Abstract
The rate of ddµ muonic molecule resonant formation in dµatom collision with a condensed
deuterium target is expressed in terms of a single-particle response function. In particular, ddµ
formation in solid deuterium at low pressures is considered . Numerical calculations of the rate in
the case of fcc polycrystalline deuterium at 3 K have been per formed using the isotropic Debye
model of solid. It is shown that the energy-dependent ddµ formation rates in the solid differ
strongly from those obtained for D 2gaseous targets, even at high dµkinetic energies. Monte
Carlo neutron spectra from ddfusion in ddµmolecules have been obtained for solid targets with
different concentrations of ortho- and para-deuterium. The recent experimental results performed
in low pressure solid targets (statistical mixture of ortho -D2and para-D 2) are explained by the
presence of strong recoilless resonance peaks in the vicini ty of 2 meV and very slow deceleration
ofdµatoms below 10 meV. A good agreement between the calculated a nd experimental spectra
is achieved when a broadening of D 2rovibrational levels in solid deuterium is taken into accou nt.
It has been shown that resonant ddµformation with simultaneous phonon creation in solid gives
only about 10% contribution to the fusion neutron yield. The neutron time spectra calculated for
pure ortho-D 2and para-D 2targets are very similar. A practically constant value of th e mean ddµ
formation rate, observed for different experimental condit ions, is ascribed to the fact that all the
recent measurements have been performed at temperatures T/lessorsimilar19 K, much lower than the target
Debye temperature Θ D≈110 K. In result, the formation rate, obtained in the limit T/ΘD≪1,
depends weakly on the temperature.

1I. INTRODUCTION
Theoretical study of resonant formation of the muonic molec uleddµin condensed deu-
terium targets is the main subject of this paper. The resonan tddµformation, first observed
by Dzhelepov and co-workers [1], is a key process of muon cata lyzed fusion ( µCF) in deu-
terium (see e.g. reviews [2, 3]). A muonic deuterium atom dµis created when a negative
muonµ−is captured into an atomic orbital in a deuterium target. Aft erdµdeexcitation
to the 1Sstate and slowing down, the ddµmolecule can be formed in dµatom collision
with one of the D 2target molecules. The resonant formation is possible due to presence
of a loosely bound state of ddµ, characterized by the rotational number J= 1 and vibra-
tional number v= 1, with binding energy |εJv=11| ≈1.97 eV. This energy, according to
the Vesman mechanism [4], is completely transferred to exci ted rovibrational states of the
molecular complex [( ddµ)dee]. The scheme of calculation of ddµformation rate in gaseous
deuterium has been developed for many years [5, 6, 7, 8], and h as lead to a good agreement
with the experiments performed in gaseous targets [9, 10]. O n the other hand, this theory,
when directly applied to solid deuterium targets, leads to s trong disagreement with the ex-
perimental results [11, 12, 13]. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the ddµformation rate
with solid state effects taken into account, which is the main purpose of this paper.
Our calculations are based on the theoretical results (tran sition matrix elements, reso-
nance energies) obtained in the case of ddµformation in a single D 2molecule. In Sec. II
the main formulas used for this case are briefly reported. A ge neral formula for the energy-
dependentddµformation rate in a D 2condensed target is derived in Sec. III, using the Van
Hove formalism of the single-particle response function [1 4]. This formula is then applied
(Sec. IV) for harmonic solid targets, in particular for a cub ic Bravais lattice. A phonon
expansion of the response function is used to study phonon co ntributions to the resonant
formation. Numerical results for 3 K zero pressure frozen de uterium targets (TRIUMF ex-
perimental conditions [11, 13]), with the fcc polycrystall ine structure, are shown in Sec. V.
The formation rates have been calculated assuming the isotr opic Debye model of the solid
and the values of Debye temperature and lattice constant obs erved in neutron scattering
experiments.
The calculated rates of resonant ddµformation and back decay have been used for Monte
Carlo simulations of ddfusion neutron and proton time spectra. Since the initial di stributions
of 1Smuonic atom energy contain contributions from hot dµ’s (∼1 eV) [15, 16], influence
of slow deceleration of dµatoms below 10 meV [17] on these time spectra is investigated
in Sec. VI. The simulations take into account the processes o f incoherent and coherent dµ
atom scattering in solid deuterium. In particular, the Brag g scattering, phonon scattering,
and rovibrational transitions in D 2molecules are included. We consider a dependence of
the resonant formation rate and time spectra on broadening o f the rovibrational D 2energy
levels, due to the binding of the molecules in the lattice [18 ].
Since it has been predicted in Refs. [19, 20, 21] that strong ddµformation takes place only
in solid para-D 2, study of this process in pure ortho-D 2and para-D 2targets is another aim
of this work. The neutron spectra calculated for these two so lids are discussed in Sec. VI.

III. RESONANT FORMATION IN A CONDENSED TARGET
Since a muonic deuterium atom can be approximately treated a s a small neutron-like
particle, methods used for description of neutron scatteri ng and absorption in condensed
matter are applicable in the case ddµformation in dense deuterium targets. Below we adapt
the method developed by Lamb [26], and then generalized by Si ngwi and Sj¨ olander [27]
using the Van Hove formalism of the single-particle respons e function Si[14], for calculation
of the resonant ddµformation rates.
A Hamiltonian Htotof a system, consisting of a dµatom in the 1 Sstate and a heavy
condensed D 2target, can be written down as follows
Htot=1
2Mdµ∇2
Rdµ+Hdµ(r1) +HD2(̺1) +V(r1,̺1,̺2) +H, (10)
whereMdµis thedµmass and Rdµdenotes the position of dµcenter of mass in the coor-
dinate frame connected with the target (see Fig. 1). Operato rHdµis the Hamiltonian of
a freedµatom,r1isdµinternal vector; HD2denotes the internal Hamiltonian of a free D 2
molecule. It is assumed that ddµformation takes place in collision with the l-th D 2target
molecule. The position of its mass center in the target frame is denoted by Rl;̺1is a vector
connecting deuterons inside this molecule. Function Vstands for the potential of the dµ–D2
interaction [8], leading to ddµresonant formation. Vector ̺2connects the dµand D 2centers
of mass. We neglect contributions to the potential Vfrom the molecules other than the l-th
molecule because we assume here that distances between diffe rent molecules in the target
are much greater than the D 2size. The kinetic energy εof thedµatom and its momentum k
in the target frame are connected by the relation
ε=k2/2Mdµ. (11)
4The Hamiltonian Hof a pure D 2target, corresponding to the initial target energy E0,
has the form

whereRjis the position of j-th molecule center of mass in the target frame (Fig. 2), Ujj′de-
notes interaction between the j-th andj′-th molecule, and Mmolis the mass of a single target
molecule.
The coordinate part Ψ totof the initial wave function of the system can be written as
a product
Ψtot=ψ1S
dµ(r1)ψνiKi
D2(̺1) exp(ik·Rdµ)|0/angb∇acket∇ight, (13)
where |0/angb∇acket∇ightstands for the initial wave function of the condensed D 2target, corresponding the
total energy E0. Eigenfunctions of the operators HdµandHD2are denoted by ψ1S
dµandψνiKi
D2,
respectively. Using the relation Rdµ=Rl+̺2, the wave function Ψ tottakes the form
Ψtot=ψ1S
dµ(r1)ψνiKi
D2(̺1) exp(ik·̺2) exp(ik·Rl)|0/angb∇acket∇ight, (14)
which is similar to that used in the case of ddµformation on a single D 2, except the factor
exp(ik·Rl)|0/angb∇acket∇ight. This factor depends only on positions of mass centers of the target molecules.

proximated by the operator H′

which depends on the respective internal vector ̺. The final Hamiltonian /tildewideHof the target,
with the eigenfunction |/tildewiden/angb∇acket∇ightand energy eigenvalue /tildewideEn, is expressed by the formula

νiKi,νfKf(ε) in the condensed target,
for the initial |0/angb∇acket∇ightand final |/tildewiden/angb∇acket∇ighttarget states and a fixed dµtotal spinF, is calculated using
the formula

νiKi,νfKf(ε) = 2πNB if|Ai0,fn|2δ(ε−εif+E0−/tildewideEn), (18)
5with the resonance condition
ε+E0=εif+/tildewideEn, (19)
taking into account the initial and final energy of the target . The resonant energy for a free
D2is denoted by εifand the transition matrix element is given by
Ai0,fn=/angb∇acketleftΨ′
tot|V|Ψtot/angb∇acket∇ight. (20)
Using Eqs. (14) and (17) the matrix element (20) can be writte n as a product
Ai0,fn=/angb∇acketleft/tildewiden|exp(ik·Rl)|0/angb∇acket∇ightVif(ε) (21)
whereVif(ε) is the transition matrix element calculated for a single D 2molecule [8]. The
rate (18) can be additionally averaged over a distribution ρn0of the initial target states at
a given temperature Tand summed over the final target states, which leads to

FactorBif, defined by Eqs. (8), is due to the averaging over the initial p rojections and
summation over the final projections of spin and rovibration al quantum numbers. This
factor takes also into account a symmetrization of the total wave function of dµ+D2system
over three deuterium nuclei.
Now we introduce a time variable tto eliminate the δfunction in the equation above and
then we involve time-dependent operators, which is familia r in scattering theory (see, e.g.,
Refs [28, 29]). Using the Fourier expansion of the δfunction

if. (32)
The advantage of the Van Hove method is that all properties of the target, for given momen-
tum and energy transfers, are contained in the factor Si(k,ω). It is possible to rigorously
calculate Siin the case of a perfect gas and in the case of a harmonic solid. However, a liquid
target or a dense gas target is a difficult problem to solve.

The energy ETcontains a contribution from the zero-point vibrations and it approaches
3kBT/2 only at high temperatures T≫wmax/kB. Function (46) is a Gaussian with re-
sponse centered at the recoil energy R. Therefore in the weak binding region the resonant
formation rate takes the Doppler form obtained by Bethe and P laczek1for resonant ab-
sorption of neutrons in gas targets [31]. However, the reson ance width (47) in the solid at
temperature Tis different from the Doppler width in a Maxwellian gas ∆ gas= 2√kBTR
unless the temperature is sufficiently high. This phenomenon was pointed out by Lamb in
his paper [26] concerning resonant neutron absorption in so lid crystals. By virtue of the
equations above one can introduce for the solid an effective t emperature Teff

9V. RESONANT FORMATION IN FROZEN DEUTERIUM
The following considerations concern the solid deuterium c rystals used in the TRIUMF
experiments [32, 33], though the results presented below ca n be applied to targets obtained
in similar conditions [12, 34]. At TRIUMF thin solid deuteri um layers have been formed by
rapid freezing of gaseous D 2on gold foils at T= 3 K and zero pressure. According to Ref. [35]
such deuterium layers have the face-centered cubic (fcc) po lycrystalline structure. Since the
distance between the neighboring molecules is a few times gr eater than the diameter of
a D2molecule and the Van der Waals force that binds the solid is we ak, one can neglect
perturbations of the resonant formation potential Vdue to these neighbors.
The deuterium crystals at zero pressure are quantum molecul ar crystals. The amplitude
of zero-point vibration at 3 K equals 15% of the nearest neigh bor distance. A single-particle
potential in this case is not harmonic and the standard latti ce dynamics leads to imaginary
phonon frequencies. However, the standard dynamics can be a pplied after a renormalization
of the interaction potential, taking into account the short -range pair correlations between
movement of the neighbors [35]. In result, the theoretical c alculations [36] of the phonon
dispersion relations give a good agreement with the neutron scattering experiments [37] and
the Debye model for solid deuterium can be used as a good appro ximation of the phonon
energy distribution

experiments. For T= 3 K we use the Debye model of an isotropic solid with Θ D= 108 K

are very good approximations of Eqs. (41), (48) and (49). The Debye-Waller factor and
mean kinetic energy ETat lowest temperatures are determined by contributions fro m the
zero-point D 2vibration in the lattice, and therefore these quantities do not tend to zero at
T→0. The zero-point energy is not accessible energy, but its eff ects are always present.
The values of the resonance energies depend on initial and fin al rovibrational quantum
numbers of the system. In solid hydrogens at low pressures th ese quantum numbers remain
good quantum numbers, but excited energy levels broaden int o energy bands (rotons and
vibrons) due to coupling between neighboring molecules [18 ]. The calculations presented in
the literature concern pure solid H 2, HD and D 2targets and only lowest quantum numbers.
The problem of a heavier impurity, such as ( ddµ)dcomplex in D 2, has not been considered
yet. However, knowing that the width of the rotational bands can reach about 1 meV [18],
a possible influence of this effect on the calculated formatio n rates and fusion neutron time
spectra is discussed in the next section.
At low temperatures all D 2molecules are in the ground vibrational state νi= 0 andddµ
is formed via the excitation of the complex to the state νf= 7. Unless a catalyst is applied,
rapidly frozen deuterium is a mixture of ortho-D 2(Ki= 0) and para-D 2(Ki= 1). In the
TRIUMF experiments gaseous deuterium was pumped through a h ot palladium filter before
freezing. Therefore the solid target was a statistical mixt ure (2:1) of the ortho- and para-
states (Ki=stat). Since the para-ortho relaxation without a catalyst is ver y slow (0.06%/h)
10in solid deuterium [38], the population of these states is no t changed during experiments of
a few days.
The lowest resonance energies εifandε′
if, for fixedνi,νfand different values of F,Ki,
SandKfare shown in Table I [10]. A few of them have negative values, w hich means that
to satisfy the resonance condition ε=εifan energy excess in the dµ+D2system should be
transferred to external degrees of freedom. This is possibl e in dense targets, where energy
of neighboring molecules can be increased. Such an effect, du e to triple collisions in gas
targets, has been firstly discussed in Ref. [39]. In a solid, t he energy excess is lost through
incoherent phonon creation. According to (25), (28), and (5 1), in the considered 3 K solid
deuterium all resonant energies ε′
ifare shifted by ∆ εif≈ −1.81 meV. One can see that
all resonances for F=1
2are placed at higher energies, which is caused by dµhyperfine
splitting ∆Ehfs= 48.5 meV. All resonance energies ε′
if/lessorsimilarwD≈10 meV are connected with
formation from the upper spin state F=3
2ofdµ. However, only resonances corresponding
to the dipole transitions Ki= 0→Kf= 1 andKi= 1→Kf= 0,2 can give a significant
contribution to the formation rate at lowest energies. Othe r transition matrix elements
described in Ref. [40] tend to zero when ε→0 (see Figs. 3 and 4 obtained for Ki= 0 and
Ki= 1 ).
The low energy rates ( ε/lessorsimilarwD) are calculated using formula (44) with a few most sig-
nificant terms of the response function expansion (40) taken into account. Fig. 5 shows the
function Si(κ,ε−ε′
if) corresponding to the two dipole transitions in para-D 2. The sub-
threshold resonance, with ε′
if≈ −9.0 meV, gives contributions to the formation rate only
through the phonon creation processes. For ε′
if≈1.6 meV, the non-phonon process is pos-
sible and it is represented by a vertical line. Different peak s in this figure describe processes
connected with different numbers of created phonons. In part icular, one-phonon processes,
which are proportional to Z(w) with the characteristic Debye cutoff, can be clearly distin -
guished. Since the n-phonon term in (40) is proportional to κ2n, theddµformation rate
tends to zero at ε→0. Note that the phonon annihilation gives negligible contr ibution to
the rate at very low target temperatures T≪ΘD.

In the case of resonances satisfying the condition ε′
if≤wDwe have 2W < 1 and the
expansion (44) is used. The two strong peaks represent the re coilless formation process,
without phonon excitations. The delta function profile of ev ery peak is shown as a rectangle
with a height equal to the formation rate strength divided by the total decay width ( ≈
0.8×10−3meV). The strength defined as the value of the factor standing beforeδ(ω) in
the expansion (44), is equal to 0.1061 eV ·µs−1for the resonance Ki= 0→Kf= 1 in
solid ortho-D 2. The transition Ki= 1→Kf= 2 in para-D 2gives 0.07544 eV ·µs−1as
the resonance strength. Higher resonance energies involve many multi-phonon terms and
therefore we use the asymptotic form (46) of Siforε′
if>wD. All formation rates presented
in the figures are normalized to the liquid hydrogen density N0= 4.25×1022atoms/cm3.
Though in Monte Carlo simulations, involving energy-depen dent rates of different pro-
cesses, the “absolute” formation rates λF
Ki(ε) should be used, it is convenient to introduce an
11effective formation rate ¯λF
Ki(ε) which leads to the nuclear ddfusion in [(ddµ)dee] complex.
Back decay of the complex to the dµ+D2system, characterized by the quantum numbers K′
i
andF′, strongly influences the fusion process because the back-de cay rates are comparable
with the effective fusion rate ¯λf≈374µs−1[7]. Since in a solid target rotational deexci-
tation of the asymmetric complex is much faster than back dec ay and fusion, it is assumed
that back decay takes place only from the state Kf= 0. The effective formation rate is then
defined by the following formula

Since the frequency of lattice vibrations ( ∼wD//planckover2pi1∼107µs−1) is many orders of mag-
nitude greater than the back-decay and fusion rates, energe tic phonons created during
theddµformation process are dissipated. At 3 K the number of phonon s with energies
w/greaterorsimilarkBT≈0.26 meV is strongly suppressed by the Bose factor nB(w). Therefore back
decay with phonon annihilation at T≪ΘDis negligible. In particular, the phonon channel
of decay of ddµ, formed from dµstateF=3
2due to the subthreshold resonances, is closed
because this would require an annihilation of a phonon with e nergy of a few meV. In this case
back decay is connected with the spin-flip transition to F′=1
2. Since the corresponding en-
ergy release of a few tens of meV is much greater than the Debye energy (∆Ehfs≫wD), the
ddµdecay rate is dominated by contributions from simultaneous phonon creation processes.

It is assumed in the formula above that the phonon energy spec trum of solid deuterium
containing [( ddµ)dee] is similar to that of a pure deuterium lattice. The problem o f lattice
dynamics of a quantum solid deuterium crystal containing a s mall admixture of a heavier
isotope has not been considered yet in literature, at least t o the knowledge of the authors.
However, this approximation is reasonable since the Debye t emperatures of solid hydrogen
12and deuterium at 3 K are very similar [35], independently of t he mass difference of these
isotopes. Therefore it is assumed that during the ddµlifetime the mean kinetic energy /tildewideETof
the complex reaches the energy ETcharacterizing a pure deuterium solid. Thus the resonance
energy shift (34) is approximated by
∆˜εif≈ −(MC/Mmol−1)ET≈ −2.77 meV, (58)
which gives ˜ ε′
if=εif−2.77 meV.
The effective formation rates in 3 K solid deuterium for F=3
2are shown in Fig. 7.
The phonon part of the rates below a few meV is about two orders of magnitude lower
than the average rate of 2.7 µs−1derived from the experiment [11, 13]. This means that
atε≪wDthe phonon contribution to the total resonant formation rat e is even smaller
than the non resonant ddµformation rate λnr≈0.44µs−1[9], and that the estimation of the
phonon contribution given in Ref. [20] is strongly overesti mated. Therefore, the experimental
results can only be explained by resonant ddµformation at energies ε/greaterorsimilar1 meV, where
the rate exceeds significantly the value of 1 µs−1. A cusp at 0.3 meV in para-D 2is due
to the formation with simultaneous one-phonon creation, co nnected with the subthreshold
resonanceKi= 1→Kf= 0. This implies a significant difference between the resonan t
formation in ortho-D 2and para-D 2below 1 meV. However, this difference is difficult to
measure because of a broad distribution of dµenergy. Note that a similar subthreshold
phonon effect in the case of resonant dtµformation in solid deuterium has been discussed
in Ref [41].
In the solid target the fusion fraction Pfus
S≈0.3 and the total resonance width ΓS≈
0.8×10−3meV for both S=1
2andS=3
2. The back-decay rate ΓSF′fromS=1
2toF′=1
2
equals about 843 µs−1. DecayS=1
2→F′=1
2is impossible. In the case of S=3
2we have
obtained ΓSF′≈281µs−1forF′=1
2and ΓSF′≈610µs−1forF′=3
2. Phonon creation
processes give dominant contributions to the back-decay ra tes, e.g., the non-phonon part of
ΓSF′, given by the first term of expansion (56), equals 169 µs−1. Therefore the dµenergy
spectrum, after back decay in the solid, is not discrete.
In Fig. 8 the effective rates in solid deuterium for F=1
2are presented. For the sake
of comparison the formation rate for 3 K ortho-D 2gas is also plotted. The “gas” curve
has been calculated using the asymptotic formula (46) for SiwithTeff= 3 K.This figure
shows that in a real solid deuterium target the rates are smea red much more than in a gas
target with the same temperature, because of the zero-point vibrations. Therefore even at
relatively high dµenergies of some 0.1 eV one should not neglect the solid effect s and use
the formation rates calculated for a 3 K Maxwellian gas.
VI. MONTE CARLO CALCULATIONS
The calculated energy-dependent ddµformation rates have been applied in our Monte
Carlo simulations of µCF in 3 K solid deuterium targets. The final dµenergy distribution
after back decay, including simultaneous phonon creation p rocesses, has been determined
through a numerical integration of Eq. (56). The calculated distribution is shown in Fig. 9
forS=1
2,Kf= 0 andF′=1
2. The rotational transitions to K′
i= 0,1,2 with no phonon
creation are seen as the delta peaks. The continuous energy s pectrum describes phonon
creation contribution to dµenergy. Note that, opposite to ddµformation rates, this phonon
13contribution (for a given rotational transition peak) exte nds towards lower energies. The
averagedµenergy after ddµback decay equals about 30 meV, for the presented spectrum.
Theddfusion neutron and proton spectra depend on the time evoluti on ofdµenergy.
This energy is determined by differential cross sections of d ifferent scattering processes of dµ
atoms in a given solid target, including elastic scattering , rovibrational transitions, spin-flip
reactions and phonon processes. The scattering cross secti ons in a solid are calculated using
the Van Hove method. Some results of such calculations for dµatoms in fcc solid deuterium
have been presented and discussed in Ref. [42]. The incohere nt processes, such as spin-flip or
rovibrational transitions, are described by the self pair c orrelation function Gs(r,t) defined
by Eq. (29). The Bragg scattering and coherent phonon scatte ring are connected with a pair
correlation function G(r,t) [14].
In Fig. 10 is shown the total cross section for dµ(F=3
2) scattering in the statistical
mixture of 3 K solid ortho-D 2and para-D 2. Bragg scattering, with the Bragg cutoff at
εB= 1.1 meV, and incoherent elastic scattering do not change dµenergy because of the very
large mass of the considered solid target. Below 1.7 meV the dµatom is effectively acceler-
ated, mainly due to the rotational deexcitation of para-D 2molecules [21, 42]. This transition
is enabled by muon exchange between deuterons in dµ+D2scattering. The curve “0 →1”
in Fig. 10, describing the rotational deexcitation, includ es contributions from simultaneous
incoherent phonon processes. This cross section at ε= 2.5 meV equals 0.22 ×10−20cm2,
which is about three times less (taking into account the stat istical factor of 1/3 for K= 1
states) than the estimation given in paper [21]. Phonon anni hilation is a much weaker dµ
acceleration mechanism than the rotational deexcitation.
Since the coherent amplitude for dµelastic scattering on a single D 2molecule is greater
by two orders of magnitude than the incoherent amplitude, th e coherent processes involving
conservation of momentum dominate low energy dµscattering in solid deuterium. It is
especially important below a few meV, where the shapes of coh erent and incoherent cross
sections differ strongly. The small phonon creation cross se ction below 1.1 meV, leading to
dµenergy loss, is due to the incoherent amplitude. Coherent ph onon creation is impossible
belowεB. This limit is obtained in the case of coherent one-phonon cr eation process, for
the total momentum conservation involving the smallest (no n-zero) inverse lattice vector τ,
which also fixes the position of the first peak of the Bragg scat tering atεB= 1.1 meV. For
τ=0one-phonon creation is possible only if the dµvelocity is not lower than the sound
velocity in the crystal, which is well-known in neutron phys ics. According to Ref. [38] the
mean sound velocity in solid deuterium equals about 1.2 ×105cm/s and this corresponds
todµenergy of 15 meV. Therefore, neglecting the inverse lattice contribution to the one-
phonon creation cross section in Ref. [21] leads to the sever e underestimation of dµslowing
down at lowest energies and subsequent overestimation of dµkinetic energy.
Above 1.7 meV phonon creation already prevails over all acce leration processes. However,
the effective deceleration rate below wDis strongly suppressed by the dominating Bragg
elastic scattering. At energies above some 10 meV subsequen t rotational and then vibrational
excitations of D 2molecules become important and they provide a very fast mech anism of
dµdeceleration at higher energies.
The total cross section for dµ(F=3
2) scattering in a pure 3 K ortho-D 2target (see
Fig. 11) is quite similar to that shown in Fig. 10. A significan t difference is the lack of
rotational deexcitation. Therefore phonon annihilation i s the only, and weak, acceleration
mechanism. It dominates the inelastic cross section below 1 .4 meV.
Fig. 12 presents the time evolution of average dµ(F=3
2) atom energy εavg, obtained from
14our Monte Carlo calculations. It is assumed that the target i s infinite and that dµatoms
have initially a Maxwellian energy distribution with a mean energy of 1 eV. A statistical
initial population of dµtotal spin is used and the theoretical non-resonant part of t he total
spin-flip rate λ3
2,1
2is multiplied by a single scaling factor of 0.4, in order to ke ep agreement
with the experimental values [10, 43] of the spin-flip rate. T he calculations have been
performed for ortho-D 2, para-D 2and their statistical mixture (stat). One can see that
dµmean energy of 10 meV is reached already after 5 ns. Then, belo w the Debye energy,
deceleration become very slow. The lowest value of εavgis determined by the intersection
point of the cross sections of the acceleration processes an d phonon creation process. In the
case of a statistical mixture εavg≈1.7 meV, for K= 0 we have εavg≈1.4 meV. Finally, for
pure para-D 2, with a contribution to the total cross section from the rota tional transition
K= 1→0 three times greater than that shown in Fig. 10, εavg≈2.2 meV. Thus, dµatoms
are never thermalized and their energy is significantly grea ter than 1 meV. For para-D 2the
mean energy is always greater than the energy of the lowest re sonance peak ε′
if= 1.6 meV.
However, even if εavgis smaller than ε′
if, a significant part of dµatoms has energy ε≥ε′
if
because of a large admixture of hot dµatoms att= 0 [15, 16] and slow deceleration below
10 meV.
Since at energies of a few meV the lowest delta peaks are domin ant in the resonant
formation, their contributions to the mean effective format ion rate are shown in Fig. 13 for
gas and solid deuterium (stat) targets, assuming steady Max well distributions of dµ(F=3
2)
energy, with different εavg. The maximum average rate of about 6 µs−1in the solid is
due to the resonance energy shift of −1.8 meV. The experimental result of 3 µs−1can be
explained because εavgis greater than 1 meV. However, in order to obtain large fusio n
neutron and proton yields through resonant ddµformation, the width ΓSof the resonance
peaks in solid can not be too narrow. The peak resonant rates o f a few 104µs−1have been
obtained assuming the discrete values of the rovibrational D2energies in solid deuterium
and ΓS∼10−3meV. These resonant rates are many orders of magnitude great er than the
inelastic scattering rate ∼10µs−1. In such a case dµatoms are very quickly (compared to
dµ(F=3
2) lifetime) removed from the regions of resonance peaks and t he contribution of the
recoilless resonances to the neutron yield is negligible. T he Monte Carlo simulations have
shown that the neutron yield from the phonon part of the reson ant rates gives only some 10%
of the yield observed in the experiments. In result, the calc ulated time spectra, obtained
for the small ΓS, are dominated by weak non-resonant ddµformation, which disagrees with
the experimental data. Therefore, we have investigated infl uence of a broadening of the
non-phonon resonant peaks, due to the presence of molecular rovibrational bands in solid,
discussed in Ref. [18]. Since in the literature there is no in formation concerning the profile
of such bands, we have assumed a rectangular shape of the reso nance peaks. The resonance
strengths have been fixed and their widths have been changed i n the limits 0.001–1 meV. It
turns out that good Monte Carlo results are obtained for ΓS≈0.5 meV, which is consistent
with the rotational bandwidths of about 1 meV reported in Ref . [18]. This gives the resonant
formation rate of 294 µs−1for the recoilless peak in ortho-D 2, and respectively 214 µs−1in
para-D 2. In Fig. 14 one sees the resonant formation rate at lowest ene rgies for ΓS= 0.5 meV
and for the statistical mixture of ortho- and para-states. A lso shown is the Monte Carlo
distribution of dµ(F=3
2) energy, calculated for times t= 10 ns and t= 30 ns. The
Maxwell distribution of initial dµenergy, with εavg= 1 eV, has been assumed. Two minima
in thedµenergy distribution appear quickly at the positions of the r esonance peaks since
the respective ddµformation rates are comparable with the total inelastic sca ttering rate of
15about 30µs−1.
Theddfusion neutron spectrum, calculated assuming the same init ialdµenergy and
resonance profiles, is shown in Fig. 15. A 3.2 ×10−6concentration of nitrogen is included in
order to fit the TRIUMF target conditions. The solid line plot ted in this figure has been cal-
culated using the steady-state kinetics model with the effec tive formation rate ¯λ3/2
stat= 3µs−1
and total spin-flip rate λ3
2,1
2= 36µs−1taken from the fits to the experimental data [13]. The
slope of the spectrum at t/lessorsimilar80 ns is determined by the rates ¯λ3/2
stat,λ3
2,1
2, anddµscattering
rate which also changes the population of dµ(F=3
2) atoms in the vicinity of the resonant
peaks. The steady-state kinetics model does not include the process ofdµdeceleration.
Therefore, fits using this model could entangle the decelera tion rate with the formation and
spin-flip rates. The mean formation rate, calculated direct ly in the Monte Carlo runs, is
a function of time, and it stays at the level of 1–3 µs−1. The spectrum slope at large times
t/greaterorsimilar100 ns, when dµ(F=3
2) atoms practically disappear, are due to the nonresonant ddµ
formation from F=1
2and to the muon transfer to nitrogen contamination.
The shape of the time spectra practically does not change whe n the mean energy εavgof
the initial single Maxwell distribution varies in the limit s 0.01–1 eV. On the other hand, the
spectra change strongly if a significant part of dµatoms att= 0 has energy smaller than
the energy of the lowest resonant peak, which can be observed using a more complicated
(e.g. two-Maxwell distribution). Assuming that ΓSis greater than 0.5 meV we obtain results
which begin to differ significantly from the analytical curve calculated with the experimental
parameters. In particular, the ratios of neutron yields fro m the short and large times begin
to disagree. Fits of the calculated spectra to the experimen tal data would enable a better
determining of ΓSand a shape of the initial dµenergy. However, this is not the purpose
of this work. A qualitative comparison of Monte Carlo spectr a with the experimental data
has already been performed in article [13]. In this case good fits were not obtained since
at that time the resonant ddµformation rates in solid D 2anddµscattering rates including
coherent effects in the solid were not yet available.
Our calculations show that strong resonant ddµformation takes place both in ortho-D 2
and para-D 2. There are certain differences between the neutron time spec tra from these
targets (see Fig. 16), caused by the different positions and s trengths of the lowest resonance
peaks. Also dµslowing down process differs slightly in the two cases. The ne utron yield at
larger times is smaller for ortho-D 2since in this case the resonance peak is placed at higher
energy of 2.3 meV. Therefore, dµatoms are removed faster from the peak compared to the
situation in para-D 2, where the resonance is observed at 1.6 meV. A greater mean dµenergy
in para-D 2(cf. Fig. 12) leads also to a stronger overlap of the resonanc e peak and dµenergy
distribution at t/greaterorsimilar20 ns. However, the differences between the spectra can be cle arly seen
only in high-statistics experiments.
VII. CONCLUSIONS
The methods used for description of resonant neutron and γ-ray absorption in condensed
matter have been directly applied for calculation of resona ntddµformation and back-decay
rates in condensed deuterium targets. These rates are expre ssed in terms of the Van Hove
single-particle function, which depends on properties of a given target. In particular, we
have derived the analytical formulas for the rate in the case of resonant ddµformation in
a harmonic solid deuterium. The calculations show great diff erences between resonant ddµ
16formation in 3 K solid deuterium and in 3 K D 2gas. In solid, the formation at a few meV,
which determines the experimental results, is dominated by presence of the strong recoilless
resonant peaks. On the other hand, the formation with simult aneous phonon creation is
important above the Debye energy. The resonance profiles in t he solid at higher energies are
similar to that in D 2gas, but with the effective temperature equal to 40 K. This tem perature
is determined by the energy of zero-point vibration of D 2molecule in the lattice. Phonon
creation is always important in the case of ddµback decay because it is connected with
energy release of a few tens meV, which is much greater than th e Debye energy.
A condition T/ΘD≪1 is fulfilled for any solid deuterium target at low pressure. There-
fore, the parameters determining solid state effects (Debye -Waller factor, mean energy of D 2
vibration in solid) weakly depend on target temperature T. They are expressed in terms of
the Debye energy wDwhich does not significantly change with the varying solid te mpera-
tureT. In result, the resonant ddµformation rates in solid deuterium for different Tare very
similar and one may expect that the average formation rates, derived from measurements
performed at different temperatures, will also be very close . This is confirmed by the results
of experiments carried out at TRIUMF and at JINR.
The structure of a solid deuterium target depends on its temp erature and history. Targets
maintained at T/greaterorsimilar4 K have the hcp structure [35]. Though our calculations have been
performed for fcc crystals, the obtained results are also go od approximations of the resonant
rates in hcp polycrystals since the Debye temperature and ne arest neighbor distance are
similar for these two lattices. In general, the formulas der ived in this paper can be used in
a wide range of target temperature and density, with appropr iate experimental values of the
Debye temperature and lattice constant taken into account.
The Monte Carlo calculations show that dµdeceleration below the Debye energy is very
slow and that mean energy of dµ(F=3
2) atom is always significantly greater than 1 meV. The
energy distribution of dµ’s during their lifetime is very broad (at least a few meV), th erefore
a strong overlap of this distribution and lowest resonance p eaks takes place, leading to a large
meanddµformation rate in solid deuterium. However, explanation of the experiments is
possible only if the broadening of rovibrational molecular levels in solid is taken into account.
We obtained reasonable results assuming that the strengths of the recoilless resonant peaks
are constant and that the rotational bands increase the reso nance peak width to 0.5 meV.
Note that, according to Ref. [18], high pressures lead to a gr eater broadening and even to
a mixing of rotational states. This could complicate a compa rison of theory and high-pressure
experiments. The phonon part of the resonant rate give only a bout 10% contribution to the
calculated neutron time spectra.
Theddfusion neutron spectra calculated for ortho-D 2and para-D 2solid targets are
quite similar. Small differences between the spectra are due to the different energies and
strengths of the lowest resonant peaks, and to a slightly hig her meandµenergy in para-D 2.
These differences can be clearly seen only in high-statistic s experiments. Our calculations
do not confirm a lack of strong resonant ddµformation in solid ortho-D 2, predicted in the
papers [20, 21]. In order to verify the theory it is necessary to perform measurements in
pure ortho-D 2and para-D 2solid targets under the same conditions.

physics/0102082 ppp hhh yyysssiiicccsss///000111000222000888222 Problems with “GR without SR: A gravitational -domain
description of first -order Doppler effects” (gr-qc/9807084)
Eric Baird February 2001
Einstein’s goal of producing an advanced gravitational model that was independent of special
relativity’s “non -gravitational” derivations has arguably still not been achieved. The author produced a
paper in 1998 outlining a possible method of attack on the problem based on shift equivalence
principles (“Doppler mass shift”). Some problems with this paper have since come to light. We list
some further developments, some papers not cited in gr -qc/9807084, some experimental results
missed by the author, and identify a problem with the paper’s approach to aberration effects.
1. INTRODUCTION
In April 1950, Einstein publish ed an article in
Scientific American stating his opinion that a full
gravitational model should not depend on special
relativity as a foundation [1] – while physics within
flat spacetime is certainly very convenient [2], the
simplifying assumption of iner tial mass without
gravitational mass is not a natural feature of more
advanced gravitational models.
Paper gr -qc/9807084 by this author “GR without
SR” [3] described a paradigm intended to avoid
special relativity’s “flat” geometry, with velocity -
dependen t curvature between relatively -moving
masses acting as a regulating mechanism for
local lightspeed constancy (with conventional
Doppler shifts appearing as gravitational -domain
effects). The most suprising aspects of this
alternative model were i) that it seemed to allow a
different “relativistic” shift equation to that used by
special relativity, and ii) that this altered
relationship did not seem to generate the usual
incompatibilities between classical and quantum
models (“black hole information paradox” [4]), and
still seemed to be compatible with all current
experimental data.
Since the first version of the paper was uploaded
to the LANL archive, some problems have come
to light, namely
1. the paper’s accidental reversal of some
aberration relationships a nd effects, and
2. the omission of published experimental
evidence supporting special relativity’s
Doppler relationships.
In this supplementary paper we document these
problems, and also list some additional work that
has been produced or become known to th e
author since September 1998. 2. ABERRATION PROBLEMS
A basic derivation of relativistic aberration effects
for shift equations (1), (2) and (3) (as identified in
[3] section 5.1) has shown that special relativ ity’s
aberration formula [5], with its forward -tilted rays
is a “general” relativistic result [6], and does not
depend on the assumption of flat spacetime or on
special relativity’s particular choice of Doppler
equations.
The paper therefore seems to be i n error when it
relates a rearward -observed redshift on a receding
object to an apparent rearward concentration of
fieldlines in a receding object – while the author’s
calculated fieldline density -change ratios are
probably correct, the actual relationship seems to
be inversely proportional rather than directly
proportional (it is easy to make this sort of
accidental inversion when working with an
“unexplored” model, e.g. Newton [7]).
The correct argument would seem to be the one
presented elsewhere in the paper for the inverse
relationship between the object’s perception of
environmental Doppler effects and of
environmental fieldline density – the “moving”
object sees more environmental mass ahead than
behind, but the proposed Doppler mass shift
effect act s to enhance the gravitational influence
of aft (redshifted) masses and lessen the
attraction of the forward (blueshifted) material –
the Doppler effect acts against the calculated
effect of aberration on fieldline density [8].
A recent piece by Carlip [9] has come to a
broadly similar conclusion regarding the equal
magnitude of displacement and aberration effects,
with velocity components acting to make any
supposed gravitational -field aberration effects
undetectable. Problems with “GR without SR: A gravitational -domain description of first -order Doppler effects” Eric Baird 2/4

physics/0102082 ppphhhyyysssiiicccsss///000111000222000888222 3. MISSED EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
3.1 “Transv erse” tests using non-transverse
measurements
From “GR without SR” [3] section 9.1: “ While it
may seem improbable that we have not yet been
able to verify that the SR shift prediction (2) is more
accurate than the earlier equation (1), the author has
so far been unable to find any direct evidence
favoring (2)”
In fact, a number of experiments that are listed
as tests of special relativity’s “transverse” redshift
predictions are actually based on analysis of non-
transverse data (e.g. Ives -Stilwell [10]). These
experiments had been missed because of their
usual classification as “transverse” tests [11].
At least two of the experiments listed in
MacArthur’s review piece [11], [10][12] do lend
themselves to reanalysis, and do appear to give a
very good match to the predictions of (2) rather
than (1), which seems to settle the issue in favour
of special relativity. However, th ese experiments
were carried out at a time when it seems to have
been widely accepted that lab -transverse redshift
effects could only be generated by (2) (“... no
change in frequency. ” [13] “classically one would not
expect a frequency shift from a source t hat moves by
right angles.” [14]), suggesting the possibility that
an experimenter looking for either a null result or a
Lorentz redshift might attribute an “inexplicable”
double -strength redshift [15] to a combination of
(2) and some additional redshifting effect in the
apparatus (such as mirror recoil).

Since these experiments seem to be the only
ones to date that give unequivocal support for
special relativity’s choice of shift equation, it
would be helpful if similar future experiments [16]
could be designed to test for possible agreement
with (1), as well as with (2) and (3) [17]. 4. ADDITIONAL REFERENCES AND
FURTHER WORK
4.1 Black hole information paradox
This paradox (Susskind review article [4]) has
also been discussed in detail by Preskill,
Danielson and Schiffer [18][19], and does not
appear to apply to a physics based on (1).
Unruh’s work on indirect radiation through signal
horizons in non -SR models [20][21] described
“sonic horizon” radiation as being an analogue of
Hawking radiation. Visser has since presented
this effect as a full Hawking radiation effect
[22][23][24]. Visser’s paper appeared in the LANL
archive after research for “GR without SR” had
been completed.
4.2 Aberr ation and angle -dependent shifts
The angle -changes and angle -dependent
frequency -shifts associated with hypothetical
relativistic models based on (1), (2) and (3) have
now been calculated from general principles,
without presupposing flat spacetime [6]. In this
exercise, all three calculations generate the same
aberration formula as special relativity [5], and
generates the result that for any given laboratory
angle, (2) predicts wavelengths that are Lorentz
redshifted compared to (3), but (1) predicts
wavelengths that are doubly Lorentz -shifted
compared to (3) [6][15]. Lorentz relationships are
often presented as being unique to (2) (but see
Visser [25]).
4.3 E=mc2
An exact derivation of the E=mc2 result from (1)
for a pair of plane -waves aligned with the moving
object’s path has now been given and discussed
in [26]. The relationshi ps given in [6] also let us
apply this result to pairs of plane -waves emitted at
any other angle.
4.4 Transverse effects
The Lorentz -squared redshift predictions for a
lab-transverse detector for (1) are general an d
apply to relativistic and non -relativistic
calculations ( see: Lodge’s 1893 “ spurious or
apparent Doppler ” prediction [27]). Special
relativity’s predictions are the root product of the
predictions made for (1) and (3) not just for the
non-transverse case [28], but also for any other
angle defined in a given frame [29]. Problems with “GR without SR: A gravitational -domain description of first -order Doppler effects” Eric Baird 3/4

physics/0102082 ppphhhyyysssiiicccsss///000111000222000888222 4.5 Time dilation without acceleration
Textbooks tend to suggest that muon
pathlengths are only explainable using special
relativity [30]. The mathematics indicates
otherwise – for a muon created at the edge of the
Earth’s atmosphere with a given rest mass, rest
frame lifetime and momentum, the “new”
calculated penetration depth under special
relativity is the same as the older Newtonian
prediction [15].
Lab-transverse redshifts (“aberration redshifts”)
already feature in a range of models that do not
include physical time -dilation effects [15].
4.6 Acceleration effects
Acceleration of an object towards the obse rver
introduces non -linear behaviour that is not
compatible with flat -space approximations [31]
(see also “acceleration radiation” and
Bekenstein/Hawking radiation under more
standard theory). A full gravitational description of
the “twins" problem can run into similar problems
under general relativity [32][33].
5. WORK BY OTHER AUTHORS
Matt Visser and W.G. Unruh have derived
purely classical indirect radiation effects in
transonic fluid flows, and identified these effects
as Hawking radiation effects. This work would
also seem to apply to indirect radiation through
the r=2M surface in systems of physics based
around shift equation (1).
Steve Carlip has produced a study of the
aberration -gravity problem, and related the lack of
additional gravitational aberrati on effects to the
existence of gravitational velocity components [9].
S. Dinowitz has described a model that sounds
similar in concept to the Doppler mass shift idea
[34].
Wolfgang Rindler has described how ge neral
relativity could (in theory) have been developed in
the Nineteenth Century, independently of special
relativity [35]. 6. CONCLUSIONS
The sort of model described in [3] calls on
several obscure areas of physi cs theory that have
not yet been fully explored, because of
complicating non -linearities or incompatibilities
with special relativity. Progress in at least some
of these areas is now being stimulated by work on
the black hole information paradox.
Experime nts such as Ives/Stilwell indicate that
Nature’s shift laws do obey (2) rather than (1),
apparently invalidating this approach and making
the existence of a possible non -SR solution to the
information paradox irrelevant.
However, these experiments were pr obably
designed to differentiate between the “null shift”
and “redshift” predictions of (2) and (3). If
experimenters were not aware of the (largely
undocumented) double Lorentz redshift
predictions associated with (1), it is still
conceivable that further experiments, designed to
differentiate between (1) and (2), may still tip the
balance of evidence towards the non -SR equation.

Abstract
The results of tests of 1” vacuum phototriodes in a magnetic fi eld up to 4.5 T are
presented. It was found that output amplitude decreases by a bout 6% per tesla in
the magnetic field range from 2.0 to 4.0 T. For devices with an a node mesh pitch
of 16µm, the output amplitude at 4.0 T is 30% lower than that at zero fi eld.
1 Introduction
Scintillation calorimeters which are an important part of a ll modern elemen-
tary particle detectors are often located in harsh environm ent of strong mag-
netic field and high radiation fluxes. Photodetectors having to operate in such
conditions have to satisfy special requirements.
A photodetector type satisfying these requirements is the v acuum phototriode
(VPT), which is a single-dynode photomultiplier tube with p roximity focusing
of photoelectrons. This makes it possible to operate in a str ong axial magnetic
field. Use of radiation-hard glass for VPT manufacturing mak es it also tolerant
to high doses of ionizing radiation. VPTs are already widely used in calorime-
try, for example in the detectors DELPHI [1,2] and OPAL [3] at LEP. They are
also planned for use in the end-cap PbWO calorimeter of the CM S detector
for LHC [4].
Another type of photodetector for calorimetry, the avalanc he photodiode (APD),
shows also excellent performance in strong magnetic field [5 ]. APDs have how-

Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprintever some drawbacks, such as a small active area and direct co unting of charged
particles which can make VPTs preferable in some cases.
Several years ago VPTs with the capability to work in magneti c fields up to
2.5 T [6] were developed in BINP; about 3500 devices of this ki nd operate
in the electromagnetic calorimeters of the SND [7], CMD-2 [8 ] and KEDR
[9] detectors. In 1999 a new low cost VPT was developed for ope ration in
strong magnetic field. In this paper the results of tests of th e new devices in a
magnetic fields up to 4.5 T are presented, and its performance compared with
that of similar photodetectors described in [10,11].
2 Phototriode parameters and experimental set-up
The VPTs were manufactured using conventional bulb technol ogy described
elsewhere in [6]. All VPT electrodes are connected to pins on its base. The
semitransparent bialkali photocathode was formed on the in ner surface of a
window glass S52-1 or S52-2 with transparency of more than 96 % in the wave-
length range from 300 to 900 nm. The quantum efficiency of the ph otocathode
in the maximum of spectral sensitivity measured with calibr ated light source
was about 20%.
The VPT performance in magnetic field depends on the anode mes h pitch.
The smaller the pitch, the larger fraction of secondary emis sion electrons from
the dynode is collected on the anode, but on the other hand a sm aller part of
accelerated photoelectrons reach the dynode. Prototypes w ith the anode mesh
pitch sof 250, 100, 50 and 16 µm were manufactured. The devices height is
40 mm, tube diameter is 25 mm, the photocathode spectral sens itive region is
from 360 to 600 nm, maximum of photocathode spectral sensiti vity is λmax=
420 nm, total photocathode sensitivity is 95 µA/lm, typical quantum efficiency
atλmaxis about 20%, dark current is less than 1 nA, gain without magn etic
field is 15 for s= 50µm and 10 for s= 16µm, anode mesh transparency is
60% for s= 50µm and 52% for s= 16µm.
The layout of the test system used to check the operation in hi gh magnetic
fields is shown in Fig.1. Measurements were performed using a charge sensitive
preamplifier with a sensitivity of 0.7 V/pC and a shaper with i ntegration and
differentiation time constants of 2 µs. Green LED with wavelength of about
520 nm was used as a source of light signals. A magnetic field wi th a strength
up to 4 .5T was produced by a superconducting solenoid. The VPT axis c ould
be tilted by up to 30 degrees with respect to the magnetic field direction.
The dependences of output signal on photocathode and dynode voltages at
zero magnetic field are shown in Figs.2,3. For further measur ements the pho-
2tocathode and dynode voltages were fixed to Uc=−1000V and Ud=−200V
respectively.
After absorption of high dose of radiation the input glass wi ndow may darken
thus decreasing the VPT sensitivity. The dependence of tran sparency of VPT
windows made of S52-1 and S52-2 glass on the radiation dose is shown in
Fig.4. The radiation harder S52-2 glass was chosen as a mater ial for the VPT
window.
3 VPT performance in magnetic field
The dependence of VPT output amplitude on the magnetic field s trength was
measured both illuminating the entire photocathode area, a nd its central part
(10mm in diameter). Fig.5 shows the dependences of the outpu t signal on
magnetic field for VPTs with different anode mesh pitches in ca se of illumina-
tion of entire photocathode. The amplitude drop at B= 4.0T varies from 70%
for tubes with s= 250 µm mesh to 30% for s= 16µm. The dependence for
s= 50µm and s= 16µm with illumination of the central part of photocathode
is shown in Fig.6. The output signal decreases by about 6% per tesla in a range
of field from 2.0 to 4.0T. The difference in amplitude drops for illumination of
the full photocathode area and of its central part can be expl ained by effec-
tive cut-off of the peripheral area of the photocathode in axi al magnetic fields.
Photoelectrons from this area, propagating along the magne tic field, cannot
reach the dynode which due to manufacture constraints has sm aller diameter.
The dependence of the output amplitude on α, the angle between the magnetic
field and the tube axis, is shown in Fig.7. The initial amplitu de increase by ∼
15% with αcan be attributed to the increase of the secondary electron e mission
coefficient on the dynode for larger impact angles of the photo electrons. At
larger tilt angles another effect, the decrease of anode mesh transparency for
photoelectrons, apparently becomes dominant. The amplitu de dependence for
mesh pitch s= 50µm and α= 30◦on the magnetic field strength is shown in
Fig.8.
The tests demonstrate that the VPTs with 16 µm anode mesh are the best
for operation in strong magnetic field. The output signal dec reases by less
than 30% at 4.0 T, for a angles between the tube axis and the fiel d up to
40◦. Recently, the results of the RIE VPTs (diameter of 25 mm) tes ts in a
magnetic field were presented in Ref.[11]. The output amplit ude of the device
making use of a fine mesh with 100 lines per mm decreases by abou t 40% at
4T and α= 0◦. As reported in Ref.[10], in commercial Hamamatsu 25 mm
vacuum phototetrodes the output signal amplitude decrease by about 70% in
the same conditions.
34 Conclusions
We describe the development of prototypes of compact vacuum phototriodes
with quantum efficiency of ∼20% and gain 10 ÷15 for operation in strong
magnetic field. Their performance in the fields up to 4.5 T was t ested. It was
found that the decrease of output amplitude is about 6% per te sla in the
magnetic field range from 2.0 to 4.0 T. For VPT with anode mesh p itch of
16µm the output amplitude at 4.0 T is 30% less than that without ma gnetic
field.

arXiv:physics/0102084v1 [physics.class-ph] 26 Feb 2001True energy-momentum tensors are unique.
Electrodynamics spin tensor is not zero
R. I. Khrapko1
In the electrodynamics the variational principle results i n a pair of the canonical tensors: the energy-
momentum tensor Tcikand the spin tensor Υcikj(upsilon)
Tcik=−∂iAl·Fkl+gikFpqFpq/4,Υcikj=−2A[iFk]j.
However, they contradict experience. It is obvious in view o f a asymmetry of the energy-
momentum tensor, and it is checked up directly. For example, in a constant uniform magnetic
fieldBx=B,B y=Bz= 0,
Fyz=Fyz=−B, A y=Bz/2, A z=−By/2,
the energy-momentum tensor gives zero value of a field pressu re across field lines: Tyy=Tzz= 0,
what is wrong. The canonical energy-momentum tensor does no t satisfy the conservation equation,
and its divergence is equal to a wrong expression −∂iAk·jk, but not to −Fikjk:
∂kTcik=−∂iAk·jk
.
The true energy-momentum tensor in the electrodynamics is t he Minkowski tensor.
Tik=−FilFk
l+gikFlmFlm/4.
Only this tensor satisfies experiments. Only this tensor loc alizes energy-momentum. But, as appear,
a true spin tensor in electrodynamics is unknown,
Υikj= ?
True definitions of energy-momentum and spin tensors do not a dmit any arbitrariness because
the trasvections of the tensors and an 3-element dVkare observable quantities: an infinitesimal
4-momentum dPiand 4-spin dSik:
dPi=TikdVk, dSik= ΥikjdVj
The well-known attempt to correct the canonical energy-mom entum tensor by subtraction the
Rosenfeld’s pair,
(T
Rik,Υ
Rikj) = (∂jΥc{ikj}/2,Υcikj),Υ{ikj}= Υikj−Υkji+ Υjik,
from the canonical pair of tensors does not lead to the Minkow ski tensor merely because the Rosen-
feld’s identity is obviously wrong:
Tcik−T
Rik=Tcik−∂jΥc{ikj}/2 =Tik−Aijk/negationslash=Tik.

1But the subtraction leads to an elimination of the electrody namics spin tensor:
Υcikj−Υcikj= 0.
Meanwhile, the subtraction is inadmissible on principle be cause an addition of any construction,
including, for example, ˜Tik=∂lψikl, ψi(kl)= 0, to an energy-momentum tensor of concrete matter
corresponds to a local change of matter. And what is more, the addition of ∂lψiklcan change the
total 4-momentum and angular 4-momentum of a system. For exa mple, it is easy to express the
energy-momentum tensor of an uniform ball of radius Rin the form ˜Tik=∂lψikl:
ψ00α=−ψ0α0=ǫxα/3 (r<R ), ψ00α=−ψ0α0=ǫR3xα/3r3(r>R )
give ˜T00=−ǫ(r<R ),˜T00= 0 (r>R ), α= 1,2,3.
Obviously, an addition of this construction changes the tot al 4-momentum.
Nevertheless, the authors of all textbooks on the theory of fi elds repeat the same mistake. As an
example I quote here from Landau and Lifshitz [1] using our no tations.
“It is necessary to point out that the definition of the (energ y-momentum) tensor Tikis not
unique. in fact, if Tikis defined by
Tk
i=q,i·∂Λ
∂q,k−δk
iΛ, (32.3)
then any other tensor of the form
Tik+∂
∂xlψikl, ψijk=−ψikj, (32.7)
will also satisfy equation
∂Tik/∂xk= 0, (32.4)
since we have identically ∂2ψikl/∂xk∂xl= 0. The total four-momentum of the system does not
change, since... we can write
/integraldisplay∂ψikl
∂xldVk=1

were the integral on the right side of the equation is extende d over the (ordinary) surface which
‘bond’ the hypersurface over which the integration on the le ft is taken. This surface is clearly located
at infinity in the three-dimensional space, and since neithe r field nor particles are present at infinity
this integral is zero. Thus the fore-momentum of the system i s, as it must be, a uniquely determined
quantity.”
But it seems to be incorrect./contintegraltextψikldakl= 0,only ifψikldecreases on infinity rather quickly. I
present a three-dimensional analogy concerning an electri c currentIand its magnetic field Hαβ:
/integraldisplay

Varying the electrodynamics action integral with respect t o a metric tensor in the Minkowski
space, one can obtain the Minkowski energy-momentum tensor which is called the metric energy-
momentum tensor. But, in our opinion, it is a happy accident, because it is impossible to obtain, for
2example, a spin tensor by varying an action integral with res pect to a torsion or contortion tensor.
It cannot be done either for electromagnetic field or for a fiel d which obviously has spin in the
Minkowski space. It is a consequence of the fact, that the tor sion and contortion tensors are equal
to zero in Minkowski space and even in a Riemann space (unlike gik). As appear, the variational
principle is not capable to give a true spin tensor in a Rieman n space.
So we are not sure, that varying an action integral in U4space (with a torsion) one can obtain
true energy-momentum and spin tensors as it is affirmed, for ex ample, in [2]. In any case it is obvious
that a metric (symmetric) and a canonical energy-momentum t ensors will be essentially different.
In electrodynamics the elimination of spin tensor leads to a strange opinion that a circularly
polarized plane wave with infinite extent can have no angular momentum [3], that only a quasiplane
wave of finite transverse extend carries an angular momentum whose direction is along the direction
of propagation. This angular momentum is provided by an oute r region of the wave within which
the amplitudes of the electric Eand magnetic Bfields are decreasing. These fields have components
parallel to wave vector there, and the energy flow has compone nts perpendicular to the wave vector.
“This angular momentum is the spin of the wave” [4]. Within an inner region the EandBfields are
perpendicular to the wave vector, and the energy-momentum fl ow is parallel to the wave vector [5].
But let us suppose now that a circularly polarized beam is abs orbed by a round flat target which
is divided concentrically into outer and inner parts. Accor ding to the previous reasoning, the inner
part of the target will not perceive a torque. Nevertheless R . Feynman [6] clearly showed how a
circularly polarized plane wave transfers a torque to an abs orbing medium. What is true? And if R.
Feynman is right, how one can express the torque in terms of po ndermotive forces?
From our point of view, classical electrodynamics is not com plete. The task is to discover the
nonzero spin tensor of electromagnetic field.

Abstract. The usefulness of study of hyperfine splitting in the hydroge n atom is
limited on a level of 10 ppm by our knowledge of the proton stru cture. One way to
go beyond 10 ppm is to study a specific difference of the hyperfin e structure intervals
8∆ν2−∆ν1. Nuclear effects for are not important this difference and it i s of use to
study higher-order QED corrections.
1 Introduction
The hyperfine splitting of the ground state of the hydrogen at om has been for a
while one of the most precisely known physical quantities, h owever, its use for
tests of QED theory is limited by a lack of our knowledge of the proton structure.
The theoretical uncertainty due to that is on a level of 10 ppm . To go farther
with theory we need to eliminate the influence of the nucleus. A few ways have
been used (see e. g. [1]):
•to remove the proton from the hydrogen atom and to study a two- body
system, which is like hydrogen, but without any nuclear stru cture, namely:
muonium [2] or positronium [3];
•to compare the hyperfine structure intervals of the 1 sand 2sstates (this
work);
•to measure the hyperfine splitting in muonic hydrogen and to c ompare it
with the one in a normal hydrogen atom (a status report on the n= 2
muonic hydrogen project is presented in Ref. [4]; compariso n of the 1sand
2shfs and possibility to measure 1 shfs is considered in Ref. [5].
Recently there has been considerable progress in measureme nt and calculation
of the hyperfine splitting of the ground state and the 2 s1/2state in the hydrogen
atom. The 2 s1/2hyperfine splitting in hydrogen was determined to be [6]
∆ν2(H) = 177 556 .785(29) kHz , (1)
While less accurate than the classic determination of the gr ound state hyperfine
splitting, the combination of 1s and 2s hfsintervals
D21(H) = 8∆ν2−∆ν1. (2)
⋆E-mail: sek@mpq.mpg.de2 Savely G. Karshenboim
which is determined in the hydrogen atom [6] as
D21(H) = 48.528(232) kHz ,
has more implications for tests of bound state QED because th ere is significantly
less dependence on the poorly understood proton structure c ontributions. Specif-
ically, the theoretical uncertainty for the ground state fr om the proton structure
is about 10 kHz, while the uncertainty for the combination is estimated to be
few Hz.
On the theoretical front, there has been considerable progr ess in the calcula-
tion of the ground state hyperfine splitting. Taken together with earlier calcula-
tions ofD21[14,15], which were possible because of cancellations of a n umber of
large terms, one can now give quite accurate values for ∆ν1and∆ν2, We collect
in Tables 1 and 2 along with the hydrogen results, the known ex perimental and
theoretical results for the deuterium atom and the3He+ion. The helium results
[7]
∆ν1(3He+) = 8665 649 .867(10) kHz (3)
and [8]
∆ν2(3He+) = 1083 354 .969(30) kHz (4)
lead to the most accurate value for the difference
D21(3He+) = 1 189.979(71) kHz . (5)

To present results for the 2 sstate, we can use the results of Ref. [14] for D21,
which however include terms only up to order α(Zα)2EF. After we recalculated

Inaccuracy arisen from uncertainties in the form factors GEand/tildewideGM, which are
both normalized to unity at zero momentum, and from the lack o f knowledge of
polarization effects, is large as about 10 ppm or 4 ppm respect ively, but those
leading terms are state-independent and do not contribute i nto the the difference

Some progress was achieved before we started our work. In par ticular, we
need to mention two results:
•Integrals, used for in Ref. [14], were evaluated later by P. M ohr1with higher
accuracy and the constant was found to be -5.2212 instead of - 5.37(6). The
theoretical prediction based on Eq. (19) but with a correcte d value of the
contstant is Table 1 as “old theory”.
•Some nuclear-structure- and state-dependent corrections were found [23] for
arbitrarynS.
3.2 Our results
The similar difference has been under investigation also for the Lamb shift and a
number of useful auxiliary expressions have been found for c alculating the state
dependent corrections to the Lamb shift [24].
Let us mention that an improvement in the accuracy and new res ult on higher
nhfs can be expected with progress in optical measurements an d we present here
a progress also for higher n, definingDn1=n3∆νn−∆ν1.

4 Present status
To calculate the corrections presented in the previous sect ions, we have used
an effective non-relativistic theory. In particular we have studied two kinds of
terms. One is a result of the second order perturbation theor y with two δ(r)-
like potentials, evaluated in the leading non-relativisti c approximation, while
the other is due to a more accurate calculation of a single del ta-like poten-
tial. Both kinds contribute into the state-independent lea ding logarithmic cor-
rections (α2(Zα)2ln2(Zα),α(Zα)2(m/M)ln2(Zα), andα(Zα)3ln(Zα)) and to
next-to-leading state-dependent terms ( α2(Zα)2ln(Zα),α(Zα)2(m/M)ln(Zα),
andα(Zα)3). The crucial question is if we found all corrections in thes e orders.
Rederiving a leading term in order α(Zα)2ln(Zα) within our technics, we can
easily incorporate the anomalous magnetic moment of the ele ctron in the cal-
culation and restore the nuclear mass dependence. Since we r eproduce the well-
known result for the α(Zα)2ln(Zα) term, we consider that as a confirmation of
two other logarithmic corrections found by us. In the case of α(Zα)3it might
be a contribution of an effective operator, proportional to ( ∆/m)δ(r). That can
give no logarithmic corrections, but leads to a state-depen dent constant. We are
now studying this possibility.
Summarizing all corrections, the final QED result is found to be:

Numerical results (in kHz) for hydrogen and deuterium atoms and the helium-
3 ion are collected in Table 2. One can see that the new correct ions essentially
shift the theoretical predictions. A comparison of the QED p redictions (in kHz)
against the experiments is summarized in Table 1. We take the values of the
fundamental constants (like e. g. the fine structure constan tα) from the recent
adjustment (see Ref. [25]).

An important point is that the difference is sensitive to 4th o rder corrections
and so is competitive with the muonium hfsas a test of the QED. The difference
between the QED part of the theory and the experiment is an ind ication of
higher-order corrections due to the QED and the nuclear stru cture, which have
to be studied in detail. In particular, we have to mention tha t while we expect
that we have a complete result on logarithmic corrections an d on the vacuum-2s Hyperfine Structure in Hydrogen and Helium 9
polarization part of the α(Zα)3term we anticipate more contributions in the
orderα(Zα)3due to the self-energy. A complete study of this term offers a
possibility to determine the magnetic radius of the proton, deuteron and helion-

arXiv:physics/0102086v1 [physics.gen-ph] 26 Feb 2001NEW HIERARCHIC THEORY OF CONDENSED
MATTER AND ITS COMPUTERIZED
APPLICATION
TO WATER & ICE
Alex Kaivarainen
H2o@karelia.ru
URL: http://www.karelia.ru/˜alexk
This work contains review of original quantum Hierarchic th eory of con-
densed matter, general for liquids and solids and its numero us branches. Com-
puter program (copyright, 1997, Kaivarainen), based on new theory, was used
for comprehensive simulations of water and ice physical pro perties.
Condensed matter is considered as gas of 3D standing waves (c ollective ex-
citations) of different nature: thermal de Broglie waves (wa ves B), IR photons
and thermal phonons. Quantitative interrelation between m icroscopic, meso-
scopic (as intermediate) and macroscopic properties of con densed matter are
demonstrated. New theories of total internal energy, inclu ding contributions of
kinetic and potential energy, heat capacity, surface tensi on, vapor pressure, ther-
mal conductivity, viscosity and self-diffusion are describ ed. Hierarchic theory
of osmotic pressure, based on new state equation, new theori es of light refrac-
tion, Brillouin light scattering and M¨ ossbauer effect are p resented also in article
and compared with available experimental data for water and ice. Lot of hid-
den parameters, inaccessible for experiment, describing t he dynamic and spatial
properties of 24 quantum collective excitations of matter, can be calculated also,
as demonstrated on examples of water and ice.
Total number of physical parameters of liquids and solids in wide T-interval,
including that of phase transitions, to be possible to evalu ate using CAMP
computer program, is about 300.
The agreement between theoretical and available experimen tal results is very
good. The evidence of high-T mesoscopic molecular Bose cond ensation (BC)
in water and ice in form of coherent clusters is obtained. The new mecha-
nisms of the 1st and 2nd order phase transitions, related to s uch clusters forma-
tion/melting, their assembly/disassembly and symmetry ch ange is proposed.
Theory unifies dynamics and thermodynamics on microscopic, mesoscopic
and macroscopic scales in terms of quantum physics. The idea of new optoa-
coustic device: Comprehensive Analyzer of Matter Properti es (CAMP) with
huge informational possibilities, based on computer progr am, elaborated and
its multisided applications are described. This work may be considered as a
theoretical part of MANUEL to CAMP - program. The computer pr ogram
(CAMP) is applicable for any condensed matter, if primary fo ur experimen-
tal parameters are known in the same T-interval. It may be ord ered from the
author.

41. INTRODUCTION
A quantum and quantitative theory of liquid state, as well as a general
theory of condensed matter, was absent till now. This fundam ental problem
is crucial for different brunches of science and technology. The existing solid
states theories did not allow to extrapolate them successfu lly to liquids.
Widely used molecular dynamics method is based on classical approach and
corresponding computer simulations. It cannot be consider ed as a general one.
The understanding of hierarchic organization of matter and developing of gen-
eral theory needs a mesoscopic bridge between microscopic a nd macroscopic
physics, between liquids and solids.
The biggest part of molecules of solids and liquids did not fo llow classical
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. This means that only quan tum approach is
valid for elaboration of general theory of condensed matter .
Our theoretical study of water and aqueous systems was initiated in
1986. It was stimulated by necessity to explain the nontrivi al phenomena,
obtained by different physical methods in our investigation s of water-protein
solutions. For example, the temperature anomalies in water physical proper-
ties, correlating with changes in large scale protein dynam ics were found in our
group by specially elaborated experimental approaches (Ka ivarainen, 1985). It
becomes evident, that the water clusters and water hierarch ical cooperative
properties are dominating factors in self-organization, f unction and evolution
of biosystems. The living organisms are strongly dependent on water proper-
ties, representing about 70% of the body mass. On the other ha nd, due to
its numerous anomalies, water is an ideal system for testing a new theory of
condensed matter. If the theory works well with respect to wa ter and ice, it is
very probable, that it is valid for other liquids, glasses or crystals as well. For
this reason we have made the quantitative verification of our hierarchic concept
(Kaivarainen, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1996, 2000) on examples of w ater and ice.
Our theory considers two main types of molecular heat motion :translational
(tr)andlibrational (lb) anharmonic oscillations, which are characterized by cer-
tain distributions in three- dimensional (3D) impulse spac e. The most probable
impulse or momentum (p) determine the most probable de Broglie wave (wave
B) length ( λB=h/p=vph/νB) and phase velocity ( vph). Conformational in-
tramolecular dynamics is taken into account indirectly, as far it has an influence
on the intermolecular dynamics and parameters of waves B in c ondensed matter.
Solids and liquids are considered as a hierarchical system o f collective excita-
tions - metastable quasiparticles of the four new type: effectons, transitons,
convertons and deformons, strongly interrelated with each other.
When the length of standing waves B of molecules exceed the di stances be-
tween them, then the coherent molecular clusters may appear as a result of high
temperature molecular Bose-condensation (BC). The possib ility of BC in liquids
and solids at the ambient temperatures is one of the most impo rtant results of
our model, confirmed by computer simulations. Such BC is meso scopic one, in
contrast to macroscopic BC, responsible for superfluidity a nd superconductiv-
ity. The value of the standing wave B length, which determine the edges of the
primary effecton (tr or lb) in selected directions (1,2,3) ma y be considered as a
mesoscopic parameter of order .
The primary transitons andconvertons have common features with coherent
dissipative structures introduced by Chatzidimitrov-Dreisman and Br¨ andas in
51988. Such structures were predicted on the background of co mplex scaling
method and Prigogin theory of star- unitary transformation s.
Estimated from principle of uncertainty, the minimum boson ’s ”degrees of
freedom”( nmin) in these spontaneous coherent structures are equal to:
nmin≥τ(2πkBT/h) (1.1)
where τis relaxation time of coherent-dissipative structures.
If, for example, τ≃10−12c, corresponding to excitation of a molecular sys-
tem by infrared photon, then at T= 300 Kone get nmin≃250. It means
that at least 250 degrees of freedom, i.e. [250 /6] molecules, able to translations
and librations act coherently and produce a photon absorption/emission phe-
nomenon. The traditional consideration of an oscillating i ndividual molecule as
a source of photons is replaced by the notion of a correlation pattern in such a
model.
The interaction between atoms and molecules in condensed ma tter is much
stronger and thermal mobility/impulse much lesser, than in gas phase. It means
that the temperature of Bose condensation can be much higher in solids and
liquids than in the gas phase. The lesser is interaction between molecules
or atoms the lower temperature is necessary for initiation o f Bose
condensation.
This is confirmed in 1995 by Ketterle’s group in MIT and later b y few
other groups, showing the Bose-Einstein condensation in ga s of neutral atoms,
like sodium (MIT), rubidium (JILA) and lithium (Rice Univer sity) at very low
temperatures, less than one Kelvin. However, at this temper atures the number
of atoms in the primary effectons (Bose condensate) was about 20,000 and the
dimensions were almost macroscopic: about 15 micrometers.
For comparison, the number of water molecules in primary lib rational effec-
ton (coherent cluster), resulting from mesoscopic BC at fre ezing point 2730K
is only 280 and the edge length about 20 ˚A (see Fig. 7).
OurHierarchic theory of matter unites and extends strongly two earlier
existing most general models of solid state (Ashkroft and Me rmin, 1976):
a) the Einstein model of condensed matter as a system of indep endent quan-
tum oscillators;
b) the Debye model, taking into account only collective phen omena - phonons
in a solid body as in continuous medium.
Among earlier models of liquid state the model of flickering c lusters by Frank
and Wen (1957) is closest of all to our model. In our days the qu antum field
theoretical approach to description of biosystems with som e ideas, close to our
ones has been developed intensively by Umesawa’s group (Ume zawa, et. al.,
1982; Umezawa, 1993) and Italian group (Del Giudice, et al., 1983; 1988, 1989).
Arani et al. introduced at 1998 the notion of Coherence Domai ns (CD),
where molecules are orchestrated by the internal electroma gnetic waves (IR
photons) of matter [13]. This idea is close to our notion of co llective excita-
tions of condensed matter in the volumes of 3D translational and librational IR
photons, termed primary electromagnetic deformons (see ne xt section).
The new physical ideas required a new terminology . It is a reason
why one can feel certain discomfort at the beginning of readi ng this work. To
6facilitate this process, we present below a description of a new quasiparticles,
notions and terms, introduced in our Hierarchic Theory of ma tter (see Table
1). Most of notions and properties, presented below are not p ostulated, but a
results of our computer simulations.
2. THE NEW EXCITATIONS, INTRODUCED IN HIERARCHIC
THEORY OF MATTER AND THEIR PROPERTIES
The Most Probable (primary) de Broglie Wave (wave B)
The main dynamics of particles in condensed matter (liquid o r solid) repre-
sents thermal anharmonic oscillations of two types: translational (tr) and libra-
tional (lb). The corresponding length of the most probable wave B of molecule
or atom of condensed matter can be estimated by two following ways:
[λ1,2,3=h/mv1,2,3
gr=v1,2,3
ph/ν1,2,3
B]tr,lb (2.1)
where the most probable impulse (momentum): p1,2,3=mv1,2,3
gris equal to
product of the particle mass (m) and most probable group velo city (v1,2,3
gr). We
prefer to use term impulse , instead momentum, for the end not to confuse the
latter notion with momentum of impulse, defined as:
mv1,2,3
grλ1,2,3=h (2.1a)
The length of wave B could be evaluated, as the ratio of Plank c onstant to im-
pulse and as the ration of most probable phase velocity ( v1,2,3
ph)tr,lbto most prob-
able frequency ( ν1,2,3
B)tr,lb. The indices (1,2,3) correspond to selected directions
of motion in 3D space, related to the main axes of the molecule s symmetry and
their tensor of polarizability. In the case when molecular m otion is anisotropic
one, we have:
λ1/ne}ationslash=λ2/ne}ationslash=λ3 (2.2)
It is demonstrated in our work, using Virial theorem (see eqs . 4.10 - 4.14),
that due to anharmonicity of oscillations - the most probabl e kinetic energy of
molecules ( Tkin)tr, lbis lesser than potential one ( V)tr, lb:
(mv2/2)<(kT/2)
where most probable (mean) velocity of particle of matter is equal to corre-
sponding group velocity ( v=vgr). Consequently, the most probable 3D wave
B length is big enough:
/parenleftbiggV0
N0/parenrightbigg1/3
< λ1,2,3> h/(mkBT)1/2(2.2a)
It is a condition of mesoscopic molecular Bose condensation (BC).
The Most Probable (Primary) Effectons (tr and lb)
7A new type of quasiparticles (excitations), introduced as 3 D superposition of
three most probable pairs of standing waves B of molecules, a re termed primary
effectons . The shape of primary effectons in a general case can be approx imated
by parallelepiped, with the length of edges determined by 3 m ost probable
standing waves B. The volume of primary effectons is equal to:
Vef= (9/4π)λ1λ2λ3. (2.3)
The number of molecules or atoms forming effectons is:
nm= (Vef)/(V0/N0), (2.4)
where V0andN0are molar volume and Avogadro number, correspondingly.
Thenmincreases, when temperature is decreasing and may be about h undreds
in liquids or even thousands in solids, as shown in our work.
In liquids, primary effectons may be registered as a clusters and in solids as
domains or microcrystalline.
The thermal oscillations in the volume of corresponding effe ctons are syn-
chronized. It means the coherence of the most probable wave B of molecules
and their wave functions. We consider the primary effectons as a result of
partial Bose condensation of molecules of condensed matter. Primary effec-
tons correspond to the main state of Bose-condensate with th e packing number
np= 0, i.e. with the resulting impulse equal to zero.
Primary effectons (librational in liquids and librational a nd translational in
solids), as a coherent clusters, represent self-organizat ion of condensed matter
on mesoscopic level, like I. Prigogin dissipative structur es. However, revealed in
our work mesoscopic high - T Bose condensation, is a quantum p henomenon. It
is important to note, that the coherent oscillations of mole cules in the volume of
the effectons can not be considered as phonons (acoustic waves) , because they
are not accompanied by fluctuation of density in contrast to s econdary deformons
(see below).
”Acoustic” (a) and ”Optical” (b) States of Primary Effectons
The ”acoustic” a-state of the effectons is such a dynamic state when molecules
or other particles composing the effectons, oscillate in the same phase (i.e. with-
out changing the distance between them). The ”optic” b-state of the effectons
is such dynamic state when particles oscillate in the counte rphase manner (i.e.
with periodical change of the distance between particles). This state of primary
effectons has a common features with Fr¨ olich’s mode.
It is assumed in our model, that kinetic energies of ”acousti c” (a) and ”opti-
cal” (b) modes are equal [ Ta
kin=Tb
kin] in contrast to potential energies [ Va< Vb].
It means that the most probable impulses in ( a) and ( b) states and, conse-
quently, the wave B length and spatial dimensions of the effectons in the
both states are equal ([λ1,2,3]a= [λ1,2,3]b).The energy of intermolecular
interaction (Van der Waals, Coulomb, hydrogen bonds etc.) i na-state are big-
ger than that in b-state. Consequently, the molecular polarizability in a-state
also is bigger than in b-state. It means that dielectric properties of matter may
change as a result of shift of the ( a⇔b)1,2,3
tr,lbequilibrium of the effectons.
8Primary Transitons (tr and lb)
Primary transitons represent intermediate transition states between ( a) and
(b) modes of primary effectons - translational and librational . Primary tran-
sitons (tr and lb) - are radiating or absorbing IR photons cor responding to
translational and librational bands in oscillatory spectr a. Such quantum tran-
sitions are not accompanied by the fluctuation of density but with the change
of polarizability and dipole moment of molecules only. The v olumes of primary
transitons and primary effectons coincides (see Table 1).
Primary Electromagnetic and Primary Acoustic Deformons (t r, lb)
Electromagnetic primary deformons are a new type of quasipa rticles (excita-
tions) representing a 3 Dsuperposition of three standing electromagnetic waves.
The IR photons (tr, lb) are radiated and absorbed as a result o f (a⇔b)1,2,3
tr,lb
transitions of primary effectons, i.e. corresponding prima ry transitons. Elec-
tromagnetic deformons appear as a result of superposition o f 3 standing IR
photons, penetrating in matter in different selected direct ions (1,2,3). We as-
sume, that each of 3 pairs of counter-phase photons form a sta nding wave in
the volume of condensed matter.
The linear dimension of each of three edges of primary deform on is deter-
mined by the wave length of three standing IR photons, superp osing in the same
space volume:
λ1,2,3= [(n˜ν)−1]1,2,3
tr,lb(2.5)
where: nis the refraction index and (˜ ν)tr,lb- the wave number of transla-
tional or librational band. These quasiparticles as the big gest ones, are respon-
sible for the long-range (distant) space-time correlation in liquids and solids.
In the case when ( b→a)tr,lbtransitions of primary effectons are accompa-
nied by big fluctuation of density (like cavitational fluctua tion in liquid or defect
formation in solid), they may be followed by emission of phon ons instead of pho-
tons. It happens, when primary effectons are involved in the v olume of macro-
and supereffectons (see below). Primary acoustic deformons may originate or
annihilate in such a way. However, the probability of collec tive spontaneous
emission of photons during ( b→a)tr,lbtransition of primary effectons is much
higher than that of phonons, related to similar transition o f macroeffectons (see
below), as it leads from our theory.
The coherent electromagnetic radiation as a result of self- correlation of
many dipole moments in composition of coherent cluster, lik e primary effectons,
containing N≫1 molecules is already known as superradiance (Dicke, 1954).
The time of collective transition in the case of superradian ce is less than that
of isolated molecule and intensity of superradiance (I∼N·hν/τ∼N2)is
much bigger than that from the same number of independent mol ecules (I∼
N·hν/T1∼N).The ( b→a) transition time of the primary effectons has
the reverse dependence on the N(τ∼1/N).The relaxation time for isolated
atoms or molecules ( T1) is independent on N. The main energy is radiated in
the direction of most elongated volume, i.e. ends of tubes.
9Secondary effectons (tr and lb)
In contrast to primary effectons, this type of quasiparticle s isconventional .
They are the result of averaging of the frequencies and energ ies of the ”acoustic”
(a) and ”optical” ( b) states of effectons with packing numbers nP>0, having
the resulting impulse more than zero. For averaging the ener gies of such states
the Bose-Einstein distribution was used under the conditio n when T < T 0(T0
is temperature of degeneration and, simultaneously, tempe rature of first order
phase transition). Under this condition the chemical poten tial:µ= 0 and
distribution has a form of Plank equation.
Secondary effectons (tr and lb)
In contrast to primary effectons, the ”acoustic” ( a) and ”optical” ( b) states
of secondary (mean) effectons are the result of averaging the energies of the
effectons with packing numbers nP>0, having the resulting impulse different
from zero. For this averaging the Bose-Einstein distributi on was used under
the condition: T < T 0(T0is temperature of degeneration for mesoscopic
Bose condensation (BC), equal to temperature of first order p hase transition).
Under this condition it is assumed, that the chemical potent ial:µ≃0 and
Bose-Einstein distribution has a form of Plank equation [4] .
Secondary transitons (tr and lb)
Secondary transitons, like primary ones are intermediate t ransition state be-
tween ( a) and ( ¯b) states of secondary effecton - translational and libration al. As
well as secondary effectons, these quasiparticles are condi tional, i.e. a result of
averaging. It is assumed that the volumes of secondary trans itons and secondary
effectons coincide. The ( ¯ a⇔¯b)tr,lbtransition states of secondary effectons, in
contrast to that of primary effectons, are accompanied by the fluctuation of
density. Secondary transitons are responsible for radiati on and absorption of
phonons.
Secondary ”acoustic” deformons (tr and lb)
This type of quasiparticles is also conditional as a result o f 3D superposi-
tion of averaged thermal phonons. These conventional phono ns originate and
annihilate in a process of ( ¯ a⇔¯b)1,2,3thermoactivated transitions of secondary
conventional effectons. These states correspond to transla tional and librational
transitons.
Convertons (tr⇔lb)
These important excitations are introduced in our model as a reversible
transitions between translational and librational primar y effectons. The (acon)
convertons correspond to transitions between the ( atr⇋alb) states of these
effectons and (bcon) convertons - to that between their ( btr⇋blb) states. As
10far as the dimensions of translational primary effectons are much less than libra-
tional ones, the convertons could be considered as [dissociation ⇋association] of
the primary librational effectons (coherent clusters). Bot h of convertons, ( acon)
and (bcon), are accompanied by density fluctuation, inducing phonons with cor-
responding frequency in the surrounding medium. All kinds o f Convertons may
be termed ’flickering’ clusters.
The ca- and cb- deformons, induced by convertons
Three-dimensional (3D) superposition of phonons, irradiated by t wo types
of convertons, acon andbcon, represents in our model the acoustic ca- and
cb-deformons. They have properties similar to that of secondary deformons,
discussed above.
The c-Macrotransitons (Macroconvertons) and c-Macrodefo rmons
Simultaneous excitation of the aconandbcontypes of convertons in the vol-
ume of primary librational effectons leads to origination of big fluctuations, like
cavitational ones, termed c-Macrotransitons or Macroconvertons. In turn, cor-
responding density fluctuations induce in surrounding medi um high frequency
thermal phonons. The 3D-superposition these standing phon ons forms c- Macrode-
formons.
Macroeffectons (tr and lb)
Macroeffectons (A and B) are collective simultaneous excitations of the pri-
mary and secondary effectons in the [ A∼(a,¯a)]tr,lband [B∼(b,¯b)]tr,lbstates
in the volume of primary electromagnetic translational and librational defor-
mons, respectively. This correlation of primary and second ary states results in
significant deviations from thermal equilibrium. The A and B states of macroef-
fectons (tr and lb) may be considered as the most probable vol ume-orchestrated
(correlated) thermal fluctuations of condensed matter.
Macrodeformons or Macrotransitons (tr and lb)
This type of conventional quasiparticles is considered in o ur model as an
intermediate transition state of macroeffectons. The ( A→B)tr,lband (B→
A)tr,lbtransitions are represented by the coherent transitions of primary and sec-
ondary effectons in the volume of primary electromagnetic deformons - transla-
tional and librational. The ( A→B)tr,lbtransition of macroeffecton is accompa-
nied by simultaneous absorption of 3 pairs of photons and tha t of phonons in the
form of electromagnetic deformons. If ( B→A)tr,lbtransition occurs without
emission of photons, then all the energy of the excited B-sta te is transmitted to
the energy of fluctuation of density and entropy of Macroeffec ton as an isolated
mesosystem. It is a dissipative process: transition from th e more ordered struc-
ture of matter to the less one, termed Macrodeformons. The bi g fluctuations of
density during ( A⇔B)tr,lbtransitions of macroeffectons, i.e. macrodeformons
are responsible for the Rayleigh central component in Brill ouin spectra of light
11scattering [15]. Translational and librational macrodefo rmons are also related
to the corresponding types of viscosity and self-diffusion [ 16]. The volumes of
macrotransitons, equal to that of macrodeformons (tr or lb) and macroeffec-
tons, coincide with that of trorlb primary electromagnetic deformons,
correspondingly.
Supereffectons
This mixed type of conventional quasiparticles is composed of translational
and librational macroeffectons correlated in space and time in the volumes of
superimposed electromagnetic primary deformons (transla tional and librational
- simultaneously). Like macroeffectons, supereffectons may exist in the ground
(A∗
S) and excited ( B∗
S) states representing strong deviations from thermal equi-
librium state.
Superdeformons or Supertransitons
This collective excitations have the lowest probability as compared to other
quasiparticles of our model. Like macrodeformons, superde formons represent
the intermediate ( A∗
S⇔B∗
S) transition state of supereffectons. In the course
of these transitions the translational and librational mac roeffectons undergo
simultaneous
[(A⇔B)trand(A⇔B)lb] transitions
The (A∗
S→B∗
S) transition of supereffecton may be accompanied by the absor p-
tion of two electromagnetic deformons - translational and l ibrational simultane-
ously. The reverse ( B∗
S→A∗
S) relaxation may occur without photon radiation.
In this case the big cavitational fluctuation originates. Such a process plays
an important role in the processes of sublimation, evaporat ion and boiling.
The equilibrium dissociation constant of the reaction:
H2O⇋H++HO−(2.6)
should be related with equilibrium constant of supertransi tons: KB∗
S⇋A∗
S. The
A∗
S→B∗
Scavitational fluctuation of supereffectons can be accompani ed by the
activation of reversible dissociation of small fraction of water molecules.
In contrast to primary and secondary transitons and deformo ns,
the notions of [macro- and supertransitons] and [macro- and superde-
formons] coincide. Such types of transitons and deformons represent the dy-
namic processes in the same volumes of corresponding primar y electromagnetic
deformons.
Considering the transitions of all types of translational deformons (primary,
secondary and macrodeformons), one must keep in mind that th elibrational
type of modes remains the same. And vice versa, in case of libr ational defor-
mons, translational modes remain unchanged. Only the reali zation of a con-
vertons and supereffectons are accompanied by the interconv ersions between the
translational and librational modes, between translation al and librational effec-
tons.

and deformons in the same volume)(IV)
Each next level in the hierarchy of quasiparticles (I - IV) introduced in
our model, is based on unification of the properties of the pre vious ones. All
of these quasiparticles are constructed on the same physica l principles. Part of
them is a result of 3D - superposition of different types of sta nding waves: de
Broglie waves, IR electromagnetic photons and phonons.
Such a system in equilibrium state can be handled as a gas of
quasiparticles. As far each of the effecton’s types: [ tr] and [ lb], macroeffec-
tons [tr+lb] and supereffectons [ tr/lb] have two states (acoustic and optic) the
total number of excitations, as one can calculate from the ta ble above, is equal
to:
Nex=31
This classification reflects the duality of matter and field and represent their
self-organization and interplay on mesoscopic and macrosc opic levels.
Our hierarchical system includes a gradual transition from theOrder (pri-
mary effectons, transitons and deformons) to Disorder (macro- and superdefor-
mons). It is important, however, that in accordance with the model proposed,
this thermal Disorder is ”organized” by hierarchical superposition of definite
types of the ordered quantum excitations. It means that the fi nal dynamics
condensed matter only ”looks” as chaotic one. Our approach m akes it possible
to take into account the Hidden Order of Condensed Matter in f orm mesoscopic
Bose condensate and its dynamics for better understanding o f Disorder.
The long-distance correlation between quasiparticles is d etermined mainly
by the biggest ones - an electromagnetic primary deformons ,involving in its
volume a huge number of primary and secondary effectons. The v olume of
primary deformons [tr and lb] could be subdivided on two equa l parts, within
13the nodes of 3D standing IR electromagnetic waves. The big nu mber of the
effectons in each of these parts is equal also. The dynamics eff ectons is correlated
in such a way, that when one half of their quantity in the volum e of big primary
deformon undergo ( a→b)tr,lbtransitions, the other half of the effectons undergo
the opposite ( b→a)tr,lbtransition. These processes may compensate each other
due to exchange of IR photons and phonons in equilibrium cond itions.
The increasing or decreasing in the concentration of primar y deformons is
directly related to the shift of ( a⇔b)tr,lbequilibrium of the primary effectons
leftward or rightward, respectively. This shift, in turn, l eads also to correspond-
ing changes in the energies and concentrations of secondary effectons, deformons
and, consequently, to that of super- and macro-deformons. It means the ex-
isting of feedback reaction between subsystems of the effect ons and
deformons, necessary for long-range self-organization in macroscopic
volumes of condensed matter.
Table 1. Schematic representation of the 18 types of quasipar-
ticles of condensed matter as a hierarchical dynamic system , based
on the effectons, transitons and deformons. Total number of quasi-
particles , introduced in Hierarchic concept is 24. Six collective ex-
citations, related to convertons - interconversions between primary
14librational and translational effectons and their derivati ves are not
represented here for the end of simplicity.
The situation is possible when spontaneous oscillations be tween the sub-
systems of effectons and deformons are not accompanied by the change in the
total internal energy due to compensation effect . In such a way a long-period
macroscopic oscillations in liquids, revealed experiment ally (Chernicov, 1990a,
1990b), could be explained. Such kind of phenomena, related to equilib-
rium shift of two subsystems, could be responsible for long r elaxation
(memory) of water containing systems after different pertur bations
(like magnetic treatment, ultra high dilution, etc.) . The instability of
macrosystem arises from competition between discrete quantum andaveraged
thermal equilibrium types of energy distributions of coherent molecular clus-
ters, as it leads from our theoretical calculations.
The total internal energy of substance is determined by the c ontributions of
all types of quasiparticles with due regard for their own ene rgy, concentration
and probability of excitation. It leads from our simulation s, that contributions
ofsuper- andmacro effectons and corresponding super- andmacro deformons as
well as polyeffectons and coherent superclusters to the internal energy of matter
normally are small, due to their low probability of excitati on, big volume and,
consequently, low concentration.
Polyeffectons and superclusters are the result of primary eff ectons assembly
(one-dimensional, two- or three-dimensional), stabilize d by Josephson’s junc-
tions.
The sizes of primary effectons (translational and libration al) determine the
mesoscopic scale of the condensed matter organization. Dom ains, nods, crys-
tallites, observed in solid bodies, liquid crystals, polym ers and biopolymers are
the consequence of primary effectons and their association.
3. THE MAIN STATEMENTS AND BASIC FORMULAE OF
HIERARCHIC MODEL
As far the acoustic ( a) and optical ( b) thermal coherent modes of molecules
in composition of elementary cells or bigger clusters of the condensed matter
are anharmonic, the quantum a⇔btransitions (beats) with absorption and
radiation of phonons or photons can exist.
The number of acoustic and optical modes is the same and equal
to three (Kaivarainen, 1995), if oscillation of all p-atoms in the basis
are coherent in both optical and acoustic dynamic states. Remnant
modes are degenerated.
The states of system, minimizing the uncertainty relation, when:
[∆p·∆x∼/planckover2pi1and∆x=L∼/planckover2pi1/∆p]1,2,3(3.1)
are quantum coherent states .
15A system of the effectons could be considered as a partially de generate Bose-
gas. The degree of the degenerateness is proportional to the number of molecules
in the volume of primary effectons. Degeneration in liquids g rows up at lowering
temperature and make a jump up as a result of (liquid →solid) phase transition
as it leads from our theory and computer calculations.
It is known from the Bose-Einstein theory of condensation, d eveloped by
London (1938), that if the degeneration factor:
λ= exp( µ/kT) (3.2)
is close to λ≃1 at a low chemical potential value:
µ≪kT (3.2a)
then the contribution of bosons with the resulting impulse Pef≃0 (like
primary effectons) cannot be neglected, when calculating in ternal energy.
We assume in our theory that for all types of primary and secon dary effectons
of condensed matter (solids and liquids), the condition (3. 2a) is valid.
Partial Bose-Einstein condensation leads to the coherence of the waves B of
molecules and atoms forming primary effectons in the both: ac oustic (a) and
optic (b) states. Primary effectons are described with wave f unctions coherent
in the volume of an effecton.
In non ideal Bose-gas, despite the partial Bose-condensati on, the quasiparti-
cles exist with nonzero impulse, termed as secondary effectons. These effectons
obeys the Bose-Einstein statistics.
The sizes of primary effectons determine the mesoscopic scal e of the con-
densed matter organization. According to our model, the domains, nods,
crystallites, and clusters observed in solid bodies and in l iquid crys-
tals, polymers and biopolymers - can be a consequence of prim ary
translational or librational effectons.
Stabilization of molecules, atoms or ions in composition of coherent clus-
ters (effectons) and correlation between different effectons could be provided
by distant Van der Waals interaction and new Resonant Vibro-Gravitational
Interaction, introduced in our theory (see Section 10.4).
It leads from quantitative consequences of mesoscopic concept, that [gas
→liquid] phase transition is related with appearance the con ditions for par-
tial Bose-condensation, when the primary librational effec tons, containing more
than one molecule emerge (Kaivarainen, 1995, 1996). At the s ame time it means
the beginning of degeneration when the chemical potential µ→0. At this con-
dition wave B length, corresponding to librations, starts t o exceed the mean
distances between molecules in the liquid phase.
It means that the temperature, at which the phase transition [gas→liquid]
occurs, coincides with the temperature of partial Bose- con densation ( Tc),[i.e.
primary librational effectons formation] and degeneration temperature ( T0).
The changes of quasiparticles volume and shape in three dimensional
(3D) space are related to corresponding changes in the impul se space.
The total macroscopic Bose-condensation, in accordance wi th our model,
responds to conditions, when [ a⇔b] equilibrium of primary effectons strongly
shifts to the main (a)- state and (b)- state becomes thermall y inaccessible.
16At the same time the wave B length tends to macroscopic value. For quantum
systems at temperature (T) higher than degeneration temper ature T0(T > T 0),
when chemical potential ( µi=∂Gi/∂ni)<0 has a negative value, the mean
number of Bose-particles ( ni) in state (i) is determined by the Bose- Einstein
distribution:
ni={exp[(ǫi−µi)/kT]−1}−1(3.3)
where ǫiis the energy of the particle in state ( i). For ”normal” condensed
matter ǫi≫µ≪kT.
The Bose-Einstein statistics, in contrast to the Maxwell- B oltzmann statis-
tics, is applied to the indistinguishable Bose- particles w ith zero or integer spin
values. The Fermi-Dirac distribution is valid for systems o f indistinguishable
particles with a semi-integer spin obeying the Pauli princi ple.
In the case of condensed matter at the temperature:
0< T < [T0∼=Tc]
N∗particles of Bose condensate have a zero impulse (Ashkroft, Mermin, 1976):
N∗≃N[1−(T/T0)3/2] (3.4)
where N is the total number of particles in a system.
3.1. Parameters of individual de Broglie waves (waves B)
The known de Broglie relation expressing Wave-Particle Dua lity, has a simple
form:
− →p=/planckover2pi1− →k=h/− →λB
− →p=/planckover2pi1/− →LB=m− →vgr
where /vectork= 2π//vectorλ= 1//vectorLBis the wave number of wave B with length /vectorλ=
2π/vectorLB, /vector p is the impulse (momentum) of particle with mass ( m) and group
velocity ( vgr),/planckover2pi1=h/2πis the Plank constant.
Each particle can be represented as wave packet with group ve locity:
vgr=/parenleftbiggdωb
dk/parenrightbigg
0
and phase velocity:
vph=ωb
k(3.4a)
where: ωBis the angle frequency of wave B determining the total energy of the
waveB: (EB=/planckover2pi1ωB).
17Total energy is equal to the sum of kinetic ( Tk) and potential ( VB) energies
and is related to particle’s mass and product of phase and gro up velocities
(vgrvph) as follows (Grawford, 1973):
EB=/planckover2pi1ωB=Tk+VB=(/planckover2pi1k)2
2m+VB=mvgrvph (3.4b)
where (m) is particle mass; (c) is light velocity.
From 3.4a and 3.4b it is possible to get an important relation between phase
and group velocities of wave B and its kinetic, potential and total energy:
vph
vgr=Tk+VB
2Tk=EB
2Tk(3.4c)
3.2. Parameters of de Broglie waves of molecules in composit ion of condensed
matter
The formulae given below allow to calculate the frequencies of the corre-
sponding primary waves B in the directions 1,2,3 in aandbstates of primary
effectons (translational and librational) (Kaivarainen, 1 989, 1995, 1996):

where (c) is light velocity. For water the most probable freq uencies of photons,
corresponding to ( a⇔b)trtransitions of primary translational effectons are
determined by maxima with the wave numbers: /tildewideν(1)
p= 60cm−1;/tildewideν(2)
p=/tildewideν(3)
p=
190cm−1.
The band ˜ ν(1)
p= ˜ν(2)
p= ˜ν(3)
p= 700 cm−1corresponds to the ( a⇔b)lb
transitions of primary librational effectons. The degenera teness of frequencies
characterizes the isotropy of the given mobility type for mo lecules.
The distribution (3.5) coincides with the Plank formula, fo r the case when
frequency of a quantum oscillator is equal to the frequency o f photon and:
νp=npνp (3.8)
18where ¯ np= [exp( hνp/kT−1)]−1is the mean number of photons with the fre-
quency νp..
The transition a→bmeans that ¯npincreases by one
νb=νa+νp=nνp+νp=νp(n+ 1) (3.9)
The derivation of the formula (3.5) is based upon the assumpt ion that ( a⇔
b)1,2,3transitions are analogous to the beats in a system of two weak ly inter-
acting quantum oscillators.
In such a case the frequency ( ν1,2,3
p) of photons is equal to the difference
between the frequencies of waves B forming a primary effecton s in (b) and ( a)
states as a frequency of quantum beats (Grawford, 1973):

B) at such
consideration is equal to the ratio of wave B periods Ta,bor the inverse ratio of
wave B frequencies in these states:
(Ta/Tb)1,2,3= (νb/νa)1,2,3.
At the same time, the ratio of concentrations is determined w ith the Boltzmann
distribution. So, the formula is true:

In our model energies of quasiparticles in each state are thu s determined only
by the three selected coherent modes in directions (1,2,3). All remnant degrees
of freedom: (3 n−3), where nis the number of molecules forming effectons or
deformons, are degenerated due to their coherence.
19The mean packing numbers for ¯ aand¯bstates are thereby expressed with the

Finally, the averaged Hamiltonians of ( a,¯ a) and ( b,¯b) states of the system
containing primary and secondary effectons (translational and librational) have
such a form:

For calculations according to the formulae (2.59) and (2.60 ) it is necessary to

phand ¯va

3.3. Phase velocities of standing de Broglie waves, forming new types of
quasiparticles
In crystals three phonons with different phase velocities ca n propagate in
thedirection set by the longitudinal wave normal. In a general c ase, two quasi-
transversal waves ”fast” ( vf
⊥) and ”slow” ( vs
⊥) and one quasi-longitudinal ( v/bardbl)
wave propagate (Ashkroft and Mermin, 1976).
The propagation of transversal acoustic waves is known to be accompa-
nied by smaller deformations of the lattice than that of longitudinal waves,
when they are caused by external impulses. The thermal phonons, sponta-
neously originating and annihilating under conditions of h eat equilibrium may
be accompanied by even smaller perturbations of the structu re and could be
considered as transversal phonons.
Therefore, we assume, that in the absence of external impuls es in solid state:
vf
⊥≈vs
⊥=v1,2,3
phand the resulting thermal phonons velocity is determined as:
vres
s= (v(1)
⊥v(2)
⊥v(3)
⊥)1/3=vph (3.24)
21In liquids the resulting sound speed has an isotropic value:
vliq
s=vph.
According to our model, the resulting velocity of elastic wa ves in condensed me-
dia is related to the phase velocities of primary and seconda ry effectons in both
(acoustic and optic) states and that of deformons (translat ional and librational)
in the following way:
/bracketleftbigvs=fava

phare phase velocities of the most probable and mean
effectons in the ”acoustic” and ”optic” states; and

are phase velocities of primary and secondary acoustic defo rmons, equal to
phonons velocity.
Nevertheless, ( a→b)tr,lbor (b→a)tr,lbtransitions of primary effectons are
mainly related with absorption or emission of photons, the r ate of such process
(relaxation time) is limited by the rate of changing the mode of oscillations in
(a) and ( b) state, i.e. by sound velocity ( vs=vph). The phonons [absorp-
tion/radiation] during these transitions could accompani ed the like processes in
composition of macrodeformons;
fa=Pa

and
fa=¯Pa
¯Pa+¯Pb+¯Pd;fb=¯Pb

¯Pa+¯Pb+¯Pd(3.28)
are the probabilities of corresponding states of the primar y (f) and secondary
quasiparticles; Pa, Pb, Pdand¯Pa,¯Pb,¯Pd- relative probabilities of excitation
(thermoaccessibilities) of the primary and secondary effec tons and deformons
(see eqs. 4.10, 4.11, 4.18, 4.19, 4.25 and 4.26).
Using eq. (3.4c) it is possible to express the phase velociti es inband¯bstates
of effectons ( vb

Using eqs. (3.25 and 3.30), we find the formulas for the resulting phase

As will be shown below, it is necessary to know va

phto determine
theconcentration of the primary and secondary effectons. When the values of
resulting phase velocities in aand¯ astates of effectons are known, then from
eqs. (3.30) and (3.31) it is easy to express resulting phase v elocities in band¯b
states of translational and librational effectons.
233.4. Concentrations of quasiparticles, introduced in Hier archic model of
condensed matter
It has been shown by Rayleigh that the concentration of the st anding waves
of any type with wave lengths within the range: λtoλ+dλis equal to:
nλdλ=4πdλ
λ4(3.37)
or, expressing wave lengths via their frequencies and phase velocities λ=vph/ν
we obtain:
nνdν= 4πν2dν
v2
ph(3.38)
For calculation the concentration of standing waves within the frequency range
from zero to the definite characteristic frequency, for exam ple, to the most
probable ( νa) or mean (¯ νa) frequency of wave B, then eq. (3.38) should be
integrated:

Jeans has shown that each standing wave formed by photons or p honons can
be polarized twice. Taking into account this fact the concen trations of standing
photons and standing phonons in the all three directions (1, 2,3) are equal to:

where: [c] and [n] are the light speed in vacuum and refractio n index of matter;
vph=vs- velocity of thermal phonons, equal to sound velocity.
The standing waves B of atoms and molecules have only one line ar polariza-
tion in directions (1,2,3). Therefore, their concentratio ns are described by an
equation of type (3.39).
According to our model (see Introduction), superposition o f each of three
differently oriented (1,2,3) standing waves B forms quasi-p articles which we have
termed effectons . They are divided into the most probable (primary) (with zer o
resulting impulse) and mean (secondary) effectons. Quasipa rticles, formed by
3D superposition of standing photons and phonons, originat ing in the course
of (a⇔b) and (¯ a⇔¯b) transitions of the primary and secondary effectons,
respectively, are termed primary and secondary deformons (Table 1).
Effectons and deformons are the result of thermal translations (tr) and libra-
tions (lb) of molecules in directions (1,2,3). These quasiparticles a re generally
approximated by a parallelepiped with symmetry axes (1,2,3 ).
24As far three coherent standing waves of corresponding nature take part in
the construction of each effecton , it means that the concentration of such quasi-
particles must be three times lower than the concentration o f standing waves
expressed by eq. (3.39). The coherence of molecules in the vo lume of the ef-
fectons and deformons due to partial Bose-condensation is t he most important
feature of our model, which leads to degeneration of waves B o f these molecules.
Finally, we obtain the concentration of primary effectons, p rimary
transitons and convertons:

are calculated according to formula (3 .5);va

4. HIERARCHIC THERMODYNAMICS
4.1. The internal energy of matter as a hierarchical system
of collective excitations
26The quantum theory of crystal heat capacity leads to the foll owing equation
for the density of thermal internal energy (Ashkroft, Mermi n, 1976):
ǫ=1
Vi/summationtextEiexp(−Ei/kT)
i/summationtextexp(−Ei/kT)(4.1)
where V - the crystal volume; Ei- the energy of the i-stationary state.
According to our Hierarchic theory, the internal energy of m atter is deter-
mined by the concentration ( ni) of each type of quasiparticles, probabilities of
excitation of each of their states ( Pi) and the energies of corresponding states
(Ei). The condensed matter is considered as an ”ideal gas” of 3D s tanding
waves of different types (quasiparticles and collective exc itations). However,
the dynamic equilibrium between types of quasiparticles is very sensitive to the
external and internal perturbations.
The total partition function - the sum of the relative probab ilities of excita-
tion of all states of quasiparticles is equal to:

Here we take into account that the probabilities of excitati on of primary and
secondary transitons and deformons are the same ( Pd=Pt;¯Pd=¯Pt) and
related to the same processes:
(a⇔b)tr,lb and (¯ a⇔¯b)tr,lbtransitions.
The analogous situation is with probabilities of a, b and cM convertons and
corresponding acoustic deformons excitations: Pac, PbcandPcMd=PcMt. So
it is a reason for taking them into account in the partition fu nction only ones.
The final formula for the total internal energy of ( Utot) of one mole of matter
leading from mesoscopic model, considering the system of 3D standing waves as

Contributions of all types of transitons ( Ut) also can be easily calculated.
The intramolecular configurational dynamics of molecules i s automatically
taken into account in our approach as it has an influence on the intermolecular
dynamics, dimensions, and on concentration of quasipartic les as well as on the
energy of excitation of their states. These dynamics affects the positions of the
absorption bands in oscillatory spectra and values of sound velocity, that we use
for calculation of internal energy.
The remnant small contribution of intramolecular dynamics to Utotis related
to oscillation energy corresponding to fundamental molecu lar modes ( νi
p). It
may be estimated using Plank distribution:

Substituting the parameters of quasiparticles, calculate d in this way into
eqs. (4.2 and 4.3), we obtain the total internal energy of one mole of matter
in solid or liquid phase. For water and ice the theoretical re sults coincide with
experimental one fairly well (see Fig. 2).
It is important that our equations are the same for solid and l iq-
uid states. The difference in experimental parameters, such as molar vol ume,
sound velocity, refraction index, positions of translatio nal and librational bands
determines the difference of internal energy and of more than 100 another pa-
rameters of any state of condensed matter, which can be calcu lated using eq.
(4.3). It is important to stress that our concept is general for soli ds
and liquids, for crystals, glasses and amorphous matter.
4.2. The contributions of kinetic and potential
energy to the total internal energy
The total internal energy of matter ( Utot) is equal to the sum of total kinetic
(Ttot) and total potential ( Vtot) energy:
Utot=Ttot+Vtot
The kinetic energy of wave B(TB) of one molecule may be expressed using
its total energy ( EB), mass of molecule (m), and its phase velocity as wave B
(vph):
TB=mv2
gr
2=E2
B
2mv2
ph(4.31)
The total mass ( Mi) of 3D standing waves B forming effectons, transitons and
deformons of different types are proportional to number of mo lecules in the
volume of corresponding quasiparticle ( Vi= 1/ni):
Mi=1/ni
V0/N0m (4.32)
the limiting condition for minimum mass of quasiparticle is :
34Mmin
i=m (4.33)
Consequently the kinetic energy of each coherent effectons i s equal to
/bracketleftBigg

(4.34)
where: E iis a total energy of given quasiparticle.
The kinetic energy of coherent primary and secondary deform ons and tran-
sitons we express analogously to eq. (4.34), but instead of t he phase velocity
of waves B we use the light speed and resulting sound velocity vres(eq.3.24),
respectively:

Total potential energy is defined by the difference between to tal internal (eq.
4.3) and total kinetic energy (eq. 4.36):
Vtot=Utot−Ttot(4.39)
Consequently, we can separately calculate the kinetic and p otential energy con-
tributions to the total thermal internal energy of matter, u sing four experimental
parameters, obtained at the same temperature and pressure:
1)density or molar volume;
2)sound velocity;
3)refraction index and
4)positions of translational and librational bands in oscillatory spectrum of
condensed matter.
It is important to stress that the same equations are valid fo r
liquids and solids.
The contributions of all individual types of quasiparticle s in thermodynamics
as well as a lot of characteristics of these quasiparticles a lso may be calculated,
using hierarchic theory.
4.3. Some useful parameters of condensed matter
The total Structural Factor can be calculated as a ratio of the kinetic to
the total energy of matter:
SF=Ttot/Utot(4.40)
The structural factors, related to contributions of transl ations (SFtr) and to
librations (SFlb) could be calculated separately as:
SFtr =Ttr/Utotand SFlb =Tlb/Utot(4.41)
36Dynamic parameters of quasiparticles, introduced in Hiera rchic
theory
The frequency of c- Macrotransitons or Macroconvertons exc itation, repre-

is:
FcM=1
τMcPMc/Z (4.42)
where: PMc=PacPbcis a probability of Macroconvertons excitation;
Zis a total partition function (see eq.4.2);
the life-time of Macroconvertons is:
τMc= (τacτbc)1/2(4.43)
The cycle-period of (ac) and (bc) convertons are determined by the sum of
life-times of intermediate states of primary translationa l and librational effec-
tons:
τac= (τa)tr+ (τa)lb;
τbc= (τb)tr+ (τb)lb;(4.44)
The life-times of primary and secondary effectons (lb and tr) ina- and b-
states are the reciprocal values of corresponding state fre quencies:
[τa= 1/νa;τa= 1/νa]tr,lb; (4.45)

and probability of Superdeformons activation ( PD∗
S),like the limiting stage
of this cycle.
The averaged life-times of Supereffectons in A∗andB∗state are dependent
on similar states of translational and librational macroeff ectons :
τA∗= [(τA)tr(τA)lb] = [(τaτa)tr(τaτa)lb]1/2(4.49)
and that in B state:
τB∗= [(τB)tr(τB)lb] = [(τbτb)tr(τbτb)lb]1/2(4.50)
The life-time of Superdeformons excitation
It is determined by frequency of beats between A∗and B∗states of
Supereffectons as:
τD∗= 1/|(1/τA∗)−(1/τB∗)| (4.51)

computer program elaborated, as will be shown in the next chapters.
5. QUANTITATIVE VERIFICATION OF HIERARCHIC
THEORY
ON EXAMPLES OF ICE AND WATER
All the calculations, based on Hierarchic theory, were perf ormed on the
personal computers. The special software: ”Comprehensive analyzer of matter
properties” [copyright 1997, Kaivarainen] was worked out. This program allows
to evaluate more than three hundred parameters of any conden sed matter if the
following basic experimental data are available in the temp erature interval of
interest:
1. Positions of translational and librational bands in IR sp ectra;
2. Sound velocity;
3. Molar volume;
4. Refraction index.
The basic experimental parameters for ice:
The wave numbers (˜ νtr), corresponding to positions of translational and
librational bands in oscillatory IR spectra were taken from book of Eisenberg
and Kauzmann (1969). Wave numbers for ice at 0oCare:
40/parenleftBig
˜ν(1)

/parenleftBig
˜ν(2)
ph/parenrightBig
tr= 160 cm−1;
/parenleftBig
˜ν(3)
ph/parenrightBig
tr= 229 cm−1
Accordingly to our model, the IR photons with corresponding frequencies are
irradiated and absorbed a result of ( a⇔b) primary translational deformons in
ice. Temperature shifts of these bands positions are close t o zero:
∂/parenleftBig
˜ν1,2,3

tr/∂T≈0
Wave numbers of librational IR bands, corresponding to absorption of photons,
related to ( a⇔b)1,2,3

ph/parenrightBig
lb=/parenleftBig
˜ν(2)
ph/parenrightBig
lb=/parenleftBig
˜ν(3)
ph/parenrightBig
lb≈795cm−1.
The equality of wave numbers for three directions (1,2,3) indicate the spatial
isotropy of the librations of H2Omolecules. In this case deformons and effectons
have a cube geometry. In general case they have a shape of para llelepiped (like
quasiparticles of translational type) with each of three ribs, corresponding to
most probable de Broglie wave length in selected direction.
The temperature shift of the position of the librational ban d maximum for
ice is:
∂/parenleftBig
˜ν1,2,3
ph/parenrightBig
lb/∂T≈ −0.2cm−1/C0
The resulting thermal phonons velocity in ice, responsible for secondary acoustic
deformons, is taken as equal to the transverse sound velocit y (Johri and Roberts,
1990):
vres
s= 1.99·105cm/s
This velocity and molar ice volume ( V0) are almost independent on temperature
(Eisenberg, 1969):
V0= 19.6cm3/M≃const

Wave numbers are related to the frequencies ( ν) of corresponding transitions
via light velocity as: ν=c˜ν
The dependence of sound velocity (vs)in water on temperature within the
temperature range 0 −1000Cis expressed by the polynomial (Fine and Millero,
1973):

+ 345 .3·10−6t3−
−1645.13·10−9t4+ 3.9625·10−9t5(m/s).
The temperature dependence of molar volume ( V0) ofwater within the same
temperature range can be calculated using the polynomial (K ell, 1975; Kikoin,
1976):
V0= 18000 /[(999,83952+ 16 .945176 t−
−7.98704·10−3t2−

/(1 + 1 .687985 ·10−2t)] (cm3/M)
Therefraction index for ice was taken as an independent of temperature ( nice=
1.35) and that for water as a variable, depending on temperatur e in accordance
with experimental data, presented by Frontas’ev and Schrei ber (1966).
The refraction index for water at 200C is approximately:
42nH2O≃1.33
The temperature dependences of different parameters for ice and water, com-
puted using the formulas of our mesoscopic theory, are prese nted in Figs.(1-4).
It is only a small part of available information. In principl e, it is possible to cal-
culate about 200 different parameters for liquid and solid st ate of any condensed
matter [3].
5.1. Discussion of theoretical temperature dependences an d
comparison with experimental data
It will be shown below that our hierarchic theory makes it pos sible to cal-
culate unprecedented big amount of parameters for liquids a nd solids. Those
of them that where measured experimentally and taken from li terature are in
excellent correspondence with theory.
Fig. 1 .(a, b, c).Temperature dependences of the resulting ther-
moaccessibility ( Z) (eq.4.2) and contributions related to primary
and secondary effectons and deformons for ice (a,b) and water (c).
43The resulting thermoaccessibility minimum (Fig. 1a) for ic e (Z) corresponds
to the temperature of -1700C. The interval from -198 to -1730C is known indeed
as anomalies one due to the fact that the heat equilibrium of i ce establishes very
slowly in the above range (Maeno, 1988). This fact can be expl ained by the less
probable ice structure (minimum value of partition functio n Z ) near −1700C.
For the other hand, experimental anomaly, related with maximum heat
capacity ( Cp), also is observed near the same temperature. It can be expla ined,
if we present heat capacity as:
Cp=∂
∂T(1
ZU∗) =−1
Z2∂Z
∂TU∗+1
Z∂U∗
∂T
One can see, that heat capacity is maximal, when ( ∂Z/∂T ) = 0 and Z is min-
imal. It is a condition of Z(T) extremum, just leading from ou r theory at
-1700C (Fig.1a).
In liquid water the temperature dependences of Z and its comp onents are
linear. The thermoaccessibility of mean secondary effecton s in water decreases,
while that of primary effectons increases with temperature, just like in ice (Fig.
1 b,c).
Fig. 2 . (a,b). Temperature dependences of the total internal
energy ( Utot) and different contributions for ice (a) and water (b)
(eqs. 4.3 - 4.5). Following contributions to Utotare presented:
(Uef+¯Uef) is the contribution of primary and secondary effec-
tons; ( Ud+¯Ud) is the contribution of primary and secondary de-
formons; ( Uef+Ud) is the contribution of primary effectons and
deformons;
(¯Uef+¯Ud) is the contribution of secondary effectons and defor-
mons.
It leads from our calculations, that contributions of macro - and supereffec-
tons to the total internal energy and that of macro- and super deformons, as
44well as all types of convertons, are much smaller than those o f primary and
secondary effectons and deformons.
On lowering down the temperature the total internal energy o f ice (Fig. 2a)
and its components decreases with temperature coming close r to absolute zero.
The same parameters for water are decreasing almost linearl y within the interval
(100−0)0C(Fig. 2b).
In computer calculations, the values of Cp(t) can be determined by differen-
tiating Utotnumerically at any of temperature interval.
It follows from Fig. 2a that the mean value of heat capacity fo r ice in the
interval from -75 to 0oCis equal to:
¯Cice
p=∆Utot
∆T≈39J/M K = 9.3 cal/M K
For water within the whole range ∆ T= 1000C, the change in the internal
energy is: ∆ U= 17−9.7 = 7.3kJ/M (Fig.2b). This corresponds to mean value
of heat capacity of water:
Cwater
p =∆Utot
∆T= 73J/M K = 17.5cal/M K
These results of our theory agree well with the experimental mean values
Cp= 18 Cal /M K for water and Cp= 9cal/M K for ice.
Mesoscopic molecular Bose condensation at physiological
temperature: possible or not?
The possibility of existence of mesoscopic (intermediate b etween microscopic
and macroscopic) Bose condensation in form of coherent clus ters in condensed
matter at the ambient temperature was rejected for a long tim e. The reason
of such shortcoming was a wrong primary assumption, that the thermal
oscillations of atoms and molecules in condensed matter are theharmonic
ones (see for example: Beck and Eccles, 1992). The condition of harmonic
oscillations means that the averaged kinetic ( Tk) and potential ( V) energy of
molecules are equal to each other and linearly dependent on t emperature (T).
This condition leads from Virial theorem (Clausius, 1870) f or the
case of classical systems:
Tk=V=1
2kT (5.1)
The averaged kinetic energy of the oscillating particle may be expressed via
its averaged impulse ( p) and mass ( m):
Tk=p2/2m (5.1a)
The most probable wave B length ( λB) of such particle, based on assumption
(5.1), is :
λB=h/p=h/(mkT)1/2(5.2)
45It leads from this formula that around the melting point of ic e:T= 273 K
the value of λBis less than 1 ˚A and much less than the approximate distance
between centers of molecules ( l˜ 3˚A) in ice and water:
λB< l (5.2a)
This result leads to wrong conclusion that water and ice are c lassical
systems, where Bose condensation (BC) is impossible. The sa me
wrong conclusion, based on 5.1 and 5.2 follows for any conden sed
matter at T around its melting point.
The BC is possible only at conditions, when the wave B of parti cles
is equal or bigger, than the average distance between their c enters
(l):
λB≥l= (V0/N0)1/3(5.2b)
In contrast to low-temperature macroscopic BC, accompanied supercon-
ductivity and superfluidity, the condition of mesoscopic high temperature BC
may be expressed as:
L > λ B> l (5.2c)
where Lis a macroscopic parameter, comparable with dimensions of t he
whole sample.
Condition of partial or mesoscopic BC (5.2c) is general for a ny liq-
uids and solids as confirmed by our theory and computer simula tions
for water and ice.
Correct comparisons of ratio between average kinetic and po tential
energy of matter and applying to Virial theorem may give a rig ht
answer to question: is this system classical or quantum ?
It leads from our theoretical dependencies, presented at Fi g. 3a, bthat the
total kinetic energy of water ( Tkin) is approximately 30 times less than the
potential energy ( Vp) at the same temperatures. In the case of ice, they differ
even more: ( Tkin/V)<1/100. The resulting Tkinof water increases almost twice
over the range (0 −1000C) : from 313 to 585 J/M. However, the change of the
total internal energy ( Utot=Tkin+Vp) is determined mainly by the change in
potential energy Vp(t) of ice and water.
46Fig. 3 . (a,b). Temperature dependences of the kinetic ( Tkin) and
potential ( Vp) energy for the ice (a) and water (b), calculated, using
eqs.(4.36), .(4.39). . Note that Utot=Tkin+Vpand was calculated
from eq.(4.3).
We can analyze the above ratio between total kinetic and pote ntial energies
in terms of the Viral theorem worked out by Clausius (Clausius, 1870; see also
Prokhorov, 1988). It is important to note, that this theorem is valid for both:
classical and quantum-mechanical systems.
This famous theorem for a system of any kind of particles syst em - relates
the averaged kinetic ¯Tk(/vector v) =/summationtext
imiv2
i/2 and potential ¯V(r) energies in the
form:
2¯Tk(/vector v) =/summationdisplay
imiv2
i=/summationdisplay
i/vector ri∂V/∂/vector r i (5.2d)
The potential energy V(r) is a homogeneous n-order function like:
V(r)∼rn(5.3)
where the value of power ( n) is equal to ratio of doubled average kinetic
energy to average potential energy:
n=2Tk(/vector v)
V(r)(5.3a)
For example, for a harmonic oscillator: n= 2 and ¯Tk=¯V. For Coulomb
interaction: n=−1 and ¯T=−¯V /2.
For water our calculation of TkandVgives: nw∼1/15 and for ice: nice∼
1/50. It follows from (5.1) that in water and ice the dependence of potential
energy on distance (r) is very weak:
Vw(r)∼r(1/15);Vice∼r(1/50)(5.4)
These results can be considered as indication of distant int eractions in water
and ice, as an associative cooperative systems.
We get here a strong evidence that water and ice can not be con-
sidered as a classical systems, following condition (5.1).
It is important also to note, that the direct interrelation e xists between
the infinitive spatial scale of Bose condensation, determin ed by wave B length:
λ= (h/p)→ ∞ (eq.5.2) and condition of nonlocality as independence of
potential on distance at Tk→0;p→0;n→0:
V(r)→const (5.4a)
This result is true not only for real condensed matter system s,
but also for systems of virtual particles, forming the vacuu m (see:
http://arXiv.org/abs/physics/0003001).
475.2. Explanation of temperature anomalies,
nonmonotonic T-deviations in aqueous systems
Hierarchic theory is the first one enable to predict and give a clear explana-
tion to deviations of temperature dependencies of some phys ical parameters of
water from monotonic ones.
It clarify also the interrelation between these deviations (transitions) and
corresponding temperature anomalies in properties of bios ystems, such as large-
scale dynamics of proteins, the enzymes activity, dynamic e quilibrium of [assembly-
disassembly] of microtubules and actin filaments, etc.
Fig. 4 .(a) : The temperature dependencies of the number of
H2Omolecules in the volume of primary librational effecton ( nlb
M)ef,left
axis) and the number of H2Oper length of this effecton edge ( κ,
right axis); (b): the temperature dependence of the water pr i-
mary librational effecton (approximated by cube) edge lengt h [llib
ef=
κ(V0/N0)1/3].
The number of H2Omolecules within the primary libration effectons
of water, which could be approximated by a cube, decreases fr omnM= 280
at 00tonM≃3 at 1000(Fig. 4a). It should be noted that at physiological
temperatures (35 −400) such quasiparticles contain nearly 40 water molecules.
This number is close to that of water molecules that can be enc losed in the open
interdomain protein cavities judging from X-ray data. The flickering of these
clusters, i.e. their ( dissociation ⇋association ) due to [ lb⇔tr] conversions
in accordance with our model is directly related to the large -scale dynamics of
proteins.
It is important that the linear dimensions of such water clus ters (11 ˚A) at
physiological temperature are close to dimensions of prote in domains (Fig. 4b).
Such spatial correlation indicate that the properties of wa ter ex-
erted a strong influence on the evolution of biopolymers, nam ely,
their dimensions and dynamic properties due to ”flickering” of inter-
subunit water clusters.
We assume here that integer and half-integer values of numbe r of water
molecules per effecton’s edge [ κ] (Fig. 4a) reflect the conditions of increased and
48decreased stabilities of water structure correspondingly . It is apparently related
to the stability of primary librational effectons as coopera tive and coherent
water clusters.
Nonmonotonic behavior of water properties with temperatur e is widely known
and well confirmed experimental fact (Drost-Hansen, 1976, 1 992; Clegg and
Drost-Hansen, 1991; Etzler, 1991; Roberts and Wang, 1993; R oberts and Wang,
1993; Roberts, et al., 1993, 1994; Wang et al., 1994).
We can explain this interesting and important for biologica l func-
tions phenomenon because of competition between two factor s: quan-
tum and structural ones in stability of primary librational effectons.
The quantum factor such as wave B length, determining the value of the
effecton edge:
/bracketleftBig
lef=κ(V0/N0)1/3˜λB/bracketrightBig
lb(5.5)
decreases monotonously with temperature increasing. The structural fac-
toris a sensitive parameter depending on the H2Oeffective length: lH2O=
(V0/N0)1/3andtheir number [κ] in the effecton’s edge, approximated by
cube.
We suggest that when ( lef) corresponds to integer number of H2O, i.e.
[κ= (lef/lH2O) = 2,3,4,5,6...]lb(5.6)
thecompetition between quantum and structural factors is minimum and pri-
mary librational effectons are most stable. On the other hand , when ( lef/lH2O)lb
is half-integer, the librational effectons are less stable ( thecompetition is maxi-
mum). In the latter case ( a⇔b)lbequilibrium of the effectons must be shifted
rightward - to less stable state of these coherent water clus ters. Consequently,
the probability of dissociation of librational effectons to a number of much
smaller translational effecton, i.e. probability of [lb/tr ] convertons increases
and concentration of primary librational effectons decreas es. Experimentally
the nonmonotonic change of this probability with temperatu re could be reg-
istered by dielectric permittivity, refraction index meas urements and by that
of average density of water. The refraction index change sho uld lead to corre-
sponding variations of surface tension, vapor pressure, vi scosity, self-diffusion in
accordance to our hierarchic theory (Kaivarainen, 1995, 20 00).
In accordance to our model the density of liquid water in comp o-
sition of librational effectons is lower than the average in t he bulk
water. In the former case all hydrogen bonds of molecules are satura ted like in
ideal ice in contrast to latter one.
We can see from Fig.4a that the number of water molecules in primary lb
effecton edge (κ) is integer near the following temperatures:
60(κ= 6); 170(κ= 5); 320(κ= 4); 490(κ= 3); 770(κ= 2) (5.7)
These temperatures coincide very well with the maximums of relaxation time in
pure water and with dielectric response anomalies (Roberts , et al., 1993; 1994;
Wang, et al., 1994). The special temperatures predicted by o ur theory are close
also to chemical kinetic (Aksnes, Asaad, 1989; Aksnes, Libn au, 1991), refrac-
tometry (Frontas’ev, Schreiber 1966) and IR (Prochorov, 19 91) data. Small
49discrepancy may result from the high sensitivity of water to any kind of pertur-
bation, guest-effects and additional polarization of water molecules, induced by
high frequency visible photons. Even such low concentratio ns of inorganic ions
ester and NaOH as used by Aksnes and Libnau (1991) may change w ater proper-
ties. The increase of H2Opolarizability under the effect of light also may lead to
enhancement of water clusters stability and to correspondi ng high-temperature
shift of nonmonotonic changes of water properties.
The semi integer numbers of [ κ] for pure water correspond to temperatures:
00(κ= 6.5); 120(κ= 5.5); 240(κ= 4.5); 400(κ= 3.5); (5.7a)
620(κ= 2.5); 990(κ= 1.5)
The conditions (5.7a) characterize the less stable water st ructure than con-
ditions (5.7). The first order phase transitions - freezing a t 00and boiling at
1000of water almost exactly correspond to κ= 6.5 and κ= 1.5. This fact is
important for understanding the mechanism of first order pha se transitions.
The temperature anomalies of colloid water-containing sys tems,
discovered by Drost-Hansen (1976) and studied by Etzler and coauthors (1987;
1991) occurred near 14-160; 29-320; 44-460and 59-620C. At these temperatures
the extrema of viscosity, disjoining pressure and molar exc ess entropy of water
between quartz plates even with a separation 300-500 ˚A has been observed.
These temperatures are close to predicted by our theory for b ulk water anoma-
lies, corresponding to integer values of [ κ] (see 5.7). Some deviations can be a
result of interfacial water perturbations, induced by coll oid particles and plates.
It is a first theory which looks to be able to predict and explai n the existence
of Drost-Hansen temperatures.
The dimensions, concentration and stability of water clust ers (primary li-
brational effectons) in the volume of vicinal water should be bigger than that
in bulk water due to their less mobility and to longer waves B l ength.
Interesting ideas, concerning the role of water clusters in biosystems were
developed in works of John Watterson (1988a,b).
It was revealed in our laboratory (Kaivarainen, 1985; Kaiva rainen et al.,
1993) that nonmonotonic changes of water near Drost-Hansen temperatures are
accompanied by in-phase change of different protein large-s cale dynamics, re-
lated to their functioning. The further investigations of l ike phenomena are very
important for understanding the molecular mechanisms of th ermoadaptation of
living organisms.
5.3. Physiological temperature and the least action princi ple
The Fig.5 a, bshows the resulting contributions to the total kinetic ener gy
of water of two main subsystems: effectons and deformons. The minimum of
deformons contribution at 430is close to the physiological temperatures for
warm-blooded animals.
50Fig. 5. Temperature dependences of two resulting contributions
- effectons ( Tef
kin) and deformons ( Td
kin) of all types to the total kinetic
energy of water.
The minima at temperature dependences of different contribu tions to the total
kinetic energy of water at Fig.5 correspond to the best imple mentation of the
least action principle in the form of Mopertui-Lagrange.
In such a form, this principle is valid for the conservative h olonom systems,
where limitations exist for the displacements of the particles of this sys-
tem, rather than the magnitudes of their velocities. It states that among
all the kinematically possible displacements of a system fr om one configuration
to another, without changing total system energy, such a dis placements are most
probable for which the action (W) is least: ∆ W= 0. Here ∆ is the symbol of
total variation in coordinates, velocities and time.
The action is a fundamental physical parameter which has the dimension of
the product of energy and time characterizing the dynamics o f a system.
According to Hamilton, the action:
S=t/integraldisplay
t0Ldt (5.8)
is expressed through the Lagrange function:
L=Tkin−V, (5.9)
where T kinand V are the kinetic and potential energies of a system or a su b-
system.
According to Lagrange, the action (W) can be expressed as:
W=t/integraldisplay
t02Tkindt (5.10)
51We can assume that at the same integration limit the minimum v alue of the
action ∆W ≃0 corresponds to the minimum value of T kin.. Then it can be said
that at temperature about 430the subsystems of deformons is most stable (see
Fig. 6). This means that the equilibrium between the acousti c and optic states
of primary and secondary effectons should be most stable at th is temperature.
5.4. Mechanism of the 1st and 2nd order phase transitions
in terms of the hierarchic theory
The abrupt increase of the total internal energy (U) as a resu lt of ice melting
(Fig. 6a), equal to 6 .27kJ/M , calculated from our theory is close to the experi-
mental data (6 kJ/M ) (Eisenberg, 1969). The resulting thermoaccessibility (Z)
during [ice →water] transition decreases abruptly, while potential and kinetic
energies increase (Fig. 6b).
Fig. 6. The total internal energy ( U=Tkin+Vp) change during
ice-water phase transition and change of the resulting ther moacces-
sibility (Z) - (a); changes in kinetic ( Tkin) and potential ( Vp) energies
(b) as a result of the same transition.
It is important that at the melting point H2Omolecules number in a primary
translational effecton (ntr
M)efdecreases from 1 to ≃0.4 (Fig. 7a). It means that
the volume of this quasiparticle type gets smaller than the v olume occupied by
H2Omolecule. According to our model, under such conditions the individua l
water molecules get the independent translation mobility. The number of water
molecules forming a primary libration effecton decreases abruptly from about
3000 to 280, as a result of melting. The number of H2Oin the secondary
librational effecton decreases correspondingly from ∼1.25 to 0.5 (Fig. 7b).
Fig. 8 a, bcontains more detailed information on changes in primary li bra-
tional effecton parameters in the course of ice melting.
The theoretical dependences obtained allow us to give a clea r interpretation
of the first order phase transitions. The condition of meltin g atT=Tcris

The process of boiling, i.e. [liquid →gas] transition, as seen from Fig. 7a,
is also determined by condition (5.11), but at this case it is realized for primary
librational effectons.
This means that [gas →liquid] transition is related to origination (condensa-
tion) of the primary librational effectons which contain more than one molecule
of substance.
In a liquid as compared to gas, the quantity of rotational deg rees of freedom
is decreased due to librational coherent effectons formatio n, but the number of
translational degrees of freedom remains the same.
The translational degrees of freedom, in turn, also decreas es, however, during
[liquid →solid] phase transition, when the wave B length of molecules corre-
sponding to their translations begins to exceed the mean dis tances between the
centers of molecules (Fig. 7a). This process is accompanied by partial Bose-
condensation of translational waves B and by the formation o f coherent primary
translational effectons, including more than one molecule. The size of librational
effectons grows up abruptly during [ water →ice] transition.

edge: llb

The enlarged primary librational effectons and librational polyeffectons, orig-
inating from the effectons ”side-to-side” assembly due to Jo sephson’ junctions,
may serve as a centers of crystallization, necessary for [ liquid →solid] transi-
tion. We assume here that probability of mesoscopic Bose con densation (BC)
of molecules, involved in translations, as a condition of [l iquid-solid] transition,
increases in vicinity of crystallization centers, stimula ted by interfacial effects.
The process of polyeffectons formation in very pure water is s low due to rela-
tively low probability of their collision, necessary for pr imary effectons assembly.
Such mechanism may be responsible for getting the supercool ed water, i.e. liq-
uid water, existing few degrees below 00C.The presence of impurities in form
of colloid particles in water - stimulates the enlargement o f librational effectons
and their assembly, increasing in such a way the temperature of [water →ice]
phase transition and making it closer to 00C.The opposite sharp transition
of pure [ ice→water ],however, occur always at 00Cat normal pressure of 1
atm. We may explain this phenomenon because the unified syste m of primary
[translational + librational BC] of ice is more cooperative than the system of
only librational BC of water. Consequently, the reaction of ice to temperature
is more sensitive, than that of water and phase transition [ ice→water ] is more
sharp, than [ water →ice].
In contrast to first order phase transitions, the 2nd order ph ase
transitions are not related to the abrupt change of primary effectons volu me
and concentration, but only to their stability, related to their (a⇋b)1,2,3
tr,lb
equilibrium shift, symmetry changes and polymerization. Such phe-
nomena may be a result of a gradual [temperature/pressure] - dependent de-
crease in the difference between the energy of aiandbistates of one of three

The non-monotonic changes of sound velocity and the low-fre quency shift
of translational and librational bands in oscillatory spec tra, according to our
theory, should be followed by jump of heat capacity, compres sibility and coef-
ficient of thermal expansion. The parameters of elementary c ells,depending on
geometry, stability and dynamics of primary effectons are changing also. All
these predictions of our theory are in accordance with exper imental data.
Consequently, theory propose a new clear mechanism of 1st an d 2nd order
phase transitions. The number of molecules in the volume of p rimary effec-
tons (5.11a) may be considered as a parameter of order for 1st order phase
transition.

5.5. The energy of quasiparticle discrete states.
Activation energy of dynamics in water
Over the entire temperature range for water and ice, excludi ng conditions
of 2nd order phase transitions, the energies of ”acoustic” a-states of primary
effectons (translational and librational ones) are lower th an the energies of ”op-
tic”b-states (Fig.9). The energy of an ideal effecton (3RT) has the intermediate
values.
55Fig. 9. Temperature dependences for the energy of primary
effectons in ”acoustic” ( a) and ”optical” ( b) states and that for the
energy of a harmonic 3D oscillator (the ideal thermal effecto n:E0=
3RT) for water and ice calculated according to the formulae (4.6 ,
4.7 and 4.12): a) for primary translational effectons of wate r ina
andbstates; b) for primary librational effectons of water in aandb
states; c) for primary translational effectons of ice in aandbstates;
d) for primary librational effectons of ice in aandbstates.
According to the eq.(4.10 and 4.11) the thermoaccessibility of (a) and ( b)
states is determined by the absolute value of the difference:
|Ea
ef−3kT|tr,lb;|Eb
ef−3kT|tr,lb.
where E0= 3kT= 3hν0is energy of an ideal effecton.
The ( a⇔b) transitions (quantum beats) can be considered as autoosci l-
lations of quasiparticles around the thermal equilibrium s tate ( E0), which is
quantum - mechanically prohibited. In terms of synergetics , the primary effec-
tons are the medium active elements.
(b→a) transitions are related to origination of photons, and ele ctromagnetic
deformons, while the reverse ones ( a→b) correspond to absorption of them,
i.e. annihilation of deformons.
56The nonequilibrium conditions in the subsystems of effecton s and deformons
can be induced by the competition between discrete quantum a nd continuous
heat energy distributions of different quasiparticles. Som etimes these nonequi-
librium conditions could lead to macroscopic long-period o scillations in con-
densed matter.
The temperature dependences of the excitation (or fluctuati on) energies

D)tr,lband superdeformons
(ǫs
D∗), for water (a,b) and ice (c,d) can be calculated according t o formulas (5.8,
5.9 and 5 .10). E0= 3RTis the energy of ideal quasiparticle, corresponding to
thermal equilibrium energy.
The knowledge of the excitation energies of macrodeformons is important
for calculation the viscosity and coefficient of self-diffusi on (see sections 6.6 and
6.8).
The A and B states of macro- and supereffectons represent the s ignificant de-
viations from thermal equilibrium. The transitions betwee n these states termed:
macro- and superdeformons represent the strong fluctuation s of polarizabilities
and, consequently, of refraction index and dielectric perm eability.
The excitation energies of A and B states of macroeffectons ar e determined
as:
(ǫA

The value ( ǫM

fortranslational self-diffusion of water molecules , and ( ǫM
D)lb≈31kJ/M ≈7.4
kcal/M - the activation energy for librational self-diffusi on of H2O. The latter
valueis close to the energy of the hydrogen bond in water (Eisenberg, 1969).
On the other hand,the biggest fluctuations-superdeformons are
responsible for the process of cavitational fluctuations in liquids and
the emergency of defects in solids. They determine vapor pre ssure
and sublimation, as it will be shown in our work.
57Fig. 10. Temperature dependences of the oscillation frequen-
cies in ( a) and ( b) state of primary effectons - translational and
librational for water (a) and ice (b), calculated from (Fig. 9).
The relative distribution of frequencies on Fig.10 is the sa me as of energies
on Fig. 9. The values of these frequencies reflect the minimum life-times of
corresponding states. The real life-time is dependent also on probability of
”jump” from this state to another one and on probability of st ates excitation.
5.6. The life-time of quasiparticles and frequencies of the ir
excitations
The set of formula, describing the dynamic properties of qua siparticles, in-
troduced in mesoscopic theory was presented earlier.
For the case of ( a⇔b)1,2,3transitions of primary and secondary effectons
(tr and lb), their life-times in (a) and (b) states are the reciprocal val ue of
corresponding frequencies: [ τa= 1/νaandτb= 1/νb]1,2,3
tr,lb. These parameters
and the resulting ones could be calculated from eqs.(2.27; 2 .28) for primary
effectons and (2.54; 2.55) for secondary ones.
The results of calculations, using eq.(4.56 and 4.57) for fr equency of excita-
tions of primary tr and lb effectons are plotted on Fig. 11a,b.
The frequencies of Macroconvertons and Superdeformons wer e calculated
using eqs.(4.42 and 4.48).
58Fig. 11. (a) - Frequency of primary [tr] effectons excitations,
calculated from eq.(4.56);
(b) - Frequency of primary [lb] effectons excitations, calcu lated
from eq.(4.57);
(c) - Frequency of [ lb/tr] Macroconvertons (flickering clusters)
excitations, calculated from eq.(4.42);
(d) - Frequency of Superdeformons excitations, calculated from
eq.(4.48).
At the temperature interval (0 - 100)0Cthe frequencies of translational and
librational macrodeformons (tr and lb) are in the interval o f
(1.3−2.8)·109s−1and(0.2−13)·106s−1(5.16)
correspondingly. The frequencies of (ac) and (bc) converto ns could be defined
also using our software and formulae, presented at the end of Section IV.
The frequency of primary translational effectons [ a⇔b] transitions at 200C,
calculated from eq.(4.56) is
ν∼7·1010(1/s) (5.17)
It corresponds to electromagnetic wave length in water with refraction index
(n= 1.33) of:
λ= (cn)/ν∼6mm (5.18)
For the other hand, there are a lot of evidence, that irradiat ion of very different
biological systems with such coherent electromagnetic fiel d exert great influences
on their properties (Grundler and Keilman, 1983).
59Between the dynamics/function of proteins, membranes, etc . and
dynamics of their aqueous environment the strong interrela tion exists.
The frequency of macroconvertons, representing big densit y fluctuation in
the volume of primary librational effecton at 370C is about 107(1/s) (Fig 11c),
the frequency of librational macrodeformons at the same tem perature is about
106s−1,i.e. coincides with frequency of large-scale protein cavities pulsa-
tions between open and closed to water states (see Fig.11). This confirm
our hypothesis that the clusterphilic interaction is respo nsible for stabilization
of the proteins cavities open state and that transition from the open state to the
closed one is induced by coherent water cluster dissociatio n.
The frequency of Superdeformons excitation (Fig.11d) is mu ch lower:
νs∼(104−105)s−1(5.19)
Superdeformons are responsible for cavitational fluctuati ons in liquids and orig-
ination of defects in solids. Dissociation of oligomeric pr oteins, like hemoglobin
or disassembly of actin and microtubules could be also relat ed with such big
fluctuations. Superdeformons could stimulate also the reve rsible dissociation of
water molecules, which determines the pH value
H2O⇋HO−+H+(5.20)
Recombination of HO−andH+may be accompanied by emission of UV
and visible photons. Corresponding radiation could be resp onsible for fraction
of so-called biophotons.
The parameters, characterizing an average spatial distrib ution of
primary lb and tr effectons in the bulk water are presented on the next
Fig.12.
60Fig. 12. Theoretical temperature dependencies of:
(a) - the space between centers of primary [lb] effectons (cal cu-
lated in accordance to eq.4.62);
(b) - the ratio of space between primary [lb] effectons to thei r
length (calculated, using eq.4.63);
(c) - the space between centers of primary [tr] effectons (in a c-
cordance to eq.4.62);
(d) - the ratio of space between primary [tr] effectons to thei r
length (eq.4.63).
One can see from the Fig.12 that the dimensions of primary tra nslational
effectons are much smaller and concentration much higher tha n that of primary
librational effectons. We have to keep in mind that these are t he averaged
spatial distributions of collective excitations. The form ation of polyeffectons -
coherent clusters of lb (in liquids) and tr (in solids) prima ry effectons, interacting
side-by-side due to Josephson effect is possible also.

mary effectons (translational and librational) in ( a) and ( b) states:

from eqs.:(Na
ef)tr,lb= (nefPa
ef/Z)tr,lb;
(Nb
ef)tr,lb= (nefPb
ef/Z)tr,lb
61These dependences can be considered as the quasiparticles
distribution functions.
To get such information using conventional tools, i.e. by me ans of x-ray
or neutron scattering methods is very complicated task. How ever, even in this
case the final information about properties of collective ex citations will not be
so comprehensive as it leads from our theory.
The results, presented above, confirms the correctness of ou r model
for liquids and solids, as a hierarchic system of 3D standing waves of
different nature. It will be demonstrated below that applica tion of
Hierarchic theory could be useful for elucidation and quant itative
analysis of very different physical properties.
6. INTERRELATION BETWEEN MESOSCOPIC AND
MACROSCOPIC PARAMETERS OF MATTER
6.1. The state equation for real gas
The Clapeyrone-Mendeleyev equation sets the relationship between pressure
(P), volume ( V) and temperature ( T) values for the ideal gas containing N0
molecules (one mole):
PV=N0kT=RT (6.1)
In the real gases interactions between the molecules and the ir sizes should be
taken into account. It can be achieved by entering the corres ponding amend-
ments into the left part, to the right or to the both parts of eq . (1).
It was Van der Waals who choosed the first way more than a hundre d years
ago and derived the equation:
/parenleftBig
P+a
V2/parenrightBig/parenleftbig
V−b/parenrightbig
=RT (6.2)
where the attraction forces are accounted for by the amendin g term ( a/V2),
while the repulsion forces and the effects of the excluded vol ume accounted for
the term (b).
Equation (2) correctly describes changes in P,V and T relate d to liquid-gas
transitions on the qualitative level. However, the quantit ative analysis by means
of (2) is approximate and needs the fitting parameters. The pa rameters (a) and
(b) are not constant for the given substance and depend on tem perature. Hence,
the Van der Waals equation is only some approximation descri bing the state of
a real gas.
We propose a way to modify the right part of eq.(1), substitut ing it for the
part of the kinetic energy (T) of 1 mole of the substance (eq.4 .31 in [1, 2]) in
real gas phase formed only by secondary effectons and deformo ns with nonzero
impulse, affecting the pressure:

The contribution to pressure caused by primary quasipartic les as Bose-condensate
with the zero resulting impulse is equal to zero also.
It is assumed when using such approach that for real gases the model of
a system of weakly interacted oscillator pairs is valid. The validity of such
an approach for water is confirmed by available experimental data indicating
the presence of dimers, trimers and larger H2Oclusters in the water vapor
(Eisenberg and Kauzmann, 1975).
Water vapor has an intensive band in oscillatory spectra at ˜ ν= 200 cm−1.
Possibly, it is this band that characterizes the frequencie s of quantum beats
between ”acoustic” (a) and ”optic” (b) translational oscil lations in pairs of
molecules and small clusters. The frequencies of libration al collective modes
in vapor are absent.
The energies of primary gas quasiparticles ( hνaandhνb) can be calculated
on the basis of the formulae used for a liquid (see section... ).
However, to calculate the energies of secondary quasiparti cles in (¯ a) and
(¯b) states the Bose-Einstein distribution must be used for th e case when the
temperature is higher than the Bose-condensation temperat ure (T > T 0) and the
chemical potential is not equal to zero ( µ <0). According to this distribution:

The kinetic energies of effectons (¯ a)tr,lband (¯b)tr,lbstates are equal, only the
potential energies differ as in the case of condensed matter.
All other parameters in basic equation (6.3) can be calculat ed as previously
described.
6.2. New state equation for condensed matter
Using our eq.(4.3 from [1,2]) for the total internal energy o f condensed matter
(Utot), we can present state equation in a more general form than (3 ).
For this end we introduce the notions of internal pressure (Pin), including all
type of interactions between particles of matter and excluded molar volume
(Vexc):
63Vexc=4
3πα∗N0=V0/parenleftbiggn2−1
n2/parenrightbigg
(6.5)
where α∗is the acting polarizability of molecules in condensed matt er (see
section...);
N0is Avogadro number, and V0is molar volume.
The general state equation can be expressed in the following form:
PtotVfr= (Pext+Pin)(V0−Vexc) =Uef (6.6)
where: Uef=Utot(1+V/Tt
kin) =U2
tot/Tkinis the effective internal energy and:
(1 +V/Tkin) =Utot/Tkin=S−1
is the reciprocal value of the total structural factor ( eq.2.46a of[1]);Ptot=
Pext+Pinis total pressure, PextandPinare external and internal pressures;
Vfr=V0−Vexc=V0/n2(see eq.5) is a free molar volume; Utot=V+Tkinis
the total internal energy, V and Tkinare total potential and kinetic energies of
one mole of matter.
For the limit case of ideal gas, when Pin= 0;Vexc= 0; and the potential
energy V= 0, we get from (6) the Clapeyrone - Mendeleyev equation (see 1):
PextV0=Tkin=RT
One can use equation of state (6) for estimation of sum of all types of internal
matter interactions , which determines the internal pressure Pin:
Pin=Uef
Vfr−Pext=n2U2
tot
V0Tkin−Pext (6.7)
where: the molar free volume: Vfr=V0−Vexc=V0/n2;
and the effective total energy: Uef=U2
tot/Tkin=Utot/S.
For solids and most of liquids with a good approximation: Pin≫[Pext∼1
atm. = 105Pa]. Then from (7) we have:
Pin∼=n2Utot
V0S=n2
V0·Utot/parenleftbigg
1 +V
Tkin/parenrightbigg
(6.8)
where S=Tkin/Utotis a total structural factor; Tkinand V are total kinetic
and potential energies, respectively.
For example for 1 mole of water under standard conditions we o btain:
Vexc= 8.4cm3;Vfr= 9.6cm3;V0=Vexc+Vfr= 18cm3;
Pin∼=380000 atm. = 3 .8·1010Pa(1 atm. =105Pa).
The parameters such as sound velocity, molar volume, and the positions
of translational and librational bands in oscillatory spec tra that determine
Uef(4.3) depend on external pressure and temperature.
64The results of computer calculations of Pin(eq.7) for ice and water are
presented on Fig. 14 a,b.
Polarizability and, consequently, free volume ( Vfr) and Pinin (6.6) depend
on energy of external electromagnetic fields.
Fig. 14. (a) Theoretical temperature dependence of internal
pressure ( Pin) in ice including the point of [ice ⇔water] phase tran-
sition; (b) Theoretical temperature dependence of interna l pressure
(Pin) in water. Computer calculations were performed using eq.
(6.7).
The minima of Pin(T) for ice at −1400and−500Cin accordance with eq.(9)
correspond to the most stable structure of this matter, rela ted to temperature
transition. In water some kind of transition appears at 350C, near physiological
temperature.
There may exist conditions when the derivatives of internal pressure P inare
equal to zero:
(a) :/parenleftbigg∂Pin
∂Pext/parenrightbigg
T= 0 and ( b) :/parenleftbigg∂Pin
∂T/parenrightbigg
Pext= 0 (6.9)
This condition corresponds to the minima of potential energy, i.e. to the
most stable structure of given matter. In a general case there may be a
few metastable states when conditions (6.9) are fulfilled.
Equation of state (6.7) may be useful for the study of mechani cal properties
of condensed matter and their change under different influenc es.
Differentiation of (6.6) by external pressure gives us at T = const:

∂Pext(Pex+Pin) +Vfr∂Pin
∂Pext=∂Pef

66It is taken into account in (6.13) and (6.19) that
(∂Vexc/∂T)∼=0 (6.20)
because, as has been shown by our computer simulations,
∂α∗/∂T∼=0

It seems that our equation of state (6.7) may be used to study d ifferent
types of external influences (pressure, temperature, elect romagnetic radiation,
deformation, etc.) on the thermodynamic and mechanic prope rties of solids and
liquids.
6.3. Vapor pressure
When a liquid is incubated long enough in a closed vessel at co nstant tem-
perature, then an equilibrium between the liquid and vapor i s attained.
At this moment, the number of molecules evaporated and conde nsed back
to liquid is equal. The same is true of the process of sublimat ion.
There is still no satisfactory quantitative theory for vapor pressure calcula-
tion.
We can suggest such a theory using our notion of superdeformons , represent-
ing the biggest thermal fluctuations (see Table 1 and Introdu ction). The basic
idea is that the external equilibrium vapor pressure is rela ted to internal one
(PS
in) with coefficient determined by the probability of cavitatio nal fluctuations
(superdeformons) in the surface layer of liquids or solids.
In other words due to excitation of superdeformons with prob ability ( PS
D),
the internal pressure ( PS
in) in surface layers, determined by the total contribu-
tions of all intramolecular interactions turns to external one - vapor pressure
(PV). It is something like a compressed spring energy realizati on due to trigger
switching off.
67For taking into account the difference between the surface an d bulk internal
pressure ( Pin) we introduce the semi-empirical surface pressure factor ( qS) as:
PS
in=qSPin−Pext=qS·n2Utot
V0S−Pext (6.24)
where: P incorresponds to eq.(7);S=Tkin/Utotis a total structure factor.
The value of surface factor ( qS) for liquid and solid states is not the same:

is a probability of superdeformons excitation (see eqs. 3.3 7, 3.32 and 3.33).
68We can assume, that the difference in the surface and bulk inte rnal pressure
is determined mainly by difference in total internal energy ( Utot) but not in
kinetic one ( Tk). Then a pressure surface factor could be presented as:
qS=γ2= (Uin/Utot)2
where: γ=US
tot/Utotis the surface energy factor , reflecting the ratio of
surface and bulk total energy.
Theoretical calculated temperature dependences of vapor p ressure, described
by (6.26) coincide very well with experimental ones for wate r atqS
liq= 3.1 (γl=
1.76) and for ice at qS
sol= 18 ( γs= 4.24) (Fig. 15).
The almost five-times difference between qS
solandqS
liqmeans that the surface
properties of ice differ from bulkones much more than for liquid water.
The surface factors qS
liqandqS
solshould be considered as a fit pa-
rameters. The qS=γ2is the only one fit parameter that was used
in our hierarchic mesoscopic theory. Its calculation from t he known
vapor pressure or surface tension can give an important info rmation
itself.
6.4. Surface tension
The resulting surface tension is introduced in our mesoscop ic model as a
sum:
σ= (σtr+σlb) (6.28)
where: σtrandσlbare translational and librational contributions to surfac e
tension. Each of these components can be expressed using our mesoscopic state
equation (6.7), taking into account the difference between s urface and bulk total
energies ( qS), introduced in previous section:

where ( Vef)tr,lbare volumes of primary tr and lib effectons, related to their
concentration ( nef)tr,lbas:
(Vef)tr,lb= (1/nef)tr,lb;
rtr,lb=1
π(Vef)2/3
tr,lb
is an effective radius of the primary translational and libra tional effectons, local-
ized on the surface of condensed matter; qSis the surface factor, equal to that
used in eq.(6.24-6.26); [ Ptot=Pin+Pext] is a total pressure, corresponding to
eq.(6.6); ( Pef)tr,lbis a total probability of primary effecton excitations in the
(a) and (b) states:
69(Pef)tr= (Pa

(Pt)trand (Pt)lbin (29) are the probabilities of corresponding transiton ex cita-
tion;
Pcon=Pac+Pbcis the sum of probabilities of [ a] and [ b]convertons; PcMt=
PacPbcis a probability of Macroconvertons excitation (see Introd uction).
The eq. (6.29) contains the ratio:
(Vef/V2/3
ef)tr,lb=ltr,lb (6.30)
where: ltr= (1/nef)1/3
trandllb= (1/nef)1/3
libare the length of the ribs of the
primary translational and librational effectons, approxim ated by cube.
Using (6.30) and (6.29) the resulting surface tension (6.28 ) can be presented
as:
σ=σtr+σlb=πPtot(qS−1)·/bracketleftbig
(Pef)trltr+ (Pef)llb/bracketrightbig
(Pef+Pt)tr+ (Pef+Pt)lb+ (Pcon+PcMt)(6.31)
where translational component of surface tension is:
σtr=πPtot(qs−1)(Pef)trltr
(Pef+Pt)tr+ (Pef+Pt)lb+ (Pcon+PcMt)(6.32)
and librational component of σis:
σlb=πPtot(qS−1)(Pef)lbllb
(Pef+Pt)lb+ (Pef+Pt)lb+ (Pcon+PcMt)(6.33)
Under the boiling condition when qS→1 as a result of ( US
tot→Utot), then
σtr, σlbandσtends to zero. The maximum depth of the surface layer, which
determines the σlbis equal to the length of edge of cube ( llb), that approximates
the shape of primary librational effectons. It decreases from about 20 ˚A at
00Ctill about 2.5 ˚A at 1000C(see Fig. 4b). Monotonic decrease of ( llb)with
temperature could be accompanied by nonmonotonic change of probabilities of
[lb/tr] convertons and macroconvertons excitations (see c omments to Fig 4a ).
Consequently, the temperature dependence of surface tensi on on temperature
can display anomalies at definite temperatures. This conseq uence of our theory
is confirmed experimentally (Adamson, 1982; Drost-Hansen a nd Lin Singleton,
1992).
The thickness of layer ( ltr), responsible for contribution of translational
effectons in surface tension ( σtr) has the dimension of one molecule in all tem-
perature interval for liquid water.
The results of computer calculations of σ(eq.6.31) for water and experimen-
tal data are presented at Fig.16.
70Fig. 16. Experimental ( ) and theoretical (-- -) temperature
dependences of the surface tension for water, calculated fr om eq.(6.31).
It is obvious, that the correspondence between theory and ex periment is
very good, confirming in such a way the correctness of our mode l and Hierarchic
concept in general.
6.5. Mesoscopic theory of thermal conductivity
Thermal conductivity may be related to phonons, photons, fr ee electrons,
holes and [electron-hole] pairs movement.
We will discuss here only the main type of thermal conductivi ty in condensed
matter, related to phonons.
The analogy with the known formula for thermal conductivity (κ) in the
framework of the kinetic theory for gas is used:
κ=1
3CvvsΛ (6.34)
where C vis the heat capacity of condensed matter, vsis sound velocity, charac-
terizing the speed of phonon propagation in matter, and Λ is t he average length
of free run of phonons.
The value of Λ depends on the scattering and dissipation of ph onons at
other phonons and different types of defects. Usually decrea sing temperature
increases Λ.
Different factors influencing a thermal equilibrium in the sy stem of phonons
are discussed. Among them are the so called U- and N- processe s describing
the types of phonon-phonon interaction. However, the tradi tional theories are
unable to calculate Λ directly.
Mesoscopic theory introduce two contributions to thermal c onductivity: re-
lated to phonons, irradiated by secondary effectons and form ingsecondary
71translational and librational deformons ( κsd)tr,lband to phonons, irradiated by
aandbconvertons [ tr/lb], forming the convertons-induced deformons ( κcd)ac.bc:
κ= (κsd)tr,lb+ (κcd)ac.bc=1
3Cvvs[(Λsd)tr,lb+ (Λ cd)ac,bc] (6.35)
where: free runs of secondary phonons (tr and lb) are represented as:
1/(Λsd)tr,lb= 1/(Λtr) + 1/(Λlb) = (νd)tr/vs+ (νd)lb/vs
consequently:
1/(Λsd)tr,lb=vs
(νd)tr+ (νd)lb(6.36)
and free runs of convertons-induced phonons:
1/(Λcd)ac,bc= 1/(Λac) + 1/(Λbc) = (νac)/vs+ (νbc)/vs
consequently: (Λ sd)tr,lb=vs
(νd)tr+ (νd)lb(6.37)
The heat capacity: CV=∂Utot/∂Tcan be calculated also from our theory (see
Chapter 4 and 5).
Fig. 17. Temperature dependences of total thermal conductiv-
ity for water and contributions, related to acoustic deform ons and
[lb/tr]convertons. The dependences were calculated, using eq. (3 7).
Quantitative calculations show that formula (6.35), based on our mesoscopic
model, works well for water (Fig. 17). It could be used for any other condensed
matter also if positions of translational and librational b ands, sound velocity
and molar volume for this matter at the same temperature inte rval are known.
The small difference between experimental and theoretical d ata can reflect
the contributions of non-phonon process in thermal conduct ivity, related to
macrodeformons, superdeformons and macroconvertons, i.e . big fluctuations.
726.6. Mesoscopic theory of viscosity for liquids and solids
The viscosity is determined by the energy dissipation as a result of medium
(liquid or solid) structure deformation. Viscosity corres ponding to the shift
deformation is named shear viscosity . So- called bulk viscosity is related to
deformation of volume parameters and corresponding dissip ation. These types
of viscosity have not the same values and nature.
The statistical theory of irreversible process leads to the following expression
for shear viscosity (Prokhorov, 1988):
η=nkTτ p+ (µ∞−nkT)τq (6.38)
where [ n] is the concentration of particles, µ∞is the modulus of instant shift
characterizing the instant elastic reaction of medium, τpandτqare the relaxation
times of impulses and coordinates, respectively.
However, eq.(38) is inconvenient for practical purposes du e to difficulties in
determination of τp, τqandµ∞.
Sometimes in a narrow temperature interval the empirical On drade equation
is working:
η=A(T)·exp(β/T) (6.39)
A(T) is a function poorly dependent on temperature.
A good results in study the microviscosity problem were obta ined by com-
bining the model of molecular rotational relaxation and the Kramers equation
(˚Akesson et al., 1991). However, the using of the fit parameter s was necessarily
in this case also.
We present here our mesoscopic theory of viscosity. To this end
the dissipation processes, related to ( A⇋B)tr.lbcycles of translational and li-
brational macroeffectons and (a,b)- convertons excitations were used. The same
approach was employed for elaboration of mesoscopic theory of diffusion in con-
densed matter (see next section).
In contrast to liquid state, the viscosity of solids is determined by the biggest
fluctuations: supereffectons andsuperdeformons , resulting from simultane-
ous excitations of translational and librational macroeffe ctons and macrodefor-
mons in the same volume.
The dissipation phenomena and ability of particles or molec ules to diffusion
are related to the local fluctuations of the free volume (∆ vf)tr,lb. According to
mesoscopic theory, the fluctuations of free volume and that o f density occur in
the almost macroscopic volumes of translational and librat ional macrodeformons
and in mesoscopic volumes of macroconvertons , equal to volume of primary
librational effecton at the given conditions. Translationa l and librational types
of macroeffectons determine two types of viscosity, i.e. tra nslational ( ηtr) and
librational ( ηlb) ones. They can be attributed to the bulk viscosity. The con-
tribution to viscosity, determined by (a and b)- convertons is much more local
and may be responsible for microviscosity and mesoviscosit y.
Let us start from calculation of the additional free volumes (∆vf) originat-
ing from fluctuations of density, accompanied the translati onal and librational
macrodeformons (macrotransitons).
73For 1 mole of condensed matter the following ratio between fr ee volume and
concentration fluctuations is true:
/parenleftbigg∆vf
vf/parenrightbigg
tr,lb=/parenleftbigg∆N0
N0/parenrightbigg
tr,lb(6.40)
where N0is the average number of molecules in 1 mole of matter
and (∆ N0)tr,lb=N0/parenleftbiggPM
D
Z/parenrightbigg
tr,lb(6.41)
is the number of molecules changing their concentration as a result of transla-
tional and librational macrodeformons excitation.
The probability of translational and librational macroeffe ctons excitation
(see eqs. 3.23; 3.24):
/parenleftbiggPM
D
Z/parenrightbigg
tr,lb=1
Zexp/parenleftbigg
−ǫM
D
kT/parenrightbigg
tr,lb(6.42)
where Zis the total partition function of the system.
Putting (6.41) to (6.40) and dividing to Avogadro number ( N0), we obtain
the fluctuating free volume, reduced to 1 molecule of matter:
∆v0
f=∆vf
N0=/bracketleftbiggvf
N0/parenleftbiggPM
D
Z/parenrightbigg/bracketrightbigg
tr,lb(6.43)
It has been shown above (eq.6.19) that the average value of fr ee volume in 1
mole of matter is:
vf=V0/n2
Consequently, for reduced fluctuating (additional) volume we have:
(∆v0
f)tr,lb=V0
N0n21
Zexp/parenleftbigg
−ǫM
D
kT/parenrightbigg
tr,lb(6.44)
Taking into account the dimensions of viscosity and its phys ical sense, it
should be proportional to the work (activation energy) of flu ctuation-dissipation,
necessary for creating the unit of additional free volume: ( EM
D/∆v0
f), and the
period of ( A⇋B)tr.lbcycles of translational and librational macroeffectons
τA⇋B,determined by the life-times of all intermediate states (eq .46).
In turn, the energy of dissipation should be strongly depend ent
on the structural factor (S): the ratio of kinetic energy of m atter to
its total internal energy. We postulate here that this depen dence for
viscosity is cubical: (Tk/Utot)3=S3.
Consequently, the contributions of translational and libr ational macrodefor-
mons to resulting viscosity we present in the following way:
74ηM
tr,lb=/bracketleftBigg
EM
D
∆v0
fτM/parenleftbiggTk
Utot/parenrightbigg3/bracketrightBigg
tr,lb(6.45)
where: reduced fluctuating volume (∆ v0
f) corresponds to (44); the energy of
macrodeformons: [ EM
D=−kT(lnPM
D)]tr,lb.
The cycle-periods of the trandlibmacroeffectons has been introduced as:
/bracketleftbig
τM=τA+τB+τD/bracketrightbig
tr,lb(6.46)
where: characteristic life-times of macroeffectons in A, B- states and that of
transition state in the volume of primary electromagnetic d eformons can be
presented, correspondingly, as follows:
/bracketleftBig
τA= (τaτa)1/2/bracketrightBig
tr,lband/bracketleftBig
τA= (τaτa)1/2/bracketrightBig
tr,lb(6.47)
/bracketleftBig
τD=|(1/τA)−(1/τB)|−1/bracketrightBig
tr,lb
Using (6.47, 6.46 and 6.44) it is possible to calculate the co ntributions of
(A⇋B) cycles of translational and librational macroeffectons to viscosity sep-
arately, using (6.45).
The averaged contribution of Macroexcitations (tr and lb) i n viscosity is:
ηM=/bracketleftbig(η)M
tr(η)M
lb/bracketrightbig1/2(6.48)
The contribution of aandb convertons to viscosity of liquids could be pre-
sented in a similar to (6.44-6.48) manner after substitutin g the parameters of tr
and lb macroeffectons with parameters of a and b convertons:
ηac,bc=/bracketleftBigg

responds to:

N0n21
ZPac,bc (6.50)
where: PacandPbcare the relative probabilities of tr/libinterconversions
between aandbstates of translational and librational primary effectons ( see
Introduction); EacandEbcare the excitation energies of ( aandb) convertons
correspondingly (see section 4 );
75Characteristic life-times for ac-convertons and bc-convertons [ tr/lb] in the
volume of primary librational effectons (”flickering cluste rs”) could be presented
as:
τac= (τa)tr+ (τa)lb= (1/νa)tr+ (1/νa)lb
τbc= (τb)tr+ (τb)lb= (1/νb)tr+ (1/νb)lb(6.51)
The averaged contribution of the both types of convertons in viscosity is:
ηc= (ηacηbc)1/2(6.52)
This contribution could be responsible for microviscosity or better term: meso-
viscosity , related to volumes, equal to that of primary librational eff ectons.
The resulting viscosity (Fig.18) is a sum of the averaged con tributions of
macrodeformons and convertons:
η=ηM+ηc (6.53)
Fig. 18. Theoretical and experimental temperature dependences
of viscosities for water. Computer calculations were perfo rmed using
eqs. (6.44 - 6.53) and (4.3; 4.36).
The best correlation between theoretical and experimental data was achieved
after assuming that only ( π/2 = 2 π/4) part of the period of above described
fluctuation cycles is important for dissipation and viscosi ty. Introducing this
76factor to equations for viscosity calculations gives up ver y good correspondence
between theory and experiment in all temperature interval ( 0-1000C) for water
(Fig.18).
As will be shown below the same factor, introducing the effect ive time of
fluctuations [τ
π/2], leads to best results for self-diffusion coefficient calcul ation.
In the classical hydrodynamic theory the sound absorption c oefficient ( α)
obtained by Stokes includes share ( η) and bulk ( ηb) averaged microviscosity:
α=Ω
2ρv3s/parenleftbigg4
3η+ηb/parenrightbigg
, (6.54)
where Ω is the angular frequency of sound waves; ρis the density of liquid.
Bulk viscosity ( ηb) is usually calculated from the experimental ηandα. It
is known that for water:
(ηb/η)∼3.
The viscosity of solids
In accordance with our model, the biggest fluctuations: supereffectons and
superdeformons (see Introduction) are responsible for viscosity and diffus ion
phenomena in solid state. Superdeformons are accompanied b y the emergency
of cavitational fluctuations in liquids and the defects in so lids. The presentation
of viscosity formula in solids ( ηs) is similar to that for liquids:

Characteristic cycle-period of ( A∗⇋B∗) transition of supereffectons is re-
lated to its life-times in A∗,B∗and transition D∗states (see eq.6.46) as was
shown
τS=τA∗+τB∗+τD∗ (6.56a)
The viscosity of ice, calculated from eq.(6.55) is bigger th an that of water
(eq.6.53) to about 105times. This result is in accordance with available ex-
perimental data.
776.7. Brownian diffusion
The important formula obtained by Einstein in his theory of B rownian mo-
tion is for translational motion of particle:
r2= 6Dt=kT
πηat (6.57)
and that for rotational Brownian motion:
ϕ2=kT
4πηa3t (6.58)
where: a- radius of spherical particle, much larger than dimension o f molecules
of liquid. The coefficient of diffusion [D] for Brownian motion is equal to:
D=kT
6πηa(6.59)
If we take the angle ¯ ϕ2= 1/3 in (6.59), then the corresponding rotational
correlation time comes to the form of the known Stokes- Einst ein equation:
τ=4
3πa31
k/parenleftBigη
T/parenrightBig
(6.60)
All these formulas (6.57 - 6.60) include macroscopic share v iscosity ( η) corre-
sponding to our (6.53). In terms of our model, the Brownian mo vement is a
consequence of macrodeformons and convertons. Putting our formula (6.53)
for viscosity of liquid into (6.57 - 6.59), we get the possibi lity of quantitative
analysis of corresponding parameters, using our computer p rogram.
6.8. Self-diffusion in liquids and solids
Molecular theory of self-diffusion, as well as general conce pt oftransfer phe-
nomena in condensed matter is extremely important, but still unres olved prob-
lem.
Simple semi-empirical approach developed by Frenkel leads to following ex-
pression for diffusion coefficient in liquid and solid:
D=a2
τ0exp(−W/kT ) (6.61)
where [a] is the distance of fluctuation jump; τ0∼(10−12÷10−13)sis the
average period of molecule oscillations between jumps; W - a ctivation energy of
jump.
The parameters: a,τ0andWshould be considered as a fit parameters.
In accordance with mesoscopic theory , the process of self-diffusion in
liquids,like that of viscosity , described above, is determined by two contribu-
tions:
78a) the collective, nonlocal contribution , related to translational and
librational macrodeformons ( Dtr,lb);
b) the local contribution, related to coherent clusters flickering: [dissocia-
tion/association] of primary librational effectons ( aandb)- convertons ( Dac,bc).
Each component of the resulting coefficient of self-diffusion (D) in liquid
could be presented as the ratio of fluctuation volume cross-s ection surface:
[∆v0
f]2/3to the period of macrofluctuation ( τ). The first contribution to co-
efficient D,produced by translational and librational macrodeformons is:
Dtr,lb=/bracketleftbigg/parenleftbig

τM/bracketrightbigg
tr,lb(6.62)
where: the surface cross-sections of reduced fluctuating fr ee volumes (see
eq.43) fluctuations in composition of macrodeformons ( tr and lb) are:

(6.63)
(τM)tr,lbare the characteristic ( A⇔B) cycle-periods of translational and li-
brational macroeffectons (see eqs. 6.46 and 6.47).
The averaged component of self-diffusion coefficient, which t akes into ac-
count both types of nonlocal fluctuations, related to transl ational and librational
macroeffectons and macrodeformons, can be find as:
DM= [(D)M
tr(D)M
lb]1/2(6.64)
The formulae for the second, local contribution to self-diff usion in
liquids, related to ( aandb) convertons ( Dac,bc) are symmetrical by form to
that, presented above for nonlocal processes:
Dac,bc=/bracketleftbigg
(∆v0

ac,bc(6.65)
where: reduced fluctuating free volume of ( aandb) convertons (∆ v0

(∆v0
f)ac,bc=V0
N0n21
ZPac,bc (6.66)
where: PacandPbcare the relative probabilities of tr/libinterconversions
between aandbstates of translational and librational primary effectons ( see
Introduction and section 4)
The averaged local component of self-diffusion coefficient, w hich takes into
account both types of convertons ( acandbc) is:
DC= [(D)ac(D)bc]1/2(6.67)
79In similar way we should take into account the contribution o f macroconver-
tons ( DMc):
DMc=/parenleftbiggV0
N0n21
ZPMc/parenrightbigg2/31
τMc(6.67a)
where: PMc=Pac·Pbcis a probability of macroconvertons excitation;
the life-time of macroconvertons is:
τMc= (τacτbc)1/2(6.67b)
The cycle-period of ( ac) and ( bc) convertons are determined by the sum of
life-times of intermediate states of primary translationa l and librational effec-
tons:
τac= (τa)tr+ (τa)lb; and τbc= (τb)tr+ (τb)lb (6.67c)
The life-times of primary and secondary effectons (lb and tr) ina- and b-
states are the reciprocal values of corresponding state fre quencies:
[τa= 1/νa;τa= 1/νa; and τb= 1/νb;τb= 1/νb]tr,lb (6.67d)
[νaandνb]tr,lbcorrespond to eqs. 4.8 and 4.9; [ νaandνb]tr,lbcould be calculated
using eqs.2.54 and 2.55.
The resulting coefficient of self-diffusion in liquids (D) is a sum of nonlocal
(DM) and local ( Dc, DMc) effects contributions (see eqs.6.64 and 6.67):
D=DM+Dc+DMc (6.68)
The effective fluctuation-times were taken the same as in prev ious section for
viscosity calculation, using the correction factor [( π/2)τ].
80Fig. 19. Theoretical and experimental temperature dependences
of self-diffusion coefficients in water. Theoretical coefficie nt was cal-
culated using eq. 6.68.
Like in the cases of thermal conductivity, viscosity and vap or pressure, the
results of theoretical calculations of self-diffusion coeffi cient coincide well with
experimental data for water (Fig. 19) in temperature interv al (0−1000C).
The self-diffusion in solids
In solid state only the biggest fluctuations: superdeformons, representing
simultaneous excitation of translational and librational macrodeformons in the
same volumes of matter are responsible for diffusion and the v iscosity phenom-
ena. They are related to origination and migration of the def ects in solids. The
formal presentation of superdeformons contribution to sel f-diffusion in solids
(Ds) is similar to that of macrodeformons for liquids:
DS= (∆v0
f)2/3
S1
τS(6.69)
where: reduced fluctuating free volume in composition of sup erdeformons

N0n21
ZPS (6.70)
where: PS= (PM
D)tr(PM
D)lbis the relative probability of superdeformons,
equal to product of probabilities of tr and lb macrodeformons excitation (see
6.42).
Characteristic cycle-period of supereffectons is related t o that of tr and lb
macroeffectons like it was presented in eq.(6.56a):
τs=τA∗+τB∗+τD∗ (6.71)
The self-diffusion coefficient for ice, calculated from eq.6. 69 is less than that
of water (eq.6.53) to about 105times. This result is in accordance with available
experimental data.
Strong decreasing of D in a course of phase transition: [wate r→ice] pre-
dicted by our mesoscopic theory also is in accordance with ex periment (Fig.
20).
81Fig. 20. Theoretical temperature dependences of self-
diffusion coefficients in ice.
All these results allow to consider our hierarchic theory of transfer phe-
nomena as a quantitatively confirmed one. They point that the ”mesoscopic
bridge” between Micro- and Macro Worlds is wide and reliable indeed. It gives
a new possibilities for understanding and detailed descrip tion of very different
phenomena in solids and liquids.
One of the advantages of our theory of viscosity and diffusion
is the possibility of explaining numerous nonmonotonic tem perature
changes, registered by a number of physicochemical methods in var-
ious aqueous systems during the study of temperature depend ences
(Drost-Hansen, 1976; 1992; Johri and Roberts, 1990; Aksnes , Asaad,
1989; Aksnes, Libnau, 1991; Kaivarainen, 1985; Kaivaraine n et al.,
1993).
Lot of them are related to diffusion or viscosity processes an d may be ex-
plained by nonmonotonic changes of the refraction index, in cluded in our equa-
tions: (6.44, 6.45, 6.50) for viscosity and eqs. (6.69, 6.70 ) for self-diffusion.
For water these temperature anomalies of refraction index w ere revealed experi-
mentally, using few wave lengths in the temperature interva l 3−950(Frontasev,
Schreiber, 1966). They are close to Drost-Hansen temperatu res. The explana-
tion of these effects, related to periodic variation of prima ry librational effectons
stability with monotonic temperature change was presented as a comments to
Fig.4a.
Another consequence of our theory is the elucidation of a big difference be-
tween librational ηlb(6.48), translational ηtr(6.45) viscosities and mesoviscosity,
determined by [ lb/tr] convertons (6.49 and 6.52).
The effect of mesoviscosity can be checked as long as the volum e of a Brow-
nian particle does not exceed much the volume of primary libr ational effectons
82(eq. 6.15). If we take a Brownian particle, much bigger than t he librational pri-
mary effecton, then its motion will reflect only averaged shar e viscosity (eq.6.53).
The third consequence of the mesoscopic theory of viscosity is the prediction
of nonmonotonic temperature behavior of the sound absorpti on coefficient α
(6.51). Its temperature dependence must have anomalies in t he same regions,
where the refraction index has.
The experimentally revealed temperature anomalies of (n) a lso follow from
our theory as a result of nonmonotonic ( a⇔b)lbequilibrium behavior, stabil-
ity of primary lb effectons and probability of [lb/tr] conver tons excitation (see
Discussion to Fig.4a ).
Our model predicts also that in the course of transition from the laminar
type of flow to the turbulent one the share viscosity ( η) will increases due to
increasing of structural factor ( Tk/Utot) in eq. 6.45.
The superfluidity ( η→0) in the liquid helium could be a result of inabil-
ity of this liquid at the very low temperature for translatio nal and librational
macroeffectons excitations, i.e. τM→0.
In turn, it is a consequence of tending to zero the life-times of secondary
effectons and deformons in eq.(6.45), responsible for dissi pation processes, due
to their Bose-condensation and transformation to primary o nes (Kaivarainen
1998). The polyeffectons, stabilized by Josephson’s juncti ons between primary
effectons form the superfluid component of liquid helium.
7. Osmose and solvent activity.
Traditional and mesoscopic approach
It was shown by Van’t Hoff in 1887 that osmotic pressure (Π) in t he dilute
concentration of solute (c) follows a simple expression:
Π = RTc (7.1)
This formula can be obtained from an equilibrium condition between a solvent
and an ideal solution after saturation of diffusion process o f the solvent through
a semipermeable membrane:
µ0
1(P) =µ1(P+ Π, Xi)
where µ0
1andµ1are the chemical potentials of a pure solvent and a solvent in
solution; P- external pressure; Π - osmotic pressure; X1is the solvent fraction
in solution.
At equilibrium dµ0
1=dµ1= 0 and
dµ1=/bracketleftbigg∂µ1
∂P1/bracketrightbigg
X1dP1+/bracketleftbigg∂µ1
∂X1/bracketrightbigg
P1dX1= 0 (7.1a)
Because
µ1=/parenleftbig

P,T=µ0

83then
/parenleftbigg∂µ1

X1=/parenleftbigg∂2G
∂P∂n 1/parenrightbigg
P,T,X=/parenleftbigg∂V
∂n1/parenrightbigg
=V1 (7.3)
where V1is the partial molar volume of the solvent. For dilute soluti on:¯V1≃
V0
1(molar volume of pure solvent).
From (7.2) we have:
∂µ1
∂X1=RT/parenleftbigg∂lnX1
∂X1/parenrightbigg
P,T(7.4)
Putting (7.3) and (7.4) into (7.1a) we obtain:
dP1=−RT
V0
1X1dX1
Integration:
p+π/integraldisplay
PdP1=−RT
V0
1x1/integraldisplay
1dlnX1 (7.5)
gives:
Π =−RT
V0
1lnX1=−RT
V0
1ln(1−X2) (7.6)
and for the dilute solution ( X2≪1) we finally obtain Van’t Hoff equation:
Π =RT
V0
1X2∼=RTn2/n1
V0
1= RTc (7.7)
where
X2=n2/(n1+n2)∼=n2/n1 (7.8)
and
n2/n1
V0
1=c (7.9)
Considering a real solution, we only substitute solvent fra ction X1in (7.6) by
solvent activity: X1→a1. Then taking into account (7.2), we can express
osmotic pressure as follows:
84Π =−RT
¯V1lna1=∆µ1
¯V1(7.10)
where: ∆ µ1=µ0
1-µ1is the difference between the chemical potentials of a
pure solvent and the one perturbed by solute at the starting m oment of osmotic
process, i.e. the driving force of osmose; ¯V1∼=V1is the molar volume of solvent
at dilute solutions.
Although the osmotic effects are widespread in Nature and are very impor-
tant, especially in biology, the physical mechanism of osmo se remains unclear
(Watterson, 1992).
The explanation following from Van’t Hoff equation (7.7) and pointing that
osmotic pressure is equal to that induced by solute molecule s, if they are consid-
ered as an ideal gas in the same volume at a given temperature i s not satisfactory.
The osmoses phenomenon can be explained quantitatively on t he
basis of our mesoscopic theory and state equation (see 6.6 an d 6.7).
To this end, we have to introduce the rules of conservation of the
main internal parameters of solvent in the presence of guest (solute)
molecules or particles:
1. Internal pressure of solvent: Pin= const
2. The total energy of solvent: Utot= const/bracerightbigg
(7.11)
This conservation rules can be considered as the consequenc e of Le Chatelier
principle.
Using (6.6), we have for the pure solvent and the solvent pert urbed by a
solute the following two equations, respectively:
Pin=Utot
V0
fr/parenleftbigg
1 +V
Tk/parenrightbigg
−Pext (7.12)
P1
in=U1

where:

fr=V0
n2
1(7.14)
are the free volumes of pure solvent and solvent in presence o f solute (guest)
molecules as a ratio of molar volume of solvent to correspond ent value of refrac-
tion index.
The equilibrium conditions after osmotic process saturation , leading from
our conservation rules (7.11) are
Pin=Pinwhen Pext=Pext+ Π (7.15)
Utot=V+Tk=V1+T1
k=U1
tot (7.16)
85From (7.16) we have:
Dif = Tk−T1
k=V1−V (7.17)
The index(1)denote perturbed solvent parameters.
Comparing (7.12) and (7.13) and taking into account (7.14 - 7 .16), we obtain
a new formula for osmotic pressure:
Π =n2
V0Utot/bracketleftbiggn2
1Tk−n2T1

(7.18)
where: n, V0, UtotandTkare the refraction index, molar volume, total
energy and total kinetic energy of a pure solvent, respectiv ely;T∗
kandn1are
the total kinetic energy and refraction index of the solvent in the presence of
guest (solute) molecules; TkandT∗
kcan be calculated from our theory (eq.4.36).
For the case of dilute solutions, when TkT1
k∼=T2
kandn∼=n1,the eq.(7.18)
can be simplified:
Π =n2
V0/parenleftbiggUtot
Tk/parenrightbigg2/parenleftbig
Tk−T1
k/parenrightbig
(7.19)
or using (7.17):
Π =n2
V0/parenleftbiggUtot
Tk/parenrightbigg2
(V1−V) (7.20)
The ratio:
S=Tk/Utot (7.21)
is generally known as a structural factor.
We can see from (7.19) and (7.20) that osmotic pressure is pro portional to
the difference between total kinetic energy of a free solvent (Tk) and that of the
solvent perturbed by guest molecules:
∆Tk=Tk−T1
k
or related difference between the total potential energy of p erturbed and pure
solvent:
∆V=V1−Vwhere: ∆ Tk= ∆V≡Dif (see Fig. 21).
As far ∆T k>0 and ∆ V >0, it means that:
Tk> T1
k
or
V1> V(7.22)
86Theoretical temperature dependence of the difference
Dif= ∆Tk= ∆V

The next Fig. 22 illustrate theoretical temperature depend ence of osmotic
pressure (7.20) in blood at the constant value of Dif= 6.7·10−3(J/M), corre-
sponding on Fig. 21 to physiological temperature (370).
The ratios of this Difvalue to total potential (V) and total kinetic energy
(Tk) of pure water at 370(see Fig. 21) are equal to:
(Dif/V)≃6.7·10−3
1.3·104∼=5·10−7and
(Dif/Tk)≃6.7·10−3
3.5·102∼=2·10−5
i.e. the relative changes of the solvent potential and kinet ic energies are very
small.
Fig. 21. Theoretical temperature dependence of the difference:
Dif=V1−V=Tk−T1
kat constant osmotic pressure: Π ≡Pos=
8 atm., characteristic for blood. The computer calculation s were
performed using eqs. (7.19) or (7.20).
For each type of concentrated macromolecular solutions the optimum amount
of water is needed to minimize the potential energy of the sys temdetermined
mainly by clusterphilic interactions. The conservation ru les (7.11) and self-
organization in solutions of macromolecules (clustron for mation) may be respon-
sible for the driving force of osmose in the different compartments of biological
cells.
Comparing (7.20) and (7.10) and assuming equality of the mol ar volumes
V0=¯V1, we find a relation between the difference in potential energi es and
chemical potentials (∆ µ) of unperturbed solvent and that perturbed by the
solute:

The results obtained above mean that solvent activity (a1)and a lot

on the basis of our hierarchic concept:

The molar coefficient of activity is:

where
ci=ni/V (7.26)
is the molar quantity of i-component ( ni) in of solution (V - solution volume

The molar activity of the solvent in solution is related to it s vapor pressure
(Pi) as:
ai=Pi/P0

where: P0
iis the vapor pressure of the pure solvent. Theoretical tempe rature
dependence of water activity ( a1) in blood at constant difference: Dif = ∆ T=

Another colligative parameter such as low temperature shift of freezing tem-
perature of the solvent (∆ Tf) in the presence of guest molecules also can be
calculated from (7.24) and the known relation (7.28a) betwe en water activity in

89An analogous equation exists for the solute of this solution as well as for partial
molar volume and other important parameters of the solvent, including solvent
activity (Godnev et al., 1982).
It is obvious, the application of Hierarchic theory to solve nt activ-
ity evaluation might be of practical importance for differen t processes
in chemical and colloid technology.
8. New approach to theory of light refraction
8.1. Refraction in gas
If the action of photons onto electrons of molecules is consi dered as a force,
activating a harmonic oscillator with decay, it leads to the known classical equa-
tions for a complex refraction index (Vuks, 1984).
The Lorentz-Lorenz formula obtained in such a way is conveni ent for prac-
tical needs. However, it does not describe the dependence of refraction index
on the incident light frequency and did not take into account the intermolecular
interactions. In the new theory proposed below we have tried to clear up the
relationship between these parameters.
Our basic idea is that the dielectric penetrability of matte rǫ, (equal in the
optical interval of frequencies to the refraction index squ aredn2), is determined
by the ratio of partial volume energies of photon in vacuum to similar volume
energy of photon in matter:
ǫ=n2=[E0
p]
[Emp]=mpc2
mpc2m=c2
c2m(8.1)
where mp=hνp/c2is the effective photon mass, cis the light velocity in
vacuum, cmis the effective light velocity in matter.
We introduce the notion of partial volume energy of a photon
in vacuum [E0
p]and in matter [Em
p]as a product of photon energy
(Ep=hνp)and the volume (Vp)occupied by 3D standing wave of
photon in vacuum and in matter, correspondingly:
[E0
p] =EpV0
p [Em
p] =EpVm
p (8.2)
The 3D standing photon volume as an interception volume of 3 d ifferent
standing photons normal to each other was termed in our mesos copic model as
a primary electromagnetic deformon (see Introduction).
In vacuum, where the effect of an excluded volume due to the spa tial incom-
patibility of electron shells of molecules and photon is abs ent, the volume of 3 D
photon standing wave (primary deformon) is:
V0
p=1
np=3λ2
p
8π(8.3)
90We will consider the interaction of light with matter in this mesoscopic volume,
containing a thousands of molecules of condensed matter. It is the reason why
we titled this theory of light refraction as mesoscopic one.
Putting (8.3) into (8.2), we obtain the formula for the parti al volume energy
of a photon in vacuum:
[E0
p] =EpV0
p=hνp9λ2
p
8π=9
4/planckover2pi1cλ2
p (8.4)
Then we proceed from the assumption that waves B of photons ca n not
exist with waves B of electrons, forming the shells of atoms a nd molecules in
the same space elements. Hence, the effect of excluded volume appears during
the propagation of an external electromagnetic wave throug h the matter. It
leads to the fact that in matter the volume occupied by a photo n, is equal to
Vm
p=V0
p−Vex
p=V0
p−np
M·VM
e (8.5)
where Vex
p=np
MVM
eis the excluded volume which is equal to the product of
the number of molecules in the volume of one photon standing w ave (np
M) and
the volume occupied by the electron shell of one molecule ( VM
e).

Mis determined by the product of the volume of the photons 3D st anding
wave in the vacuum (8.3) and the concentration of molecules ( nM=N0/V0):

In the absence of the polarization by the external field and in termolecular in-
teraction, the volume occupied by electrons of the molecule :

where Leis the radius of the most probable wave B(Le=λe/2π) of the outer
electron of a molecule. As it has been shown in (7.5) that the m ean molecule
polarizability is:
α=L3
e (8.8)
Then taking (8.7) and (8.6) into account, the excluded volum e of primary elec-
tromagnetic deformon in the matter is:
Vex
p=9λ3
p
8πnM4
3πα=3
2λ3
pnMα (8.9)
Therefore, the partial volume energy of a photon in the vacuu m is determined
by eq.(8.4), while that in matter, according to (8.5):
[Em
p] =EpVm
p=Ep[V0
p−Vex
p] (8.10)
91Putting (8.4) and (8.10) into (8.1) we obtain:
ǫ=n2=EpV0
p
Ep(V0p−Vexp)(8.11)
or
1
n2= 1−Vex
p
V0(8.12)
Then, putting eq.(8.9) and (8.3) into (8.12) we derive new
equation for refraction index, leading from our mesoscopic
theory:
1
n2= 1−4
3πnMα (8.13)
or in another form:
n2−1
n2=4
3πnMα=4
3πN0
V0α (8.14)
where: nM=N0/V0is a concentration of molecules;
In this equation α=L3
eis the average static polarizability of molecules
for the case when the external electromagnetic fields as well as intermolecular
interactions inducing the additional polarization are abs ent. This situation is
realized at Ep=hνp→0 and λp→ ∞ in the gas phase. As will be shown
below the value of resulting α∗in condensed matter is bigger.
8.2. Light refraction in liquids and solids
According to the Lorentz classical theory, the electric com ponent of the outer
electromagnetic field is amplified by the additional inner fie ld (Ead), related to
the interaction of induced dipole moments in composition of condensed matter
with each other:
Ead=n2−1
3E (8.15)
The mean Lorentz acting field ¯Fcan be expressed as:
F=E+Ead=n2+ 2
3E(atn→1,F→E) (8.16)
¯F- has a dimensions of electric field tension and tends to E in th e gas phase
when n→1.
92In accordance with our model, beside the Lorentz acting field , the total
internal acting field, includes also two another contributi ons, increasing the
molecules polarizability ( α) in condensed matter:
1. Potential intermolecular field, including all the types o f Van- der-Waals
interactions in composition of coherent collective excita tions, even without ex-
ternal electromagnetic field. Like total potential energy o f matter, this contri-
bution must be dependent on temperature and pressure;
2. Primary internal field, related with primary electromagn etic deformons
(tr and lb). This component of the total acting field also exis t without external
fields. Its frequencies corresponds to IR range and its actio n is much weaker
than the action of the external visible light.
Let us try to estimate the energy of the total acting field and i ts effective
frequency ( νf) and wavelength ( λf), that we introduce as:
Af=hνf=hc
λf=AL+AV+AD (8.17)
where: AL, AVandADare contributions, related with Lorentz field, po-
tential field and primary deformons field correspondingly.
When the interaction energy of the molecule with a photon ( Ep=hνp)
is less than the energy of the resonance absorption, then it l eads to elastic
polarization of the electron shell and origination of secon dary photons, i.e. light
scattering. We assume in our consideration that the increme nt of polarization of
a molecule ( α) under the action of the external photon ( hνp) and the total active
field ( Af=hνf) can be expressed through the increase of the most probable
radius of the electron’s shell ( Le=α1/3), using our (eq. 7.6 from [Kaivarainen,
1995, 2000]):
∆Le=ωpme
2/planckover2pi1α (8.18)
where the resulting increment:
∆L∗= ∆Le+ ∆Lf=(hνp+Af)me
2/planckover2pi12α (8.18a)
where: α=L3
eis the average polarizability of molecule in gas phase at νf→
0.
For water molecule in the gas phase:
Le=α1/3= 1.13·10−10m
is a known constant, determined experimentally [4].
The total increment of polarizability radius (∆ L∗) and resulting polarizabil-
ity of molecules ( α∗) in composition of condensed matter affected by the acting
field
α∗= (L∗)3(8.18b)
can be find from the experimental refraction index (n) using o ur formula (8.14):
93L∗= (α∗)1/3=/bracketleftbigg3
4πV0
N0n2−1
n2/bracketrightbigg1/3
(8.19)
∆L∗=L∗−Le (8.20)
from (8.18) we get a formula for the increment of radius of pol arizability (∆ Lf),
induced by the total internal acting field:
∆Lf= ∆L∗−∆Le=Afme
2/planckover2pi12α (8.21)
Like total internal acting field energy (8.17), this total ac ting increment
can be presented as a sum of contributions, related to Lorent z field (∆ LF),
potential field (∆ LV) and primary deformons field (∆ LD):
∆Lf= ∆LL+ ∆LV+ ∆LD (8.22)
Increment ∆ Le, induced by external photon only, can be calculated from the
known frequency ( νp) of the incident light (see 8.18a):
∆Le=hνpme
2/planckover2pi12α (8.23)
It means that ∆ Lfcan be found from (8.21) and (8.17), using (8.23). Then
from (8.21) we can calculate the energy ( Af), effective frequency ( νf) and wave
length ( λf) of the total acting field like:
Af=hνf=hc/λ f= 2∆Lf/planckover2pi12
meα(8.24)
The computer calculations of α∗;L∗=Le+ ∆L∗= (α∗)1/3andAfin the
temperature range (0 −950) are presented on Fig.24.
One must keep in mind that in general case αandLare tensors. It means
that all the increments, calculated on the base of eq.(8.18a ) must be considered
as the effective ones. Nevertheless, it is obvious that our ap proach to analysis
of the acting field parameters can give useful additional inf ormation about the
properties of transparent condensed matter.
94Fig. 24. (a)- Temperature dependencies of the most probable
outer electron shell radius of H2O(L∗) and the effective polarizabil-
ityα∗= (L∗)3in the total acting field (eq. 8.19);
(b)- Temperature dependence of the total acting field ( Af) en-
ergy (8.24) in water at the wavelength of the incident light λp=
5.461·10−5cm−1. The experimental data for refraction index n(t)
were used in calculations. The initial electron shell radiu s is:Le=
α1/3
H2O= 1.13·10−8cm. In graphical calculations in Fig.24a, the
used experimental temperature dependence of the water refr action
index were obtained by Frontas’ev and Schreiber (1966).
The temperature dependencies of these parameters were comp uted using the
known experimental data on refraction index n(t) for water and presented in
Fig.24a. The radius L∗in the range 0 −950Cincreases less than by 1% at
constant incident light wavelength ( λ= 546 .1nm). The change of ∆ Lfwith
temperature is determined by its potential field component c hange ∆ LV.
The relative change of this component: ∆∆ LV/∆Lf(t= 00C) is about
9%. Corresponding to this change the increasing of the actin g field energy
Af(eq.8.23) increases approximately by 8 kJ/M (Fig 8.1 b) due to its potential
field contribution.
It is important that the total potential energy of water in th e same tempera-
ture range, according to our calculations, increase by the s ame magnitude (Fig.
3b). This fact points to the strong correlation between pote ntial intermolecular
interaction in matter and the value of the acting field energy .
It was calculated that, at constant temperature (200) the energy of the acting
field ( Af),(eq.8.23) in water practically does not depend on the wavele ngth of
incident light ( λp). At more than three time alterations of λp: from 12 .56·
10−5cmto 3.03·10−5cmwhen the water refraction index ( n) changes from
1.320999 to 1.358100 (Kikoin, 1976), the value of Afchanges less than by 1%.
At the same conditions the electron shell radius L∗and the acting polar-
izability α∗thereby increase from (1.45 to 1.5) ·10−10m and from (3.05 to
3.274)·10−30m3respectively (Fig.25). These changes are due to the inciden t
photons action only. For water molecules in the gas phase and λp→ ∞ the
initial polarizability ( α=L3
e) is equal to 1 .44·10−24cm3(Eisenberg, Kauz-
mann,1969), i.e. significantly less than in condensed matte r under the action of
external and internal fields.
Obviously, the temperature change of energy Af(Fig.24b) is determined by
the internal pressure increasing (section ..), related to i ntermolecular interaction
change, depending on mean distances between molecules and, hence, on the
concentration ( N0/V0) of molecules in condensed matter.
95Fig. 25. Dependencies of the acting polarizability α∗= (L∗)3
and electron shell radius of water in the acting field ( L∗) on incident
light wavelength ( λp), calculated from eq. (8.14) and experimental
datan(λp) (Kikoin, 1976). The initial polarizability of H2Oin the
gas phase at λp→ ∞ is equal to α=L3
e= 1.44·10−24cm3. The
corresponding initial radius of the H2Oelectron shell is Le= 1.13·
10−8cm.
On the basis of our data, changes of Af,calculated from (8.24) are caused
mainly by the heat expansion of the matter. The photon induce d increment of
the polarizability ( α→α∗) practically do not change Af.
The ability to obtain new valuable information about change s of molecule po-
larizability under the action of incident light and about te mperature dependent
molecular interaction in condensed medium markedly reinfo rce such a widely
used method as refractometry.
The above defined relationship between the molecule polariz ability and the
wave length of the incident light allows to make a new endeavo r to solve the
light scattering problems.
9. Mesoscopic theory of Brillouin light scattering in conde nsed
matter
9.1. Traditional approach
According to traditional concept, light scattering in liqu ids and crystals as
well as in gases takes place due to random heat fluctuations. I n condensed media
the fluctuations of density, temperature and molecule orien tation are possible.
Density ( ρ) fluctuations leading to dielectric penetrability ( ǫ) fluctuations
are of major importance. This contribution is estimated by m eans of Einstein
formula for scattering coefficient of liquids:
R=Ir2
I0V=π
2λ4kTβ T/parenleftbigg
ρ∂ǫ
∂ρ/parenrightbigg
T(9.1)
96where βTis isothermal compressibility.
Many authors made attempts to find a correct expression for th e variable
(ρ∂ǫ
∂ρ).
The formula derived by Vuks (1977, 1984) is most consistent w ith experi-
mental data:
ρ∂ǫ
∂ρ= (n2−1)3n2
2n2−1(9.2)
9.2. Fine structure of scattering
The fine structure - spectrum of the scattering in liquids is r epresented by
two Brillouin components with frequencies shifted relativ ely from the incident
light frequency: ν±=ν0±∆νand one unshifted band like in gases ( ν0).
The shift of the Brillouin components is caused by the Dopple r effect result-
ing from a fraction of photons scattering on phonons moving a t sound speed in
two opposite directions.
This shift can be explained in different way as well (Vuks, 197 7). If in the
antinodes of the standing wave the density oscillation occu rs at frequency (Ω):
ρ=ρ0cosΩt, (9.3)
then the scattered wave amplitude will change at the same fre quency. Such a
wave can be represented as a superposition of two monochroma tic waves having
the frequencies:( ω+ Ω) and ( ω−Ω), where
Ω = 2 πf (9.4)
is the elastic wave frequency at which scattering occurs whe n the Wolf-Bragg
condition is satisfied:
2Λ sin ϕ= 2Λ sinθ
2=λ′(9.5)
or
Λ =λ′/(2 sinθ
2) =c
nν(2 sinθ
2) =vph/f (9.6)
where Λ is the elastic wave length corresponding to the frequ encyf;λ′=
λ/n=c/nν(λ′andλare the incident light wavelength in matter and vacuum,
respectively); ϕis the angle of sliding; θis the angle of scattering; n is the
refraction index of matter; cis the light speed.
The value of Brillouin splitting is represented as:
±∆νM−B=f=Vph
Λ= 2νVph
cnsinθ
2(9.7)
97where: νn/c= 1/λ;nis the refraction index of matter; νis incident light
frequency;
vph=vS (9.8)
is the phase velocity of a scattering wave equal to hypersoni c velocity.
The formula (9.7) is identical to that obtained from the anal ysis of the
Doppler effect:
∆ν
ν=±2VS
cnsinθ
2(9.9)
According to the classical theory, the central line, which i s analogous to
that observed in gases, is caused by entropy fluctuations in l iquids, without any
changes of pressure (Vuks, 1977). On the basis of Frenkel the ory of liquid state,
the central line can be explained by fluctuations of ”hole” nu mber - cavitational
fluctuations (Theiner, 1969).
The thermodynamic approach of Landau and Plachek leads to th e formula,
which relates the intensities of the central (I) and two late ral (IM−B) lines of
the scattering spectrum with compressibility and heat capa cities:
I
2IM−B=Ip
Iad=βT−βS
βS=Cp−Cv
Cv(9.10)
where: βTandβSare isothermal and adiabatic compressibilities; CpandCv
are isobaric and isohoric heat capacities.
In crystals, quartz for example, the central line in the fine s tructure of light
scattering is usually absent or very small. However, instea d of one pair of shifted
components, observed in liquids, there appear three Brillouin components in
crystals. One of them used to be explained by scattering on th e longitudinal
phonons, and two - by scattering on the transversal phonons.
9.3. New mesoscopic approach to problem
In follows from our hierarchic theory that the thermal ”rand om” fluctuations
are ”organized” by different types of superimposed quantum e xcitations.
According to our Hierarchic model, including microscopic, mesoscopic and
macroscopic scales of matter (see Introduction), the most p robable (primary)
and mean (secondary) effectons, translational and libratio nal are capable of
quantum transitions between two discreet states: ( a⇔b)tr,lband (¯a⇔¯b)tr,lb
respectively. These transitions lead to origination/anni hilation of photons and
phonons, forming primary and secondary deformons.
The mean heat energy of molecules is determined by the value o f 3kT, which
as our calculations show, has the intermediate value betwee n the discreet en-
ergies of a and b quantum states of primary effectons (Fig...) , making, con-
sequently, the non-equilibrium conditions in condensed ma tter. Such kind of
instability is a result of ”competition” between classical and quantum distribu-
tions of energy .
98The maximum deviations from thermal equilibrium and that of the dielec-
tric properties of matter occur when the same states of prima ry and secondary
quasiparticles, e.g. a,¯ aandb,¯boccur simultaneously. Such a situation corre-
sponds to the A and B states of macroeffectons. The ( A⇔B)tr,lbtransitions
represent thermal fluctuations. The big density fluctuation s are related to ”flick-
ering clusters” (macroconvertons between librational and translational primary
effectons) and the maximum fluctuations correspond to Superd eformons.
Only in the case of spatially independent fluctuations the in ter-
ference of secondary scattered photons does not lead to thei r total
compensation.
The probability of the event that two spatially uncorrelate d events coincide
in time is equal to the product of their independent probabil ities.
Thus, the probabilities of the coherent ( a,¯ a) and ( b,¯b) states of primary and
secondary effectons, corresponding to A and B states of the ma croeffectons (tr
and lb), independent on each other, are equal to:

The polarizability of anisotropic molecules having no cubi c symmetry is a
tensor. In this case, total scattering (R) consists of scatt ering at density fluctua-
tions ( Riso) and scattering at fluctuations of the anisotropy/parenleftBig

The factor:
/parenleftbigg6 + 6∆
6−7∆/parenrightbigg
=K
101was obtained by Cabanne and is called after him. In the case of isotropic
molecules when ∆ = 0, the Cabanne factor is equal to 1.
The depolarization coefficient (∆) could be determined exper imentally as
the ratio:
∆ =Ix/Iz, (9.26)
where IxandIzare two polarized components of the beam scattered at right
angle with respect to each other in which the electric vector is directed parallel
and perpendicular to the incident beam, respectively. For e xample, in water
∆ = 0 .09 (Vuks, 1977).
According to the proposed theory of light scattering in liqu ids the central un-
shifted (like in gases) component of the Brillouin scatteri ng spectrum, is caused
by fluctuations of concentration and self-diffusion of molec ules, participating in
the convertons, macrodeformons (tr and lib) and superdefor mons. The scatter-
ing coefficients of the central line ( Rcentr) and side lines (2 Rside) in transparent
condensed matter, as follows from (9.24) and (9.25), are equ al correspondingly
to:

The total coefficient of light scattering is:
Rt=Rcent+ 2Rside (9.28)
In accordance with our model the fluctuations of anisotropy ( Cabanne factor)
should be taken into account for calculations of the central component only. The
orientations of molecules in composition of A and B states of Macroeffectons are
correlated and their coherent oscillations are not accompa nied by fluctuations
of anisotropy of polarizability (see Fig.26).
The probabilities of the convertons, macrodeformons and su perdeformons
excitations in crystals are much lower than in liquids and he nce, the central line
in the Brillouin spectra of crystals is not usually observed .
The lateral lines in Brillouin spectra are caused by the scat tering on the
molecules forming (A) and (B) states of spatially independe nt macroeffectons,
as it was mentioned above.
The polarizabilities of the molecules forming the independ ent macroeffec-
tons, synchronized in (A) tr,lband (B)tr,lbstates and dielectric properties of
these states, differ from each other and from that of transiti on states (macrode-
formons). Such short-living states should be considered as the non equilibrium
ones.
102In fact we must keep in mind, that static polarizabilities in the more stable
ground A state of the macroeffectons are higher than in B state , because the
energy of long-term Van der Waals interaction between molec ules of the A state
is bigger than that of B-state.
If this difference may be attributed mainly to the difference i n the long-therm
dispersion interaction, then from (8.33) we obtain:

The kinetic energy and dimensions of ”acoustic” and ”optic” states of macroef-
fectons are the same: TA

kin.
In our present calculations of light scattering we ignore th is difference (9.29)
between polarizabilities of molecules in A and B states.
But it can be taken into account if we assume, that polarizabi lities in (A)
and (a), (B) and (b) states of primary effectons are like:
αA≃αa≃α∗;αB≃αb
and the difference between the potential energy of (a) and (b) states is deter-
mined mainly by dispersion interaction (eq.9.28).
Experimental resulting polarizability ( α∗≃αa) can be expressed as:
αa=faαa+fbαb+ftα (9.29a)
where αt≃αis polarizability of molecules in the gas state (or transiti on state);
fa=Pa
Pa+Pb+Pt;fb=Pb
Pa+Pb+Pt;
and ft=fd=Pt
Pa+Pb+Pt
are the fractions of (a), (b) and transition (t) states (equa l to 9.66) as far
Pt=Pd=Pa·Pb.
On the other hand from (1.33) at r=const we have:

where:∆ αais a change of each molecule polarizability as a result of the
primary effecton energy changing: Eb→Ea+hνpwith photon radiation; νbis
a frequency of primary effecton in (b)- state (eq.9.28).
Combining (9.29) and (9.29b) we derive for αaandαbof the molecules

The calculations by means of (9.30) are approximate in the fr amework of our
assumptions mentioned above. But they correctly reflect the tendencies of αa
andαbchanges with temperature.
The ratio of intensities or scattering coefficients for the ce ntral component
to the lateral ones previously was described by Landau- Plac hek formula (9.10).
According to our mesoscopic theory this ratio can be calcula ted in another way
leading from (9.27) and (9.28):
Icentr
2IM−B=Rcent
2Rside(9.30b)
Combining (9.30) and Landau- Plachek formula (9.10) it is po ssible to cal-
culate the ratio ( βT/βS) and ( CP/CV) using our mesoscopic theory of light
scattering.
9.4. Factors that determine the Brillouin line width
The known equation for Brillouin shift is (see 9.7):
∆νM−B=ν0= 2vs
λnsin(θ/2) (9.31)
where: vsis the hypersonic velocity; λis the wavelength of incident light, nis
the refraction index of matter, and θ- scattering angle.
The deviation from ν0that determines the Brillouin side line half width may
be expressed as the result of fluctuations of sound velocity vsand n related to
A and B states of tr and lib macroeffectons:
∆ν0
ν0=/parenleftbigg∆vs
vs+∆n
n/parenrightbigg
(9.32)
∆ν0is the most probable side line width, i.e. the true half width of Brillouin
line. It can be expressed as:
104∆ν0= ∆νexp−F∆νinc
where ∆ νexpis the half width of the experimental line, ∆ νinc- the half width of
the incident line, F- the coefficient that takes into account apparatus effects.
Let us analyze the first and the second terms in the right part o f (9.32)
separately.
Thevssquared is equal to the ratio of the compressibility modulus (K) and
density ( ρ):
v2
s=K2/ρ (9.33)
Consequently, from (9.33) we have:
∆vs
vs=1

(9.34)
In the case of independent fluctuations of K and ρ::

n2=/parenleftbigg

(9.39)
we can assume eq.(9.39) as far both parameters: polarizabil ity (α∗) and com-

For the other hand one can suppose that the following relatio n is true:
105∆α∗
α∗≃|¯Ea
ef−3kT|
3kT=∆K
K(9.40)
where: ¯Ea
efis the energy of the secondary effectons in (¯ a) state; E0= 3kT
is the energy of an ”ideal” quasiparticle as a superposition of 3D standing waves.
The density fluctuations can be estimated as a result of the fr ee volume ( vf)

Now, putting (9.40) and (9.41) into (9.37) and (9.34) and the n into (9.32), we
obtain the semiempirical formulae for the Brillouin line ha lf width calculation:

The traditional theory of Brillouin line shape gives a possibility for calculation
of ∆ν0taking into account the elastic (acoustic) wave dissipatio n.
The fading out of acoustic wave amplitude may be expressed as :
A=A0e−αxorA=A0e−αvs(9.45)
where αis the extinction coefficient; x=vst- the distance from the source of
waves; vsandt- sound velocity and time, correspondingly.
The hydrodynamic theory of sound propagation in liquids lea ds to the fol-
lowing expression for the extinction coefficient:
α=αs+αb=Ω2
2ρv3s/parenleftbigg4
3ηs+ηb/parenrightbigg
(9.46)
106where: αsandαbare contributions to α, related to share viscosity ( ηs) and
bulk viscosity ( ηb), respectively; Ω = 2 πfis the angular frequency of acoustic
waves.
When the side lines in Brillouin spectra broaden slightly, t he following rela-
tion between their intensity (I) and shift (∆ ω=|ω−ω0|) from frequency ω0,
corresponding to maximum intensity ( I=I0) of side line is correct:
I=I0

2παvs (9.48)
It will be shown in Chapter 12 how one can calculate the values ofηsand
consequently αson the basis of the mesoscopic theory of viscosity.
9.5. Quantitative verification of hierarchic theory of
Brillouin scattering
The calculations made according to the formula (9.21 - 9.27) are presented in
Fig.26-28. The proposed theory of scattering in liquids, ba sed on our hierarchic
concept, is more adequate than the traditional Einstein, Br illouin, Landau-
Plachek theories based on classical thermodynamics. It des cribes experimen-
tal temperature dependencies and the Icentr/2IM−Bratio for water very well
(Fig.28).
The calculations are made for the wavelength of incident lig ht:λph=
546.1nm= 5.461·10−5cm. The experimental temperature dependence for
the refraction index (n) at this wavelength was taken from th e Frontas’ev and
Schreiber paper (1965). The rest of data for calculating of v arious light scat-
tering parameters of water (density the location of transla tional and librational
bands in the oscillatory spectra) are identical to those use d above in Chapter 6.
107Fig. 26. Theoretical temperature dependencies of the total scat-
tering coefficient for water without taking into account the a nisotropy

Mesoscopic theory of light scattering can be used to verify t he correctness

From formula (9.48a) the resulting or effective molecular po larizability
squared ( α∗)2used in eq.(9.21-9.23) is:
(α∗)2=/bracketleftbigg(n2−1)/n2
(4/3)π(N0/V0)/bracketrightbigg2
(9.50)
On the other hand, from the Lorentz-Lorenz formula (9.49) we have another
value of polarizability:
α2=/bracketleftbigg(n2−1)/(n2+ 2)
(4/3)π(N0/V0)/bracketrightbigg2
(9.51)
It is evident that the light scattering coefficients (eq.9.28 ), calculated using

= 4.56 (9.52)
At 250andλph= 546 nmthe theoretical magnitude of the scattering
coefficient for water, calculated from our formulae (9.28) is equal (see Fig.26)
to:
R= 11.2·10−5m−1(9.53)
This result of our theory coincides well with the most reliab le experimental value
(Vuks, 1977):
Rexp= 10.8·10−5m−1
Multiplication of the side bands contribution (2 Rside) to Cabanne factor in-
creases the calculated total scattering to about 25% and mak es the correspon-
dence with experiment worse. This fact confirms our assumpti on that fluctua-
tions of anisotropy of polarizability in composition of A an d B states of macroef-
fectons should be ignored in light scattering evaluation du e to correlation of
molecular dynamics in these states, in contrast to that of ma crodeformons.

tions of A and B states of translational Macroeffectons to the total
scattering coefficient of water (see also Fig.27);
110Fig. 30. Theoretical temperature dependencies of the contri-
butions of the A and B states of librational Macroeffectons to the
coefficient of light scattering (R).
It follows from the Fig.29 and Fig.30 that the light scatteri ng depends on
(A⇔B) equilibrium of macroeffectons because ( RA)>(RB), i.e. scattering
onAstates is bigger than that on Bstates.
Fig. 31. Theoretical temperature dependencies of the contribu-
tions to light scattering (central component), related to t ranslational
(RD)trand librational ( RD)lbmacrodeformons.
Comparing Figs. 26; 28, and 31 one can see that the main contri bution to
central component of light scattering is determined by [ lb/tr] convertons Rc(see
eq.9.27).
111Fig. 32. Theoretical temperature dependences for temperature
derivative ( dR/dT ) of the total coefficient of light scattering of water.
Nonmonotonic deviations of the dependencies dR/dT (Fig.32) reflect the
nonmonotonic changes of the refraction index for water nH2O(T), as indicated
by available experimental data (Frontas’ev and Schreiber, 1965). The deviations
of dependence nH2O(t) from the monotonic way in accordance with hierarchic
theory, are a consequence of the nonmonotonic change in the s tability of water
structure, i.e. nonlinear change of ( A⇔B)tr,lbequilibrium. Some possible
reasons of such equilibrium change were discussed in Chapte r 6.
It is clear from (9.52) that the calculations based on the Lor entz-Lorentz
formula (9.51) give scattering coefficient values of about 4. 5 times smaller than
experimental ones. It means that the true α∗value can be calculated only on
the basis of our mesoscopic theory of light refraction (eq.9 .50).
The traditional Smolukhovsky-Einstein theory, valid for t he integral light
scattering only (eq. 9.1), yield values in the range of R= 8.85·10−5m−1to
R= 10.5·10−5m−1(Eisenberg, Kauzmann, 1969; Vuks, 1977).
The results, discussed above, demonstrate that new theory o f light
scattering works better and is more informative than the con ventional
one.
9.6. Light scattering in solutions
If the guest molecules are dissolved in a liquid and their siz es are much less
than incident light wavelength, they do not radically alter the solvent properties.
For this case the described above mechanism of light scatter ing of pure liquids
does not changed qualitatively.
For such dilute solutions the scattering on the fluctuations of concentration
of dissolved molecules ( Rc) is simply added to the scattering on the density
fluctuations of molecules of the host solvent (eq.9.28). Tak ing into account the
fluctuations of molecule polarizability anisotropy (see 9. 25) the total scattering
coefficient of the solution ( RS) is:
112RS=Rt+Rc (9.54)
Eqs. (9.21 - 9.28) could be used for calculating Rtuntil critical concentra-
tions ( Ccr) of dissolved substance when it start to destroy the solvent structure,
so that the latter is no longer able to form primary libration al effectons. Pertur-
bations of solvent structure will induce low-frequency shi ft of librational bands
in the oscillatory spectrum of the solution until these band s totally disappear.
If the experiment is made with a two-component solution of li quids, soluble
in each other, e.g. water-alcohol, benzol-methanol etc., a nd the positions of
translational and librational bands of solution component s are different, then
at the concentration of the dissolved substance: C > C cr, the dissolved sub-
stance and the solvent (the guest and host) can switch their r oles. Then the
translational and librational bands pertinent to the guest subsystem start to
dominate. In this case, Rtis to be calculated from the positions of the new
bands corresponding to the ”new” host-solvent. The total ”m elting” of the pri-
mary librational ”host effectons” and the appearance of the d issolved substance
”guest effectons” is like the second order phase transition and should be accom-
panied by a heat capacity jump. The like experimental effects take place indeed
(Vuks, 1997).
According to our concept, the coefficient R cin eq.(9.54) is caused by the fluc-
tuations of concentration of dissolved molecules in the vol ume of translational
and librational macro- and superdeformons of the solvent. I f the destabilization
of the solvent is expressed in the low frequency shift of librational bands,
then the coefficients ( RAandRB)lbincrease (eq.9.21 and 9.22) with the prob-
ability of macro-excitations.. The probabilities of conve rtons and macro- and
superdeformons and the central component of Brillouin spec tra will increase
also. Therefore, the intensity of the total light scatterin g increases correspond-
ingly.
The fluctuations of concentration of the solute molecules, i n accordance with
our model, occur in the volumes of macrodeformons and superd eformons. Con-
sequently, the contribution of solute molecules in scatter ing (Rcvalue in eq.9.54)
can be expressed by formula, similar to (9.23), but containi ng the molecule po-
larizability of the dissolved substance (”guest”) ,equal to ( α∗
g)2instead of the
molecule polarizability ( α∗) of the solvent (”host”), and the molecular con-
centration of the ”guest” substance in the solution ( ng) instead of the solvent
molecule concentration ( nM=N0/V0). For this case Rccould be presented as
a sum of the following contributions:
(Rc)tr,lb=8π4
λ4(α∗
g)2ng/bracketleftBig
(PD
M)tr,lb+PD∗
S/bracketrightBig
(9.55)
RD∗
c=8π4
λ4(α∗
g)2ng(PD∗
S) (9.55a)
The resulting scattering coefficient ( Re) on fluctuations of concentration in
(9.54) is equal to:
113Rc= (Rc)tr+ (Rc)lb+RD∗
c (9.56)
Ifa few substances are dissolved with concentrations lower than ( Ccr), then
theirRcare summed up additively.
Formulae (9.55) and (9.56) are valid also for the dilute solu tions.
Eqs.(9.21-9.28) and (9.54-9.56) should, therefore, be use d for calculating the
resulting coefficient of light scattering in solutions ( RS).
The traditional theory represents the scattering coefficient at fluctuations of
concentration as (Vuks, 1977):
Rc=π2
2λ4/parenleftbigg∂ǫ
∂x/parenrightbigg2
∆x2v (9.57)
where ( ∂ǫ/∂x ) is the dielectric penetrability derivative with respect t o one of
the components: ∆¯ x2is the fluctuations of concentration of guest molecules
squared in the volume element v.
The transformation of (9.57) on the basis of classical therm odynamics (Vuks,
1977) leads to the formula:
Rc=π2
2λ4N0/parenleftbigg
2n∂n
∂x/parenrightbigg/parenleftbigg9n2
(2n2+ 1)(n2+ 2)/parenrightbigg2
x1x2V12f, (9.58)
where N0is the Avogadro number, x1andx2are the molar fractions of the
first and second components in the solution, V12is the molar volume of the
solution, fis the function of fluctuations of concentration determined exper-
imentally from the partial vapor pressures of the first ( P1) and second ( P2)
solution components:
1
f=x1
P1∂P1
∂x1=x2
P2∂P2
∂x2(9.59)
In the case of ideal solutions
∂P1
∂x1=P1
x1;∂P2
∂x2=P2
x2; and f= 1.
For application the mesoscopic theory of light scattering t o study of crystals,
liquids and solutions, the following information is needed :
1. Positions of translational and librational band maxima i n oscillatory spec-
tra;
2. Concentration of all types of molecules in solutions;
3. Refraction index or polarizability in the acting field of e ach component of
solution at given temperature.
Application of our theory to quantitative analysis of trans parent liquids and
solids yields much more information about properties of mat ter, its mesoscopic
and hierarchic dynamic structure than the traditional one.
11410. Hierarchic theory of M¨ ossbauer effect
10.1. General background
When the atomic nucleus with mass (M) in the gas phase irradia tesγ-
quantum with energy of
E0=hν0=mpc2(10.1)
where: mpis the effective photon mass, then according to the law of impu lse
conservation, the nuclear acquires additional velocity in the opposite direction:
v=−E0
Mc(10.2)
The corresponding additional kinetic energy
ER=Mv2
2=E2
0
2Mc2(10.3)
is termed recoil energy.
When an atom which irradiates γ-quantum is in composition of the solid
body, then three situations are possible:
1. The recoil energy of the atom is higher than the energy of at om - lattice
interaction. In this case, the atom irradiating γ-quantum would be knocked out
from its position in the lattice. That leads to defects origi nation;
2. Recoil energy is insufficient for the appreciable displace ment of an atom
in the structure of the lattice, but is higher than the energy of phonon, equal
to energy of secondary transitons and phonons excitation. I n this case, recoil
energy is spent for heating the lattice;
3. Recoil energy is lower than the energy of primary transito ns, related to
[emission/absorption] of IR translational and librationa l photons ( hνp)tr,lband
phonons ( hνph)tr,lb. In that case, the probability (f) of γ-quantum irradiation
without any the losses of energy appears, termed the probabi lity (fraction) of a
recoilless processes.
For example, when ER<< hν ph(νph- the mean frequency of phonons),
then the mean energy of recoil:
ER= (1−f)hνph (10.4)
Hence, the probability of recoilless effect is
f= 1−ER
hνph(10.5)
According to eq.(10.3) the decrease of the recoil energy ERof an atom in the
structure of the lattice is related to increase of its effecti ve mass ( M). In our
model Mcorresponds to the mass of the effecton.
115The effect of γ-quantum irradiation without recoil was discovered by M¨ os sbauer
in 1957 and named after him. The value of M¨ ossbauer effect is d etermined by
the value of f≤1.
The big recoil energy may be transferred to the lattice by por tions that
areresonant to the frequency of IR photons (tr and lb) and phonons. The
possibility of stimulation of superradiation of IR quanta a s a result
of such recoil process is a consequence of our model.
The scattering of γ-quanta without lattice excitation, when ER<< hν ph, is
termed the elastic one.The general expression (Wertheim, 1964; Shpinel, 1969)
for the probability of such phononless elastic γ-quantum radiation acts is equal
to:
f= exp/parenleftbigg
−4π < x2>
λ2
0/parenrightbigg
(10.6)
where λ0=c/ν0is the real wavelength of γ-quantum; <x2>- the nucleus
oscillations mean amplitude squared in the direction of γ-quantum irradiation.
Theγ-quanta wavelength parameter may be introduced like:
L0=λ0/2π, (10.7)
where: L0= 1.37·10−5cmforFe57, then eq.(10.6) could be written as follows:
f= exp/parenleftbigg
−< x2>
L2
0/parenrightbigg
(10.8)
It may be shown (Shpinel, 1969), proceeding from the model of crystal as a
system of 3N identical quantum oscillators, that when tempe rature (T) is much
lower than the Debye one ( θD) then:
< x2>=9/planckover2pi12
4Mkθ D/braceleftbigg
1 +2/planckover2pi12T2
3θ2
D/bracerightbigg
, (10.9)
where θD=hνD/kandνDis the Debye frequency.
From (10.1), (10.3) and (10.7) we have:
1
L=E0
/planckover2pi1c(10.10)
where: E0=hν=c(2ME R)1/2is the energy of γ-quantum
Substituting eqs.(10.9 and 10.10) into eq.(10.8), we obtai n the Debye-Valler
formula:
f= exp/bracketleftbigg

10.2. Probability of elastic effects
Mean square displacements <x2>of an atoms or molecules in condensed
matter (eq. 10.8) is not related to excitation of thermal pho tons or phonons
(i.e. primary or secondary transitons). According to our co ncept, < x2>is
caused by the mobility of the atoms forming effectons and diffe rs for primary
and secondary translational and librational effectons in ( a,¯a)tr,lband (b, b)tr,lb
states.
We will ignore below the contributions of macro- and supereff ectons in
M¨ ossbauer effect as very small. Then the resulting probabil ity of elastic effects
atγ-quantum radiation is determined by the sum of the following contributions:

Mean square displacements within different types of effecton s in eqs.(10.14-
10.17) are related to their phase and group velocities. At fir st we express the
displacements using group velocities of the waves B(vgr) and periods of corre-
sponding oscillations ( T) as:

equal in (a) and (b) states.
In a similar way we can express the displacements of atoms for ming (b) state
of primary effectons (tr and lib):

follows:
/parenleftbigλa/parenrightbig

tr,lb= (10.22)

118hence for the group velocities of the atoms or molecules form ing primary effec-
tons (tr and lb ) squared we have:
/parenleftbigva,b
gr/parenrightbig2
tr,lb=h2
m2/parenleftBigg
νa,b
va,b
ph/parenrightBigg2
tr,lb(10.23)
In accordance with mesoscopic theory, the wave B length, imp ulses and group
velocities in aandbstates of the effectons are equal. Similarly to (10.23), we
obtain the group velocities of particles, composing second ary effectons:
/parenleftbig¯va,b
gr/parenrightbig2
tr,lb=h2
m2/parenleftBigg
¯νa,b

tr,lb(10.24)
Substituting eqs.(10.23) and (10.24) into (10.18-10.21), we find the important
expressions for the average coherent displacements of part icles squared as a
result of their oscillations in the volume of the effectons ( tr, lib) in both discreet
states (acoustic and optic):
<(xa)2
tr,lb>= (h/mva

<(xb)2

tr,lb (10.28)
Then, substituting these values into eqs.(10.14-10.17) we obtain a set of different
contributions to the resulting probability of effects witho ut recoil:

Substituting eqs.(10.29) and (10.30) into (10.13), we find t he total probabil-
ity of recoilless effects ( ftot) in the given substance. Corresponding computer
calculations for ice and water are presented on Figs.33 and 3 4.
As far the second order phase transitions in general case are accompanied
by the alterations of the sound velocity and the positions of translational and
librational bands, they should also be accompanied by alter ations of f totand its
components.

without recoil and phonon excitation: (a) in ice; (b) in wate r; (c)-during phase
transition. The calculations were performed using eq.(10. 13).

(¯f)trtranslational effectons; (b)- contributions, related to primary
(fa,b
ef)lband secondary ( ¯f)lblibrational effectons around the tem-
perature of [ice ⇔water] phase transition.
The total probability ( f) and its components, caused by primary and sec-
ondary quasiparticles were calculated according to formul a (10.13). The value of
(f) determines the magnitude of the M¨ ossbauer effect register ed by γ-resonance
spectroscopy.
The band width caused by recoilless effects is determined by t he uncertainty
principle and expressed as follows:
Γ =h
τ≈10−27
1.4·10−7= 7.14·10−21erg = 4 .4·10−9eV (10.31)
where τis the lifetime of nucleus in excited state (for Fe57τ= 1.4·10−7s).
The position of the band depends on the mean square velocity o f atoms, i.e.
on second order Doppler effect. In the experiment, such an effe ct is compen-
sated by the velocity of γ-quanta source motion relative to absorbent. In the
framework of our model this velocity is interrelated with th e mean velocity of
the secondary effectons diffusion in condensed matter.
10.3. Doppler broadening in spectra of nuclear gamma-reson ance
(NGR)
M¨ ossbauer effect is characterized by the unbroadened compo nent of NGR
spectra only, with probability of observation determined b y eq.(10.13).
When the energy of absorbed γ-quanta exceeds the energy of thermal IR pho-
tons (tr,lib) orphonons excitation, the absorbance band broadens as a result of
Doppler effect. Within the framework of our mesoscopic conce pt the Doppler
broadening is caused by thermal displacements of the partic les during [ a⇔b
and ¯a⇔¯b]tr,lbtransitions of primary and secondary effectons, leading to o rig-
ination/annihilation of the corresponding type of deformo ns (electromagnetic
and acoustic).
121Theflickering clusters : [lb/tr] convertons ( aandb), can contribute in the
NGR line broadening also.
In that case, the value of Doppler broadening (∆Γ) of the band in the NGR
spectrum could be estimated from corresponding kinetic ene rgies of these ex-
citations, related to their group velocities (see eq. 4.31) . In our consideration
we take into account the reduced to one molecule kinetic energies of pri-
mary and secondary translational and librational transito ns,a-convertons and
b-convertons. The contributions of macroconvertons, macro - and superdefor-
mons are much smaller due to their small probability and conc entration:

122The broadening of NGR spectral lines by Doppler effect in liqu ids is generally
expressed using the diffusion coefficient (D) at the assumptio n that the motion
of M¨ ossbauer atom has the character of unlimited diffusion ( Singvi, 1962):

D=kT
6πηa(10.36)
where: ηis viscosity, (a) is the effective Stokes radius of the atom Fe57
The probability of recoilless γ-quantum absorption by the matter containing
for example Fe57, decreases due to diffusion and corresponding Doppler broad -
ening of band (∆Γ):
fD=Γ
Γ + ∆Γ(10.37)
where ∆Γ corresponds to eq.(10.32).The formulae obtained h ere make it possible
to experimentally verify a set of consequences of our mesosc opic theory using the
gamma- resonance method. A more detailed interpretation of the data obtained
by this method also becomes possible.
The magnitude of (∆Γ) was calculated according to formula (1 0.32). It
corresponds well to experimentally determined Doppler wid ening in the nuclear
gamma resonance (NGR) spectra of ice.

10.4. Acceleration and forces, related to thermal
dynamics of molecules and ions. Vibro-Gravitational inter action.
During the period of particles thermal oscillations (tr and lb), their in-
stant velocity, acceleration and corresponding forces alt ernatively and strongly
change.
The change of wave B instant group velocity, averaged during the molecule
oscillation period in composition of the (a) and (b) states o f the effectons, de-
termines the average acceleration:

We keep in mind that group velocities, impulses and wave B len gth in (a) and
(b) states of the effectons are equal, in accordance with our m odel.

The energies of molecules in (a) and (b) states of the effecton s also can be

From (10.40) one can express the accelerations of particles in the primary effec-
tons of condensed matter, using their phase velocities as a w aves B:

ilar form:

These parameters are important for understanding the dynam ic properties of
condensed systems. The accelerations of the atoms, forming primary and sec-
ondary effectons can be calculated, using eqs.(3.35; 3.36) t o determine phase
velocities and eqs. (3.5; 3.6 and 3.16; 3.17) to find a frequen cies.
124Multiplying (10.41) and (10.42) by the atomic mass m, we derive the most
probable and mean forces, acting upon the particles in both s tates of primary
and secondary effectons in condensed matter:
/bracketleftBigg

(10.43)
The comparison of calculated accelerations with empirical data of the M¨ ossbauer
effect - supports the correctness of our approach.
According to eq.(3.5) in the low temperature range, when hνa<< kT , the
frequency of secondary tr and lb effectons in the (a) state can be estimated as:
νa=νa
exp/parenleftbighνa

For example, at T= 200 Kwe have ¯ νa≈4·1012s−1.
If the phase velocity in eq.(10.42) is taken equal to ¯ va
ph= 2.1·105cm/s and
the mass of water molecule:
m= 18·1.66·10−24g= 2.98·10−23g,
then from (10.42) we get the acceleration of molecules in com position of sec-
ondary effectons of ice in (a) state:
¯aa
gr=h(¯νa)2
m¯va
ph= 1.6·1016cm/s2(10.45)
This value is about 1013times more than that of free fall acceleration ( g=
9.8·102cm/s2), which agrees well with experimental data, obtained for so lid
bodies (Wertheim, 1964).
Accelerations of H2Omolecules in composition of primary librational effec-
tons ( aa
gr) in the ice at 200K and in water at 300K are equal to: 0 .6·1013cm/s2
and 2·1015cm/s2, correspondingly. They also exceed to many orders the
free fall acceleration.
It was shown experimentally (Sherwin, 1960), that heating o f solid body
leads to decreasing of gamma-quanta frequency (red Doppler shift) i.e. increas-
ing of corresponding quantum transitions period. This can b e explained as the
relativist time-pace decreasing due to elevation of averag e thermal velocity of
atoms.
The thermal vibrations of particles (atoms, molecules) in c omposition of
primary effectons as a partial Bose-condensate are coherent . The increasing
of such clusters dimensions, determined by most probable wa ve B length, as
a result of cooling, pressure elevation or under magnetic fie ld action leads to
enhancement of coherent regions.
Each coherently vibrating cluster of particles with big alt ernating
accelerations, like librational and translational effecto ns is a source of
coherent gravitational waves.
125The frequency of these vibro-gravitational waves (VGW) is e qual to fre-
quency of particles vibrations (i.e. frequency of the effect ons in aorbstates).
The amplitude of VGW ( AG) is proportional to the number of vibrating coher-
ently particles ( NG) in composition of primary effectons:
AG∼NG∼Vef/(V0/N0) = (1 /nef)/(V0/N0) (10.46)
The resonant long-distance gravitational interaction bet ween coherent clusters
of the same body or between that of different bodies is possibl e. The formal
description of this vibro-gravitational interaction (VGI ) could be like that of
distant macroscopic Van der Waals interaction.
Different patterns of virtual Bose-condensate of standing g ravitational waves
in vacuum represent the vibro-gravitational replica (VGR) of condensed matter.
Important role of proposed here distant resonant VIBRO - GRA V-
ITATIONAL INTERACTION (VGI) in elementary acts of percepti on
and memory can be provided by coherent primary librational w ater
effectons in microtubules of the nerve cells (see article: ”H ierarchic
Model of Consciousness” by Kaivarainen, 2000).
11. ENTROPY-INFORMATIONAL CONTENT OF MATTER,
SLOW RELAXATION, MACROSCOPIC OSCILLATIONS.
AND EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELD
11.1. Theoretical background
One of the consequences of our concept is of special interest . It is the possibil-
ity for oscillation processes in solids and liquids. The law of energy conservation
is not violated thereupon because the energies of two quasip article subsystems
related to effectons and deformons, can change in opposite ph ases. The total
internal energy of matter keeps almost constant.
The equilibrium shift between subsystems of condensed matt er can be in-
duced by any external factor, i.e. pressure or field. The rela xation time, neces-
sary for system to restore its equilibrium, corresponding t o minimum of potential
or free energy after switching off external factor can be term ed ”memory” of
system.
The energy redistribution between primary and secondary eff ecton and de-
formon subsystems may have a periodical character, coupled with the oscillation
of the ( a⇔b) equilibrium constant of primary effectons ( Ka⇔b) and correlated
oscillations of primary electromagnetic deformons concen tration if dissipation
processes are weak or reversible. According to our model (Ta ble 1) the ( a→b)
transition of primary effecton is related to photon absorpti on, i.e. a decrease
in primary electromagnetic deformon concentration, while the (b→a) transi-
tion on the contrary, radiate photons. If, therefore, the [ a⇔b] and/bracketleftbig
¯a⇔¯b/bracketrightbig
equilibriums are shifted right ward, and equilibrium const antsKa⇔band¯Ka⇔b
decreases, then concentrations of primary and secondary de formons ( ndand ¯nd)
also decreases. If Ka⇔bgrows up, i.e. the concentration of primary effectons
in a-states increases, then ndincreases. We remind that ( a) and ( b) states of
the primary effectons correspond to the more and less stable m olecular clusters
126(see Introduction). In accordance with our model, the stron g interrelation exists
between dynamic equilibrium of primary and secondary effect ons. Equilibrium
of primary effectons is more sensitive to any perturbations. However, the equi-
librium shift of secondary effectons affect the total interna l energy, the entropy
change and possible mass defect (see below) stronger than th at of primary ef-
fectons.
As we have shown (Fig. 29, 30), the scattering ability of A-st ates is more
than two times as high as that of B-states. Their polarizabil ity, refraction index
and dielectric permeability are also higher. It makes possi ble to register the
oscillations in the condensed matter in different ways.
In accordance with our theory the oscillation of refraction index must induce
the corresponding changes of viscosity and self-diffusion i n condensed matter.
The diffusion variations are possible, for example, in solut ions of macromolecules
or other Brownian particles. In such a way self-organizatio n in space and time
gradually may originate in appropriate solvents, solution s, colloid systems and
even in solid bodies.
The period and amplitude of these oscillations depend on the times of relax-
ation processes which are related to the activation energy o f equilibrium shifts
in the effectons, polyeffectons or coherent superclusters of primary effectons
subsystems.
The reorganizations in the subsystems of translational and librational ef-
fectons, macro- and supereffectons, as well as chain-like po lyeffectons, whose
stabilities and sizes differ from each other, must go on at diff erent rates. It
should, therefore, be expected that in the experiment the pr esence of several os-
cillation processes would be revealed. These processes are interrelated but going
with different periods and amplitudes. Concomitant oscilla tions of self-diffusion
rate also must be taken into account. In such a way Prigogin’s dissipative struc-
tures could be developed (Prigogin, 1984). Instability in t he degree of ordering
in time and space is accompanied by the slow oscillation of en tropy of the whole
macroscopic system.
The coherent extraterrestrial cosmic factors and gravitat ional instabilities
can induce long relaxation and oscillation processes in wat er and other kind of
condensed matter (Udaltsova, et. al., 1987).
11.2. The entropy - information content of matter as a hierar chic
system
The statistical weigh for macrosystem (P), equal to number o f
microstates (W), corresponding to given macrostate, neces sary for
entropy calculation could be presented as:
W=N!
N1!·N2!·. . .·Nq!(11.1)
where:
N=N1+N2+...Nq (11.2)
is the total number of molecules in macrosystem;
127Niis the number of molecules in the i-th state;
qis the number of independent states of all quasiparticles in macrosys-
tem.
We can subdivide macroscopic volume of 1 cm3into 24 types of quasiparticles
in accordance with our hierarchic model (see Table 1).
In turn, each type of the effectons (primary, secondary, macr o- and super-
effectons) is subdivided on two states: ground (a,A) and exci ted (b,B) states.
Taking into account two ways of the effectons origination - du e to thermal trans-
lations (tr) and librations (lb), excitations, related to [ lb/tr] convertons, macro-
and super deformons, the total number of independent states is 24 also. It is
equal to number of independent relative probabilities of ex citations, composing
partition function Z (see eq.4.2 ). Consequently, we have:
q= 24
Thenumber of molecules, in the unit of volume of condensed matter (1cm3),
participating in each of 24 excitation states ( i) can be calculated as:
Ni=(v)i
V0/N0·ni·Pi
Z=N0
V0Pi
Z(11.3)
where: ( v)i= 1/niis the volume of (i) quasiparticle, equal to reciprocal valu e
of its concentration ( ni);N0andV0are Avogadro number and molar volume,
correspondingly; Zis partition function and Piare relative probabilities of in-
dependent excitations in composition of Z(eq.4.2).
The total number of molecules of (i)-type of excitation in an y big volume of
matter ( VMac) is equal to
Ni
Mac=NiVMac=VMacN0
V0Pi
Z(11.3a)
Now we can calculate the statistical weight and entropy from eqs.(11.1 and
11.4).
For large values of Niit is convenient to use a Stirling formula:
Ni= (2πN)1/2(N/e)N·exp(Θ /12N)∼(2πN)1/2(N/Θ)N(11.3b)
Using this formula and (11.1), one can obtain the following e xpression for en-
tropy:
S=k·lnW=−k·q/summationdisplay
i(Ni+1
2)lnNi+ const = S1+S2+...Si(11.4)
From this eq. we can see that the temperature increasing or [s olid→liquid]
phase transition will lead to the entropy elevation:
∆S=SL−SS=k·ln(WL/WS)>0 (11.5)
128It follows from (11.4) and (11.3) that under conditions when (Pi) and Niun-
dergoes oscillations it can lead to oscillations of contrib utions of different types
of quasiparticles to the entropy of system and even to oscill ations of total en-
tropy of system as an additive parameter. The coherent oscil lations of Piand
Nican be induced by different external fields: acoustic, electr omagnetic and
gravitational. Macroscopic autooscillations may arise sp ontaneously also in the
sensitive and highly cooperative systems.
Experimental evidence for such phenomena will be discussed in the next
section.
The notions of probability of given microstate ( pi= 1/W), entropy ( Si)
and information ( Ii) are strongly interrelated. The smaller the probability th e
greater is information (Nicolis 1986):
Ii= lg21
pi=−lg2pi= lg2Wi (11.6)
where piis defined from the Boltzmann distribution as:
pi=exp(−Ei/kT)/summationtext∞
m=0exp(−nmhνi/kT)(11.7)
where n mis quantum number; h is the Plank constant; Ei=hνiis the energy
of (i)-state.
There is strict relation between the entropy and informatio n, leading from
comparison of (11.6), (11.1 and 11.4):
Si= (kBln 2)Ii= 2.3·10−24Ii (11.8)
The information entropy is given as expectation of the infor mation in the system
(Nicolis,1986; Haken, 1988).
< I > = ΣPilg2(1/pi) =−Σpilg2(pi) (11.9)
From (26) and (22) we can see that variation of probability piand/or Niin (20)
will lead to changes of entropy and information, characteri zing the matter as a
hierarchical system.
Thereduced information (entropy), characterizing its quality , related
to selected collective excitation of any type of condensed m atter, we introduce
here as a product of corresponding component of information [Ii] to the number
of molecules (atoms) with similar dynamic properties in com position of this
excitation:
qi= (vi/vm) =N0/(V0ni) (11.9a)
where: vi= 1/niis the volume of quasiparticle, reversible to its concentra tion
(ni);vm=V0/N0is the volume, occupied by one molecule.
129The product of (11.9) and (11.9a), i.e. the reduced information gives the
quantitative characteristic not only about quantity but al so about the quality
of the information:
(Iq)i=pilg2(1/pi)·N0/(V0ni) (11.9b)
This new formula could be considered as a useful modification of known Shennon
equation.
11.3. Experimentally revealed macroscopic oscillations
A series of experiments was conducted in our laboratory to st udy macro-
scopically coherent oscillations in the buffer (pH 7.3) cont aining 0.15 M NaCl as
a control system and immunoglobulin G solutions in this buffe r at the following
concentrations: 3 ·10−3; 6·10−3; 1.2·10−2and 2.4·10−2mg/ml .
The turbidity ( D∗) of water and the solutions were measured every 10 sec-
onds with the spectrophotometer at λ= 350 nm. Data were obtained automat-
ically with the time constant 5 s during 40 minutes. The numbe r ofD∗values
in every series was usually equal to 256. The total number of t he fulfilled series
was more than 30.
The time series of D∗were processed by the software for time series analysis.
The time trend was thus subtracted and the autocovariance fu nction and the
spectral density were calculated.
The empty quartz cuvette with the optical path about 1 cm were used as a
base control.
Only the optical density of water and water dissolved substa nces, which
really exceeded background optical density in the control s eries were taken into
account. It is shown that the noise of the photoelectronic mu ltiplier does not
contribute markedly to dispersion of D∗.
The measurements were made at temperatures of 17 ,28,32, and 370. The
period of the trustworthily registered oscillation proces ses related to changes
inD∗, had 2 to 4 discrete values over the range of (30 −600) sec under our
conditions. It does not exclude the fact that the autooscill ations of longer or
shorter periods exist. For example, in distilled water at 320Cthe oscillations
of the scattering ability are characterized by periods of 30 , 120 and 600 s and
the spectral density amplitudes 14, 38 and 78 (in relative un its), respectively.
With an increase in the oscillation period their amplitude a lso increases. At
280Cthe periods of the values 30, 41 and 92 seconds see have the cor responding
normalized amplitudes 14.7, 10.6 and 12.0.
Autooscillations in the buffer solution at 280Cin a 1 cm wide cuvette with
the optical way length 1 cm (i.e. square section) are charact erized with periods:
34,52,110 and 240 s and the amplitudes: 24 ,33,27 and 33 relative units. In
the cuvette with a smaller (0.5 cm) or larger (5 cm) optical wa velength at the
same width (1 cm) the periods of oscillations in the buffer cha nge insignificantly.
However, amplitudes decreased by 50% in the 5 cm cuvette and b y 10-20% in the
0.5 cm-cuvette. This points to the role of geometry of space w here oscillations
occur, and to the existence of the finite correlation radius o f the synchronous
processes in the volume. But this radius is macroscopic and c omparable with
the size of the cuvette.
130The dependence of the autooscillations amplitude on the con centration of
the protein - immunoglobulin G has a sharp maximum at the conc entration of
1.2·10−2mg/ml . There is a background for considering it to be a manifesta-
tion of the hydrodynamic Bjorkness forces between the pulsi ng macromolecules
(K¨ aiv¨ ar¨ ainen, 1987).
Oscillations in water and water solutions with nearly the sa me periods have
been registered by the light-scattering method by Cherniko v (1985).
Chernikov (1990d) has studied the dependence of light scatt ering fluctua-
tions on temperature , mechanic perturbation and magnetic fi eld in water and
water hemoglobin and DNA solution. It has been shown that an i ncrease in
temperature results in the decline of long-term oscillatio n amplitude and in the
increase of short-time fluctuation amplitude. Mechanical m ixing removes long-
term fluctuations and over 10 hours are spent for their recove ry. Regular fluc-
tuations (oscillations) appear when the constant magnetic field above 240 A/m
is applied; the fluctuations are retained for many hours afte r removing the field.
The period of long-term oscillations has the order of 10 minu tes. It has been
assumed that the maintenance of long-range correlation of m olecular rotation-
translation fluctuation underlies the mechanism of long-te rm light scattering
fluctuations.
It has been shown (Chernikov, 1990b) that a pulsed magnetic fi eld (MF), like
constant MF, gives rise to light scattering oscillations in water and other liquids
containing H atoms: glycerin, xylol, ethanol, a mixture of u nsaturated lipids.
All this liquids also have a distinct response to the constan t MF. ”Spontaneous”
and MF-induced fluctuations are shown to be associated with t he isotropic com-
ponent of scattering. These phenomena do not occur in the non proton liquid
(carbon tetrachloride) and are present to a certain extent i n chloroform (con-
taining one hydrogen atom in its molecule). The facts obtain ed indicate an
important role of hydrogen atoms and cooperative system of h ydrogen bonds in
”spontaneous” and induced by external perturbations macro scopic oscillations.
The understanding of such phenomena can provide a physical b asis for of
self-organization (Prigogin, 1980, 1984, Babloyantz, 198 6), the biological sys-
tem evolution (Shnol, 1979, Udaltsova et al., 1987), and che mical processes
oscillations (Field and Burger, 1988).
It is quite probable that macroscopic oscillation processe s in biological liq-
uids, e.g. blood and liquor, caused by the properties of wate r are involved in
animal and human physiological processes.
We have registered the oscillations of water activity in the protein-cell system
by means of light microscopy using the apparatus ”Morphoqua nt”, through the
change of the erythrocyte sizes, the erythrocytes being ATP -exhausted and
fulfilling a role of the passive osmotic units. The revealed o scillations have a
few minute-order periods.
Preliminary data obtained from the analysis of oscillation processes in the
human cerebrospinal liquor indicate their dependence on so me pathology. Per-
haps, the autooscillations spectrum of the liquor can serve as a sensitive test
for the physiological status of the organism. The liquor is a n electrolyte and
its autooscillations can be modulated with the electromagn etic activity of the
brain.
The activity of the central nervous system and the biologica l rhythms
of the organism may be dependent on the oscillation processe s in the
liquor. If it is the case, then the directed influence on these autooscil-
131lation processes, for example, by means of external electro magnetic
field of resonant frequency makes it possible to regulate the state of
the organism. Such way of correction of biorhythms could be s imple
and effective.
During my stay in laboratory of G.Salvetty in the Institute o f Atomic and
Molecular Physics in Pisa (Italy) in 1992, the oscillations of heat capacity [ Cp] in
0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH7) and in 1% solution of lysozyme in t he same buffer
at 200Cwere revealed. The sensitive adiabatic differential microc alorimeter was
used for this aim. The biggest relative amplitude changing: [∆Cp]/[Cp]∼(0.5±
0.02)% occurs with period of about 24 hours, i.e. correspondin g to circadian
rhythm.
Such oscillations can be stimulated by the variation of magn etic
and gravitational conditions of the Earth in location of exp eriment
during this 24h cycle.
11.4. Phenomena in water and aqueous systems, induced by
magnetic field
In the works of (Semikhina and Kiselev, 1988, Kiselev et al., 1988, Berezin
et al., 1988) the influence of the weak magnetic field was revea led on the di-
electric losses, the changes of dissociation constant, den sity, refraction index,
light scattering and electroconductivity, the coefficient o f heat transition, the
depth of super-cooling for distilled water and for ice also. This field used as a
modulator a geomagnetic action.
The absorption and the fluorescence of the dye (rhodamine 6G) and protein
in solutions also changed under the action of weak fields on wa ter. The latter
circumstance reflects feedback links in the guest-host, or s olute -solvent system.
The influence of constant and variable magnetic fields on wate r and ice in
the frequency range 104−108Hzwas studied. The maximum sensitivity to
field action was observed at the frequency νmax= 105Hz. In accordance with
our calculations, this frequency corresponds to frequency of superdeformons
excitations in water (see Fig..12.d).
A few of physical parameters changed after the long (nearly 6 hour) influence
of the variable fields ( ˜H), modulating the geomagnetic field of the tension [ H=
Hgeo] with the frequency ( f) in the range of (1 −10)·102Hz(Semikhina and
Kiselev, 1988, Kiselev et al., 1988):
H=Hcos2πft (11.10)
In the range of modulating magnetic field (H) tension from 0 .08A/mto 212 A/m
theeight maxima of dielectric losses tangent in the above mentioned ( f)
range were observed. Dissociation constant decreases more than other param-
eters (by 6 times) after the incubation of ice and water in mag netic field. The
relaxation time (”memory”) of the changes, induced in water by fields was in
the interval from 0.5 to 8 hours.
The authors interpret the experimental data obtained as the influence of
magnetic field on the probability of proton transfer along th e net of hydrogen
bonds in water and ice, which lead to the deformation of this n et.
132Theequilibrium constant for the reaction of dissociation:
H2O⇔OH−+H+(11.11)
in ice is less by almost six orders ( ≃106) than that for water. On the other
hand the values of the field-induced effects in ice are several times more than in
water, and the time for reaching them in ice is less. So, the above in terpretation
is doubtful.
In the framework of our concept all the aforementioned pheno m-
ena could be explained by the shift of the (a⇔b)equilibrium of
primary translational and librational effectons to the left .In turn,
this shift stimulates polyeffectons or coherent superclust ers growth, under the
influence of magnetic fields. Therefore, parameters such as t he refraction in-
dex, dielectric permeability and light scattering have to e nhance in-phase, while
theH2Odissociation constant depending on the probability of supe rdeformons
must decrease. The latter correlate with declined electric conductance.
As far, the magnetic moments of molecules within the coheren t su-
perclusters or polyeffectons formed by primary librational effectons
are additive parameters, then the values of changes induced by mag-
netic field must be proportional to polyeffectons sizes. Thes e sizes
are markedly higher in ice than in water and decrease with inc reas-
ing temperature.
Inasmuch the effectons and polyeffectons interact with each o ther by means
of phonons (i.e. the subsystem of secondary deformons), and the velocity of
phonons is higher in ice than in water, then the saturation of all concomitant
effects and achievement of new equilibrium state in ice is fas ter than in water.
The frequencies of geomagnetic field modulation, at which ch anges in the
properties of water and ice have maxima can correspond to the eigen-frequencies
of the [ a⇔b] equilibrium constant of primary effectons oscillations, d etermined
by [assembly ⇔disassembly] equilibrium oscillations for coherent super clusters
or polyeffectons.
The presence of dissolved molecules (ions, proteins) in wat er or ice can influ-
ence on the initial [ a⇔b] equilibrium dimensions of polyeffectons and,consequentl y
the interaction of solution with outer field.
Narrowing of1H-NMR lines in a salt-containing water and calcium bicar-
bonate solution was observed after magnetic field action. Th is indicates that the
degree of ion hydration is decreased by magnetic treatment. On the other hand,
the width of the resonance line in distilled water remains unchanged after 30
minute treatment in the field (135 kA/m ) at water flow rate of 60 cm/s (Klassen,
1982).
The hydration of diamagnetic ions ( Li+, Mg2+, Ca2+) decreases, while the
hydration of paramagnetic ions ( Fe3+, Ni2+, Cu2+) increases. It leads from
corresponding changes in ultrasound velocity in ion soluti ons (Duhanin and
Kluchnikov, 1975).
There are numerous data which pointing to an increase the coa gulation of
different particles and their sedimentation velocity after magnetic field treat-
ment. These phenomena provide a reducing the scale formatio n in heating sys-
tems, widely used in practice. Crystallization and polymer ization also increase
in magnetic field. It points to decrease of water activity.
Increasing of refraction index (n) of water and its dielectr ic per-
meability (ǫ≃n2)with in-phase enhancement of liquid viscosity (Mi-
133nenko, 1981) are in total accordance with our hierarchic vis cosity
theory.
It follows from our mesoscopic model that the increase of ( n) is related
to the increase of molecular polarizability ( α) due to the shift of ( a⇔b)tr,lb
equilibrium of primary effectons leftward under the action o f magnetic field. On
the other hand, distant Van der Waals interactions and conse quently dimensions
of primary effectons depend on α. This explains the elevation of surface tension
of liquids after magnetic treatment.
The leftward shift of ( a⇔b)tr,lbequilibrium of primary effectons must
lead to decreasing of water activity due to (n2) increasing and structural fac-
tor (T/U tot) decreasing its structure ordering. Corresponding change s in the
vapor pressure, freezing, and boiling points, coagulation , polymerization and
crystallization are the consequences of this shift and wate r activity decreasing.
It follows from our theory that any changes in condensed matt er properties
must be accompanied by change of such parameters as:
1) density;
2) sound velocity;
3) positions of translational and librational bands in osci llatory spectra;
4) refraction index.
Using our equations and computer simulations by means of ela borated com-
puter program: Comprehensive Analyzer of Matter Propertie s (CAMP), it is
possible to obtain from these changes very detailed informa tion (more than 250
parameters) about even small perturbations of matter on mes o- and macroscopic
levels.
Available experimental data indicate that all of above ment ioned 4 exper-
imental parameters of water have been changed indeed after m agnetic treat-
ment. Minenko (1981) has shown that bidistilled water density increases by
about 0 .02% after magnetic treatment (540 kA/m , flow rate 80 cm/s).Sound
velocity in distilled water increases to 0.1% after treatment under c onditions:
160kA/m and flow rate 60 cm/s.
Thepositions of the translational and librational bands of water were also
changed after magnetic treatment in 415 kA/m (Klassen, 1982).
11.5. Coherent radio-frequency oscillations in water, rev ealed by C.
Smith
It was shown experimentally by Smith (1994) that the water di splay a co-
herent properties in macroscopic scale and memory. He shows that water is
capable of retaining the frequency of an alternating magnet ic field. For a tube
of water placed inside a solenoid coil, the threshold for the alternating magnetic
field, potentiating electromagnetic frequencies into wate r, is 7.6 µT(rms). He
comes to conclusion that the frequency information is carri ed on the magnetic
vector potential.
He revealed also that in a course of yeast cells culture synch ronously di-
viding, the radio-frequency emission around 1 MHz (1061/s), 7-9 MHz (7-
9×1061/s) and 50-80 MHz (5-9 ×1071/s) with very narrow bandwidth (˜50
Hz) might be observed for a few minutes.
These frequencies could correspond to frequencies of differ ent water collective
excitations, introduced in our Hierarchic theory, like [lb /tr] macroconvertons,
134the [a⇋b]lbtransitons, etc. (see Fig. 12), taking into account the devi ation of
water properties in the colloid and biological systems as re spect to pure one.
Cyril Smith has proposed that the increasing of coherence ra dius in water
could be a consequence of coherent water clusters associati on due to Joseph-
son effect (Josephson, 1965): tunneling of molecules betwee n clusters. As
far primary librational effectons are resulted from partial Bose-condensation
of molecules, this idea looks quite acceptable in the framew ork of our Hierarchic
theory.
The coherent macroscopic oscillations in tube with water, r evealed by C.Smith
could be induced by coherent electromagnetic radiation of m icrotubules of cells,
produced by correlated intra-MTs water excitations in acco rdance with our Hi-
erarchic model of consciousness (see Kaivarainen, 1998 and ”New Articles” in
homepage: http://www.karelia.ru/˜alexk).
The biological effects of magnetically treated water can hav e very impor-
tant applications. For example, hemolysis of erythrocytes is more vigorous in
magnetically pretreated physiological solutions (Trinch er, 1967). Microwave
radiation induces the same effect (Il’ina et al., 1979). But a fter boiling such ef-
fects in the treated solutions have been disappeared. It is s hown that magnetic
treatment of water strongly stimulates the growth of corn an d plants (Klassen,
1982).
Now it is obvious that a systematic research program is neede d to understand
the physical background of multilateral effects of magnetiz ed water.
11.6. Influence of weak magnetic field on the properties of sol id
bodies
It has been established that as a result of magnetic field acti on on solids
with interaction energy ( µBH) much less than kT, many properties of matter
such as hardness, parameters of crystal cells and others cha nge significantly.
The short-time action of magnetic field on silicon semicondu ctors is followed
by a very long (many days) relaxation process. The action of m agnetic field was
in the form of about 10 impulses with a length of 0.2 ms and an am plitude of
about 105A/m. The most interesting fact was that this relaxation had an o scil-
latory character with periods of about several days (Maslov sky and Postnikov,
1989).
Such a type of long period oscillation effects has been found i n magnetic and
nonmagnetic materials.
This points to the general nature of the macroscopic oscilla tion phenomena
in solids and liquids.
The period of oscillations in solids is much longer than in li quids. This may
be due to stronger deviations of the energy of ( a) and ( b) states of primary
effectons and polyeffectons from thermal equilibrium and muc h lesser probabil-
ities of transiton and deformon excitation. Consequently, the relaxation time
of (a⇔b)tr,lbequilibrium shift in solids is much longer than in liquids. T he
oscillations originate due to instability of dynamic equil ibrium between the sub-
systems of effectons and deformons.
13511.7. Possible mechanism of perturbations of nonmagnetic m aterials
under magnetic treatment
We shall try to discuss the interaction of magnetic field with diamagnetic
matter like water as an example. The magnetic susceptibilit y (χ) of water is a
sum of two opposite contributions (Eisenberg and Kauzmann, 1969):
1) average negative diamagnetic part, induced by external m agnetic field:
¯χd=1
2(χxx+χyy+χzz)∼=−14.6(±1.9)·10−6(11.12)
2) positive paramagnetism related to the polarization of wa ter molecule due
to asymmetry of electron density distribution, existing wi thout external mag-
netic field. Paramagnetic susceptibility ( χp) ofH2Ois a tensor with the follow-
ing components:
χp
xx= 2.46·10−6;χp
yy= 0.77·10−6;χp
zz= 1.42·10−6(11.13)
The resulting susceptibility:
χH2= ¯χd+ ¯χp∼=−13·10−6(11.14)
The second contribution in the magnetic susceptibility of w ater is about 10 times
lesser than the first one. But the first contribution to the mag netic moment of
water depends on external magnetic field and must disappear w hen it is switched
out in contrast to second one.
The coherent primary librational effectons of water even in l iquid state con-
tain about 100 molecules/bracketleftBig
(nef
M)lb≃100/bracketrightBig
at room temperature (Fig.4a ). In ice
(nef
M)lb≥104. In (a)-state the vibrations of all these molecules are sync hro-
nized in the same phase, and in (b)-state - in counterphase. C orrelation of H2O
forming effectons means that the energies of interaction of w ater molecules with
external magnetic field are additive:
ǫef=nef
M·µpH (11.15)
In such a case this total energy of effecton interaction with fi eld may exceed
thermal energy:
ǫef> kT (11.16)
In the case of polyeffectons formation this inequality becom es much stronger.
It follows from our model that interaction of magnetic field w ith (a)-state
of the effectons must be stronger than that with ( b)-state due to the additivity
of the magnetic moments of coherent molecules:
136ǫef
a> ǫef
b(11.17)
Consequently, magnetic field shifts ( a⇔b)tr,lbequilibrium of the effectons
leftward. At the same time it minimizes the potential energy of matter, because
potential energy of ( a)-state ( Va) is lesser than ( Vb):
Va< Vband Ea< E b, (11.18)
where Ea=Va+Ta
kin;Eb=Vb+Tb
kinare total energies of the effectons.
We keep in mind that the kinetic energies of ( a) and ( b)-states are equal:
Ta
kin=Tb
kin=p2/2m.
These energies decreases with increasing of the effectons di mensions, deter-
mined by the most probable impulses in selected directions:
λ1,2,3=h/p1,2,3
The energy of interaction of magnetic field with deformons as a transition state
of effectons must be even less than ǫef
bdue to lesser order of molecules in this
state and reciprocal compensation of their magnetic moment s:
ǫd< ǫef
b≤ǫef
a (11.19)
This important inequality means that as a result of external magnetic field
action the shift of ( a⇔b)tr,lbleftward is reinforced by leftward shift of equilib-
rium [effectons ⇋deformons] subsystems of matter.
If water is flowing in a tube it increases the relative orienta tions of all ef-
fectons in volume and stimulate the coherent superclusters formation. All the
above discussed effects must increase. Similar ordering phe nomena happen in a
rotating tube with liquid.
After switching off the external magnetic field the relaxatio n ofinduced ferro-
magnetism in water begins. It may be accompanied by the oscillatory beh avior
of (a⇔b)tr,lbequilibrium. All the experimental effects discussed above c an
be explained as a consequence of orchestrated in volume ( a⇔b) equilibrium
oscillations.
Remnant ferromagnetism in water was experimentally establ ished using a
SQUID superconducting magnetometer by Kaivarainen et al. i n 1992 at Phys-
ical department of University of Turku (unpublished data).
In these experiments water was treated in constant magnetic field 50 Gfor
two hours. Then it was frozen and after switching off external magnetic field the
remnant ferromagnetism was registered at helium temperatu re. Even at this low
temperature the slow relaxation of ferromagnetic signal am plitude was revealed.
These results point to the correctness of the proposed mecha nism of magnetic
field - water interaction and perturbation. In the future thi s mechanism can be
developed to quantitative level.
The attempt to make a theory of magnetic field influence on wate r based on
other model were made already (Yashkichev, 1980). However, this theory does
137not take into account the quantum properties of water and can not be considered
as a complete one.
The comprehensive material obtained by group of S. Shnol (19 87, 1998)
when studying macroscopic oscillations of very different na ture reveals their
fundamental character and their dependence on gravitation al coherent global
perturbations.

12. INNOVATION, BASED ON NEW THEORY:
Comprehensive Analyzer of Matter Properties (CAMP)
[see: www.karelia.ru/˜alexk (CAMP)]
The set of formulae obtained in our theory allows to calculat e about 300
parameters of any condensed matter (liquid or solid). Most o f them are hidden,
i.e. inaccessible for direct experimental measurements.
Simulations evaluation of these parameters can be done usin g our computer
program: CAMP (copyright 1997) and the following experimen tal methods:
1. Far-middle IR spectroscopy for determination the positi ons of transla-
tional or librational bands: (30-2500) cm-1;
2. Sound velocimetry;
3. Dilatometry or densitometry, for molar volume or density registration;
4. Refractometry.
Corresponding data should be obtained simultaneously at th e same temper-
ature and pressure from the SAME SAMPLE in ideal case. Among t he param-
eters of matter evaluated are so important as: internal ener gy, heat capacity,
thermal conductivity, viscosity, coefficient of self-diffus ion, surface tension, sol-
vent activity, vapor pressure, internal pressure, paramet ers of all types of quasi-
particles (concentration, volume, dimensions, energy, pr obability of excitation,
life-time) and many others.
This leads to idea of new optoacoustic device: Comprehensiv e Analyzer of
Matter Properties (CAMP), which may provide a huge amount of data of any
condensed system under study. The most complicated and expe nsive component
of CAMP is FT-IR spectrometer for far and middle region. The m ost sensitive
parameter is sound velocity. The less sensitive and stable p arameter is molar
volume or density.
One of possible CAMP configuration should include special at tachment to
FT-IR spectrometer, making it possible registration of refl ection spectra in
far/middle IR region. Such approach allows to study the prop erties of sam-
ples with strong IR absorption (i.e. aqueous systems) and no n transparent
mediums. The combination of modified FT-IR spectrometer wit h other equip-
ment for simultaneous measurement of matter density and sou nd velocity and
refraction index will provide 4 parameters, necessary for C AMP function. The
sample cell for liquids and solids should have a shape, conve nient to make all
these measurements simultaneously.
The another configuration of CAMP may include except FT-IR, t he Brillouin
light scattering spectrometer. It makes possible simultan eous measurement of
138sound velocity (from the Doppler shift of side bands of Brill ouin spectra) and
positions of intermolecular bands [tr and lb] in oscillator y spectra in the far IR.
Our hierarchic theory of Brillouin light scattering gives m uch more information
about condensed matter properties than conventional one.
The interface of CAMP with personal computer will allow moni toring of very
different dynamic physical process in real time, using our co mputer program.
Possible Applications for Comprehensive
Analyzer of Matter Properties (CAMP)

of drinking water; b) stimulation of sonoluminiscense; c) d evelopment of pure
energy technology; d) cold fusion stimulation.
Application to nonaqueous systems
1. Fundamental research in all branches of condensed matter physics: ther-
modynamics, dynamics, phase transitions, transport proce ss, surface tension,
self-diffusion, viscosity, vapor pressure, etc.
2. Monitoring of new materials technology for searching the optimal condi-
tions (T, P, physical fields) for providing the optimal param eters on mesoscopic
and macroscopic scale for their best quality;
3. Study of mechanism of high-temperature superconductivi ty;
4. Study of mechanism of superfluidity.
Comprehensive Analyzer of Matter Properties (CAMP) repres ents a basi-
cally new type of scientific equipment, allowing to get incom parable big amount
of information concerning physics of liquids or solids. It c an be very useful for
investigation of dynamics and mesoscopic structure of pure matter as well as
solid and liquid solutions, the colloid systems and host-gu est systems.
139The market for Comprehensive Analyzer of Matter Properties (CAMP) is
free and due to its unique informational potential could be m uch bigger than
that for IR, Raman or Brillouin spectrometers.
CONCLUSION
A quantum based new hierarchic quantitative theory, genera l for solids
and liquids, has been developed. It is assumed, that anharmo nic oscillations of
particles in any condensed matter lead to emergence of three -dimensional (3D)
superposition of standing de Broglie waves of molecules, el ectromagnetic and
acoustic waves. Consequently, any condensed matter could b e considered as a
gas of 3D standing waves of corresponding nature. Our approa ch unifies and
develops the Einstein’s and Debye’s models.
Collective excitations, like 3D standing de Broglie waves o f molecules, rep-
resenting at certain conditions the molecular Bose condens ate, were analyzed,
as a background of hierarchic model of condensed matter.
The most probable de Broglie wave (wave B) length is determin ed by the
ratio of Plank constant to the most probable impulse of molec ules, or by ratio
of its most probable phase velocity to frequency. The waves B of molecules are
related to their translations (tr) and librations (lb).
As the quantum dynamics of condensed matter is anharmonic an d does not
follow the classical Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, the real most probable de
Broglie wave length can exceed the classical thermal de Brog lie wave length and
the distance between centers of molecules many times.
This makes possible the atomic and molecular mesoscopic Bos e condensa-
tion in solids and liquids at temperatures, below boiling po int. It is one of the
most important results of new theory, which we have confirmed by computer
simulations on examples of water and ice and applying to Viri al theorem.
Four strongly interrelated new types of quasiparticles (collective excita-
tions) were introduced in our hierarchic model:
1.Effectons (tr and lb) , existing in ”acoustic” (a) and ”optic” (b) states
represent the coherent clusters in general case ;
2.Convertons , corresponding to interconversions between trandlbtypes of
the effectons (flickering clusters);
3.Transitons are the intermediate [ a⇋b] transition states of the trandlb
effectons;
4.Deformons are the 3D superposition of IR electromagnetic or acoustic
waves, activated by transitons andconvertons.
Primary effectons (tr and lb) are formed by 3D superposition of the
most probable standing de Broglie waves of the oscillating ions, atoms or
molecules. The volume of effectons (tr and lb) may contain fro m less than one,
to tens and even thousands of molecules. The first condition m eans validity
ofclassical approximation in description of the subsystems of the effect ons.
The second one points to quantum properties of coherent clusters due to
mesoscopic Bose condensation (BC), in contrast to macrosco pic BC,
pertinent for superfluidity and supercoductivity .
The liquids are semiclassical systems because their primar y (tr) effectons
contain less than one molecule and primary (lb) effectons - mo re than one
140molecule. The solids are quantum systems totally because both kind of t heir pri-
mary effectons (tr and lb) are mesoscopic molecular Bose cond ensates. These
consequences of our theory are confirmed by computer simulat ions.
The 1st order [ gas→liquid ] transition is accompanied by strong decreas-
ing of number of rotational (librational) degrees of freedo m due to emergence of
primary (lb) effectons and [ liquid →solid] transition - by decreasing of trans-
lational degrees of freedom due to Bose-condensation of pri mary (tr) effectons.
In the general case the effecton can be approximated by parall elepiped with
edges determined by de Broglie waves length in three selecte d directions (1, 2, 3),
related to symmetry of molecular dynamics. In the case of iso tropic molecular
motion the effectons’ shape is approximated by cube.
The number of molecules in the volume of primary effectons (tr and lb) is
considered as the ”parameter of order” in our theory of 1st or der phase transi-
tions.
The in-phase oscillations of molecules in the effectons corr espond to the
effecton’s (a) - acoustic state and the counterphase oscillations correspond to
their (b) - optic state. States (a) and (b) of the effectons differ in potential
energy only, however, their kinetic energies, impulses and spatial dimensions -
are the same. The b-state of the effectons has a common feature with
Fr¨ olich’s polar mode.
The ( a→b) or (b→a) transition states of the primary effectons (tr and
lb), defined as primary transitons, are accompanied by a chan ge in molecule
polarizability and dipole moment without density fluctuati ons. At this case
they lead to absorption or radiation of IR photons, respecti vely.
Superposition of three internal standing IR photons of diffe rent directions
(1,2,3) - forms primary electromagnetic deformons (tr and l b).
On the other hand, the [lb ⇋tr]convertons andsecondary transitons are
accompanied by the density fluctuations, leading to absorpt ion or radiation of
phonons.
Superposition of standing phonons in three directions (1,2 ,3), forms sec-
ondary acoustic deformons (tr and lb).
Correlated collective excitations of primary and secondar y effectons and de-
formons (tr and lb), localized in the volume of primary tr and lb electromag-
netic deformons, lead to origination of macroeffectons, macrotransitons
andmacrodeformons (tr and lb respectively) .
Correlated simultaneous excitations of tr and lb macroeffec tons in the vol-
ume of superimposed trandlbelectromagnetic deformons lead to origination
ofsupereffectons.
In turn, the simultaneous excitation of both: trandlb macrodeformons
and macroconvertons in the same volume means origination of superdefor-
mons. Superdeformons are the biggest (cavitational) fluctuation s, leading to
microbubbles in liquids and to local defects in solids.
Total number of quasiparticles of condensed matter equal to 4!=24, reflects
all of possible combinations of the four basic ones [1-4], in troduced above. This
set of collective excitations in the form of ”gas” of 3D stand ing waves of three
types: de Broglie, acoustic and electromagnetic - is shown t o be able to explain
virtually all the properties of all condensed matter.
The important positive feature of our hierarchic model of ma tter is that it
does not need the semi-empiric intermolecular potentials f or calculations, which
141are unavoidable in existing theories of many body systems. T he potential energy
of intermolecular interaction is involved indirectly in di mensions and stability
of quasiparticles, introduced in our model.
The main formulae of theory are the same for liquids and solid s and include
following experimental parameters, which take into accoun t their different prop-
erties:
[1]- Positions of (tr) and (lb) bands in oscillatory spectra ;
[2]- Sound velocity;
[3]- Density;
[4]- Refraction index.
The knowledge of these four basic parameters at the same temp erature and
pressure makes it possible using our computer program, to ev aluate more than
300 important characteristics of any condensed matter. Amo ng them are such
as: total internal energy, kinetic and potential energies, heat-capacity and ther-
mal conductivity, surface tension, vapor pressure, viscos ity, coefficient of self-
diffusion, osmotic pressure, solvent activity, etc. Most of calculated parameters
are hidden, i.e. inaccessible to direct experimental measu rement.
This is the first theory able to predict all known experimenta l anomalies for
water and ice. The conformity between theory and experiment is very good
even without adjustable parameters.
The hierarchic concept creates a bridge between micro- and m acro- phenom-
ena, dynamics and thermodynamics, liquids and solids in ter ms of quantum
physics.
Computerized verification of our Hierarchic theory of matte r on
examples of water and ice has been performed, using special c omputer
program: Comprehensive Analyzer of Matter Properties (CAM P,
copyright, 1997, Kaivarainen). The new optoacoustic devic e (CAMP),
based on this program, with possibilities much wider, than t hat of IR,
Raman and Brillouin spectrometers, has been proposed by the author
(see URL: http://www.karelia.ru/˜alexk [CAMP]).
The demo (free) and commercial version of program are availa ble
and may be ordered.

1 Relativistic integro-differential form of the Lorentz-Dirac equation in 3D
without runaways

2 Abstract
It is well known that the third-order Lorentz-Dirac equation admits ‘runaway’ solutions wherein
the energy of the particle grows without limit, even when there is no external force. These solutions can be denied simply on physical grounds, and on the basis of careful analysis of the correspondence between classical and quantum theory. Nonetheless, one would prefer an equation that did not admit unphysical behavior at the outset. Such an equation - an integro-differential version of the Lorentz-Dirac equation – is currently available either in 1 dimension only, or in 3 dimensions only in the non-relativistic limit. It is shown herein how the Lorentz-Dirac equation may be integrated without approximation, and is thereby converted to a second-order integro-differential equation in 3D satisfying the above requirement. I.E., as a result, no additional constraints on the solutions are required because runaway solutions are intrinsically absent. The derivation is placed within the historical context established by standard works on classical electrodynamics by Rohrlich, and by Jackson.
Introduction
The Lorentz-Dirac equation (LDE) describes the motion of a classical charged particle subject to
both an external force and self-interaction due to radiation. An undesirable characteristic is the prediction of an exponential (runaway) acceleration in the absence of an applied force. The source of the trouble may be traced to the third order derivative with respect to time. Since one would prefer a second order equation anyhow, a natural approach is to convert the original LDE into a second order equation by integrating over time. At the same time, one might take the opportunity to eliminate the runaway solution by a suitable choice for the constant of integration. This is the method cited by Jackson [1], as it applies to a non-relativistic (and thereby linearized) version of the LDE. It is successful in that runaway solutions are absent. The same approach was employed by Rohrlich [2] to the relativistic LDE, but without success; his resulting equation still permits runaway solutions. The attempt failed because he was unable to combine the acceleration and radiation parts (times an integrating factor) as a total differential in proper time. Jackson and Rohrlich are referred to herein because they are standard texts on classical theory. However, for an earlier review of the subject that is both lucid and thorough, the reader is referred to Erber [3]. The first appearance of the non-relativistic integro-differential form of the LDE is due to Haag [4], (and subsequently - in English - Plass [5]). It has been shown that the non-relativistic integro-differential form of the LDE is the finite-point limit of a finite-size (non-relativistic) model of the electron [6, 7, 8]. Since the latter is free of runaway solutions, this may be regarded as evidence in favor of the validity of the integro-differential form, over the original LDE. Also, (very importantly), Sharp [9] has shown that the non-relativistic integro-differential LDE corresponds to the quantum theory of a non-relativistic charge coupled to the quantized electromagnetic field (neither of which, therefore, display runaway solutions). Both these results point to the need for a relativistic generalization of the existing non-relativistic integro-differential version of the LDE.
3 Barut [10] has proposed a method to eliminate both the runaway and pre-acceleration behavior of
the LDE by making the Abraham vector disappear when the external field disappears. However, as pointed out by Blanco [11], such an equation is essentially quite different from the original LDE. Jimenez and Hirsch [12] suggest that the non-relativistic LDE be supplemented by an external, stochastic, electromagnetic field, in the spirit of Stochastic Electrodynamics (see for instance [13])). This, they argue, has the effect of eliminating the undesirable runaway behavior without modification of the LDE (to an integro-differential form). Their program, though promising, potentially suffers from an externally-induced runaway problem unless the stochastic field is band-limited (which would be similar to supposing a finite-sized charge).
Runaway solutions of the Lorentz-Dirac equation
The Lorentz-Dirac equation in proper time is [1,2]

where the force f can depend on τ explicitly, and implicitly via the position and its derivatives.

00 0 6emτπ ε= is (2/3) the time it takes for light to travel across the classical
electron radius. The notorious runaway solution is most easily demonstrated in one dimension, wherein the
LDE is easily linearized [2]. With the substitution ()() sinh dx d wττ= , one obtains from Eq. (1)
00 ww f mτ−=!! ! , (2)
where f is the ordinary Newton force in the x direction. It is clear that even when there is no external force,
(f = 0), w may increase without limit, since () 0 expw ττ " is a solution. This causes dx dτand γ to increase
without limit, giving rise to the interpretation that the particle has accelerated to the speed of light and has
acquired an infinite kinetic energy. The reason for the presence of such solutions may be traced to the intrinsically non-conservative nature of the equation of motion. It was conceived to account for losses due to radiation, but turns out to admit gains, presumably by the same mechanism.
The non-relativistic integro-differential equation
When the velocities are small compared to c,
γ ≈ 1, dτ ≈ dt, and Eq. (1) becomes
00 0dmmdtτ−=aaf . (3)
(This non-relativistic form of the LDE is also called the Abraham-Lorentz equation.) It suffers from the
same runaway solution as Eq. (2) - the relativistic one-dimensional result written in hyperbolic co-ordinates. The traditional remedy [1] is to replace Eq. (3) with the integro-differential equation
() 00
0smd s e t s τ∞
−=+∫af . (4)
4 It is readily verified upon substitution that the x that solve this equation are a subset of those that solve
Eq. (3). It is also clear that, provided f vanishes in the remote future, the acceleration also vanishes in the
remote future. Not only does this prescription eliminate the runaway solution, but it also restores the boundary condition requirements to those of a second order differential equation, e.g.: the position and velocity are given at some time. This time need not be when the force is zero (i.e. the remote past or the remote future); it may be any time. Though the runaway behavior is tamed, it is at the expense of an acausal connection between the applied force and the resulting acceleration. Specifically, it is seen from Eq. (4) that the acceleration depends on future forces (exhibits pre-acceleration). However, the temporal range,
τ0, of that dependency, is such that pre-acceleration is too small to be observed on classical time scales.
Rohrlich’s relativistic integro-differential equation
It is carefully argued by Rohrlich [2] that runaway solutions must be denied by imposing a suitable
constraint, i.e., a boundary condition on the acceleration. In this paper, we will be content with the condition
222
22 2lim 0 lim 0 lim 0
ttdx dx d
dd t d tµµ
ττ →+∞ →+∞ →+∞=⇔ =⇔ =x, (5)
since we require an acceptable prediction of future behavior based on some ‘initial’ condition, given at some
nominal but finite time. With the aim of integrating the constraint into the equation of motion, Rohrlich investigates a formal integration of Eq. (1),
()() () ()0 0 2

where Aµ is a 4-vector constant of integration. He sets Aµ = 0, and considers the new equation as a possible
replacement for Eq. (1). However, as he points out, setting Aµ to zero guarantees only that 0 lim 0eaττ
µτ−
→∞=
which, clearly, is weaker than the requirement that the acceleration vanish, Eq. (5). Therefore we conclude
that Eq. (6) with Aµ = 0 is unsatisfactory, since a supplemental constraint must still be imposed to filter out
the unphysical behavior.
An integrating factor for the Lorentz-Dirac equation
A fully relativistic integro-differential form of the Lorentz-Dirac equation that does not admit
runaway solutions (and therefore does not require supplemental constraints) is possible if a suitable
integrating factor for the original LDE can be found. If it exists, an integrating factor (){}SSν

5 will permit - via the integration of Eq. (7) – the imposition of boundary conditions Eq. (5) on the
acceleration. For this integrating factor to exist, by carrying out the differentiation in Eq. (7) and comparing with Eq. (1) left multiplied by S, it must be true that

where none of the elements of S can depend on the acceleration a. A substitution into Eq. (8) of

where (){}RRν
µτ≡ , removes the exponential decay factor to give the requirement that R satisfy
2 dRaa R udτ= . (10)
There are only three independent equations in Eq. (1) because the product of both sides with the four-
velocity is identically zero. As a consequence, for any ()bµτ, () Rbuν ν
µµτ= sets each side of Eq. (7) to zero,
and so cannot be a candidate for the integrating factor. It follows that R cannot have a unique solution,
since any candidate solution RCνν
µµ= say will generate a family of solutions just by addition of this ‘null’
solution: () RC buνν ν
µµ µ τ =+ . Of course, whatever form is chosen, that choice cannot impact the equation of
motion for each component of xµ.

6 R does not behave like a tensor under boosts, and is therefore not a Lorentz tensor. However, it does behave
like a tensor under spatial rotations and space and time translations, and is therefore a Euclidean tensor. Nonetheless, the Lorentz invariance of the Lorentz-Dirac equation is preserved. This can be seen more readily if Eq. (13) is written as
00 0ˆda dRma m R a fddτττ−+ =, (15)
whereupon it apparent that the requirement is not that R be a Lorentz tensor, but that ˆdRRadτ be a true 4-
vector. The latter is guaranteed by design. Specifically it is equal to a2u, in conformity with Eq. (1), as may
be confirmed using Eqs. (11) and (14).

where τc is the time at which the proper acceleration is presumed known. We are now in a position to
impose the requirement that the acceleration in the remote future, τc = +∞ - when the force has long since

which may be recognized as a relativistic version of the non-relativistic form, Eq. (4). It is easily seen that,
having isolated the second derivative on the left hand side, the acceleration is guaranteed to vanish in the remote future if the force also vanishes then. Therefore, the solution is evidently free of runaways. Further, it is evident that solutions of this equation are a subset of the solutions of the original Lorentz-Dirac equation, Eq. (1). Therefore, it can be concluded that the integro-differential equation Eq. (18) is the physically correct equation of motion for a classical charged particle; it retains the properties of the original Lorentz-Dirac equation without the unphysical behavior. Since it is not immediately evident from Eq. (18), we here confirm that, as required, the acceleration is orthogonal to the velocity. Taking the 4-vector product of Eq. (18) with the velocity gives

Proper-time vector form
The 3-vector form of Eq. (18) is obtained as follows. Given {} 0, fuλ=−u.f f , where f is the ordinary
Newton force vector (i.e., borrowed from dp/dt = f), and 0 1 uγ== + u.u, then, using Eq. (11), one obtains

Summary
A physically acceptable relativistic equation of motion for a classical charged particle in 3 spatial
dimensions has been derived that has the properties desired of the original Lorentz-Dirac equation, but without the unphysical behavior. The exclusion of runaway solutions has been achieved by finding an integrating factor for the original Lorentz-Dirac equation so that the acceleration can be written as an integral operator on the force.

Abstract
We explore the effects of ultrafast shaped pulses for two-lev el systems that
do not have a single photon resonance by developing a multiph oton density-
matrix approach. We take advantage of the fact that the dynam ics of the
intermediate virtual states are absent within our laser pul se timescales. Under
these conditions, the multiphoton results are similar to th e single photon and
that it is possible to extend the single photon coherent cont rol ideas to develop
multiphoton coherent control.

1I. INTRODUCTION
Use of optimally shaped pulses to guide the time evolution of a system and thereby
control its future is an active field of research in recent yea rs [1]- [16]. Such developments
have been spurred by technological breakthroughs permitti ng arbitrarily amplitude mod-
ulated laser pulses with 20-30 fs resolution and pulse energ ies ranging to almost hundred
microjoules–either in the time domain or in the frequency do main. In most practical cases,
computer optimizations are used to generate the useful shap es [1]- [7], since even approx-
imate analytical solutions exist only for very specialized cases [7]- [12]. Such computer
simulations have resulted in generating quite complicated theoretical waveforms that can
break strong bonds [1]- [4], localize excitation [13]. Most of these interesting calculations
involve intense pulses, which do not operate in the linear re sponse regime. Actual photo-
chemical processes with such intense pulses that operate be yond the linear response region
often involve multiphoton effects. Unfortunately, multiph oton interactions typically induce
additional complications and have not yet been explored muc h theoretically for coherent
control purposes. In fact, most models for coherent control deal with light-matter interac-
tion at the single-photon level. However, some recent exper iments show that they can even
simplify quantum interference effects; e.g., how Cs atoms ca n be made to absorb or not
absorb light with non-resonant two-photon excitation with shaped optical pulses [14,15].
The experimental results have been treated with a perturbat ion model that works under
the resonant condition. However, a more complete theoretic al treatment of multiphoton
interactions for developing multiphoton coherent control is quite complex and is far from
complete. In fact, the lack of such a theoretical basis is als o evident from the fact that in the
classic demonstration of control of multiphoton ionizatio n process, an experimentally opti-
mized feedback pulse shaping was found to provide the best-d esired yield [16]. In the present
work, we develop a density matrix approach to multiphoton pr ocesses that do not have any
lower-order process and demonstrate that can also explain t he off-resonance behavior.
We present results, which show that this would be a promising approach. We first apply
2the approach to the two-photon scenario in a simple two-leve l system (e.g., any narrow,
single-photon transition line that is only multiphoton all owed). We then generalize the
results to the case where only one N-photon (N ≥2, which is multiphoton) transition is
possible and none of the (N-1) photon transition can exist. U nder these conditions, we
show that most of the waveforms produce the same results as th e single photon case [18].
With care, therefore, we predict that it will be possible to e xtend some of the single photon
coherent control ideas to develop multiphoton coherent con trol. We explore the various
frequency-swept pulses into the multiphoton domain, which have been previously shown to
be successful in inducing robust inversions under single-p hoton adiabatic conditions. We also
investigate the case of phase modulated overlapped Gaussia n pulses for two-photon transition
(in the spirit of a “dark” pulse of Meshulach and Silberberg, which they defined as “a single
burst of optical field” that does not produce any net populati on transfer [15]). We show
that the two-photon dark pulses, which are a result of smooth ly varying phase modulation,
can be explained by invoking the well-established concept o f single photon adiabatic rapid
passage (ARP) [17,18] to the multiphoton framework. In fact , the ARP explanation allows
us to generalize the results to the N-photon case and show tha t such dark pulses are a result
of the Stark shifting of the resonant Nthphoton transition. The extension of the concept of
ARP into the multiphoton domain has very important conseque nces in generating inherent
robust processes.
II. FORMALISM
The simplest model describing a molecular system is an isola ted two-level system or
ensemble without relaxation or inhomogeneities. This simp le model often turns out to be a
very practical model for most systems interacting with the f emtosecond laser pulses as the
magnitude of the relaxation processes are immensely large a s compared to the femtosecond
interaction time. Let us consider a linearly polarized puls e is being applied to the |1>→|2>
transition, where |1>and|2>represent the ground and excited eigenlevels, respectivel y,
3of the field-free Hamiltonian. In case of single photon inter actions (Fig. 1a), the total
laboratory-frame Hamiltonian for such two-level system un der the effect of an applied laser
field,E(t) =ε(t)ei[ω(t)t+φ(t)]=ε(t)ei[ω+˙φ(t)]tcan be written as [10,17]:
H=

−ωR
2µ.ε
¯hei(ω t+φ)

(1)
where ωR=ω2−ω1is resonance frequency, V12andV21are the negative interaction poten-
tials and hω1, hω 2are the energies of ground ( E1) and excited state ( E2) respectively, and µ
is the transition dipole moment of the |1>→|2>transition. In analogy to this single photon
interaction as given in Eqn. (1), the interaction potential under the effect of an applied laser
field, in two-photon absorption case (Fig. 1b) can be written as:
V(t) =µ1mε(t)ei(ω t+φ(t))|1/angbracketright /angbracketleftm|µm2ε(t)ei(ω t+φ(t))|m/angbracketright/angbracketleft2|+c.c. (2)
where mis the virtual state. Let us, for simplicity, take the transi tion dipole moment
between the ground state to the virtual sate to be equal to the transition dipole moment
between the virtual state and excited state ( µ1m=µm2=µ). In fact, we have verified in our
simulations that the trend of the results is preserved even w hen we relax this simplification.
In any event, for developing the initial model, the above sai d simplification allows us to take
µas a common factor and we can rewrite Eqn. (2) as:
V(t) = (µ ε(t))2e2i(ω t+φ(t))|1/angbracketright/angbracketleft2|+c.c. (3)
since for normalized states, < m|m >= 1. Using similar arguments for the N-photon case
(Fig. 1c), the interaction potential can be written as:
V(t) = (µ ε(t))NeiN(ω t+φ(t))|1/angbracketright/angbracketleft2|+c.c. (4)
Thus, the total laboratory-frame N-photon Hamiltonian will be:
H=
¯hω1 (µ.E)N
(µ.E∗)N¯hω2

4The virtual levels for the two-photon (or N-photon) case can exist anywhere within the
bandwidth ∆ ωof the applied laser pulse (Fig. 1) and the individual virtua l state dynamics
is of no consequence.
In analogy to the single photon case [11,12], there are two di fferent ways to transform the
elements of the above laboratory frame N-photon Hamiltonia n (Eqn. (5)) into a rotating
frame of reference. Any time-dependent transformation fun ctionTcan be applied on both
sides of the Schrodinger equation as follows:
T/parenleftig
i¯h∂
∂tΨ =HΨ/parenrightig
i¯h∂
∂t(TΨ)−i¯h∂T
∂t(T−1T)Ψ = TH(T−1T)Ψ
i¯h∂
∂t(TΨ) =/bracketleftig
THT−1+i¯h∂T
∂tT−1/bracketrightig
(TΨ)(6)
which results the following transformation equation:
HTransformed=THT−1+i¯hT−1∂T
∂t(7)
The usual frame of reference would be to rotate at Nω. This is the phase-modulated
(PM) frame of reference, which can be derived from the Hamilt onian Hof Eqn. (5) by the
transformation:
TPM=
e−iNω t
20
0 eiNω t
2
(8)
Using of Eqn. (7), the transformed Hamiltonian in the PM fram e is:
HPM= ¯h
∆µ(ε(t))N
¯heiNφ
µ(ε∗(t))N
¯he−iNφ0
(9)
under the assumption that the transient dipole moment of the individual intermediate virtual
states in the multiphon ladder all add up constructively to t he final state transition dipole
moment and can be approximated to a constant ( µ) over the N-photon electric field interac-
tion. This approximation is particularly valid for the case of multiphoton interaction with
femtosecond pulses where no intermediate virtual level dyn amics can be observed. Thus,
we define multiphoton Rabi Frequency, as the complex conjuga te pairs: Ω(t)= µ.(ε(t))N/¯h
5and Ω∗(t)=µ.(ε∗(t))N/¯h, and the time-independent multiphoton detuning as: ∆ = ωR−Nω
(Fig. 1c). However, in order to investigate the off-resonanc e behavior of continuously mod-
ulated pulses, in the single photon case, it is useful to perf orm an alternate rotating-frame
transformation to a frequency modulated (FM) frame with the transformation function:
TFM=
e−iNω t+φ
20
0 eiNω t+φ
2
(10)
to transform the N-photon laboratory Hamiltonian in Eqn. (5 ) to the FM frame as:
HFM= ¯h
∆ +N˙φ(t)µ.(ε(t))N
¯h
µ.(ε∗(t))N
¯h0
= ¯h
∆ +N˙φ(t) Ω
Ω∗0
(11)
The time derivative of the phase function ˙φ(t),i.e., frequency modulation, appears
as an additional resonance offset over and above the time-ind ependent detuning ∆, while
the direction of the field in the orthogonal plane remains fixe d. The time evolution of
the unrelaxed two-level system can then be evaluated by inte grating the Liouville equation
[10,17]:
dρ(t)
dt=i
¯h/bracketleftig
ρ(t), HFM(t)/bracketrightig
(12)
where ρ(t) is a 2 ×2 density matrix whose diagonal elements represent populat ions in the
ground and excited states and off-diagonal elements represe nt coherent superposition of
states. This approach has been very successful in solving ma ny single-photon inversion
processes for arbitrarily shaped amplitude and frequency m odulated pulses [12], [13]. We
have just extended the same arguments to the multiphoton cas e.
The simulations are performed with a laser pulse that either has (a) a Gaussian intensity
profile or (b) a hyperbolic secant intensity profile which hav e the following respective forms:
(a) I(t) =I0exp/bracketleftig
−8ln2 (t/τ)2/bracketrightig

6where τis the full width at half maximum, and I(t)is the pulse intensity. This is because
most of the commercially available pulsed laser sources hav e these intrinsic laser parameters.
We choose a range of frequency sweeps, such as (c) the linear f requency sweep for the
Gaussian amplitude, (d) the hyperbolic tangent sweep for th e hyperbolic secant amplitude,
and they have the following respective forms:
(c)˙φ(t) =bt
(d)˙φ(t) =b/braceleftig
2ln/parenleftig
2 +√
3/parenrightig/bracerightig
tanh/bracketleftig/braceleftig
2ln/parenleftig
2 +√
3/parenrightig/bracerightig
(t/τ)/bracketrightig (14)
where bis a constant. Such pulses have been shown to invert populati on through ARP in
single photon case and so we choose to use these particular sh apes for the multiphoton case.
We also use the shaped overlapping Gaussian pulses for a two- photon transition similar
to the ones used by Meshulach and Silberberg. In their case th e frequency sweep is given
by:
˙φ(t) =
b t ≥t0
−b t < t 0(15)
where t0is the midpoint of the pulse. This pulse does not satisfy the A RP condition and
is quite susceptible to the changes in the pulse amplitude pr ofile and our results show this
in the next section. However, if we instead use smoothly vary ing linear frequency sweeps,
either changing monotonically as in Eqn. (14c), or linearly approaching and going away
from resonance as given by:
˙φ(t) =bt,where bchanges sign at t0 (16)
These pulses satisfy the ARP conditions as explained in the n ext section. Dark pulses
given by Eqn (16) are thus quite insensitive to the changes in the pulse amplitude profile.
We also extend our calculations to the N-photon case in a simp le two-level type of system
that supports only an Nthphoton transition and show how the phase switches effect the
population cycling. These generalizations would become ev ident when we examine the
results based on the ARP extended to multiphoton case.
7III. RESULTS & DISCUSSION
The population evaluation in a simple two level system witho ut relaxation for one photon
absorption (N=1) is shown in Fig. 2 for the pulse shapes given by Eqns. (13) and (14).
Excitation exactly on resonance creates a complete populat ion inversion when the pulse
area (the time integral of the Rabi frequency) equals π. However, the population oscillates
between the ground and excited state as sine function with re spect to the Rabi frequency.
These oscillations are not desirable in most cases involvin g real atoms or molecules. They are
washed out by inhomogeneous broadening, the transverse Gau ssian profile of the laser, and
(in the molecular case) different values of µ.ε. For a single-photon case, as discussed in Ref.
[18], frequency modulated pulses can instead produce adiab atic inversion, which avoids these
complications. A linearly frequency swept (chirped) laser pulse can be generated by sweeping
from far above resonance to far below resonance (blue to red s weeps), or alternatively from
far below resonance to far above resonance (red to blue sweep s). When the frequency
sweep is sufficiently slow such that the irradiated system can evolve with the applied sweep,
the transitions are “adiabatic”. If this adiabatic process is faster than the characteristic
relaxation time of the system, a smooth population inversio n occurs with the evolution of
the pulse, which is the well-known ARP.
Let us now extend the effect of such laser pulses (given by Eqns . (13) and (14)) to a
two-photon (N=2) case as derived in our Hamiltonian of Eqn. ( 11). Fig. 3 shows the plots
of the upper state population ( ρ22) as a function of applied Rabi frequency and detuning
for two photon absorption case in the absence of one photon ab sorption. We find that the
results are qualitatively the same as the one-photon absorp tion. In fact, our simulations
show that for such a simple case of a two-level system, where o nly an Nthphoton transition
is possible, we can extend our single-photon results to the N -photon case. The difference
lies in the Rabi frequency scaling. Thus, for this simple cas e as defined here, we are able to
invoke the concept of ARP for multiphoton interaction.
We next use the overlapping Gaussian pulses (when the overla p is complete it collapses
8into a single Gaussian) with different phase relationships. Our simulation shows that for
shaped overlapping Gaussian pulses the excited sate popula tion depends on the form of the
frequency sweep. In figure 4a, for the shaped pulse without sw eep the population of excited
state oscillates symmetrically. For a simple monotonicall y increasing or decreasing sweep
around resonance, it behaves like a Guassian pulse with line ar sweep (Fig. 4b). These
results essentially confirm another important implication of the adiabatic principle: that
the exact amplitude of the pulse is not very important under t he adiabatic limit. Again, for
this simple case, we are able to invoke the concept of ARP for m ultiphoton interaction to
explain the inversion.
The phase modulated overlapped Gaussian pulses are of inter est since Meshulach and
Silberberg had experimentally switched the phase of the sec ond pulse with respect to the
first pulse and demonstrated two-photon excited state popul ation modulation. However, the
phase switch in their pulse shapes was abrupt as given by Eqn. (15), and thus did not satisfy
the ARP condition. As a result the population transfer with s uch pulses are very heavily
dependent on the actual shape of the pulse. Figs. 5 shows that the upper state population
for two photon absorption in the absence of one photon absorp tion is heavily dependent
on the nature of the phase step, the intensity and the extent o f overlap of the pulses. At
some particular phase switch, there is no excited-state pop ulation, and they called it the
dark pulse. We show that it is indeed true for a specific overla pped amplitude profile and
intensity for a given phase switching position. These dark p ulses, however, are sensitive to
the exact nature of the amplitude profile and intensity.
If instead we choose a smoothly varying linear frequency swe eping to the two-photon
resonance and then away from resonance, as given by Eqn. (16) , the results are quite robust
to the exact nature of the amplitude profile and intensity (Fi g. 6). At detuning zero and for
small values of Rabi frequency, we have some population in ex cited state. However, when
the intensity of applied pulse increases, the excited state population returns to zero. In
other words, we are sending shaped pulse into the two-level s ystem but finally there is no
excited-state population. Curiously enough, for such puls es, the population is asymmetric
9about detuning from resonance. In fact, Fig. 6 clearly shows that the population transfer
occurs at some non-zero detuning values at higher Rabi frequ encies when it does not have
any excitation at resonance and behaves as a dark pulse. This result can be understood
by examining the evolution of the dressed states [17]- [19] w ith time (Fig. 7). When the
effect of the pulse cannot be felt by the system at very early or and at very late times
with respect to the presence of the pulse, each dressed state essentially corresponds to the
single bare state ( |α/angbracketright → | 1/angbracketrightand|β/angbracketright → | 2/angbracketright). It is only during the pulse that the dressed
states change in composition and evolve as a linear combinat ion of the two bare states.
The proximity of these dressed states during the pulse essen tially determines the population
exchange. The higher Rabi frequencies cause a stark shift in the dressed states so that at
resonance there is no population exchange. Under such stark shifted condition, resonance
occurs at some specific non-zero detuning value where Rabi os cillations are seen in Fig. 6.
These results are completely general for a simple case of a tw o-level system, where only
an Nthphoton transition is possible. The phase change of the overl apping Gaussian pulses
essentially provide an additional parameter to control the population evolution of a simple
two-level type of system that supports only an Nthphoton transition.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we have explored the effects of ultrafast shape d pulses for two-level systems
that do not have a single photon resonance by developing a mul tiphoton density-matrix
approach. We took advantage of the fact that dynamics of the i ntermediate virtual states
are absent in the femtosecond timescales, and demonstrated that many multiphoton results
can be surprising similar to the well-known single photon re sults. When we extend the
ARP to the multiphoton condition, robust population invers ion and dark pulses become
possible that are insensitive to the exact profile of the appl ied electric field. We have shown,
therefore, that it is possible to extend the single photon co herent control ideas to develop
femtosecond multiphoton coherent control.

ABSTRACT
In the framework of the Wave Universe concept it is shown, that the genesis of redshifts can be
connected with the intra-system (endogenous) processes, which take place in astronomical
systems. The existance of extremal redshift objects (quasars - QSO) with most probable
z = 3.513 (3.847); 4.677; 6.947 (7.4); 10.524; 14.7; 27.79;
is predicted.
THE WAVE (MEGAWAVE) ASTRODYNAMICS CONCEPT
A wide set of yet noninterpreted (enigmatic from the point of view of standard paradigma of
celestial mechanics and astrophysics [1,2]) observed and experimental data, connected with the
dynamical structure and geometry of the Solar system (in particular, with the arragement of
planetary, satellite orbits, distribution its velocities, etc.) and other astronomical systems can be
adequately interprated in the framework of Wave (Megawave) Astrodynamics (and Wave Universe
concept) [2-6].
Accordingly to these representations, real objects observed in the Universe (in the megaworld,
such as astronomical systems, for example, the Solar system) appear principally wave dynamic
systems (WDS), in the some sence similar to the atom system (Micro - Mega analogy [2]), and can
be described by Fundamental wave equations (in particular, Schrodinger-type equation) (Fig.1).
The unique dimensional parameter /GFF/G0F/G03 /G5A/G4B/G4C/G46/G4B/G03 /G48/G51/G57/G48/G55/G56/G03 /G4C/G51/G57/G52/G03 /G56/G58/G46/G4B/G03 /G44/G03 /G5A/G44/G59/G48/G03 /G48/G54/G58/G44/G57/G4C/G52/G51/G0F/G03 /G4B/G44/G56/G03 /G57/G4B/G48/G03
dimension of sectorial velocity (circulation) [cm2/s] and corresponds to characteristic scale of
system (Co-dimensional principle [2]).
For the atom it has the order
/GFF/G03/G20/G03/GFFe = /GAB /G12/G50e = 1.15767 cm2·s-1
( /GAB /G03 /G20/G03 1.054572⋅10-27 g⋅ cm2·s-1 - Planck's constant, me = 9.109389⋅10-27 g – mass of electron), for
the Solar system (SS)
/GFF/G03/G20/G03/GFFSS ≈ 1019 cm2·s-1.
EXTREMELY LOW MASS
From the comparison of the circulation parameters, carried out in the end o f 70s in the
monograph [2, p.245], naturally follows an evident, lying at surface, consequence.
Representing the Solar system constant
/GFF/G03/G20/G03/GFFSS = /GABSS/mSS
/G4F/G4C/G4E/G48/G03/G44/G56/G03/G49/G52/G55/G03/G44/G57/G52/G50/G03/G0B/GFF/G20/GFF e= /GAB /G12/G50e), it is easy, for example, in the case /GABSS= /GAB /G0F/G03/G57/G52/G03/G52/G45/G57/G44/G4C/G51/G03/G57/G4B/G48/G03/G55/G48/G53/G55/G48/G56/G48/G51/G57 ation
/GFF/G03/G20/G03/GFFSS = /GABSS/mSS
and the order of mass
mSS = /GAB /G12/GFFSS ≈ 1.054572⋅10-27/1019 ≈ 10-46 g.
The physical sence of appearance of such an extremally low mass merits the special
discussion. Meanwhile just note that this valuation is close to the upper limit of the experimental
valuation of the photon mass [7]:
mγ< 9⋅10-10eV/c2 = 1.604⋅10-42 g (Ryan, 1985),
4.73⋅10-12 ev/c2 = 0.8432·10-44 g (Chernikov, 1992),
1.0⋅10-14 ev/c2=1.782·10-47 g (Williams, 1971), etc.
SPECTRUM OF ELITE VELOCITIES
The Fundamental wave equation, described the Solar system (similarly to the atom system),
separates the spectrum of physically distinguished, stationary - elite - orbits, corresponding to
mean quantum numbers N, including the spectrum of permissible elite velocities vN.
The following representation holds for the physically distinguished – elite – velocities vN in the G[s] Shells of wave dynamical (in particular, astronomical) systems [3-6]:
vN = vN[s] = (2π)1/2⋅C∗[s]/N, C∗[s = C∗[1]⋅χ-(s-1), s = 0, ±1, ±2, …
(χ - Fundamental parameter of Hierarchy (Chechelnitsky Number) χ=3.66(6),
C∗[1] – Sound velocity of cosmic plasma in G[1] Shell [Chechelnitsky, [2-6], 1980-1992]),
where elite values N (as it follows from observations) are close, in the general case, to the counting
set of N - Integer (semi - integer).
The most stable - dominant (strong elite) – orbits and the related dominant velocities
correspond to the dominant values of quantum numbers, close to
N = NDom = 8; 11; 13; (15.5) 16; 19.5; (21.5) 22.5.
It can be shown, that
NTR = χ(2π)1/2 ≅ 9.191
also is the physically distinguished (dominant) value N [6].
INVARIANCE (UNIVERSALITY) OF THE ELITE VELOCITIES SPECTRUM
The spectrum of physically distinguished elite velocities vN and quantum numbers N of arbitrary
wave dynamic systems (WDS) has some universal peculiarity. It is practically identical - invariant
(universal) for all known observed systems of the Universe.
In particular, the velocity spectra of experimentally well investigated Solar and satellite
systems practically coincide for the observed planetary and satellite - dominant - orbits,
corresponding to some (dominant) values of quantum numbers NDom. Thus it can be expected that
the spectrum of elite (dominant - planetary) velocities of the Solar system (well identificated by
observations) can be effectively used as quite representative - internal (endogenou s) - spectrum of
elite (dominant) velocities, for example, of far astronomical systems of the Universe.
PHYSICALLY DISTINGUISHED REDSHIFTS
In the framework of the developed representations of Wave (Megawave) Astrodynamics and
Wave Universe concept [2-6] the analytical representation can be ob tained for physically
distinguished - preferably observed (elite) - redshifts of far astronomical objects (galaxies,
quasars).
The physically justified by experience (and correct consequences) relation z = f(v) between the
velocity ν and the redshift z has the form
z=β2 =(v/c) 2, β=v/c,
where c=299792.458 km⋅s-1 - light velocity.
This correlation between the redshift z and the (orbital) velocity v (as opposed to other relations)
is carefully examined experimentally in laboratory conditions - on the Earth (Paund and Rebka’s
experiment) and in Space - from the Sun (Brault’s experiment) [8].
It is also interesting to note that the used square dependen ce in the functional (mathematical)
plane is in fact identical to the relation used in the calculation of the so-called gravity redshift [8]
z=GM/c2r=(v/c) 2,
where v2=GM/r, v - orbital velocity.
THE PEAKS z IN OBSERVATIONS AND IN THEORY
It may be shown that the most important peaks in histograms (of distribution) of the observed z
unaccidentally and with sufficient reliability coincide with the physically distinguished-dominant -
values zN[s] (at N=NDom).
For example, the peaks widely known from observations peaks (Figs. 2, 3) from [9-10]
z≈2, z≈1, z≈0.5, z≈0.35 (and other)
coincide with the dominant (N=NDom) zN[-6] values of G[-6] Shell
zN[-6] = z∗[-6]⋅⋅2π/N2, z∗[-6] = (C∗[-6]/c)2=[(C∗[1] /c)⋅χ7]2 ,
zN[-6] = 2.067; 1.093; 0.782; (0.55)0.516; 0.347; (0.286)0.261
and also (for NTR = 9.191) zTR[-6] =1.57.
ENDOGENOUS NATURE OF z
The set of large quantity of facts, agreement between of theory and observations, including the
possibility of correct description of distinguishing peaks z over all the observed redshifts range
(beginning from z=0) makes the next conclusion natural.
Assertion. It seems very probable that the true genesis and physical nature of the observed
redshifts is considerably closer connected with the own (inner) wave shell structure of astronomical systems (galaxies, quasars), than with the "kinematic" motion (translation) of their mass center -
with the galaxies "expansion".
ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF OBJECTS WITH EXTREMAL z
In the framework of the Wave Universe representations it must be expected that replenishing
statistics of newly discovered astronomical objects will be characterized by the distribution peaks at
z that correspond to the physically distinguished - dominant - values of redshifts, in particular,
belonging to the G[-7] Shell:
zN[-7] = z∗[-7]⋅⋅2π/N2, z∗[-7] = (C∗[-7]/c)2 = [(C∗[1]/c)⋅χ8]2 = 283.08668,
zN[-7] = 27.79; 14.7; 10.524; (7.4)6.947; 4.677; (3.847)3.513.
Already at the present it is interesting to note apparently, unaccidental compliance of the
observed values z of (remotest for 1986) quasars z=3.53 (quasar OQ 172) and z=3.78 (quasar
PKS 2000-330) with the pointed above z[-7] dominant values of the G[-7] Shell (z=3,513 and
z=3.847).
Thus, it is not excluded, that the quasars OQ 172 and PKS 2000 - 330 will become not as
much the last from discovered quasars of preceding population QSO (G[-6]) with active G[-6] Shell
as the first (and evidently having not the highest values of z) from discovered quasars of new
population QSO (G[-7]) with active G[-7] Shell .
THE PROBLEM OF SEARCH
Basing on the above - discussed prognosis, we may also point to a set of supplementary
physical orientating circumstances, that essentially shorten the search field for the objects with
extermal z. One of them resides in the fact that the search must be carried out, in particular,
among the astronomical objects having abundant radiation (peculiarities, peaks, radiation
anomalies), besides gamma, in close infrared range, too. Really, for example, for hydrogen Lα -
line
λ(Lα) = 1215.67 /GD6 /G03/G20/G03/G14/G15/G14/G11/G18/G19/G1A/G03/G51/G50/G03/G20/G03/G13/G11/G14/G15/G14/G18/G19/G1A/G03 µm
we have the system of shifted (by the redshift z=z[-7]) wave lenghts
λN[-7] = λ(Lα)(1+zN[-7]) = 3.50; 1.90; 1.40; (1.02) 0.966; 0.69; (0.589) 0.548 µm
that lay in IR-range.
Purposeful search of objects (most probably having z that are close to the pointed above), in
particular, among objects as Seyfert galaxies, Markarjan galaxies, may lead to discovery of new
astronomical systems, which are characterized by extremal, so far unknown values of redshifts.
FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS
Three years after the exposition of preceding results in 1986 [11-12] followed by a discussion
between a confined circle of researchers - astrophysicists, in the end of 1989, american scientists
from the Palomar Observatory M. Schmidt, J. Gunn, D. Schnaider discovered the extremely far
object of the Universe - quasar in the Ursa Major constellation. It is interesting to note also that
using of the experimental "solar" value N=19.43 (instead of N=19.5) indicates the more close (to
discovered) value z=4.71 (instead of z=4 .677).

not monopolic privelege of only Solar system.
Let us point the brief resume of research (prognosis), connected with problem of redshift
quantization of far objects of Universe – quasars (QSO) [Chechelnitsky, (1986) 1977]:

redshifts can be connected with the intra-system (endogenou s) processes which take place in
astronomical systems. The existence of extremal redshift objects (quasars – QSO) with most
probable z=3.513 (3.847); 4.677; 6.947 (7.4); 10.524; 14.7; 27.79; … is predicted.”
Prognosis already had justified successively for extremal values of z redshifts
ztheory = 3.513, zobs = 3.53 (quasar OQ172)
ztheory = (3.847), zobs = 3.78 (quasar PKS2000-330)
ztheory = 4.677, zobs = 4.71 (Schmidt, Gunn, Schnaider, 1989)
zobs = 4.694 (4.672) (quasar BR1202-0725, Wampler et al., 1996)
At the present time, apparently, also the object Q2203+29 G73 with record value z of redshift
z=6.97 is discovered in special Astrophysical Observatory (SAO, Russia) ztheory = 6.947, zobs = 6.97
(Q2203+29 G73, Dodonov et al., 2000).
The Quene – for objects with even more high redshifts z = 10.524; 14.7; …
Consequences of such successfully realizable prognosis, imperatives of observations not only
are unexpected for the Standard cosmology, but also, probably, its can stimulated the radical
reconsideration of many habitual representations, having become as freezen dogmas.

Results of experimental investigation of plasma luminous
emittance (integrated with respect to time and quartz trans -
mission band spectrum) of a pulsed plasma generator depend-
ing on its axis spatial position, are presented. It is shown
that the spatial distribution of plasma radiant intensity i s
of clearly anisotropic character, that is, there exists a co ne of
the plasma generator axial directions in which the radiatio n of
plasma reaches its peak. A possible explanation of the resul ts
obtained is given based on a hypothesis of global anisotropy
of space caused by the existence of a cosmological vectorial
potential Ag. It is shown that the vector Aghas the follow-
ing coordinates in the second equatorial coordinate system :
right ascension α= 293◦±10◦, declination δ= 36◦±10◦.
The experimental results are in accordance with those of the
earlier experiments on determining the direction of Ag.

I. INTRODUCTION.
In Refs. [1–12], a new assumed interaction of objects
in nature distinct from the four known ones (the strong,
weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational interactions) i s
predicted and investigated. The new force is caused
by the existence of the cosmological vectorial potential
Ag, a new fundamental vectorial constant entering into
the definition of discrete objects, byuons. According to
the hypothesis advanced in Refs. [1–4], in the process of
minimization of potential energy of interaction between
byuons in the one-dimensional space formed by them,
the observable physical space as well as the world of ele-
mentary particles together with their properties appear.
The masses of particles in the model proposed are pro-
portional to the modulus of the summary potential AΣ
which contains Agand vectorial potentials of various
magnetic sources as of natural origin (from the Earth,
the Sun, etc.) so of artificial origin (for example, the
vectorial potential Aof magnetic fields from solenoids,
plasma generators, etc.). The value |AΣ|is always lesser
than|Ag| ≈1,95×1011Gs·cm[1–7]. The vectors AΣ
andAgare practically always collinear because of the
∗baurov@www.comgreat value of the latter. In the model of Refs. [1–4],
the process of formation of the physical space and charge
numbers of elementary particles is investigated. There-
fore, in contrast with calibration theories (for example,
the classical and quantum field theories), the values of po-
tentials acquire the physical sense, which is in tune with
the known and experimentally tested Aharonoff-Bohm
effect [13–16] as a particular case of quantum properties
of space described in Refs. [1–4].
The on-earth experiments (with high-current magnets
[1,2,5–7], with a gravimeter and an attached magnet
[1,2,8]), investigations of changes in β-decay rate of ra-
dioactive elements under the action of the new force [9],
and astrophysical observations [10,11] have given the fol-
lowing approximate coordinates (in the second equatorial
system) for the direction of the vector Ag: right ascen-
sionα≈270◦, declination β≈34◦.
In the aggregate, the experiments carried out [1,2,4–12]
have shown that if the vectorial potential of some current
system is opposite in direction to the vector AΣthen the
new force repels any substance out of the region of weak-
ened|AΣ|mainly in the direction of Ag. The magnitude
of the new force Fin the experiments with high-current
magnets (magnetic flux Bbeing up to 15 T) was equal to
∼0,01−0,08gfor the test body mass ∼30g. When in-
vestigating the new interaction with the aid of a station-
ary linear arc plasma generator (with ∼60kW, current
∼300A, voltage 220 V, mass flow rate V≈120ms−1) po-
sitioned on a special rotatable base, there were detected
two special directions corresponding to energy release in
the plasma jet up to 40% more than the average energy
in the plasma flow during rotation of the plasma gener-
ator in the horizontal plane through nearly 360◦, with
the summary experimental error of ±12%. These direc-
tions laid left and right from the vector Agat an angle of
∼45◦−50◦with the latter, they corresponded with the
most efficient angle between the vector Aof the current
system and the vector Ag(i.e. with the maximum mag-
nitude of the new force) being equal to 135◦÷140◦[12].
The found directions of maximum action of the new force
in the experiments with the plasma generator gave the
following Ag- coordinates: α≈(280−297)◦,δ≈30◦.
The aim of the present work is further experimental
investigation of the global space anisotropy associated
withAg.
1II. FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM.
The new force predicted in the Refs. [1–12] is of com-
plex nonlinear and nonlocal character and can be rep-
resented in the form of some series in ∆ A, a difference
between changes in AΣat the location points of a sensor
and test body. For the first approximation of that series
we have
F∼N∆A∂∆A
∂x
where xis the spatial coordinate, and Nis the number of
stable elementary particles (electrons, protons, neutron s)
in a space region with AΣvarying due to the vectorial
potential of some current system. It was shown in the
experiments [1,2] with rotating magnetic discs and an
engine-generator as well as in the experiments with the
plasma generator [12] that the force Fcan be substan-
tially increased (tens and more times) when phasing the
motion of the body with the process of physical space for-
mation from byuons (i.e. the working body must change
AΣby its own potential Aand move in the direction of
Ag. Therewith the particles of the body must rotate in
phase with the above-mentioned process of formation of
the physical space). In such a case energy will be taken
from the physical space through the elementary parti-
cles of the working body. The law of energy conservation
in the system ”working body - physical space” will be
valid. As is known [17], the basic energy of the Universe
(>90%) is determined by the ”dark” (virtual) matter.
The model of formation of the physical space [1–4] de-
scribes the phenomenon of the ”dark matter” reasonably
well.
Based upon the physics of the new assumed force and
mechanisms of strengthening it to realize the aims of the
present paper, the experimental installation should met
the following requirements. First, it should realize a max-
imum ∆ Acorresponding to maximum possible values of
current. Second, to realize a maximum∂∆A
∂x, the current
density should be as high as possible. Third, if a plasma
generator is chosen for investigation of the new force, its
discharge should be maintained in a medium with the
most great value of N(for example, not in vacuum but
in air at the atmospheric pressure or in water). Fourth, to
realize the mechanism of strengthening the new force (i.e.
phasing the motion of the working body with the process
of space formation at the rate on the order of the light
speed), the magnitude of the velocity Vin the discharge
should be the maximum possible. Fifth, the experimen-
tal installation on the base of a plasma generator chosen
for investigating the global space anisotropy by way of
scanning the celestial sphere should introduce into the ex-
periment minimum systematic errors connected with the
rotation of the plasma generator in space (for example,
with an influence of curvature of hoses delivering water,
air, and argon to a stationary plasma generator, on heat
release in its jet as in Ref. [12], or with action of the Cori-
olis force on the flow of water in a measuring tube [12],etc.). All these requirements are most closely met by the
pulsed plasma generator (magnetoplasma compressor).
III. EXPERIMENTAL INSTALLATION AND
TECHNIQUE.
The experimental installation was comprised of a
pulsed plasma generator and a system of measuring the
plasma radiation. The plasma generator was fed from an
energy-storage capacitor 100 mFin total capacity with
operating voltage up to 5 kV. The total energy accu-
mulated in the capacitor was equal to ∼1,25kJ. The
battery was charged from a standard high-voltage power
source GOR-100 and commutated to the load (pulsed
plasma generator) with the aid of a trigatron type air
spark gape activated by a short ( ∼1ns) high-voltage
(∼30kV) pulse coming to the air-gap from a trigger cir-
cuit.
The design of the pulsed plasma generator (1) is shown
in Fig.1. The case (2) of the generator (its outer electrode
being anode) was made of thin-walled copper tube 11
mm in external diameter and 100 mmin length. The ax-
ial electrode (3) (cathode) 4 mmin diameter made from
copper bar was placed into an acrylic plastic tube (4)
with inner diameter of 4 mmand outside diameter equal
to that of the outer electrode. In the Fig.1 shown is also
a statistic average pattern (5) of discharge currents of
the plasma generator. The angle φwas equal to ∼30◦.
The whole construction as a unit was an analogue of the
coaxial plasma accelerator. The plasma generator was
locked on a textolite plate (6) positioned on a special
adjustment table (8) rotatable around its vertical axis
(7). The table (8) was provided with a limb (9) allow-
ing to control the angle of rotation of the whole system
relative to some starting position. The plate (6) itself
could rotate around the horizontal axis (10) through an
arbitrary angle β. The system as an assembly made it
possible to rotate the plasma generator during the ex-
periment around the vertical axis (7) through any angle,
and around the horizontal axis through any angle in the
range −90◦< β < 60◦. It was assumed that at β <0
the discharge of the plasma generator turns to the sur-
face of the Earth. The horizontal position of the plasma
generator corresponded to the angle β= 0. The tra-
jectory of motion of the face of plasma generator during
its rotation in the horizontal plane represented a circle.
All experiments were carried out in air at atmospheric
pressure.
The volt-ampere characteristics measured with the aid
of Rogovsky belt and an induction-free voltage divider as-
sembled from resistors of TVO-type, made it possible to
judge the amount of energy put into the discharge chan-
nel. Some typical volt-ampere characteristics are shown
in Fig.2. One can see from the Figure that the discharge
was of quasi-periodic character but with great damping.
The quasi-period of the discharge current in conditions
2of the experiment was equal to ∼70ms. The amplitude
of the current in the first maximum reached 21 kA. The
maximum voltage between the electrodes equaled 3 .5kV
at 5kVcharging voltage on the energy-storage capacitor.
The dynamics of plasma outflow (11 in Fig.1) as well as
the characteristic dimensions of plasma jet were investi-
gated with the aid of a super-high-speed photorecorder
ofSFR-type operating in single-frame filming mode. A
fragment of the record is given in Fig.3. The earlier stud-
ies of the plasma generator in use have shown that about
(30−40)% of its power were released in the optical fre-
quency range [18]. The absolute value of radiation energy
in quartz transmission band ( λ >220nm) was measured
by a thermal detector of LETI -type (12 in Fig.1) rigidly
fixed on the plate (6 in Fig.1) so that the relative posi-
tions of the plasma generator and thermal detector could
not change as the plasma generator rotated. In so doing,
the axis of the thermodetector was directed to the prior
known range of maximum discharge glow lying on the
axis of the plasma generator ∼2cmfrom its face.
The thermodetector was calibrated with the use of
a standard radiation source of IFP-1200 type giving
Est= 35.64J/srof radiant energy per unit of solid angle.
In the process of calibrating and measuring, the signal
from the thermodetector came to the input of a mirror-
galvanometer oscillograph K117 . The radiant energy of
plasma was calculated from the formula
E= 4πAl2n,
where Ais the calibration coefficient, lis the distance
from the radiation source (in meters), nis the maximum
magnitude of signal on the strip of oscillograph (in mil-
limeters). At the characteristic dimensions of plasma cu-
mulation zone of the order of 1 cmand the distance from
the thermodetector to the plasma source l= 20cm,the
radiation source could be taken as a point one. Because
the radiative energy of plasma is proportional to T4, an
insignificant change in temperature Tcould be sensed by
the thermodetector. Despite a significant increase in dis-
charge current and voltage of the plasma generator con-
sidered in comparison with those in the experiment of
Ref. [12], the thermal effect of the new force action was
expected at a level of 10% owing to short duration of the
discharge. The main parameter measured in the experi-
ment was the deflection of the beam of the mirror- gal-
vanometer oscillograph K117 . This deflection, propor-
tional to the radiative intersity of plasma, was recorded
on the photographic strip and gave information on the
amount of energy released in the discharge of the plasma
generator and, while scanning the celestial sphere, on the
direction of maximum action of the new force upon the
particles of the plasma discharge.
To investigate the direction of the global anisotropy
of physical space caused by the vector Ag, as well as
the new interaction connected with this vector, the fol-
lowing technique was used. In the first of experiments
(15.12.1999-3.05.2000), the plasma generator was rotated
only around the vertical axis (7 in Fig.1).The start time of the experiment was determined by
the position of the vector Agnear the horizontal plane.
On the basis of previous experiments [1,2,4–12], the vec-
torAgwas assumed to have the following approximate
coordinates: 270◦< α < 300◦,20◦< δ < 40◦. The
statistic average pattern of discharge currents shown in
Fig.1 was assumed to correspond to direction of the max-
imum current along the axis of the plasma generator.
Therefore one could expect that the direction of axis of
the plasma generator allowed to judge the efficient an-
gle of action of the new force, i.e. the efficient angle
between the main discharge current and the vector Ag.
Recall that the new force acts when the vector of the dis-
charge current has a component directed oppositely to
Ag, and the vector of velocity Vof the particles points
inAgdirection. In the experiments of 15.12.1999 and
20.01.2000, the luminous emittance of plasma jet was
measured by the thermodetector LETI in 30 degree in-
tervals through one complete revolution of the adjust-
ment table. In all other experiments the measurements
of the luminous emittance were made in 10 degree inter-
vals. In the second sequence of experiments, to improve
the direction of the new force in space, the celestial sphere
was scanned in the vicinity of the extremum directions
found in the previous experiments during rotation of the
plasma generator in the horizontal plane.
IV. RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS AND
DISCUSSION.
From 15.12.1999 till 3.05.2000, 32 experiments with ro-
tation of the plasma generator around the vertical axis
through 360◦were carried out. The duration of one ex-
periment (25 or 30 shots) was no more than 30-25 min.
As an illustration, in Fig.4 shown are the values of de-
flection Lof the beam of the mirror-galvanometer oscillo-
graph (in millimeters) in dependence on the angle of ro-
tation θin the experiments of 15.12.1999 and 20.01.2000.
In the experiment of 15.12.1999 conducted from 1640
till 1715, a burst in luminous emittance of plasma gen-
erator discharge was observed at 1655. Therewith the
angle θmeasured from an arbitrary direction H shown in
Fig.5 was equal to 165◦, and the value of emittance was
25.7% above its average over the duration of the exper-
iment with a root-mean-square error of ±3.7%. In the
experiment of 20.01.2000 performed from 1535till 1610,
the burst of plasma luminous emittance was detected at
θ= 135◦(measured from that same direction H in Fig.5)
with 24% excess over the average value of emittance at a
root-mean-square error of ±3.3%.
For qualitative understanding of the result obtained
and the processing procedure, in Fig.5 are shown by ar-
rows some projections of the plasma generator axis on
the ecliptic plane corresponding to maximum luminous
emittances of plasma discharge with indication of con-
crete positions of the Earth in the process of its orbiting
3around the Sun, the data of the experiments, and the
points in time at which the said maximum (with val-
ues greater than the experimental error) were observed.
The dotted line denotes secondary extremum directions
for the emittance. In all experiments the plasma gen-
erator rotated counter-clockwise if the plane of rotation
seen from above. The direction of the axis of the plasma
generator at θ= 0 is indicated by letter H for each ex-
periment.
At the center of Fig.5 (at the site of the Sun) a cir-
cle diagram summarizing the results all experiments, is
given. They were processed in the following manner. The
circle was divided in ten-degree sectors so that the radius-
vector passing from the center of the circle along the ini-
tial boundary of the first sector was aimed at the point
of vernal equinox (21.03) from which the angular coordi-
nateαis counted anticlockwise in the second equatorial
system.
In Fig.5 the heights of crosshatched triangles with a
20◦-angle at the center of the circle are proportional
to the sums (in percentage) of extremum deflections of
the oscillograph beam from its average coordinate which
stand out above the standard error of measurements and
fall within one or the other of the triangles, for all bursts
in luminous emittance observed in all 32 experiments.
As is seen from Fig.5, the maximum emittances were ob-
served (more often and with maximum amplitudes) in
the 25th,26thand 33th,34thsectors.
Notice that when the vectorial potential of the plasma
generator is directed exactly opposite to Ag, the change
inAΣshould be maximum and, hence, the magnitude
of the new force should be zero since∂∆A
∂x= 0. It fol-
lows herefrom that the direction of the vector Agmust
be related with the sectors 29,30 (Fig.5). This direction
has the coordinates: α= 290◦±10◦, and an efficient
angle between the axial current of the plasma generator
and the vector Agbeing equal to 140◦±10◦. The result
obtained fully coincides (with an error above indicated)
with that of Ref. [12] in which a stationary plasma gener-
ator positioned on a special rotatable base and a copper
measuring tube with water passed through as a sensing
element located in the plasma jet, were used. The results
of the present paper do not contradict those of earlier
measurements of vector Ag[1,2,4–9] and are much more
precise. It should be noted that a considerable number
of bursts fall into the sectors 11 and 12, corresponding
to the direction precisely opposite to that of Ag. This
may be attributed to the action of side currents in the
discharge of the plasma generator (see Fig.1) directed at
an angle φ≈30◦to its axis. That is, in this case the side
currents make an angle of ∼150◦withAgwhich is near
to the most efficient angle of ∼140◦found from the di-
rection of the main axial current of the plasma generator.
Therewith the vector of mass velocity Vof the discharge
particles is in opposition to Ag. Hence, the mechanism
of strengthening the new force is here ineffective as com-
pared with the situations in which the axis of the plasma
generator fall into the sectors 25,26 and 33,34 where thevectors VandAgare directed to the same side.
From 10.05.2000 till 31.05.2000 and from 11.10.2000
till 3.11.2000, a run of experiments was carried out with
scanning the celestial sphere in the vicinity of sectors
from 25thtill 34thfor determining most efficient angles
of special position of the plasma generator axis relative
to the vector Ag, i.e. the angles of maximum action of
the new force.
As an illustration, in Table 1 the results of the last
experiment performed 3.11.2000 are presented. In all,
77 shots were made with the average duration of scan-
ning the celestial sphere about 90min. The angle γin
Table 1 corresponds to rotation of the plasma generator
around the vertical axis, and the angle βdoes to its ro-
tation around the horizontal axis. In each square of the
Table, the magnitude of deflection of the beam of the
mirror-galvanometer oscillograph proportional to the lu-
minous emittance of the plasma discharge, is shown. In
its turn, this emittance is proportional to the value of the
new force acting on electrons and other particles of the
discharge.
As the duration of the experiment was more than 1.5
hours (the rotation of the Earth through approximately
23◦), the average deflections ( Lav) of the oscillograph
beam were calculated for one passage of the plasma gen-
erator through the angle γat the angle βfixed. The
value Lavand root-mean-square deflections σ(in per-
centage) are shown in Table 1 for each passage of the
plasma generator. The start time of the experiment was
chosen from an expected time of fall of Aginto the range
of horizontal plane. In the experiment considered, the
angles γ= 220◦andβ=−20◦correspond to a coinci-
dence of the north-direction at the place of the installa-
tion (Moscow Lomonosov University) with the direction
of theAg- projection on the horizontal plane.
A summary result of vernal and autumnal experiments
with scanning the celestial sphere is shown in Fig.6. In
this Figure given are the relative spatial coordinates and
directions (arrows) of only those positions of the axis
of the plasma generator at which the deflection of the
oscillograph beam in the process of discharge was above
the root-mean-square one. In Table 1 they are asterisked
for the experiment of 3.11.2000. The results of the vernal
ran of experiments are related to 11.25 of Moscow time of
31.05.2000 and noted by circles in Fig.6. The autumnal
results (also asterisked) are related to 20.00 of Moscow
time of 11.10.2000.
When scanning the celestial sphere, the plasma gen-
erator was positioned during the experiment (at various
angles β) on circles of different radii but with a deflec-
tion from the level of some horizontal plane no more than
±12,5% in the range of angles −20◦< β < 40◦. There-
fore, for clearness, all positions of the plasma generator
are given in projection onto the horizontal plane as for
vernal so for autumnal runs of experiments with indica-
tion of angles of the slope of the generator axis to this
plane (angle β). This is understandable since the sections
of cone by the plane are well known.
4The ranges of an γ-angles 170◦−190◦and 250◦−270◦
in Fig.6 correspond in space to the sectors 34,33 and
26,25 in Fig.5, respectively. The horizontal planes for
these data and the indicated related times of experiments
(31.05.2000, 11.25 and 11.10.2000, 20.00) intersect at an
angle of ∼35◦.
As is seen from Fig.6, with the exception of one and
only point ( γ= 25◦, β=−40◦), all other positions of
the axis of the plasma generator in the vernal run of
experiments form a section of a cone of directions. The
dispersion of points in the autumnal run of experiments is
more great but all experimental points except two ( γ=
220◦, β= +10◦;γ= 225◦, β= +10◦) fit into the cone
shown in Fig.6 with a dispersion of coordinates of axial
directions equal to ±10◦.
With that same error, the axial direction of the cone
makes it possible to find the direction of the vector Ag
(since along this direction∂∆A
∂x= 0) from the vectorial
potential of the axial current of the plasma generator and,
hence, the new force should be zeroth, too, i.e. bursts
should be absent along Ag. This direction is also shown
in Fig.6. It has the coordinates α≈293◦±10◦and
δ≈36◦±10◦in the second equatorial system. The di-
rection indicated qualitatively coincides with the result s
of earlier experiments [1,2,4–9] and specifically with the
recent experiments carried out on the basis of stationary
plasma generator [12] as well as with astrophysical ob-
servation of anisotropy of distribution of solar flares and
galactic pulsars [1,2,10,11].
V. ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTAL ERRORS.
The errors in determining the direction of Agcan be
classified as systematic ( σsyst) and random, or statistic
(σst) ones. In the experiment in consideration, the sys-
tematic errors can be due to the following causes: ini-
tial bursts at the beginning of experiment with rotation
of the plasma generator associated with deficient prior
”warming up” the system (i.e. without a previous ”rang-
ing fire” before the readings of the oscillograph flatten
out); a build up of the cathode of the plasma generator
in the course of the experiment giving rise to a change in
geometry of discharge currents (see Fig.1); burn-out of
an isolator also changing the pattern of currents in the
discharge; a glass turbidity of the thermodetector LETI;
a withdrawal of its axis from the direction of the maxi-
mum luminous emittance of the discharge; reflection of
light from objects surrounding the experimental installa-
tion; a limited resource of the capacitor.
The statistic error σstis caused by the following rea-
sons: the random character of geometric pattern of cur-
rents (see Fig.1), the inaccuracy of setting the angles γ
andβ; exactness of instrumentation (power unit GOR-
100, voltmeter etc.); inaccuracies of thermal detector
and of constructions in Figs.5, 6, non-controllable over-
heat of contacts; accidental changes in exterior condition s(convective flows in the room, lighting fluctuations, elec-
tromagnetic background).
Consider the systematic errors. In the early experi-
ments, the systematic error caused by a prior warm-up
of the plasma generator was included into the final re-
sult. As was further clarified, there were necessary on
the average 7-10 shots before start of the measurements
(rotation of the plasma generator in space) to reach op-
erating conditions with a minimum error. If this error
taken into account, the heights of crosshatched triangles
in sectors 17-20 (Fig.5) can be reduced by 25% making
the result more pronounced (in Fig.5 these errors are not
accounted). The influence of build up of the cathode in
the course of the experiments at the rate of about 1mm
per 30-40 shots on the deflection of the oscillograph beam
is not yet clear. This factor led as to deterioration of
sensitivity of measurements (decrease in average deflec-
tionLavof the beam) so to an increase of sensitivity. In
the vernal and autumnal runs of experiments, the said
error was reduced to a minimum by way of returning
the plasma generator to its initial condition (scraping
bright the cathode and anode before each experiment).
In the course of experiment, the plasma generator was
not touched. The change of Lavdue to build-up of the
cathode did not exceed 2 .5% (σk).
In the long-term run of experiments performed from
15.12.1999 till 3.05.2000, the burn-out of the isolator led
to a decrease of the total sensitivity of the experimental
technique, i.e. to some stable drift at a level of 1 ÷2%
per experiment ( ∼37 shots). This drift was taken into
account and did not tell on the results of each separate
experiment so as on the final results, too, because the
heights of cross-hatched triangles in Fig.5 are given in
percentage.
Before the new run of experiments with scanning the
celestial sphere, the plasma generator was replaced by a
new one with the same parameters. The grows of tur-
bidity of the glass of the thermal detector was resulting
in a drift of the beam deflection of the oscillograph and,
hence, in a deterioration of total sensitivity of the mea-
suring system, but cleaning the glass 1-2 hours before
each experiment weakened this effect down to a level of
2% which practically did not influence on the relative
value of the amplitude of bursts analyzed. Withdrawal
of the axis of the thermal detector from the direction of a
maximum luminous emittance of the discharge could led
only to a drift (or leaps) of Lavno more than 1% ( σm).
The experiments with the plasma generator were car-
ried out in a windowless underground room of the Phys-
ical Department of the Moscow State University. The
convective flows were practically absent, the surround
objects were always at the same places, there were no
electromagnetic noise from exterior sources. In total
∼1800 shots were made in the course of experiments.
The resource of the new capacitor was about 10000 shots,
therefore its instability could not tell on the experimen-
tal results. The summary systematic error ( σsyst) due to
incontrollable processes during the experiment is repre-
5sentable in the form
σsyst=/radicalBig
σ2
k+σ2m=±2,7%
since those processes were independent from each other.
The statistic error caused by the random character of
geometrical pattern of discharge currents (see Fig.1) en-
tered into the summary error of experiment and was not
determined separately. For the experiments carried out
from 15.12.1999 till 3.05.2000 (with rotating the plasma
generator in the horizontal plane), the summary error
comprising the systematic and random ones is shown in
Table 2.
The accuracy of setting angles γandβin the course
of experiments was no lesser than 0 ,5◦(σo<0,5%).
The precision of the power GOR-100 and the voltmeter
equaled 0 ,5% (σp), that of the mirror-galvanometer oscil-
lograph ∼2% (σo). The error of calibration of the ther-
mal detector was no more than 2% ( σc) (according to
preliminary measurements). The accuracy of construc-
tion was ∼1◦. An incontrollable overheat of contacts
was impossible in the experiments considered. Random
changes in luminous emittance of surround objects were
absent. According to the data presented, the total statis-
tic error ( σst) was no more than ∼2,8%. The total
computation error in the experiments was ∼3,9%. As
is seen, it laid near to the root-mean-square errors in-
dicated in Tables 1,2 which enhanced the validity of the
results obtained. As can be seen from the tables, in many
experiments the amplitude of deflection of the beam ex-
ceeded the root-mean-square error more than two times,
this also strengthens the plausibility of results.
VI. CONCLUSION.
Thus it is shown in the present work that the spatial
distribution of the intensity of plasma radiation of pulsed
plasma generator is clearly anisotropic. A cone of direc-
tions is observed in which plasma radiation reaches its
maximum. The results of the experiments can be satis-
factorily explained basing on a hypothesis about the ex-
istence of cosmological vectorial potential, a new funda-
mental vectorial constant determining a new anisotropic
interaction of objects in nature.

1The manipulation of massive ro-vibronic superpositions using
time-frequency-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering(TFRCARS): from quantum control to quantum computing

ABSTRACT
Molecular ro-vibronic coherences, joint energy-time distributions of quantum
amplitudes, are selectively prepared, manipulated, and imaged in Time-Frequency-Resolved Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (TFRCARS)measurements using femtosecond laser pulses. The studies are implemented iniodine vapor, with its thermally occupied statistical ro-vibrational densityserving as initial state. The evolution of the massive ro-vibronic superpositions,consisting of 10
3 eigenstates, is followed through two-dimensional images. The
first- and second-order coherences are captured using time-integrated frequency-resolved CARS, while the third-order coherence is captured using time-gatedfrequency-resolved CARS. The Fourier filtering provided by time integrateddetection projects out single ro-vibronic transitions, while time-gated detectionallows the projection of arbitrary ro-vibronic superpositions from the coherentthird-order polarization. A detailed analysis of the data is provided to highlightthe salient features of this four-wave mixing process. The richly patternedimages of the ro-vibrational coherences can be understood in terms of phaseevolution in rotation-vibration-electronic Hilbert space, using time circuitdiagrams. Beside the control and imaging of chemistry, the controlledmanipulation of massive quantum coherences suggests the possibility ofquantum computing. We argue that the universal logic gates necessary forarbitrary quantum computing – all single qubit operations and the two-qubitcontrolled-NOT (CNOT) gate – are available in time resolved four-wave mixingin a molecule. The molecular rotational manifold is naturally “wired” forcarrying out all single qubit operations efficiently, and in parallel. We identifyvibronic coherences as one example of a naturally available two-qubit CNOTgate, wherein the vibrational qubit controls the switching of the targetedelectronic qubit.

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is a well established and broadly
applied spectroscopic tool,1,2 the subject of textbooks.3,4,5 When carried out with
ultrafast lasers, within a single experiment, CARS combines the elements ofpreparation, manipulation, and interrogation of molecular coherences. These arethe key ingredients of quantum control, be it applied to quantum chemistry,
6,7,8 or
quantum computing.9,10 It is from this perspective that we present our multi-
dimensional time- and frequency-resolved CARS studies on the well-characterized system of diatomic iodine in the gas phase, and at roomtemperature.
Quantum coherences can be defined by their two-dimensional mapping
along relevant conjugate variables, such as time and energy.
1 This is familiar in
practice in the characterization of optical pulses by such means as frequencyresolved optical gating (FROG).
11 An equivalent characterization of molecular
coherences is enabled through joint time-frequency-resolved CARS (TFRCARS)spectroscopy. This, we recently demonstrated through time-gated, frequency-resolved detection of the anti-Stokes polarization (TGFCARS) in iodine vapor atroom temperature.
12 The experiment served to illustrate that the third-order
coherence of the molecule could be imaged directly as an interferogram on thetime-frequency plane, and that ro-vibronic coherences consisting ofsuperpositions of 10
3 states could be rigorously decomposed in such maps.
There, we emphasized that although fs pulses are used, the third-ordercoherence in resonant CARS can be detected with rotational resolution, since itevolves freely until the unset of decoherence. In room temperature vapor iodinero-vibrational decoherence would be determined by pure dephasing due to theDoppler inhomogeneous width of lines (t ~ 10
-9s). With regard to chemical
dynamics, this implies that transients captured in fs time can be analyzed with
high resolution ( ∆ω ~ 0.02 cm-1). Here, we extend the analysis to first- and
second- order coherences, detected through time-integrated frequency-resolved
CARS. As in our prior development, we maintain the intuitive languages ofdiscussing vibrational coherences in terms of wavepackets,
13 while ro-vibrational
coherences14,15 are treated as phase evolution in vector space. As an example, in
such a treatment, the counter-intuitive result that condensed phase CARS signalsshould be more deeply modulated than in the gas phase can be understood interms of the spatial extent of vibrational superpositions.
16 In contrast, the
description of time evolution of rotational superpositions as purely phaseevolution of eigenstates in Hilbert space is more natural and suggestive incomputational applications.
1 In keeping with common practice energy, frequency, wavelength and angular frequency are
interchangeably used in the text. The time-energy space is invariably refereed to as time-frequency while the experimental data are presented on a time-wavelength axis.3The concept that the controlled manipulation of quantum coherences can
be used for quantum computation or information transfer, dates to anannunciation on general grounds by Feynman,
17 followed by the formal
arguments presented by Deutsch.18 This very active field of research was more
recently catapulted forward by the development of algorithms that takeadvantage of quantum parallelism to achieve exponential speed-up in particulartasks. The most notable among these being Shor ’s algorithm for factorization of a
number into its primes,
19 and Grover ’s search algorithm,2 to search an arbitrarily
large data base with a single query.20 The field has since advanced dramatically,
with physical proofs of principle based on the demonstration of universalquantum logic gates, realized through a variety of experimental approaches.Among examples are: all optical interferometry,
21,22 cavity quantum
electrodynamics,23 ion traps,24 superconducting Josephson junctions,25 and an
explosion of studies in NMR following the initial propositions.26,27 More specific
tasks, such as a search algorithm through the preparation and manipulation ofRydberg Superposition states in atomic beams,
28 have also been demonstrated.
The latter belongs to the category that does not require entanglement,29 and
therefore can be argued that does not allow exponential speed-up without theexpenditure of an exponential overhead in resources.
30 Physical realizations that
involve entanglement,31 to-date, have been limited to several qubits (the quantum
analog of a bit),32 with extensions to larger numbers being a nontrivial challenge.
The multidimensional coherent spectroscopy of molecular ro-vibroniccoherences involves the controlled manipulation of massive Quantumsuperpositions; as such, it presents an opportunity for executing quantum logicon a very large manifold of states. After presenting the experimental data andtheir interpretation, we discuss the natural structure of the tensor space in whichthe ro-vibronic polarization is manipulated, and the naturally available “wiring ”
of quantum logic gates for computational tasks. The massiveness of the ro-vibrational superposition that is manipulated, consisting of 10
3 states, and the
precision with which coherences can be transferred between ro-vibronic states,makes the system particularly attractive for computation with massiveparallelism.
Molecular iodine is chosen for these studies because of its spectroscopic
convenience, well characterized spectroscopy, and the fact that it has alreadybeen scrutinized by fs CARS experiment and theory in the gas phase.
33,34,35,36
Although unintended, we discover several unexpected electronic scatteringchannels in iodine. We discuss these for completeness. The multiple electronicresonances that lead to complexity in the data can add significant flexibility inthe tailored manipulation of electronic coherences.
Prior to presenting the experimental results and their analysis, we
establish the frameworks to be used in the interpretation of vibronic and ro-
2 Although provably faster, Grover ’s algorithm gives square root speed-up over classical
algorithms.4vibronic contributions to resonant CARS, along lines already introduced in two
preceding papers.12,16 Coherent Raman scattering (CRS) is a four-wave mixing
process that involves measuring the third-order material polarization in responseto the application of three input beams.
5 The fourth rank hyperpolarizability
tensor that mediates the process allows selectivity by experimental control ontime-orderings and Cartesian components of the applied fields, hence theproliferation of acronyms devised to highlight specialization. In fs CARS, inputpulses of different color are chosen such that the detected coherent materialpolarization occurs to the blue of the input pulses. Single color fs CRS, oftenidentified by its frequency domain acronym of degenerate four-wave mixing(DFWM), has been implemented in small gas phase molecules to explore aspectsof molecular control.
37,38 In condensed media, the same measurements appear
under the heading of three-pulse photon echo.39,40 Both time-gated41 and
frequency-resolved42,43 stimulated photon echo measurements have been
performed, which combined,44 would be equivalent to our TGFCARS
experiments. The more complete four-wave mixing measurements involveheterodyne detection of the radiation, to yield amplitudes and phases of allfields.
45,46, Heterodyne detected three-pulse photon echo measurements have been
extended to the infrared, and have been implemented to the study of peptides.47
Reviews of these inherently multi-dimensional fs spectroscopies of vibronicexcitations have recently appeared.

A) Vibronic Coherences
In time resolved CARS, the third-order polarization, P(3), induced by the
application of three short laser pulses is probed.3-5 As in the more common
implementations, here too, two of the pulses are chosen to have the same color
and are identified as pump, P and P ’; while the third, red-shifted pulse is
identified as Stokes, S. The signal consists of the polarization propagating along
the anti-Stokes wavevector, kAS=kp+kp’−kS. Choosing both pump and Stokes
colors to overlap the dipole allowed X(1Σ0g+) ↔ B(3Π0u+) electronic transition, we
may expect the rotating wave approximation to hold, and the consideration may
be limited to scattering processes that are resonant in all orders. We will initiallyrestrict the consideration to the two-electronic state molecular Hamiltonian,
H=XHXX+B(HB+Te)B (1)
in which HB and HX are the vibrational Hamiltonians in the excited and ground
electronic states, respectively. Within the interaction representation of time
dependent perturbation theory, P(3) is the expectation value of the dipole
operator:505P(3)(t)=ϕX(0)(t)ˆ µ ϕB(3)(t)+ϕX(2)(t)ˆ µ ϕB(1)(t)+c.c. (2)
where

with applied fields described by their envelopes El(t):
El(t)=ˆ ε l[El(t)e−iωlt+El*(t)e+iωlt] where l = P, P ’, S (5)
The possible contributions to (2), which are generated by the permutations of the
P, P’, and S pulses in (5), can be illustrated by the familiar double-sided Feynman
diagrams, as in Figures 1 and 2. The equivalent time-circuit diagrams, whichprove useful in describing the material response in both state representation andin classical
51 or semiclassical propagations,52 are also shown in the figures. As it
will become clearer, the time-circuit diagrams are quite useful in keeping track ofthe material response in state space.
Choosing
ωP to the red of the absorption maximum and ωS outside the
absorption band ( /G61ωp−/G61ωs>kBT), only the first term in Eq. 2 (Fig. 1) can be
electronically resonant in all three pulses. Further, by experimentally choosing
the sequence P, followed by S, followed by P', we may transcribe the diagram inFig. 1 to the explicit third-order perturbation expression:

The content of (6) can be readily visualized in the wavepacket picture of Fig. 3.
For all times, the bra state vector ϕX(0)(t) evolves subject to the bare, ground state
molecular Hamiltonian. The fields act on the ket state. At t1, the pump prepares
a wavepacket in the B state, ϕB(1)(t), in the Franck-Condon window carved out
by the pump laser. In this first order coherence, the packet on the B potential
evolves until t = t2, when the Stokes pulse arrives. The portion of the packet that
overlaps with the Stokes window can now be transferred to prepare the second-
order (or the Raman) packet, ϕX(2)(t). The Raman packet evolves on the X state
until t = t3, when the P ’ pulse acts. Now amplitude proportional to overlap of the6Raman packet with the pump window is transferred to the B-state, to prepare the
third-order packet ϕB(3)(t). In this third-order coherence, the system evolves
freely, radiating every time the vibrational packet reaches the anti-Stokes
window, which is located at the inner turning point of the B-state potentialwhere the energy conservation condition
δ[ωAS−(2ωP−ωS)] can be satisfied.
This resonantly created third-order polarization will persist long after the
termination of pulses, until destroyed by collisions. Recursions in the third-orderpolarization imply structure in the AS spectrum, as already argued anddemonstrated.
12 If we make an analogy with photon echo, the observable
recursions in the third-order polarization would be more appropriately
described as photon reverberations . Note, in first- and third-order the bra and ket
are in separate electronic states, therefore the system is in a ro-vibronic (rotation-vibration-electronic) coherence. In second-order, the Raman packet is in a ro-vibrational coherence in an electronic population on the X-state. Finally, note thatthe complex conjugation indicated in (6) ensures that the third-order polarizationis real, and that a diagram conjugate to each of those illustrated in Figures 1 and2 is operative in the process. The concepts of wavepackets and coherences derivefrom somewhat different starting points; nevertheless, we marry the languagesto take advantage of the intuition contained in each.
B) Ro-vibrational Coherences:
The complete rotation-vibration contribution to P(3) can be given in terms of the
density matrix in Hilbert space:
ρ(t)=
χ’,v’,j’∑
χ,v,j∑
m’=−j’j’
∑
m=−jj
∑c(χ’,χ,v’,v,j’,j,m’,m)χ’,v’,j’,m’;tχ,v,j,m;t (7a)
in which χ, v, j, m designate electronic, vibrational, rotational and magnetic
quantum numbers of eigenstates ( χ,χ‘ = X, B). After three interactions with the
laser field, the expectation value of the dipole over the third-order polarization
Tr[ˆ µ ρ(3)(t)] is measured. Starting with a given initial eigenstate of the thermal
density |X,v,j><X,v,j|, the dipole operator (3) ensures that after the first
interaction with the radiation field the first-order coherence is prepared:
ρ(1)(t)=
v’,v,j∑c(v,v’,j+1,j)B,v’,j+1;tX,v,j+c(v,v’,j−1,j)B,v’,j−1;tX,v,j [] +c.c.
=ϕB(1)(t)ϕX(0)(t)+ϕB(1)(t)ϕX(0)(t)+c.c.
(7b)7in which the state coefficients are a function of the applied field (4), and contain
Frank-Condon factors and rotational matrix elements. The second pulse prepares
the electronic population, ρ(2)(t)=ϕX(2)(t)ϕX(0)(t)+c.c., which is a ro-vibrational
coherence ρ(2)(t)=∑c(v",j")X,v",j";tX,v,j;t+c.c. with j” = j, j±2 and v” ≠ v
since P and S pulses do not have any spectral overlap. Finally, according to Fig.
1, in the four-wave process a given eigenstate is forward propagated on excited
B→X→B states over the intervals t21→t32→t43, then dipole projected back onto the
original eigenstate and propagated in reverse-time over the t34 interval. This
three-time correlation contributes a unity (reaches its maximum value) when the
phase accumulated over the time-circuit is an integer multiple of 2 π:3
/G1/G1Ω(t;’,",’’’)=[Ev,jX(t1−t4)+Ev’’’,j’’’B(t4−t3)+Ev",j"X(t3−t2)+Ev’,j’B(t2−t1)]//G61
=ωv,jXt41+ωv’’’,j’’’Bt34+ωv",j"Xt23+ωv’,j’Bt12
=2πn(8)
This defines the condition for phase coherence in CARS, for a given path in state
space. Note, for a given path in vibrational space – v, v’, v”, v’’’ – the ∆j=±1 dipole
selection rules lead to six rotational paths to close the time-circuit. This is
illustrated in Fig. 4, in a standard diagram showing optical transitions withvertical arrows (Fig. 4a), and in a schematic “wiring ” diagram (Fig. 4b). The bra-
state, <v,j;t| , represented by the lower line in Fig. 4b, acts as a reference for
defining instantaneous phases of the evolving ket-states. Thus, the instantaneous
complex amplitudes in the coherent superposition a’|v’,j+1><v,j| + b ’|v’,j-
1><v,j| prepared by the P-pulse are given as:
a’(t)=c’e−iΩ’(t) with
Ω(t)=(ωv’,j+1B−ωv,jX)(t−t1), where c’ is determined by the laser field and transition
matrix elements. For a laser pulse short in comparison to ro-vibrational periods,
phase evolution under the pulses may be ignored. Thus, the amplitudes in the
final superposition a’’’|v’’’,j+1><v,j| + b ’’’|v’’’,j-1><v,j| are controlled by the
interference between the three paths that connect each of the final j±1 pair of
eigenstates to the initial coherent j±1 pair, with path lengths controlled by the
delay between laser pulses. The detectable polarization consists of contributionsfrom closed circuits from each of the thermally occupied initial eigenstates, as asquared, real quantity with a definite phase. Since it is the bulk polarization thatis detected experimentally, and the individual time-circuits starting from each
statistical initial state is phase-locked by the sudden action of the P-pulse at t = t
1,
all components of the radiation may interfere among themselves. Both phase andmagnitude information is contained in the polarization, and can be retrieved
46
3 Contrary to the practice of identifying the ground state quantum numbers with double
primes, we will identify the ground state indices without primes while first, second and third
order states are identified with one, two, and three primes, respectively.8(phase, to within a sign in the present measurements). We will discuss the
information stored, manipulated, and retrieved in the various order quantumcoherences after presenting the experiment and its analysis.
II. EXPERIMENTAL
Experimentally, it is more natural to think about the four-wave mixing process interms of bulk polarization.
3 In the long-wave limit, the third-order bulk
susceptibility probed in CARS, P(3), results from molecular contributions, P(3) =
NP(3), where N is the molecular number density, and the third-order molecular
polarization is the response to three applied fields mediated by the fourth rank
hyperpolarizability tensor, γ:
Pρ(3)(ω0,t)=
(1,2,3)∑
στν∑γρστν(−ω0,ω1,ω2,ω3)Eσ(k3ω3,t3)Eτ(k2ω2,t2)Eν(k1ω1,t1) (9)
We use two colors for the three input beams: ω1=ω3≡ωP=ωP’ and ω2≡ωS,
in the forward BOXCARS arrangement illustrated in Figure 5.53 The three beams
propagating along separate wavevectors, after passing through separate delaylines, are brought into focus using a single achromatic doublet (fl = 25 cm). Two
pinholes serve to spatially filter,
PkAS(3)(t)=drei(kP+kP’−kS)rP(3)∫, the forward-scattered
coherent polarization along the anti-Stokes (AS) wavevector:
kAS=kp+kp’−kS (10a)
with associated energy conservation condition:
ω0≡ωAS=2ωP−ωS (10b)
In conventional implementations, the signal consists of the directional
coherent AS polarization collected with a single element square-law detector, asa function of delay between pulses:
S(t1,t2,t3)=dt4[∫PkAS(3)(t4;t3,t2,t1)]2(11)
Instead, we record the spectrally resolved AS radiation in one of two modes:
time-integrated or time-gated detection.
In Time-integrated frequency-resolved CARS (TIFRCARS) , the spatially
filtered AS polarization is dispersed in a 1/4-m monochromator and detected
using a CCD array. The integration is over t≡t4, and since pulsed lasers are used,
the limits of integration can be extended to ± ∞:9IAS(ω;t1,t2,t3)=[dte−iωt
−∞∞
∫PAS(3)(t)]2(12)
The recorded AS spectrum is composed of the signal elements (pixels) of the
array
S(ω0)=[dω∫f(ω−ω0,δω)dte−iωt
−∞∞
∫PAS(3)(t)]2
=[dω∫f(ω−ω0,δω)PAS(3)(ω)]2(13)
with f(ω-ω0,δω) defined as the amplitude bandpass of the spectrometer. By
selecting the time delays between pulses, t1, t2, t3, the time integrated spectrum
(12) yields images of the first and second coherences. Thus, following the time-
circuit diagram in Fig. 1, the AS spectrum obtained as a function of t21 with t32 = 0
(i.e., with P pulse preceding the coincident S and P ’ pulses), yields the evolution
in first-order coherence :
S(ω,t21)=S(ω;δ[t3−t2],t2−t1)≡S(ω,t<)
=[dte−iωt
−∞∞
∫PAS(3)(t,δ[t3−t2],t2−t1)]2(14a)
Similarly, the time integrated spectrum obtained with coincident P and S pulses,
δ[t2-t1], as a function of delay of the P ’ pulse, yields the evolution in second –order
coherence :
S(ω,t32)=S(ω;t3−t2,δ[t2−t1])≡S(ω,t>)
=[dte−iωt
−∞∞
∫PAS(3)(t,t3−t2,δ[t2−t1])]2(14b)
Since P and P ’ pulses are identical, in practice, one of the pump pulses is
overlapped in time with the Stokes pulse and the second pump pulse is scanned
in time. The experimental convention uses negative time, S(t<), to identify
measurement in first-order coherence over t21, and positive time signal, S(t>), to
identify measurement of evolution in second-order coherence, over t32.
Experimentally, coincident pulses imply two pulses with a relative delay that issmall in comparison to their width. The relative delay is adjusted whileoptimizing a particular signal.
Time-gated frequency-resolved CARS (TGFCARS) is implemented by passing
the AS beam through a Kerr gate before entering the monochromator. The Kerrcell consists of a 5-mm long cuvette filled with CS
2, held between a cross-
polarized pair of prisms (see Fig. 5). A few percent of the 800 nm fundamental of10the Ti:Sapphire laser, polarized at 45 ° relative to the CARS beam and passed
through a separate delay line, is used to induce Kerr rotation in the cell. Spatialand temporal overlap of the gate pulse with the CARS pulse is obtained usingthe non-resonant signal from air. This also provides a calibration of the gate
width,
δt = 500 fs, in agreement with the known Kerr response of CS2.54 For a
fixed time sequence of input pulses, the CARS spectrum as a function of gate
delay, t4, yields the two-dimensional image of the evolving third-order coherence
S(ω0,t4)=dtg(t4−t,δt)S(ω0,t) ∫ (15)
Since, the width of the Kerr gate is comparable to vibrational periods in iodine;
the signal will smooth over the vibrational modulation. The spectral resolution,
δ, is determined by the broader of the spectrometer bandpass or the inverse gate
width: δ2 = δω2+c-2δt-2. TGFCARS is similar to heterodyne detection, however,
since the pulses used in the experiment are not phase locked, only an envelope
function appears in (15), and phase information is lost. The fs laser source used in these experiments consists of a Ti:Sapphireoscillator, which is chirped pulse amplified at 1 kHz to an energy of 700
µJ/pulse, and compressed to a pulse width of 70 fs. The pulse is split with a 50%
beam splitter to pump two three-stage optical parametric amplifiers (OPA). The
OPA output is frequency up-converted by sum generation, to provide tunabilityin the 480-2000 nm spectral range. The time-frequency profiles of the pulses areadjusted with two-prism compressors following each OPA. The pulses are nottransform-limited. The OPA output is adjusted to yield a bandwidth of 450 cm
-1.
Critical alignment of beams in space and time is crucial for the successful
execution of the experiments. This is achieved by first optimizing the non-
resonant CARS signal obtained from a 200 µm thick glass plate, then removing
the plate and optimizing the non-resonant CARS signal from air, and finally
inserting the static quartz cell containing I2 heated to 50 °C in the beam overlap
region. The cell is positioned to optimize the signal, then beam paths are adjustedto compensate for changes introduced by the cell windows.
III. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
A) The ro-vibrational third-order coherence – TGFCARS:
A time-gated, frequency-resolved CARS (TGFCARS) spectrum is shown in
Figure 6. The image was obtained with coincident S+P ’ pulses, t23 =0, delayed
from the P pulse by one vibrational period in the B state, t12 = 380 fs. A nearly
identical image is obtained with all three pulses in coincidence, t12=t23=0. The AS
polarization, which is patterned by interference among ~103 ro-vibrational11transitions is followed for 55 ps, with an effective resolution of 20 cm-1. This
direct image of the third-order coherence was previously analyzed in somedetail.
12 The main features of the interferogram are easily understood:
a) An intense signal occurs at t = 0 , which within 1.5 ps decays to a 12 ps
period of silence indicating complete destructive interference. At t = 0 ,
since Ω = 0 for all eigenstates in the superposition, all states radiate in
phase. Given the dense manifold of ro-vibrational states under the
sampling gate, the initial decay is simply the dephasing time given by theinverse of the detection bandpass (20 cm
-1). The period of silence
corresponds to a flat distribution of phases of rotational transitionscollected under the time-frequency window of detection.
b) As the highest observable rotational states execute an Ω = 2π phase
rotation, Eq. 8, the polarization reappears, and develops into five chirped
trails of rotational revivals in the five vibrational states v =31-36 of thethird-order wavepacket. The periodicity of recursions can be understoodas the beat between adjacent spectral components of the polarization. The
hyperbolic trails result from the inverse dependence of recursion time,
τr,
on rotational quantum number:
1/τr = 2(B ”-B’)j/c (16)
where B ” and B ’ are the rotational constants in the ground and excited
states, respectively.12
c) The trails develop a complex pattern due to interference between
different rotational transitions of a single vibrational transition, as thedifference between rotational recursions (winding numbers) of rotationalstates in a given vibration increases with time. Interference also occurs asrotational recurrences from different vibrations overlap in the time-frequency plane.
All details of the two-dimensional interferogram can be reproduced using the
accurately known spectroscopic constants of iodine,
55 as shown in the simulation
in Fig. 6. The image of the third-order polarization is reconstructed byconsidering the AS radiation sampled under the time-frequency gate, consisting
of P- and R-branch transitions ( j-1
→j and j+1→j ):

While their evaluation is straightforward, since within the sampling bandpass
the transition coefficients are slow functions of wavelength, we set c(v,j,v ’’’,j±1) =
1 in the simulations. The good comparison between simulation and experimentin Fig. 6 validates this approximation, and suggests robustness of the detectablepolarization. The latter consideration is quite valuable in the quantumcomputational applications to be considered.
The interference structure in the third-order polarization occurs on several
time-frequency scales, therefore the detected image can vary substantively withthe choice of laser colors. The simulations in Fig. 7 and 8 are instructive in thisregard. They are used to illustrate the interference pattern on a spectral rangemuch larger than the experiment. In Fig. 7a the recursion trails of the P-branch oftransitions from v ’’’= 34 is shown. In Fig. 7b, both P- and R- branches of v ’’’ = 34
are included to show the interference between rotational branches of a singlevibrational band. Fig. 8 illustrates the third-order polarization for v ’’’ = 26-45 in
the B state. The image in Fig. 8a is obtained by summing over the squaredtransition probabilities, as opposed the squared sum required by Eq. 17 andshown in Fig. 8b. This allows the illustration of the ro-vibrational revivals, withand without interference among the transitions. Remarkably, the intricate,predictable pattern that arises after a few rotational revivals (the slow pattern ofinterferences in 8b reflects the variation of vibration dependent rotational
constants), is expected to last until decoherence, therefore until t ~10
-9s.57
B) First- and second-order coherences – TIFRCARS:
Time-integrated frequency-resolved CARS (TIFRCARS) spectra, as a function of
time delay between P and coincident S+P pulses are shown in Figure 9a; withrepresentative temporal and spectral slices shown in Figures 9b and 9c. The data
were acquired with non-transform limited pulses, with pump centered at λ
P = 553
nm (∆λP = 15 nm, ∆τP = 70 fs) and Stokes centered at λS = 577 nm ( ∆λS = 20 nm, ∆τS
= 90 fs). The time-integrated spectra in Fig. 9c identify the ro-vibrational
composition of the prepared third-order coherence. Vibrational recursions whichform the high frequency modulation of the time slices in Fig. 9b, appear as
stripes in the time-frequency image in Fig. 9a. At t = 0 , when the three input13pulses overlap, a dense, nearly structureless spectrum which arises from multiple
interaction diagrams is observed, see Fig. 9b. Upon introducing delays longerthan a vibrational period in the excited or ground electronic state, the scatteringsignal intensity drops, and significantly simplified spectra emerge. We will beconcerned with the signal at finite time delays, when the P pulse is delayed oradvanced relative to the coincident P+S pair, as defined by Eq. 14. In Figure 10,
we show the same data as in Fig. 9, now stretched to time delays of t = ±25 ps .
The time step in these scans is correspondingly coarser,
∆t = 100 fs , suitable to
obtain images of rotational recursions.
Evolution in first order coherence is followed over the t12 interval, or at negative
time according to our convention (14a) . At ωP = 553 nm , the P pulse prepares a
packet centered near v’ = 22 in the B state, and the observed period of 370 fs is
consistent with the 87cm-1 spacing of vibrational levels at this energy: τ =
/G61/[E(v=22)-E(v=21) ] = 380 fs. At 0 > t > -2ps , the waveform is deeply modulated; it
consists of sharp vibrational recurrences which lose intensity with time, as the
rotational density starts to evolve. Rotational revivals occur with a wide
dispersion in time, for t < -2ps , leading to the slow rolling background. Once
rotational phases spread, vibrational recurrences appear with greatly reduceddepth of modulation. As ro-vibrational states which have executed differentnumbers of periods (windings) overlap, the vibrational recursions blur, and the
fast modulation is nearly eliminated at t< -6 ps, see Fig. 9b. The spectral slices
provide complementary information and check the consistency of interpretation.
The spectrum at t = - 2ps consists of the vibronic progression B( v’ = 27-34 ) → X(v
= 0). At this early time in the evolution of rotational phases, the band profile of
each vibration approximates the thermal distribution of rotational states, with
population peaking near j = 50 . This spectrum also allows to establish that the
contribution of transitions terminating on v = 1 is negligible (less than 5%). As
time progresses, see the slice at t = - 4ps , the rotational band profiles sharpen and
shift to lower j states, to states which have not yet evolved out of phase. At later
time, at t = -6ps and t = -8ps , the spectra lose definition, retaining little
resemblance to the trivially recognizable spectrum at t = -2 ps . The spectral
features now consist of a congested set of ro-vibrational resonances, due tooverlapping ro-vibrational transitions that fall within the spectral bandpass ofthe monochromator.
Evolution in the second-order coherence is followed over the t
32 time interval, or at
positive time according to our convention (14b). This tracks the evolution of the
Raman packet on the X state. The persistent shallow modulation observed in thewaveforms in Fig. 9b, occur with a period of 160 fs. This is consistent with apacket near X(v ” = 4), which could also be inferred from the Raman resonance
condition
ω = ωP-ωS,. In contrast, the set of prominent peaks at 0 < t < 1ps in the
541 nm waveform show a period of 350fs. Quite clearly, these vibrational
resonances do not belong in the ground electronic state – they are not part of the
Raman packet created by the P+S pulses. Evidently, an additional scattering14channel contributes to the signal. This is re-enforced by the congested spectra at
positive time (see Fig. 9c), which do not show a simple vibrational progressioneven at early time. This additional scattering channel cannot be reconciled withthe two-electronic state Hamiltonian that we have assumed until now. Resonantscattering over yet another electronic state is implicated. To be certain, weconsider the explicit wavepacket simulation of the 2-D image of vibronic CARSwithin the two-electronic state Hamiltonian.
C) Numerical simulation of vibronic TIFRCARS:
Ignoring all rotational contributions, the vibronic CARS spectra are simulated by
the wavepacket propagation method of Kosloff and Kosloff.58 The simulations
were performed assuming that the laser fields only couple the X and B electronicpotentials, which are both described as Morse functions.
59 The various order
wavepackets are obtained sequentially according to Eq. 4, by integrating thetime-dependent Hamiltonian, starting with:
/G1/G1i/G61∂
∂tϕX(0 )(t)=HXϕX(0)(t) (19)
and evaluating all contributions to the third-order polarization:
/G1/G1i/G61∂
∂tϕα(n)(t)=Hαϕα(n)(t)+µαβEl(t)e±iωltϕβ(n−1)(t) (20)
where l = P, S, P ’ and for n even, α = X and β = B while for n odd, α = B and β =
X. The third-order polarization in this perturbation treatment is represented by
the sequential absorption and emission of photons ( −ωl, and +ωl, respectively,
when acting on the ket state). For the laser envelope, El(t), a Gaussian of fwhm =
70 fs is used, with a transform limited spectral width of 210 cm-1. Taking ωP = ωP’
= 550 nm, and ωS = 571.5 nm, all permutations of the fields in (20) generate ten
different-order packets, which are simultaneously propagated for 20 ps. The time
dependent spectra are then evaluated by Fourier transformation of the third-order time dependent polarization along the AS direction:
S(ω,τ)=dte−iωtP2kP−kS(3)(t,τ)
−∞∞
∫2
(21)
The calculated time-frequency image is shown in Figure 11. The simulated
spectra have been convoluted with a Gaussian of fwhm = 70 fs to compensate forthe absence of rotations in the comparisons with experiment.15Since, all possible timing diagrams are explicitly included in the
computation, their contribution to the final observables can be directly assessed.Thus, at negative time, the AS polarization formally consists of:
P2kP−kS(3)(t)=ϕX(0)ˆ µ ϕB(3)(ωP’,−ωS,ωP,t)+ϕX(2)(ωS,−ωP,t)ˆ µ ϕB(1)(ωP’,t)+c.c.
(22)
while at positive time (see diagrams in Fig. 2):
P2kP−kS(3)(t)=ϕX(0)ˆ µ ϕB(3)(ωP’,−ωS,ωP,t)
+ϕX(2)(ωS,−ωP’,t)ˆ µ ϕB(1)(ωP,t)+ϕX(2)(ωS,−ωP,t)ˆ µ ϕB(1)(ωP’,t)+c.c.
(23)
For the chosen input pulses, the contribution from the first term in both (22) and(23) is three orders of magnitude larger than the rest of the terms. Hence theimportance of the time-circuit diagram in Fig. 1 which has been used in all of ourdiscussions. The closed nature of the time circuit diagrams implies that eachinitial statistical state can be separately evaluated, and co-added to obtain theoverall signal. As such, it is verified that although the thermal occupation ofB(v=1) is 35%, its contribution to the final spectrum is negligible (<1%). This isthe result of the strong selectivity of the nonlinear CARS process, as expressed bythe weights of states in Eq. 18.
The agreement between simulation and data over the t
12 interval (negative
time) is quite acceptable, given that rotations are not included in the simulation.The simulation predicts a rather simple vibrational progression. The firstrecursion occurs with a relatively compact packet, giving a pulse width limitedsignal. Due to the anharmonicity of the potential, the recurrences in the signal
broaden with time and develop a chirp. By the tenth recurrence, near t = 4 ps , the
packet splits and shows a doubling in the signal, in good agreement with theexperimental 2-D image of Fig 9a.
The predicted image at positive time is rather similar to that at negative
time. It consists of a simple vibrational progression, now with a recurrence givenby the X-state vibrational period. The simulation does not reproduce thecongested and strongly blue shifted spectrum observed in the experiment atpositive time (see Fig. 9c). Indeed, in the two-electronic state Hamiltonian, if timeevolution is ignored under the laser pulses, then the spectral composition of theCARS signal should be symmetric in time. This would be the expectation if wewere to note that states in the third-order superposition are determined by
energy conservation,
δ[E-(2ωP-ωS)]. Evolution of the molecular Hamiltonian
under the laser pulses breaks this symmetry. The simulations show that at
negative time, the spectral intensity peaks near 530 nm, near the wavelengthpredicted by the energy conservation condition (10a). At positive delay, thespectral maximum of the third order polarization shifts down by two vibrationalquanta, to 533 nm. The down-shift is the result of chirp generated by thesequential action of two pulses on a fast evolving packet,
60,61 which is a process16inherent to resonant Raman preparation. Despite the spectral shift of two
vibrational quanta, inspection of the Wigner distribution of third-order packetcreated after one period of evolution in either first or second order coherencedoes not reveal any clear difference. The vibrational superposition is essentiallyunchanged.
The simulated spectral asymmetry in time is in the opposite direction of
what is observed in the experiment in Fig. 9c. We have verified experimentallythat the spectral envelopes and their time-asymmetry are sensitive to smalldelays in time overlap of the nominally coincident S+P pulses. Similarly,although not systematically studied, we have verified that spectral envelopes aresensitive to the chirp in the laser pulses. Either the chirp of the lasers must beincluded in the simulations, or chirp must be eliminated from the pulses to bemore quantitative in this comparison. At present, we do not fully understand the
bi-modal spectral distribution observed at positive time (see spectrum at t = 2ps
in Fig. 9). An intriguing possibility is the interference between preparation ofRaman packets via the B and B ” surfaces (see Fig. 12). Indeed, interference
between these two channels has been identified previously in the analysis of theresonant Raman spectra of iodine in rare gas solids.
62
D) P(1,2)(t) contribution – Interference between vibronic packets:
Laser chirp cannot explain the vibrational recurrences that appear at 0<t<1ps in
the waveforms for λ = 532 nm – 541 nm in Fig. 9b. This set of recurrences appears
most prominently in the 541 nm waveform, where as many as four resonances
are observed with a period of 350 fs, over a background modulated at twicehigher frequency by the vibrational packet on the X state. The observed period istoo slow to be assigned to a packet on the X state, and it is distinctly faster than
the 380 fs period of the packet prepared by the pump pulse near v = 22 of the B
state. A packet near v= 19 of the B state would have the observed period.
However, energetically, such a packet could not be prepared with the pulsesused. Moreover, if prepared, it would not be expected to decay as rapidly asobserved. Since the simulations succeed in capturing the negative time image,and since they contain all timing diagrams of the third-order polarization, wemay conclude that these anomalous vibronic resonances involve an additionalelectronic state in the molecular Hamiltonian.
A consistent interpretation of this scattering channel is obtained by
considering the interferometric signal between two vibrational packets in the Bstate, separately prepared by the pump and Stokes pulses near v = 22 and v = 14,and cross-correlated via a transition to a short-lived excited electronic state. Thesuggested time-circuit diagram for this process is given in Figure 12. It assumesoptical coupling between the B state and a higher lying electronic surface thatcan be reached with the P ’-photon. Energetically, a manifold of I*+I and I* + I*
repulsive potentials are accessible. We assume in the figure that the transition is17B(0u)↔I*I*(0g), which we have previously analyzed.63 To be clear, consider the
transcription of the time-circuit diagram of Fig. 12 to the explicit perturbation
expression for a given spectral component of the AS polarization:

(24)
in which the time origin, t2, is taken as that of the coincident arrival of P+S
pulses. For a dissociative upper state, since the resonant scattering is in effect
instantaneous, we may suppress evolution past t3. Since the duration of the laser
is short in comparison to the period of motion, the snapshot limit is appropriate.Then in terms of the dipole dressed wave packets,
φ, we have:
P(1,2)(t)=φB(1)(t;−ωs)E(ωp’)δ[ωp−∆VCB]φB(1)(t;ωp)+c.c.
=φB(1)(t;−ωs)W(q)φB(1)(t;ωp)+c.c.
=dpdqdp’dq’∫φB(1)(t;−ωs)p’,q’p’,q’W(q)p,qp,qφB(1)(t;ωp)+c.c. (25)
where t is the time delay between the arrival of S+P and P ’ pulses. Given an
assumed form of the upper state potential, Eq. 24 is easily integratednumerically. Analytical evaluation of Eq. 25 is possible by taking a stationary
Gaussian for the window function, W(q), and Gaussian packets for the P- and S-
prepared superpositions. If we were to assume a window delta in space, then(25) reduces to the cross correlation between the S- and P-prepared packets. Thiscorrelation in energy representation, yields the strictly temporal evolution of thesignal:

and

v∑e−βEvv’v2E(ωS)δ[/G61ωS−∆Evv’](27)
and the projector from v ” to v ’ in (26) is the stimulated Raman process spelled
out in (24). Under the assumption that this process does not color the CARSspectrum we may set the coefficients c(v ’,v”) to a constant. Using the
experimental spectral profiles of the P- and S-pulses, the vibrational amplitudesin each of the prepared superpositions are defined according to (27), and theexpected time-dependent CARS signal obtained according to (26). The simulated
P
(1,2)(t) contribution to the signal is shown in Fig. 13. Note, the scattering at t = 0
has contributions from several diagrams, and therefore will be modulated as afunction of AS wavelength. This is illustrated in Fig. 13 by showing thewaveforms obtained at two wavelengths. The spectral dispersion of thewaveform is given in (24). The observable signal can also be understood as thecross-correlation between the two packets. Thus, for an S-prepared packetcentered at v = 14 with a mean vibrational spacing of
ω S = G(v=14) – G(v=13) =
102.6 cm-1 (period = 325 fs), and a P-prepared packet centered at v = 22, with ω p=
G(v = 22) – G(v=21) = 87.6 cm-1 (period = 380 fs); the signal is obtained by
squaring (26):
I(1,2)(ωAs,t)=Icos(ω S+ω p
2t+ϑ)cos(ω S−ω p
2t+ϑ)e−t/τ(28)
The signal contains three characteristic time constants:
a) A fast modulation at the center frequency, τ1 ∼ 2/(ω S + ω p) = 350 fs,
corresponding to the superposition moving out of the window as a whole;
b) A slower modulation at the difference frequency, τ2 = 2/(ω S - ω p) = 2 ps,
corresponding to decay of the signal as the S- and P-prepared packets
split;
c) An even slower decay envelope given by the dispersion of frequencies
within each distribution, namely, the spreading of the individual packets
dictated by the local anharmonicities on the B state, τ3 = 1/ωexe = 15 ps.
The slower decay time, τ3, is now convoluted with the rotational dephasing
which occurs on a similar time scale; and intensities in signal recurrences will
now depend on the rotational phase distribution. Note, despite the decay of themodulation, this channel will contribute to the scattering process at all positivetimes, responsible in part for the broad time-integrated spectra at positive timesin Fig. 9c.19Additional electronic resonances can be inferred from the known dense
manifold of electronic states of iodine, and from experiments in which we varythe time ordering in the sequence of non-overlapping pulses. As example, notethat the B ” state (Fig. 3) which is directly accessible from the ground, must
contribute to CARS at positive delays. Under coincident P+S pulses, packetscreated by the P pulse on both the B and B ” surfaces may be transferred to the X
state with the S pulse. Due to the difference in the curvature of potentials, the Band B ” channels of scattering would create a bimodal vibrational distribution in
the X state, which would then be reflected in the AS spectrum. However, sincethe B ” state is dissociative, it cannot contribute to CARS at negative delays. A
delay of <20 fs after the P pulse would be sufficient to ensure that the B ” packet
escapes further interrogation.
In short, there are several distinct electronic scattering channels that are
observed to contribute to the CARS signal at positive delay, while a singlechannel dominates the signal at negative delay.
E) The ro-vibrational contribution to first- and second-order images:
The ro-vibrational contribution to the time-integrated CARS spectrum can be
written down with the help of the diagram in Fig. 4. Since the detection involves
integration over t4, the signal is determined by the time intervals t32 and t21. For a
given path in vibrational state space, v’,v”,v’’’, three rotational circuits contribute
to a given ro-vibronic transition in the CARS spectrum. Thus, for a P( j) transition
we have:
IP(j)(3)(v’,v",v’’’)={(2j+1)eβEv,j[c1e−i[ωv’,j+1t21+ωv",jt32−ωv,jt31]
+c2e−i[ωv’,j−1t21+ωv",jt32−ωv,jt31]
+c3e−i[ωv’,j−1t21+ωv",j−2t32−ωv,jt31]+c.c.]}2 (29)
in which the weighting coefficients are the transition matrix elements
encountered in (18). Ignoring the slowly varying coefficients, namely rotationalmatrix elements and F-C factors, but retaining the energy conservation condition
derived from the spectral composition of the pulses c(v’,v”,v’’’) =
δ[EL-Ev,j]3, it is
possible to reproduce the experimental waveforms of Figure 8 and 9. At positive
delay ( t32 = 0), the AS spectral line intensity will be modulated according to:
IP(j)(3)(v’,v",v’’’,t21)=(2j+1){eβEv,jc(v’,v",v’’’)
v’,v"∑ e−i(ωv’,j+1−ωv,j)t21[ +2e−i(ωv’,j−1−ωv,j)t21+c.c.]}2
(30a)
while at negative time ( t21 = 0):20IP(j)(3)(v’,v",v’’’,t32)=(2j+1){eβEv,jc(v’,v",v’’’)
v’,v"∑ 2[e−i(ωv",j−ωv,j)t32+e−i(ωv",j−2−ωv,j)t32+c.c.]}2
(30b)
These impulse response functions, when convoluted with the laser cross-
correlation function yield the finite pulse signals. Carrying out the square in (30)yields the rotational recursions at beat frequencies:
/G1/G1[(Ev’,j+1−Ev,j)−(Ev’,j−1−Ev,j)]//G61=4B (v’)j (31a)
/G1/G1[(Ev",j−Ev,j)−(Ev",j−2−Ev,j)]//G61=4B (v")j (31b)
where B(v ’) and B(v ”) are the vibration dependent rotational constants in the
excited and ground electronic states, respectively; and the over-bar impliesaveraging over the v ’,v” states that are accessible under the broadband laser
pulses.
In Fig 14 we provide a comparison between simulation (30) and an
experimental waveform sliced from the two-dimensional image in Fig. 9. The
simulation uses (30a) and (30b) separately, and joins them at t = 0 . This results in
the mismatch of amplitude for the peak at t= 0. At t= 0, since t
21 = t32, the two
diagrams shown as insets are degenerate, and therefore interfere (destructively).On this time-scale since the evolution is entirely vibrational, the effect isreproduced in the explicit wavepacket simulations of Fig. 11. To match the depthof modulation in experiment and simulation, we have used a convolution width
of 70 fs in t
12, and a width of 140 fs in t23. This effective reduction of modulation
depth for interrogating the Raman packet is expected, and discussed in somedepth previously.
16 It is a result of the separation between positive and negative
momentum components of the Raman packet as it enters the resonance window.
In Fig. 15 we provide the same comparison as in Fig. 14, but now for the
coarse grain, long-time scan of Fig. 10a. Although, single rotational lines areresolvable, the experimental spectra are instrument limited by the spectrometerbandpass of 8 cm
-1. Thus in the waveform of Fig. 14 which corresponds to the
spectral slice at 538 nm, the main contributing transitions are: R54(29-0), P50(29-0), R89(30-0), P85(30-0), R111(31-0), P108(31-0) where in parenthesis we give thevibrational transition. Note, in contrast with the third-order coherence obtainedwith gated detection, in this case the lines that overlap in the observationwindow do not interfere - they are simply convoluted with the spectralbandpass. The use of short pulses forces the fan-out in vibrational state space. Inthe present v ’ = 23-28 and v ” = 2-5 are the main contributors to the signal. The
vibration dependence of rotational constants (due to coriolis, centrifugal andhigher order distortions) generates dispersion in rotational recurrences evenwhen a single line is being monitored. Accordingly, the rotational recursions ofFig. 10 can be understood, as resulting from the overlap of several different ro-vibrational lines in the spectral bandpass of detection. The prominent recursion
is that of the thermal maximum in the rotational population, j~50 , for which21theB (v’)≈B(v’=25)=0.02414 cm-1,55 which leads to a period of 6.9 ps (31a) as
seen in Fig. 15 (we have not included higher order corrections to the rotational
constant in the simulations). For the Raman packet of Fig. 10b, the dominantrecursion occurs at t ~ 4.5 ps, consistent with
B (v")≈B(v"=3)=0.036966 cm-1.55
Due to approximations made in weighting coefficients and spectroscopic
constants, the match between experiment and simulation in Figures 14 and 15 isnot exact. Nevertheless, the comparison is sufficiently detailed to confirm ouranalysis of the manipulated molecular coherences.
IV. DISCUSSION
The detailed exposition of the experimental time-frequency resolved CARSmeasurements and their analysis in vapor iodine serves mainly for the purposesof understanding the four-wave mixing process with the molecule acting asmixer. Despite the fact that we are interrogating a diatomic, the participation of alarge number of rotational states in the molecular coherence makes the analysisvaluable. The time-frequency images are understood and reproduced in terms ofphase evolution in multi-dimensional state space; formally, in the Hilbert space,/G43, consisting of the tensor product of electronic, vibrational, and rotational
spaces: /G43 =/G3/G43
/c72/c79 ⊗/G3/G43 /c89/c76/c69 ⊗/G3/G43 /c85/c82/c87. The time-circuit diagrams and the phase coherence
condition (8) provide the necessary bookkeeping to describe the various order
coherences, as demonstrated by reconstructing the experimental two-dimensional images. The images contain information. The interferometric natureof the images, most clearly illustrated for the third-order coherence (figures 6-8),implies that the encoded information retains the wave nature inherent inquantum amplitudes. Such data can be used to reconstruct the molecularHamiltonian, by extracting accurate spectroscopic constants. Also, the significantcontrol exercised over the evolving molecular coherence through the three inputlaser fields can be taken as a paradigm for molecular control. The latter aspect,for the important case of single-color four-wave mixing has been recentlyexplored.
61,64 A useful application of quantum control is to be expected in
quantum computation, or quantum information transfer, which we explore here.
The observable coherent polarization is the outcome of operations on a
quantum register consisting of the superposition of product states elvibrot.
The nontrivial superposition of product states provides entanglement,65 an aspect
unique to quantum information and key to scalable parallelism in quantumcomputing.
9,10 In the present case, the Born-Oppenheimer separated molecular
Hamiltonian offers the ro-vibronic Hilbert space of 2 ×m×n (el⊗vib⊗rot)
dimensions with the possibility of three natural entanglements. While thedimensionality is quite large, m~10 and n~10
2, the structure of this space does
not conform to the theoretically optimal structure of 2N dimensional space,
namely, the space of N qubits. Nevertheless, given efficient parallel logicaloperations on a register of 10
3 elements and a processor speed of 10-15s - 10-12s,22significant applications can be expected. Tasks that rely on few entanglements
include Grover ’s search algorithm,20 and quantum cryptography.66 The mundane
building blocks for such applications – reset, logical operation, and readout – can
be readily inferred from the data presented. In what follows we first consider themeasurement and readout process more closely, then present the minimal butsufficient set of efficiently executable universal logic gates for all-purposequantum computing. It should be clear from the onset that the stored andretrieved information is in the complex amplitudes of eigenstates that define theevolving coherences. Process control is provided by the coherence of the laserfields, which can be thought to consist of a time sequence of discrete spectralcomponents.
A) Measurement and Readout
There is a fundamental difference between time-gated detection and time-
integrated detection of the anti-Stokes polarization. The first allows readout byprojection on superposition states, while the latter projects out a singlecomponent of the evolving polarization for observation. This is directlyillustrated for the electronic-rotational entanglement as discerned from therotational recurrences in various order coherences.
When using time-gated detection, the prominent rotational recurrence
frequency in third-order coherence occurs at | 2(B’-B”)j|, at the beat between
consecutive P-branch or R-branch transitions of the AS polarization (B ’ and B ”
are the rotational constant of the molecule in the B and X electronic state,
respectively). Noting that the classical rotation frequency of a diatomic is 2Bj, the
observed recurrence is recognized as the difference between classical periods ofrotation on the ground and excited electronic surfaces. It would appear that over
the t
43 interval the molecule rotates forward on one electronic surface and
backward on the other. The observable period of rotational recurrence reports aproperty of an electronically maximally entangled state:
ϕ=a∑Xvj+b∑Bv’’’j’’’, with a∑()2=b∑()2=0.5.67
In contrast, when using time-integrated detection, the rotational revivals
occur (31) with a frequency of 4B’j in first-order coherence, during t21, and at 4B”j
in second-order coherence, during t32, i.e., at twice the classical frequency of
rotation in the excited and ground state, respectively. Despite the fact that infirst-order the evolution is in an electronic coherence while in second-order it is avibrational coherence that evolves as an electronic population on the groundelectronic surface, in both cases the property of a single electronic state ismeasured. It would appear that the molecule is rotating in the excited electronic
state during t
21, just as it must rotate in the ground electronic state during t32.
These results can be understood using the time-circuit diagram of Fig. 4b. With t4
integrated out, and either t12 = 0 or t23 = 0, only two circuits contribute to a given
transition. In the observable beat between two such circuits, the common path23over <v,j| is cancelled (31), yielding the beat between states separated by 2j’ or
2j”. While this explains the signal, more fundamental is the recognition that
although over t21 the system evolves in an electronic superposition, Fourier
filtering over t4 projects out the excited electronic state, as recognized by
observing a rotational frequency that reflects the rotational constant of the Bstate.
TGFCARS detection projects out all transitions that fall under the time-
frequency bandwidth of detection. A dramatic manifestation of this is the period
of silence at 2 < t
4 < 10 ps in the third-order image of Fig. 6. This is the time
interval in which complete destructive interference occurs among the sampledtransitions. In terms of the Bloch sphere, by virtue of the equal electronic
superposition
(B+X)/ 2 the system evolves in the π/2 plane, and the silence
occurs as the rotational phases span a flat distribution over all azimuthal angles.
This occurs despite the fact that a thermal, statistical density serves as initial
state, and therefore the radiators in different j states are not initially correlated.
The sudden preparation of the initial state, and the fact that the CARS signal isdue to bulk polarization, establish a well defined phase among the independentmolecules. An even clearer demonstration of inter-molecular coherence in CARSis the observation of beating between vibrations of different molecules in liquidsolutions.
68
The above considerations of rotation-electronic entanglement apply
equally well to vibronic coherences. For example, in time-integrated detection,
the excited vibrational period is observed during t21 despite the fact that the
system is in an electronic superposition. In time-gated detection, a vibrationalbeat between excited and ground state packets occurs, which is effectivelysmoothed out in the experiments due to the width of the Kerr-gate.
A corollary to the observation that all transitions that fall under the time-
frequency gate of detection interfere, is that any selected pair (or sets) oftransitions can be made to interfere as long as they can be brought under a giventime-frequency gate. Such “hard-wiring ” can be accomplished experimentally,
e.g., by dispersing the AS polarization then recombining selected spectral ranges
on a single detector element after a suitable delay line. Alternatively, instead ofusing an impulse to drive the time gate, it is possible to use a temporally
modulated gate field to detect pre-selected superpositions, i.e., heterodyne
detection of CARS using a specifically tailored local oscillator. Such hardwiringcreates selective quantum correlations, in effect, producing entanglementthrough measurement.
B) Universal Logic Gates
The universal logic gates sufficient to demonstrate a quantum computer
consist of the one-qubit operations and the two-qubit controlled-not ( CNOT )
gate.
69 The full set of one-qubit operations is given by the Pauli spin matrices.70
Here, they can be readily demonstrated on the rotational coherences, and the24vibration-electronic entanglement is a readily available two-qubit CNOT gate.
We first offer the more suggestive representation of the single qubit operations interms of classical logic gates.
i) One qubit Operations
Consider the time integrated signal, and in particular, of the spectrally
resolved j-1→j transition illustrated in Fig. 4a. Let us assign the logical value “1”
to the presence of this line, and “0” to its absence in the TIFRCARS spectrum.
The upper level of this transition |B,v ’’’,j-1> is connected to the two coherent
inputs eiΩ(v",j)X,v",j and eiΩ(v",j−2)X,v",j−2, with phases Ω(v",j;t2) and
Ω(v",j)=[ω(v",j)−ω(v,j)]t32+Ω(v",j;t2) determined relative to the freely
evolving bra-state (see Fig. 1). As in the case of the simulations in Figures 14 and
15, here too, we neglect differences in amplitude due to transition matrix
elements. Then for the experimental data where t21 = 0 , the relative phase
between the two input lines is determined by the time interval t32, namely the
time delay between S- and P ’-pulses. Assigning the logical values “1” for Ω =
2nπ and “0” to Ω = (2n-1) π for integer n, we may construct a truth table for the
visibility of this particular spectral component:
1100
⊕1010 (33)
1001
This bivalent representation of interference between two input channels can be
recognized as the inverted exclusive-OR gate, XOR , (XOR , had we assigned “1”
to the absence of the line from the spectrum). The XOR gate allows modulo 2
addition, which is described by the ⊕ operation. The same consideration applied
to all nodes in Figure 4b produces the equivalent circuit of Figure 16. The figuredescribes the bivalent logic of the coherence transferred around the time-circuitdiagram of a single initial ro-vibrational eigenstate. If we were to consider the
coherent superposition prepared by the P-pulse at t = t
1, as the input qubit:
in≡a’B,v’,j+1;t1+b’B,v’,j−1;t1 (34a)
and identify the output qubit as the coherent superposition prepared at t = t3,
after action of the S- and P ’-pulses:
out≡a’’’B,v’’’,j+1;t3+b’’’B,v’’’,j−1;t3 (34b)
then using the diagram of Fig. 16 it is easily shown that if fully connected, the
circuit flips the logical states between input and output ( a’→ b’’’ and b’→a’’’).
Indeed, this is the bivalent prescription for the simulation of the TIFRCARS25signal for the second order coherence shown in Fig. 15 and given by (30) for the
continuous representation.
The circuit of Fig. 4b is more flexible than what is inferred by the bivalent
logic. The relative phase in the superpositions evolve continuously . Moreover, in
TGFCARS detection the relative phase in the output qubit is accessible
information. To keep track of this information, we re-write Eq. 29 in the two-dimensional space of the qubit.
out=ˆ µ EP’(t3)U(t32)ˆ µ ES(t2)U(t21)in
=˜ U (t32)˜ U (t21)a'
b'
=˜ U (t31)a'
b'
(35)
In the snapshot limit, since the ro-vibrational phases are frozen during the
vertical transitions, the entire evolution reduces to one of phases over pathsprescribed by the timing of the spectrally broad, temporally sharp pulses:
/G1/G1˜ U (t
21)=eiΩ(v’,j+1)
eiΩ(v’,j−1)
=eiΩ1
ei2B’(2j+1)t21/ /c61
(36)
with overall phase Ω=(Te+Ev’−Ev+Ej+1B,v’−EjX,v)t12//G61;
˜ U (t32)=eiχeiχ2+eiχ0eiχ0
eiχ0eiχ−2+eiχ0
=eiχeiχ01+σx[]eiχ21
ei(χ−2−χ2)
(37)
with overall vibronic phase /G1/G1χ=(Te+Ev"−Ev)t23//G61; and /G1/G1χi=(Ej+iX,v"−EjX,v)t23//G61.
All rotations under SU(2) are accessible under the timing conditions already
realized in the presented data. Thus,
for t32=0 and /G1/G1t21=(2n−1)π/G61/[2B’(2j+1)]
˜ U (t31)=˜ U (t21)=eiΩ1
−1
=2eiΩσz (38)
This simply states that the free evolution of the qubit in the t21 interval
corresponds to rotation around the z-axis on the Bloch sphere. This rotation
occurs with 4B’j periodicity (38a), namely, the recursion period of the first order
coherence (31a). If we do not take advantage of the overall vibronic phase, then
to execute /G86z rotation on the manifold of j states, it would be necessary to use a
chirped pulse, with a coherence similar to the third order polarization of Fig. 6.
The fast vibronic phase, Ω, allows the execution of the transformation on all j
states in parallel, by using a short pulse.26For t21=0, χ0=2nπ, χ2−χ−2=2nπ; therefore /G1/G1t32=nπ/G61/[2B’(2j−1)] and
χ+χ2=(2n−1)π:
˜ U (t31)=˜ U (t32)=01
10
=2σx (39)
Since /G1/G1χ0=(EjX,v"−EjX,v)t23//G61=(BX,v"−BX,v)t23//G61, and rotational constants of
different vibrations within the same electronic state are similar, χ0~0 is easily
fulfilled. As before, it is necessary to take advantage of the vibronic overall
phase, χ, for parallel execution of /G86x rotation on the manifold of rotational qubits.
The execution of a /G86y rotation requires finite t21 and t32. The required
conditions are readily obtained. In principle this is superfluous, since arbitraryrotation around two independent axes is sufficient to span the full space of thetwo-dimensional qubit.
ii) Two-qubit controlled gate
A useful two-qubit CNOT gate would be one that operates on entangled
states, using qubits in different spaces as target and control.71 Until now, the
electronic and vibrational qubits have been used as simple state tags, with theirstates determined by the order of interaction with the laser field. Thisdeterminism in the electronic state is the result of choosing P. S. P ’ colors that
yield only one diagram in the four-wave mixing process. To control electronicqubits arbitrarily, it is necessary to create a multiplicity of interfering paths. Thisis realized in single-color four-wave mixing, or for the condition where all threeinput fields overlap spectrally, since under such conditions CARS and CSRSpaths can interfere. As an illustrative example, consider the vibrational phase ofan input vibronic qubit to control the electronic superposition in the outputqubit.
At the expense of greatly reducing the vibrational vector space, let us
return to the wavepacket picture |
ϕv> and assign it a logical value |1> when the
packet is in the Frank-Condon window of the X ↔B transition, and |0>
otherwise. To further conform to quantum logic implementations, let us code the
electronic qubit as |0> ≡ |X> and |1> ≡ |B>. Then, after preparation of the
initial coherence with the first pulse, the action of the pulse at t= t2 can be defined
as:
ϕvϕelES(t2) → ϕv(ϕv⊕ϕel) (40a)
Which reads: if the vibrational packet is in the F-C window, then change the
electronic state. This can be verified to be the two-qubit CNOT gate with the
logical values2710 → 11
11 → 10
00 → 00
01 → 01(40b)
Depending on t2, the operation in (40) controls the electronic superposition that
will evolve in the t32 interval. Thus, taking ωX and ωB as the frequencies of
vibrational packets in the X and B states, respectively; starting with the coherence
ϕv’BXϕv prepared by the pump pulse; the possible outcomes of the action of
the pulse at t2 are:
ϕv’BXϕvE(t2) → .ϕv’BBϕv if t21=2nπ/wX
E(t2) → .ϕv’XXϕv if t21=2nπ/wB
E(t2) → .aϕv’XXϕv+bϕv’BBϕv if t21=2nπ/wB=2mπ/wX
(41)
When t21 = 2nπ/ωX, the bra-packet on the X electronic surface is in the F-C
window when the second pulse arrives, therefore an electronic population is
created in the B state: 0BX1 → ϕv’BBϕv. When t21 = 2nπ/ωB, the ket-
packet on the B electronic state is in the F-C window when the second pulse
arrives, therefore an electronic population is created on the X surface: 1BX0
→ ϕv’XXϕv. Finally, when t21 = 2nπ/ωB = 2mπ/ωX, when the packets on the B
and X surfaces are simultaneously in the F-C window, an electronic
superposition is created: 1BX1 →aϕv’XXϕv+bϕv’BBϕv. Thus, at a
given delay, the electronic superposition to be prepared is controlled by the
phase of the vibrational packet. In effect, in single-color four-wave mixing, the
contributions from various diagrams can be controlled, P93)=aP(0,3)+bP(1,2), to drive
the system to the desired state. Indeed, these timing conditions have beenexperimentally verified in degenerate four-wave mixing studies on I
2.37,37,61,64
Similar controlled gates are possible between rotation-vibration, and
rotation-electronic qubits.72 Here, we are satisfied by indicating that the requisite
two-qubit CNOT gate and the one-qubit operations are naturally wired in
molecular four-wave mixing, sufficient to identify the potential of the system forquantum computing. A schematic of the general conceptual approach to usingthe present network for a single path in vibrational vector space is provided inFig. 17. In the example, a broad-band P-pulse resets the quantum register, astructured S-pulse writes, the P ’-pulse is used to process, and the output register
is read either in TIFRCARS mode, or in TGFCARS with heterodyne detectionusing the gate pulse (G-pulse) as local oscillator.28V. CONCLUSIONS
TFRCARS yields multi-dimensional images of molecular coherences, which we
have presented here as a set of three two-dimensional plots. The images of thevarious order molecular ro-vibrational coherences contain sufficient detail toallow an accurate characterization of the molecular Hamiltonian. Although it hasbeen previously demonstrated that time resolved measurements can providespectroscopic constants of high accuracy,
73 and the present method of extracting
two-dimensional images has the advantage of multiplexing, such an applicationto stable small molecules is of limited value. The unique advantage of themethod as a spectroscopic tool is in its ability to characterize transient spectra, ortransient species. This derives from the fact that the method permits transformlimited observation and interrogation of the conjugate time and frequencycoordinates. Consider the application of the method to image chemistry. Thesimplest example would be that of unimolecular dissociation. If the process isslower than the speed of the Kerr shutter in use, as in rotational predissociation,
74
then it should be possible to directly record the ro-vibrational tracks of thedissociating complex in third order-coherence using TGFCARS. An image,similar to that in Fig. 6 would now provide a map of the ro-vibrational channelsto bond-breaking. More generally, consider evolution along a reactive coordinateQ(t) that has been set in motion via a short optical pulse. Then the second-ordercoherence would image the evolution of frequencies orthogonal to Q, thestiffening or loosening of bonds due to chemistry (or any other change). If thepulses used are shorter than the time scale of evolution along Q, direct imagesare obtained. Otherwise, a deconvolution similar to that used in the frequencyresolved optical gating (FROG) to characterize laser pulses,
11 would be applied.
Indeed, the time gated photon echo measurements in the liquid phaseaccomplish these very aims, with evolution along the solvation coordinate beingthe target of interest.
39-42 The same principles applied to protein unfolding and
excitonic dynamics have been given recently.75,76
TFRCARS, or more generally four-wave mixing experiments, can be used
as a method for molecular coherence control. This concept is usually associatedwith the possibilities of controlled chemistry. In practice, such applications arelikely to be somewhat limited.
Time-frequency-resolved four-wave mixing using a molecule as mixer,
allows the preparation, manipulation, and readout of massive quantumsuperpositions with sufficient control to consider applications to quantumcomputing. Parallels can be drawn between this approach and NMR,
77 which is
the maturer field of coherence control.78 For example, the P(0,3) polarization can be
regarded as stimulated photon reverberations, in analogy with the NMR photonecho.
79 The optical four-wave mixing approach has important advantages with
regard to the manipulation and transfer of massive coherences, which is animportant step toward practice in quantum computation. Since the third-orderpolarization is the observable, the optical process does not require polarization of29the thermal initial ensemble, which is required in NMR and a major source of the
limitation to few qubits.80 The optical four-wave mixing method circumvents this,
since it allows the sequential manipulation of the initial coherence struck by thefirst pulse on a thermal background that does not interfere with the signal.Moreover, since the manipulations involve optical pulses, single operations canbe accomplished on fs-ps time scales. Given the Doppler control of decoherencein rarified media at room temperature, 10
3 – 104 operations can be completed
prior to loss of signal. Clearly a major challenge in the proposed approach is incascading, to enable multiple sequential operations. Note, at least in oracle typeapplications single qubit logic gates can be implemented with efficiency and
parallelism, and the required quantum CNOT gate can be readily implemented
in one step. Recognizing that the observable output in the four-wave mixingexperiment is a coherent radiation field, it is not too difficult to imaginesequential processing, or networking, by having the AS beam from one stage actas one of the input fields for a second stage. The considerations we havepresented, we believe, are sufficient to encourage a search for useful algorithmsthat naturally map on molecular networks.

71. The first stage of the circuit diagram in Fig. 15 has the structure of the two-
qubit quantum CNOT gate, which requires the flipping of the logical value
of a target qubit based on the logical state of the control qubit ( i.e., and XOR
between control and target). Thus, if we were to identify the control qubit as
|
ϕ>c ≡ |B,v ’,j-1> and the target qubit |ϕ>T ≡ |B,v ’,j+1>, then in the two-
level logic, under the Stokes-pulse arriving at t2, the output qubits consist of
|X,v ”,j; t2> = |ϕ>c ⊕ |ϕ>T and |X,v ”,j-2; t2> = |ϕ>T. The first of these
outputs changes state if the instantaneous value of the control qubit is “1”.
This CNOT gate would be universal if the input qubits were independently
prepared. As defined, the utility of this CNOT is limited because it operates
within a single time-circuit diagram.

Fig. 1: Diagrammatic representation of time-resolved CARS. Both time-circuit
and Feynman diagrams are illustrated for a non-overlapping sequence of P, S, P ’
pulses, with central frequency of the S-pulse chosen to be outside the absorption
spectrum of the B ←X transition, to ensure that only the P(0,3) component of the
third-order polarization is interrogated. In this dominant contribution, all three
pulses act on bra (ket) state while the ket (bra) state evolves field free. Note, forthe Feynman diagrams, we use the convention of Ref. 5, which is different thanthat of Ref. 4.
Fig. 2: Diagrammatic representation of electronically all-resonant CARS with
coincident Pump and Stokes pulses, P+S, followed by P ’. The first diagram is the
same as that of Fig. 1. To be resonant in all fields, the
ϕ(2)ˆ µ ϕ(1)≡P(2,1)
contribution can only be initiated from vibrationally excited states of the ground
electronic surface. The time-circuit diagrams make it clear that for this process to
have significant cross section, ωp-ωS ~kBT must hold.
Fig. 3: The wavepacket picture associated with the evolution of the ket-state in
the diagram of Fig. 1, for resonant CARS in iodine. The required energy
matching condition for the AS radiation, Eq. 10b of text, can only be met when
the packet reaches the inner turning point of the B-surface. Once prepared, ϕ(3)(t)
will oscillate, radiating periodically every time it reaches the inner turning point.
Fig. 4 : The “wiring ” diagram of rotational eigenstates for a given path – v, v ’, v”,
v’’’ – in vibrational state space.
a) Conventional diagram: The rotational selection rule, ∆j=±1 , limits the
possible paths. The dark solid lines connect the paths that lead to the
P-branch ( j-1→j) transition in the CARS spectrum. These are the only35relevant paths when the measurement involves TIFRCARS of the j-1→j
transition. The gray lines connect the path for the R-branch transition,
j+1→j. Interference occurs when two transitions terminate on one
eigenstate. Note also that the coherence transferred to <v’’’,j±3| is lost
from the detectable AS polarization.
b) Schematic diagram, useful for the interferometric analysis of the four-
wave mixing process. The diagram highlights the phases gained byevolution along different paths in ro-vibronic state space. Each innerloop is equivalent to a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, with nodescorresponding to a time at which the applied radiation field maystimulate interference between two paths.
Fig. 5: Experimental arrangement for TGFCARS. The sample consists of iodine
vapor contained in a quartz cell heated to 50 °C. The forward BOXCARS
geometry is used, with the three input beams brought to focus using a 25 cmachromatic doublet, and a pinhole to spatially filter the anti-Stokes radiation. The
AS beam is t-gated using a Kerr cell with CS
2 as active medium, then dispersed
through a 1/4-m monochromator, and detected using a CCD array. An
experimental spectral slice, at t = 2 ps, is shown in the inset.

arXiv:physics/0103001v1 [physics.class-ph] 1 Mar 2001About forces, acting on radiating charge

menia
Abstract. It is shown, that the force acting on a radiating charge is sti pulated by two rea-
sons - owing to exchange of a momentum between radiating char ge and electromagnetic field of
radiation, and also between a charge and field accompanying t he charge.
It is well known that the charged particle moving with accele ration radiates, and as a result
an additional force (apart from the external one, /vectorF0) - force of radiation reaction acts on it.
In present paper it is shown, that this force (we shall call it as a self-action force or simply
by self-action) is a sum of two parts: the first force is due to t he exchange of the momentum
between a particle and radiation fields, i.e. the fields, whic h go away to infinity. For the second
force in the exchange of a momentum the fields, accompanying a charge participate as well.
These fields do not go away to infinity, i.e. at infinity they hav e zero flux of energy (details see
below).
We shall start with the momentum conservation law for a syste m of charge and electromag-
netic field [1], [2]

where /vectorP- is the particle momentum, /vectorEand/vectorH- are the vectors for electromagnetic field, /vector n-
is the normal to the surface S, enclosing volume V. On the right of formula (1) the external
force /vectorF0is omitted. From (1) we can see, that apart from external forc e, two forces act on the
particle: force /vectorf1, expressed by a surface integral, and force /vectorf2expressed by a volume integral.
As a surface Swe shall take sphere of a large radius R→ ∞, with the centre at the point
of instantaneous place of the charge, then /vector n=/vectorR/R. For /vectorEand/vectorHwe shall use the known
expressions for the fields created by a charged particle movi ng with arbitrary velocity /vector v(t) [2],

hand side of equation (2) are taken at the moment t′=t−R(t′)/c.
Calculating the force /vectorf1we have to substitute in (1) the term with a lowest order of R−1
(the second term on the right in (2)), corresponding, to sphe rical electromagnetic fields going
away to infinity, i.e. radiation fields. Then, taking into acc ount the remark after formula (2), it
is possible to write the force /vectorf1in the form

The formula (3) allows the following clear interpretation o f the origin of the force /vectorf1: the
radiation in a direction /vector nper unit time carries away with itself momentum /vector ndIn/c, and therefore,
the charge acquires a momentum −/vector ndIn/c. As the change of a momentum per unit time is equal
to the acting force, then as a result of radiation in a directi on/vector nthe force will act on the particle,
equal to d/vectorf1=−/vector ndIn/c. Integrating over all directions (over total solid angle), we get the
expression for the force /vectorf1(details for calculation see in [4]):

HereI- is the instantaneous power of radiation, being a relativis tic invariant and having the

ds. (6)
In this formula uk=dxk/dsis the four-velocity and ds=cdt/gamma is the Minkowskian
interval (we follow the notations of the book [3]).
Now we turn to the force /vectorf2. Here it is necessary to take into account the contribution o f
both summands in formula (2). The calculations are too long a nd, as it is easy to see, lead to
integrals, divergent at both small and long distances. The l atters are related to the divergences
of the self-energy and momentum for the point charge field. To avoid these difficulties, we shall
act as follows. Let’s write a three-dimensional equation of motion d/vector p/dt =/vectorf=/vectorf1+/vectorf2in the
four-dimensional (covariant) form
dpi
dt=gi=gi

2, (7)
by entering the four-dimensional momentum pi=mcui= (γmc, /vector p ) and force gi=/parenleftBigγ
c/vectorf/vectorβ,γ/c /vectorf/parenrightBig
.
In formula (7) it is necessary to define gi
2. Taking into account (5) and 6, it is easy to see, that
gi
1has the form
gi
1=2e2
3cduk
dsduk
dsui. (8)
As it follows from the definition of the force /vectorf2and formula (2), where the vectors /vectorβand
˙/vectorβenter only, four-dimensional vector gi
2can be expressed through the vectors ui,dui/dsand
d2ui/ds2only. The first possibility disappears as for /vector v=const, should be gi
2= 0. The summand
containing dui/dsis united with a left-hand side of equation (7) and leads to th e renormalization
of the charged particle mass, so that it remains the possibil itygi
2=αd2ui/ds2, where α= 2e2/3c
is a number (four-dimensional scalar), which is determined from the requirement, that for an
arbitrary four-dimensional force gishould be giui= 0 (to see this it is necessary to use identity
uiui= 1 and its consequences as well). Hence
gi
2=2e2
3cd2ui
ds2. (9)
From (9) the expression for three-dimensional force /vectorf2follows which we give for the reference
purposes
/vectorf2=2e2

2The formulas (7), (8) and (9) lead to well-known expression ( see, for example, [3]) for the

.
In the nonrelativistic case ( β≪1), at first approximation over βfrom (10) we get the
following expression for the self-action force (by the way w e shall indicate, that there was an
error in the formula (6) in article [5])
/vectorf=2e2
3c2¨/vectorβ+2e2
c2/parenleftbigg
/vectorβ˙/vectorβ/parenrightbigg˙/vectorβ. (11)
This force differs from the conventional one /vectorf′=2e2
3c2··
/vectorβ, in which the essential defect is inherent:
for uniformly accelerated motion/parenleftbigg¨/vectorβ= 0/parenrightbigg
, the force of radiation reaction /vectorf′is zero, while the
radiation is not equal to zero/parenleftbigg˙/vectorβ/negationslash= 0/parenrightbigg
. The force (11) is deprived of this defect and always
is nonzero, if the radiation is nonzero/parenleftbigg˙/vectorβ/negationslash= 0/parenrightbigg
. If¨/vectorβ/negationslash= 0 and the first summand in the right
hand side of (11) dominates, then /vectorf=/vectorf′; depending on the law /vectorβ(t), the second summand can
dominate. Generally, for β≪1, for self-action force it is necessary to use the formula (1 1).
The above mentioned allows us to state that the total self-ac tion force acting on a radiating
charge is determined by formula (10) and it is more appropria te to call a reaction force of
radiation the force /vectorf1determined by formula (5). This force is always nonzero when the particle
moves with acceleration and hence radiates.
From this point of view let’s consider again uniformly accel erated motion (for arbitrary
velocities). It is known that the condition for uniformly ac celerated motion has the form [7]
d2ui
ds2+duk
dsduk
dsui= 0, (12)
(thence gi= 0) or in three-dimensional notations
¨/vectorβ+ 3γ2/parenleftbigg
/vectorβ˙/vectorβ/parenrightbigg˙/vectorβ= 0. (13)
As a result for this motion the vector /vectorAgoes to zero and this is the case for the self-action
force. However the radiation and radiation reaction force a re nonzero, because the acceleration
is nonzero. The latter can be easily obtained from the equati ond/vector p/dt =/vectorF0+/vectorfand is determined
by the formula

. (14)
In our case for /vectorβ||/vectorF0,/vectorF0=const, the acceleration is equal to
c˙/vectorβ=/vectorF0
mγ3. (15)
3Hence, for the uniformly accelerated motion the only force a cting on charge is the external force
/vectorF0(it can be easily checked that for the acceleration (15) the s elf-action force is zero). For
/vectorβ→1 the acceleration tends to zero, and in the case /vectorβ→0 the acceleration, as it is expected,
is equal to/vectorF0
m.

Abstract
This work is devoted to the thermodynamics of high-temperat ure dense hy-
drogen plasmas in the pressure region between 10−1and 102Mbar. In par-
ticular we present for this region results of extensive calc ulations based on
a recently developed path integral Monte Carlo scheme (dire ct PIMC). This
method allows for a correct treatment of the thermodynamic p roperties of
hot dense Coulomb systems. Calculations were performed in a broad region
of the nonideality parameter Γ /lessorsimilar3 and degeneracy parameter neΛ3/lessorsimilar10.
We give a comparison with a few available results from other p ath integral
calculations (restricted PIMC) and with analytical calcul ations based on Pad´ e
approximations for strongly ionized plasmas. Good agreeme nt between the
results obtained from the three independent methods is foun d.

1I. INTRODUCTION
The thermodynamics of strongly correlated Fermi systems at high pressures are of grow-
ing importance in many fields, including shock and laser plas mas, astrophysics, solids and
nuclear matter, see Refs. [1–4] for an overview. In particul ar the thermodynamical properties
of hot dense plasmas under high pressure are of importace for the description of plasmas
relevant for laser fusion [5]. Further among the phenomena o f current interest are Fermi
liquids, metallic hydrogen [6], plasma phase transition, e .g. [7] and references therein, bound
states etc., which occur in situations where both Coulomb andquantum effects are relevant.
There has been significant progress in recent years to study t hese systems analytically and
numerically, see e.g. [7–10,13–15]. Due to the enormeous di fficulties to develop analytical
descriptions for hydrogen plasmas with strong coupling, e. g. [1–3], there is still an urgent
need to test the analytical theory by an independent numeric al approach.
An approach which is particularly well suited to describe th ermodynamic properties
in the region of high pressure, characterized by strong coup ling and strong degeneracy,
is the path integral quantum Monte Carlo (PIMC) method. Ther e has been remarkable
recent progress in applying these techniques to Fermi syste ms, for an overview see e.g.
Refs. [1,2,16–18]. However, these simulations are essenti ally hampered by the fermion sign
problem. To overcome this difficulty, several strategies hav e been developed to simulate
macroscopic Coulomb systems [8,19,20]: the first is the rest ricted PIMC concept where
additional assumptions on the density operator ˆ ρare introduced which reduce the sum
over permutations to even (positive) contributions only. T his requires knowledge of the
nodes of the density matrix which is available only in a few sp ecial cases, e.g. [19,20].
However, for interacting macroscopic systems, these nodes are known only approximately,
e.g. [21], and the accuracy of the results is difficult to asses s from within this scheme. An
alternative are direct fermionic PIMC simulations which ha ve occasionally been attempted
by various groups [22] but which were not sufficiently precise and efficient for practical
purposes. Recently, three of us have proposed a new path inte gral representation for the N-
particle density operator [23,24] which allows for direct fermionic path integral Monte Carlo
simulations of dense plasmas in a broad range of densities an d temperatures. Using this
concept we computed the pressure and energy of a degenerate s trongly coupled hydrogen
plasma [24,26] and the pair distribution functions in the re gion of partial ionization and
dissociation [26,27]. This scheme is rather efficient when th e number of time slices (beads)
in the path integral is less or equal 50 and was found to work we ll for temperatures kBT/greaterorsimilar
0.1Ry. In this paper we derive further improved formulas for the pr essure and energy and
give, for the first time, a detailed derivation of all main res ults and rigorously justify the
use of the effective quantum pair potential (Kelbg potential ) in direct PIMC simulations.
Further, in the present work this method will be applied to hi gh-pressure plasmas ( p≃
10−1−102Mbar) in such temperature regions were considerable deviat ions from the ideal
behavior are observed.
One difficulty of PIMC simulations is that reliable error esti mates are often not available,
in particular for strongly coupled degenerate systems. Mor eover, in this region no reliable
data from other theories such as density functional theory o r quantum statistics, e.g. [3,15],
are available which would allow for an unambiguous test. Fur thermore, results from classi-
cal molecular dynamics simulations exist, but they apply on ly to fully ionized and weakly
2degenerate plasmas, e.g. [28–30], which is outside the rang e of interest for this work. Also,
new quantum molecular dynamics approaches are being develo ped, e.g. [10–12], but they
are only beginning to produce accurate results.
Therefore, it is of high interest to perform quantitative co mparisons of independent sim-
ulations, such as restricted and direct fermionic PIMC, and to develop improved analytical
approximations, which is the aim of this paper. We compare re cent results of Militzer et al.
[32] for pressure and energy isochors ( n∼2.5·1023cm−3) of dense hydrogen to our own direct
PIMC results. This is a non-trivial comparison since the two approaches employ indepen-
dent sets of approximations. Nevertheless, we find very good agreement for temperatures
ranging from 106Kto as low as 50 ,000K. This is remarkable since there the coupling and
degeneracy parameters reach rather large values, Γ ≈3 andneΛ3≈10, and the plasma
contains a substantial fraction of bound states.
Further, we use the new data to make a comparison with analyti cal estimates which
are based on Pad´ e approximations for strongly ionized plas mas. These formulae were con-
structed on the basis of the known analytical results for the limiting cases of low density
[3,33] and high density [3]. These Pad´ e approximations are exact up to quadratic terms in
the density and interpolate between the virial expansions a nd the high-density asymptotics
[34–36]. We find that the results for the internal energy and f or the pressure agree well
with the PIMC results in the region of the density temperatur e plane, where Γ /lessorsimilar1.6 and
nΛ3/lessorsimilar5.

of the density matrix S, whereas exchange effects are accounted for by the permutati on

the permutations with parity κP. In the fermionic case (minus sign), the sum contains
Ne!/2 positive and negative terms leading to the notorious sign p roblem. Due to the large
mass difference of electrons and ions, the exchange of the lat ter is not included. The matrix

To compute thermodynamic functions, the logarithm of the pa rtition function has to be
differentiated with respect to thermodynamic variables. In particular, for the equation of

βp=∂lnQ/∂V = [α/3V∂lnQ/∂α ]α=1, (4)
βE=−β∂lnQ/∂β, (5)
whereαis a length scaling parameter α=L/L 0. This means, in the path integral repre-
sentation (2), each high-temperature density matrix has to be differentiated in turn. For
example, the result for the energy will have the form

and, analogously for other thermodynamic functions.
There are two different approaches to evaluate this expressi on. One is to first choose
an approximation for the high-temperature density matrice sρ(i)and then to perform the
differentiation. The other way is to first differentiate the op erator expression for ρ(k)and
use an approximation for the matrix elements only in the final result. As we checked, the
second method is more accurate and will be used in the followi ng.
To evaluate the derivatives in Eq. (6), it is convenient to in droduce dimensionless in-

This way, the derivative of the density matrix has been calcu lated, and we turn to the next
point - to find approximations for the high-temperature dens ity matrix.
III. HIGH-TEMPERATURE ASYMPTOTICS OF THE DENSITY MATRIX IN
THE PATH INTEGRAL APPROACH. KELBG POTENTIAL
In this section we derive an approximation for the high-temp ature density matrix which
is suitable for direct PIMC simulations. Further, we demons trate that the proper choice
of the effective quantum pair potential is given by the Kelbg p otential. Following Refs.
[16,38,39], we derive a modified representation for the dens ity matrix. The mains steps are:
1. The N-particle density matrix is expanded in terms of 2-pa rticle, 3-particle etc. con-
tributions from which only the first, ρab, is retained [16,38,39];
2. In the high-temperature limit, ρabfactorizes into a kinetic ( ρ0) and an interaction term
(ρab
U),ρab≈ρ0ρab

where Φ ab(ra,r′
a,rb,r′
b) is the off-diagonal two-particle effective potential.
3. In the following, the off-diagonal matrix elements of the e ffective binary potentials
will be approximated by the diagonal ones by taking the Kelbg potential at the center
coordinate, Φab(r,r′; ∆β)≈Φab(r+r′
2; ∆β).;
4. For the plasma parameter region of interest, the protons c an be treated classically, and
Φiimay be approximated by the Coulomb potential.
We will now comment on these steps in some more detail. We calc ulated the effective
potential by solving a Bloch equation by first order perturba tion theory. The method has
been described in detail in [41]. This procedure defines an eff ective off-diagonal quantum
pair potential for Coulomb systems, which depends on the int er-particle distances rab,r′
ab.
As a result of first-order perturbation theory we get explici tely

the complicated integral over αby the length of the interval multiplied with the integrand i n
the center (Mittelwertsatz) leads us to the so-called KTR-p otential due to Klakow, Toepffer
and Reinhard which (in the diagonal approximation) is often used in quasi-classical MD
simulations [10,13]

In our direct PIMC calculations we used the full expression f or the interaction potential,
keeping the α-integration but, in order to save computer time, we approxi mated the two-
particle interaction potential by its diagonal elements. T he diagonal element ( r′

of Φabis just the familiar Kelbg potential, given by (we will use th e same notation for the
potential)

The error of the above approximations, for each of the high-t emperature factors on the r.h.s.
of Eq. (2), is of the order 1 /(n+ 1)2.
With these approximations, we obtain the result ρ(k)=ρ(k)

with respect to βof the Coulomb potentials which appear in Eq. (10). Indeed, p roducts
ρ(1)... ρ(n)ˆPρ(n+1)β∂∆β·Uc(X(k−1))
∂βhave a singularity at zero interparticle distance which is
integrable but leads to difficulties in the simulations. Due t o the Kelbg potential, for the e-e
and p-p interaction, this singularity is weakenend, but it i s enhanced for the e-p interaction.
In order to assure efficient simulations we, therefore, furth er transform the e-p contribution
in the following way:

This means, within the standard error of our approximation O[(∆β)2], we have replaced
the e-p Coulomb potential U(2)
cby the corresponding Kelbg potential U(2), which is much
better suited for MC simulations.
Thus, using λp≪λe, we finally obtain for the energy:

The structure of Eqs. (17, 20) is obvious: we have separated t he classical ideal gas part
(first term). The ideal quantum part in excess of the classica l one and the correlation
contributions are contained in the integral term, where the second line results from the ionic
correlations (first term) and the e-e and e-i interaction at t he first vertex (second and third
terms respectively). The third and fourth lines are due to th e further electronic vertices and
the explicit temperature dependence [in Eq. (17) and volume dependence in Eq. (20)] of the
exchange matrix, respectively. The main advantage of Eqs. ( 17, 20) is that the explicit sum
over permutations has been converted into the spin determin ant which can be computed
very efficiently using standard linear algebra methods. Furt hermore, each of the sums in
curly brackets in Eqs. (17, 20) is bounded as the number of ver tices increases, n→ ∞, and is
thus well suited for efficient Monte Carlo simulations. Notic e also that Eqs. (17, 20) contain
the important limit of an ideal quantum plasma in a natural wa y [42].
IV. COMPARISON OF DIRECT AND RESTRICTED PIMC SIMULATIONS
Expressions (17, 20) are well suited for numerical evaluati on using Monte Carlo tech-
niques, e.g. [16,17]. In our Monte Carlo scheme we used three types of steps, where either
electron or proton coordinates, riorqior inidividual electronic beads ξ(k)
iwere moved un-
til convergence of the calculated values was reached. Our pr ocedure has been extensively
tested. In particular, we found from comparison with the kno wn analytical expressions for
8pressure and energy of an ideal Fermi gas that the Fermi stati stics is very well reproduced
[26]. Further, we performed extensive tests for few–electr on systems in a harmonic trap
where, again, the analytically known limiting behavior (e. g. energies) is well reproduced
[43,44]. For the present simulations of dense hydrogen, we v aried both the particle number
and the number of time slices (beads). As a result of these tes ts, we found that to obtain
convergent results for the thermodynamic properties of den se hydrogen, particle numbers
Ne=Np= 50 and beads numbers in the range of n= 6...20 are adequate [24,26].

We will now compare our results with some available results o btained by the Monte
Carlo technique developed by the Urbana group [19,32]. We ma y first state that both
Monte Carlo techniques differ in several fundamental points , so that they are essentially
independent approaches. Let us briefly outline the main diffe rences between the technique
developed in Urbana, known as the restricted PIMC scheme [32] and references therein, and
the approach described here. These authors performed simul ations with 32 electrons and
protons; their restricted PIMC scheme required to use a rath er small time step assuring
1/∆β∼2∗106K. Also, the treatment of the interactions differs from our sch eme: the
authors of Ref. [32] perform a numerical solution of the Bloc h equation for the two-particle
density matrix whereas we use an analytical approximation f or the effective pair interaction
(based on the Kelbg potential, see above). Finally, Ref. [32 ] approximately computes the
nodal surface of the density matrix using a variational ansa tz which is then used to restrict
the integrations to the region of positive density matrix. F or more details regarding the
restricted PIMC simulations, see Refs. [19,32].

Γ and neΛ3are shown in the upper figure.
Let us now turn to a comparison of the numerical results. The r estricted PIMC simulation
data for dense hydrogen are taken from Ref. [32]. A compariso n of results for the pressure
and the internal energy for a fixed value of the density ( rs= 1.86) is shown in Fig. 1 and
TABLE I. At high temperatures, above 50,000 K, where only a sm all fraction of atoms is
expected, the agreement is rather good. This is remarkable s ince the nonideality and the
degeneracy reach values of 3 and 10, respectively. This resu lt demonstrates that, at least for
rs≃1 and forT≥50,000Kboth methods yield results which are more or less equivalent . At
T <50,000K, where partial ionization is expected, we still observe a re asonable agreement
of both approaches, however, we see also that the differences start to grow. The reasons for
that are manyfold. From our results we conclude that the main problem is not the bound
state formation - atoms and molecules are well described by t he two PIMC simulations
which use a physical picture which does not involve any artifi cial distinction between free
and bound electrons, e.g. [26]. On the other hand, with growi ng degeneracy nΛ3, both
PIMC methods become less reliable, and a detailed analysis, although being very desirable,
will have to be based on more extensive calculations in the fu ture.
11Further we present in TAB. I also Pad´ e results for the weakly nonideal region. We find
good agreement with the PIMC results for T > 105K. Details on the method of these
analytical calculations will be discussed in the next secti on.
V. COMPARISON WITH ANALYTICAL APPROXIMATIONS FOR THE
THERMODYNAMIC FUNCTIONS OF STRONGLY IONIZED DENSE PLASMAS
In this section we give a comparison of the available data poi nts from direct PIMC
calculations with analytical estimates based on Pad´ e appr oximations for strongly ionized
plasmas [3,34–36]. The comparison concentrates on H-plasm as in a region in the density-
temperature plane with the following borders
0.2≤Γ≤1.6,
0.2≤neΛ3
e≤5, (21)
which will be called “rhomb of moderate nonideality and mode rate degeneracy“ (see bold
rhomb in Fig. 1). With respect to analytical treatment, this rhombic region is of particular
difficulty since none of the known analytic limiting expressi ons is valid. Further we calculated
several points for rs= 1.86 and Γ /lessorsimilar2 which correspond to the PIMC data discussed in
the previous section and also an isotherm at T= 50,000Kincluding some data at higher
density, outside the rhomb, cf. Fig. 1 for an overviev.
We demonstrate below that the Pad´ e approximations which in terpolate between the
limits where theoretical results are available are a useful tool for the description of the
available data points, at least for the case of moderate noni deality Γ /lessorsimilar1.6 and moderate
degeneracy neΛ3/lessorsimilar5. The Pad´ e approximations which we use here were construct ed in
earlier work, [34–36], from the known analytical results fo r limiting cases of low density
[3,33] and high density [3]. The structure of the Pad´ e appro ximations was devised in such
a way that they are analytically exact up to quadratic terms i n the density (up to the
second virial coefficient) and interpolate between the viria l expansions and the high-density
asymptotic expressions [34–36]. The formation of bound sta tes was taken into account by
using a chemical picture. This means the plasma is considere d as a mixture of free electrons,
free ions, atoms and molecules which are in chemical equilib rium, being described by mass
action laws or minimization of the free energy [36].
We follow in large here this cited work, only the contributio n of the ion-ion interaction
which is, in most cases, the largest one, was substantially i mproved following recent work of
Kahlbaum, who succeeded in describing the available classi cal Monte Carlo data for the ions
by accurate Pad´ e approximations [46]. By using Kahlbaum’s formulas we achieve a rather
accurate description of the thermodynamics in the region wh ere the plasma behaves like a
classical one-component ion plasma imbedded into a sea of ne arly ideal electrons. This is
the region where the electrons are strongly degenerate
neΛ3
e≫1 andrs≪1, (22)
and the ions are still classical but nonideal
Γ≫1 andniΛ3
i≪1. (23)
12This region lies in the upper left corner of Fig. 1.
With respect to the chemical picture we restrict ourselves t o the region of strong ioniza-
tion where the number of atoms is still relatively low and whe re the fraction of molecules
is small as well, see below. We will discuss here only the gene ral structure of the Pad´ e
formulae. For example, the internal energy density of the pl asma is given by
u=uid+uint. (24)
Hereuidis the internal energy of an ideal plasma consisting of Fermi electrons, classical
protons and classical atoms, and uintis the interaction energy
uint=uii+uee+uie+uvdW. (25)
The interaction contribution to the internal energy consis ts of four terms:
•Ion-ion interaction contribution: this term which, in gene ral, yields the largest con-
tribution is generated by the OCP subsystem of the protons. F or the OCP energy of
protons many expressions are available, e.g. [45]. We have u sed here the most precise
formula due to Kahlbaum [46] which interpolates between the Debye region, uii∼Γ3/2,
and the high density fluid, uii∼Γ.
•Electron-electron interaction: This term corresponds to t he OCP energy of the electron
subsystem. We used the rather simple expressions used in ear lier work [34,35].
•Electron-proton interaction: This term corresponds to the interaction between the two
OCP subsystems which is mostly due to polarization effects. A gain, we used the rather
simple expressions proposed in earlier work [34,35].
•Van der Waals contribution: In the region of densities and te mperatures defined above
this contribution gives only a small correction. Therefore , this term was approximated
here in the simplest way by a second virial contribution. The neutral particles were
treated as hard spheres.
In the region of densities which are studied here, molecules do not play a role, therefore,
the formation of molecules was taken into account only in a ve ry rough approximation
according to Ref. [34]. The number density of the neutrals wa s calculated on the basis of a
nonideal Saha equation. We restricted this comparison to a r egion where the number density
of neutrals is relatively small, the degree of ionization be ing larger than 75%.
The contributions to the pressure were calculated, in part, from scaling relations e.g. we
usedpii=uii/3, and, for the other (smaller) contributions, by numerical differentiation of
the free energy given earlier [34,35]. In a similar way, the c hemical potential which appears
in the nonideal Saha equation was obtained. For the partitio n function in the Saha equation
we used the Brillouin-Planck-Larkin expression [3,36]. Th e solution of the nonideal Saha
equation which determines the degree of ionization (the den sity of the atoms) was solved by
up to 100 iterations starting from the ideal Saha equation.

Since all the expression described so far are given in analyt ic form, the calculation of
about 1000 data points for energy and pressure takes less tha n a minute on a PC. The result
of our calculations for density-temperature points in the “ rhomb of moderate nonideality
and moderate degeneracy” are given in Figs. 2,3. Further, we give in TAB. I several data
points obtained from the Pad´ e formulas. Since the Pad´ e for mulas used here do not apply to
low temperatures, we included in TAB. I only Pad´ e data for T >105K.

Summarizing the results for the internal energy and for the p ressure we find that the Pad´ e
results, with a few exceptions, agree well with the PIMC data in the region of the density
temperature plane, where Γ ≤1.6 andnΛ3≤5. The agreement is particularly good for the
energies. [The larger deviations for the pressure may be due to the numerical differentiation.]
In fact, the Pad´ e formulas used here in combination with the chemical picture works only
in the case that the plasma is strongly ionized, i.e. the degr ee of ionization is larger than
75%. The description of the region where a higher percentage of atoms and, due to this,
also molecules is present needs a more refined chemical pictu re [7,47,48].

Finally, we compare the Pad´ e and PIMC data along the isother mT= 50,000Kwhich
is given in Fig. 5. This figure shows the transition from a clas sical ideal gas (low density)
to a nearly ideal quantum gas (limit of high density). In the c entral part, n/lessorsimilar1019cm−3/lessorsimilar
1025cm−3, Coulomb interaction leads to strong deviations from the be havior of an ideal
plasma. The strong increase of the energy at high density is d ue to the Mott effect and to
the increase of the ideal quantum contribution to the electr on energy. Comparing the Pad´ e
and PIMC results, we find good agreement up to electron densit iesn= 1022cm3. For higher
densities, the deviations are growing. For intermediate de nsities,n/lessorsimilar1022cm−3/lessorsimilar1024cm−3
the PIMC data are more reliable. On the other hand, in the limi t of very high density, rs≪1,
16the Pad´ e results are known to correctly approach the ideal q uantum plasma limit whereas the
PIMC data should be regarded as preliminary due to the extrem ely high electron degeneracy.
Interestingly, we find that at high density the Pad´ e data app roaches the ideal curves earlier
than the PIMC data which is important for further improvemen t of the presented Monte
Carlo approach.
VI. DISCUSSION
This work is devoted to the investigation of the thermodynam ic properties of hot dense
partially ionized plasmas in the pressure range between 0.1 and 100 Mbar. Most of the new
results are based on a Quantum Monte Carlo study of a correlat ed proton-electron system
with degenerate electrons and classical protons. In this pa per, we gave a detailed derivation
of improved estimators for the internal energy and the equat ion of state for use in direct
fermionic path integral simulations. Also, we gave a rigoro us justification for the use of an
effective quantum pair potential (Kelbg potential) in PIMC s imulations.
Further, we compared our direct PIMC results with independe nt restricted PIMC data
of Militzer and Ceperley for one isochor corresponding to rs= 1.86, Fig. 2. We found very
good quantitative agreement between the two PIMC methods fo r temperatures in the range
of 50,000K≤T≤106K, where Γ /lessorsimilar3 andneΛ3
e/lessorsimilar10. This region is particularly com-
plicated as here pressure and temperature ionization occur and, therefore, an accurate and
consistent treatment of scattering and bound states is cruc ial. This agreement is remarkable
because the two simulation methods are completely independ ent and use essentially different
approximations. We, therefore, expect that the results for the thermodynamic properties
of high pressure hydrogen plasmas in this temperature-dens ity range are reliable within the
limits of the simulation accuracy. This is the main result of the present paper.
In future work, it will be important to extend the range of agr eement. To analyze
the deviations between the simulation methods, we also incl uded some data for rs= 1.86
and lower temperatures, 10 ,000K≤T≤50,000K, Fig. 2. At this point, no conclusive
answer about the reasons of the deviations can be given. For t hese parameters, the electron
degeneracy is growing rapidly and, therefore, each of the si mulation methods is becoming
less reliable. So these data should be regarded as prelimina ry results which will be useful
for future improvements of the simulations.
Furthermore, the Monte Carlo results allowed us to develop a nd test analytical approxi-
mations of Pad´ e-type which are improvements of earlier app roximations [3,34–36] in a region
in the density-temperature plane bounded by Γ ≤1.6 andneΛ3
e≤5. This is a region of
moderate nonideality and degeneracy and high degree of ioni zation . We have shown that for
these parameters, the Pad´ e approximations which interpol ate between the limits where the-
oretical results are available agree well with the Monte Car lo data, cf. Figs. 2-4 and Table I.
Thus, these approximations provide a useful tool for the des cription of these plasmas which
include hydrogen at a pressur between 0.1 and 100 Mbar. At low er temperature, deviations
from the Monte Carlo data are growing, cf. Fig. 2. This is most ly due to the growing
role of bound states. Whether the Pad´ e approximations, in c ombination with an improved
chemical picture (mass action law), continue to work at lowe r temperatures, has still to be
explored, first steps are under way [48].
17Also, we showed some data for T= 50,000Kand higher pressure, up to p∼106Mbar,
Fig. 5. Here the Monte Carlo simulations are particularly di fficult due to the high electron
degeneracy, and they can benefit from the Pade simulations, a s the latter correctly reproduce
the high-density limit, rs≪1.

Abstract
A partial differential eigenvalue equation for the density d isplacement fields
associated with electronic resonances is derived in the fra mework of density
functional theory. Our quantum fluid-dynamical approach is based on a varia-
tional principle and the Kohn-Sham ground-state energy fun ctional. It allows
for an intuitive interpretation of electronic excitations in terms of intrinsic lo-
cal currents that obey a continuity equation. We demonstrat e the capabilities
of our approach by calculating the photoabsorption spectra of small sodium
clusters. The quantitative agreement between theoretical and experimental
spectra shows that even for the smallest clusters, the reson ances observed
experimentally at low temperatures can be interpreted in te rms of density
vibrations.

1I. INTRODUCTION
Since its formal foundation as a theory of ground-state prop erties [1], density functional
theory has developed into one of the most successful methods of modern many-body theory,
today also with well-established extensions such as, e.g., time-dependent [2] and current [3,4]
density-functional theory (DFT). In particular in the field of metal cluster physics, DFT
calculations have contributed substantially to a qualitat ive and quantitative description of
both ground and excited state properties [5,6]. Understand ing the properties of small metal
particles in turn offers technological opportunities, e.g. , to better control catalysis [7], as
well as fundamental insights into how matter grows [8,9]. Si nce the electronic and geometric
structure of metal particles consisting of only a few atoms s till cannot be measured directly,
photoabsorption spectra are their most accurate probes. Es pecially the spectra of charged
sodium clusters have been measured with high accuracy for a b road range of cluster sizes
and temperatures [10]. A distinct feature of these spectra i s that at elevated temperatures of
several hundred K, in particular for the larger clusters, on ly a few broad peaks are observed,
whereas at lower temperatures (100 K and less), a greater num ber of sharp lines can be
resolved for clusters with only a few atoms. The peaks observ ed in the high-temperature
experiments found an early and intuitive explanation as col lective excitations in analogy
to the bulk plasmon and the giant resonances in nuclei: differ ent peaks in the spectrum
were understood as belonging to the different spatial direct ions of the collective motion of
the valence electrons with respect to the inert ionic backgr ound. On the other hand, the
sharp lines observed in the low-temperature experiments we re interpreted as a hallmark of
the molecule-like properties of the small clusters explica ble, in the language of quantum
chemistry [11], only in terms of transitions between molecu lar states.
In this work we present a density functional approach to the c alculation of excitations
that leads us to a unified and transparent physical understan ding of the photoabsorption
spectra of sodium clusters. We first derive a general variati onal principle for the energy
spectrum of an interacting many-body system. From this, we d erive an approximate solution
2in the form of quantum fluid-dynamical differential equation s for the density displacement
fields associated with the electronic vibrations around the ir ground state. By solving these
equations, we obtain the eigenmodes within the DFT; hereby o nly the ground-state energy
functional and the occupied Kohn-Sham orbitals are require d. We demonstrate the accuracy
of our approach by calculating the photoabsorption spectra of small sodium clusters and
comparing our results to low-temperature experiments and t o configuration-interaction (CI)
calculations. In this way we can show that also the spectra of the smallest clusters can be
understood, without knowledge of the molecular many-body w avefunction, in an intuitive
picture of oscillations of the valence-electron density ag ainst the ionic background.
II. A VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE
Starting point for the derivation of the variational princi ple is the well-known fact that
for a many-body system described by a Hamiltonian Hwith ground state |0∝an}b∇acket∇i}htand energy E0,
the creation and annihilation operators of all the eigensta tes obey the so-called equations of
motion for excitation operators [12]
∝an}b∇acketle{t0|Oν[H,O†
ν]|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht=/planckover2pi1ων∝an}b∇acketle{t0|OνO†
ν|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht (1)
∝an}b∇acketle{t0|Oν[H,Oν]|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht=/planckover2pi1ων∝an}b∇acketle{t0|OνOν|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0, (2)
where OνandO†
νare defined by
O†
ν|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht=|ν∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht,Oν|ν∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht=|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht,and Oν|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0. (3)
Of course, the exact solution of these equations are in gener al unknown. But a variety of
approximations to the true excited states can be derived fro m them, e.g., the Tam-Dancoff
scheme and the small amplitude limit of time-dependent Hart ree-Fock theory (RPA). As
discussed in [12], also higher-order approximations can be obtained.
Related to these equations, we derive the following variati onal principle: solving the
equations (1) and (2) for the lowest excited state is equival ent to solving the variational
equation
3δE3[Q]
δQ= 0, (4)
whereE3is defined by
E3[Q] =/radicalBigg
m3[Q]
m1[Q], (5)
andm1andm3are the multiple commutators
m1[Q] =1
2∝an}b∇acketle{t0|[Q,[H,Q]]|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht (6)
m3[Q] =1
2∝an}b∇acketle{t0|[[H,Q],[[H,Q],H]]|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht. (7)
HerebyQis some general Hermitean operator that, as will be shown in t he course of the
argument [see Eq. (15) below], can be interpreted as a genera lized coordinate. The minimum
energyE3after the variation gives the first excitation energy /planckover2pi1ω1. The second excitation
with energy /planckover2pi1ω2can be obtained from variation in an operator space which has been or-
thogonalized to the minimum Q, and in this way the whole spectrum /planckover2pi1ωνcan be calculated.
The variation δQof an operator can be understood as a variation of the matrix e lements
of the operator in the matrix mechanics picture. Therefore,

and noting that the first factors in the expression to the righ t are just 1/(2E3),

m1[Q]δm3[Q]
δQ−m3[Q]

δQ(9)
is obtained. With the definition E3=/planckover2pi1ω1, Eq. (9) turns into
δm3[Q]
δQ−(/planckover2pi1ω1)2δm1[Q]
δQ= 0. (10)
The variations
δm3[Q] =m3[Q+δQ]−m3[Q]
δm1[Q] =m1[Q+δQ]−m1[Q] (11)
4are evaluated by straightforward application of the commut ation rules (6) and (7), leading
to
∝an}b∇acketle{t0|[ [δQ,H ],/parenleftbig
[H,[H,Q]]−(/planckover2pi1ω1)2Q/parenrightbig
]|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0. (12)
WithδQHermitean, [ δQ,H ] is anti-Hermitean, and (12) therefore is an equation of the form
c+c∗= 0 with
c=∝an}b∇acketle{t0|[δQ,H ]/parenleftbig
[H,[H,Q]]−(/planckover2pi1ω1)2Q/parenrightbig
|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht ∈C. (13)
Since |0∝an}b∇acket∇i}htby definition is the exact ground state of H, and (13) must hold for any δQ, the
equation
/parenleftbig
[H,[H,Q]]−(/planckover2pi1ω1)2Q/parenrightbig
|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0 (14)
is obtained. It resembles the equation of motion for a harmon ic oscillator. Therefore, Qis
interpreted as a generalized coordinate, and in analogy to t he well-known algebraic way of
solving the harmonic oscillator problem, Qis written as a linear combination
Q∝ O†
1+O1 (15)
of the creation and annihilation operator for the first excit ed state. Inserting (15) into (14)
leads to the two equations
[H,[H,O†
1]]|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht= (/planckover2pi1ω1)2O†
1|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht (16)
[H,[H,O1]]|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht= (/planckover2pi1ω1)2O1|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0. (17)
First consider (16). After closing with state ∝an}b∇acketle{t1|, one exploits that, by definition, |0∝an}b∇acket∇i}htand|1∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht
are eigenstates of Hand evaluates the outer commutator by letting Hact once to the left
and once to the right. Recalling that ∝an}b∇acketle{t1|=∝an}b∇acketle{t0|O1, one finally obtains
∝an}b∇acketle{t0|O1[H,O†
1]|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht=/planckover2pi1ω1∝an}b∇acketle{t0|O1O†
1|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht. (18)
This is exactly equation (1) for the first excited state. In th e same way, (2) is obtained from
(17), which completes the derivation of the variational pri nciple.
5We would like to point out that in earlier work [13], the RPA eq uations have been derived
with a related technique that made use of both generalized co ordinate and momentum
operators. The advantage of our present derivation is that – although within linear response
theory – it goes beyond RPA and, due to the formulation in term s of a generalized coordinate
only, is particularly suitable for the formulation of the va riational principle in the framework
of density functional theory as shown below.
III. QUANTUM FLUID DYNAMICS FROM THE GROUND-STATE ENERGY
FUNCTIONAL: A LOCAL CURRENT APPROXIMATION
In principle, the exact eigenenergies are defined via Eqs. (1 ), (2) by the variational
equation (4), provided that the operator Qis chosen in a sufficiently general form. However,
just as in the equations of motion technique, one is forced to make some explicit ansatz for
the form of Q, which necessarily introduces approximations. In Ref. [13 ] it was shown that
ifQis taken to be a one-particle-one-hole excitation operator , Eq. (4) leads to the RPA
equations. Simplifications of the RPA, in which Qwas chosen from restricted sets of local
operatorsQn(r), were proposed in connection with both semiclassical [14] and Kohn-Sham
density functionals [13]. In the present paper, we derive a s et of quantum fluid-dynamical
equations from the variational principle (4) by choosing Qto a general local operator Q(r).
These equations are then solved without any restriction oth er than Eq. (23) below.
First we recall a relation that is well known in nuclear physi cs [15]: the commutator of
Eq. (7) can be exactly obtained from
m3[Q] =1
2∂2
∂α2∝an}b∇acketle{tα|H|α∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle
α=0, (19)
whereSis the so called scaling operator defined by
S= [H,Q] (20)
and|α∝an}b∇acket∇i}htthe state that results from the unitary transformation
6|α∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht=e−αS|0∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht, (21)
withαbeing a real and possibly time-dependent parameter. Assumi ng thatQis just a
function of rand that the potentials in Hdo not contain derivatives with respect to r, as is
the case for Coulombic systems, Eq. (20) is easily evaluated :
S=Ne/summationdisplay
i=1s(ri) =Ne/summationdisplay
i=11
2(∇iu(ri)) +u(ri)· ∇i. (22)
Here, the displacement field
u(r) =−/planckover2pi12
m∇Q(r) (23)
has been introduced, and Neis the number of electrons.
These equations can be related to DFT by noting that, first, we can introduce a set of
single particle orbitals {ψµ(ri)}, and from the scaled single particle orbitals, a scaled sing le
particle density can be constructed via
n(r,α) =Ne/summationdisplay
µ=1/vextendsingle/vextendsinglee−αs(r)ψµ(r)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle2=e−αSnn(r), (24)
with a density scaling operator
Sn=/parenleftBig
∇u(r)/parenrightBig
+u(r)· ∇. (25)
Second, Eq. (6) can straightforwardly be evaluated for a loc alQ(r),
m1[Q] =m
2/planckover2pi12/integraldisplay
u(r)·u(r)n(r) d3r, (26)
showing that m1depends only on nanduand is similar to a fluid-dynamical inertial
parameter. And third, we replace the expectation value in Eq . (19) by
m3[Q] =1

∂α2∝an}b∇acketle{tα|H|α∝an}b∇acket∇i}ht/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle

n(r)Vion(r;{R}) d3r.(28)
7Eq. (26) is exact and also Eq. (24) can be verified order by orde r, but Eq. (27) goes beyond
the safe grounds on which the energy functional is defined. Ho wever, the replacement of
an energy expectation value by the energy functional is intu itively very plausible, and its
practical validity can be judged a posteriori by the results. A further strong argument for
why really the density should be the basic variable can be mad e by calculating the derivative
with respect to time of the scaled density, using Eqs. (24) an d (25),
d
dtn(r,α(t)) =−Sn˙α(t)n(r,α(t)) =−∇[ ˙α(t)u(r)n(r,α(t))], (29)
where for the sake of clarity we now explicitly wrote the time dependence of α. Since
j(r,t) = ˙α(t)u(r)n(r,α(t)), (30)
is a current density, Eq. (29) is just the continuity equatio n dn(r,α(t))/dt +∇j(r,t) = 0.
Thus, the variational principle Eq. (4) with a local functio nQ(r) describes excitations by
intrinsic local currents. The time dependence of the parame terαis obviously harmonic, i.e.,
α(t)∝cos(ωνt), since the present derivation is based on linear response t heory.
The physical significance of the variational approach now be ing clear, it remains to derive
the actual equations that determine the displacement fields u(r) and the energies /planckover2pi1ωthat
are associated with particular excitations. Starting from Eq. (10) and using an explicit
notation,
δm3[u[Q(r)]]

9where we used the shorthand notation ∂1=∂/∂x etc., and indicated the terms to which
derivatives refer by including them in parenthesis. The usu al Kohn-Sham and exchange-
correlation potential are denoted by vKSandvxc, respectively.
Eqs. (34) – (40) are our quantum fluid-dynamical equations. I n analogy to the local
density approximation (LDA) used for vxc, we term our scheme the local current approxi-
mation (LCA) to the dynamics, due to the use of a local function Q(r) in the variational
principle (4). It should be noted that the above equations di ffer from the equations derived
earlier in a semiclassical approximation [14] or by explici t particle-hole averaging [13]. Due
to the fact that our approach is completely based on the Kohn- Sham density functional and
therefore contains the full quantum-mechanical shell effec ts in the ground-state density, it is
also different from some fluid-dynamical approaches develop ed in nuclear physics [16] (and
used in cluster physics [17]) which involved either schemat ic liquid-drop model densities or
semiclassical densities derived from an extended Thomas-F ermi model.
Although Eqs. (34) – (40) look rather formidable, they can be solved numerically with
reasonable computational effort, and we have done so for the s odium clusters Na 2and Na+
5.
The Kohn-Sham equations were solved basis-set free on a thre e-dimensional Cartesian real-
space grid using the damped gradient iteration with multigr id relaxation [18]. The ionic
coordinates were obtained by minimizing the total energy us ing a smooth-core pseudopo-
tential [9]. For Exc, we employed the LDA functional of Ref. [19]. The uj(r) were expanded
in harmonic oscillator wavefunctions and we explicitly enf orced Eq. (23). The convergence
rate of the expansion can be improved by adding a few polynomi al functions to the basis.
By multiplying Eqs. (32) and subsequently (34)–(40) from th e left with uand integrating
over all space, a matrix equation for the expansion coefficien ts is obtained which can be
solved using library routines. The square roots of the eigen values then give the excitation
energies and from the eigenvectors, the oscillator strengt hs can be computed.
Fig. 1 shows the experimental photoabsorption spectrum [20 ] of Na 2in the upper left
picture (adapted from Ref. [6]), and below the spectrum obta ined in the just described LCA.
We introduced a phenomenological line broadening in the LCA results to guide the eye. The
10LCA correctly reproduces the electronic transitions, desp ite the fact that only two electrons
are involved. Due to Eq. (29), one can very easily visualize h ow the electrons move in a
particular excitation by plotting the corresponding ∇j(r), giving a “snapshot” picture of
dn/dt. For the two main excitations, a crossection of this quant ity along the symmetry axis
(zaxis) is shown in the lower left and upper right contourplots , and the ground-state valence
electron density is shown in the lower right for reference. I n the plots of dn /dt, shadings
darker than the background grey indicate a density increase , lighter shadings indicate a
decrease. It becomes clear that the lower excitation corres ponds to a density oscillation
along thezaxis whereas the higher excitation corresponds to two energ etically degenerate
oscillations perpendicular to the symmetry axis. (For the s ake of clarity, we plotted the
corresponding oscillator strengths on top of each other in t he photoabsorption spectrum.)
This is exactly what one would have expected intuitively. Bu t the plots reveal that besides
the expected general charge transfer from one end of the clus ter to the other, the presence
of the ionic cores hinders the valence electrons to be shifte d freely, creating a density shift
of reverse sign in between the ionic cores.
Fig. 2 shows the ionic ground-state configuration of Na+
5with our labeling of axes in the
upper left, the experimental low-temperature ( ≈100 K) photoabsorption spectrum [10] in
the upper right, the LCA photoabsorption spectrum in the low er left, and the CI spectrum
adapted from Ref. [11] in the lower right. Again, a phenomeno logical line broadening was
introduced in the presentation of both the LCA and the CI resu lts. The LCA spectrum
again is in close agreement with the experimentally observe d spectrum, showing three intense
transitions. With our choice of the coordinate system, the l owest excitation corresponds to
a density oscillation in zdirection, whereas the two higher excitations oscillate in bothx
andydirections. In the interpretation of the LCA results, it mus t be kept in mind that due
to our finite grid spacing the numerical accuracy for the exci tation energies is about 0.03 eV,
which is absolutely sufficient in the light of the physical app roximations that we are making.
But due to this finite numerical resolution and the fact that w e evaluate each direction of
oscillation separately, the xandycomponents of the excitations at 2.7 eV and 3.4 eV, which
11really should be degenerate for symmetry reasons, appear as extremely close-lying double
lines. However, since the symmetry of the cluster was in no wa y an input to our calculation,
it is a reassuring test that the LCA, indeed, fulfills the symm etry requirement within the
numerical accuracy. Furthermore, it is reassuring to see th at with respect to the relative
heights of the peaks the LCA is very close to the CI results, wi th differences observed only in
the small subpeaks that are not seen experimentally anyway. And small differences to the CI
calculation are already to be expected simply because of the use of different pseudopotentials
and the resulting small differences in the ionic ground-stat e structure.
IV. CONCLUSION
In summary, we have derived a set of quantum fluid-dynamical e quations from a general
variational principle for the excitations of a many-body sy stem. The equations describe
here the eigenmodes of the system’s (valence) electrons and require only the knowledge of
the occupied ground-state Kohn-Sham orbitals. From these e quations, we have computed
the photoabsorption spectra for small sodium clusters and fi nd quantitative agreement with
the experimentally observed peak positions. Thus, even low -temperature photoabsorption
spectra can be understood in an intuitive picture of density oscillations, without knowledge
of the true (or any approximate) many-body wavefunction.

Abstract
In this paper we present studies of the I-V characteristics of CdZnTe detectors with Pt contacts fabricated from high-
resistivity single crystals grown by the high-pressure Brigman process. We have analyzed the experimental I-V curves using a
model that approximates the CZT detector as a system consisting of a reversed Schottky contact in series with the bulkresistance. Least square fits to the experimental data yield 0.78-0.79 eV for the Pt-CZT Schottky barrier height, and <20 Vfor the voltage required to deplete a 2 mm thick CZT detector. We demonstrate that at high bias the thermionic current overthe Schottky barrier, the height of which is reduced due to an interfacial layer between the contact and CZT material, controlsthe leakage current of the detectors. In many cases the dark current is not determined by the resistivity of the bulk material,
but rather the properties of the contacts; namely by the interfacial layer between the contact and CZT material.
Keywords : X-ray astrophysics, CdZnTe pixel detectors, I-V curve measurements
1. Introduction
The dark current is a critical parameter that for many configurations can be the primary factor limiting the energy
resolution of CdZnTe (CZT) detectors. In the course of developing a focal plane detector for the balloon-borne High-EnergyFocusing Telescope (HEFT) [1], we carried out routine measurements of the dark current characteristics for a large number
of CZT pixel detectors of a specific pixel contact design. Our detector anode pattern includes very thin strips (a grid) betwee n
the pixel contacts, held at a small negative potential. The real purpose of this biased grid is to enhance the charge collectio n
near the surface between pixel contacts. However, for the dark current measurements we can ground the grid, so that it servesas a guard ring to eliminate surface leakage currents, allowing accurate measurement of both surface and bulk leakage.
We tested a large number of CZT detectors, measuring the surface and bulk I-V curves over a wide voltage range.
We found large variations in the shapes and nominal surface dark currents for different detectors, as well as for different
pixels of the same detector. This is the case even for detectors where the specific bulk resistivity, as defined by
approximating I-V curves to Ohm’s law at very low bias, <0.5 V, varies only by 20-40%. In some detectors, the measured I-V
characteristics also resemble a simple Ohm’s law at higher bias. The specific resistivity, evaluated by fitting the data from a
high voltage region, significantly exceeds the upper limit established for the CZT material used in these measurements,~5x10
10 Ohm-cm at 26 C [2].
To understand these experimental leakage current measurements, we modeled the CZT detector as a metal-
semiconductor-metal (MSM) system with two back-to-back Schottky barriers. Two simplified treatments have beenpreviously applied to such a system: Sze et al. [3] used the thermionic-limited approximation of the Schottky barrier, andCisneros et al. [4] treated the barrier in the diffusion-limited approximation. Neither of these approaches could explain ourdark current measurements. In our previous work [5] we briefly pointed out that the experimentally measured currents wereconsiderably smaller than the saturation thermionic current expected for the Pt-CZT, and the measured I-V curves differed in
shape from the diffusion-limited current expected for two back-to-back Schottky barriers.
Although the models described above are over-simplified, we also cannot explain our I-V curve measurements over
the full voltage range even with a more general treatment of an MSM system. Crowell and Sze [6] demonstrated that thethermionic- and diffusion-limited models are not independent, but are in fact limiting cases of a more general thermionic-diffusion theory. Using this theory we can reproduce the measured I-V curves at a low voltages (in some cases up to 100 V),
but at high voltages the measured current increases much faster than predicted by the theory. One might expect that the
discrepancy could be explained by tunneling across the interface (normally the dominant current in highly doped
* Correspondence: Email: bolotnik@srl.caltech.edu; Telephone: 626-395-4488semiconductors at low temperatures). For this to be the case, our measurements show that tunneling would have to start tocontribute at ~50 V (for a 2 mm thick detector). At this low voltage, the total current across the CZT is much less than theexpected saturation thermionic current (see Eq. (21) and discussion below). The tunneling component should, however,become important at much higher biases, where the thermionic emission component is close to its saturation limit (~500 V).
We find that to explain the shape of our I-V curves, we must assume the existence of a very thin (10-100 nm)
insulating layer (residual oxide layer) between the contact and the semiconductor material, which could be formed before orafter metal contacts are deposited [7-12]. To include the effects of an interfacial layer in the Schottky barrier model, Wu [14 ]
developed a combined interfacial layer-thermionic-diffusion (ITD) model. We show that adopting this ITD model allows usto accurately fit the experimental data without considering any other possible current components (such as tunneling, orgeneration recombination currents). We demonstrate that by taking into account the interfacial layer we can explain the fullvariety of measured I-V curves, and by fitting the data we can obtain for each detector a consistent set of parameters that
characterize the Schottky barrier and CZT material.2. Theoretical background and fitting algorithm
This section briefly describes the theoretical model of the Schottky barrier with a thin interfacial layer, as applied to
the MSM system, which we employ in our analysis. For details we refer to the original work by Sze et al. [3], Sze [15],Cisneros et al. [4], Wu [14], and Cohen et al. [16]. From the mathematical point of view a Pt-CZT-Pt MSM system is rathercomplicated. Fortunately, because of the high bulk resistivity of semi-insulating material such as CZT, we can make somesimplifications. The series resistance of the undepleted bulk material is much higher than the resistance of the forward-biasedSchottky barrier at the anode, and the width of its depleted layer is much smaller than the total thickness of the CZT crystal.We can therefore neglect the effect of the anode contact. This simplification allows us to treat a CZT detector as a metal-
semiconductor system consisting of a reversed-biased Schottky barrier at the cathode coupled to the series resistance of thebulk. The band diagram of this system is shown in Fig. 1.
The detectors we have studied have rectangular pixel contacts surrounded by a grid on the anode side (see Fig. 2.)
and a monolithic contact on the cathode side. We treat this as a one-dimensional system, where the electric field is uniform inboth X and Y directions. In the Schottky-depleted-layer approximation, if a small negative voltage, - V (V>0) is applied to the
cathode, the electric field distribution, U(z), inside both the depleted and undepleted regions of the detector can be written as:
U(z)=(eN
D/2ε)(z-W)2-EA(z-W) + ∆V, 0<z<W (1)
andU(z)=E
A(W-z)+ ∆V, W<z<L . (2)Figure 1.Schottky contact with interfacial layer (a) unbiased and (b)

EvIn the above equations, W is the width of the depleted layer, L is the thickness of the CZT crystal, EA is the electric field
strength inside the undepleted bulk (same as at the anode), ε is the permittivity of CZT, e is the electron charge, ND is the
concentration of the ionized donor centers, and – ∆V (∆V>0) is the potential at the edge of the depleted layer ( ∆V=(L-W)E A).
Using the boundary condition at the cathode and at the edge of the depleted layer, one can find the width of the depleted layer
from:
V+V bi=(eN D/2ε)W2+∆V, (3)
where Vbi is the built-in voltage or diffusion potential at the cathode (see Fig. 1). From this equation, W can be calculated if
EA or ∆V is known. If W/L<<1 and {(eN D/2ε)W2-Vbi}/V<<1 then EA≡∆V/(L-W)=V/L , and I~V, i.e. at small applied biases the
current follows Ohm’s law. The voltage VRT required to deplete the whole volume of the crystal, defined as the reach-through
voltage, is given by:
VRT=(eN D/2ε)L2+E 0L-V bi (4)
where E0 is the electric field strength at the anode when the cathode is at VRT, i.e. E0=E A(VRT). Notice, that when the bulk
resistance is neglected, E0=0, and Eq. (4) becomes the standard expression for the flat-band voltage–a parameter usually
defined to characterize the back-to-back barrier system [3,4]. For applied voltages higher than VRT:
U(x)=V RT(z-L)2/2L+(z-L)V/L. (5)
Correspondingly, the electric-field strength at the cathode EC–the parameter which we will need for further calculations–is
given by:
EC(V)=(eN D/ε)W+E A, V<V RT, (6)
and
EC(V)=(V RT+V)/L-E 0,V > V RT (7)
In the combined ITD model, the reverse current, IR (A/cm2), over the barrier at the cathode is expressed as [13]:
IR={ϑnA*T2/(1+ϑnVR/VD)}exp(- ΦR/VTH)(1-exp{-(V-R SIR)/VTH}), (8)
where A* is the effective Richardson constant, T is the temperature, VR is the thermal velocity, ϑn is the transmission
coefficient through the oxide layer, RS is the series resistance of the bulk, and VTH=kT/e. V D is an effective diffusion velocity
[11,14] that can be calculated analytically if Eq. (1) is used to approximate the field distribution in the depleted layer. In this
case, VD is simply the electron drift velocity at the cathode, namely:
VD=µEC, (9)
where µ is the electron mobility ( µ=1000 cm2/Vs). The effective Richardson constant is related to the thermal velocity VR by:
A*T2≡VRNC, (10)
where NC is the effective density of the states in the conduction band given by:
NC=2(2πm0kT/h2)3/2 (11)
The Schottky barrier height, ΦR, is a function of the applied voltage and reflects the barrier lowering due to the
voltage drop across the oxide layer. Again, following Wu [14], we assume that ΦR depends linearly on the applied voltage
(the barrier lowering due to image-force is negligible in our case) given by:
ΦR=Φ0-(1-1/n 0)V, (12)where Φ0 is the barrier height under thermal equilibrium conditions, with
1/n 0=εi/(εi+e2δDS). (13)
Here εI and δ are the permitivity and thickness of the interfacial layer, and DS is the density of surface states per unit energy
and area.
The series resistance of the undepleted layer can be expressed as:
RS=(L-W)/eN µ, (14)
where N is the free electron concentration (we assume that CZT is an n-type semiconductor). Substituting Eq. (14) into
Eq. (8) and using Eq. (5) for W and Eqs. (6,7) for EC we can numerically calculate the I-V dependence for the current across
the whole system. The above equations contain too many free parameters, and the information contained in a single I-V curve
is obviously insufficient to obtain the parameters from a fitting procedure. Our primary goal, however, is not to evaluate all
these parameters explicitly, but to demonstrate that by assuming reasonable values for these parameters, the measured I-V
curves can be explained with the ITD model.
The effective Richardson constant can be calculated as A*=120(m*/m0) (in A-cm-2K-2), where m* and m0 are the
effective and free electron masses. Since the ratio m*/m0 for ZnTe and CdTe are 0.11 [17] and 0.09 [10], respectively, we
assume for CZT a similar ratio of 0.1. Thus, A*=12 A-cm-2K-2. N can be evaluated from Eq. (14) after fitting the I-V curve at
low voltages where the dependence follows Ohm’s law ( W<<L and ∆V=V ). For the typical intrinsic bulk resistivity of 3x1010
Ohm_cm, N=2.5x105 cm-3. The limits for the potential barrier height Φ0 can be found from results obtained for Pt-CdTe and
Au-CdTe systems (see e.g. Refs. [10,18]) where 0.7< Φ0<0.9. As for VRT, ϑn and n0, these parameters depend on the contact
fabrication process, and have to be found by fitting the I-V curves.
In the high voltage region, where the crystal is fully depleted ( RS=0) Eq. (8) can be simplified:
IR={C 0/(1+C 1/(VRT+V-E 0L))}exp(C 2V). (15)
Here
C0=ϑnA*T2exp(-Φ0/VTH), (16)
C1=ϑnLVR/µ, (17)
and
C2=1-1/n 0. (18)
If the effect of interfacial layer is negligible, C2=0 and ϑn=1. From Eq. (10) one can find the following expression for the
ratio C0/C1:
C0/C1=(N Cµ/L)exp(-Φ0/VTH), (19)
which allows us to estimate the potential barrier Φ0.
To fit the experimental data, we first assume that the parameters VRT and C2 are known, and apply Eq. (15) to fit the
I-V curve for the voltages above VRT (high enough that E0L/V RT<<1). We then evaluate the parameters C0 and C1 and use
these to calculate the potential barrier height, Φ0, from Eq. (19), and the ϑnVR product from Eq. (17). ϑn and VR cannot be
evaluated separately, however, since we assumed that A* is known and equal to 12 A-cm-2K-2, then from Eq. (10):
VR=8.5x106 cm/s. We then find E0 by solving Eqs. (7) and (8) with V=V RT, and RS=0. This allowed us to calculate ND from
Eq. (4). Finally, we minimized the χ2(VRT,C2) function, given by:
χ2(VRT,C2)=∑{(ICAL-IMEAS)/σ}2, (20)
to obtain estimates for VRT and C2. Note that for V<VRT, we solve Eq. (3) and Eq. (8) numerically to calculate W, I and EA for
each applied voltage V.3. Experimental setup
We measured I-V dependencies using a probe stage with a GPIB-controlled HP 3458A multimeter and a EDC 521
DC calibrator. All measurements were taken at a steady state current condition. Because of the large number of deep traps inthe CZT material, it can take several minutes or even hours to reach equilibrium between free and trapped charge. Thesemeasurements are therefore very time consuming, and we use a computer-controlled setup.
To reduce the waiting time before equilibrium is reached, we varied the bias on the cathode in small steps. After
each step, we paused for several minutes before taking 10-20 sequential measurements of the current, separated in time by 1-min intervals. This sequence of data points allows us to verify that equilibrium has been actually achieved, and also toimprove the accuracy of the measurements. We took the majority of measurements at room temperature, (26 +/-1 C). For onedetector, we varied the temperature from 17 to 70 C. We place the detector on a hot-plate, covered by a super-insulatingscreen. During the measurement the temperature stability was +/-0.5 C, monitored with a thermocouple (accuracy +/-0.1 C)attached to the hot-plate in close proximity to the detector.
We used four groups of CZT pixel detectors, fabricated by eV-Products over a two-year period. The first two
groups, labeled D1 and D2, were fabricated (to the best of our knowledge) from different slices of the same ingot, and wetherefore expect them to have similar performance. Detectors from groups D1 and D4 are 12x12x2 mm CZT crystals, eachwith a single 8x8 mm contact enclosed inside a guard ring on one side, and a monolithic contact on the opposite side. Thegap between the contact and the guard ring is 0.2 mm. The detectors from group D2 are 8x8x2 mm single crystals, with fourpatterns of 8x8 pixel arrays (see Fig. 2). The physical size of a pixel is 650 by 680 µm. 50 µm wide orthogonal strips are
placed between the pixel contacts. Each pixel from a pattern has the same gap between the contact and the grid, which variedbetween 100 and 250 µm from pattern to pattern. Finally, the detectors from the third group, D3, are 7.1x7.1x1.7 mm CZT
crystals fabricated from a different ingot. The D3 detectors have pixel patterns similar to D2, except the pixel size is 400 by400 µm, and the gaps between contacts and grid are 50 and 75 µm, with a 25 µm grid width.
We typically took the measurements from -100 V to +100 V between contacts and cathode, but for some detectors
we increased the maximum applied voltage up to 1 kV. We eliminated the leakage current flowing over the side surfaces ofthe detector by using a guard ring.4. Results and discussion
Figs. 3-5 show the I-V characteristics for the three groups of detectors, measured for bias voltage of -100 to +100 V.
In these plots the currents are normalized to the effective area of the pixel contact (i.e. to the geometrical area with boundaries

Fig. 3 shows the curvesmeasured for the two pixels of one of the D1 (large contact) detectors. The shape of the curves clearly indicates the existenceof Schottky barriers on the anode and cathode sides of the detectors. At low applied biases (<1 V) the I-V curves follow
Ohm’s law, with the slopes corresponding to a specific resistivity of 2.9x10
10 and 2.2x1010 Ohm-cm for detectors D1 and D2
respectively. These are typical values for high-resistivity CZT material grown by eV-Products. As the voltage increases, thelinear slope starts to change. When the absolute voltage is between 1 and 50 V, the I-V relations again becomes close to alinear law, but with a slope several times smaller.
We observed similar behavior for the D2 detectors (small pixel contacts). Fig. 4 shows a set of curves measured for
several different size pixels. Only the positive branches of the I-V curves (cathode is positive biased) exhibit the described
behavior. The negative branches seem to be affected by the surface conductance in the gap between the guard ring and thecontact, and show a slightly different behavior. Here the current reaches a local maximum at around -25 V and then decreasesand starts rising again (negative dynamic resistance). This asymmetry of the positive and negative branches indicates that theCZT crystal is a n-type. Indeed, when a positive bias is applied to the cathode, a depleted layer starts to expand from a pixel
contact (for an n-type CZT) toward the cathode and along the surface into the gap between the contact and the guard ring (afringe effect). Effectively, this increases the area of the contact until the whole area along the surface becomes depleted. Th is
happens at relatively low biases, for which the measured current is still bulk resistance limited. At positive biases on thecathode, the fringe effect does not show up in the I-V curves. However, when a negative bias is applied to the cathode, the
depleted layer starts to grow from the cathode, reaching the anode side (pixel contacts first) when the bulk resistancebecomes negligible. At high absolute bias (>100 V), the negative and positive branches of I-V curves behave similarly.
Because of the surface effects, we cannot estimate the specific resistivity of the CZT for the pixels with large gaps betweencontacts and grid. For example, the bulk resistivity evaluated for a 250 µm gap pixel was greater that 10
11 Ohm-cm (curve 3
in Fig. 4) which is obviously an unrealistic value. For several I-V curves, measured for pixels of both the D1 and D2
detectors, we extended the maximum applied bias up to +/-400 V. These measurements revealed that above 100-150 V, thelinear portion of the I-V curves is followed by an exponential rise.
Figure 5 shows typical I-V characteristics measured for the D3 detectors. At first glance, these curves look completely
different from those measured for the D1 and D2 detectors. The curves have linear dependencies, with only slight diode-likebehavior at low biases. Nevertheless, as we describe below, we can in fact use the same physical model for all detectorgroups. For comparison, Fig. 6 shows two representative curves measured for the D1 and D3 detectors. Because of the smallpixel size of the D3 detectors, the measured currents were smaller than those measured for the D1 and D2 detectors at thesame bias. This is the reason for the fluctuation seen at low bias for the D3 detectors.
The I-V curve measured for D4 detectors are very similar to those measured for D3 and we will discuss them later in

We applied the ITD model described in the previous section to fit the measured curves. We found that we can
reproduce all the measured I-V characteristics accurately. To illustrate the fitting procedures, we selected three representative
I-V characteristics; a positive branch of the I-V curve measured for the D1 detector (large contact); a negative branch
measured for the D2 detector (small contacts), and a positive branch measured for the D3 detectors. The experimental curves(squares) and the evaluated theoretical curves (solid lines) are shown in Figs. 7-9 on a log-log scale. Table 1 summarizes themagnitude of the parameters obtained from the least square fit, used to calculate the theoretical curves. As seen, theagreement between the ITD theory and the experimental data is very good. For the D1 curve the
χ2 function has a very broad
minimum, and practically any value of VRT between 18 and 70 V provides a satisfactory fit to the data. For the D2 curve the
acceptable values of VRT range between 12 and 25 V, with χ2 reaching the minimum at 19.9 V. Finally, the I-V curve
measured for the D3 detector gives 9.7 V for VRT.
For all groups of the detectors, the corresponding values of ND were between 0.2 and 2.5 x1010 cm-3. As seen, the
effective concentration of the ionized donors in the depleted volume is much higher than the concentration of the free carriers(electrons) inside the undepleted bulk. This is typical for the highly compensated material. The correlation between theparameters
ρ, N, and ND is also evident, This is probably related to the total impurity concentration. We found nearly the
same barrier heights at zero field for all tested contacts, Φ0=0.78-0.79 eV, but very different magnitudes of ϑn and C2. Taking
0.8282 eV for the position of the Fermi level inside the CZT bandgap [19], one can find Vbi~0.03 eV. As seen from Table 1,
there is correlation between the parameters ϑn and C2. This can be attributed to the fact that the larger the thickness of the
interfacial layer, the smaller the transmission coefficient ϑn, and the higher the voltage drop across the interfacial layer
(∆VI=C2V).
The ITD theory allows us to understand the factors determining the bulk leakage currents in the high resistivity CZT
detectors. At low voltages, current is always limited by the specific bulk resistivity of CZT, typically 1-5x1010 Ohm-cm. In
the case of the ideal Schottky barrier, the maximum possible current, IMAX, would be equal to the saturation current ISAT across

ISAT=A*T2exp(-Φ0/VTH). (21)
For comparison, Figs. 7-9 show an ideal Schottky barrier characteristic with the saturation current ISAT. If the interfacial layer
exists between the contact and semiconductor, the current will be significantly reduced due to the factor ϑn at low biases, and
will rise exponentially at very high bias ( ϑnVR/VD<<1) because of the barrier height lowering:
I=ϑnISATexp(C 2V/V TH). (22)
As an example, for the D1 and D2 detectors, the measured current already exceeds ISAT. at biases above >500V. The current I,
given by Eq. (22), is obtained in the thermionic limit ( ϑnVR/VD<<1), i.e. when all electrons entering the semiconductor are
rapidly swept by the electric field. However, if the electron drift velocity VD is not fast enough to efficiently remove electrons
from the near contact area, the resulting current will be smaller. In the diffusion limited current case, i.e. when ϑnVR/VD>>1,
and V>V RT, then:
I=eN CµECexp(-Φ0/VTH), (23)
where EC is the electric field strength at the contact, and NC is given by Eq. (11). As for the actual current it is hard to say a
priori if it is thermionic or diffusion-limited. In the general case the current is determined by Eq. (8) from which the diffusion
and thermionic limits can be derived, depending on the ratio ϑnVR/VD.

To illustrate the effect of the interfacial layer on the dark current, we calculated the theoretical I-V curves for two
cases: 1) ϑn=1 and C2=0, i.e. no interfacial layer, and 2) ϑn<1 and C2=0, i.e. no potential barrier lowering. The magnitudes of
the remaining parameters were taken from the least square fit of the experimental data. If no interfacial layer exists (first
case) the calculated current (curves D in Figs. 7-9) would be diffusion-limited up to very high biases, such that the condition
VR/VD>>1 is satisfied. In other words, the dark current in high resistivity CZT detectors is diffusion-limited if no interfacial
layer exists. Eq. (23) can be rewritten as:
I=eN SµEC, (24)
where NS is the free electron concentration near the contact. On the other hand, in the diffusion approximation the surface
concentration NS can be expressed as:
NS=N Bexp(-V bi/VTH), (25)
where NB is the free electron concentration in the undepleted bulk. Eq. (24) resembles the Ohmic-like dependence but with a
much smaller specific resistivity due to a reduction factor exp(-V bi/VTH), e.g. for Vbi=0.05 V exp(-V bi/VTH)=0.15. Thus, in theapplied bias range from 1 to 100V, the measured I-V curve could be misinterpreted as following Ohm’s law, and, as was first
pointed out in Ref. [4], a significant overestimate of the bulk resistivity would be obtained.
If no potential barrier lowering is assumed, i.e. C2=0, the calculated I-V curves, labeled T in Figs. 7-9, would
correspond precisely to the termionic-limited current for the detectors D1 and D2, and still be diffusion-limited for D3. Asdiscussed previously, this is why, the I-V curves for the detectors from groups D1 and D2 are very different from those
measured for D3. It appears that the D1 and D2 detectors have an interfacial layer which makes the condition
ϑnVR/VD <<1
exist even at low bias. In contrast, we assume that the D3 detectors have a much thinner layer, with ϑn~1, and, as a result the
current is diffusion-limited up to high bias.
It is interesting to compare the I-V curves measured for D2 (thick interfacial layer) and D3 (thin interfacial layer).
Below 1 V the current measured for D3 is approximately 2 times smaller than D2 because of the difference in bulkresistivities: 2.2x10
10 and 4.2x1010 Ohm-cm. On the contrary, around 200 V, the current measured for D2 becomes 3-4 times
smaller, because of the transmission factor ϑn, than that measured for D3. At even higher biases, the exponential rise, due to
the barrier lowering, dominates, and at some point the D2 current exceeds the D3 current again, as seen in Figs. 7-9. It isclear that for any operating voltage there should be an optimal thickness of the interfacial layer which provides the minimalleakage current. However, the most efficient way to reduce the leakage current is, of course, to use contacts with large barrie r
heights.
Figure 10 shows the I-V characteristics measured for a randomly selected D1 detector at different detector
temperatures. We found that the least squares fit for each curve yields similar results within the fitting errors for allparameters of the Schottky barrier. The solid lines represents the theoretical curves calculated after substituting averagedvalues for the fitting parameters. The temperature dependence of the dark current in the range between 20 to 70 C is shown inFig. 11 for two cathode biases: 20 and 100 V. The solid line depicts the theoretical curves calculated by using the parametersfound from the previous fit shown in Fig. 10.

We have demonstrated that the bulk I-V
characteristics measured for the CZT pixel detectors withPt contacts can be explained by applying a combinedinterfacial layer-thermionic-diffusion theory to a back-to-back Schottky barrier system. By fitting the measuredcurves over a 5 decade range we obtain consistentparameters for the Schottky barrier as well as for the CZTmaterial. For example, we found the potential barrier of thePt contact to be 0.78-0.79 eV.
It appears that the interfacial layer, likely formed
during the detector fabrication process, can significantlyaffect the I-V characteristics of CZT detectors with
blocking contacts (Pt contacts in this case). The detectorleakage current is limited by the material bulk resistivity atlow bias (<1V). At high applied voltages, the current isdetermined by the potential barrier height, transmissioncoefficient through the interfacial layer, and by the barrierheight lowering effect due to the voltage drop across theinterfacial layer. If the effect of the interfacial layer issmall, the leakage current is diffusion-limited up to veryhigh bias, and can resemble ohmic behavior, with effectivebulk resistivity much higher than 5x10
10Ohm-cm.

THE GHOSTLY SOLUTION OF THE QUANTUM PARADOXES
AND ITS EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION*
Raoul Nakhmanson
Frankfurt am Main, Germany†
This conference is entitled "Frontiers of fundamental physics". What does this mean? Is it
the frontiers of today's physical knowledge, or is it the frontiers of physics itself as a science?
In my paper I shall try to show that today it is the same: the frontiers of contemporary
physical knowledge coincide with the conceptual frontiers of physics as a science regardingthe behaviour of so-called inanimate matter and even cross over to invade into the kingdomof ghost. Such a point of view permits a very natural interpretation of quantum phenomena,and suggests essentially new experiments in which information plays the principal rôle.
The microworld has surprised the "classical" physicists with the following paradoxes:
1,2
1) Before quantum mechanics (QM) was created: quantization of mass, charge, energy,
angular momentum; the identity of particles of the same type; wave-particle duality.
2) In QM: statistical predictions, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Pauli's exclusion
principle.
3) In standard (Copenhagen) interpretation of QM: rejection of the classical realism, a ban
on speaking about non-measured parameters, trajectories, etc.; Bohr's complementarity prin-ciple, collapse of the wave function.
The Copenhagen interpretation is only a translation of the mathematical formalism of QM
to the ordinary language but not an interpretation in a common sense, because it does notexplain how, why, and in which frames this formalism works. Feynman told his students thatthe quantum world was not like anything that we know; and although everybody knows QM,many people use it, some of them develop it, but nobody understands it.
In discussions about QM the "Gedankenexperimente" play an important rôle. We will
discuss three of them which were really performed:
1) Delayed-choice experiment.
3 In one arm of an interferometer a Pockels cell is placed
which closes the path of photons at the short moment when they can pass the cell. In accor-dance with old local-realistic concept each photon flies only in one arm of the interferometer.If it is the arm with the cell the photon will be absorbed and nothing will be registered. If it isanother arm, the short work of the cell placed far away does not act on the photon and thesame interference as without the cell must be registered. But no interference was found inaccordance with QM.

Frontiers of Fundamental Physics , Edited by M. Barone
and F. Selleri, Plenum Press, New York, 19945922) Aharonov-Bohm effect. 4 In accordance with QM the frequency of wave-function
oscillation depends on the energy. If the particle has different energies in different arms ofthe interferometer, it leads to an additional phase shift and changes the interference pattern.The experiments were performed with an electron interferometer and a magnetic vectorpotential and justified the predictions of QM. It is of interest that in the experiments theelectrons did not cross the magnetic field. From the old classical point of view it looks likenon-local action at a distance.
3) Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) experiment. It was suggested in
5 and modernized by
Bohm. 6 Here two particles emitted simultaneously have common non-factorisable wave
function and are measured after parting by a large distance. There is some correlationbetween the results measured. Bell has shown
7 that any local realistic theory (i.e. theory with
hidden parameters and restricted velocity of interaction) estimates the uppermost limit of suchcorrelation, and this limit is smaller than predicted by QM. The experiments beingperformed
2 are in accordance with QM, and today's dominant opinion is that local realism has
been disproved and one must refuse either reality lying beyond the measurements (likeCopenhagen) or locality. Later I will show that this conclusion as well as Bell's theorem itselfdo not have the generality being ascribed to them.
The EPR-scheme raises a question about separability. "Common sense" prompts that after
some time and distance the "magic" correlation between particles must disappear, i.e. thefactorisation of the wave function must take place. But how? The analogous question isconnected with measuring procedure itself: If interaction between particle and apparatusallows several output results, the QM forecasted end state is a superposition of these results.But in practice the result of each measurement is a pure state, and the result of the series is astatistical mixture. It seems as if QM does not describe the whole measurement process.
8
There are some explanations of the EPR paradox. From the Copenhagen point of view it
is so as it is. Speaking about some hidden parameters of particles, e.g. directions of spins,before the measurement, has no sense, and Bell's theorem and experiments justify this.
Non-local theories with hidden parameters .
9 Here an instantaneous action at a distance is
provided by instantaneous collapse of the wave function in all space. The critics emphasizethat these theories only rewrite the Schrödinger's equation in a more complex form, giving thesame results and nothing new.
Action of future on the past .
10 If such action is possible, the future conditions of measu-
rement can act on the hidden parameters of particles at the moment of their departure to tunethem for correct correlation. Up to now there is no complete theory ready to defy critique.But common sense prompts that such a world can not be stable.
Fatalism . This possibility was noted particularly by Bell.
11 In the spirit of Laplace it is
possible to think that everything is pre-determined, particularly our choice of position ofanalyser. Here we are confronted with the old problem of "free will". If free will exists man(and not only he) can control the choice of alternatives taking into account physical and socialconditions. The following chain of syllogisms supports the existence of free will:
→ Useful changes are selected and consolidated by evolution.
+ During evolution the volume of the human brain increases. = The volume of brain is a useful quantity. + Intelligence depends on the brain volume; as a rule, the greater the volume, the higher the intelligence. = Intelligence is useful. + Intelligence can develop itself only if it can choose among several alternatives; only in such situations can intelligence be useful.
= Free choice, i.e. free will exists.
One can reply that the increase of the brain volume as well as evolution itself are included
in the fatalistic scenario. But if one considers the existence of free will ad hoc as an axiom,
then, in accordance with these syllogisms, free will gives intelligence a chance to evolve.593The roots of free will do not lie in the macroworld which is ruled by deterministic laws.
They lie in the microworld, and quantum uncertainty points to it. Human intelligence is notthe only product of free will. It is possible that earler, the free will created some intelligenceat the level of its roots, i.e. in microworld. Because the time (measured not in seconds but inevents) flowed there much faster, this intelligence had a longer evolution period. Perhaps thegolden age of it is over, and now we have to do it only with a "rudimentar" intelligence (socalled by Cochran
12). The additional pointers on intelligent matter are the Einstein's formula
E = mc2 , the informational character of the wave function ψψψψ, the principle of the least action,
and quantum-mechanical stochastics. 13
The development of quantum physics was a step across the boundary between matter and
ghost drawn by Descartes. Physicists felt it and spoke about the free will of electrons andghost (spirit, consciousness, intelligence) in matter. Similar meanings were expressed byCharles Galton Darwin, Eddington, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Pauli, Jordan, Margenau,Wigner, Charon, Cochran, and others. Feynman said that it looks as if a computer is in eachpoint of space. Cambrige University Press has published a book touching this theme
11 con-
taining interviews with Bell, Bohm, Wheeler, Peierls, Aspect, and others.
Some interesting analogies between microworld and people have been noticed. Niels Bohr
saw the manifestation of his complementarity principle in human thinking. Margenau wroteabout Pauli's exclusion principle:
14
"Prior to that time, all theories had affected the individual nature of so-called 'parts'; the new principle
regulated their social behaviour... The particles, though initially assumed to be free, are seen to avoideach other... In a crude manner of speaking, each particle wants to be alone; each runs away then it'smells' the other, and its sense of smell is keener the more nearly its velocity equals to the other's."
This was said about Fermi-particles. Such behaviour is typical for scientists: each of them
tries to find his own theme. Sometimes people's behaviour is like a Bose-particle. Pheno-mena such as fashion in dress or music, and applause or coughing in concert halls, areexamples of Bose-condensation. The same man can manifest himself as a Bose- or Fermi-person. For particles this was only possibe in "big bang" time. Are we now at the same stageof evolution?
The next example concerns the EPR-experiment. Let us suppose there are twins, Ralf and
Rolf, both of whom live in Frankfurt and work for Lufthansa as pilots. They fly all over theworld but mainly to England and Greece. For Lufthansa (not for their families!) they areindistinguishable "particles". The twins always try to dress alike, they believe that this bringsthem happiness. Because they are often in different countries, they agree on an order ofsartorial priority: cold before warmth and rain before dry spell.
Figure 1. Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) experiment and the apparent non-local interaction.594God, who is observing the twins, sees as a rule the striking correlation: the twins dress
alike! For example, Ralf and Rolf arrive in England and Greece, respectively. If it is cold inEngland, not only Ralf but also Rolf wears the overcoat in spite of the warm weather; if it israining in Greece, not only Rolf but also Ralf hides beneath an umbrella, regardless ofwhether it is raining or not (Fig.1); etc.. "What is the matter?" - thinks God, - "I estimateexperimental conditions, namely, weather in England and Greece and the twins' financialstatus, telephoning is too expensive for them. It seems there is a non-local interactionbetween the twins. I am sure it is a new escapade of the devil!"
God's conclusion was only half true. In his heavenly chariot he fell behind the technical
progress of the 20th century. He was right suspecting the devil. But up to now the devildoes not realize non-local interaction. Instead, he has invented television, power computer formeteorology, and communication satellite. Because of it the twins watch TV at everyevening for a good tomorrow world weather forecast .
Although our behaviour occurs in real space-time, the strategy of it is not there. It is in our
consciousness, which controls our behaviour, taking into account physical and social lawsand circumstances. To develop a strategy we use our knowledge only about the past, andpropagate it on the future. The thoroughness of the forecast depends on the information takeninto account and the power of the intelligence.
But let us come back to physics. Unfortunately the idea about intelligent matter is not
developed up to now. They, who spoke about ghost in matter, did not go beyond such astatement and did not suggest any hypotheses and schemes which could be tested experimen-tally. From another side physicists using QM do not see the necessity of such an idea andfollow the principle thought as old as Aristoteles but named after William of Ockham"Ockham's Razor":
"entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity".
Niels Bohr said, that there are trivial and deep statements. To be asked "What is a deep
statement?" he answered: "It is such a statement, that an opposite statement is also a deepone." If one accepts the Ockham's principle as a deep statement then, according to Bohr,
"entities should not be canceled beyond necessity"
must also be accepted as a deep statement. Besides, the practical necessity is not the only ormain criterion of theory.
A consistent development of the idea of intelligent matter naturally interprets quantum
paradoxes as well as QM itself within the limits of local realism, and suggests essentially newexperiments with microparticles and atoms in which information plays the principal rôle.
In the new conception the wave function
ψψψψ is a strategy-function. It reflects an optimal
behaviour of particles. It is not in the real 3-dimensional space. It is in imaginary configura-tion space, which, in its turn, is in the imagination (consciousness) of the particle. When theparticle receives new information (it takes place by any interaction with micro- or macro-objects), it can change its strategy. Thus occurs the collapse of the wave function. It occursnot in the real (infinite) space, but in the consciousness of particles. The consequent time isdetermined by the rapidity of this consciousness. Therefore, compared with space-timeconditions of experiment, collapse is local and instantaneous. Von Neumann and Wigner
suggested that human consciousness has influence on the collapse of
ψψψψ- function. It is not
so: in the human consciousness only the human knowledge about the ψψψψ- function collapses.
The laws of both collapses lie beyond physics.
The wave-particle duality is a mind-body one. In the space there exists only the particle;
the wave exists in its consciousness, as well as the reflection of the whole world. If there are
many particles, their distribution in accordance with the ψψψψ- function looks as a real wave in
real space.595Particles are artifical things. Division into different sorts or species with internal identities
is typical for mass products. It simplifies production, usage, repairs, and replacement of suchobjects. Technics, plants and animals illustrate it very well. In the last two cases theproduction is ruled at the genetic level. For example, people have a very narrow statisticaldistribution of sizes and masses; the world records in sport differ from the middle results notmore than twice. The identity of particles of one sort in QM is analogous to the identity ofvehicles of one sort with respect to traffic rules. The individual differences lies beyond QM.
Because of free will the behaviour of particles is not strictly determined. In situations
allowing alternative outputs the theory gives only a distribution of priorities. Taking this intoaccount the particle makes its choice. The optimal tactics of proportional proving of allpossibilities by an ensemble of disconnected particles is randomization of this choice. To doit the particles must have the generators of random signals.
If some theory and random generator (RG) are used to choose the alternative, it looks like
a complete algorithm. Well, but where is the free will now? Is it only to change the RG?
The answer is, that purpose and means create a dependence. Really free is he who has no
purpose and no desire including the desire of freedom. Therefore there is a danger that in the"Konsumgesellschaft" we transform ourselves into some kind of automata. Perhaps themicroworld did not avoid it. But the new turn of development can be connected with achange of purpose or new information. Besides, Gödel's theorem prompts, that the space ofcorrect statements can be manifold. In such a case to reach a new fold one must make a"quantum jump". "Do not sin against logic, one reaches nothing new", - said Einstein.
Pauli's principle and Bose- and Fermi-particles were discussed above. These types of
social behaviour are optimal for searching (fermions) and power action (bosons). In the lastcase some macroscopical effects can be observed (in superconductors, superfluids, lasers).
With respect to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle: In the new conception it reflects not the
reality but QM as a theory of measurement. In reality the particle has definite coordinates,impulse, trajectory, etc.. But during an interaction with the measurement apparatus it has apossibility to choose the next state. It solves this problem using its intelligence (reflected in
the
ψψψψ- function), random generator, and freedom (e.g. reflected in the choice of RG). Neither
QM nor any other theory predicts a particular result: it would be a refusal of free will.
In spite of this, the dream of Einstein and other realists, to know the values of all parame-
ters included in a theory can become true. Particles remember what happened and tell it toothers. To do this, they must have synchronised clocks, measure rules, and reference pointsfor space and time. In this sense it is possible to speak about absolute coordinates and time,like Greenwich's ones. If we can communicate with particles
13,15 , they can say everything
about their parameters and forecast their and our future.
The new concept includes the previous realistic ones: empty waves 2 and parallel worlds 16
exist, but not in the real world: as virtual possibilities they exist in the consciousness of a
particle. Not the real 10 but a forecasted future acts on the past . The above mentioned
danger of total algorithmisation looks like a stochastic fatalism .
The new explanation of delayed-choice and EPR experiments, and suggestions how to
have "non-QM-results", were done in 13. The essence is, that particles are well informed
about the world and its development. The Aharonov-Bohm effect has the same explanation.Besides, this effect emphasizes a priority of potential against field (in classical physics theyenjoy equal rights). From the new point of view it is natural, because potential just contribu-tes to the action function whose minimum as a function of trajectory is wanted. It should beobserved that the idea of forecasting the conditions on this trajectory is also included in the
least action principle. The change from integral form to a differential one does not solve theproblem: the notion of derivative is connected with two points, and if we are in one of them,we know only the past conditions in the second point and must extend this into the present.
The proof of Bell's theorem is based on the next assertion: if a particle 1 is measured in
the point A having a condition (e.g. angle of analyser) α , and P
a is a probability of result a ,596then a condition β existing in a distant point B , there is a measured particle 2 , has no influ-
ence on the Pa , and vice versa. Here Bell and others saw the indispensable requirement of
local realism. Mathematically it can be written as
Pab(λ1i,λ2i,α,β) = Pa(λ1i,α)×Pb(λ2i,β) , (Bell) (1)
where Pab is the probability of the join result ab , and λ1i and λ2i are hidden parameters of
particles 1 and 2 in an arbitrary local-realistic theory. Under the influence of Bell's
theorem and the following experiments some "realists" reject locality. In this case an instan-taneous action at a distance is possible, and one can write
P
ab(λ1i,λ2i,α,β) = Pa(λ1i,α,β)×Pb(λ2i,β,α) . (non-locality) (2)
In principle such a relation permits a description of any correlation between a and b ,
particularly predicted by QM and observed in experiments. But in the frame of local realismthe condition (1) is not indispensable. Instead, one can write
P
ab(λ1i,λ2i,α,β) = Pa(λ1i,α,β´)×Pb(λ2i,β,α´) , (forecast) (3)
where α´ and β´ are the conditions of measurements in points A and B , respectively, as
they can be forecast by particles at the moment of their parting. If the forecast is good
enough, i.e. α´ ≈ α and β´ ≈ β , then (3) practically coincides with (2) and has all its advan-
tages plus locality.
On the issue of separability: The EPR-particles have a common strategy. It can continue
as long as they can forecast the future. But particles can also have so intensive interactions(e.g. with detectors) that initial strategy is not important anymore. In both cases the con-sciousness of the particle has an ability to cut off and forget the old partnership.
QM is "microsociology". Like its humane sister, it makes only probabilistic forecasts.
The transition to classical physics is the transition from sociology of persons to sociology ofcrowds: the level of freedom decreases and behaviour becomes deterministic. Feynman'sstatement "quantum world is not like anything that we know" is right only if we do not takeinto account living beings. If a baby, having more experience with his parents than with"inanimate" matter, could make experiments, the behavior of microparticles would appear toit to be very natural.

Based upon our previous works ( Eur.Phys.J.D 6, 319(1999); C hin.Phys.Lett.

harmonic generation of the laser driven atoms and molecules . The Coulomb
singularities in the system have been removed by a regulariz ation procedure.
Action-angle variables have been used to generate the initi al microcanonical
distribution which satisfies the inversion symmetry of the s ystem. The nu-
merical simulation show, within a proper laser intensity, a harmonic plateau
with only odd harmonics appears. At higher intensities, the spectra become
noisier because of the existence of chaos. With further incr ease in laser in-
tensity, ionization takes place, and the high-order harmon ics disappear. Thus
chaos introduces noise in the spectra, and ionization suppr esses the harmonic

2I. INTRODUCTION
The development of the high-power femtosecond laser has sti mulated the investigation of
the multi-photon processes of atoms and molecules interact ing with intense laser fields [1-9].
Recently, there are many theoretical and experimental refe rences about these multiphoton
process. Within a proper intensity region, lots of odd harmo nics of laser are generated by
atomic and molecular gases [1-5,14]. The harmonic structur e distributes as a plateau which is
cut off at a special high-order harmonic. When the intensity i ncreases, the ionization channel
is opened and the high-order harmonics disappear. The above threshold ionization (ATI)
occurs when the laser intensity is sufficient power (above 1013W/cm2). Various structures
(plateau, angular distribution, etc.) in ATI spectra have b een detailed in Ref.[6-8]. The
above threshold dissociation (ATD) and dissociation-ioni zation of molecular systems are
also reported [9-10]. Studying the laser-matter interacti on deeply, not only can obtain new
knowledge of the interacting mechanism, but also can provid e widely application in the
generation of high-order coherent harmonics, X-rays laser and γ-rays laser.
The classical dynamics of most laser-driven systems is gene rally chaotic, due to the ex-
istence of nonlinearity. Chaos usually manifests itself as some control parameters (initial
energy, laser intensity, laser frequency, etc.) are varied . The microscopic systems, in partic-
ular those involving atoms and molecules, are governed by a H amiltonian. To study these
systems are of great importance in the context of quantum-cl assical correspondence. At the
investigated high power laser intensity (1013˜1015W/cm2), the electric field of the laser is
equal in strength to the Coulomb field of the nuclei [8], and th e laser field can not be looked
as a perturbation to the field-free system, for the states the mselves are no longer indepen-
dent of the laser. Generally, the microscopic systems (atom s or molecules) are intrinsically
quantum mechanical systems, thus they must be described by q uantum mechanics. How-
ever, due to the presence of intense laser, the exact calcula tion even numerical simulation
based upon quantum mechanics tend to be very difficult to perfo rm. Fortunately, classical
approach to these similar problems is useful for providing p hysical insight into dynamics
3processes [10-13]. Classical chaos associating with the mi crowave ionization of atomic hy-
drogen reveals that the detailed mechanism of atomic ioniza tion in terms of transport in
phase space [11-12]. Classical prediction for scaled frequ encies has been verified by quan-
tum calculations [12-13], and, in turn, has confirmed the dyn amical significance of classical
chaos. The harmonic generation (HG) of laser driven hydroge n atoms is simulated with
classical Monte-Carlo method [14], the numerical results a re qualitatively consistent with
the quantum mechanic results and the experimental observat ion. For the molecular systems,
the classical calculation is a good first step, since length a nd energy scales are often large
enough for classical mechanics to be at least approximately valid. Using softened potential
model, the classical dynamics of the one-dimensional hydro gen molecular ion H+
2interacting
with an intense laser pulse are detailed [15-16].
There are two important and realistic examples of laser driv en systems, where nonlinear
dynamics has played a major role, which have been traditiona lly studied. One is the laser
driven hydrogen atom that is the fundamental system in atomi c physics, the other is the laser
driven hydrogen molecular ion H+
2, which is the fundamental diatomic molecular system in
molecular physics. Bellow, we shall show our classical calc ulation of the high-order harmonic
generation of these two fundamental systems. The outline of this paper is as follows. The
regularized model and the corresponding initial microcano nical distribution are presented in
the next section. In section III, we show the numerical resul ts in details. A briefly summary
and discussion is given out in the last section.
II. MODEL AND INITIAL MICROCANONICAL DISTRIBUTION
A. Regularized model of laser driven hydrogen atom
In this article, we consider a classical hydrogen atom, with an infinite mass nucleus fixed
at the origin of coordinates, interacting with a high intens e laser field which is linearly po-
larized along the z−axis, and with the electric field component ε(t). Thus the Hamiltonian
4in atomic units in Cartesian coordinates is
H=H0+Hi,
H0=1
2p2−1
r, Hi=−zε(t). (1)
where, r=√x2+y2+z2andp2=p2
x+p2
y+p2
z. Apparently, the above Hamiltonian has a
Coulomb singularity corresponding to electron-nucleus co llision. To remedy the singularity,
we introduce the parabolic coordinates ( u, v, φ )
x=uvcosφ, y=uvsinφ, z= (v2−u2)/2. (2)
and a new fictive time scale τ
dt/dτ =G(u, v) =v2+u2. (3)
In order to implement regularization, following the notati on of Szebenhely [17], regarding the
motion time tand the negative total energy −Eas generalized coordinate and generalized
momentum respectively, then the Hamiltonian function in ex tended space becomes into
H∗=H−E≡0 =H∗(x, y, z, t ;px, py, pz,−E) (4)
For the sake of obtaining the regularized Hamiltonian, we in troduce the third category
generating function F3(px, py, pz,−E;u, v, φ, t ), then obtain
x(u, v, φ ) =−∂F3
∂px, y(u, v, φ ) =−∂F3
∂py, z(u, v, φ ) =−∂F3
∂pz, t(u, v, φ ) =−∂F3
∂E. (5)
So the third category generating function F3(px, py, pz,−E;u, v, φ, t ) is in the form of
F3=−xpx−ypy−zpz+Et,
=−uvcosφpx−uvsinφpy−1
2(v2−u2)pz+Et. (6)
The new momenta ( pu, pv, pφ,−E) are related with old momenta ( px, py, pz,−E) by
pu=−∂F3
∂u=vcosφpx+vsinφpy−upz,
pv=−∂F3
∂v=ucosφpx+usinφpy−vpz,
pφ=−∂F3
∂φ=−uvsinφpx+uvcosφpy,
E=∂F3
∂t=E. (7)
5Then the regularized Hamiltonian can be expressed as
K=dt
dτH∗=G(u, v)(H−E)≡0,
=1
2[p2
u+p2
v+ (u−2+v−2)p2
φ]−2−E(u2+v2)−1
2(v4−u4)ε(t). (8)
If we define
Ku=1
2[p2
u+u−2p2
φ]−1−Eu2+1
2u4ε(t),
Kv=1
2[p2
v+v−2p2
φ]−1−Ev2−1
2v4ε(t). (9)
In the field-free case, ε(t) = 0, Ku(=−Kv) is the component of the Laplace-Runge-Lenz
vector along z−axis, i.e.,Ku=−Kv=Rz. The equations of motion can be derived from
the above regularized Hamiltonian, as the following:
dφ
dτ=∂K
∂pφ=pφ(u−2+v−2),dpφ
dτ=−∂K
∂φ= 0, (10)
du
dτ=∂K
∂pu=pu,dpu
dτ=−∂K
∂u= 2Eu+p2
φu−3−2u3ε(t), (11)

dτ=∂K
∂pv=pv,dpv
dτ=−∂K
∂v= 2Ev+p2

and
dE
dτ=∂K
∂t=1
2(u4−v4)dε(t)
dt,dt
dτ=−∂K
∂E=G(u, v). (13)
Apparently, pφis a constant which corresponding to the component of angula r momentum
along z−axis.
B. Regularized model of laser driven hydrogen molecular ion H+
2
Within Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we can assume that two protons are fixed at
the positions AandB, with a distance Raway from each other, in the locations (0 ,0,−R/2)
and (0 ,0, R/2) of the Cartesian coordinates system. A single electron at (x, y, z ) is subject
6to the Coulomb attraction of both protons and the interactio n of the laser. Let rAbe its
distance from A, and rBbe its distance from B. Within the dipole approximation, the
Hamiltonian in atomic units is
H=H0+Hi,
H0=1
2p2−1/rA−1/rB, Hi=−zε(t). (14)
where, ε(t) is the electric field of the laser pulse, Hiis the interacting Hamiltonian. Ap-
parently, the above Hamiltonian has singularities at point srA= 0 and rB= 0, which
corresponds to electron-proton collision. To overcome thi s barrier, regularization has to be
performed. Define the new coordinates ( u, v, φ ) as
x=−R
2sinusinhvcosφ, y=−R
2sinusinhvsinφ, z=R
2cosucoshv. (15)
and introduce the new fictive time scale τsatisfying
dt/dτ =G(u, v) =rArB=R2(cosh2v−cos2u)/4. (16)
Similar to the previous subsection, regarding the motion ti metand the negative total energy
−Eas generalized coordinate and generalized momentum respec tively, then we can write
the Hamiltonian function in extended space as
H∗=H−E≡0 =H∗(x, y, z, t ;px, py, pz,−E) (17)
Introducing the third category generating function F3(px, py, pz,−E;u, v, φ, t ), which satisfies
F3=−R
2sinusinhvcosφpx−R
2sinusinhvsinφpy−R
2cosucoshvpz+Et. (18)
Thus momenta ( pu, pv, pφ,−E) are related with old momenta ( px, py, pz,−E) by
pu=−∂F3
∂u=R
2cosusinhvcosφpx+R
2cosusinhvsinφpy−R
2sinusinhvpz,
pv=−∂F3
∂v=R
2sinucoshvcosφpx+R
2sinucoshvsinφpy−R
2sinucoshvpz,
pφ=−∂F3
∂φ=−R
2sinusinhvsinφpx+R
2sinusinhvcosφpy,
E=∂F3
∂t=E. (19)
7And the regularized Hamiltonian is
K=dt
dτH∗=G(u, v)(H−E)≡0,
=1
2[p2
u+p2
v+ (csc2u+ csch2v)p2
φ]−Rcoshv−(E−Hi)

where, Hi=−zε(t) = (−R/2) cos ucoshvε(t). Obviously, pφis a constant, which corre-
sponds to the component of the angular momentum which along t hez−axis. Ifpφis equal
to zero, the electron is constrained in a plane which can be ch osen as y= 0, corresponding
to a two-dimensional motion. In the field-free case, ε(t) = 0, this two-dimensional model
corresponds to the classical hydrogen molecular ion in grou nd-state. Equations of the mo-

The motion of the classical field-free hydrogen atom is perio dic, then it need only a pair of
conjugated action-angle variables [20]
H0=E0=−1

The corresponding angle is given by the Kepler’s equation
θ=u−esinu. (29)
This means θis the mean anomaly of the free orbits. The eccentric anomaly ucan be
obtained from r=a(1−ecosu). Here, ris the distance from the electron to the origin, ais
the instantaneous semimajor axis which satisfies a=−1/(2E0),eis the eccentricity of the
free orbits satisfying e=√2E0L2+ 1,Lis the total angular momentum.
The motion of the ground-state hydrogen molecular ion H+
2is quasi-periodic, it need two
pairs of action-angle variables. With elliptic integrals, action Iucan be expressed as follows.

Generally, a single trajectory lacks the inversion symmetr y of the real physical sys-
tems. So the spectrum obtained from a single trajectory exhi bits unphysical even har-
monics. A natural way to remedy the unphysical even harmonic s is to consider an en-
semble of trajectories, evolving from an initial microcano nical distribution with inver-
sion symmetry. For a chaotic system, the initial distributi on can be generated with
Monte-Carlo method. However, for an integrable system, the distribution generated by
Monte-Carlo method does not possess of ergodicity. We find th at the points on the
same equienergy surface generated by action-angle variabl es with regular steps possess
of good ergodicity. To reconstruct the inversion symmetry, there must exist pairs of
(x0, y0, z0;px0, py0, pz0) and ( −x0,−y0,−z0;−px0,−py0,−pz0) in the initial distribution. For
the regularized model for hydrogen atom, it corresponds to p airs of ( u0, v0, φ0;pu0, pv0, pφ0)
and (u0, v0, φ0+π;pu0, pv0, pφ0). And for the regularized hydrogen molecular ion H+
2, it
corresponds to pairs of ( u0, v0, φ0;pu0, pv0, pφ0) and ( u0+π, v0, φ0;pu0, pv0, pφ0).
III. NUMERICAL SIMULATION
The numerical computational procedure is based upon the cla ssical trajectory Monte
Carlo (CTMC) method [20-21]. CTMC simulation procedure inv olves three stages, (i) choice
of initial conditions, (ii) numerical integration of equat ion of motion, and (iii) categorization
10of each trajectory as excitation, charge transfer or ioniza tion. In the process of numerical
integrating, numerical accuracy and computing time are two primary aspects that must be
considered. We use the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method wit h variable steps to perform
the numerical calculation. Note also that computer can not d eal with singularity, which
corresponds to electron-nucleus collision, to overcome th is difficulty, we have implemented
regularization. With complete regularization, numerical simulation can be established with
required precision before, at, and, after collision succes sfully.
To obtain the harmonic spectra, our procedure also calculat e the averaged dipole moment
of the excited trajectories with pairs of inversion symmetr ic initial conditions in the same
distribution. Having determined the actual trajectories o f the electron, one can easily obtain
the component of the averaged dipole moment, which along the laser polarization direction.
Then the harmonic spectra of the driven dipole is straightfo rwardly obtained from it’s power

The time-dependent dipole moment µz(t) of a single trajectory along the laser polariza-
tion direction sensitively depends on the laser intensity. Fig.1 shows the time evolution of
the dipole of the hydrogen molecular ion with initial energy E0=−1.1034hatree , inter-
nuclear distance R= 2.00bohr, laser wavelength λ= 600 nmand different laser intensity.
And some dipoles of the hydrogen atom and their power spectra are presented in Fig.2,
with initial energy E0=−0.5hatree , laser wavelength λ= 532 nmand different laser
11intensity. With the increasing of the laser intensity, the o scillations of the dipole moments
are modulated gradually, and it follows a regular pattern wi th both high and low frequency
components. Such patterns are independent of initial condi tions. When the laser intensity is
large enough, ionization takes place, which strongly modifi es the subsequent time evolution
of the dipole moment.
The power spectra obtained from a single trajectory of the la ser driven hydrogen molecu-
lar ion, which with initial energy E0=−1.1034hatree , internuclear distance R= 2.00bohr,
laser wavelength λ= 600 nmand different laser intensity, are presented in Fig.3. The fir st
one corresponds to the field-free case. For the hydrogen atom , it possesses of only regularly
decreasing peaks locating at multiples (harmonics) of Kepl er’s frequency, that is, ωn=nω0,
forn= 1,2,3· ··, which manifests that the free motion is periodic. While for the hydrogen
molecular ion, the free motion is quasi-periodic, it appear s regularly decreasing peaks locat-
ing at two different characteristic frequencies and their co mbinations, i.e., at nω01+mω02,
forn= 0,1,2,3· ··,m= 0,1,2,3· ··andn+m >0. For the laser driven systems, the peaks
of harmonic spectra depend strongly on the laser intensity. In addition to the origin peaks,
a dominant line at the laser frequency ωLappears, which is the Rayleigh component in the
light scattered by the atoms and molecular ions. High-order harmonics, which consist of
both odd and even components, do appear in the spectra, and th eir orders and strengths
increase with the increasing of the laser intensity. For a lo w laser intensity, i.e., in the
perturbative regime, the characteristic peaks dominate th e power spectrum. For a proper
laser intensity, the plateau structure containing both odd and even harmonics appears. For
a larger laser intensity, because of the presence of chaos, t he spectra become noisier even
the motion is bound. For a strong enough laser intensity, the motion becomes unbound and
the corresponding spectrum is dominated by a very noise back ground, which is generated
by the ionized electrons, the only line surviving being the o ne at the laser frequency, which
corresponds to the light scattered by the asymptotically fr ee electron Thomson scattering.
To eliminate the unphysical even harmonics, averaging an en semble of trajectories evolv-
ing from an inversion symmetric distribution is necessary. The time evolution of the averaged
12dipole, which evolve from a microcanonical ensemble of 5000 trajectories, are presented in
Fig.4, the first one corresponds to the hydrogen atom with ini tial energy E0=−0.5hatree ,
laser wavelength λ= 532 nmand laser intensity I= 5.0×1014W/cm2, the second one corre-
sponds to the hydrogen molecular ion with initial energy E0=−1.1034hatree , internuclear
distance R= 2.00bohr, laser wavelength λ= 600 nmand laser intensity I= 1.0×1014
W/cm2. Comparing with the evolution of the dipole of a single traje ctory, one can easily
find that the oscillation of the averaged dipole is smooth and it globally follows the laser
oscillation.
The spectra obtained from an ensemble of trajectories are sh owed in Fig.5 and Fig.6.
Fig.5 is the harmonic spectra of the ground-state hydrogen a toms interacting with the laser
pulses with λ= 532 nmand different laser intensity. Fig.6 is harmonic spectra of t he
hydrogen molecular ion with initial energy E0=−1.1034hatree , internuclear distance
R= 2.00bohr, laser wavelength λ= 600 nmand different laser intensity. As a consequence
of averaging process, the unphysical even harmonics are rem edied really. Within a proper
laser intensity range, the plateau structure that only poss esses of odd harmonics appears. As
pointed out previously, at a higher intensity, the spectra b ecome noisier even the ionization
does not happen because of the effects of chaos. This indicate s that the chaos cause the
noise of the harmonic spectra. When the laser intensity is hi gh enough, the ionization takes
place, thus the noise background conceals the high-order ha rmonics. This means that the
onset of ionization follows the onset of chaos and the ioniza tion suppresses the harmonic
generation.
IV. SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION
In summary, within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and using the classical trajec-
tory method,we have calculated the high-order harmonic gen eration spectra of the hydrogen
atom and the hydrogen molecular ion interacting with ultras hort intense laser pulses. The
other multi-photon phenomena, such as multi-photon ioniza tion and above threshold disso-
13ciation, can also be simulated. In our subsequent calculati ons, the dynamics of the electron
is investigated by numerical integrating the equations of m otion using regularized coordi-
nates. To eliminate the unphysical even harmonics of a singl e trajectory, averaging over an
ensemble of trajectories evolving from an initial microcan onical distribution with inversion
symmetry is necessary. Such distribution is constructed us ing action-angle variables. A
plateau structure in the spectra with only odd harmonics is o bserved within a proper laser
intensity range of about 1014W/cm2. From our numerical results, we observe that the high
order harmonics are cut off at a special order harmonic. At hig her laser intensities, chaos
introduces noise into the spectra even though the motion is s till bound. Finally as the
intensity is further increased, ionization takes place, an d the harmonics disappear.
These results are qualitatively consistent with recent qua ntum calculations [16] and ex-
perimental observations [1-5], but the cutoff order Nmof the plateau structure is not precisely
consistent with formula Nm= (Ip+3.17Up)/¯hωL[27], here, Ipis the ionization potential and
Up=e2E2
M/4meω2
Ldenotes the quiver energy or the ponderomotive energy of an e lectron.
As an example, when the laser intensity I= 1014W/cm2and wavelength λ= 600 nm,
the ionization potential Ipof the ground-state hydrogen molecular ion is 1 .1034hatree
(29.77eV= 14.50 ¯hωL), the quiver energy Up= 3.36eV(= 1.63 ¯hωL), then Nm= 19, and
when I= 7.5×1013W/cm2,Nm= 18; however, from our simulation, the harmonic plateau
are both cut off at 17, and for very large intensity (above 1015W/cm2) the high-order har-
monics are concealed by the noises. To obtain quantitative r esults, we have to integrate the
time-dependent Schr..odinger equation, this can be realized with the split-operat or method
[22]. For the hydrogen molecular ion, within BOA, a proper in ternuclear distance Rwill
enhance the high-order harmonic generation[16], and it wil l be interesting to go beyond the
Born-Oppenheimer approximation to investigate what furth er interesting insights can be
obtained when the nuclear motion is taken into account [23-2 4].
In our model, we only consider the non-relativistic case wit h dipole approximation. When
the laser is sufficiently intense, photoelectrons of relativ istic energies can be produced, ne-
cessitating a fully relativistic treatment [25]. The dipol e approximation is no longer valid,
14and the magnetic field is not only present, but acquires an imp ortance similar to that of the
electric field. And even before the appearance of the relativ istic photoelectrons, the effects
of the magnetic field may be very important too [26]. Due to the wiggly motion and the
acceleration of the electron near the outermost turning poi nts induced by the magnetic field,
the cut-off order of the harmonic plateau maybe higher.

R. I. Khrapko1
ABSTRACT
Rest mass takes place of inertial mass in modern physics text books. It seems to be wrong. This
topic has been considered by the author in the article [1, 2, 3 ]. Additional arguments to a confirmation
of such a thesis are presented here.
“Einstein’s theory of the universe, based on the
principle that all motion is relative, and showing
that mass varies with its velocity, while space-time
is a fourth dimension.”
A. S. Hornby et al. [4]
The end of 20-th century was marked by a great mish-mash of defi nitions of mass.
1. REST MASS
All was clear in the beginning of the century when the theory o f relativity was not yet created.
Mass, m, denoted something like amount of substance or quantity of m atter. And at the same time
mass was the quantitative measure of inertia of a body.
Inertia of a body determines momentum Pof the body at given velocity vof the body, i. e. it
is a proportionality factor in the formula
P=mv. (1)
The factor mis referred to as inertial mass.
But mass as a measure of inertia of a body can be defined also by t he formula
F=ma: (2)
By this formula, the more is mass, the less is the acceleratio n of a body at given force. Masses m
defined by the formulae (1) and (2) are equal because the formu la (2) is a consequence of the formula
(1) if mass does not depend on time and speed.
Thus,
“mass is the quantitative or numerical measure of body’s ine rtia, that is of its resistance
to being accelerated” [5].
The same value of mass can be measured by weighing a body, that is by measuring of the
attraction to the Earth or to any other given body (which mass is designated M). Thus, the same
massmappears in the Newton gravitational law
F=γMm
r2, (3)
but here mis referred to as gravitational (passive) mass. This fact ex presses an equivalence of inertial
and gravitational masses. Due to this equivalence, the acce leration due to gravity does not depend
on the nature and the mass of a body:
g=γM
r2. (4)

1“mass is the quantity of matter in a body. Mass may also be cons idered as the equivalent
of inertia, or the resistance offered by a body to change of mot ion (i. e. acceleration).
Masses are compared by weighting them.” [6].
2. INERTIAL MASS AT HIGH SPEEDS
However, the special theory of relativity has shown that no b ody can be accelerated up to the
speed of light because the acceleration of a body decreases t o zero when the speed of the body
approaches the speed of light, however large the accelerati ng force is. This implies that inertia of a
body increases to infinity when the speed of the body tends to t he speed of light, though the “amount
of substance” of the body obviously remains constant.
More correctly, special relativity has shown that the momen tumPof a body at any speed is
parallel to velocity v. Therefore the formula P=mvis valid at large speeds, if the coefficient m,
that is inertial mass, is accepted to be increased with speed in the fashion:
m=m0/radicalBig
1−v2/c2, (5)
where c is the speed of light. That is, the expression
P=m0v/radicalBig
1−v2/c2, (6)
is valid for the momentum of a body.
In these formulae m0is the value of mass which was spoken about in the beginning. F or a
determination of the value, the body should be slowed down an d, after it, the formula (1) or (2)
must be applied at small speed. The value received by this met hod is called rest mass . This mass,
by definition, does not vary on accelerating a body. Therefor e, the formulae (1), (2), (3) must be
written as follow: P=m0v,F=m0a,F=γMm 0/r2. However, for small speeds, due to formula
(5), inertial mass is equal to rest mass, m=m0, and consequently the record (1), (2), (3 ) is correct
in the “before special relativity section”.
To emphasize the fact that inertial mass mdepends on speed it is named relativistic mass : it
appears to have different values from points of view of variou s observers if the observers have relative
velocities. Meanwhile, there is a preferred value of inerti al mass m0. This value is observed by an
observer which has no velocity relative to the body. Such a pr operty of inertial mass is similar to
the property of time: observers which are in motion relative to a clock measure longer time intervals
then the time interval measured by an observer relative to wh om the clock is at rest. This time
interval is called the proper time.
Thus,
“mass is the physical measure of the principal inertial prop erty of a body, i. e., its
resistance to change of motion. At speeds small compared wit h the speed of light, the
mass of a body is independent of its speed. At higher speeds, t he mass of a body depends
on its speed relative to the observer according to the relati on:
m=m0/radicalBig
1−v2/c2,
where m0is the mass of the body by an observer at rest with respect to th e body, vis
the speed of the body relative to the observer who finds its mas s to be m.” [7].
2If you wish to check up the formula (6), you should measure vel ocityvand momentum Pof a
body. The momentum of a body is measured by the following oper ation. A moving body is braked
by a barrier, and during its braking the force F(t) acting on the barrier is measured. The initial
momentum of the body, by definition, is equal to the integral
P=/integraldisplay
F(t)dt. (7)
It is postulated that this integral does not depend on detail s of braking, that is on a form of function
F(t).
We should notice that the formulas (5) and (6) remain valid fo r object which has no rest mass,
m0= 0, for example, for photon or neutrino (if one assumes that r est mass of neutrino is equal to
zero). Such objects have inertial mass and momentum, but the y should move with the speed of light.
It is impossible to stop them: they disappear if being stoppe d. Nevertheless, despite their speed is
constant, their inertial mass appear to be different for vari ous observers. However, in the case of
such objects, no preferred value of inertial mass exists. Or , it is possible to say, the preferred value
of inertial mass is equal to zero.
We have detected the increase of inertia of a body at large spe ed by a reduction of its acceleration
at large speed. Thus we have referred to formula (2). And it is allowable. However, just because of
the increase of inertial mass with the body velocity, the for mula (2) can change its form. The point
is that at fixed acceleration, a force directed in parallel wi th the velocity should supply not only the
increase of speed of available mass
m=m0/radicalBig
1−v2/c2. (5)
It should also supply an increase of mass:
F=d
dtP=d
dt
m0v/radicalBig
1−v2/c2
=m0a/radicalBig
(1−v2/c2)3. (8)
The coefficientm0/radicalBig
(1−v2/c2)3
is called “longitudinal mass” [8].
If the force is perpendicular to the velocity and so does not c hange speed and inertial mass of a
body, the formula F=madoes not change its form:
F=m0a/radicalBig
1−v2/c2. (9)
Using this circumstance, R.Feynman put forward a simple ope rational definition of inertial mass
m. “We may measure mass, for example, by swinging an object in a circle at a certain speed and
measuring how much force we need to keep it in the circle.” [9] .
When the force has an arbitrary direction, the proportional ity factor in formula (2) must be
considered as a certain operator (tensor) which transforms vector ato vector F:F= ˆma. The
operator ˆ mdepends on speed and a direction of the velocity of a body and, generally speaking,
changes a direction of a vector. It is easy to accept. You see, velocity vis a property of a body, but
3a force Facting at the body is an external agent with respect to the bod y. It is clear that a result
of the influence of the force, that is an acceleration of a body , can depend on a correlation between
directions of the vectors Fandv.
3. GRAVITATIONAL MASS AT HIGHER SPEEDS
At the same time the general theory of relativity has shown th at not only inertia of a body, but
also its weight increases with speed by the law (5):
P=γMm 0
r2·/radicalBig
1−v2/c2.
For example, the formula (8) for a body falling downwards wit h speed vtake, roughly speaking, the
form:γMm 0
r2·/radicalBig
1−v2/c2=m0g
r2·/radicalBig
(1−v2/c2)3.
I. e. the acceleration due to gravity is
g=γM(1−v2/c2)
r2.
So that inertial mass satisfies the principle of equivalence at any speed vof a body.
The exact formula for acceleration can be received within th e framework of the general theory of
relativity as is shown in Sec. 8:
g=γM(1−v2/c2)
r·/radicalBig
r(r−rg), r g= 2γM/c2. (10)
This formula is a relativistic generalization of the formul a (4).
4. ENERGY
Furthermore, special relativity has shown that an incremen t of inertial mass, m−m0, multiplied
on square of the speed of light is equal to kinetic energy of a b ody:
(m−m0)c2=Ek. (11)
“A result of the theory that mass can be ascribed to kinetic en ergy is that the effective
mass of the electron should vary with its velocities accordi ng to the expression
m=m0/radicalBig
1−v2/c2.
This has been confirmed experimentally.” [6].
Therefore if we attach a rest energy E0=m0c2to a body at rest, the complete energy E=E0+Ek
of a body appears to be proportional to inertial mass:
E=mc2. (12)
This famous Einstein formula proclaims an equivalence betw een inertial mass and energy. The
two, up to now, different concepts are incorporated in a singl e one.
Thus,
4“the formula E=mc2equates a quantity of mass mto a quantity of energy E. The rela-
tionship was developed from the relativity theory (special ), but has been experimentally
confirmed” [7].
We should notice that the formula (12), as well as formulae (5 ) and (6), are valid for an object
which has no rest mass and rest energy, m0= 0.
If you wish to check up the formula (11) and simultaneously to make sure that special relativity
is valid, you must measure the inertial mass and the rest mass of a moving body as it was explained
above and, besides this, you must measure kinetic energy of t he body:
Ek=/integraldisplay
F(l)dl.
HereF(l) is the force acting on the barrier during the body braking an dF(l)dlis a scalar product
of the force Fand an infinitesimal vector dlof displacement of the barrier. (See [10]).
The formula (11) connects inertial mass, rest mass and kinet ic energy. Using formula (6), it is
easy to connect inertial mass, rest mass and momentum:
m2
0=m2−P2/c2. (13)
For zero rest mass particles we receive:
mc=P,orE=Pc.
5. SYSTEM of BODIES
If several bodies are considered to be a system of bodies, the n, as is known, their momenta and
their inertial masses are summed up. For two bodies this take the form:
P=P1+P2, m =m1+m2. (14)
In other words, momentum and inertial mass are additive.
The case of the rest mass is entirely different. Equations (13 ), (14) imply that rest mass of a pair
of bodies with rest masses m01,m02is equal not to the sum m01+m02but to a complex expression
dependent on the momenta P1,P2:
m0=/radicalBigg/parenleftbigg/radicalBig
m2
01+P2
1/c2+/radicalBig
m2
02+P2
2/c2/parenrightbigg2
−(P1+P2)2/c2. (15)
Thus, rest mass is, generally speaking, not additive. For ex ample, a pair of photons each having
no rest mass does have a rest mass if the photons move in differe nt directions while the pair has no
rest mass if the photons move in the same direction.
Nevertheless, the three quantities, P,m,m0, satisfy the conservation law. That is, they remain
constant with time for a closed system.
However, it seems to be unsuitable to consider rest mass of a s ystem of bodies because of the
nonadditivity of rest mass. It is meaningful to speak only ab out a sum of rest masses of separate
bodies of system. So, when one speaks that “rest mass of final s ystem increases in an inelastic
encounter” [11], the rest mass after the encounter is compar ed with the sum of rest masses of
5bodies before the encounter, but not with the system rest mas s which is conserved thanks to the
nonadditivity. Just so, when one speaks about the mass defec t at nuclear reactions, for example, at
synthesis of deuterium, p+n=D+γ, the sum of the rest masses of proton and neutron is compared
with the sum of the rest masses of deuterium and γ-quantum, but not with the system rest mass
determined by the formula (15).
6. A COMPARISON of MASSES
And here a problem arises. Which of the two masses, the rest ma ss or the inertial mass, must we
name by a simple word mass, designate by the letter mwithout indexes, and recognize as a ”main”
mass? It is not a terminological problem. A serious psycholo gic underlying reason is present here.
To decide which of the masses is the main mass let us repeat onc e again properties of both masses.
Rest mass is a constant quantity for a given body and denotes “ amount of substance of a body”.
It corresponds to a rudimentary Newton belief that the masse s stayed constant. But, rest mass
is not equivalent to the energy of a moving object, is not equi valent to gravitational mass, rest
mass is nonadditive and is not used as a characteristic of a sy stem of bodies or particles. This last
circumstance prevents the conservation law displaying. Pa rticles moving with the speed of light have
no rest mass. The operational definition of rest mass of a part icle assumes its deceleration up to a
small speed without use of an information about current cond ition of the particle.
Inertial mass is relativistic mass. Its value depends on obs erver’s velocity. Inertial mass is
equivalent to energy and to gravitational mass, Inertial ma ss is additive, it satisfies the conservation
law. The operational definition of inertial mass is based on t he simple formula bf P = mv.
From our point of view, inertial mass has to be called mass and to be designate m, as it is done
in the present article.
7. UNDERLYING PSYCHOLOGIC REASON
Unfortunately, plenty of physicists considers the rest mas s as a main mass, designates it by m,
instead of m0, and discriminates the inertial mass. These physicists agr ee, for example, that the
mass of gas which is at rest increases with temperature since its energy increases with temperature.
But, probably, there is a psychologic barrier that prevents them from explaining this increase by an
increase of masses of molecules owing to the increase of thei r thermal speed.
These physics sacrifice the concept of mass as a measure of ine rtia, sacrifice the additivity of
mass and the equivalence of mass and energy to a label attache d to a particle with information
about “amount of substance” because the label corresponds t he customary Newton belief in invariable
mass. And so they think that a radiation which, according to E instein [12], “transfers inertia between
emitting and absorbing bodies” has no mass.
Now inertial mass is excluded from textbooks and from popula r science literature [11, 13, 14],
but this phenomenon is hidden by the fact that rest mass adher ents busily call rest mass mass, not
rest mass , and the word massis associated with a measure of inertia.
The main psychologic difficulty is to identify mass and energy (which varies), to accept these two
essences as one. It is easy to accept the formula E0=m0c2for a body at rest. But it is more difficult
to accept a validity of the formula E=mc2for any speed. The famous Einstein relation between
mass and energy, that is a symbol of 20-th century, seems “ugl y” to L. B. Okun’ [15].
Rest mass adherents are not, probably, capable to accept an i dea of relativistic mass the same
as early opponents of special relativity could not accept th e relativity of time. The lifetime of an
unstable particle varies with velocity as its inertial mass :
τ=τ0//radicalBig
1−v2/c2.
6It is appropriate to quote here from Max Planck:
“Great new scientific idea is seldom inculcated on opponents by means of a gradual
persuasion. Saul seldom becomes Paul. As a matter of fact, op ponents gradually die out,
and the new generation is accustomed to the new idea from the v ery beginning.” [16].
Unfortunately, the great idea of relativistic mass is caref ully isolated from youth. Now the article [1,
2, 3] is rejected by editors of the following journals: “Russ ian Physics Journal”, “Kvant” (Moscow),
“American Journal of Physics”, “Physics Education” (Brist ol). “Physics Today”.
8. SCHWARZSCHILD SPACE
Here we will arrive at the formula (10) considering Schwarzs child space-time [17] with the interval:
ds2=r−rg
rc2dt2−r
r−rgdr2−r2(dθ2+ sin2θdϕ2)
We get the equations of radial geodesic lines from the formul ae using the connection coefficients
Γi

First integral of the equation (16) is:
r−rg
r·dt
ds=ǫ=Const. (18)
We will record now an expression for the acceleration a takin g into account (18) and the fact that
relationships between distance land time t, on the one hand, and coordinates r,t, on the other, are
given by the formulae
dl=/radicalBiggr
r−rgdr, dτ =/radicalBigg

In this way, we have expressed the acceleration ain terms of d2r/ds2.Now we can use the equation
(17) and then, having reverted to landt, we can arrive at

1).On some Implications of (Symmetric) Special Relativity to High
Energy Physics
Ernst Karl Kunst
Im Spicher Garten 5
53639 Königswinter
Germany
Beside the rise of total cross sections or interaction radii of colliding high
energetic particles and the shrinkage of mean-free-paths of ultra relativistic
particles (nucleii) in material media (anomalons), which have been shown to
be of special relativistic origin [1], still other phenomena in high energy
physics may arise from relativistic kinematics. In particular this seems to be
the case with the EMC-effect and the so called atmosperic neutrino anomaly.
Key Words: Special Relativity - quantization of velocity, length and time - EMC-
effect - relativistic aberration - atmosperic neutrino anomaly
In the mentioned work on relativistic kinematics has been shown a preferred rest
frame of nature (/G28) in any inertial motion to exist and any velocity (v) be0 0
symmetrically composite or quantized. From this a symmetric modification of the
Lorentz transformation follows between a frame of reference S considered to be at1
rest according to the principle of relativity and a moving frame S2
where
The dashed symbols designate the moving system S and the open circles the2
system Sat rest, now considered moving relative to /G28 and S' . Likewise the1 0 2
observer resting in Swill deduce the respective transformation:2 x2

(2)Furthermore, due to the absolute symmetry relative to /G28 must be valid:0
and always /G0Dv/G0D = /G0D-v/G0D. If the upper lines of the of the above tansformation0 0
equations are inserted into the second lines, the identity results:
Further main results of the modified theory of relativistic kinematics among others
are the Lorentz transformation not to predict the Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction of
the dimension (/G0Cx) parallel to the velocity vector, as invented by Fitzgerald and
Lorentz to account for the null-result of the Michelson-Morley experiment on moving
Earth, but rather an expansion /G0Cx’ = /G0Cx/G0B - analogously to the relativistic time0
dilation /G0Ct’ = /G0Ct/G0B. Accordingly the volume V’ of an inertially moving body will any0
observer resting in a frame considered at rest seem enhanced
where V means volume. Among others it has been demonstrated, this expansion of
/G0Cx (or V) be the cause of the experimentally observed increase of the interaction
radius respectively cross section of elementary particles with rising energy
(velocity), as determined in collision experiments and as is known from studies of
cosmic radiation, according to the equations

Hence the mean geometrical interaction- radius is given by
Because v /G67 v (conventional velocity) it follows /G0B/G67/G0B (conventional Lorentz factor)0 0
so that predictions on the grounds of symmetric special relativity will deviate from
the conventional view, the more the higher the velocity (see [1]).
The Relativistic Origin of the “EMC-Effect”
The enhan cement of the geometrical cross section or interaction radius according to
the above equations also delivers an explanation of the so called EMC-effect in a
direct way.
Consider the simplest case if the dimensionless variable x /G19 0 so that the high
energetic incident particle (electron, muon etc.) more or less traverses the nucleus,
encountering on an average
nucleons within the nucleus. In this case the loss of momentum or energy of the
outbound pa rticle must be a relative one depend ing on the mean cross section the
number (n) of nucleons constituting the nucleus presents to the moving particle.b1/3
Therefore, if ultra relativistic velocity or momentum per incident particle relative to
the respective nucleus is assumed to be equal must the ratio of the relative
dampening of momentum of the outwards moving particles within different nuclei
independen tly of the respective ultra relativistc velocity or energy according to (2)
be given by
whereby n' > n. Our formula delivers at x = 0 the ratios D/He = 0.95, D/C = 0.88,bb
D/Al = 0.82, D/Ca = 0.80, C/Su = 0.84, which results agree very well with experiment
[2],[3].
On the other end of the scale, where x /G19 1, according to (3) the "shadowing effect"
of the growing relative interaction radius of the respective nucleus relative to the
incident particle must be considered. The scattering probability of the particle is
dependen t on the growing of the interaction radius of the respective target nucleus
and, therewith, its dampening of momentum in dependen ce of the number of (n)b1/3
nucleons constituting the relative diameter of the nucleus at a ratio of R(x /G191)

EMC-effect is of the same physical (relativistic) origin as the rise of the total cross
section or interaction radius of hadrons in high energetic collisions (see [1]).
Relativistic Aberration (Doppler Boosting) as a Possible Cause of the
Atmospheric Neutrino Results from Super-Kamiokande and Kamiokande
Consider a light signal or an ultra relativistic particle moving relative to S' according2
to the equations

wherefrom in connection with the above identity equations the aberration law of
special relativity is deduced
According to this theory (5) is valid as long as the systems S° and S' are1 2
considered freely moving relative to each other and no direct physical contact
(collision) occurs. In the following will be shown that the relativistic aberration effect
(5) predicts the short fall of muon neutrinos coming up through Earth, known as the
atmosperic neutrino anomaly.
Experimental results from the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino
measurements show at large distances from the neutrino generation, especially
from Earth’s far side, a significant suppression of the observed number of muon
neutrinos with respect to the theoretical expectation [4]. For a relativistic analysis isarctan /G0B0sin /G05/G1Fµ

of special interest that the muon neutrinos originate from two separate decay
processes about 20 kilometers above: first a high energetic pion decays into a muon
and a muon neutrino (/G1F) and in a further step the muon into an electron, an electronµ
neutrino (/G1F) and a further muon neutrino. Thus, considering the decay modes only,e
the ratio of muon to electron neutrinos generated in the atmosphere can be
predicted with confidence to be R = 2. We underline especially the decay of the/G1F(µ/e)
muon leading to the simultaneous generation of a /G1F and the /G1F. µ e
The Super-Kamiokande team compared particularly neutrinos coming down
(downgoing) from the sky (l /G11 20 km) with those coming upward (upgoing) through
the Earth (l /G11 12800 km). Because the cosmic rays and the resulting neutrinos rain
down from all directions, the ratio should be R = R /R = 1. For/G1F(µ/e)upgoing /G1F(µ/e)downgoing
electron neutrinos Super-Kamiokande caught equal numbers going up and coming
down: R/R /G11 1, however, for muon neutrinos in 535 ope ration days/G1F(e)upgoing /G1F(e)downgoing
256 downward and only 139 upward ones have been counted. Furthermore, the
expected ratio R /G11 2 has been found, but only R /G11 1, with/G1F(µ/e)downgoing /G1F(µ/e)upgoing
systematic variations depending on the the distance l to the point of neutrino
generation or angle of the incoming neutrinos. The number of muon neutrinos
decreases linearly from a maximum at l /G11 500 km to l /G11 6400 - 7000 km, leveling off
and remaining roughly constant up to l /G11 12800 km at the far side of Earth.
This observed short fall of muon neutrinos with increasing distance l from the
detector is currently interpreted as evidence for /G1F oscillations [4].µ
Consider a muon decaying at l /G11 20 km above the detector. At the time of /G07-decay
its ultra relativistic velocity v may result in a Lorentz factor of /G0B = 10 (which seems0 04
quite reasonable) and, to consider a simple case, the electron shall be emitted at
some small angle « /G25/2 relative to the muon’s direction. The neutrinos,
counterbalancing the electron’s momentum, will be emitted at larger angles
/G05 > /G05 if p > p (which we assume). If for instance in the rest frame of the/G1F(µ) /G1F(e) /G1F(µ) /G1F(e)
decaying muon for reasons of simplicity /G05 /G11 0° and /G0C/G05 = /G05 - /G05 = 45° (90°,/G1F(e) /G1F(µ) /G1F(e)
135°), equation (5) predicts at l = 20 km a lateral displacement of 0.83 m (2 m,
4.83 m) and at l = 6400 km of 266 m (640 m, 1546 m) of the flight paths of both
neutrino types. Even an improbably small angle of /G0C/G05 = 5° (10°) in the rest frame of
the muon would at l = 6400 km result in a lateral displacement of 28 m (60 m)
between both neutrinos. A Lorentz factor of 10 and an an gle /G0C/G05 = 45° (90°) would5
result in a lateral displacement of 0.08 m (0.2 m) at l = 20 km, 26.91 m (64 m) at l =
6400 km and 53 m (128 m) at l = 12800 km. If /G05 > 0° the respective differences/G1F(e)
have to be considered. It is clear that in a broad band o f varying angles, muon
energy or Lorentz factors we would for distances /G12 6400 km arrive at similiar results:
where d means diameter of the detector, /G05 and /G05 are given in degrees and /G1F(µ) /G1F(e)ux1

v/c = 1. Even in the case of a very high energy muon would a respective large0
angle /G0C/G05 between the tracks of both neutrino types in its rest frame according to the
above examples at l = 6400 km lead to a lateral displacement > d (Super-
Kamiokande: d = 34 m and hight = 36 m).
It is clear that in all these cases at l /G11 20 km the muon-type and electron-type
neutrino would traverse jointly a sufficiently large detector so that for each of the two
neutrino types there is an equal chance to become counted, whereas at l /G12 6400 km
for each counted electron neutrino the accompanying muon neutrino will due to the
large displacement mainly miss the detector and pass far away undetectably by.The
exact distance dependen ce of this relativistic aberration effect also explains the
linear decrease of the number of muon neutrinos with increasing distance from the
maximum of counts to the point, wherefrom most upgoing muon neutrinos no more
can reach the detector together with the electron neutrino in l /G12 6400 km, in a fully
way.
Thus, if, as already mentioned, the flux of upgoing and downgoing electron
neutrinos is observed to be abou t equal so that R/R /G11 1, this/G1F(e)upgoing /G1F(e)downgoing
conclusively implies that from the far side of Earth mainly those muon neutrinos
reach the detector, which were generated by the pion decay. All or nearly all muon
neutrinos generated together with the electron neutrinos in the course of the muon
decay on the other hand can due to the growing distance from the electron
neutrino’s flight path not be registered by the same detector, resulting in
R /G11 1, exactly as observed./G1F(µ/e)upgoing
Transversal Aberration Effects in Ultra Relativistic Collision Events
The theory also explains independen tly of quantum mechanical models the steady
increase of the mean transverse energy per particle and une xpected frequent
appearance of events with very high transverse energy as well as their distribution
normal to the beam direction in collision experiments. But owing to the strong
relativistic elongation of the colliding particles in beam direction this transversal
aberration effect will at lower energies be superimposed by a longitudinal alignment
of the secondary particles - in agreement with experiment.
Consider two identical particles in S' and S'' colliding elastically with equal but2 2
oppositely directed velocity at point S at rest, being the kinematical center and at1
the same time the center-of-mass. We restrict our analysis to the recoil particle in
S' . In the time particle dt after collision, S is moving relative to S' according to the2 1 2
equations (4). Transformation into the coordinates and time of S delivers1
Thus, one expects an aberrational transversal deviation of ultra relativistic recoil
particles and photons from the path pattern in the center-of-mass, which is given by tan /G051

(8)This transversal deviation in collisions is a purely relativistic effect in the kinematical
center, which only depends on the velocity of the colliding particles (of equal mass).
Division of the tangens function at two different velocities delivers
where /G0B' < /G0B, implying v' > v. This ratio is of interest in extrapolating the increase00 0 0
of transversal momentum (energy) at different velocities and scattering angles in
collision experiments in the center-of-mass frame (see below).
If the collision of an ultra relativistic particle with a fixed target particle in the
laboratory is analysed, evidently neither system, the particles rest within, can be
considered at rest owing to the natural rest frame /G28 amidst them, implying both0
systems to move relative to each other. Obviously this requirement is fulfilled if the
laboratory is considered as the moving system S° and the ultra relativistic particle as1
the oppositely moving system S ° according to the above transformation equations.2
According to the latter also is valid x = xetc. so that follows°°
21
Thus, no relativistic deviation is to expect in collision events with fixed targets. If we
consider the above identity equations and transform the right hand member of (8)
into the coordinates and time of S' , we receive again 2
the apparent increase of energetic particles transversal to the beam direction with
growing velocity (energy), as compared with the expectations on the grounds of the
validity of the aberration law (5) of special relativity for this kind of scattering
experiment.
In the following predictions on the grounds of (7) are compared with experiment.d /G29

(9)The differential cross section is defined by
Irrespective of quantum mechanical effects the "number of particles at scattering
angle /G15" must directly depend on the rise of the geometrical cross section according
to (1) and (2) and the transversal aberration effect in ultra relativistic collisions
according to (6) in the case of colliders as well as accelerators. Therefore, at low
transverse momentums the differential cross sections of scattering experiments at
higher energies are extrapolatable with fair accuracy from low energy values. For
this purpose simply the product of the ratio of the geometrical cross section at lower
and higher velocity (energy), and of the the ratio (7) - the aberrational effects in
collision events predicted by this theory as compared with special relativity - is to
multiply by the tangens of the transverse momentum:
where p means a given transverse momentum at lower velocity (p /G06 10 GeV) andT T
/G0B' < /G0B. This simple geometrical derivation of aberrational effects at lower00
momentums from experimental values is possible
because the differential cross section at a given velocity
(energy) as a function of the four-momentum transfer
squared is equivalent to plotting it as a function of
scattering angle at fixed energy. The curve of the
differential cross section at higher energies is
geometrically approximated by the above formula by
adding arctan /G29 units to the point p of the curve atT T
lower scattering velocity (energy). The symmetrical
transverse momentum p is computed from theT
conventional momentum (see [1]). In the figure
experimental results at the center-of-mass energy E* =
540 GeV are compared with extrapolations(crosses)
from E* = 62 GeV to E* = 540 GeV according to the
above formula. The approximation seems fairly good.
Thus, it is predicted that the growing transversal deviation of the secondary particles
out of collisions with ever growing energy of particles of whatever kind, as for
instance found at the Fermilab’s Tevatron particle accelerator in protron-antiprotron
collisions at 1800 GeV in the center-of-mass frame, is solely of relativistic origin.
This also is true for high energetic collisions of all kinds of nucleii, where indeed this300 MeV ×E/G0C

trend has been observed long since, as for instance at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany.
In violent collisions (1 GeV/nucleon) between gold nuclei has been found that at
polar emission angles of 90° in the center-of-mass frame, kaons as well as nucleons
and pions emerge preferentially out of the plane of the collision, although kaons are
expected to emerge isotropically [5]. However, according to the above formulas this
effect clearly is to expect and must increase with ever growing energy (velocity).
According to this theory the experimentally verified tendency of secondaries in high
energetic collisions to deviate transversally to the beam direction with increasing
energy (velocity) is merely of relativistic origin. This effect also comprises "jet"
structures "seen" in protron-protron (antiprotron) and electron-positron collisions,
which usually are interpreted as a manifestation of the interaction of the quarks
constituting the hadrons. But according to this theory the observed jet structures are
(mainly) fictitious and necessarily occur if v/G19c and the emitted particles -0
independen tly of their origin (elastic or inelastic scattering) - according to the above
equations tend to fill out the transversal region. If high transverse momentums and
jets are of the same kinematic origin, they also should exhibit similiar structures,
regardless of the particles involved. Furthermore is clear that the bulk of high
transverse energy events should have a non-jet like uniform azimuthal distribution.
Indeed this is observed. Therefore, the probability of the production rate of jets
should rise in accordance with this theory independen tly of the particles involved.
And indeed: the UA1 experiment at CERN observed a rise of the jet cross section in
protron-antiprotron collisions from /G11 5 mb at 350 GeV (center-of-mass frame)
collision energy to /G11 10 mb at 900 GeV [6]. Extrapolation according to (9) also
results in 10 mb.
Comparable data were measured by the PLUTO experiment at DESY in Hamburg in
electron-positron collisions. A rise of the mean square sums (p) of the transversalT2
momentum of jets as a function of the center-of-mass energy E from /G11 1.3
</G28(p)>(GeV) at E = 7.7 GeV to /G11 6.6 </G28(p)>(GeV) at E = 31.6 GeV has beenT T2 2 2 2
observed [7]. Extrapolation according to (9) results in 6.6 </G28(pT)>(GeV), too.2 2
It is clear that the mean total transverse energy (the sum of all Es in an event) orT
mean transversal momentum must rise proportionally to the relativistic rise of the
mean geometrical cross section in connection with the transversal aberration.
Respective measurements were made at CERN, where a rise of the mean total
transverse energy from /G11 300 MeV at ISR energy (60 GeV) to /G11 500 MeV at SPS
energy (540 GeV) has been observed [8]. Extrapolation results in/G29T(150 GeV)/G1120 mb ×E/G0C

At CERN in classic protron-antiprotron scattering events a rise of the mean cross
section of the individual particles transversal to the beam direction from 56.1 (±4.7)
mb at 150 GeV total energy in the center-of-mass system to 85.5 (±6.4) mb at 900
GeV has been measured [9]. If the cross section of the protron (antiprotron) at rest
= 10 mb our formulas deliver:
where T in the left hand side means transversal, E’ energy based on (quantized) v0
and E* center-of-mass energy (see [1]).
Respective measurements of electron-positron collisions were carried out by the
PLUTO experiment at DESY in Hamburg. A rise of the mean transversal momentum
of jets from /G11 0.3 GeV at 7.7 GeV total energy in the center-of-mass system to /G11 0.4
GeV at 31.6 GeV collision energy has been observed [10]. Extrapolation also results
in 0.4 GeV and, thus, shows very good correspondence with experiment.
Finally it is predicted that the excess of events (as compared with the expectations
on the grounds of the standard model) in collisions between positrons of 27.5 GeV
and protrons of 820 GeV center-of-mass energy with high momentum transfer or at a
large angle, found at DESY’s HERA positron-protron collider, also owes its
existence to the relativistic rise of the mean geometrical cross section in connection
with relativistic transversal aberration in collisions.

Cauchy stress in mass distributions
The thermodynamic definition of pressure P = ∂U/∂V is one form of the principle that in a given state, the mass in V and
potential are proportional. Subject of this communication is the significance of this principle for the understanding of Cauchy stress.
The stress theory as it is used today, was developed by Euler in 1776 and Cauchy in 1823. The following is a slightly edited quote of Truesdell [1].
p.164: Let f be pairwise equilibrated; let -S denote the contact having the same underlying set as S but opposite
orientation; then
t
-S = - tS (1)
p.170: Cauchy assumed that the tractions t on all like-oriented contacts with a common plane at x are the same at x, i.e.
tS at x is assumed to depend on S only through the normal n of S at x: tS = t (x, n). This statement is called the Cauchy
postulate. S is oriented so that its normal n points out of c( B) if S is a part of ∂c(B). Thus t (x, -n) is the traction at x on all
surfaces S tangent to ∂c(B) and forming parts of the boundaries of bodies in the exterior c( Be) of c( B). In this sense t (x, n) is
the traction exerted upon B at x by the contiguous bodies outside it. As a trivial corollary of (1) follows Cauchy´s fundamental
lemma: t (x, -n) = -t (x, n).
p.176: v1 and v2 are linearly independent. At a given place x0 the planes P 1 and P 2 normal to v1 and v2, respectively, are
distinct. We set v3 = -(v1 + v2) and consider the wedge A that is bounded by these two planes and the plane P 3 normal to v3 at
the place x0 + εv3. We suppose ε small enough that A be the shape of some part of B, and we denote by ∂iA the portion of the
plane P i that makes a part of the boundary of A. We let ε approach 0. If we write Ai for the area of ∂iA, we see that

On the other hand, we see that c → 0 as ε → 0. Therefore, since the sum in (5) is independent of ε, it must vanish:
() 0 vxt 3
1 0 = /Ge5
=kk, . [End of quote] (6)
The key argument in the above text is: since the sum in (5) is independent of ε. It is an a priori condition; behind this
is the assumption that Newtons 3rd law (1) is the proper equilibrium condition for the problem, and the Newtonian
understanding of pressure, P = |f|/A which is believed to be universally scale-independent. Pressure is a state function, and a
pressure increase requires that work is done on a system of mass distributed in V; it is a change of state in the sense of the
First Law. Pressure is defined as energy density,
P = ∂U/∂V. (7)
The question is then: how are P = |f|/A and P = ∂U/∂V mathematically related? 2
The thermodynamic definition of P is scale-independent, and an explicit statement of the proportionality of mass
(measured in V the radius of which is r = |r|) and potential U in a given state (Kellogg [2:80]). The thermodynamic
equilibrium condition is P
surr Psyst = 0 (8)
in scalar form. If both terms are thought to be caused by forces f [Newton] acting from either side on the surface of the system
V the equilibrium condition is
fsurr fsyst = 0; (9)
for isotropic conditions (subsequently implied), both f are radial force fields. Since the system contains mass, and since it
interacts with the surrounding through exchange of work, it acts as a source of forces; i.e. its source density 0≠ϕ in some
statically loaded state. ϕ is always proportional to the mass in the system (Kellogg [2:45]); an existence theorem requires that
if there is some function f of a point Q such that
()/Gf2ϕ=dVQf , (10)
both LHS and RHS must vanish with the maximum chord of V (Kellogg [2:147]). As with all of thermodynamics (Born [3]),
the approach to stress must thus be based on a Poisson equation (Kellogg [2:156]). The equilibrium condition (8) thus can take the form
0syst surr =ϕ−ϕ . (11)
It is therefore of interest how the volume functions relate to the surface functions if the domain of interest V is changed
in scale. In
/Gf2/Gf2ϕ=⋅∇=⋅ dV dA f nf , (12)
f may be either one of the LHS terms in (9). If mass is continuously distributed, ϕ ∝ V, and ∇ ⋅ f is a constant that is
characteristic of the energetic state in which the system is. Hence in (12), LHS ∝ V. Since V ∝ r3, but A ∝ r2, for LHS ∝ r3 to
hold it follows that | f| ∝ r, or
const =
rf
. (13)
Thus as V → 0, |f|/A → ∞, yet ∆U/∆V → const . Both fsyst and fsurr vanish with r; the condition in (10) is observed, stating that
a system V with zero magnitude cannot do work on its surrounding, and vice versa.
ε (2-5) is an one-dimensional measure of the magnitude of the prism A (2), as is r for V in the subsequent discussion. It
is to be taken into account that P = |f|/A is scale-independent if A is a free plane, yet both the surface of the prism A in (2) and
the surface A in (12) are closed surfaces. The difference between (1) and (9) is that the latter distinguishes system and
surrounding whereas the former does not. The thermodynamic system V represents a distributed source in the sense of
potential theory (Kellogg [2:150 ff]). ε or r, respectively, is the zero potential distance (Kellogg [2:63]) which may have
infinite length, or if it is finite it is set to have unit length by convention, but it cannot be zero or otherwise be let vani sh.

We review and extend the analogies between Gaussian pulse pr opagation and Gaussian beam
diffraction. In addition to the well-known parallels betwee n pulse dispersion in optical fiber and
CW beam diffraction in free space, we review temporal lenses a s a way to describe nonlinearities
in the propagation equations, and then introduce further co ncepts that permit the description of
pulse evolution in more complicated systems. These include the temporal equivalent of a spherical
dielectric interface, which is used by way of example to deri ve design parameters used in a recent
dispersion-mapped soliton transmission experiment. Our f ormalism offers a quick, concise and
powerful approach to analyzing a variety of linear and nonli near pulse propagation phenomena in
optical fibers.
This paper introduces an ab-initio study of pulse prop-
agation phenomena analogous to spatial CW diffraction
behavior. We address both linear dispersive evolution
as well the self-phase modulation effects of the nonlin-
ear index of refraction [1]. The latter is responsible for
much of the current interest in nonlinear optical com-
munications, since pulse shapes such as solitons and
dispersion-managed solitons display much more attrac-
tive transmission properties than linear transmission for -
mats (e.g. NRZ) [2].
Such nonlinear pulses are usually self-consistent eigen-
solutions of a wave equation, which is the primary reason
for their robustness to uncompensated spectral broaden-
ing and resultant dissipation into the continuum. The
conventional hyperbolic secant soliton is an exact solu-
tion of the nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equation [3], and prop-
agates indefinitely in a lossless medium without losing
its shape. Lossless media can be realized in practice
quite effectively by using lumped amplification stages,
and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers offer excellent charac-
teristics in this regard.
Breathers, sometimes called dispersion-managed soli-
tons [4, 5], are also self-consistent ‘eigen solutions’ of
the wave equation that propagate with periodic pulse
width, chirp etc. While not strictly unchanging in shape,
breathers evolve back to their initial configuration, essen -
tially traversing a closed, non-degenerate orbit in phase
space [6]. Unlike pulse shapes designed for linear trans-
mission channels, these pulses do not require periodic
dispersion compensation along the transmission channel,
and so offer an attractive alternative to the strong control
requirements of the nonlinear Schr¨ odinger soliton.
Characterizing the solutions of the nonlinear wave
equation is often simplest via direct numerical simula-
tion, and this has been particularly true for dispersion
∗Electronic address: shayan@caltech.edu; URL: http://www.its.
caltech.edu/~shayanmapped solitons [7]. In order to understand, capture and
then predict and utilize the essential physics that guides
this behavior, a more conceptually accessible framework
is sometimes preferable, such as the variational approach
with a pulse shape Ansatz [8]. The pulse shape is de-
scribed as a dynamical system; we write the Hamilto-
nian based on the action principle and seek solutions to
the Euler-Lagrange equations of motion [9, 10]. This ap-
proach is not always applicable, however, especially when
the Ansatz is incapable of capturing some essential phys-
ical behavior. Also, it is somewhat more of an analytical
tool for probing the dynamics of systems that we already
know something about, or can predict at least partially,
and it may be convenient to have other approaches that
can offer quick insight into constructive aspects of non-
linear propagation, so that different geometries can be
analyzed and compared quickly and easily.
The parallels between dispersive pulse propagation in
optical fibers and paraxial CW Gaussian beam diffraction
in free space have been identified for some time [11, 12,
13]. More recently, the analogies have been extended to
include temporal lenses as a way to translate the imaging
properties of spatial lenses into the temporal domain [14].
In this way, pulse correlation and convolution devices
may also be constructed [15]. Still more recently, it was
shown that temporal lenses can characterize nonlinear
effects in the wave equation, leading, for example to the
formation of a class of steady-state repeating pulses [16].
We believe that this is perhaps the most potentially use-
ful of the space-time analogies: in this paper, we further
extend the use this formalism to describe still more pow-
erful applications such as Gaussian pulse propagation in
optical fiber systems, including dispersion mapped sys-
tems, including the effects of the nonlinear index of re-
fraction.
We first outline the basic physics that motivates this
discussion and sets the context for further development.2
I. SPACE-TIME ANALOGY OF BEAM
DIFFRACTION AND PULSE PROPAGATION
A. CW Gaussian beam diffraction
The Fresnel-Kirchoff diffraction integral is a well-
founded approach to electromagnetic propagation prob-
lems, and several textbooks cover the topic from a variety
of approaches [17, 18, 19]. We will briefly review only as
much as necessary to establish our argument, limiting
our argument to diffraction in 1+1 ( x,z) dimensions.
An electromagnetic field of radian frequency ωand
scalar complex amplitude u(x,z) can be represented
E(x,z,t) =u(x,z) exp(iωt) (1)
whereu(x) obeys the wave equation,
∇2u+k2u= 0, k2=ω2µǫ=/parenleftbigg2πn
λ/parenrightbigg2
.(2)
This equation admits plane wave solutions of the form
exp(±ikz) representing propagation along ∓zrespec-
tively, and indeed, an arbitrary superposition of plane
waves, each with the same wavelength, propagating along
all possible directions,
u(x,z) =/integraldisplay
˜u0(kx)exp[i(kxx)−i/radicalbig
k2−k2xz]dkx(3)
where ˜u0is the Fourier transform of the input field
u0(x,0).
We consider optical beams whose plane wave compo-
nents propagate at small angles to the zaxis (paraxial
approximation), so that we can expand the square root
in (3) in a Taylor series and keep the first two terms,

The propagation of continuous-wave (CW) Gaussian
beams in free space and rotationally-symmetric quadratic
graded-index media is conveniently described by assum-
ing that the envelope has the form [17]
u= exp/braceleftbigg
−i/bracketleftbigg
P(z) +k
2q(z)r2/bracketrightbigg/bracerightbigg
(6)
where, we find by substitution into the wave equation (2)
thatdP/dz =−i/q(z) for such media. The q-parameter
describes the Gaussian beam completely,
1
q(z)=1
R(z)−iλ
πnw2(z). (7)In the above definition, R(z) describes the radius of cur-
vature of the beam, and w(z) the beam spot size.
The usefulness of the q-parameter lies in the bilinear
transformation (ABCD law) that characterizes how this
parameter evolves with propagation. For an optical sys-
tem described by a real (or complex) ABCD matrix, the
outputqparameter is given by
qo=Aqi+B
Cqi+D. (8)
Separating the real and imaginary parts of qoenables
us to calculate the radius of curvature and spot size
of the Gaussian beam at the output of the optical sys-
tem. Many practically important optical systems and
their corresponding phenomena can be described by sim-
ple ABCD matrices, such as propagation in a uniform
medium, focusing via a thin lens, beam transformation
at a dielectric interface, propagation through a curved di-
electric interface and thick lens, propagation in a medium
with a quadratic index variation etc. [17, Table 2-1]
B. Gaussian pulse propagation
Consider a single mode in an optical fiber, usually the
lowest-order fundamental mode, excited at z= 0, and
with an assumed temporal envelope of the Gaussian form,
E(z= 0,t) =Re/bracketleftbig
exp(−αt2+iω0t)/bracketrightbig
(9)
and write as a Fourier transform integral,
E(0,t) =Re/bracketleftbigg
exp(iω0t)/integraldisplay
˜u0(Ω)exp(iΩt)dΩ/bracketrightbigg
(10)
where ˜u0is the Fourier transform of the Gaussian enve-
lopeu0= exp(−αt2).
As in the spatial case, we can be think of this as a su-
perposition of time-harmonic fields, each with frequency
(ω0+Ω) and amplitude ˜ u0(Ω)dΩ. These waves will expe-
rience a phase delay when propagating a distance z; we
multiply each frequency component by its propagation
delay factor exp[−iβ(ω0+ Ω)z] so that
E(z,t) =/integraldisplay
˜u0(Ω)exp[i(ω0+ Ω)t−iβ(ω0+ Ω)z]dΩ.

whereT=t−β′z=t−z/vgis the time coordinate in
the frame of reference co-moving with the pulse envelope
at the group velocity vg= 1/β′. Dispersion of the group-
velocity (GVD) is represented by β′′.
The formal similarity between (5) and (16) is the prin-
cipal motivation for this analysis. We can write down
a set of space-time translation rules (see Table I) to ap-
ply results from spatial diffraction to temporal dispersion
and vice versa. One family of results that can be derived
from this space-time analogy correspond to spatial imag-
ing e.g. the 2- fand 4-foptical systems. These can be
applied to pulse compression or expansion experiments
etc [14].
But we will see in later sections that many linear and
nonlinear pulse propagation systems can be described by
cascading simple ABCD matrices, and this can result in
substantially simpler calculations and more direct phys-
ical understanding of the physical processes involved in
nonlinear pulse propagation. We will first need to develop
some additional facility in characterizing optical system s
associated with the pulse propagation equations.
The spatial q-parameter has a temporal equivalent qt
in accordance with the space-time translation rules of
Table I, defined by
1
qt(z)=1
Rt(z)+i2β′′
τ2(z), (17)
whereτ(z) represents the pulse width (scaled in the T
frame by√
2) andRt(z) its chirp. A Gaussian pulse
in linearly dispersive fibers is then represented by the

II. COMPONENTS OF THE ABCD
FORMALISM FOR GAUSSIAN PULSE
PROPAGATION
As a simple example of the application of the above
translation rules, we consider the propagation of a Gaus-
sian input pulse with envelope
U(0,T) = exp/parenleftbigg
−T2
2T2
0/parenrightbigg
. (20)
The transmission medium comprises of two concatenated
sections of fiber with lengths z1andz2and with GVD
coefficients β′′
1andβ′′
2respectively. We ignore any non-
linear effects in this simple problem, and assume that the
medium is lossless. What are the pulse characteristics at
the output of the second medium i.e. what is the pulse
width atz=z1+z2?
One way of solving this problem is by recourse to the
wave equation (16) solution by the Fourier transform
technique. We have,
˜U(z2,ω) = ˜U(z1,ω)exp/parenleftbiggi

The real and imaginary parts of both sides of the above
equation have to be equal, leading to a pair of simulta-
neous equations. For an unchirped input pulse, R1= 0
so that equality of the imaginary parts leads to

(28)
which is the same as (23), since τ=√
2 ∆T.
In the above calculation, we have carried out some
algebraic simplifications by hand in order to show that
the result obtained by the ABCD matrix approach is the
same as that obtained by the Fourier transform approach.
Nevertheless, the former is computationally much sim-
pler, and separating the real and imaginary parts of (27)as part of a numerical algorithm can be carried out with-
out the notational complexity of, for example, rational-
izing the denominator.
While second-order dispersion is conveniently repre-
sented by the ABCD matrix approach, there are prob-
lems with extending the analysis to higher orders of dis-
persion. The slowly-varying envelope equation analogous
to (15) including the effects of third-order dispersion

2β′′zω2+i

(30)
does not have an equivalent in the CW spatial diffraction
context.
To see this, consider the next term in the Taylor ex-
pansion of/radicalbig
k2−k2xin (3), which leads to an expression
of the form
u2(x) =e−ikz× (31)/integraldisplay
u1(kx)exp/parenleftbigg

exp(ikxx)dkx.
Using the space-time translation rules, we find that the
above expression contains a description of second and
fourth -order dispersion, not third-order dispersion.
This is obviously a general characteristic of the above
Taylor expansion; all odd-order dispersion terms have no
spatial paraxial diffraction equivalent in the ABCD ma-
trix content. Recall that the effect of β′is accounted for
by transforming to a moving reference frame T=t−β′z.
For completeness, we derive the translation rule for any
even-order dispersion in terms of the equivalent term in
CW diffractive optics. A little algebra will show that the
generalization of (30) yields
˜U(z,ω) = ˜U(0,ω)× (32)

Note that this corrects the statement in [14]:
The slowly varying envelope equations corre-
sponding to modulated plane waves in disper-
sive media have the same form as the parax-
ial equations describing the propagation of
monochromatic waves of finite spatial extent
(diffraction).
We append that this correspondence holds for all even
orders of dispersion, and of course, for β′as well, by
transforming to a moving reference frame.
Our ABCD formalism would be of limited interest if
the only phenomena it could capture were that of disper-
sive propgation. But, as mentioned in an earlier section,
the development of the time-lens formalism lets us de-
scribe nonlinear mechanisms as well.
By analogy to spatial lenses which are characterized by
a lens factor exp( ikr2/2f) which multiplies an incoming
optical beam, we define a temporal lens as a device that
multiplies the pulse envelope by a factor [14, 16]

whereftrepresents the temporal “focal length”.
A comparison of spatial and temporal lensing is shown
in Figure 1. In the spatial case, the lens compensates for
the spreading of the beam waist, and “flips” the phase
fronts to convert a diverging beam into a converging one.
Similarly, a temporal lens reverses the sign of the chirp, so
that further propagation in a β′′<0 dispersive fiber will
compensate for the chirp (phase modulation) caused this
far. This is also an interesting and physically illuminatin g
approach to discussing the physics of the formation of
solitons [17, Chapter 19].xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

One possible implementation, as proposed in [16], is to
achieve temporal lensing by self-phase modulation during
the passage of the pulse through a section of nonlinear
fiber (β′′≈0,n2>0). For short distances, z≪πτ2

Another method of obtaining time lensing is based on
the principle of electro-optic modulation [14]. An electro -
optic phase modulator driven by a sinusoidal bias voltage
of angular frequency ωmresults in a phase modulation
that is approximately quadratic under either extremum
of the sinusoid. The phase shift can be written as

We have described our temporal lens by a section of
nonlinear fiber of β′′≈0, analogous to a spatial thin lens,
which is assumed to have no thickness. Just as practical
lenses do have some thickness, practical fibers have non-
zeroβ′′. For those situations in which this cannot be
ignored, or may even be utilized constructively, we derive
the corresponding equivalent of a spatial “thick lens”.
Our first step is to characterize the temporal equivalent
of a curved dielectric interface: a spatial lens comprises
of two such interfaces separated by a length of material
of enhanced refractive index. At a planar dielectric in-
terface between two media of refractive indices n1and
n2, a Gaussian beam undergoes a change in the radius of
curvature, but is unchanged in beam width,
R2=n2

By analogy, a chirped Gaussian pulse at the interface be-

The above relation confirms our physical intuition that if

2−β′′
1= ∆β′′<0, then we have reduced ft, the distance
to the point of zero chirp from the output plane, for an
initially unchirped input pulse.
We now have the tools we need to analyze a reasonably
complicated practical problem: designing the length of a
dispersion map so as to get self-consistent eigen-pulses
with periodic pulse width and chirp.
III. DISPERSION-MANAGED SOLITON
TRANSMISSION EXPERIMENT
It has been recently found that a stable, self-consistent
pulse solution exists in a dispersion-managed fiber trans-
mission system [5]. While these are not solitons in
the strict mathematical sense, they have been called
dispersion-managed solitons, or perhaps more appropri-
ately, breathers. They demonstrate periodic behaviour:
the pulse width and chirp of Gaussian breathers, for
instance, are periodic functions of the propagation dis-
tance. Breathers share a property in common with soli-
tons in that they can propagate indefinitely without
losing shape; even though the pulse shape undergoes
changes within a disperion map period, the pulse does
not disperse away to infinity, or tend to self-focus to a
point either of which invalidate the applicability of the
nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equation after a certain distance.
A dispersion-mapped (DM) soliton is closer to a Gaus-
sian shape than the hyperbolic secant of the nonlinearSchr¨ odinger equation [20], and it is interesting to ask
whether our analysis is capable of capturing the essen-
tial aspects of its evolution along a dispersion-mapped
transmission channel.
We consider, as our example, the paper by Mu et
al. [21] who have simulated DM soliton dynamics in a
recirculating fiber loop. Their dispersion map consists of
100 km of dispersion shifted fiber (SMF-LS) with nor-
mal dispersion D1equal to -1.10 ps/nm-km at 1551 nm,
followed by an “approximately 7-km span” of standard
single-mode fiber (SMF-28) with an anomalous disper-
sionD2equal to 16.6 ps/nm-km at 1551 nm. The re-
sults of the paper indicate that Gaussian shaped pulses
of pulse duration 5.67 ps and peak power 9 dBm were
used. We will derive the result that, for these parame-
ters and given the length of SMF-LS fiber, the length of
SMF-28 fiber that needs to be used is indeed “approx-
imately 7-km”. In other words, we will show that this
given dispersion map can support lowest-order chirped
Gaussian self-consistent solutions, i.e. breathers.
The dispersion map, shown schematically in Figure 2,
consists of three fiber segments: a length z1/2 equal to
50 km of SMF-LS fiber, followed by a length z2of SMF-
28 fiber, whose numerical value is to be determined, and
then the remainder z1/2 of SMF-LS fiber. Each segment
of fiber has nonlinear characteristics, which we model via
a time lens situated, for simplicity at the individual mid-
points of the respective segments. Consequently, each
segment is described by the cascaded product of three
ABCD matrices, with two additional matrices represent-
ing the transitions between fibers of different β′′. For
simplicity, we will assume that the nonlinear properties
of the fibers are identical.
The overall ABCD matrix for the system can be writ-
ten down quite easily,

The algebraic complexity of writing out the expressions
explicitly should not mask the simplicity of multiplying
two-by-two matrices, usually numerically. Note that the
expression (57) for Dis algebraically identical to that for
A(56), and it may be verified that AD−BC= 1.
Theq-parameter (we have dropped the tsubscript in
this section for notational elegance) evolves according to
the bilinear transformation law, and we require that the
pulse repeat itself after propagation through one such
ABCD matrix,

which has the solution

SinceD=Ain our above analysis, we already see that
qis purely imaginary at z= 0 i.e. the pulse has zero chirp
at the midplanes, as we would expect a breather to have.
At this stage, we can substitute numerical values for
the various parameters (except z2, which is what we seek)
into the expressions for the A,B,CandDelements (56–
57) and solve (61) numerically for z2. While this is not
difficult, and already yields a quick solution to the prob-
lem at hand, we can get further insight via a well-justified
simplification as follows.

All that remains is for us to interpret the variables in

this expression to get the desired length z2of SMF-28

ues are as follows:

choice ofβ′′

The numerical solution (of the quadratic equation) for
z2is equal to 7.00 km which is indeed the value “approx-
imately 7 km” stated in the paper [21]. In spite of appar-
ent exact agreement, we should be careful to appreciate
that this analysis is a characterization of only the most
important processes in this experiment. Possible sources
for approximation include the fact that a DM soliton is
only approximately Gaussian, and that we have repre-
sented the combined dispersive and nonlinear properties
of the fiber segments by a single temporal lens. A better
approximation may be to include several temporal lenses
for each segment of fiber; this would make the algebraic
expressions in this paper quite cumbersome to write down
explicitly, but the numerical computation would not be
much more difficult, since the matrices are only two-by-
two in size, and comprise of purely real elements. The
experimental configuration of [21] also includes several
other elements which can affect the pulse shape, such as
filters, fiber amplifiers and polarization controllers.IV. HERMITE-GAUSSIAN BASIS
Our ABCD matrix formalism for pulse propagation ap-
plies to chirped Gaussian pulses. To analyze more com-
plicated shapes, we can expand the given pulse shape in a
basis of chirped Hermite-Gaussian functions, which form
a complete orthonormal basis [18, 20]. The Hermite-
Gaussian function (we consider only unchirped Gaussians
here for simplicity) of order nis defined as the product
of the Hermite polynomial of order nwith a Gaussian
function,
ψn(t)≡Hn(t)exp(−t2/2), (68)
where, for example,
H0(t) = 1, H 1(t) = 2t, H 2(t) = 4t2−2.(69)
We can expand an arbitrary input amplitude u0(t) in
this basis, analogous to expanding a field in terms of
plane wave components, as in solution techniques of the
standard parabolic diffraction equation by means of the
Fourier transform,
u0(t) =/summationdisplay
n=0cnHn(t)exp(−t2/2) (70)
where because of orthogonality of the Hermite-Gaussians,
the expansion coefficients are given by
cn=1√π2nn!/integraldisplay∞
−∞u0(t)Hn(t)exp(−t2/2).(71)
The propagation equation (16) defines the output pulse
shape as the convolution of the input shape with a Gaus-
sian kernel. Hermite-Gaussians, when convolved with a
Gaussian, yield the product of a Hermite polynomial and
a Gaussian [18],

Taking as input the n-th Hermite-Gaussian mode u0=
ψn(t) (which has width τ0=√
2), we evaluate the am-
plitude of this mode after propagation through distance

which can be seen to agree with (19).
A Hermite-Gaussian therefore maintains its shape dur-
ing propagation, but adds a chirp (which is the same for10
all modes) and a scaling of the width according to (19).
Power conservation implies that the amplitude corre-
spondingly scales down. The only term that is dependent
on the order of the Hermite-Gaussian is a phase term;
higher-order modes have greater phase advances, since
their spectral content is higher. The important observa-
tion is that the orthogonality of the Hermite-Gaussian
expansion is preserved, and so this expansion may be
used to predict the pulse shape obtained by propagating
an input pulse. Our formalism remains valid as long as
the differential equation describing the propagation of a
particular order Hermite-Gaussian is of the form (15),
i.e. the slowly-varying envelope approximation is valid.
Therefore, we can expect that the lower-order expansions
are usually valid; the results of applying our analysis to
higher-order expansion terms generate the residual field
corrections to the lower order results [22].
V. CONCLUSIONS
We have developed a 2 ×2 ABCD matrix formalism
for describing pulse propagation in media described by
Maxwell’s equations, accounting for dispersion, nonlin-
ear and gain/loss mechanisms. The method is analo-
gous to techniques used in CW beam diffraction analy-
sis, and correspondingly similar phenomena can be pre-
dicted, such as chirp transformation, focusing, periodic
pulse width expansion and narrowing etc. The spatial q
parameter has a time equivalent qTin accordance with
the given space-time translation rules. The real and
imaginary parts of q−1
Trepresent the chirp and the width
of the pulse as a function of propagation distance z.
The propagation of various input pulse shapes can be
described by expanding the given pulse in a basis of
Hermite-Gaussian functions; the ABCD formalism ap-
plies to each Gaussian wave function separately. Propa-
gation through a complicated system of optical elementsis simple to calculate in terms of ABCD matrices: the
resultant matrix is the cascaded product of the ABCD
matrices of each of the individual elements with the ap-
propriate ordering. The overall qTparameter is given by
a bilinear transformation in terms of the ABCD elements
of the overall product matrix, exactly analogous to the
spatial case.
We have formulated ABCD matrices for pulse propa-
gation in dispersive fibers, and for temporal lenses which
can characterize self-phase modulation phenomena. A
spatial dielectric interface translates to an interface be -
tween fiber segments of dissimilar GVD coefficient β′′.
The temporal equivalent of a curved dielectric interface
is useful for characterizing the transition between such
dissimilarβ′′fibers with the added presence of fiber non-
linearities arising from the nonlinear index of refraction
n2. We have used these tools to characterize a reason-
ably complicated real-life system: calculation of the dis-
persion map for self-consistent stable propagation of a
dispersion-managed soliton.
We believe this method of analysis forms a useful
complement to conventional pulse propagation methods,
such as the split-step Fourier transform numerical proce-
dures [3] which are substantially more computationally
intensive. The ABCD approach is useful for clarifying
the important dispersive and nonlinear focusing effects
in dispersion-mapped nonlinear fiber segments. Together
with the variational approach [8], based on modeling the
pulse as a dynamical system characterized by a Hamilto-
nian functional [9], the q-parameter offers an insight into
pulse evolution from a theoretical standpoint.

Abstract
We discuss the line shape for an internal state transition fo r bosonic atoms
confined as a one-dimensional gas. Typical line shape is an ed ge singularity
due to the absence of Bose-Einstein Condensation in such sys tems.
PACS numbers: 03.75.Fi
Recent progress in trapped bosonic gases has stimulated a lo t of activities in the study
of many-body effects in such systems. Most theoretical paper s concentrate on effects due
to the existence of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) and t he associated macroscopic
wave-function. With current techniques, it is likely that o ne can as well study an effectively
one-dimensional (1D) trapped gas [1]. This situation occur s when the bosons are put in
a trap which is tightly confining in two directions ( yandz) but is essentially free in the
third (x), and with particles occupying only the lowest quantized su bband for motions in
they-zplane. This system is unique in that, for any finite interacti on among the bosons,
there is no Bose-Einstein Condensation even at zero tempera ture. [2]. The long-wavelength
quantum fluctuations destroy the phase coherence of the syst em in the macroscopic limit.
For a given density n, the occupation number N0of the lowest single particle state, though
in general increases with the size and hence the total number of particles Nin the system, is
nevertheless only a negligible fraction of the total (lim
N→∞N0
N→0 ). Though many properties
of 1D bose gas have been studied in the past [2], the subject re mains somewhat academic
since there exists no physical realization. The possibilit y of realizing this 1D bose gas has
already stimulated some more theoretical work on this syste m recently [3,4]
The present 1D bosonic system is closely related to its fermi onic counterpart; and they are
collectively known as the “Luttinger liquids” [5]. One-dim ensional fermionic systems have
been studied much more extensively in the context of quantum wires, carbon nanotubes
[6,7] etc. There the one-dimensional nature leads to the abs ence of fermi liquid behavior, so
the properties of the system is qualitatively different from its non-interacting counterpart.
The atomically trapped 1D bose gas offers us an excellent new o pportunity to study the
peculiar properties of quantum systems in reduced dimensio ns, in particular the consequence
due to the absence of BEC. Not only that this is the first 1D boso nic system available, it
provides advantages over the mentioned 1D fermionic cases i n that the present system is
intrinsically clean, and moreover numerous atomic and opti cal tools can now be used. It
may even be possible to further study novel systems such as mi xtures etc.
In this paper we consider one such example, namely the absorp tion line shape of an
optical transition in this 1D bose gas. We imagine initially a quasi-1d system of bosons in
their internal ground state (referred to as the ‘a-atoms’ be low). An incident optical wave
excites one of the atoms to a different internal state. We are i nterested in the absorption
1line shape of this process; i.e., the probability that the absorption takes place at a given
frequency Ω. We shall consider the problem at T= 0, paying particular attention to the
special feature due to the absence of BEC. An analogous exper iment has already been done
in athreedimensional trap for the 1s →2s transition in hydrogen [8]. For a uniform 3D bose
gas atT= 0, the line is expected to be narrow, Lorentzian (see, e.g. [ 9], c.f. however [8])
with a width governed by the small ‘gaseous parameter(s)’ ( n3da3)1/2. Heren3dis the particle
number density in 3d and a(’s) is (are) the s-wave scattering length(s) for scatterin g among
the bosons. For this three dimensional case, the main weight of the transition comes from
exciting a particle from momentum /vector p= 0. There is a macroscopic number of such particles.
For a weakly interacting gas, the potential felt by the rest o f the bosons is only slightly
modified after the transition. We shall see that the situatio n in 1D is very different due
to the absence of BEC. Exciting a single particle necessitat es a substantial rearrangement
of the relative motion among the rest of the particles, i.e., emission of a large number of
phonons. The basic line shape is typically an edge singulari ty.
We shall then consider an atomic trap with tight confinement i n they-zdirections. For
definiteness we shall assume that the confinement potentials in these directions are isotropic
and harmonic, with frequency ω⊥. We shall consider the case where the atoms are limited
within 0<x<L but otherwise free. A weak harmonic trap potential along the x-axis has
been considered in the past [10,11], and the low dimensional effects have been shown to be
significantly reduced. We shall assume that such a potential is absent here. We shall further
ignore the effect due to finiteness of L, a condition which we shall return below.
The bosonic system is described by a Hamiltonian containing the kinetic energy and a
short-range interaction among the bosons. Anticipating th at we shall eventually study the
system in the quasi-1d limit, the field operator for the origi nal bosons, referred to hereafter
as the a-bosons, is expanded as ψa(/vector r) =ψa(x)χ0(/vector r⊥) +/summationtext
jψaj(x)χj(/vector r⊥) whereψa(x) is
the annihilation operator for the a-bosons in the lowest sub band (0) where the transverse
wavefunction is χ0(/vector r⊥).ψaj(x)’s (j= 1,2,...) are the corresponding operators for the
higher subbands (wavefunctions χj(/vector r⊥)). In the ground state |G>,ψaj(x)|G>= 0 since all
particles reside in the lowest subband. We shall see that ψajforj= 1,2,...will not appear
anywhere below, and can pretend that the expansion of ψa(/vector r) will consist thus only the term
involving the lowest subband. The extent of the wavefunctio nχ0in the y-z direction will
be denoted as a⊥. For harmonic trapping potentials in these directions a⊥=/radicalBig

mω⊥.
We shall not write down the interaction part of the Hamiltoni an involving the a-bosons
explicitly since we won’t need it below. For delta-function type interactions it is possible to
write down all the formal many-body wavefunctions [12]. Unf ortunately manipulations of
such wavefunctions are typically very mathematically invo lved. Moreover we shall eventually
be interested in ‘final’ states where an a-atom has been excit ed internally. Such wavefunc-
tions, where effectively there is a ‘foreign’ atom present, a re not known (with an exception
noted below). We thus proceed rather differently and follow H aldane [5], concentrating only
on the low energy excitations which are density oscillation s in the system. The field operator

n(x) and phase φ(x) byψa(x) = [n(x)]1/2eiφ(x). The effective Hamiltonian for the 1d motion

Now we consider the external optical field responsible for th e transition in inter-
nal state. Since the atom with a new internal state is disting uishable from the origi-
nal atoms, we shall call the resulting atom the ‘c-atom’. For definiteness we consider
only the ‘Doppler-free’ part of the spectrum ( no momentum tr ansfer from the exciting
laser beam(s)) and assume that the perturbation responsibl e for the excitation is uniform
throughout the 1D bose gas. The relevant part of the Hamilton ian can be then written as
Hex=w/integraltextd3/vector r/parenleftBig
ψ†
c(/vector r)ψa(/vector r) +ψ†
a(/vector r)ψc(/vector r)/parenrightBig
whereψc(/vector r) is the field operator for the atom in
the excited internal state. We are interested in the rate of t ransition as a function of the
excitation frequency Ω. This rate I(Ω) is given simply by the golden rule:
I(Ω) = 2π/summationdisplay
F|<F|Hex|G>|2δ(Ω−(EF−EG)) (3)
where|F >are the set of final states. To proceed further we need to know t he fate of the
c-atom. There are many possibilities and we shall simply con sider two extreme limits:
(1) An atom in the internal state c is not affected at all by the t rapping potential for
the atoms in state a. This is possible if, e.g., this potentia l is due to a laser with frequency
near a dipole resonance for the a-atoms but far away from any o f those for c. In this case
the c-atom escapes from the trap and no longer interacts with the remaining a-atoms.
(2) The c-atom also feels the strong transverse confinement p otential. It remains inside
the trap and continues to interact with the a-atoms.
We shall treat these two cases in turn.
Case 1: In this case the final state is simply a product state, |F >=|Φ>×|/vector p>, with
theN−1 a-atoms in state |Φ>(with x momentum −px) and the c-atom in the plane wave
state|/vector p>with momentum /vector p. The rate for transition into states with given /vector pis

between the a- and c- atoms. This rate is thus proportional to the spectral function for
annihilation of a particle in the 1D bose gas (hereafter px→p)
B(p,ω′)≡/summationdisplay
Φ|<Φ|ap|G>|2δ(ω′−(EΦ−EG,N−1)) (5)
withω′= Ω +EG−EG,N−1−/vector p2/2m−uand where EG,N−1is the ground state energy of
N−1 atoms in the 1D trap. B(p,ω′) is given by −1
πImG1(p,ω′) where
G1(x,t)≡i<ψ†
a(0,0)ψa(x,t)>h(t) (6)
The required Green’s function can be evaluated by finding the long distance and time
behavior of G1(x,t). Substituting eq (2) into eq(6) one finds G1∼1
(x2+v2t2)1/4Kh(t).
The Fourier transform G1(p,ω′) and hence B(p,ω′) for a given phas the scaling form
∼h(ω′−v|p|)/(ω′2−v2p2)1−αwithα=1
4K. Since 1< K < ∞the line shape is of the
form of an edge singularity. For the three dimensional bose g as, the corresponding B(/vector p,ω′)
is proportional to a delta function at the Bogoliubov mode fr equency (with an additional
small incoherent part). The lack of a delta function in the pr esent case reflects the absence
of a condensate. If /vector pcan be independently measured this experiment would be anal ogous
to angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy employed ext ensively in recent studies of high
T-c cuprates [13].
Case 2: In this case the final result depends on the interaction betwe en the a and c
atoms, which has the general form gac/integraltextd/vector rψ†
c(/vector r)ψc(/vector r)ψ†
a(/vector r)ψa(/vector r). Heregacis defined in 3D

jψcj(x)χcj(/vector r⊥). The final states in eq (3) in general can involve terms
that are off-diagonal in the band index jfor the c-atom due to the interaction between a
and c. Such processes correspond to the possibility that the transverse motion of the c-
atom be modified due to the interaction with the a-atoms. For a tight trap however, these
contributions are small in the dilute limit. They involve th e parameter nogac/πa2

these contributions, we have I(Ω) =/summationtext

superposition of ‘lines’ involving transition to final stat es where the c-atom is within a given

be tractable analytically in general. The problem however c an be simplified significantly
if we assume that gac,jjis small (condition given below) and concentrate again on th e low
frequency limit, i.e., just above the threshold for transit ion into the j-th subband (given by
ξcj=ǫcj−ǫ0−µ+u+gac,jjn1dto lowest order in gac). In this case transitions must be made
to states where the momenta pof the c-atom are small. Provided that p<<mv , then the
kinetic energy (of motion along x) transferred to the c-atom p2/2mis much less than that
to the density oscillations of a-atoms vp. Thus so long as we are interested in frequency
deviations ∆Ω from the threshold which satisfy ∆Ω << mv2, one can ignore the kinetic
energy of the motion of the c-atoms along x. For an impenetrable bose gas this amounts to
limiting ourselves to ∆Ω << π2¯h2/ml2. Ignoring thus the first term in H(1)

the result back in real space, we obtain

where the effective interaction Hamiltonian ˜Ha,intacts only on the a-atoms and is given by
gac,jjψ†
a(0)ψa(0). This result can be understood physically as follows: th e external optical
field produces an a →cj transition at t= 0 and at a general location say x0, annihilating
an a-atom while producing a c-atom there in the j-th subband. Since thecatom moves
with velocity p/mwhereas the sound waves move with the speed v, at smallpthe c-atom
is essentially stationary. For t >0, due to the c-atom created, a delta-function interaction
atx0acts on the a-atoms. We are interested in the overlap between the initial state with
an a-atom destroyed at x0and the final states with this extra interaction potential. T his
overlap is independent of the location of the transition x0which then has been set to 0. The
problem has thus become similar to that of X-ray absorption i n solid state physics. There
initially (t <0) one has an electron gas in its ground state. At t= 0 an X-ray photon is
absorbed which creates a charged nuclei with an extra electr on added to the electron gas,
which att>0 feels an extra local potential due to the charged nuclei. No tice however there
are slight differences. Here for t<0 we have an equilibrium 1D interacting bose gas and at
t>0 there is one lessboson than initially.
The correlation function in (11) and thus the line shape can b e found analogous to the
X-ray problem [14]. The expectation value needed can be rewr itten as<ψ†(0)e−i˜Htψ(0)>

<ˆTe−i/integraltextt

vN≡v/K. The calculation can be easily done since H0is quadratic in the boson operators bq

q. The long time dependence is given by, apart from a part oscil lating sinusoidally with

πvN¯h]2. Notice that the line shape is in general different for transi tion to
different subbands of the ‘c-atom’.
It is instructive to compare this result with that of the X-ra y problem when the interac-
tion between the nucleus after the X-ray and the electrons is modelled by a delta-function
interaction of strength V. There the long time behavior of the corresponding correlat ion
function is given by 1 /tαXand the line shape is ∼1/[∆Ω]1−αXwithαX= [1 +N(0)V]2,
whereN(0) is the density of states at the fermi level for the electro n gas [14]. Here, the
interaction strength is replaced by gac,jjand the density of states is replaced by∂n
∂µ=1
πvN¯h.
In both cases the power law line shapes (for αX/negationslash= 0 andα′
j/negationslash= 0) are due to ‘orthogonal
catastrophe’, that the overlap between the state just after the excitation and the new ground
state of the system vanishes. There are however two differenc es: the + sign in αXis replaced
by a−sign since now there is one less boson at t>0 rather than one more electron in the
X-ray absorption problem. The decay of DR
j(t) in time is slower ( α′
jis smaller) if gac>0:
near the location of the excitation, the reduction in local d ensity of the a-atoms is also what
an interaction with gac>0 prefers. The factor 1 /2Karises from the fact that we have a
one-dimensional interacting bose gas rather than a three-d imensional fermi liquid.
As the repulsive interaction gac,jjbetween the a and c atoms increases, α′
jdecreases
and the line sharpens up. The above quantitive result for the exponentsα′
jhowever holds
only for small gac,jj(<<πv N¯h). In the limit where interactions among allthe bosons are
strongly repulsive, one reaches the impenetrable limit whe re the bosons cannot pass each
other. In this limit the statistics, i.e., the indistinguis hability among the a-bosons and the
distinguishability between the a- and c- bosons become irre levant. One can check that the
wavefunctions written down in [15] for a system of identical bosons only can be generalized
to the present case if we replace one of the bosons by the forei gn c-atom. It can be further
verified that the absorption line shape becomes delta functi ons (one for each subband cj) in
this impenetrable limit.
The experimental observation of the line shape discussed ab ove should be feasible. The
possibility of obtaining a quasi-1D bose gas has already bee n discussed in ref [1]. The above
line-shape is applicable so long as ∆Ω<
∼π2¯h
ml2≡ωl. For hydrogen atoms and with l∼1µm,
ωl∼100kHz, much larger than the present available experimenta l resolutions. It is sufficient
for the temperature Tto be small compared with the line-width. The condition T << ω l
is satisfied for T < µK , a temperature readily achievable. A finite length Lof the system
will break the line into a set of discrete sub-lines with sepa rations of order π2¯h/mL2, but
the shape of the ‘line’ can still be observable as long as L>>l .

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Path Integral Solution of Diffusion Processes
There are three equi valent mathematical representations of a diffusion process, provided of course
that boundary and initial conditions can be properly specified in each representation. In this paper we
refer to all three representations.
The Langevin rate equation for a stochastic process in dScan be written as in a prepoint
discretization,

<dW(t)dW(t′)>=dtδ(t−t′), ( 1)

understood to be e valuated at the prepoint t.Here, we just consider Sdependent, but our algorithm can
easily be extended to time dependent cases and to multi variate systems.
This corresponds to a F okker-Planck equation representing the short-time conditional probability P

1.2. PATHINT Moti vation From Pr evious Study
In the abo ve wehav eexplicitly used the prepoint discretization, wherein fandgare understood to
be evaluated at the prepoint t.Inthis paper,w ed on ot require multi variate generalizations, or issues
dealing with other discretizations, or explication of long-time path-inte gral evaluations, or issues dealing
with Riemannian in variance of our distrib utions. There exist other references dealing with these issues in
the context of calculations presented here [2-5].
Our approach is moti vated by a multi variable generalization of a numerical path-inte gral
algorithm [6-8], PATHINT,used to de velop the long-time e volution of the short-time probability
distribution as used in se veral studies in chaotic systems[9,10], neuroscience [9,11,12], and financial
markets [4]. These studies suggested that we apply some aspects of this algorithm to the standard
binomial tree.
1.3. PATHTREE Algorithms
Tree algorithms are generally deri vedfrom binomial random w alks [13]. Formanyapplications,
“tree” algorithms are often used, corresponding to the abo ve Langevin and F okker-Planck
equations [14,15]. These algorithms ha ve typically been only well defined for specific functional forms ofProbability tree ... -3- I ngber,Chen, Mondescu, Muzzall, Renedo
fandg.
We hav epreviously presented a powerful P ATHINT algorithm to deal with quite general fandg
functions [4]. This general P ATHTREE algorithm can be used beyond previous specific systems,
affording fast reasonable resolution calculations for probability distributions of a large class of nonlinear
diffusion problems.
1.4. Organization of Paper
Section 2 describes the standard tree algorithm. Section 3 de velops our probability P ATHTREE
algorithm. Section 4presents our probability calculations. Section 5 is our conclusion.

In a two-step binomial tree, the step up Suor step do wnSdfrom a gi vennode atSis chosen to
match the standard deviation of the differential process. The constraints on uanddare chosen as

If we assign probability pto the up step Su,andq=(1−p)t othe down step Sd,the matched mean and
variance are
pSu+(1−p)Sd=<S(t+Δt)>,
S2((pu2+qd2−(pu+qd)2))=<((S(t+Δt)−<S(t+Δt)>))2>. ( 5)
The right-hand-side can be deri vedfrom the stochastic model used.

S2((puu2+pm+pdd2−(puu+pm+pdd)2))=<((S(t+Δt)−<S(t+Δt)>))2>. ( 6)
3. PROBABILITY TREE ALGORITHM
3.1. General Diffusion Process
Consider the general Mark ov multiplicati ve diffusion process interpreted as an Ito ˆprepoint
discretized process, Eq. (1) with drift fand diffusiong2.For financial option studies the particular form
of the drift bSand diffusion ( σS)2is chosen for lognormal Black-Scholes (BS) calculations [14]. For
options, the coef ficientbis the cost of carry ,e.g.,b=r,the risk-free rate, when Sis a stock price, and
b=0whenSis a futures price [16]. The case of drift bSand constant dif fusion dif fusionσ2corresponds
to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process [17].
Our formalism is general and can be applied to other functional forms of interest with quite general
nonlinear drifts and diffusions, of course provided that the re gion of solution does not violate an y
boundary or initial conditions.

yielding a simple Gaussian distribution in z,greatly simplifying analytic and numerical calculations.
The probability distribution can be obtained by solving the associated forw ard Fokker-Planck
equation Eq. (2). Appropriate boundaries and initial condition must be specified, e.g.,
P(S|S0)=δ(S−S0).
In general cases, the F okker-Planck equation is rather difficult to solve, although a v ast body of
work is devoted to it [17]. The particular BS and OU cases possess exact results.
Our goal is to obtain the solution of Eq. (1) for the more general process. Aquite general code,
PATHINT [4], works fine, but it is much slower than the P ATHTREE algorithm we present here.
3.2. Deficiency of Standard Algorithm to Order √ dt
We briefly describe the CRR construction of the binomial tree approximation [18].
Atree is constructed that represents the time e volution of the stochastic v ariableS.Sis assumed to
takeonly 2 values,u,(up value), and d(down value) at moment t,giv enthe valueSat moment t−Δt.
The probabilities for the up and do wn movements are pandq,respectively.The 4 unkno wns{u,d,p,q}
are calculated by imposing the normalization of the probability and matching the first tw omoments
conditioned by the v alueSatt−Δt,using the variance of the exact probability distrib utionP(S,t|S0,t0).
One additional condition is arbitrary and is usually used to symmetrize the tree, e.g., ud=1.
The main problem is that the abo ve procedure cannot be applied to a general nonlinear dif fusion
process as considered in Eq. (1), as the algorithm in volves a previous knowledge of terms of O(Δt)i nthe
formulas of quantities {u,p}obtained from a finite time expansion of the exact solution Psought.
Otherwise, the discrete numerical approximation obtained does not con vergetothe proper solution.
This observation can be check ed analytically in the BS CRR case by replacing the relation
u=exp(σΔt)[15] with u=1+σ√ Δt,and deriving the continuous limit of the tree. This also can be
checked numerically ,a swhen{u,p}are expanded to O(Δt), the proper solution is obtained.
3.3. Probability P ATHTREE
As mentioned pre viously,ageneral path-inte gral solution of the F okker-Plank equation, including
the Black-Scholes equation, can be numerically calculated using the P ATHINT algorithm. Although this
approach leads to very accurate results, it is computationally intensi ve.
In order to obtain tree variables valid up to O(Δt), we turn to the short-time path-inte gral
representation of the solution of the F okker-Planck equation, which is just the multiplicati ve Gaussian-
Markovian distribution [1,19]. In the prepoint discretization rele vant to the construction of a tree,
P(S′,t′|S,t)=1
√ 2πΔtg2exp
−(S′−S−fdt)2
2g2Δt
Δt=t′−t (8)
valid for displacements S′fromS“reasonable” as measured by the standard de viationg√ Δt,which is the
basis for the construction of meshes in the P ATHINT algorithm.
The crucial aspects of this approach are: There is no a priori need of the first moments of the e xact
long-time probability distrib utionP,a sthe necessary statistical information to the correct order in time is
contained in the short-time propag ator.The mesh in S at e very time step need not recombine in the sense
that the prepoint-postpoint relationship be the same among neighboring Snodes, as the short-time
probability density gi vesthe correct result up to order O(Δt)for anyfinal point S′.Instead, we use the
natural metric of the space to first lay down our mesh, then dynamically calculate the e volving local short-
time distributions on this mesh.

This expression must be used to extract the down change d(Si−1=Si+d), for comparison to the standard
tree algorithm.
The continuous limit of the previous tree building procedure is obtained by T aylor expanding all
factors up to terms O(Δt)and as functions of the prepoint Si[15]. This leads to

In implementing the P ATHTREE algorithm, good numerical results are obtained in the parameter

This insures the proper construction of the tree to order O(Δt).
3.3.2. Treating Binomial Oscillations
Binomial trees exhibit by construction a systematic oscillatory beha vior as a function of the number
of steps in the tree (equi valently,the number of time slices used to build the tree), and the ne wbuilding
algorithm based on the short-time propag ator of the path-integral representation of the solution of the
Fokker-Planck equation has this same problem. Acommon practice [20] is to perform a verages of runs
with consecuti ve numbers of steps, e.g.,

3.3.3. Inappr opriate Trinomial T ree
Another type of tree is the trinomial tree discussed abo ve,equivalent to the explicit finite dif ference
method [14,15]. If we were to apply this approach to our ne wPATHTREE algorithm, we w ould allowthe
stochastic v ariableSto remain unchanged after time step Δtwith a certain probability pm.Howev er, in
our construction the trinomial tree approach is not correct, as the deterministic path is dominant in the
construction of the probabilities {pu,pm,pd},and we would obtain
Δt→0limpu=pd=0,
Δt→0limpm=1. ( 16)
3.4. Linear and Quadratic Aspects of Numerical Implementation
PATHTREE computes the expected value of a random v ariable at a later time gi venthe diffusion
process and an initial point. The algorithm is similar to a binomial tree computation and it consists of
three main steps: computation of a mesh of points, computation of transition probabilities at those points
and computation of the expected value of the random variable.
The first step is the creation of a one dimensional mesh of points with g aps determined by the
second moment of the short term distribution of the process. The mesh is created sequentially ,starting
from the initial point, by progressi vely adding to the last point already determined (for the upward part of
the mesh) the value of the standard de viation of the short term distribution with the same point as
prepoint. In asimilar fashion we create the mesh do wnwards, this time by subtracting the standard
deviations. The procedure tak es a linear amount of time on the number of time slices being considered
and contributes very little to the o verall time of the algorithm.
In the second step an array of up and down probabilities is created. These probabilities are the
values of the short term transition probability density function obtained by using the current point as
prepoint and the tw oneighboring points as post points. The probabilities are renormalized to sum to
unity.This procedure takes a linear amount of time on the number of time slices. Notice that the
probabilities only depend on the current point and not on time slice, hence only tw oprobabilities are
computed per element of the array of points.
The third step is the computation of the expected value of the random v ariable. F or example, the
option price Cis developed by marching backwards along the tree and applying the risk-neutral
evaluation
C(Si,t−Δt)=e−rΔt[pC(Si+1,t)+qC(Si−1,t)] . (17)
We emphasize ag ain that in Ito ˆterms the prepoint value is Si.This part works as a normal binomial tree
algorithm. The algorithm uses the expected v alues at one time slice to compute the expected values at the
previous one. The bulk of the time is spent in this part of the algorithm because the number of iterations
is quadratic on the amount of time slices. We managed to optimize this part by reducing each iteration to
about 10 double precision operations.
In essence, this algorithm is not slo wer than standard binomial trees and it is very simple to
implement.
4. CALCULA TION OF PROBABILITY
4.1. Direct Calculation of Probability
We can calculate the probability density function by first recursi vely computing the probabilities of
reaching each node of the tree. This can be performed ef ficiently thanks to the Mark ov property.To
compute the density function we need to rescale these probabilities by the distance to the neighboring
nodes: the more spread the nodes are, the lower the density .Wecan estimate the probability density as
follows: First we compute the probability of reaching each final node of the tree. We dothis
incrementally by first computing the probabilities of reaching nodes in time slice 1, then time slice 2 andProbability tree ... -7- I ngber,Chen, Mondescu, Muzzall, Renedo
so forth. At time slice 0, we kno wthat the middle node has probability 1 of being reached and all the
others have probability 0. We compute the probability of reaching a node as a sum of tw ocontributions
from the previous time slice. We reach the node with transition pufrom the node belo wa tthe previous
slice, and with transition pdfrom the node abo ve.Each contribution is the product of the probability at
the previous node times the transition to the current node. This formula is just a discretized version of the
Chapman-Kolmogoro vequation
p(xj,ti)=p(xj−1,ti−1)puj−1+p(xj+1,ti−1)pdj+1.( 18)
Nowthat we ha ve computed the absolute probabilities at the final nodes, we can gi ve a proper
prepoint-discretized estimation of the density by scaling the probabilities by the spread of the S v alues.
Forthe upper half of the tree we di vide the probability of each final node by the size of the lower adjacent
interval in the mesh: densityi=pi/(Si−Si−2). (Note: We use indexSi−2because the binomial tree is
constructed o veratrinomial tree. In this way we can keep in memory all the nodes b ut only half of the
nodes though are true final nodes.) If there is a final middle node we di vide its probability by the a verage
of sizes of the tw oadjacent interv als, that is: densityi=pi/((Si+2−Si−2)/2). For the lower half of the
mesh we divide the probability by the upper adjacent gap in the mesh: densityi=pi/(Si+2−Si).
4.2. Numerical Derivativeso fExpectation of Probability
The probability Pcan be calculated as a numerical deri vative with respect to strik eXof a European
Call option, taking the risk-free rate rto be zero, gi vena nunderlying S0evaluated at time t=0, with
strikeX,and other variables such as v olatilityσ,cost of carry b,and time to e xpiration Tsuppressed here
for clarity, C(S0,0;X),
P[S(T)|S(t0)]
S(T)≡X=P[X|S(t0)]=∂2C
∂X2(19)
This calculation of the probability distrib ution is dependent on the same conditions necessary for
anytree algorithm, i.e., that enough nodes are processed to ensure that the resultant e valuations are a good
representation of the corresponding F okker-Planck equation, addressed abo ve,and that the number of
iterations in P ATHTREE are sufficient for con vergence.
4.2.1. Alter native First Derivative Calculation of Probability
An alternati ve method of calculating the probability Paafirst-order numerical deri vative,instead
of as second-order deri vative,with respect to Xis to define a function CHusing the Hea viside step-
function H(S,X)=1ifS≥Xand 0 otherwise, instead of the Max function at the time to e xpiration.
This yields
P[S(T)|S(t0)]
S(T)≡X=P[X|S(t0)]=−∂CH
∂X(20)
Sometimes this is numerically useful for sharply peaked distributions at the time of expiration, but we
have found the second deri vative algorithm abo ve towork fine with a sufficient number of epochs.
Our tests verify that the three methods abo ve giv ethe same density .Weconsider the numerical-
derivative calculations a very necessary baseline to determine the number of epochs required to get
reasonable accurac y.

5. CONCLUSION
We hav edeveloped a path-integral based binomial P ATHTREE algorithm that can be used in a
variety of stochastic models. This algorithm is simple, fast and can be applied to dif fusion processes with
quite arbitrarily nonlinear drifts and diffusions.
As expected, this P ATHTREE algorithm is not as strong as P ATHINT [4], as PATHINT can include
details of an extremely high dimensional tree with comple xboundary conditions.
ForPATHINT,the time and space variables are determined independently .I.e., the ranges of the
space variables are best determined by first determining the reasonable spread of the distribution at the
final time epoch. ForPATHTREE just one parameter ,the number of epochs N,determines the mesh for
both time and the space v ariables. This typically leads to a growth of the tree, proportional to √ N,much
faster than the spread of the distribution, so that much of the calculation is not rele vant.
However, this PATHTREE algorithm is surprisingly robust and accurate. Similar to P ATHINT,we
expect its accurac yt ob ebest for moderate-noise systems.

Abstract
The electron transfer between an F−ion andCu(111) andAg(111) surfaces is studied by
the wave packet propagation method in order to determine spe cifics of the charge transfer
interaction between the negative ion and the metal surface d ue to the projected band gap. A
new modeling of the F−ion is developed that allows one to take into account the six q uasi-
equivalent electrons of F−which are a priori active in the charge transfer process. The
new model invokes methods of constrained quantum dynamics. The six-electron problem is
transformed to two one-electron problems linked via a const raint. The projection method
is used to develop a wave packet propagation subject to the mo deling constraint. The
characteristics (energy and width) of the ion F−ion level interacting with the two surfaces
are determined and discussed in connection with the surface projected band gap.
1I. INTRODUCTION
When an atom or a molecule is close to a surface of a solid, its e lectrons interact with those
of the solid, leading to the possibility of an electron trans fer between the atom (molecule)
and the solid. This charge transfer process plays a very impo rtant role in a variety of
different situations. In particular, it often occurs as an in termediate step in reactions at sur-
faces (desorption, fragmentation of adsorbates, chemical reactions, quenching of metastable
species, etc.) [1–4]. The one-electron transfer between en ergetically degenerate electronic
levels of the atom and the solid is called the Resonant Charge Transfer (RCT) process.
It is usually considered as the most efficient one among variou s possible charge transfer
interactions. Since a few years the development of accurate theoretical approaches to the
RCT in the case of free electron metal surfaces [5–11] has led to a successful description
of a one-electron transfer in the interaction of ions (atoms ) with such surfaces [12–14]. All
these approaches are based on the description of single elec tron being transferred between
the atom and the surface. As an example, one can mention the ne utralisation of an alkali
positive ion by RCT, even if the possibility of capturing the electron in two different spin
states somewhat alters the one-electron picture [15,16]. H owever, many atoms or molecules
contain more than one electron which can possibly participa te in the charge transfer pro-
cess, especially, when the active electrons occupy the same energy level. The latter has to
be taken into account in any quantitative approach to the RCT [12–17].
For instance, a free fluorine negative ion can be described as a closed 2p6outer electronic
shell with six equivalent electrons, and all of them can part icipate in the RCT when the ion
is close to a metal surface. The effects of each electron canno t be simply added up to get
a total effect. Indeed, consider the loss of an electron by the ion. Any of the six electrons
can be the one that is detached. However, the detachment of on e electron a priori precludes
the detachment of another one. Clearly, the loss of a second e lectron would be a completely
different process because it corresponds to a formation of a p ositive fluorine ion and, hence,
has a different energetics. Such correlations between the ou ter-shell electrons of the F−
2ion must be accounted for in any description of the RCT. In thi s work we show how such
correlations can be modeled by two one-electron systems lin ked via a constraint .
In classical dynamics, constraints appear as some algebrai c relations between generalized
coordinates of a system and their time derivatives (velocit ies), which are to hold for any mo-
ment of time. They are widely used to model, e.g., effects of an environment on a system
in question, or to develop theories with local symmetries (g auge theories) such as electro-
dynamics, general relativity and Yang-Mills theories. Cla ssical constrained dynamics has
been well studied in classical works by d’Alambert, Lagrang e, H¨ older and Gauss (see, e.g.,
Ref. [18] and references therein). In quantum mechanics con straints have been analyzed by
Dirac [19], mainly because of the need of quantizing fundame ntal physical theories with local
symmetries. The question addressed by Dirac was the followi ng:Given a classical system
with constraints, construct a quantum theory which satisfie s the correspondence principle . A
time evolution of a quantum system is described by the evolut ion operator. Its kernel in
the coordinate representation is called a quantum mechanic al propagator. For constrained
systems it is usually obtained by a reduction of the Feynman p hase space path integral onto
the physical phase space, as proposed by Faddeev [20]. There are many subtleties associated
with quantization of constrained systems (see for a review, e.g., [21]).
Here we propose a quantum constrained system which can be use d to model the charge
transfer interaction between an F−ion and a metal surface. The basic idea is to transform
the original six-electron problem to two one-electron prob lems each of which describes a
possible decay channel of the ion. As a consequence of the qua ntum equivalence of the
outer-shell electrons, the effective one-electron systems turn out to be linked onlyby a
constraint. In other words, the entire interaction between the two systems occurs through a
constraint rather than via a local potential. One can also sa y that such a kinematic coupling
of the decay channels is induced by the symmerty of the origin al six-electron problem.
The constraint has a remarkable feature: It does not have a cl assical limit, meaning
that its effects disappear in the formal classical limit ¯ h→0. That is, the dynamical effect
modeled by such a constraint is essentially quantum and cann ot be modeled by any classical
3potential force. In this regard, the canonical quantizatio n scheme for constrained systems
due to Dirac is not applicable here. We develop below a novel c omputational scheme for
a quantum evolution subject to such purely quantum constrai nts. The scheme is based
on the projection formalism introduced earlier by one of us [ 22] within the framework of
gauge theories. Our approach also comprises a novel method t o account for the intra-atomic
correlations within a one-electron description of the char ge transfer interaction between an
F−ion and the Cu(111) andAg(111) surfaces. We demonstrate that the approach turns
out to be very efficient in the wave packet propagation studies .
The choice of the F−/Cu(111) andF−/Ag(111) systems is motivated by several reasons.
The interaction of halogen negative ions with a free-electr on metal surface has already been
studied theoretically within the Coupled Angular Mode appr oach which lead to a quite
satisfactory description of the halogen negative ion forma tion in scattering halogen atoms
by various metal surfaces [12,13]. Recently, on the example of theCu(111) surface it has
been shown that the projected band gap of the (111) surfaces o f noble metals strongly affects
the RCT [23,24]. The point is that in a certain energy range el ectrons cannot propagate
along the normal to the surface (L-band gap in the <111>direction [25]). On the other
hand, the RCT process corresponds to an electron tunneling b etween the atom and the
surface which is favored along the surface normal. In additi on, it was shown that the 2D
electronic continuum of the surface state plays a significan t role, often dominating the RCT
process. The band gap has several consequences. First, ther e exist very long lived states in
the alkali–Cu(111) systems [24,26,27]. Second, there is a parallel veloc ity dependence of the
probability of an electron capture by the atom from Cu(111) surfaces in grazing scattering
experiments that is characteristic of a 2D electronic conti nuum [28]. Third, there exits an
avoided crossing between the energy level of the projectile and the bottom of the surface
state continuum [23]. These effects have been found to depend strongly on the interaction
time [23,29,30]: They only appear for long interaction time s, i.e., for slow collisions.
The freeF−ion energy level is slightly above the bottom of the surface s tate continuum
of theCu(111) andAg(111) surfaces, and therefore, because of the image charge a ttraction,
4it could cross the bottom of the 2D continuum for a finite ion-s urface distance. In the present
work, we investigate the effects of the projected band gap and of the surface state continuum
on theF−-metal charge transfer. In particular, we study the behavio r of the system when
the ion energy level is very close to the bottom of the 2D surfa ce state continuum. A Wave
Packet Propagation (WPP) approach to the RCT [8,23] provide s a quantitative description
of dynamic and static aspects of the F−-surface charge transfer. The latter allows one to
analyze the dependence of the band structure effect upon an in teraction time in the RCT.
II. METHOD
A. A negative ion F−
The free negative ion F−is usually described in the Hartree–Fock approximation as a
closed shell ion with the electronic configuration 1 s22s22p6. Its binding energy is 3.4 eV. In
this approach the outer shell electrons are regarded as equi valent. Their wave function is
given by the corresponding Slater determinant
Φ =1√

where 2psymbolizes a 2 porbital wave function, the superscripts αandβstand for the
two possible spin directions, and the subscript indicates t he magnetic quantum number m
corresponding to the projection of the 2 pangular momentum on the quantization axis. The
Slater determinant (1) can be expanded into a sum of products of wave functions of an ionic
core and an outer electron:
Φ =1√
66/summationdisplay
j=1|Fj|Ajφj=6/summationdisplay
j=1|Gj|φj, (2)
where the five-electron determinant |Fj|describes a state of the fluorine atom F(2P). The
productAjφjcorresponds to the 2 pα,β
morbital, which has been factorised into a spin factor
Ajand a spatial wave function φj=φj(/vector r). The wave function (2) can also be used for
an open shell description of the negative ion of the type 2 p52p′. In this case, the spatial
5wave function φjsingled out in (2) corresponds to the outer 2 p′orbital of the negative ion,
whereas the core wave function |Gj|is formed by the inner 2 porbitals. When analyzing the
electron detachment process in the open shell description, the 2p′orbital is regarded as an
active one.
The representation (2) is particularly well suited for an an alysis of the electron cap-
ture/loss process between a fluorine ion F−and a metal surface since it gives an expansion
of the ion wave function over possible detachment channels. So, we retain the representation
(2) to describe a loss or capture of an electron by the fluorine core
Ψ =/summationdisplay
j|Gj|ψj. (3)
Hereψj=ψj(/vector r) is a wave function of an electron (captured or lost) in the j-channel. Ne-
glecting the spin-orbit interactions and assuming the ion- surface interaction to be invariant
under translations of the ion parallel to the surface, the sy stem becomes invariant under
the spin flip and rotations about the z-axis which is set to be perpendicular to the metal
surface and passing through the ion center. Next, the z-axis is chosen as the quantization
axis. Therefore the states with the z-component of the electron angular momentum ±1 are
degenerate. As a consequence, only two electron wave functi ons are distinct in the repre-
sentation (3). They correspond to the states with m= 0 and |m|= 1. In what follows we
assume that the charge transfer does not affect the neutral co re wave function |Gj|. Only
the outer electron is subject to the RCT dynamics.
Any state of the system can be represented as a two dimensiona l isovector |Ψ/angbracketrightwhose
components are one-electron states corresponding to m= 0 and |m|= 1 (upper and lower
elements of the isovector, respectively). In cylindrical c oordinates ( z,ρ,ϕ ), it can be written
as
/angbracketleft/vector r|Ψ/angbracketright=
ψ0(z,ρ)
ψ1(z,ρ)eiϕ
. (4)
Note that, due to the symmetry of the problem, the ϕdependence can be explicitly given.
Hence, one can limit oneself to studying the z- andρ-dependence of the electron wave packet.

wherep(r) is the radial part of the free-ion orbital and Ylm(θ,ϕ) are the spherical harmonics.
The different normalization factors of the isovector compon ents are due to the fact that the
free ion wave function (2) contains twice as many states with |m|= 1 as with m= 0. The
functionsp(r)Ylm(θ,ϕ) have a unit norm so that /angbracketleftΨF−|ΨF−/angbracketright= 1.
Yet another remark is that the approach outlined above assum es that only an outer
electron can be detached (the detachment occurs through the evolution of the wave functions
ψ0andψ1), i.e., it assumes an open shell description (2 p52p′) of the ion F−. A closed shell
description (2 p6) would correspond to an increase of the charge transfer inte raction by the
factor√
6, and, hence, to an increase of the width by the factor 6 (see a discussion in [16]).
This appears to be better adapted for the halogen negative io n case.
With all the above settings, a modeling of the charge transfe r in theF−-metal system
implies finding a one-electron Hamiltonian that governs a ti me evolution in the Hilbert space
spanned by vectors (4). We take it in the following form
H=T+Vat+VS=Hat+VS. (6)
The operators H,T,Vat,VSandHatare diagonal 2 ×2 matrices, in fact, we choose them
to be proportional to a unit 2 ×2 matrix, with the diagonal elements denoted, respectively ,
H, T, V at, VSandHat. Here,Tis the electron kinetic energy operator, Vatthe potential of
the interaction between an electron and the neutral core, VSthe potential of the electron-
surface interaction, Hat=T+Vat, andH=Hat+VS. The wave functions p(r)Ylm(θ,ϕ) are
eigenfunctions of the one-electron Hamiltonian Hat.
The time evolution of the wave function (4) generated by the H amiltonian (6) is nothing
but the evolution of two independent one-electron wave pack ets. On the other hand, the two
components of the isovector (4) cannot evolve independentl y. Indeed, in the free ion case, the
two components cannot be arbitrarily chosen in order for the state (4) to describe a physical
7free ion. Actually, the radial components of the column elem ents appear to be proportional
to each other with a specific factor (cf. (5)). This relation b etween the two components
comes from the expansion of the Slater determinant (1) which possesses a high symmetry
being the symmetry of a quantum system of identical particle s occupying the same energy
level. The very same symmetry must be preserved in the expans ion (2) and, hence, upon
a reduction of the six-electron description to our one-elec tron formalism. In other words,
there must be a correlation between evolving components of t he isovector corresponding to
the electron states with m= 0 and |m|= 1 thanks to the symmetry of the six-electron
problem. Therefore physically admissible states in the Hil bert space spanned by isovectors
(4) must be subject to some constraints required by the symme try of the original six-electron
problem. This will be a key point of our new approach to the RCT dynamics.
To illustrate the necessity of constraints, consider the ca se when the detachment occurs
in them= 0 channel. Then the bound part of the |m|= 1 channel must also disappear at
the same time because there is only one ion F−which contains both m= 0 and |m|= 1
components. In the Effective Range approach [31] used in the C oupled Angular Mode
(CAM) method [6], this problem has been solved in the followi ng way. One only considers
the wave function of the system given by expression (4) outsi de a spherical region of radius
rc. TheFcore is contained in the region. The boundary condition on th e radial components
ψ0andψ1atr=rccouples the two channels. This approach essentially relies on the use of
spherical coordinates. Here we look for a coordinate indepe ndent description of the channel
mixing that can be efficiently implemented in numerical calculations of the tim e evolution of
the system (wave packet propagation) . The origin of the kinematic coupling of the channels
is now sought in symmetries of the system. It is believed that such an approach is rather
general and could be applied to other many-electron systems where a conventional mean
field approach does not provide a good approximation.
The basic idea is that the Hilbert space spanned by isovector s (4) is too large and contains
states which are physically not acceptable. It is clearly se en already from the fact that the
radial components of the free ion state (5) are not independe nt. We shall then constrain the
8state (4) to allow only one bound ion F−of the form (5). Any other state with components
ψ0∼p(r)Y10(θ,ϕ) andψ1∼p(r)Y11(θ,ϕ) should be forbidden. This corresponds to making
the state (4) orthogonal to the vector
/angbracketleft/vector r|Q/angbracketright=
/radicalig

3p(r)Y10(θ,ϕ)
−/radicalig
1
3p(r)Y11(θ,ϕ)
≡
p0(z,ρ)
−p1(z,ρ)eiϕ
. (7)
Since the state (7) cannot also occur as a virtual (or interme diate) state of the ion in the
time evolution of the system, we demand that the time depende nt wave packet (4) must be
orthogonal to the vector |Q/angbracketright:
/angbracketleftQ|Ψ(t)/angbracketright=/angbracketleftp0|ψ0(t)/angbracketright − /angbracketleftp1|ψ1(t)/angbracketright= 0, (8)
for anyt≥0, where /angbracketleftp0,1|ψ0,1(t)/angbracketrightstands for a standard scalar product (written in cylindrica l
coordinates because the functions p0,1andψ0,1depend onzandρonly).
From the physical point of view the constraint (8) simply mea ns that there is an unwanted
scattering mode in our effective one-electron problem. Alth ough the Hamiltonian may allow
for such a mode, we have given physical reasons to forbid it. T he constraint (8) implies
that the time evolution of the two components of the isovecto r (4) is no longer independent
even though the Hamiltonian (6) does not provide any direct c oupling of them. The link
between the detachment channels with m= 0 and |m|= 1 steams directly from the free ion
structure. It implicitly assumes that the correlation betw een the wave functions ψ0andψ1
in the ion perturbed by an interaction with a metal surface is the same as in the free ion.
Thus, the electronic structure of F−has been modeled by two one-electron problems linked
by the constraint (8).
B. Physical Hamiltonian
Now we face a problem of incorporating the constraint into qu antum dynamics gener-
ated by the Hamiltonian (6). The difficulty is clear. Suppose a n initial state satisfies the
constraint (8). Applying the evolution operator exp( −itH) to it, we immediately observe
9that the evolved state fails to satisfy the constraint. The p rocedure we propose is based on
the projection operator formalism first introduced for gaug e theories [22,32]. It has been
generalized to general constrained systems [33,34] (see al so the review [21]). The key steps
are as follows.
Consider the projection operator
P=I− |Q/angbracketright/angbracketleftQ|, (9)
whereIis the unit operator, I|Ψ/angbracketright=|Ψ/angbracketrightfor any |Ψ/angbracketright. It is easy to convince oneself that the
operator (9) is self-adjoint, P†=P, and satisfies the characteristic property of a projection
operator, P2=P. By construction, the state P|Ψ/angbracketrightsatisfies the constraint (8) for any state
|Ψ/angbracketright. The operator (9) projects any state to the physical subspac e defined by the condition
(8). In particular, P|Q/angbracketright= 0. To eliminate the state |Q/angbracketrightas a possible intermediate state of
the system in the time evolution, the Hamiltonian is project ed onto the physical subspace
H→PHP =Hphys. (10)
The physical Hamiltonian (10) is self-adjoint. Hence the ti me evolution generated by it is
unitary. The state PHP |Ψ/angbracketrightsatisfies the constraint (8). Clearly, the physical Hamilto nian
is nonlocal, in general, even if the original Hamiltonian ha s a standard form of the sum of
potential and kinetic energies. However, classical limits ofHandHphysare the same.
The evolution operator has the form
U(t1,t2) =PT exp/parenleftbigg
−i/integraldisplayt2
t1dτPHP/parenrightbigg
P=Pexp (−itPHP)P, (11)
wheret=t2−t1and T exp stands for the time ordered exponential. The second equality
holds when the Hamiltonian Hdoes not explicitly depend on time. The projection operator s
before and after the exponential in (11) can be omitted if the initial state satisfies the
constraint (8).
The physical Hamiltonian provides the sought-for channel m ixing. To find terms in the
new Hamiltonian which give rise to the channel mixing, we com pute the action of PHP on
a generic state |Ψ/angbracketright. A straightforward computation leads to the following resu lt
10PHP |Ψ/angbracketright=
H|ψ0/angbracketright −λ1(H+λ2)|p0/angbracketright −λ2|p0/angbracketright
H|ψ1/angbracketright −λ1(H+λ2)|p1/angbracketright −λ2|p1/angbracketright
, (12)
λ1=/angbracketleftQ|Ψ/angbracketright=/angbracketleftp0|ψ1/angbracketright+/angbracketleftp1|ψ2/angbracketright,
λ2=/angbracketleftQ|VS|Ψ/angbracketright=/angbracketleftp0|VS|ψ0/angbracketright+/angbracketleftp1|VS|ψ1/angbracketright.
If the state |Ψ/angbracketrightbelongs to the physical subspace then, according to (8), λ1= 0. However,
the action of PHP even on the physical states is not reduced to that of Hbecause the
amplitudeλ2is generally not zero. Thus, after the projection (10) the or iginal Hamiltonian
(6) acquires an additional term
PHP = (H+W)P (13)
W=−|Q/angbracketright/angbracketleftQ|VS. (14)
The operator Wprovides the channel mixing even if the initial state is in th e physical
subspace. The correlation between the two components of |Ψ/angbracketrightis a consequence of the
unbalanced action of the operator VSon the components of |Ψ/angbracketright. It vanishes in the limit of
the free negative ion.
C. Interaction potentials
The potential Vatin the Hamiltonian (6) represents the interaction between t he active
electron and the fluorine neutral core. It is taken as a local m odel potential which depends
on the distance rbetween the electron and the atom center. The potential also includes
a long range polarization interaction. Its explicit form ha s been adjusted to reproduce the
binding energy of the ion F−as well as the mean radius of the p-orbital. The potential reads
Vat=−U0+gr2−ae−r2, r ≤1 ; (15)
Vat=−α
2r4−ae−r2, r> 1,
11whereU0= 5.64,g= 3.76,a= 1.2558 and the atomic polarizability of a fluorine atom
α= 3.76 [35]. All constants are given in the atomic units.
The potential VSin the Hamiltonian (6) describes the interaction of the acti ve electron
with theCu(111) andAg(111) surfaces. It has been proposed by Chulkov et al on the ba sis
of their ab initio studies [36]. This local potential depends only on the elect ron coordinate
zalong the surface normal. Its explicit form can be found in Re f. [36]. Qualitatively,
it is an image charge potential in vacuum which joins smoothl y an oscillating potential
with the period being that of the (111) planes inside the meta l bulk. When describing
an electron motion in the direction perpendicular to the Cu(111) orAg(111) surface, this
potential represents rather well important features of the surface such as the projected band
gap (between -5.83 and -0.69 eV with respect to vacuum for Cuand between -4.96 and
-0.66 eV for Ag), the surface state (5.33 eV and 4.625 eV below vacuum for Cu(111) and
Ag(111), respectively), and the image state energy positions (0.82 eV and 0.77 eV below
vacuum, respectively, for Cu(111) andAg(111)). Since the RCT process mainly favors
transitions around the surface normal, this potential is ex pected to account for the effect of
the pecularities of the Cu(111) andAg(111) surfaces.
In order to illustrate the effects of the projected band gap of theCu(111) andAg(111)
surfaces, we also present results obtained for a free-elect ron description of the metal sur-
face. In this case, the local electron-surface interaction potential corresponds to the Al(111)
surface and is taken from the work of Jennings et al [37].
D. Wave packet propagation
In the wave packet propagation (WPP) approach [8,23], one st udies the time evolution of
an electron wave function /angbracketleft/vector r|Ψ(t)/angbracketrightgenerated by the system Hamiltonian. Here we consider
both the static and dynamic problems. In the former, the dist ance between the ion and the
metal surface is fixed, while in the latter the ion collides wi th the surface. In both cases,
the initial state is the free ion state (5).
12The time evolution can be regarded as a sequence of infinitesi mal time steps generated
by the evolution operator (11)
|Ψ(t+ ∆t)/angbracketright=U(t,t+ ∆t)|Ψ(t)/angbracketright. (16)
Since the initial state |Ψ(t= 0)/angbracketright=|ΨF−/angbracketrightis orthogonal to the vector |Q/angbracketright, i.e., it is in
the physical subspace, we can omit the projection operators to the left and right of the
exponential in (11). So in (11) we take
U(t,t+ ∆t) =e−i∆PHP=e−i∆t(Hat−Ea|Q/angbracketright/angbracketleftQ|+PVSP), (17)
where the property Hat|Q/angbracketright=Ea|Q/angbracketrightof the vector |Q/angbracketrighthas been used; Eais the eigenvalue
ofHatcorresponding to the eigenfunctions p(r)Yl,m(θ,ϕ) withl= 1 andm= 0,±1. For
an infinitesimal time step ∆ t, the action of the evolution operator (17) can be evaluated b y
means of the split operator approximation [38,39]
U(t,t+ ∆t) =e−i∆t
2PVSPe−i∆t(Hat−Ea|Q/angbracketright/angbracketleftQ|)e−i∆t
2PVSP+O(∆t3). (18)
Making use of the commutation relation of Haand|Q/angbracketright /angbracketleftQ|, this representation can be further
simplified
U(t,t+ ∆t) =e−i∆t
2PVSP/braceleftig/parenleftig
ei∆tEa−1/parenrightig
|Q/angbracketright /angbracketleftQ|+I/bracerightig
e−i∆tHate−i∆t
2PVSP+O(∆t3).(19)
The action of the exponential involving VSis evaluated via a Taylor expansion in which four
terms are typically kept for the time step ∆ t= 0.025 atomic units.
The action of the kinetic energy operator is computed in the c ylindrical coordinates
which are well suited to the symmetry of the problem
T=−1
2∂2
∂z2−1
2ρ∂
∂ρρ∂
∂ρ+m2
2ρ2≡Tz+Tρ, (20)
whereTzcontains only the z-derivative. The exponential of Hatin (19) is then transformed
as
e−i∆tHat=e−i∆tHatI=e−i∆t
2(Tz+Vat)e−i∆tTρe−i∆t
2(Tz+Vat)I+O(∆t3). (21)
13Recall that the operator Hatis diagonal in the isotopic two-dimensional space. So, the
operator (21) acts on both components of |Ψ(t)/angbracketrightin the same way. Finally, all the exponentials
in (21) are approximated by means of the Cayley representati on [40]
e−i∆tA=1−i∆t
2A
1 +i∆t
2A+O(∆t3). (22)
In order to accurately reproduce the wave packet variation c lose to the atom center, we use
a mapping procedure [41,42] defined by
z=f(ξ) = 0.05ξ+0.95ξ3
400 +ξ2, (23)
ρ=f(η) = 0.05η+0.95η3
400 +η2,
/angbracketleftz,ρ|Ψ(t)/angbracketright=1√ρ˜Ψ(t,z,ρ).
The wave packet ˜Ψ(t,z,ρ) is evaluated on a 2D mesh of points ( ξk,ηj) of the size
1200×800 with the step size ∆ = 0 .2 atomic units for both the coordinates. At the grid
boundary, an absorbing potential is introduced [43,44] in o rder to avoid the wave packet
reflection.
The kinetic energy operator (20) has to be written in the auxi liary variables ξandηand
then discretized. After the change of variables (23) the ope ratorTρassumes the form
Tρ=−1

J√f∂

whereJ(η) =f′(η) is the Jacobian. The grid in the η-coordinate is set as ηj= ∆/2+∆(j−1).
For every value ξwe have ˜Ψj= Ψ(ξ,ηj), and the action of (24) is defined by the following

Here the subscript j±1/2 means that the corresponding function is taken at the midpo int
ηj±∆/2. A similar expression can be obtained for the action of Tzon the grid ξk=
ξ0+ ∆(k−1).
14In the first series of calculations, we study the static probl em when the ion F−is at a fixed
distanceZfrom the metal surface. The survival amplitude of the ion (th e auto-correlation
of the wave function) is given by
A(t) =/angbracketleftΨ(t= 0)|Ψ(t)/angbracketright. (26)
From the Laplace transform of the function A(t), one can obtain the density of states (DOS)
projected on the free ion wave function. The structure of the DOS yields the energy level and
its width for the negative ion state interaction with the sur face. In what follows, this width
is referred to as the “static width” to emphasize that it is ex tracted from static calculations.
It gives the electron transfer rate between the negative ion and the metal surface in the
static problem.
In the second series of calculations, we study the evolution of the electron wave packet
when a negative fluorine ion collides with the surface. The io n is assumed to approach the
surface along a straight line perpendicular to the surface a t a constant velocity v. Only
the incoming part of the collision is studied. The time depen dence of the wave function
is obtained in the projectile reference frame, i.e., the tim e dependence of the Hamiltonian
occurs through the potential VS. For each collision velocity, the ion survival probability ,
P(t,v) =|A(t,v)|2, is computed. To analyze the dynamics of the charge transfer , we define
an effective width of the negative ion state by
G(Z,v) =−∂log[P(t,v)]
∂t, (27)
whereZ=Z0−vtwithZ0being an initial distance of the ion from the metal surface.
It corresponds to an effective decay rate of the ion when it app roaches the surface with a
velocityv. Comparing G(Z,v) to the level width obtained in the static calculations allo ws
us to see to what extent the dynamical evolution can be descri bed by the static width of
the ion level.
15III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. F−ions interacting with a surface Al(111)
The interaction of an F−ion with an Al(111) surface, where the latter is regarded as a
free-electron metal surface, has already been studied by th e CAM method associated with
the effective range treatment of the negative ion [12,13]. It lead to a successful description
of the negative ion formation in a grazing angle scattering [ 12]. Similarly, for large angle
scattering from Ag(110), and polycrystalline AgandAlsurfaces, a quantitative agreement
with experiment results [14,45] has been obtained [13].
In Figures 1 and 2 we compare the results obtained in the stati c case by two different
methods: The CAM method with effective range treatment of the negative ion and the
present WPP results obtained with the projection formalism . In both cases, the Al(111)
surface is described as a free-electron metal surface using the potential proposed in [37].
Figures 1 and 2 present, respectively, the energy position a nd the width of the F−ion level
interacting with the surface as a function of the ion-surfac e distanceZmeasured from the
image plane. The characteristics of the ion level as a functi on ofZdisplay the behavior
common for atomic species in front of a free-electron surfac e: The energy of the negative ion
state decreases as the ion is placed closer to the surface, wh ich can be anticipated because of
the image charge attraction; The level width increases roug hly exponentially as Zdecreases.
The results obtained by two different methods are extremely c lose to each other. This gives
confidence in the equivalence of the two descriptions of the F−ion. The results for a free-
electronAl(111) surface are used below as a “free electron” reference t o which compare the
Cu(111) andAg(111) results. It appears that the free electron results are almost identical
for the three metals, except at very small distances from the surface.
16B. F−ions interacting with a surface Cu(111). A static case
Figures 3 and 4 present the F−ion level characteristics (energy (Fig.3) and width (Fig.4 ))
as a function of the ion- Cu(111) surface distance. The negative ion level energy exhib its
an avoided crossing around 4 a0from the surface, which is quite different from the smooth
behaviour seen in Figures 1 and 2 for the free-electron metal . This is a direct consequence
of the peculiarities of the Cu(111) surface and a similar situation has already been obser ved
in the case of H- interacting with the same surface [23].
A schematic picture of the electronic structure of the model Cu(111) surface is shown in
Fig. 5. The energy of electronic levels is plotted as a functi on of the electron momentum, k/bardbl,
parallel to the surface. For k/bardblequal to zero, the projected band gap lies within the energy
range from -5.83 to -0.69 eV (with respect to vacuum). Inside the gap, there is a surface
state at -5.33 eV. In the present model of a Cusurface, the dispersion curves of all the metal
electronic states as functions of k/bardblare parabolic with a free-electron mass.
The resonant charge transfer process corresponds to transi tions between the ion level
and metal states of the same energy. At large distances, the F−ion level is degenerate
with the band gap. Therefore it can only decay to metal states with a finite k/bardbli.e. either
to the 2D surface state band, or into 3D propagating states. A sZdecreases, the energy
of the negative ion state decreases and it comes close to the b ottom of the 2D surface
state continuum. The ion can decay by ejecting an electron wi th the angular momentum
m= 0,±1 (the quantization axis is normal to the surface). As explai ned in Ref. [23], a
resonance cannot cross the bottom of a 2D continuum in the sym metrical case m= 0 and
there always exists a bound state below the bottom of the cont inuum. This state has an
avoided crossing with the state which becomes the free ion st ate asZtends to infinity. The
F−ion character is then found to be associated with two differen t states depending on the
Z range. It is transferred from the upper to the lower state wh en going through the crossing
region (decreasing Z). Far from the avoided crossing region, the ion energy level is rather
close to that found in the free electron case.
17As for the width, at large Z, its absolute value for F−in front of the Cu(111) surface is
larger than that in the case of a free-electron surface. This result might appear surprising
since the projected band gap prohibits the electron transfe r from the projectile to the metal
along the surface normal ( k/bardbl= 0) and blocks the RCT into the 3D bulk continuum. Indeed,
as can be seen in Fig. 5, there are no electronic states of the m etal with small k/bardblwhich
are in resonance with the negative ion state. The potential b arrier separating the ion and
the surface attains its least value in the direction normal t o the surface. Therefore, the
surface normal is the preferred direction of the resonant el ectron transfer. One would then
expect that the effect of the projected band gap would be to sta bilize the negative ion level
as compared with the case of a free electron metal. This has in deed been found for H−
interacting with Cu(111) where the width of the H−state was much reduced as compared
to theH−/Al(111) - case [23].
In contrast, we have observed an increase of the fluorine nega tive ion decay rate as
compared to the free-electron metal case. The reason is twof old. First, the 2D surface state
continuum contributes to the decay of F−. Second, a fluorine has a much larger electron
affinity than a hydrogen. Thanks to a better overlap of the wave functions, the 2D surface
state continuum, when energetically allowed, is a dominati ng decay channel for an ion state
lying within the band gap [23,28,46]. Moreover, when the bin ding energy of a negative ion
is close to that of the surface state, a coupling of the ion lev el with the 2D surface state
continuum is more efficient than its coupling with the 3D conti nuum of the free-electron
metal states (see a discussion in [46]). The efficiency of the 2 D surface state continuum as a
decay channel can also be deduced from the sharp decrease of t he level width when passing
through the crossing region as Zdecreases, i.e., when this decay channel becomes closed.
For small values of Z: (i) the 2D surface state continuum does not contribute to th e
decay of the negative ion, and (ii) the energy of the negative ion state is very close to the
bottom of the projected band gap for small k/bardblso that the band structure effect for the decay
into the 3D bulk continuum vanishes. Therefore, we find the wi dth of the level with ionic
character very close to the free-electron results.
18Finally, we can stress that the procedure of extracting the r esonance characteristics
employed here is based on the autocorrelation function (26) using the free F−ion wave
function as the initial state. It converges well for the stat es of an ionic type. Convergence
of the resonance characteristics for other states is difficul t to achieve. This is the reason for
showing only one state far from the crossing region (small or largeZ). In the crossing region,
the ionic character is shared between the lower and upper sta tes so that the characteristics
(energy and width) of both of them can be extracted. Since the convergence is easier to
achieve for the energy of the state, the interval of distance s Z where both states are presented
is larger in Fig.3.
C. F−ions interacting with an Ag(111) surface. Static and dynami c studies
The electronic structures of Ag(111) andCu(111) look rather similar (cf. Figures 5 and
6). However, characteristic features of the electronic str uctures occur at different energies.
The surface state in Ag(111) is located higher in energy than in Cu(111). For this reason
the avoided crossing appears at a larger Zwhere the ion-surface charge transfer interaction
is smaller. As a consequence the avoided crossing could not b e resolved in the energy
dependence because it is localised in a too small range of Z. Therefore, we have chosen to
represent the results for the energy and the width by a single continuous line (Figures 7
and 8, respectively). In fact, the energy of the negative ion state is almost the same as for
the free-electron metal surface. The characteristic chang e of the level width when passing
the crossing region (decreasing Z) is however still perfectly visible. It fully confirms the
dominance of the 2D surface state channel in the F−ion decay at large Z.
At smallZ, theF−ion level is embedded in the 3D propagating states of Agand its
characteristics are very close to those of the free-electro n case. Very close to the surface,
the decrease of the level width as compared to Al(111) free-electron results is caused by the
closeness of the F−level to the bottom of the Ag(111) valence band. As can be seen in Fig.
3b the bottom of the Ag(111) valence band is located at −9.7 eV in our model description
19of theAg(111) surface. For the model free-electron Al(111) case it is located at −15.9 eV.
By studying the time dependent problem, one can find out wheth er the peculiarities of
Ag(111) observed in the static case can still be visible in a col lision ofF−with theAg(111)
surface. We have computed the effective level width G, defined by (27), as a function of
the distance for an ion F−approaching the surface at different velocities. The result s are
displayed in Fig. 9 together with the results of the static ca se forAg(111) and the free-
electron metal surface Al(111). As the collision velocity is increased, the effective width
becomes closer to the free-electron result. This feature is very similar to what we have
found for ions H−interacting with a Cu(111) surface [23]. The system needs a finite time
to react on the presence of the projected band gap. If the coll ision is too fast, the electron
wave packet does not have enough time to “explore” the band st ructure of the metal, and
the ion decay remains identical to that on a free-electron me tal surface.
In contrast, as the collision velocity is decreased, the effe ctive width comes nearer to
the staticAg(111) width. For the smallest velocity used here, 0.0058 ato mic units which
correspond to a collision energy about 16 eV, the effective wi dth is very close to the static one
at largeZ. WhenZis decreased, the effective width fails to perfectly reprodu ce the change
of the behavior associated with the crossing of the bottom of the surface state continuum
for all collision velocities considered here. We can nevert heless see that this variation is
better reproduced as the collision velocity is decreased. I n fact, the dynamical broadening
introduced by the change of the negative ion state energy wit h time [47] makes it impossible
to reproduce a sharp variation of the static width as the ion a pproaches the surface. This
leads to rounded delayed structures displayed in Fig.9. Mor eover, the oscillations of the
effective width at small Zcan tentatively be attributed to the population transfer be tween
the two adiabatic states at the crossing region. From these r esults one can conclude that in
the studied collision energy range, 16 eV – 5 keV, the charge t ransfer rate is intermediate
between the free-electron case and the static Ag(111) case.
The formation of F−ions andH−ions by collision on a Ag(111) surface has been studied
experimentally by Guillemot and Esaulov [29]. When compari ng with results obtained with
20free-electron like surfaces they found that the H−data presents a strong band gap effect.
In particular, the survival probability of the negative ion s leaving the surface was much
larger forAg(111). This was attributed to the blocking of the resonant ch arge transfer in
H−/Ag(111) system, in line with theoretical results obtained for H−/Cu(111) [23] where
the RCT rates are reduced by orders of magnitude compared to t he free-electron case.
At the same time, results obtained with F−ions were approximately consistent with a
description based on the charge transfer rate obtained in th e framework of a free-electron
description of the metal surface. In the energy range studie d in their work, as shown above,
the dynamical behaviour of the charge transfer is intermedi ate between the free-electron and
staticAg(111) limits. This prohibits the use of the simple classical treatment of the parallel
velocity effect [28,48] which was shown to be important for a f ormation of F−, even at rather
low collision energy [13]. Consequently, we cannot quantit atively compare our results with
theirs. Nevertheless, we can notice that in our study the ban d gap effect is reversed and much
smaller in the present system than in the H−/Cu(111) system; it is even partly suppressed
by the ion motion. These findings qualitatively agree with th e experimental results [29].
IV. CONCLUSIONS
We have reported on a study of the electron transfer in the ion -metal systems
F−/Cu(111) andF−/Ag(111). We have developed a new method to describe the effect
of six quasi-equivalent outer-shell electrons of F−on the resonant charge transfer process.
The original six-electron problem has been transformed int o two one-electron problems in
which the dynamics are not independent but rather are linked via a constraint. The projec-
tion formalism for quantum systems with constraints has bee n used to obtain the quantum
mechanical propagator for such a system. This modeling of th e ionF−is simple, efficient
and can easily be implemented in the wave packet propagation approach.
Both theCu(111) andAg(111) surfaces exhibit an electronic structure with a proje cted
band gap in which the ion energy level lies at large ion-surfa ce distances. This peculiarity
21of the electronic structure influences the charge transfer i nteraction with the ion, leading to
a few remarkable features:
•The ion level presents an avoided crossing with the bottom of the surface state con-
tinuum as predicted for a 2D continuum with m= 0. The avoided crossing is very clearly
marked for the system F−/Cu(111).
•Because of the correlation between the six electrons of the F−ion the avoided crossing,
which is a characteristic feature of the symmetric case m= 0, appears in the present system
where electrons in both states with m= 0 and |m|= 1 contribute to the charge transfer.
•When the negative ion level is low in the projected band gap, t he band gap does not
cause a drastic drop of the charge transfer rate as observed i n other systems [23,24]. This
feature of the charge transfer has been attributed to the fol lowing effects: ( i) The band gap
effect is expected to decrease as the projectile level is lowe r in the band gap; ( ii) The decay
to the surface state is favored over the decay to 3D bulk state s because of a greater spatial
overlap of the electron wave function with the surface state ; and ( iii) The polarization of
negative ions does not enhance the band gap stabilization eff ect as it does for neutral atoms
(see a discussion in Ref. [46]).
•At small ion-surface distances, when the negative ion state is not in the band gap or
inside the gap but close to its bottom, the energy and the widt h of the negative ion level
are practically identical to those found in the free-electr on surface case.
•Studies of the corresponding dynamical systems, when the io nF−approaches the
surface, have shown that the above features survive, althou gh partially, over a large collision
energy range.

Introduction It is always a good practice to provide the physical content o f an
analytical result. The following algebraic inequality len ds itself well to this purpose:
For any finite sequence of real numbers r1,r2,...,r N, we have
(r3
1+r3
2+...+r3
N)2≤(r2
1+r2
2+...+r2
N)3. (1)
A standard proof is given in [1]. An alternative proof follow s from the isoperimetric
inequality
A3≥36πV2,
where Ais the surface area and Vthe volume of any three-dimensional body. Setting
the area A=/summationtextN
i=14πr2and the volume V=/summationtextN
i=1(4/3)πr3yields (1).
A Bubble Proof We give yet another proof, now using elements of surface tens ion
theory and ideal gas laws to the formation and coalescence of bubbles. This proof,
found in [2], runs as follows.
According to a well-known result in surface tension theory, when a spherical bubble
of radius Ris formed in the air, there is a difference of pressure between the inside
and the outside of the surface film given by
p=p0+2T
R, (2)
where p0is the (external) atmospheric pressure on the surface film of the bubble, p
is the internal pressure, and Tis the surface tension that maintains the bubble [3].Author 2
Suppose initially that Nspherical bubbles of radii R1,R2,...,R Nfloat in the air
under the same surface tension Tand internal pressures p1,p2,...pN. According to
(2),
pk=p0+2T
Rk, k = 1,2,...N. (3)
Now suppose that all Nbubbles come close enough to be drawn together by surface
tension and combine to form a single spherical bubble of radi usRand internal
pressure p, also obeying Eq. (2). When this happens, the product of the i nternal
pressure pand the volume vof the resulting bubble formed by the coalescence of
the initial bubbles is, according to the ideal gas law [3], gi ven by
pv=p1v1+...+pNvN, (4)
where vk(k=1,2,..., N) are the volumes of the individual bubbles bef ore the coales-
cence took place. For spherical bubbles, (4) becomes
pR3=p1R3
1+...+pNR3
N. (5)
Substituting the values of pandpkgiven in (2) and (3) into (5), we obtain
R3−R3
1−R3
2−...−R3
N=2T
p0(R2
1+R2
2+...+R2
N−R2). (6)
Now, if the total amount of air in the bubbles does not change, the surface area of
the resulting bubble formed by the coalescence of the bubble s is always smaller than
the sum of the surface area of the individual bubbles before c oalescence. Thus,
R2
1+R2
2+...+R2
N≥R2. (7)
Since the potential energy of a bubble is proportional to its surface area, (7) is
a physical condition that the surface energy of the system is minimal after the
coalescence.
It follows from (7) and the fact that p0andTare positive constants that the
left hand side of equation (6) satisfies
R3
1+R3
2+...+R3
N≤R3. (8)
The equality, which implies conservation of volumes, holds when the excess pressure
in the bubble film is much less the atmospheric pressure. Comb ining (7) and (8)
yields the inequality (1), which is also valid for negative n umbers.

ABSTRACT
The most tight conformations of prime knots are found with the use of the SONOalgorithm. Their curvature and torsion profiles are calculated. Symmetry of the knots isanalysed. Connections with the physics of polymers are discussed.
PACS: 87.16 Ac
1. Introduction
From the point of view of topology knots are closed, self-avoiding curves1,2.
Tying a knot in practice we operate on a finite piece of a rope3. At the end of the knot
tying procedure a compact knotted structure with the two loose ends is created. To fix
the knot type we splice the ends of the rope (outside the knotted structure, of course);
without cutting the rope, the knot type cannot be changed. The same knot type fixing
effect is reached if instead of splicing the loose ends we pull them apart and attach to
parallel walls. In what follows we shall refer to such structures as open knots.
Open knots are more common in nature than the closed knots. As indicated by
de Gennes4 such knots are spontaneously tied and untied on polymeric molecules.
Their existence changes considerably macroscopic properties of the materials. In
general, the topological aspects of the microscopic structure of polymeric materials
prove to be an important issue of the physics of polymers5,6,7.
As we know well from the everyday experience, knots tied on a piece of rope
can be tightened by pulling apart its loose ends as much as possible. Obviously, there
is always a limit to such a knot tightening process – a particular conformation of the
knot is reached at which the loose ends cannot be pulled apart any more. We shallrefer to such conformations as the tight open knots. As laboratory experiments prove,
the final conformation of a tightened knot depends on two major factors: the initial
conformation from which the knot tightening procedure starts and the physical
parameters of the rope on which the knot is tied. The rope-rope friction coefficient, its
elasticity constants etc. are to be taken into account. To get rid of such material
dependent parameters we consider below knots tied on the perfect rope. The perfect
rope has from the physical point of view somewhat contradictory properties:
i. it is perfectly hard - to squeeze its circular cross-section into an ellipse the
infinite energy is needed,
ii. it is perfectly flexible - as long as none of its circular cross-sections
overlap no energy is needed to bend it,
iii. it is perfectly slippery - no energy is needed to tighten a knot tied on it.
Introduction of the notion of the perfect rope allows us to define better the subject of
our study. In the same sense introduction of the notion of hard spheres clarified the
formulation of the packing problems.
Take a piece of the perfect rope of length L and tie a knot on it. Stretch the
ends of the rope apart as much as possible and measure the distance L’ between them.
Obviously, L’≤L. The difference L-L’ can be seen as the length of the rope engaged
within the knot. Dividing this value by the diameter D of the used rope we obtain a
dimensionless number Λ known as the open thickness energy8. In the case of closed
knots, in which the ends of the rope are spliced, L’=0. Knots in conformations for
which Λ reaches its global minimum are called ideal9. More detailed, rigorous
analysis of the thickness energy functionals were performed by O ’Hara, Simon,
Rawdon and Millett10. The most tight open conformation of a knot of a given type, i.e.
the conformation at which Λ reaches its global minimum, is an interesting object of
which very little is known. As suggested by the present authors11, peaks within its
curvature profile indicate places at which the real rope would be most prone to
rupture. This hypothesis was verified on the trefoil knots tied on starch gel (spaghetti)
filaments. Below we describe in detail the curvature and torsion profiles of tight open
knots.2. Open knots tied and tighened on the the perfect rope
Perfect ropes do not exist in nature. However, they are easily simulated in
numerical experiments. The algorithm we used in the numerical experiments
described below is SONO (Shrink-On-No-Overlaps) used previously in the search for
the most tight (ideal) conformations of closed knots12.
To demonstrate how SONO algorithm performs the knot tightening task we
present results of a numerical experiment in which the initial conformation of the rope
is so entangled, that at the first sight one cannot decide if it is knotted or not.
Fig. 1 Numerical simulation of axial shrinkage of the perfect rope entangled into a clumsy
overhand knot (the open trefoil knot). Notice that nugatory crossings are easily removedwhile the entanglements due to knotting remain.
As seen in the figure, SONO algorithm performs the disentangling task
without any problems. That the perfect rope is perfectly flexible and that there is no
friction at its self-contact points is here of primary importance.
To compare the approximate values of Λ we obtained in numerical
experiments with a Λ value known precisely, we considered also the case of the Hopf
link for which the length of its open form would simply correspond to the minimal
length of the unopened component threaded by the opened one. As easy to see Λ
equals in this case exactly 2 π. See Figure 2.Figure 2. The ideal open Hopf link.
As laboratory experiments performed by Diao et al. indicated8, Λ varies with
the knot type – different knots reduce the rope length in a different manner. Figure 3
presents the most tight conformations of the open trefoil (3 1) and figure-eight (4 1)
knots tied and tightened by SONO on pieces of rope of identical length L.
Fig. 3 The most tight open conformations of the trefoil (3 1) and figure-eight (4 1) knots tied
on pieces of the rope of the same length.
Clearly, in accordance with laboratory experiments described in ref.8, the trefoil knot
engages less rope than the figure-eight knot. The values of Λ we obtained for these
knots are, respectively, 10.1 and 13.7 ( ± 0.05). Values provided by Diao et al.8 are
significantly larger: 10.35 and 14.65. The difference between results obtained in
laboratory and numerical experiments exceeds errors specified by the authors. Most
probably problems with friction encountered in experiments performed on real ropes
do not allow one to enter the most tight conformations of the knots accessible in
numerical experiments performed on perfect ropes. Table I shows the Λ values we
found for the most tight closed and open conformations of a few prime knots. Toprovide a natural Λ unit, we included into the table also the rigorous value of Λ known
for the Hopf link Interestingly enough, the difference of length of the most tightclosed and open forms proves to be very close to 2 π also for several other chiral knots.
On the other hand, for achiral knots, 4 1 and 6 3, the differences are significantly
different.

3. Symmetry of the curvature and torsion maps of the 3 1 and 4 1 open knots
Calculating the curvature and torsion of a smooth (differentiable twice) curve
defined by analytical formulae is a trivial task. On the other hand, the determination
of the curvature and torsion maps of the knots simulated in numerical experiments is
extremely susceptible to the inaccuracies with which positions of the consecutive
points of the simulated knot are given. To find the curvature, the first and second
derivatives must be known. In the case of torsion, the third derivative is also needed.
The discrete differentiation procedures reveal a considerable noise present within the
curvature and torsion maps. To get rid of the noise, we took averages over a large set
of the maps calculated in long runs in which the tightened knot was moving slowly
there and back along the simulated rope. The slow oscillatory motion of the knot was
introduced on purpose to minimise effects stemming from the discrete structure of the
simulated rope. Figure 4 presents consecutive curvature maps registered in a short
interval cut out from one of such runs. Averaging the instantaneous curvature maps
within a reference frame which moves together with the knot we obtain curvature
maps which are much better defined. Figure 5 presents such maps found for the most
tight 3 1 and 4 1 knots. The knots were tied on the numerically simulated perfect rope
consisting of 200 segments of equal length.Fig.4 Curvature maps of the 3 1 knot registered in a numerical experiment in which the
tightened knot was slowly moving there and back along the simulated rope.
The plots display a few interesting features which we shall discuss below
emphasising those of them, which according to us may survive in the limit of the most
tight open conformations.
Let us start with the discussion of the curvature profiles. Within some
accuracy limits, both profiles can be seen as consisting of two mirror symmetrical
parts. We assume here that the external zero curvature regions are extended to
infinity. The curvature profile of e.g. the 3 1 knot seen from both ends of the knot
looks almost identical. If by the curvature profile we understand the curvature κ as a
function of the arc length l, this symmetry property can be expressed as follows: in the
middle of the knot there exists such a point lm, that on the left and on the right of it
curvature profiles are identical κ(lm+ε) = κ(lm-ε).
In the case of the numerically simulated discretized knots the mirror symmetry
is not exact. It seems to us, and we would like to express it as a conjecture, that in the
case of the ideal open conformations of both 3 1 and 4 1 knots the mirror symmetry of
the curvature profile should be exact. Mirror symmetry of the curvature profile
reflects the twofold rotational symmetry of the open knot conformation. Let us note
here that the point symmetry elements of the closed ideal conformations of the 3 1 and
41 knots are different.
One of the most distinct local features of the both curvature landscapes are the
double peaks visible at the entrance to the knots. As described previously, the inner
peak develops only at the final stage of the tightening process11. Laboratoryexperiments prove that at the points of high curvature the filaments, on which knots
are tied, are most susceptible to breaking.
Fig. 5 The most tight open trefoil (3 1) and figure-eight (4 1) knots together with their maps of
curvature and torsion.
a) The trefoil knot shown in the figure (left) is of right-handed type and like other chiral
knots cannot be converted into its mirror image.
b) The map of curvature of the open trefoil knot shows a mirror symmetry (mirror plane is
vertical and is in the centre of the map) thus, an identical map of curvature would beobtained for the left handed enantiomer of this knot. The curvature is normalised in
respect to the diameter of tightly knotted tubes: value 1 is attained when the local radius
of curvature corresponds to the diameter of the tube, value 2 would correspond to theradius of curvature being equal to the radius of the tube (points of sharp reversals).
c) The map of torsion of the open trefoil knot shows also a mirror symmetry, thus, for left-
handed enantiomer the map of torsion would be reversed along the vertical axis.
d) Figure eight knot is achiral and is easily convertible into its mirror image (see Fig. 6).
e) The map of curvature of the open figure eight knot shows perfect mirror symmetry and
thus has no polarity.
f) The map of torsion of the open figure eight knot shows a clear polarity - the passage
from the left to right is different from this from the right to left. The total torsion ishowever zero as it is expected for an ideal form of achiral knot.
The maps of torsion show important differences between chiral 31 knot and
achiral 41 knot. The map of torsion of the 3l knot shows a mirror symmetry while the
torsion map of the achiral knot 41 shows a symmetry of different kind: in the middle
of the knot there exists such a point lm, that on the left and on the right of it torsion
profiles are of identical magnitude but of an opposite sign κ(lm+ε) = -κ(lm-ε). Thus,
observing the torsion we can distinguish between the two ends of this knot. Takinginto account curvature and torsion, which provide the complete descriptors of a given
trajectory, we see that a time reversed travel through a chiral knot 31 is
indistinguishable from the original one. In contrast to that, in the achiral 41 knot we
can distinguish between time reversed travels – the signs of the torsion component
appear during the travels in the reversed order. In the 41 knot the time reversed travel
is identical with the not reversed travel along the mirror image of the original knot
(the mirror reflection changes left-handed regions into right-handed and contrary). As
could be expected for achiral knots the total torsion cancels to zero while this ofcourse is not the case for achiral knots. It may seem surprising that achiral knots 4
1
are in fact polar while this is not the case for a chiral knot 31. Interestingly, the ideal
open configuration of 41 knot is congruent with its mirror image. Figure 6.
Fig.6 Congruency of the open 4 1 knot with its mirror image. Rotation by π/2 is followed by a
mirror reflection.
Although, by definition, all achiral knots can be continuously converted into their
mirror images there is only a small subset of their configurations which upon rigidtransformation are congruent with their mirror images
14.
4. The problem of the local minima
Several independent starting configurations of such simple knots as 31 or 41
were converted during our simulations to configurations essentially identical to those
shown in Fig. 3. This was, however, not the case for more complicated knots. Fig.7
shows what happens when the most tight closed configuration of 52 knot is opened in
three different positions and the ends are pulled apart. Three different finalconfigurations are obtained and to pass from one to another the string has to be
loosened and loops have to be moved along the knot. Apparently the three different
configurations constitute different local minima in the configuration space of tight
open knots. Interestingly the nice symmetrical configuration shown in Fig. 7a causes
biggest effective shortening of the string and is thus furthest from the global minimum.
The configuration shown on Fig. 7c may in fact represent a global minimum for this
knot as its effective shortening of the tube is smallest. This configuration does not
show any symmetry.
Fig. 7 Three different local minima in the configuration space of open knots 52. (a) Knot 52
in its most tight closed configuration. Three distinct sites 1, 2 and 3 were used to open the
knot. (b), (c), (d) The local minima configurations obtained upon opening the closed knot in
sites 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Notice that the symmetrical conformation 1 engages more ofthe rope length than the other two configurations. The conformation 3 representspresumably a global minimum and thus would corresponds to an ideal open configuration of5
2 knot.
Fig. 8 Local minima conformations of the 6 3 knot. Notice the symmetry of the conformation
marked as (d). See text for its discussion.To check if symmetrical configurations may constitute local minima in
configuration space of more complex tight open knots we took the most tight closed
configuration of achiral knot 6 3 and opened it in different positions. See Fig. 8. Upon
pulling apart the opened ends we noticed that one of the openings led to a nice regular
form congruent with its mirror image. It seems to us that this form constitutes the
global minimum.
5. Discussion
Perfect ropes do not exist in nature, but polymeric molecules are not far from
being perfect. Put into the perpetual motion by thermal fluctuations they never get
blocked by friction which plays such an important role in the macroscopic world
allowing, for instance, to stop the huge mass of a docking ship with a rope tied in an
appropriate manner (round turn and two half hitches) to the bollard15. Time averaged
conformations of the open knots tied on polymeric molecules are very similar to the
ideal open knots we considered above. In particular, the length of the molecular rope
engaged within such knots should be directly related to the Λ value we calculated.
Properties of the knotted molecules are essentially different form the unknotted ones.
For instance, their gel mobility coefficients are essentially different16,17. In general,
polymeric materials in their phases in which the fraction of knotted molecules is
considerable, should display interesting physical properties4. When the polymer
technology will provide us with such materials is difficult to predict today. Certainly,
the properties of a polymer, whose all molecules are tied into right-handed trefoil
knots will be different from the polymer within which all the knots are left-handed.

A theoretical analysis of electromagnetic forces on neutra l particles in an hollow waveguide is
presented. We show that the effective scattering cross secti on of a very small (Rayleigh) particle
can be strongly modified inside a waveguide. The coupling of t he scattered dipolar field with the
waveguide modes induce a resonant enhanced backscattering state of the scatterer-guide system
close to the onset of new modes. The particle effective cross s ection can then be as large as the
wavelength even far from any transition resonance. As we wil l show, a small particle can be strongly
accelerated along the guide axis while being highly confined in a narrow zone of the cross section of
the guide.

Demonstration of levitation and trapping of micron-
sized particles by radiation pressure dates back to 1970
and the experiments reported by Ashkin and co-workers
[1]. Since then, manipulation and trapping of neutral
particles by optical forces has had a revolutionary im-
pact on a variety of fundamental and applied studies in
physics, chemistry and biology [2]. These ideas were ex-
tended to atoms and molecules where radiation pressure
can be very large due to the large effective cross section
(of the order of the optical wavelength) at specific res-
onances [1,3]. When light is tuned close to a particular
transition, optical forces involves (quantum) absorption
and reradiation by spontaneous emission as well as co-
herent (classical) scattering of the incoming field with
the induced dipole [4]. Selective control of the strong in-
terplay between these two phenomena is the basis of laser
cooling and trapping of neutral atoms [5].
However, far from resonance, light forces on atoms,
molecules and nanometer sized particles are, in general,
very small. Here we show that the scattering cross sec-
tion of a very small (Rayleigh) particle can be strongly
modified inside a waveguide. The coupling of the scat-
tered dipolar field with the waveguide modes induce a
resonant enhanced backscattering state of the scatterer-
guide system close to the onset of new modes. Just at
the resonance, the effective cross section becomes of the
order of the wavelength leading to an enhanced resonant
radiation pressure which does not involve any photon ab-
sorption phenomena. As we will show, a small particle
not only can be strongly accelerated along the guide axis
but it can also be highly confined in a narrow zone of the
cross section of the guide.
For the sake of simplicity we consider a two-
dimensional xzwaveguide with perfectly conducting
walls and cross section D. The particle is then repre-
sented by a cylinder located at /vector r0= (x0, z0) with its axis
along oyand radius much smaller than the wavelength(see top of Fig.1). However, apart from some depolar-
ization effects, the analysis contain the same phenomena
as the full three-dimensional problem [6] and hence it
permits an understanding of the basic physical processes
involved in the optical forces without loss of generality.
An s-polarized electromagnetic wave is assumed (the
electric field parallel to the cylinder axis), /vectorE(/vector r) =
exp(−iωt)E0(/vector r)/vector ywith wavevector k=ω/c =
2π/λ. For a single-mode waveguide ( D/2< λ ≤
D), the incoming electric field can be written as
the sum of two interfering plane waves: E0(/vector r) =
E0(exp(ikzz+ikxx)−exp(ikzz−ikxx)) where kz=
kcos(θ),kx=ksin(θ) =π/D. The scatterer can be
characterized by the scattering phase shift δ0or by its
polarizability αand Rayleigh scattering cross section σ
[7,8]. The time average force /vectorFcan be written as the
sum of an optical gradient force and a scattering force:
[9]:
/vectorF=/braceleftBigg
1
4α/vector∇|Einc|2+/angb∇acketleft/vectorS/angb∇acket∇ight
cσ/bracerightBigg
/vector r=/vector r0(1)
where Eincis the total incident field on the particle and
/angb∇acketleft/vectorS/angb∇acket∇ightis the time average Poynting vector.
If we neglect the multiple scattering effects between the
scatterer and the waveguide walls, the interaction would
be equivalent to that of a particle placed in the interfer-
ence pattern of two crossed plane wave beams. In this
caseEinc=E0and the theory of radiation pressure in a
waveguide is straightforward. The longitudinal force F0
z
(per unit length) can be written in terms of the average
power density of the incident beams, /angb∇acketleftS/angb∇acket∇ight=ǫ0c|E0|2, as
F0
z= 2σǫ0|E0|2cos(θ)sin2(πx0
D) (2)
which is maximum ( F0
zmax= 2σǫ0|E0|2cos(θ)) just in
middle of the waveguide. The transversal force induces
an optical potential along xgiven by:
1U0
x=−α|E0|2sin2(πx0/D). (3)
which, for α >0, confines the particle near the center of
the waveguide. This is the two-dimensional analogue of
previous approaches on laser-guiding of atoms and par-
ticles in hollow-core optical fibers [10–12] where the in-
teraction of the dipole field with the guide walls was ne-
glected.
The scattering with the waveguide walls may induce
however a dramatic effect on the optical forces on the
particle. The scatterer radiates first a dipole field gen-
erated by the field of the incoming mode E0. Then, the
scattered field, perfectly reflected by the waveguide walls,
goes back to the scatterer changing the field inciding on
the scatterer and so on. This multiple scattering process
can be regarded as produced by a set of infinite image
dipoles [13,14]. From the exact solution for the total
field together with equation (1), we found that, for a sin-
gle mode waveguide, the forward component of the force
Fzcan be written in terms of the waveguide transmit-
tance T(defined as the ratio between the outgoing and
incoming energy flux; 0 ≤T≤1) as:
Fz= 2Dǫ0|E0|2cos2(θ)(1−T(x0)) (4)
where Tdepends on the transversal position of the par-
ticlex0.
The transmission coefficient Thad been discussed be-
fore in the context of electronic conductance of quasi-one-
dimensional conductors with point-like attractive impuri -
ties [13–16]. Tpresents two peculliar properties: i)when
D/λis just at the onset of a new propagating mode,
the scatterer becomes transparent; ii)interestingly, when
D/λis close but still below a mode threshold, the trans-
mittance of a single mode waveguide presents a dip down
to exactly T= 0. This backscattering resonance, that
was associated to the existence of a quasi-bound state in-
duced by the attractive impurity [15,14], can be achieved
for any attractive scattering potential of arbitrarily sma ll
strength [14], i.e. for arbitrarily small polarizability α
and cross section σ[8]. This resonance has a pronounced
effect on the radiation forces.
In Fig. 2 we plot the transmission coefficient as a
function of both the waveguide width, D/λ, and the
scatterer position x0forδ0= 10o. Near the thresh-
old of the second mode ( D/λ<∼1),Tpresents sharp
dips (down to T= 0) at some particular positions of
the scatterer. Just at the enhanced backscattering res-
onances, the longitudinal force present strong maxima
Fzmaxwhich can be compared with F0
zmax(the maximum
force obtained neglecting the interactions with the walls)
Fzmax/F0
zmax= cos( θ)D/σ(see Fig. 3), i.e. at reso-
nance the interaction cross section of the particle in the
waveguide can be as large as the total cross section of the
waveguide independently of its value σin the unbounded
space. The force enhancement factor can be huge: for
δ0= 10o(σ≈20nm) and at micron wavelengths, itis of the order of 50, while for a nanometer scale par-
ticle ( δ0≈2o) this enhancement would be ≈103for
two-dimensions, but ≈106in true three-dimensional sys-
tems! This result is rigurously true for perfect walls. In
actual waveguides however, the radiation losses through
the walls and the scattering with surface defects [17] may
modify the resonace behaviour for σvalues comparable
to the surface roughness.
The resonance is related to the strong coupling be-
tween the incoming mode and the first evanescent mode
in the waveguide. This can be seen by plotting the field
intensity inside the waveguide for different particle po-
sitions (Fig. 1). At the resonance, the field around the
particle corresponds to that of the second mode in the
waveguide (with a node in the waveguide axis) which de-
cay far from the defect. When the particle is located
at the middle of the waveguide, there is no coupling of
the scattered field with the first evanescent mode and Fz
presents a minimum.
Transversal forces are also strongly affected by the
resonances. Although the main contribution to these
forces come from polarization effects (i.e. proportional to
∇|Einc|2), in contrast with the free space case, the lateral
forces have also a contribution of pure scattering origin
due to the reflections of the flux from the walls. The in-
duced transversal confining potential far from the mode
threshold presents a single well similar to that discussed
for the unbound system. However, near the resonance
condition it presents two strong minima reflecting the
excitation of the evanescent mode. In Fig. 3 we plot the
normalized longitudinal force Fzand transverse confining
potential Ux. The particle will be strongly confined in a
small region inside the waveguide where the forward lon-
gitudinal force is maximum. For example, for δ0= 10o
and at micron wavelengths, the potential well is more
than one order of magnitude deeper than that obtained
for the unbound system.
In summary, we have discussed the electromagnetic
forces on small neutral particles in a hollow waveguide.
In contrast with standard resonance radiation forces, the
waveguide-particle backscattering resonances discussed
here do not involve photon absorption processes and, we
believe, open intriguing posibilities of atom and molecule
manipulation. Specifically, the depth of the potential
wells for the particle in resonant conditions and its re-
markably large cross section suggest stable guiding of the
particle along the waveguide with extremely large accel-
erations.

Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a scaling analysis m ethod used to estimate long-range
power-law correlation exponents in noisy signals. Many noi sy signals in real systems display trends,
so that the scaling results obtained from the DFA method beco me difficult to analyze. We system-
atically study the effects of three types of trends — linear, p eriodic, and power-law trends, and offer
examples where these trends are likely to occur in real data. We compare the difference between the
scaling results for artificially generated correlated nois e and correlated noise with a trend, and study
how trends lead to the appearance of crossovers in the scalin g behavior. We find that crossovers
result from the competition between the scaling of the noise and the “apparent” scaling of the trend.
We study how the characteristics of these crossovers depend on (i) the slope of the linear trend;
(ii) the amplitude and period of the periodic trend; (iii) th e amplitude and power of the power-law
trend and (iv) the length as well as the correlation properti es of the noise. Surprisingly, we find that
the crossovers in the scaling of noisy signals with trends al so follow scaling laws — i.e. long-range
power-law dependence of the position of the crossover on the parameters of the trends. We show
that the DFA result of noise with a trend can be exactly determ ined by the superposition of the
separate results of the DFA on the noise and on the trend, assu ming that the noise and the trend
are not correlated. If this superposition rule is not follow ed, this is an indication that the noise
and the superimposed trend are not independent, so that remo ving the trend could lead to changes
in the correlation properties of the noise. In addition, we s how how to use DFA appropriately to
minimize the effects of trends, and how to recognize if a cross over indicates indeed a transition from
one type to a different type of underlying correlation, or the crossover is due to a trend without any
transition in the dynamical properties of the noise.
I. INTRODUCTION
Many physical and biological systems exhibit com-
plex behavior characterized by long-range power-law cor-
relations. Traditional approaches such as the power-
spectrum and correlation analysis are not suited to accu-
rately quantify long-range correlations in non-stationar y
signals — e.g. signals exhibiting fluctuations along poly-
nomial trends. Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA)
[1–4] is a scaling analysis method providing a simple
quantitative parameter — the scaling exponent α— to
represent the correlation properties of a signal. The ad-
vantages of DFA over many methods are that it per-
mits the detection of long-range correlations embedded
in seemingly non-stationary time series, and also avoids
the spurious detection of apparent long-range correla-
tions that are artifact of non-stationarity. In the past
few years, more than 100 publications have utilized the
DFA as method of correlation analysis, and have uncov-
ered long-range power-law correlations in many research
fields such as cardiac dynamics [5–23], bioinformatics
[1,2,24–34], economics [35–47], meteorology [48–50], ge-
ology [51], ethology [52] etc. Furthermore, the DFA
method may help identify different states of the same
system according to its different scaling behaviors — e.g.
the scaling exponent αfor heart inter-beat intervals is
different for healthy and sick individuals [14,16,17,53].
The correct interpretation of the scaling results ob-
tained by the DFA method is crucial for understandingthe intrinsic dynamics of the systems under study. In
fact, for all systems where the DFA method was applied,
there are many issues that remain unexplained. One
of the common challenges is that the correlation expo-
nent is not always a constant (independent of scale) and
crossovers often exist — i.e. change of the scaling expo-
nentαfor different range of scales [5,16,35]. A crossover
usually can arise from a change in the correlation proper-
ties of the signal at different time or space scales, or can
often arise from trends in the data. In this paper, we sys-
tematically study how different types of trends affect the
apparent scaling behavior of long-range correlated sig-
nals. The existence of trends in times series generated by
physical or biological systems is so common that it is al-
most unavoidable. For example, the number of particles
emitted by a radiation source in an unit time has a trend
of decreasing because the source becomes weaker [54,55];
the density of air due to gravity has a trend at different
altitude [56]; the air temperature in different geographic
locations and the water flow of rivers have a periodic
trend due to seasonal changes [49,50,57–59]; the occur-
rence rate of earthquakes in certain area has trend in
different time period [60]. An immediate problem fac-
ing researchers applying scaling analysis to time series
is whether trends in data arise from external conditions,
having little to do with the intrinsic dynamics of the sys-
tem generating noisy fluctuating data. In this case, a
possible approach is to first recognize and filter out the
trends before we attempt to quantify correlations in the
1noise. Alternatively, trends may arise from the intrinsic
dynamics of the system, rather than being an epiphe-
nomenon of external conditions, and thus may be corre-
lated with the noisy fluctuations generated by the sys-
tem. In this case, careful considerations should be given
if trends should be filtered out when estimating correla-
tions in the noise, since such ”intrinsic” trends may be
related to the local properties of the noisy fluctuations.
Here we study the origin and the properties of
crossovers in the scaling behavior of noisy signals, by ap-
plying the DFA method first on correlated noise and then
on noise with trends, and comparing the difference in the
scaling results. To this end, we generate artificial time
series — anti-correlated, white and correlated noise with
standard deviation equal to one — using the modified
Fourier filtering method introduced by Makse et al. [63].
We consider the case when the trend is independent of
the local properties of the noise (external trend). We find
that the scaling behavior of noise with a trend is a su-
perposition of the scaling of the noise and the apparent
scaling of the trend, and we derive analytical relations
based on the DFA, which we call “superposition rule”.
We show how this “superposition rule” can be used to
determine if the trends are independent of the noisy fluc-
tuation in real data, and if filtering these trends out will
no affect the scaling properties of the data.
The outline of this paper is as follows. In Sec.II, we re-
view the algorithm of the DFA method, and in Appendix
A we compare the performance of the DFA with the clas-
sical scaling analysis —Hurst’s analysis (R/S analysis)—
and show that the DFA is a superior method to quan-
tify the scaling behavior of noisy signals. In Sec. III,
we consider the effect of a linear trend and we present
an analytic derivation of the apparent scaling behavior
of a linear trend in Appendix C. In Sec. IV, we study
a periodic trend, and in Sec. V the effect of power-law
trend. We systematically study all resulting crossovers,
their conditions of existence and their typical character-
istics associated with the different types of trends. In
addition, we also show how to use DFA appropriately to
minimize or even eliminate the effects of those trends in
cases that trends are not choices of the study, that is,
trends do not reflect the dynamics of the system but are
caused by some “irrelevant” background. Finally, Sec. VI
contains a summary.
II. DFA
To illustrate the DFA method, we consider a noisy time
series, u(i) (i= 1, .., N max). We integrate the time series
u(i),
y(j) =j/summationdisplay
i=1(u(i)−< u > ), (1)
where< u > =1
NmaxNmax/summationdisplay
j=1u(i), (2)
and is divided into boxes of equal size, n. In each box, we
fit the integrated time series by using a polynomial func-
tion,yfit(i), which is called the local trend. For order- ℓ
DFA (DFA-1 if ℓ= 1, DFA-2 if ℓ= 2 etc.), ℓorder poly-
nomial function should be applied for the fitting. We
detrend The integrated time series, y(i) by subtracting
the local trend yfit(i) in each box, and we calculate the
detrended fluctuation function
Y(i) =y(i)−yfit(i). (3)
For a given box size n, we calculate the root mean square
(rms) fluctuation
F(n) =/radicaltp/radicalvertex/radicalvertex/radicalbt1
NmaxNmax/summationdisplay
i=1[Y(i)]2(4)
The above computation is repeated for box sizes n(dif-
ferent scales) to provide a relationship between F(n) and
n. A power-law relation between F(n) and the box size
nindicates the presence of scaling: F(n)∼nα. The
parameter α, called the scaling exponent or correlation
exponent, represents the correlation properties of the sig -
nal: if α= 0.5, there is no correlation and the signal is an
uncorrelated signal (white noise); if α <0.5, the signal is
anti-correlated; if α >0.5, there are positive correlations
in the signal.
III. NOISE WITH LINEAR TRENDS
First we consider the simplest case: correlated noise
with a linear trend. A linear trend
u(i) =ALi (5)
is characterized by only one variable — the slope of the
trend, AL. For convenience, we denote the rms fluctu-
ation function for noise without trends by Fη(n), linear
trends by FL(n), and noise with a linear trend by FηL(n).
A. DFA-1 on noise with a linear trend
Using the algorithm of Makse [63], we generate cor-
related noise with standard deviation one, with a given
correlation property characterized by a given scaling ex-
ponent α. We apply DFA-1 to quantify the correlation
properties of the noise and find that only in certain good
fit region the rms fluctuation function Fη(n) can be ap-
proximated by a power-law function [see Appendix A]
Fη(n) =b0nα(6)
2where b0is a parameter independent of the scale n. We
find that the good fit region depends on the correlation
exponent α[see Appendix A]. We also derive analyti-
cally the rms fluctuation function for linear trend only
for DFA-1 and find that [see Appendix C]
FL(n) =k0ALnαL(7)
where k0is a constant independent of the length of trend
Nmax, of the box size nand of the slope of the trend AL.
We obtain αL= 2.

FIG. 1. Crossover behavior of the root mean square fluc-
tuation function FηL(n) for noise (of length Nmax= 217and
correlation exponent α= 0.1) with superposed linear trends
of slope AL= 2−16,2−12,2−8. For comparison, we show Fη(n)
for the noise (thick solid line) and FL(n) for the linear trends
(dot-dashed line) (Eq.(7)). The results show that a crossov er
at a scale n×forFηL(n). For n < n ×, the noise dominates
andFηL(n)≈Fη(n). For n > n ×, the linear trend domi-
nates and FηL(n)≈FL(n). Note that the crossover scale n×
increases when the slope ALof the trend decreases.
Next we apply the DFA-1 method to the superposi-
tion of a linear trend with correlated noise and we com-
pare the rms fluctuation function FηL(n) with Fη(n) [see
Fig.1]. We observe a crossover in FηL(n) at scale n=n×.
Forn < n ×, the behavior of FηL(n) is very close to the
behavior of Fη(n), while for n > n ×, the behavior of
FηL(n) is very close to the behavior of FL(n). A sim-
ilar crossover behavior is also observed in the scaling
of the well-studied biased random walk [61, 62]. It is
known that the crossover in the biased random walk is
due to the competition of the unbiased random walk and
the bias [see Fig.5.3 of [62]]. We illustrate this observa-
tion in Fig. 2, where the detrended fluctuation functions
(Eq. (3)) of the correlated noise, Yη(i), and of the noise
with a linear trend, YηL(i) are shown. For the box size
n < n ×as shown in Fig. 2(a) and (b), YηL(i)≈Yη(i).
Forn > n ×as shown in Fig. 2(c) and (d), YηL(i) has dis-tinguishable quadratic background significantly different
fromYη(i). This quadratic background is due to the inte-
gration of the linear trend within the DFA procedure and
represents the detrended fluctuation function YLof the
linear trend. These relations between the detrended fluc-
tuation functions Y(i) at different time scales nexplain
the crossover in the scaling behavior of FηL(n): from very
close to Fη(n) to very close to FL(n) (observed in Fig.1).

for scales n < n ×the effect of the trend is not pronounced
andYη≈YηL(i.e.Yη≫YL); (c)(d) for scales n > n ×, the

The experimental results presented in Figs.1 and 2 sug-
gest that the rms fluctuation function for a signal which
is a superposition of a correlated noise and a linear trend
can be expressed as:
[FηL(n)]2= [FL(n)]2+ [Fη(n)]2(8)
We provide an analytic derivation of this relation in Ap-
pendix B, where we show that Eq.(8) holds for the super-
position of any two independent signals — in this particu-
lar case noise and a linear trend. We call this relation the
“superposition rule”. This rule helps us understand how
the competition between the contribution of the noise
and the trend to the rms fluctuation function FηL(n) at
different scales nleads to appearance of crossovers [61].
Next, we ask how the crossover scale n×depends on:
(i) the slope of the linear trend AL, (ii) the scaling ex-
ponent αof the noise, and (iii) the length of the signal
Nmax. Surprisingly, we find that for noise with any given
correlation exponent αthe crossover scale n×itself fol-
lows a power-law scaling relation over several decades:
n×∼(AL)θ(see Fig. 3). We find that in this scaling re-
lation, the crossover exponent θis negative and its value
3depends on the correlation exponent αof the noise — the
magnitude of θdecreases when αincreases. We present
the values of the “crossover exponent” θfor different cor-
relation exponents αin Table I.

FIG. 3. The crossover n×ofFηL(n) for noise with a lin-
ear trend. We determine the crossover scale n×based on the
difference ∆ between log Fη(noise) and log FηL(noise with
a linear trend). The scale for which ∆ = 0 .05 is the esti-
mated crossover scale n×. For any given correlation exponent
αof the noise, the crossover scale n×exhibits a long-range
power-law behavior n×∼(AL)θ, where the crossover expo-
nentθis a function of α[see Eq.(9) and Table I].

power-law relation between the crossover scale n×and
the slope of the linear trend AL—n×∼(AL)θ—for dif-
ferent values of the correlation exponents αof the noise

are in good agreement with the analytical prediction
−1/(2−α) [Eq. (9)]. Note that −1/(2−α) are not
always exactly equal to θbecause Fη(n) in simulations
is not a perfect simple power-law function and the way
we determine numerically n×is just approximated.

0.3 -0.58 -0.59
0.5 -0.65 -0.67
0.7 -0.74 -0.77
0.9 -0.89 -0.91
To understand how the crossover scale depends on the
correlation exponent αof the noise we employ the super-
position rule [Eq.(8)] and estimate n×as the intercept
between Fη(n) and FL(n). From the Eqs. (6) and (7), we
obtain the following dependence of n×onα:n×=/parenleftbigg
ALk0
b0/parenrightbigg1/(α−αL)

ALk0

(9)
This analytical calculation for the crossover exponent
−1/(αL−α) is in a good agreement with the observed
values of θobtained from our simulations [see Fig.3 and
Table I].
Finally, since the FL(n) does not depend on Nmaxas
we show in Eq.(7) and in Appendix C, we find that n×
does not depend on Nmax. This is a special case for
linear trends and does not always hold for higher order
polynomial trends [see Appendix D].
B. DFA-2 on noise with a linear trend
Application of the DFA-2 method to noisy signals with-
out any polynomial trends leads to scaling results identi-
cal to the scaling obtained from the DFA-1 method, with
the exception of some vertical shift to lower values for the
rms fluctuation function Fη(n) [see Appendix A]. How-
ever, for signals which are a superposition of correlated
noise and a linear trend, in contrast to the DFA-1 results
presented in Fig. 1, FηL(n) obtained from DFA exhibits
no crossovers, and is exactly equal to the rms fluctuation
function Fη(n) obtained from DFA-2 for correlated noise
without trend (see Fig. 4). These results indicate that
a linear trend has no effect on the scaling obtained from
DFA-2. The reason for this is that by design the DFA-2
method filters out linear trends, i.e. YL(i) = 0 (Eq.( 3))
and thus FηL(n) =Fη(n) due to the superposition rule
(Eq. (8)). For the same reason, polynomial trends of or-
der lower than ℓsuperimposed on correlated noise will
have no effect on the scaling properties of the noise when
DFA-ℓis applied. Therefore, our results confirm that the
DFA method is a reliable tool to accurately quantify cor-
relations in noisy signals embedded in polynomial trends.
Moreover, the reported scaling and crossover features of
F(n) can be used to determine the order of polynomial
trends present in the data.

grated linear trend can be perfectly filtered out in DFA-2,
thusYL(i) = 0 from Eq.(3). We note, that to estimate accu-
rately the correlation exponents one has to choose an optima l
range of scales n, where F(n) is fitted. For details see Ap-
pendix A

IV. NOISE WITH SINUSOIDAL TREND
In this section, we study the effect of sinusoidal trends
on the scaling properties of noisy signals. For a signal
which is a superposition of correlated noise and sinu-
soidal trend, we find that based on the superposition rule
(Appendix B) the DFA rms fluctuation function can be
expressed as
[FηS(n)]2= [Fη(n)]2+ [FS(n)]2, (10)
where FηS(n) is the rms fluctuation function of noise with
a sinusoidal trend, and FS(n) is for the sinusoidal trend.
First we consider the application of DFA-1 to a sinu-
soidal trend. Next we study the scaling behavior and the
features of crossovers in FηS(n) for the superposition of
correlated noise and sinusoidal trend employing the su-
perposition rule [Eq.(10)]. At the end of this section, we
discuss the results obtained from higher order DFA.A. DFA-1 on sinusoidal trend

FIG. 5. Root mean square fluctuation function FS(n) for
sinusoidal functions of length Nmax= 217with different am-
plitude ASand period T. All curves exhibit a crossover at
n2×≈T/2, with a slope αS= 2 for n < n 2×, and a flat
region for n > n 2×. There are some spurious singularities at
n=jT
2(jis a positive integer) shown by the spikes.
Given a sinusoidal trend u(i) =ASsin (2πi/T) (i=
1, ..., N max), where ASis the amplitude of the signal and
Tis the period, we find that the rms fluctuation func-
tionFS(n) does not depend on the length of the signal
Nmax, and has the same shape for different amplitudes
and different periods [Fig. 5]. We find a crossover at scale
corresponding to the period of the sinusoidal trend
n2×≈T, (11)
and does not depend on the amplitude AS. We call this
crossover n2×for convenience, as we will see later. For
n < n 2×, the rms fluctuation FS(n) exhibits an ap-
parent scaling with the same exponent as FL(n) for the
linear trend [see Eq. (7)]:
FS(n) =k1AS
TnαS(12)
where k1is a constant independent of the length Nmax,
of the period Tand the amplitude ASof the sinusoidal
signal, and of the box size n. As for the linear trend
[Eq.(7)], we obtain αS= 2 because at small scales (box
sizen) the sinusoidal function is dominated by a linear
term. For n > n 2×, due to the periodic property of the
sinusoidal trend, FS(n) is a constant independent of the
scalen:
FS(n) =1
2√
2πAS·T. (13)
The period Tand the amplitude ASalso affects the ver-
tical shift of FS(n) in both regions. We note that in
5Eqs.(12) and (13), FS(n) is proportional to the ampli-
tudeAS, a behavior which is also observed for the linear
trend [Eq. (7)].
B. DFA-1 on noise with sinusoidal trend
In this section, we study how the sinusoidal trend af-
fects the scaling behavior of noise with different type of
correlations. We apply the DFA-1 method to a signal
which is a superposition of correlated noise with a sinu-
soidal trend. We observe that there are typically three
crossovers in the rms fluctuation FηS(n) at characteristic
scales denoted by n1×,n2×andn3×[Fig. 6]. These three
crossovers divide FηS(n) into four regions, as shown in
Fig. 6(a) (the third crossover cannot be seen in Fig. 6(b)
because its scale n3×is greater than the length of the sig-
nal). We find that the first and third crossovers at scales
n1×andn3×respectively [see Fig. 6] result from the com-
petition between the effects on FηS(n) of the sinusoidal
signal and the correlated noise. For n < n 1×(region I)
andn > n 3×(region IV), we find that the noise has the
dominating effect ( Fη(n)> FS(n)), so the behavior of
FηS(n) is very close to the behavior of Fη(n) [Eq. (10)].
Forn1×< n < n 2×(region II) and n2×< n < n 3×(re-
gion III) the sinusoidal trend dominates ( FS(n)> Fη(n)),
thus the behavior of FηS(n) is close to FS(n) [see Fig. 6
and Fig. 7].

can not be seen in (b) because it occurs at scale larger than

dominates and FηS(n)≈Fη(n) while for n1×< n < n 3×,
the sinusoidal trend dominates and FηS(n)≈FS(n). The
crossovers at n1×andn3×are due to the competition between
the correlated noise and the sinusoidal trend [see Fig. 7], w hile
the crossover at n2×relates only to the period Tof the sinu-
soidal [Eq. (11)].

FIG. 7. Comparison of the detrended fluctuation function
for noise, Yη(i) and noise with sinusoidal trend, YηS(i) in four
regions as shown in Fig. 6. The same signals as in Fig. 6 are
used. Panels (a)-(f) correspond to Fig. 6(b) for anti-corre lated
noise with exponent α= 0.1, and panels (g)-(h) correspond
to the Fig. 6(a) for correlated noise with exponent α= 0.9.
(a)-(b) For all scales n < n 1×, the effect of the trend is not
pronounced and YηS(i)≈Yη(i) leading to FηS(n)≈Fη(n)
(Fig. 6(a)). (c)(d) For n2×> n > n 1×, the trend is domi-
nant, YηS(i)≫Yη(i) and FηS(n)≈FS(n). Since n2×≈T/2
(Eq. (11)), the scale n < T/ 2 and the sinusoidal behavior
can be approximated as a linear trend. This explains the
quadratic background in YηS(i) (d) [see Fig. 2(c)(d)]. (e)(f)
Forn2×< n < n 3×(i.e. n≫T/2), the sinusoidal trend
again dominates — YηS(i) is periodic function with period T.
(g)(h) for n > n 3×, the effect of the noise is dominant and
the scaling of FηSfollows the scaling of Fη(Fig. 6(a)).
To better understand why there are different regions in
the behavior of FηS(n), we consider the detrended fluc-
tuation function [Eq. (3) and Appendix B] of the corre-
lated noise Yη(i), and of the noise with sinusoidal trend
YηS. In Fig. 7 we compare Yη(i) and YηS(i) for anti-
correlated and correlated noise in the four different re-
gions. For very small scales n < n 1×, the effect of the
sinusoidal trend is not pronounced, YηS(i)≈Yη(i), indi-
cating that in this scale region the signal can be consid-
ered as noise fluctuating around a constant trend which is
filtered out by the DFA-1 procedure [Fig. 7(a)(b)]. Note,
that the behavior of YηS[Fig. 7(b)] is identical to the be-
havior of YηL[Fig. 2(b)], since both a sinusoidal with
a large period Tand a linear trend with small slope
ALcan be well approximated by a constant trend for
n < n 1×. For small scales n1×< n < n 2×(region II), we
find that there is a dominant quadratic background for
YηS(i) [Fig. 7(d)]. This quadratic background is due to
the integration procedure in DFA-1, and is represented
by the detrended fluctuation function of the sinusoidal
trend YS(i). It is similar to the quadratic background
observed for linear trend YηL(i) [Fig. 2(d)] — i.e. for
n1×< n < n 2×the sinusoidal trend behaves as a linear
trend and YS(i)≈YL(i). Thus in region II the “lin-
ear trend” effect of the sinusoidal is dominant, YS> Yη,
which leads to FηS(n)≈FS(n). This explains also why
FηS(n) for n < n 2×(Fig. 6) exhibits crossover behav-
ior similar to the one of FηL(n) observed for noise with
a linear trend. For n2×< n < n 3×(region III) the
sinusoidal behavior is strongly pronounced [Fig. 7(f)],
YS(i)≫Yη(i), and YηS(i)≈YS(i) changes periodically
with period equal to the period of the sinusoidal trend
T. Since YηS(i) is bounded between a minimum and amaximum value, FηS(n) cannot increase and exhibits a
flat region (Fig. 6). At very large scales, n > n 3×, the
noise effect is again dominant ( YS(i) remains bounded,
while Yηgrows when increasing the scale) which leads to
FηS(n)≈Fη(n), and a scaling behavior corresponding to
the scaling of the correlated noise.

FIG. 8. Dependence of the three crossovers in FηS(n) for
noise with a sinusoidal trend (Fig. 6) on the period T, and
amplitude ASof the sinusoidal trend. (a) Power-law rela-
tion between the first crossover scale n1×and the period T
for fixed amplitude ASand varying correlation exponent α:
n1×∼TθT1, where θT1is a positive crossover exponent [see
Table II and Eq. 14]. (b) Power-law relation between the
first crossover n1×and the amplitude of the sinusoidal trend

Swhere θA1is a negative crossover exponent [Ta-

pends only on the period T:n2×∼TθT2, where θT2≈1.
(d) Power-law relation between the third crossover n3×and
Tfor fixed amplitude ASand varying αtrend: n3×∼TθT3.
(e) Power-law relation between the third crossover n3×and
ASfor fixed Tand varying α:n3×∼(AS)θA3. We find that
θA3=θT3[Table III and Eq. (15)].
First, we consider n1×. Surprisingly, we find that for
noise with any given correlation exponent αthe crossover
scale n1×exhibits long-range power-law dependence of
the period T—n1×∼TθT1, and the amplitude AS—
n1×∼(AS)θA1of the sinusoidal trend [see Fig. 8(a) and
(b)]. We find that the ”crossover exponents” θT1and
θA1have the same magnitude but different sign — θT1is
positive while θA1is negative. We also find that the mag-
nitude of θT1andθA1increases for the larger values ofthe correlation exponents αof the noise. We present the
values of θT1andθA1for different correlation exponent
αin Table II. To understand these power-law relations
between n1×andT, and between n1×andAS, and also
how the crossover scale n1×depends on the correlation
exponent αwe employ the superposition rule [Eq. 10]
and estimate n1×analytically as the first intercept nth
1×
ofFη(n) and FS(n). From Eqs. (12) and (6), we obtain
the following dependence of n1×onT,ASandα:
n1×=/parenleftbiggb0
k1T
AS/parenrightbigg1/(2−α)
(14)
From this analytical calculation we obtain the fol-
lowing relation between the two crossover expo-
nents θT1andθA1and the correlation exponent α:
θT1=−θA1= 1/(2−α), which is in a good agree-
ment with the observed values of θT1,θA1obtained from
simulations [see Fig. 8(a) (b) and Table II].
Next, we consider n2×. Our analysis of the rms fluc-
tuation function FS(n) for the sinusoidal signal in Fig. 5
suggests that the crossover scale FS(n) does not depend
on the amplitude ASof the sinusoidal. The behavior of
the rms fluctuation function FηS(n) for noise with super-
imposed sinusoidal trend in Fig. 6(a) and (b) indicates
thatn2×does not depend on the correlation exponent
αof the noise, since for both correlated ( α= 0.9) and
anti-correlated ( α= 0) noise ( TandASare fixed), the
crossover scale n2×remains unchanged. We find that n2×
depends onlyon the period Tof the sinusoidal trend and
exhibits a long-range power-law behavior n2×∼TθT2
with a crossover exponent θT2≈1 (Fig. 8(c)) which is in
agreement with the prediction of Eq.(11).
For the third crossover scale n3×, as for n1×we find
a power-law dependence on the period T,n3×∼TθT3,
and amplitude AS,n3×∼(AS)θA3,of the sinusoidal trend
[see Fig. 8(d) and (e)]. However, in contrast to the n1×
case, we find that the crossover exponents θTp3andθA3
are equal and positive with decreasing values for increas-
ing correlation exponents α. In Table III, we present the
values of these two exponents for different correlation ex-
ponent α. To understand how the scale n3×depends on
T,ASand the correlation exponent αsimultaneously,
we again employ the superposition rule [Eq. (10)] and
estimate n3×as the second intercept nth
3×ofFη(n) and
FS(n). From Eqs. (13) and (6), we obtain the following
dependence:
n3×=/parenleftbigg1
2√
2πb0AST/parenrightbigg1/α
. (15)
From this analytical calculation we obtain θT3=θA3=
1/αwhich is in good agreement with the values of θT3
andθA3observed from simulations [Table III].

Finally, our simulations show that all three crossover
scales n1×,n2×andn3×do not depend on the length of
the signal Nmax, since Fη(n) and FS(n) do not depend
onNmaxas shown in Eqs. (6), (10), (12), and (13).
C. Higher order DFA on pure sinusoidal trend
In the previous Sec. IVB, we discussed how sinusoidal
trends affect the scaling behavior of correlated noise when
the DFA-1 method is applied. Since DFA-1 removes only
constant trends in data, it is natural to ask how the ob-
served scaling results will change when we apply DFA of
order ℓdesigned to remove polynomial trends of order
lower than ℓ. In this section, we first consider the rms
fluctuation FSfor a sinusoidal signal and then we study
the scaling and crossover properties of FηSfor correlated
noise with superimposed sinusoidal signal when higher
order DFA is used.
We find that the rms fluctuation function FSdoes not
depend on the length of the signal Nmax, and preserves
a similar shape when different order- ℓDFA method is
used [Fig. 9]. In particular, FSexhibits a crossover at ascalen2×proportional to the period Tof the sinusoidal:
n2×∼TθT2withθT2≈1. The crossover scale shifts
to larger values for higher order ℓ[Fig. 5 and Fig. 9].
For the scale n < n 2×,FSexhibits an apparent scaling:
FS∼nαSwith an effective exponent αS=ℓ+ 1 . For
DFA-1, we have ℓ= 1 and recover αS= 2 as shown in
Eq. (12). For n > n 2×,FS(n) is a constant independent
of the scale n, and of the order ℓof the DFA method in
agreement with Eq. (13).
Next, we consider FηS(n) when DFA- ℓwith a higher
order ℓis used. We find that for all orders ℓ,FηS(n)
does not depend on the length of the signal Nmaxand
exhibits three crossovers — at small, intermediate and
large scales — similar behavior is reported for DFA-1 in
Fig. 6. Since the crossover at small scales, n1×, and the
crossover at large scale, n3×, result from the “competi-
tion” between the scaling of the correlated noise and the
effect of the sinusoidal trend (Figs. 6 and 7), using the
superposition rule [Eq. (10)] we can estimate n1×and
n3×as the intercepts of Fη(n) and FS(n) for the general
case of DFA- ℓ.
Forn1×we find the following dependence on the pe-
riodT, amplitude AS, the correlation exponent αof the
noise, and the order ℓof the DFA- ℓmethod:
n1×∼(T/AS)1/(ℓ+1−α)(16)
For DFA-1, we have ℓ= 1 and we recover Eq. (14). In
addition, n1×is shifted to larger scales when higher order
DFA-ℓis applied, due to the fact that the value of FS(n)
decreases when ℓincreases ( αS=ℓ+ 1, see Fig. 9).
For the third crossover observed in FηS(n) at large scale
n3×we find for all orders ℓof the DFA- ℓthe following
scaling relation:
n3×∼(TAS)1/α. (17)
Since the scaling function Fη(n) for correlated noise shifts
vertically to lower values when higher order DFA- ℓis used
[see the discussion in Appendix A and Sec. VB], n3×ex-
hibits a slight shift to larger scales.
For the crossover n2×inFηS(n) atFηS(n) at inter-
mediate scales, we find: n2×∼T. This relation is
independent of the order ℓof the DFA and is identical to
the relation found for FS(n) [Eq. (11)]. n2×also exhibits
a shift to larger scales when higher order DFA is used
[see Fig. 9].
The reported here features of the crossovers in FηS(n)
can be used to identify low-frequency sinusoidal trends in
noisy data, and to recognize their effects on the scaling
properties of the data. This information may be useful
when quantifying correlation properties in data by means
of scaling analysis.

and power-law trend with amplitude AP= 0.01/(Nmax)−0.7
and negative power λ=−0.7. Note, that although in both
cases there is a “similar” crossover behavior for FηP(n), the
results in (a) and (b) represent completely opposite situa-
tions: while in (a) the power-law trend with positive power
λdominates the scaling of FηP(n) at large scales, in (b) the
power-law trend with negative power λdominates the scaling
at small scales, with arrow we indicate in (b) a weak crossove r
inFP(n) (dashed lines) at small scales for negative power λ.
In this section we study the effect of power-law trends
on the scaling properties of noisy signals. We consider
the case of correlated noise with superposed power-law
trend u(i) =APiλ, when APis a positive constant,
i= 1, ..., N max, and Nmaxis the length of the signal.
We find that when the DFA-1 method is used, the rms
fluctuation function FηP(n) exhibits a crossover between
two scaling regions [Fig. 10]. This behavior results from
the fact that at different scales n, either the correlated
noise or the power-law trend is dominant, and can be
predicted by employing the superposition rule:
[FηP(n)]2= [Fη(n)]2+ [FP(n)]2, (18)
where Fη(n) and FP(n) are the rms fluctuation function
of noise and the power-law trend respectively, and FηP(n)
is the rms fluctuation function for the superposition of
the noise and the power-law trend. Since the behavior of
Fη(n) is known (Eq. (6) and Appendix A), we can un-
derstand the features of FηP(n), if we know how FP(n)
depends on the characteristics of the power-law trend.
We note that the scaling behavior of FηP(n) displayed
in Fig. 10(a) is to some extent similar to the behavior of
10the rms fluctuation function FηL(n) for correlated noise
with a linear trend [Fig. 1] — e.g. the noise is dominant
at small scales n, while the trend is dominant at large
scales. However, the behavior FP(n) is more complex
than that of FL(n) for the linear trend, since the effec-
tive exponent αλforFP(n) can depend on the power λ
of the power-law trend. In particular, for negative val-
ues of λ,FP(n) can become dominated at small scales
(Fig. 10(b)) while Fη(n) dominates at large scales — a
situation completely opposite of noise with linear trend
(Fig. 1) or with power-law trend with positive values for
the power λ. Moreover, FP(n) can exhibit crossover be-
havior at small scales [Fig. 10(b)] for negative λwhich
is not observed for positive λ. In addition FP(n) de-
pends on the order ℓof the DFA method and the length
Nmaxof the signal. We discuss the scaling features of
the power-law trends in the following three subsections.
A. Dependence of FP(n)on the power λ
First we study how the rms fluctuation function FP(n)
for a power-law trend u(i) =APiλdepends on the power
λ. We find that
FP(n)∼APnαλ, (19)
where αλis the effective exponent for the power-law
trend. For positive λwe observe no crossovers in FP(n)
(Fig. 10(a)). However, for negative λthere is a crossover
inFP(n) at small scales n(Fig. 10(b)), and we find that
this crossover becomes even more pronounced with de-
creasing λor increasing the order ℓof the DFA method,
and is also shifted to larger scales [Fig. 11(a)].

FIG. 11. Scaling behavior of rms fluctuation function
FP(n) for power-law trends, u(i)∼iλ, where i= 1, ..., N max
andNmax= 217is the length of the signal. (a) For λ <0,
FP(n) exhibits crossover at small scales which is more pro-
nounced with increasing the order ℓof DFA- ℓand decreasing
the value of λ. Such crossover is not observed for λ >0 when
FP(n)∼nαλfor all scales n[see Fig. 10(a)]. (b) Dependence
of the effective exponent αλon the power λfor different order
ℓ= 1,2,3 of the DFA method. Three regions are observed
depending on the order ℓof the DFA: region I ( λ > ℓ−0.5),
where αλ≈ℓ+ 1; region II ( −1.5< λ < ℓ −0.5), where
αλ=λ+ 1.5; region III ( λ <−1.5), where αλ≈0. We note
that for integer values of the power λ= 0,1, ..., ℓ−1, where ℓ
is the order of DFA we used, there is no scaling for FP(n) and
αλis not defined, as indicated by the arrows. (c) Asymptotic
behavior near integer values of λ.FP(n) is plotted for λ→1
when DFA-2 is used. Even for λ−1 = 10−6, we observe at
large scales na region with an effective exponent αλ≈2.5,
This region is shifted to infinitely large scales when λ= 1.
Next, we study how the effective exponent αλforFP(n)
depends on the value of the power λfor the power-law
trend. We examine the scaling of FP(n) and estimate
11αλfor−4< λ < 4. In the cases when FP(n) exhibits a
crossover, in order to obtain αλwe fit the range of larger
scales to the right of the crossover. We find that for any
order ℓof the DFA- ℓmethod there are three regions with
different relations between αλandλ[Fig. 11(b)]:
(i)αλ≈ℓ+ 1 for λ > ℓ−0.5 (region I);
(ii)αλ≈λ+ 1.5 for−1.5≤λ≤ℓ−0.5 (region II);
(iii)αλ≈0 forλ <−1.5 (region III).
Note, that for integer values of the power λ(λ=
0,1, ..., m −1), i.e. polynomial trends of order m−1,
the DFA- ℓmethod of order ℓ > m −1 (ℓis also an in-
teger) leads to FP(n)≈0, since DFA- ℓis designed to
remove polynomial trends. Thus for a integer values of
the power λthere is no scaling and the effective exponent
αλis not defined if a DFA- ℓmethod of order ℓ > λ is used
[Fig. 11]. However, it is of interest to examine the asymp-
totic behavior of the scaling of FP(n) when the value of
the power λis close to an integer. In particular , we
consider how the scaling of FP(n) obtained from DFA-2
method changes when λ→1 [Fig. 11(c)]. Surprisingly,
we find that even though the values of FP(n) are very
small at large scales, there is a scaling for FP(n) with a
smooth convergence of the effective exponent αλ→2.5
when λ→1, according to the dependence αλ≈λ+ 1.5
established for region II [Fig. 11(b)]. At smaller scales
there is a flat region which is due to the fact that the
fluctuation function Y(i) (Eq. (3)) is smaller than the
precision of the numerical simulation.
B. Dependence of FP(n)on the order ℓof DFA
Another factor that affects the rms fluctuation func-
tion of the power-law trend FP(n), is the order ℓof the
DFA method used. We first take into account that:
(1) for integer values of the power λ, the power-law
trend u(i) =APiλis a polynomial trend which
can be perfectly filtered out by the DFA method
of order ℓ > λ , and as discussed in Sec. III B and
Sec. VA [see Fig. 11(b) and (c)], there is no scaling
forFP(n). Therefore, in this section we consider
only non-integer values of λ.
(2) for a given value of the power λ, the effective ex-
ponent αλcan take different values depending on
the order ℓof the DFA method we use [see Fig. 11]
— e.g. for fixed λ > ℓ −0.5,αλ≈ℓ+ 1. There-
fore, in this section, we consider only the case when
λ < ℓ−0.5 (Region II and III).101102103104

correlation exponent α= 0.1 and a power-law u(i) =APiλ,
where AP= 25/(Nmax)0.4,Nmax= 217andλ= 0.4. Results
for different order ℓ= 1,2,3 of the DFA method show (i) a
clear crossover from a region at small scales where the noise
dominates FηP(n)≈Fη(n), to a region at larger scales where
the power-law trend dominates FηP(n)≈FP(n), and (ii) a
vertical shift ∆ in FηPwith increasing ℓ. (b) Dependence
of the vertical shift ∆ in the rms fluctuation function FP(n)
for power-law trend on the order ℓof DFA- ℓfor different val-
ues of λ: ∆∼ℓτ(λ). We define the vertical shift ∆ as the
y-intercept of FP(n): ∆≡FP(n= 1). Note, that we consider
only non-integer values for λand that we consider the region
λ < ℓ−0.5. Thus, for all values of λthe minimal order ℓ
that can be used in the DFA method is ℓ > λ + 0.5. e.g. for
λ= 1.6 the minimal order of the DFA that can be used is
ℓ= 3 (for details see Fig. 11(b)). (c) Dependence of τon the
power λ(error bars indicate the regression error for the fits of

Fη(n). Faster decay of τ(αλ) indicates larger vertical shifts
forFP(n) compared to Fη(n) with increasing order ℓof the
DFA-ℓ.
Since higher order DFA- ℓprovides a better fit for the
data, the fluctuation function Y(i) (Eq. (3)) decreases
with increasing order ℓ. This leads to a vertical shift
to smaller values of the rms fluctuation function F(n)
(Eq. (4)). Such a vertical shift is observed for the rms
fluctuation function Fη(n) for correlated noise (see Ap-
pendix A), as well as for the rms fluctuation function of
power-law trend FP(n). Here we ask how this vertical
shift in Fη(n) and FP(n) depends on the order ℓof the
DFA method, and if this shift has different properties
forFη(n) compared to FP(n). This information can help
identify power-law trends in noisy data, and can be used
to differentiate crossovers separating scaling regions wit h
different types of correlations, and crossovers which are
due to effects of power-law trends.We consider correlated noise with a superposed power-
law trend, where the crossover in FηP(n) at large scales n
results from the dominant effect of the power-law trend
—FηP(n)≈FP(n) (Eq. (18) and Fig. 10(a)). We choose
the power λ <0.5, a range where for all orders ℓof the
DFA method the effective exponent αλofFP(n) remains
the same — i.e. αλ=λ+1.5 (region II in Fig. 11(b)). For
a superposition of an anti-correlated noise and power-law
trend with λ= 0.4, we observe a crossover in the scaling
behavior of FηP(n), from a scaling region characterized
by the correlation exponent α= 0.1 of the noise, where
FηP(n)≈Fη(n), to a region characterized by an effective
exponent αλ= 1.9, where FηP(n)≈FP(n), for all orders
ℓ= 1,2,3 of the DFA- ℓmethod [Fig. 12(a)]. We also
find that the crossover of FηP(n) shifts to larger scales
when the order ℓof DFA- ℓincreases, and that there is
a vertical shift of FηP(n) to lower values. This vertical
shift in FηP(n) at large scales, where FηP(n) =FP(n),
appears to be different in magnitude when different or-
derℓof the DFA- ℓmethod is used [Fig. 12(a)]. We also
observe a less pronounced vertical shift at small scales
where FηP(n)≈Fη(n).
Next, we ask how these vertical shifts depend on the
order ℓof DFA- ℓ. We define the vertical shift ∆ as the
y-intercept of FP(n): ∆≡FP(n= 1). We find that the
vertical shift ∆ in FP(n) for power-law trend follows a
power law: ∆ ∼ℓτ(λ). We tested this relation for orders
up to ℓ= 10, and we find that it holds for different val-
ues of the power λof the power-law trend [Fig. 12(b)].
Using Eq. (19) we can write: FP(n)/FP(n= 1) = nαλ,
i.e.FP(n)∼FP(n= 1). Since FP(n= 1)≡∆∼ℓτ(λ)
[Fig. 12(b)], we find that:
FP(n)∼ℓτ(λ). (20)
We also find that the exponent τis negative and is a
decreasing function of the power λ[Fig. 12(c)]. Because
the effective exponent αλwhich characterizes FP(n) de-
pends on the power λ[see Fig. 11(b)], we can express the
exponent τas a function of αλas we show in Fig. 12(d).
This representation can help us compare the behavior of
the vertical shift ∆ in FP(n) with the shift in Fη(n). For
correlated noise with different correlation exponent α, we
observe a similar power-law relation between the vertical
shift in Fη(n) and the order ℓof DFA- ℓ: ∆∼ℓτ(α), where
τis also a negative exponent which decreases with α. In
Fig. 12(d) we compare τ(αλ) for FP(n) with τ(α) for
Fη(n), and find that for any αλ=α,τ(αλ)< τ(α). This
difference between the vertical shift for correlated noise
and for a power-law trend can be utilized to recognize
effects of power-law trends on the scaling properties of
data.
C. Dependence of FP(n)on the signal length Nmax
Here, we study how the rms fluctuation function FP(n)
depends on the length Nmaxof the power-law signal
13u(i) =APiλ(i= 1, ..., N max). We find that there is a
vertical shift in FP(n) with increasing Nmax[Fig. 13(a)].
We observe that when doubling the length Nmaxof the
signal the vertical shift in FP(n), which we define as
F2Nmax
P /FNmax
P, remains the same, independent of the
value of Nmax. This suggests a power-law dependence of
FP(n) on the length of the signal:
FP(n)∼(Nmax)γ, (21)
where γis an effective scaling exponent.
Next, we ask if the vertical shift depends on the power
λof the power-law trend. When doubling the length
Nmaxof the signal, we find that for λ < ℓ−0.5, where ℓ
is the order of the DFA method, the vertical shift is a con-
stant independent of λ[Fig. 13(b)]. Since the value of the
vertical shift when doubling the length Nmaxis 2γ(from
Eq. (21)), the results in Fig. 13(b) show that γis inde-
pendent of λwhen λ < ℓ−0.5, and that −log2γ≈ −0.15,
i.e. the effective exponent γ≈ −0.5.
Forλ > ℓ −0.5, when doubling the length Nmaxof
the signal, we find that the vertical shift 2γexhibits the
following dependence on λ:−log102γ= log102λ−ℓ, and
thus the effective exponent γdepends on λ—γ=λ−ℓ.
For positive integer values of λ(λ=ℓ), we find that
γ= 0, and there is no shift in FP(n), suggesting that
FP(n) does not depend on the length Nmaxof the signal,
when DFA of order ℓis used [Fig. 13]. Finally, we note
that depending on the effective exponent γ, i.e. on the
order ℓof the DFA method and the value of the power λ,
the vertical shift in the rms fluctuation function FP(n)
for power-law trend can be positive ( λ > ℓ ), negative
(λ < ℓ), or zero ( λ=ℓ).

the ratio N1max/N2max, suggesting that FP(n)∼(Nmax)γ.
(b) Dependence of the vertical shift on the power λ. For
λ < ℓ−0.5 (ℓis the order of DFA), we find a flat (constant)
region characterized with effective exponent γ=−0.5 and
negative vertical shift. For λ > ℓ−0.5, we find an exponential
dependence of the vertical shift on λ. In this region, γ=λ−ℓ,
and the vertical shift can be negative (if λ < ℓ) or positive (if
λ > ℓ). the slope of −log10/parenleftbig

while γremains independent of Nmax. For λ=ℓthere is
no vertical shift, as marked with ×. Arrows indicate integer
values of λ < ℓ, for which values the DFA- ℓmethod filters out
completely the power-law trend and FP= 0.
D. Combined effect on FP(n)ofλ,ℓandNmax
We have seen that, taking into account the effects of
the power λ(Eq. (19)), the order ℓof DFA- ℓ(Eq. (20))
and the effect of the length of the signal Nmax(Eq. (21)),
we reach the following expression for the rms fluctuation
function FP(n) for a power-law trend u(i) =APiλ:
FP(n)∼AP·nαλ·ℓτ(λ)·(Nmax)γ(λ), (22)
For correlated noise, the rms fluctuation function Fη(n)
depends on the box size n(Eq. (6)) and on the order ℓ
of DFA- ℓ(Sec. VB and Fig. 12(a), (d)), and does not
depend on the length of the signal Nmax. Thus we have
the following expression for Fη(n)
Fη(n)∼nαℓτ(α), (23)
To estimate the crossover scale n×observed in the
apparent scaling of FηP(n) for a correlated noise su-
perposed with a power-law trend [Fig. 10(a), (b) and
14Fig. 12(a)], we employ the superposition rule (Eq. (18)).
From Eq. (22) and Eq. (23), we obtain n×as the inter-
cept between FP(n) and Fη(n):
n×∼/bracketleftBig
Alτ(λ)−τ(α)(Nmax)γ/bracketrightBig1/(α−αλ)
. (24)
To test the validity of this result, we consider the case of
correlated noise with a linear trend. For the case of a lin-
ear trend ( λ= 1) when DFA-1 ( ℓ= 1) is applied, we have
αλ= 2 (see Appendix C and Sec. VA, Fig. 11(b)). Since
in this case λ=ℓ= 1> ℓ−0.5 we have γ=λ−ℓ= 0
(see Sec.VC Fig. 13(b)), and from Eq. (24) we recover
Eq. (9).
VI. CONCLUSION AND SUMMARY
In this paper we show that the DFA method performs
better than the standard R/S analysis to quantify the
scaling behavior of noisy signals for a wide range of cor-
relations, and we estimate the range of scales where the
performance of the DFA method is optimal. We consider
different types of trends superposed on correlated noise,
and study how these trends affect the scaling behavior of
the noise. We demonstrate that there is a competition be-
tween a trend and a noise, and that this competition can
lead to crossovers in the scaling. We investigate the fea-
tures of these crossovers, their dependence on the proper-
ties of the noise and the superposed trend. Surprisingly,
we find that crossovers which are a result of trends can
exhibit power-law dependences on the parameters of the
trends. We show that these crossover phenomena can be
explained by the superposition of the separate results of
the DFA method on the noise and on the trend, assum-
ing that the noise and the trend are not correlated, and
that the scaling properties of the noise and the appar-
ent scaling behavior of the trend are known. Our work
may provide some help to differentiate between differ-
ent types of crossovers — e.g. crossovers which separate
scaling regions with different correlation properties may
differ from crossovers which are an artifact of trends. The
results we present here could be useful for identifying the
presence of trends and to accurately interpret correlation
properties of noisy data.

The standard signals we generate in our study are un-
correlated, correlated, and anti-correlated noise. First
we must have a clear idea of the scaling behaviors of
these standard signals before we use them to study the
effects from other aspects. We generate noises by using a
modified Fourier filtering method [63]. This method can
efficiently generate noise, u(i) (i= 1,2,3, ..., N max), with
the desired power-law correlation function which asymp-
totically behaves as: <|i+t/summationtext
j=iu(j)|2>∼t2α. By default, a
generated noise has standard deviation σ= 1. Then we
can test DFA and R/S by applying it on generated noises
since we know the expected scaling exponent α.

gions as shown and get α1,α2andα3for estimated α, which
are listed in the Table.IV and Table.V. We find that the
estimation of αis different in the different region.
Before doing that, we want to briefly review the algo-
rithm of R/S analysis. For a signal u(i)(i= 1, ..., N max),
it is divided into boxes of equal size n. In each box,
thecumulative departure ,Xi(fork-th box, i=kn+
1, ..., kn +n), is calculated

j=1(u(j)−< u > )2is the standard de-
viation in each box. The average of rescaled range in
all the boxes of equal size n, is obtained and denoted by
< R/S > . Repeat the above computation over different
box size nto provide a relationship between < R/S >
andn. According to Hurst’s experimental study [64], a
power-law relation between < R/S > and the box size n
indicates the presence of scaling: < R/S > ∼nα.
Figure 14 shows the results of R/S, DFA-1 and DFA-
2 on the same generated noises. Loosely speaking, we
can see that F(n) (for DFA) and R/S(for R/S analysis)
show power-law relation with nas expected: F(n)∼nαandR/S∼nα. In addition, there is no significant dif-
ference between the results of different order DFA except
for some vertical shift of the curves and the little bend-
down for small box size n. The bent-down for very small
box of F(n) from higher order DFA is because there are
more variables to fit those few points.

Ideally, when analyzing a standard noise, F(n) (DFA)
andR/S(R/Sanalysis) will be a power-law function
with a given power: α, no matter which region of F(n)
andR/Sis chosen for calculation. However, a careful
study shows that the scaling exponent αdepends on scale
n. The estimated αis different for the different regions
ofF(n) and R/Sas illustrated by Figs. 14(a) and 14(b)
and by Tables IV and V. It is very important to know the
best fitting region of DFA and R/S analysis in the study
of real signals. Otherwise, the wrong αwill be obtained
if an inappropriate region is selected.
In order to find the best region, we first determine the
dependence of the locally estimated α,αloc, on the scale
n. First, generate a standard noise with given scaling
exponent α; then calculate F(n) (or R/S), and obtain
αloc(n) by local fitting of F(n) (orR/S). Same random
simulation is repeated 50 times for both DFA and R/S
analysis. The resultant average αloc(n), respectively, are
illustrated in Fig.15 for DFA-1 and R/S analysis.
If a scaling analysis method is working properly, then
the result αloc(n) from simulation with αwould be a
16horizontal line with slight fluctuation centered about
αloc(n) =α. Note from Fig.15 that such a horizontal
behavior does not hold for all the scales nbut for a cer-
tain range from nmintonmax. In addition, at small scale,
R/S analysis gives αloc> αifα <0.7 and αloc< αif
α >0.7, which has been pointed out by Mandelbrot [65]
while DFA gives αloc> αifα <1.0 and αloc< αif
α >1.0.
It is clear that the smaller the nminand the larger the
nmax, the better the method. We also perceive that the
expected horizontal behavior stops because the fluctua-
tions become larger due to the under-sampling of F(n)
orR/Swhen ngets closer to the length of the signal
Nmax. Furthermore, it can be seen from Fig.15 that
nmax≈1
10Nmaxindependent of α(if the best fit region
exists), which is why one tenth of the signal length is the
maximum box size when using DFA or R/S analysis.

αloccome from the average of 50 simulations. If a technique
is working, then the data for scaling exponent αshould be a
weakly fluctuating horizontal line centered about αloc=α.
Note that such a horizontal behavior does not hold for all the
scales. Generally, such a expected behavior begins from som e
scalenmin, holds for a range and ends at a larger scale nmax.
For DFA-1, nminis quite small α >0.5. For R/S analysis,

FIG. 16. The starting point of good fit region, nmin, for
DFA-1 and R/S analysis. The results are obtained from 50
simulations, in which the length of noise is Nmax= 220. The
condition for a good fit is ∆ α=|αloc−α|<0.01. The data
forα >1.0 shown in the shading area are obtained by apply-
ing analysis on the integrations of noises with α <1.0. It is
clear that DFA-1 works better than R/S analysis because its
nminis always smaller than that of R/S analysis.
On the contrary, nmindoes not depend on the Nmax
since αloc(n) at small nhardly changes as Nmaxvaries
but it does depend on α. Thus, we obtain nminquan-
titatively as shown in Fig.16. For R/S analysis, only
forα≈0.7,nminis small; for αa little away from 0 .7
(for example, 0.5), nminbecomes very large and close to
nmax, indicating that the best fit region will vanish and
R/S analysis does not work at all. Comparing to R/S,
DFA works better since nminis quite small for α >0.5
correlated signals.
One problem remains for DFA, nminfor small α(≤0.5)
is still too large comparing to those for large α(>0.5).
We can improve it by applying DFA on the integration
of the noise with α <0.5. The resultant new expected
α′for the integrated signal would be α′
0=α+ 1, while
thenminfor the integrated signal becomes much smaller
as shown also in Fig.16(shading area α >1). Therefore,
for a noise with α <0.5, it is best to estimate the scaling
exponent α′of the integrated signal first and then obtain
αbyα=α′−1. This is what we did in the following
sections to those anti-correlated signals.

APPENDIX C: DFA-1 ON LINEAR TREND
Let us suppose a linear time series u(i) =ALi. The
integrated signal yL(i) is
yL(i) =i/summationdisplay
j=1ALj=ALi2+i
2(C1)
Let as call Nmaxthe size of the series and nthe size of
the box. The rms fluctuation FL(n) as a function of n
andNmaxis

where akandbkare the parameters of a least-squares
fit of the k-th box of size n.akandbkcan be determined
analytically, thus giving:

bk= 1−1

With these values, FL(n) can be evaluated analytically:
FL(n) =AL1
60/radicalbig
(5n4+ 25n3+ 25n2−25n−30) (C5)
The dominating term inside the square root is 5 n4and
then one obtains
FL(n)≈√

60ALn2(C6)
leading directly to an exponent of 2 in the DFA. An im-
portant consequence is that, as F(n) does not depend onNmax, for linear trends with the same slope, the DFA
must give exactly the same results for series of different
sizes. This is not true for other trends, where the expo-
nent is 2, but the factor multiplying n2can depend on
Nmax.
APPENDIX D: DFA-1 ON QUADRATIC TREND
Let us suppose now a series of the type u(i) =AQi2.
The integrated time series y(i) is
y(i) =AQi/summationdisplay
j=1j2=AQ2i3+ 3i2+i
6(D1)
As before, let us call Nmaxandnthe sizes of the se-
ries and box, respectively. The rms fluctuation function
FQ(n) measuring the rms fluctuation is now defined as
FQ(n) =AQ/radicaltp/radicalvertex/radicalvertex/radicalvertex/radicalbt1

where akandbkare the parameters of a least-squares fit of the k-th box of size n. As before, akandbkcan be
determined analytically, thus giving:
ak=1

15n3k+17

Once akandbkare known, F(n) can be evaluated, giving:
FQ(n) =AQ1
1260/radicalbig
−21 (n4+ 5n3+ 5n2−5n−6)(32n2−6n−81−210Nmax−140N2max) (D5)
AsNmax> n, the dominant term inside the square
root is given by 140 N2
max×21n4=AQ2940n4N2
max, and
then one has approximately
FQ(n)≈AQ1
1260/radicalbig
2940n4N2max=AQ1
90√
15Nmaxn2
(D6)
leading directly to an exponent 2 in the DFA analysis.
An interesting consequence derived from Eq. (D6) is
that, FQ(n) depends on the length of signal Nmax, and
the DFA line (log FQ(n) versus log n) for quadratic seriesu(i) =AQi2of different NmaxDO NOT overlap (as it
happened for linear trends).

(December 31, 2012)
In this paper, we deal with fluid motion in terms of quan-
tum mechanics. Mechanism accounting for the appearance of
quantum behavior is discussed.
Consider a ideal fluid which is composed of discrete
identical particles, its mass and charge are mandqre-
spectively, it is convenient to consider the fluid to be a
flow characterized by a 4-velocity field u(x1,x2,x3,x4=
ict) in a Cartesian coordinate system (in a laboratory
frame of reference). The particle will be affected by the
4-force due to in electromagnetic interaction. According
to relativistic Newton’s second law, the motion of the
particle satisfies the following governing equations
mduµ
dτ=qFµνuν (1)
uµuµ=−c2(2)
whereFµνis the 4-curl of electromagnetic vector poten-
tialA. Since the reference frame is a Cartesian coordi-
nate system whose axes are orthogonal to one another,
there is no distinction between covariant and contravari-
ant components, only subscripts need be used. Here and
below, summation over twice repeated indices is implied
in all case, Greek indices will take on the values 1,2,3,4,
and regarding the mass mas a constant. Eq.(1) and (2)
stand at every point for every particle. As is mentioned
above, the 4-velocity ucan be regarded as a 4-velocity
vector field, then
duµ
dτ=∂uµ
∂xν∂xν
∂τ=uν∂νuµ (3)
qFµνuν=quν(∂µAν−∂νAµ) (4)
Substituting them back into Eq.(1), and re-arranging
their terms, we obtain
uν∂ν(muµ+qAµ) =uν∂µ(qAν)
=uν∂µ(muν+qAν)−uν∂µ(muν)
=uν∂µ(muν+qAν)−1
2∂µ(muνuν)
=uν∂µ(muν+qAν)−1
2∂µ(−mc2)
=uν∂µ(muν+qAν) (5)
Using the notation
Kµν=∂µ(muν+qAν)−∂ν(muµ+qAµ) (6)Eq.(5) is given by
uνKµν= 0 (7)
BecauseKµνcontains the variables ∂µuν,∂µAν,∂νuµ
and∂νAµwhich are independent from uν, then a solution
satisfying Eq.(7) is of
Kµν= 0 (8)
∂µ(muν+qAν) =∂ν(muµ+qAµ) (9)
The above equation allows us introduce a potential func-
tion Φ in mathematics, further set Φ = −i¯hlnψ, we ob-
tain a very important equation
(muµ+qAµ)ψ=−i¯h∂µψ (10)
We think it as an extended form of the relativistic New-
ton’s second law in terms of 4-velocity field. ψrepre-
senting the wave nature may be a complex mathematical
function, its physical meanings will be determined from
experiments after the introduction of the Planck’s con-
stant ¯h.
Multiplying the two sides of the following familiar
equation by ψ
−m2c4=m2uµuµ (11)
which stands at every points in the 4-velocity field, and
using Eq.(10), we obtain
−m2c4ψ=muµ(−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)ψ
= (−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)(muµψ)−[−i¯hψ∂ µ(muµ)]
= (−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)2ψ−[−i¯hψ∂ µ(muµ)] (12)
According to the continuity condition for the fluid
∂µ(muµ) = 0 (13)
we have
−m2c4ψ= (−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)2ψ (14)
Its form is known as the Klein-Gordon equation.
On the condition of non-relativity, the Schrodinger
equation form can be derived from the Klein-Gordon
equation [2](P.469).
However, we must admit that we are careless when
we use the continuity condition Eq.(13), because, from
Eq.(10) we obtain
1∂µ(muµ) =∂µ(−i¯h∂µlnψ−qAµ) =−i¯h∂µ∂µlnψ(15)
where we have used the Lorentz gauge condition. Thus
from Eq.(11) to Eq.(12) we obtain
−m2c4ψ= (−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)2ψ+ ¯h2ψ∂µ∂µlnψ(16)
This is of a perfect wave equation for describing accu-
rately the motion of the flow. In other wards, The Klein-
Gordon equation form is ill for using the mistaken con-
tinuity condition Eq.(13). Comparing with the Dirac
equation result, we find that the last term of Eq.(16)
corresponds to the spin effect of flow (if it exists). In the
following we shall show the Dirac equation form from
Eq.(10) and Eq.(11).
In general, there are many wave functions which sat-
isfy Eq.(10) for the flow, these functions and correspond-
ing momentum components are denoted by ψ(j)and
Pµ(j) =muµ(j), respectively, where j= 1,2,3,...,N,
then Eq.(11) can be given by
0 =Pµ(j)Pµ(j)ψ2(j) +m2c4ψ2(j)
=δµνPµ(j)ψ(j)Pν(j)ψ(j) +mc2ψ(j)mc2ψ(j)
= (δµν+δνµ)Pµ(j)ψ(j)Pν(j)ψ(j)(µ≥ν)
+mc2ψ(j)mc2ψ(j)
= 2δµνPµ(j)ψ(j)Pν(j)ψ(j)(µ≥ν)
+mc2ψ(j)mc2ψ(j)
= 2δµνδjkδjlPµ(k)ψ(k)Pν(l)ψ(l)(µ≥ν)
+δjkδjlmc2ψ(k)mc2ψ(l) (17)
whereδis the Kronecker delta function, j,k,l =
1,2,3,...,N . Here, specially, we do not take jsum over;
Prepresents momentum, not operator. Suppose there
are two matrices aandbwhich satisfy
aµjkaνjl+aνjkaµjl= 2δµνδjkδjl (18)
aµjkbjl+bjkaµjl= 0 (19)
bjkbjl=δjkδjl (20)
then Eq.(17) can be rewritten as
0 = (aµjkaνjl+aνjkaµjl)Pµ(k)ψ(k)Pν(l)ψ(l)(µ≥ν)
+(aµjkbjl+bjkaµjl)Pµ(k)ψ(k)mc2ψ(l)
+bjkbjlmc2ψ(k)mc2ψ(l)
= [aµjkPµ(k)ψ(k) +bjkmc2ψ(k)]
·[aνjlPν(l)ψ(l) +bjlmc2ψ(l)]
= [aµjkPµ(k)ψ(k) +bjkmc2ψ(k)]2(21)
Consequently, we obtain a wave equation:
aµjkPµ(k)ψ(k) +bjkmc2ψ(k) = 0 (22)
There are many solutions for aandbwhich satisfy
Eq.(18-20), we select a familiar set of aandbas [2]:N= 4 (23)

whereαnare the Pauli spin matrices, n= 1,2,3. Sub-
stituting them into Eq.(22), we obtain
[(−i¯h∂4−qA4) +αn(−i¯h∂n−qAn) +βmc2]ψ= 0 (27)
whereψis an one-column matrix about ψ(k). The form
of Eq.(27) is known as the Dirac equation.
Of course, on the condition of non-relativity, the
Schrodinger equation form can be derived from the Dirac
equation [2](P.479).
It is noted that Eq.(27), Eq.(22), Eq.(17) and Eq.(16)
are equivalent despite they have the different forms, be-
cause they all originate from Eq.(10) and Eq.(11).
It follows from Eq.(10) that the path of a particle is
analogous to ”lines of electric force” in 4-dimensional
space-time. In the case that the Klein-Gordon equation
stands, i.e. Eq.(13) stands, at any point, the path can
have but one direction (i.e. the local 4-velocity direction ),
hence only one path can pass through each point of the
space-time. In other words, the path never intersects it-
self when it winds up itself into a cell about a nucleus.
No path originates or terminates in the space-time. But,
in general, the divergence of the 4-velocity field does not
equal to zero, as indicated in Eq.(15), so the Dirac equa-
tion would be better than the Klein-Gordon equation in
accuracy.
Based on the above derivation, we confirm that the
dynamic condition of appearance of quantum behavior in
fluid is that the Planck’s constant ¯ his not relatively small
in analogy with that for single particle, the condition
of the appearance of spin structure in the fluid is that
Eq.(15) is un-negligeable. The mechanism profoundly
accounts for the quantum wave natures such as spin effect
[4] [5].
The present work focus on the formalism and pursuing
the correction and strictness in mathematics, its interpre -
tation in physical terms remains to be discussed further
in the future.

This paper reexamines the physical roles of trapped and pass ing electrons in electron Bernstein-
Greene-Kruskal (BGK) solitary waves, also called the BGK ph ase space electron holes (EH). It is
shown that the charge density variation in the vicinity of th e solitary potential is a net balance of
the negative charge from trapped electrons and positive cha rge due to the decrease of the passing
electron density. A BGK EH consists of electron density enha ncements as well as a density depletion,
instead of only the density depletion as previously thought . The shielding of the positive core is
not a thermal screening by the ambient plasma, but achieved b y trapped electrons oscillating inside
the potential energy trough. The total charge of a BGK EH is th erefore zero. Two separated EHs
do not interact and the concept of negative mass is not needed . These features are independent
of the strength of the nonlinearity. BGK EHs do not require th ermal screening, and their size is
thus not restricted to be greater than the Debye length λD. Our analysis predicts that BGK EHs
smaller than λDcan exist. A width( δ)-amplitude( ψ) relation of an inequality form is obtained for
BGK EHs in general. For empty-centered EHs with potential am plitude ≫1, we show that the
width-amplitude relation of the form δ∝√ψis common to bell-shaped potentials. For ψ≪1, the
width approaches zero faster than√ψ.

In 1957, Bernstein, Greene and Kruskal [1] solved the
one-dimensional, time-independent Vlasov-Poisson equa-
tions and obtained the general solutions for electrostatic
nonlinear traveling waves, including solitary potential
pulses. Their derivation emphasized the special role
played by the particles trapped in the potential energy
troughs. They demonstrated mathematically that one
could construct waves of arbitrary shapes by assigning
the distribution of trapped particles suitable for the de-
sired wave form.
In 1967, Roberts and Berk [2] provided a quasi-particle
picture for the electron phase space holes (EH) based
on the results of a numerical experiment on two-stream
instability. They solved the time-dependent Vlasov-
Poisson equations using the “water-bag” model in which
the evolution of electron phase-space boundaries between
f= 0 andf= 1 was followed, where fis the electron
phase space density with values either 0 or 1. They in-
terpreted the elliptical empty ( f= 0) region associated
with a positive charge observed in the late stage of the
nonlinear development as a BGK EH. In order to ex-
plain the coalescence of neighboring EHs, a negative ef-
fective mass was assigned to each EH to compensate for
the Coulomb repulsion of two positive EHs. Thus, they
suggested a quasi-particle picture that BGK EHs have
positive charge and negative mass. This picture is in use
even today to interpret results in computer simulations
of EH disruptions due to ion motion [3], and to model
the mutual interaction of electrostatic solitary waves in
space plasma [4].
It was not until 1979 that BGK EHs were experimen-
tally realized by the Risø laboratory experiments [5,6].
By applying large amplitude potential pulses in a plasma-loaded wave guide, solitary potential pulses were excited,
including EHs and Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) solitons [7].
Investigations of the mutual interaction of EHs showed
that two EHs close to each other would coalesce if they
have almost equal velocity and they would pass through
each other if their relative velocity was large [5]. The
coalescence was interpreted in terms of the positive EH
picture derived earlier [5,6].
The analytical work that followed the Risø experi-
ments mainly focused on constructing solutions and ob-
taining the corresponding width-amplitude relations to
facilitate the comparison between BGK EHs and KdV
solitons [8–10]. In addressing the quasi-particle picture
of EHs, Schamel [9] concluded that EHs were positively
charged, screened by the ambient electrons over many
Debye lengths ( λD), and had negative mass [9]. This
conclusion supports the positive EH picture previously
obtained from the numerical experiments [2,11] and that
the minimum size of EHs of several λDis a consequence
of thermal screening by the ambient electrons.
Turikov [8] followed the BGK approach and con-
structed the trapped electron distribution for a
Maxwellian ambient electron distribution and for sev-
eral kinds of solitary potential profiles. He restricted
his study to BGK EHs with phase space density zero in
a hole center and the results showed that the potential
width increases with increasing amplitude. This behav-
ior is different from that of the KdV solitons whose width
decreases with increasing amplitude. He also numerically
simulated the temporal evolution of the EHs for different
Mach numbers to study the EH stability and found that
EHs are quasi-stable for Mach numbers less than 2. One
of the main conclusions that Turikov made was that EHs
1are purely kinetic nonlinear objects in which trapped par-
ticles play an important role, but exactly what physical
role trapped particles played was not addressed.
Space-borne experiments now show that electrostatic
solitary waves (ESW) are ubiquitous in Earth’s magne-
tospheric boundaries, shock, geomagnetic tail and auro-
ral ionosphere [12–19]. While detailed properties of these
solitary waves are continuously being studied, it has been
shown that in a number of cases the ESWs have features
that are consistent with BGK electron [20] and ion [21]
mode solitary waves. A statistical study by FAST satel-
lite observations [16,17] in the auroral ionosphere has re-
vealed that solitary pulses with a positive potential typ-
ically have a Gaussian half width ranging from less than
oneλDto severalλDwith a mean of 1 .80λDand a stan-
dard deviation of 1 .13λD. However, the statistical anal-
ysis strongly favored large amplitude pulses [16,17] and
smaller EHs if they existed were not sampled. This ques-
tion of how small EHs can be is an important issue asso-
ciated with how a collisionless plasma supports nonlinear
waves and needs to be further investigated.
To examine the physical roles played by trapped and
passing electrons, we start first with simple physical ar-
guments and then perform analytical calculations using
the same formulation used by Turikov [8], except we relax
the restriction of empty-centered EHs and obtain a more
general width-amplitude relation. The number density
profiles of trapped and passing electrons are calculated
to show that the negative charge density at the flank
of the EH comes exclusively from trapped electrons. It
is argued that the BGK EH as a physical entity con-
sists of a density enhanced region and a depletion region,
and the total charge of the EH is zero. The screening of
the positive core is achieved by trapped electrons oscil-
lating between their turning points, and not the thermal
screening by the ambient electrons as previously thought.
There does not exist a minimum size for BGK EHs based
on Debye shielding. In addition, two separated EHs do
not interact and the concept of negative mass is not
needed. These features are shown to be independent of
the strength of the nonlinearity defined by the amplitude
of the potential.
We first discuss heuristically the behavior of electrons
in the vicinity of a potential pulse. Figures 1(a)-1(c)
show the general form of a positive solitary potential
pulse (φ(x)), the corresponding bipolar electric field ( E=
−∂φ/∂x ) and the total charge density ( ρ=−∂2φ/∂x2).
The charge density is positive at the core, negative at the
boundary, and zero outside the solitary potential. Figure
1(d) shows the potential energy trough with an electron
passing by (open circle) and a trapped electron (solid cir-
cle) at its turning point. Consider the phase space tra-
jectories of electrons passing by the potential and those
that are trapped in the potential shown in Figure 1(e).−eφ

The dashed line marked by electrons with zero total en-
ergy is the boundary of the trapping region inside which
electrons are trapped and outside which electrons are un-
trapped. The total energy, w=m
2v2−eφ, is a constant
of motion. A passing electron ( w > 0) moves with a
constant velocity outside the potential and the speed in-
creases when it encounters the potential pulse and then
decreases back to its original value as it moves away. A
trapped electron ( w<0) bounces back and forth between
its two turning points in the potential. Since there is no
source or sink for the particles, the density is inversely
proportional to the velocity. We can thus deduce that the
density of passing electrons is constant outside and be-
comes smaller as φincreases. No excess negative charge
results from the passing electrons. On the other hand,
trapped electrons have density maxima at their turning
points, and so must be responsible for the excess nega-
tive charge. The charge density variation (Figure 1(c))
needed to be self-consistent with the solitary potential
pulse is thus a net balance of the negative charge from
trapped electrons and the positive charge due to the den-
sity decrease of passing electrons since the ion density is
assumed uniform. From this simple picture, one can see
that in BGK solitary waves it is the trapped electrons
traveling with the solitary potential that screen out the
positive core. Our picture is different from the picture of
a positive object in a plasma whose screening is achieved
by the thermal motion of the plasma (Debye shielding).
The entire trapping region that consists of the total
electron density enhancement at the flanks and deple-
tion at the core is a physical entity produced by the self-
consistent interaction between the plasma particles and
the solitary potential pulse. This defines the physical
identity of one BGK EH. The total charge of the entire
trapping region is zero, and therefore it follows that two
separated BGK EHs do not interact and the concept of
negative mass is not needed.
We now use the approach formulated by BGK [1] to
quantify the above arguments and in addition demon-
2strate that the results are independent of the strength of
the nonlinearity. The time-independent, coupled Vlasov
and Poisson equations with the assumption of a uniform
neutralizing ion background take the following form:
v∂f(v,x)
∂x+1
2∂φ
∂x∂f(v,x)
∂v= 0, (1)
∂2φ
∂x2=/integraldisplay∞
−∞f(v,x)dv−1, (2)
where f is the electron distribution function and the units
have been normalized such that x is normalized by the
Debye length, λD, energy by the ambient electron ther-
mal energy, Te, velocity by vt=/radicalbig
2Te/m,φbyTe/e.
The total energy w=v2−φunder this convention.
f=f(w) is a solution to Eq. 1 as can be readily verified.
Recognizing this, Eq. 2 can be re-written in the following
form,
∂2φ
∂x2=/integraldisplay0
−φdwftr(w)
2√w+φ+/integraldisplay∞
0dwfp(w)
2√w+φ−1,(3)
whereftr(w) andfp(w) are the trapped and passing elec-
tron phase space densities at energy w, respectively. The
first integral on the RHS of Eq. 3 is the trapped elec-
tron density, and the second integral the passing electron
density. Prescribe the solitary potential as a Gaussian,
φ(ψ,δ,x ) =ψexp (−x2/2δ2), (4)
and the passing electron distribution a Maxwellian where
the density has been normalized to 1 outside the solitary
potential,
fp(w) =2√πexp (−w). (5)
As in BGK approach, we write the trapped electron dis-
tribution as
ftr(w) =2

. (8)
The first term on the RHS of Eq. 8 has been obtained
numerically and the second term analytically by Turikov[8] except for the difference of an overall factor 2 because
he defined only half of the phase space density for energy
wasftr(w). Turikov did not explore the details of ftr
nor did he calculate the contributions from trapped and
passing electrons to macroscopic quantities, such as the
charge density, associated with EHs. As shown below, we
have relaxed the restriction to empty-centered EHs and
taken further steps to unfold the information contained
inftrwith emphasis on understanding how a collisionless
plasma kinetically supports solitary wave solutions.
The first term in ftrcomes from ∂2φ/∂x2term in Eq.
7 and has a single peak at w=−ψ
4e3/2. This term is
0 atw= 0−, goes negative at w=−ψ, and will al-
ways be single peaked even for other bell-shaped soli-
tary potentials (for example, sech2(x/δ) and sech4(x/δ),
see Figure 4 of [8] for the special case of empty-centered
EHs). Although the peak location may vary, it will not
be at the end points, 0 and −ψ. The second term aris-
ing from the integral of the passing electron distribu-
tion monotonically decreases from w= 0−tow=−ψ.
The end point behavior of the two terms implies that
ftr(w= 0−)> ftr(w=−ψ). Combining the behav-
ior of the two terms in ftr, it can be concluded that
ftr(0> w≥ −ψ)≥ftr(w=−ψ). This feature of ftris
essential in making a solitary pulse, and it manifests it-
self at the peak of the potential as two counterstreaming
beams.
ftris subject to the constraint,
ftr(ψ,δ,w =−ψ)≥0, (9)
from which we obtain
δ≥/bracketleftbigg2√ψ(2 ln 4 −1)√πeψ[1−erf(√ψ)]/bracketrightbigg1/2
. (10)
Inequality 9 guarantees that ftr(ψ,δ,0> w≥ −ψ)≥0,
sinceftr(0> w≥ −ψ)≥ftr(w=−ψ) as we have
pointed out above. Turikov [8] only considered the spe-
cial case of empty-centered EHs, which corresponds to
the equal sign in inequalities 9 and 10. We plot the
width-amplitude relation, Ineq. 10, in Figure 2. A point
in the shaded region represents an allowed EH with a
givenψandδ. The shaded region includes all of the
allowedψandδfor the range of values shown. For a
fixedδ, allψ≤ψ0are allowed, where ψ0is such that
ftr(ψ0,δ,w=−ψ0) = 0; while for a fixed ψ, allδ≥δ0
are allowed, where δ0is such that ftr(ψ,δ0,w=−ψ) = 0.
This width-amplitude relation is dramatically different
from that of KdV solitons whose width-amplitude rela-
tion is a one-to-one mapping. There does not exist a
minimum size for BGK EHs, and the size need not to be
severalλD[22,9], since one can always adjust ψso that
the RHS of 10 is smaller than the δthat’s picked up. We
will come back to this issue later in the paper.
Withfpandftr, we can now calculate the passing and
trapped electron densities separately and obtain

FIG. 2. the width-amplitude relation of BGK EHs that are
not restricted to be empty-centered for a Gaussian potentia l
and Maxwellian ambient electron distribution
To study the contributions from trapped and passing
electrons to the charge density ( −∂2φ/∂x2) and how such
contributions are affected by various parameters, we show
in Figures 3-5 plots of ntr(ψ,δ,x ) andnp(ψ,δ,x ) and
the charge density ρas a function of xfor several values
ofψandδ. Figure 3 plots 100 ×ntr(2×10−5,0.1,x),
100×[np(2×10−5,0.1,x)−1], and 100 ×ρ. For an ambient
plasma with Te= 700eVandλD= 100mas found at
ionospheric heights by FAST satellite in the environmentof BGK EHs [17], this case corresponds to ψ= 1.4×
10−2Vandδ= 10m. As shown, in this weakly nonlinear
case, the maximum perturbation in npis only 0.5% and
inntr0.4%. The perturbation in the charge density ρis
≤0.2%, and occurs all within one λD.
We plotnp(5,4.4,x) andntr(5,4.4,x), and the corre-
spondingρin Figure 4. This choice corresponds to a
point nearly located on the curve ftr(w=−ψ) = 0 in
Figure 2 and is an extremely nonlinear case. One can see
that the total charge density perturbation goes ∼10%
negative and ∼25% positive, corresponding respectively
to electron density enhancement and depletion. With
similar format, Figure 5 plots a case with same δand
ψ= 1 to illustrate the change in np,ntr, andρof an EH
with equal width but smaller amplitude. By locating this
case in Figure 2, one notices that farther away from the
ftr(w=−ψ) = 0 curve, the dip in ntris filled up and the
charge density perturbation only increases to 5% positive
and 2% negative.
These examples demonstrate how trapped electrons
produce negative charge density perturbations and pass-
ing electrons positive charge density perturbations owing
to the decrease in their number density. It is always true
thatntr≥0, since the number density cannot be nega-
tive, and therefore trapped electrons always contribute to
negative charge density regardless of the strength of the
nonlinearity. This result disagrees with the picture that
the positive core is due to a deficit of deeply trapped elec-
trons, and that this positive core is screened out by the
ambient electrons [9]. It is also different from the conclu-
sion that the trapped electrons are screened out by the
resonant or nonresonant passing electrons depending on
the EH velocity in [22].

We now return to the issue of minimum size of EHs.
From the illustrations of Figures 3-5, one sees that the
trapped electrons have to distribute and oscillate in such
a way to result in the desired negative charge at the flanks
to shield out the positive core. The entire solitary object
is a self-consistent and self-sustained object with zero to -
tal charge and does not require thermal screening. Thus,
the size of EHs are not restricted to be greater than λD.
The charge density variations ( ρ) in Figures 4 and 5
suggest that the maximum excursion of ρis proportional
toψfor fixedδ, asMax(ρ) decreases from 25% to 5%
whenψvaries from 5 to 1. This relation can be quantified
in the following way:
Max(ρ)≡ρ(x= 0)
=−ntr(x= 0)−np(x= 0) + 1 = ψ/δ2,(13)
which shows that when δis fixed,ρ(x= 0) varies lin-
early with ψfrom 0 to ψ0/δ2, whereψ0is such that
ftr(ψ0,δ,w =−ψ0) = 0 (the curve in Figure 2). Eq.
13 although obtained from a particular case of a Gaus-
sian potential is actually a general relation that holds
for bell-shaped potentials. We can examine the gener-
ality of Eq. 13 by a dimensional analysis: since the
potential amplitude and width are the only two char-
acteristic scales involved in the second spatial derivativ e
of the potential, the maximum excursion of the charge
density (that is −∂2φ/∂x2|x=0) is proportional to ψ/δ2.
We can also examine how ρ(x= 0) varies along the curve
ftr(w=−ψ) = 0 (empty-centered EHs) by writing δas
a function of ψ. Eq. 13 then becomes
ρ(x= 0)ec=√π√ψeψ[1−erf(√ψ)]
2(4 ln2 −1), (14)
where the subscript ec stands for empty centered. The
RHS of Eq. 14 tends to zero as√ψforψ≪1, and ap-
proaches the constant 1 /2(4 ln2 −1) forψ≫1. In other
words, for empty-centered EHs the maximum charge den-
sity excursion does not increase indefinitely with ψbut
settles to a constant value. Since for a physical solu-
tion, one would not expect Max(ρ) to increase indefi-
nitely, we can take Max(ρ) approaching a constant at
largeψ(≫1) as a general behavior for bell-shaped soli-
tary potentials. It then implies that for large ψ, the
width-amplitude relation δ∝√ψholds in general. For
ψ≪1, we can only deduce that δmust approach zeroin a manner faster than√ψin order to meet the physi-
cal requirement that Max(ρ) goes to zero with ψ. This
general width-amplitude relation that we obtained for
empty-centered EHs is independent of the specific func-
tional form of the solitary potential and is consistent with
what Turikov [8] obtained for two special profiles of po-
tentials, sech2(x/δ) and sech4(x/δ).
In summary, we obtained the trapped electron dis-
tribution function for a Gaussian potential and a
Maxwellian passing electron distribution following the
BGK approach, and showed that the charge density vari-
ation is the net balance of the negative charge produced
by trapped electrons and the positive charge density pro-
duced by a depletion of passing electrons inside the soli-
tary potential. It is not the thermal screening from the
ambient electrons that shields out the positive core of
the EH, but the oscillations of trapped electrons in be-
tween their turning points that result in the excess neg-
ative charge. We showed that a BGK EH consists of an
electron density enhanced region and depletion region,
and this means that the total charge for a BGK EH is
zero. It thus follows that two separated EHs do not in-
teract and the concept of negative mass is not needed. It
also indicates that there does not exist a minimum size
for BGK EHs. These features are independent of the
particular choice of potential profile and passing electron
distribution, and also independent of the strength of non-
linearity. The restriction to empty-centered EHs which
was used previously is relaxed to obtain a more general
width-amplitude relation that is not a one-to-one map-
ping but of an inequality form. The maximum charge
density excursion is shown to be proportional to ψand
inversely proportional to δ, and approaches a constant
forψ≫1. It is also argued that for BGK EHs that are
empty-centered, the width-amplitude relation for ψ≫1
takes the common form δ∝√ψ, and forψ≪1,δap-
proaches zero faster than√ψ.
In the above calculation, the EHs do not have relative
motion with respect to the ambient electrons. However,
this does not restrict us to non-moving EHs, since the
entire ambient electron population can have a finite mean
velocity ∝angbracketleftv∝angbracketrighte−iwith respect to the ions (whose frame is
taken to be the observer frame) as long as ∝angbracketleftv∝angbracketrighte−i/vtlies
within the threshold of Buneman instability [23], where
vtis the ambient electron thermal velocity. In fact, it
has been shown that a finite ∝angbracketleftv∝angbracketrighte−iis needed for the long
term stability of BGK EHs to ensure that ions do not
participate in the dynamics of the solitary pulses [24].
The inclusion of a finite EH velocity with respect to the
ambient electrons will only introduce an asymmetry in
the partition between the two directions of the velocity of
passing electrons, and will not alter the above conclusions
as long as the BGK solutions remain valid, that is, before
any instability sets in.
Our result indicates that there is no long range inter-
action between BGK EHs. Two EHs interact only when
5they are in contact. The only factor that can bring two
separated EHs closer to each other is their relative veloc-
ity. A system with multiple EHs will not evolve into a
state with only one single EH, if the EHs are separated
and move with equal velocity or if the faster EH moves
in front of the slower ones.
Finally, note that the arguments and results we ob-
tained for BGK electron solitary waves can be analo-
gously applied to BGK ion solitary waves.

Abstract
We develop a covariant density matrix approach to kinetic th eory of QED plasmas
subjected into a strong external electromagnetic field. A ca nonical quantization of
the system on space-like hyperplanes in Minkowski space and a covariant general-
ization of the Coulomb gauge is used. The condensate mode ass ociated with the
mean electromagnetic field is separated from the photon degr ees of freedom by a
time-dependent unitary transformation of both, the dynami cal variables and the
nonequilibrium statistical operator. Therefore even in th e case of strong external
fields a perturbative expansion in orders of the fine structur e constant for the cor-
relation functions as well as the statistical operator is ap plicable. A general scheme
for deriving kinetic equations in the hyperplane formalism is presented.

1 Introduction
In recent years the theoretical study of dense relativistic plasmas is of in-
creasing interest. Such plasmas are not only limited to astr ophysics, but can
nowadays be produced by high-intense short-pulse lasers [1 ,2]. In view of the

3gerd@darss.mpg.uni-rostock.de
Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 25 September 2012inertial confinement fusion, one has to consider a plasma und er extreme con-
ditions which is created by a strong external field. This new e xperimental
progress needs a systematic approach based on quantum elect rodynamics and
methods of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.
Considerable attention has been focussed on a mean-field (Vl asov-type) kinetic
equation for the fermionic Wigner function, which is an esse ntial step towards
transport theory of laser-induced QED plasmas. Using the Wi gner operator
defined in four-dimensional momentum space [3–5], a manifes tly covariant
mean-field kinetic equation can be derived from the Heisenbe rg equations of
motion for the field operators. In this approach, however, it is difficult to
formulate an initial value problem for the kinetic equation since the four-
dimensional Fourier transformation in the covariant Wigne r function includes
integration of two-point correlation functions over time. This difficulty does
not appear in the scheme based on the one-time fermionic Wigner function
where the field operators are taken at the same time and only th e spatial
Fourier transformation is performed. In the context of QED, the one-time
formulation was proposed by Bialynicki-Birula et al. [6] (r eferred to in the
following as BGR) and used successfully in their study of the electron-positron
vacuum. Within this approach one can explore a number of attr active features.
The one-time Wigner function has a direct physical interpre tation and allows
to calculate local observables, such as the charge density a nd the current
density. The description in terms of one-time quantities is quite natural in
kinetic theory based on the von Neumann equation for the stat istical operator
and provides a consistent account of causality in collision integrals.
It should be noted, however, that the one-time Wigner functi on does not con-
tain a complete information about one-particle dynamics; t he spectral prop-
erties of correlation functions can be described only in ter ms of two-point
Green’s functions which are closely related to the covarian t Wigner function.
Recently this aspect of relativistic kinetic theory was stu died within the mean-
field approximation [7,8]. The aforementioned incompleten ess of the one-time
description is well known in non-relativistic kinetic theo ry, where two-time
correlation functions can, in principle, be reconstructed from the one-time
Wigner function by solving integral equations which follow from the Dyson
equation for nonequilibrium Green’s functions [9]. The rec onstruction problem
in relativistic kinetic theory remains to be explored. The s olution of this prob-
lem requires a further development of the relativistic dens ity matrix method
as well as the relativistic Green’s function technique.
In this and subsequent papers we develop a density matrix app roach to kinetic
theory of QED plasma subjected into a strong electromagneti c field. From the
conceptual point of view, our aim is to generalize the BGR sch eme [6] in two
aspects. First, we wish to present the one-time formalism in covariant form.
This removes a drawback of the BGR theory which is not manifes tly covariant.
2Second, we will develop a scheme which allows to go beyond the mean-field
approximation, including dissipative processes in QED pla sma and the inter-
play between collisions and the mean-field effects. Whereas s ubsequent papers
will concern with explicit kinetic equations, the present fi rst part considers
some general problems of the one-time covariant approach to relativistic ki-
netic theory. In comparison to QED where the main object is th eS-matrix
constructed from vacuum averages of the field operators, kin etic theory of
QED deals with averages over a nonequilibrium ensemble desc ribing a many-
body system. Therefore we use the Hamiltonian formalism whi ch is typical for
the density matrix method. In this case, however, one meets w ith some funda-
mental problems which are considered in this paper. In order that the theory
be manifestly covariant, canonical quantization of the sys tem will be carried
out in a covariant fashion. Another point is that, in the pres ence of a strong
electromagnetic field, perturbation expansions in the fine s tructure constant
are not suitable. To overcome this difficulty, we will present a procedure which
allows to separate the classical part of the electromagneti c (EM) field and the
photon degrees of freedom at any time.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we briefly sket ch a scheme
of relativistic statistical mechanics in the form adapted t o kinetic theory. In
our approach we use a manifestly covariant Schr¨ odinger pic ture on space-
like hyperplanes in Minkowski space. Analogous formulatio ns of relativistic
quantum mechanics and quantum field theory can be found in lit erature for
various applications (see, e.g., [10–14]). In this way, “eq ual-time” correlation
functions are defined with respect to the “invariant time” va riable on a hyper-
plane. In Section 3 we perform canonical quantization of QED on space-like
hyperplanes and derive the covariant quantum Hamiltonian. Section 4 deals
with the condensate mode which corresponds to the electroma gnetic field in-
duced by the polarization in the system. The condensate mode is eliminated
by a time-dependent unitary transformation of the statisti cal operator and
dynamical variables. As a result, we obtain the effective Ham iltonian, where
the interaction of fermions with the mean electromagnetic fi eld is incorpo-
rated non-perturbatively at any time, while the interactio n between fermions
and photons is described by a term which can be taken into acco unt within
perturbation theory. It is shown how Maxwell equations for t he mean electro-
magnetic field are recovered in our scheme. In Section 5 the co variant one-time
Wigner function and the photon density matrix are introduce d and a method
for deriving kinetic equations in the hyperplane formalism is outlined. We
conclude the paper with a few remarks concerning our results and further
applications.
We use the system of units with c= ¯h= 1. The signature of the metric tensor
is (+,−,−,−).
32 Nonequilibrium statistical operator in the hyperplane fo rmalism
2.1 The relativistic von Neumann equation
It is well known that in the special theory of relativity a qua ntum state of a
system is defined by a complete set of commuting observables w hich can be
associated with a three-parameter space-like surface σin Minkowski space.
Among these surfaces three-dimensional hyperplanes are es pecially easy to
deal with [10–13]. Since the use of arbitrary space-like sur faces does not lead
to new physics, in what follows we restrict our consideratio n to hyperplanes.
A space-like hyperplane σ≡σn,τis characterized by a unit time-like normal
vectornµand a scalar parameter τwhich may be interpreted as an “invariant
time”. The equation of the hyperplane σn,τreads
x·n=τ, n2=nµnµ= 1. (2.1)
In the special Lorentz frame where nµ= (1,0,0,0), Eq. (2.1) reads x0=τ; in
this frame the parameter τcoincides with the time variable t=x0. By treat-
ing a state vector |Ψ[σn,τ]/an}b∇acket∇i}htas a functional of σn,τ, the covariant Schr¨ odinger
equation can be derived from the relation between the state v ector on the hy-
perplaneσand the state vector on the hyperplane σ′=Lσwhich is obtained
by an inhomogeneous Lorentz transformation L={a,Λ}:
σ→σ′=Lσ:x→x′= Λx+a. (2.2)
The relation between the state vectors is [15]
U(L)|Ψ[Lσ]/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=|Ψ[σ]/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, (2.3)
whereU(L) =U(a,Λ) is a unitary representation of the inhomogeneous
Lorentz group. The generators of this representation, ˆPµandˆMµν, are the
energy-momentum vector and the angular momentum tensor, re spectively. For
our purposes, the only transformations of relevance are pur e time-like trans-
lations which change the value of τ. Recalling the form of U(a,Λ) for pure
translations
U(a,1) = exp/braceleftBig
iˆPµaµ/bracerightBig
(2.4)
and introducing the notation/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleΨ[σn,τ]/angbracketrightBig
=|Ψ(n,τ)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, Eq. (2.3) can be written
for an infinitesimal time-like translation aµ=nµδτas
|Ψ(n,τ+δτ)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht+iδτ/parenleftBigˆPµnµ/parenrightBig
|Ψ(n,τ)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=|Ψ(n,τ)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, (2.5)
4from which we obtain the relativistic Schr¨ odinger equatio n
i∂
∂τ|Ψ(n,τ)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=ˆH(n)|Ψ(n,τ)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht (2.6)
with the Hamiltonian on the hyperplane given by
ˆH(n) =ˆPµnµ. (2.7)
In the presence of a prescribed external field, the energy-mo mentum vector
and, consequently, the Hamiltonian ˆHτ(n) can depend explicitly on τ. Com-
bining Eq. (2.6) with the adjoint equation for the bra-vecto r, one finds that the
statistical operator ̺(n,τ) for a mixed quantum ensemble obeys the equation
∂̺(n,τ)
∂τ−i/bracketleftBig
̺(n,τ),ˆHτ(n)/bracketrightBig
= 0, (2.8)
which is analogous to the non-relativistic von Neumann equa tion.
2.2 Schr¨ odinger and Heisenberg pictures on hyperplanes
The evolution of a mixed ensemble on space-like hyperplanes can be repre-
sented in different pictures. The statistical operator in th e Heisenberg picture
does not depend on the parameter τand is associated with some fixed hy-
perplaneσn,τ0. Dynamical variables are represented by operators ˆOH([σn,τ])
which are functionals of the hyperplanes. Of particular int erest in quantum
field theory are local operators ˆOH(x) which depend on the space-time point
x. In what follows it will be convenient to treat such operator s as functions
of the parameter τ. To define this dependence, we introduce the transverse
projector with respect to the normal vector nµ,
∆µ
ν=δµ
ν−nµnν, (2.9)
and notice that a space-time four-vector xµcan be represented in the form
xµ=nµτ+xµ
⊥, τ =n·x, (2.10)
where
xµ
⊥= ∆µ
νxν(2.11)
5is the transverse (space-like) component of x. Geometrically, Eq. (2.10) means
that the space-like vector xµ
⊥lies on the hyperplane σn,τpassing through the
space-time point x. Using the decomposition (2.10), a local Heisenberg oper-
atorˆOH(x) can be written as
ˆOH(x) =ˆOH(nτ+x⊥)≡ˆOH(τ,x⊥). (2.12)
Let us assume that ˆPµdoes not depend explicitly on τ. Then, recalling the
well-known equation of motion for Heisenberg operators
∂µˆOH(x) =−i[ˆOH(x),ˆPµ], (2.13)
one readily finds that the time-like evolution of such operat ors is described by
the equation
ˆOH(τ,x⊥) = ei(τ−τ0)ˆH(n)ˆOH(τ0,x⊥) e−i(τ−τ0)ˆH(n)(2.14)
with the Hamiltonian (2.7). The generalization of Eq. (2.14 ) to situations in
which the Hamiltonian ˆHτdepends explicitly on τis obvious. Defining the
evolution operator U(τ,τ′;n) as the ordered exponent
U(τ,τ′;n) =Tτexp
−iτ/integraldisplay
τ′ˆH¯τ(n)d¯τ
, (2.15)
we have
ˆOH(τ,x⊥) =U†(τ,τ0;n)ˆOH(τ0,x⊥)U(τ,τ0;n). (2.16)
In the Schr¨ odinger picture, the statistical operator ̺(n,τ) isτ-dependent and
its time-like evolution is governed by Eq. (2.8), whereas op erators ˆOSare
defined on a fixed hyperplane. Assuming the Heisenberg and Sch r¨ odinger pic-
tures to coincide on the hyperplane σn,τ0, Eq. (2.16) implies that the transition
from the Schr¨ odinger picture to the Heisenberg picture is g iven by
ˆOH(τ,x⊥) =U†(τ,τ0;n)ˆOS(x⊥)U(τ,τ0;n). (2.17)
The mean values O(x) of local dynamical variables can be calculated in both
pictures. Using a formal solution of Eq. (2.8)
̺(n,τ) =U(τ,τ0;n)̺(n,τ0)U†(τ,τ0;n), (2.18)
6we find that
O(x) =/an}b∇acketle{tˆOH(τ,x⊥)/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ0=/an}b∇acketle{tˆOS(x⊥)/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ. (2.19)
Here and in what follows the symbol /an}b∇acketle{t· · ·/an}b∇acket∇i}htτstands for averages calculated with
the statistical operator ̺(n,τ). In many problems one is dealing with partial
derivatives ∂µO(x) which enter the equations of motion for local observables.
In the hyperplane formalism, it is convenient to express the partial derivatives
in terms of the derivatives with respect to τandx⊥. Recalling Eqs. (2.10)
and (2.11), we write
∂µ=nµ∂
∂τ+∇µ,∇µ= ∆ν
µ∂ν= ∆ν
µ∂
∂xν
⊥. (2.20)
Then, in the Heisenberg picture, Eq. (2.19) yields the equat ion of motion
∂µO(x) =/angbracketleftBig
∂µˆOH(τ,x⊥)/angbracketrightBigτ0, (2.21)
where
∂µˆOH(x) =nµ∂
∂τˆOH(τ,x⊥) +∇µˆOH(τ,x⊥)
≡ −inµ/bracketleftBigˆOH(τ,x⊥),ˆHH(n,τ)/bracketrightBig
+∇µˆOH(τ,x⊥). (2.22)
In the Schr¨ odinger picture, the τ-dependence of the mean values appears
through the statistical operator which obeys the von Neuman n equation (2.8).
Nevertheless, in this picture from Eq. (2.19) we obtain a sim ilar equation of
motion
∂µO(x) =/angbracketleftBig
∂µˆOS(x⊥)/angbracketrightBigτ(2.23)
with the analogous definition of the operator ∂µacting on local dynamical
variables:
∂µˆOS(x⊥) =−inµ/bracketleftBigˆOS(x⊥),ˆH(n)/bracketrightBig
+∇µˆOS(x⊥). (2.24)
2.3 “Equal-time” correlation functions
Describing the evolution of the system in terms of hyperplan es, we can in-
troduce “equal-time” correlation functions of local dynam ical variables with
respect to the invariant time τ. Let ˆO1H(x),ˆO2H(x),...,ˆOkH(x) be some local
7Heisenberg operators. Then the “equal-time” correlation f unction for these
operators can be defined as
F1···k(x1⊥,...,xk⊥;n,τ) =/an}b∇acketle{tˆO1H(x1)· · ·ˆOkH(xk)/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ0, (2.25)
wheren·x1=n·x2=...=n·xk=τ. In the Schr¨ odinger picture this
correlation function takes the form
F1···k(x1⊥,...,xk⊥;n,τ) =/an}b∇acketle{tˆO1S(x1⊥)· · ·ˆOkS(xk⊥)/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ. (2.26)
The covariant von Neumann equation (2.8) yields the equatio ns
∂
∂τF1···k(x1⊥,...,xk⊥;n,τ) =−i/an}b∇acketle{t[ˆO1S(x1⊥)· · ·ˆOkS(xk⊥),ˆHτ(n)]/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ(2.27)
which can serve as a starting point for constructing the quan tum hierarchy
for the “equal-time” correlation functions.
3 Hamiltonian of QED on hyperplanes
We will now apply the foregoing scheme to a relativistic syst em of charged
fermions interacting through the EM field. For definiteness, we take these
fermions to be electrons and positrons, so that protons will be treated as a
positively charged background which ensures electric neut rality of the system.
There is no difficulty in describing protons by an additional D irac field. Having
in mind applications to relativistic plasmas produced by hi gh-intense shot-
pulse lasers, we assume the system to be subjected into a pres cribed external
EM field which is not necessarily weak.
3.1 The Lagrangian density
The first step in formulating the kinetic theory of QED plasma is to construct
the Hamiltonian ˆH(n). We start with the classical Lagrange density
L(x) =LD(x) +LEM(x) +Lint(x) +Lext(x), (3.1)
where LD(x) and LEM(x) are the Lagrangian densities of free Dirac and EM
fields respectively, Lint(x) is the interaction Lagrangian density, and the term
Lext(x) describes the interaction of fermions with the external el ectromagnetic
field. In standard notation (see, e.g., [16]), we have
8LD(x) =¯ψ(x)/parenleftbiggi
2γµ↔

ψ(x), (3.2)
LEM(x) =−1

Lint(x) =−jµ(x)Aµ(x), (3.4)
Lext(x) =−jµ(x)Aµ
ext(x), (3.5)
where↔
∂µ=→
∂µ−←
∂µ. In the following the electromagnetic field tensor is
taken in the form Fµν=∂µAν−∂νAµ. The current density four-vector will
be expressed as jµ=e¯ψγµψwithe <0. We wish to remark that in our
approach the four-potential of the EM field is decomposed int o two terms. The
variablesAµ(x) correspond to the EM field caused by charges and currents in
the system, while Aµ
ext(x) is a prescribed external field. In what follows, only
the dynamical field Aµ(x) will be quantized.
3.2 Canonical quantization on hyperplanes
A canonical quantization implies that some gauge fixing cond ition is im-
posed onAµ. For many-particle systems studied in statistical mechani cs, the
Coulomb gauge seems to be the most natural. However, the disa dvantage of
this gauge is that it is not manifestly covariant. Therefore we will use a general-
ization of the Coulomb gauge condition which is consistent w ith the covariant
description of evolution in terms of space-like hyperplane s. To formulate this
condition, we introduce for any four-vector Vµthe decomposition into the
transverse and longitudinal parts by
Vµ=nµV/bardbl+Vµ
⊥, V/bardbl=nνVν, Vµ
⊥= ∆µ
νVν, (3.6)
where ∆µ
νis the projector (2.9). Then a natural generalization of the Coulomb
gauge condition reads
∇µAµ
⊥= 0. (3.7)
In the special frame where nµ= (1,0,0,0) andAµ= (A0,A), Eq. (3.7) reduces
to∇·A= 0, which is the usual Coulomb gauge condition.
To define canonical variables for the electromagnetic field o n a hyperplane
σn,τ, we first perform the decomposition (3.6) of the field variabl esAµand the
decomposition (2.20) of the derivatives in the Euler-Lagra nge equations
∂L
∂Aµ−∂ν∂L
∂(∂νAµ)= 0. (3.8)

where we use the notation ˙f≡∂f/∂τ for derivatives with respect to τ. Equa-
tion (3.9) allows to eliminate the variable A/bardblin the Lagrangian. First we
rewrite expressions (3.3) and (3.4) in terms of A/bardblandAµ
⊥using the decom-
position procedure for the derivatives and the field Aµ. As a result we obtain
the Lagrangian density in the form

⊥+LD+Lext, (3.11)
where we have introduced the notation
Fµν
⊥=∇µAν
⊥− ∇νAµ
⊥. (3.12)
Note that the last two terms in Eq. (3.11) do not contain A/bardblandAµ
⊥. Now
using the expression (3.11) to calculate derivatives in Eq. (3.9) and taking into
account that, according to the gauge condition (3.7), ∇µ˙Aµ
⊥= 0, we get
∇µ∇µA/bardbl=j/bardbl. (3.13)
In the frame where nµ= (1,0,0,0), this reduces to the Poisson equation for
A0. The solution of Eq. (3.13) is
A/bardbl(τ,x⊥) =/integraldisplay
σndσ′G(x⊥−x′
⊥)j/bardbl(τ,x′
⊥), (3.14)
where the Green function G(x⊥) satisfies the equation
∇µ∇µG(x⊥) =δ3(x⊥) (3.15)
with the three-dimensional delta function on a hyperplane σndefined as
δ3(x⊥) =/integraldisplayd4p

G(x⊥) =−/integraldisplayd4p

The variable A/bardblcan now be eliminated in the Lagrangian density (3.11) with
the aid of Eq. (3.14). Terms like ∇ν(· · ·) can be dropped since they do not con-
tribute to the Lagrangian L=/integraldisplay

We will treat the fields Aµ
⊥as dynamical variables for EM field and follow the
Dirac version of canonical quantization of theories with co nstraints [17,18].
The gauge condition (3.7) is one of the constraint equation i n this scheme.
Another constraint equation follows directly from the defin ition of transverse
four-vectors, Eq. (3.6), and reads
nµAµ
⊥(x) = 0. (3.19)
We now define canonical conjugates for the field variables Aµ
⊥by
Π⊥µ=∂L
∂˙Aµ
⊥=−˙A⊥µ. (3.20)
Obviously the Π’s are not independent variables since they s atisfy the con-
straint equations ∇µΠµ
⊥= 0, andnµΠµ
⊥= 0. Thus, we have four constraints
imposed on the canonical variables. Now, following the stan dard quantization
procedure [18], the commutation relations for the field oper ators ˆAµ

can be derived. As shown in Appendix A, these commutation rel ations are

following decomposition of the Dirac matrices γµ:
γµ=nµγ/bardbl(n) +γµ
⊥(n), γ/bardbl(n) =nνγν, γµ
⊥(n) = (δµ
ν−nµnν)γν.(3.26)
In the special Lorentz frame where xµ= (t,r) andnµ= (1,0,0,0), we have
γ/bardbl=γ0andδ3(x⊥−x′
⊥) =δ(r−r′), so that Eq. (3.24) reduces to the well-
known anticommutation relation for the quantized Dirac fiel d.
3.3 Derivation of the Hamiltonian
The classical Hamiltonian on the hyperplane σn,τcan be derived in two ways.
Following the canonical procedure, Hτ(n) is obtained by the Legendre trans-
formation
H(n) =/integraldisplay
σn,τdσ/braceleftbigg
Π⊥µ˙Aµ

, (3.27)
where Lis given by Eq. (3.18). To find explicit expressions for the va riables
πand ¯π, which are conjugates to the fields ¯ψandψ, we rewrite the Dirac
Lagrangian density (3.2) using the decomposition (2.20) of derivatives:
LD=¯ψ

γ/bardbl↔

Then we have
¯π≡∂LD
∂˙ψ=i
2¯ψγ/bardbl, π ≡∂LD
∂˙¯ψ=−i
2γ/bardblψ. (3.29)
Substituting expressions (3.28) and (3.29) into Eq. (3.27) , we arrive at the
classical Hamiltonian. Another way is to start from the clas sical analog of
12Eq. (2.7) which reads
H(n) =Pµnµ≡/integraldisplay
σn,τdσnµTµνnν, (3.30)
whereTµν(x) is the energy-momentum tensor. In order that the quantized
Hamiltonian be hermitian, the energy-momentum tensor must be real. For
instance, one can use the so-called Belinfante tensor [19]. When applied to
the Lagrangian (3.1), the standard derivation of the Belinf ante tensor (see,
e.g., [16]) gives

Separating the longitudinal and transverse components wit h respect to the
normal vector nµand then eliminating the τ-derivatives of the fields with the
aid of Eqs. (3.20) and (3.29), the classical Hamiltonian on t he hyperplane is
obtained from Eq. (3.30). It can be verified that in both cases we have the
same expression for Hτ(n). The final step is to replace the canonical variables
Aµ
⊥,Πµ
⊥,ψ,¯ψby the corresponding quantum operators. As a result, we find t he
Hamiltonian in the form
ˆHτ(n) =ˆHD(n) +ˆHEM(n) +ˆHint(n) +ˆHτ
ext(n), (3.32)
where ˆHD(n) and ˆHEM(n) are the Hamiltonians for free fermions and the
polarization EM field respectively, ˆHint(n) is the interaction term, and ˆHτ
ext(n)
describes the external EM field effects. In the Schr¨ odinger p icture the explicit

13In the EM field Hamiltonian (3.34) the tensor operator

⊥ (3.37)
contains only the transverse components of the field operato rsˆAµwhich are
decomposed as
ˆAµ=nµˆA/bardbl+ˆAµ
⊥. (3.38)
The longitudinal part ˆA/bardblhas been eliminated in the interaction Hamilto-
nian (3.35) by the equation
∇µ∇µˆA/bardbl=ˆj/bardbl (3.39)
which is analogous to Eq. (3.13). As usual, in Eqs. (3.33)–(3 .36) normal or-
dering in operators is implied. The self-energy contributi on to the last term
in Eq. (3.35) is omitted, so that the product : ˆj/bardbl(x⊥) : :ˆj/bardbl(x′
⊥) : is under-
stood. For simplicity, we have written the Hamiltonian for t he case that the
fermionic subsystem is described by one Dirac field. The gene ralization to a
many-component case is obvious.
4 The condensate mode of EM field
An essential feature of the dynamical evolution of QED plasm a in a strong
external field is that the mean values of the canonical operat ors4,Aµ
⊥=/an}b∇acketle{tˆAµ
⊥/an}b∇acket∇i}ht
and Πµ
⊥=/an}b∇acketle{tˆΠµ
⊥/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, just as the mean values of creation and annihilation bosoni c
operators ˆaand ˆa†related to the canonical operators by plane-wave expan-
sions, are not zero. Furthermore, they are macroscopic quan tities associated
with the mean EM field induced by the polarization in the syste m. In the
language of statistical mechanics, the variables Aµ
⊥(x) and Πµ
⊥(x) describe a
macroscopic condensate mode of the EM field. This fact does not allow to
apply perturbation theory directly to the Hamiltonian (3.3 2) because the in-
teraction of fermions with the condensate mode or, what is th e same, with the
mean EM field is not weak. So, we have to separate the condensat e mode from
the photon degrees of freedom in the Hamiltonian and the stat istical operator.
4From this point onwards symbols Aµ
⊥, Πµ
⊥,jµ, etc. denote mean values of the
corresponding operators.
144.1 The time-dependent unitary transformation
The condensate mode is most easily isolated by introducing t heτ-dependent
unitary transformation
̺C(n,τ) = eiˆC(n,τ)̺(n,τ) e−iˆC(n,τ), (4.1)
where the operator ˆC(n,τ) is given by
ˆC(n,τ) =/integraldisplay
σndσ/braceleftBig
Aµ
⊥(x)ˆΠ⊥µ(x⊥)−Π⊥µ(x)ˆAµ
⊥(x⊥)/bracerightBig
. (4.2)
Note that the unitary transformation (4.1) does not affect fe rmionic operators
and has the properties
eiˆC(n,τ)ˆAµ
⊥(x⊥) e−iˆC(n,τ)=ˆAµ
⊥(x⊥) +Aµ
⊥(x),
eiˆC(n,τ)ˆΠµ
⊥(x⊥) e−iˆC(n,τ)=ˆΠµ
⊥(x⊥) + Πµ
⊥(x). (4.3)
Taking now into account that, for any operator ˆO,
/an}b∇acketle{tˆO/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ= Tr/braceleftBig

we find that
/angbracketleftBigˆAµ
⊥(x⊥)/angbracketrightBigτ
̺C=/angbracketleftBigˆΠµ
⊥(x⊥)/angbracketrightBigτ
̺C= 0. (4.5)
Thus, in the state described by the transformed statistical operator (4.1), the
canonical dynamical variables ˆAµ
⊥andˆΠµ
⊥have zero mean values and, hence,
they are not related to the condensate mode. In other words, a fter the unitary
transformation the EM field operators correspond to the phot on degrees of
freedom. Based on the above arguments, it is convenient to us e̺C(n,τ) as the
statistical operator of the system. It should be noted, howe ver, that̺C(n,τ)
does not satisfy the von Neumann equation (2.8) since the ope rator ˆCdepends
onτ. In order to derive the equation of motion for ̺C(n,τ), we differentiate
Eq. (4.1) with respect to τ. After some algebra which we omit, we find that the
transformed statistical operator satisfies the modified von Neumann equation

The transformation of ˆH(n) in the first term is trivial due to Eqs. (4.3) and
the fact that the transformation does not affect fermionic op erators. It is
convenient to eliminate the derivatives in the last term of E q. (4.7) with the
aid of the equations of motion for the condensate mode

⊥(x), (4.8)
which are easily derived using Eqs. (2.23), (2.24), and the c anonical commu-
tation relations (3.21). The tensor Fµν
⊥in Eq. (4.8) is the mean value of the
operator (3.37), and jµ
⊥(x) is the transverse part of the mean polarization
current
jµ(x) =/an}b∇acketle{tˆjµ(x⊥)/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ. (4.9)
Inserting Eqs. (4.8) into Eq. (4.7), the effective Hamiltoni an can be written
as a sum
ˆHτ(n) =ˆHτ
0(n) +ˆHτ
int(n). (4.10)
The main term
ˆHτ

where the mean polarization field Aµ(x) is given by
Aµ(x) =/angbracketleftBigˆAµ(x⊥)/angbracketrightBigτ. (4.13)
The term ˆHτ

and fermions. The explicit expression for this term is

∆ˆjµ(x⊥;τ) =ˆjµ(x⊥)− /an}b∇acketle{tˆjµ(x⊥)/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ(4.15)
represent quantum fluctuations of the fermionic current. Th e essential point
is that now the interaction term (4.14) does not contain a con tribution from
the condensate mode and, consequently, one can use perturba tion expansions
in the fine structure constant.
4.2 Maxwell equations
To complete our discussion of the condensate mode, we will sh ow how the
Maxwell equations for the total mean EM are derived in our app roach. Ac-
cording to Eq. (4.12), the total field tensor can be written as
Fµν(x) =∂µAν(x)−∂νAµ(x) =Fµν
ext(x) +Fµν(x). (4.16)
The external field tensor Fµν
extis assumed to satisfy the Maxwell equations
∂µFµν
ext(x) =jν
ext(x) (4.17)
with some prescribed external current jµ
ext. On the other hand, the polarization
field tensor Fµν(x) is the mean value of the operator
ˆFµν(x⊥) =∂µˆAν−∂νˆAµ
=ˆFµν
⊥+nν/parenleftBigˆΠµ
⊥+∇µˆA/bardbl/parenrightBig
−nµ/parenleftBigˆΠν
⊥+∇νˆA/bardbl/parenrightBig
. (4.18)
Recalling Eqs. (2.23) and (2.24), straightforward algebra ic manipulations with
the equations of motion for the field operators lead to the Max well equations
for the polarization field tensor
∂µFµν(x) =jν(x). (4.19)
17Now Eqs. (4.17) and (4.19) can be combined into the Maxwell eq uations for
the total field tensor
∂µFµν(x) =jν(x) +jν
ext(x). (4.20)
A solution of these equations gives the total mean field Aµin terms of the
total mean current.
5 Kinetic description of QED plasma
5.1 The “one-time” Wigner function
Within the hyperplane formalism a natural way of describing kinetic processes
in the fermion subsystem is by the “one-time” Wigner functio n which depends
on the variable τ. Since there is the gauge freedom for the mean field Aµ, it is
convenient to employ the gauge-invariant Wigner function o n the hyperplane
σn,τdefined as

of some density operator ˆfaa′. In the literature one can find different definitions
for the fermionic density operator. The most often used defin itions are
18ˆfaa′(x⊥,x′
⊥) =−1
2[ˆψa(x⊥),ˆ¯ψa′(x′
⊥)], (5.4)
ˆf′
aa′(x⊥,x′
⊥) = :ˆ¯ψa′(x′
⊥)ˆψa(x⊥):. (5.5)
These two operators are related by
ˆfaa′(x⊥,x′
⊥) =ˆf′
aa′(x⊥,x′
⊥) +Kaa′(x⊥,x′
⊥), (5.6)
where the last c-number term represents the vacuum expectation value of ˆf
since the vacuum expectation value of ˆf′is zero. It can be shown, however,
that the vacuum term in Eq. (5.6) does not contribute to local observables
like the mean current jµ(x). The advantage of the definition (5.5) is that the
mean values of one-particle dynamical variables (summatio n over repeated
spinor indices)

Unfortunately, the equation of motion for the density opera tor (5.5) with the
Hamiltonian (4.10) contains vacuum (divergent) terms. On t he other hand,
such terms do not appear in the equation of motion for the oper ator (5.4).
For this reason, we shall take the operator (5.4) as the one-p article density
operator in Eq. (5.3). An analogous definition was used previ ously for the
phase-space description of the QED vacuum in a strong field [6 ].
The Wigner function (5.1) is defined on a given family of hyper planesσn,τand,
hence, depends parametrically on the normal four-vector n. It should be noted,
however, that local observables calculated from the Wigner function do not
depend on the choice of n. As an important example, the mean polarization
current (4.9) can be written in the form
jµ(x) =e/an}b∇acketle{t:ˆ¯ψ(x⊥)γµˆψ(x⊥):/an}b∇acket∇i}htτ
=e/integraldisplayd4p
(2π)3δ(p·n) tr{γµW(x⊥,p⊥;τ=x·n)}, (5.9)
where the symbol “tr” stands for the trace over spinor indice s. Geometrically,
the above relation means that, in calculating the current, t he invariant time
19τhas a value such that the space-time point xlies on the hyperplane σn,τ.
5.2 The photon density matrix
To define the photon density matrix, we start from the plane wa ve expansion
of the vector potential operator ˆA⊥in terms of creation and annihilation op-
erators. By analogy with the well-known representation for the free photon
field in the special Lorentz frame where nµ= (1,0,0,0), we write
ˆAµ

the commutation relation (3.21) for the field operators is re covered. Note that
Eqs. (5.10) and (5.13) give the field operators in the interac tion picture. The
corresponding expansions for the field operators in the Schr ¨ odinger picture are
obtained by setting τ= 0. In this case the delta-function δ(q/bardbl−ωn(q⊥)) may
be replaced by δ(q/bardbl).

which the condensate mode of EM field has been eliminated. Whe n written in
terms of the average with the statistical operator ̺(n,τ), the photon density

where the last term corresponds to the contribution from the condensate mode.
215.3 The covariant statistical operator in QED kinetics

matrix (5.18) is governed by kinetic equations which can be d erived from the

There are two ways to express the right-hand sides of these eq uations in terms
of the fermionic and photon density matrices using perturba tion expansions
in the fine structure constant. One method is by considering t he hierarchy
for correlation functions which appear through the commuta tors with the
interaction Hamiltonian ˆHτ
int(n) and then employing some truncation proce-
dure. Another method is to construct an approximate solutio n of Eq. (4.6)
in terms of the density matrices fandN. In both cases one has to impose
some boundary conditions of the retarded type on the correla tion functions
or the statistical operator. The standard boundary conditi on in kinetic theory
is Bogoliubov’s boundary condition of weakening of initial correlations which
implies the uncoupling of all correlation functions to one- particle density ma-
trices in the distant past, i.e., for τ→ −∞ . In the scheme developed by
Zubarev (see, e.g., [20]), such boundary conditions can be i ncluded by using

are the “equal-time” correlation functions in which the con densate mode of
the EM field is eliminated. Since the relevant statistical op erator (5.24) ad-
mits Wick’s decomposition, the last term in Eq. (5.26) ensur es the boundary
condition of complete weakening of initial correlations. N ote that the explicit
knowledge of the statistical operator ̺C(n,τ) is not needed when considering
the hierarchy for the correlation functions. Use of some tru ncation procedure
is a standard practice in this case. The hierarchy for correl ation functions will
be discussed in subsequent papers in the context of the deriv ation of collision

In the presence of a strong EM field, the evolution of the fermi on subsystem
is governed predominantly by its interaction with the mean E M field. Thus,
the covariant mean-field kinetic equation for the Wigner fun ction (5.1) can
be derived from Eq. (5.32) neglecting the collision integra l. This kinetic equa-
tion as well as the collision integrals (5.34) and (5.35) wil l be considered in
subsequent papers.
246 Concluding remarks
We have shown that the hyperplane formalism can serve as the b asis for ki-
netic theory of QED plasma in the presence of a strong externa l field. The
formalism has the advantage that it is manifestly covariant and therefore al-
lows to introduce different approximations in covariant for m. The formalism
makes only minor changes in the non-relativistic density ma trix method, so
that many well-developed approaches can be directly applie d to QED plasma.
For instance, the explicit construction of the statistical operator allows to
incorporate many-particle correlations through the exten sion of the set of ba-
sic state parameters (see, e.g.,[20,21]). Note also that, u sing the Heisenberg
picture on hyperplanes, nonequilibrium Green’s functions can be introduced
with respect to the invariant time parameter τ. In such a way, the spectral
properties of microscopic dynamics can be incorporated.
Finally, we would like to emphasize once again two key proble ms in a covariant
density matrix approach to relativistic kinetic theory in t he presence of a
strong mean field. First, it is necessary to perform canonica l quantization of
the system on a hyperplane in Minkowski space. Second, the co ndensate mode
must be separated from the quantum degrees of freedom at any t ime. We have
shown how these problems can be solved in the context of QED pl asmas. As a
result, a general form of kinetic equations for fermions and photons was given.
The scheme outlined in this paper is also applicable to some q uantum field
models used in QCD transport theory. In this case the non-Abe lian algebra
must be worked out to describe the quark-gluon plasma.

for the canonical variables are equal to zero. In the Dirac te rminology, func-
tions (A.1) correspond to second class constraints since the matrix

Since the matrix elements (A.5) of Cdepend on the difference x⊥−x′

Eq. (A.7) can be solved for C−1using a Fourier transform on σn,τ, which
26is defined for any function f(x) as

where the functions cµν(x⊥−x′

general quantization rules, the commutation relations for canonical operators
correspond to i[...]D. Thus, in the hyperplane formalism, the commutation
relations for the operators of EM field are given by (3.21) and (3.22). Obviously
these relations are valid in the Schr¨ odinger and Heisenber g pictures.

Abstract
We investigate the competition between two quasis-
pecies residing on two disparate neutral networks.
Under the assumption that the two neutral networks
have different topologies and fitness levels, it is the
mutation rate that determines which quasispecies will
eventually be driven to extinction. For small muta-
tion rates, we find that the quasispecies residing on
the neutral network with the lower replication rate
will disappear. For higher mutation rates, however,
the faster replicating sequences may be outcompeted
by the slower replicating ones in case the connec-
tion density on the second neutral network is suffi-
ciently high. Our analytical results are in excellent
agreement with flow-reactor simulations of replicat-
ing RNA sequences.
Keywords: quasispecies, mutant cloud, neutral
networks, RNA secondary structure folding, selection
of robustness
At high mutation rates, the number of mutated
offspring generated in a population far exceeds the
number of offspring identical to their parents. As a
result, a stable cloud of mutants, a so-called qua-
sispecies (Eigen and Schuster 1979; Eigen et al.
1988; Eigen et al. 1989; Nowak 1992; Wilke et al.
2001), forms around the fastest replicating geno-
types. Experimental evidence in favor of such a
persistent cloud of mutants is available from RNA
viruses (Steinhauer et al. 1989; Domingo and Hol-
land 1997; Burch and Chao 2000) and in vitro RNAreplication (Biebricher 1987; Biebricher and Gardiner
1997); both are cases in which a high substitution
rate per nucleotide is common (Drake 1993). The ex-
istence of a quasispecies has important implications
for the way in which selection acts, because the evo-
lutionary success of individual sequences depends on
the overall growth rate of the quasispecies they be-
long to. As a consequence, organisms with a high
replication rate that produce a large number of off-
spring with poor fitness can be outcompeted by or-
ganisms of smaller fitness that produce a larger num-
ber of also-fit offspring (Schuster and Swetina 1988).
Similarly, if a percentage of the possible mutations
is neutral, and the majority of the non-neutral mu-
tations is strongly deleterious, then the growth rate
of a quasispecies depends significantly on the con-
nection density (the number of nearby neutral mu-
tants of an average viable genotype) of the neutral
genotypes (van Nimwegen et al. 1999). Therefore,
a neutral network (a set of closely related mutants
with identical fitness) with high connectivity can be
advantageous over one with higher fitness, but lower
connectivity. Here, we are interested in this latter
possibility. In particular, we investigate the compe-
tition of two quasispecies residing on separate neu-
tral networks with different connection densities and
replication rates, and determine under what condi-
tions selection favors the more fit (i.e., of higher repli-
cation rate) or the more robust (more densely con-
nected) mutant cloud. Our approach is closely re-
lated to the study of holey landscapes, in which all
genotypes are classified into either viable or inviable
ones (Gavrilets and Gravner 1997; Gavrilets 1997).
12
However, we extend this picture by further subdivid-
ing the viable genotypes into two groups with differ-
ent replication rates.
The paper is organized as follows. First, we de-
scribe a simple model of a quasispecies on a single
neutral network, and demonstrate that the model is
consistent with simulations of RNA sequences. Then,
based on this model, we present a model of two com-
peting quasispecies, and compare the second model
with simulation results as well. Following that, we
study the probability of fixation of a single advan-
tageous mutant that arises in a fully formed quasis-
pecies. Finally, we discuss the implications of our
results and give conclusions.
Population Dynamics on a Single Neutral
Network
Before we can address the competition of two qua-
sispecies, we need a good description of a single qua-
sispecies on a neutral network. A fundamental contri-
bution to this problem has been made by van Nimwe-
gen et al. (1999), who showed that the average fitness
of a population on a neutral network is determined
only by the fitness of the neutral genotypes, the mu-
tation rate, and the largest eigenvalue of the neu-
tral genotypes’ connection matrix. The connection
matrix is a symmetric matrix with one row/column
per neutral genotype. It holds a one in those posi-
tions where the row- and the column-genotype are
exactly one point-mutation apart, and a zero oth-
erwise. In theory, the formalism of van Nimwegen
et al. describes a population on a neutral network
well. However, the exact connection matrix is nor-
mally not known, which implies that we cannot cal-
culate the population dynamics from first principles.
Nevertheless, we can base a very simple model on
the fact – also established by van Nimwegen et al.–
that the average neutrality in the population, which
is exactly the largest eigenvalue of the connection ma-
trix, is independent of the mutation rate. The main
assumption of our simple model is that the popu-
lation behaves as if all sequences in the population
had the same neutrality ν, where νis given by the
average neutrality in the population. Moreover, we
consider genetic sequences of length l, and assume a
per-symbol copy fidelity of q. Then, the effective copy
fidelity or neutral fidelity (Ofria and Adami 2001) Q,
i.e., the probability with which on average a viablesequence gives birth to offspring that also resides on
the neutral network, is given by
Q= [1−(1−q)(1−ν)]l
≈e−l(1−q)(1−ν). (1)
Now, we can devise a two-concentration model in
which x1(t) is the total concentration of all sequences
on the neutral network, and xd(t) is the concentra-
tion of sequences off the network (these sequences are
assumed to replicate so slowly that their offspring can
be neglected). The two quantities satisfy the equa-
tions
˙x1(t) =w1Qx1(t)−e(t)x1(t),
˙xd(t) =w1(1−Q)x1(t)−e(t)xd(t),(2a)
where w1is the fitness of the sequences on the neutral
network, and e(t) is the excess production (or mean
fitness in the population) e(t) =w1x1(t). Equa-
tion (2a) can be integrated directly. We find
x1(t) =Qx1(0)
x1(0) + [ Q−x1(0)]e−w1Qt. (3)
In the steady state ( t→ ∞), this implies that the
concentration of sequences on the network is equal
to the effective fidelity Q,
x1=Q=e−l(1−q)(1−ν). (4)
Therefore, by measuring the decay of the concentra-
tion of sequences on the neutral network as a function
of the copy fidelity q, we can estimate the population
neutrality ν.
Note that the above description of the evolving
population is similar to the one presented by Reidys
et al. (2001), with one important conceptual differ-
ence. The article by Reidys et al. (2001) was com-
pleted before van Nimwegen et al.’s work was avail-
able, and therefore it was not clear what their ef-
fective fidelity did actually relate to. Here, on the
other hand, we know that Qdepends only on the
copy fidelity per nucleotide, q, and the average pop-
ulation neutrality ν, which is independent of qand
could be calculated exactly if the connection matrix
of the neutral genotypes was known.
We have measured the average equilibrium con-
centration x1of sequences on the network for RNA3
secondary structure folding. RNA folding is a reli-
able test case, and has been applied to a wide array
of different questions related to the dynamics of evo-
lution (Fontana et al. 1993; Huynen et al. 1996;
Fontana and Schuster 1998; Schuster and Fontana
1999; Ancel and Fontana 2000; Reidys et al. 2001).
We simulated a flow reactor using the Gillespie al-
gorithm (Gillespie 1976), and performed the RNA
folding with the Vienna package (Hofacker et al.
1994), version 1.3.1, which uses the parameters given
by Walter et al. (1994). The carrying capacity was
set to N= 1000 sequences, and the reactor was ini-
tially filled with 1000 identical copies of a sequence
that folded into a given target structure. Sequences
folding into the target structure were replicating with
rate one per unit time, and all other sequences with
rate 10−6per unit time. We let the reactor equili-
brate for 50 time steps, and then measured the aver-
age concentration of correctly folding sequences over
the next 150 time steps.
Results for the two different target structures de-
picted in Fig. 1 are shown in Fig. 2. In both cases,
we see a very clear exponential decay. Up to a muta-
tion rate of 0 .05, which is quite high for the sequences
of length l= 62 we are considering here, we cannot
make out a significant deviation from a straight line
in the log-linear plot. This verifies the applicability of
our simple model to evolving RNA sequences. Note
that our simulations also show a significant difference
in the effective neutrality of the two structures, which
will be of importance in the next section.
Two Competing Quasispecies
Analytical Model
Above, we have established a simple description
for a quasispecies residing on a single neutral net-
work. In a similar fashion, we can treat the compe-
tition of two quasispecies residing on separate net-
works. We classify all sequences into three different
groups: sequences on network one, sequences on net-
work two, and dead sequences (sequences that repli-
cate much slower than sequences on either of the two
networks, or do not replicate at all). We denote the
respective relative concentrations by x1,x2, and xd.
We make the further assumption that all sequences
within a neutral network ihave the same probabil-
ityQito mutate into another sequence on networki, and we neglect mutations from one network to the
other. The probability to fall off of a network iis
hence 1 −Qi. The differential equations for an infi-
nite population are then:

where w1andw2are the fitnesses of sequences on

cess production e(t) =w1x1(t)+w2x2(t). In order to
solve Eq. (5), it is useful to introduce the matrix
W=

0 w2Q2 0

We further need the exponential of W, which is given

a vector x= (x1,x2,xd)t, we find
x(t) = exp( Wt)·x(t)/[ˆe·exp(Wt)·x(0)] (8)
withˆe:= (1,1,1). The denominator on the right-

There exist two possible steady states. If w1Q1>
w2Q2, then for t→ ∞ we have x1=Q1,x2= 0,
xd= 1−Q1. Ifw1Q1< w2Q2, on the other hand, the
steady state distribution if given by x1= 0,x2=Q2,
xd= 1−Q2. The most interesting situation occurs
when for a given w1andw2, the steady state depends
on the mutation rate. This happens if w1> w2, but
ν1< ν2, or vice versa. Namely, if we express Qias
given in Eq. (1), we obtain from w1Q1=w2Q2the
critical copy fidelity
qc= 1−ln(w2/w1)
l(ν1−ν2). (11)
Clearly, qccan only be smaller than one if either
w1> w 2andν1< ν2or vice versa. Therefore,
this is a necessary (though not sufficient) condition
for the existence of two qualitatively different steady
states in different mutational regimes. In the lan-
guage of physics, the transition from one of the two
steady state to the other is a first order phase tran-
sition (Stanley 1971). The transition is of first order
because the order parameter (which we can define to
be either x1orx2) undergoes a discontinuous jump
from a finite value to zero at the critical mutation
rate.
The two phases are not just a mathematical curios-
ity, they have important biological interpretations.
The phase in which the sequences with the larger
wisurvive can be considered the “normal” selection
regime, i.e., selection which favors faster replicating
individuals. We will refer to this situation as the
phase of “selection for replication speed”. In the
other phase, however, the situation is exactly re-
versed, and the sequences with the lower intrinsic
replication rate wprevail. In this phase, the amount
of neutrality (or the robustness against mutations)
is more important, and we will consequently refer
to this situation as the phase of “selection for ro-
bustness”. In Fig. 3, we show two example phase
diagrams. These diagrams demonstrate that the se-
lection for robustness is not a pathological situation
occurring only for extremely rare sets of parameters,
but that in fact both phases have to be considered
on equal grounds, none of them can be singled out
as the more common one. In particular, as the ratio
between w1andw2approaches unity, the selection
for robustness becomes more and more important.
Simulation ResultsAs in the case of a single quasispecies on a neutral
network, we have tested our predictions with simu-
lations of self-replicating RNA sequences in a flow
reactor. We assumed that sequences folding into ei-
ther Fold 1 or 2 (Fig. 1) were replicating with rates
w1= 1 and w2= 1.1, respectively, while all other
folds had a vanishing replication rate. In all results
presented below, we initialized the flow reactor with
50% of the sequences folding into Fold 1, and the
remaining sequences folding into Fold 2.
Figure 4 shows a comparison between Eq. (10) and
four example runs. Apart from finite size fluctua-
tions, which are to be expected in a simulation with
N= 1000, the analytic expression predicts the actual
population dynamics well.
In Fig. 5, we present measurements of the concen-
trations x1(t) and x2(t) as functions of the mutation
rate 1−q, for a fixed time t= 200. The points rep-
resent results averaged over 25 independent simula-
tions, and the lines stem from Eq. (10). In agreement
with the predictions from our model, we observe two
selection regimes, one in which the faster replicating
sequences dominate, and one in which the sequences
with the higher neutrality have a selective advantage.
The transition between the two phases occurs in this
particular case approximately at q= 0.98, and both
the analytical model and the simulations agree well
on this value. As is typical for a phase transition,
the fluctuations close to the transition point increase
significantly, and the time until either of the two qua-
sispecies has gone extinct diverges (the latter point
can be seen from the fact that close to the transition
point, the disadvantageous fold is still present in a
sizeable amount, while further away it has already
vanished completely from the population).
Figure 5 also shows that for very small popula-
tions, the predictive value of the differential equation
approach diminishes, presumably because the choice
of a single effective copy fidelity Qis not justified
anymore once a minimum population size has been
reached. However, as long as we are dealing with pop-
ulation sizes of several hundreds or more, our analyt-
ical calculations predict the simulation results very
well.
Probability of Fixation
In the previous subsection, we have established
that selection acts on the product of replication rate5
wand fidelity Q, rather than on the replication rate
alone. In particular, for an appropriate choice of
parameters, sequences with a lower replication rate
can outcompete those with a higher replication rate.
However, the competition experiments that we con-
ducted in the previous section were unrealistic in so
far that we assumed equal initial concentrations of
the two competing types of sequences. A more real-
istic assumption is that one type (the one with the
lower product wiQi) dominates the population, while
the second type is initially represented through only
a single individual. The idea behind this scenario is
of course that the second type (with higher product
wiQi) has arisen through a rare mutation. The ques-
tion in this context is whether the second type will
be able to dominate the population, i.e., whether it
will become fixated.
In a standard population genetics scenario, the an-
swer to the above question is simple. If two sequences
replicate with w1andw2, respectively, and mutations
between the two sequences can be neglected, then a
single sequence of type 2 ( w2> w1) will become fix-
ated in a background of sequences of type 1 with
probability π= 1−e−2s≈2s, where s=w2/w1−1
is the selective advantage of the newly introduced
sequence type (Haldane 1927; Kimura 1964; Ewens
1979). Note, however, that this celebrated result is
only correct for a generational model with discrete
time steps. In a continuous time model, the equiva-
lent result reads π=s/(1 +s). This formula follows
from the solution to the problem of the Gambler’s
Ruin (Feller 1968; Lenski and Levin 1985) when tak-
ing the limit of a large population size.
Here, we are not dealing with individual sequences
replicating with rate wi, but rather with quasispecies
that grow with rate wiQi. A naive way to calculate
the fixation probability in this case is simply to re-
place wiwithwiQiin the expression for the selective
advantage, and hope that the result is correct. How-
ever, it is not clear from the outset that this approach
will work, because the factor Qidepends on the as-
sumption that a fully developed quasispecies with the
appropriate mean neutrality is already present. A
single sequence struggling for fixation does not satisfy
this condition. Therefore, the actual fixation prob-
ability might deviate from the one thus calculated,
in particular in circumstances in which a sequence
with smaller replication rate is supposed to overtakean established quasispecies of sequences with higher
replication rate.
We performed fixation experiments in both the “se-
lection for replication speed” and the “selection for
robustness” phase, in order to clarify whether the
naive approach works. In both phases, we allowed
a population of size N= 1000 to equilibrate, and
then introduced a single sequence of the supposedly
advantageous type. After 500 time steps, we deter-
mined whether the advantageous type had vanished
from the population or grown to a significant propor-
tion. By repeating this procedure 100 times, we ob-
tained an estimate for the probability of fixation. As
in the previous section, we used w1= 1 and w2= 1.1.
In Fig. 6, we compare our simulation results to the
predicted fixation probability π=s/(1 +s). Within
the accuracy of our results, both agree well. This
is particularly interesting for mutation rates above
0.02, where we introduce a sequence of lower replica-
tion rate into a background of faster replicating se-
quences. The increased neutrality of the introduced
sequence is sufficient to let it rise to fixation in a sig-
nificant proportion of cases. Moreover, the product
wiQiis the sole determinant of the fixation probabil-
ity. Whether the value of the product wiQicomes
mainly from the intrinsic growth rate wiof the se-
quences or from the effective fidelity Qidoes not have
an observable influence on the dynamics.
Discussion
The good agreement between our analytical model
and our simulation results demonstrates that RNA
sequences evolving on a neutral network of identi-
cal secondary structure folds are well described by
only two parameters, their intrinsic replication rate
wand their effective copy fidelity Q. In the partic-
ular context of two competing distinct folds, we find
furthermore that only the product of wandQis of
importance. Indeed, it follows from Eq. (10) that
the ratio between x1(t) and x2(t) depends only on
the respective products of wandQ, but not on the
individual values themselves.
Unlike the intrinsic replication rate w, which is a
property of the individual, the effective fidelity Qis a
group property, as it is given by the average over all
sequences in the population of the probability not to
“fall off” the neutral network. Thus, in the regime in
which Qdominates the evolutionary dynamics (the6
phase of selection for robustness in Fig. 3), the evo-
lutionary success of an individual sequence depends
strongly on the properties of the group it belongs to.
In other words, we find that selection acts on the
whole group of mutants, rather than on individuals,
despite the absence of standard factors supporting
group selection such as spatial subdivision of the pop-
ulation (Wilson 1979), altruistic behavior, parental
care (Maynard Smith 1993), or mutual catalytic sup-
port (Alves et al. 2001). Here, a sequence with a
comparatively high neutrality embedded into a neu-
tral network with a poor overall connection density
will be at a disadvantage with respect to a sequence
with a comparatively low neutrality that is, however,
part of a neutral network with high connection den-
sity. The overall higher fidelity of a population on
the second network results in a larger fraction of se-
quences that actually reside on the network, which
in turn increases the chance that a particular se-
quence will be generated as mutant offspring from
some other sequence. Moya et al. (2000) noted that
this type of group selection should follow from the
quasispecies equations, and that populations under
this type of selection would be best described by
an effective group replication rate r. In the present
work, we have shown that this is indeed the case, and
we can also derive r(which is simply r=wQ) from
the quasispecies equations. Namely, the fact that the
population neutrality ν(which determines Q) is given
by the largest eigenvalue of the connection matrix of
neutral genotypes is a direct consequence of the qua-
sispecies equations (van Nimwegen et al. 1999).
Schuster and Swetina (1988) were the first to point
out that at high mutation rates, the quasispecies
around the highest peak in the landscape can disap-
pear. They focused on situations in which the highest
and the second-highest peak in a landscape were of
almost equal height, while the immediate mutational
neighborhood of the second peak was less deleteri-
ous than the one of the first peak. As a consequence,
their results seemed to imply that the phase of ’selec-
tion of robustness’ was only important in the case of
very similar peaks. Our results, on the other hand,
show that the difference in peak hight can be dra-
matic, if balanced by an equally dramatic difference
in robustness.
While our analytical results apply strictly speaking
only to infinite populations, we have seen that in sim-ulations for population sizes as small as N= 500, the
differential equation approach works well. Moreover,
in our experiments on the probability of fixation, we
have seen that even very small numbers of the advan-
tageous group (in the extreme only a single sequence)
can rise to fixation, despite their intrinsic replication
rate being smaller than that of the currently dom-
inating group. This result seems somewhat unin-
tuitive at first, but can be easily understood. The
most important aspect of every fixation event is the
very first replication of the new genotype, and the
smaller its selective advantage, the more likely it is
not to replicate even once. Now, if a new mutant
with a poor replication rate wnewbut high effective
fidelity Qnewarises in a population that is dominated
by sequences with large intrinsic replication rate, we
would intuitively assume that the mutant will hardly
ever replicate even once, and therefore will never get
a chance to employ its superior fidelity. However,
this is not correct if the effective fidelity of the dom-
inating sequences, Qdom, is low. From Eq. (4), we
find that the concentration of sequences that actually
replicate is given by Qdom. Therefore, even though
the sequences that replicate do so at a high rate, the
actual number of births that occur is small, compa-
rable to the one in a population in which all individ-
uals reproduce with rate wdomQdom. Therefore, the
newly introduced genotype is relatively safe from be-
ing washed out prematurely, and fixation takes place
at the predicted rate.
Conclusions
We have demonstrated that for a population in a
landscape where neutral mutants abound, the prod-
uct of intrinsic replication rate wand effective copy-
fidelity Qis being maximized under selection, rather
than the intrinsic replication rate alone. This ob-
servation has led to the natural distinction between
two modes of selection, one in which intrinsic repli-
cation rate is favored, and one in which robustness
(high Q) is more important. In the latter phase, the
success of a single sequence depends strongly on the
mutant cloud the sequence belongs to. Our results
thus demonstrate that the unit of selection in molec-
ular evolution is indeed the quasispecies, as proposed
by Eigen and Schuster (1979), and not the individual
replicating sequence. In particular, the probability of7
fixation of a single advantageous mutant in an estab-
lished quasispecies can be predicted accurately with
results from standard population genetics, provided
we consider the overall growth rates of the established
quasispecies and the quasispecies potentially formed
by the mutant, rather than the replication rates of
mutant and established wild type.

We propose a formalism which makes the chaos to be quan-
tized. Quantum mechanical equation is derived for describi ng
the chaos for a particle moving in electromagnetic field.
Consider a particle of charge qand massmmoving
a electromagnetic field. Suppose the particle revolves
about a nucleus and runs into a chaos state. It is con-
venient to consider the bunch of its paths to be a flow
characterized by a 4-velocity field u(x1,x2,x3,x4=ict)
in a Cartesian coordinate system (in a laboratory frame
of reference). The particle will be affected by the 4-force
due to in electromagnetic interaction. According to rel-
ativistic Newton’s second law, the motion of the particle
satisfies the following governing equations
mduµ
dτ=qFµνuν (1)
uµuµ=−c2(2)
whereFµνis the 4-curl of electromagnetic vector poten-
tialA. Since the reference frame is a Cartesian coordinate
system whose axes are orthogonal to one another, there is
no distinction between covariant and contravariant com-
ponents, only subscripts need be used. Here and below,
summation over twice repeated indices is implied in all
case, Greek indices will take on the values 1,2,3,4, and
regarding the mass mas a constant. Eq.(1) and Eq.(2)
stand at every point for the particle in the field. As is
mentioned above, the 4-velocity ucan be regarded as a
4-velocity vector field, then
duµ
dτ=∂uµ
∂xν∂xν
∂τ=uν∂νuµ (3)
qFµνuν=quν(∂µAν−∂νAµ) (4)
Substituting them back into Eq.(1), and re-arranging
their terms, we obtain
uν∂ν(muµ+qAµ) =uν∂µ(qAν)
=uν∂µ(muν+qAν)−uν∂µ(muν)
=uν∂µ(muν+qAν)−1
2∂µ(muνuν)
=uν∂µ(muν+qAν)−1
2∂µ(−mc2)
=uν∂µ(muν+qAν) (5)
Using the notation
Kµν=∂µ(muν+qAν)−∂ν(muµ+qAµ) (6)Eq.(5) is given by
uνKµν= 0 (7)
BecauseKµνcontains the variables ∂µuν,∂µAν,∂νuµ
and∂νAµwhich are independent from uν, then a solution
satisfying Eq.(7) is of
Kµν= 0 (8)
∂µ(muν+qAν) =∂ν(muµ+qAµ) (9)
The above equation allows us introduce a potential func-
tion Φ in mathematics, further set Φ = −i¯hlnψ, we ob-
tain a very important equation
(muµ+qAµ)ψ=−i¯h∂µψ (10)
We think it as an extended form of the relativistic New-
ton’s second law in terms of 4-velocity field. ψrepre-
senting the wave nature may be a complex mathematical
function, its physical meanings will be determined from
experiments after the introduction of the Planck’s con-
stant ¯h.
Multiplying the two sides of the following familiar
equation by ψ
−m2c4=m2uµuµ (11)
which stands at every points in the 4-velocity field, and
using Eq.(10), we obtain
−m2c4ψ=muµ(−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)ψ
= (−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)(muµψ)−[−i¯hψ∂ µ(muµ)]
= (−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)2ψ−[−i¯hψ∂ µ(muµ)] (12)
According to the continuity condition for the particle mo-
tion
∂µ(muµ) = 0 (13)
we have
−m2c4ψ= (−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)2ψ (14)
Its is known as the Klein-Gordon equation.
On the condition of non-relativity, the Schrodinger
equation can be derived from the Klein-Gordon equation
[2](P.469).
However, we must admit that we are careless when
we use the continuity condition Eq.(13), because, from
Eq.(10) we obtain
1∂µ(muµ) =∂µ(−i¯h∂µlnψ−qAµ) =−i¯h∂µ∂µlnψ(15)
where we have used the Lorentz gauge condition. Thus
from Eq.(11) to Eq.(12) we obtain
−m2c4ψ= (−i¯h∂µ−qAµ)2ψ+ ¯h2ψ∂µ∂µlnψ(16)
This is of a perfect wave equation for describing accu-
rately the motion of the particle. In other wards, The
Klein-Gordon equation is ill for using the mistaken con-
tinuity condition Eq.(13). Comparing with the Dirac
equation result, we find that the last term of Eq.(16)
corresponds to the spin effect of particle. In the follow-
ing we shall show the Dirac equation from Eq.(10) and
Eq.(11).
In general, there are many wave functions which satisfy
Eq.(10) for the particle, these functions and correspond-
ing momentum components are denoted by ψ(j)and
Pµ(j) =muµ(j), respectively, where j= 1,2,3,...,N,
then Eq.(11) can be given by
0 =Pµ(j)Pµ(j)ψ2(j) +m2c4ψ2(j)
=δµνPµ(j)ψ(j)Pν(j)ψ(j) +mc2ψ(j)mc2ψ(j)
= (δµν+δνµ)Pµ(j)ψ(j)Pν(j)ψ(j)(µ≥ν)
+mc2ψ(j)mc2ψ(j)
= 2δµνPµ(j)ψ(j)Pν(j)ψ(j)(µ≥ν)
+mc2ψ(j)mc2ψ(j)
= 2δµνδjkδjlPµ(k)ψ(k)Pν(l)ψ(l)(µ≥ν)
+δjkδjlmc2ψ(k)mc2ψ(l) (17)
whereδis the Kronecker delta function, j,k,l =
1,2,3,...,N . Here, specially, we do not take jsum over;
Prepresents momentum, not operator. Suppose there
are two matrices aandbwhich satisfy
aµjkaνjl+aνjkaµjl= 2δµνδjkδjl (18)
aµjkbjl+bjkaµjl= 0 (19)
bjkbjl=δjkδjl (20)
then Eq.(17) can be rewritten as
0 = (aµjkaνjl+aνjkaµjl)Pµ(k)ψ(k)Pν(l)ψ(l)(µ≥ν)
+(aµjkbjl+bjkaµjl)Pµ(k)ψ(k)mc2ψ(l)
+bjkbjlmc2ψ(k)mc2ψ(l)
= [aµjkPµ(k)ψ(k) +bjkmc2ψ(k)]
·[aνjlPν(l)ψ(l) +bjlmc2ψ(l)]
= [aµjkPµ(k)ψ(k) +bjkmc2ψ(k)]2(21)
Consequently, we obtain a wave equation:
aµjkPµ(k)ψ(k) +bjkmc2ψ(k) = 0 (22)
There are many solutions for aandbwhich satisfy
Eq.(18-20), we select a familiar set of aandbas [2]:N= 4 (23)
an= [anµν] =/bracketleftbigg

whereαnare the Pauli spin matrices, n= 1,2,3. Sub-
stituting them into Eq.(22), we obtain
[(−i¯h∂4−qA4) +αn(−i¯h∂n−qAn) +βmc2]ψ= 0 (27)
whereψis an one-column matrix about ψ(k). Eq.(27) is
known as the Dirac equation.
Of course, on the condition of non-relativity, the
Schrodinger equation can be derived from the Dirac equa-
tion [2](P.479).
It is noted that Eq.(27), Eq.(22), Eq.(17) and Eq.(16)
are equivalent despite they have the different forms, be-
cause they all originate from Eq.(10) and Eq.(11).
It follows from Eq.(10) that the path of a particle is
analogous to ”lines of electric force” in 4-dimensional
space-time. In the case that the Klein-Gordon equation
stands, i.e. Eq.(13) stands, at any point, the path can
have but one direction (i.e. the local 4-velocity direction ),
hence only one path can pass through each point of the
space-time. In other words, the path never intersects it-
self when it winds up itself into a cell about a nucleus.
No path originates or terminates in the space-time. But,
in general, the divergence of the 4-velocity field does not
equal to zero, as indicated in Eq.(15), so the Dirac equa-
tion would be better than the Klein-Gordon equation in
accuracy.
The condition of the appearance of spin structure for
the chaos is that Eq.(15) is un-negligeable. The mecha-
nism profoundly accounts for the quantum wave natures
such as spin effect [4] [5]. Its interpretation in physical
terms remains to be discussed further in the future.
In conclusion, in terms of the 4-velocity field, the rela-
tivistic Newton’s second law can be rewritten as a wave
field equation. By this discovery, the Klein-Gordon equa-
tion, Schrodinger equation and Dirac equation can be
derived from the Newtonian mechanics on different con-
ditions, respectively. Quantum mechanical equation is
dominant in describing chaos for a particle moving in
electromagnetic field.

Abstract
In some recent theories including Quantum SuperString theo ry we
encounter duality - it arises due to a non commutative geomet ry which
in effect adds an extra term to the Heiserberg Uncertainity Pr inciple.
The result is that the micro world and the macro universe seem to be
linked. We show why this is so in the context of a recent cosmol ogical
model and a physical picture emerges in the context of the Fey nman-
Wheeler formulation of interactions.
1 Introduction
Nearly a century ago several Physicists including Lorentz, Poincare and
Abraham amongst others tackled unsuccessfully the problem of the extended
electron[1, 2]. An extended electron appeared to contradic t Special Relativ-
ity, while on the other hand, the limit of a point particle lea d to inexplicable
infinities. Dirac finally formulated an equation in which the physically rele-
vant or ”renormalized” mass was finite and consisted of the ba re mass and
the electromagnetic mass which become infinite in the limit o f point parti-
cles, no doubt, but the infinities cancel one another. This ap proach lead to
non-causal effects, which were circumvented by a formalism o f Feynam and
Wheeler, in which the interaction of a charge with the rest of the universe
was considered, and also not just the point charge, but its ne ighbourhood
had to be taken into account.
These infinities persisted for many decades. Infact the Heis enberg Uncertain-
ity Principle straightaway leads to infinities in the limit o f spacetime points.
It was only through the artifice of renormalization that ’t Ho oft could finally
1circumvent this vexing problem, in the 1970s.
Nevertheless it has been realized that the concept of spacet ime points is only
approximate[3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. We are beginning to realize that i t may be more
meaningful to speak in terms of spacetime foam, strings, bra nes, non com-
mutative geometry, fuzzy spacetime and so on[8]. This is wha t we will now
discuss.
2 Duality
We consider the well known theory of Quantum SuperStrings an d also an ap-
proach in which an electron is considered to be a Kerr-Newman Black Hole,
with the additional input of fuzzy spacetime.
As is well known, String Theory originated from phenomenolo gical consider-
ations in the late sixties through the pioneering work of Ven eziano, Nambu
and others to explain features like the s-t channel dual reso nance scattering
and Regge trajectories[9]. Originally strings were concei ved as one dimen-
sional objects with an extension of the order of the Compton w avelength,
which would fudge the point vertices of the s-t channel scatt ering graphs, so
that both would effectively correspond to one another (Cf.re f.[9]).
The above strings are really Bosonic strings. Raimond[10], Scherk[11] and
others laid the foundation for the theory of Fermionic strin gs. Essentially
the relativistic Quantized String is given a rotation, when we get back the
equation for Regge trajectories,
J≤(2πT)−1M2+a0¯hwith a0= +1(+2)for the open (closed) string (1)
When a0= 1 in (1) we have gauge Bosons while a0= 2 describes the gravi-
tons. In the full theory of Quantum Super Strings, or QSS, we a re essentially
dealing with extended objects rotating with the velocity of light, rather like
spinning black holes. The spatial extention is at the Planck scale while fea-
tures like extra space time dimensions which are curled up in the Kaluza
Klein sense and, as we will see, non commutative geometry app ear[12, 13].
We next observe that it is well known that the Kerr Newman of ch arged
spinning Black Hole itself mimics the electron remarkably w ell including the
purely Quantum Mechanical anomalous g= 2 factor[14]. The problem is
that there would be a naked singularity, that is the radius wo uld become
2complex,
r+=GM
c2+ıb, b≡/parenleftBiggG2Q2
c8+a2−G2M2
c4/parenrightBigg1/2
(2)
where ais the angular momentum per unit mass.
This problem has been studied in detail by the author in recen t years[15, 16].
Indeed it is quite remarkable that the position coordinate o f an electron in
the Dirac theory is non Hermitian and mimics equation (2), be ing given by
x= (c2p1H−1t+a1) +ı
2c¯h(α1−cp1H−1)H−1, (3)
where the imaginary parts of (2) and (3) are both of the order o f the Comp-
ton wavelength.
The key to understanding the unacceptable imaginary part wa s given by
Dirac himself[17], in terms of zitterbewegung. The point is that according
to the Heisenberg Uncertainity Principle, space time point s themselves are
not meaningful- only space time intervals have meaning, and we are really
speaking of averages over such intervals, which are atleast of the order of the
Compton scale. Once this is kept in mind, the imaginary term d isappears
on averaging over the Compton scale.
In this formulation, the mass and charge of the electron aris es due to zitter-
bewegung effects at the Compton scale[15, 16]. These masses a nd charges are
renormalized in the sense of the Dirac mass in the classical t heory, alluded
to in section 1.
Indeed, from a classical point of view also, in the extreme re lativistic case, as
is well known there is an extension of the order of the Compton wavelength,
within which we encounter meaningless negative energies[1 8]. With this pro-
viso, it has been shown that we could think of an electron as a s pinning Kerr
Newman Black Hole. This has received independent support fr om the work
of Nottale[19].
We are thus lead to the picture where there is a cut off in space t ime inter-
vals.
In the above two scenarios, the cut off is at the Compton scale ( l, τ) the
Planck scale being a special case for the Planck mass. Such di screte space
time models compatible with Special Relativity have been st udied for a long
time by Snyder and several other scholars[20, 21, 22]. In thi s case it is well
known that we have the following non commutative geometry
[x, y] = (ıa2/¯h)Lz,[t, x] = (ıa2/¯hc)Mx,
3[y, z] = (ıa2/¯h)Lx,[t, y] = (ıa2/¯hc)My, (4)
[z, x] = (ıa2/¯h)Ly,[t, z] = (ıa2/¯hc)Mz,
where ais the minimum natural unit and Lx, Mxetc. have their usual sig-
nificance.
Moreover in this case there is also a correction to the usual Q uantum Me-
chanical commutation relations, which are now given by
[x, px] =ı¯h[1 + (a/¯h)2p2
x];
[t, pt] =ı¯h[1−(a/¯hc)2p2
t];
[x, py] = [y, px] =ı¯h(a/¯h)2pxpy; (5)
[x, pt] =c2[px,t] =ı¯h(a/¯h)2pxpt; etc.
where pµdenotes the four momentum.
In the Kerr Newman model for the electron alluded to above (or generally
for a spinning sphere of spin ∼¯hand of radius l),Lxetc. reduce to the spin
¯h
2of a Fermion and the commutation relations (4) and (5) reduce to
[x, y]≈0(l2),[x, px] =ı¯h[1 +βl2],[t, E] =ı¯h[1 +τ2] (6)
where β= (px/¯h)2and similar equations.
Interestingly the non commutative geometry given in (6) can be shown to
lead to the representation of Dirac matrices and the Dirac eq uation[23]. From
here we can get the Klein Gordon equation, as is well known[24 , 25], or al-
ternatively we deduce the massless string equation.
This is also the case with superstrings where Dirac spinors a re introduced,
as indicated above. Infact in QSS also we have equations math ematically
identical to the relations (6) containing momenta (Cf.ref. [13]). This, which
implies (4), can now be seen to be the origin of non-commutati vity.
The non commutative geometry and fuzzyness is contained in ( 6). Infact
fuzzy spaces have been investigated in detail by Madore and o thers[26, 27],
and we are lead back to the equation (6). The fuzzyness which i s closely
tied up with the non commutative feature is symptomatic of th e breakdown
of the concept of the spacetime points and point particles at small scales
or high energies. As has been noted by Snyder, Witten, and sev eral other
scholars, the divergences encountered in Quantum Field The ory are symp-
tomatic of precisely such an extrapolation to spacetime poi nts and which
4necessitates devices like renormalization. As Witten poin ts out[28], ”in de-
veloping relativity, Einstein assumed that the space time c oordinates were
Bosonic; Fermions had not yet been discovered!... The struc ture of space
time is enriched by Fermionic as well as Bosonic coordinates .”
A related concept, which one encounters also in String Theor y is Duality.
Infact the relation (6) leads to,
∆x∼¯h
∆p+α′∆p
¯h(7)
where α′=l2, which in Quantum SuperStrings Theory ∼10−66. Witten has
wondered about the basis of (7), but as we have seen, it is a con sequence of
(6).
This is an expression of the duality relation,
R→α′/R
This is symptomatic of the fact that we cannot go down to arbit rarily small
spacetime intervals, below the Planck scale.
There is an interesting meaning to the duality relation aris ing from (7) in
the context of the Kerr-Newman Black Hole formulation. Whil e it appears
that the ultra small is a gateway to the macro cosmos, we could look at it in
the following manner. The first term of the relation (7) which is the usual
Heisenberg Uncertainity relation is supplemented by the se cond term which
refers to the macro cosmos.
Let us consider the second term in (7). We write ∆ p= ∆Nmc, where ∆ Nis
the Uncertainity in the number of particles, N, in the universe. Also ∆ x=R,
the radius of the universe where
R∼√
Nl, (8)
the famous Eddington relationship. It should be stressed th at the otherwise
emperical Eddington formula, arises quite naturally in a Br ownian charac-
terisation of the universe as has been pointed out earlier (C f. for example
ref.[5]). Put simply (8) in the Random Walk equation
We now get, using (2),
∆N=√
N
5Substituting this in the time analogue of the second term of ( 7), we immedi-
ately get, Tbeing the age of the universe,
T=√
Nτ (9)
In the above analysis, including the Eddington formula (8), landτare the
Compton wavelength and Compton time of a typical elementary particle,
namely the pion. The equation for the age of the universe is al so correctly
given above. Infact in the closely related model of fluctuati onal cosmology
(Cf. for example ref.[29]) all of the Dirac large number coin cidences as also
the mysterious Weinberg formula relating the mass of the pio n to the Hubble
constant, follow as a consequence, and are not emperical. In this formulation,
in a nutshell,√
Nparticles are fluctuationally created within the time τ, so
that,
dN
dt=√

τ(10)
which leads to (9) (and (8)).
Next use of the well known formula, ( M=Nm, M being the mass of the
universe, and mthe pion mass)
R≈GM/c2,
gives on differentiation and use of (10) the Hubble law, with
H=c
l1√
N≈Gm3c
¯horm=/parenleftBigg¯hH
Gc/parenrightBigg1/3
(11)
(11) gives the supposedly mysterious and empirical Weinber g formula con-
necting the pion mass to the Hubble constant.
Using (11) we can deduce that there can be a cosmological cons tant Λ such
that,
Λ≤0(H2)
Recent observations confirm this ever expanding and possibl y accelerating
feature of the universe[30]. All these relations relating l arge scale parameters
to microphysical constants were shown to be symptomatic of w hat has been
called, stochastic holism (Cf. also ref.[31]), that is a mic ro-macro connection
with a Brownian or stochastic underpinning. Duality, or equ ivalently, rela-
tion (7) is really an expression of this micro-macro link.
63 The Dirac and Feynman - Wheeler Formu-
lations
To appreciate this concept of holism in a more physical sense , we return to
the classical description of the electron alluded to right a t the beginning. We
will discuss very briefly the contributions of Dirac, Feynma n and Wheeler.
This was built upon the earlier work of Lorentz, Abraham, Fok ker and others.
Our starting point is the so called Lorentz-Dirac equation[ 2]:
maµ=Fµ
in+Fµ
ext+ Γµ(12)
where
Fµ
in=e
cFµv
invv
and Γµis the Abraham radiation reaction four vector related to the self force
and, given by
Γµ=2
3e2
c3(˙aµ−1
c2aλaλvµ) (13)
Equation (12) is the relativistic generalisation for a poin t electron of an
earlier equation proposed by Lorentz, while equation (13) i s the relativisitic
generalisation of the original radiation reaction term due to energy loss by
radiation. It must be mentioned that the mass min equation (12) consists of
a neutral mass and the original electromagnetic mass of Lore ntz, which latter
does tend to infinity as the electron shrinks to a point, but, t his is absorbed
into the neutral mass. Thus we have the forerunner of renorma lisation in
quantum theory.
There are three unsatisfactory features of the Lorentz-Dir ac equation (12).
Firstly the third derivative of the position coordinate in ( 12) through Γµgives
a whole family of solutions. Except one, the rest of the solut ions are run away
- that is the velocity of the electron increases with time to t he velocity of
light, even in the absence of any forces. This energy can be th ought to come
from the infinite self energy we get when the size of the electr on shrinks to
zero. If we assume adhoc an asymptotically vanishing accele ration then we
get a physically meaningful solution, though this leads to a second difficulty,
that of violation of causality of even the physically meanin gful solutions. Let
us see this briefly.
7For this, we notice that equation (12) can be written in the fo rm[2],
maµ(τ) =/integraldisplay∞
0Kµ(τ+ατ0)e−αdα (14)
where
Kµ(τ) =Fµ
in+Fµ
ext−1
c2Rvµ,
τ0≡2
3e2
mc3(15)
and
α=τ′−τ
τ0,
where τdenotes the time and Ris the total radiation rate.
It can be seen that equation (14) differs from the usual equati on of Newtonian
Mechanics, in that it is non local in time. That is, the accele ration aµ(τ)
depends on the force not only at time τ, but at subsequent times also. Let
us now try to characterise this non locality in time. We obser ve that τ0given
by equation (15) is the Compton time ∼10−23secs.So equation (14) can be
approximated by
maµ(τ) =Kµ(τ+ξτ0)≈Kµ(τ) (16)
Thus as can be seen from (16), the Lorentz-Dirac equation diff ers from the
usual local theory by a term of the order of
2
3e2
c3˙aµ(17)
the so called Schott term.
So, the non locality in time is within intervals ∼τ0, the Compton time ex-
actly what we encountered in section 2.
It must also be reiterated that the Lorentz-Dirac equation m ust be supple-
mented by the asymptotic condition of vanishing accelerati on in order to be
meaningful. That is, we have to invoke not just the point elec tron, but also
distant regions into the future as boundary conditions.
Finally it must be borne in mind that the four vector Γµgiven in (13) can
also be written as
Γµ≡e
2c(Fµv
ret−Fµv
adv)vv (18)
8In (18) we can see the presence of the advanced or acausal field which has
been considered unsatisfactory. Infact this term, as is wel l known directly
leads to the Schott term (17). Let us examine this non local fe ature. As
is known, considering the time component of the Schott term ( 17) we get
(cf.ref.[2])
−dE
dt≈R≈2
3e2c
r2(E
mc2)4,
where Eis the energy of the particle.
whence intergrating over the period of non locality ∼τ0we can immediately
deduce that r, the dimension of spatial non locality is given by
r∼cτ0,
that is of the order of the Compton wavelength. This follows i n any case in a
relativistic theory, given the above Compton time. This ter m represents the
effects within the neighbourhood of the charge.
What we have done is that we have quantified the space-time int erval of
non locality - it is of the order of the Compton wavelength and time. This
contains the renormalization effect and gives the correct ph ysical mass.
We now come to the Feynman-Wheeler action at a distance theor y[32, 33].
They showed that the apparent acausality of the theory would disappear if
the interaction of a charge with all other charges in the univ erse, such that
the remaining charges would absorb all local electromagnet ic influences was
considered. The rationale behind this was that in an action a t a distance
context, the motion of a charge would instantaneously affect other charges,
whose motion in turn would instantaneously affect the origin al charge. Thus
considering a small interval in the neighbourhood of the poi nt charge, they
deduced,
Fµ
ret=1
2{Fµ
ret+Fµ
adv}+1
2{Fµ

The left side of (19) is the usual causal field, while the right side has two
terms. The first of these is the time symmetric field while the s econd can
easily be identified with the Dirac field above and represents the sum of
the responses of the remaining charges calculated in the vic inity of the said
charge.
From this point of view, the self force or in the earlier Kerr- Newman for-
mulation, effects within the Compton scale, turns out to be th e combined
9reaction of the rest of the charges, or in the earlier duality and cosmological
considerations, the holistic effect.
4 Duality and Scale
In a previous communication[34] it was shown that we could co nsider a scaled
Planck constant
h1≈N3/2¯h
such that we would have
R=h1
Mc
It is interesting to note that these relations are essential ly the same as the
second or extra term in (7) viz.,
l2∆p
¯h∼∆x
with ∆ p=√
Nmand ∆ x=Ras before. This can be easily verified.
In other words the two terms of the modified Heisenberg Uncert ainity relation
(7) represents two scales. The first term represents the micr o scale with the
Planck constant, while the second term represents the macro scale with the
scaled Planck constant h1, both being linked, as noted earlier.

I. INTRODUCTION
It is tempting to expect that kinetic equations and
their numerical simulation provide a fair description of
the time evolution of systems with long-range or ‘global’
interactions. A typical, fundamental example is offered
by wave-particle interactions, which play a central role
in plasmas. In this Letter we test this opinion explicitly.
Collisionless plasma dynamics is dominated by collec-
tive processes. Langmuir waves and their familiar Lan-
dau damping and growth [1] are a good example of these
processes, with many applications, e.g. plasma heating
in fusion devices and laser-plasma interactions. For sim-
plicity we focus on the one-dimensional electrostatic case ,
traditionally described by the (kinetic) coupled set of
Vlasov-Poisson equations [2,3]. The current debate on
the long-time evolution of this system shows that further
insight in this fundamental process is still needed [4].
The driving process (induced by the binary Coulomb
interaction between particles) is the interaction of the
electrostatic waves in the plasma with the particles at
nearly resonant velocities, which one analyses canonicall y
by partitioning the plasma in bulk and tail particles.Langmuir modes are the collective oscillations of bulk
particles, with slowly varying complex amplitudes in an
envelope representation ; their interaction with tail par-
ticles is described by a self-consistent set of hamiltonian
equations [5]. These equations already provided an effi-
cient basis [6] for investigating the cold beam plasma in-
stability and exploring the nonlinear regime of the bump-
on-tail instability [7]. Analytically, they were used to gi ve
an intuitive and rigorous derivation of spontaneous emis-
sion and Landau damping of Langmuir waves [8]. Be-
sides, as it eliminates the rapid plasma oscillation scale
ω−1
p, this self-consistent model offers a genuine tool to
investigate long-time dynamics.
As we follow the motion of each particle, we can also
address the influence of the finite number of particles in
the long run. This question is discarded in the kinetic
Vlasov-Poisson description, for which the finite- Ncor-
rection is the Balescu-Lenard equation [9] formally de-
rived from the accumulation of weak binary collisions,
with small change of particle momenta. It implies a dif-
fusion of momenta, driving the plasma towards equilib-
rium. However, when wave-particle coupling is domi-
nant, the Balescu-Lenard equation is not a straightfor-
ward approach to finite- Neffects on the wave evolution.
Here we investigate direct finite- Neffects on the self-
consistent wave-particle dynamics. It is proved [10] that
the kinetic limit N→ ∞ commutes with evolution over
arbitrary times. As one might argue that finite Nbe
analogous to numerical discretisation in solving kinetic
equations, we also integrate the kinetic system with a
‘noise-free’ semi-lagrangian solver [11]. In this Letter w e
compare finite grid effects of the kinetic solver and gran-
ular aspects of the N-particles system, whose evolution
is computed with a symplectic scheme [7].
We discuss the case of one wave interacting with the
particles. Though a broad spectrum of unstable waves is
generally excited when tail particles form a warm beam,
the single-wave situation can be realized experimentally
[12] and allows to leave aside the difficult problem of
mode coupling mediated by resonant particles [13].
1II. SELF-CONSISTENT WAVE-PARTICLE
MODEL AND KINETIC MODEL
Consider a one-dimensional electrostatic potential per-
turbation Φ( z, τ) = [φk(τ)expi(kz−ωkτ) + c.c.] (where
c.c. denotes complex conjugate), with complex enve-
lopeφk, in a plasma of length Lwith periodic boundary
conditions (and neutralizing background). Wavenum-
berkand frequency ωksatisfy a dispersion relation
ǫ(k, ωk) = 0. The density of N(quasi-)resonant elec-
trons is σ(z, τ) = (nL/N )/summationtextN
l=1δ(z−zl(τ)), where nis
the electron number density and zlis the position at time
τof electron labeled l(with charge eand mass m). Non-
resonant electrons contribute only through the dielectric
function ǫ, so that φkand the zl’s obey coupled equations
[14]

andV= (ek2φk)/(α2m), this system defines the self-

for the coupled evolution of electrons and wave in di-

tonian H(x,p, ζ, ζ∗) =/summationtextN
l=1(p2
l/2−N−1/2ζeixl−
N−1/2ζ∗e−ixl), where a star means a complex conju-
gate and ζ=N1/2V. An efficient symplectic integration
scheme is used to study this hamiltonian numerically [7].
The system (3)-(4) is invariant under two continuous
groups of symmetries. Invariance under time translations
implies the conservation of the energy H=H. The phase
θofζ=|ζ|e−iθplays the role of a position for the wave,
and system (3)-(4) is also invariant under translations
θ′=θ+a,x′
l=xl+a. This translation invariance leads
to the conservation of momentum P=/summationtext
lpl+|ζ|2, where
the contribution from the wave is analogous to the Poynt-
ing vector of electromagnetic waves (which is quadratic
in the electromagnetic fields) [16]. Conservation of these
invariants constrains the evolution of our system, and we
checked that the numerical integration preserves them.
In the kinetic limit N→ ∞, electrons are distributed
with a density f(x, p, t), and system (3)-(4) yields the
Vlasov-wave system
˙V=i/integraldisplay
e−ixf(x, p, t)dxdp (5)
∂tf+p∂xf+ (iV eix−iV∗e−ix)∂pf= 0 (6)For initial data approaching a smooth function fas
N→ ∞, the solutions of (3)-(4) converge to those of
the Vlasov-wave system over any finite time interval [10].
This kinetic model is integrated numerically by a semi-
lagrangian solver, covering ( x, p) space with a rectangular
mesh : the function f(interpolated by cubic splines) is
transported along the characteristic lines of the kinetic
equation, i.e. along trajectories of the original particle s
[11].
Let us first study linear instabilities. One solution of
(3)-(4) corresponds to vanishing field V0= 0, with par-
ticles evenly distributed on a finite set of beams with
given velocities. Small perturbations of this solution hav e
δV=δV0eγt, with rate γsolving [8]
γ=γr+iγi=iN−1N/summationdisplay
l=1(γ+ipl)−2. (7)
For a monokinetic beam with velocity U, (7) reads γ(γ+
iU)2=i; the most unstable solution occurs for U= 0
(with γ= (√
3 +i)/2). For a warm beam with smooth
initial distribution f(p) (normalized to/integraltext
fdp= 1), the
continuous limit of (7) yields γ=i/integraltext
(γ+ip)−2f(p)dp.
For a sufficiently broad distribution ( |f′(0)| ≪1), we
obtain |γr|γr=γrπf′(−γi), where f′=d f/dp, and
γi≈πγrf′′(0) for |f′′(0)| ≪π−1. Except for the triv-
ial solution γr= 0, other solutions can only exist for
a positive slope f′(0). Then the perturbation is unsta-
ble as the evolution of δVis controlled by the eigen-
value γwith positive real part, i.e. with growth rate
γr≈γL=πf′(0)>0. Negative slope leads to the lin-
ear Landau damping paradox : the observed decay rate
γL=πf′(0)<0 is not associated to genuine eigenvalues,
but to phase mixing of eigenmodes [8,17,18], as a direct
consequence of the hamiltonian nature of the dynamics.
Now, this linear analysis generally fails to give the large
time behavior. This is obvious for the unstable case as
non-linear effects are no longer negligible when the wave
intensity grows so that the trapping frequency ωb(t) =/radicalbig
2|V(t)|becomes of the order of the linear rate γr.
We used the monokinetic case as a testbed [18,19].
Finite- Nsimulations show that the unstable solution
grows as predicted and saturates to a limit-cycle-like be-
havior where the trapping frequency ωb(t) oscillates be-
tween 1 .2γrand 2 γr. In this regime, some of the ini-
tially monokinetic particles have been scattered rather
uniformly over the chaotic domain, in and around the
pulsating resonance, while others form a trapped bunch
inside this resonance (away from the separatrix) [19].
This dynamics is quite well described by effective hamil-
tonians with few degrees of freedom [18,20].
In this Letter, we discuss the large time behavior of the
warm beam case, with f′(p0)/negationslash= 0 at the wave nominal
velocity p0= 0. Fig. 1 displays three distribution func-
tions (in dimensionless form) with similar velocity width :
(i)a function (CD) giving the same decay rate for all
2phase velocities, (ii)a function (CG) giving a constant
growth rate for all phase velocities [7], (iii)a truncated
Lorentzian (TL) with positive slope f′(0)>0.
III. DAMPING CASE
For the damping case, the linear description introduces
time secularities which ultimately may break linear the-
ory down : the ultimate evolution is intrinsically nonlin-
ear, not only if the initial field amplitude is large, as in
O’Neil’s seminal picture [2], but also if one considers the
evolution over time scales of the order of the trapping
time (which is large for small initial wave amplitude).
The question of the plasma wave long-time fate is thus
far from trivial [4]. Though some simulations [21] infer
that nonlinear waves eventually approach a Bernstein-
Greene-Kruskal steady state [22] instead of Landau van-
ishing field, the answer should rather strongly depend on
initial conditions. Our N-particle, 1-wave system is the
simplest model to test these ideas.
A thermodynamical analysis [17] predicts that, for a
warm beam and small enough initial wave amplitude,
ωb∼N−1/2at equilibrium in the limit N→ ∞. Fig. 2
shows the evolution of a small amplitude wave launched
in the beam. The N-particle system (line N) and the
kinetic system (line V) initially damp the wave exponen-
tially as predicted by perturbation theory [8], for a time
of the order of |γL|−1.
After that phase-mixing time, trapping induces non-
linear evolution and both systems evolve differently. For
theN-particle system, the wave grows to a thermal level
that scales as N−1/2, corresponding to a balance be-
tween damping and spontaneous emission [8,17]. For
the kinetic system, initial Landau damping is followed
by slowly damped trapping oscillations around a mean
value which also decays to zero, at a rate decreasing for
refined mesh size. Fig. 2 reveals that finite- Nand kinetic
behaviors can considerably diverge as spontaneous emis-
sion is taken into account. The time τNafter which the
finite- Neffects force this divergence is found to diverge
asN→ ∞.
IV. UNSTABLE CASE
Now consider an unstable warm beam ( f′(0)>0).
Line N1 (resp. N2) of Fig. 3 displays ln( ωb(t)/γr) versus
time for (3)-(4) with a CG distribution with N= 128000
(resp. 512000) and γr= 0.08. Line V1 (resp. V2) shows
ln(ωb(t)/γr) versus γrtfor the kinetic system and the
same initial distribution with a 32 ×128 (resp. 256 ×1024)
grid in ( x, p) space. All four lines exhibit the same initial
exponential growth of linear theory with less than 1% er-
ror on the growth rate. Saturation occurs for ωb/γr≈3.1
[3]. Lines N1 and V1 do not superpose beyond the firsttrapping oscillation after saturation. Note that, in our
system, oscillating saturation does not excite sideband
Langmuir waves as our hamiltonian incorporates only a
single wave, not a spectrum.
After the first trapping oscillation, kinetic simulations
exhibit a second growth at a rate controlled by mesh size.
Line V2 suggests that a kinetic approach would predict
a level close to the trapping saturation level on a time
scale awarded by reasonable integration time. This level
is fairly below the equilibrium Vthpredicted by a gibbsian
approach [17] ; such pathological relaxation properties
in the N→ ∞ limit seem common to mean-field long-
range models [23]. Both kinetic simulations also exhibit
a strong damping of trapping oscillations, which disap-
pear after a few oscillations, whereas finite- Nsimulations
show persistent trapping oscillations.
One could expect that finite- Neffects would mainly
damp these oscillations, so that the wave amplitude
reaches a plateau. Actually, we observe persistent os-
cillations for all N, and the wave amplitude slowly grows
further, whereas the velocity distribution function flat-
tens over wider intervals of velocity.
This spreading of particles is due to separatrix cross-
ings, i.e. successive trapping and detrapping by the wave
[19]. Indeed, when the wave amplitude grows (during
its pulsation), it captures particles with nearby veloc-
ity, i.e. with a relative velocity ∆ vin≈ ±/radicalbig
8|V|; the
trapped particles start bouncing in the wave potential
well. When the wave amplitude decreases, particles are
released, but if they experienced only half a bouncing
period, they are released with a relative velocity (with
respect to the wave) opposite to their initial one, i.e.
∆vout≈ −∆vin. Now notice that a particle which has
just been trapped would oscillate at a longer period than
the nominal bouncing period (namely the one deep in
the potential). Moreover, if the recently trapped particle
had just adiabatic motion in the well, it would have to
recross the separatrix when the resonance would enclose
the same area as at its trapping [24]. Thus one expects
the particle to be unable to complete a full bounce, and
the fraction of particles for which ∆ vout≈ −∆vinis sig-
nificant.
During this particle spreading process in ( x, p) space,
the wave pulsation is maintained by the bunch of parti-
cles which were initially trapped, and are deep enough in
the potential well to remain trapped over a whole bounc-
ing period. These particles form a macroparticle, as is
best seen in the case of a cold beam [20]. Note that, over
long times, the macroparticle must slowly spread in the
wave resonance, following two processes. One acts if the
trapped particle motion is regular : the trapped motions
are anisochronous, i.e. have different periods (only the
harmonic oscillator has isochronous oscillations). The
other one works if the motion is chaotic : nearby trajec-
tories diverge due to chaos. Both processes contribute to
the smoothing of the particle distribution for long times,
3but over much longer times than those over which we
follow the system evolution and observe the wave modu-
lation.
This second growth after the first trapping saturation
depends on the shape of the initial distribution function.
In Fig. 3(b), line N2 is the same as in Fig. 3(a), com-
puted over a longer duration, and line N3 corresponds to
N= 64000 with the TL distribution of Fig. 1. Although
N3 corresponds to 8 times fewer particles than N2, the
final level reached at the end of the simulation is lower.
In the second growth, particles are transported further
in velocity, so that the plateau in f(p) broadens with
time. As the wave grows, it can trap particles with ini-
tial velocity further away from its phase velocity. Since
the TL distribution reaches its maximum at v≈1.06 and
decreases significantly beyond this velocity (while CG is
still growing for larger v), fewer particles (with TL than
with CG) can give momentum to the wave when being
trapped ( Pis conserved) ; hence the second growth is
slower for the TL distribution.
We followed the evolution of the wave amplitude for N3
up to γrt= 1750 : starting from the first trapping sat-
uration level (0 .4Vth), fluctuations persist with a growth
rate that slowly decreases as we reach 0 .78Vthat the end
of the computation. Line N4 of Fig. 3 corresponds to the
TL distribution with 2048000 particles and shows persis-
tent oscillations with approximately the same amplitude
as for N= 64000.
V. CONCLUSION
These observations clearly indicate that the kinetic
models are an idealization and do not contain all the
intricate behavior of a discrete particles system. Now,
we must also admit that the kinetic simulation schemes
do not exactly reproduce the analytic implications of the
kinetic equation. It is then legitimate to ask whether the
numerical implementation of the kinetic equations repro-
duce the difference between the finite- Ndynamics and
the kinetic theory.
A basic property of the collisionless kinetic equation is
that it transports the distribution function f(x, p) along
the particle trajectories (or characteristic lines in ( x, p)
space). As long as the kinetic calculation of fis accu-
rate, one expects the kinetic scheme to follow closely the
N-particle dynamics too. However, the kinetic scheme
is bound to depart from the analytic predictions of the
kinetic equation, because the (chaotic or anisochronous)
separation of particle trajectories implies that constant -
fcontours eventually evolve into complex, interleaved
shapes. This filamentation is smoothed by numerical par-
tial differential equation integrators, while N-body dy-
namics follows the particles more realistically, sustaini ng
the trapping oscillations. Hence both types of dynamicswill depart from each other when filamentation reaches
scales below the semi-lagrangian kinetic code grid mesh.
The onset of filamentation is easily evidenced in kinetic
simulations. Indeed, whereas the kinetic equation analyt-
ically preserves the 2-entropy/integraltext(1−f)fdxdp , numerical
schemes increase entropy significantly when constant- f
contours form filaments in ( x, p)-space [25]. As this is
also the time at which trapping oscillations are found to
damp in our simulations, it appears that vlasovian sim-
ulations must be considered with caution from that time
on – and it turns out that it is also the time from which
the second growth starts.
In summary, discussing the basic propagation of a sin-
gle electrostatic wave in a warm plasma, we presented
finite- Neffects which do not merely result from nu-
merical errors and elude a kinetic simulation approach.
Their understanding depends crucially on the dynamics
in phase space. The sensitive dependence of microscopic
evolution to the fine structure of the initial particle dis-
tribution in phase space [18] implies that the interplay
between limits t→ ∞ andN→ ∞ requires some cau-
tion. Somewhat paradoxically, refining the grid for the
Vlasov simulations does not solve this problem.
The driving process in the system evolution is sepa-
ratrix crossing, which requires a geometric approach to
the system dynamics. Further work in this direction [26]
will also shed new light on the foundations of common
approximations, such as replacing original dynamics (1)-
(2) by coupled stochastic equations, in which particles
undergo noisy transport.

Abstract
We present an original design for large area gaseous detecto rs based on the MICROMEGAS technology. This tech-
nology incorporates an insulating grid, sandwiched betwee n the micro-mesh and the anode-pad plane, which provides
an uniform 200 µm amplification gap. The uniformity of the amplification gap t hickness has been verified. The gain
performances of the detector are presented and compared to t he values obtained with detectors using cylindrical micro
spacers. The new design presents several technical and finan cial advantages.
Particle detectors based on the MICROMEGAS technology [1–8 ] consist of a parallel-plate gas-chamber split into
two asymmetric stages by an intermediate electrode made out of a micro-mesh. By applying appropriate voltages
between the three electrodes, a very high electric field ( ∼30 kV/cm) in the thinnest stage (the “amplification gap”) and
a low electric field (3 kV/cm) in the thicker stage (the “drift ” or “conversion gap”) can be simultaneously established.
When a charged particle traverses the conversion gap, it gen erates primary electrons which are subsequently multiplie d
in the amplification gap. The amplified electron cloud is coll ected on the anode generating a fast electric signal. The
associated ion cloud is quickly collected on the micro-mesh , whereas only a small fraction of the ion cloud enters into
the conversion region. Based on this technology, we had earl ier developed [8] large area particle detectors. In the
current detector, the main modifications with respect our pr evious developments [8] are:
•The total area of the anode plane has been enlarged to 400 ×400 mm2, providing an active area of 387 ×387
mm2. The anode electrode consists of a 1.0 mm thick printed circu it board. Its inner surface is segmented in
rectangular 12 ×12 mm2gilded copper pads. The inter-pad width is 100 µm and the total number of pads is
1024.
•The electro-formed micro-mesh1consists of a 7 µm thick grid of 508 ×508 mm2made of pure Ni. The 106 µm
squared holes grid are outlined by a 20 µm thick border of Ni in steps of 126 µm, i.e. 200 LPI (lines per inch).
The optical transparency reaches 70%. The micro-mesh is str etched on the Plexiglas frame whose height defines
the 6 mm thick (compared to the 3 mm thick in the earlier design ) conversion gap between the micro-mesh and
the cathode plane. The amplification gap between the micro-m esh and the anode plane has been doubled to
200µm.
In this letter, two different designs to keep an uniform ampli fication gap of 200 µm have been compared:
•Old design. The amplification gap is defined by cylindrical micro-spacer s of 200 µm high and 250 µm in
diameter, glued on to the anode-pads with a pitch of 2 mm in bot h directions.
•New design. The micro-spacers are replaced by an insulating grid sandwi ched between the micro-mesh and
the anode plane (see Fig.1).
The new design presents several decisive technical but also financial advantages when compared to the cylindrical
micro-spacer design. Indeed, since the grid is independent of the printed-circuit board, boards and grids can be
interchanged in case of malfunction of one of the two element s. Moreover, the printed-circuit board without cylindrica l
micro-spacers is more robust. This particular feature faci litates the production process, in particular the polishin g of

1the anode-pad surface. In addition, the connectors can be so ldered more easily to the back of the board by standard
industrial techniques, thus reducing the cost of the detect ors. The choice of the grid material is dictated by the
insulation properties of the material and by its mechanical properties: It must be resistant to heat and rigid enough
to be manipulated. A 200 µm thick FR4 grid of the same size as the printed board (394 ×394 mm2) was chosen. The
grid consists of 1024 squared cells of 11.8 mm width and 300 µm pitch (see Fig.2). On the edge of the grid, 28 2.4
mm diameter holes provides wide opening for the gas to flow ins ide the detector.
The critical parameter in the new design is the uniformity of the amplification-gap across the grid cells. We have
therefore measured the amplification-gap thickness at diffe rent positions across the grid cell and for various voltages
applied to the micro-mesh. For that purpose, we used a magnif ying camera whose position in the three spatial
directions can be accurately measured. With this technique the thickness can be determined with a 5 µm accuracy.
For non-zero voltages the mesh flattens against the grid near its edge of the grid. For usual operating voltages from
-440 V to -600 V (establishing electric fields from 22 kV/cm to 30 kV/cm), the average amplification gap thickness is
(203±5)µm and the difference in the gap thickness between the edge and t he center of a grid hole is less than 10 µm
at -440 V and less than 7 µm at -600V (see Fig.3). Such differences do not strongly affect the gain uniformity along
the grid cell. In the worse case a gain variation of no more tha n 40% might occur. This would induce a minor impact
on the detection of minimum ionizing particles. At voltages above -700 V (electric field larger than 35 kV/cm) the
mesh is deformed by the electric force and the amplification g ap thickness reaches a minimum value of (190 ±5)µm
at the center of the cell.
The gain of this newly designed detector has been measured fo r different gas mixtures and micro-mesh voltages.
A relative determination of the gain has been obtained by mea suring the electric current induced in the micro-mesh
when the detector is irradiated by a90Sr radioactive source. The source was placed on a 50 µm mylar foil replacing
the anode of the detector. We have compared the two designs, c ylindrical micro-spacers2and insulating grid. To
eliminate most of systematic differences, the measurements have been performed simultaneously, the two detectors
being supplied with gas from the same source. To estimate the absolute gain in the amplification gap, we have assumed
that the number of electrons collected by the cathode is equa l to the number of ions collected by the micro-mesh. The
resulting electric current gives a relative measure of the d etector gain and the following expression gives an estimati on
of the gain in the amplification gap:
G=I
e < N > A(1)
where Iis the measured electrical current, ethe electron charge, Athe activity of the source expressed in Bq (5.6 ×105
Bq in the present measurement) and < N > the average number of primary electrons created in the 6 mm co nversion
gap. This later number obviously depends on the gas mixture, being < N > = 27 for Ne+CO 2(5%), < N > = 29 for
Ne+CO 2(10%) and < N > = 56 for Ar+CO 2(10%). The sensibility of the apparatus to the micro-mesh cu rrent was
1nA. The results (see Fig.4) indicate that the two designs be have similarly, although for a given voltage systematicall y
higher gains are reached. with the micro-spacer design: abo ut 10 V more are needed for the grid design to reach
the same gain as with the micro-spacers. This could be relate d with a systematic difference of the amplification
gap thickness between both detector designs. As a matter of f act, a variation on the micro-mesh voltage of 10 V
represents a gain variation of around 40%. This gain differen ce between both designs would correspond to a gap-
thickness systematic difference of only 10 µm. In addition, the electron source was placed on a mylar foil 50µm thick
for the new design and on a Ni micro-mesh 8 µm thick for the old design.
In summary, we have presented a new design for a gas chamber ba sed on Micromegas technology, where the 200 µm
uniform amplification gap is provided by an insulating grid s andwiched by the micro-mesh and the cathode-pad board.
The micro-mesh is not strongly deformed for usual operating electric fields. The measured gain in the amplification
gap for different gas mixtures and micro-mesh voltages shows results similar to those obtained with cylindrical micro-
spacers. The grid design presents several decisive technic al as well as financial advantages when compared to the
cylindrical micro-spacers design, thus allowing for the in dustrial production of inexpensive particle detectors.

An amino acid sequence of a protein may be decomposed into con secutive overlapping strings
of length K. How unique is the converse, i.e., reconstruction of amino a cid sequences using the set
ofK-strings obtained in the decomposition? This problem may be transformed into the problem
of counting the number of Eulerian loops in an Euler graph, th ough the well-known formula must
be modified. By exhaustive enumeration and by using the modifi ed formula, we show that the
reconstruction is unique at K≥5 for an overwhelming majority of the proteins in pdb.seq database.
The corresponding Euler graphs provide a means to study the s tructure of repeated segments in
protein sequences.

I. INTRODUCTION
The composition of nucleotides in DNA sequences and the amin o acids composition in protein sequences have been
widely studied. For example, the g+ccontents or CpGislands in DNAs have played an important role in gene-finding
programs. However, this kind of study usually has been restr icted to the frequency of single letters or short strings,
e.g., dinucleotide correlations in DNA sequences [1], amin o acids frequency in various complete genomes [2]. However,
in contrast to DNA sequences amino acid correlations in prot eins have been much less studied. A simple reason
might be that there are 20 amino acids and it is difficult to comp rehend the 400 correlation functions even at the
two-letter level. A more serious obstacle consists in that p rotein sequences are too short for taking averages in the
usual definition of correlation functions.
For short sequences like proteins one should naturally appr oach the problem from the other extreme by applying
more deterministic, non-probabilistic methods. In fact, t he presence of repeated segments in a protein is a strong
manifestation of amino acid correlation. This problem has a nice connection to the number of Eulerian loops in Euler
graphs. Therefore, we start with a brief detour to graph theo ry.
II. NUMBER OF EULERIAN LOOPS IN AN EULER GRAPH
Eulerian paths and Euler graphs comprise a well-developed c hapter of graph theory, see, e.g., [3]. We collect a few
definitions in order to fix our notation. Consider a connected , directed graph made of a certain number of labeled
nodes. A node imay be connected to a node jby a directed arc. If from a starting node v0one may go through

1a collection of arcs to reach an ending node vfin such a way that each arc is passed once and only once, then it is
called an Eulerian path . Ifv0andvfcoincide the path becomes an Eulerian loop . A graph in which there exists an
Eulerian loop is called an Eulerian graph . An Eulerian path may be made an Eulerian loop by drawing an au xiliary
arc from vfback to v0. We only consider Euler graphs defined by an Eulerian loop.
From a node there may be doutarcs going out to other nodes, doutis called the outdegree (fan-out) of the node.
There may be dinarcs coming into a node, dinbeing the indegree (fan-in) of the node. The condition for a g raph to
be Eulerian was indicated by Euler in 1736 and consists in
din(i) =dout(i)≡di= an even number
for all nodes i.
Numbering the nodes in a certain way, we may put their indegre es as a diagonal matrix:
M= diag( d1, d2,· · ·, dm). (1)
The connectivity of the nodes may be described by an adjacent matrix A={aij}, where aijis the number of arcs
leading from node ito node j.
From the MandAmatrices one forms the Kirchhoff matrix:
C=M−A. (2)
The Kirchhoff matrix has the peculiar property that its eleme nts along any row or column sum to zero:/summationtext
icij= 0,/summationtext
jcij= 0. Further more, for an m×mKirchhoff matrix all ( m−1)×(m−1) minors are equal and we denote it by
∆.
A graph is called simple if between any pairs of nodes there ar e no parallel (repeated) arcs and at all nodes there
are no rings, i.e., aij= 0 or 1 ∀i, jandaii= 0∀i. The number Rof Eulerian loops in a simple Euler graph is given
by
The BEST Theorem [3] (BEST stands for N. G. de Bruijn, T. van Aardenne- Ehrenfest, C. A. B. Smith, and W.
T.Tutte):
R= ∆/productdisplay
i(di−1)! (3)
For general Euler graphs, however, there may be arcs going ou t and coming into one and the same node (some
aii/ne}ationslash= 0) as well as parallel arcs leading from node itoj(aij>1). It is enough to put auxiliary nodes on each parallel
arc and ring to make the graph simple. The derivation goes jus t as for simple graphs and the final result is one has
the original graph without auxiliary nodes but with aii/ne}ationslash= 0 and aij>1 incorporated into the adjacent matrix A.
However, in accordance with the unlabeled nature of the para llel arcs and rings one must eliminate the redundancy
in the counting result by dividing it by aij!. Thus the BEST formula is modified to
R=∆/producttext
i(di−1)!/producttext
ijaij!(4)
As 0! = 1! = 1 Eq. (4) reduces to (3) for simple graphs.
III. EULERIAN GRAPH FROM A PROTEIN SEQUENCE
We first decompose a given protein sequence of length Linto a set of L−K+ 1 consecutive overlapping K-strings
by using a window of width K, sliding one letter at a time. Combining repeated strings in to one and recording their
copy number, we get a collection {WK
j, nj}M
j=1, where M≤L−K+ 1 is the number of different K-strings.
Now we formulate the inverse problem. Given the collection {WK
j, nj}M
j=1obtained from the decomposition of a
given protein, reconstruct all possible amino acid sequenc es subject to the following requirements:
1. Keep the starting K-string unchanged. This is because most protein sequences s tart with methionine ( M); even
the tRNA for this initiation Mis different from that for elongation. This condition can eas ily be relaxed.
2. Use each WK
jstring njtimes and only njtimes until the given collection is used up.
3. The reconstructed sequence must reach the original lengt hL.
2Clearly, the inverse problem has at least one solution — the o riginal protein sequence. It may have multiple solutions.
However, for Kbig enough the solution must be unique as evidenced by the ext reme case K=L−1. We are
concerned with how unique is the solution for real proteins. Our guess is for most proteins the solution is unique at
K≥5.
In order to tell the number of reconstructed sequences we tra nsform the original protein sequence into an Euler
graph in the following way. Consider the two ( K−1)substrings of a K-string as two nodes and draw a directed arc
to connect them. The same repeated ( K−1)-strings are treated as a single node with more than one inc oming and
outgoing arcs.
Take the SWISS-PROT entry ANPA PSEAM as an example [4]. This antifreeze protein A/B precurs or of winter
flounder has a short sequence of 82 amino acids and some repeat ed segments related to alanine-rich helices. Its
sequence reads:
MALSLFTVGQ LIFLFWTMRI TEASPDPAAK AAPAAAAAPA AAAPDTASDA A AAAALTAAN
AKAAAELTAA NAAAAAAATA RG
Consider the case K= 5. The first 5-string MALSL gives rise to a transition from node MALS toALSL. Shifting
by one letter, from the next 5-string ALSLF we get an arc from node ALSL to node LSLF, and so on, and so forth.
Clearly, we get an Eulerian path whose all nodes have even ind egree (outdegree) except for the first and the last
nodes. Then we draw an auxiliary arc from the last node TARG back to the first MALS to get a closed Eulerian loop.
In order to get the number of Eulerian loops there is no need to generate a fully-fledged graph with all the M
distinct ( K−1)-strings treated as nodes. The number of nodes may be reduc ed by replacing a series of consecutive
nodes with din=dout= 1 by a single arc, keeping the topology of the graph unchange d. In other words, only those
strings in {WK−1
j, nj}withnj≥2 are used in drawing the graph. In our example it reduces to a s mall Euler graph
consisting of 9 nodes:
{AKAA,2;AAPA,2;APAA,2;PAAA,2;AAAA,10;AAAP,2;LTAA,2;TAAN,2;AANA,2}.

We note, however, precautions must be taken with spurious re peated arcs caused by the reduction of number of
nodes. In calculating the/producttext
ijaijin the denominator of Eq. (4) one must subtract the number of s purious repeated
arcs from the corresponding matrix element of the adjacent m atrix. This remark applies also to the auxiliary arc
obtained by connecting the last node to the first. Fortunatel y, there are no such spurious arcs in the example above.
We have written a program to exhaustively enumerate the numb er of reconstructed amino acid sequences from
a given protein sequence and another program to implement th e Eq. (4). The two programs yield identical results
whenever comparable — the enumeration program skips the seq uence when the number of reconstructed sequences
exceeds 10000.
IV. RESULT OF DATABASE INSPECTION
We used the two programs to inspect the 2820 proteins in the sp ecial selection pdb.seq [4]. The summary is given
in Table I. As expected most of the proteins lead to unique rec onstruction even at K= 5. At K= 10 such proteins
make 99% of the total.

in parentheses are given in respect to the total number 2820.

11 2798 (99.2%) 12 2 1 1 6
The fact that most of the protein sequences have unique recon struction is not surprising if we note that for a
random amino acid sequence of the length of a typical protein one would expect R= 1 at K= 5, as it is very unlikely
that its decomposition may yield repeated pairs of K-strings among the 205= 3200000 possible strings. A more
positive implication of this uniqueness is one may take the c ollection of {WK
j}L
j=1as an equivalent representation
of the original protein sequence. This may be used in inferri ng phylogenetic relations based on complete genomes
when it is impossible to start with sequence alignment. We wi ll report our on-going work along this line in a separate
publication [5].
A more interesting result of the database screening consist s in there exists a small group of proteins which have
an extremely large number of reconstructed sequences. The n umber Ris not necessarily related to the length of the
protein. As a rule, long protein sequences, say, with 2000 or more amino acids, tend to have larger RatK= 5 or
so, but the number drops down quickly. In fact, all 29 protein s inpdb.seq with more than 2115 amino acids have
unique or a small number of reconstructed sequences. Some no t very long proteins have much more reconstructions
than the long ones. We show a few ”mild” examples in Table II.

V. DISCUSSION
In this paper we have given some precise construction and num bers associated with real protein sequences. Their
biological implications have to be yet explored.
As mentioned in Section IV, we have been using the uniqueness of the reconstruction for most protein sequences to
justify the compositional distance approach to infer phylo genetic relations among procaryotes based on their complet e
genomes [5]. Most of the phylogenetic studies so far conside r mutations at the sequence level. Sequences of more or
less the same length are aligned and distances among species are derived from the alignments. However, mutations
from a common ancestral sequence reflect only one way of evolu tion. There might be another way of protein evolution
— short polypeptides may fuse to form longer proteins. Perha ps our approach may better capture the latter situation.
The decomposition and reconstruction described in this pap er provide a way to study polypeptide repeats and
amino acid correlations. The reconstruction problem natur ally singles out a small group of proteins that have a
complicated structure of repeated segments. One may introd uce further coarse-graining by reducing the cardinality
of the amino acid alphabet according to their biological pro perties. This makes the approach closer to real proteins.
Investigation along these lines are under way.
We note that the Eulerian path problem has been invoked in the study of sequencing by hybridization, i.e., in the
context of RNA or DNA sequences, see [6] and references there in. To the best of our knowledge the modification of
the BEST formula to take into account parallel arcs and rings has not been discussed so far.

arXiv:physics/0103029v1 [physics.class-ph] 11 Mar 2001The Inertial Polarization Principle:
The Mechanism Underlying Sonoluminescence ?
Marcelo Schiffer∗

Abstract
In this paper we put forward a mechanism in which imploding sh ock waves emit electromagnetic
radiation in the spectral region λ0∼=2πR0., where R 0is the radius of the shock by the time it is first
formed. The mechanism relies on three different pieces of Phy sics: Maxwell’s equations, the existence
of corrugation instabilities of imploding shock waves and, last but not least, the Inertial Polarization
Principle . The principle is extensively discussed: how it emerges fro m very elementary physics and
finds experimental support in shock waves propagating in wat er. The spectrum of the emitted light
is obtained and depends upon two free parameters, the amplit ude of the instabilities and the cut-off
Rmax, the shocks’ spatial extension. The spectral intensity is d etermined by the former , but its
shape turns out to have only a mild dependence on the latter, i n the region of physical interest.
The matching with the observed spectrum requires a fine tunin g of the perturbation amplitude
ε∼10−14,indicating a quantum mechanical origin. Indeed, we support this conjecture with an order
of magnitude estimative. The Inertial Polarization Princi ple clues the resolution of the noble gas
puzzle in SL.

1The Inertial Polarization Principle
In this paper we put forward a mechanism responsible for tran sducing the kinetic energy stored in an
imploding spherical shock wave into electromagnetic radia tion, which is based solely upon Maxwell’s
equations, the existence of very small instabilities away f rom the spherically symmetric flow and the
inertial polarization paradigm. Based on these premisses w e obtained the spectral intensity of the
outgoing radiation. The mechanism turns out to be so efficient that the observed energy emission rate of
P(λ)∼10−10Watt/nm calls for perturbation amplitudes no larger than ε= 10−14! Maxwell’s equations
are a pillar of theoretical physics while inertial polariza tion is a consequence of very elementary physics
: an atom that undergoes an acceleration, say a, develops in its interior polarized electromagnetic
fields. The issue is made clear for an observer sitting in the f rame of the molecule, where he sees inertial
forces acting both upon the nucleus FN=MNaand on the electronic cloud Fe=Mea. The gradient
between these forces tends to sag the cloud away from the nucl eus, and the atom develops internal
polarization fields, say E0,to compensate this gradient e E0∼(MN−Me)a. The role of inertial
polarization remained hitherto unnoticed only because det ectable polarization fields call for tremendous
accelerations, say, E0∼1V/mwould require a∼(e/M p)E0∼10−2(eV/(Mpc2))(c2/cm)∼1010cm/sec2
which are absent in every day life experiments. Nevertheles s, there are two instances where such large
accelerations manifest: i.) in the realm of very strong grav itational fields where inertial polarization was
shown to be the working mechanism that rescues the second law of thermodynamics from bankruptcy
(otherwise super-luminal motion of black-holes inside die lectric media would entail a violation of the
generalized second law [1],[2]); ii) in the realm of shock wa ves, because shocks are powerful accelerators
of fluid molecules: a fluid molecule that crosses the shock und ergoes a macroscopic velocity change (of
the order of the fluid velocity itself ) within a microscopic d istance – the shock width (of the order of the
mean free path for the atomic collisions [3]).
The inertial polarization principle is the single non-very -well-established piece of physics in our recipe
and we proceed by making our case for it. Consider a planar str ong shock wave propagating within a
perfect gas. Let v2andv1represent the fluid velocity in the back and in front the shock , respectively
( likewise, the index 2 (1) refer to physical quantities behi nd (in front) the shock ). As the fluid molecules
cross the shock they experience a mean acceleration ¯ a= (v2−v1)(¯∆t), where ¯∆tis the mean time it
takes the gas to cross the shock-width δ. Clearly ¯∆t=δ/¯v, where ¯ v∼=(v1+v2)/2, is the mean velocity.
Putting these pieces together

The shock width δis known to be of order of the mean free path for collisions of a toms in the fluid,

Bearing in mind that nV=A/µwhere Ais Avogadro’s number and µis the molecular weight of the gas,
we obtain the colossal figure for the mean acceleration atoms experience as they cross the shock:

Shock Polarization was first observed in the early sixties [4 ] for shock waves propagating inside water.
Since then, both quality and range of the measurements impro ved considerably [6]. Harris [5, 6] credits
the effect to the fact that large pressure gradients inside th e shock results in a torque field acting upon
the water molecule causing the molecule’s dipole to align. W e reproduce his results via the table:
p(kbar) 98 75 74.558 54 45 36 20
V(mV)/p(kbar)1.971.330.970.770.430.890.680 0.8
The underlying Physics for a shock propagating in water is th e very same as for a gas and we infer
the averaged electric potential across the shock from eq.(6 ) bearing in mind that: i.)˜the compression
rate for water is of order one, therefore we go one step back in this equation by replacing γ/(γ−1)→
γ/(γ+ 1)≃1/2); ii.)˜the equation was obtained for a gas and for liquids i t should be regarded as the
linear expansion of the function V(p). Then it follows that V(mV)/p(kbar)∼0.6 , in agreement with
the lower pressure region of the experimental data. Detecti on of shock polarization for non-polar fluids
would vindicate the Inertial Polarization Principle.
The acceleration field inside planar shocks is space and time independent (and so the corresponding
polarized electromagnetic fields) . Nevertheless, planar s hocks are known to develop corrugation instabili-
ties [3], small deformations of the planar geometry that det ach from the shock and propagate throughout
the fluid. They correspond to the spontaneous emission of sou nd from the shock. These instabilities will
cause a space time dependent acceleration field inside the sh ock, and by the Inertial Polarization Principle
a wiggling 6 ×103V/melectric field vector that is radiated away: sound and light a re emitted simulta-
neously , provided the Inertial Polarization relaxation ti me is small enough. This brings to one’s mind
the famous and intriguing sonoluminescence effect [7] in whi ch under heavy bombarding of ultra-sound
waves, a little ( 5 µm) bubble of air cavitating within a flask of water undergoes a s pectacular collapse,
attains the supersonic regime and glows (mainly) violet lig ht. The effect has been around for sixty years
or so ( [8],[ ?]) and proper understanding of the problem remains elusive. The most popular mechanism
is the Bremsstrahlung from free electrons in the gas where th e ionization is caused by two successive
heating processes: first the adiabatic collapse of the bubbl e which is then followed by the motion of a
shock wall inside the bubble (the shock’s Mach number contro ls the temperature rate T2/T1∼M2) [10].
The formation of a shock wall, a collapsing spherical front o f radius R(t) =A(−t)α(α <1),happens
by the time supersonic regime is attained inside the bubble [ 7]. The acceleration of the shock front surface
a(t)∼A(−t)α−2, becomes very large at focusing ( t→0) engendering very large space and time depen-
dent Inertial-Polarization fields. Nevertheless, the sphe rical symmetric geometry of the problem prevents
these fields to be radiated away: pursuing the present avenue seems to require some supplementary mech-
anism to account for the radiation flash (a sparking mechanis m was proposed [11, 12]). Fortunately, no
supplementary mechanism is needed: numerical calculation s ([13]) have shown the existence of unstable
perturbations of the collapsing shock which provide the mul tipole time-dependent inertial-polarization
fields that are radiated away. The purpose of this paper is to c alculate the spectral distribution of the
emitted light .
The paper is organized as follows. The following section rev iews the dynamics of imploding shocks,
and the existence of unstable multipole perturbation modes is rigorously proved. As a bonus, we obtain
the energy and the power carried away by the sound waves that d etach from the shock (corrugation
instabilities). A novel semi-analytical procedure for sol ving the differential equations for the perturbations
is developed, which nevertheless, is displayed in the appen dix in order prevent the disruption of the
main argument line with technicalities. In section II , we ob tain the polarization fields engendered by
the corrugation instabilities and show that they act as a sou rce term in Maxwell’s equations. Then
we calculate the spectrum of the outgoing radiation. The spe ctrum depends on the dynamics of the
corrugation instabilities, but fortunately it is possible to obtain the main structure of the spectrum
without having to delve too deeply into the dynamics. The int ensity of the outgoing radiation turned
3out to be proportional to pε2where εis the corrugation instability amplitude and p=E2
p/(2α/planckover2pi1),is
Inertial-Polarization power-constant ( Epstands for the proton’s rest energy and αfor the fine structure
constant). This constant is of the order ⋍1.47×1016Watt (!): collapsing shock waves are the most
efficient power-stations in nature, with the sole possible ex ception of astrophysical objects! Agreement
with the experimental data calls for amplitudes of the order ε∼10−13orδr∼10−19m! These tiny
perturbations must have a quantum mechanical origin, and we support this conjecture by an order of
magnitude estimative. Finally we suggest the resolution of the noble gas puzzle in SL.
1 Dynamics of Imploding Shocks
The non-viscous implosion of a spherical shock cannot be cha racterized by any dimensional parameter .
Consequently the flow admits a self-similar symmetry. Let R(t) =Ai(−t)αrepresent the radius of the
shock front, where Aiandαare two constants and vshock=αR(t)/t, its implosion velocity. The self
similar parameter here is ξ=r/R(t); the surface of the shock is given by ξ= 1. Self-similarity constrains
the form of the speed of sound, radial flow velocity and densit y [14] :

t/parenrightig2
Z(ξ) (7)
v2=/parenleftigαr
t/parenrightig
V(ξ) (8)
ρ2=ρ0G(ξ) (9)
When expressed in terms of the self similar quantities Z, VandG, the boundary conditions for a strong
shock /vector n·/vector vshock>> c read,
G(1) =γ−1
γ+ 1, V(1) =2
γ+ 1, Z(1) =2γ(γ−1)
(γ+ 1)2(10)
The equations that govern the flow are the entropy and mass con servation laws and Euler’s equation .
They provide a set of non-linear coupled equations for G(ξ), V(ξ) and Z(ξ), which when solved for Z(V)
andξ(V),yield the pair of equations [3]

(3V−κ)Z−V(1−V)(1/α−V)(12)
where κ= 2(1 −α)/(αγ). Inspection of these equations reveals the existence of a s ingular point at
Z= (1−V)2(dV/dξ → ∞?). Clearly, all physical quantities, and their derivative s must be finite across
the singular point, meaning that the conditions (3 V−κ)Z−V(1−V)(1/α−V) = 0 and Z= (1−V)2are
simultaneous to each other at this point, such as to keep thei r ratio finite. Call Vc(α), Zc(α) the solution
of this pair of algebraic equations. The parameter αis obtained by numerically integrating Z(V) from
V=V(1) to Vcfor different values of αuntil the matching Z(Vc(α)) =Zc(α) is obtained. The good
values for αare 0.688376 /0.71717 for a monatomic/diatomic gas. The limit t→0−corresponds to the
shock’s focusing time, after which the shock reflects and ree xpands .For latter reference, we mention the
asymptotic behavior V∼ξ−1/αasξ→ ∞ [3].
We are seeking now perturbations away from this flow. Let δ=δρ/ρbe the contrast function and δ/vector v
the velocity fluctuation. The latter can be decomposed into i ts normal and perpendicular components

remain finite at any time and at focusing it requires that 1 /α−2.5≤Re(β)≤0. In the appendix we
develop a semi-analytical method for solving eq.(21) and ob taining the correspondent spectrum for βl,n.
In consonance with previous numerical calculations ([13]) we confirm that βlies in this interval. By the
way, the most unstable modes are shown to lie in the interval .5 + 1/α < Re(β)<−2.5 + 3/(2α) , even

As discussed already, electromagnetic bounded systems who se constituents have sizeable mass differences,
say ∆ M, and which are subjected to a strong acceleration field d/vector v/dt engender polarization fields /vectorE0,/vectorB0

The detailed form of the spectrum requires a full knowledge o fbn, that is to say, dynamics of the fluctu-
ations must be specified (this can be done analytically by usi ng the method developed in the appendix).
9Fortunately, the major features of the spectrum can be obtai ned without delving into the differential
equations. For instance, in the region where kRmax<1 we can approximate jl(x)≃(2x)ll!/(2l+ 1)! and

In the other end of the spectrum kR0>1, taking the asymptotic expression jl(x)≈1/xsin(x−lπ/2)

integral the measure x2+β(with 2 + β >1) ensures that important contributions to the integral com es
from the large arguments. Thus,

present results. This worry is removed studying the asympto tic behavior gl(λ), bearing in mind that in

3 Assessment of the Results
The present SL mechanism relies on very basic pieces of physi cs, the existence of corrugation instabilities
in spherical shocks, whose existence is well known, Maxwell ’s equations and the inertial polarization
10paradigm. As we had the opportunity to explain, this paradig m stems from very elementary physics and
it has remained hitherto unnoticed only because huge accele rations are required for sizeable polarizations.
The detection of shock polarization in non-polar liquids wo uld lend an undisputable status to the inertial
polarization principle . In the transduction of sound into r adiation , the flash of light must be coincident
with a burst of sound since the emission of radiation is cause d by corrugation instabilities . According to
eq.(50), only one field-mode is related to the sonoluminesce nt light. This mode has a longitudinal electric
field component E1, and some experiment must be devised to detect it .The transv ersal component
E2points into the direction of the vector

l(cos(θ))− →eθ)
and this (weird) polarization should be observed in sonolum inescent light.
Physics is seldom controlled by cut-off parameters, and we ex pect the cut-off parameter Rmax( the
bubble’s ambient radius) to play a marginal role in delimiti ng the frequency band where light is emitted.
The main features of the spectrum should be controlled by the remaining parameters: R0,the radius of
the shock-wave when it is first formed and the perturbation am plitude ε. Thus, R0should characterize
the typical wave-length of the emitted light λ≈λ0= 2πR0. Our asymptotic results [eq.(69)] confirms this
feeling. Numerical and theoretical studies of the dynamics of imploding shocks support the picture that
the bubble collapses at the speed of sound by the time it passe s through its ambient radius as the right
criterion both for shock formation and the existence of SL ([ 15]- [17]). According to these investigations,
at 100 psbefore the bubble reaches its minimum size, a shock wave of in itial radius R0= 0.15µmdevelops:
by this time the interface is imploding with 4 to 5 times the am bient speed of sound. With these figures,
we predict the emitted light to lie in λ≈λ0= 900 nmspectral region, regardless the kind of gas present
in the bubble; in SL experiments light is observed in the 200 nm/lessorsimilarλ/lessorsimilar800nminterval. According
to this result, it is legitimate to infer the spectrum in this wave-length interval through the asymptotic
formula for λ≼λ0[see eq.(69)]. How does the particular kind of gas present in the bubble impact on the
the emission power? The dependence of the emitted light upon the particular type of gas present in the
bubble stems from two different factors:
i.) different values of the adiabatic index γleads to a different shock-wave and corrugation instability
dynamics; ii.) different gases have different dielectric per meability ǫ.
The dielectric nature of the gas is implemented through the r eplacement E→Din the Poynting
vector, which corresponds to the replacement of |Wl(k)|2by/tildewideǫ(k)|Wl(k)|2, orgl(λ)→/tildewideǫ(k)gl(λ) . Different
adiabatic indexes would cause hl(k) to change because both the spectrum of βand the dynamical
coefficients bn, depend upon γ. These two conditions will cause a change on the shape of the f unction gl(λ)
. Assuming that after taking these corrections into account , the function gl(λ) still remains marginally
dependent upon the wave-length (non power law), the overall change produced by different gases in the
shape on the logartithmic representation of the spectrum ln P∼ −3 lnλ+ lngl(λ) +const forλ/lessorsimilarλ0
, is a displacement of the nearly parallel lines of inclinati onm∼=−3. This behaviour is changed as
we approach the λ << λ 0region because then the dielectric constant being governed by the plasma
frequency of the gas, causes the function ln gl(λ) to strongly depend upon λ.
Infering the uncorrected spectra for transmission by the su rrounding medium observed by Hiller in SL
experiments for bubbles trapping pure noble gases bubbles a t 00C([18]) we infered m∼=−2.7. For pure
He,m∼=−2.5.Inspection of the spectra shows the nearly linear dependenc e forAr, He, He3,andNe.
The agreement is less accurate for XeandKr,for reasons which are presently unclear: it might well be
the that heavier noble gases cannot be handled with the naive classical Inertial Polarization picture, they
have too much internal structure and must be handled with a fu ll quantum mechanical approach. The
spectrum for a mixture of 1% of HeandN2closely resemble the behavior of pure He 2([18]). Differences
might be credited to the superimposition of the Bremsstrahl ung spectrum of free electrons of the ionized
11N2gas in the mixture to the original spectrum, or even the effect of the Inertial-Polarization fields upon
these electrons.
Regarding now the intensity of the outgoing radiation, it is governed by the product pε2. A small p
would require large corrugation instabilities, invalidat ing the linear regime approximations. Surprisingly,
p=E2
p/(2/planckover2pi1α)⋍1.47×1016Watt , imploding shocks are fantastic power stations ! Actua lly, we have
to worry to have sufficiently small perturbations to fit the exp erimental data! Typical power emissions
are of of the order of 10−11Watt/nm in the λ0region [18], calling for an amplitude ε∼10−12or
δr=εR0∼10−19m, which being much smaller then the nuclear dimensions can ha ve only a quantum
mechanical origin. Now, the radius of the shock at the moment it is formed R0is governed by the radius of
the bubble wall Rb, by the time it is collapsing at 4-5 times the ambient speed of sound. The dependence
of the former on the latter is linear. In a semi-classical app roach, it is to be expected that the fluctuations
on the shape of the imploding shock are also governed by bubbl e wall fluctuations, ǫ=δR0/R0=δRb/Rb.
The fluctuations of the bubble interface should be of the orde r of the bubble’s Compton wave-length λb
andδr= (R0/Rb)λb∼λp/N, where λp∼10−15mis the Compton wave-length of the proton and N
is the number of gas atoms trapped inside the bubble , N∼107.Thus, in this scenario δr∼10−22m,
which is close to the amplitude needed to fit the observed inte nsity of the radiation.
One of the most intriguing issues in SL is beyond any doubt the noble gas puzzle: only bubbles
containing noble gas,even at very small concentrations, gl ow. What can we say in this respect? Does
our paradigm shed some light in this direction? Here is a clue . As the bubble collapses and the attains
supersonic regime the adiabatic heating raises the gas temp erature to ∼0.4eV([19]) . The gas is further
heated when it crosses the shock front, the temperature is in creased by a factor M4. This is more than
enough to bring diatomic gases to their excited states, but n ot for noble gases. The dipole contribution
/angb∇acketleftΨlmn|/hatwidep|Ψlmn/angb∇acket∇ight ·r−3of the excited states being much larger than the Inertial Pol arization Fields will
wash away information regarding the latter. A full quantum m echanical calculation should resolve this
issue.
There are immense challenges ahead. From the theoretical po int of view, one needs to calculate the
detailed spectrum taking full account of the shock dynamics , study the back reaction of the polarized
fields upon the dynamics, clarify whether the polarization c aused by quantum mechanical transitions of
a diatomic molecule are the culprits for washing out the Iner tial Polarization fields, etc. The immediate
experimental challenge is to detect Shock Polarization in n on-polar fluids. If the effect is confirmed in
non-polar fluids then it will be very hard to defuse the presen t transduction mechanism.

Supersonic motion produces a discontinuity in the fluid flow k nown as a shock wave or simply shock. Let
us call /vector v2andρ2the fluid velocity and density, and c2the speed of sound behind the shock, as measured
in the laboratory frame(likewise, the subscript 1 refers to the same quantities in the front of the shock).
The normal to the shock is /vector nand its velocity in the lab frame is /vector vshock. The discontinuities have to fulfill
the following conditions at the shock surface [3]

Numerical Procedure
Our procedure for resolving the spectrum of βconsists of first fitting the unperturbed flow ( Z(V), dV(V))
by a polynomial in V, from which we extract the matrices AandB(V) as power series in V. Then
through the recurrence formulae ( ??) we obtain the expansion coefficients Yn(β) up to a given order
and insert then into eq.(78), in conjunction with the above b oundary condition |X(V1)/angb∇acket∇ight[eq.(85) ] . This
procedure yields a polynomial equation for β, which is solved numerically. We display the results for
γ= 7/5, l= 1,2,3,4.

Abstract
The Gaussian theory of errors has been generalized to situat ions,
where the Gaussian distribution and, hence, the Gaussian ru les of error
propagation are inadequate. The generalizations are based on Bayes’
theorem and a suitable measure. The following text sketches some
chapters of a monograph1that is presently prepared. We concentrate
on the material that is — to the best of our knowledge — not yet i n the
statistical literature. See especially the extension of fo rm invariance to
discrete data in section 4, the criterion on the compatibili ty between a
proposed distribution and sparse data in section 7 and the “d iscovery”
of probability amplitudes in section 9.
1 The Prior Distribution
Bayes’ theorem [1] allows one to deduce the distribution P(ξ|x) of the pa-
rameter ξconditioned by the data x. The distribution p(x|ξ) of the data
conditioned by the parameter ξmust be given. The theorem reads
P(ξ|x)m(x) = p(x|ξ)µ(ξ) (1)
m(x) =/integraldisplay
dξ p(x|ξ)µ(ξ). (2)
See e.g. [2]. Here, µ(ξ) is called the prior and Pthe posterior distribution
ofξ. The posterior can be used to deduce an interval Iof error: We define
it as the smallest interval in which ξis with probability K. This is called

1the Bayesian interval I=I(K). In order to make it independent of any
reparametrisation η=T(ξ), one has to judge the size Aof an interval Iby
help of a measure µ(ξ), i.e.
A=/integraldisplay
Idξ µ(ξ). (3)
We identify this measure with the prior distribution of µ.
2 Form Invariance
Ideally the conditional distribution p(x|ξ) possesses a symmetry called form
invariance. This family of distributions then emerges by a m athematical
group of transformations Gξxfrom one and the same basic distribution w,
i.e.
p(x|ξ)dx=w(Gξx)dGξx. (4)
It is not required that every acceptable phas this symmetry. But the sym-
metry guarantees an unbiased inference in the sense of secti on 3. If there is
no form invariance, unbiased inference can be achieved only approximately.
The prior distribution is defined as the invariant measure of the group
of transformations. Symmetry arguments were first discusse d in [3, 4, 5, 6].
They were not generally accepted because not all reasonable distributions
possess the symmetry (4). It cannot exist at all if xis discrete. Since ξis
assumed to be continuous, it can be changed infinitesimally. However, no
infinitesimal transformation of a discrete variable is poss ible. In section 4,
we generalize form invariance to this case.
Form invariance is a property of ideal, well behaved distrib utions. How-
ever, its existence is not a prerequisite of statistical inf erence, see section
6.
The invariant measure can be found from p— without analysis of the
group — by evaluating the expression
µ(ξ)∝det/parenleftbigg/integraldisplay
dxp(x|ξ)∂ξL∂T
ξL/parenrightbigg1/2
. (5)
Here, the function Lis
L(ξ) = ln p(x|ξ) (6)
and∂ξL∂T
ξLmeans the dyadic product of the vector ∂ξLof partial deriva-
tives with itself. Eq.(5) is known as Jeffreys’ rule [7].
One shall see in section 6 that this expression defines µin any case that
is to say in the absence of form invariance, too.
23 Invariance of the Entropy of the Posterior Dis-
tribution
The posterior distribution P(ξ|x) has the same symmetry as the conditional
distribution p(x|ξ) if form invariance exists. The entropy
H(x) =−/integraldisplay
dxP(ξ|x)lnP(ξ|x)
µ(ξ)(7)
is then independent of the true value ˆξof the parameter ξbecause one has
H(x) =H(Gρx) (8)
for every transformation Gρof the symmetry group. This entails that H(x)
does not depend on ˆξbut only on the number Nof the data x1... x N. One
can say that all values of the parameter ξare equally difficult to measure.
In this sense, form invariance guarantees unbiased estimat ion of ξand by
the same token the invariant measure µis the parametrization of ignorance
about ξ.
4 Form Invariance for Discrete x
If the variable xis discrete — e.g. a number of counts — then form invariance
cannot exist in the sense of eq.(4) since an infinitesimal shi ft ofξcannot be
compensated by an infinitesimal transformation of x. One then has to define
a vector a(ξ) the components of which are labelled by x. The probability
p(x|ξ) must be a unique function of ax(ξ). Form invariance then means that
a(ξ) =Gξa(ξ= 0). (9)
Again µis the invariant measure of the group. The transformation Gξshall
be linear so that it is the linear representation of the symme try group of
form invariance. It is necessarily unitary.
The choice ax(ξ) =p(x|ξ) is precluded because a group of transforma-
tions cannot — for all of its elements — map a vector with posit ive elements
onto one with the same property. With the choice
ax(ξ) =/radicalBig
p(x|ξ) (10)
one succeeds. That means: Important discrete distribution s — such as the
Poisson and the binomial distributions — possess form invar iance. Further-
more the property (4) can be recast into a relation correspon ding to eq.(9),
3i.e. it can be written as a linear transformation of the space of functions
(p(x|ξ))1/2. Hence, (9) is not different from (4); it is a generalization.
Note that (10) is a probability amplitude as it is used in quan tum me-
chanics. However, it is real up to this point. The generaliza tion to complex
probability amplitudes is sketched in section 8.
5 The Poisson Distribution
Form invariance in the sense of section 4 does not seem to have been treated
in the literature on statistics. As an example let us conside r the Poisson
distribution
p(x|ξ) =λx
x!exp(−λ)
x= 0,1,2... (11)
With
ξ=λ1/2(12)
one obtains the amplitudes
ax(ξ) =ξx
√
x!exp(−ξ2/2). (13)
The derivative of ais found to be
∂
∂ξa(ξ) = (A+−A)a(ξ), (14)
where A,A+are linear operators independent of ξ. They have the commu-
tator
[A,A+] = 1. (15)
Hence, A,A+are destruction and creation operators of numbers of counts
or events. Integrating the differential equation (14) one fin ds
a(ξ) = exp/parenleftbigξ/parenleftbigA+−A/parenrightbig/parenrightbig|0∝angbracketright. (16)
Here, the vacuum |0∝angbracketrightis the vector that provides zero counts with probability
1. Equation (16) means that the linear transformation Gξis
Gξ= exp/parenleftbigξ/parenleftbigA+−A/parenrightbig/parenrightbig. (17)
The measure µof this group of transformations is
µ(ξ)≡const. (18)
4It can also be obtained by straightforward application of Je ffreys’ rule (5)
without analysis of the symmetry group.
This can be generalized to the joint Poisson distribution
p(x1... x M|ξ1... ξM) =M/productdisplay
k=1ξ2xk
k
xk!exp(−ξ2
k) (19)
of the numbers xkof counts in a histogram with Mbins. One finds the
amplitude vector
a(ξ1... ξM) = exp/parenleftBiggM/summationdisplay
kξk(A+
k−Ak)/parenrightBigg
|0∝angbracketright (20)
and again the uniform measure µ(ξ)≡const.
As a further generalization, one can introduce destruction and creation
operators Bν,B+
νof quasi-events ν= 1... nvia
Bν=M/summationdisplay
k=1ckνAk. (21)
If the vectors |cν∝angbracketrightforν= 1... nare orthonormal then
[Bν,B+
ν′] =δνν′, (22)
whence Bν,B+
νare destruction and creation operators. One finds the am-
plitude vector
a(ξ) = exp/parenleftBiggn/summationdisplay
ν=1ξν/parenleftbigB+
ν−Bν/parenrightbig/parenrightBigg
|0∝angbracketright (23)
The amplitude axto find the event xis given by
ax(ξ) =M/productdisplay
k=11√xk!(Ξk)xkexp/parenleftBigg
−1
2/summationdisplay
νξ2
ν/parenrightBigg
.
(24)
Here, the amplitude
Ξk=n/summationdisplay
ν=1ξνckν (25)
to find events in the k-th bin is given by an expansion into the orthogonal
system of amplitude vectors |cν∝angbracketright. More precisely: By working with the
creation operators B+
ν, one infers an expansion of the vector |Ξ∝angbracketrightin terms of
5the orthogonal system |cν∝angbracketright. The prior distribution of the amplitudes ξνis
again uniform,
µ(ξ1... ξν)≡const. (26)
On Summary: The problem of finding the expansion coefficients ξνfrom the
counting rates xkis form invariant and thus guarantees unbiased inference.
One should therefore expand probability amplitudes and not probabilities
in terms of an orthogonal system if one performs e.g. a Fourie r analysis.
6 The Prior Probability in the Absence of Form
Invariance
Jeffreys’ rule (5) can be rewritten in the form
µ(ξ)∝det/parenleftbigg/integraldisplay
dx∂ξa∂T
ξa/parenrightbigg1/2
. (27)
The integral means a summation if xis discrete.
In differential geometry [8, 9], it is shown that (27) is the me asure on the
surface defined by the parametrisation a(ξ). A prerequisite for this measure
is the assumption that one has the same uniform measure on eac h coordinate
axis in the space; more precisely, the metric tensor of the sp ace must be
proportional to the unit matrix. Since the coordinates axare probability
amplitudes, this is justified by the last result of section 5.
Hence, Jeffreys’ rule provides the prior distribution in any case. In the
absence of form invariance, however, one cannot guarantee t hat all values of
the parameter ξare equally difficult to measure, i.e. one cannot guarantee
unbiased inference.
7 Does a Proposed Distribution Fit an Observed
Histogram?
The Poisson distribution (19) yields the posterior
P(ξ1... ξM|x1... x M)∝M/productdisplay
k=1ξ2xk
kexp(−ξ2
k) (28)
We want to decide whether — in the light of the data — the propos alτkis
a reasonable estimate of ξk,k= 1... M. This is equivalent to the question
whether τis in the Bayesian Interval I=I(K). The Bayesian interval is
6bordered by the “contour line” Γ( K) which is — in the case at hand —
defined as the set of points with the property P(ξ|x) =C(K). This means
thatτ∈Iexactly if
P(τ|x)> C(K) (29)
or that τis accepted if and only if (29) holds. The number C(K) can be
calculated.
If the count rates xkare large in every bin k, the procedure essentially
yields the well-known χ2-criterion.
If, however, M≥N=/summationtext
kxk, i.e. if the data are sparse, then this leads
to the condition

Here, Φ−1is the inverse of the probability function. Note that the exp ression
in brackets ( ...) on the l.h.s. is ≥0 if
/summationdisplay
kτ2
k= 1. (31)
Hence, the inequality (30) sets an upper limit to a positive e xpression. This
criterion is new. It is needed because the situation M≥Nis surely met if
kis a multidimensional variable i.e. if the observable is mul tidimensional.
See [10]. Any attempt to apply Gaussian arguments is hopeles s in this case.
8 Does a Proposed Probability Density Fit Ob-
served Data?
Suppose that the data x1... x Nhave been observed. Each xkis supposed
to follow, say, an exponential distribution
p(x|ξ) =ξ−1exp(−x/ξ). (32)
They shall all be conditioned by one and the same hypothesis p arameter ξ.
If this is true, the posterior P(ξ|x1... x N) yields the distribution of ξand,
hence, the Bayesian interval for ξ. It is intuitively clear that — at least for
largeN— one can learn from the data not only the best fitting values of ξ
but one can even decide whether the exponential (32) is justi fied at all. I.e.
7one can find out whether the model is satisfactory. How does th is work?
We do not want to produce a histogram by binning the data. This would
reduce the problem to the one solved in section 7 but it would i ntroduce an
arbitrary element into the decision: The definition of the bi ns.
The basic idea is to determine ξfrom every data point, i.e. Ntimes,
and to decide whether this result is compatible with ξhaving the same value
everywhere.
One defines the distribution qof the N-dimensional event ( x1... x N)
conditioned by the N-dimensional hypothesis ( ξ1... ξN) as the product
q(x1... x N|ξ1... ξN) =N/productdisplay
k=1p(xk|ξk). (33)
One writes down the posterior distribution Q(ξ1... ξN|x1... x N) of the N-
dimensional hypothesis ( ξ1... ξN). One studies its Bayesian interval I(K).
A proposed hypothesis ( τ1... τN) is acceptable exactly if it is an element of
I. In the case at hand, one determines the best value αof the hypothesis
ξfrom the model that assigns one and the same hypothesis to all the data.
One then asks whether the N-dimensional τwithτk=αfor all kis inI.
The criterion (30) has been derived by help of this argument.
Note, however, that the argument fails, when one wants to kno w whether
the data ( x1... x N) follow the proposed distribution t(x). There is no hy-
pothesis ξ. The family of distributions is not defined from which t(x) is
taken. Indeed the above argument does not judge the distribu tionp(x|α)
all by itself. It actually judges whether the family of distr ibutions, i.e. the
whole model p(x|ξ), is compatible with the data. The question whether t(x)
fits the data, is too general to be answered. One must specify w hich features
of the distribution are important — its form in a region, wher e one finds
most events or in a region where there are very few events? The relevant
features are expressed by the parametric dependence on ξand the measure
derived from it.
9 The Logic of Quantum Mechanics
The results of section 5 show that probability amplitudes ra ther than prob-
abilities can be inferred in an unbiased way from counting ev ents. Alterna-
tivesν,ν′are defined by two vectors |cν∝angbracketrightand|cν′∝angbracketright. Each vector characterizes
a distribution over the bins k= 1... M of a histogram. A decision between
νandν′amounts to assess the amplitudes ξνandξν′. They determine
the strength with which the distributions νandν′are present in the data.
8However, the amplitudes can interfere — the probabilities c annot. The real
amplitudes introduced so far can be generalized to complex o nes: We arrive
at the quantum mechanical way to treat alternatives.
The parameters ξdeduced from counting events are then completely
analogous with quantum mechanical probability amplitudes . It may be bet-
ter to turn this statement around and to say: The logic of quan tum me-
chanics is the logic of unbiased inference from random event s; it is not a
collection of the rules according to which the microworld “e xists”.
The generalization of real amplitudes to complex ones is ach ieved by
generalizing the amplitude vector (23) to
a(ξ,ζ,φ) = exp/parenleftBigg
in/summationdisplay
ν=1Dν/parenrightBigg
|0∝angbracketright, (34)
where the operator Dνis
Dν=ζν(Bν+B+
ν) +iξν(Bν−B+
ν) +φν. (35)
Here, the three generators do generate a group since one has t he commutator
/bracketleftbigBν−B+
ν, Bν+B+
ν/bracketrightbig= 2. (36)
The invariant measure is
µ(ξ,ζ,φ)≡const. (37)
By explicit evaluation of eq.(34) one finds
ax=M/productdisplay
k=11√xk!/parenleftBiggn/summationdisplay
ν=1Ξk/parenrightBiggxk
exp/parenleftBigg
−1
2/summationdisplay
ν(ξ2

ν−2iφν)/parenrightBigg
(38)
This is a generalization of expression (24). It is again a Poi sson distribution,
but now the amplitude Ξ kto find events in the k-th bin is
Ξk=n/summationdisplay
ν=1(ξν+iζν)c∗
kν. (39)
This is an expansion of the probability amplitude in terms of the system
of mutually orthogonal vectors |c∗
ν∝angbracketrightwhich may be complex. The expansion
coefficients ξν+iζνmay be complex, too.
9The phase/summationtext
νφνthat appears in (38) cannot be measured since only
the modulus of (38) is accessible.
The Poisson distribution possesses form invariance with re spect to the
probability amplitudes even if these are complex. Put differ ently, one should
expand the square root of a distribution into a system of orth onormal vec-
tors. They may be complex. The expansion coefficients deduced from the
data may also be complex. Inference on the real and imaginary parts of
the expansion coefficients is unbiased. The Fourier expansio n is an example;
however, it must be the square root of the probability distri bution that is
expanded.
10 Alternatives that cannot Interfere
In quantum physics alternatives can interfere. Suppose tha t a cross section
σ=σ(E) is observed as a function of energy E— e.g. in neutron scattering
by heavy nuclei. Suppose that this excitation function show s a resonance
line plus a smooth background. The book [11] is full of exampl es. Look e.g at
the middle part of page 691. There is a flat background with sup erimposed
resonances. The resonance lines destructively and constru ctively interfere
with the background.
Speaking in the language of section 5, the figure offers a simpl e alter-
native ν= 1,2. The first possibility ( ν= 1) is that the incoming neutron
together with the target forms a compound system which decay s after some
time. The second possibility ( ν= 2) is the reaction to occur without de-
lay. The probability amplitudes ξν+iζνfor these two possibilities interfere.
The interference pattern is visible if the resolution of the detection system
is better than the width of the resonance. If the resolution i s much worse,
the interference pattern disappears and the cross section d ue to the reso-
nance is added to the cross section due to the background, i.e . one adds the
probabilities πν=ξ2
ν+ζ2
νinstead of the amplitudes.
The situation of insufficient resolution is the situation of c lassical physics
and classical statistics: Alternatives do not interfere. T heir probabilities are
added.
The typical situation of classical physics is that the detec tion system
lumps many events together that have distinguishable prope rties. In our
example: It does not well enough discriminate the energies o f the scattered
particles. The events recorded in classical physics can in p rinciple be differ-
entiated according to more properties than are actually use d to distinguish
them. The tacit assumption of classical physics was that thi s were always
10so.
If objects are observed that allow for a small number of disti nctions
only, one is lead to the logic of interfering probability amp litudes by the
way sketched in sections 5 and 9.
Consider the two slit experiment as a further example. If it i s performed
with polarized electrons, an impressive interference patt ern appears. Use of
unpolarized electrons reduces the contrast of the pattern. Had the scattered
particles more than two “ways to be”, the contrast of the inte rference would
be reduced up to the point, where the probability of a particl e going through
the first slit would be added to the probability of the particl e going through
the second slit. See chapter 1 of [12].
Suppose that we know that there is interference between the t wo possi-
bilities in the above neutron scattering experiment. The am plitudes ξν+iζν
for the possibilities ν= 1,2 would be inferred from the data x1... x kas
follows. The distribution of the data is
p(x1... x N|ξ1ζ1ξ2ζ2) =M/productdisplay
k=1λxk
k
xk!exp(−λk), (40)
where the expectation value λkin the k-th bin is a function of ξν,ζν, namely
λk=|(ξ1+iζ1)Line(k) + (ξ2+iζ2)Bg(k)|2. (41)
Here, Line(k) is the line shape and Bg(k) is the shape of the background.
By section 9, this is a form invariant model allowing for unbi ased inference.
Suppose on the contrary that there cannot be any interferenc e between
the two possibilities in the neutron experiment. The probab ilities π1andπ2
are inferred via the model p(x1...N|π1π2) which is again given by eq. (40).
But now λkis the incoherent sum
λk=π1|Line(k)|2+π2|Bg(k)|2. (42)
The prior distribution for this model must be calculated by h elp of (5). The
model is not form invariant, whence unbiased inference cann ot be guaran-
teed. A closer inspection shows that the model “has a prejudi ce against”
very small values of π1orπ2. This means: Small values are harder to
establish than large ones.
11 Summary
The basis of the foregoing work is twofold: (i) All statement s and relations
in statistical inference must be invariant under reparamet rizations and (ii)
to state ignorance about ξmeans to claim a symmetry.
11It is the symmetry of form invariance that guarantees unbias ed infer-
ence of the hypothesis ξ, if the invariant measure of the symmetry group is
identified with the prior distribution in Bayesian inferenc e. The invariant
measure is obtained in a straightforward way — i.e. without a nalysis of
the group — by Jeffreys’ rule. We have shown that even distribu tions of
counted numbers possess form invariance.
A study of the Poisson distribution shows that the basic quan tities in
statistical inference are probability amplitudes not prob abilities. The am-
plitudes may even be complex. This is not only an analogy to th e logic of
quantum mechanics. This says that the logic of quantum mecha nics is the
logic of unbiased inference from counted events.
These considerations do not mean that form invariance is a co ndition
for the possibility of inference. Lack of form invariance pr ecludes unbiased
inference; it does not preclude inference. In the absence of form invariance,
the prior distribution is defined as the differential geometr ical measure on
a suitably defined surface: The surface must lie in a space of p robability
amplitudes. The measure on the surface is again given by Jeffr eys’ rule.
As a practically useful result, we have formulated the decis ion whether
a proposed distribution fits an observed histogram. The deci sion covers the
case of sparse data. This case does not allow a Gaussian appro ximation and,
hence, no χ2-test.

Possible Mechanism of Distant
Mind - Matter and Mind - Mind Interaction

The original mechanism of bivacuum mediated Mind-Matter and Mind-
Mind interaction, proposed here is based on the following st ages of long term
efforts (http://arXiv.org/find/physics/1/au:+Kaivarain enA/0/1/0/all/0/1).
- New dynamic models of bivacuum, sub-elementary particles and corpuscle-
wave [C-W] duality, as a background of Superunification;
- New Hierarchic theory of liquids and solids, verified on exa mples of
water and ice;
- New Hierarchic model of elementary act of consciousness, b ased on
microtubules of distant neurons exchange interaction;
- Virtual Replica (VR) of matter, including living organism s in bivacuum;
- The distant resonant [Mind-Bivacuum-Matter] and [Mind-B ivacuum-
Mind] interaction, mediated by Bivacuum oscillation (BvO) with Golden
mean frequency, accompanied by virtual particles/antipar ticles pressure os-
cillation. The latter factor is related to oscillation of va cuum permittivity
(ε0) and permeability ( µ0).These kinds of interaction may be realized also
by modulation of energy of neutrino or antineutrino and [neu trino ⇋an-
tineutrino] equilibrium.
Our theory of Superunification is based on new models of bivac uum, neu-
trino/antineutrino, sub-elementary particles, their sel f-assembly to particles
and [corpuscle (C)⇋wave(W)] duality. It elucidates the quantum back-
ground of non-locality, principle of Least Action and Golde n mean, unifies
the quantum and relativist theories. Bivacuum is considere d as two nonmix-
ing superfluid oceans of subquantum particles of positive (r eal) and negative
(mirror) energy. The primordial bivacuum in the absence of m atter and fields
is symmetric in contrast to secondary one.
It is shown, that self-organization and evolution of system s at huge range
of scales: from microscopic to cosmic ones - drives them to Go lden Mean
conditions under the influence of Bivacuum oscillations (Bv O) with Golden

consequence of corresponding ”Harmonization” driving for ce of bivacuum.
1The virtual replica (VR) of condensed matter (living organi sms
in private case), may influence the properties of uncompensa ted
(effective) virtual pressure of asymmetric bivacuum in foll owing
manner:
1) changing the amplitude of virtual pressure waves (VPW) in -phase with
Bivacuum oscillations (BvO). This factor is dependent on fr action of coherent
particles in system with in-phase [ C⇋W] transitions. The important role
of Mind-Matter and Mind-Mind interaction is related to cohe rent fraction
of water in microtubules in state of mesoscopic molecular Bo se condensate.
This fraction is a variable parameter, dependent on kind of e lementary act
of consciousness and number of simultaneous acts;
2) changing bivacuum symmetry shift, related to [ BV F↑⇋BV F↓]≡
[neutrino ⇋antineutrino ] equilibrium shift, induced by magnetic field
of matter variation. Decreasing/increasing of the vacuum s ymmetry shift
will be accompanied by decreasing/increasing of the effecti ve uncompensated
VPW energy;
3) shifting the Golden mean resonance conditions of [matter - bivacuum]
interaction by exchange of BvO, as a result of spatial pertur bation of matter,
changing the frequency of [ C⇋W] pulsations of its elementary particles.
This factor may increase or decrease the amplitude of BvO and , consequently,
the amplitude of virtual pressure waves (VPW).
Key words: vacuum, duality, Superunification, act of consci ous-
ness, virtual replica, Golden mean, bivacuum oscillations , Mind-
Matter and Mind-Mind interaction.
I. New Model of Bivacuum
Our Dynamic model of Corpuscle -Wave [ C⇋W] duality is based on
the new notion of bivacuum. We postulate the existence of POS ITIVE (real)
and NEGATIVE (mirror) vacuum as two non mixing ’oceans’ of su perfluid
liquid, formed by virtual sub-quantum particles of the opposite energies.
The unified system of positive (real) and negative (mirror) v acuum is termed:
BIVACUUM. It is assumed to be an infinitive source of bivacuum fermions
with positive (BVF↑
S=1/2) and negative (BVF↓
S=−1/2) half-integer spins and
bivacuum bosons (BVB±
S=0) of two possible polarization ( ±) and zero spin.
The (BVF↑) and (BVF↓) are introduced in our model as a correlated pairs
ofin-phase circulations of quantum liquid, but in two opposite directi ons:
i.e. clockwise and anticlockwise ( ⇈and/dblarrowdwn), like:
BV F↑
(S=1/2)= [real rotor (V+
↑) +mirror rotor (V−
↑)]≡[V+⇈V−] (1)
2and:
BV F↓
(S=−1/2)= [real antirotor (V+
↓) +mirror antirotor (V+
↓)]≡[V+/dblarrowdwnV−]
(2)
correspondingly.
For the other hand, the (BVB±) of two possible polarization: (+) and ( −)
is formed by the pair of counter phase real and mirror circulations:
BV B±
S=0= [real rotor (V+
/arrowbothv) +mirror antirotor (V−
/arrowbothv)]≡[V+/arrowbothvV−] (3)
The BVB±with properties of Falaco soliton (Kiehn, 1998) is the inter me-
diate transition state between (BVF↑) and (BVF↓):
BV F↑
(S=1/2)⇋BV B±
S=0⇋BV F↓
(S=−1/2)(4)
1.1. Quantization of bivacuum
The energies of real and mirror rotors, forming bivacuum fer mions ( BV F/arrowbothv)
and bivacuum bosons ( BV B±) are quantized as quantum harmonic oscilla-
tors of positive and negative energy:
/parenleftbig
E+
V/parenrightbigi
n= +/planckover2pi1ωi

where: ωi
0andmi
0correspond to grand values of angle frequency and
effective mass of real and mirror rotors with quantum number n= 0.The
radiuses of corresponding rotors are: L+
V=/planckover2pi1/ m+
VcandL−
V=/planckover2pi1/m−
Vc
It leads from our theory, that the values of mi
0are equal to the rest mass
of (i) basic elementary particles, like electron, positron, qua rks, etc.
The symmetric bivacuum (in absence of vacuum symmetry shift ) is char-
acterized by the equality of resulting energy of bivacuum fe rmions and bi-
vacuum bosons to zero:
Ei
V=/parenleftbig
E+
V/parenrightbigi
n+/parenleftbig
E−
V/parenrightbigi
n= 0 (5)
This condition (5) of energetic symmetry means the absence o f matter
andprimordial bivacuum existing.
It follows from our theory, that in secondary vacuum, existing in pres-
ence of matter or antimatter and fields, the dynamic equilibr ium (4) is shifted
3to the left or to the right. This results in corresponding biv acuum symmetry
shift:
(∆mV) =/parenleftbig/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem+
V/vextendsingle/vextendsingle−/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem−
V/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/parenrightbig
/negationslash= 0 (6)
For such a case, real in presence of matter and fields, the eqs. (4a and 4b)
transform to:
/parenleftbig

The total energy of asymmetric secondary bivacuum in contrast to

However, the difference between sublevels of positive and ne gative vac-
uum sublevels (energetic gaps) is independent on vacuum sym metry shift.
This fact is responsible for keeping permanent the quantize d frequencies of
Bivacuum oscillations (BvO), radiating/absorbing as a res ult transitions be-
tween corresponding sublevels (section 1.4).
1.2. Neutrino and antineutrino: what is it ?
Neutrino and antineutrino are the neutral fermions with opp osite spins
(spirality) and very small (or even zero) mass, propagating in vacuum with
light velocity. Due to neutrality and small probability of s cattering any kind
of screens are transparent for neutrino/antineutrino.
We suppose that the uncompensated BV F↑andBV F↓, originated
from the equilibrium (4) shift to the left or to the right, cor respondingly,
may represent three generations of neutrino and antineutrino: the
electron’s ( νe,/tildewideνe), the muon’s ( νµ,/tildewideνµ) and tau-electron’s ( ντ,/tildewideντ).Their energy
and effective mass are directly related to zero-point mass of the electrons of
corresponding generation: ( m0)e,µ,τand may be quantized in similar way like
(4a and 4b):
4Eν,/tildewideν
e,µ,τ=±/planckover2pi1ων,/tildewideν
e,µ,τ(1
2+n) =±/parenleftbig

where ( m0)e,µ,τare the rest mass of [ e, µ, τ ] electrons; βe,µ,τ= (m0/MPl)2
e,µ,τ
is a gravitational fine structure constants, introduced in o ur theory of gravi-
tation.
Consequently, neutrinos ( νe,µ,τ) and antineutrinos ( /tildewideνe,µ,τ) represent cer-
tain perturbations of bivacuum symmetry (nonlocal or almos t nonlocal) of
opposite sign, induced by uncompensated BV F↑andBV F↓,correspond-
ingly:
(∆mV) =/parenleftbig/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem+
V/vextendsingle/vextendsingle−/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem−
V/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/parenrightbig

BV F↓>1 (7a)

V/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/parenrightbig
<0for/tildewideνe,µ,τ, when K ν⇋/tildewideν=BV F↑
BV F↓<1 (7b)
The curvature of vorticity for neutrinos at their effective m ass [(m±
ν)n=0
e,µ,τ=
βe,µ,τ(m0)e,µ,τ] tending to zero may be of cosmic scale:
Le,µ,τ=/planckover2pi1//bracketleftBig
βe,µ,τ(m0)e,µ,τc/bracketrightBig
→∞ (8)
In the interaction of neutrino with real target - only vortic es (V+) of
uncompensated BVF↑(eq.1),corresponding to real positive energy of bivac-
uum, may be effective.
It is shown, that the internal velocity of circulation of sub-quantum par-
ticles, forming vorticities [ V+and V−]e,µ,τ, of superfluid bivacuum is luminal
(Kaivarainen, 2000).
1.3. Virtual Bose condensation in bivacuum as a background o f
nonlocality
The condition of primordial bivacuum in the absence of matter is:
/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem+
V/vextendsingle/vextendsingle=/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem−
V/vextendsingle/vextendsingleand ∆mV=/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem+
V/vextendsingle/vextendsingle−/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem−
V/vextendsingle/vextendsingle= 0 (8a)
Theexternal resulting impulses (momentum) of all of three kind of sym-
metric bivacuum excitations: PBVB±,PBVF↑andPBVF↓are equal to zero,
5as far their external group velocity is zero. This means that external vir-
tual wave B length of these excitations, as a ratio of Plank co nstant to their
impulse is tending to infinity:
λext
BC=h/Pext
BV B±, BV F/arrowbothv→∞ (9)
It is shown in our work, using Virial theorem , that corresponding to
(9) infinive virtual Bose condensation (BC) of bivacuum, whe reλextis a
parameter of order, coincide with condition of nonlocality . We define non-
locality, as independence of any potential in BC (real or vir tual) on distance:
V(r) =const.
Deviation of secondary vacuum from ideal symmetry (8a) lead s toPext
BV B±, BV F/arrowbothv>
0 and disassembly of infinitive virtual BC to huge, but finite v irtual BC:
λext
BC=h/Pext
BV B±, BV F/arrowbothv/negationslash=∞The values of λext
BCare dependent on potentials
of gravitational, electromagnetic and torsion fields.
1.4. Quantization of energetic gap of bivacuum.
Bivacuum gap Oscillation (BvO)
The rotors ( V+
/arrowbothv) and antirotors ( V+
/arrowbothv) of two possible polarization ( ↑and
↓) in realms of positive (real) and negative (mirror) vacuum, are separated
from each other by quantized energetic gap, the same (or very close)
in primordial and secondary vacuum (see eqs. 4a, 4b and 6a, 6b ):
(An
V)i=/bracketleftbig/parenleftbig
m+
V/parenrightbign−/parenleftbig
m−
V/parenrightbign/bracketrightbigic2=/planckover2pi1ωi

(10)
with radius of corresponding circulations of BVF/arrowbothvand BVB±:
(Ln
V)i=/planckover2pi1//bracketleftbig
mi
0(2n+ 1)c/bracketrightbig
=/planckover2pi1c/(An
V)i(11)
The important notion of Bivacuum oscillations (BvO) is intro-
duced as a symmetric oscillations of bivacuum energetic gap (An
V)i, resulting
from transitions between the ground gap with n= 0 and n= 1,2,3...
The energy of ground BvO for selected basic level ( i) from (10) is:
Ai
BvO= (An
V−A0
V)i= 2n/planckover2pi1ωi
0= 2n mi
0c2(12)
The resonant frequencies of BvO ( ωi
0) are dependent on the kind of basic
level ( i) of bivacuum, related directly to the rest mass of basic elem entary
particles (three generation of the electrons and positrons (e, µ, τ ), quarks,
etc.):
ωi
0=mi
0c2//planckover2pi1 (13)
6The symmetric bivacuum excitations: BVB±,BVF↑and BVF↓may have
a broad spectra of energetic gaps and related radiuses (from microscopic to
cosmic ones), determined by the effective mass of excitation s (m+
Vandm−
V)
in 4a and 4b and corresponding resonant frequencies (2 n ωi
0).
The vacuum symmetry shift (6) in the presence of matter or fiel ds is not
accompanied by BvO symmetry perturbation as far the differen ce between
sublevels remains unchanged. However, the frequency and am plitude of BvO
may be modulated by vibro-gravitational waves (VGW), excit ed by collective
particle oscillations (see section 4.4).
1.5. Virtual particles and antiparticles of bivacuum.
Excitation of Virtual pressure waves (VPW) by Bivacuum
oscillations
The virtual particles and antiparticles [ origination ⇋annihilation ] is a
result of correlated transitions between rotors in realms o f positive and neg-
ative energy:/bracketleftbig

ingly, accompanied by fluctuations of bivacuum virtual pres sure. These quan-
tum transitions occur between BV B±

kor between BV F/arrowbothv
jand
BV F/arrowbothv
kwith different energetic gaps and radiuses. Such transition states, re-
sponsible for virtual particles and antiparticles (virtua l bosons and fermions)
origination/annihilation, are termed Virtual Transitons (VT±).
It is obvious, that corresponding virtual density/pressur e oscillations are
related directly to radiation/absorption of the Bivacuum o scillations (BvO)
with energy:
∆Aj,k
BvO= (Aj
V−Ak
V)i= 2n/planckover2pi1ωi
0(j−k) = 2mi
0c2(j−k) (14)
In private case, when k= 0 the (eq.14) turns to formula for basic BvO
(12).
Virtual pressure, related to virtual particles and those, r elated
to antiparticles totally compensate each other in conditio n of pri-
mordial bivacuum, when vacuum symmetry shift is zero. Howev er,
in secondary bivacuum, in presence of matter and fields when i n-
equality (6) take a place, such compensation is broken and pr essure
of virtual particles or antiparticles becomes nonzero. This displays,
for example, in Casimir effect.
Propagation of BvO of resonant amplitude, accompanied by virtual par-
ticles and antiparticles origination and annihilation, oc cur in bivacuum with
velocity, limited by the life-times of corresponding virtu al particles/antiparticles.
7The relation between the life time of virtual pair (∆ t) and energy of pair
(∆Aj,k
BvO) is determined by uncertainty principle:
∆t∆Aj,k
BvO≥/planckover2pi1 (15)
The nonresonant sub-quantum BvO in bivacuum virtual Bose
condensate, unable to excite BVF/arrowbothvof BVB±to next quantum state,
are nondissipative and nonlocal.
At certain quantum boundary conditions, satisfying the con servation laws,
thetransaction between emitter and absorber of nonlocal BvO via bivac-
uum may lead to system of standing BvO origination (Cramer, 1 988).
2. Origination of matter as a result of bivacuum symmetry shi ft.
2.1. Sub-elementary particles and antiparticles
Our model postulates, that the sub-elementary particles and sub-
elementary antiparticles in corpuscular [C] phase represent the asymmet-
rically excited bivacuum fermions:
/parenleftbig
BVF↑/parenrightbig∗≡F−
↑or/parenleftbig
BVF↓/parenrightbig∗≡F+
↓ (16)
in form of [real ( m+
C) + mirror ( m−
C)] mass-dipole with opposite spins ( S=
±1
2) and charge ( e±). The spatial image of this mass-dipole is a correlated
dynamic pair: [real vortex + mirror rotor] (Kaivarainen, 20 00).
The real inertial ( m+
C) and inertialess ( m−
C) mass are the result of bi-
vacuum symmetry shift, accompanied by sub-elementary part icle or sub-
elementary antiparticle origination. The latter is depend ent on the sign of
shift.
The asymmetrically excited bivacuum bosons:
(BVB±)∗≡B±(17)
represent the intermediate or transition state between sub -elementary fermions
of opposite spins:
F−
↑⇋B±⇋F+
↓ (17a)
The electron, in accordance to our model, is a triplet
e−=/angbracketleft[F−
↑⊲ ⊳F+
↓] +F−
↓/angbracketright (18)
formed by two negatively charged sub-elementary fermions o f opposite spins
(F−
↑andF−
↓) and one sub-elementary antifermion ( F+
↓) with positive charge .The
8symmetric pair of standing sub-elementary fermion and sub- elementary an-
tifermion:
[wave+antiwaveB ]≡/bracketleftbig
F−
↑⊲ ⊳F+
↓/bracketrightbig
(18a)
are pulsing between Corpuscular [C] and Wave [W] states in-p hase, compen-
sating the influence of energy, spin and charge of each other. Notation ( ⊲ ⊳)
means such compensation. However it is not total due to vacuu m symmetry
shift, produced by the uncompensated sub-elementary parti cle. Deviation
of total compensation increases with particle velocity and fields tension, in-
creasing symmetry shift.
The positron may be presented as asymmetric form of the elect ron (18),
however, with uncompensated sub-elementary antifermion ( F+
↑):
e+=/angbracketleft[F−
↑⊲ ⊳F+
↓] +F+
↑/angbracketright (18b)
Theu−quark is considered as superposition of two µor/and τpositron
like structures
u= [e++e+]µ,τZ= +2/3 (18c)
andd−quarks may be composed from two electron and one positron ( µ
or/and τ) like structures:
d= [(e−+e−) +e+]µ,τ Z=−1/3 (18d)
It is supposed, that each uncompensated sub-elementary fer mions/antifermion
of quarks has elementary charge: ±Z=±1/3.
It leads from our model, that elementary particles with ferm ion properties
are composed from non equal number of sub-elementary partic les and with
boson properties - from their equal number.
For example photon, resulting from annihilation of the elec tron with
positron may be considered as a system of three pairs of sub-e lementary
fermions and antifermions:
photon = 3[F−
↑⊲ ⊳F+
↓]e= 0; S= 1 (18e)
The value of spin of photon S= 1 may be explained by the in-phase
rotation of both sub-elementary particles, forming one pai r [F−
↑⊲ ⊳F+
↓] in
contrast to other two pairs with antiphase rotation of F−
↑andF+
↓.
The symmetry of our bivacuum as respect to probability of ele -
mentary particles and antiparticles origination, makes it principally
different from asymmetric Dirac’s vacuum, with its realm of n ega-
tive energy saturated with electrons. Positrons in his model represent
the ’holes’, originated as a result of the electrons jumps in realm of positive
energy.
92.2. Dynamic model of Corpuscle ⇋Wave: [C ⇋W] duality
I supposed, that duality do not display itself, depending si mply on the
experimental way of particle detection, when both properti ed are embedded
in particle permanently, as it was generally accepted. In my model it is
assumed, that the corpuscular [C] and wave [W] phases of sub- elementary
particles/antiparticles represent two alternative phase of de Broglie wave
(wave B), which are in dynamic equilibrium (Kaivarainen, 19 93, 1995, 2000).
The frequency of [ C⇋W] pulsation (ωB) is equal to frequency of
quantum beats between asymmetric (BVF/arrowbothv)∗≡F±
/arrowbothvand symmetric (BVF/arrowbothv)
states of bivacuum sub-elementary fermions (F−
↑) and antifermions (F+
↓).
The energy of [C] phase, defined by this frequency, is a sum of energies
of real ( EC+) and mirror ( EC−) corpuscular states of asymmetrically excited
bivacuum fermion (F/arrowbothv).
For example:
EC=E(V+
/arrowbothv)∗+EV−
/arrowbothv=3
2/planckover2pi1ω+ (−1
2)/planckover2pi1ω=/planckover2pi1ωB (19)
where: EC+corresponds to energy of excited rotor ( V+
/arrowbothv)∗;EC−corre-
sponds to energy of antirotor in ground state ( V−
/arrowbothv), forming with ( V+
/arrowbothv)∗the
asymmetric sub-elementary fermion:
(F+
↑)≡[(V+
/arrowbothv)∗+ (V−
/arrowbothv)] (20)
or the asymmetric sub-elementary antifermion:
(F−
↓)≡[(V−
/arrowbothv)∗+ (V+
/arrowbothv)] (20a)
The energy of [W] phase of (F+
↑),existing in form of cumulative
virtual cloud (CVC) , is defined as the energy of transition between rotors
in excited real (V+
/arrowbothv)∗and ground (V+
/arrowbothv) states:
EW=E(V+
/arrowbothv)∗−EV+
/arrowbothv=3
2/planckover2pi1ω−1
2/planckover2pi1ω=/planckover2pi1ωB (21)
It is equal to energy of [C] phase ( EC). Consequently, the energy of both
phase: [C] and [W] are equal to energy of wave B: EB=EC=EW≡ECV C
.
2.3. Extension of special theory of relativity.
Corpuscular and Wave phase of sub-elementary particles
10Postulated in our work mass of rest ( m0)conservation law for sub-
elementary fermion (antifermion), presented by (20 and 20a ), interrelates

(antirotor) and mirror mass ( m−

of negative (positive) energy

Thereal (inertial) and mirror (inertialess) masses - change with
external group velocity ( v≡vgr) of sub-elementary particles, composing
particles in the counterphase manner, compensating each ot her:
real mass: m+
C=±m0/[1−(v/c)2]1/2(23)
mirror mass: m−
C=±m0[1−(v/c)2]1/2(23a)
The real mass ( m+
C) corresponds to the energy of excited positive vacuum
and the mirror mass ( m−
C) to the ground state of the negative vacuum.
Dividing eq.(23a) to (23), we get important relation betwee n real and
mirror mass:

where: E+

The first of these eqs. coincides with those, obtained by Dira c, the second
is a new one.
The another of (19-21) way to express the energy of sub-eleme ntary wave
B, following from 23b, is to consider it as a result of energy o f beats between
the real and mirror states with frequency ( ωB):

Corresponding transition state between real [C+] and mirror [C−] states
we define as a wave [W]-phase of wave B. This phase, in contrast to [C]-phase,
represents cumulative virtual cloud (CVC) of subquantum pa rticles, forming
superfluid vacuum.
11It easy to see from (23 and 23a) that/parenleftbig

We can see from (26), that the characteristic hidden dimensi on of [C]
phase and hidden dimension of [W] phase in form of CVC are equa l:L±≡

For nonrelativist elementary particles ( v << c ),the external L+
Cis much
shorter, than hidden L±
CV C, as it leads from 25a and 26:
L+
C/L±=v/c (27)
It may be shown from canonical representation of (23c) and (2 3d), that
spatial image, corresponding to real [C+] state is equilateral hyperbola
and spatial image of mirror [C−] state of [C] phase is a circle .
Spatial image of CVC, corresponding to [W] phase, considere d as a dif-
ference between images of [C+] and [C−] states is a parted (two-cavity)
hyperboloid (Kaivarainen, 2000).
The restoration of [C] - PHASE in form of [ real+mirror ] mass-dipole is a
result of binding of CVC to BVF in ground state, accompanied b y asymmetric
excitation of bivacuum fermion:
[BV F/arrowbothv+CV C][W→C]→F±

lations of kinetic energy and time, in accordance to our theo ry of time (see
eq. 46).

Propagation of fermion in bivacuum in a course of [ C⇋W] cycling
is a jump-way process, termed ’kangaroo effect’, because the [W] phase is
luminal in contrast to sub-luminal [C] phase. Our model unifi es electromag-
netic and gravitational potentials of elementary charge (e lectron) with its
real kinetic energy (equal to energy of CVC) and bivacuum sym metry shift
in very clear way.
Explanation of two-slit experiment
The bunched character of the electron’s trajectory can be a r esult of
impulses, produced by uncompensated sub-elementary particle ( F−
↓) in a
course of its [ C⇋W] pulsation. In accordance to our model, such pulsation
is accompanied by outgoing and incoming Cumulative Virtual Cloud (CVC).
Another possible explanation of bunched trajectory of the e lectron is the
interaction of pair/bracketleftbig

with Bivacuum oscillations (BvO), excited in
bivacuum spontaneously or by torsion and curling magnetic fi elds. The BvO
may be generated also by [ C⇋W] pulsations of other particles, including
those of two-slit screen. The energy of resonant bivacuum Bv O (ABvO,see
eqs. 12 and 14) may be absorbed by symmetric pair of sub-eleme ntary par-

in their wave [W] phase in triplets, turning them back to

may perturb
their properties, i.e. increasing momentum and kinetic ene rgy. The BvO
may change, consequently, the frequency of their [ C⇋W] pulsation near
resonance conditions (see eq.24).
It is a consequence of our model, that the energy and momentum of
the electron and positron (18 and 18b), are determined mostl y by uncom-
pensated sub-elementary particle ( F−

due to conservation of sym-

means that properties of uncompensated sub-elementary fer mion ( F−

2.4. The electric and magnetic components of electromagnet ic
charge
The CVC, representing [W] phase is composed from Virtual Density
Waves (VDW) , responsible for electric component ( i) of elementary electro-
magnetic charge and from Virtual Symmetry Waves (VSW) , related to
magnetic component ( η) of resulting elementary charge. In contrast to VDW,
accompanied by real energy reversible change (eq.27c), the VSW (eq.27d) are
excited by oscillations of negative mirror energy in a cours e of [C⇋W] pul-
sation. We relate ( i) to real mass ( m+
C) and ( η) to mirror mass ( m−
C). The
product of two components is equal to resulting charge squar ed
i×η=e2=α/planckover2pi1c (28)
The electromagnetic fine structure constant is: α=e2//planckover2pi1c=e2/Q2,
where the total charge we define like: Q= (/planckover2pi1c)1/2.
2.5. Unification of electromagnetism and gravitation
(Kaivarainen, 2000; 2001)
We define the maximum of electromagnetic potential as the inter-
nal interaction energy between electric and magnetic fract ions of elementary
charge on the distance, determined by the mass-dipole radiu s (26):
Emax

L±=e2
L±= (29)

It leads from equations obtained, that small part of W-phase energy in
form of CVC, determined by electromagnetic fine structure co nstant ( α) as
a factor, is responsible for [ Emax
el] at the region of particle localization, deter-
mined by its Compton radius.
14The doubled real kinetic energy of elementary particle in general case of
its translational and rotational movement with angle frequency ( ωrot)
on the orbit with radius ( Lrot) may be presented as:

The maximum of gravitational potential of uncompensated sub-
elementary particle, close to that of elementary particle, we define as the
energy of gravitational attraction between real and corpus cular mass of [C]
phase, separated by wave B hidden mass-dipole dimension (26 ):

In contrast to Emax
el, defined by electromagnetic fine structure constant
(α=e2//planckover2pi1c), maximum of gravitational potential ( Emax
G) is determined by
introduced in our work (Kaivarainen, 1995, 2000) gravitational fine struc-
ture factor (βG=m2

We assume that the electromagnetic and gravitational poten tials de-
creases with distance ( R) like:
[Eel(r)and E G(r)] ˜− →r /r (31c)
where− →ris the unitary radius-vector.
For the case of macroscopic body as a system of interacting at oms and
molecules, the translational and rotational contribution s should be subdi-
vided to internal (microscopic) and external (macroscopic ) subcontributions.
The resulting gravitational potential of body, containing (i) par-
ticles, with total mass ( M), rotating on orbit with radius ( Rext
rot), will have
a shape:

15The contribution of internal translational and rotational (librational) dy-
namics may be comparable or bigger than the external ones. Ou r theory
predicts that the increasing of temperature of solid body ma y increase its
gravitational potential due to activation of thermal dynam ics of atoms and
molecules.
For the other hand, interaction of molecules of body with ele ctromagnetic
field (photons), increasing their polarizability and, cons equently, Van der
Waals interactions, will reduce molecular thermal dynamic s and the internal
kinetic energy of body. It should reduce also its gravitatio nal potential.
There are some experimental evidence, pointing, that the ab ove predictions
of my theory are right.
The gravitational factor ( βG=m2
0/M2
Pl) relates the mass symmetry shift/parenleftbig
m+
C−m−
C/parenrightbig
with vacuum symmetry shift ∆ mV= (m+
V−m−
V), which, in
turn, is dependent on equilibrium constant between bivacuu m fermions of
opposite spins ( KBV F↑⇋BV F↓=N+[BV F↑]

(32)
This shift is accompanied by the local [ BV F↑⇋BV F↓] equilibrium shift,
leading to similar shift of [ neutrino ⇋antineutrino ].
It means that local gravitational potential may be regulate d by torsion
(spin) field, influencing on vacuum symmetry shift, as a resul t of rotational
kinetic energy of particle or system of particles change in a ccordance to (31d).
In our approach, the spin (torsion) field (− →ES) may be defined simply
as a part of gravitational field, dependent on rotational kin etic energy of
body (internal and external).
Using (31d), we get the formula of torsion field:

Like the gravitational field, the torsion field is not nonloca l. Only nonres-
onant Bivacuum oscillations (BvO) are nonlocal in the scale of virtual Bose
condensate, where they are excited.
The influence of magnetic field, generated by gravitating bod y, on
bivacuum symmetry
16The [BV F↑⇋BV F↓] equilibrium may be changed also due to differ-
ence of interaction energy of curled magnetic field (− →H),generated by rotat-
ing body, with magnetic moments of virtual fermions (− →µV F) and virtual
antifermions (− →µV aF):
∆− →EH
G=− →H(N−− →µF−
↑−N+− →µF+
↓) (33)
This contribution to resulting gravitational potential is dependent on rel-
ative orientation of vectors of gravitational field polariz ation between two
interacting mass [− →E(M←→m)] and− →Hand of course the value of− →H
tension.
Consequently, in the presence of magnetic field, generated b y rotating
body the resulting gravitational potential may be expresse d as a sum of
three contributions:
EG= [Etr
G+Erot
G]in,ext±∆EH
G (33a)
Contribution of magnetic field to resulting gravitational p otential, defined
by (33), may have the opposite sign, than [ Etr
G+Erot
G]in,ext.It means, that
magnetic field, generated by body, may influence its gravitat ional potential
and effective mass, changing EG. This important result of our theory is
in total accordance with Searl effect, confirmed in experimen ts of de Palma,
Baurov (1998), Roshin and Godin (2000). These experiments a nd our theory
point to possibility of extraction of ’free’ energy from secondary bivacuum
due to its symmetry shift. The symmetry shift of primordial bivacuum
in the absence of matter and fields is zero in accordance to our theory (see
section 1.1).
The Einstein’s theory of general relativity did not take int o account such
factors as body rotation, its internal dynamics and generat ed by body mag-
netic field.
2.6. Interrelation between hidden and external parameters of
elementary particles.
Hidden Harmony as a Golden mean condition
It is shown in our work, that the internal ( vin
gr) and external ( v) group
velocities of sub-elementary particles, unified with light velocity via corre-
sponding phase velocities:
vin
grvin
ph=vgrvph=c2(34)
are interrelated with each other in a following manner:
17c
vingr=1
[1−(v/c)2]1/4(35)
at the Hidden Harmony conditions , when the internal (hidden) and
external group and phase velocities are equal:
vin
gr=vext
grand vin
ph=vext
ph (36)
equation transforms (35) to simple quadratic equation:
S2+S−1 = 0 (37)
or:S
(1−S)1/2= 1 (37a)
with solution, corresponding to Golden Mean
S= (v/c)2=v/vph= 0.618 (38)
At the Golden Mean realization, the mass symmetry shift of un compensated
sub-elementary particle is equal to the rest mass of element ary particle:
/bracketleftbig/parenleftbig/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem+
C/vextendsingle/vextendsingle−/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem−
C/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/parenrightbig

and:S= (v/c)2= (vgr/vph)in,ext=/bracketleftbigg2Tkin
Etot/bracketrightbiggs
= 0.618 (39a)
where the total energy of wave B is a sum of kinetic and potenti al ones:
Etot=Tkin+V.
Using (39) and (24) we get, that the frequency of [ C⇋W] pulsation
at Golden mean condition is determined by the rest mass of elementary
particle:
ωS
0=m0c2//planckover2pi1 (40)
We define this fundamental frequency of elementary particle s pulsation
asGolden mean frequency.
Form0,equal to mass of rest of the electron, the Golden mean frequen cy
is:ω0= 9.03·1020s−1.For quarks it is about three order higher. The latter
is close to Golden mean frequency of τ−electrons, as a possible components
of quarks in form of corresponding standing waves.
18The expressions for electromagnetic (29) and gravitationa l (31) potentials
also change in corresponding way at Hidden Harmony conditio ns:
ES
el=αm0c2ES
G=βm0c2(41)
Similarity between ES
Gand the energy of neutrino, as that of uncompen-
sated bivacuum fermion (eq. 7), points to participation of neutri no/antineutrino
in mechanism of gravitation.
¿From eq.(19), taking into account (40) we get the following expressions
for real ( m+

3. Bivacuum - Matter Interaction
3.1. Influence of bivacuum quantum oscillations on matter
properties
We put forward a hypothesis, that any kind of selected system, able
to self-assembly, self-organization and evolution: from a toms to
living organisms and from galactics to Universe - are tendin g to
condition of Hidden Harmony (28), displaying in Golden Mean re-
alization. Corresponding driving force may be named ”Harmonization
Force (HF)” . This force is a consequence of minimization of difference be -
tween external and internal action, i.e. minimization of re sulting action:
∆S=/vextendsingle/vextendsingleSin−Sext/vextendsingle/vextendsingle=/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem+
C/parenleftbig
vin
gr/parenrightbig2−m+
C(vext

This is accompanied by:
/vextendsingle/vextendsinglem+
C−m−
C/vextendsingle/vextendsingle→m0 (43a)
In accordance to our model (Kaivarainen, 1995; 2000), the in ternal (hid-
den) kinetic energy is a constant, specific for each kind of su b-elementary
particle:
2Tin
k=m+
C/parenleftbig
vin
gr/parenrightbig2=const (44)
19Consequently, condition (43) may be achieved only by change of external
kinetic energy: m+
C(vext
gr)2.The mechanism of corresponding driving Harmo-
nization force, in accordance to our theory, is related to in teraction of sub-
systems: bivacuum andmatter due to influence of Bivacuum oscillations
(BvO) with basic frequencies ( ωi
0), defined by the rest mass of elementary
particles (eq. 13), on frequency of [ C⇋W] pulsation of elementary particles,
forming matter. Under the permanent action of BvO synchroni zation of total
system [ bivacuum +matter ] occur. It is shown in theory of autooscillations
of nonlinear systems with many degrees of freedom (matter in our case), that
the resonance may take a place not only at the equality of exte rnal frequency
(ωi
0of BvO in our case) and internal Golden mean frequency (ωi
B=ωi
0)
of [C⇋W] pulsation, but at following combinations of external and i nternal
frequencies:
pωi
0=qω(1)
B (45)
pωi
0=qω(1)
B+rω(2)
B
p, q, r = 1,2,3...(integer numbers)
The resonant energy exchange between interacting elements of nonlinear
systems with many degrees of freedom, i.e. between nuclears and electrons,
atoms and molecules may occur. The energy exchange between d ifferent
degrees of freedom at resonance conditions may be displayed in coherent
change of external kinetic energy of clusters of atoms and mo lecules and
finally in acceleration of even macroscopic bodies, if the am plitude of BvO is
big enough. The latter may be achieved as a result of bivacuum transitons
excitation by the curled magnetic field, like in Searl effect ( Roshin and Godin,
2000).
Except the definite relations between the frequency of exter nal and in-
ternal frequencies (31), the resonant excitation of system (matter) needs
certain geometrical conditions , which exclude possible compensation of
the external field action by different elements of this system . The latter con-
ditions means that resonant interaction of BvO with macromo lecules, like
DNA and proteins, as well as with macroscopic systems may dir ect the evo-
lution of such systems geometry to Golden mean, inducing the changes of not
only in their dynamics, but also of spatial parameters. Cert ain demands to
three-dimensional parameters of systems with dissipation , interacting with
BvO, may be determined by the autooscillations regime conditions.
The described directed influence of Bivacuum oscillations w ith funda-
mental frequencies ( ωi
0) on elementary particles, their assembles in form of
atoms and molecules, affecting the dynamics and geometry of m icroscopic,
mesoscopic and macroscopic systems - could be a physical background
20for realization of Principle of Least Action.
3.2. Unification a of Electromagnetism and Gravitation with
Time, Space and Mass
Analysis of principle of Least action in Lagrange form and pr inciple of
uncertainty in coherent form for free particle ( V= 0) leads us to formulation
of pace of time ( dt/t=dlnt) as a measure of the system’s real kinetic energy
pace of change:
dlnt=−dlnTkin=dlnm+
C+ 2dlnL+(46)
where the real kinetic energy T+
kin=/planckover2pi12/2m+
CL2is related with space
parameter - the radius of wave B length as: L+=/planckover2pi1/m+
Cv
It is easy to show, that at permanent velocity v=const, the real mass
m+
Cand real space L+are also constant and, consequently, the time: t=
const.
Increasing of wave B length of elementary systems (particle s) means in-
creasing the probability of their Bose condensation and uni fication. At crit-
ical values of wave B length, the process, like 1st order phas e transition of
matter, takes a place (Kaivarainen, 1995, 2000).
Taking into account (29) and (31), we get from (46) simple, symmetric
and very important formula of unification of temporal field
change of any closed system with changes of its electromagne tic
and gravitational potential, mass and space:
dlnt=−dlnTkin=−dlnEel=−dlnEG=dlnm+
C+ 2dlnL+(47)
Resistance of Bivacuum Symmetry to Perturbation, as Reason of
Inertia
The inertial property of real mass (m+
C) of [C] phase in our model is a
consequence of bivacuum symmetry reaction to real kinetic e nergy increasing
(m+
Cv2) and corresponding increasing of CVC energy of [W] phase, ne cessary
to keep [ C⇋W] equilibrium. Such tendency to keep dynamic [ C⇋W]
equilibrium of sub-elementary particles, corresponding t o certain bivacuum
symmetry shift, in spite of external perturbation of this eq uilibrium, we
termed generalized principle of Le Chatelier (Kaivarainen, 2000) .
The bivacuum symmetry resistance to perturbation, respons ible for in-
ertia, is a distant, but not nonlocal effect. In contrast to no nlocal Mach’s
21principle, our theory explains the existence of inertial ma ss even for only
one particle in the empty Universe. We do not need to apply in o ur the-
ory to mass producing Higgs-like fields also. The equality of inertial and
gravitational mass leads naturally from our theory of gravi tation and inertial
mass.
4. Influence of Matter on Bivacuum Properties.
4.1. Positive and negative Casimir effects, Virtual Jet Gene rator
The decreasing of bivacuum virtual pressure in space betwee n
close and parallel conducting plates, as respect to virtual pressure
outside the plates, explains the Casimir attractive (posit ive) ef-
fect. Increasing the Bivacuum oscillations (BvO) symmetry and ma king
them more coherent in space between plates may be induced by the
coherent [ C⇋W] pulsation of the electrons of conducting plates.
It leads to decreasing of probability of uncompensated (asy mmetric) vir-
tual transitons (VT) excitation. This determines the effect ive value of den-
sity/pressure of virtual particles or antiparticles betwe en conducting plates.
In contrast to this situation, it is known that cavities with some special
geometry, like two close hemispheres - increase the probabi lity of virtual par-
ticles and antiparticles origination in bivacuum, leading to repulsion between
hemispheres (Lamoreaux, 1997). We termed like phenomena as negative
Casimir effect (Kaivarainen, 2000).
It was supposed, that each of two hemispheres or other asym-
metric structures, like open cones, pyramids, etc. may serv e as
Virtual Jet Generators (VJG), increasing the uncompensate d frac-
tion of virtual pressure (VP). If so, they may be used for extr ac-
tion of free energy from bivacuum and propulsion in bivacuum
(Kaivarainen, 2000; 2001). Consequently, between subsyste ms: bivacuum
and matter the feedback reaction is existing.
4.2. Virtual replica (VR) of condensed matter
Three contributions to Virtual Replica (VR), generated by m at-
ter, are introduced:
1)local - electromagnetic contribution in form of IR photons radiat ion of
any bodies with absolute temperature T >0). This contribution is dissipating
quickly with distance;
2)distant - vibro-gravitational in form of modulated resonant Bivacu um
oscillations (BvO), generated the virtual pressure waves ( VPW). Another
distant factors of VR are modulated energy of neutrino, as un compensated
22bivacuum fermions (BVF↑) and oscillation of [ neutrino ⇋antineutrino ]
equilibrium constant.
The/bracketleftbig
BV F↑⇋BV F↓/bracketrightbig
equilibrium constant, equal to that of [ neutrino ⇋
antineutrino ] (see eqs. 7a and 7b) is a function of bivacuum symmetry shift :
KBV F↑⇋BV F↓=[BV F↑]
[BV F↓]=Kν⇋/tildewideν=f(∆mV) (48)
Corresponding equilibrium may be modulated by vibro-gravi tational and
magnetic field of matter;
3)nonlocal contribution to VR may be related to nonresonant pertur-
bation of Bivacuum oscillations (BvO) without changing the scale of Virtual
Bose Condensate, formed by BVF and BVB.
The second and third type of VR represent superposition of N- dimensional
standing vibro-gravitational waves (VGW) and modulated VP W, correspond-
ingly. The N is a number of virtual degrees of freedom in bivac uum, excited
by matter in bivacuum. Consequently, VR has the N-dimension alhologram
properties. In this point our theory is close to ideas, devel oped by Bohm.
At resonant conditions BvO are responsible for energy, dens ity of virtual
particles (virtual transitons) and virtual pressure, prov iding the feedback
influence of BVR on matter, including living organisms. All k inds of BVR
are the result of coherent [ C⇋W] transitions of quasisymmetric pairs [ F−

, modulated by molecular dynamics of
condensed matter, related with properties of uncompensate d sub-elementary

The resulting Pointing vector (− →Pres

This inequality determines the difference between energy an d pressure of
virtual particles and antiparticles, due to asymmetry of Bv O, generated by
coherent [ C⇋W] pulsation of [ F−
↑andF+
↓]∗.
The bigger is gravitational potential of body , the bigger is induced
by it resulting bivacuum symmetry shift: EG˜ ∆mVc2and absolute value
of excessive/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle− →Pres
e−m/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsinglein (48a).
The 3D spatial structure of body and its composition may be re-
sponsible for value and sign of Casimir effect, decreasing or increasing the
23resulting virtual pressure of bivacuum, generated by gravi tating body. Ro-
tation of this body will increase the above effect as a result its particles
kinetic energy increasing.
The electromagnetic field , generated by rotating body may increase
the probability of transitions between bivacuum energy sub levels, density of
virtual particles/antiparticles and resulting (noncompe nsated) virtual pres-
sure around the body.
Our notion of bivacuum symmetry shift and its consequences h ave some
similarity with notion of Polarizable Vacuum (PV), introdu ced by Puthoff
(1999). The PV approach means, in principle, the possibilit y of space-time
metric ”engineering” by changing vacuum permittivity: ε0→Kε0and per-
meability: µ0→Kµ0, where Kis a variable vacuum dielectric constant
(Puthoff, Little and Ibison, 2000). If K >1 (K≈1 + 2GM/rc2in solar
system), this decreases the values of light velocity, frequ ency of photons, en-
ergy, length, pace of time and increases the mass of body, as r espect to the
values of same parameters of body in the absence of gravitati onal field, when
K= 1.
In terms of our theory K >1,corresponds to positive vacuum symmetry
shift and K= 1 corresponds to vacuum symmetry shift equal to zero. At
condition K < 1 (negative vacuum symmetry shift) all the above listed
parameters, related to space-time metric, change in opposi te direction as
respect to K >1.
It leads from our Hierarchic theory of condensed matter (see http://arXiv.org/abs/physics/0003044
that each of 24 collective quantum excitations, introduced in new theory, is
characterized by specific coherent oscillations and corres ponding averaged
kinetic energy ( Ti
kin).Each of these contributions to resulting gravitational
potential may be evaluated separately. Our Hierarchic theo ry of condensed
matter in combination with described model of duality allow s the quantita-
tive evaluation of distant component of vacuum replica: Vib ro - Gravitational
Replica (VGR).
4.3. Main features of Hierarchic theory of condensed matter
A basically new hierarchic quantitative theory, general fo r solids and
liquids, has been developed (Kaivarainen, 2000a). It was as sumed, that
anharmonic oscillations of particles in any condensed matt er lead to emer-
gence of three-dimensional (3D) superposition of standing de Broglie waves of
molecules, electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Consequen tly, any condensed
matter could be considered as a gas of 3D standing waves of cor responding
nature. Our approach unifies and develops strongly the Einst ein’s and De-
bye’s models.
24Collective excitations in form of coherent clusters, repre senting at certain
conditions the mesoscopic molecular Bose condensate, were analyzed, as a
background of hierarchic model of condensed matter.
The most probable de Broglie wave (wave B) length is determin ed by the
ratio of Plank constant to the most probable impulse of molec ules or by ratio
of its most probable phase velocity to frequency. The waves B are related to
molecular translations (tr ) and librations (lb). As the qua ntum dynamics
of condensed matter does not follow in general case the class ical Maxwell-
Boltzmann distribution, the real most probable de Broglie w ave length can
exceed the classical thermal de Broglie wave length and the d istance between
centers of molecules many times. This makes possible the atomic and
molecular mesoscopic Bose condensation in solids and liqui ds at
temperatures, below boiling point. It is one of the most important
results of new theory, which we have confirmed by computer sim ulations
on examples of water and ice and the Virial theorem. Four strongly in-
terrelated new types of quasiparticles (collective excita tions) were
introduced in our hierarchic model:
1.Effectons (tr and lb) , existing in ”acoustic” (a) and ”optic” (b) states
represent the coherent clusters in general case ;
2Convertons , corresponding to interconversions between trandlbtypes
of the effectons (flickering clusters);
3.Transitons are the intermediate [ a⇋b] transition states of the trand
lbeffectons;
4.Deformons are the 3D superposition of IR electromagnetic or acoustic
waves, activated by transitons and [lb ⇋tr]convertons.
Primary effectons (tr and lb) are formed by 3D superposition of the
most probable standing de Broglie waves of the oscillating i ons, atoms or
molecules. The volume of effectons (tr and lb) may contain fro m less than
one, to tens and even thousands of molecules. The first condit ion means
validity of classical approximation in description of the s ubsystems of the
effectons. The second one points to quantum properties of coh erent clusters
due to molecular Bose condensation.
It leads from our computer simulations, that liquids are sem iclassical
systems because their primary (tr) effectons contain less th an one molecule
and primary (lb) effectons - more than one molecule. The solid s are quan-
tum systems totally because both kind of their primary effect ons (tr and lb)
are mesoscopic molecular Bose condensates. It is shown, tha t the 1st order
[gas→liquid ] transition is accompanied by strong decrease of libration al
(rotational) degrees of freedom due to emergence of primary (lb) effectons.
In turn, the [ liquid→solid] transition is followed by decreasing of transla-
25tional degrees of freedom due to molecular mesoscopic Bose- condensation in
form of primary (tr) effectons.
In the general case the effecton can be approximated by paral-
lelepiped with edges corresponding to de Broglie waves leng th in
three selected directions (1, 2, 3), related to the symmetry of the
molecular dynamics.
The in-phase oscillations of molecules in the effectons corr espond to the
effecton’s (a) - acoustic state and the counterphase oscillations correspond to
their (b) - optic state. States (a) and (b) of the effectons differ in potential
energy only, however, their kinetic energies, impulses and spatial dimensions
- are the same. The ( a→b) or (b→a) transition states of the primary
effectons (tr and lb), defined as primary transitons, are acco mpanied by a
change in molecule polarizability and dipole moment withou t density fluc-
tuation. In this case the transitions lead to absorption or r adiation of IR
photons, respectively.
Superposition of three internal standing IR photons, penet rating in dif-
ferent directions (1,2,3) - forms primary electromagnetic deformons (tr and
lb). On the other hand, the [lb ⇋tr]convertons andsecondary transitons are
accompanied by the density fluctuations, leading to absorption or radiation
of phonons .
Superposition of standing phonons in three directions (1,2,3), forms sec-
ondary acoustic deformons (tr and lb). Correlated collective excitations
of primary and secondary effectons and deformons (tr and lb) ,localized in
the volume of primary trandlb electromagnetic deformons ,lead to origina-
tion of macroeffectons, macrotransitons andmacrodeformons (tr and
lb respectively) .
Correlated simultaneous excitations of tr and lb macroeffec tons in the
volume of superimposed trandlbelectromagnetic deformons lead to orig-
ination of supereffectons. In turn, the coherent excitation of both: tr
andlbmacrodeformons and macroconvertons in the same volume mean s cre-
ation of superdeformons. Superdeformons are the biggest (cavitational)
fluctuations, leading to microbubbles in liquids and to loca l defects in solids.
Total number of quasiparticles of condensed matter equal to 4!=24, re-
flects all of possible combinations of the four basic ones [1- 4], introduced
above. This set of collective excitations - is proved to be ab le to explain
virtually all the properties of condensed matter. It is quan titatively verified
on examples of water and ice in wide T-interval: 5-373 K, usin g new the-
ory based computer program (copyright, 1997, Kaivarainen) . Our hierarchic
concept creates a bridge between micro- and macro- phenomen a, dynamics
and thermodynamics, liquids and solids in terms of quantum p hysics.
264.4. Modulation of matter-induced Bivacuum oscillations
by Vibro-Gravitational Waves (VGW).
The vibro-gravitational waves Ai
V GWwith frequency of order: νV GW˜ 1012s−1,
related with thermal vibrations of atoms and molecules of co ndensed matter, modulate
the high-frequency [ C⇋W] pulsation ( νC⇋W˜ 1021s−1˜ω0) of elementary
particles. In turn, the matter-generated and thermally mod ulated Bivac-
uum oscillation (BvO) pattern superimpose with basic BvO of Golden mean
quantized frequency ( ω0):
(n+1
2)ω0= (n+1
2)m0c2//planckover2pi1 (49)
Corresponding resulting superposition contains informat ion about matter
properties and may be termed ”Virtual replica (VR)” of matter .
For each of 24 selected collective excitation of condensed m atter, con-
sidered in our Hierarchic theory of condensed matter (Kaiva rainen, 2000b),
the averaged thermal vibrations contribution to gravitati onal potential of
particles, can be evaluated:
Ai
V GW=β2Ti
kin (50)
The equation for total internal kinetic energy of condensed matter is a
sum of contributions of each of 24 excitation. It may be calcu lated, using
our computer program (Kaivarainen, 1995; 2000a).
The most effective source of vibro-gravitational waves (VGW ) are coher-
ent clusters, existing in liquids ( librational primary effectons ) and solids
(librational and translational primary effectons ) as a result of high -
temperature mesoscopic Bose condensation. Primary transitons , represent-
ing transition state between optic (b) and acoustic (a) mode s of the primary
effectons and convertons - transition states between primary librational
and translational effectons also may generate VGW and vibro- gravitational
replica (VGR) in bivacuum. Due to coherency of VGW, excited i n bivacuum
by listed kind of excitations, they may form a hologram-like system of stand-
ing waves - VGR. Other excitations of condensed matter are no t so coherent.
Their VGW can not form standing waves and their VGR are not sta ble. This
means that corresponding ’memory’ of bivacuum is very short .
Taking this into account, the energy of vibro-gravitationa l waves (as a
part of CVC energy), generated by one mole of condensed matte r may be
calculated (Kaivarainen, 2000a):

the direct correlation is existing. Such correlation is a re sult of highly
correlated dynamics of sub-elementary particles, composi ng particles. The
mass, charge and other properties of elementary particle ar e determined by

The sum of contributions, generated by [C⇋W] pulsations of number
(i) of coherent pairs of sub-elementary particles: [ V+⊲ ⊳V−], to amplitude of
basic Golden mean bivacuum oscillations ( ABvO) - determines the amplitude

and virtual pressure waves (VPW), ex-

28hologram properties. We termed this hologram as Virtual rep lica (VR) of
condensed matter. It reflects the matter dynamic properties . Any changes
of these properties are accompanied by change of VR, i.e. holomovement
after Bohm.
4 .5. Different components of biological cells as a possible v irtual
jet generators
Our Hierarchic Model of Consciousness - HMC (Kaivarainen, 2 000c) is
based on Hierarchic theory of condensed matter (Kaivaraine n, 1995; 2000b).
In accordance to this theory, coherent properties of water c lusters in micro-
tubules (MT) and distant exchange by IR photons, radiated by these clusters
(mesoscopic molecular Bose condensate - MBC) may be respons ible for dis-
tant interaction between MT of different neurons and neuron e nsembles with
similar orientation of MT.
In accordance to our HMC, each specific kind of neuron ensembl es exci-
tation - corresponds to hierarchical system of three-dimen sional (3D) stand-
ing waves of following interrelated kinds: thermal de Brogl ie waves (waves
B), produced by anharmonic vibrations of molecules; electr omagnetic (IR)
waves; acoustic waves and vibro-gravitational waves (Kaiv arainen, 2000b).
Corresponding complex hologram may be responsible for dist ant quantum
neurodynamics regulation and for morphogenetic field.
In our model we consider quantum collective excitations, re sulted from
coherent anharmonic translational and librational oscill ations of water in the
hollow core of the microtubules. It was shown, that water fra ction, related to
librations, represent mesoscopic molecular Bose condensa te (MBC) in form
of coherent clusters. The dimensions of water clusters (nan ometers) and
frequency of their IR radiation may be enhanced by interacti on with walls of
MT. It is most organized and orchestrated fraction of conden sed matter in
biological cells. The Brownian effects, which influence reor ientation of MT
system and probability of cavitational fluctuations, stimu lating [gel - sol]
transition in nerve cells - may be responsible for non-compu tational element
of consciousness. Other models (Wigner, 1955 and Penrose, 1 994) relate this
element to wave function collapse.
Change of the ordered fraction of water in microtubules in fo rm of MBC,
leads to [gel-sol] transition, related to reversible assem bly - disassembly of
actin microfilaments, change of osmotic pressure, pulsatio n of cells volume
and membranes deformation. Corresponding ”holomovement” of Virtual
replica (VR) of living organism may be responsible for mind- matter in-
teraction, telepathy and other phenomena, related to parap sychology. The
29bigger is number of MTs with similar orientation of coherent ly interacting
cells, the bigger is corresponding fraction of ordered wate r, very sensitive
to nerve excitation. There are evidence, pointing that spat ial properties of
DNA and MTs follow the Golden mean rule (see web site of Dan Win ter
http://www.danwinter.com/). In accordance to our results , it is a condition,
optimal for exchange interaction of matter with bivacuum by Bivacuum os-
cillations (BvO).
Consequently, DNA, chromosomes, microtubules and bunches of MTs
may serve as effective virtual jet generators (VJG), increas ing virtual pres-
sure in selected direction. It may be due to existing of libra tional effectons
and high frequency conversions between librational and tra nslational water
effectons in MT. The collective contribution of MT, related t o librational
kinetic energy of coherent water, in Virtual replica of living organisms
may be significant. This contribution for one mole of water ma y be calculated
like (Kaivarainen, 2000):

The charged bilayer membranes of biological cells, includi ng
neurons and axons have a properties of system of Casimir cham bers
of variable geometry. At certain conditions (i.e. depolari zation)
they may provide also the cumulative virtual jet effect.
At the ”rest” condition of cells the resulting concentratio n of internal
anions of neurons is bigger than that of external ones, provi ding the difference
of potentials equal to 50-100mV. As far the thickness of memb rane is only
about 5nm or 50 ˚A it means that the gradient of electric tension is about:
100.000V/sm
i.e. it is extremely high. Depolarization of membrane usual ly is related to
penetration of Na+ions into the cell. The processes of depolarization, ac-
companied by pulsation of nerve cell body, -change the properties of mem-
branes as Casimir chambers and, consequently, the virtual r eplica of cell.
The virtual replica of all cells, involved in nerve excitati on, in-
cluding acupuncture points, change in-phase with correspo nding
elementary acts of consciousness.
305. Possible mechanism of Bivacuum mediated Matter-Matter
and Mind-Matter interaction
The virtual replica (VR) of condensed matter (living organi sms
in private case), may influence properties of uncompensated (effec-
tive) virtual pressure in following ways:
1) changing the amplitude of virtual pressure waves (VPW) in -phase with
Bivacuum oscillations (BvO). This factor is dependent on fr action of coherent
particles in system with in-phase [ C⇋W] transitions. The important role
of Mind-Matter and Mind-Mind interaction is related to cohe rent fraction
of water in microtubules in state of mesoscopic molecular Bo se condensate.
This fraction is a variable parameter, specific for kind of el ementary act of
consciousness;
2) changing bivacuum symmetry shift, related to [ BV F↑⇋BV F↓]≡
[neutrino ⇋antineutrino ] equilibrium shift, induced by magnetic field
of matter variation. Decreasing/increasing of the vacuum s ymmetry shift
will be accompanied by decreasing/increasing of the effecti ve uncompensated
VPW energy;
3) shifting the Golden mean resonance conditions of [matter - bivacuum]
interaction by exchange of BvO, as a result of spatial pertur bation of matter,
changing the frequency of [ C⇋W] pulsations of its elementary particles.
This factor may increase or decrease the amplitude of BvO and , consequently,
the amplitude of virtual pressure waves (VPW).
If geometry and other properties of matter provide the nega-
tive (repulsion) Casimir effect, corresponding virtual jet generation
(VJG) increases the above described manners of influence of m at-
ter on virtual pressure waves (VPW).
The deviation of virtual replica (VR) in form of standing VPW
from ”Virtual Noise” of bivacuum and a life-time of VR are de-
pendent on the scale of coherent molecular/atomic excitati ons in
biosystems, i.e. amplitude of VR and proximity of character is-
tic frequencies of VR to fundamental Golden mean frequencie s of
BvO, i.e. the effectiveness of resonant matter-bivacuum ene rgy
exchange.
Combination of the described above three factors of virtual replica (VR),
generated, for example by ’sender’: crystal, water or human Mind, may
change a strong, weak and electromagnetic interaction betw een quarks, el-
ementary particles, atoms and molecules of ’receiver’, its inertial mass and
gravitational potential.
31Distant Mind-Matter interaction, including telekinesis, may be related to
dependent on human will changes of cumulative virtual pressure waves
(VPW) parameters.
It is obvious that parameters of VR of Mind are much more varia ble than
those of Matter. They are dependent of human will and are more adjustable
for maximum of Mind-Matter interaction.
In more conventional terminology (Puthoff, Little, Ibison, 2000) the Mind
activity may change vacuum dielectric constant to value ( ±∆K), vacuum
permittivity to value ( ±∆ε0) and vacuum permeability to value ( ±∆µ0).In
turn, these vacuum changes affect the matter properties, exi sting in vacuum
medium.
Opposite by sign deviation of bivacuum properties from thos e, corre-
sponding to bivacuum symmetry shift equal to zero (∆ mV= 0), as a result
of complicated hierarchical processes (from microscopic t o macroscopic scale)
may be resulted in opposite change of velocity of radioactiv e decay, process of
phase transitions, kinetics of self-organization, rate of microorganisms divi-
sion, deviations of random number generator data from norma l distribution
and perturbation of many other cooperative collective proc esses.
It is predictable, that the value of Lamb shift, dependent on virtual par-
ticles screening of electromagnetic interaction in hydrog en like atoms, may
be used as indicator of Mind-Matter interaction, if the mech anism proposed
is right. However, the strong magnetic field, used in radiosp ectroscopy ex-
periments may ’screen’ the effect, induced by Mind. Another p ossible exper-
imental approach to detect bivacuum perturbation, related to Mind activity,
is the precise measurement of Casimir effect and its Mind indu ced variations.
6. Possible Mechanism of Mind-Mind Interaction (telepathy )
We assume, that the uncompensated due to bivacuum symmetry shift
virtual pressure waves (VPW) , excited by Bivacuum oscillations (BvO)
and dependent on their amplitude, may be responsible for dis tant subtle
interaction between living organisms.
The amplitude of BvO, modulated by matter is dependent on the :
1) number of coherent particles, participating in this spec ific kind of in-
teraction;
2) sharpness of resonance between [ C⇋W] pulsation of elementary
particles of matter and fundamental frequencies of BvO, equ al to Golden
mean frequencies ( ω0=m0c2//planckover2pi1)e,µ,τ.The latter factor is dependent, in turn,
on spatial-dynamic properties of matter or neuron’s organe lles in private case.
32The VR of orchestrated system of nerve cells -’senders’ , excited by
coherent water of their microtubules, membranes and synapt ic contacts and
perturbations of this VR as a result of series of elementary a cts of con-
sciousness induce corresponding changes in similar organe lles ofnerve cells
-’receivers’. There are experimental evidence that cavita tional fluc-
tuations, accompanied by sonoluminescence, playing in our Hier-
archic model of consciousness the important role in [gel-so l] transi-
tions, are related to quantum vacuum radiation (virtual pre ssure)
(Eberlein, 1996). As a result, the probability of the same co nse-
quence of consciousness acts as in Mind - Sender increases in Mind
of Receptor.
Modulated by vibro-gravitational field of microtubules and membranes
the all-penetrating neutrino is another probable mediator of subtle Mind-
Mind interaction. This modulation is most effective in a cour se of nerve cells,
including axons, excitation. Modulated by ’sender’ neutri no (a consequence
of uncompensated bivacuum fermion), leads to correspondin g modulation of
vacuum symmetry shift.
Vacuum symmetry shift oscillation induce in-phase oscilla tion of effec-
tive,uncompensated virtual pressure in water structure of microtubules,
membranes as Casimir chambers, etc. of ’receiver’.
The charged virtual particles density oscillation change c orrespondingly
the electromagnetic Van der Waals interaction between mole cules and the
rate of physicochemical processes in nerve cells of ’receiv er’. Just this sec-
ondary effect of modulated neutrino is important for Mind-Mi nd interaction.
In such a way the transmission of emotions and images from
Mind sender to Mind receiver may occur. The closer are VR frequency-
phase parameters of two or more interacting biosystems, the higher is prob-
ability of resonant VPW exchange interaction between such s ystems.
The Mind-Mind interaction, mediated by modulated BvO and ne utrino,
may be much more specific than in Mind-Matter interaction.
It may be most effective, when interacting persons are geneti cally close,
i.e. their nerve systems are tuned to each other on molecular , cell/subcell
levels, generating very close Virtual Replicas and with sim ilar reaction on
them.
7. Audio/Video Signals Skin Transmitter, based on Hierarch ic
model of consciousness
I proposed the idea of new device, where the laser beam with fr equency
of cavitational fluctuations and/or convertons and ultrawe ak intensity will
be modulated by acoustic and/or video signals. The modulate d output optic
33signals will be transmitted from laser to the nerve nodes of s kin, using wave-
guides. It is supposed that the nerve impulses, stimulated b y modulated
laser beam, can propagate via complex axon-synapse system t o brain centers,
responsible for perception and processing of audio and vide o information.
The long-term memorizing process also can be stimulated effe ctively by Skin
Transmitter.
The direct and feedback reaction between brain centers, res ponsible for
audio and video information processing and certain nerve no des on skin is
predictable. The coherent electromagnetic radiation of th ese nodes, including
the acupuncture one can be responsible for so-called aura.
One of the important consequence of our Hierarchic model of c onscious-
ness is related to radiation of ultraviolet and visible phot ons (”biophotons”)
as a result of water molecules recombination after their dis sociation. Disso-
ciation can be stimulated by cavitational fluctuation of wat er in the volume
of superdeformons, inducing reversible disassembly of mic rofilaments and
[gel-sol] transition. The frequency and intensity of this e lectromagnetic com-
ponent of biofield, in turn, can affect the kinetic energy of th e electrons,
emitted by skin in the process of Kirlian effect measurement. Our model
predicts, that the above mentioned stimulation of psi-acti vity by resonant
external radiation, should influence on colors and characte r of Kirlian pic-
ture, taken even from distant untreated by skin-transmitte r points of human
body. There are another resonant frequencies also, calcula ted from my Hier-
archic theory of matter, enable to stimulate big fluctuation s of water in MTs
and their disassembly.
Verification of these important consequences of our model an d making a
prototype of Audio/Video Signals Skin Transmitter is the in triguing task of
future. The practical realization of Audio/Video Signals S kin Transmitter
will be a good additional evidence in proof of HMC and useful f or lot of
people with corresponding disabilities.
The existence of distant Mind-Mind interaction may be prove d
by encephalogram registration and Kirlian effect. It is pred ictable,
that application of audio/video signals skin transmitter ( Kaivarari-
nen, 1999, 2000b), to acupuncture points, should be effectiv e reg-
ulator and stimulator of psi-abilities.

Abstract. We find that for simple metal clusters a single-electron desc ription of the
ground state employing self-interaction correction (SIC) in the framework of local-
density approximation strongly contaminates the high ener gy photoionization cross
sections with spurious oscillations for a subshell contain ing node(s). This effect is
shown connected to the unphysical structure that SIC genera tes in ensuing state-
dependent radial potentials around a position where the res pective orbital density
attains nodal zero. Non-local Hartree-Fock that exactly eliminates the electron self-
interaction is found entirely free from this effect. It is inf erred that while SIC is largely
unimportant in high photon-energies, any implementation o f it within the local frame
can induce unphysical oscillations in the high energy photo spectra of metal clusters
pointing to a general need for caution in choosing appropria te theoretical tools.

The local-density approximation (LDA), along with its time -dependent version, is a
standard theoretical technique to describe the structure a nd dynamics of large systems.
From a practical standpoint, LDA is typically preferred to o ther conventional many-
body methods (such as, Hartree-Fock (HF) or techniques base d on configuration-
interactions) because of its relatively low computational costs. In the context of
the studies involving static and dynamical properties of si mple metal clusters LDA
has proved to be particularly successful [1-3]. However, a w ell known drawback of
LDA is that it only partially accounts for unphysical electr on self-interactions. As a
consequence, the resulting potential for a finite system dec ays exponentially at large
distance instead of producing the physical 1 /rbehavior. To render the long distance
behavior of the LDA potential realistic, therefore, approx imation schemes have been
suggested [4]. The most general and widely applied to remedy the error is the one
proposed by Perdew and Zunger [5], which concerns an orbit-b y-orbit elimination of
self-interaction, although the scheme immediately makes t he potential state-dependent.
The self-interaction corrected LDA (LDA-SIC) improves rem arkably the vast variety
of results related to many structural properties of physica l systems: for instance,
§To whom correspondence should be addressed (himadri@mpipk s-dresden.mpg.de)Letter to the Editor 2
improvements in total energies of atoms, allowance for self -consistent bound solutions
for negative ions, prediction of orbital energies that are c lose to electron removal energies
thus restoring Koopmans’ theorem, ensuring dissociation o f heteronuclear molecules to
neutral fragments, improvement of the band gap in solids etc . (a good account in this
regard may be found through Ref. 4). In the dynamical regime t oo, especially in the
context of low-energy photoionization of simple metal clus ters, the description of the
electronic ground state via LDA-SIC results in important ma ny-body effects including
single electron Rydberg resonances [6,7].
At photon-energies well beyond the ionization threshold th e photospectrum shows
special qualitative behavior. For spherical jellium clust ers over this energy range theory
predicts a characteristic oscillation in the cross section with a frequency connected to
the cluster diameter. The mechanism behind this oscillator y pattern is the interference
of electron waves emanated from equivalent sites of the clus ter edge [8]. While there
has been no experimental study on metal clusters, oscillati ons in the photoelectron
intensity are indeed observed for fullerene molecules [9]. Generically, the high energy
photoionization process should be rather sensitive to the d egree of accuracy in the
description of the ground state. This can be understood from the fact that in an
independent particle model the high-energy transition mat rix element has a leading
contribution from the Fourier transform of the ground state wavefunction to the
photoelectron momentum space (or retarded-momentum space if non-dipole interactions
are included) [10]. From such an elementary viewpoint, LDA- SIC may also appear
to be a suitable tool for the high energy photoionization stu dies of various cluster
systems. However, this paper shows that while the correctio n for self-interaction is
virtually unimportant in the study of energetic photoioniz ation of metal clusters, any
approximation to it in a local frame can generate spurious os cillations in the cross
section for photoelectrons emerging from subshells having orbital node(s). The point is
illustrated by presenting calculations on Na 20, which can be well described by a spherical
jellium model, and which is the smallest system (1 s21p61d102s2) having one subshell (2 s)
with a node.
The usual single electron potential in the Kohn-Sham LDA for malism is
VKS(/vector r) =Vjel(/vector r) +Vd[ρ(/vector r)] +Vxc[ρ(/vector r)] (1)
where the terms on the right-hand-side are respectively jel lium, direct (Hartree)
Vd[ρ(/vector r)] =/integraltextd/vector r′ρ(/vector r′)/|/vector r−/vector r′|, and exchange-correlation potentials. The ground state
electronic density ρ(/vector r) is defined in terms of single-electron densities ρiand orbitals φi:
ρ(/vector r) =N/summationdisplay
i=1ρi(/vector r) =/summationdisplay
i|φi(/vector r)|2
As mentioned earlier, an approximate prescription for SIC t o this LDA potential (1)
is to eliminate orbitalwise from the outset those terms whic h represent an electron i
interacting to itself. The resulting orbital-specific pote ntials, therefore, are

The first term on the right-hand-side in the above expression is exactly derivable by a
variational approach from the HF exchange energy of a unifor m electron system with
a uniform positively charged background; the second term is the so called correlation
potential, a quantity not borne in HF formalism. We use LDA po tentials both with
and without SIC approximation to calculate the dipole photo ionization cross sections
upto approximately 1 KeV photon-energy for each subshell of the Na 20cluster in the
independent particle frame †. Calculations are also performed in the self-consistent HF
scheme to better identify the origin of the resulting discre pancy between the two LDA
predictions. Quantities are in atomic units throughout, ex cept where specified otherwise.
LDA and LDA-SIC cross sections for each of the 1 s, 1pand 1dsubshells are found
to be almost identical at high enough energies showing a sing le monotonic oscillation.
Results using HF for these subshells yield similar qualitat ive behavior. The situation,
however, is quite different for the 2 sphotoionization. Figure 1 presents 2 scross
sections as obtained through LDA, LDA-SIC, and HF, as a funct ion of 2sphotoelectron
momentum k2s=/radicalBig
2(E−I2s), withI2s(∼3.5 eV) being the 2 sionization threshold.
Generally, in the low-energy range for all subshells of Na 20HF predictions are different
from LDA owing to the partly non-identical ground state corr elation they account for
and this causes a constant phase difference between them at hi gher energies, where
such correlation effects are insignificant. Bearing this in m ind we find in figure 1 that
while LDA and HF again maintain the same trend oscillationwi se, LDA-SIC points
to a progressively strong qualitative difference starting r oughly from 40 eV photon-
energy. To identify closely the discrepancy between σ2swith and without SIC we have
evaluated the Fourier transforms of σ2s(k2s) (see figure 2). Both LDA and HF are seen
to have approximately the same Fourier spectrum with just on e peak. But LDA-SIC
contains three additional peaks beside the one that is commo n to all three spectra.
This common frequency is connected to the diameter of the clu ster. In fact, a simple
theoretical analysis shows that high energy photo cross sec tions of a spherical jellium
cluster oscillate in the respective photoelectron momentu m space at a frequency 2 Rc,
whereRcis the cluster radius [8]. However, where do the other freque ncies in the
LDA-SIC 2 scross section come from?
In order to answer this we need to take a close look at the singl e-electron ground
state LDA and LDA-SIC radial potentials. As pointed out earl ier, in LDA formalism
“all” electrons of the system in the ground state experience the same potential defined
by equation (1) which for Na 20is denoted by the dotted curve in figure 3. The potential,
as is typical for a cluster, is flat in the interior region (reg ion of de-localized quasi-free
electrons) while showing a strong screening at the edge arou ndRc; the unphysical
†Of course at such high energy the Na+core will ionize. However, the inclusion of this effect, goin g
beyond the jellium frame, will not change our result qualita tively.Letter to the Editor 4
exponential decay at the long range may be noted. Switching t o the LDA-SIC scheme,
electrons in every orbital now feel a distinctly different po tential (see equation (2)) with
an approximately correct long range behavior as represente d by four solid curves in figure
3. In this group of four SIC potentials the ones for 1 s, 1p, and 1dlook qualitatively
similar to the LDA potential but are slightly deeper. The 2 spotential, on the other
hand, exhibits a unique feature: a strong local variation ar ound the position r=Rn. To
pin down how this structure in the 2 sLDA-SIC potential comes about we need to focus
on the SIC exchange correction Vxc[ρ2s(/vector r)]. This quantity, with reference to expression
(3), can be explicitly written as:
Vxc[ρ2s(/vector r)] =−/parenleftBigg3ρ2s(/vector r
π/parenrightBigg1/3
−0.0333 log
1 + 11.4/parenleftBigg4πρ2s(/vector r)
3/parenrightBigg1/3
(4)
The 2sorbital density, ρ2s(/vector r) =|φ2s(/vector r)|2, in the above equation, vanishes at r=Rn
as the 2sradial wavefunction passes through its node at Rn. Consequently, Vxc[ρ2s(/vector r)]
generates a cusp-like structure in the neighborhood of Rnthat shows up in the LDA-
SIC potential profile for the 2 sorbital. Since the behavior here is directly connected
to the zero in the 2 selectron density we stress that it must also occur in any alte rnate
prescription for Vxc[ρ2s(/vector r)] different from formula (2). We further emphasize that this
structure is entirely an artifact of an externally imposed S IC in a purely local frame,
which certainly is an approximation since a complete cancel lation of self-interactions
requires an appropriate non-local treatment of the electro n-exchange phenomenon as
in the HF formalism. In fact, a forced localization of the exc hange (Fock) term in
the HF scheme does indeed produce an infinite singularity in t he potential at the zero
of the corresponding one-electron state function [12]. Nev ertheless, the structure from
LDA-SIC has a direct bearing on the subsequent 2 sphotoionization matrix element by
producing an unphysical oscillation.
To behold the underlying mechanism let us consider the photo ionization dipole
matrix element. We use for convenience the acceleration gau ge representation of the
dipole interaction that involves the gradient of the potent ial seen by the outgoing
electron. After carrying out angular integration with the a ssumptions of spherical
symmetry and unpolarized light, one is left with a reduced ra dial matrix element for
a dipole transition nl→ǫl′that in the acceleration formalism is < ψ ǫl′|dV/dr |ψnl>.
Figure 4 shows that the derivatives of both the LDA potential and the LDA-SIC 2 s
potential peak close to r=Rc. In fact, the first derivative of any general cluster
potential always peaks at the edge Rc, and therefore, the overlap integral in the radial
matrix element has dominating contribution coming from the edge [8]. Further, for high
enough energy ψǫl′can be described in the first Born picture as a spherical wave w ith
asymptotic form cos( knlr+δl′). This immediately suggests that the matrix element
will oscillate in the knlspace with roughly a frequency that is equal to the distance o f
the peak derivative point from the origin. As a consequence, resulting cross sections
should exhibit an oscillation as a function of knlwith a frequence 2 Rc(since the cross
section is the squared modulus of the matrix element). As men tioned before, thisLetter to the Editor 5
effect is already known and can be related to the common freque ncy peak in figure 2.
However, something additional happens for the LDA-SIC case . The structure induced
by the wavefunction node in the LDA-SIC potential for the 2 sorbital produces a sharp
discontinuity at RnindV2s/dr, as also seen in figure 4. Such a derivative-discontinuity
induces a second oscillation in the respective overlap inte gral with a frequency about Rn
[13]. Subsequently, the 2 scross section with SIC acquires four oscillation frequenci es:
Rc−Rn, 2Rn,Rc+Rn, and 2Rc(see figure 2) as a result of the interference. Evidently,
the first three frequencies are artificial being connected to the unphysical structure in
the potential. Non-local HF, which exactly eliminates elec tron self-interaction terms,
is free from this effect (as is seen from figures 1 and 2). Moreov er, the qualitative
agreement of HF with LDA suggests that SIC is practically uni mportant at high enough
photon-energy. This is simply because with predominant con tribution coming from the
potential edge for higher energies any improvement in the as ymptotic behavior of the
wavefunction does not significantly influence the overlap in tegral. Therefore, for large
systems where HF becomes computationally impracticable th e usual LDA may be a safe
choice in the high-energy regime. On the other hand, the fact that slower photoelectrons
with their longer wavelength can hardly “resolve” this noda l structure explains why low-
energy cross sections in LDA-SIC are practically uncontami nated. It is also simple to
understand that there is nothing special about 2 sphotoelectrons, for the effect must
also be present in the case of subshells having more than one n ode.
The characteristic potential for any de-localized electro n system, as in a metal
cluster, has a nearly flat interior region. Any rapid variati on in this potential occurring
in a small range can, therefore, have considerable effect on t he photoionization overlap
integral by significantly altering the amplitude of the cont inuum wave across this range.
For atomic systems, however, electrons are far more localiz ed owing to the strong nuclear
attraction, and therefore, wavefunctions are far more comp act around the nucleus. The
near-Coulombic shape of a typical atomic potential with ste ep slope close to the origin
can practically overwhelm any local variation as the one dis cussed in this paper. In order
to verify this, we applied LDA-SIC for some typical cases of a tomic photoionization
without any problem.
It is true that SIC in the LDA frame induces certain extensive ness in the calculations
by making the potential state-dependent. One possible simp lification is to average over
all such state-dependent potentials and use the averaged on e for all electrons. We applied
such an average-SIC potential to examine whether or not the e ffect reduces. We find
that not only the effect survives but that it also now substant ially affects photoelectrons
from subshells without a node because the wavefunction over lap across the nodal zone
is rather strong for them since their ground state wavefunct ions are large in this region.
However, it remains to be seen what happens if the potential i s further approximated
by a simplified-implementation of SIC, namely, the optimize d effective potential method
[14]. Finally, it has recently been found in the context of at oms that the independent
particle model breaks down for the high energy photoionizat ion due to the interchannel
coupling effect [15]. There is no apriori reason to assume that this will not be the caseLetter to the Editor 6
for cluster systems, although no study has yet been made. Nev ertheless, in the future
even if a multi-channel frame (namely, the time-dependent L DA which is akin to the
random-phase approximation) is needed to characterize the energetic photoionization of
clusters, this spurious effect will remain, at least qualita tively, and may also affect those
channels whose single channel description is otherwise err or-free.
To summarize, we have shown that the theoretical analysis in the framework of
LDA with SIC incorporated may invoke unphysical strong qual itative variations in
high energy photospectra of metal clusters for electrons em itted from a subshell with
node(s); although there is no denying that LDA-SIC is one of t he strong methodologies
available to address low-energy processes. Through a compa rison with the results via
non-local HF, that is intrinsically free from the self-inte raction error, we conclude that
the difficulty is connected to an inexact footing of SIC in the L DA formalism. Hence,
it is important to choose appropriate theoretical techniqu es suitable for a given energy
range to avoid mis-interpretation of various effects in clus ter photo-dynamical studies.

Abstract
Bacterial chemotaxis is controlled by receptor conformati onal changes in
response to the change of ambient chemical concentration. I n a statistical
mechanical approach, the signalling is a thermodynamic ave rage quantity, de-
termined by the temperature and the total energy of the syste m, including
both ligand-receptor interaction and receptor-receptor i nteraction. The con-
formation of a receptor dimer is not only influenced by whethe r it is bound to
a ligand, but also influenced by the conformation-dependent interaction with
its neighbors. This physical theory suggests to biology a ne w understand-
ing of cooperation in ligand binding and receptor signallin g problems. How
much experimental support of this approach can be obtained f rom the cur-
rent available data? What are the parameter values? What is t he practical
information for experiments? Here we make comparisons betw een the theory
and recent experimental results. Although currently compa risons can only be
semi-quantitative or qualitative , consistency can clearl y be seen. The theory
also helps to sort a variety of data.

1I. INTRODUCTION
Bacterial chemotaxis refers to the phenomenon that a bacter ium such as Escherichia coli
swims towards higher concentration of attractant and lower concentration of repellent [1–4].
This is because with the rate determined by the change of the a mbient chemical concen-
tration, the motors switch between counterclockwise and cl ockwise rotations, consequently
the cell switches between tumbling and running. The ratio be tween the frequencies of the
two rotation modes is determined by the rate at which kinase C heA phosphorylates CheY,
which binds the base of a motor. CheA phosphorylation rate is regulated by the receptor
conformational state, which is influenced by ligand binding . The receptors are dimeric and is
joined to a CheA dimer by a CheW dimer, furnishing a signallin g complex. Hence a receptor
dimer can be regarded as a basic unit, as supported by the findi ng that a receptor dimer with
a damaged subunit can still work [5]. Because of thermal fluct uation, even in the absence of
ligand binding, or in a fully adapted situation, there is sti ll a certain probability distribution
of the receptor conformational states; microscopically a r eceptor dimer stochastically flips
between the two states. Attractant binding changes the prob ability distribution, causing the
receptor dimer to be more likely in the state corresponding t o lower CheA phosphorylation
rate. On a longer time scale, after an initial response to lig and concentration change, the
activity of the system returns to the pre-stimulus level. A c areful consideration of such a
basic picture already finds the ideas of statistical mechani cs necessary: with the presence of
thermal fluctuation, it is the probability distribution of t he the receptor states, rather than
a definite state, that is monitored by ligand concentration c hange and monitors the motor
rotation bias. However, this point is not universally appre ciated in biological literature.
The chemotactic response is very sensitive [6], and it had be en conjectured that there
might be cooperation between receptors or the signalling co mplex so that the signal could
be amplified [7,3]. The fact that most of the receptors cluste r together at a pole of the cell
provides further clues for cooperation between receptors [ 8,9]. It was found experimentally
that the clustering of receptors was not to be favorable for c ounting statistics and that the
2receptor cluster does not favor a special end of the cell [10] . This is an indication that there
is a special reason, which may well be to have the receptor-re ceptor interaction.
With a detailed analysis on the possibility of cooperation b etween receptor dimers, we
constructed a statistical mechanical theory to provide a pi cture of how the receptors cooper-
ate through physical interaction and how the thermal fluctua tion makes statistical mechanics
important in the signalling process [11,12]. As will be stre ssed here, the first message from
this approach is an emphasis on thermal fluctuation. Moreove r, thermal fluctuation helps
to distinguish different stimuli. Because of large separati on of time scales, the thermal fluc-
tuation can be treated as quasi-equilibrium, so equilibriu m statistical mechanical can give
a reasonable response-stimuli relation. Hence the basic of our theory is useful no matter
whether there is interaction between receptor dimers. The s econd message of this theory
is that the anticipated cooperation is just physical recept or-receptor interaction between
nearest-neighboring receptor dimers. Therefore the confo rmational state of a receptor dimer
is not only influenced by ligand binding of itself, but also by the receptor-receptor inter-
action which is dependent on conformations of the two neighb oring receptor dimers. The
third message is that the large separation of time scales lea ds to a complementary usage of
equilibrium statistical mechanics for the calculation of r esponse in a shorter time scale and
a non-equilibrium description of the adaptation in a longer time scale. Dynamics on the
longer time scale determines whether randomness of ligand b inding is quenched or annealed
on the shorter time scale of quasi-equilibrium state, as wil l be elaborated later on. In the
high temperature limit, this does not make a difference on the average signalling. Based on
some aspects of the theory [11], a numerical simulation was m ade [13].
Recently there appeared some experimental data which are mo re directly relevant for the
many-body nature of the receptor cluster and the possible co operation [14–16]. Therefore
it is interesting and important to make comparisons between the theory and the experi-
mental results, testing the theory on one hand, and providin g some information on what
experimental data are wanted on the other hand. However, we d o not expect the model in
the current form can fit perfectly all data on this complex sys tem, rather, what we provide
3is a theoretical framework amenable for refinements. For exa mple, for simplicity, we have
only considered the cooperation between the receptor dimer , while extensions to possible
cooperations among other components at later stages of the s ignalling process, for exam-
ple, CheA, CheY, CheZ and the switch complex, is straightfor ward if concrete information
is available. The idea of receptor-receptor interaction br oadens the view on cooperation,
which previously largely refers to the existence of more tha n one binding sites, and thus the
occupancy is larger than that with one binding site, as descr ibed by the model presented by
Hill a century ago [18]. For simplicity, we try to preserve th e scenario of one binding site,
while the extension to the situation of more binding sites is straightforward if needed. Our
strategy is to start with the minimum model.
With improvement and simplification, we first synthesis vari ous aspects of the theory.
Then we make comparisons with the experimental results, fol lowed by summary and discus-
sions.
II. THEORY
Consider a lattice of receptor dimers, as shown in Fig. 1. Let the coordinate number
beν, which is 6 for a honeycomb lattice and is 4 for a square lattic e. The exact coordinate
number in reality is subject to experimental investigation s. The behavior of the system is
determined by its energy function, or Hamiltonian, which ca n be written as
H(t) =−/summationdisplay
<ij>TijViVj−/summationdisplay
iHiVi+/summationdisplay
iWiVi. (1)
Viis a variable characterizing the conformation of receptor d imeri, so it is likely the position
of the receptor molecule with respective to a certain equili brium position. In the popular
two-state approach, Viassumes one of two values V0orV1.Hiis the influence, or force,
due to ligand binding and the modulation of methylation leve l,Hi= 0 if there is no ligand
binding, while Hi=Hif there is a ligand binding. −HiViis the energy due to ligand
binding, hence ligand binding causes the energy difference b etween the two conformations
4to make a shift of H(V1−V0).Wi(V0−V1) is the original energy difference between the two
conformations. /angbracketleftij/angbracketrightdenotes nearest neighbouring pairs, −TijViVjis the interaction energy
between the neighboring receptor dimers.
For convenience, defining Si= 2(Vi−V0)/∆V−1, where ∆ V=V1−V0, one transforms
the Hamiltonian to
H(t) =−/summationdisplay
/angbracketleftij/angbracketrightJijSiSj−/summationdisplay
iBi(t)Si+/summationdisplay
iUiSi, (2)
where Si= 1,−1 represents the two conformational states of the receptor d imer at site i,
Jij=Tij∆V2/4,Bi=Hi∆V/2,Ui= ∆V W i/2−∆V2/summationtext
jTij. We refer to Bias field. For
simplicity, it is assumed that Jij=JandUi=Uare independent of iandj.Bi= 0 if there
is no ligand binding, while Bi=B=H∆V/2 if there is a ligand binding. Hence energy
difference due to ligand binding between the two conformatio ns are 2 Bi.USirepresents the
original energy in the absence of ligand binding. Eq. (1) and (2) can be justified as follows.
It is reasonable to assume an interaction energy proportion al to ( Vi−Vj)2, which can be
reduced to −TijViVj, with constant terms neglected and the terms proportional t oSiorSj
included in/summationtext
iUiSi. On the other hand, this assumption is simple enough to allow a feasible
treatment which captures the essential features.
From now on, we focus on Eq. (2). Suppose that before time t= 0, there is no ligand
bound to the system, or there are bound ligands, but the syste m is fully adapted. Hence
Bi(t <0) = 0. Afterward, at time t= 0, the occupancy, i.e. the fraction of receptor dimers
with ligands bound, changes to c. Hence the occupancy change is δc=c. This means
Bi(t= 0) = B0
i, with
B0
i=
B,with probability c
0,with probability 1 −c(3)
The occupancy cis determined by the ligand concentration L,c=L/(L+Kd), where the
dissociation constant Kdis on a time scale during which the receptor has undergone man y
flips between different conformations, hence it is an average and phenomenological quantity.
5On the other hand, through the modulation of methylation lev el by CheB and CheR,
there is a negative feedback from the receptor state Sito the field Bi, with a time delay tr.
A simple quantitative representation of this feedback is
dBi(t)
dt=−σ[Si(t−tr)−m0], (4)
where σ >0,m0is the pre-stimulus average of Si. If she likes, one might call this self-tuning.
A remarkable feature of this system is the large separation o f time scales. Ligand bind-
ing and conformation change occur within only millisecond, while overall time needed to
complete the adaptation, through the slow modulation of met hylation level, is on the scale
of many seconds to minutes [19,2]. We note that in most cases, ligand debinding is on a
much longer time scale than ligand binding, seen as follows. Consider the kinetics of the
following reaction
L+R⇀↽RL, (5)
where Rrepresents the receptor without ligand binding, while RLrepresents liganded re-
ceptor. k+andk−are reaction rates for the binding and debinding, respectiv ely. The ratio
between the time scales of debinding and binding is k+L/k −≡L/K d, where Kdis the
dissociation constant. A typical value is Kd∼1.2µM[2]. Usually, Lis much larger, so
the debinding time scale is much longer than the time scale of ligand binding and receptor
conformational change. In extreme cases when Lis comparable to Kd, debinding time scale
is comparable to binding time scale.
With the large separation of time scales, the treatment unde r the above formulation
becomes easier. One may discretize the time on the scale of ad aptation, according to the
feedback delay time. tis thus replaced by an integer τ, which is the integer part of t/tr. On
the other hand, each instant τis still very long compared with the time scale of conformati onal
change . Hence the activity at each τis an average quantity m(τ), which can be calculated
from the Hamiltonian in (2) by standard methods of statistic al mechanics. Note that the
average activity mjust corresponds to the time scale of the measured quantitie s such as
6motor bias, longer than the very short period in which the rec eptor is in either of the two
conformations, but shorter than the adaptation time. In mak ing the average, an important
thing is that the randomness of the field is usually quenched s inceL >> K d, and is annealed
otherwise. In fact we obtain a generalized version of the so- called random-field Ising model;
in a conventional random-field Ising model, the average field vanishes, but it is generically
non-zero in our model. In the long time scale, the field change s because of feedback. It can
be expressed as Bi(τ) =B0
i+M(τ), where M(τ) is an induced field due to methylation
modulation,
M(τ) =−στ−1/summationdisplay
k=0[m(k)−m0]. (6)
Before being stimulated, m(τ <0) =m0is determined by U.m0= 0 if and only if
U= 0.m= 0 means that each receptor is in either of the two conformati ons with equal
probability, and thus the rates of counterclockwise and clo ckwise rotations of the motors are
equal.
In most cases, the randomness of B0
iis quenched, the general relation between m(τ) and
δcis then
m(τ) =2δc
1+exp[ −2β(νJm(τ)−θ(τ−1)σ/summationtextτ−1
k=τ0(m(k)−m0)+U+B)]
+2(1−δc)
1+exp[ −2β(νJm(τ)−θ(τ−1)σ/summationtextτ−1
k=τ0(m(k)−m0)+U)]−1, (7)
where β= 1/kBT,θ(x) is 1 if x≥0, and is 0 otherwise. On the other hand, when the ligand
concentration is lower than Kd, the randomness of B0
iis annealed, it can be found that
m=δc[eβ(f(m)+B)−e−β(f(m)+B)] + (1 −δc)[eβf(m)−e−βf(m)]
δc[eβ(f(m)+B)+e−β(f(m)+B)] + (1 −δc)[eβf(m)+e−βf(m)], (8)
where f(m) =νJm−θ(τ−1)σ/summationtextτ−1
k=0m(k) +U.
m(τ= 0) corresponds to the response-stimulus relation, as usua lly referred to. After the
step increase at τ= 0,m(τ) always decrease back towards the pre-stimulus value m0. This
is the robustness of exact adaptation [20]. Practically the adaptation time is obtained when
m−m0reaches the detection threshold m∗.
7The results can be simplified under the condition that the the rmal noise is so strong that
βνJandβBare not large. Then both Eq. (7) and Eq. (8) can be simplified to
m(τ≥0)−m0=βBδc
1−βνJ/parenleftBigg
1−βσ
1−βνJ/parenrightBiggτ
, (9)
with
m0=βBU
1−βνJ. (10)
1−βνJrepresents the enhancement of response compared with non-i nteracting scenario.
One may obtain the adaptation time t∗, after which m−m0is less than the detection
threshold m∗:
τ∗=logδc+ log(βB
1−βνJ)−logm∗
−ln(1−βσ
1−βνJ). (11)
m∗can be related to the lower bound of detectable occupancy cha nge,δc∗by
m∗=βBδc∗
1−βνJ, (12)
hence
τ∗=logδc−logδc∗
−ln(1−βσ
1−βνJ). (13)
At exact adaptation, setting m(τ) =m0, one may obtain the total induced field due
to methylation modulation M∗=Bc. Then for the next stimulus, suppose the occupancy
changes from δctoδc+ ∆cat a later time τ1, it can be found that the result with the
occupancy δc+ ∆cand the induced field M∗is the same as that with the occupancy ∆ c
and without M∗, that is, the previous occupancy change has been canceled by M∗, therefore
the fully adaptation with ligand binding is equivalent to no ligand binding. So m(τ≥τ1)
is given by the above relevant equations with τchanged to τ−τ1, and δcsubstituted by
∆c. One can thus simply forget the pre-adaptation history, and re-start the application of
the above formulation with τ1shifted to 0. The cancellation holds exactly only under the
assumption of small βνJandβB, which is likely the reality. The finiteness of detection
threshold further widens the practical range of its validit y.
8III. COMPARISONS BETWEEN EXPERIMENTS AND THE THEORY
A. Clustering.
The clustering was recently studied in greater details [16] . The observed clustering of
receptors and the co-localization of the CheA, CheY, and Che Z with the receptors is a favor
for the effects of interactions. An in vitro receptor lattice formation was also observed (Ying
and Lai, 2000).
B. Response-stimulus relation.
A basic prediction of our theory is the response-stimulus re lation. Note that the time
scale of the response, corresponding to min our theory , is longer than the very short lifetime
of the individual conformations, but is only transient on th e time scale of the adaptation
process. A remarkable thing is that min our theory is measurable. Motor rotation bias
was measured [14]. From this result we can obtain m, as follows. The population motor
bias is b=fccw/(fccw+fcw), where fccwandfcware rates of counterclockwise and clockwise
rotations, respectively. Suppose the value of bisr1for conformational state 1, and is r−1
for conformational state −1. Hence the the average bias should be:
b=r1x+r−1(1−x), (14)
where xis the average fraction of receptors with state 1. xis related to mbym=x−(1−x) =
2x−1. So if we know r1andr−1, we can obtain mfrom the average b. In literature, there
is no investigation on r1andr−1. A simple assumption which is often implicitly assumed in
literature is that r1= 1,r−1= 0, that is, state 1 corresponds to CCW, state −1 corresponds
to CW. We follow this assumption here. But it should be kept in mind that an experimental
investigation on r1andr−1would be very valuable. Therefore, for the time being, we use
b=m+ 1
2, (15)
9Thus from the pre-stimulus value of b, one may determine m0, and thus βU. An empirical
formula is b= 1−0.0012(rcd−360), where rcdis the absolute angular rate of change of
direction of the cell centroid in degree ·s−1[14,24]. From [24], the pre-stimulus value of rcd
is known as ∼600, so the pre-stimulus value of mbis∼0.712. Hence
m0≈βU
1−βνJ≈0.424. (16)
The occupancy change used in [14] was calculated from the con centrations by assuming
that the ligand randomly binds one of two possible binding si tes: in addition to the site with
Kd∼1.2µM, as widely acknowledged [19], there is another site with Kd∼70µM. This was
based on an earlier attempt to have a better fitting for the ada ptation time [21]. However,
as told above, we try to make things as simple as possible in th e first instance, so prefer
to preserve the scenario of one binding site with Kd∼1.2µM. Actually with one binding
site, as discussed later on, it seems that our theory can fit th e adaptation time by choosing
appropriate parameter values, thus improve the coherence b etween various data. So we first
transform the occupancy given in [14]. One has
cJ=1
2(c1+c2), (17)
where cJrepresents the occupancy used by Jasuja et al.,c1corresponds to dissociation
constant K1= 1.2µM,c2corresponds to dissociation constant K2= 70µM. From cl=
L/(L+Kl) forl= 1,2, one obtains the change of the occupancy
δcl=KlδL
(L+δL+Kl)(L+Kl), (18)
where δLis the change of ligand concentration. Since δL << L , one may obtain δc1=
2δcJ/(1 +α), where α≈K1(L+K1)2/K2(L+K2)2. With L≈10µM,α≈1, one has
δc1≈δcJ. Therefore under this condition, we may simply use the occup ancy used in [14].
Eq. (15) leads to the relation between the initial change of mand that of the motor bias,
δb,
δm= 2δb, (19)
10where δm=m(δc, τ= 0)−m0.
So the data in Fig. 3 of [14] can be transformed to δm−δcrelation as shown in our
Fig. 2. Unfortunately, it is notable that the data is limited to very low values of occ upancy
change ! Nevertheless, a qualitative fitting can be made. According Eq. (9), where τis set
to 0, we fit the data with a straight line δm=aδc. From the slop of the fitting line, we
obtain
a=βB
1−βνJ≈10.49. (20)
C. Adaptation time.
Eq. (18) tells us that with a same concentration change, the o ccupancy change and
thus the response decreases with the increase of pre-stimulus ligand concentration. Th is is
verified by Fig. 7 of [21]. Eq. (11) predicts that the adaptati on time increases linearly with,
but not proportional to, the logarithm of occupancy change. This is consistent with the
available experimental results. It had been thought that th e adaptation time is proportional
to the occupancy change [22,23,21]. We found that a logarith mic relation is also consistent
with the current available data. As an example, using Kd= 3×10−7, we transform the
better set of the data, the left plot, in Fig. 4 of [23] to the oc cupancy change. For accuracy,
the data points at the highest and lowest concentration chan ges are dropped since they
are close to the detection limit. and it is hard to recognize t he difference in adaptation
time with the the other data points closest to them, though th e concentration changes are
quite different. The transformed data is shown in our Fig 3(a) . While there could be a
proportional (not only linear) fitting, as usually done, the y may be fitted by a logarithmic
relation, t∗=τ∗·tr=glog10δc+h, with g= 95.151 and h= 124 .0574. From Eq. (11), we
have
tr
−log10(1−βσ
1−βνJ)=g. (21)
and
11tr[log10δc∗]
log10(1−βσ
1−βνJ)=h. (22)
We use δc∗≈0.004 [21]. and suppose tr≈0.1s. Then one may find
βσ
1−βνJ≈0.0024 to 0 .0045. (23)
where the first value estimated from (21), and the second from (22). They are quite close,
as an indication of the consistency of the theory.
Furthermore our predicted logarithmic relation may explai n the discrepancy in analysis
of data in Fig. 4 of [21] about a relation between the adaptati on time and the concentra-
tion. The logarithm can simply decrease the predicted value of adaptation time, without
resorting to the assumption of the existence of two binding s ites. We have tried to make
a quantitative fitting for the data in Fig. 4 of [21]. Using Kd= 1.2µM, we transform the
ligand concentration to the occupancy change, as shown in ou r Fig. 4. To make better use
of the data, we ignore data point for δc >0.95, because the finiteness of detection threshold
may cause uncertainty in deciding the adaptation time; the d ata for δc >0.95 show too large
variation for so close values of δc. The fitting straight line is t∗=τ∗·tr=glog10δc+h,
withg= 156 .3513 and h= 114 .9912. From (21) and (22), one may find
βσ
1−βνJ≈0.0015 to 0 .0047. (24)
Again, they are quite close. It is very impressive that (23) a nd (24) are very close, though
they are obtained for different sets of data.
D. CheA activity.
Bornhorst and Falke studied relative CheA activity and made analyses using Hill model
with non-integer coefficient [15]. Here we analyze the data fr om the viewpoint of our theory.
Suppose S= 1,−1 correspond respectively to CheA activity A1andA−1. Then the
average CheA activity is1
2(A1+A−1) +m
2(A1−A−1). Consequently the relative CheA
activity, as measured in [15]. is
12R=(A1+A−1) + (A1−A−1)m(δc)
(A1+A−1) + (A1−A−1)m(δc= 0)= 1−FL
L+Kd, (25)
where F=a
E+aU
B, with E= (A−1+A1/(A−1−A1)>0. Note that A−1> A1. It
is constrained that for attractant binding, F≤1, since R≥0. Setting F= 0.95 and
Kd= 20µM, we obtains a reasonable fitting to Fig. 1 of [15]. as shown in o ur Fig. 4.
Therefore
E≈a(1
0.95−U
B). (26)
Combined with Eqs. (16) and (20), it tells that the ratio betw een the two levels of CheA
activity is A−1/A1≈164.77.Very interestingly, this result of deduction is in good cons istence
with the available experimental information that this rati o is more than 100 [2]. Again, this
is an indication of the consistency of the theory.
However, there is discrepancy in the fitting. This may be beca use of high temperature
approximation, and may be because of some other minor factor s not considered here for
simplicity.
IV. SUMMARY AND DISCUSSIONS
We suggest that statistical mechanics is helpful and import ant in understanding receptor
signalling and adaptation. We have made semi-quantitative comparisons between the theory
and recent experiments to obtain estimations of parameter v alues. However, for such a
complex system, we do not expect the fitting is perfect. The th ermal fluctuation in a
cell is very strong, kBT≈4pN˙nm≈0.025eV, comparable to the energy scales, so we
simplify the formulation by using high temperature approxi mation. Then Eqs. (9) and (10)
essentially contain all the information we need. 1 −βνJcharacterizes the enhancement
of signalling by receptor-receptor interaction. With this simplified formulation, we look at
recent experimental results. From the data on pre-stimulus motor rotation bias [24], we
obtain the pre-stimulus activity, as in Eq. (16), implying t hat there are approximately 70%
receptor dimers are at the state corresponding the lower rat e of CheA autophosphorylation.
13Although the data of the response-stimulus relation are not very limited, from this we
estimate that βB/(1−βνJ)≈10.5. Eq. (20), which characterizes the effect of ligand
binding. We study adaptation time for two different sets of da ta [23,21], and find the
feedback strength compared with coupling, βσ/(1−βνJ), is approximately 0 .0024 to 0 .0045,
or 0.0015 to 0 .0047, respectively. These numbers obtained from different d ata or by using
different methods are impressively close, as a good sign of th e consistency of theory. From
the data on the relative CheA activity [15], we obtain Eq. (26 ), which gives the relation
between the two levels of CheA activity corresponding to the two conformations of the
receptor dimer. Combined with other results, it tells that t he ratio between the two levels
of CheA activity is A−1/A1≈164.77, in good consistence with the available experimental
information on this ratio.
We need an improvement of other already available data, espe cially we need a signifi-
cant increase of the range of occupancy change in response-s timulus relation. We also need
a clearer relation between adaptation time and occupancy ch ange. More accurate mea-
surement of A−1/A1can provide more accurate test and refinement of the theory. M ore
information is also needed on the relation between the confo rmational state and the relative
rate of the two rotation modes of the motor.
Independent determination of the dissociate constant is al so important. Most exciting
experiments might be direct measurements of the conformati onal states V0,V1, and the
coupling coefficient Tij. First, a clarification on whether the conformational chang e is rota-
tion or a vertical displacement is needed. For the former, V0andV1are angles, while H,
the effect of ligand binding, is a torque. For the latter, V0andV1are positions, while His
a force. The receptor-receptor interaction can be determin ed by measuring the relation of
force or torque on one receptor dimer and the conformations o f its neighbors. This would be
a direct test of the conformation-dependent interaction. A determination of the geometry of
the lattice is also interesting, from which we can obtain the value of βνJ, and consequently
other parameter values.
Our theory is entirely different from Hill model. An integer H ill coefficient is understood
14as the number of ligands bound to a receptor. A non-integer Hi ll coefficient, as often used,
is not clear conceptually though could be tuned to fit the data . Nonetheless, from mean
field point of view, the effect of receptor-receptor interact ion could be viewed as effective
additional ligand binding. Therefore from this perspectiv e, the conclusion of Bornhorst and
Falke on limited cooperativity is consistent with strong th ermal fluctuation in our theory.
Here we specialize in chemotactic receptors, however, the t heory also applies to many
other receptor systems. For example, state-dependent co-i nhibition between transmitter-
gated cation channels was observed [25]. Clustering of GABA Areceptors and the decrease
of affinity was also studied [26], in a way similar to the analys es of Bohrnhost and Falke for
chemotactic receptors, and can also be explained by our theo ry as an indication of receptor-
receptor interaction and thermal noise. In many receptor sy stems, clustering, or called
oligomerization, together with signalling, occurs as a res ponse to stimulus. This situation is
dealt with elsewhere.
In finishing this paper, let me list some new experiments anti cipated from the point of
view of this theory. (1) Direct determination of conformati onal change due to interaction
with another receptor dimer. (2) Independent determinatio n of dissociate constant using
other methods. (3) Investigations on the responses corresp onding to fixed conformational
states, thus r1andr−1discussed above is determined. (4) Direct measurements on C heA and
CheY activities. (5) More clarification on the relation betw een the receptor state and CheA
activity. (6) Increasing the range of occupancy change in re sponse-stimulus relations, and
more accurate determination of pre-stimulus occupancy and occupancy change. (7) More
accurate determination on adaptation time as a function of b oth pre-stimulus occupancy
and the occupancy change. (8) Quantitative determination o f the details of feedback due to
change of the methylation level.

Submitted to ChaosABSTRACT The engineered control of cellular function throu gh the design of synthetic
genetic networks is becoming plausible. Here we show how a na turally occurring network
can be used as a parts list for artificial network design, and h ow model formulation leads
to computational and analytical approaches relevant to non linear dynamics and statistical
physics. We first review the relevant work on synthetic gene n etworks, highlighting the
important experimental findings with regard to genetic swit ches and oscillators. We then
present the derivation of a deterministic model describing the temporal evolution of the
concentration of protein in a single-gene network. Bistabi lity in the steady-state protein
concentration arises naturally as a consequence of autoreg ulatory feedback, and we focus on
the hysteretic properties of the protein concentration as a function of the degradation rate.
We then formulate the effect of an external noise source which interacts with the protein
degradation rate. We demonstrate the utility of such a formu lation by constructing a protein
switch, whereby external noise pulses are used to switch the protein concentration between
two values. Following the lead of earlier work, we show how th e addition of a second network
component can be used to construct a relaxation oscillator, whereby the system is driven
around the hysteresis loop. We highlight the frequency depe ndence on the tunable parameter
values, and discuss design plausibility. We emphasize how t he model equations can be used
to develop design criteria for robust oscillations, and ill ustrate this point with parameter
plots illuminating the oscillatory regions for given param eter values. We then turn to the
utilization of an intrinsic cellular process as a means of co ntrolling the oscillations. We
consider a network design which exhibits self-sustained os cillations, and discuss the driving
of the oscillator in the context of synchronization. Then, a s a second design, we consider a
synthetic network with parameter values near, but outside, the oscillatory boundary. In this
case, we show how resonance can lead to the induction of oscil lations and amplification of a
cellular signal. Finally, we construct a toggle switch from positive regulatory elements, and
compare the switching properties for this network with thos e of a network constructed using
negative regulation. Our results demonstrate the utility o f model analysis in the construction
of synthetic gene regulatory networks.
1Lead Paragraph
Many fundamental cellular processes are governed by geneti c programs which
employ protein-DNA interactions in regulating function. O wing to recent tech-
nological advances, it is now possible to design synthetic g ene regulatory net-
works. While the idea of utilizing synthetic networks in a th erapeutic setting is
still in its infancy, the stage is set for the notion of engine ered cellular control at
the DNA level. Theoretically, the biochemistry of the feedb ack loops associated
with protein-DNA interactions often leads to nonlinear equ ations, and the tools
of nonlinear analysis become invaluable. Here we utilize a n aturally occurring
genetic network to elucidate the construction and design po ssibilities for syn-
thetic gene regulation. Specifically, we show how the geneti c circuitry of the
bacteriophage λcan be used to design switching and oscillating networks, an d
how these networks can be coupled to cellular processes. Thi s work suggests
that a genetic toolbox can be developed using modular design concepts. Such
advancements could be utilized in engineered approaches to the modification or
evaluation of cellular processes.
1 Introduction
Remarkable progress in genomic research is leading to a comp lete map of the building blocks
of biology. Knowledge of this map is, in turn, fueling the stu dy of gene regulation, where
proteins often regulate their own production or that of othe r proteins in a complex web of
interactions. Post-genomic research will likely center on the dissection and analysis of these
complex dynamical interactions. While the notions of prote in-DNA feedback loops and
network complexity are not new [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12], experimental advances
are inducing a resurgence of interest in the quantitative de scription of gene regulation [13,
14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25]. These advances a re beginning to set the stage for
2amodular description of the regulatory processes underlying basic c ellular function [13, 26,
27, 28, 29, 34]. In light of nearly three decades of parallel p rogress in the study of complex
nonlinear and stochastic processes, the project of quantit atively describing gene regulatory
networks is timely.
The concept of engineering genetic networks has roots that d ate back nearly half a cen-
tury [30, 31]. It is relatively recent, however, that experi mental progress has made the design
and implementation of genetic networks amenable to quantit ative analysis. There are two
dominant reasons for constructing synthetic networks. Fir st, simple networks represent a
first step towards logical cellular control, whereby biolog ical processes can be manipulated
or monitored at the DNA level [32]. Such control could have a s ignificant impact on post-
genomic biotechnology. From the construction of simple swi tches or oscillators, one can
imagine the design of genetic code, or software, capable of p erforming increasingly elabo-
rate functions [33, 34]. A second complementary motivation for network construction is the
scientific notion of reduced complexity; the inherently red uctionist approach of decoupling
a simple network from its native and often complex biologica l setting can lead to valuable
information regarding evolutionary design principles [35 ].
Ultimately, we envision the implementation of synthetic ne tworks in therapeutic appli-
cations. However, such a utilization depends on concurrent progress in efforts to uncover
basic genomic and interspecies information. For example, b road applicability will only arise
with detailed information regarding tissue-specific promo ters, proteins, and genes. Likewise,
quantitative network design is contingent on a firm understa nding of cellular differentiation
and fundamental processes such as transcription, translat ion, and protein metabolism. More
crucially, delivery is a major hurdle; without identifiable cell-specific recognition molecules,
there is no method for introducing a network to a specific type of cell. Since, in many re-
gards, therapeutic applications are somewhat premature, w e focus on the implementation of
synthetic networks in less complicated organisms. The desi gn of synthetic circuits and opti-
mization of their function in bacteria, yeast, or other plan t organisms should reveal nonlinear
3properties that can be employed as possible mechanisms of ce llular control.
In this paper, we develop several models describing the dyna mics of the protein concen-
tration in small self-contained synthetic networks, and de monstrate techniques for externally
controlling the dynamics. Although our results are general , as they originate from networks
designed with common gene regulatory elements, we ground th e discussion by considering
the genetic circuitry of bacteriophage λ. Since the range of potentially interesting behavior
is wide, we focus primarily on the concentration of the λrepressor protein. We first show
how bistability in the steady-state value of the repressor p rotein can arise from a single-gene
network. We then show how an external noise source affecting p rotein degradation can be
introduced to our model, and how the subsequent Langevin equ ation is analyzed by way
of transforming to an equation describing the evolution of a probability function. We then
obtain the steady-state mean repressor concentration by so lving this equation in the long-
time limit, and discuss its relationship to the magnitude of the external perturbation. This
leads to a potentially useful application, whereby one util izes the noise to construct a genetic
switch. We next show how the addition of a second network comp onent can lead to a genetic
relaxation oscillator. We study the oscillator model in det ail, highlighting the essential de-
sign criteria. We introduce a mechanism for coupling the osc illator to a time-varying genetic
process. In the model equations, such coupling leads to a dri ven oscillator, and we study
the resulting system in the framework of synchronization. W e illustrate the utility of such
driving through the construction of an amplifier for small pe riodic signals. Finally, we turn
to the construction of a genetic toggle switch, and compare s witching times for our network
with those of a network constructed using negative regulati on.
2 Background
Many processes involving cellular regulation take place at the level of gene transcription [36].
The very nature of cellular differentiation and role-specifi c interaction across cell types im-
plicates a not yet understood order to cellular processes. V arious modeling approaches
4have successfully described certain aspects of gene regula tion in specific biological sys-
tems [9, 12, 13, 14, 18, 24, 25, 38, 39]. It is only recent, howe ver, that designed network
experiments have arisen in direct support of regulatory mod els [21, 22, 23]. In this section,
we highlight the results of these experimental studies, and set the stage for the discussion of
the network designs described in this work.
For completeness, we first discuss the basic concepts of prom oters and regulatory feedback
loops [40, 41]. A promoter region (or, simply, a promoter) denotes a segment of DNA where
an RNA polymerase molecule will bind and subsequently trans cribe a gene into an mRNA
molecule. Thus, one speaks of a promoter as driving the trans cription of a specific gene.
Transcription begins downstream from the promoter at a part icular sequence of DNA that
is recognized by the polymerase as the start site of transcri ption. A chemical sequence
of DNA known as the start codon codes for the region of the gene that is converted into
amino acids, the protein building blocks. Feedback arises w hen the translated protein is
capable of interacting with the promoter that drives its own production or promoters of other
genes. Such transcriptional regulation is the typical method utilized by cells in controlling
expression [42, 43], and it can occur in a positive or negativ e sense. Positive regulation,
or activation, occurs when a protein increases transcripti on through biochemical reactions
that enhance polymerase binding at the promoter region. Neg ative regulation, or repression,
involves the blocking of polymerase binding at the promoter region. Proteins commonly
exist as multi-subunits or multimers which perform regulat ory functions throughout the cell
or serve as DNA-binding proteins. Typically, protein homod imers (or heterodimers) regulate
transcription, and this fact is responsible for much of the n onlinearity that arises in genetic
networks [19].
Recently, there have been three important experimental stu dies involving the design of
synthetic genetic networks. All three employ the use of repr essive promoters. In order of
increasing complexity, they consist of (i) a single autorep ressive promoter utilized to demon-
strate the interplay between negative feedback and interna l noise [23], (ii) two repressive
5promoters used to construct a genetic toggle switch [22], an d (iii) three repressive promoters
employed to exhibit sustained oscillations [21]. We now bri efly review the key findings in
these three studies.
In the single gene study, both a negatively controlled and an unregulated promoter were
utilized to study the effect of regulation on variations in ce llular protein concentration [23].
The central result is that negative feedback decreases the c ell-to-cell fluctuations in protein
concentration measurements. Although the theoretical not ion of network-induced decreased
variability is not new [44], this study empirically demonst rates the phenomenon through the
measurement of protein fluorescence distributions over a po pulation of cells. The findings
show that, for a repressive network, the fluorescence distri bution is significantly tightened,
and that such tightening is proportional to the degree to whi ch the promoter is negatively
controlled. These results suggest that negative feedback i s utilized in cellular design as
a means for mitigating variations in cellular protein conce ntrations. Since the number of
proteins per cell is typically small, internal noise is thou ght to be an important issue, and
this study speaks to issues regarding the reliability of cel lular processes in the presence of
internal noise.
The toggle switch involves a network where each of two protei ns negatively regulates
the synthesis of the other; protein “ A” turns off the promoter for gene “ B”, and protein B
turns off the promoter for gene A[22]. In this work, it is shown how certain biochemical
parameters lead to two stable steady states, with either a hi gh concentration of A(low
B), or a high concentration of B(lowA). Reliable switching between states is induced
through the transient introduction of either a chemical or t hermal stimulus, and shown to be
significantly sharper than for that of a network designed wit hout co-repression. Additionally,
the change in fluorescence distributions during the switchi ng process suggests interesting
statistical properties regarding internal noise. These re sults demonstrate that synthetic
toggle switches can be designed and utilized in a cellular en vironment. Co-repressive switches
have long been proposed as a common regulatory theme [45], an d the synthetic toggle serves
6as a model system in which to study such networks.
In the oscillator study, three repressible promoters were u sed to construct a network ca-
pable of producing temporal oscillations in the concentrat ions of cellular proteins [21]. The
regulatory network was designed with cyclic repressibilit y; protein Aturns off the promoter
for gene B, protein Bturns off the promoter for gene C, and protein Cturns off the promoter
for gene A. For certain biochemical parameters, the “repressilator” was shown to exhibit self-
sustained oscillations over the entire growth phase of the h ostE. coli cells. Interestingly, the
period of the oscillations was shown to be longer than the bac terial septation period, suggest-
ing that cellular conditions important to the oscillator ne twork were reliably transmitted to
the progeny cells. However, significant variations in oscil latory phases and amplitudes were
observed between daughter cells, and internal noise was pro posed as a plausible decorrela-
tion mechanism. These variations suggest that, in order to c ircumvent the effects of noise,
naturally-occurring oscillators might need some addition al form of control. Indeed, an im-
portant aspect of this study was its focus on the utilization of synthetic networks as tools
for biological inference. In this regard, the repressilato r work provides potentially valuable
information pertaining to the design principles of other os cillatory systems, such as circadian
clocks.
These studies represent important advances in the engineer ing-based methodology of
synthetic network design. In all three, the experimental be havior is consistent with pre-
dictions which arise from continuum dynamical modeling. Fu rther, theoretical models were
utilized to determine design criteria, lending support to t he notion of an engineering-based
approach to genetic network design. These criteria include d the use of strong constitutive
promoters, effective transcriptional repression, coopera tive protein interactions, and similar
protein degradation rates. In the immediate future, the con struction and analysis of a circuit
containing an activating control element (i.e., a positive feedback system) appears to be a
next logical step.
In this work, we present several models describing the desig n of synthetic networks in
7prokaryotic organisms. Specifically, we will utilize genet ic components from the virus bacte-
riophage λ. While other quantitative studies have concentrated on the switching properties
of the λphage circuitry [9, 12, 18, 38], we focus on its value as a part s list for designing
synthetic networks. Importantly, the biochemical reactio ns that constitute the control of λ
phage are very well characterized; the fundamental biochem ical reactions are understood,
and the equilibrium association constants are known [9, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50]. In its naturally
occurring state, λphage infects the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli ). Upon infection, the
evolution of λphage proceeds down one of two pathways. The lysispathway entails the viral
destruction of the host, creating hundreds of phage progeny in the process. These progeny
can then infect other bacteria. The lysogenous pathway involves the incorporation of the
phage DNA into the host genome. In this state, the virus is abl e to dormantly pass on its
DNA through the bacterial progeny. The extensive interest i nλphage lies in its ability
to perform a remarkable trick; if an E. coli cell infected with a lysogen is endangered (i.e.
exposure to UV radiation), the lysogen will quickly switch t o the lysis pathway and abandon
the challenged host cell.
The biochemistry of the viral “abandon-ship” response is a t extbook example [36] of
cellular regulation via a naturally-occurring genetic swi tch. The lytic and lysogenic states
are controlled by the croandcIgenes, respectively. These genes are regulated by what are
known as the PRM(cIgene) and PR(crogene) promoters. They overlap in an operator
region consisting of the three binding sites OR1, OR2, and OR 3, and the Cro and λrepres-
sor (“repressor”, the cIproduct) protein actively compete for these binding sites. When
the Cro protein (product of crogene) binds to these sites, it induces lysis. When repressor
binds, lysogeny is maintained and lysis suppressed. When po tentially fatal DNA damage is
sensed by an E. coli host, part of the cellular response is to attempt DNA repair t hrough the
activation of a protein called RecA. λphage has evolved to utilize RecA as a signal; RecA
degrades the viral repressor protein and Cro subsequently a ssumes control of the promoter
region. Once Cro is in control, lysis ensues and the switch is thrown.
83 Bistability in a Single-Gene Network
In this section, we develop a quantitative model describing the regulation of the PRMoperator
region of λphage. We envision that our system is a DNA plasmid consistin g of the promoter
region and cIgene.
As noted above, the promoter region contains the three opera tor sites known as OR1,
OR2, and OR3. The basic dynamical properties of this network , along with a categorization
of the biochemical reactions, are as follows. The gene cIexpresses repressor (CI), which in
turn dimerizes and binds to the DNA as a transcription factor . This binding can take place
at one of the three binding sites OR1, OR2, or OR3. The binding affinities are such that,
typically, binding proceeds sequentially; the dimer first b inds to the OR1 site, then OR2,
and lastly OR3 [37]. Positive feedback arises due to the fact that downstream transcription
is enhanced by binding at OR2, while binding at OR3 represses transcription, effectively
turning off production and thereby constituting a negative f eedback loop.
The chemical reactions describing the network are naturall y divided into two categories
– fast and slow. The fast reactions have rate constants of ord er seconds, and are therefore
assumed to be in equilibrium with respect to the slow reactio ns, which are described by rates
of order minutes. If we let X,X2, and Ddenote the repressor, repressor dimer, and DNA
promoter site, respectively, then we may write the equilibr ium reactions
X+XK1⇀↽X2 (1)
D+X2K2⇀↽D1
D1+X2K3⇀↽D2D1
D2D1+X2K4⇀↽D3D2D1
where Didenotes dimer binding to the OR isite, and the Ki=ki/k−iare equilibrium
constants. We let K3=σ1K2andK4=σ2K2, so that σ1andσ2represent binding strengths
relative to the dimer-OR1 strength.
The slow irreversible reactions are transcription and degr adation. If no repressor is bound
9to the operator region, or if a single repressor dimer is boun d to OR1, transcription proceeds
at a normal unenhanced rate. If, however, a repressor dimer i s bound to OR2, the binding
affinity of RNA polymerase to the promoter region is enhanced, leading to an amplification of
transcription. Degradation is essentially due to cell grow th. We write the reactions governing
these processes as
D+Pkt→D+P+nX (2)
D1+Pkt→D1+P+nX
D2D1+Pαkt→D2D1+P+nX
Xkx→
where Pdenotes the concentration of RNA polymerase, nis the number of repressor proteins
per mRNA transcript, and α >1 is the degree to which transcription is enhanced by dimer
occupation of OR2.
Defining concentrations as our dynamical variables, x= [X],x2= [X2],d0= [D],
d1= [D1],d2= [D2D1], and d3= [D3D2D1], we can write a rate equation describing the
evolution of the concentration of repressor,
˙x=−2k1x2+ 2k−1x2+nktp0(d0+d1+αd2)−kxx (3)
where we assume that the concentration of RNA polymerase p0remains constant during
time.
We next eliminate x2and the difrom Eq. (3) as follows. We utilize the fact that the
reactions in Eq. (1) are fast compared to expression and degr adation, and write algebraic
expressions
x2=K1x2(4)
d1=K2d0x2= (K1K2)d0x2
d2=K3d1x2=σ1(K1K2)2d0x4
d3=K4d2x2=σ1σ2(K1K2)3d0x6
10Further, the total concentration of DNA promoter sites dTis constant, so that
mdT=d0(1 +K1K2x2+σ1(K1K2)2x4+σ1σ2(K1K2)3x6) (5)
where mis the copy number for the plasmid, i.e., the number of plasmi ds per cell.
We next eliminate two of the parameters by rescaling the repr essor concentration x
and time. To this end, we define the dimensionless variables /tildewidex=x√K1K2and/tildewidet=
t(ktp0dTn√K1K2). Upon substitution into Eq. (3), we obtain
˙x=m(1 +x2+ασ1x4)
1 +x2+σ1x4+σ1σ2x6−γxx (6)
where γx=kx/(dTnktp0√K1K2), the time derivative is with respect to /tildewidet, and we have
suppressed the overbar on x. The equilibrium constants are K1= 5.0×107M−1and
K2= 3.3×108M−1[9, 46, 48, 49], so that the transformation from the dimensio nless vari-
able x to the total concentration of repressor (monomeric an d dimeric forms) is given by
[CI]= (7 .7x+ 3.0x2) nM. The scaling of time involves the parameter kt, and since transcrip-
tion and translation are actually a complex sequence of reac tions, it is difficult to give this
lump parameter a numerical value. However, in Ref. [58], it i s shown that, by utilizing a
model for the lysogenous state of the λphage, a consistency argument yields a value for the
product of parameters ( dtnktp0) = 87 .6 nM min−1. This leads to a transformation from the
dimensionless time /tildewidetto time measured in minutes of t(minutes ) = 0.089/tildewidet.
Since equations similar to Eq. (3) often arise in the modelin g of genetic circuits (see
Refs. [53]) of this Focus Issue), it is worth noting the speci fics of its functional form. The first
term on the right hand side of Eq. (6) represents production o f repressor due to transcription.
The even polynomials in xoccur due to dimerization and subsequent binding to the prom oter
region. As noted above, the σiprefactors denote the relative affinities for dimer binding t o
OR1 versus that of binding to OR2 ( σ1) and OR3 ( σ2). The prefactor α >1 on the x4term
is present because transcription is enhanced when the two op erator sites OR1 and OR2 are
occupied ( x2x2). The x6term represents the occupation of all three operator sites, and arises
11in the denominator because dimer occupation of OR3 inhibits polymerase binding and shuts
off transcription.
For the operator region of λphage, we have σ1∼2,σ2∼0.08, and α∼11 [9, 46, 48, 49],
so that the parameters γxandmin Eq. (6) determine the steady-state concentration of
repressor. The parameter γxis directly proportional to the protein degradation rate, a nd
in the construction of artificial networks, it can be utilize d as a tunable parameter. The
integer parameter mrepresents the number of plasmids per cell. While this param eter is not
accessible during an experiment, it is possible to design a p lasmid with a given copy number,
with typical values in the range of 1-100.
The nonlinearity of Eq. (6) leads to a bistable regime in the s teady state concentration of
repressor, and in Figure 1A we plot the steady-state concent ration of repressor as a function
of the parameter γx. The bistability arises as a consequence of the competition between the
production of xalong with dimerization and its degradation. For certain pa rameter values,
the initial concentration is irrelevant, but for those that more closely balance production and
loss, the final concentration is determined by the initial va lue.
Before turning to the next section, we make one additional ob servation regarding the
synonymous issues of the general applicability of a synthet ic network and experimental mea-
surement. In experimental situations, a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is often employed
as a measurement tag known as a reporter gene. This is done by i nserting the gene encoding
GFP adjacent to the gene of interest, so that the reporter pro tein is produced in tandem
with the protein of interest. In the context of the formulati on given above, we can generalize
Eq. (6) to include the dynamics of the reporter protein,
˙x=f(x)−γxx (7)
˙g=f(x)−γgg
where f(x) is the nonlinear term in Eq. (6), γg=kg/(dTnktp0√K1K2), and the GFP con-
centration is scaled by the same factor as repressor ( /tildewideg=g√K1K2). In analogy with the
equation for x,kgis the degradation rate for GFP, and we have assumed that the n umber
12of proteins per transcript nis the same for both processes. This ability to co-transcrib e two
genes from the same promoter and transcribe in tandem has two important consequences.
First, since proteins are typically very stable, it is often desirable to substantially increase
their degradation rate in order to access some nonlinear reg ime [21, 22]. Such a high degra-
dation rate typically will lead to a low protein concentrati on, and this, in turn, can induce
detection problems. The utilization of a GFP-type reporter protein can help to mitigate this
problem, since its degradation rate can be left at a relative ly low value. Second, and perhaps
more importantly, are the significant implications for the g enerality of designer networks; in
prokaryotic organisms, anyprotein can be substituted for GFP and co-transcribed, so th at
one network design can be utilized in a myriad of situations.
4 A Noise-Based Protein Switch
We now focus on parameter values leading to bistability, and consider how an external noise
source can be utilized to alter the production of protein. Ph ysically, we take the dynamical
variables xandgdescribed above to represent the protein concentrations wi thin a colony of
cells, and consider the noise to act on many copies of this col ony. In the absence of noise,
each colony will evolve identically to one of the two fixed poi nts, as discussed above. The
presence of a noise source will at times modify this simple be havior, whereby colony-to-colony
fluctuations can induce novel behavior.
Noise in the form of random fluctuations arises in biochemica l networks in one of two
ways. As discussed elsewhere in this Focus Issue [52], internal noise is inherent in biochem-
ical reactions, often arising due to the relatively small nu mbers of reactant molecules. On
the other hand, external noise originates in the random variation of one or more of the
externally-set control parameters, such as the rate consta nts associated with a given set of
reactions. If the noise source is small, its effect can often b e incorporated post hoc into the
rate equations. In the case of internal noise, this is done in an attempt to recapture the lost
information embodied in the rate-equation approximation. But in the case of external noise,
13one often wishes to introduce some new phenomenon where the d etails of the effect are not
precisely known. In either case, the governing rate equatio ns are augmented with additive
or multiplicative stochastic terms. These terms, viewed as a random perturbation to the
deterministic picture, can induce various effects, most not ably, switching between potential
attractors (i.e., fixed points, limit cycles, chaotic attra ctors) [54].
In previous work, the effects of coupling between an external noise source and both
the basal production rate and the transcriptional enhancem ent process were examined [55].
Here, we analyze the effect of a noise source which alters prot ein degradation. Since the
mathematical formulation is similar to that of Ref. [55], ou r goal here is to reproduce the
phenomenology of that work under different assumptions. As i n Ref.[55], we posit that the
external noise effect will be small and can be treated as a rand om perturbation to our existing
treatment; we envision that events induced will be interact ions between the external noise
source and the protein degradation rate, and that this will t ranslate to a rapidly varying
protein degradation embodied in the external parameters γxandγg. In order to introduce
this effect, we generalize the model of the previous section s uch that random fluctuations
enter Eq. (7) multiplicatively,
˙x=f(x)−(γx−ξx(t))x (8)
˙g=f(x)−(γg−ξg(t))g (9)
where the ξi(t) are rapidly fluctuating random terms with zero mean ( < ξi(t)>= 0). In order
to encapsulate the independent random fluctuations, we make the standard requirement
that the autocorrelation be “ δ-correlated”, i.e., the statistics of the ξi(t) are such that <
ξi(t)ξj(t′)>=Dδi,j(t−t′), with Dproportional to the strength of the perturbation, and we
have assumed that the size of the induced fluctuations is the s ame for both proteins.
Since, in Eqs. (8) and (9), the reporter protein concentrati ongdoes not couple to the
equation for the repressor concentration, the qualitative behavior of the set of equations
may be obtained by analyzing x. We first define a change of variables which transforms the
14multiplicative Langevin equation to an additive one. Letti ngx=ez, Eq. (8) becomes,
˙z=1 +e2z+ 22e4z
ez+e3z+ 2e5z+.16e7z−γx+ξx(t) (10)
≡g(z) +ξx(t)
Eq. (10) can be rewritten as:
˙z=−∂φ(z)
∂z+ξx(t) (11)
where the potential φ(z) is introduced:
φ(z) =−/integraldisplay
g(z)dz (12)
φ(z) can be viewed as an “energy landscape”, whereby zis considered the position of a
particle moving in the landscape. One such landscape is plot ted in Fig. 1B. Note that the
stable fixed points correspond to the minima of the potential φin Fig. 1b, and the effect of
the additive noise term is to cause random kicks to the partic le (system state point) lying
in one of these minima. On occasion, a sequence of kicks may en able the particle to escape
a local minimum and reside in a new valley.
In order to analyze Eq. (11), one typically introduces the pr obability distribution P(z, t),
which is effectively the probability of finding the system in a statezat time t. Then, given
Eq. (11), a Fokker-Planck (FP) equation for P(z, t) can be constructed [56]. The steady-state
solution for this equation is given by
Ps(z) =Ae−2
Dφ(z)(13)
where Ais a normalization constant determined by requiring the int egral of Ps(z) over all z
be unity.
Using the steady-state distribution, the steady-state mea n (ssm), < z > ss, is given by
< z > ss=/integraldisplay∞
0zAe−2
Dφ(z)dz (14)
15In Fig. 1C, we plot the ssm value of zas a function of D, obtained by numerically integrating
Eq. (14). It can be seen that the ssm of z increases with D, corresponding to the increasing
likelihood of populating the upper state in Fig. 1B.
Figure 1C indicates that the external noise can be used to con trol the ssm concentration.
As a candidate application, consider the following protein switch. Given parameter values
leading to the landscape of Fig. 1B, we begin the switch in the “off” position by tuning the
noise strength to a very low value. This will cause a high popu lation in the lower state, and
a correspondingly low value of the concentration. Then at so me time later, consider pulsing
the system by increasing the noise to some large value for a sh ort period of time, followed
by a decrease back to the original low value. The pulse will ca use the upper state to become
populated, corresponding to a concentration increase and a flipping of the switch to the “on”
position. As the pulse quickly subsides, the upper state rem ains populated as the noise is
not of sufficient strength to drive the system across either ba rrier (on relevant time scales).
To return the switch to the off position, the upper-state popu lation needs to be decreased to
a low value. This can be achieved by applying a second noise pu lse of intermediate strength.
This intermediate value is chosen large enough so as to enhan ce transitions to the lower
state, but small enough as to remain prohibitive to upper-st ate transitions.
Figure 1D depicts the time evolution of the switching proces s for noise pulses of strengths
D= 1.0 and D= 0.1. Initially, the concentration begins at a level of ∼0.4µM, correspond-
ing to a low noise value of D= 0.01. At 40 minutes, a noise burst of strength D= 1.0 is
used to drive the concentration to a value of ∼2.2µM. Following this burst, the noise is
returned to its original value. At 80 minutes, a second noise burst of strength D= 0.1 is
used to return the concentration to its original value.
5 A Genetic Relaxation Oscillator
The repressillator represents an impressive step towards t he generation of controllable in vivo
genetic oscillations. However, there were significant cell -to-cell variations, apparently arising
16from small molecule number fluctuations [21, 35]. In order to circumvent such variability,
the utilization of hysteresis-based oscillations has rece ntly been proposed [35]. In this work,
it was shown how a model circadian network can oscillate reli ably in the presence of internal
noise. In this section, we describe an implementation of suc h an oscillator, based on the
repressor network of Section 3.
The hysteretic effect in Fig. 1A can be employed to induce osci llations, provided we can
couple the network to a slow subsystem that effectively drive s the parameter γx. This can
be done by inserting a repressor protease under the control o f a separate PRMpromoter
region. The network is depicted in Fig. 2A. On one plasmid, we have the network of Section
3; the repressor protein CI, which is under the control of the promoter PRM, stimulates its
own production at low concentrations and shuts off the promot er at high concentrations.
On a second plasmid, we again utilize the PRMpromoter region, but here we insert the
gene encoding the protein RcsA. The crucial interaction is b etween RcsA and CI; RcsA
is a protease for repressor, effectively inactivating its ab ility to control the PRMpromoter
region [57].
The equations governing this network can be deduced from Eq. (6) by noting the following.
First, both RcsA and repressor are under the control of the sa me promoter, so that the
functional form of the production term f(x) in Eq.(6) will be the same for both proteins.
Second, we envision our network as being constructed from tw o plasmids – one for repressor
and one for RcsA, and that we have control over the number of pl asmids per cell (copy
number) of each type. Lastly, the interaction of the RcsA and repressor proteins leads to the
degradation of repressor. Putting these facts together, an d letting ydenote the concentration
of RcsA, we have
˙x=mxf(x)−γxx−γxyxy (15)
=mxf(x)−γ(y)x
˙y=myf(x)−γyy
17where γ(y)≡γx+γxyy, and mxandmydenote the plasmid copy numbers for the two
species.
In Fig. 2B, we present simulation results for the concentrat ion of repressor as a function
time. The nature of the oscillations can be understood using Fig. 1A. Suppose we begin
with a parameter value of γ(y) = 4 and on the upper branch of the figure. The large
value of repressor will then serve to activate the promoter f or the RcsA, and thus lead to
its increased production. An increase in the RcsA acts as an a dditive degradation term
for repressor (see Eq. 15), and thus effectively induces slow motion to the right on the
upper branch of Fig. 1A. This motion will continue until the r epressor concentration falls
off the upper branch at γ(y)∼5.8. At this point, with the repressor concentration at a
very low value, the promoters are essentially turned off. The n, as RcsA begins to degrade,
the repressor concentration slowly moves to left along the l ower branch of Fig. 1A, until it
encounters the bifurcation point at γ(y)∼3.6. It then jumps to its original high value, with
the entire process repeating and producing the oscillation s in Fig. 2B.
The oscillations in Fig. 2B are for specific parameter values ; of course, not all choices
of parameters will lead to oscillations. The clarification o f the specific parameter values
leading to oscillations is therefore important in the desig n of synthetic networks [21]. For
proteins in their native state, the degradation rates γxandγyare very small, corresponding
to the high degree of stability for most proteins. For exampl e, a consistency argument
applied to a similar model for λphage switching [58] leads to γx∼0.004. However, using
a temperature-sensitive variety of the repressor protein, γxcan be made tunable over many
orders of magnitude. Other techniques, such as SSRA tagging or titration, can be employed
to increase the degradation rate for RcsA. The copy numbers mxandmycan be chosen for a
particular design, and the parameter γxy, which measures the rate of repressor degradation
by RcsA, is unknown.
In Fig. 3A, we present oscillatory regimes for Eq. (15) as a fu nction of γxandγy, and
for two fixed values of the parameter γxy. We see that the oscillatory regime is larger for
18smaller values of the parameter γxy. However, the larger regime corresponds to larger values
of the degradation rate for RcsA. Interestingly, if we take t he native (i.e., without tuning)
degradation rates to be γx∼γy∼0.005, we note that the system is naturally poised very
near the oscillatory regime. In Fig. 3B, we present the oscil latory regime as a function of
γxandγxy, and for two fixed values of γy. The regime is increased for smaller values of
γy, and, in both cases, small values of γxare preferable. Moreover, both Figs. 3A and 3B
indicate that the system will oscillate for arbitrarily small values of the repressor degradation
parameter γx. In Fig. 3C we depict the oscillatory regime as a function of t he copy numbers
mxandmy, and for fixed degradation rates. Importantly, one can adjus t the periodic regime
to account for the unknown parameter γxy. Figure 3C indicates that, for oscillations, one
should choose as large a copy number as possible for the plasm id containing the repressor
protein ( mx). Correspondingly, one should design the RcsA plasmid with a significantly
smaller copy number my.
We now turn briefly to the period of the oscillations. If desig ned genetic oscillations are to
be utilized, an important issue is the dependence of the osci llation period on the parameter
values. In Fig. 4A we plot the oscillation period for our CI-R csA network as a function of
the degradation parameter γy, and for other parameter values corresponding to the lower
wedge of Fig. 3A. We observe that an increase in γywill decrease the period of oscillations.
Further, since the cell-division period for E. coli is∼35−40 minutes, we note that the lower
limit roughly corresponds to this period, and that, at the up per limit, we can expect four
oscillations per cell division. The utilization of tuning t he period of the oscillations to the
cell-division time will be discussed in the next section. In Fig. 4B, we plot the period as a
function of the copy number mx. We observe that the period depends very weakly on the
copy number.
196 Driving the Oscillator
We next turn to the utilization of an intrinsic cellular proc ess as a means of controlling the
oscillations described in the previous section. We will firs t consider a network design which
exhibits self-sustained oscillations (i.e., with paramet ers that are in one of the oscillatory
regions of Fig. 3), and discuss the driving of the oscillator in the context of synchronization.
As a second design, we will consider a synthetic network with parameter values near, but
outside, the oscillatory boundary. In that case, we will sho w how resonance can lead to the
induction of oscillations and amplification of a cellular si gnal.
We suppose that an intrinsic cellular process involves osci llations in the production of
protein U, and that the concentration of Uis given by u=u0sinωt. In order to couple the
oscillations of Uto our network, we imagine inserting the gene encoding repre ssor adjacent
to the gene encoding U. Then, since Uis being transcribed periodically, the co-transcription
of repressor will lead to an oscillating source term in Eq. (1 5),
˙x=mxf(x)−γxx−γxyxy+ Γ sin( ωt) (16)
˙y=myf(x)−γyy
We first consider parameter values as in Fig. 2, so that the con centrations xandyoscillate
in the absence of driving. Here, we are interested in how the d rive affects the “internal”
oscillations. Although there are many interesting propert ies associated with driven nonlinear
equations such as Eq. (16), we focus on the conditions whereb y the periodic drive can cause
the dynamics to shift the internal frequency and entrain to t he external drive frequency ω.
We utilize the numerical bifurcation and continuation pack age CONT [59] to determine the
boundaries of the major resonance regions. These boundarie s are depicted in the parameter-
space plot of Fig. 5A, where the period of the drive is plotted versus the drive amplitude.
The resonance regions form the so-called Arnold tongues, wh ich display an increasing range
of the locking period as the amplitude of drive is increased. Without the periodic drive, the
period of the autonomous oscillations is equal to 14.6 minut es. As one might expect, the
20dominant Arnold tongue is found around this autonomous peri od. Within this resonance
region, the period of the oscillations is entrained, and is e qual to the external periodic force.
The second largest region of frequency locking occurs for pe riods of forcing which are close
to half of the period of the autonomous oscillations. As a res ult of the periodic driving,
we observe 1:2 locking, whereby the system responds with one oscillatory cycle, while the
drive has undergone two cycles. Other depicted resonant reg ions (3:2, 2:1, 5:2, 3:1) display
significantly narrower ranges for locking periods. This sug gests that higher order frequency
locking will be less common and probably unstable in the pres ence of noise. Outside the
resonance regions shown in Fig. 5A one can find a rich structur e of very narrow M:N locking
regions with M and N quite large, together with quasiperiodi c oscillations. The order of
resonances along the drive period axis is given by the Farey s equence [60], i.e. in between
two resonance regions characterized by rational numbers, M 1:N1and M 2:N2, there is a region
with ratio (M 1+M2):(N1+N2).
The preceding notions correspond to the driving of genetic n etworks which are intrinsi-
cally oscillating. We now turn to a network designed with par ameter values just outside the
oscillatory region, and consider the use of resonance in the following application. Suppose
there is a cellular process that depends critically on oscil lations of a given amplitude. We
seek a strategy for modifying the amplitude of this process i f, for some reason, it is too small.
For concreteness, consider a cellular process linked to the cell-division period of the host for
our synthetic network. For E. coli cells at a temperature of ∼37 degrees C, this period is
of order 35 −40 minutes. Using Figs. 3A and 4A, we can deduce parameter val ues that will
cause a CI-RscA network to oscillate, when driven, with this period. The lower wedge of
Fig. 3A implies that, for γxy= 0.1, we should design the network with values of γxandγy
just below the lower boundary of the wedge. Fig. 4A implies th at, for γx= 0.1, a choice
ofγy= 0.004 will yield oscillations with a period close to the cell-d ivision period. In order
to stay outside the oscillatory region, we therefore choose γyjust below this value. Taken
together, these choices will yield a network whereby oscill ations can be induced by cellular
21processes related to cell division. In Fig. 6A, we plot the dr ive versus response amplitudes (Γ
vs Γ x) obtained from numerical integration of Eq. (16). We see tha t, depending on the prox-
imity to the oscillatory region, oscillations are triggere d when the drive reaches some critical
amplitude. In Fig. 6B, we plot the gain g≡(Γ + Γ x)/Γ as a function of the drive amplitude
Γ, and observe that, for certain values of the amplitude of th e drive, the network can induce
a significant gain.
7 Harnessing the Lambda Switch
The ability to switch between multiple stable states is a cri tical first step towards sophis-
ticated cellular control schemes. Nonlinearities giving r ise to two stable states suggest the
possibility of using these states as digital signals to be pr ocessed in cellular-level computa-
tions (see, for example, [33, 34]). One may eventually be abl e to produce systems in which
sequences of such switching events are combined to control g ene expression in complex ways.
In any such application, the speed with which systems make tr ansitions between their sta-
ble states will act as a limiting factor on the time scales at w hich cellular events may be
controlled. In this section, we describe a bistable switch b ased on the mechanism used by λ
phage, and show that such a system offers rapid switching time s.
The genetic network of λphage switches its host bacterium from the dormant lysogeno us
state to the lytic growth state in roughly twenty minutes [51 ]). As discussed in Section 2, the
regulatory network implementing this exceptionally fast s witch has two main features: two
proteins (CI and Cro) compete directly for access to promote r sites; and one of the proteins
(CI) positively regulates its own level of transcription. H ere, we compare a synthetic switch
based on the λphage’s switching mechanism to another two-protein switch (the toggle switch
described in Ref. [22]), and numerically show that the λ-like system offers a faster switching
time under comparable conditions.
To implement the synthetic λswitch, we use the plasmid described in Section 3, on
which the PRMpromoter controls the expression of the λrepressor protein, CI. To this,
22we add a second plasmid on which the PRpromoter is used to control the expression of
Cro. The operator regions OR1, OR2, and OR3 exist on each plas mid, and both proteins
are capable of binding to these regions on either of the plasm ids. On the PRM-promoter
plasmid, transcription of CI takes place whenever there is n o protein (of either type) bound
to OR3; when CI is bound to OR2, the rate of CI transcription is enhanced. On the PR-
promoter plasmid, Cro is transcribed only when operator sit e OR3 is either clear, or has a
Cro dimer bound to it; either protein being bound to either OR 1 or OR2 has the effect of
halting the transcription of Cro.
Letting yrepresent the concentration of Cro, the competition for ope rator sites leads to
equations of the form ˙ x=f(x, y)−γxx, ˙y=g(x, y)−γyy. We derive the form of these
equations by following the process described in Section 3. A s with the CI plasmid of that
section, we have Eq. 1 describing the equilibrium reactions for the binding of CI to the
various operator sites. To these, we add the reactions entai ling the binding of Cro, and the
reactions in which both proteins are bound simultaneously t o different operator sites:

where Yrepresents the Cro monomer, and Dp
irepresents binding of protein pto the OR i
site. For the operator region of λphage, we have β1≃β2≃β3∼0.08, and β4≃β5∼1
[46, 48, 49]
The transcriptional processes are as follows. Transcripti on of repressor takes place when
23there is no protein (of either type) bound to OR3. When repres sor is bound to OR2, the
rate of repressor transcription is enhanced, and Cro is tran scribed only when OR3 is either
vacant, or has a Cro dimer bound to it. If either repressor or C ro is bound to either OR1
or OR2, the production of Cro is halted. These processes, alo ng with degradation, yield the
following irreversible reactions,

The derivatives are with respect to dimensionless time, wit h scaling as in Section 3; ˜t=
t(ktxp0dTnx√K1K2), where ktxis the transcription rate constant for CI, and nxis the number
of CI monomers per mRNA transcript. The integers mxandmyrepresent the plasmid copy
numbers for the two species; ρyis a constant related to the scaling of yrelative to x. The
parameters γxandγyare directly proportional to the decay rates of CI and Cro, re spectively;
24we will tune these values to cause transitions between stabl e states. The system exhibits
bistability over a wide range of parameter values, and we plo t the null-clines in Fig. 7A.
For comparison, we now consider the co-repressive toggle sw itch briefly reviewed in sec-
tion 2 [22]. This switch uses the CI and Lac proteins, where ea ch protein shuts off transcrip-
tion from the other protein’s promoter region. The experime ntal design was guided by the
model equations,
˙u=α1
1 +vδ−u (20)
˙v=α2
1 +/bracketleftbigg
u
(1+[IPTG ]

where uandvare dimensionless concentrations of the Lac and CI proteins , respectively,
and the time derivatives are with respect to a dimensionless time: τ=kdt, with kd=
2.52h−1[12, 18] being the protein decay rate. The dimensionless par ameters α1,α2,δ, and
µdefine the basic model. The CI protein used in the experiments is temperature-sensitive,
changing its rate of degradation with temperature[66, 67]; we modify the original model
slightly to include the factor k, which represents a varying decay rate for the CI protein.
Switching is induced either by changing k, or by adjusting the concentration of isopropyl- β-
D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG); the parameters K= 2.9618×10−5M and η= 2.0015 define
the effect of the inducer molecule IPTG on the Lac protein. Ove r a wide range of parameter
values, the system has two stable fixed points; the null-clin es are shown in Figure 7B.
The time courses of switching between stable states in the tw o models are shown in
Figure 8; transitions are induced by eliminating the bistab ility, then restoring it. The precise
time course of switching from one stable state to another is d etermined by the way in which
the model parameters are adjusted to eliminate the bistabil ity. In each case, some parameter
is increased until the system passes through a saddle node bi furcation: two stable fixed points
and one unstable fixed point collapse into a single stable poi nt. In an effort to examine the
behaviour of the two systems under analogous conditions, we eliminate the bistability in
every case by setting the system to a parameter value 10% past the bifurcation point.
25The transitions shown in Figure 8 are generated as follows. T he system begins (0-1
hour) in its default bistable state, sitting at one of the two stable fixed points. Then (1–4
hours) the bistability is eliminated (as described above), with the only remaining fixed point
being such that the other protein has a high concentration. O nce the concentrations have
switched, the default parameters are restored and the syste m moves to the nearby stable
fixed point (4–7 hours). Finally, the system is rendered mono stable again (7–10 hours),
causing another transition, followed by a period (10–11 hou rs) during which the bistable
parameters are restored.
Under the conditions shown, the λswitch model displays significantly more rapid tran-
sitions between its stable states than those seen in the mode l of the toggle switch. The
numerical results indicate that the properties of the λswitch do offer an advantage in terms
of the speed of transitions, indicating that it may be fruitf ul to study synthetic models based
on this natural system. Future analytical work on models suc h as the one presented in this
section may allow us to make more precise statements regardi ng the source of this advantage.
8 Conclusion
From an engineering perspective, the control of cellular fu nction through the design and
manipulation of gene regulatory networks is an intriguing p ossibility. Current examples of
potential applicability range from the use of genetically e ngineered microorganisms for envi-
ronmental cleanup purposes [68], to the flipping of genetic s witches in mammalian neuronal
cells [69]. While the experimental techniques employed in s tudies of this nature are certainly
impressive, it is clear that reliable theoretical tools wou ld be of enormous value. On a strictly
practical level, such techniques could potentially reduce the degree of “trial-and-error” ex-
perimentation. More importantly, computational and theor etical approaches will lead to
testable predictions regarding the current understanding of complex biological networks.
While other studies have centered on certain aspects of natu rally-occurring genetic regu-
latory networks [9, 12, 13, 14, 18, 24, 25, 38, 39], an alterna tive approach is to focus on the
26design of synthetic networks. Such an engineering-based ap proach has significant technolog-
ical implications, and will lead, in a complementary fashio n, to an enhanced understanding
of biological design principles. In this work, we have shown how several synthetic networks
can be designed from the genetic machinery of the virus λphage. We have highlighted some
of the possible behavior of these networks through the discu ssion of the design of two types
of switches and a relaxation oscillator. Additionally, in t he case of the oscillator, we have
coupled the network to an existing cellular process. Such co upling could lead to possible
strategies for entraining or inducing network oscillation s in cellular protein levels, and prove
useful in the design of networks that interact with cellular processes that require precise
timing.
With regard to model formulation, there are several intrigu ing areas for further work.
For one, the number of molecules governing the biochemistry of genetic networks is of-
ten relatively small, leading to interesting issues involv ing internal noise. Recent pivotal
work [17, 18, 27] has led to a systematic modeling approach wh ich utilizes a Monte Carlo-
type simulation of the biochemical reactions [61]. While th is approach is impressively com-
plete, its complexity makes analysis nearly impossible. An alternative approach could entail
the use of Langevin equations, whereby the effects of interna l noise are incorporated into
stochastic terms whose magnitudes are concentration-depe ndent. Indeed, in the context of
genetic switches, this approach has recently been suggeste d [62]. The advantage of this
formulation is that stochastic effects can be viewed as a pert urbation to the deterministic
picture, so that analytic tools can be utilized.
A potentially important technical issue involves the impli cit assumption that the reactions
take place in three-dimensional space. While this assumpti on is perhaps the most natural,
proteins have been observed sliding along a DNA molecule in s earch of a promoter region [64],
so that protein-DNA reactions might effectively take place o n a surface. While this would
not alter the qualitative form of Eq. (6), the exponents on th e variable xcould take on other
values [65], and this, in turn, could lead to significant quan titative differences.
27It has been nearly 30 years since the pioneering theoretical work on interacting genetic
networks [1]-[8]. Due, in part, to the inherent complexity o f regulatory networks, the true
significance of these studies had to await technological adv ances. Current progress in the
study of both naturally occurring and synthetic genetic net works suggests that, as the pio-
neers envisioned, tools from nonlinear dynamics and statis tical physics will play important
roles in the description and manipulation of the dynamics un derlying cellular control.

the steady-state concentration of repressor versus the mod el parameter γx. (B) The energy
landscape. Stable equilibrium values of Eq. (10) (with D= 0) correspond to the valleys
atz=−1.6 and 0 .5, with an unstable value at z=−0.52. (B) Steady-state probability
distributions for noise strengths of D= 0.04 (solid line) and D= 0.4 (dotted line). (C)
The steady-state equilibrium value of zplotted versus noise strength. The corresponding
concentration will increas as the noise causes the upper sta te of (B) to become increasingly
populated. (D) Simulation of Eqs. (8) and (9) demonstrating the utilization of external
noise for protein switching. Initially, the concentration begins at a level of [GFP] ∼0.4µM
corresponding to a low noise value of D= 0.01. After 40 minutes, a large 2-minute noise
pulse of strength D= 1.0 is used to drive the concentration to ∼2.2µM. Following this
pulse, the noise is returned to its original value. At 80 minu tes, a smaller 10-minute noise
pulse of strength D= 0.1 is used to return the concentration to near its original val ue. The
simulation technique is that of Ref. [63].
FIG. 2. The relaxation oscillator. (A) Schematic of the circ uit. The PRMpromoter is
used on two plasmids to control the production of repressor ( X) and RcsA (Y). After dimer-
ization, repressor acts to turn on both plasmids through its interaction at PRM. As its
promoter is activated, RcsA concentrations rise, leading t o an induced reduction of repres-
sor. (B) Simulation of Eqs. (15). Oscillations arise as the R csA-induced degradation of
repressor causes a transversal of the hysteresis diagram in Fig. 1A. The parameter values are
mx= 10, my= 1,γx= 0.1,γy= 0.01, and γxy= 0.1.
FIG. 3. Oscillatory regimes for the relaxation oscillator. (A) The bifurcation wedge is
larger for smaller values of the parameter γxy. This larger regime corresponds to larger
values of the RcsA degradation parameter γy. Note that the native (i.e., without tuning)
36degradation rates of γx∼γy∼0.005 are very near the oscillatory regime. (B) Bifurcation
diagrams as a function of γxandγxy, and for two fixed values of γy. The oscillatory regime
is increased for smaller values of γy, and, in both cases, small values of γxare preferable
for oscillations. (C) The bifurcation diagram as a function of the copy numbers mxand
my, and for fixed degradation rates. Importantly, one can adjus t the periodic regime to
account for the unknown parameter γxy. The figure also indicates that, for oscillations, one
should choose as large a copy number as possible for the plasm id containing the repressor
protein ( mx). In (A) and (B), constant parameter values are mx= 10 and my= 1, and in
(C)γx= 1.0 and γy= 0.01.
FIG. 4. Parameter dependence of the oscillatory period. (A) An increase in γydecreases
the period of oscillations. (B) The period depends very weak ly on the copy number. In (A)
mx= 10 and in (B) γy= 0.01, and for both plots, other parameter values are γx= 0.1,
γxy= 0.1, and my= 1.
FIG. 5. Dynamics of a periodically driven relaxation oscill ator - Eq.(15); γx= 0.1,γy= 0.01,
γxy= 0.1. (A) Resonant regions in period-amplitude parametric pla ne. Solid lines (limit
lines of periodic solutions) together with dashed (period d oubling) lines define boundaries
of stable periodic solutions for a given phase locking regio n M:N, where M is the number of
relaxation oscillation and N is the number of driving sinuso idal oscillations. (B,C,D) Oscilla-
tions in periodically driven repressor (top curve) concent ration together with the oscillations
of the sinusoidal driving (bottom curve). (B) 1:1 synchroni zation; the 14.6 minute period of
cI oscillations is equal to the driving period. (C) 1:2 phase locking; the 29.2 minute period
of the cI oscillations is twice as long as the driving period. (D) 2:1 phase locking; the 7.6
minute period of the cI oscillations is equal to one half of th e driving period.
FIG. 6. (A) As a function of the driving amplitude Γ, the ampli tude Γ xof the induced
37network oscillations shows a sharp increase for a critical v alue of the drive. The critical
value corresponds to a drive large enough to induce the hyste retic oscillations, and it in-
creases as one decreases γyand moves away from the oscillatory region in parameter spac e.
The three curves denoted 1,2, and 3 are for γyvalues of 0.0038, 0.0036, and 0.0034. (B) The
gain as a function of the drive amplitude for γy= 0.0038. Close to the oscillatory region, a
significant gain in the drive amplitude can be induced. Param eter values for both plots are
γx= 0.1,γxy= 0.1,mx= 10, and my= 1. Note that, corresponding to these values, the
network does not oscillate (without driving) for γy<0.004 (see the bottom wedge of Fig. 3A).

Abstract
Scattering of positronium (Ps) by sodium and potassium atom s has
been investigated employing a three-Ps-state coupled-cha nnel model with
Ps(1s,2s,2p) states using a time-reversal-symmetric regu larized electron-
exchange model potential fitted to reproduce accurate theor etical results for
PsNa and PsK binding energies. We find a narrow S-wave singlet resonance
at 4.58 eV of width 0.002 eV in the Ps-Na system and at 4.77 eV of width
0.003 eV in the Ps-K system. Singlet P-wave resonances in bot h systems are
found at 5.07 eV of width 0.3 eV. Singlet D-wave structures ar e found at 5.3
eV in both systems. We also report results for elastic and Ps- excitation cross
sections for Ps scattering by Na and K.

1Recent successful high precision measurements of positron ium (Ps) scattering by H 2, N2,
He, Ne, Ar, C 4H10, and C 5H12[1,2] have enhanced theoretical activities [3–6] in this su bject.
We suggested [7] a regularized, symmetric, nonlocal electr on-exchange model potential and
used it in the successful study of Ps scattering by H [8], He [7 ,9–11], Ne [11], Ar [11], H 2
[12] and Li [13]. Our results were in agreement with experime ntal total cross sections [1,2],
specially at low energies for He, Ne, Ar and H 2. Moreover, these studies yielded correct
results for resonance and binding energies for the S wave ele ctronic singlet state of Ps-H
[4,8] and Ps-Li [13] systems in addition to experimental pic k-off quenching rate in Ps-He
[10] scattering.
In the present work we use the above exchange potential to stu dy Ps-Na and Ps-K
scattering using the three-Ps-state coupled channel metho d. We find resonances in the
singlet channel at low energies in S, P and D waves of both syst ems near the Ps(2) excitation
threshold. We also report angle-integrated elastic and Ps- excitation cross sections for both
systems.
The appearance of resonances in electron-atom [14] and posi tron-atom [15] scattering,
and in other atomic processes in general, is of great interes t. Several resonances in the
electron-hydrogen system have been found in the close-coup ling calculation and later recon-
firmed in the variational calculation [16]. Resonances have also been found in the close-
coupling calculation of electron scattering by Li, Na and K [ 17]. These resonances provide
the necessary testing ground for a theoretical formulation , which can eventually be detected
experimentally. Detailed dynamical description of the imp ortant degrees of freedom in a
theoretical formulation is necessary for the appearance of these resonances. The ability of
the present exchange potential to reproduce the resonances in diverse Ps-atom systems [8,13]
assures its realistic nature.
The theory for the coupled-channel study of Ps scattering wi th the regularized model
potential has already appeared in the literature [7,8,11] a nd we quote the relevant working
equations here. For target-elastic scattering we solve the following Lippmann-Schwinger
scattering integral equation in momentum space

and the f±are the singlet and triplet scattering amplitudes, respect ively. The quantum
2states are labeled by the indices ν, referring to the Ps atom. The variables k,k′,k′′etc
denote the appropriate momentum states of Ps; kν′′is the on-shell relative momentum of Ps
in the channel ν′′. We use atomic unit (a.u.) where ¯ h=m= 1 with mis the electron mass.
To avoid complication of calculating exchange potential wi th a many-electron wave func-
tion, we consider a frozen-core one-electron approximatio n for the targets Na and K. Such
wave functions have been successfully used for scattering o f alkali metal atoms in other
contexts and also for positronium scattering by Li [5]. The N a(3s) and K(4s) frozen-core

ν′are the binding energies of the initial and final states of Ps i n
a.u., respectively. It has been demonstrated for the Ps-H sy stem that at high energies the
3model-exchange amplitude (5) reduces to [19] the Born-Oppe nheimer exchange amplitude
[20]. This exchange potential for Ps scattering is consider ed [7] to be a generalization of the
Ochkur-Rudge exchange potential for electron scattering [ 21].
After a partial-wave projection, the system of coupled equa tions (1) is solved by the
method of matrix inversion. Forty Gauss-Legendre quadratu re points are used in the dis-
cretization of each momentum-space integral. The calculat ion is performed with the exact
Ps wave functions and frozen-core orbitals (2) and (3) for Na and K ground state. We
consider Ps-Na and Ps-K scattering using the three-Ps-stat e model that includes the fol-
lowing states: Ps(1s)Na(3s), Ps(2s)Na(3s), Ps(2p)Na(3s) , and Ps(1s)K(4s), Ps(2s)K(4s),
Ps(2p)K(4s), for Na and K, respectively. The parameter Cof the potential given by (5)
and (6) was adjusted to fit the accurate theoretical results [ 22] for PsNa and PsK binding
energies which are 0.005892 a.u. and 0.003275 a.u., respect ively. We find that C= 0.785
fits both binding energies well in the three-Ps-state model a nd this value of Cis used in all
calculations reported here. The proper strength of the mode l potential is obtained by fitting
the binding energies of the Ps-Na and Ps-K systems, and it is e xpected that this choice of
Cwould lead to a good overall description of scattering in the se systems. We recall that
this value of Calso reproduced the accurate variational result of PsH reso nance energy in a
recent five-state model for Ps-H scattering [8]. A similar va riation of the parameter Cfrom
unity also led to a good overall description of the total scat tering cross section in agreement
with experiment [2] in the Ps-He system in the energy range 0 e V to 70 eV [9].
The Ps-Na and Ps-K systems have an effective attractive inter action in the electronic
singlet channel as in Ps-H [8] and Ps-Li [13] systems. The tar gets of these systems have
one active electron outside a closed shell. In the present th ree-Ps-state calculation we find
resonances in the singlet channel in both systems. No resona nces appear in the triplet
channel possibly because of a predominantly repulsive inte raction in this channel. For the
resonances to appear, the inclusion of the excited states of Ps is fundamental in a coupled-
channel calculation. The static-exchange model with both t he target and Ps in the ground
state does not lead to these resonances. A detailed study of t hese resonances in coupled-
channel study of Ps-H [4,8] and Ps-Li [13] systems in the sing let channel has appeared in
the literature.
Here to study the resonances, first we calculate the S-, P- and D-wave elastic phase
shifts and cross sections in the singlet channel of the Ps-Na and Ps-K systems using the
3-Ps-state model. In figure 1 we show the low-energy singlet S -wave cross sections. The
singlet S-wave phase shifts near the resonance energies are shown in the off-set of figure 1.
The Ps-Na system has a resonance at 4.58 eV of width 0.002 eV. T he resonance in the Ps-K
4system appears at 4.77 eV and has a width 0.003 eV. The phase sh ift curves clearly show
the resonances where the phase shifts jump by π.
In figure 2 we show the singlet P-wave Ps-Na and Ps-K elastic ph ase shifts; the cor-
responding singlet P-wave cross sections are shown in the off -set. Both systems possess
resonances at 5.07 eV of width of 0.3 eV. The cross sections cl early exhibit these resonances.
In figure 3 we plot the D-wave singlet elastic cross sections f or Ps-Na and Ps-K systems at
low energies. There is a structure in both systems at 5.3 eV wh ich is more diffuse than in S
and P waves.
Next we calculate the different partial cross sections of Ps- Na and Ps-K scattering. The
convergence of the cross sections with respect to partial wa ves is slower in this case than in
the case of Ps-H scattering. At a incident Ps energy of 50 eV, 4 0 partial waves were used to
achieve convergence of the partial-wave scheme. In figures 4 and 5 we plot different angle-
integrated partial cross sections of Ps-Na and Ps-K scatter ing, respectively. Specifically, we
plot the elastic, Ps(2s) and Ps(2p) excitation cross sectio ns using the three-Ps-state model.
For comparison we also plot the elastic cross section obtain ed with the static-exchange
model. The elastic cross section is large at low energies in b oth systems. The effect of the
inclusion of highly polarizable Ps(2) states in the couplin g scheme could be considerable,
specially at low energies. The local minima in the three-Ps- state elastic cross section for
both systems at about 4 ∼5 eV are manifestations of the P- and D-wave resonances in thi s
energy region. Similar minima found in electron scattering by alkali-metal atoms are also
consequences of resonances [17].
To summarize, we have performed a three-Ps-state coupled-c hannel calculation of Ps-Na
and Ps-K scattering at low energies using a regularized symm etric nonlocal electron-exchange
model potential [7] successfully used [7–13] previously in different Ps scattering problems.
The only parameter of the model potential was adjusted to fit a ccurate theoretical result for
PsNa and PsK binding [22]. We present the results of angle-in tegrated partial cross sections
at different Ps energies. We find resonances in S, P and D waves n ear the Ps(2) excitation
threshold. In this study we have used a three-Ps-state model . Similar resonances have
been observed in the coupled-channel study of electron-H [1 6], electron-Na, electron-K [17],
positron-hydrogen [15], Ps-H [4,8] and Ps-Li [13] systems. In most cases, a more complete
calculation and (in some cases) experiments have reconfirme d these resonances. Hence we
do not believe that the appearance of resonances in the prese nt three-state calculation to be
so peculiar as to have no general validity. On the contrary, i n view of the correlation found
between resonance and binding energies in the singlet Ps-H s ystem [8], it is expected that
the reproduction of correct binding energies of the Ps-Na an d Ps-K systems in the present
5model should lead to correct resonance energies in these sys tems. However, the resonance
energies might change slightly after a more complete calcul ation (with accurate many-body
wave functions of the target and including the excited state s of the target) and it would be
intersting to study the present resonances using more compl ete theoretical models in the
future in addition to compare the present results with futur e experiments.

Abstract
We present a convergent variational basis-set calculation al scheme for elas-
tic scattering of positronium atom by hydrogen atom in S wave . Highly cor-
related trial functions with appropriate symmetry are need ed for achieving
convergence. We report convergent results for scattering l engths in atomic
units for both singlet (= 3 .49±0.20) and triplet (= 2 .46±0.10) states.

1Lately, there has been interest in the experimental [1] and t heoretical [2–8] studies of
ortho positronium (Ps) atom scattering by different neutral atomic and molecular targets.
The Ps-H system is theoretically the most simple and fundame ntal and a complete under-
standing of this system is necessary before a venture to more complex targets [7–9]. There
have been R-matrix [3], close-coupling (CC) [4,10] and mode l-potential [5,11] calculations
for Ps-H scattering. Here we present a convergent variation al basis-set calculational scheme
for low-energy Ps-H scattering in S wave below the lowest Ps- excitation threshold at 5.1 eV.
Using this method we report numerical results for scatterin g length of electronic singlet and
triplet states.
A recent study based on a regularized nonlocal electron-exc hange model potential [6]
yielded low-energy (total) cross sections in agreement wit h experiment for Ps scattering
by He [6], Ne [7], Ar [7] and H 2[8]. For the Ps-H system the model-potential results for
S-wave singlet binding and resonance energies are in agreem ent with accurate variational
estimates [12]. It would be interesting to see if the model-p otential result for the Ps-H singlet
scattering length agrees with the present convergent calcu lation.
Because of the existence of two identical fermions (electro ns) in the Ps-H system, one
needs to antisymmetrize the full wave function before attem pting a solution of the scattering
problem. The position vectors of the electrons −r1(Ps) and r2(H)−and positron ( x) with
respect to (w.r.t.) the massive proton at the origin are as sh own in figure 1. We also use the
position vectors sj= (x+rj)/2,ρj=x−rj,j= 1,2,r12=r1−r2. The fully antisymmetric
stateψA
kof Ps-H scattering is given by |ψA
k/an}bracketri}ht=A1|ψ1
k/an}bracketri}ht= (1±P12)|ψ1
k/an}bracketri}ht=|ψ1
k/an}bracketri}ht ± |ψ2
k/an}bracketri}htwhere
kis the incident momentum, the antisymmetrizer A1is (1 +P12) for the singlet state and
(1−P12) for the triplet state with P12the permutation operator of electrons 1 and 2. The
functionψ1
krefers to the Ps-H wave function with electron 1 forming the P s as in figure 1
andψ2
krefers to the same with the two electrons interchanged.
The full Ps-H Hamiltonian Hcan be broken in two convenient forms as follows H=
H1+V1=H2+V2whereH1includes the full kinetic energy and intracluster interact ion
of H and Ps for the arrangement shown in figure 1 and V1is the sum of the intercluster
interaction between H and Ps in the same configuration, H2andV2refer to the same
quantities with the two electrons interchanged:

whicha0=e=m= ¯h= 1, where e(m) is the electronic charge (mass) and a0the Bohr
radius. Using the definition of the antisymmetrized state we rewrite (2) as [13]

Using (3), it can be verified that (5) is an identity if exact sc attering wave fumctions ψ1

of|ψ1

of symmetry of the formulation in the presence of explicit an tisymmetrization operator A1.
However, this variational property can be used to formulate a basis-set calculational scheme

(8) and (9) are also valid for the K matrix and in partial-wave form where the momentum-

In the calculation, the basis functions are taken in the foll owing form

whereϕ(r) = exp( −r)/√πandη(ρ) = exp( −0.5ρ)/√
8πrepresent the H(1s) and Ps(1s)
wave functions, respectively. For elastic scattering the d irect Born amplitude is zero and the
exchange correlation dominates scattering. To be consiste nt with this, the direct terms in the
form factors /an}bracketle{tfm|A1V1|φ1
k/an}bracketri}htand/an}bracketle{tφ1
k|A1V1|fn/an}bracketri}htare zero with the above choice of correlations in
the basis functions via γmandµm. This property follows as the above function is invariant
w.r.t. the interchange of xandr1whereas the remaining part of the integrand in the direct
terms changes sign under this transformation. A proper choi ce of the correlation parameters
γmandµmis crucial for obtaining good convergence.
In the following we specialize to the K-matrix formulation i n S wave at zero energy, when
sin(ks1)/(ks1) = 1 in (10). The useful matrix elements of the present approa ch are explicitly

We tested the convergence of the integrals by varying the num ber of integration points in
thex,s1ands2integrals in (21), (23) and (24) and the tintegral in (22). The evaluation of
(21), (23) and (24) essentially involves four-dimensional integration, which is performed with
caution. The xintegration was relatively easy and 20 Gauss-Legendre quad rature points
appropriately distributed between 0 and 16 were enough for c onvergence. In the evaluation
of integrals of type (22) 40 Gauss-Legendre quadrature poin ts were sufficient for adequate
convergence. The convergence in the numerical integration overs1ands2was achieved
with 300 Gauss-Legendre quadrature points between 0 and 12. The maximum value of l
6in the sum in (21), (23) and (24), L, is taken to be 6 which is sufficient for obtaining the
convergence with the partial-wave expansions (16) −(20).

In a numerical calculation a judicial choice of the paramete rs in (10) is needed
for rapid convergence. As the variational method does not pr ovide a bound on the
result, the method could converge to a wrong scattering leng th if an inappropriate
(incomplete) basis set is choosen. After some experimentat ion we find that to ob-
tain proper convergence the parameters δnandαnshould be taken to have both
positive and negative values, γnandµnshould include values close to unity and
βnshould have progressively increasing values till about 1.5 . The results reported
in this work are obtained with the following parameters for t he functions fn,n=
1,...,13:{δn,αn,βn,γn,µn} ≡ {− 0.5,−0.25,0.3,0.01,0.02},{−0.5,−0.25,0.5,0.04,0.02},
{−0.5,−0.25,0.7,0.03,0.06}, {−0.2,−0.1,0.6,0.2,0.2}, {−0.1,0.1,0.8,0.25,0.25},
{0.2,−0.2,0.6,0.35,0.35},{−0.1,−0.1,0.7,0.4,0.4},{0.15,0.2,0.8,0.5,0.5},

{0.3,0.15,1.5,1,1}
In table 1 we show the convergence pattern of the present calc ulation w.r.t. the number
of partial waves Land basis functions Nused in the calculation. The convergence is smooth
with increasing L. However, as the present calculation does not produce a boun d on the
7result, the convergence is not monotonic with increasing N. The lack of an upper bound in
this calculation is clearly revealed in table 1 where the res ults do not decrease monotonically
as the number of terms in the trial wave function is increased . The unbounded nature of
the results is consistent with the noted oscillation of the s cattering lengths as Nincreases.
The oscillation is larger in the singlet state where it is mor e difficult to obtain convergence.
Although, the final result for the largest NandLis supposed to be the most accurate, it
is not known whether this result is larger or smaller than the exact one. Also, an estimate
of error of this result is not known. It is difficult to provide a quantitative measure of
convergence. However, from the noted fluctuation of the resu lts for large NforL= 6
we believe the error in the triplet scattering length to be le ss than 0.10 and in the singlet
scattering length to be less than 0.20. The final results of th e present calculation are those for
N= 13 andL= 6 with the above estimate of error: as= 3.49±0.20 au andat= 2.46±0.10
au.
The maximum number of functions ( N= 13) used in this calculation is also pretty
small, compared to those used in different Kohn-type variati onal calculations for electron-
hydrogen (N= 56) [16] and positron-hydrogen ( N≤286) [17] scattering. Because of the
explicit appearance of the Green’s function, the present ba sis-set approach is similar to the
Schwinger variational method. Using the Schwinger method, convergent results for electron-
hydrogen [18] and positron-hydrogen [19] scattering have b een obtained with a relatively
small basis set ( N∼10). These suggest a more rapid convergence in these problem s with a
Schwinger-type method.
Now we compare the present results with those of other calcul ations. While a static-
exchange calculation by Hara and Fraser [10] yielded as= 7.28 au and at= 2.48 au a
model potential calculation by Drachman and Houston [11] pr oducedas= 5.33 au and
at= 2.36 au. A 22-state R-matrix calculation by Campbell et al. [3] and a six-state CC
calculation by Sinha et al. [4] yielded as= 5.20 au,at= 2.45 au andas= 5.90 au,at= 2.32
au, respectively. These triplet scattering lengths are in q ualitative agreement with the
present result: at= 2.46±0.10. However, the singlet scattering lengths of these calcul ations
have not yet converged. The disagreement in the singlet chan nel shows that it is more
difficult to get the converged result in the attractive single t channel than in the repulsive
8triplet channel. This is consistent with the common wisdom t hat a scattering model at low
energies is more sensitive to the detail of an effective attra ctive interaction than to that of a
repulsive interaction. The nonconvergence of these result s for the singlet scattering length
was conjectured before [5]. Using a correlation between the S-wave scattering length and
binding energy for the Ps-H system, the value as= 3.5 au was predicted in that study [5]
in excellent agreement with the present result: as= 3.49±0.20.
To summarize, we have formulated a convergent basis-set cal culational scheme for S-wave
Ps-H elastic scattering below the lowest inelastic thresho ld using a variational expression for
the transition matrix. We illustrate the method numericall y by calculating the singlet and
triplet scattering lengths: as= 3.49±0.20 au andat= 2.46±0.10 au.

- 1 -On the Dependence of
Electromagnetic Phenomena on
the Relativity of Simultaneity
DOUGLAS M. S NYDER
LOS ANGELES , CALIFORNIA
ABSTRACT
Maxwell's equations hold in inertial reference frames in uniform
translational motion relative to one another. In conjunction with the Lorentz
coordinate transformation equations, the transformation equations for the
electric and magnetic field components in these reference frames can be derived.
As the derivation of the Lorentz coordinate transformation equations dependson the relativity of simultaneity, and indeed on the argument on the relativity ofsimultaneity, electromagnetic phenomena indicate that human cognition is
involved in the structure and functioning of the physical world.
T
EXT
It is known that the relativity of simultaneity underlies the Lorentz
coordinate transformation equations for two inertial reference frames in uniformtranslational motion relative to one another. It has been shown that an arbitrary
decision on the part of the individual considering the two inertial reference
frames as to which is the "stationary" and which the "moving" reference frame
is involved in arguing the relativity of simultan eity. This arbitrary decision
leads to the result that cognition is involved in the relativity of simultaneity andtherefore in the structure and functioning of the physical world described with
the use of the Lorentz coordinate transformation equations (Snyder, 1994).
The consideration of electromagnetic phenomena in terms of the special
theory is particularly important because the special theory allows for a clear
explanation of these common phenomena and, in contrast, explanations based
in Newtonian mechanics do not. The arbitrary decision regarding the direction
in which the relativity of simultaneity is argued is at the core of electromagnetic
phenomena. This last result follows from the fact that the Lorentz coordinate
transformation equations allow for the correct determination of electric and
magnetic field components for inertial reference frames in uniform translational
motion relative to one another. As Einstein wrote (1910/1993) in a quote that
will be given later, one can hold that Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism are
valid in two such inertial frames and use the Lorentz coordinate transformationOn the Dependence
- 2 -to deduce the electric and magnetic field components in one of the reference
frames once these field components are specified in the other reference frame.
Thus, the relative character of forces due to electric and magnetic fields that
intrigued Einstein are dependent on the argument on the relativity ofsimultaneity because this argument underlies the Lorentz coordinate
transformation equations. This paper will attempt to demonstrate this point in
some detail.
T
HE RELATIVE CHARACTER OF FORCES
DUE TO ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
Allow that the electrically charged test particle is at rest in one of the
inertial reference frames and that both electric and magnetic fields are present.
In the inertial reference frame where the test particle is at rest, only a force
associated with an electric field is exerted on the test particle. In the inertial
reference frame where the particle is moving in a uniform translational manner,
both the magnetic and the electric fields in general affect the test particle.
In the words with which Einstein began his first paper proposing the
special theory of relativity:
It is known that Maxwell's electrodynamics--as usually
understood at the present time--when applied to moving bodies,
leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in thephenomena. Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic
action of a magnet and a conductor [corresponding to the
electrically charged test particle]. The observable phenomenon
here depends only on the relative motion of the conductor and
the magnet, whereas the customary view draws a sharp
distinction between the two cases in which either the one or the
other of these bodies is in motion. For if the magnet is in
motion and the conductor is at rest, there arises in the
neighbourhood of the magnet an electric field with a certain
definite energy, producing a current at the places where parts of
the conductor are situated. But if the magnet is stationary and
the conductor is in motion, no electric field arises in the
neighbourhood of the magnet. In the conductor, however, we
find an electromotive force [due to the motion of the conductor
in the magnetic field associated with the magnet], to which in
itself there is no corresponding energy, but which gives rise--On the Dependence
- 3 -assuming equality of relative motion in the two cases discussed-
-to electric currents of the same path and intensity as those
produced by the electric forces in the former case. (Einstein,
1905/1952, p. 37)
Considerations of the type just noted in the quote from Einstein were
central to his development of the special theory of relativity. In a statement
prepared for a meeting of the Cleveland Physics Society in 1952 honoring the
centenary of Michelson's birth, Einstein wrote:
What led me more or less directly to the special theory of
relativity was the conviction that the electromotive force acting
on a body in motion in a magnetic field was nothing else but an
electric field. But I was also guided by the result of the Fizeau-
experiment and the phenomenon of aberration. (Shankland,
1964, p. 35)
The Lorentz Force Law
To provide a bit of context for the quote immediately above, consider
the following. The basic outline of the program in Newtonian mechanics is that
a general law relates an external force applied to an object to the motion of thisobject, specifically that the object accelerates in direct proportion to the force
applied to the object in the direction in which the force is applied. There are, in
addition, various laws that specify the different forces, Newton's law of
gravitational force being a prominent example of such a law. In Newtonian
mechanics, the general force law is F = ma, where F is the external force
applied to an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration associated
with the application of the force. For electromagnetic phenomena, the basic
specification of the force on an electrically charged particle is given by the
Lorentz Force Law:
F = (qE) + (B x v)
where F is the force experienced by the particle, q is the charge of the particle,
E is the electric field, B is the magnetic field, and v is the uniform translational
velocity, if any, of the electrically charged particle (Halliday & Resnick,
1960/1978). The term qE indicates that the particle experiences an electric
force, irrespective of the particle's motion. The term B x v indicates that if the
particle is moving and there is a magnetic field, the particle experiences a force
orthogonal to the direction of the field and its motion. (The exception is where
the motion of the particle and the direction of the field are in the same, orOn the Dependence
- 4 -opposite, directions.) Thus in an inertial reference frame where the particle is
moving in uniform translational motion through an electric field and a magnetic
field, the particle experiences a force with two components, one due to the
electric field and another associated with the magnetic field. If one considers
the force exerted on the particle from the perspective of an inertial frame movingin the same manner as the particle, the particle experiences a force which is dueonly to an electric field. Irrespective of the inertial reference frame from which
the particle is considered, as Einstein noted, "The observable phenomenon here
depends only on the relative motion of the conductor [in our case, the
electrically charged particle] and the magnet" (p. 37), not on the inertial
reference frame from which it is considered.
A M
ORE DETAILED ANALYSIS OF
THE RELATIVE CHARACTER OF
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS THEMSELVES
Now here is Einstein's quote, alluded to earlier, in which he noted the
dependence of the transformation equations for the field components in
Maxwell's laws on the Lorentz coordinate transformation equations. He noted
explicitly the consequences of this dependence.
Let us apply the [Lorentz] transformation equations...to the
Maxwell-Lorentz equations representing the magnetic field [and
electromagnetic phenomena in general]. Let E x, Ey, Ez be the
vector components of the electric field, and M x, My, Mz the
components of the magnetic field, with respect to the system S
[where the system SÕ is in uniform translational motion relative
to S along the x and xÕ axes]. Calculation shows that the
transformed [Maxwell-Lorentz] equations will be of the same
form as the original ones if one sets
Ex' = ExEy' =
§(Ey - v/c Mz)
Ez' = §(Ez + v/c My)
Mx' = MxMy' =
§(My + v/c Ez)
Mz' = §(Mz - v/c Ey)
[where § = (1 /(1 - v 2/c2)1/2 ].On the Dependence
- 5 -The vectors (E x', Ey', Ez') and (M x', My', Mz') play the same
role in the [Maxwell-Lorentz] equations referred to S' as the
vectors (E x, Ey, Ez) and (M x, My, Mz) play in the equations
referred to S. Hence the important result:
The existence of the electric field, as well as that of the magnetic
field, depends on the state of motion of the coordinate system.
The transformed [Maxwell-Lorentz] equations [for inertial
reference frames in uniform translational motion relative to one
another] permit us to know an electromagnetic field with respect
to any arbitrary system in nonaccelerated motion S ' if the field is
known relative to another system S of the same type.
These transformations would be impossible if the state of
motion of the coordinate system played no role in the definition
of the [electric and magnetic field] vectors. This we will
recognize at once if we consider the definition of the electric
field strength: the magnitude, directions, and orientation of the
field strength at a given point are determined by the
ponderomotive force exerted by the field on the unit quantity ofelectricity [the charged particle], which is assumed to be
concentrated in the point considered and at rest with respect to
the system of axes .
The [Lorentz] transformation equations [used to transform the
Maxwell-Lorentz equations for electromagnetism] demonstrate
that the difficulties we have encountered...regarding the
phenomena caused by the relative motions of a closed [electric]
circuit and a magnetic pole [associated with a magnetic field]
have been completely averted in the new theory.
For let us consider an electric charge moving uniformly with
respect to a magnetic pole. We may observe this phenomenon
either from a system of axes S linked with the magnet [where B
x v results in a force but no electric field], or from a system of
axes S' linked with the electric charge [where a changing
magnetic field generates an electric field]. With respect to S
there exists only a magnetic field (M x, My, Mz), but not any
electric field. In contrast, with respect to S' there exists--as can
be seen from the expression for E' y and E' z--an electric fieldOn the Dependence
- 6 -that acts on the electric charge at rest relative to S'. Thus, the
manner of considering the phenomena varies with the state of
motion of the reference system: all depends on the point of
view, but in this case these changes in the point of view play noessential role and do not correspond to anything that one could
objectify, which was not the case when these changes were
being attributed to changes of state of a medium filling all of
space. (Einstein, 1910/1993, pp. 140-141)
It is useful to provide the set of transformation equations for the electric
and magnetic field components for E instein's example where there is only a
magnetic field in S where an electric charge is at rest. According to the electric
and magnetic field transformation equations given by Einstein, the result for thescenario just described results in the following equations:
Ey' =
§(- v/c M z)
Ez' = §(v/c M y)
Mx' = M x
My' = §(My)
Mz' = §(Mz) .
Thus, where no electric field exists in S and no electric force is thus
exerted on the electric charge, in S' there are forces associated with both electric
and magnetic fields on the electric charge.
It should be noted that where S' is the "stationary" frame and S the
"moving" frame, for an electric charge at rest in S', a similar situation exists
except for certain changes in certain electric field components in S due to the
change in direction of the velocity of the reference frames relative to one
another.
Ey = §(v/c M z')
Ez = §(- v/c M y')
Mx = M x'
My = §(My')
Mz = §(Mz') .On the Dependence
- 7 -The similarity between this set of equations and the set of equations
when S is the "stationary" inertial reference frame is due to the ability to
consider either S or S' the "stationary" reference frame and the other frame the
"moving" reference frame in arguing the relativity of simultaneity and
employing particular set of the Lorentz coordinate transformation equationsdependent on a particular direction in which the relativity of simultaneity is
argued.
In sum, that Maxwell's equations hold in inertial reference frames
supports the special theory, in particular the Lorentz coordinate transformation
equations that allow for the derivation of the transformation equations for the
electric and magnetic field components in these reference frames. As the
derivation of the Lorentz coordinate transformation equations depends on the
relativity of simultaneity, and indeed on the argument on the relativity ofsimultaneity, electromagnetic phenomena indicate that human cognition is
involved in the structure and functioning of the physical world. One need go
no further than to note that the integrity of the special theory depends on the
ability to argue the relativity of simultaneity with either one of two inertial
reference frames in uniform translational motion relative to one another the
reference frame in which simultaneity is first defined in the argument. If this
were not the case, then the fundamental tenet of the special theory that inertial
reference frames are equivalent for the description of physical phenomena
would not hold.

RESUMO
Neste artigo fazemos uma an´ alise cr´ ıtica ` a proposta da Me cˆ anica Rela-
cional tal como apresentada no livro de mesmo nome, objeto de uma resenha
recente nesta revista.
ABSTRACT
We present a critical analysis of what is called Relational M echanics,
as it has been presented in a book thus entitled, which has bee n recently
reviewed in this journal.1 Introdu¸ c˜ ao
Ainda que n˜ ao seja parte do dia-a-dia de um pesquisador, de v ez em quando
a quest˜ ao do m´ etodo cient´ ıfico aparece para ser considerada, mesmo que seja
de maneira breve, instantˆ anea. Afinal, tantas coisas para f azer e a vida ´ e t˜ ao
curta! No entanto, seja motivado pela leitura de um trabalho ex´ otico colo-
cado na rede eletrˆ onica de preprints , seja pelo artigo confuso de uma revista
especializada, vez ou outra somos levados a nos perguntar: O que distingue
a ciˆ encia de outras atividades? Como fazem os cientistas pa ra eliminar ou
confirmar as teorias? ´E poss´ ıvel distinguir ciˆ encia dapseudociˆ encia ? Existe
ciˆ encia patol´ ogica ? Tem alguma importˆ ancia estas quest˜ oes? Por exem-
plo, este tipo de preocupa¸ c˜ ao teria alguma implica¸ c˜ ao n a nossa vida de
pesquisador? ´E (ou deve ser) a ciˆ encia conservadora? ´E freq¨ uente lembrar
dos casos de persegui¸ c˜ ao cient´ ıfica: Giordano Bruno, Gal ileu ou, de pelo
menos cegueira coletiva da comunidade cient´ ıfica: Boltzma nn por exemplo
ou, mais recentemente, Alfred Wegener [AL88]. Deveria isso imobilizar a
comunidade cient´ ıfica? afinal quem ´ e essa comunidade?1
A maioria das atividades que podemos classificar com os adjet ivos adi-
cionais ao substantivo ciˆ encia , mencionados no par´ agrafo anterior, s˜ ao re-
alizadas fora das universidades. Assim, com exce¸ c˜ ao de al guns cientistas
como C. Sagan [SA96], os pesquisadores n˜ ao se d˜ ao o trabalh o de discutir e
criticar essas atividades da mesma maneira como criticam os pr´ oprios tra-
balhos cient´ ıficos. Afinal, uma das caracter´ ısticas do dia -a-dia da ciˆ encia
´ e essa tens˜ ao entre propostas alternativas como explica¸ c˜ ao dos fenˆ omenos
naturais. Mas, e quando isso acontecer numa universidade? S ˜ ao as cr´ ıticas
necess´ arias? Violariam a liberdade acadˆ emica? A liberda de acadˆ emica deve
ser ampla e irrestrita? Se sim, ´ e isso compat´ ıvel com um bom crit´ erio de
utiliza¸ c˜ ao dos fundos p´ ublicos?
Recentemente foi publicado o livro Mecˆ anica Relacional (MR) [AK99].
Nesse livro pretende-se colocar uma nova vis˜ ao da mecˆ anic a. Seria mais
um livro de ensino dessa disciplina ou um livro de divulga¸ c˜ ao cient´ ıfica?
Nenhum desses casos, sen˜ ao vejamos. Um livro que afirme no pr ef´ acio:
Este livro tem como objetivo apresentar as propriedades e
carater´ ısticas desta nova vis˜ ao da mecˆ anica [···] fica f´ acil
fazer uma compara¸ c˜ ao com as vis˜ oes anteriores2do mundo
1Estes casos n˜ ao s˜ ao exatamente como os manuais descrevem m as n˜ ao ´ e nosso objetivo
aqui dar detalhes deles.
2Os negritos s˜ ao nossos.
2(newtoniana e einsteiniana ),3
e que, al´ em disso, ´ e editado pelo Centro de L´ ogica, Episte mologia e Hist´ oria
da Ciˆ encia da UNICAMP n˜ ao pode passar desapercebido pela c omunidade
cient´ ıfica do pa´ ıs. Ele deve ser analisado, comentado, cri ticado pelos cien-
tistas da mesma forma que o s˜ ao as teorias e resultados exper imentais da
ciˆ encia normal . N˜ ao ´ e poss´ ıvel que algu´ em chegue dizendo que as vis˜ oes
de Newton e Einstein est˜ ao erradas e ningu´ em da comunidade dos f´ ısicos
diga nada. Confirme-se e aceite-se seu impacto na f´ ısica e ci ˆ encias afins
ou coloque-se esta obra em merecido ostracismo. Esperamos d eixar claro
neste artigo que, corretamente analisado, o assunto levant ado pelo livro em
quest˜ ao sequer polˆ emico ´ e. Por´ em, depois das caracter´ ısticas acima men-
cionadas, o livro tem de ser analisado criticamente. Tamb´ e m, acrescente-se,
de maneira definitiva.
´E necess´ ario saber se de fato representa uma vis˜ ao nova da f ´ ısica porque,
se for verdade, j´ a imaginaram, leitores? Ter´ ıamos que rev er tudo que foi feito
nas ´ ultimas d´ ecadas, v´ arios prˆ emios Nobel deviam ser de volvidos, o Brasil
estaria na vanguarda da ciˆ encia. Mas, e se n˜ ao fosse? Seria um exemplo
deciˆ encia patol´ ogica ? Enfim ... definitivamente n˜ ao pode passar sem ser
percebido, ainda que n˜ ao seja polˆ emico.
J´ a foi feita uma resenha sobre o referido livro, publicada n esta revis-
ta [SO99], da´ ı a “resenha” do t´ ıtulo. Nessa resenha n˜ ao se poupam elogios
` a nova vis˜ ao da f´ ısica pretendida no livro MR. No entanto, ´ e interessante
notar que na vers˜ ao publicada dessa resenha foi acrescenta da uma nota de
rodap´ e onde se agradece a um ´ arbitro anˆ onimo, o qual pedia para o autor da
resenha ler o livro de A. Pais [PA95]. Nesse livro encontra-s e uma hist´ oria
mais detalhada sobre a influˆ encia do princ´ ıpio de Mach no pe nsamento de
Einstein. No entanto, a leitura do livro de Pais deveria ter i nduzido o autor
da resenha a revˆ e-la toda e mesmo mudar sua opini˜ ao sobre o l ivro. Mas
no pr´ oprio livro MR, apenas s˜ ao citadas as palavras de Eins tein sobre a
influˆ encia que Mach teve sobre ele num certo per´ ıodo de sua v ida. Omite-se
outras, e que n´ os incluimos aqui, nas quais Einstein revˆ e a sua posi¸ c˜ ao com
rela¸ c˜ ao ao princ´ ıpio de Mach .4
Assim, ´ e nosso objetivo fazer uma cr´ ıtica ` a proposta da MR baseada
nas teorias cient´ ıficas desenvolvidas nos ´ ultimos 100 ano s, mais ou menos.
Tentamos deixar claro para o leitor que: 1) n˜ ao ´ e verdade qu e as teorias da
relatividade especial e geral (TRE e TRG, respectivamente) estejam erradas,
3Observe-se o tempo passado com rela¸ c˜ ao a f´ ısica newtonia na e einsteiniana.
4Dever´ ıamos dizer, em geral, da filosofia de Mach.
3elas s˜ ao de fato muito bem verificadas experimentalmente; a l´ em do que,
conceitualmente elas tˆ em permitido avan¸ cos t´ ecnicos e t e´ oricos em diversas
´ areas como a astronomia, a astrof´ ısica e, principalmente , na ´ area da f´ ısica
das intera¸ c˜ oes fundamentais. 2) ´E sim, a MR que n˜ ao descreve os fenˆ omenos
naturais observados.
Nosso objetivo n˜ ao ´ e convencer o autor do livro que a sua pro posta n˜ ao
concorda com os dados experimentais, mas procurar convence r o leitor, que
por pouca familiaridade com as teorias da f´ ısica do Sec. XX p ode pensar
estar diante de uma proposta que na sua opini˜ ao ´ e, na pior da s hipˆ oteses,
pelo menos “cient´ ıfica”, perceber por si s´ o que o que n´ os co locamos aqui ´ e
correto: n˜ ao s´ o as cr´ ıticas ` as TRE e TRG est˜ ao erradas, m as a pr´ opria MR
est´ a h´ a muito tempo descartada pela experiˆ encia.
Claro, n˜ ao esperamos que apenas a leitura desta resenha sej a suficiente
para tal efeito. Ser´ a necess´ ario que o leitor que ainda tiv er d´ uvidas pro-
cure consultar algumas das referˆ encias aqui citadas que po der˜ ao ser-lhe de
utilidade, ainda que n˜ ao pretendamos ser exaustivos nesse aspecto.
Na Sec. 2 revisamos o princ´ ıpio de Mach visando esclarecer q ual foi a
sua influˆ encia sobre Einstein. Ficar´ a claro que a partir de certo momento
Einstein afastou-se dele. Verifica-se tamb´ em que esse prin c´ ıpio n˜ ao seria
necess´ ario para a elabora¸ c˜ ao daquelas teorias (TRE e TRG ). Na Sec. 3
enfatizamos que as teorias da relatividade, especial e gera l, s˜ ao teorias bem
estabelecidas experimentalmente e que n˜ ao procedem as cr´ ıticas a ambas
feitas no livro MR [AK99]. Pelo contr´ ario, mostramos na Sec . 4 que a MR
´ e a teoria que est´ a errada. Alguns coment´ arios finais est˜ ao na Sec. 5.
2 O princ´ ıpio de Mach
Ernst Mach (1838-1916) foi um cientista polivalente, mas a s ua maior in-
fluˆ encia foi na mecˆ anica de fluidos e na filosofia. Foi um cr´ ıt ico do conceito
de espa¸ co absoluto da mecˆ anica newtoniana. No pref´ acio d a primeira edi¸ c˜ ao
(alem˜ a) do seu livro disse [MA83]
The present volume is not a treatise upon the application of
the principles of mechanics. Its aim is to clear up ideas, exp ose
the real significance of the matter, and get rid of metaphysic al
obscurities.
Essas palavras devem ser entendidas no contexto do empirism o radical
que muitos cientistas defendiam nas ´ ultimas d´ ecadas do Se c. XIX. A ter-
modinˆ amica era ent˜ ao rainha absoluta como paradigma de ci ˆ encia. Estava
4baseada apenas em quantidades que podiam ser medidas no labo rat´ orio,
outro tipo de abordagem era considerado metaf´ ısico . Isso influenciaria muito
o pensamento de Einstein, mas depois ele aceitou que “´ e a teo ria que diz o
que ´ e observ´ avel e o que n˜ ao ´ e” [HE78].
A. Pais, referindo-se ` a critica que Mach fizera em seu livro d e 1883 [MA83]
` a mecˆ anica de Newton, disse [PA95a]
As mencionadas referˆ encias mostram que Mach reconhecia
claramente os aspectos cl´ assicos da mecˆ anica cl´ assica e que n˜ ao
esteve longe de exigir uma teoria da relatividade geral, ist o h´ a
cerca de meio s´ eculo antes!
Por´ em Mach disse em 19135
Devo [ ···] com igual intensidade recusar ser precursor dos
relativistas, como me retirei da cren¸ ca atomista da atuali dade.
A vis˜ ao de Mach da mecˆ anica est´ a bem resumida na afirma¸ c˜ a o de que
quando [ ···] afirmamos que um corpo conserva sem altera¸ c˜ ao
sua dire¸ c˜ ao e velocidade no espa¸ co , nossa afirma¸ c˜ ao n˜ ao ´ e nem
mais nem menos do que uma referˆ encia abreviada ao universo
inteiro (os it´ alicos s˜ ao de Mach) [ ···]
Comentando as palavras de Mach acima Pais disse [PA95b]:
N˜ ao encontramos no livro de Mach como se manifesta esta
importˆ ancia de todos os corpos, pois ele nunca propˆ os um es -
quema dinˆ amico expl´ ıcito para esta nova interpreta¸ c˜ ao da lei de
in´ ercia.
Isso ainda ´ e verdade: o princ´ ıpio de Mach n˜ ao foi implemen tado de
maneira consistente por nenhuma teoria. O conhecido astron ˆ omo H. Bondi
´ e bem claro a respeito [BO68]
... the postulate of relativity of inertia (Mach’s principl e) is
intelectually agreable in many ways, and seems to some autho rs
to be inescapably true. Others regard it with suspicion, sin ce
it has not been possible so far to express it in mathematical
5Esta frase est´ a traduzida de maneira diferente por diferen tes autores. Aqui queremos
somente lembrar a intransigˆ encia de Mach, sendo que ele mes mo acreditava ser “n˜ ao
dogm´ atico”.
5form (not even in the general relativity), and since it has no t
so far been verified experimentally [ ···] Even if Mach’s princi-
ple is correct, other theories are therefore required to dea l with
experimental and observational invariance.
Como dissemos antes, a constru¸ c˜ ao da TRE foi muito influenc iada pela
filosofia pragm´ atica de Mach: foram usadas apenas quantidad es pass´ ıveis de
serem medidas. Einstein posteriormente tamb´ em se afastou dessa filosofia,
mas n˜ ao consideraremos isso aqui. Por outro lado, o mesmo ac onteceu com
a TRG. Em 1912, usando uma vers˜ ao rudimentar da teoria da gra vita¸ c˜ ao,
Einstein mostrou que se uma esfera oca massiva ´ e acelerada e m torno de um
eixo que passa pelo centro no qual se encontra uma massa inerc ial pontual,
ent˜ ao a massa inercial desta ´ ultima ´ e aumentada. Nas pr´ o prias palavras de
Einstein [PA95c]
Esta [conclus˜ ao] fornece plausabilidade ` a conjectura de que
a in´ ercia totalde um ponto com massa ´ e um efeito que decorre
da presen¸ ca de todas as outras massas, gra¸ cas a um tipo de
intera¸ c˜ ao com estas ´ ultimas [ ···].´E este justamente o ponto
de vista sustentado por Mach nas suas investiga¸ c˜ oes profu ndas
sobre este tema.
Vemos que Einstein tinha de fato o princ´ ıpio de Mach como gui a para a
constru¸ c˜ ao das teorias da relatividade.6
Em 1917 Einstein, no que seria o primeiro trabalho da hist´ or ia sobre
cosmologia relativista [EI17], ainda pensava de acordo com a cita¸ c˜ ao acima
a respeito das id´ eias de Mach [PA95c]. Ele ainda tentava imp lementar uma
origem inteiramente material da in´ ercia, isto ´ e, que a m´ e tricagµνdo espa¸ co-
tempo seria determinada apenas pela mat´ eria [PA95c]. De fa to, nesse tra-
balho Einstein introduz o “termo cosmol´ ogico” para estar e m acordo com
o princ´ ıpio de Mach, isto ´ e, para ter um universo fechado, e tamb´ em para
conseguir um universo homogˆ eneo, isotr´ opico e est´ atico e tal que gµν= 0 na
ausˆ encia de mat´ eria.
Provavelmente a demostra¸ c˜ ao de de Sitter em 1917 sobre a ex istˆ encia
de solu¸ c˜ oes das equa¸ c˜ oes da TRG no v´ acuo: gµν∝negationslash= 0 e T= 0, isto ´ e,
solu¸ c˜ oes para as equa¸ c˜ oes da TRG sem mat´ eria (que Einst ein acreditava
n˜ ao existirem) ´ e que come¸ cou a minar sua credibilidade ne sse princ´ ıpio.
A outra motiva¸ c˜ ao, de um universo homogˆ eneo, isotr´ opic oeest´ atico, foi
6De fato foi Einstein quem chamou a conjetura da origem da in´ e rcia de Mach como o
“Princ´ ıpio de Mach”.
6eliminada quando em 1922 A. Friedmann demonstra que era poss ´ ıvel um
universo homgˆ eneo e istr´ opico se ele estivesse se expandi ndo (e n˜ ao est´ atico
como assumia Einstein). Mas o acontecimento crucial foi ent ˜ ao a descoberta
de de Sitter que as equa¸ c˜ oes de Einstein com o termo cosmol´ ogico tinham
solu¸ c˜ ao mesmo no vazio: a in´ ercia ´ e diferente de zero mes mo sem a presen¸ ca
da mat´ eria. Inicialmente Einstein, que antes tinha dito qu e “um corpo num
universo vazio n˜ ao poderia ter in´ ercia”, objetou a solu¸ c ˜ ao de de Sitter mas
logo ele se convenceu que aquele tinha raz˜ ao. N˜ ao era mais p oss´ ıvel que
gµνpudesse ser determinado completamente pela mat´ eria. Vemo s ent˜ ao que
n˜ ao se pode fazer uma cita¸ c˜ ao de Einstein de 1917 sem levar em conta que
alguns anos depois ele se convenceria de seu pr´ oprio erro!
Segundo Pais [PA95f]
Anos mais tarde, o entusiasmo de Einstein pelo princ´ ıpio de
Mach esmoreceu e, finalmente desapareceu.
Por exemplo, em 1954 em uma carta a Felix Pirani ele disse [HO8 2,
PA95d]
Na minha opini˜ ao nunca mais dever´ ıamos falar do princ´ ıpi o
de Mach. Houve uma ´ epoca na qual pensava-se que os ‘corpos
ponder´ aveis’ eram a ´ unica realidade f´ ısica e que, numa te oria
todos os elementos que n˜ ao estiverem totalmente determina dos
por eles, deveriam ser escrupulosamente evitados. Sou cons ciente
que durante um longo tempo tamb´ em fui influenciado por essa
id´ eia fixa.
Pouco tempo depois ele disse [SC49]
...So, if one regards as possible, gravitational fields of ar bi-
trary extension which are not initially restricted by spati al lim-
itations, the concept ‘acceleration relative to space’, th en loses
every meaning and with it the principle of inertia together w ith
the entire problem of Mach.
Em geral os cosm´ ologos aceitam o ponto de vista posterior de Einstein,
por exemplo, segundo Bondi [BO68]
for this reason he introduced the so-called cosmological co n-
stant in the hope of reconciling general relativity with Mac h’s
principle [ ···] This hope was, however, not fulfilled.
7A origem da in´ ercia (das massas) continua a ser um ponto em ab erto
em qualquer teoria fundamental das part´ ıculas elementare s. Assim segundo
Pais [PA95d]:
Do meu ponto de vista, at´ e agora o princ´ ıpio de Mach n˜ ao fez
avan¸ car decisivamente a f´ ısica, e a origem da in´ ercia ´ e, e continua
a ser, o assunto maisobscuro na teoria de part´ ıculas e campos.
O princ´ ıpio de Mach pode, conseq¨ uentemente ter futuro, ma s
n˜ ao sem a teoria quˆ antica.
Podemos concluir que o princ´ ıpio de Mach n˜ ao foi at´ e agora confir-
mado nem te´ orica nem experimentalmente. Que todas as teori as atuais
n˜ ao tenham sido capazes de implement´ a-lo pesa mais contra ele que con-
tra as pr´ oprias teorias. O estudo da influˆ encia de Mach sobr e Einstein
pertence mais ao que Holton chama de “el peregrinaje filos´ ofi co de Albert
Einstein” [HO82b]
un peregrinaje desde una filosof´ ıa de la ciencia en la que el
sensacionalismo y el empirismo ocupaban una posici´ on cent ral,
hasta otra que est´ a fundada en un realismo racional.
Definitivamente ent˜ ao, a partir de um certo momento, Einste in e outros
f´ ısicos bem conhecidos n˜ ao levaram mais em conta o princ´ ı pio de Mach como
guia na constru¸ c˜ ao das suas teorias.
3 As Teorias da Relatividade est˜ ao erradas?
N˜ ao. Muito pelo contr´ ario. Vide, por exemplo, o amplo arti go de Will [WI79],
onde se resume os testes experimentais de ambas teorias da re latividade, a
especial e a geral. No caso da relatividade especial, que ´ e s em d´ uvida a
melhor testada, Will diz [WI79b]:
A lot of experiments in the high-energy laboratory have ver-
ified and reverified the validity of special relativity in the limit
when gravitational effects can be ignored. Those experiment s
range from direct test of time-dilation to tests of esoteric predic-
tions of Lorentz-invariant quantum field theory.
No entanto o autor de MR insiste [AK99b]:
8Defendemos aqui que as teorias de Einstein n˜ ao implemen-
taram as id´ eias de Mach e que a Mecˆ ancia Relacional ´ e uma
teoria melhor do que as de Einstein para descrever os fenˆ ome nos
observados na natureza [ ···] Einstein e seus seguidores criaram
muitos problemas com esta teoria.
A TRE tornou a hip´ otese do ´ eter sup´ erflua, n˜ ao mostrou que este n˜ ao
existia. Isso ´ e t´ ıpico do conhecimento cient´ ıfico. O auto r do texto MR n˜ ao
entendeu como funciona a ciˆ encia. A ciˆ encia n˜ ao mostra qu e os deuses da
chuva e anjos carregando os planetas n˜ ao existem. Ela apena s n˜ ao usa essas
hip´ oteses. Claro, se acreditamos que existe uma realidade independente
de n´ os mesmos e que ´ e, pelo menos parcialmente, desvendada pela ciˆ encia,
ent˜ ao o fato de o ´ eter n˜ ao ser necess´ ario para as teorias f ´ ısicas pode ser
interpretado como indicativo de sua inexistˆ encia.
As cr´ ıticas do autor ` a TRE n˜ ao s˜ ao corretas e mostram a pou ca familia-
ridade dele com o tema. Por exemplo [AK99d]
...h´ a muitos problemas com as teorias da relatividade espe cial
e geral. Enfatizamos alguns aqui.
1) elas s˜ ao baseadas na formula¸ c˜ ao de Lorentz da eletrodi nˆ amica
de Maxwell, formula¸ c˜ ao que apresenta diversas assimetri as como
as apontadas por Einstein e muitos outros [ ···] H´ a uma teoria
do eletromagnetismo que evita todos estas assimetrias de fo rma
natural [ ···] a eletrodinˆ amica de Weber...
´E sabido, faz mais de 100 anos, que a eletrodinˆ amica de Weber n˜ ao ´ e uma
descri¸ c˜ ao dos fenˆ omenos eletromagn´ eticos: na sua vers ˜ ao original n˜ ao prevˆ e
a existˆ encia de ondas eletromagn´ eticas! Da maneira como ´ e comparada com
“a formula¸ c˜ ao de Lorentz da eletrodinˆ amica de Maxwell” p arece que a de
Weber ´ e uma outra formula¸ c˜ ao da mesma. A formula¸ c˜ ao de L orentz a que
se refere o autor ´ e a das equa¸ c˜ oes de Maxwell microsc´ opic as. Nela todos
os fenˆ omenos eletromagn´ eticos podem ser vistos como send o produzidos por
portadores de cargas elementares como os el´ etrons e os n´ uc leos atˆ omicos. As
equa¸ c˜ oes de Maxwell macrosc´ opicas podem, em casos simpl es, ser deduzidas
a partir das equa¸ c˜ oes de Maxwell-Lorentz. Na verdade ´ e a f ormula¸ c˜ ao de
Lorentz que ´ e generaliz´ avel para a mecˆ anica quˆ antica re lativista.
A assimetria a que se refere o autor ´ e aquela mencionada no pr imeiro
artigo de Einstein de 1905 sobre a TRE [EI05, EI05b]:
Como ´ e sabido, a Eletrodinˆ amica de Maxwell–tal como atual -
mente se concebe– conduz, na sua aplica¸ c˜ ao a corpos em movi -
9mento, a assimetrias que n˜ ao parecem ser inerentes aos fe-
nˆ omenos .7Consideremos, por exemplo, as a¸ c˜ oes eletrodinˆ amicas
entre um ´ ım˜ a e um condutor. O fenˆ omeno observ´ avel de-
pende unicamente do movimento relativo do condutor
e do ´ ım˜ a , ao passo que, segundo a concep¸ c˜ ao habitual, s˜ ao ni-
tidamente distintos os casos em que o m´ ovel ´ e um, ou outro,
desses corpos. Assim, se for m´ ovel o ´ ım˜ a e o condutor estiv er em
repouso, estabelecer-se-´ a em volta do ´ ım˜ a campo el´ etri co com
determinado conte´ udo energ´ etico, que dar´ a origem a uma c or-
rente el´ etrica nas regi˜ oes onde estiverem colocadas por¸ c˜ oes do
condutor. Mas, se ´ e o ´ ım˜ a que est´ a em repouso e o condutor q ue
est´ a em movimento, ent˜ ao, embora n˜ ao se estabele¸ ca em vo lta
do ´ ım˜ a nenhum campo el´ etrico, h´ a no entanto uma for¸ ca el etro-
motriz que n˜ ao corresponde a nenhuma energia, mas que d´ a lu -
gar a correntes el´ etricas de grandeza e comportamento igua is ` as
do primeiro caso, produzidas por for¸ cas el´ etricas–desde que, nos
dois casos considerados, haja identidade no movimento rela tivo.
Mais adiante, depois de apresentar a sua teoria, Einstein di z [EI05c]
Como se vˆ e, na teoria que se desenvolveu, a for¸ ca eletromot riz
apenas desempenha o papel de conceito auxiliar, que deve a su a
introdu¸ c˜ ao ao fato de as for¸ cas el´ etricas e magn´ eticas n˜ ao terem
existˆ encia independente do estado de movimento do sistema de
coordenadas.
´E tamb´ em claro que a assimetria mencionada na introdu¸ c˜ ao ,
que surge quando se consideram as correntes el´ etricas prov o-
cadas pelo movimento relativo de um ´ ıman e de um condutor,
desaparece agora.
Vemos ent˜ ao que o autor da MR n˜ ao entendeu o argumento de Ein -
stein no seu artigo de 1905. Hoje dir´ ıamos que as equa¸ c˜ oes de Maxwell,
usando a nota¸ c˜ ao de 3-vetores, introduzida por Heaviside , n˜ ao s˜ ao manifes-
tamente invariantes sob as transforma¸ c˜ oes de Lorentz. Ma s essa assimetria
n˜ ao ocorre, como observado pelo pr´ oprio Einstein, nos fen ˆ omenos obser-
vados, como sabemos desde Faraday. A assimetria desaparece porque no
sistema de referˆ encia que acompanha o condutor, do ponto de vista da
TRE, temos tamb´ em um campo el´ etrico: /vectorE′∝v×/vectorB′. A inter-rela¸ c˜ ao
entre campos el´ etricos e magn´ eticos na eletrodinˆ amica d e Maxwell s´ o foi
7Os negritos s˜ ao nossos.
10descoberta por Einstein. Ainda que a teoria microsc´ opica ( que ´ e de Lorentz
mas continua sendo a eletrodinˆ amica de Maxwell) seja relat ivisticamente
invariante, o fenˆ omeno mencionado foi percebido por Einst ein mesmo. As-
sim, ´ e apenas quando se descobre a invariˆ ancia das equa¸ c˜ oes de Maxwell
sob transforma¸ c˜ oes de Lorentz que a assimetria desaparec e. Isso est´ a bem
explicado em livros b´ asicos como o de Purcell [PU78] apenas para dar um
exemplo.
Outro ponto que deve ser enfatizado ´ e que o autor da MR n˜ ao co m-
preendeu a covariˆ ancia geral, confundindo-a com a covariˆ ancia introduzida
por Minkowski que se refere apenas ` as transforma¸ c˜ oes de L orentz [AK99j].
Na TGR sim, temos uma covariˆ ancia geral, no sentido que as eq ua¸ c˜ oes s˜ ao
as mesmas em qualquer sistema de referˆ encia, inercial ou n˜ ao.
Como j´ a foi dito acima, a TRE n˜ ao ´ e verificada somente pelas ex-
periˆ encias diretas. Todo o edif´ ıcio conceitual da f´ ısic a de part´ ıculas ele-
mentares e as suas t´ ecnicas te´ oricas e experimentais est˜ ao baseados nela.
Mesmo que algu´ em mostrasse que as experiˆ encias cl´ assica s n˜ ao s˜ ao sufi-
cientes para testar com a precis˜ ao necess´ aria a teoria, es ta n˜ ao seria facil-
mente abandonada porque j´ a foi confirmada na pr´ atica em out ras ´ areas.
O mesmo ocorre com a TRG: nos anos de 1939-40 Einstein, com Leo pold
Infeld e Banesh Hoffmann, tratou o problema do movimento de N c orpos
com a relatividade geral. Segundo Misner et al. [MI73]
Equations [ ···] are called the Einstein-Infeld-Hoffman (EIH)
equations for the geometry and evolution of a many-body syst em.
They are used widely in analyses of planetary orbits in the so lar
system. For example, the Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory
uses them, in modified form, to calculate ephemerides for hig h-
precision tracking of planets and spacecraft.
Vemos ent˜ ao que j´ a existem aplica¸ c˜ oes da TRG (ver mais so bre isso maisa-
diante).
Al´ em disso novos testes mais acadˆ emicos s˜ ao obtidos. Por exemplo, em
1993 R. A. Hulse e J. H. Taylor ganharam o prˆ emio Nobel de F´ ıs ica: ”for
the discovery of a new type of pulsar, a discovery that has ope ned up new
possibilities for the study of gravitation” [NO93].
Mas o que isso significa? Bem, Hulse e Taylor observaram duran te quase
20 anos, de 1975 a 1993, um pulsar bin´ ario com o ex´ otico nome de PSR
1913+168–e que consiste de um par de estrelas de nˆ eutrons, com um raio
8PSR significa “pulsar” e 1913+16 especifica a posi¸ c˜ ao do pul sar no c´ eu.
11de algumas dezenas de quilˆ ometros e com massa da ordem da mas sa do Sol e
com uma distˆ ancia relativa da ordem da algumas vezes a distˆ ancia Terra-Lua
girando ao redor de seu centro de massa. Eles determinaram qu e a perda
de energia do sistema era consistente com os c´ alculos basea dos na teoria da
relatividade geral [PE98]. Este foi um teste de TRG mais defin itivo que os
trˆ es testes cl´ assicos: o perih´ elio de Merc´ urio, o desvi o da luz pelo Sol e o
atraso de rel´ ogios em campos gravitacionais. Estes testes estavam restritos
ao nosso sistema solar onde o campo gravitacional ´ e fraco. O s resultados
de Hulse e Taylor foram os primeiros testes de grande precis˜ ao da TGR.
Segundo a TRG, objetos em ´ orbita, como no caso do pulsar acim a men-
cionado, irradiam energia sob a forma de ondas gravitaciona is (ondula¸ c˜ oes

ser calculada usando a TRG. Os resultados de Hulse e Taylor co ncordaram

premiados que de maneira indireta usam a eletrodinˆ amica de Maxwell, que
sendo relativista poderia ser considerado como teste indir eto da TRE. Se as
teorias da relatividade estivessem erradas todos esses prˆ emios Nobel teriam
que ser devolvidos. O leitor interessado pode visitar a p´ ag ina WWW da
Funda¸ c˜ ao Nobel [NO00].
Com rela¸ c˜ ao ` a dilata¸ c˜ ao do tempo nas TRE e TRG, o astrˆ on omo real
Martin Rees diz que mesmo n˜ ao sendo percept´ ıvel nos movime ntos e tempos
do dia-a-dia [RE00]
Esse pequeno efeito [dilata¸ c˜ ao do tempo da TRE] foi agora,
contudo, medido por experimentos com rel´ ogios atˆ omicos c om
precis˜ ao de um bilion´ esimo de segundo, e est´ a de acordo co m as
previs˜ oes de Einstein... uma “dilata¸ c˜ ao do tempo” semel hante ´ e
causada pela gravidade: nas proximidades de uma grande mass a,
os rel´ ogios tendem a andar mais devagar.... essa dilata¸ c˜ ao deve
ser levada em conta, juntamente com os efeitos do movimento
orbital, na programa¸ c˜ ao do notavelmente preciso sistema GPS
(Global Positioning Satellite)...
De fato, atualmente o sistema GPS tem uma precis˜ ao de milime tros, uma
discordˆ ancia de uma milhon´ esima de segundo implica num er ro da ordem
de 300 metros! [HE96].
Al´ em disso as cada vez mais precisas medidas do fator ( g−2)µs˜ ao
compat´ ıveis com dilata¸ c˜ oes da vida m´ edia do m´ uon de at´ eγ= 29.3 [BR01]
Isso mostra que o efeito nos m´ uons n˜ ao apenas os observados na atmosfera
e o argumento do autor da MR n˜ ao se sustenta (ver a proxima se¸ c˜ ao).
Poder´ ıamos mencionar outras situa¸ c˜ oes onde fica claro o p ouco conheci-
mento que o autor de MR tem das teorias da relatividade. Basta m mais um
exemplos: o autor da MR n˜ ao sabe que n˜ ao existe “paradoxo do s gˆ emeos”,
n˜ ao entendeu o atraso do rel´ ogio [AK99l]. N˜ ao comentamos mais sobre este
ponto porque ´ e bastante bem considerado em livros elementa res de relativi-
dade [GE78].
134 Est´ a a Mecˆ anica Relacional errada?
Sim. Ap´ os criticar a TRG de Einstein por n˜ ao ter implementa do a rota de
construir a teoria apenas em termos de distˆ ancias relativa s, diz [AK99c]
... como veremos neste livro, ´ e poss´ ıvel seguir esta rota c om
sucesso utilizando uma lei de Weber para a gravita¸ c˜ ao.
Por que usar uma lei da gravita¸ c˜ ao baseada numa lei da eletr ost´ atica que n˜ ao
deu certo? Mesmo que algu´ em acredite na MR, dever-se-ia per guntar: por
que essa for¸ ca e n˜ ao outra? Assim, existiriam tantas MR qua nto poss´ ıveis
autores. O papel desempenhado pelas simetrias nas leis da F´ ısica n˜ ao foi
comprendido pelo autor da MR: ele ignora os trabalhos de cien tistas como
E. Wigner, H. Weyl, C. N. Yang etc! As simetrias tˆ em desempen hado um
papel importante na descoberta de novas leis da natureza, ma s na MR lemos
que tudo isso n˜ ao ´ e necess´ ario na nova f´ ısica ali proposta! No momento
que se abre m˜ ao dos princ´ ıpios de simetria tudo ´ e v´ alido!
A MR est´ a baseada em trˆ es postulados. Os dois primeiros s˜ a o com-
pat´ ıveis com as leis de Newton. J´ a o terceiro postulado, di z [AK99e]
A soma de todas as for¸ cas de qualquer natureza (gravita-
cional, el´ etrica, magn´ etica, el´ astica, nuclear,...) a gindo sobre
qualquer corpo ´ e sempre nula em todos os sistemas de referˆ e ncia.
Bom, sabemos que cada uma das for¸ cas mencionadas no postula do III tem
uma intensidade carater´ ıstica bem diferente. Por exemplo , a for¸ ca gravita-
cional ´ e 10−40vezes mais fraca que a for¸ ca eletromagn´ etica. Assim, se a s ua
soma se anula, ent˜ ao devem existir outras for¸ cas tais que f a¸ cam a soma ser
zero. Onde est˜ ao essas for¸ cas?
Compare com o postulado de Einstein “a luz, no espa¸ co vazio, se propaga
sempre com uma velocidade determinada, independente do est ado de movi-
mento da fonte luminosa”.
Na melhor das hip´ oteses, em 1905 estes dois postulados pode riam ter
sido considerados como alternativas poss´ ıveis. Hoje, dep ois de tantos testes
experimentais e te´ oricos, n˜ ao mais.
Mas, na MR se insiste na eletrodinˆ amica de Weber, por exempl o [AK99f]
As propriedades e vantagens da teoria eletromagn´ etica de
Weber foram consideradas em outro livro.
14Essa teoria n˜ ao tem nenhuma vantagem, ela j´ a foi descartad a como pro-
posta cient´ ıfica. Enfatizamos, um s´ eculo de experimentos e aplica¸ c˜ oes tec-
nol´ ogicas e, n˜ ao menos importante, os esquemas conceitua is constru´ ıdos a
partir da eletrodinˆ amica de Maxwell n˜ ao deixam espa¸ co pa ra ela. Lembre-se
disso, caro leitor, quando assistir televis˜ ao ou ouvir a su a m´ usica favorita no
seuCD player .
Da eletrodinˆ amica se passa ` a gravita¸ c˜ ao, o autor contin ua
... em analogia a eletrodinˆ amica de Weber, propomos como a
base para a mecˆ anica relacional que a lei de Newton da gravit a¸ c˜ ao
universal seja modificada para ficar nos moldes da lei de Weber .
O leitor deve se convencer por ele mesmo que teorias de campo n ˜ ao re-
lativ´ ısticas n˜ ao est˜ ao de acordo com a experiˆ encia. O de slocamento Lamb e
o momento magn´ etico do el´ etron e do m´ uon s˜ ao exemplos, en tre outros, da
validade dessas teorias.9
Mais ainda, os testes mais fortes, repetimos, de uma teoria s ˜ ao os indi-
retos. Por exemplo, toda a f´ ısica de aceleradores n˜ ao seri a poss´ ıvel sem a
TRE. Como foi mencionado na se¸ c˜ ao anterior, mesmo o sistem a GPS est´ a
usando ambas TRE e TRG. Como explicar esse sucesso no context o da MR?
O fato que os testes indiretos passam a ser mais importantes q ue os dire-
tos (que s˜ ao importantes quando se est´ a propondo uma teori a) faz com que
caso algu´ em hoje repetisse as experiˆ encias de Michelson- Morley ou Fizeau
e afirmasse ter achado resultados opostos aos das experiˆ enc ias originais, o
experimento ser´ a encarado como errado! [De fato isso acont eceu com a
experiˆ encia de Michelson-Morley: em 1926 um f´ ısico chego u a conclus˜ oes
opostas. Nunca se confirmou onde estava o erro mas j´ a n˜ ao era mais
necess´ ario ach´ a-lo!]. ´E isso que quer dizer o conhecido f´ ısico, premio No-
bel de 1977, P. W. Anderson quando afirma que [AN90]
It is the nature of physics that its generalizations are cont in-
ually tested for correctness and consistency not only by car eful
experiments aimed directly at them but usually much more
severely10, by the total consistency of the entire structure
of physics [ ···] My moral finally, is that physics–in fact all of
science– is a pretty seamless web.
9Estes s˜ ao os c´ alculos esot´ ericos de teoria quˆ antica de c ampos mencionada por Will
acima.
10Os negritos s˜ ao nossos.
15A MR ´ e uma teoria de tempo absoluto e n˜ ao passa por testes que evi-
denciam a “dilata¸ c˜ ao do tempo”. E mais, os argumentos (fra cos) contra a
TRE e TGR parecem ser motivados pelo fato do autor perceber qu e quem
as aceita n˜ ao pode aceitar a MR.
A dilata¸ c˜ ao do tempo em campos gravit´ atorios ´ e particul armente im-
portante para demonstrar que os resultados da MR s˜ ao incons istentes com
as observa¸ c˜ oes. Seja por exemplo o caso de um corpo preso a u ma mola
oscilando horizontalmente. Este caso ´ e considerado no MR [ AK99m] e o
resultado ´ e que a freq¨ encia de oscila¸ c˜ ao ´ e dada por
ω=/radicalBigg
k
mg(1)
ondek´ e a constante el´ astica da mola. Se observa no MR que a difere n¸ ca
com o resultado na mecˆ anica newtoniana ´ e que na MR aparece mge n˜ ao mi.
O problema ´ e quando se usa o resultado da Eq. (1) para afirmar [ AK99m]:
Dobrando a quantidade de gal´ axias do universo, mantendo
inalteradas a mola, a Terra e o corpo de prova, diminuiria a
freqˆ’encia de oscila¸ c˜ ao em√
2. Isto ´ e equivalente a dobrar a
massa inercial newtoniana do corpo de prova.
Isto ´ e, se extrapola um resultado que na pr´ atica coincide c om o da
mecˆ anica de Newton (´ e por isso n˜ ao ´ e importante) para o Un iverso todo!
Qualquer sistema peri´ odico ´ e um relo´ ogio. Acontece que s e usamos isso para
calcular a diferen¸ ca de tempos de 2 sistemas de molas, um na b ase e outro
no alto de uma torre, a diferen¸ ca de tempos segundo a MR ´ e: ze ro! Segundo
a MR teriamos

ondeN´ e o n´ umero de oscila¸ c˜ oes e ω1,2s˜ ao a freq¨ uencias na base e no alto
da torre. A identidade decorre da igualdade entre ω1eω2uma vez que
pela Eq. (1) as freq¨ uˆ encias so dependem da massa gravitaci onal do corpo a
qual ´ e inalter´ avel.11No entanto como mencionado acima essa diferen¸ ca dos
rel´ ogios em campos gravitat´ orios j´ a foi bem testada e est ´ a em acordo com
as teorias da relatividade. De fato, experimentos que medem o desvio para

foi colocada pela primeira vez no debate realizado no IFGW-U NICAMP entre o autor da
MR e Matsas.
16o vermelho gravitacional usando rel´ ogios em torres e o sist ema GPS, como
comentado acima, confirmam a TRG [MI73b].
´E interessante a afirma¸ c˜ ao com rela¸ c˜ ao ` a dilata¸ c˜ ao do tempo necess´ aria
para explicar a chegada de p´ ıons e m´ uons produzidos na atmo sfera at´ e a
Terra [AK99g]:
o mesmo pode ser aplicado na experiˆ encia dos m´ esons. Ao
inv´ es de afirmar que o tempo anda mais lentamente para o corpo
em movimento, nos parece mais simples e de acordo com a ex-
periˆ encia afirmar que a meia-vida do m´ eson depende ou dos ca m-
pos eletromagn´ eticos a que foi exposto nesta situa¸ c˜ ao ou ao seu
movimento (velocidade ou acelera¸ c˜ ao) em rela¸ c˜ ao ao lab orat´ orio
e aos corpos distantes.
Acontece que a dilata¸ c˜ ao do tempo foi medida em circunstˆ a ncias diversas:
em aceleradores, em experimentos em avi˜ oes e sat´ elites, e m experiˆ encias
que medem o fator g−2 do m´ uon, etc. Quais campos eletromagn´ aticos se
aplicariam nestes casos? Mesmo na atmosfera, se existissem campos eletro-
magn´ eticos teriam outros efeitos por exemplo nas comunica ¸ c˜ oes via sat´ elite.
Vemos ent˜ ao que ´ e a MR que n˜ ao d´ a conta dos fatos observado s como
demostrado acima, um rel´ ogio na base de uma torre atrasa com rela¸ c˜ ao a
um rel´ ogio no topo da mesma devido ` a i nfluˆ encia do campo gra vitacional
da Terra. A Eq. (2) mostra ent˜ ao que segundo a mecˆ anica rela cional, mo-
las oscilando horizontalmente a Terra n˜ ao tˆ em sua freq¨ uˆ encia, dadas pela
Eq. (1), alterada estejam elas na base ou no topo da torre. Tai s osciladores
seriam apenas um exemplo de rel´ ogios que n˜ ao atrasariam de vido ao campo
gravitacional! A express˜ ao dada na MR para a oscila¸ c˜ ao de pende apenas
da massa gravitacional e da constante da mola, que s˜ ao conce itos primitivos
em sua teoria e portanto n˜ ao sofrem altera¸ c˜ ao das estrela s fixas.
Finalmente, a MR n˜ ao ´ e uma teoria de campos e portanto n˜ ao p revˆ e
a emiss˜ ao de ondas gravitacionais de maneira natural. Apes ar dos grandes
detectores terrestres de ondas gravitacionais ainda n˜ ao e starem em funciona-
mento, ondas gravitacionais j´ a foram indiretamente obser vadas em sistemas
astrof´ ısicos bin´ arios, como mencionado antes.
5 Coment´ arios finais
O fato de uma teoria satisfazer ou n˜ ao o Princ´ ıpio de Mach (e m qualquer
uma de suas formula¸ c˜ oes) n˜ ao pesa a favor ou contra a teori a, visto que n˜ ao
17h´ a qualquer experimento comprovando a validade dele, mesm o porque seria
bastante dif´ ıcil mover todas as estrelas do firmamento! A ex periˆ encia do
balde n˜ ao pode ser considerada uma verifica¸ c˜ ao experimen tal do princ´ ıpio
como ´ e afirmado na MR.
Sabemos que a lei de Coulomb tem corre¸ c˜ oes de origem quˆ ant ica, mas
nem por isso dizemos que a lei deve ser mudada, apenas reconhe ce-se que
num determinado contexto (o ˆ atomo de hidrogˆ enio, por exem plo) outros fa-
tores s˜ ao importantes. No caso da lei da gravita¸ c˜ ao de New ton, que tinha
sido testada para distˆ ancias maiores que 1 cm, pensava-se q ue poderiam
ocorrer desvios para distˆ ancias da ordem de µm. Especula-se por exemplo,
que, se existissem das dimens˜ oes espaciais extras, o poten cial gravitacional
de Newton seria substitu´ ıdo por uma express˜ ao mais geral. Trata-se de
uma proposta te´ orica, por´ em medidas recentes na escala de 200µm n˜ ao
mostram desvios da lei de gravita¸ c˜ ao de Newton [HO01]. Mes mo que esse
tipo de teorias venha a ser confirmada no futuro ainda assim co ntinuaremos
a usar o potencial de Newton em muitas das aplica¸ c˜ oes em dis tˆ ancias de
µmetros at´ e milhares de quilˆ ometros ou, dependendo da prec is˜ ao, a TRG.
Mesmo que desvios da lei da gravita¸ c˜ ao fossem um dia observ ados, cabe
ressaltar que seriam oriundos em teorias consistentes na ma ioria dos as-
pectos com a TRG. Estas teorias tˆ em de acrescentar outros in gredientes
te´ oricos, como simetrias extras ou mais dimens˜ oes espaci ais. Por outro
lado, na eletrodinˆ amica quˆ antica temos o deslocamento La mb, efeito bem
medido no atˆ omo de hidrogˆ enio, que implica numa corre¸ c˜ a o ao potencial de
Coulomb [HA84]. O que aprendemos com estes exemplos? A respo sta ´ e que
temos de ter sempre em mente em que contexto uma modifica¸ c˜ ao ´ e feita
numa lei b´ asica.
Um aspecto que deve ser notado ´ e que no pref´ acio da MR [AK99h ]
aparece o seguinte
Este livro ´ e direcionado a f´ ısicos, matem´ aticos, engenh eiros,
fil´ osofos e historiadores da ciˆ encia [ ···] Acima de tudo, ´ e escrito
para as pessoas jovens e sem preconceitos que tˆ em interesse nas
quest˜ oes da f´ ısica.
Deveria ser acrescentado e com pouco senso cr´ ıtico , porque para aceitar a
MR, depois das observa¸ c˜ oes acima discutidas, ´ e preciso, isto sim, ter precon-
ceitoa favor da mecˆ anica relacional. Ainda no pref´ acio podemos ler [AK 99i]
Ap´ os compreender a mecˆ anica relacional entraremos num
novo mundo, enxergando os mesmos fenˆ omenos com olhos difer -
entes e sob uma nova perspectiva. ´E uma mudan¸ ca de paradigma.
18O autor se refere ao conceito de paradigma cient´ ıfico introd uzido po T.
Kuhn. Sinceramente, leitor, se vocˆ e tem interesse nas ques t˜ oes da f´ ısica,
por acaso leu em algum lugar que Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, Dirac, Fermi,
Pauli, e tantos outros conhecidos cientistas fizeram logo de in´ ıcio esse tipo
de afirma¸ c˜ ao? Vamos al´ em: esses autores escreveram livro s sobre as suas
teorias somente depois de alguns anos e quando a comunidade d e f´ ısicos
era majoritariamente a favor delas. Enfim, a verdadeira f´ ısica nova s´ o
se percebe depois de certo tempo, mesmo para aqueles que a pro puseram.
Para Pais [PA95e]
A nova dinˆ amica contida nas equa¸ c˜ oes relativistas gener ali-
zadas n˜ ao foi completamente dominada, nem durante a vida de
Einstein, nem no quarto de s´ eculo que se seguiu ` a sua morte [ ···]
nem mesmo num n´ ıvel puramente cl´ assico, ningu´ em pode hoj e
em dia gabar-se de ter um dom´ ınio completo do rico conte´ udo
dinˆ amico da dinˆ amica n˜ ao linear designada por relativid ade geral.
Apenas na ciˆ encia patol´ ogica as coisas s˜ ao enganosamente claras de uma
vez por todas. Ali´ as essa ´ e, de fato, uma maneira de identifi c´ a-la. Os cien-
tistas tˆ em preconceitos, mas mesmo estes est˜ ao, na maiori a dos casos, bem
fundamentados. Agora sabemos, por exemplo, que o esquema de Copernico-
Kepler-Galileu precisava de uma f´ ısica nova, afinal formul ada por Newton;
que o que Boltzmann queria n˜ ao era poss´ ıvel sem a mecˆ anica quˆ antica, que
ainda n˜ ao tinha sido descoberta.12
Assim, n˜ ao ´ e apenas pelos testes diretos, desde Michelson e Morley, que
a relatividade ´ e aceita como correta em certo dom´ ınio de fe nˆ omenos. Mais
importante ainda ´ e a consistˆ encia que ela trouxe para dive rsos dom´ ınios:
astronomia, o sistema GPS, aceleradores de part´ ıculas, f´ ısica sub-atˆ omica,
etc.
Como exemplo de ciˆ encia patol´ ogica podemos lembrar do cas o Velikovsky
[LA99, EB00]. Immanuel Velikovsky (1895-1879) propˆ os uma teoria as-
tronˆ omica em seu livro “Worlds in Collision”. Ali ele dava a rgumentos so-
bre uma s´ erie de cat´ astrofes ocorridas na Terra, uma delas teria provocado
a abertura do Mar Vermelho para que os judeus vindos de Egito p udessem
atravessar o mar. Ao ser questionado sobre a inexistˆ encia d e outros registros
al´ em da B´ ıblia sobre esse tipo de cat´ astrofe ele argument ava: “amn´ esia co-
letiva provocada pelas mesmas cat´ astrofes”! S˜ ao esses ar gumentos de na-
tureza ad hoc que caraterizam a ciˆ encia patol´ ogica . Em particular, segundo
12Mas seus m´ etodos e princ´ ıpios estavam corretos. Apenas a n atureza n˜ ao os realizava
da maneira que ele acreditava.
19o qu´ ımico e prˆ emio Nobel I. Langmuir [ST00], a ciˆ encia pat ol´ ogica tem a
seguintes carater´ ısticas (existem outras mas estas s˜ ao m ais relacionadas com
a ciˆ encia experimental):
Fantastic theories contrary to experiences and criticisms are
met by ad hoc excuses thought up on the spur moment.
As cr´ ıticas no livro MR ` as TRE e TRG s˜ ao desse tipo, o argume nto de
“campos magn´ eticos” para expilcar a dilata¸ c˜ ao do tempo n o caso dos raios
c´ osmicos ´ e caracter´ ıstico desse tipo de argumenta¸ c˜ ao ad hoc . J´ a foi discu-
tido na se¸ c˜ ao anterior que isso n˜ ao procede, porque a dila ta¸ c˜ ao do tempo
j´ a foi medida em diversas situa¸ c˜ oes e concorda bem com a TR E e a TRG.
Ao obstinadamente negar estas teorias e tudo que elas implic am, o autor da
MR ´ e obrigado a recorrer a processos misteriosos e invocar f ontes ainda n˜ ao
investigadas, mas que tenham, para o incauto leitor,uma aur a de plausibili-
dade (efeitos novos, campos magn´ eticos desconhecidos, et c.). Por exemplo,
no problema da precess˜ ao das ´ orbitas dos planetas para fixa r o valor ob-
servado ´ e introduzido de forma ad hoc um parˆ ametro extra, ξ[AK99k] que
deve valer ξ= 6 para concordar com as medi¸ c˜ oes.
Por ´ ultimo e n˜ ao menos importante, o que dizer com rela¸ c˜ a o ao ensino
de f´ ısica no terceiro grau? Como apresentar para os estudan tes, sob o ponto
de vista da MR, afirma¸ c˜ oes como as que seguem (tomadas do res peitado e
muito usado livro texto de Purcell [PU78b])
Today we see in the postulate of relativity and their implica -
tions a wide framework, one that embraces all physical laws a nd
not solely those of electromagnetism. We expect any complet e
physical theory to be relativistically invariant.
Ensinar-se-ia a um grupo de estudantes “sem preconceitos” q ue estas frases
est˜ ao erradas?, que toda a f´ ısica do Sec. XX tamb´ em esta? N ˜ ao seria um
crime deixar os estudantes nessa ignorˆ ancia?
Mas n˜ ao apenas no ensino a n´ ıvel de segundo e terceiro grau. Por exem-
plo, n˜ ao ´ e conceb´ ıvel que um bi´ ologo, qu´ ımico ou f´ ısic o de outra especial-
idade, digamos de estado s´ olido ou ciˆ encia dos materiais, use ferramentas
como luz s´ ıncroton e acredite que a eletrodinˆ amica de Webe r ainda pode-
ria ser considerada uma teoria rival ` aquela que permitiu a c onstru¸ c˜ ao do
aparelho que usa nas suas pesquisas.
Finalmente, gostar´ ıamos de observar o seguinte. Mesmo se n os restringir-
20mos ` a ciˆ encia normal13podemos distinguir, numa mesma ´ area, diferentes
comunidades. A primeira divis˜ ao ´ e pela especializa¸ c˜ ao . Em geral uma co-
munidade tem uma ou v´ arias revistas nas quais publica assun tos de um
interesse que serve para definir essa comunidade. A maioria d as referˆ encias
usadas no livro MR est˜ ao em revistas onde n˜ ao s˜ ao usualmen te encontrados
trabalhos da ciˆ encia normal . Se algu´ em tem argumentos v´ alidos de que as
TRE e TRG est˜ ao erradas (esse ali´ as j´ a seria um resultado i mpressionante)
deveria publicar em revistas como Physical Review Letters. De nada adi-
anta argumentar que essas revistas n˜ ao publicariam, que tˆ em preconceito
etc. Isso mostra que as pessoas que apoiam os pontos de vista d a MR per-
tencem a uma comunidade marginal, isolada das principais te ndˆ encias da
f´ ısica. Tudo bem em outro lugar, mas ...na UNICAMP?
Para terminar, esperamos ter deixado claro duas coisas: 1)n˜ ao ´ e apenas
pelos testes diretos, desde Michelson e Morley, que as teori as da relatividade
s˜ ao aceitas como corretas em certo dom´ ınio de fenˆ omenos. Mais importante
ainda ´ e a consistˆ encia que ela trouxe para diversos dom´ ın ios: astronomia,
aceleradores de part´ ıculas, f´ ısica sub-atˆ omica, o sist ema GPS etc. 2)Que a
proposta da mecˆ anica relacional [AK99] ´ e errada e a resenh a anterior [SO99]
´ e, por isso, inconseq¨ ente.

Abstract
The most tight conformation of the trefoil knot found by the S ONO
algorithm is presented. Structure of the set of its self-con tact points is
analyzed.
1 Introduction
Finding the best way of packing a tube within a box seems to be r ather a gar-
dening than a scientific problem. However, the optimal singl e helix, discovered
in a computer simulation study of this problem, [1] and [2], p roves to be ubiqui-
tous in many proteins as their α-helical parts. It seems, as suggested in [3], that
also the closely packed double helix appearing in the proces s of twisting two
ropes together [4] have been already discovered and applied by nature. Labora-
tory experiments allow one to observe in the real time how the optimal helices
are formed in various systems e.g. the bacterial flagellas [5 ] or phospholipid
membranes [6].
Both processes, of packing the ropes and twisting them toget her, occur si-
multaneously when a knot tied on a rope becomes tightened. Th e problem of
finding the most tight, least rope consuming conformations o f knots was inde-
pendently posed and indicated as essential by different auth ors; for references
see [7]. Knots in such optimal, most tight conformations are often called ideal,
a term proposed by Simon [8], and introduced into the literat ure by Stasiak [9].
Ideal conformations minimize the value of the size-invaria nt variable Λ = L/D,
where LandDare, respectively, the length and the diameter of the perfect rope
(defined below) on which the knot is tied. The only knot whose i deal confor-
mation is known at present is the trivial knot (unknot). See F ig.1. Its length
in the ideal, circular conformation equals πD, thus Λ = π. Finding the ideal
conformation of a nontrivial knot is a nontrivial task. Init iated a few years ago
search for the ideal conformations of nontrivial knots cont inues.
1Figure 1: Ideal unknot.
One of the algorithms used in the search is SONO (Shrink-On-N o-Overlaps)[10].
SONO simulates a process in which the rope, on which a knot is t ied, slowly
shrinks. The rope is allowed to shrink only when no overlaps o f the rope with
itself are detected within the knot. When such overlaps occu r, SONO modifies
the knot conformation to remove them. If this is no more possi ble, the pro-
cess ends. Unfortunately, ending of the tightening process does not mean that
the ideal conformation of a given knot was found. The tighten ing process could
have stopped also because a local minimum of the thickness en ergy was entered.
The possibility that there exists a different, less rope cons uming conformation,
cannot be excluded.
SONO has been used in the search of ideal conformations of bot h prime and
composite knots. Parameters of the least rope consuming con formations found
by the algorithm were listed in [11] and [12]. In a few cases, S ONO managed to
find better conformations than the simulated annealing proc edure [9]. However,
for the most simple knots, in particular, the trefoil knot, t he simulated annealing
and SONO provided identical results; the Λ values are identi cal within experi-
mental errors. It seems obvious, that no better conformatio ns of the knot exist.
We feel obliged to emphasize, however, that it is only an intu itively obvious
conclusion - no formal proofs have been provided so far. As in dicated in [3], we
are in a situation similar to that, which lasted in the proble m of the best pack-
ing of spheres for 400 years. That the face centered cubic and hexagonal close
packed lattices were among the structures which minimize th e volume occupied
by closely packed hard spheres seemed to be obvious since the times of Kepler,
however the formal proof of the conjecture was provided but a few years ago [13].
Waiting for the formal proofs that what we have observed in th e knot tighten-
ing numerical experiments is the ideal conformation of the t refoil, seems to be
a too cautious attitude. Thus, after a few years of experimen ting, we decided
to present the best, least rope consuming conformation of th e trefoil knot we
managed to find. We compare it with the most tight conformatio n of the knot
which can be found within the analytically defined family of t orus knots. In
particular, we describe the qualitative change in the set of self-contacts which
2Figure 2: The perfect rope. Perpendicular sections of the ro pe are of the disk
shape. None of the disks are allowed to overlap. This puts a li mit not only on
the spacial distance of different fragments of the curve into which the rope is
shaped, but also on its local curvature.
takes place within the trefoil knot during the tightening pr ocess. We believe
that some of the features of the self-contact set we have foun d may be present
also in ideal conformations of other knot types.
An alternative method of searching for the most tight confor mations of knots
consists in inflating the rope on which the knot has been tied I n such a process
the length of the rope is kept fixed. The maximum radius to whic h the rope
in a given conformation of a knot can be inflated is closely rel ated with the
injectivity radius considered in detail by Rawdon [14].
2 The perfect rope
It is the aim of the computer simulations we perform to simula te the tightening
process of knots tied on the perfect rope : perfectly flexible, but at the same time
perfectly hard in its circular cross-section. The surface o f the perfect rope can
be seen as the union of all circles centered on and perpendicu lar to the knot
axisC. See Fig.2.
We assume that Cis smooth and simple, i.e. self-avoiding, what guaranties
that at each of its points rthe tangent vectors τ(r),and thus the circular
cross-section, are well defined. The surface remains smooth as long as:
A. the local curvature radius rκof the knot axis is nowhere smaller than
D/2,
B. the minimum distance of closest approach d∗is nowhere smaller then D/2
.
Theminimum distance of closest approach d∗, known also as the doubly
critical self-distance , see [8], is defined in [16], as the smallest distance between
all pairs of points ( r1,r2) on the knot axis, having the property, that the vector
(r2−r1) joining them is orthogonal to the tangent vectors τ(r1),τ(r2) located
3Figure 3: The trefoil knot is a torus knot - it can be tied on the surface of a
torus.
at the points:
d∗(C) = min
r1,r2∈C{|r2−r1|:τ(r1)⊥(r2−r1),τ(r2)⊥(r2−r1)} (1)
As shown by Gonzalez and Maddocks [16], the two conditions ca n be gath-
ered into a single one providing that the notion of the global curvature radius
ρGis introduced:
ρG(r1) = min
r2,r3∈C
r1/negationslash=r2/negationslash=r3/negationslash=r1ρ(r1,r2,r3) (2)
where, ρ(r1,r2,r3) is the radius of the unique circle (the circumcircle) which
passes through all of the three points: r1,r2andr3. Using the notion of the
global curvature, the condition which guaranties smoothne ss of the knot surface
can be reformulated as follows:
C. the global curvature radius ρGof the knot axis is nowhere smaller than
D/2.
Analysis of the conformations produced by the SONO algorith m proves that
conditions A and B, (and C) are fulfilled.
3 Parametrically tied trefoil knot
The trefoil knot can be tied on the surface of a torus. See Fig. 3Consider the set
4of 3 periodic functions:
x= [R+rcos(2ν1π t)]sin(2ν2π t) (3)
y= [R+rcos(2ν1π t)]cos(2ν2π t) (4)
z=rsin(2ν1π t) (5)
The trajectory determined by equations 3, 4 and 5 becomes clo sed as tspans
a unit interval. For the sake of simplicity we shall consider the [0 ,1) interval.
For all relatively prime integer values of ν1,ν2equations 3, 4 and 5 define self-
avoiding closed curves located on the surface of a torus. Rdenotes here the
radius of the circle determining the central axis of the toru s while rdenotes
the radius of its circular cross-sections. For the trefoil k not, frequencies ν1,ν2
equal 2 and 3, respectively. In what follows we consider knot s tied on a rope;
trajectories defined by equations 3, 4 and 5 determine positi on of its axis.
The (ν1, ν2) and the ( ν2, ν1) torus knots are ambient isotopic, i.e. they can
be transformed one into another without cutting the rope on w hich they are tied
[17]. As shown previously, the (2 ,3) version of the trefoil is less rope consuming
[12]. Thus, the (3 ,2) version will not be discussed below.
Assume that the trefoil knot whose axis is defined by equation s 3, 4 and 5
is tied on a rope of diameter D= 1. In what follows we shall refer to it as the
parametrically tied trefoil (PTT) knot. In such a case, radius rof the torus on
which the axis of knot is located, cannot be smaller than 1 /2 ; below this value
overlaps of the rope with itself will certainly appear; at r= 1/2 the rope remains
in a continuous self-contact along the torus axis. To keep th e self-contacts we
assume in what follows that r= 1/2. To check, if the knot is free of overlaps in
other regions, one can analyze the map of its internal distan ces. Let t1andt2be
two values of the parameter t, both located in the [0 ,1) interval. Let ( x1, y1, z1)
and (x2, y2, z2) be the coordinates of two points indicated within the knot a xis
byt1andt2, respectively. Let d(t1, t2) be the Euclidean distance between the
points:
d(t1, t2) =/radicalbig
(x2−x1)2+ (y2−y1)2+ (z2−z1)2 (6)
The map of the function, see Fig.4 displays a mirror symmetry induced by
the equality d(t1, t2) =d(t2, t1).
Looking for possible overlaps within the knot one looks for r egions within the
internal distances landscape, where d(t1, t2)<1. The most visible depression
within the landscape of the interknot distances is located a round the diagonal
where t1=t2. As easy to see, d(t1, t2) = 0 along the line, but for obvious
reasons this does not implies any overlaps within the knot.
Another valley within which d(t1, t2) may go down to the critical 1 value is
localized in the vicinity of lines defined by equality |t2−t1|= 1/2. To see, if in
the vicinity of the lines the height really drops to or even be low 1, we plotted
the map of the d(t1, t2) function in such a manner, that regions lying below the
arbitrarily chosen 1 .005 level were cut off.
5Figure 4: The map of the intraknot distances of the most tight PPT knot.
As seen in Fig.5 there are four such regions within the PTT kno t: one in the
shape of a sinusoidal band and three in shapes of almost circu lar patches. The
band contains in its middle the mentioned above continuous l ine of self-contacts
points; it is the axis of the torus on which the knot is tied. Th e circular patches
contain 3 additional contact points; when Rbecomes too small, overlaps appear
around the points. Numerical analysis we performed reveals that (with the 5
decimal digits accuracy we applied) the overlaps occurring within these regions
vanish above R= 1.1158. For R= 1.1159 the distance between the closest
points located within these regions of the knot equals 0 .9999. For R= 1.1158
the distance is equal 1 .0000. Where, within the PTT knot the self-contact points
are located is shown in Fig.6
4 SONO tied trefoil knot
Considerations presented above indicated the value of R, at which the PTT
knot reaches its most tight conformation. The length Ltof the rope engaged
in this conformation of the trefoil knot equals 17 .0883. Can one tie the trefoil
knot using a shorter piece of the rope? Theoretical consider ations indicate
that this possibility cannot be excluded. As proven in [18] t he piece of rope
used to tie the trefoil knot cannot be shorter than Lm= (2 +√
2)π≈10.72.
Such a location of this lower limit leaves a lot of place for a p ossible further
tightening of the knot. Application of SONO reveals that the tightening is
possible providing the conformation of the knot is allowed t o leave the subspace
of the parametrically tied torus conformations. This happe ns spontaneously in
6Figure 5: The map of the intraknot distances. Left - the most t ight PTT knot.
Right - the most tight STT knot. The map was cut from below at th e height

numerical simulations in which the most tight PTT knot is sup plied to SONO as
the initial conformation. SONO algorithm manages to make it shorter. In the
simulations we performed, SONO reduced the length of the kno t by about 4%
toLexp= 16.38. The discrete representation of the knot used in the simul ations
contained N= 327 nodes. Below we describe the final conformation. For the
sake of simplicity we shall refer to trefoil knots processed by the SONO algorithm
as the SONO tied trefoil (STT) knots.
The differences in the conformation of the most tight conform ations of the
PTT and STT knots is a subtle one. The essential difference lie s in the structure
of the sets of their self-contact points. As mentioned above , the circular line of
self-contact points present in the family of the PTT knots st ays intact as Ris
changed within the family. Tightening of a PTT knot achieved by decreasing the
radius Rof the torus stops when additional discrete points of contac ts appear
at three locations within the knot. This happens as Rbecomes equal 1 .1158.
Further tightening of the knot within the family of PTT knots is not possible,
7Figure 6: Localization of the set of self-contact points wit hin the most tight
PPT knot.
it becomes possible within the family of the STT knots.
During the tightening process carried out by SONO, the set of the self-
contact points undergoes both qualitative and quantitativ e changes. First of
all, the line of contacts present in the PTT knot changes its s hape becoming
distinctly non-circular. Secondly, the three contact poin ts give birth to pieces
of new line of self-contacts. Unexpectedly, the new pieces d o not connect into a
new line, wiggling around and crossing the old line, but they are mounted into
the old line in such a manner, that a single, self-avoiding an d knotted line of
self-contacts is created. That this is the case was revealed by a precise analysis
of the interknot distances function. A map covering the inte rknot distances only
within the very thin [1 .00000 ,1.00002] interval shows two separated lines, see
Fig.7, corresponding to a single, self-avoiding and knotte d line of contact.
In addition to the line, a set of three points of self-contact s is formed. The
points are located at places where the line of self-contacts becomes almost tan-
gent to itself. The self-contact line runs twice around the k not. As a result,
each of the circular cross-sections of the rope stays here in touch with another
two such sections. The close packed structure formed in such a manner is much
more stable than the structure of the most tight PTT knot, whe re single con-
tacts were predominant. Let us note, that figure 1e presented in ref. [16] a
similar self-contact line structure can be seen. Unfortuna tely, inspecting the
figure one cannot see, if the ”self-contact spikes” shown the re form a single,
self-avoiding, knotted or a double, crossing itself line. T he problem was not
discussed in the text. Let us emphasize, however, that the di fference between
8Figure 7: The set of the self-contact points in the most tight STT knot as seen
within the map of the intraknot distances.
the two possibilities is confined to a zero-measure set.
5 Discussion
Ideal knots are objects of which very little is known still. T he only knot whose
ideal conformation is known rigorously is the unknot. Its id eal conformation, a
circle of a radius identical with the radius of the rope on whi ch it is tied, can
be conveniently described parametrically. The set of the se lf-contact points is
here limited to a single point: the center of the circle. All c ircular sections of
the rope meet at this point. The maximum local curvature and t he minimum
double critical self-distance limiting conditions are sim ultaneously met.
The situation in the case of the trefoil knot, the simplest no n-trivial prime
knot, is radically different. Here the most tight parametric ally defined con-
formation proves to be not ideal. As demonstrated by the pres ent authors, it
can be tightened more with the use of the SONO algorithm. The s et of the
self-contact points becomes rebuilt during the tightening process. Its topology
becomes different. In the case the PPT knot the set of the self- contact points
consists of acircle and 3 separated points. As the numerical experiments we per-
formed suggest, in the case of the STT knot, the set of the self -contact points
turns unexpectedly into a single line. Which the structure o f the set of self

arXiv:physics/0103040v1 [physics.optics] 14 Mar 2001Absolute frequency measurement of the 435.5 nm171Yb+clock transition with a
Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond laser
J¨ orn Stenger, Christian Tamm, Nils Haverkamp, Stefan Weye rs, and Harald. R. Telle
Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Bundesallee 100 , 38116 Braunschweig, Germany
We have measured the frequency of the 6 s2S1/2−5d2D3/2electric-
quadrupole transition of171Yb+with a relative uncertainty of 1 ×10−14,
νY b= 688 358 979 309 312 Hz ±6 Hz. A femtosecond frequency comb gen-
erator was used to phase-coherently link the optical freque ncy derived from a
single trapped ion to a cesium fountain controlled hydrogen maser. This mea-
surement is one of the most accurate measurements of optical frequencies ever
reported, and it represents a contribution to the developme nt of optical clocks
based on an171Yb+ion standard.
Frequency comb generators based on Kerr-lens mode-
locked femtosecond lasers [1, 2] have dramatically sim-
plified absolute optical frequency measurements. Such
measurements of optical clock transitions in samples of
cold atoms or single trapped ions mark an important
step towards the realization of future optical clocks.
Several optical transition frequencies have already been
directly compared with primary cesium standards by
the femtosecond comb technique, such as the hydro-
gen Lyman- αtransition [3], the 657 nm intercombi-
nation transition in Ca [4, 5], or a mercury ion tran-
sition at 282 nm [5]. Recently, the indium ion clock
transition at 237 nm was measured with respect to a
cesium-fountain calibrated He-Ne standard [6]. Here
we report the first absolute frequency measurement
of the 6 s2S1/2(F= 0)−5d2D3/2(F= 2) transition of
171Yb+at 435.5 nm (688 THz).
This transition is attractive for optical clocks due
to its small natural linewidth of 3.1 Hz and a ∆ mF= 0
component with vanishing low-field linear Zeeman fre-
quency shift. A single171Yb+ion is laser cooled in a
spherical radiofrequency Paul trap so that the Lamb-
Dicke condition is satisfied at 435.5 nm. The clock
transition is alternately probed on both sides of the
resonance line with the frequency-doubled output of an
extended-cavity diode laser emitting at 871.0 nm. One
laser cooling and probe excitation cycle lasts 80 ms.
The frequency of the probe laser is stabilized to the line
center with an effective time constant of 30 s through
a second-order integrating servo algorithm. Short-timefluctuations are reduced by stabilization to an environ-
mentally isolated high-finesse cavity. More details are
given in Ref. [7]. In the measurements reported here
the171Yb+clock transition was resolved with an es-
sentially Fourier-limited linewidth of 30 Hz.
A frequency comb was generated by a Kerr-lens
mode-locked femtosecond laser. The emitted periodic
pulse train corresponds in the frequency domain to a
comb-like spectrum, which can be completely charac-
terized by only three numbers: the line spacing equal to
the repetition rate frep, the longitudinal mode order m
of a line and an offset frequency νceo, which reflects the
frequency offset of the whole comb with respect to the
frequency origin. Thus, an external optical frequency
νextcan be written
νext=νceo+mfrep+ ∆x , (1)
where ∆ xis the beat frequency of the external optical
signal with the mth comb mode. In the experiment
the radiofrequencies νceo,frep, and ∆ xare referenced
to a hydrogen maser, which in turn is compared with
a cesium fountain.
The experimental setup is schematically shown in
Fig. 1. The frequency comb generator comprises a
10 fs Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser and a
microstructure fiber [8] for external broadening of the
spectrum via self-phase modulation. More details are
given in Ref. [4]. By coupling approximately 30 mW
of the laser output into a 10 cm long piece of fiber we
achieved a spectrum ranging from 500 nm to 1200 nm.
1Figure 1: Schematic of the setup. LBO denotes the LiB 3O5–frequency doubling crystal, PD 1-3 photo detectors,
IF interference filter, and PLL phase-locked loop, respecti vely. Details are described in the text. Two additional
servo loops (not shown in the Figure) were used for a slow stab ilization of frepand ∆ xin order to keep the beat
signals within the hold-in range of the PLL tracking oscilla tors.
The 871 nm light from the171Yb+standard was
guided to the frequency comb generator via a 250 m
long single-mode polarization preserving fiber. About
1 mW of that light was combined with light from the
femtosecond laser. After spectral filtering by a 10 nm
(FWHM) interference filter and spatial filtering in a
short piece of single mode fiber the beat note ∆ xwas
detected with a fast Si PIN photodiode (PD 1), fil-
tered by a phase-locked loop (PLL) and counted by a
totalizing counter.
Special care had to be taken for a phase-resolved
determination of the repetition rate frep, which, ac-
cording to eqn. (1), enters the optical frequency mea-
surement with a large multiplication factor m. Thus we
detected the 103rd harmonic of frepat 10 GHz with a
fast InGaAs PIN photodiode (PD 2) after spectral fil-
tering with a fused-silica etalon. This microwave signal
was downconverted, filtered and frequency-multipliedby 288. Owing to the resulting large overall multi-
plication factor of 29664 the digitization error was re-
duced below the instability of the hydrogen maser. The
wavelength of the 871 nm signal was pre-measured by
a lambdameter with absolute accuracy corresponding
to 1.5 MHz, thus determining the longitudinal mode
order m.
The frequency νceowas measured by detecting the
beat note between frequency-doubled comb modes around
1070 nm and modes around 535 nm. According to eqn.
(1) the frequencies of the comb modes are shifted by
νceowhereas the harmonics are shifted by 2 νceo. The
resulting beat note νceowas detected by a photo mul-
tiplier (PD 3) after spatial and spectral filtering both
fields with a single mode fiber and a 600 l/mm grating,
respectively. The signal was tracked with a third PLL
and finally counted.
Data were taken on three different days. By averag-
2ing we derive the following value for the 6 s2S1/2(F=
0)−5d2D3/2(F= 2) electric-quadrupole clock tran-
sition of the171Yb+ion:
νY b= 688 358 979 309 312 Hz ±6 Hz.(2)
This frequency includes the frequency shift of the
171Yb+transition due to isotropic blackbody radiation
at an ambient temperature of 298 K. This shift is cal-
culated to −0.4 Hz using tabulated atomic data [9].
Fig. 2 shows the Allan standard deviation of one day’s
data. The typical instability of the hydrogen maser
(open circles in Fig 2) is approached.
Figure 2: Allan standard deviation of the171Yb+clock
transition measurement and that of the typical perfo-
mance of the hydrogen maser. The inset shows the dis-
tribution of the measured frequency values (averaging
time 1 s, bin-width = 40 Hz, σ= 111 Hz). The Allan
standard deviation of the clock transition measurement
approaches the typical performance of the hydrogen
maser. The maser was operated in a self-tuning mode
which reduced the available frequency stability for av-
eraging times in the range of 200 s.
The combined 1 σuncertainty of 6 Hz is given by
the random and systematic contributions listed in Ta-
ble 1. Sources of systematic uncertainties are the ce-
sium fountain frequency standard [10] and the171Yb+
frequency standard. The contributions due to ther-
mally and acoustically induced length fluctuations both
of the coaxial cable carrying the 100 MHz hydrogen
maser signal and of the optical fiber guiding the 871 nm
light was measured to be below 1 ×10−15and thus
are negligible. For the171Yb+frequency standard we
take into account a servo uncertainty of 1 Hz due to
probe laser frequency drifts which are in the rangeof - 0.05 ±0.03 Hz/s and a 3 Hz uncertainty due to
confinement-related shifts of the atomic transition fre-
quency. The dominant source of these is the electric-
quadrupole interaction of the upper state of the clock
transition with stationary electric field gradients. In
order to avoid quadrupole shifts by the trap field, the
applied trap voltage contained no dc component. The
residual shift due to uncompensated stray field gra-
dients is estimated to be not larger than 0.1 Hz for
atomic D3/2andD5/2states [11]. An arrangement of
compensation coils was used to adjust a magnetic field
of 1±0.2 mT in the trap region during excitation of the
171Yb+clock transition. The corresponding quadratic
Zeeman shift of the ∆ mF= 0 reference transition is in
the range of only 0.05 Hz. The trap region was pro-
tected from ambient heat sources by the light shield
of the trap setup. We assume that the thermal radia-
tion field in the trap region represented an equilibrium
blackbody field at room temperature and neglect the
corresponding contribution to the uncertainty budget.
In conclusion, we measured the frequency of the
electric-quadrupole clock transition of the171Yb+ion
with a relative uncertainty of 1 ×10−14. This demon-
strates the potential of the171Yb+standard as an
ultraprecise optical frequency reference. Simultane-
ously, we demonstrated the capability of a femtosecond
comb generator of measuring optical frequencies with
Cs clock accuracy. A future application can be the di-
rect frequency comparison of the171Yb+standard with
another optical standard such as the cold-atom based
calcium standard, aiming e.g. to measure a possible
variation of fundamental constants [12]. A drift of the
relative frequencies of these optical standards due to
a drift of the finestructure constant αby more than
10−15per year appears excluded [12]. However, the
unprecedented measurement accuracy achievable with
femtosecond comb generators encourages one to pursue
such fundamental, ultra-precise measurements.

We investigate the effects of geometrical micro-irregulari ties on the conversion efficiency of reactive
flows in narrow channels of millimetric size. Three-dimensi onal simulations, based upon a Lattice-
Boltzmann-Lax-Wendroff code, indicate that periodic micro -barriers may have an appreciable effect
on the effective reaction efficiency of the device. Once extrap olated to macroscopic scales, these
effects can result in a sizeable increase of the overall react ion efficiency.
I. INTRODUCTION
The formulation of mathematical models and atten-
dant simulational tools for the description of complex
phenomena involving multiple scales in space and time
represents one of the outstanding frontiers of modern
applied physics/mathematics [1]. One such example of
complex multiscale phenomena is the dynamics of reac-
tive flows, a subject of wide interdisciplinary concern in
theoretical and applied science, with several application s
in molecular engineering, material science, environmen-
tal and life sciences alike. The complexity of reactive flow
dynamics is parametrized by three dimensionless quanti-
ties: the Reynolds number Re=UL/ν , theDamkohler
number Da=τh/τc, and the Peclet number Pe=UH
D.
HereU,LandHdenote the macroscopic flow speed and
longitudinal/transversal lengths of the flow, respectivel y,
νthe fluid kinematic viscosity and Dthe pollutant molec-
ular diffusivity. The quantities τcandτhrepresent typical
timescales of chemical and hydrodynamic phenomena.
High Reynolds numbers are associated with turbu-
lence, namely loss of coherence of the flow field in both
space and time. High Damkohler numbers imply that
chemistry is much faster than hydrodynamics, so that re-
actions are always in chemical equilibrium and take place
in tiny regions (thin flames, reaction pockets) of evolving
flow configurations. The opposite regime (“well-stirred”
reactor) characterizes situations where the chemistry is
slow and always takes place at local mechanical equilib-
rium. Finally, high Peclet numbers imply that the trans-
ported species stick tightly to the fluid carrier (in the
limitPe→ ∞ the tracer field is “frozen-in” within flow
streamlines). Navigation across the three dimensional
Re−Da−Peparameter space meets with an enormous
variety of chemico-physical behaviours, ranging from tur-
bulent combustion to hydrodynamic dispersion and oth-
ers [2]. The picture gets further complicated when ge-
ometry is taken into account, since boundary conditions
select the spatio-temporal structures sustaining the non-linear interaction between the various fields. In this work
we shall deal with low-Reynolds, fast-reacting flows with
heterogeneus catalysis . In particular we wish to gain in-
sights into the role of geometric micro-irregularities on
the effective rate of absorption of tracer species (pollu-
tant hereafter) at catalytic boundaries. This is a theme
of broad interest, with applications in biology, physics,
chemistry, environmental sciences and more. It is there-
fore hoped that such kind of theoretical-computational
studies may promote a better understanding of the com-
plex phenomena behind these important applications [3].
II. MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF REACTIVE
MICROFLOW DYNAMICS
We shall deal with an incompressible, isothermal flow
with soluted species which are transported (advect and
diffuse) by the flow and, upon reaching solid walls, they
undergo catalytic chemical reactions . The basic equa-
tions of fluid motion are:
∂tρ+div(ρ/vector u) = 0 (1)
∂t(ρ/vector u) +div(ρ/vector u/vector u) =−∇P+div(µ∇/vector u) (2)
where ρis the flow density, /vector uthe flow speed, P=ρT
the fluid pressure, Tthe temperature and µ=ρνthe
dynamic viscosity and /vector u/vector udenotes the dyadic tensor
uaub, a, b=x, y, z .
Multispecies transport with chemical reactions is de-
scribed by a set of generalized continuity-diffusion equa-
tions:
∂tCs+div(Cs/vector us) =div[Ds∇(Cs/ρ)] +˙Ωs (3)
where Csdenotes the mass density of the generic s-
th species, Dsits mass diffusivity and ˙Ωsis a surface-
chemical reaction term to be detailed shortly. In the fol-
lowing we indicate with the subscripts wandgthe “wall”
(solid) and “gas” in contact with the wall respectively.
1According to Fick’s law, the outgoing (bulk-to-wall) dif-
fusive mass flux is given by:
/vectorJg→w=−D∇Cg|w. (4)
Upon contact with solid walls, the transported species
react according to the following empirical rate equation
(the species index being removed for simplicity):
˙Ω≡dCw
dt= Γw−KcCw(5)
where the wall-flux is taken in the simple linear form:
Γw=Kw(Cg−Cw) (6)
where Kwis the wall to/from fluid mass transfer rate
andKcis the chemical reaction rate dictating species
consumption once a molecule is absorbed by the wall.
The subscripts wandgmean “wall” (solid) and “gas”
in a contact with the wall respectively. The above rate
equation serves as a dynamic boundary condition for the
species transport equations, so that each boundary cell
can be regarded as a microscopic chemical reactor sus-
tained by the mass inflow from the fluid. In the absence
of surface chemical reactions the species concentration
in the solid wall would pile up in time, up to the point
where no outflow would occurr, a condition met when
Cg=Cw. Chemistry sets a time scale for this pile-up
and fixes the steady-state mass exchange rate. At steady
state we obtain:
Cw=Kw
Kw+KcCg(7)
hence
Γw=Cg
τw+τc(8)
where τw= 1/Kwandτc= 1/Kc. These expres-
sions show that finite-rate chemistry ( Kc>0) ensures
a non-zero steady wall outflux of pollutant. At steady
state, this mass flow to the catalytic wall comes into bal-
ance with chemical reactions, thus fixing a relation be-
tween the value of the wall-gradient concentration and
its normal-to-wall gradient:
/ba∇dblD∂⊥Cg|w/ba∇dbl=p Cg/(τc+τw),
where ∂⊥means the normal to the perimeter compo-
nent of the gradient and pis the perimeter (volume/area)
of the reactive cell. This is a mixed Neumann-Dirichlet
boundary condition and identifies the free-slip length of
the tracer as ls=D(τw+τc)/p.
III. THE COMPUTATIONAL METHOD
The flow field is solved by a lattice Boltzmann method
[4–7] while the multispecies transport and chemical re-
actions are handled with a variant of the Lax-Wendroff
method [8]. A few details are given in the following.A. Lattice Boltzmann equation
The simplest, and most popular form of lattice Boltz-
mann equation (Lattice BGK, for Bahtnagar, Gross,
Krook) [7], reads as follows:
fi(/vector x+/vector ci, t+ 1)−fi(/vector x, t) =−ω[fi−fe
i](/vector x, t) (9)
where fi(/vector x, t)≡f(/vector x,/vector v=/vector ci, t) is a discrete population
moving along the discrete speed /vector ci. The set of discrete
speeds must be chosen in such a way as to guarantee
mass, momentum and energy conservation, as well as ro-
tational invariance. Only a limited subclass of lattices
qualifies. In the sequel, we shall refer to the nineteen-
speed lattice consisting of zero-speed, speed one c= 1
(nearest neighbor connection), and speed c=√
2, (next-
nearest-neighbor connection). This makes a total of 19
discrete speeds, 6 neighbors, 12 nearest-neighbors and 1
rest particle ( c= 0). The right hand side of (9) represents
the relaxation to a local equilibrium fe
iin a time lapse of
the order of ω−1. This local equilibrium is usually taken
in the form of a quadratic expansion of a Maxwellian:
fe
i=ρ/bracketleftbigg
1 +/vector u·/vector ci
c2s+/vector u/vector u·(/vector ci/vector ci−c2
sI)
2c4s/bracketrightbigg
(10)
where csis the sound speed and Idenotes the identity.
Once the discrete populations are known, fluid density
and speed are obtained by (weighted) sums over the set
of discrete speeds:
ρ=m/summationdisplay
ifi, ρ/vector u =m/summationdisplay
ifi/vector ci (11)
LBE was historically derived as the one-body kinetic
equation resulting from many-body Lattice Gas Au-
tomata, but it can mathematically obtained by standard
projection upon Hermite polynomials of the continuum
BGK equation and subsequent evaluation of the kinetic
moment by Gaussian quadrature [9]. It so happens that
the discrete speeds /vector ciare nothing but the Gaussian knots,
showing that Gaussian integration achieves a sort of au-
tomatic “importance sampling” of velocity space which
allows to capture the complexities of hydrodynamic flows
by means of only a handful of discrete speeds. The LBE
proves a very competitive tool for the numerical studies
of hydrodynamic flows, ranging from complex flows in
porous media to fully developed turbulence.
B. Modified Lax-Wendroff scheme for species
transport
Since species transport equation is linear in the species
concentration, we can solve it on a simple 6-neighbors
cubic lattice. Within this approach, each species is as-
sociated with a species density Cs, which splits into six
separate contributions along the lattice links.
2With these preparations, the transport operator in 3
dimensions reads as follows (in units of ∆ t= 1)):
Cs(/vector x, t) =6/summationdisplay
j=0pj(/vector x−/vector cj, t−1)Cs(/vector x−/vector cj, t−1) (12)
The index jruns over /vector xand its nearest-neighbors (hence
simpler than the LBE stencil) spanned by the vectors
/vector x+/vector cj,j= 1,6,j= 0 being associated with the node /vector x
itself. The break-up coefficient pjrepresents the proba-
bility that a particle at /vector xj≡/vector x−/vector cjat time t−1 moves
along link jto contribute to Cs(/vector x) at time t. For instance
in a one dimensional lattice the exact expression of these
coefficients (in lattice units /vector cj=±1, j= 1,2, ∆t= 1)
is:
pi(x±1, t−1) =1∓u′
2+D′
s, i= 1,2 (13)
p0(x, t−1) =−2D′
s (14)
where u′= (u+ρ−1∂xρ) is the effective speed, in-
clusive of the density gradient component, and D′
s=
Ds(1−u′2)/2 is the effective diffusion, the square u′de-
pendence being dictated by arguments of numerical sta-
bility.
C. Multiscale considerations
The simulation of a reactive flow system is to all effects
amulti-physics problem involving four distinct physical
processes:
1. Fluid Motion (F)
2. Species Transport (T)
3. Fluid-Wall interaction (W)
4. Wall Chemical Reactions (C)
Each of these processes is characterized by its own
timescale which may differ considerably from process to
process depending on the local thermodynamic condi-
tions. Loosely speaking, we think of FandTas to
macroscopic phenomena, and WandCas of microscopic
ones. The relevant fluid scales are the advective and
momentum-diffusive time, and the mass-diffusion time
of the species respectively:
τA=L/U,
τν=H2/ν,(15)
where L, Hare the length and height of the fluid domain.
The relevant time scales for species dynamics are:
τD=H2/D,
τw=K−1
w,
τc=K−1
c(16)As discussed in the introduction, they define the major
dimensionless parameters
Re=UH/ν ≡τA/τν, (17)
Pe=UH/D ≡τA/τD, (18)
Dac=τc/τA, Da w=τw/τA (19)
To acknowledge the multiscale nature in time of the
problem, a subcycled time-stepper is adopted. This is
organized as follows. The code ticks with the hopping
time of the fluid populations from a lattice site to its
neighbors dt=dx/c= 1. Under all circumstances dt
is much smaller than both diffusive and advective fluid
scales in order to provide a faithful description of fluid
flow. Whenever dtexceeds the chemical time-scales (high
Damkohler regime), fractional time-stepping , i.e. subcy-
cling of the microscopic mechanisms, namely chemical-
wall transfer is performed. This means that the chemi-
cal and wall transfer operators are performed dt/τ c,dt/τ w
times respectively at each fluid cycle. As it will be ap-
preciated shortly, since the flow solver ticks at the sound
speed, the present microflow simulations proceed in very
short time steps, of the order of tens of nanoseconds. This
means that they can be in principle coupled to meso-
scopic methods, such as kinetic Monte Carlo, affording
a more realistic description of the fluid-wall interactions .
In particular, a Kinetic Monte Carlo update of a sin-
gle boundary cell could proceed in parallel with a cor-
responding hydrodynamic treatment of the entire pile of
fluid cells on top of the wall. The flip side of the medal
is that in order to draw quantitative conclusions at the
scale of the macroscopic devices a two-three decade ex-
trapolation is required. This commands a robust scaling
argument.
IV. CATALYTIC EFFICIENCY: QUALITATIVE
ANALYSIS
Ideally, we would like to synthetize a universal func-
tional dependence of the catalytic efficiency as a function
of the relevant dimensionless numbers and geometrical
design parameters:
η=f(Re, Da, Pe ; ¯g). (20)
where ¯ grepresents a vector of geometric parameters char-
acterizing the boundary shape. The question is to as-
sess the sensitivity of ηto ¯gand possibly find an op-
timal solution (maximum η) within the given parame-
ter space. Mathematically, this is a complex non-linear
functional optimization problem for the geometrical pa-
rameters. We find it convenient to start from a simple-
and yet representative-baseline geometry as an “unper-
turbed” zero order approximation, which is easily acces-
sible either analytically or numerically. Perturbations t o
3this baseline situation can then be parametrized as “topo-
logical excitations” on top of the geometrical “ground
state”. In the present study, the unperturbed geometry
is a straight channel of size Lalong the flow direction and
H×Hacross it. Perturbations are then defined as micro-
corrugations in the bottom wall of the form z=h(x, y),
h≡0 being the smooth-wall unperturbed case. In this
work, the perturbation is taken in the form of delta-like
protrusions (barriers) h(x, y, z ) =/summationtext
ihiδ(x−xi).
From a macroscopic point of view the device efficiency
is defined as amount of pollutant consumpted per unit
mass injected:
η=Φin−Φout
Φin(21)
where
Φ(x) =/integraldisplay
[uC](x, y, z )dydz (22)
is the longitudinal mass flow of the pollutant at section x.
The in-out longitudinal flow deficit is of course equal to
the amount of pollutant absorbed at the catalytic wall,
namely the normal-to-wall mass flow rate:
Γ =/integraldisplay
S/vector γ(x, y, z )·d/vectorS (23)
where the flux consists of both advective and diffusive
components:
/vector γ=/vector uC−D∇C (24)
and the integral runs over the entire absorbing surface S
The goal of the optimization problem is to maximize
Γ at a given Φ in. As it is apparent from the above ex-
pressions, this means maximizing complex configuration-
dependent quantities, such as the wall distribution of the
pollutant and its normal-to-wall gradient. For future pur-
poses, we find it convenient to recast the catalytic effi-
ciency as η= 1−T, where Tis the channell transmittance
T≡Φout/Φin (25)
From a microscopic viewpoint, Tcan be regarded as
the probability for a tracer molecule injected at the inlet
to exit the channel without being absorbed by the wall
and consequently it fixes the escape rate from the chemi-
cal trap. Roughly speaking, in the limit of fast-chemistry,
this is controlled by the ratio of advection to diffusion
timescales. More precisely, the escape rate is high if the
cross-channel distance walked by a tracer molecule in a
transit time τAis much smaller than the channel cross-
length H/2. Mathematically: DτA≪H2/4, which is:
Pe≫4L/H (26)
The above inequality (in reverse) shows that in order
to achieve high conversion efficiencies, the longitudinal
aspect ratio L/Hof the device has to scale linearly with
the Peclet number.A. The role of micro-irregularities
We now discuss the main qualitative effect of geomet-
rical roughness on the above picture from a microscopic
point of view, i.e. trying to resolve flow features at the
same scale of the micro-irregularity.
In the first place, geometric irregularities provide a po-
tential enhancement of reactivity via the sheer increase
of the surface/volume ratio. Of course, how much of this
potential is actually realized depends on the resulting
flow configuration.
Here, the fluid plays a two-faced role. First, geomet-
rical restrictions lead to local fluid acceleration, hence
less time for the pollutant molecules to migrate from
the bulk to the wall before being convected away by
the mainstream flow. This effect, usually negligible for
macroscopic flows, may become appreciable for micro-
flows with h/H≃0.1 (like in actual catalytic convert-
ers),hbeing the typical geometrical micro-scale of the
wall corrugations. Moreover, obstacles shield away part
of the active surface (wake of the obstacle) where the fluid
circulates at much reduced rates (stagnation) so that less
pollutant is fed into the active surface. The size of the
shielded region is proportional to the Reynolds number
of the flow. On the other hand, if by some mechanism the
flow proves capable of feeding the shielded region, then
efficient absorption is restored simply because the pollu-
tant is confined by recirculating patterns and has almost
infinite time to react without being convected away. The
ordinary mechanism to feed the wall is molecular diffu-
sion/dispersion, which is usually rather slow as compared
to advection. More efficient is the case where the flow de-
velops local micro-turbulence which may increase bulk-
to-wall diffusive transport via enhanced density gradients
and attendant density jumps Cg−Cw:
Γtur
w=−[w′C]w (27)
where w′is the normal-to-wall microturbulent velocity
fluctuation. This latter can even dominate the picture
whenever turbulent fluctuations are sufficiently energetic,
a condition met when the micro-Peclet number exceeds
unity:
Peh=w′h
D≫1 (28)
where his the typical geometrical micro-scale. Given
this complex competition of efficiency-promoting and
efficiency-degrading interweaved effects it is clear that
assessing which type of micro-irregularities can promote
better efficiency is a non-trivial task.
B. Efficiency: analytic and scaling considerations
For a smooth channel, the steady state solution of
the longitudinal concentration field away from the inlet
4boundary factors into the product of three independent
one-dimensional functions: C(x, y, z ) =X(x)Y(y)Z(z).
Replacing this ansatz into the steady-state version of the
equation (3) we obtain:
X(x) =X0e−x/l
Y(y) =Y0
Z(z) =Z0cos(z/l⊥)(29)
with the longitudinal and cross-flow absorption lengths
related via:
l=l2
⊥¯U
D(30)
where ¯Uis the average flow speed
¯U(x) =/summationdisplay
y,zu(x, y, z )C(x, y, z )//summationdisplay
y,zC(x, y, z ) (31)
Note that the profile along the spanwise coordinate y
remains almost flat because we stipulate that only the
top and bottom walls host catalytic reactions.
To determine the cross-flow absorption length l⊥we
impose that along all fluid cells in a contact with the
wall, the diffusive flux is exactly equal to fluid-to-wall
outflow, namely:

where we have set λ≡H/l⊥. For each set of parameters
this equation can be easily solved numerically to deliver
l⊥, hence lvia the Eq. (30).
Given the exponential dependence along the stream-
wise coordinate x, the efficiency can then be estimated
as:
η0≃1−e−L/l(36)Note that in the low absorption limit L≪l, the above
relation reduces to η0≃L/l, meaning that doubling,
say, the absorption length implies same efficiency with a
twice shorter catalyzer. In the opposite high-absorption
limit, L≫l, the relative pay-off becomes increasingly
less significant.
C. Corrugated channel: Analytical estimates
Having discussed tha baseline geometry, we now turn
to the case of a “perturbed” geometry. Let us begin by
considering a single barrier of height h. The reference
situation is a smooth channel at high Damkohler with
η0= 1−e−L/l. We seek perturbative corrections in the
smallness parameter g≡h/H, the coupling-strength to
geometrical perturbations. The unperturbed wall-flux is
Γ0≃2DCh
hLH (37)
where Chis the concentration at the tip of the barrier
calculated in the smooth channel. Therefore Ch/his an
estimate of the normal-to-wall diffusive gradient. The
geometrical gain due to extra-active wall surface is
Γ1≃ChuhhH (38)
where
uh≃4U0(g−g2) (39)
is the average longitudinal flow speed in front of the bar-
rier along a section x=const. . The shadowed region of
sizewin the wake of the obstacle yields a contribution
Γ2≃a DCh
hwH (40)
where ais a measure of the absorption activity in the
shielded region.
Three distinctive cases can be identified:
•a= 0: The wake region is totally deactivated, ab-
sorption zero.
•a= 1: The wake absorption is exactly the same as
for unperturbed flow
•a >1: The wake absorption is higher than with
unperturbed flow (back-flowing micro-vortices can
hit the rear side of the barrier)
Combining these expressions we obtain the following
compact expression:
δη
η0=Γ1+ Γ2−Γ2(h= 0)
Γ0≃A
2h
HReh[Sc+K(a−1)]
(41)
5where A=H/Lis the aspect ratio of the channel and
Sc=ν/Dis the Schmidt number (fluid viscosity/tracer
mass diffusivity) and the wake length can be estimated
asw/h=KRe hwithK≃0.1.
The above expression shows a perturbative (quadratic)
correction in hover the unperturbed (smooth chan-
nel situation). However, since the effective absorption
in the shielded region is affected by higher order com-
plex phenomena, the factor amay itself exhibit a non-
perturbative dependence on h, so that departures from
this quadratic scaling should not come as a surprise.
Apart from its actual accuracy, we believe expressions
like (41) may provide a qualitative guideline to esti-
mate the efficiency of generic/random obstacle distribu-
tions [ xi, hi]: In particular, they should offer a semi-
quantitative insights into non-perturbative effects due
to non-linear fluid interactions triggered by geometrical
micro-irregularities.
V. APPLICATION: REACTIVE FLOW OVER A
MICROBARRIER
The previous computational scheme has been applied
to a fluid flowing in a millimeter-sized box of of size 2 ×
1×1 millimeters along the x, y, z directions with a pair
of perpendicular barriers of height ha distance sapart
on the bottom wall (see Fig. 1 for a rapid sketch).
The single-barrier set up corresponds to the limit
s= 0. The fluid flow carries a passive pollutant, say
an exhaust gas flow, which is absorbed at the channel
walls where it disappears due to heterogeneus catalysis.
The flow is forced with a constant volumetric force which
mimics the effects of a pressure gradient. The exhaust
gas is continuously injected at the inlet, x= 0, with a
flat profile across the channel and, upon diffusing across
the flow, it reaches solid walls where it gets trapped and
subsequently reacts according to a first order catalytic
reaction:
C+A→P (42)
where Adenote an active catalyzer and Pthe reaction
products.
The initial conditions are:
C(x, y, z ) = 1, x= 1 (43)
C(x, y, z ) = 0,elsewher e (44)
ρ(x, y, z ) = 1 (45)
u(x, y, z ) =U0, v(x, y, z ) =w(x, y, z ) = 0 (46)
The pollutant is continuously injected at the inlet and
released at the open outlet, while flow periodicity is im-
posed at the inlet/outlet boundaries. On the upper and
lower walls, the flow speed is forced to vanish, whereasthe fluid-wall mass exchange is modelled via a mass trans-
fer rate equation of the form previously discussed.
We explore the effects of a sub-millimeter pair of barri-
ers of height ha distance sapart on the bottom wall. The
idea is to assess the effects of the interbarrier height ,h,
and interbarrier separation son the chemical efficiency.
Upon using a 80 ×40×40 computational grid, we obtain
a lattice with dx=dy=dz= 0.0025 (25 microns), and
dt=csdx/V s≃50 10−9(50 nanoseconds). Here we have
assumed a sound speed Vs= 300 m/s and used the fact
that the sound speed is cs= 1/√
3 in lattice units. Our
simulations refer to the following values (in lattice units ):
U0≃0.1−0.2,D= 0.1,ν= 0.01,Kc=Kw= 0.1. This
corresponds to a diffusion-limited scenario:
τc=τw= 10< τA≃800< τD= 16000 < τν= 160000
(47)
or, in terms of dimensionless numbers:
Pe≃40, Re≃400, Da > 80 (48)
As per the interbarrier separation, we consider the fol-
lowing values: h/H= 0.2 and s/L= 0,1/8,1/4,1/2, and
h/H= 0.05,0.1,0.2 fors/L= 0. For the sake of com-
parison, the case of a smooth wall ( s= 0, h= 0) is also
included.
The typical simulation time-span is t= 32000 time-
steps, namely about 1 .6 milliseconds in physical time,
corresponding to two mass diffusion times across the
channel. The physico-chemical parameters given above
are not intended to match any specific experimental con-
dition, but rather to develop a generic intuition for the
interplay of the various processes in action under the fast
chemistry assumption.
A. Single barrier: effects of barrier heigth
We consider a single barrier of height hplaced in the
middle of the bottom wall at x=L/2, z= 0. With
the above parameters we may estimate the reference effi-
ciency for the case of smooth channel flow. With ¯U≃0.1,
andτ= 20, we obtain l≃200, hence η0≃0.5.
A typical two-dimensional cut of the flow pattern and
pollutant spatial distribution in the section y=H/2 is
shown in Figs. 2 and 3, which refer to the case h= 8, s=
0 (h/H= 0.1, s/L= 0.0). An extended (if feeble) recir-
culation pattern is well visible past the barrier. Also, en-
hanced concentration gradients in correspondence of the
tip of the barrier is easily recognized from Fig. 3. A more
quantitative information is conveyed by Fig. 4, where the
integrated longitudinal concentration of the pollutant:
C(x) =/summationdisplay
y,zC(x, y, z ) (49)
6is presented for the cases h= 0,2,4,8 (always with
s= 0). The main highlight is a substantial reduction
of the pollutant concentration with increasing barrier
height. This is qualitatively very plausible since the bulk
flow is richer in pollutant and consequently the tip of the
barrier “eats up” more pollutant than the lower region.
In order to gain a semi-quantitative estimate of the chem-
ical efficiency, we measure the the pollutant longitudinal
mass flow:
Φ(x) =/summationdisplay
y,z[Cu](x, y, z ) (50)
The values at x= 1 and x=Ldefine the efficiency ac-
cording to Eq. (21) (to minimize finite-size effects actual
measurements are taken at x= 2 and x= 70).
The corresponding results are shown in Table I, where
subscript Arefers to the analytical expression (41) with
a= 1. These results are in a reasonable agreement with
the analytical estimate Eq. (41) taken at a= 1 (same
absorption as the smooth channel). However, for h= 8
the assumption a= 1 overestimates the actual efficiency,
indicating that the shielded region absorbs significantly
less pollutant than in the smooth-channel scenario. In-
deed, inspection of the transversal concentration profiles
(Fig. 5) along the chord x= 3L/4, y=H/2 reveals a
neat depletion of the pollutant in the wake region. This
is the shielding effect of the barrier.
Besides this efficiency-degrading effect, the barrier
also promotes a potentially beneficial flow recirculation,
which is well visible in Figs. 6 and 7. Figure 6 shows
the time evolution of the streamwise velocity u(z) in the
mid-line x= 3L/4, y=H/2. It clearly reveals that recir-
culating backflow only sets in for h= 8, and also shows
that the velocity profile gets very close to steady state.
A blow-up of the recirculating pattern in the near-wall
back-barrier region is shown in Fig. 7. However these
recirculation effects are feeble (the intensity of the recir -
culating flow is less than ten percent of the bulk flow)
and depletion remains the dominant mechanism. In fact
forh= 8 the measured local Peclet number is of the or-
der 0.01·8/0.1 = 0 .8, seemingly too small to promote
appreciable micro-turbulent effects. In passing, it should
be noticed that raising the barrier height has an appre-
ciable impact on the bulk flow as well, which displays
some twenty percent reduction due to mechanical losses
on the barrier.
Finally, we observe that the measured efficiency is
smaller than the theoretical ηcfor smoth channel. This
is due to the fact that the flow Φ( x= 2) is significantly
enhanced by the imposed inlet flat profile C(z) = 1 at
x= 1 (as well visible in Fig. 4). Leaving aside the initial
portion of the channel, our numerical data are pretty well
fitted by an exponential with absorption length l= 160,
in a reasonable agreement with the theoretical estimate
l≃200 obtained by solving Eqs. (30) and (32).B. Effects of barrier separation
Next we examine the effect of interbarrier separation.
To this purpose, three separations s= 10,20,40 sym-
metric around x0=L/2 are been considered. A typical
two-barrier flow pattern with s= 40 is shown in Fig. 8.
From this picture we see that even with the largest sepa-
ration s= 40, the second barrier is still marginally in the
wake of the first one. As a result, we expect it to suffer
seriously from the aforementioned depletion effected pro-
duced by the first barrier. This expectation is indeed con-
firmed by the results reported in Table II. These results
show that, at least on the microscopic scale, the presence
of a second barrier does not seem to make any significant
difference, regardless of its separation from the first one.
As anticipated, the most intuitive explanation is again
shadowing: the first barrier gets much more “food” than
the second one, which is left with much less pollutant due
to the depletion effect induced by the first one. Inspec-
tion of the longitudinal pollutant concentration (Fig. 9)
clearly shows that the first barrier, regardless of its lo-
cation, “eats up” most of the pollutant (deficit with re-
spect to the upper-lying smooth-channel curve is almost
unchanged on top of the second barrier). Of course, this
destructive interference is expected to go away for “well-
separated” barriers with s≫w. Indeed, the ultimate
goal of such investigations should be to devise geomet-
rical set-ups leading to constructive interference . This
would require much larger and longer simulations which
are beyond the scope of the present work.
C. Effects of barrier height on a longer timescale
Since the previous simulations only cover a fraction of
the global momentum diffusion time, one may wonder
how would the picture change by going to longer time
scales of the order of H2/ν. Longer single-barrier simula-
tions, with t= 160 ,000, up to 10 diffusion times, namely
about 15 milliseconds, provide the results exposed in Ta-
ble III.
We observe that the quantitative change is very minor,
just a small efficiency reduction due to a slightly higher
flow speed. Indeed, the spatial distribution of the pollu-
tant does not show any significant changes as compared
to the shorter simulations. and a similar conclusion ap-
plies to the flow pattern (see Figs. 10 and 11). This is
because in a Poiseuille flow, the fluid gets quickly to, say,
90 percent of its total bulk speed (and even quicker to
its near-wall steady configuration), while it takes much
longer to attain the remaining ten percent. Since it is
the near-wall flow configuration which matters mostly in
terms of a semi-quantitative estimate of the chemical effi-
ciency, we may conclude that the simulation span can be
contained to within a fraction of the global momentum
equilibration time.
7VI. UPSCALING TO MACROSCOPIC DEVICES
It is important to realize that even tiny improvements
on the microscopic scale can result in pretty sizeable cu-
mulative effects on the macroscopic scale of the real de-
vices, say 10 centimeters. Assuming for a while the ef-
ficiency of an array of Nserial micro-channels can be
estimated simply as
ηN= 1−TN, (51)
it is readily recognized that even low single-channel ef-
ficiencies can result in significant efficiencies of macro-
scopic devices with N= 10−100 (see Fig. 12). In
particular, single-channel transmittances as high as 90
percent can lead to appreciable macroscopic efficiencies,
around 60 percent, when just ten such micro-channels are
linked-up together. Such a sensitive dependence implies
that extrapolation to the macroscopic scales, even when
successfull in matching experimental data [11,12], must
be taken cautiously. In fact, the above expression (51)
represents of course a rather bold upscaling assumption.
As a partial supporting argument, we note that unless the
geometry itself is made self-affine (fractal walls [10]), or
the flow develops its own intrinsic scaling structure (fully
developed turbulence), the basic phenomena should re-
main controlled by a single scale l, independent of the
device size L. Since both instances can be excluded for
the present work, extrapolation to macroscopic scales is
indeed conceivable. Nonetheless, it is clear a tight sin-
ergy between computer simulation and adequate analyt-
ical scaling theories is in great demand to make sensible
predictions at the macroscopic scale.
VII. CONCLUSIONS
This work presents a very preliminary exploratory
study of the complex hydro-chemical phenomena which
control the effective reactivity of catalytic devices of mil -
limetric size. Although the simulations generally confirm
qualitative expectations on the overall dependence on the
major physical parameters, they also highlight the exis-
tence of non-perturbative effects, such as the onset of
micro-vorticity in the wake of geometrical obstrusions,
which are hardly amenable to analytical treatment. It is
hoped that the flexibility of the present computer tool, as
combined with semi-analytical theories, can be of signifi-
cant help in developing semi-quantitative intuition about
the subtle and fascinating interplay between geometry,
chemistry, diffusion and hydrodynamics in the design of
chemical traps, catalytic converters and other related de-
vices.VIII. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We study the problem of information propagation in brain mic rotubules. After considering the prop-
agation of electromagnetic waves in a fluid of permanent elec tric dipoles, the problem reduces to
the sine-Gordon wave equation in one space and one time dimen sions. The problem of propagation
of information is thus set.

Information is a central question in the understand-
ing of the mechanisms regulating the brain. Questions
as bounds on information, capacity of communication
channels are of extreme relevance and a theory of in-
formation and communication is of utter value [1]. Thus,
how much information can be stored by a cube is an im-
portant question. Foreseeable technology making use of
atomic manipulation would suggest an upper bound of
around 1020bits. But as technology takes advantage of
unforeseen paradigms, this number could grow up. Could
the bound grow without limit? With black hole ther-
modynamics some definite answers are forthcoming [2].
In Quantum Field Theory the question developed unex-
pectedly in the framework of black hole thermodynamics
and Quantum Gravity [3]. Some knowledge was already
known from Shannon’s Theory of Information as well [4].
Shannon imagined a system capable of storing infor-
mation by virtue of it possessing many distinguishable
states. A state ais not known a priori but its probabil-
itypais known. The measure of uncertainty corresponds
to an entropy Swhich formally coincides with the corre-
sponding statistical interpretation of entropy:
S=−K/summationdisplay
apaln pa (1)
On the other hand, it has been conjectured [5] that
the brain microtubules might be an active component of
the brain functioning. It is thus natural to consider elec-
tromagnetic waves moving in that cavity as transporting
and carrying information.
With these matters in mind, we consider here the ef-
fective electromagnetic wave obtained when the second
quantized electromagnetic field interacts with the per-
manent dipole moment of the vicinal water in brain mi-
crotubules. The second quantized electromagnetic field
shall be given by the usual development in frequency
components [6]. The electric dipoles can be seen as
two-component spinors described as effective spin-fields.
Therefore, we have, for the effective Hamiltonian,H=HQED−µN/summationdisplay
j=1[/vectorEtr(/vector xj, t)/vector s] +ǫN/summationdisplay
j=1sz,(2)
where /vectorEtris the electric field transversal to the wave
propagation direction and /vector sis a spin field describing the
electric dipole moment degree of freedom. The last term
represents an effective interaction of the z-component of
the electric dipole with an average electric field, that is,
it represents a two-energy eigenstates system. The value
ofǫ≈50cm−1= 6.3×10−3eV= 1 .0×10−14erg has been
claimed in [7].
Such a problem has been considered by [8]. We derive
some results which have not been explicitely obtained in
[8]. We suppose that the electromagnetic field has a fast
dependence on z−ctand a slow dependence on zandt,
allowing us to write the expansion

This is a quantum equation of motion. However we do

we take its quantum average. Such an average is easily

Let us discuss the physics behind the problem and the
consequences for the constants appearing in the solution.
First, the constant ǫis a free parameter and represents
the energy of a dipole in the vicinal water. It is of the
order of magnitude of difference of two molecular energy
levels. The study of vibration in water indicates the value
ǫ≈50cm−1= 6.3×10−3eV= 1 .0×10−14erg [7]. The
constant µrepresents the permanent electric dipole mo-
ment of the water, which is the electron charge times
0.2×10−8cm, that is, in CGS units, µ≈6.8×10−18. Fi-
nally, the number of molecules per unit volume is easily
obtained for the water, it is of the order of 0 .3×1023cm−3.
In order to fix the velocity of the wave, we integrate the
solitonic electric field imposing that it is the unit synapti c
potential coming from the quantum of transmitter pro-
ducing a postsynaptic potential, typically 0 .5 to 1 .0mV,as discussed in [9], who has proposed it to be a quantum
unit of potential in such a context. We have
V≈/integraldisplay
Edz=π
2¯hν0
µ, (12)
thus obtaining, for the velocity parameter, the value ν0≈
1.4×104cm/s, orν0
c≈0.5×10−6. With this result for
ν0we obtain for the constant Athe result A≈2.2×
1011s−1. Estimating the time to send information as that
necessary to pass the bulk of the soliton (7), we get a
rough estimate for the frequency of the waves as ν≈
A
6≈3.7×1010s−1.
On the other hand, taking the average electric field in
the brain as corresponding to the quantum unit of elec-
tric potential value as discussed above, namely ∼1mV,
divided by the lenght of the typical microtubule, that is,
∼10nm we are led, for the average electric field, to the
value
Eave≈10−1V2×102×10−9m≈3statV/cm (13)
Now, the constants AandEaveare related by
A=Emaxµ
¯h=√
2Eaveµ
¯h≈4×1010s−1(14)
This is compatible with the previous value for A, giving
us some confidence on the result.
The corresponding wavelenght is λ=c
2πA≈3mm.
This corresponds to the order of magnitude of the pineal
gland. Whether this is just a coincidence or whether it
has a deeper meaning is a question that deserves further
study. Moreover, it corresponds to a typical frequency
already obtained for phonon transitions in the brain, al-
lowing for new theoretical models of the interaction of
electromagnetism with the biological cells [10]!
Furthermore, there are bounds on information storage.
Theoretically, in a problem of completely different char-
acter, one arrives at the maximum entropy a cache can
hold, with the result
Imax<2πRE
¯hcln 2(15)
where Ris the overall radius of the object under study
andEits energy.
In the theory of solitons, the number of possible
information-holding configurations based on the soliton
equals the number of quanta that might populate the
first excited level. To this number we must add unity to
account for the soliton configuration itself. So, the pos-
sible configurations within an energy budget Eabove the
soliton energy is N(E) = 1+[[ E/¯hω]] ([[x]] stands for the
integral part of x), then
Imax=ln(1 + [[ E/ω1]])log2e bits (16)
consistent with the bound (15). In our case, for a micro-
tubule, we have R≈10−4cm. Taking the energy Eas cor-
responding to a quantum of energy ¯ hA0, from the source
2of the electromagnetic field, we find E= ¯hA0≈0.2eV.
In such a case,
Imax≈1 (17)
while the bound (15) corresponds to Imax<6.
It would not be too original to call such an information
aquantum information unit sent via the microtubuiles,
in view of similar considerations, in a diferent context by
Gabor [11]. In the present case, the soliton, formed by the
interaction of Quantum Electrodynamics with the elec-
tric dipole moment of the background water in the one-
dimensional device offered by microtubules is the natural
way chosen by nature to send information bits.
Another interesting point is the fact that the frequency
parameters which showed up naturally in the course of
the computations have natural interpretations in terms
of brain structures. The frequency A0≈3.1×1014s−1
is compatible with the size of the microtubules. But the
real frequency ν≈A0
6/radicalbigν0
c≈3.7×1010s−1is compatible
with the transition period observed for the socalled con-
formational changes connected with tubulin dimer pro-
tein (namely ≈109to 1011s−1) [8].
This is a further example of the application of Quan-
tum Field Theory to general aspects of matter interac-
tions in complex systems. It is clear that this is not
a way of achieving comprehension of the complexity as-
pects of such a sophisticated system, but it certainly pro-
vides valuable tools for working in this field as well.

Abstract. An explicit expression for P-wave velocity is proposed to develop a novel
tomographic technique in a spherically symmetric model of the Earth (MZY). The
distribution of the P velocity structure in the mantle is determined using only 34 P-
and 2 PcP- observed traveltimes. By applying a non-linear inversion, the P-residuals
in the range between 0º and 100º are minimised up to a maximum value of
0.015 s. Furthermore, from the high quality computation of PcP traveltimes, with
residuals much better than 0.13 s., it is possible to infer the existence of a brief low
velocity layer in the D” region. This is then followed by a gradual increasing in the
velocity profile towards the core, which begins at a depth of 2893.9 km.
Key words: D” shell, Earth’s mantle, P-wave velocity, tomography, traveltimes.
Introduction
To date, numerous studies use the arrival times of seismic waves to explore the
Earth structure. Seismic arrival times have provided a fundamental constraint on
the radial and lateral velocity structure of our planet. Sengupta and Toksoz (1976),
Clayton and Comer (1983), Dziewonski (1984) among others, studied the variation
of the P-wave velocity in the lower mantle. These works have been extended
rapidly to the whole mantle (Pulliam et al., 1993) from many different viewpoints
and perspectives, but concluding in almost all cases in interesting correlations with
the structure predicted by the plate tectonics. On the other hand, reference models
constitute the common basis for all the different studies concerning the Earth.
Some of them are fairly relevant and well known in the seismological literature, as
PREM (Dziewonski and Anderson, 1981), IASP91 (Kennet and Engdahl, 1991) and
SP6 (Morelli and Dziewonski, 1993). They constitute the starting point for a number
of applications, including seismic tomography and synthetic seismogram
calculations. The strategy of finding an agreement between physical meaningful and2achieving observations is of crucial importance. A decreasing of the relative error
between the reproduced and measured data becomes in an increasing knowledge of
the main features concerning the Earth structure. In this sense, any effort made to
improve the available reference models, will benefit on the current seismological
knowledge, especially those concerning local deviations in boundary interfaces in
the Earth’s interior.
From this viewpoint, in this preliminary work we pretend to improve the fitting
of reference traveltime tables (JB: Jeffreys and Bullen, 1958; BSSA: Herrin et al.,
1968) to observed traveltimes and, as consequence of that, to infer the slight
deviations of the whole structure with respect to the average models. We have
focused our attention on the tomography of the mantle, using and developing a
non-linear inversion technique based on the analytical solution of the elliptical
integrals involved in the theory of wave propagation. In this sense the approach
described in this paper cannot be viewed like an empirical model. We demonstrate
that the range of the achievement is large enough and, therefore, the real
interpretation is to be an improvement for the reference model derived from the
Herrin et al. traveltime tables, used in this work. Eventually, this sort of agreement
to respect the observed data (errors not larger than a particular threshold) has
been imposed as a first objective of this study, but it is not unique. The use of an
analytical function avoids the common strategy of deriving spherical averages from
seismological observations via an inversion procedure (i.e., the least-square
approach). An interesting comment of this performing can be found in Morelli and
Dziewonski (1993). In our scheme, the inherent biased data distribution is largely
overcome since only traveltime tables are taking into account. This absence of real
data is a major lack in the model we present in this paper, and we agree. However,
we keep the opinion that the results should be interpreted in a different way as
those derived from a reference model, because they maintain internal consistency
and do not pretend to be an alternative to PREM, ISAP91 or SP6 models.
The use of analytical functions to derive a model that globally reproduces the
observed traveltimes by acting locally on a multilayer and spherical mantle does not
prescribe the meaning, from a physical viewpoint, of the new model. Indeed, the
analytical tomography results in an improved understanding of some particular
areas, for example the D’’ layer at the base of the mantle. These features are the
most relevant conclusions of our work as they provide some slight differences to
the current knowledge of the mantle.
Methodology
The trial P-wave velocity function used in this work to analyse the structure of
the mantle can be summarised by the expression
v()r.r( ) B.Aln()r, (1)3where r is the radius, and (A,B) two independent parameters to be determined.
This formula can be simplified by defining the function
w()r( ) B .Aln()r , (2)
and then:
v()r.rw()r. (3)
The P-wave velocity function expressed in Eq. (1) has been used (Lana-
Renault and Cid, 1991; Lana-Renault, 1998) to obtain different Earth models by
varying the different parameters. The smoothness of this function makes it
adequate to tomographic studies of the Earth’s mantle, once a proper
parameterisation is applied, i.e. a division in many spherical layers, which is the
one followed in this work. Another useful property of the function described in Eq.
(1) is that converts the elliptical integrals arisen during the hamiltonian formulation
of ray propagation, into analytical functions. For example, for a ray crossing the
first layer ( i = 1) of the mantle, who radius of the top surface is R1 (Earth’s radius),
the epicentral distance D can be expressed as
D..2w1
A1senh.A1T
2, (4)
where:
w1w1R1B1.A1lnR1.
The general analytical expressions for D and T can be obtained using the
classical integral expressions (Bullen and Bolt, 1985)

Denoting the angle of incidence at the top surface of the ith layer by Ii and its
radius by Ri , and similarly for the variables at the bottom ( I´i and R´i ), see figure

several additions of these computed values at each layer. That is, if one ray travels

the following 2k+1 equations:

Finally, by integrating Eq. (9) between P(Ri) and P(r), it is easy to calculate
the radius of any single point P(r) along the trajectory:

With a single collection of observed traveltimes, it is possible to reproduce the
observations on the Earth’s surface for any event. For the sake of simplicity, as an
example of the versatility and functionality of the proposed methodology, we have
selected the datasets reproduced in Herrin et al. (1968) . The sequence of
calculations consists of determining the specific constants Ai , wi and w´i (i =
1,...,N), for each layer , N being the number of layers.
(Note that w´i is a measure of the thickness of the ith layer and that we don’t use
Bi . The parameter Bi is calculated after using the Eq. (6))
Let suppose these quantities are already known for the first k-1 layers, except
w´k-1, the starting point for the kth layer. The inverse problem can be posed as a
system of non-linear equations (12-14) that will provide the parameters Ak and w k
of the layer k. We must use three P-observed trajectories reproducing three fixed
points ( Dl , Tol ; l = 1,2,3) as boundary conditions for the system of 3(2k+1) non
linear equations with 3(2k+1) unknowns ( pl , Iil , I´il , Ikl , w´k-1 , wk , Ak). The
solution is then iterated till assure a convergence criterion, in our case, a threshold
for the computed residuals less than a certain value (10-15).
Known the values w´k-1 , wk , y Ak , we prove that the residual times To-Tc
(observed minus computed time) of the all the others P-trajectories which also
return to the surface-focus from the kth layer are smaller than a determined e . If it
is not so, we begin again taking others three observables ( Dl , Tol) nearer among
them.
It is to be noted that the algebra applied in our methodology permits a
discontinuity of the 1st kind ( w´k-1 ≠ wk) in the velocity function.
This last property can be analysed through the study of the derivative ( dT/dD)
(Herrin et al. , 1968), in order to detect jumps in the selected velocity pattern. If we
have the security that only a discontinuity of the 2nd kind ( w´k-1 = wk) is present,
then it is possible to work with only 2 observables ( D , To) or fixed boundary
conditions, thus eliminating 2k+1 redundant equations from the global system.
In this case, the experience tells us that is much better to work with one
observable ( D , To) and, thus, fixing the final of the k-1th layer by a value for w´k-1.
and insuring that the residual times of all the P-trajectories which return from the
k-1th layer to the surface-focus are less than our e . Thereby, we resolve a non
linear system with only 2k+1 equations.
We have performed a complete description of the Mantle using a maximum
residual time ε = 0.015 s. and only 34 P-observed traveltimes. The total number of
layers used in this description is 28. The last one finishes at a depth of 2810.1 km.,
maximum for the last P-observed trajectory at D = 100º according to Herrin et al.
(1968), with To = 826.7303 s. Once known the problematic of the lack of
information for D > 100º and the special case of the D” shell, we have worked with7data available from D > 88º and maximum residuals of 0.002 s. See Table 1 and
Residuals of P-travel times (Figure 2) for a graphic representation and further
details.

The 29th layer . Since the derivative associated with the surface-focus travel
time ( dT/dD) is effectively constant ( Herrin et al. , 1968) beyond 99.0º, and that our
residuals are practically zero for those points, we consider the boundary condition
w´28 = 1/p(100º) = w29 produces the best results. Thus, our problem is reduced to
calculate the parameters w´29 (final layer) and A29. For this purpose, we pose a
non linear system with two PcP observables. One of these fixed points should
always be the axial trajectory ( D = 0º ; To = 511.3 sec. ) that allows us to use
only one equation:
T.2

We have considered that the other observable should be very separated from
the first, and thus, selected D = 93º ; To = 795.2 s as second observable . Once
obtained the values w´29 and A29, all the PcP residuals were balanced with an error
less than 0.13 s. (Figure 3, Table 2 of PcP-travel times). By applying Eq. (18) we
found the outer core at 2893.9 km. Further details can be seen in Figures 4, 5, 6
and Table 3 of P-wave velocity.8Fig. 3. PcP-residual times To-Tc . D: 0 – 96º every 1º. Maximum residual

Fig. 4 shows a comparison between our velocity distribution and the one
provided by Herrin et al . (1968). The most conspicuous difference is observed at
2749.8 km ., final of the 25th layer, where the last trajectory returns to the surface
at D = 92º and the corresponding residual is null. Figure 5 exhibits residuals of
computed velocity Herrin et al. minus MZY. Let us note how the maximum residual

From 2749.8 km. until the core-mantle boundary ( region D” ), our velocity
distribution begins to be completely different to Herrin et al . (1968), as can be seen
in Fig. 6. This is due that Herrin et al. adopted a special smooth velocity distribution
to the region D” to explain the last results from Taggart and Engdahl, (1968) , which
indicated a slow increase of velocity towards the core. Morelli and Dziewonski
(1993), in their SP6 model, obtained a continuous decrease from 2741 km. In our
MZY model, we propose that D” region begins at 2780.7 km. with a brief (29.4 km.)
negative gradient (layers number 27 and 28) followed by a slow increase until the
core. With this profile we insure the residuals of all the observables P and PcP from
Herrin et al . (1968) are minima, and reproduce accurately the observed times.

MZY10Concluding remarks
We have presented a new technique to tomography the interior of the Earth for
which one is able to obtain residual times less than a determined value e for all
observed trajectories P. The more minor is the value of e, more genuine and real is
the tomography.
Also, we have seen that the technique MZY developed is very easy to apply. Its
potentiality is based in the function velocity found that it provides us analytical
solutions for Δ and T.

1On the Relativistic Origin of Inertia and Zero-Point Forces
Charles T. Ridgely
charles@ridgely.ws
Abstract
Current approaches to the problem of inertia attempt to explain the inertial properties of matter by
expressing the inertial mass appearing in Newton's second law of motion in terms of some other morefundamental interaction. One increasingly popular approach explains inertial and gravitational forces as drag
forces arising due to quantum vacuum zero-point phenomena. General relativity, however, suggests that
gravitational and inertial forces are manifestations of space-time geometry. Based on this, the presentanalysis demonstrates that inertia and zero-point forces are ultimately relativistic in origin. Additionally, it isargued that body forces induced on matter through zero-point interactions are resistive forces acting in
addition to inertia.
1. Introduction
One of the longest standing questions in physics certainly has been by what means do material bodies
resist changes to their states of motion (inertia). One approach to this problem has been to view inertia asmerely a fundamental property of all matter with no further explanation attainable. Another approach has
been to view inertia as arising due to a gravitational coupling among all matter in the universe. This
approach, first proposed by Mach (ca. 1883), stems from the notion that relative motion is meaningless inthe absence of surrounding matter. With this in mind, one is then led to the idea that the inertial propertiesof matter must somehow be related to the cosmic distribution of all matter in the universe [1].
Unfortunately, Mach's principle leads to action at a distance phenomena which even today appear
irreconcilable with accepted theory.
More recent studies have sought to explain inertia by expressing the inertial mass m appearing in
Newton's second law of motion,
()dmdt=fv ,( 1 )
in terms of some other more fundamental entity or interaction. At present, there appears to be several
approaches to this end. One approach put forth by J. F. Woodward and T. Mahood seeks to preserve, andapparently expand upon, the Machian view mentioned above [1]-[2]. Another approach, put forth withinthe Standard Model of particle physics, proposes a scalar Higgs field which assigns specific quantities of
energy to elementary particles. With this approach, elementary particles possess inertial properties simply
because they possess energy, which is equivalent to mass. Unfortunately, the Higgs mechanism stops shortof actually explaining why mass, or energy, resists acceleration. Consequently, the Higgs mechanismleaves us with the above-mentioned notion, mentioned above, that inertia is a fundamental property of all
matter with no further explanation attainable. Still another approach to the problem of inertia has been put
forth by B. Haisch, A. Rueda, H. E. Puthoff, et al [3]-[4]. With their approach, it is proposed that theinertial properties of ordinary matter are due to local interactions between a vacuum electromagnetic zero-
point field (ZPF) and subatomic particles, such as quarks and electrons, constituting ordinary matter. In2essence, the ZPF approach asserts that when a material object accelerates through the zero-point radiation
pervading all of space, some of the radiation is scattered by the quarks and electrons constituting the object.
This scattering of radiation exerts a reactive body force on the object, which, according to the ZPFproposal, can be associated with the inertial mass of the object.
Although we challenged the ZPF proposal in previous papers [5]-[6], the ZPF proposal seems
increasingly appealing. Not only does the ZPF proposal s uggest a local basis for gravitational and inertial
forces, thus avoiding action at a distance phenomena often associated with Mach's principle, but also seemsto suggest an intimate relationship between electromagnetism, inertia, and gravitation [3]-[4]. However,while current ZPF theory does show that zero-point phenomena give rise to body forces on ordinary matter,
this is only part of the story.
According to the ZPF proposal, the intrinsic rest mass-energy content of matter is induced in large part
through interaction with zero-point radiation. Incident zero-point radiation imparts an ultrarelativisticjittering motion, or zitterbewegung [4], to the quarks and electrons comprising ordinary matter, thereby
endowing matter with large quantities of internal kinetic energy. With this paradigm, the rest mass-energy
of matter predicted by the familiar expression
2Em c= is interpreted as entirely ZPF-induced kinetic
energy. But this seems to suggest that subatomic particles have no intrinsic rest mass-energy aside from
their ZPF-induced motion. Of course subatomic particles are, indeed, well known to possess definite
quantities of intrinsic rest mass-energy. A more traditional interpretation is that 2Em c= i s s i m p l y a
statement that all forms of energy exhibit inertial properties [7]-[8], which can be associated with inertial
mass, and that mass is merely one particular embodiment of energy. Herein, both interpretations are
utilized; the energy content of matter comprises intrinsic rest mass-energy as well as internal kinetic energy
due to ZPF-induced zitterbewegung [4] of subatomic particles.
Another important point to recognize is that general relativity suggests that gravitational and inertial
forces alike arise due to the behavior of space-time [9]-[14]. This implies that greater insight into the origin
of inertia cannot be obtained simply by eliminating the inertial mass m appearing in Eq. (1) in favor of
some other entity or interaction. Rather, space-time is a fundamental participant in the generation ofinertial and gravitational forces, and as such must be taken into account, as well [5]. Thus, while theenergy content of matter may indeed be largely ZPF-induced, one must still explain why energy resists
acceleration. On this basis, a primary objective of the present analysis is to provide an unequivocal
demonstration that the inertia of energy is ultimately a purely relativistic manifestation [5]. This isachieved by treating the mass, and more generally the energy, of matter as entirely generic, thereby singling
out the role played by relativity while avoiding an introduction of zero-point phenomena. A secondary
objective is to demonstrate that forces induced on matter by zero-point radiation are additional body forcesalso arising due to the relativistic properties of space-time [5].
In the next Section, general relativity is used to derive the proper force experienced by an observer
accelerating due to the action of an external force. This is carried out by expressing the geodesic equation
in accelerating coordinates and taking into account that the accelerating observer remains positioned at the3origin of the local accelerating coordinate system at all times. It is also pointed out that so long as the
observer’s acceleration is uniform, the components of the metric tensor in the accelerating system are
independent of time. Using these observations leads to an expression for the proper force suggesting thatthe behavior of space-time in the accelerating system is an active participant in the generation of inertia [5].Next, the expression for the proper force is used to derive an expression for the inertial resistance of the
accelerating observer as experienced by a force-producing agent who exerts a force on the accelerating
observer. This is done by considering the case of weak, Newtonian acceleration and then using Newton’sthird law of motion to obtain an expression for the reaction force experienced by the force-producing agent.The resulting expression for the inertial resistance supports a conventional notion that all forms of energy
actively resist acceleration [7]-[8], and suggests that such resistance is purely relativistic in origin [5].
In Section 3, special relativity is used to derive the inertial resistance experienced by a stationary
observer, residing in flat space-time, who exerts a constant force on a moving observer. Unlike theprevious Section, however, the moving observer considered in this Section does not undergo linear
acceleration; rather, the moving observer accelerates tangentially along a circular path of constant radius.
Upon each revolution the moving observer passes by the stationary observer with greater velocity. Fromthe perspective of the stationary system, time in the moving system appears increasingly dilated. Thechange in time dilation arising between the two observers is used to derive an expression for the inertial
resistance of the moving observer. The resulting expression for the inertial resistance is identical to that
derived in Section 2. It is concluded that all forms of energy possess inertial properties, arising due torelativity [5],[7]-[8].
Section 4 demonstrates that ZPF-induced forces acting on accelerating matter are ultimately relativistic
in origin, and that such forces act in addition to inertial forces. This is accomplished by considering auniformly accelerating block of matter. Observers residing on the accelerating block detect a flux of zero-point radiation passing through the block [4]. The force density due to this flux of radiation is derived for
the case of a small, particle-sized block. Upon expressing the force in terms of the relativistic Doppler-shift
of zero-point radiation occurring within the accelerating system, it becomes straightforward to see thatZPF-induced forces on matter are purely relativistic in origin. Next, the expression for the force is used toderive an expression for the total resistance acting on a particle accelerating uniformly through zero-point
radiation. The form of the resulting expression makes it clear that ZPF-induced forces act in addition to the
inertia of matter.
2. Proper Force Experienced by a Uniformly Accelerating Observer
As pointed out in the Introduction, general relativity suggests that inertial forces arise due to the
behavior of space-time in accelerating systems [9]-[14]. This is demonstrated herein by using general
relativity to derive the proper 3-force experienced by an accelerating observer.
Let an observer be accelerating uniformly under the action of a constant, external force. From the
vantage of the accelerating reference system, the observer’s local coordinate system appears as though4characterized by the presence of a uniform gravitational field [15]. The line element in the local
accelerating coordinate system can be expressed generally in the form
()22 2 2 2 2
00,, ds c g x y z dt dx dy dz=− − − ,( 2 )
in which ()00,, gx y z contains information about the force on the accelerating observer. So long as the
observer’s acceleration is uniform, ()00,, gx y z remains independent of time [16]-[17]. Upon noticing that
the accelerating observer remains stationary at the origin of the accelerating coordinate system at all times,
Eq. (2) leads to
()2
00,,dgx y zdtτ=.( 3 )
In this expression, dτ is an interval of proper time experienced by the accelerating observer and dt is an
interval of time experienced by a momentarily comoving observer whose coordinate origin is momentarily
coincident with that of the accelerating observer at a time 0 t=.
The proper force experienced by the accelerating observer can be derived by using the geodesic
equation:
2
20d x dx dx
dd dαµ ν
α
µνττ τ+Γ = ,( 4 )
in which the Christoffel symbol α
µνΓ is given by
()1,,,2gg g gαα β
µν µβνβνµµνβ Γ= + − .( 5 )
For the case of the accelerating observer residing within the accelerating coordinate system suggested by
Eq. (2), Eq. (4) is easily reduced to
2 2

00 20dx d tcd dα

τ τ+Γ =.( 6 )
Expressing the Christoffel symbol in terms of the accelerating coordinate system leads directly to
2 22
00 2,02j
jdx c d tggd dα
α
τ τ−=,( 7 )
wherein Latin indices are carried over the set of values {1, 2, 3}. This expression simplifies further upon
noticing that partial differentiation of Eq. (3) yields500,2jjddgdt dtττ =∂ ,( 8 )
in which j∂ denotes partial differentiation with respect to jx. As a further simplification, the inverse
metric tensor jgα can be expressed in the form
0, 0
,j
ijgiα α
δα= =−=,( 9 )
wherein ijδ equals unity when ij=, and equals zero when ij≠. Substituting Eqs. (8) and (9) into Eq.
(7) leads to
2
2
20i
ij
jdx d t d tcdd dδττ τ+∂ = . (10)
Next, expressing the second term in terms of a natural logarithm, Eq. (10) can be recast in the form
2
2
2ln 0i
ij
jdx d tcd dδτ τ−∂ =. (11)
This is the proper acceleration experienced by the accelerating observer.
Equation (11) can be used to derive an expression for the force experienced by the accelerating observer
upon noticing that the external force acting on the observer is expressible as
2
2i
i dxfmdτ= , (12)
where m is the observer’s proper mass. Using Eq. (12), and simplifying a bit, Eq. (11) then becomes
2lnii j
jdtfm cdδτ=∂ . (13)
This is the proper force experienced by the accelerating observer [5].
With Eq. (13) in hand, the inertial resistance of the observer can be derived. One approach is to
transform Eq. (13) from the accelerating frame to the reference frame from which the force on the observer
arises. Another approach is to consider the case of weak acceleration, thereby placing the force within theNewtonian realm, and then appeal to Newton’s third law of motion. Choosing the latter approach, one will
notice that when the observer accelerates weakly, the scalar function
dt dτ assumes values very close to
unity. For the case of weak acceleration, therefore, the natural logarithm of the scalar function dt dτ may
be approximated by use of the expression [18]6ln 1dt dt
ddττ≈−. (14)
Using this approximation in Eq. (13) leads directly to
2 ii j
jdtfm cdδτ=∂ . (15)
This is the force experienced by the accelerating observer in the limit of weak, Newtonian acceleration.
Expressing Eq. (15) in vector notation, the force experienced by the accelerating observer becomes
dtEdτ=f∇∇∇∇ , (16)
where 2Em c= has been used, and ∇∇∇∇ represents the three dimensional gradient operator. Equation (16)
expresses the force imparted to the accelerating observer by an external force-producing agent. Assuming
that the force-producing agent resides in an inertial frame, Newton’s third law of motion suggests that the
reaction force experienced by the force-producing agent is given by in=−ff . The subscript on inf
indicates that the reaction force is due to the inertia of the accelerating observer. Using this force with Eq.
(16) leads directly to
indtEdτ=−f∇∇∇∇ . (17)
This is the inertial resistance of the accelerating observer experienced by the force-producing agent [5]. It
is straightforward to see that the inertial resistance is solely dependent upon the total proper energy content
of the accelerating observer and the gradient of the scalar function dt dτ arising due to relativity. The
form of Eq. (17) suggests that all forms of energy resist acceleration and possess inertial properties which
are entirely relativistic in origin [5],[7]-[8]. On this basis, it may be concluded that inertia is purely
relativistic.
3. Inertial Resistance of an Observer Accelerating in Flat Space-Time
In the previous Section, general relativity was used to demonstrate that all forms of energy possess
inertial properties arising as purely relativistic manifestations [5],[7]-[8]. In this Section, special relativity
is used to derive the inertial resistance of an observer accelerating uniformly through flat space-time.
Consider a stationary observer residing in an inertial system S who applies a force to a second, moving
observer such that the moving observer accelerates tangentially along a circular path of radius r. It is
envisioned that the stationary observer exerts the force on the moving observer through the use of some
mechanical means, which exerts a constant torque on the moving observer. The stationary observer
compares the lengths of time intervals in the moving and stationary systems each time the moving observer7reaches the point of closest approach; that is, when the relative velocity is entirely transverse. As the
moving observer’s velocity increases, the stationary observer finds that time in the moving system becomes
increasingly dilated according to the familiar expression [19]:
221
1dt
d vc τ= −, (18)
where dt is a time interval in system S, and dτ is an interval of proper time experienced by the moving
observer. The stationary observer determines an initial time dilation ()idt dτ; and then at some later time,
the stationary observer determines a final time dilation ()fdt dτ:

where iv and fv are initial and final velocities of the moving observer at the instants when the initial and

It is now straightforward to see that the integrand on the RHS of this expression contains the familiar

1 ff
iidtdddEτ⋅= ⋅∫∫lf l ∇∇∇∇ , (29)
wherein 2Em c= has been used, and f is the external force imparted to the moving observer by the
stationary observer.9While the moving observer accelerates, there are at least two forces detectable by the stationary
observer. One force is the external force f applied to the moving observer by the stationary observer. A
second force is the moving observer’s inertial resistance inf. Assuming that no other external forces are
present, the inertial resistance is related to the external force according to in=−ff . Substituting this into
Eq. (29), and eliminating the integration on both sides of the expression leads directly to
indtEdτ=−f∇∇∇∇ . (30)
This is the inertial resistance of the moving observer, experienced by the stationary observer residing in flat
space-time [5]. The form of Eq. (30) is identical to that of Eq. (17), derived on the basis of generalrelativity, and suggests that all forms of energy, regardless of embodiment, exhibit inertial properties
arising as purely relativistic phenomena [5],[7]-[8].
4. Resistance Force on Accelerating Matter due to Zero-Point
Radiation
According to the preceding Sections, special and general relativity suggest that the inertial properties of
matter, as well as of all other forms of energy, are purely relativistic in origin. In this Section, it isdemonstrated that forces induced on matter through interaction with zero-point radiation are ultimately
relativistic in origin, and that such forces arise in addition to inertial forces.
Consider a block of matter, of proper volume V, undergoing uniform acceleration through flat space-
time due to an external force. Observers residing on the block detect a flux of zero-point radiation entering
the block through the front side, which may be called wall A, and passing out of the block through the back
side, called wall B. According to these observers, the radiation within the volume of the block possesses a
momentum density of the form
()21
ABc∆= − SS pppp , (31)
where AS and BS are Poynting vectors corresponding to the flux of zero-point radiation detected at walls
A and B, respectively. While the block accelerates, the Poynting vectors are not equal in magnitude; zero-
point radiation becomes Doppler-shifted as it passes through the accelerating frame of the block. Taking
this into consideration, the Poynting vectors may be expressed in terms of the energy density of the ZPFobserved at each wall:
AAcu=Sn , (32a)
BBcu=Sn , (32b)10where the subscripts A and B indicate the walls at which the energy density of the ZPF is detected, and n is
a unit vector pointing in the direction of the block's acceleration. Since the block is accelerating, zero-point
radiation gains energy as it passes from wall A to wall B. As a result, radiation detected at wall B appears
blue-shifted relative to radiation detected at wall A. Taking this into account, the Poynting vector given by
Eq. (32b) can be expressed as
2

Bdcudτ

where Adτ and Bdτ are intervals of proper time experienced by the observers situated at walls A and B,
respectively. Using Eqs. (32a) and (33) in Eq. (31), the momentum density of zero-point radiation within
the block becomes

1AA
Bud

τ∆= − n pppp . (34)
Expressing this in terms of time experienced by observers residing in a momentarily comoving reference

AA
ABud dt dt
cd t d dτ
ττ ∆= − n pppp , (35)
where dt is an interval of time experienced by the observers in the MCRF.
With Eq. (35) in hand, the force density due to zero-point radiation passing through the block can be
derived by using τ=∆ ∆fpfpfpfp , where τ∆ is an interval of proper time in the accelerating frame of the
block. Supposing that the x′−axis of the accelerating coordinate system is oriented in the direction of the
block’s acceleration, observers positioned at wall A can express τ∆ in terms of the block's length, x′∆,
along the x′−axis of the accelerating frame. This is carried out by observing that the time taken for a light
signal to complete a round trip across the block is 2xcτ′ ∆=∆ . Using this time interval and Eq. (35), the
force density can then be expressed as
22 2
ˆ

ABud dt dt

ττ ′ =− ′∆ x ffff , (36)
where ˆ′x is a unit vector aligned along the x′−axis of the local accelerating coordinate system. Equation
(36) holds for volumes in which ABddττ≠ and x′∆ assumes measurable values. When the volume of the
block is on the order of a particle-sized volume, however, then Adτ is approximately equal to Bdτ and x′∆11is infinitesimally small. The force density within a particle-sized volume can be obtained by taking the
limit of Eq. (36) as Bdτ tends to Adτ and x′∆ tends to zero:
0BAdd
xLim
ττ→
′∆→′=ffffffff . (37)
Carrying out the limit for the case of a particle and noting that BA dt d dt dττ> , the force density assumes
the form [5]-[6]
ˆ lndtuxdτ∂ ′′=− ′∂x ffff , (38)
where u is the proper energy density of the ZPF according to observers moving with the particle.
Equation (38) expresses the force density due to zero-point radiation passing through and interacting
with a particle of matter undergoing substantial acceleration. It will be noticed that Eq. (38) is substantiallysimilar to Eq. (13) of Section 2. In Section 2, it was pointed out that when the acceleration is weak, the
scalar function
dt dτ can be approximated by use of the expression given by Eq. (14). Upon using Eq.
(14) with the force density, embodied by Eq. (38), one immediately obtains [5]-[6]
0 ˆdtuxdτ∂′′=− ′∂x ffff . (39)
Upon transforming this expression from the accelerating system to the inertial frame from which the
external force on the particle arises, the force density becomes [5]-[6]
dtudτ=−∇∇∇∇ ffff , (40)
where the prime has been dropped from ′ffff for simplicity. Equation (40) is a resistance force on the
particle due to interaction with zero-point radiation.
According to a force-producing observer residing in flat space-time, when an external force is applied
to the particle, a resistance force ZPFf arises due to interaction between the particle and zero-point radiation.
Using Eq. (40), such as observer can express this resistance force as
ZPFdtuVdτ=−f ∇∇∇∇ , (41)
where V is the proper volume of the accelerating particle. Equation (41) gives the resistance force acting
on the accelerating particle due to the scattering of zero-point radiation. According to Eq. (41), the force on
the particle arises not only due to the presence of zero-point radiation, but also due to the gradient of the
scalar function dt dτ. It is interesting to note that when the scalar function dt dτ assumes a constant12value (i.e., the particle is no longer accelerating), the force given by Eq. (41) is then zero. This suggests
that while zero-point phenomena may give rise to a large portion of the mass-energy content of matter, the
inertia of such energy is purely relativistic [5].
At this point, it is worthwhile to show that Eq. (41) can be used to derive an expression for the total
resistance force acting on the accelerating particle discussed above. According to the ZPF proposal, when
a material body undergoes acceleration due to an external force, the quarks and electrons constituting the
body scatter a portion of the zero-point radiation passing through the body. The scattered portion ofradiation imparts an energy density to the accelerating body, which is expressed in the form [4]
()3
232ZPFudcωηω ωπ=∫!, (42)
In this expression, ()ηω is a spectral function that governs the fraction of zero-point radiation that actually
interacts with the accelerating body. Those who support the ZPF proposal interpret the energy density,
given by Eq. (42), as the sole origin of the inertial mass of matter [3]-[4]. However, as discussed in the
Introduction, another form of energy that must be taken into account is the intrinsic proper mass-energy ofthe accelerating body [5]-[8]. On this basis, the total energy content of the body must be expressed as
Total ZPFEE E U=+ + , where E is the intrinsic mass-energy of the body, ZPFE is the internal kinetic energy
due to ZPF-induced zitterbewegung [4] of the subatomic particles comprising the body, and U includes
additional forms of energy that may be present. Using this expression for the accelerating particle
discussed above leads to
()3
2
232TotalEm c V d Ucωηω ωπ=+ +∫!, (43)
where 2Em c= has been used in the first term, Eq. (42) has been used to obtain the second term, and V is
the proper volume of the particle.
In order to derive an expression for the total resistance force acting of the accelerating particle, Eq. (41)
must be amended to include all forms of energy possessed by the particle [7]-[8]. This calls for replacing
uV in Eq. (41) with the total energy given by Eq. (43). Carrying this out gives the force in the form
()3
2
232dtmc V d Ud cωηω ωτ π =− + + ∫f!∇∇∇∇ . (44)
This expresses the total resistance force acting on the uniformly accelerating particle.
Equation (44) can be simplified by considering the case of weak, uniform acceleration along the
x−coordinate axis of an inertial system. For this case, the scalar function dt dτ may be expressed in the
form1321dt ax
dcτ≈+ , (45)
where a is the acceleration and x is a distance traveled along the x−axis due to the acceleration.
Carrying out the gradient of this expression leads to
2dt
dcτ=a∇∇∇∇ , (46)
where the acceleration is expressed in vector notation as ˆa=ax . Substituting Eq. (46) into Eq. (44), and
simplifying a bit, then leads to
()3
22 3 22VUmdcc cωηω ωπ=− − −
∫fa a a!. (47)
Equation (47) is the total resistance force acting on a particle of proper mass m that accelerates
uniformly through zero-point radiation. With the exclusion of the first and last terms, Eq. (47) is identicalto an expression for the force derived on the basis of ZPF theory [4]. Supporters of the ZPF proposal claimthat the inertial mass of accelerating matter ought to be expressed entirely by the expression within
parentheses, in the second term of Eq. (47). Clearly, this can be the case only if the energy content of
matter is entirely due to ZPF-induced zitterbewegung [4] of the subatomic particles comprising matter,thereby allowing one to drop the first and last terms in Eq. (47). According to the Introduction, however,
one cannot disregard the intrinsic mass-energy content of matter. As shown herein, the intrinsic mass-
energy content of matter gives rise inertial phenomena arising solely due the relativistic properties of space-time [5]. Based on this, it appears that the only way to reconcile the intrinsic inertial properties of ordinarymatter with the ZPF proposal is to accept that ZPF-induced forces are resistive forces acting in addition to
inertia.
5. Discussion and Conclusions
One approach to the problem of inertia has been an attempt to express the inertial mass appearing in
Newton's second law of motion in terms of some other more fundamental entity or interaction. Anincreasingly popular, and very appealing, approach to this end is the zero-point field (ZPF) proposal, which
asserts that inertia and gravitation arise due to scattering of zero-point radiation by quarks and electrons
constituting ordinary matter [3]-[4]. An objective of the present analysis, however, has been to show thatthe inertial properties of ordinary matter are ultimately relativistic in origin [5].
As pointed out in the Introduction, general relativity asserts that the forces of gravitation and inertia
arise directly out the structure of space-time [9]-[14]. Based on this, both special and general relativity
were used to derive an expression for the inertial resistance of an observer undergoing acceleration due toan external force. Both approaches led to an expression for the inertial resistance suggesting that all forms14of energy possess inertial properties manifesting chiefly due to the relativistic properties of space-time
[5],[7]-[8]. Although electromagnetic zero-point phenomena may well be the origin of the energy content
of matter [4], neither of the above-mentioned approaches required a specific appeal to zero-pointphenomena. On this basis, it was concluded that inertia is a purely relativistic manifestation [5].
Another objective of the present analysis was to demonstrate that forces induced on matter due to zero-
point radiation are additional body forces arising due to the relativistic properties of space-time. This was
carried out by deriving the resistance force acting on an accelerating block of matter that scatters a portionof the zero-point radiation passing through the block. Expressing the force in terms of the Doppler-shift ofradiation in the accelerating system led directly to an expression for the force identical to that derived
herein on the basis of special and general relativity. In addition, the expression for the force was used in
conjunction with an expression for the energy density of zero-point radiation that interacts with anaccelerating particle [4]. This led to an expression suggesting that ZPF-induced forces are resistive forcesacting in addition to inertia.

Abstract
We experimentally studied the Faraday rotation of resonant light in an
optically-thick cloud of laser-cooled rubidium atoms. Mea surements yield
a large Verdet constant in the range of 200000◦/T/mm and a maximal
polarization rotation of 150◦. A complete analysis of the polarization state
of the transmitted light was necessary to account for the rol e of the probe
laser’s spectrum.

1 Introduction
During the past two years, we have been theoretically and exp erimentally in-
vestigating coherent backscattering (CBS) of near-resona nt light in a sample
of cold rubidium atoms [1, 2, 3]. CBS is an interference effect in the multiple
scattering regime of propagation inside random media, yiel ding an enhance-
ment of the backscattered light intensity [4]. This interfe rence is very robust
and can be destroyed only by a few mechanisms, including Fara day rotation [5]
and dynamical effects [6]. In the particular case of atomic sc atterers, we have
shown that the existence of an internal Zeeman structure sig nificantly degrades
the CBS interference [1, 3]. The breakdown of CBS due to the Fa raday effect
in classical samples has been recently observed and studied in details [7], in a
situation where the scatterers are embedded in a Faraday-ac tive matrix. We
are currently exploring the behavior of CBS when a magnetic fi eld is applied to
the cold atomic cloud. Since the Faraday effect is expected to be large even at
weak applied fields (of the order of 1 G= 10−4T), it seems relevant to evaluate
its magnitude in the particular regime of near-resonant exc itation.
The Faraday effect, i.e. the rotation of polarization experi enced by light
propagating inside a medium along an applied magnetic field, is a well-known
phenomenon [8]. Faraday glass-based optical insulators ar e widely used in laser
experiments to avoid unwanted optical feedback. Due to the p resence of well-
defined lines (strong resonances), the Faraday effect is pote ntially strong in
1atomic systems, and has been extensively studied in hot vapo rs [9]. In addition,
light can modify the atomic gas as it propagates and induce al ignment or ori-
entation via optical pumping, yielding various non-linear effects [10]. However,
our experiment is quite insensitive to these effects and the s cope of this paper
will only be the linear, ”standard” Faraday rotation. Even t hough laser-cooled
atomic vapors appear interesting due to suppression of Dopp ler broadening and
collisions, few experiments on cold atoms are, to our knowle dge, reported in the
litterature [11].
In Section 2 we expose a simple formalism to understand the ma in character-
istics of optical activity in an atomic system. This model, a dapted to the atomic
structure of Rb, will be used in the quantitative analysis of the experimental
results. We also briefly recall in this Section the principle s of the Stokes analysis
of a polarization state. The experimental setup and procedu re are described in
Section 3. The results are presented in Section 4, and compar ed to the model.
2 Faraday effect and dichroism
Let us consider a gas of two-level atoms excited by a near-res onant monochro-
matic light field of frequency ν. The induced electric dipole has a component
in phase with the excitation, which corresponds to the real p art of the succep-
tibility of the atomic medium (with a dispersive behavior), and a component
in quadrature, which corresponds to the imaginary part of th e succeptibility
(absorptive behavior). The former thus relates to the refra ctive index of the
gas, while the later corresponds to the absorption or scatte ring. At low light
intensity I≪Isat(where Isat=1.6 mW/cm2is the saturation intensity for
Rubidium), the refractive index nof a dilute gas is given by :
n(δ)≃1−ρ6π
k3δ/Γ
1 + 4 ( δ/Γ)2(1)
where ρis the atomic gas density, k = 2 π/λthe light wave number in vacuum,
δ=ω−ωatthe light detuning, and Γ the natural width (Γ /2π= 5.9 MHz
for Rb). On the other hand, the imaginary part of the succepti bility yields the
atomic scattering cross-section σ:
σ(δ) =3λ2
2π1
1 + 4 ( δ/Γ)2(2)
with the usual Lorentzian line shape. This term will result i n an attenuation
exp(−ρσL) of the incident light as it propagates over a distance Linside the
medium ; the quantity b=ρσLis the optical thickness of the atomic sample.
We thus see that the wave will experience both a phase shift an d an attenuation
as it propagates.
Let us now consider a J = 0 →J’= 1 transition excited by a linearly po-
larized light field. A magnetic field Bis applied along the wavector k, whose
2direction is taken as the quantization axis. The magnetic fie ld displaces the
resonance frequencies of the excited state Zeeman sublevel s of magnetic number
me=±1 by an amount meµB, where µ= 1.4 Mhz/G. The incident linearly-
polarized light decomposes as the sum of σ+andσ−waves of equal amplitudes,
which couple the unshifted ground state to excited state sub levels of magnetic
number ±1 respectively. These waves thus propagate in media with diff erent
refractive indices n+andn−and scattering cross-sections σ+andσ−, and expe-
rience different phase shifts and attenuations. If, in a first step, we neglect the
absorption term, the two transmitted waves recombine in a li nearly-polarized
wave, rotated by an angle θ=1
2(ϕ+−ϕ−) =π
λ(n+−n−)L. This is the Fara-
day rotation angle. At small magnetic field µB/Γ≪1, the rotation angle is
simply : θ≈b×µB/(Γ/2π). Thus, at small B, the Faraday angle is simply
the optical thickness btimes the Zeeman shift expressed in units of the nat-
ural width Γ (however, the proportionality between θandbremains valid for
arbitrary magnetic field). It should be emphasized that, in a tomic vapors, the
Faraday effect is very strong compared to that of standard Far aday materials
(like Faraday glasses), due to the high sensitivity of atomi c energy levels to
magnetic field : for a density ρ=1010cm−3, the Verdet constant is 40◦/G/mm
(4×105◦/T/mm ), more than four orders of magnitude above that of typical
Faraday glasses. However, for cold atomic gases, the linear increase of rotation
angle with magnetic field is restricted to a small field range o f a few Gauss (the
Zeeman splitting must remain smaller than the natural width ), above which the
Faraday effect decreases.
Of course, in the regime of near-resonant excitation we are d ealing with,
one usually can not neglect absorption. The different attenu ations for the σ+
andσ−components cause a deformation of the transmitted polariza tion as well
as rotation. The polarization thus becomes elliptic with an ellipticity (ratio
of small to large axis) determined by the differential absorp tion between σ+
andσ−light. This effect is known as circular dichroism. The angle θis then
the angle between the initial polarization and the large axi s of the transmitted
ellipse. We will see how the Stokes analysis allows to extrac tθand the ellipticity
from the measurements.
Although the simple picture developed above gives access to the main mech-
anisms of optical activity in a an atomic gas, it does not accu rately describe
the F = 3 →F’= 4 transition of the D2 line of Rb85used in this experiment.
To expand the description to the case of a ground state Zeeman structure, we
will make the simplifying assumption that all the transitio ns between differ-
ent ground state Zeeman sublevels are independent. We thus n eglect optical
pumping and coherences. The refractive index for, say, σ+light, then writes as
n+(δ, B) =3/summationtext
m=−3pmc+2
mn+
m(δ, B), where the p mare the ground state sublevels
populations, the c+
mthe Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the various σ+transi-
tions, and the n+
m(δ, B) the refractive indices for the Zeeman-shifted transition s
(a transition from a ground state of magnetic number mgto an excited state
meis frequency-shifted by ( mege−mggg)µB, where ge= 1/2 and gg= 1/3
3are the Land´ e factors for the F = 3 →F’= 4 transition of the D2 line of Rb85).
We can express in the same way the total scattering cross-sec tion for each cir-
cular polarization. In the absence of magnetic field and assu ming a uniform
population distribution among the ground state sublevels, the total scattering
cross-section on resonance is σ(δ= 0)≃0.43×3λ2/2π, the 0.43 prefactor being
the average of the squared Clebsch-Gordan coefficient (or the degeneracy factor
of the transition1
3(2F’+1)
(2F+1)).
As discussed above, the polarization of the transmitted lig ht can differ from
the incident linear polarization. It is thus necessary to fu lly characterize the
polarization state of the transmitted light. This can be don e using the Stokes
formalism [12]. Four quantities need to be measured : the (li near) component
of the transmitted light parallel to the incident polarizat ion (I//), the (linear)
orthogonal component ( I⊥), the (linear) component at 45◦(I45◦), and one of the
two circular components ( Icirc). The sum of the first two is the total intensity
s0; the three other Stokes parameters are : s1=I//−I⊥= 2I//−s0,s2=
2I45◦−s0ands3= 2Icirc−s0. One can then compute the three quantities
which characterize any polarization state :

Here, Pis the degree of polarization of the light, i.e. the ratio of t he intensities
of the polarized component to the unpolarized one (a pure pol arization state
yields P= 1 while P= 0 corresponds to totally unpolarized light). Even
though we would not a priori expect any unpolarized component, we will see
that this analysis is indeed necessary in our case. The quant itye= tan ( χ) is
the ellipticity of the polarized component ( e=±a/b, where aandbare the
small and large axis of the ellipse respectively and the + or - sign denotes the
sense of rotation of the electric field). The Faraday angle θis the angle between

3.1 Preparation of cold atoms
The experimental setup, essentially the same as in our coher ent backscattering
experiment, is described in detail elsewhere [2]. A magneto -optical trap (MOT)
is loaded from a dilute Rb85vapor (P ∼10−8mbar) using six laser beams (di-
ameter 2.8 cm, power 30 mW), two-by-two counter-propagatin g and tuned to
the red of the F= 3 →F’= 4 of the Rb85D2 line (wavelength λ= 780 nm). The
4applied magnetic field gradient is typically 10 G/cm. During the experiment,
the MOT (trapping beams, repumper, and magnetic field gradie nt) is continu-
ously turned on and off . The ”dark” period is short enough (8 ms ) so that the
cold atoms do not leave the capture volume and are recaptured during the next
”bright” period (duration 20 ms).
To characterize the cold atomic cloud, we measure its optica l thickness as
described in the next subsection. The shape and size of the cl oud is recorded in
3D using fluorescence imaging, by illuminating the sample wi th a laser beam de-
tuned by several Γ. We use a time-of-flight technique to measu re the atom’s rms
velocity, typically 10 cm/s. The atomic cloud contains typi cally 3 ×109atoms
with a quasi-gaussian spatial distribution ∼5 mm FWHM (on average, the
cloud being usually slightly cigar-shaped), yielding a pea k density of ∼1010
cm−3.
3.2 Optical thickness and transmitted polarization mea-
surements
The laser probe used for transmission measurements lies in t he horizontal plane
containing 4 of the trapping beams, at an angle of 25◦. It is produced by a 50
mW SDL diode laser injected by a Yokogawa DBR diode laser, who se linewidth
is 2-3 MHz FWHM as estimated from the beatnote between 2 ident ical diodes.
This laser is passed through a Fabry-Perot cavity (transmis sion peak FWHM 10
MHz) before being sent through the atomic cloud. Although th is filtering does
not significantly reduce the linewidth of the laser, it stron gly suppresses the spec-
tral components in the wings of the initial lineshape which l imit the accuracy
of the transmission measurement. The frequency of the probe can be scanned
in a controlled way by ±50 MHz around the 3 →4 transition of the D2 line.
The probe beam diameter is 1-2 mm, and its polarization is lin ear (vertical).
The power in the probe is typically 0.1 µW, yielding a saturation parameter s
= 2×10−3. It is turned on for 2 ms (yielding a maximum of about 80 photon s
exchanged per atoms), typically 5 ms after the MOT is switche d off. The trans-
mitted beam is detected by a photodiode after a rough spatial mode selection
by two diaphragms of diameter 3 mm, distant of 1 m. The optical thickness
measurement is performed without applied magnetic field. As we emphasized
in [2], simply measuring the on-resonance transmission yie lds a strongly biased
estimate for the optical thickness b, due to the off-resonant components in the
probe laser’s spectrum. To overcome this problem, one solut ion is to scan the
laser detuning δand record the transmission line shape. We describe this cur ve
as the convolution product of the transmission line for a pur ely monochromatic
laser T( δ) = exp ( −b(δ)) with the laser line shape. If the later is known, one
can extract the optical thickness from the transmission dat a (for instance from
the FWHM of the transmission curve). This method is quite acc urate for large
values of b, where the width of the transmission curve is only weakly dep endent
on the laser’s linewidth. For small values of b, measuring the transmission at
δ= 0 is more accurate but still requires some knowledge of the p robe laser’s
spectrum. When working with dense atomic clouds at non-zero detuning, one
5should also keep in mind the possible influence of ”lensing” e ffect (focussing or
deflection of the transmitted beam), due to the spatially-in homogeneous refrac-
tive index of the sample. In our case, the rather large cloud s ize (∼5 mm) and
moderate density ( ∼1010cm−3) yield a large focal length of about 25 m for the
cloud, and a small (but still measurable) lensing effect.
Using the measured size of the cloud and assuming a uniform po pulation
distribution in the ground state, we can then obtain the peak atomic density and
the number of atoms in the sample. The maximal optical thickn ess measured
in our trap is b= 24 (yielding a FWHM for the transmission curve ∆ δ∼6Γ).
As mentioned in Section 2, the Stokes analysis relies on four transmission
measurements. To perform the polarization measurement, we insert a polarime-
ter in the path of the transmitted beam, as shown in fig.1. It co nsists of a
quarter-wave plate (only used for the circular component), a half-wave plate
and a glan prism polarizer (fixed). The rejection factor of th e polarizer is
∼10−3. The four transmission signals ( I//,I⊥,I45◦andIcirc) are recorded
as a function of the laser detuning. The degree of polarizati on, ellipticity and
rotation angle can then be computed using expressions (3), ( 4), and (5).
4 Results and discussion
4.1 Role of detuning
Fig.2 shows a typical example of the raw signals obtained in t he four polarization
channels necessary for the Stokes analysis detailed in Sec. 2. The transmitted
intensity is recorded as a function of the detuning (express ed in units of Γ) in the
parallel ( A), orthogonal ( B), 45◦(C) and circular ( D) polarization channels.
All curves have been scaled by the incident intensity. These data were obtained
for a sample of optical thickness b= 4.6 and an applied magnetic field B= 3G.
We see on curve ( B) that more than 10% of the incident light is transferred
to the orthogonal channel. On curves ( C) and ( D), the off-resonant detected
intensities are close to 0.5, since the incident linear pola rization projection on
each of these channels is 1/2. The transmission curve ( D), which corresponds
to the σ+component, presents a minimum shifted towards positive det unings
by the Zeeman effect ; the position of the minimum corresponds roughly to
the splitting of the mg= +3→me= +4 transition (1.4 MHz/G), which
has a maximum Clebsch-Gordan coefficient of 1. Curves ( B) and ( C) exhibit
noticeable asymmetries, which we will discuss later.
From the data of fig.2, we computed the three curves P(δ) (A),e(δ) (B) and
θ(δ) (C) characterizing the polarization state of the transmitted light (fig.3).
We note on the curve ( A)of fig.3 that the degree of polarization Pis not always
equal to unity, and can be substantially smaller depending o n the parameters.
This unexpected observation is due to the finite linewidth of our probe beam
: light components at different frequencies, initially all l inearly polarized, ex-
perience different rotations and deformations while passin g through the cloud.
Because these components have different frequencies, the re sult of their recom-
6bination, when integrated over a time long compared to their beatnote time, is
a loss of polarization (for example, two orthogonal linearl y-polarized waves of
different frequencies and same intensity yield a totally unp olarized light P= 0).
The result of the recombination of all the spectral componen ts is not straight-
forward to predict, since each frequency is transmitted wit h a different intensity,
ellipticity and rotation angle. However, if we assume that a ll the spectral com-
ponents are mutually incoherent, the total intensity detec ted in each channel is
the sum of the intensities corresponding to all the spectral components. Thus,
in order to compare the experimental data with the model, we c onvolute the
transmission curves I//(δ), I⊥(δ),I45◦(δ) and Icirc(δ), as calculated with the
model of Sec.2, with the power spectrum of the probe laser. We can then com-
pute the curves P(δ),e(δ) and θ(δ) using expressions (3), (4), and (5). We
stress that the influence of the laser’s linewidth is quite st rong : even for a
(lorentzian) linewidth of a tenth of the natural width, for a n optical thickness
b= 5 and a magnetic field B= 1G, the loss of polarization is already 32%
(P= 0.68). This phenomenon also affects the estimates for the ellip ticity and
the rotation angle, since these quantities reflect mainly th e polarization state
of the dominant transmitted spectral component. Indeed, if one again consid-
ers the example of the superposition of two waves of different frequencies and
polarizations (pure states), the results of the Stokes anal ysis will vary continu-
ously from one polarization state to the other depending on t he intensity ratio
of the two waves. In the intermediate regime of comparable in tensities, the
Stokes analysis will not describe adequately any of the two p olarizations. It
should be noted that this situation differs from the case wher e the studied light
consist of a polarized component plus a depolarized one [12] ; in this case, the
Stokes analysis provides the ”correct” result (that is, the ellipticity and angle
of the polarized component), even for arbitrarily small pro portion of polarized
light. We experimentally tested the influence of a polychrom atic excitation by
superimposing to the normal probe beam a weaker one, obtaine d from the same
laser but detuned by 80 MHz with an acousto-optic modulator. The calcu-
lated degradation of P(δ),e(δ) and θ(δ) account well for the experimentally
observed behavior.
Fig.3 ( B)shows how the ellipticity eof the polarized component of the
transmitted light varies with laser detuning. For δ >0, it is mainly the σ+
component of the incident light which is absorbed, yielding a mostly σ−trans-
mitted polarization (negative ellipticity). On resonance (δ= 0) both compo-
nents are absorbed in the same proportion, an the transmitte d polarization is
linear ( e= 0). Since the ellipticity depends on the differential absor ption be-
tween circular components, it is a direct measurement of the dichroism in the
sample. The curve on fig.3 ( C)is the Faraday rotation angle computed from ex-
pression (5). The on-resonance rotation in this case is abou t 40◦. The solid lines
in fig.3 are obtained with our model using the convolution pro cedure discussed
above ; the probe light spectrum is described by the product o f a lorentzian
laser lineshape (FWHM = 3 MHz) by a lorentzian Fabry-Perot tr ansmission
(FWHM =10 MHz). We account for the observed asymmetry in the e xperi-
mental curves by introducing a linear variation in the popul ations of the ground
7state sublevels (i.e. a partial orientation of the sample), with maximum vari-
ation±20% between extreme magnetic numbers mg=±3.We have checked
some other possible mechanisms for this asymmetry, such as t he proximity of
the F= 3 →F’= 3 transition (121 MHz to the red) or optical pumping, but
both effects seem to play a small role. The fact that we were als o able to in-
vert the asymmetry by varying the orientation of the magneti c field produced
by the compensation coils also favors the hypothesis of a par tial orientation
of the medium. We actually do see some optical pumping effects , manifested
by variations of the measured transmission signals with tim e during the probe
pulse (duration 2 ms). The overall effect of optical pumping i s to increase the
Faraday rotation as the number of exchanged photons (i.e. ti me) increases, i.e.
the measured rotation immediatly after turning on the probe is smaller than
after 2 ms of presence of the light (by about 6%).
The comparison of fig.3 between experiment and theory shows t hat, despite
some discrepancies due to our rather vague knowledge of the p robe lineshape
and to the simplicity of our model, the overall agreement is q uite satisfying.
4.2 Role of magnetic field
To determine the Verdet constant, it is necessary to measure the Faraday an-
gle as a function of the magnetic field. Fig.4 shows such curve s obtained for
two different optical thicknesses : b= 0.75 (solid circles) and b= 9 (open cir-
cles). For each curve, the on-resonance Faraday angle θis scaled by the optical
thickness of the cloud, since one expects the rotation to be p roportional to the
optical thickness (thus, all experimental data should lie o n the same ”universal”
curve). The solid line is the prediction of the model with a in finitely narrow
probe laser. Its slope around B= 0 is about 10◦/G, yielding a Verdet constant
V= 20◦/G/mm for an optical thickness b= 10 and a sample diameter of 5
mm. The dashed curve represents the small optical thickness limit when the
laser linewidth is taken into account, which lowers the slop e at around 6◦/G.
Both curves exhibit the expected dispersive shape, with a li near increase of
the Faraday angle at small magnetic field values (where the Ve rdet constant
is defined), and then a decreasing rotation when the splittin g between the σ+
andσ−transitions becomes larger than the natural width. The expe rimental
curve for small optical thickness is quite close to the model prediction (dashed
line). For larger values of the optical thickness, the measu rements depart from
this ideal situation due to the finite linewidth of the laser : the curve for b= 9
presents a smaller slope around B= 0 and the scaled rotation is globally re-
duced. As the optical thickness is further increased, the tr ansmitted light be-
comes increasingly dominated by off-resonant components of the laser spectrum
and the information about the central (resonant) frequency is lost. This process
is further illustrated in the following subsection.
84.3 Role of optical thickness
In the ideal case of a monochromatic laser, one expects the Fa raday rotation to
increase linearly with optical thickness. We thus recorded the rotation at δ= 0
and a fixed value of B, as a function of the optical thickness which was varied by
detuning the trapping laser. The result of such an experimen t is shown in fig.5.
The open circles correspond to an applied magnetic field B= 2 G, while the solid
circles are for B= 8 G. The solid line is the expected evolution for B= 8 G and
a monochromatic laser; the dashed line is the prediction of t he same model for
B= 2 G. We see that, for the higher value of B, the expected linear behavior is
indeed obtained, yielding a slope of about 8◦/G. The (absolute) rotation angle
increases up to ∼150◦. However, the evolution observed at smaller magnetic
field (B= 2 G, circles) is quite different, where the data quickly depa rt from the
linear evolution even at low optical thickness and suddenly drop towards positive
values of the angle at large optical thickness. Qualitative ly, this reflects the fact
that, at small applied field and large optical thickness, the central (resonant)
frequency of the probe laser is strongly attenuated and can b ecome smaller
than other (off-resonant) spectral components. The measure d rotation angle
then passes continuously from the angle of the central frequ ency component to
that of the dominant detuned component (in the wings of the ab sorption line),
which can be negative (see fig.3 ( C)). The large dispersion of the data for B= 2
G above b∼12 is due to the important relative error in this low transmis sion
regime. At larger Bfield, the on-resonance transmission increases due to the
Zeeman splitting, and the central frequency component rema ins dominant for
larger values of the optical thickness (for instance, the to tal transmission at
b= 20 is around 0.1 for B= 8 G, while it is only 3 ×10−3forB= 2 G).
Thus, the simple model of Section 2 provides us with a good des cription for
the various behaviors observed experimentally. A fair quan titative agreement is
obtained for moderate optical thickness or high magnetic fie ld. The model is also
helpful to understand the important role played by the lines hape of the probe
laser in this experimental situation of optically-thick sa mple and resonant light.
The experimental data confirm the occurrence of large Farada y effect inside our
atomic cloud, with a Verdet constant in the range of 20◦/G/mm for a typical
optical thickness of 10.
5 Conclusion
We have reported in this paper the measurement of large Farad ay effect in an
optically-thick sample of cold rubidium atoms. Due to near- resonant excitation,
we need to take into account both Faraday rotation (different ial refractive in-
dex) and dichroism (differential absorption) to analyze the experimental data.
Using a very simple model for our F = 3 →F’= 4 transition, we obtain a good
agreement with the experimental data. We measure large Verd et constant of
the order of 20◦/G/mm . We have shown that the finite width of the laser spec-
trum plays a crucial role in the signals obtained for an optic ally-thick sample.
9A complete analysis of the transmitted light polarization s tate is then necessary
to correctly interpret the data.
The determination of the Verdet constant Vin the cloud is an important step
in our current study of the effect of an applied magnetic field o n the coherent
backscattering of light by the cold atoms. For Faraday effect to seriously affect
the CBS cone, one needs the phase difference between time-rev ersed waves,
accumulated on a distance of the order of the light mean-free pathl, to be of
the order of π(i.e. a rotation of π/2 for a linear polarization). This corresponds
to a situation where V Bl∼1 [7]. However, the main difference between the
situation of ref.[7] (scatterers in a Faraday-active matri x) and our atomic cloud
situation is that, in our case, the Verdet constant is determ ined by the density
of scatterers ρ(Vproportional to ρ), which in turn fixes the mean-free path
(lproportional to1 /ρ). Thus, there is a maximum rotation per mean-free path
length scale , which is about 13◦(forB= 3 G) according to the curve of fig.4
(solid line). It seems to us interesting to study this unusua l situation. Our aim
is also to understand how the Faraday effect combines to the ot her effects due
to the atom’s internal structure to determine the CBS enhanc ement factor in
the presence of an external magnetic field.

saturates and then decreases. Indeed, as optical thickness increases, the mea-
sured rotation becomes increasingly affected by other spect ral components of
the laser, until these off-resonant frequencies become domi nant causing a sharp
drop of the angle. At large Bthe central, resonant frequency component of the
laser is always dominant in the optical thickness range inve stigated, and the
linear behavior is recovered.

We study both experimentally and theoretically the losses
induced by parametric excitation in far–off–resonance opti cal
lattices. The atoms confined in a 1D sinusoidal lattice prese nt
an excitation spectrum and dynamics substantially differen t
from those expected for a harmonic potential. We develop a
model based on the actual atomic Hamiltonian in the lattice
and we introduce semiempirically a broadening of the width
of lattice energy bands which can physically arise from in-
homogeneities and fluctuations of the lattice, and also from
atomic collisions. The position and strength of the paramet ric
resonances and the evolution of the number of trapped atoms
are satisfactorily described by our model.

I. INTRODUCTION
The phenomenon of parametric excitation of the mo-
tion of cold trapped atoms has recently been the sub-
ject of several theoretical and experimental investigatio ns
[1–3]. The excitation caused by resonant amplitude noise
has been proposed as one of the major sources of heating
in far–off–resonance optical traps (FORTs), where the
heating due to spontaneous scattering forces is strongly
reduced [4]. In particular, the effect of resonant excita-
tion is expected to be particularly important in optical
lattices, which usually provide a very strong confinement
to the atoms, resulting in a large vibrational frequency
and in a correspondingly large transfer of energy from
the noise field to the atoms [1].
Nevertheless, parametric excitation is not only a source
of heating, but it also represents a very useful tool to
characterize the spring constant of a FORT or in general
of a trap for cold particles, and to study the dynamics of
the trapped gas. Indeed, the trap frequencies can be mea-
sured by intentionally exciting the trap vibrational modes
with a small modulation of the amplitude of the trap-
ping potential, which results in heating [5] or losses [2,6]
for the trapped atoms when the modulation frequency
is tuned to twice the oscillation frequency. This proce-
dure usually yields frequencies that satisfactorily agree
with calculated values, and are indeed expected to be
accurate for the atoms at the bottom of the trapping po-
tential. From the measured trap frequencies is then pos-
sible to estimate quantities such as the trap depth and
the number and phase space densities of trapped atoms.We note that this kind of measurement is particularly
important in optical lattices, since the spatial resolutio n
of standard imaging techniques is usually not enough to
estimate the atomic density from a measurement of the
volume of a single lattice site.
Recently, 1D lattices have proved to be the proper envi-
ronment to study collisional processes in large and dense
samples of cold atoms, using a trapping potential inde-
pendent for the magnetic state of the atoms. In this
systems, the parametric excitation of the energetic vi-
brational mode along the lattice provides an efficient way
to investigate the cross-dimensional rethermalization dy -
namics mediated by elastic collisions [7,6].
Most theoretical studies of parametric excitation rely
on a classical [8] or quantum [1] harmonic approximation
of the confining potential. Under certain circumstances
these expressions show quite good agreement with exper-
imental results [3]. However, general features of the opti-
cal lattice could be lost in these approaches. For example,
a sinusoidal potential exhibits an energy band structure
and a spread of transition energies, while harmonic oscil-
lators have just a discrete equidistant spectrum. Thus,
we might expect that the excitation process may happen
at several frequencies, and with a non-negligible band-
width. Such anharmonic effects can be important when-
ever the atoms are occupying a relatively large fraction
of the lattice energy levels. The purpose of this paper is
to give a simple description of parametric excitation in
a sinusoidal 1D lattice. In the next Section, we briefly
discuss general features of the stationary states on such
a lattice. Then, we summarize the harmonic description
given in Ref. [1] and extend it to the anharmonic case.
By a numerical evaluation of transition rates, we make
a temporal description of parametric excitation which is
compared with experimental results. We discuss about
the relevance of broadening of the spectral lines to un-
derstand the excitation process in this kind of systems.
Some conclusions are given in the last Section.

It is well known that there exists countably infinite sets
of characteristic values {ar}and{br}which respectively
yield even and odd periodic solutions of Mathieu equa-
tion. These values also separate regions of stability. In
particular, for q≥0 the band structure of the sinusoidal
lattice corresponds to energy eigenvalues between arand
br+1[11]. The unstable regions are between brandar.
Forq >> 1, there is an analytical expression for the band
width [11]:

Thus, the width of the r-band can be estimated using
Eq. (2.8) whenever the condition ( V0/¯hω0)2>>1 is sat-
isfied. In the experiment we shall be working with a 1D
optical lattice having V0∼10.5¯hω0. While the lowest
bandr= 0 has a negligible width ∼10−18¯hω0, the band
widths for highest lying levels r= 10,11,12,and 13 would
respectively be 0 .0065 ,0 .1036, 1 .52, and 20 .56 in units of
¯hω0.In order to determine the energy spectrum, a varia-
tional calculation can be performed. We considered a
harmonic oscillator basis set centered in a given site of
the lattice, and with frequency ω0. The diagonalization
of the Hamiltonian matrix associated to (2.4) using 40
basis functions gives the eigenvalues En< V0shown in
Table I for V0= 10.5¯hω0. According to the results of last
paragraph, the eigenvalues 12 and 13 belong to the same
band while the band width for lower levels is smaller than
0.11¯hω0
III. PARAMETRIC EXCITATION

trapped atoms consists in applying a small modulation
to the intensity of the trapping light,

∝an}bracketle{t˙E∝an}bracketri}ht=π
2ω2
0S(2ω0)∝an}bracketle{tE∝an}bracketri}ht, (3.7)
showing its exponential character. The dependence on
2ω0is characteristic of the parametric nature of the exci-
tation process. The fact that ¯ his not present is consistent
with the applicability of Eq. (3.7) in the classical regime.
2Classically, parametric harmonic oscillators exhibit
resonances not just at 2 ω0but also at 2 ω0/nwithnany
natural number [8]. In fact, the resonances corresponding
ton=2,i.e.at an excitation frequency ω0, have been ob-
served in optical lattices [2,6]. A quantum description of
parametric harmonic excitation also predicts resonances
at the same frequencies via n-th order perturbation the-
ory [10]. In particular, the presence of the resonance at
ω0can be justified with the following argument. Accord-
ing to the standard procedure, the second order correc-
tion to the transition amplitude between states |n∝an}bracketri}htand
|m∝an}bracketri}htis given by

withU(2)(t0, t) the second order correction to the evo-
lution operatorU. Therefore, the transition may be de-
scribed as a two step procedure |m∝an}bracketri}ht←|k∝an}bracketri}ht←|n∝an}bracketri}ht. For
harmonic parametric excitation the matrix element of the
space part of the perturbation differs from zero just for
transitions|n∝an}bracketri}ht←|n∝an}bracketri}htand|n±2∝an}bracketri}ht←|n∝an}bracketri}ht. Consider a tran-
sition in Eq. (3.8) involving a ”first” step in which the
state does not change |n∝an}bracketri}ht←|n∝an}bracketri}htand a ”second” step for
which|n±2∝an}bracketri}ht←|n∝an}bracketri}ht. Then resonance phenomena occur
when the total energy of the two excitations, 2¯ hΩ, coin-
cides with that of the second step transition, i. e.for an
excitation frequency Ω = ωo.
These ideas can be directly extended to anharmonic
potentials: the corresponding transition probability rat es
R(n, m) would be determined by the transition matrix
T(n, m), by the transition frequencies ωnmand by the
time dependence of the excitation ǫ(t). In general, an-
harmonic transition matrix elements T(n, m) will be dif-
ferent from zero for a wider set of pairs ( n, m). Besides,
the transition energies will not be unique so that the exci-
tation process is notdetermined by the excitation power
spectrum at a single given frequency 2 ω0and its sub-
harmonics 2 ωo/n. As an example the transition energies
for the specific potential considered in this work are re-
ported in Table I. Therefore, within the model Hamilto-
nian of Eq. (3.1), resonance effects can occur for several
frequencies that may alter the shape of the population
distribution within the trap. However, in general these
resonant excitations will not be associated with the es-
cape of trapped atoms.
Here we are interested in a 1D lattice; the direct ex-
tension of the formalism mentioned above requires the
evaluation of the matrix elements T(n, m) among the
different Mathieu states that conform a band. This in-
volves integrals which, to our knowledge, lack an ana-
lytical expression and require numerical evaluation. As
an alternative, we consider functions which variationally
approximate the Mathieu functions. They are the eigen-
states of the Hamiltonian (2.4) in a harmonic basis set of
frequency ω0:|n∝an}bracketri}ht=imax/summationdisplay
i=1cni|i∝an}bracketri}htω0, (3.9)
These states are ordered according to their energy: En≤

It is recognized that any discrete basis set approxima-
tion to a system with a band spectrum will lack fea-
tures of the original problem which have to be care-
fully analyzed. Anyway, alternatives to a discrete ba-
sis approach may be cumbersome and not necessarily
yield a better approach to understand general proper-
ties of experimental data. While the discrete basis ap-
proach is exact for transitions between the lowest levels,
which have a negligible width, eigenstates belonging to
a band of measurably width should be treated with spe-
cial care. Thus, we shall assume that matrix elements
T(ν, µ) involving states with energies EνandEµ, so that
En−(En−En−1)/2≤Eν≤En+ (En+1−En)/2 with
an analogous expressions for Eµ, are well approximated
byT(n, m).

Now, according to Eqs. (3.2) and Eq (3.8), the evalua-
tion of R(r)

tral density S(ω). In the problem under consideration,
the discrete labels m, nare used to calculate interband
transitions which are actually spectrally broad. This
broadening might arise not only from the band structure
of the energy spectra associated with the Hamiltonian
Eq. (2.4), but also from other sources, which we will dis-
cuss below. Broad spectral lines can be introduced in our
3formalism by defining an effective spectral density Seff(ω)
which should incorporate essential features of this broad-
ening without simulating specific features. Having this in
mind, an effective Gaussian density of states Sn(ω) is as-

quency that once integrated over all frequencies yields the
square of the intensity of the modulation source. The net
result is that Seff(ωnm) has the form

IV. COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENTAL
RESULTS.
We have tested the procedure described in last section
to model parametric excitation in a specific experiment
conducted at LENS. In this experiment40K fermionic
atoms are trapped in a 1D lattice, realized retroreflect-
ing linearly polarized light obtained from a single–mode
Ti:Sa laser at λ=787nm, detuned on the red of both
the D 1and D 2transition of potassium, respectively at
769.9nm, and 766.7nm. The laser radiation propagates
along the vertical direction, to provide a strong confine-
ment against gravity. The laser beam is weakly focused
within a two-lens telescope to a waist size w0≃90µm,
with a Rayleigh length zR=3cm; the effective running
power at the waist position is P=350mW.
The trap is loaded from a magneto-optical trap
(MOT), thanks to a compression procedure already de-
scribed in [6], with about 5 ×105atoms at a density
around 1011cm−3. The typical vertical extension of the
trapped atomic cloud, as detected with a CCD camera
(see Fig. 1), is 500 µm, corresponding to about 1200 oc-
cupied lattice sites with an average of 400 atoms in each
site. Since the axial extension of the atomic cloud is much
smaller than zR, we can approximate the trap potential
to
V(r, z) =V0e−2r2
w2
0cos2(kz);k= 2π/λ, (4.1)thus neglecting a 5% variation of V0along the lattice.
The atomic temperature in the lattice direction is mea-
sured with a time–of–flight technique and it is about
50µK.
In order to parametrically excite the atoms we modu-
late the intensity of the confining laser with a fast AOM
for a time interval T ≃100ms, with a sine of amplitude
ǫ=3% and frequency Ω. The variation of the number
of trapped atoms is measured by illuminating the atoms
with the MOT beams and collecting the resulting fluo-
rescence on a photomultiplier. In Fig.2 the fraction of
atoms left in the trap after the parametric excitation is
reported vsthe modulation frequency Ω /2π. Three res-
onances in the trap losses are clearly seen at modulation
frequencies 340kHz, 670kHz and 1280kHz. By identify-
ing the first two resonances with the lattice vibrational
frequency and its first harmonic, respectively, we get as
first estimate ω0≃2π×340 kHz. As we will show in the
following, these resonance are actually on the redofω0
and 2ω0, respectively, and therefore a better estimate is
ω0≃2π×360 kHz. Therefore the effective trap depth is,
from Eq. (9), V0≃185µK≃10.5 ¯hω0. Since the atomic
temperature is about V0/3.5, we expect that most of the
energy levels of the lattice have a nonnegligible popu-
lation and therefore the anharmonicity of the potential
could play an important role in the dynamics of paramet-
ric excitation. Note that the third resonance at high fre-
quency, close to 4 ω0, is not predicted from the harmonic
theory. It is possible to observe also a much weaker reso-
nance in the trap losses around 1.5kHz, which we inter-
pret to be twice the oscillation frequency in the loosely
confined radial direction. Anyway, in the following we
will focus our attention just on the axial resonances.
As discussed in the previous Section, the overall width
of the excitation assumed for our model system could
play an important role in reproducing essential features
of experimental data. Since the source used in the ex-
periment has a negligible line width, it is necessary to
model just the broadening of the atomic resonances. The
spread of the transition energies due to the axial anhar-
monicity is reported in Table I, while the broadening of
each energy level, due to the periodic character of the
sine potential, is estimated using Eq. (2.8). We now note
that the 1D motion assumed in Section II is not com-
pletely valid in our case, since the atoms move radially
along a Gaussian potential. Since the period of the radial
motion is about 500 times longer than the axial period,
the atoms see an effective axial frequency which varies
with their radial position, resulting in a broadening of
the transition frequency. Other sources of broadening
are fluctuations of the laser intensity and pointing, and
inhomogeneities along the lattice. We note that also elas-
tic collisions within the trapped sample, which tend to
keep a thermal distribution of the trap levels population,
can contribute to an overall broadening of the loss res-
onances. Since it is not easy to build a model which
involve all these sources, we introduce semiempirically
an effective broadening for the r-th level (see Eq. (3.14)).
4Recognizing that the width could be energy dependent
we considered the simple expression
σ2
r=λ1/parenleftbigEr
V0/parenrightbigp+λ0 (4.2)
for several values of the constants λ1, λ0andp. When
p= 0, i.e. for a constant value of the band width we
were not able to reproduce the general experimental be-
havior reported in Fig.2. The best agreement between
the simulation and the experimental observations is ob-
tained for λ0= 0.0002, λ1= 0.0135, in units of ω2
0,
andp= 3. Similar results are obtained also for slightly
higher (lower) values of λ0,1together with slightly higher
(lower) values of the power p. In Table I the resulting
widths are shown for the lower twelve levels. Note that
we have intentionally excluded levels 11, 12 and 13 from
the calculation, since their intrinsic width is so large tha t
the atoms can tunnel out of the trap along the lattice in
much less than 100ms [9]. Anyway, the inclusion of these
levels proved not to change substantially the result of the
simulation.
The comparison of experimental and theoretical results
is made in Fig. 3; the abscissa for the experimental data
has been normalized by identifying ω0with 2 π×360 kHz.
As already anticipated, the principal resonance in trap
losses appears at Ω ≃1.85ω0. This result follows from
the fact that the excitation of the lowest trap levels is
not resulting in a loss of atoms, as it would happen for a
harmonic potential. On the contrary, the most energetic
atoms, which have a vibrational frequency smaller than
the harmonic one, are easily excited out of the trap. The
asymmetry of the resonances, which has been observed
also in [2], is well reproduced in the calculations and it is a
further evidence of the spread of the vibrational frequen-
cies. The first interesting result obtained by our study
of parametric excitation is therefore the correction nec-
essary to extract the actual harmonic frequency from the
loss spectrum. For the specific conditions of the present
experiment, we find indeed that the principal resonance
in the trap losses appears at Ω ≃1.85ω0. Anyway, the
calculation shows that the resonance is nearby this po-
sition for all the explored values of λ0,1andpalso for
deeper traps, up to V0=25¯hω0, and therefore it appears
to be an invariant characteristic of the sinusoidal poten-
tial.
The result of the numerical integration of Eqs. (3.12)
reported in Fig.3 reproduces relatively well the subhar-
monic resonance, which in the harmonic case would be
expected at ω0. On the contrary, both experiment and
calculation show that the actual position of the resonance
is Ω≃0.9ω0. It must be mentioned that the accuracy of
these results is restricted by the finite difference charac-
ter of Eqs. (3.12) and by the fact that some noise sources
which have not been included could be resonant at a
nearby frequency. In particular, a possible modulation
of the laser pointing associated to the intensity modula-
tion is expected to be resonant at Ω = ω0in the harmonicproblem [1], and it could play an analogous role in our
sinusoidal lattice.
The higher order resonance around 3.5 ω0observed in
the experiment is also well reproduced by the calcula-
tions based on first order perturbation theory. Note that
a simpler approximation to the confining potential by a
quartic potential VQ(z) =k2z2+k4z4would yield a reso-
nance around 4 ω0and not 3 .5ω0. Anyway, it is possible
to understand qualitatively one of the features of this
resonance considering a quartic perturbation of the form
ǫ(t)VQto a harmonic potential. In this case the ratio of
the transition rates at the 2 ω0and 4ω0resonances is set
by Eqs.3.2 to
|T(n±2, n)|2/|T(n±4, n)|2∝V2
0
ω2
0. (4.3)
This result can qualitatively explain the absence of the
corresponding high order resonance in the radial excita-
tion spectrum (see Fig.2): since the radial trap frequency
is a factor 500 smaller than the axial one, the relative
strength of such radial anharmonic resonance is expected
to be suppressed by a factor (500)2. In conclusion, high
harmonics resonances, which certainly depend on the ac-
tual shape of the anharmonic potential, are expected to
appear only if the spring constant of the trap is large.
In Fig.4 theoretical and experimental results for the
evolution of the total population of trapped atoms at the
resonant exciting frequency Ω = 2 ω0are shown. Al-
though there is a satisfactory agreement between the
model and the experiment, we notice that experimental
data exhibit a different rate for the loss of atoms be-
fore and after 100ms. This change is probably due to a
variation of the collision rate as the number of trapped
atoms is modified, which cannot be easily included in the
model. The comparison of the experimental evolution of
the trap population with and without modulation shows
the effectiveness of the excitation process in emptying the
trap on a short time-scale.
We have also simulated the energy growth of the
trapped atoms due to the parametric excitation, which
is reported in Fig. 5. Our calculations show nonexponen-
tial energy increase in contrast with what expected in
the harmonic approximation, Eq. (3.7). The fast energy
growth at short times is related to the depopulation of
the lowest levels, which are resonant with the 2 ω0para-
metric source. The saturation effect observed for longer
times is due to the fact that the resonance condition is
not satisfied for the upper levels so that they do not de-
populate easily.
V. CONCLUSIONS.
We have studied both theoretically and experimentally
the time evolution of the population of atoms trapped in
a 1D sinusoidal optical lattice, following a parametric
excitation of the lattice vibrational mode. In detail, we
5have presented a theoretical model for the excitation in
an anharmonic potential, which represents an extension
of the previous harmonic models, and we have applied
it to the actual sinusoidal potential used to trap cold
potassium atoms. The simulation seems to reproduce
relatively well the main features of both the spectrum
of trap losses, including the appearance of resonances
beyond 2 ω0, and the time evolution of the total number
of trapped atoms.
By comparing the theoretical predictions and the ex-
perimental observations the usefulness of a parametric
excitation procedure to characterize the spring constant
of the trap has been verified. Although the loss reso-
nances are red-shifted and wider than what expected in
the harmonic case, the lattice harmonic frequency can be
easily extracted from the experimental spectra, to esti-
mate useful quantities such as the trap depth and spring
constant.
We have also made emphasis on the need of modeling
the broadening of bands with a negligible natural width
in order to reproduce the observed loss spectrum. In a
harmonic model this broadening is not necessary since
the equidistant energy spectrum guarantees that a sin-
gle transition energy characterizes the excitation proces s.
We think that most of the broadening in our specific ex-
periment is due to the fact that the actual trapping po-
tential is not one-dimensional, and also to possible fluc-
tuations and inhomogeneities of the lattice.
To conclude, we note that the dynamical analysis we
have made can be easily extended to lattices with larger
dimensionality, and also to other potentials, such as
Gaussian potentials, which are also commonly used for
optical trapping.

11 Introduction
Munitions containing depleted uranium (DU) have been used b y NATO and
US forces during the war operations in Iraq (1991), Bosnia (1 994), Kosovo
and Serbia (1999). Recently some information on 112 sites ta rgeted by DU
weapons in Kosovo has been supplied by NATO to the United Nati on En-
vironmental Program Balkans Task Force (UNEP BTF); on Novem ber 2000
measurements to detect contamination have been undertaken by a UNEP
team in 11 among the 112 sites.
Aim of this paper is outlining some aspects of the exposure of people
living in an area contaminated by DU, on the basis of official av ailable infor-
mation and of simulations, looking for main pathways of aver age and critical
exposure.
Individuation of pathways of high exposure could allow to ad vice to popu-
lation; average dose assessment, together with measures of DU concentration
in soil, will make delimitation of areas to be cleaned up poss ible.
2 Military use of depleted uranium
The Gulf war against Iraq in 1991 was the first one known where D U rounds
have been used in large quantity (approximately 300 tonnes) [1, 2]. The
consequences on the health of the Iraqi population and of the US veterans
are still under study. DU exposure at the moment is not consid ered the most
probable cause of the Gulf War Syndrome experienced by hundr eds thousand
veterans [3]; on the other hand, the effects of the DU left over the Iraqi
territory are difficult to show, due to the large number of toxi c substances
dispersed in the environment during the war and the deterior ation of the
sanitary situation caused by the embargo to which the country is submitted
from 1991 (cited work in [4], app.3).
Reports on potential effects on human health and environment from the
use of DU have appeared during the last years: studies on risk assessment
for the Jefferson Proving Ground, a US facility for testing DU munitions,
have been performed [5]; the risk for population for the Koso vo conflict and
for the Gulf war has been also considered [4, 6].
DU can be obtained as by-product in the enrichment process of natural
uranium for the production of nuclear fuel and for military a pplications; as
2the ore extracted natural uranium, DU is associated to a redu ced chain of
radioactive isotopes, formed by238Uand235Udecay products having shorter
decay times:234Th(24 days),234mPa(1.17 min) and234Pa(6.7 hours),231
Th(25.5 hours). DU can also be obtained by the reprocessing o f nuclear
power plant spent fuel, and so traces of transuranic element s and236Ucan
be present. According to official information, DU used by the U .S. Depart-
ment of Defence contains approximately 0.2% of235Uand traces of234U,
236U. Following the indications in [7, 8], we will assume the uran ium iso-
topic composition of DU given in Table 1. DU specific activity is in part due

to uranium isotopes (14.9 Bq/mg , 36%), and for the residual part to beta
emitting short-life decay products (64%); among the transu ranic elements
official information is available only for239Pu(2.4 104years), whose content
is estimated in 11 ppb [9]. DU specific activity is not substan tially affected
by the declared amount of traces elements.
Metallic uranium has a high density (19 g/cm3), is pyrophoric and cheaper
than tungsten, and so has been attractive for U.S. Army for th e production of
armor piercing ammunition since 1960s. Tungsten alloys hav e been preferred
up 1973, when a DU alloy with 0.75% of titanium (U-3/4Ti) was a dopted for
ammunition made by a thin cylinder in DU alloy encased with li ghter ma-
terial. Systems of DU weapons are owned or under development in different
countries (Saudi Arabia, France, United Kingdom, Israel, P akistan, Russia,
Thailand and Turkey) [8].
Use of DU ammunition causes exposure of people soon and after , because
DU is dispersed as aerosol when the projectile strikes a hard target and
3then falls out on a limited area [7]. Contamination of all env ironmental
matrices takes place and health effects on people living near by must be taken
in account, both for toxicological damage and for radiologi cal risk. Among
different isotopes present in DU as declared,238U,234Uand235Uare of concern
in risk assessment. For chemical hazard, kidney is identifie d as the target
organ, whatever the path of assumption [10]. Due to prevalen t short-range
emitted radiation, the risk associated with exposure to ion izing radiation
mainly derives from ingestion and inhalation of radioactiv e material; external
irradiation from soil is less relevant.
3 Dispersion of DU in the environment and
exposure of the population
DU contained in projectiles, spread out as aerosol in air aft er striking the tar-
get, falls out producing environmental and food chain conta mination. Possi-
ble occurring of chemical hazard and entity of radiation dos e must be assessed
for people living in the area, taking into account both avera ge and critical
group exposure.
DU concentration in the soil is the starting point; while wai ting for mea-
surements of contamination in Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo and Serb ia, we present
computed radiation doses and associated concentrations fo r different con-
taminated soil thickness, as soil mixing will extend the ini tial superficial
deposition to underlying layers in not undisturbed areas. A vailable soil mea-
sured DU concentrations in contaminated sites that we are aw are of, are the
following:
•at Jefferson Proving Ground area an average/summationtextUconcentration of 318
Bq/kg was reported [11]; more recently a lower and an upper bound
of the concentration ranging from 592 Bq/kg to 13690 Bq/kg was also
measured [5];
•among the areas where the US personnel lived in the Gulf regio n (out-
side Iraq) the highest DU concentration (433 Bq/kg ) was measured in
the Iraqi Tank Yard (the area where captured Iraqi equipment is stored
in Kuwait) [12];
4•in some sample analyzed by the RFY scientists a specific activ ity of
238Uup to 2 .35 105Bq/kg was detected [13].
Following the hypothesis assumed in the BTF report, we have a ssumed as
a reference value a DU contamination of 1000 Bq/kg of soil over an area of
A= 10000 m2, in the hypothesis of 10 kgof DU entirely dispersed in the
impact as aerosol of uranium oxides, contaminating 1 cmof soil. With the
composition given in Table 1 initial activities per kgof soil for238U,235U,
234Uand236Uare respectively 830 Bq, 11Bq, 154Bqand 5 Bq.
Average effective dose is conservatively assessed using the residential
farmer scenario. The following pathways are considered: ex ternal irradia-
tion from soil, inhalation from resuspended dust, ingestio n of contaminated
soil and water, ingestion of plants and animal products grow n in site and
ingestion of fish grown in a pond contaminated by groundwater . Different
pathways are considered for plant contamination due to first root uptake (wa-
ter independent) and due to secondary root uptake from use of contaminated
water (water dependent). Radon inhalation is excluded. RES RAD 5.91 [14]
code is used, all parameters default except for the ones give n in Table 2. Es-
timates of dose to individuals and population for risk in con taminated sites
have been performed by EPA employing primarily the code RESR AD (for
related work see [15, 16]).
RESRAD default libraries values have been corrected to give effective dose
[17] rather than equivalent effective dose [18]: due to the al gorithm used by
RESRAD, anyway, values for external irradiation EGin Tables 4 and 5 have
been impossible to modify, and are approximate by 10% maximu m defect.
In Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6 we show average annual effective doses an d corre-
sponding DU concentrations in water and vegetables for thre e different soil
thickness, respectively 1 cm, 10cmand 20 cm. The following quantities are
given at different times, from the first year to about two hundr ed years after
maximum dose, for main pathways: the total dose ( Etot), the dose from exter-
nal irradiation from the soil ( EG), from inhalation of contaminated dust ( EI),
from consumption of edible plants (water independent EP, water dependent
Ew
P) and of water ( EH2O).
The dependence of tmaxandEmaxon some hydrogeological parameters,
mainly affecting the water dependent pathways, is shown in Ta ble 7 and
8. The maximum value of the dose is not much affected by most of t he
parameters considered in Table 8 except Kd. This parameter is defined as

the ratio of the mass of solute species observed in the solids per unit of dry
mass of the soil to the solute concentration in the liquids. A wide range has
been observed for uranium Kdvalues [19]. For largest value of Kdthe DU is
retained in surface and does not reach at least within the firs t 1000 years the
watertable. A measurement of the local value of this paramet er is therefore
necessary to reduce the uncertainty on the dose assessment.
Strong dependence of maximum inhalation dose has been found , as ex-
pected, on the dust loading parameter, as shown in Table 9.
As already outlined, presented doses and concentrations ha ve been ob-
tained from an average value of soil contamination, in order to assess the
average exposure of population. Whatever the average value considered,
anyway, highly inhomogeneous soil concentrations must be e xpected in the
contaminated area, both for sparse aerosol deposition and f or oxidation of
DU fragments: concentrations up to 12% in weight have been re ported [20].
In order to assess the dose to critical population group, thi s must be taken in
account, especially if inhalation of soil was the critical p athway: inhalation
of 0.1 gof soil with maximum reported DU contamination, equal to 12 mg
DU, corresponds to 1.44 mSv; ingestion of 1 gof soil, equal to 120 mgDU,
corresponds to 0.08 mSv.
A scenario, in which permanence in dusting air and ingestion of soil are
possible, is the one for children playing with soil. From the presented dose
assessment and considerations children playing with soil m ay be identified as
the critical population group, with inhalation and/or inge stion of contami-
nated soil as critical pathway. Evidently, average and crit ical doses are some-
how competitive, because the higher fraction of DU is disper sed as aerosol,
the lower part of it can rest in soil as fragment, being presen ce of fragments

It must be outlined that the amount of DU considered in the sim ulation
corresponds to 37 A-10 /GAU-8 ammunitions. According to the available
information, a much larger number of projectiles has been fir ed on each site
(between 50 and 2320, average 300) and up to now unknown is the extension
of targeted sites. Both for average and critical exposure, a nyway, more realis-
tic dose assessment will be possible only when measured cont amination data
will be known, scaling the values in the tables for the approp riate factor.
Increment of inhalation dose attributable to239Pupresence in DU is
officially estimated in 14% [9]: with 11 ppb of239Puin DU RESRAD gives
a maximum dose increment of 0.6%.
4 Normative and recommendations framework
Before discussing compliance of average assessed doses and exposure with
international standards set to prevent from toxicological damage and limit
ionizing radiation risk, we shortly line out an aspect relat ive to radioprotec-
tion system, maybe useful even in wider considerations on ri sk.

Due to accepted linear-no-threshold model for effects produ ced by ioniz-
ing radiation, justification of a practise has to be the first o ne posed, that is
if the population exposure from military use of DU is justifie d or not. Com-
parison between dose estimates in such a scenario and dose li mits and dose
constraints stated by regulations is anyway useful, for a qu antitative per-
ception of risk. In order to assess the need for remediation i n contaminated
areas, once again the question of justification has to be cons idered; specific
reference levels , linked to the avertable annual dose, have to be defined by
national authorities. ” Generic reference levels ... should be used with great
caution” and their use ”should not prevent protective actio ns from being
taken to reduce ... dominant components [of existing annual dose]” [21]. We
next report a comment to assessed doses, comparing them with radiological
and toxicological reference values, in order not to hold the question narrowed
to exceeding of dose limits.
Values of annual dose in Tables 3, 4 and 5 show the same tempora l shape,
with an initial prevalent dose from irradiation by soil and a maximum from
ingestion of contaminated drinking water occurring after a bout five hundreds
years, when contamination reaches the acquifer serving the population. Max-
imum dose, progressively increasing as inventary of DU incr eases, is always
lower than annual population limit (1 mSv/y ), starts to be comparable with

5 Conclusions
DU contained in projectiles, spread out in air after strikin g the target, falls
out producing environmental and food chain contamination. Possible occur-
ring of chemical hazard and entity of radiation dose must be a ssessed for
different kind of exposure of people living in the area, takin g into account
both average and critical group exposure. While waiting for measurements
of contamination in Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo and Serbia, we have computed ra-
diation doses and concentrations for different contaminate d soil thickness, as
soil mixing will extend the initial superficial deposition t o underlying layers
in not undisturbed areas.
In order to assess the average exposure of population, doses and con-
centrations have been obtained from an average value of soil contamination.
For the individuation of the critical group inhomogeneous s oil concentration
has been considered. The presented dose assessment suggest s a short term
exposure due to inhalation and/or ingestion of contaminate d soil and a long
term exposure due to ingestion of contaminated water and foo d; the propa-
gation of the superficial contamination to the watertable cr itically depends
on various hydrogeological parameters to be evaluated on th e site.
In sites targeted by DU munitions special cautions have to be adopted to
reduce unaware exposures and cleanup must be planned on the b asis of the
measured concentrations.

Abstract
Multipath propagation of radio waves in indoor/outdoor env ironments shows a highly irregular
behavior as a function of time. Typical modeling of this phen omenon assumes the received signal
is a stochastic process composed of the superposition of var ious altered replicas of the transmitted
one, their amplitudes and phases being drawn from specific pr obability densities. We set out to
explore the hypothesis of the presence of deterministic cha os in signals propagating inside various
buildings at the University of Calgary. The correlation dim ension versus embedding dimension
saturates to a value between 3 and 4 for various antenna polar izations. The full Liapunov spectrum
calculated contains two positive exponents and yields thro ugh the Kaplan-Yorke conjecture the
same dimension obtained from the correlation sum. The prese nce of strange attractors in multipath
propagation hints to better ways to predict the behaviour of the signal and better methods to
counter the effects of interference. The use of Neural Networ ks in non linear prediction will be
illustrated in an example and potential applications of sam e will be highlighted.

1I. INTRODUCTION
Multipath propagation of radio waves in indoor or outdoor en vironments shows a highly
irregular behavior as a function of time [1]. The characteri zation of radio channels in mobile
or in building propagation is important for addressing issu es of design, coding, modulation
and equalization techniques tailored specifically to comba t time and frequency dispersion
effects.
Irregular behavior of the received signal has prompted rese archers in the past to model the
channel with stochastic processes. One of the earliest line ar models in this vein is the Turin
et al. model [2] in which the impulse response of the channel i s written as a superposition
of replicas of the transmitted signal delayed and having alt ered amplitudes and phases.
A number of models exist differing in the numbers of replicas o f the signal or in the type
of probability distributions from which the amplitudes and phases are drawn. Also, differ-
ent stochastic processes are used in the generation of delay times of received replicas. The
popular choice for the amplitude probability density funct ions (PDF) are Rayleigh or Rice
PDFs depending on whether a weak or strong line of sight propa gation exists; nevertheless
other PDFs have been used such the lognormal, Nakagami-m or u niform. The phases ought
to be drawn from PDFs compatible with the ones selected for th e corresponding ampli-
tudes; nevertheless the most popular choice found in the lit erature is the uniform [0 −2π]
distribution. Delay times are usually extracted from eithe r stationary of stationary Poisson
processes although in some cases the Weibull PDF is used.
II. A HYPOTHESIS OF DETERMINISTIC CHAOS
Although an assumption of stochastic behavior in mobile or i ndoor propagation is ubiqui-
tous, in the present work we set out to explore the hypothesis that the indoor communication
channel displays deterministically chaotic behavior. Thi s question is important in many re-
spects and the tools to answer it readily exist. These tools a re based on the determination
of the correlation dimension of the strange attractor assoc iated with the multipath profile
considered as a real valued time-series x(t). Using delay co ordinates [3] one forms the m-
dimensional delay vector X(t) = [x(t), x(t−T)...x(t−(m−1)T] with delay Tand computes
the correlation sum C(r) which is the ratio of the number of pa irs of delay vectors (the
2distance between which is less than r) to the total number of p airs. From this, the corre-
lation dimension νis defined as the logarithmic slope of C(r) versus r for small r . For a
true stochastic process, νincreases with m without showing any saturation. In contras t,
for deterministic chaos, νsaturates at a value, the next integer greater than which, re p-
resent the minimum number of non-linear recursion or differe ntial equations from which
it originates. If the profile turns out to be deterministic, t he modulation, coding and de-
tection/demodulation techniques ought to be adapted accor dingly in order to account for
this fact; otherwise one has to rely upon techniques capable of handling stochastic signals.
Let us illustrate this by an analysis of multipath measureme nts we have made in an indoor
environment.
III. EXPERIMENT AND CORRELATION DIMENSION ANALYSIS
The propagation environment from which the data are collect ed are hallways in the En-
gineering Building at The University of Calgary [4]. The tra nsmitted power was 10 dBm
fed into a half wave dipole antenna with a matching balun. The receiving antenna was a
cross-polarized dipole array. The co-polarized antennas ( CPA) and crosspolarized antennas
(XPA) profiles referred to in Figure 1 are from a single measur ement run and points from
both profiles were obtained in coincident pairs. The terms CP A and XPA simply refer to
the relative state of polarisation between the transmit and receive antennas. The receiving
hardware was specially developed to measure diversity char acteristics and gives an accu-
rate reference between distance from transmitting to recei ving antennas and received signal
strength. The same measurement procedure was employed as fo r the arbitrarily polarized
data set. We have estimated the correlation dimension for th e sets of data: Arbitrarily
Polarized Antennas (APA, 6000 data points), co-polarized ( CPA, 3800 points) and Cross-
polarized antennas (XPA, 3800 points) by the box-counting m ethod of Grassberger and
Procaccia [3]. There are a number of limitations and potenti al pitfalls with correlation
dimension estimation that have been discussed by various au thors [5]. In addition, the num-
ber of operations it takes to estimate C(r) is O(N2) where Nis the number of collected
experimental points. Recently Theiler [5] devised a powerf ul box-assisted correlation sum
algorithm based on a lexicographical ordering of the boxes c overing the attractor, reducing
the number of operations to O(Nlog(N)) and incorporating several test procedures aimed
3at avoiding the previous pitfalls. Before we used Theiler’s algorithm, we made some pre-
liminary tests against well known cases. We generated unifo rm random numbers, Gaussian
random numbers, and numbers z(n) according to the logistic o ne-dimensional map at the
onset of Chaos: z(n+1) = a z(n)(1-z(n)) with a = 3.5699456 and in the fully developed
Chaotic regime at a=4. In the first two cases we found νapproximately equal to m as
expected in purely stochastic series whereas νsaturated respectively at 0.48 and 0.98 (we
used 2000 points only) for the logistic map indicating the pr esence of a low dimensional
attractor and deterministic Chaos (the exact correlation d imensions for the logistic map is
0.5 at a=3.5699456 and 1 for a=4.). We tested as well the H´ eno n two dimensional map,
the Lorenz three dimensional system of non-linear different ial equations, the R¨ ossler three
and four dimensional systems as well as an infinite dimension al system, the delay-differential
Mackey-Glass equation whose attractor dimension is tunabl e with the delay time. The re-
sults we found for the various correlation dimensions agree d with all the results known in the
literature to within a few percents. Then we went ahead and ex amined the νvs. m curves
for the three sets of experimental data along with a set of 600 0 Rayleigh and band-limited
Rayleigh distributed numbers which constitute prototypic received envelopes. Our results,
in Figure 1 show that, while ν∼mfor the pure Rayleigh case (with a slope equal to one),
andν∝mfor the band limited Rayleigh case (with a slope smaller than one) the νvs.
m curves for the three examined experimental sets of data sta rt linearly with m then show
saturation indicating the presence of a low dimensional att ractor (whose dimension is about
4 for CPA and XPA data whereas it is slightly above 4 for the APA situation). This finding
is in line with the Ruelle criterion [6] that sets an upper bou nd on the possible correlation
dimension one can get from any algorithm of the Grassberger- Procaccia type. This upper
bound is set by the available number of data points Nin the time series. The dimension
that can be detected should be much smaller than 2 log10(N). Since we used 3800 and 6000
points respectively, the upper bound for the detectable cor relation dimension in our case
is about 7.16 to 7.56. We respect this bound since our correla tion dimensions are around
4. Nevertheless the presence of Chaos is going to be confirmed through another route, the
spectrum of the Liapunov exponents that will be discusssed n ext.
4IV. SPECTRUM OF THE LIAPUNOV EXPONENTS
The spectrum of Liapunov exponents is very important in the s tudy of dynamical systems.
If the largest exponent is positive, this is a very strong ind ication for the presence of Chaos in
the time series originating from the dynamical system. The r eciprocal of this exponent is the
average prediction time of the series and the sum of all the po sitive exponents (if more than
one is detected like in hyper-chaotic systems such as the R¨ o ssler four dimensional system of
non-linear differential equations or the large delay Mackey -Glass equation) is the Kolmogorov
entropy rate of the system. The latter gives a quantitative i dea about the information
processes going on in the dynamical system. In addition, wit h the Kaplan-Yorke conjecture,
the full spectrum gives the Hausdorff dimension of the strang e attractor governing the long
time evolution of the dynamical system. We have calculated t he Liapunov exponents of
the data with four different methods. Firstly, we determined the largest exponent λmax
from the exponential separation of initially close points o n the attractor and averaging over
several thousand iterations. Second, we determined the lar gest Liapunov exponent from the
correlation sum with the help of the relation C(r)∼rνexp(−mTλ max) valid for large values
of the embedding dimension mand small values of r. Finally, we determined all exponents
with two different methods: the Eckmann et al. method [7] and t he Brown et al.’s [8]. Our
results for the spectrum of exponents is shown in figures 2 and 3. We tried several embedding
delay times T and several approximation degrees for the tang ent mapping polynomial (as
allowed in the Brown et al. [8] algorithm ) without observing major changes in the spectrum.
Several time series (Logistic map, H´ enon, Lorenz, R¨ ossle r and Mackey-Glass) were tested
for the sake of comparison to results obtained with the exper imental data. In addition, the
Liapunov exponents saturate smoothly as they should for lar ge embedding dimension. Then
we applied the Kaplan-Yorke conjecture to get the dimension of the attractor: Using the
following typical numbers we obtained for the exponents λmax=λ1= 18.06, λ2= 1.88, λ3=
−8.85, λ4=−24.94, λ5=−68.80 and using the formula:
D=j+/summationtext
iλi
|λj+1|(1)
where the summation is over i=1,2...j. The λi’s are ordered in a way such that they
decrease as i increases. We determine j from the conditions/summationtext
iλi>0 and: λj+1+/summationtext
iλi<0.
We get j=3 and D=3.44 for the strange attractor dimension (ca lled its Liapunov dimension).
5The total sum of the Liapunov exponents is negative ( equal to -82.65) as it should be for
dissipative systems with a strange attractor. The value of t he attractor dimension will be
confirmed from the spectrum of singularities or the mutifrac tal spectrum in the next section.
V. MULTIFRACTAL SPECTRUM
The generalized dimension may be used to characterize non-u niform fractals for which
there are different scaling exponents for different aspects o f the fractal, so-called multifrac-
tals. For these, there are two scaling exponents, one genera lly called τ, for the support of the
fractal, and one called q, for the measure of bulk of the fract al. In general, τ(q) = (q−1)Dq,
where Dqis the generalized dimension. Multifractals have been empl oyed to characterize
multiplicative random processes, turbulence, electrical discharge, diffusion-limited aggrega-
tion, and viscous fingering [9]. Multifractals have this in c ommon: there is a non-uniform
measure (growth rate, probability, mass) on a fractal suppo rt. Besides the exponents, τand
q, and the generalized dimension Dq, there is another method for characterizing multifrac-
tals. This depends upon the use of the mass exponent α, and the multifractal spectrum,
f(α) [9]. A graph of the multifractal spectrum explicitly shows the fractal dimension, f, of
the points in the fractal with the mass exponent (or scaling i ndex), α. We have estimated
Dqby use of the generalised moments of the correlation sum with a window chosen carefully
enough to avoid temporal correlation effects. We have develo ped a program that computes
the generalized correlation sum using a box-assisted metho d. Our program is based on one
written by Theiler [5]. Several modifications had to be made t o the straightforward box-
assisted correlation sum method. In addition, our program a llows for logarithmic scaling
with the distance parameter r. From a log-log graph of the gen eralized correlation sums,
appropriate scaling regions can be identified, for each orde r, q. Least-squares fits to these
scaling regions yields a sequence of generalized correlati on dimensions, Dq, for values of q
between ±∞. We have found computation of Dqfor integers in the interval [-10,10] and
D−∞andD+∞to be sufficient. From the Dq, we calculate the τ(q) = (q−1)Dq. We then
perform a Legendre transform to obtain the f(α) curve. We do this by first fitting a smooth
curve (a hyperbola was considered to be adequate) to the τ(q) curve. With an analytic
expression for the τ(q) curve, we can compute the Legendre transform in closed form . The
domain of f(α) may be found from D−∞andD+∞; we assume that αis confined to this
6region, and that f(α) is 0 at these points. The values of f(α) forD−∞≤α≤D+∞are cal-
culated as min[ qα−τ(q)], the minimum being taken over q. We found that this procedu re,
although complex, corrects for the known numerical sensiti vities of the Legendre transform.
We checked that our method for obtaining f(α) gave the same results as those found in
the literature for the Logistic map and the strongly dissipa tive circle map [9]. The f(α)
curve for the multipath data is shown in Figure 4. It may be see n that the peak value of
f(α), corresponding to the box-counting dimension at q=0, is ab out 3.7. This is consistent
with our above findings from the correlation dimension and th e full spectrum of Liapunov
exponents. Our further research in this area concerns the pr ediction of the received signal
intensity, from our above hypothesis of the presence of dete rministic chaos.
VI. NON LINEAR PREDICTION
We applied the above findings to the non linear prediction of m ultipath profiles consider-
ing that each point on the envelope of the measured signal is a function of some number of
past points in the series, deviating from the traditional wa ve superposition approach. More
precisely, we write:
y(n+ 1) = F[y(n), y(n−1), y(n−2), y(n−3)...y(n−m+ 1)] (2)
with F an mdimensional map and y(n) the value of the signal x(t) sampled at timestep
n. Expressing F as a sum of sigmoidal and linear functions [10 ] we determine the unknown
weights through the Marquardt least squares minimisation m ethod [11] in order to achieve
the best fit to the data. Our results comparing the onestep pre diction to the multipath
data analysed above are displayed in figure 5. The goodness of fit between the measured
and predicted envelopes for a map dimension m=5 is another in dication of the soundness
of the approach. This is confirmed in Figure 6 where we display the normalised prediction
error versus the embedding dimension. A minimum is observed in the prediction error for
an embedding equal to 5 or 6. In Figure 6, we started always fro m the same initial weights
and let the system run through 150 iterations searching for t he least squares minimum
for 200 data points and later on making 300 one step ahead pred ictions. For embedding
dimension larger or equal to 7 the minimisation procedure st opped because of the presence
of zero-pivot in the least-squares matrices. The presence o f a minimum in the prediction
7error around an embedding equal to 5 or 6 complies again with t he value of embedding
dimension used previously in the correlation dimension ana lysis, the Liapunov spectrum
and the Kaplan-Yorke conjecture.
VII. DISCUSSION
We stress that although the profiles we examined were found to be chaotic in all three
experimental configurations with confirmations from the Lia punov spectrum and non linear
prediction studies, indicating that we would be able to desc ribe our data with a set of at
most 5 non-linear differential or algebraic equations, inve stigation in other propagation
situations is needed. Nevertheless, in our investigations we observed a significant amount
of consistency between the various methods of detecting Cha os and characterising it using
embedding dimensions mbeyond the minimum mminrequired by the Takens theorem
(mmin>2d+ 1, where d is the dimension of the strange attractor). Assum ing the
hypothesis of the presence of Chaos in a given multipath profi le is firmly established, many
avenues become possible. For instance, one might consider d evising ways for controlling
the signal propagation by altering slightly some accessibl e system parameter and improving
the performance characteristics of the channel [12]. Shaw [ 13] has introduced the concept
that a deterministically chaotic system can generate entro py. The consequences of this
observation is important for the design of communication eq uipment when the channel is
a chaotic system. For one, it implies that information at the receiver about the state of
the channel is lost at a mean rate given by the Kolmogorov entr opy. For another it implies
that a channel estimator should be adapted to the mathematic al nature of the set of non
linear equations describing the channel as shown in the prev ious paragraph. Our studies
up to this date have shown that this approach is valid in an ind oor situation but not in an
outdoor one. This might be due to the confined geometry one enc ounters inside buildings
and the boundary conditions for the electromagnetic fields l eading to a low dimensional
system of non linear equations giving birth to the observed c haotic behaviour. Our studies
in this direction are in progress.

Abstract
The dispersion relation and mode amplitudes of oblique surf ace waves propagating on an acoustic
double comb filter are obtained with a method based on the calc ulus of residues. We obtain a better
agreement (below 480 Hz) between theoretical predictions a nd measurements reported previously
when the filter was being supposed to be made of a single comb st ructure.

1I. INTRODUCTION
The behavior of a slow wave filter made of a pair of planar perio dic waveguides subjected
to low frequency acoustic waves incident upon the aperture s eparating the waveguides has
been investigated theoretically and experimentally for it s potential use in acoustic filtering
devices [1]. Each waveguide has a comb structure consisting of a periodic array of blades
perpendicular to a base plane (Figure 1).
Using a mathematical model borrowed from the study of electr ical filters, a filter having
the same geometric structure of a single comb waveguide has b een analyzed previously [1].
The dispersion relation, amplitude and phase as functions o f frequency and wave number
were derived and compared to experiment. In this work, we ext end our previous theoretical
results and consider the actual nature of the filter consisti ng of the two waveguides facing
each other. We derive the dispersion relation and reflection (transmission) coefficients of
surface waves propagating along any oblique wave number in t he plane parallel to the comb
structure base planes.
Our calculations are based on a weak-coupling approximatio n and in the limit of
large distance separating the two structures. This means th e separation is much larger
than the inter-blade distance. The blades are supposed to ha ve a vanishingly small
thickness and we neglect possible reflections from the plana r base affecting the propa-
gating modes, by direct analogy with the electromagnetic ca se [2]. This is equivalent to
assuming a slot depth large with respect to the inverse lowes t attenuation of the structure [2].
Our work is organized as follows: In section II, we discuss th e geometry, propagating
modes dispersion and amplitude relation for the surface wav es. Section III covers the com-
parison with the experimental results and the conclusion is in Section IV.
II. DISPERSION RELATION, MODES AND AMPLITUDES
Periodic arrays of slotted waveguides stacked to form a rect angular [3] or prismatic
[4] structure are good candidates for reducing environment al noise (0.1 to 2 kHz). Their
2properties have been analyzed theoretically and experimen tally [1, 3, 4] such as their
reflection scattering of sound waves harmful to the general p opulation living near highways
or other sources of damaging sources of low frequency noise. It is important to understand
how these structures absorb, reflect, transmit or phase dela y the incoming sound waves
reaching them with arbitrary time dependent angles. For the rectangular structure, we
have already undertaken such study from the experimental po int of view as well as from the
theoretical one. In this work, we set out to investigate a new type of structure introduced
in detail in Ref. 1 theoretically and experimentally (Fig. 1 ).
We have studied the dispersion relation of acoustic waves im pinging on the structure at an
arbitrary fixed angle in the base plane, and measured the soun d reflection and transmission
with respect to the incident angle. Our prior theoretical in vestigation took account of a
single comb structure only. Here we extend it and deal with a s ymmetrical weakly- coupled
double comb structure [5] in the limitb
d≫1 where b is half the distance between the tip
of the blades belonging to each of the waveguides and d is the i nter-blade distance in any
waveguide (Fig. 1).

Following our notation [1], we write for the acoustic fields i n region A (free space) keeping
the symmetric modes only:
ΦA(x, y, z ) =∞/summationdisplay
n=−∞Ane−jβnx−jτzcosh(αny) (1)
where βnandτare the propagation constants along x and z and αnis the attenuation
constant along y. The propagation constant β0defining the fundamental mode is determined
3from the propagation geometry (Fig. 1 of [6]). It is equal toτ
tg(θ)where θis the angle, the
surface wave vector makes with the x-axis [Fig. 1]. The surfa ce wave has a smaller velocity
than in true free space by the ratio β2+τ2

The coefficients Bν

m=
Bme−jνβ0dand the abscissae xνare equal to x-( ν-1/2)d. In order to find the dispersion
equation of the surface waves and the coefficients Am, Bm, we will proceed as we did in our
previous work following the approach pioneered by Whitehea d [7] and Hurd [2]. It consists
of writing the equations of continuity for the fields Φ Aand Φ Band their derivatives along the
vertical y axis on the boundaries y=±b. These equations are considered as originating from
Cauchy’s theorem of residues for a meromorphic function f(w) taken along some contour
and the contribution of each pole is identified with the contr ibution of some corresponding
mode. The contour and f(w) should be such that the presumed theorem of residues is
satisfied. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of f(w) is tailored by the underlying physical
problem and is basically dictated by the scattering of the wa ves by the edges of the blades
[7]. We obtain the following meromorphic function f(w) of the complex variable w:

This equation is the same as that obtained by Hougardy and Han sen [6] who treated
a single comb structure from the electromagnetic point of vi ew. Here, we are dealing
with the weak coupling symmetric case limit and with the addi tional simplifying as-
sumptions:b
d≫1, α0b≫1 and α−p∼β−p. We find that the dispersion relation is
essentially the same as in the case of a single comb structure . The double comb structure
simply behaves as a single one from the dispersion relation p oint of view. This justifies
our assumptions in Ref. 1 where we found very good agreement b etween theory and
experiment up to frequencies on the order of 400 Hz. Neverthe less this is not true for
reflection (transmission) coefficients of the single/double comb structures as discussed below.
In order to calculate the mode amplitudes and obtain from the m the reflection (trans-
mission) coefficients of the structure, we use the residue of f(w) atw=αn:
Res[f(w)]w=αn=Anβnejβnd/2cosh(αnb) (9)
to obtain (n=0, 1, 2...):
|An|

(10)
where Γ stands for the Euler Gamma function. For negative val ues of n, it suffices to
change αninto−αnin the above expression. Let us note that when the separation 2b
between the two parts of the structure, becomes very large we recover exactly the expression
found by Hougardy and Hansen [6] corresponding to a single co mb structure.
In order to calculate the Bncoefficients, we use:
5f(−jγn) =d

[(−)nexp(−jβ0d)−1](11)
and the definition (3) of f(w) to obtain:

where ǫ= 1 for n even, and ǫ=1

Let us note that the Bncoefficients are the same as those obtained by Hougardy and
Hansen [6] reflecting the fact, the weak- coupling approxima tion affects in a different way
theAnand the Bncoefficients. This has important implications on our measure ments of
the amplitude profile.
III. COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENT
In our previous work, we derived the dispersion relation, tr ansmission and reflection
coefficients and found excellent agreement between the singl e comb structure theory and
experiment up to 400 Hz [1]. This work shows that a weak coupli ng between two comb
structures does not affect the surface wave dispersion relat ions and the Bnamplitude
coefficients but it does affect the Anamplitude coefficients.
We are going to evaluate how our theory modifies the amplitude ratio|A0|
|B0|associated
with the fundamental mode (n=0) in relation (10) compared wi th same given in Lahlou et
al. [1]. The double comb over single comb structure ratio of t he two expressions is given by:
F(θ) =eα0b
2cosh(α0b)(13)
For a given frequency and a given incident angle θwe solve the dispersion relation given
by equation (8), obtain the propagation factor α0and use it in (13). The corrections F( θ)
in dB are plotted versus θin the interval [1, 80] degrees for various frequencies [400 -600 Hz]
in Fig.2.
The correction comprised between 0 and -3 dB is small for high er frequencies and small
incident angles. It decreases rapidly for angles larger tha n 10 to 20 degrees and by a larger

amount for higher frequencies. A comparison to the experime ntal data reveals that the
correction is pronounced mostly at higher frequency (336 Hz ) and for the largest angle of
incidence (47 degrees). For the highest experimental frequ encies (480 and 496 Hz), the
correction introduces more disagreement between the exper imental and theoretical single
comb structure theory. This behavior may be explained by the fact that there are several
sources of errors associated with the measurements at these higher frequencies.
IV. CONCLUSION
We have developed a weak coupling theory based on the calculu s of residues in order to
model the oblique propagation of acoustic waves propagatin g through a slow wave filter made
of a pair of comb structured waveguides separated by a distan ce that is large with respect to
the inter-blade distance. The correction arising from the s ymmetrical coupling between the
two waveguides has been evaluated and shown to improve sligh tly the agreement between
the theoretical and the experimental values of Lahlou et al. [1] being at the most 3 dB for
the largest frequency and angle evaluated. Those results sh ow that the approximation taken
in our previous investigation is quite acceptable and that t he new theory does not bring
7substantial additional accuracy to our previous single com b structure model. Our studies of
the strong coupling case ( b < d) being mathematically much more complicated, and intended
for improving the agreement between the theoretical result s and the experimental ones at
the higher frequencies are in progress and will be reported i n the near future.

This thesis presents an experimental study of the inverse en ergy cascade as it occurs
in an electromagnetically forced soap film. It focuses on cha racterizing important
features of the inverse cascade such as it’s range, how energ y is distributed over the
range and how energy flows through the range. The thesis also p robes the assumption
of scale invariance that is associated with the existence of an inverse cascade. These
investigations demonstrate that the extent of the inverse c ascade range and the be-
havior of the energy distribution are in agreement with dime nsional predictions. The
energy flow in the inverse cascade range is shown to be well des cribed by exact math-
ematical predictions obtained from the Navier-Stokes equa tion. At no time does the
energy flow in the inverse cascade range produced by the e-m ce ll behave inertially or
in a scale invariant manner. Evidence that the cascade could become scale invariant
should an inertial range develop is presented, as are the req uirements that a system
must satisfy to create such an inertial range.

Introduction
One of the curious predictions in turbulence theory is that t here might possibly exist
a range of length scales in a two-dimensional (2D) turbulent fluid over which kinetic
energy is transferred from small to large length scales. Tha t this range could exist was
first predicted in the late 1960’s by Kraichnan[1]. Numerica l simulations that followed
yielded varying degrees of agreement with this prediction[ 2, 3, 4]. Experimental
verification of the existence of such a range did not come abou t until much later due
to the difficulty inherent in building and maintaining a syste m which approximates a
2D fluid[5, 6, 7]. This thesis presents an investigation of th e 2D inverse energy cascade
in a new apparatus, the electromagnetically forced soap film . What follows in this
chapter is a description of the phenomenology surrounding t he inverse energy cascade
and a discussion of the experiments that have attempted to pr obe it’s properties.
1.1 The Inverse Energy Cascade
The phenomenology of turbulence, in three-dimensions (3D) or 2D, is usually phrased
in terms of “eddies”. An eddy itself is not a well defined objec t, though there have
been many recent attempts using wavelets to better define the concept[8]. Loosely
speaking it is a region in a fluid that is behaving coherently. The extent of an eddy is
dictated by boundaries within which an arbitrary determina tion is made that some
sort of structure exists. Thus an eddy can be a single large re gion of rotation, such
as the whirlpool which forms above a bathroom drain. Or an edd y can be a large
region containing many smaller eddies which are interactin g with one another while
behaving distinctly (again by an arbitrary determination) from other neighboring

and (b) a large eddy made from many interacting smaller eddie s.
clusters of eddies. These two ideas are drawn in Fig. 1.1 for t he case of a 2D fluid.
Eddies in 3D are much more difficult to picture. Two important p roperties that are
associated with an eddy are size and energy. These two proper ties allow predictions
about energy motion in fluids to be made if some knowledge of ho w eddies interact
in the system is known.
In 2D fluids, one way in which eddies (which assume the more fam iliar label
“vortices” in 2D) interact with each other is through a proce ss known as “vortex
cannibalization”. A cannibalization event is when two neig hboring eddies of like
rotational sense merge to form a single larger eddy. When can nibalization occurs
energy flows out of the length scales of the initial eddies and into the length scale
of the final eddy. Since the final eddy is larger than the initia l ones, cannibalization
results in the flow of energy from small to large length scales .
In a 2D turbulent fluid, many eddies are generally created at a small length scale
called the energy injection scale, rinj. The expectation is that through interaction
by cannibalization these small eddies cluster and merge int o larger eddies. These
larger eddies are also expected to cluster and merge to form e ven larger eddies and so
on. This means that energy, initially injected into the turb ulence at the length scale
rinjshould gradually be moved by consecutive cannibalization e vents to larger length
scales. This type of energy motion constitutes an inverse en ergy cascade[1].
Using the eddy concept has the advantage of highlighting two important features
associated with the existence of an inverse energy cascade: scale invariance and local-
ity of interaction. The first of these can be understood by loo king again at Fig. 1.1(b)
which shows many smaller like signed eddies clustering to fo rm a single larger eddy.Chapter 1. Introduction 3
Presumably, the small eddies in the figure are themselves for med by the clustering
of even smaller eddies, which in turn are formed by even small er eddies. Likewise,
the large eddy cluster in the figure is most likely interactin g with other eddy clusters
in the system. As long as the eddies at the very smallest scale , the injection scale,
are being continuously created to replenish those which are cannibalized, the inverse
cascade range is scale-invariant. That is to say that no leng th scale in the inverse
cascade range can be distinguished from any other length sca le that is also in the
range. Scale invariance is exceedingly important from a the oretical stand point. The
assumption of scale invariance of fields, such as the probabi lity of velocity difference
on a length scale r, allow important predictions about turbulence to be made (s ee
chapter 5)[9].
Before discussing locality, a delicate point must be made. I f the eddies at the
injection length scale are not being continuously replenis hed then the number of
eddies at the smallest scales gradually begins to decrease a s more and more eddies
are lost to cannibalization events. To maintain an inverse c ascade range, then, the
turbulence has to be continuously forced. That is, eddies mu st be continuously created
at the energy injection scale. If the turbulence is not force d then the cascade range
will eventually consume itself from small scales up, ultima tely leading to a state
which can be described as a diffuse gas of large individual edd ies (eddies not made of
clusters of smaller eddies)[10, 11]. The term “coarsening” is used to describe decaying
2D turbulence’s behavior in order to distinguish it from the inverse energy cascade.
The second property assumed to hold in the inverse cascade is locality of interac-
tion. This property refers to constraints on the manner in wh ich eddies interact. If
an eddy of very small size is close to, or embedded in, an eddy o f exceedingly large
size, the small eddy will merely be swept along by the large ed dy and not strongly
deformed. Likewise the large eddy will not be significantly e ffected by it’s small com-
panion. Since neither of the eddies is strongly deformed, th e cannibalization process
is expected to happen over a long period of time, if at all[9]. On the other hand, two
neighboring eddies of similar size interact and deform one a nother strongly, and thus
the cannibalization happens swiftly. Energy transfer by ca nnibalization is therefore
most efficient when occurring between similarly sized length scales; this is what is
meant by locality. Due to locality, the kinetic energy at sma ll scales in the inverse
cascade is expected to be moved to large scales in a continuou s manner, stepping
through the intervening length scales by local interaction s rather than making largeChapter 1. Introduction 4
length scale jumps by the merger of a small and large eddy. Hen ce the term cascade.
The picture of 2D turbulence and it’s inverse cascade is now a lmost complete.
Energy is continually injected into a fluid in the form of smal l eddies. These small
eddies cluster to form large eddies moving energy to larger s cales. In turn the eddy
clusters themselves cluster to form larger clusters of eddy clusters, etcetera. It is
the etcetera that is of concern. At what point does the vortex merger process and
growth of larger and larger eddies stop? That is, how is the en ergy injected into a
2D turbulent fluid thermostated?
Consider first the thermostating mechanism in 3D turbulence . In 3D turbulence
there exists a direct energy cascade, where instead of energ y being moved from small
to large scales by eddy merger the opposite happens; energy i s moved from large
to small scales by eddy stretching (commonly called vortex s tretching). Eventually,
through continuous vortex stretching, a smallest eddy scal e is reached, at which point
the kinetic energy contained in these small eddies is dissip ated into heat by the fluids
internal viscosity. All of the energy that is injected into t he large length scales of a
3D turbulent fluid is eventually exhausted by viscosity at sm all length scales[9].
Internal viscosity is a short range force, only becoming a go od thermostat when
the kinetic energy reaches small length scales[9]. Thermos tating is not an issue in
3D where the direct cascade takes energy down to such small sc ales. In 2D, however,
the inverse cascade moves energy away from small scales. The refore viscosity has
no chance to exhaust the injected energy. An ideal 2D turbule nt fluid driven to a
state of turbulence with a continuous forcing would never be in a steady state since
the total energy in the flow would continue to build up as large r and larger eddies
form[12]. What is needed to maintain 2D forced turbulence in a steady state and stop
the inverse cascade process is some sort of external dissipa tion mechanism which is
an effective thermostat at large length scales. In other word s, some sort of dissipation
mechanism that is not internal to the fluid itself must exist t o take energy out of large
length scales and dictate the largest size eddies that can be formed by the cascade.
Fortunately, 2D experiments are almost always coupled to th e surrounding 3D
environment by frictional forces[13, 14, 7]. In these exper iments this external fric-
tional force provide the turbulence with an effective large s cale thermostat and sets
the largest length scales which can be reached by the inverse cascade process. The
inclusion of an external thermostat completes this phenome nological description of
the inverse energy cascade.Chapter 1. Introduction 5
1.2 History of Experiments
Laboratory experiments which have attempted to probe the in verse energy cascade
of 2D turbulence fall into two major categories: soap films an d stratified shallow
layers of fluid. The soap film experiments in 2D fluid mechanics were initiated by
Couder in the early 1980’s[15]. This early work investigate d coarse features of both
2D turbulence and 2D hydrodynamics. Further attempts at usi ng the soap film to
measure 2D turbulence in the search for an inverse cascade we re done by Gharib and
Derango a few years later[16]. The experimental system that was used by Gharib
and Derango, called a soap film tunnel, was later perfected by Kellay et al.[17] and
Rutgers et al.[14].
The soap film tunnel is a 2D equivalent of the wind tunnel, whic h is the mainstay
of 3D turbulence research. The manner in which turbulence is created in each is
identical. A grid, or some other obstacle, is placed in the pa th of a swiftly moving
mean flow. If the flow speed is fast enough, the fluid becomes tur bulent downstream
from the grid. Such 2D and 3D tunnels are shown in Fig. 1.2. Soa p film tunnels would
seem to be ideal 2D fluids for performing turbulence research in because their aspect
ratios are exceedingly large (many cm across to a few microme ters thick) and thus the
fluid flow is almost entirely two-dimensional. There are, how ever, difficulties inherent
in the use of soap films. For example thin films couple strongly to the air and the
magnitude of their internal viscosity is large compared to t hat of water. For the most
part these difficulties are thought to be mitigated by clever e xperimental techniques,
such as the use of vacuum chambers[14] or by using thick ( ≈10µm) films[11].
Every attempt to study the inverse energy cascade in a 2D soap film tunnel with
the configuration shown in Fig. 1.2 has met with failure. This is not a disparaging
comment about the researchers involved in the effort. Indeed their considerable skill
eventually tamed the delicate and whimsical soap films into a useful experimental
system. The lack of inverse cascade in these systems reflects the fact that the con-
figuration shown in Fig. 1.2 creates decaying 2D turbulence. The eddies that are
injected at the grid are not replenished as the fluid moves dow nstream. By the dis-
cussion in the last section this means that the system does no t have the ability to
form the eddy clusters that is expected of an inverse cascade .
Once the understanding that 2D turbulence needs to be forced for an inverse
cascade to be present was reached, the film tunnel design was m odified to createChapter 1. Introduction 6
Figure 1.2: A 3D wind tunnel creating turbulence and it’s 2D e quivalent: the soap
film tunnel
forced turbulence[6]. The design of the film tunnel is identi cal to that shown before
except for the orientation of the turbulence producing grid . Instead of having a single
grid oriented perpendicular to the flow direction, two grids were oriented at angles
to the flow direction so that they formed two sides of a triangl e with the tip of the
triangle oriented upstream. This modified form is shown in Fi g. 1.3. An area of
forced turbulence exists in the interior between the two gri ds since it is here that
vortices created at the grids are able to diffuse into the inte rior and replenish those
lost to cannibalization.
Though certain properties of the inverse cascade can be inve stigated with such
a modified film tunnel, the setup is not ideal because the turbu lence it creates is
inhomogeneous. One can imagine that the fluctuation in the dr iven turbulence area
near the grids are quite large compared to those in the interi or. Homogeneity is a
critical simplifying assumption in almost all areas of turb ulence theory. The inhomo-
geneity of the modified film tunnel, then, has devastating con sequences with regard
to comparing results with theory. A more ideal setup would in volve the injection of
vortices directly into the body of the fluid by some sort of ext ernal force, rather than
injecting from the boundaries. This is a difficult task to do in soap film tunnels.
A system which does achieve such an injection of vortices fal ls into the second class
of 2D turbulence experiments: stratified shallow layers of fl uid. For the most part, theChapter 1. Introduction 7

use of such layers in turbulence research has been pioneered by Tabeling and others
in the early 1990’s. A successful observation of an inverse c ascade regime was reached
a few years later by the same group[18]. The stratified shallo w layer apparatus, as
it’s name suggest, suspends a layer of pure water, above a hig her density layer of salt
water. The layers in question are only a few millimeters thic k, and the area tends to
be on the order of ten centimeters so that the aspect ratio, wh ile not nearing that of
soap films, is still large. The salt water layer is subject to a current flowing in it’s
plane, and placed in a spatially varying magnetic field. The r esultant Lorentz force
acts directly on the fluid layer driving it to a state of turbul ence. Stratification helps
to impose a measure of two-dimensionality to the fluctuation s, thus one has 2D forced
turbulence.
Note that in this system the force is acting directly on the flu id, unlike the modi-
fied film tunnel where forcing happened near the grid. This res tores homogeneity to
the system, allowing accurate comparison with theory. The p lace that shallow layers
suffer is in their approximation of a two-dimensional fluid. T he bottom of the fluid
container in shallow layer systems enforces a no slip bounda ry on the lower surface
of the fluid. If the velocity in the fluid becomes large, a stron g shearing can develop
between the upper and lower layers of fluid. This inevitably c auses mixing which
destroys the stratification and sacrifices two-dimensional ity. Thus, shallow layer sys-
tems are severely limited in the strength of the turbulent flu ctuations which they can
successfully explore.Chapter 1. Introduction 8
This brief experimental history, then, shows that there hav e been two systems used
to investigate the inverse cascade, neither of which are ide al. However, each system
complements the others difficulties almost perfectly. Film t unnels are great 2D fluids,
but not easily forced homogeneously. Stratified layers are m arginal 2D fluids, but
easily forced homogeneously. What is needed then, as an idea l test apparatus for the
inverse cascade, is a combination of these two systems that t akes advantage of their
benefits without inheriting their difficulties. What is neede d is the electromagnetically
forced soap film, simply called the e-m cell.
1.3 Thesis Overview
This thesis presents an experimental study of the inverse en ergy cascade as it occurs
in an electromagnetically forced soap film. In particular it focuses on characterizing
important features of the inverse cascade such as it’s range , how energy is distributed
over the range and how energy flows through the range. The thes is also probes the
assumption of scale invariance that is associated with the e xistence of an inverse
cascade.
Chapter 2 describes the workings of the e-m cell and measurem ent apparatus. The
basic design and implementation of the e-m cell is reviewed i n the first two sections.
How the frictional coupling of the soap film to the air is contr olled is described in the
following section. The fourth section explains certain lim itations on apparatus size
that are imposed by the existence of gravity. This size const raint is one of the chief
difficulties that limit results throughout the rest of the the sis. The fifth section in
the chapter is an overview of the measurement system that was developed to extract
velocity information from the e-m cell. The chapter is concl uded with a brief overview
of the operation of the e-m cell.
Chapter 3 is a systematic check that the e-m cell does behave a s a 2D fluid.
The first section motivates the need for this test and the seco nd derives the relevant
mathematical relationships necessary for such a test. The t hird section compares the
data from the cell to these derived relationships to verify t hat the e-m cell behaves as a
2D fluid. This section also establishes a model for the extern al dissipation mechanism
in the e-m cell. A self consistency check is also performed to help strengthen this
verification.
Chapter 4 begins the systematic investigation of the proper ties of the inverseChapter 1. Introduction 9
energy cascade. The extent of the range and how energy is dist ributed over this
range is measured and presented in the first section. The mann er of energy transfer
is described in the following section. In particular, this s econd section attempts to
determine if the energy flow is “inertial”, a property which i s necessary if one wants
results which are universal to all 2D turbulence systems.
Finally, chapter 5 attempts to determine if the inverse casc ade is scale invariant.
Predictions for structure functions in a scale invariant flu id are presented in the first
section. The next two sections attempt to extend results fro m the e-m cell to test these
predictions, as well as explain why one should be critical of such extensions. While
conclusions presented in earlier chapters are quite strong , the conclusions drawn in
this chapter are weak. This weakness stems from the size limi tations presented in
chapter 2 and can not be overcome in the current apparatus.Chapter 2
The E-M Cell
A fluid which carries a current density, ⊳vectorJ, in the presence of a magnetic field, ⊳vectorB, is
subject to a force per unit mass ⊳vectorF=⊳vectorJ×⊳vectorBwhich drives fluid motion. This principle
has been used in earlier experiments to excite motion in shal low layers of electrolytic
fluid[5, 19], and the techniques used in these experiments ma y be readily adapted
for use in soap films. The result of such adaptation is the elec tromagnetically forced
soap film, called briefly an e-m cell. The e-m cell is a useful to ol in the study of 2D
hydrodynamics, and in particular 2D turbulence[7]. This ch apter reviews the design
and operation of the e-m cell, as well as the measurement tech nique used to obtain
velocity data from it.
2.1 The E-M Cell
The main component of the e-m cell is a free standing soap film d rawn from an
electrolytic soap solution across a square frame. The frame has two opposing sides
made from stainless steel, while the remaining sides are con structed from plastic or
glass. A voltage difference applied to the stainless steel si des results in a current
which lies in the plane of the film. A spatially varying extern al magnetic field is
then created and oriented so that it penetrates the film plane perpendicularly. The
resulting Lorentz force lies in the plane of the film and drive s the fluid motion. A
diagram of this is shown in Fig. 2.1.
The electrolytic soap solution which the film is drawn from is made from 400 ml
distilled water, 80 g ammonium chloride salt, 40 ml glycerol and 5 ml commercial
liquid detergent (regular Dawn or Joy). To this solution par ticles are added up to a
10Chapter 2. The E-M Cell 11

volume fraction of about 10−3. These particles, either 10 µm hollow glass spheres or
lycopodium mushroom spores which appear as ∼40µm particles, are of a density
comparable to the soap solution so that they closely follow t he surrounding flow.
These particles will be used in the measurement technique to be described later. The
salt used to make the solution electrolytic, ammonium chlor ide, was chosen after
numerous trials which included sodium chloride and potassi um chloride. Ammonium
chloride was chosen because high concentrations could be re ached with little effect
on the stability of the film. This was found not to be the case wi th potassium or
sodium chloride. High concentrations of salt are necessary to keep the films electrical
resistance as small as possible. This limits film evaporatio n due to Joule heating
caused by the driving current, a necessity if a film is to be stu died for long periods of
time.
The soap film, once drawn, is maintained at a thickness of arou nd 50 µm. Earlier
soap film work tended to use thin films with thicknesses of 5 µm or less. There are a
number of advantages that come from using thick films. First, for the e-m cell, it is
desirable to keep the electrical resistance low, again to li mit evaporation due to Joule
heating. The larger the cross sectional area through which t he current is passed, then,
the better. Another reason to use thick films is that they lose a smaller percentage of
their energy than thin films to frictional rubbing against th e surrounding air. Recall
from chapter 1 that 2D driven turbulence requires an externa l dissipation mechanism
to maintain energy balance. Air friction plays this role in t he e-m cell. If the air
friction is strong then it can easily dissipate large amount s of energy. Therefore
the energy injected from the electromagnetic force must be e xceptionally high to
maintain a state of strong turbulence. This would require la rge currents which wouldChapter 2. The E-M Cell 12
enhance the Joule heating and evaporation of the film. Using t hick films reduces
this coupling to the air and allows strong turbulence to be ma intained for reasonable
values of the driving current. A final reason for using thick fi lms arises from the
observation that a soap films kinematic viscosity, ν, is dependent on it’s thickness.
Trapeznikov predicted that the effective kinematic viscosi ty should depend on the
thickness, h, asν=νbulk+2νsurf/h, where νbulkis the kinematic viscosity of the soap
solution and νsurfis the 2D viscosity due to the soap film surfaces[20]. The surf ace
viscosity was recently measured1to be around νsurf≈1.5×10−5cm3/s for soap films
similar to that in the e-m cell[21]. Since the soap solution’ s viscosity is .01 cm2/s the
effective viscosity of a 50 µm thick soap film is approximately 0 .016 cm2/s. Using
thick films, then, reduces the amount of energy lost to viscou s dissipation, and by the
same argument given above, allows strong turbulence to be ma intained for reasonable
values of driving current.
There are, of course, disadvantages to the use of thick soap fi lms. One is that
the speed of a 2D density wave in the soap film is dependent on th e thickness of the
film2. Thicker films contain more interstitial fluid than thin films , and therefore have
a lower wave velocity due to their increased mass. Therefore , as the film becomes
thicker it begins to be more easily compressed. That is to say that it’s 2D density
couples more strongly to the velocity field in the film. A measu re of the importance
of such compressibility effects is the Mach number M=urms/c, where cis the density
wave speed in the medium. In the case of a 50 µm thick film the wave velocity is
approximately 2 m/s. Velocity fluctuations in the e-m cell ar e therefore kept less
than 20 cm/s so that M <0.1. With such a small Mach number the system does not
develop shock waves and behaves approximately as an incompr essible fluid.
As noted earlier, Joule heating evaporates fluid from the film . This causes the
average thickness of the soap film to change over time. Since t hick films were used to
minimize this effect, thickness changes due to evaporation h appen at a slow rate and
can be balanced by injecting small amounts of fluid into the fil m. In the e-m cell, soap
solution is injected by a syringe pump through a small needle inserted through the
plastic side of the frame as in Fig. 2.2. It is important that t he fluid be burst in, as

a brief jet, and not slowly injected. Without initial moment um, fluid builds up near
the injection point forming a droplet which eventually pops the film. Fluid injected
with a burst shoots to the center of the e-m cell where it is qui ckly mixed into the
film replenishing the lost fluid. Though not used in the experi ments reported here,
this process can be automated by monitoring the film resistan ce. When the resistance
becomes to high a small burst of fluid is shot into the film raisi ng the thickness and
lowering the resistance to an acceptable level.
The square frame that the film is drawn across is limited in siz e to 7 ×7 cm2in
all of the experiments reported here for reasons which will b e made clear later. Both
the stainless steel and plastic sides are milled to a sharp ed ge of about 45◦, though
the stainless steel edge generally dulls over time by corros ion. Recent efforts have
attempted to replace these edges with sheets of stainless st eel and glass that are less
than 100 µm thick. The intent of this is to limit the size of the wetting r egion near
the edge of the frame, as shown in Fig. 2.3. Since the film has a fi nite surface tension,
there must be a pressure jump across the film surface if it is cu rved. A wetting region
induces a negative curvature near the edge of the frame, ther efore the pressure inside
the film near the frame edge is less than at the film center where there is no curvature.
This causes fluid to be forced through the film to the edges, cau sing the center of
the film to drain. Elimination of these wetting regions elimi nates such drainage.
This effect is relatively weak compared to other effects which cause drainage so using
sheets instead of edges is a low priority, sheets being difficu lt to work with due to
their delicacy. All experiments reported in this thesis use edges instead of thin sheets.
However, the preliminary work with sheets which is not repor ted here has provided
encouraging early results.

cm2frame results in resistance values of around 1 kΩ. Driving cu rrents of between 10
and 45 mA are used depending on the strength of turbulence des ired, strength of the
air dissipation, and strength of externally applied magnet ic field. In all turbulence
experiments, the applied voltage oscillates at 3 Hz with a sq uare waveform. There are
several reasons for this, one is that the current in the film ca uses chlorine gas bubbles
to accumulate on the positive electrode. By oscillating the current, the bubbles form
at both electrodes, slowing the inevitable bubble build up w hich eventually invades
the film and renders it useless. Another reason for current os cillation is to eliminate
the formation of large vortices which form and dominate regi ons of the fluid containing
a force field which is sympathetic to it’s motion. Once formed , such structures induce
a spatially varying mean flow, and thus a mean shear, renderin g the turbulence in
the e-m cell inhomogeneous.3
A final note: due to the configuration of the e-m cell, the curre nt which is driven in
the plane of the film is unidirectional, namely parallel to th e plastic edges of the frame
running from one electrode to another. For the rest of the pap er the current direction
will be assumed to lie along the yaxis. By the Lorentz law, this unidirectional
3Oscillating the current may also eliminate any polarizatio n of charge in the e-m cell caused by
the net motion of ions in the fluid. At this time it is unclear wh ether this polarization is important
in the e-m cell. Experiments done in both laminar and turbule nt flow with D.C. forcing do not
exhibit signs of charge polarization, such as the gradual de crease in applied force due to shielding of
the electrodes. However, these experiments where done over short (minutes) time scale. What effect
polarization may have over a typical experiment time scale ( around fifteen minutes) is unknown
since such effects are masked by the effects of evaporation.Chapter 2. The E-M Cell 15

current creates a unidirectional electromagnetic force wh ich lies on the xaxis. Due to
this unidirectionality, the e-m cell can not behave isotrop ically, that is the system is
not rotationally invariant, regardless of the symmetry of t he spatial variation of the
magnetic field. This lack of isotropy will be an exceedingly i mportant consideration
later in the thesis.
2.2 The Magnet Array
The spatially varying magnetic field used in the creation of t he Lorentz force is gen-
erated by an array of Neodymium rare earth magnets (NdFeB) pl aced just below the
film as shown in Fig. 2.4. These magnets produce quite powerfu l fields, typically on
the order of 0 .1 T at their surface. This field decays away from the surface, h owever,
with a typical length scale of the order of the magnet size. Si nce the magnets are
small, generally less than 0 .5 mm, they must be brought very close to the film surface
to generate fields strong enough to drive flow. One could use la rger magnets to induce
motion. This is undesirable, though, since the magnet size d ictates the energy injec-
tion scale, rinj. Recall from the discussion in chapter 1 that rinjmust be significantly
smaller than the system size for an inverse cascade region to exist in an experimental
2D turbulence system. For the e-m cell described above, the s ystem size is the frame
size, which is limited to 7 cm. Therefore magnet arrays with i njection scales less than
0.7 cm must be used to allow for a decade of inverse cascade range .
Several types of magnet arrays are used in the e-m cell, each d istinguished by the
type of flow it induces at small Reynolds number (it’s laminar behavior) or equiva-
lently by the characteristics of the force field it produces i n the e-m cell. The first type
of array, and by far the most important, is the Kolmogorov arr ay. This array is madeChapter 2. The E-M Cell 16

of alternating north-south layers of long rectangular magn ets of approximately 0 .3
cm in width, as shown in Fig. 2.5 a. The magnetic field it produc es in the film varies
approximately sinusoidally in space. The magnets are orien ted so that this variation
lies in the direction of the current, causing the Lorentz for ce in the film to have the
formFx=f0sin(k0y) (Recall Fy= 0 because the force is unidirectional). Two mag-
nets make a single north-south oscillation, therefore the w avelength of the sinusoidal
variations in the force field (which is the energy injection s cale) is rinj= 0.6 cm. The
associated injection wavenumber is k0= 2π/rinj= 10 cm−1. The laminar flow this
forcing produces is one of alternating shear layers, a flow wh ich Kolmogorov proposed
investigating as an interesting model to study a fluids trans ition from laminar to tur-
bulent motion (hence the name). The Kolmogorov array has sev eral properties which
will be of importance in later analysis. The first is that the f orcing is divergence free,
i.e.⊳vector∇ ·⊳vectorF= 0. This property will allow pressure fields to be approximat ed from
velocity fields using Fourier techniques. Another property of importance is that the
forcing is invariant to translation along the ˆ xdirection. Chapter 3 will demonstrate
how this property may be used to obtain the energy injection r ate from the forcing
without having to explicitly measure the magnitude of the fo rcingf0.
The next type of magnet array, shown in Fig. 2.5 b, is called th e square array.
It is made of round magnets oriented in a tick-tack-toe arran gement with like poled
magnets along diagonals. There are two such arrays in the e-m cell arsenal made
from 0 .3 cm and 0 .6 cm magnets. The force field created by these arrays has the fo rm
Fx=f0(sin(k0(x+y)) +sin(k0(x−y))). Here the wavelength along the diagonals
isrinj=√
2wwhere wis the magnet diameter, and again k0= 2π/rinj. The 0 .3 cm
square array has the smallest injection scale of all the arra ys used with rinj= 0.42
cm. Unfortunately these magnets are exceptionally weak, li miting the magnitude of
the forcing one can create with reasonable currents. Also, t he forcing created by these
arrays are not divergence free. Without the ability to accou nt for pressure much the
usefulness of this array is limited to testing ideas of unive rsality (Chapter 5).
The final two arrays are seldom used and are mentioned here onl y for completeness.
The first, shown in Fig. 2.5 c, is a stretched hexagonal array, called the hex array,
and the second, shown in Fig. 2.5 d, is a pseudo-random array. The former is
constructed from a mixture of both 0 .3 cm round and 0 .6 cm round magnets. The
result could be though of as a Kolmogorov flow with a periodic v ariation along every
other magnet. The injection wavenumber associated with thi s array is quite large,Chapter 2. The E-M Cell 18

limiting it’s usefulness. The laminar behavior a hex array p roduces is a triangular
vortex crystal. The pseudo-random array is constructed fro m 0.3 cm round magnets
placed at random on an iron sheet. The positions of the magnet s where generated
via a random number generator which attempted to maximize th e magnet density.
It was constructed in a naive attempt to obtain more homogeno us turbulence in the
e-m cell. The pseudo-random flow has no well-defined laminar fl ow behavior.
2.3 External Dissipation: The Air Friction
The air friction has already been described as the external d issipation mechanism
in the e-m cell. Chapter 3 will demonstrate that the air frict ion can be adequately
modeled as a linear friction, that is if an element of the film i s moving with velocity
⊳vector uit experiences a drag force from the air of the form ⊳vectorFdrag=−α⊳vector u. The following
discussion sets the basis for this linear drag model.
A fluid between two parallel plates separated in the x2direction by a small distance
d, one fixed and the other moving with velocity Uin the x1direction, assumes a linear
profile of the form, u1=Ux2/d(This assumes there are no other forces acting on
the fluid, the plates are infinite and boundary conditions are no slip at either plate).
This is shown in Fig. 2.6. The drag force per unit area exerted on the top plate by
the fluid is fdrag=η∂u1
∂x2|d=ηU
dwhere ηis the ordinary 3D shear viscosity of the fluid
between the plates. In the e-m cell the role of the top plate is played by the soap
film, while the role of the lower plate is played by the magnet a rray. The fluid is the
surrounding air and the length dis just the distance of the magnets to the film. Thus
raising the magnets closer to the film increases the strength of the air drag in the e-m
cell.Chapter 2. The E-M Cell 19
The drag force must be normalized by the films 2D density so tha t the force per
unit mass can be considered. The 2D density of the film is given byρhwhere ρis
the density of the soap solution (about that of water) and his the films thickness.
The force per unit mass caused by the air drag on the film is then ⊳vectorFdrag=−η
ρhd⊳vector u.
This demonstrates a point that was made earlier in this chapt er, that the frictional
coupling to the air depends not only on the magnet-film distan ce but on the thickness
of the soap film as well. Keeping the film as thick as possible, t hen, minimizes this
coupling.
There are a couple of reasons to worry about the applicabilit y of this linear friction
model. First is that the soap film in the e-m cell is not an infini te flat plate moving
with a constant velocity, but has a velocity which fluctuates from point to point in
the flow. As long as the size of these velocity fluctuations, th at is the size of the
vortices, is larger than both the magnet-film distance, d, and the film thickness, h,
the approximation as an infinite plate should apply. Recall f rom the discussion above
that the magnetic field created by the array quickly decays wi thin the width of a
single magnet. Therefore the magnets are always kept within one magnet width of
the film, otherwise the magnetic field would be too weak to driv e turbulence. Since
the magnet width also dictates the smallest vortex size, rinj, the requirement that
d < r injis always met in the e-m cell.
The second complication is the fact that there is more than on e side to the film.
The linear drag model accounts for the drag force exerted on t he lower surface of the
soap film. The upper surface of the film is also dragging along a layer of air. The
velocity profile of the air above the film is not a simple linear shear as it is below the
film, but a more complex Prandtl-like boundary layer due to th e absence of a second
fixed plate. Chapter 4 will show that this causes a non-neglig ible correction to the
above linear drag model.
2.4 Gravity
To this point there has been no discussion about the orientat ion of the soap film
with respect to the earth’s gravitational field. Vertical or ientation, that is the film
plane lying along the gravitational field direction, is not d esirable because it would
strongly stratify the soap film, making it thinner on top than on the bottom. This
is tantamount to both a severe change in the 2D density and a ch ange in the filmsChapter 2. The E-M Cell 20

line. A box enclosing the top of the e-m cell frame is brought t o a lower pressure than
the surrounding environment to balance gravity.
kinematic viscosity from the top of the film to the bottom. In o ther words the film
becomes an inhomogeneous fluid. Vertical orientation must t herefore be discarded
and a horizontal orientation used to allow the film to approxi mate a homogenous
fluid.
A horizontally oriented soap film droops under the force of th e earth’s gravitational
field. This effect is exacerbated by the fact that the film is 50 µm thick. To balance
gravity, a box enclosing the region on the top surface of the s oap film is evacuated
of a small amount of air, as in Fig. 2.7. This lowers the pressu re in the box causing
a pressure gradient across the film plane and thus a force oppo sing gravity. Enough
pressure is drawn to almost exactly balance the gravitation al field. Unfortunately the
larger the soap film, the more delicate this balance becomes. This is the reason that
soap films used in the e-m cell are limited to sizes under 7 ×7 cm.
This pressure balance is delicate and can be disrupted by the evaporation of fluid
from the soap film into the container above the film. It must be c onstantly monitored
to make sure that the film stays at the same level. This is done i n the e-m cell by
reflecting a laser light off a portion of the film near the middle of one of the edges.
A drooping film deflects the beam, and this deflection can be mon itored by various
techniques, for example using a position sensitive detecto r or a linear CCD array. A
feedback loop based on the deflection measurement can be easi ly constructed and film
level kept steady, even for high current and large amounts of evaporation.Chapter 2. The E-M Cell 21
2.5 Particle Tracking Velocimetry
Velocity information is obtained from the e-m cell using a pa rticle tracking method
(PTV) which is similar to the standard technique known as par ticle imaging velocime-
try (PIV). The PIV technique uses a camera to capture images o f small particles that
seed the fluid flow. Two consecutive images are separated in ti me by a small amount
∆t. These images are sectioned into small regions by a discrete grid. Corresponding
regions from the two consecutive images are compared to obta in the average motion
⊳vector∆xof the particles in that region over the time ∆ t. Each region is then assigned
a velocity vector ⊳vector u=⊳vector∆x/∆t, yielding an entire velocity field on a grid. There are
many papers and review articles which describe the PIV techn ique [11, 22, 23, 24],
interested readers should refer to these for a complete desc ription.
Where PIV attempts to track the average displacement of a num ber of particles
(usually around 10) in a square region formed by a grid, PTV at tempts to determine
the displacement of individual particles. This allows PTV t o obtain finer spatial
resolution than PIV. Equivalently one could say that PTV has higher vector density.
Since the algorithms used in PTV and PIV to determine transla tion are identical
it might be expected that this increased resolution comes on ly with increased noise.
This is not the case, however, because PTV has a built-in self correction that allows
noise to be suppressed. There is one sacrifice though. Since P TV attempts to track
individual particles the technique is much more sensitive t o particles leaving the
measurement volume than PIV. This is not a issue in 2D flows suc h as are studied
here (except near the boundaries of the images), though in 3D it could be a significant
problem. A copy of the PTV program is listed in Appendix A.
There are three main steps to PTV by which one goes from CCD ima ges of
particles to velocity information: particle identificatio n, neighborhood comparison,
and matching. Before going into these, the manner in which im ages are acquired
should be described. As stated earlier the soap film in the e-m cell is seeded with
small particles. These particles are illuminated by two pul sed Nd:Yag lasers that
yield 12 mJ of energy per nano-second pulse. Images of the par ticles illuminated by
the lasers are obtained using a 30 Hz, 8 bit CCD camera of resol ution 768 ×480
rectangular pixels with aspect ratio 1 : 1 .17. The lasers are slaved to the camera so
that the first Nd:Yag laser pulses at the end of the first image a nd the second laser
pulses a time ∆ tlater in the second image. In this manner two images of partic lesChapter 2. The E-M Cell 22

and Frame 2 denote a single PTV image pair from which velocity fields are extracted.
separated by time ∆ tare obtained on a camera with a fixed time resolution of .03
ms. This timing is shown in Fig. 2.8.
To determine the positions of the particles in the flow the bac kground of each
image must be subtracted off. There are many routines by which one can do this; in
this thesis a high pass filter is used since the particles are s patially small compared
to the image size. Once the background is subtracted the part icles in each image are
found by an exhaustive nearest neighbor searching algorith ms. If the ( i, j) pixel is
found to be non-zero then this serves as the base of a particle group. The four pixels
at (i+ 1, j), (i−1, j),(i, j+ 1), and ( i, j−1) are said to neighbor the base pixel, and
any of these which are non-zero are added to the group. Any nei ghbor of a pixel in
the group is then considered, and if it is non-zero and not alr eady part of the group,
it is added to the group. This process continues until no pixe ls are being added to
the group. The final group of non-zero pixels is called a parti cle. This process is
performed until all non-zero pixels in each image are accoun ted for in a particle. In
what follows the particles in the first image will be indexed b yaand those in the
second image by b.
This manner of finding a particle does not distinguish betwee n an individual par-
ticle and particles that are so close together that they form a continuous image on the
CCD camera. Since the turbulence in the e-m cell is only mildl y compressible, par-
ticles which start initially very close should stay close ov er the short period of time,
∆t, between laser flashes. The indistinguishability, then, sh ould not be an issue.
There are three quantities which need to be determined for ea ch particle: it’sChapter 2. The E-M Cell 23
centroid, pixel centroid and size. The centroid is the cente r of the group of pixels
which make the particle weighted by the intensity, I(z)
(i,j), of the pixels in the group (z
denotes the image). If there are N pixels, indexed by n, in the pixel group of particle
ain image one, then the centroid, ( x(a)
c, y(a)
c), is given by:
(x(a)
c, y(a)
c)≡/summationtextN
n=1(i(n), j(n))I(1)
(i(n),j(n))
/summationtextN
n=1I(1)
(i(n),j(n)).
Note that where the pixels themselves are discretized on a fin ite grid, the center of
mass of a particle need not be if there is more than one pixel co ntained in it’s group.
This phenomenon is called sub-pixel resolution since it all ows particle position to be
tracked with a resolution finer than the pixel size of the came ra. Sub-pixel resolution
can be used to enhance the dynamic range of PTV measurement, t hough it is not
relied upon for results in this thesis. The pixel centroid of particle ais defined as the
nearest pixel to the particles centroid, and will be denoted as (x(a), y(a)). Finally the
size of particle ais simply the 2ndmoment of the intensity distribution given by
R(a)≡

c)2)I(1)
(i(n),j(n))

n=1I(1)
(i(n),j(n))
1/2
.
The particle size is used as a filter to discard particles whic h are too big or too small.
Once particles have been identified the challenge is to track them from one image
to the next. This is done by comparing the regions surroundin g particles in the first
image with regions around particles in the second to establi sh how well they correlate.
For particle ain the first image and bin the second image the correlation number ca,b
is determined by
ca,b=/summationtextl
m=−l/summationtextl
n=−l˜I(1)

((x(b)+m),(y(b)+n)))2)1/2.
In the above 2 lis called the correlation box size. The intensities, ˜I(z)
i,j, used in deter-
mining the correlation number are the intensities of the ima gesI(z)
i,jless their average
over their respective correlation boxes so that ca,bassumes a value between −1 and
1. If the correlation number is close to 1 then the region arou nd particle ais similar
to the region around particle b. The closer to 1 the more similar the regions.
One need not compare all particles in the first image to all par ticles in the second.
Only a subset of particles within a certain distance of one an other need be considered.Chapter 2. The E-M Cell 24
That is if a particle ais found at ( x(a)
c, y(a)
c) in the first frame and bis at ( x(b)
c, y(b)
c) in
the second, their correlation number need only be calculate d if ((x(a)−x(b))2+(y(a)−
y(b))2)1/2< s, where sis some reasonable threshold displacement based on the RMS
velocity fluctuations and flash spacing.
Once all the particle comparisons have been performed, one n eed only match
particles in the first frame to those in the second. This is don e by an iterative mutual
maxima technique. Look at correlation number ca,band determine if it is above some
initial threshold climit. If it is, then look to see if ca,bis the maximum correlation
value for both particle aand particle b. That is make sure ca,b> ca,xfor any x∝negationslash=b
andca,b> cy,bfor any y∝negationslash=a. If so then then ca,bis the mutual maximum for particles
aandband they are considered a match. Thus particle ahas moved from position
(x(a)
c, y(a)
c) in the first frame to ( x(b)
c, y(b)
c) in the second. The fact that we have checked
that not only is particle athe best fit for b, but that bis best fit by ais the self-
correction that PTV has that PIV does not (PIV can only check t hatais best for b),
and the reason that PTV can achieve higher vector density wit hout much sacrifice in
velocity resolution.
Once matched these particles and their correlation numbers are removed from
consideration. This is done for all correlation numbers abo veclimit, and all mutual
maxima are obtained in this way. The climitis then lowered slightly and the procedure
performed over all particles which have not already been mat ched. This is done until
climithits some specified lowest bound and the particles which have not been matched
at this point are discarded.
This leaves a final list of particles which have been tracked f rom a point in the
first image to a point in the second. The average velocity of th e particle is determined
by the motion of it’s center of mass. This velocity is assigne d to the average particle
position. This yields a field of average velocities which is t he final field from the PTV
technique. These fields are generally interpolated to a finit e grid (binned) so that
derivatives may be taken. This interpolation can be perform ed by any number of
weighted averaging techniques.
2.6 Cell Operation
This section describes the procedure that was used to employ the features of the e-m
cell described above. First a marginally thick film is pulled across the square frame.Chapter 2. The E-M Cell 25
The plastic edges of the frame are dried to remove any fluid bri dges that might short
the electrical current. A small amount of air is removed from the box until the film
is just level to the eye. This film is then placed above the magn et array and a mixing
current, generally around 15 mA, is turned on. The feedback l oops to inject fluid and
pressure balance the film are initiated. After a balance is re ached the magnets are
raised (or lowered) to the desired level, and the current is a djusted until the target
urmsis reached. Particle images are then acquired at a rate on the order of a few Hz
until a large number (between 500-1000) image pairs are obta ined. These pairs are
then interrogated using the PTV algorithm to obtain velocit y information.Chapter 3
Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell
A frustrating problem that arises when soap films are used as a n experimental system
for studying 2D fluid dynamics is the lack of direct evidence t hat these films obey the
2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equation,

In the above equations uiis the ithcomponent of the fluid’s velocity field, pis the
internal pressure field normalized by fluid density, and Fext
irepresents the ithcompo-
nent of any external force field (per unit mass) acting on the fl uid. The constant ν
is the fluid’s kinematic viscosity. Einstein summation conv ention is used, and will be
used throughout the thesis unless otherwise noted. These eq uations are the governing
equations for the time evolution of the velocity field of an in compressible fluid. If the
soap film does not obey this equation then it is not behaving as an incompressible
Navier-Stokes fluid and is therefore useless as a system for s tandard turbulence in-
vestigations. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate that the e-m cell does
indeed approximate a 2D Navier-Stokes fluid.
3.1 Introduction
There are a number of reasons to be skeptical about soap films b ehaving as an in-
compressible Navier-Stokes fluids. Most of the problems ari se from the presence of
26Chapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 27
Figure 3.1: Thin film interference fringes demonstrate that the thickness of the soap
film in the e-m cell is not constant but varies from point to poi nt in the flow.
thickness fluctuations which are caused by the motion of the fi lm. Such thickness
fluctuations can be imaged using thin film interference as in F ig. 3.1 and are indica-
tive of compressibility in the soap film. Compressibility co nstitutes a failure of Eq.
3.2 in soap films. This has already been discussed somewhat in chapter 2 where it
was implied that keeping the Mach number small eliminates th is problem. This is
a little misleading; a small Mach number does not mean that th ere are no thickness
fluctuations. Rather it means that the thickness fluctuation s do not develop shock
fronts and vary in a smooth manner from point to point in the flo w. In the range
of Mach number present in the e-m cell the thickness fluctuati ons tend to be around
20% the mean thickness of the film [11]. One would like to deter mine if this is small
enough to allow Eq. 3.2 to hold approximately.
Aside from the incompressibility issue, thickness fluctuat ions could cause soap
films to deviate from a Navier-Stokes fluid in a more sinister w ay. Recall from the
discussion in chapter 2 that the kinematic viscosity of the s oap film, ν, is dependent
on thickness. Since the film thickness varies from point to po int in the flow, so shouldChapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 28
the effective viscosity of the fluid. These thickness fluctuat ions respond to velocity
gradients in the film, therefore the viscosity is dependent o n the local shear rate. A
fluid with such a shear dependent viscosity is said to be non-N ewtonian and does not
obey Eq. 3.1. Here again one would like to determine if the vis cosity fluctuations are
small enough to be considered negligible and Eq. 3.1 to hold a pproximately.
Another problem when dealing with soap films is the external f rictional coupling to
the air. It’s presence is important to attain an energy balan ce in 2D forced turbulence,
as discussed in chapter 1. Indeed its strength and form shoul d dictate the outer scale
of the turbulence and affect energy transfer at large scales. Because of its importance
the effects of this coupling must be modeled and tested. The si mplest model of the
frictional effects of the air is to assume it acts as a linear dr ag on the film. Therefore
the external force field Fext
iacting on the e-m cell can be broken into two parts, the
Lorentz force caused by current and magnetic field, Fi, and the air drag Fair
i=−αui.
The constant αrepresents the strength of the frictional coupling of the ai r to the film.
This model must be tested if it is to be used in later investiga tions.
Though a direct test of the Navier-Stokes equations by inver se methods is not
easily performed, it is possible to test an equation known as the Karman-Howarth
relationship. This relationship can be derived from the Nav ier-Stokes equation with
a single assumption, and easily tested with data from the e-m cell. It’s failure or
success in describing data from the e-m cell would then const itute an indirect test
of the Navier-Stokes equation as well as the linear drag mode l proposed for the air
friction.
3.2 The Karman-Howarth Relationship
Although the derivation of the Karman-Howarth relationshi p can be found in a num-
ber of texts on turbulence, it is performed here for two purpo ses: the relationship is
used extensively in later chapters and to present notation w hich will be used through-
out the thesis. It is also performed with the inclusion of a li near damping term in
the Navier-Stokes equation to represent the air friction as discussed earlier. The
derivation here, with the exception of the air drag, closely follows that found in Hinze
[25].
The Karman-Howarth relationship governs the time evolutio n of the two-point
velocity correlation, ∝angb∇acketleftui(⊳vector x)uj(⊳vectorx′)∝angb∇acket∇ight, for a fluid in a state of homogenous turbulence. TheChapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 29
brackets ∝angb∇acketleft...∝angb∇acket∇ightrepresent an ensemble average. This relationship can be der ived from
the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation using only the a ssumption of homogeneity
in the following manner. Multiply Eq. 3.1 which is evaluated for the ithcomponent
of the velocity field at the point ⊳vector xwith the jthcomponent of the field at point ⊳vectorx′:
u′
j∂ui
∂t+∂
∂xs(uiusu′
j) =−∂
∂xi(pu′
j) +ν∂2
∂x2s(uiu′
j) +u′
jFi−αuiu′
j. (3.3)
In the above, field quantities at the point ⊳vectorx′are denoted by a ′and the linear drag
model has been explicitly inserted into the equation. The fa ct that the derivative at
point⊳vector xcommutes with multiplication by fields evaluated at ⊳vectorx′has been used to move
u′
jinside spatial derivatives. Incompressibility has also be en used in the second term
on the left-hand-side to move usinto the derivative.
Add Eq. 3.3 with the corresponding equation evaluated by mul tiplying Eq. 3.1
evaluated for the jthcomponent of the velocity field at the point ⊳vectorx′with the ith
component of the field at point ⊳vector x. This allows both velocity terms to be brought into
the time derivative,

A coordinate transformation to relative, ri≡x′

Now an ensemble average is performed. Using the assumption o f homogeneity
eliminates the derivative of averages with respect to absol ute position, ξi, leaving
only derivatives with respect to relative position, ri. What remains is called the
Karman-Howarth relationship,

In the future the n-term two-point velocity correlation fun ctions will be denoted by

Eq. 3.6 is given by b(2)

byb(3)

This relationship can also be used to derive the energy balan ce equation for ho-
mogenous turbulence. Energy balance will be used in what fol lows as a self consis-
tency check for data that attempts to fit the Karman-Howarth r elationship. Taking
the limit of Eq. 3.6 as ⊳vector r→0 (or equivalently as ⊳vector x→⊳vectorx′)yields

In the above the tensors Π ijandǫijare defined as
Πij≡lim

where the vorticity, ω, is defined as the curl of the velocity field (i.e. ω=⊳vector∇ ×⊳vector u).
The first term on the right, νω2
rms≡ǫν, is the amount of energy changed to heat
by internal viscous dissipation. The second, ∝angb∇acketleftusFs∝angb∇acket∇ight ≡ǫinj, is the work done by the
external force. The final term, αu2
rms≡ǫair, is the energy lost to the linear drag.
Equation 3.10 is the statement that the change in energy in th e system is simply the
amount gained from the external forcing less the amount lost to dissipative effects.
3.3 Testing Karman-Howarth
3.3.1 Experimental Considerations
Recall that the objective of the experiments presented in th is section is to demon-
strate that the dynamics of the e-m cell are governed by the Na vier-Stokes equation,Chapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 31
Eq. 3.1, with the effects of air friction modeled as a linear dr ag. This will be demon-
strated indirectly by showing that the Karman-Howarth rela tionship, Eq. 3.6, holds
for homogenous turbulence in the e-m cell. The number of term s which must be
measured to check Eq. 3.6 can be simplified by using specific ch aracteristics of the
e-m cell. The first is the elimination of the time derivative. This term can be ignored
if the turbulence is in a statistically steady state. Since t he e-m cell was designed
specifically to study steady state turbulence it is easy to ma intain energy and enstro-
phy approximately constant. Elimination of the time deriva tive in this manner is the
main reason that testing of the Karman-Howarth relationshi p is significantly easier
than directly testing the Navier-Stokes equation.
Another term which can be dropped is the viscous term, if one c onsiders length
scales, r, greater than the viscous scale rν≈(ν3/ǫinj)1/4. For typical values of energy
injection in the e-m cell rν= 200 µm. Since the particle tracking measurements
focus on the inverse cascade regime, which occurs at length s cales greater than a
millimeter in the e-m cell, most of the measurement resoluti on lies well above this
criteria. Since the viscous term is being ignored these expe riments can draw no
conclusions about how thickness changes may be affecting cha nges in viscosity. Small
scale investigations, outside the scope of this thesis, wou ld have to be performed to
draw conclusions about this effect.
What remains of the Karman-Howarth relationship after usin g these assumptions
is
∂
∂rs(b(3)
i,sj−b(3)

∂ri∝angb∇acketleftpu′
j∝angb∇acket∇ight+∂
∂rj∝angb∇acketleftp′ui∝angb∇acket∇ight=∝angb∇acketleftu′
jFi∝angb∇acket∇ight+∝angb∇acketleftuiF′
j∝angb∇acket∇ight −2αb(2)
i,j. (3.11)
Normally the assumption of isotropy would also be made to eli minate the pressure-
velocity correlations on the left-hand-side. Recall from t he discussion in chapter 2
that this assumption cannot be made in the e-m cell due to unid irectional forcing.
Therefore to check Eq. 3.11 a pressure-velocity correlatio n must be measured, indi-
cating that not only is a velocity field needed for the check bu t a pressure field as
well.
To obtain the pressure field, the divergence operator is appl ied to Eq. 3.1 and Eq.
3.2 is used. What is left has the form
∇2p= 2Λ + ∇ ·⊳vectorF (3.12)
where Λ ≡∂ux
∂x∂uy
∂y−∂ux
∂y∂uy
∂x. If the Kolmogorov magnet array is used, the divergenceChapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 32
of the electromagnetic force on the right may be dropped (see chapter 2). This allows
the pressure to be approximated from the velocity field using Fourier techniques1.
For this reason the Kolmogorov array will be used in these exp eriments.
With Kolmogorov forcing and the assumptions above, all the t erms in Eq. 3.11
may be measured and tested as an indirect test of the Navier-S tokes equation and
linear drag model. One final simplification can be made. An exa ct measure of the
external electromagnetic forcing is difficult at best. Howev er, since the forcing is uni-
directional, along the ˆ xdirection, the force-velocity correlation terms can be dro pped
if the ( i, j) = (y, y) component of the tensor equation is considered. This is eas ily
done leaving the final equation to be tested:
∂
∂rs(b(3)

∂ry∝angb∇acketleftpu′
y∝angb∇acket∇ight+∂
∂ry∝angb∇acketleftp′uy∝angb∇acket∇ight=−2αb(2)
y,y. (3.13)
All of the terms in the above can be measured, and the constant αcan be used as
a single free fitting parameter. The quality of the fit will det ermine if the Karman-
Howarth relationship holds in the e-m cell, and therefore by implication the Navier-
Stokes equation and linear drag model. Such a detailed compa rison between theory
and experiment has not been performed before for 2D soap film s ystems.
3.3.2 The Data
A single run of the e-m cell using Kolmogorov forcing was perf ormed over a time
span of ∼300s during which one thousand vector fields were obtained by PTV. The
cell was driven at a voltage 40 V with a current of 40 mA oscilla ting with a square
wave form at 5 Hz. The magnet array was placed approximately 1 mm below the
film. This resulted in velocity fluctuations of around 11 cm/s over the time of the
experiment. A typical velocity field that is obtained by binn ing the particle tracks is
shown with the associated pressure field derived using the me thod described above
in Fig. 3.2.
The first order of business is to check that the assumptions of incompressibility
and that the system is in a steady state are accurate. Shown in Fig. 3.3a is the time
dependence of the velocity and vorticity fluctuations for th e run. The fluctuations are
1This approximation of the pressure field assumes periodic bo undary conditions. Though the
velocity fields extracted from the e-m cell do not satisfy thi s boundary condition it is hoped that the
solution for the pressure field will be insensitive to this ap proximation away from the boundariesChapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 33
Figure 3.2: Typical velocity (a) and pressure (b) fields obta ined from the e-m cell. In
the pressure field green denotes positive and blue negative v alues.Chapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 34
not exactly constant, but the change is negligible due to the fact that it happens over
a long time, i.e. the average time derivative is approximate ly zero. The steady state
assumption is therefore approximately correct. The incomp ressibility assumption can
be tested by measuring the divergence of the flow, D≡⊳vector∇ ·⊳vector u, and normalizing its
square by the enstrophy Ω ≡ω2
rms. This forms a dimensionless quantity which must
be small if the divergence effect is to be ignorable. In the e-m cellD2/Ω≈0.1 over
the time of the run as shown in Fig. 3.3b. This indicates that t he divergence is not
overly large and incompressibility can be assumed. Coincid entally this number is also
close to the Mach number of the system, which the reader will r ecall was kept small
for the purpose of minimizing compressibility.
The final assumption necessary to check before Karman-Howar th is applicable to
the system is homogeneity. That is the average quantities in the turbulence should
be invariant with respect to translation. A crude test of hom ogeneity is to measure
the mean, ∝angb∇acketleft⊳vector u(⊳vector x)∝angb∇acket∇ightN, and RMS fluctuation, ( ∝angb∇acketleft|⊳vector u(⊳vector x)|2∝angb∇acket∇ightN)1
2, of the velocity as a function
of position, where Ndenotes the number of fields the quantity is averaged over. Bo th
should be independent of position for homogeneity to hold. M oreover, since the film
in the e-m cell does not have a net translation, the mean flow ev erywhere should
be identically zero. Figure 3.4a shows the the mean flow for th e run after having
averaged over the thousand images ( N= 1000). One can see that there still exists
a small mean. Though at first this is discouraging, it is misle ading since a finite
amount of data will almost never converge exactly to zero. Ra ther the magnitude
of the fluctuations in the mean shear should decrease as N−1/2if one assumes the
fluctuations away from the mean are behaving as a centered Gau ssian variable. To
this end, the RMS fluctuations of the mean flow, ∝angb∇acketleft⊳vector u(⊳vector x)∝angb∇acket∇ightN rms, is plotted as a function
Nin Fig. 3.4b. It is clear that the magnitude of the fluctuation s in the mean is
decreasing almost perfectly as N−1/2, indicating that the mean flow as N→ ∞
should go to zero as required by homogeneity.
Although the mean flow is constant (since it’s zero) and satis fies the requirement
for homogeneity, the RMS fluctuations, ( ∝angb∇acketleft|⊳vector u(⊳vector x)|2∝angb∇acket∇ightN)1
2, does not. This can be seen by
looking at Fig. 3.5 which shows the RMS fluctuations of the two velocity components
averaged over the thousand images. Although the ˆ ycomponent of the velocity fluctu-
ations is approximately constant, the ˆ xfluctuations display strong striations. These
striations reflect the Kolmogorov forcing, as they must if th e electromagnetic force
is to inject energy into the system. That is, some part of uxmust be non-randomChapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 35

and in phase with the forcing otherwise ∝angb∇acketleft⊳vectorF·⊳vector u∝angb∇acket∇ight= 0 and the e-m cell could not be
maintained in an energetically steady state. Since the forc ing is oscillating in time so
must this in-phase component; thus it shows up in the RMS fluct uations as a function
of position and not in the mean flow. Fortunately the magnitud e of the in phase part
of the fluctuations is small, around 1 .5 cm/s, compared to the total RMS fluctuations
of 12 cm/s. Therefore they will be assumed to be ignorable. Ot her than these os-
cillations, the cell appears approximately homogenous in t he RMS fluctuations as a
function of position. The assumption of homogeneity can be s aid to weakly hold for
the turbulence in the e-m cell. This approximation will be re fined in later chapters.

be written Ay,y+By,y=−2αb(2)
y,y. The three separate terms Ay,y,By,yandb(2)
y,ywere
measured and a least squares algorithm used to obtain the αvalue which best fit
the measured data to the Karman-Howarth equation. In this ca seα≈0.7 Hz. The
results of these measurements are shown in Fig. 3.6 a,b,d. In Fig. 3.6c the sum
Ay,y+By,yis shown.
First note that By,y, the term involving pressure velocity correlations is non- zero,
as it would be if the turbulence were anisotropic. This confir ms what was earlier
assumed to be the case, that the unidirectional forcing does not allow isotropy to
be assumed. Next note that the images in Fig. 3.6c and d have ve ry similar forms,
namely a central negative trough with two positive peaks on t herxaxis. This is
evidence that the Karman- Howarth relationship is indeed ho lding in the e-m cell.
To get a better feel for the degree to which there is agreement , several cross-sections
of plots c and d are shown in Fig. 3.7. The noise in the terms Ay,yandBy,yarises
from the fact that these terms are derivatives, which are alw ays noisy and converge
slowly in experiment. In spite of the noise there is clearly a greement, and it is therefore
concluded that Karman-Howarth, and hence the Navier-Stoke s equation with a linear
drag, holds for the e-m cell.Chapter 3. Modeling Flows in the E-M Cell 39

A quick check to see if this conclusion is correct is to see if t he measured coefficient
for the linear drag, α, is viable. Using the discussion in chapter 2 the linear drag
coefficient can be approximated as α=η/ρhd . Given a 50 µm thick film, a magnet-
film distance of 1 mm the coefficient assumes the value 0 .36 Hz. This value is at least
the right order of magnitude, and the difference between this predicted value and the
measured one may be accounted for by recalling that the drag o n the top surface of
the film has been ignored(see chapter 4).
3.3.3 Consistency Check: Energy Balance
The previous section has checked that the ( y, y) component of the Karman-Howarth
equation is consistent with measurements made in the e-m cel l. However, the fit to
the data was somewhat noisy in spite of a thousand fields being used in the average.
What is needed to bolster confidence in the equations is some s ort of consistency
check. This is provided by the energy balance relationship, Eq. 3.10.
The energy balance statement for the time independent flow si mply states that the
energy injected into the system by the electromagnetic forc e,ǫinj, must be balanced
by the energy lost to the air friction, ǫair, and viscosity, ǫν. The later two of these can
now be measured using the definitions of the various ǫ’s given earlier, the extracted
value of α≈0.7 Hz and the kinematic viscosity of ν≈0.016 cm2/s. The energy
dissipated by air is found to be ǫair≈85 cm2/s3, while the energy dissipated by
viscous forces is ǫν≈55 cm2/s3. Using energy balance this suggests that the energy
injected by the electromagnetic force should be ǫinj≈140 cm2/s3. An independent
measure of ǫinjwould then yield a consistency check of the measured value of αand
the quality of agreement of data to the ( y, y) component of the Karman-Howarth
relationship.
This check is provided by the ( x, x) component of the Karman-Howarth relation-
ship which allows a measure of ǫinj. This component of the Karman-Howarth equation
has the form
Ax,x+Bx,x=∝angb∇acketleftu′
xFx∝angb∇acket∇ight+∝angb∇acketleftuxF′
x∝angb∇acket∇ight −2αb(2)

Recall that the Kolmogorov forcing is invariant to translat ion in the ˆ xdirection, that
is, along the forcing. Let us then restrict the displacement vector ⊳vector rto lie along this
direction. Then ∝angb∇acketleftu′

along the ⊳vector r=rxcross-section. Thus the plots of Ax,x+Bx,xand 2αb(2)
x,xshould look
similar to the ones shown earlier except offset by a constant w hich is equal to 2 ǫinj.
Figure 3.8 shows the plot of the rxcross-section of the ( x, x) components of Ax,x+
Bx,xand−2αb(2)
x,x. Clearly the plots are offset by positive constant of 2 ǫinj≈240
cm2/s3. Thus ǫinj≈120 cm2/s3which is close to the expected value of 140 cm2/s3.
Systematic data discussed in the next chapter will show that the extracted values of α
andǫinjfluctuate around ±20%, thus the measured value of ǫinjis within experimental
error of the expected value. This is further supporting evid ence that the Karman-
Howarth relationship does indeed work for data extracted fr om the e-m cell.Chapter 4
Energy Distribution and Energy
Flow
In the last chapter the energy balance relationship, ǫinj−ǫν−ǫair= 0, was used as
a consistency check to determine if the Karman-Howarth rela tionship was applicable
to data from the e-m cell. Though it was not discussed there, t hese measurements
are the first indication that an inverse cascade is present. R ecall from the discussion
in chapter 1 that if an inverse cascade exists then energy is m oved from small length
scales to large ones, away from length scales at which viscou s dissipation is effective.
Thus the bulk of the energy is expected to be dissipated by the external dissipation
mechanism acting at large scales, which in the case of the e-m cell is the air dissipation.
This is exactly the result that the measured energy rates in t he e-m cell demonstrate,
i.e.ǫair> ǫν. This chapter begins the investigation of the inverse energ y cascade in
the e-m cell by quantifying the length scales over which it ex ists (it’s range), measuring
how the energy is distributed over these length scales and de termining the rate at
which energy flows through these length scales.
4.1 Distribution of Energy and the Outer Scale
The energy spectrum, U(⊳vectork), provides a means for describing the manner in which
turbulent kinetic energy is distributed over different wave numbers (inverse length
scales) in the e-m cell. It is defined as the average square mod ulus of the Fourier
43Chapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 44
transform of the velocity fluctuations, U(⊳vectork)≡ ∝angb∇acketleft˜u(⊳vectork)˜u†(⊳vectork)∝angb∇acket∇ight1, and it’s circular inte-
gral,E(k)≡/integraltext2π
0|k|U(⊳vectork)dθ, denotes the average amount of kinetic energy stored in
wavenumbers of modulus k. If an inverse cascade is present in the e-m cell, the
expectation is that energy would build up in wavenumbers sma ller than the energy
injection wavenumber kinj.
This expectation proves to be the case in the e-m cell. Fig. 4. 1 are plots of U(⊳vectork)
calculated from transforms of the PTV velocity fields for var ious types of driving
force in the e-m cell. Note that the peaks corresponding to th e injection wavenumber
differ as expected for the different types of forcing. For exam ple the two square arrays
produce peaks along the line kx=±ky, with the distance from 0 being dictated by
the size of the magnets used in the array. Also note that energ y contained in small
wavenumbers is greater than that contained in large wavenum bers, as expected for
an inverse cascade. This can be better seen in Fig. 4.2 where t he circular integrals
have been taken and a build up of energy at wavenumbers smalle r than kinjcan be
seen.
The Kraichnan prediction for the inverse energy cascade ran ge is that E(k)∼
ǫ2/3k−5/3fork < k injandǫa typical energy rate (in the case of the e-m cell this is
ǫair) [1]. This result is consistent with dimensional predictio ns for the scaling behavior
ofE(k). Lines corresponding to this prediction have been drawn on the plots in Fig.
4.2. These lines should not be interpreted as a fit to the data a nd are drawn only as
a guide. Only the Kolmogorov data set, (a), appears to be in qu alitative agreement
with the dimensional prediction over slightly less than hal f a decade of wavenumbers
below the injection wavenumber. All the remaining data sets have a small range
directly below the injection wavenumber which could be inte rpreted as k−5/3, but
this is quickly lost to a broad peak in the spectrum at small k. This type of behavior
in the spectrum is in agreement with results reported in [13] where the build up of
energy at small kis associated with the saturation of energy in the largest le ngth
scales in the system. Such saturation is not included in the K raichnan prediction and
is therefore not indicative of failure of the theory, but rat her a failure of the system
to satisfy the assumptions of the theory2. Since case (a) satisfies the assumptions of
1†denotes a complex conjugate.
2The assumption which is violated in a saturated system is tha t the velocity fluctuations are
homogenous. A saturated system occurs when the outer scale w hich is determined by external
dissipation exceeds the system size, as it did for the data in Fig. 4.2(b)-(d). When this happens
large structures attempt to pack into a small area near the ce nter of the system away from systemChapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 45

the Kraichnan prediction that E(k)∝k−5/3[1]. The arrows indicate the injection
wavenumber kinj.Chapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 47
Kraichnan’s theory one might conclude that the k−5/3prediction is correct. However,
it should also be noted that the behavior in the measured E(k) depends on the type
of window function used when Fourier transforming the veloc ity fields. In the data
shown in the Fig. 4.2, a three term Blackman-Harris window ha s been used. By
changing this window one could get up to a 20% change in the slo pe of the energy
spectra. Due to the limitations imposed by windowing no conc lusion may be drawn
from this data about possible corrections to the Kraichnan s caling prediction.
The low klimit of the inverse cascade range, denoted kout, is determined by the
size of the largest vortices which result from the inverse ca scade, and corresponds to
the low kpeak in E(k). The position of this peak should depend on the strength
of the air friction since this is the large scale external dis sipation mechanism in the
e-m cell. In the chapter 3 the linear damping model for the air friction possessed a
coefficient αwhich determines it’s strength. Using dimensional analysi s,α, andǫinj, a
length scale called the outer scale can be calculated by rout≡(ǫinj/α3)1/2. The outer
scale represents the size of the vortices at which more energ y is lost to air friction
than is transferred to the next size larger vortices. The out er scale should be related
to the low kpeak in E(k) bykout= 2π/rout.
To check this dimensional prediction, a systematic set of da ta using the Kol-
mogorov forcing with various magnet-film distances was take n holding urmsapproxi-
mately constant. Kolmogorov forcing was used so that αandǫinjcould be extracted
using the techniques of chapter 3. Between 400 and 500 vector fields where obtained
for each magnet-film distance. As in chapter 3, the energy in t he e-m cell remained
approximately constant during the data acquisition time fo r each run. Table 4.1 lists
the various constants associated with each of the different d ata sets.
The first four data sets listed in Table 4.1 may be compared for the purpose of
error analysis. The first and second of these were obtained us ing identical values of
the external control parameters and thus the extracted valu es ofαandǫinjshould
be identical. This is found to be the case up to two significant figures for the first
two data sets. The third and fourth data sets are also taken un der identical control
conditions different from those used for the first and second d ata sets (the magnet-film
distance was slightly smaller). In these data sets the value s ofαandǫinjvary around
the mean by about 10%. Thus, to be conservative, the error in t he two quantities α
boundaries. This will be investigated in some detail later i n this chapter.Chapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 48

TheE(k) measured from the data sets labeled a,b,c and d are displaye d in Fig
4.3. The low wavenumber peak, kout, moves to smaller and smaller wavenumber as
αdecreases. This is in qualitative agreement with the dimens ional prediction. Using
the position of this peak the outer scale is calculated by rout= 2π/koutand compared
to that obtained from the dimensional prediction using the m easured values of α
andǫinj. The results of this comparison are shown for all the data set s in Fig. 4.4.
The vertical error bars reflect the propagated error of ǫinjandαwhile the horizontal
represent the discretization inherent in finite Fourier tra nsforms. From Fig. 4.4 one
can see that the dimensional prediction of the outer scale is not inconsistent with the
measured outer scale using the low kpeak in E(k).
The measurements presented here clearly indicate that an in verse cascade is
present in the e-m cell for all types of forcing. The inverse c ascade range is shown
to exist over wavenumbers ksuch that kout< k < k inj, where kinjis the energy in-
jection wavenumber determined by the electromagnetic forc ing and koutis the outer
wavenumber determined by the external dissipation. koutis found to be not inconsis-
tent with the dimensional prediction, kout∼(ǫinj/α3)1/2. No strong conclusion can
be draw about the manner in which energy is distributed over t his range due to win-
dowing difficulties, however the Kraichnan prediction of E(k)∼k−5/3superficially
holds for data sets in agreement with the assumptions of the p rediction.
Before leaving this section, the systematic data set used in obtaining the outer
scale allow the external dissipation to be compared to the pr edicted value α=
ηair/ρhd. The measured values of αversus the magnet-film distance are shown inChapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 49

Fig. 4.5. The vertical error bars again reflect the 20% error i n measurement while
the horizontal error bars denote the limit of control over ma gnet-film distance. A line
corresponding to ηair/ρhd+C, where C= 0.25 Hz is also plotted with the data and
for the most part is within error of the measured values. Acco rding to this data the
prediction for the magnitude of the linear dissipation must be offset by a small posi-
tive constant to be accurate. This constant can be accounted for by recalling that the
effect of air friction on the top surface of the film has been ign ored. Approximations
of the frictional force on the top surface of the film indicate that the measured value
of the offset is appropriate, though more experimentation ne eds to be done to more
accurately account for this offset.
4.2 Energy Flow
A simplified viewpoint of how kinetic energy might be transfe red through the inverse
cascade range in the e-m cell is to imagine that the energy is fl owing like a liquid
through a pipe. Energy produced by the forcing is poured in at one end of the pipe
which characterizes the injection scale. It is then moved al ong the pipe to larger
length scales by the mixing of fluid (i.e. by vortex cannibali zation). Finally energyChapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 51
is exhausted from the pipe at the opposite end which characte rizes the outer length
scale. Since the total energy in the system is constant, the a mount of energy poured
into the pipe must be equal to the amount exhausted from the pi pe. It is also expected
that the rate of energy being poured into the pipe is equivale nt to the rate of energy
transferred across any length scale in the middle of the pipe . That is to say that the
energy flux through the pipe is not dependent on the position i n the pipe and remains
constant.
This viewpoint is a severe simplification of what actually ha ppens in 2D turbu-
lence. First it ignores losses of energy to viscous dissipat ion and assumes all energy
is lost to external dissipation. Since viscous losses are pr esumably smaller than losses
to external dissipation, let us accept for now that this simp lification is valid. A more
important simplification, the one which is of concern in this section, is that the pipe
doesn’t leak. That is there are no holes drilled along the len gth of the pipe. That
is to say energy cannot be exhausted from the pipe by external dissipation until the
outer length scale is reached. To hope that this is actually t he case in the e-m cell,
or for that matter any other laboratory 2D turbulence system is quite a stretch.
It is more likely that there exists a range in the pipe, probab ly close to the injec-
tion scale since external dissipation increases at large le ngth scales, over which the
amount of energy lost to leaks is negligible compared to the e nergy flux through the
pipe. This range will be called an “inertial” range since the energy flow is almost
entirely dictated by the fluid’s inertia and not the energy di ssipation. The inertial
range is of interest due to it’s universality. Presumably tw o 2D turbulent systems
with completely different external dissipation mechanisms will behave identically in
their inertial ranges. To use the pipe analogy, the inertial range of both systems
is completely closed and thus fluid mixing and energy flux shou ld be the same in
this region. Outside of this range the pipe leaks, and the ene rgy flux depends on
how many holes of what size are drilled at what position in the pipe. Therefore the
characteristics of the turbulence may not be universal outs ide of the inertial range.
To determine if a range is inertial or not, a measurement of en ergy flow must be
made. One way in which energy flow may be characterized is by th e third moment
of velocity difference. The third moment, labeled S(3)(r) for now, can be thought of
as the average energy per unit mass advected over a circle of r adius rcentered at ⊳vector xChapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 52
per unit circumference of the circle:
S(3)(r) =1
2πr/integraldisplay2π
0∝angb∇acketleftE(⊳vector x+⊳vector r)⊳vector u(⊳vector x+⊳vector r)·⊳vector r∝angb∇acket∇ightdθ.
Assume also that the reference frame is moving so that the vel ocity⊳vector u(⊳vector x) = 0. As-
suming homogeneity the circle can be placed anywhere in the t urbulence, so that
S(3)does not depend on ⊳vector x.Ein the above is the energy per unit mass. If the third
moment is positive, then on average energy is being advected from inside the circle to
outside the circle, and vice versa if the third moment is nega tive. It is interesting to
note what happens if ris assumed to be in an inertial range. If this is the case then
no energy is lost to external dissipation at that length scal e. Since the energy held in
the turbulence at a scale ris in a steady state then all of the energy injected by the
forcing into the circle must be advected over the surface of t he circle. Call ǫthe rate
of energy injection per unit mass into the system. The rate at which energy is injected
into the circle is then πr2ǫ. Replacing the integral with this yields S(3)(r)≈ǫr. Thus
a linear range in the third moment indicates inertial behavi or of the energy transfer.
The above derivation of a linear behavior in the third moment for an inertial range
can be put on much more solid foundation. Indeed the third mom ent is one of the
few quantities for which an exact prediction can be derived f rom the Navier-Stokes
equation. This derivation was first done by Kolmogorov for 3D homogenous and
isotropic turbulence. To apply to results from the e-m cell K olmogorov’s derivation
must be relaxed to the case of 2D homogenous but anisotropic t urbulence with an
external linear drag. This relaxation is given below. Follo wing this are measurement
and analysis of the third moment in the e-m cell for the data se ts in Table 4.1.
4.2.1 The Anisotropic Third Moment
The starting point for the derivation of the third moment rel ationship for homogenous
anisotropic 2D turbulence is the Karman-Howarth relations hip, Eq. 3.6, which was
derived in section 3.2. All of the notation and conventions u sed in that section will
be carried over without alteration. The notation and the firs t step of the derivation
follows that given in a recent paper by Lindborg [26].
Add Eq. 3.6 evaluated for ( i, j) to that evaluated for ( j, i), and use Eq. 3.7 to
obtain

Limits of this equation are now ready to be taken to establish that a linear range
can exist. First note that the force-velocity correlation t erm in Eq. 4.10 (first term on
the right) should decay in magnitude as 1 /rforr≫rinjforFperiodic in space. One
limit which can be considered is the case where this force-ve locity term is neglected.
In this case the only remaining term arises from the linear di ssipation. Assuming

velocity correlation, b(2)

r,r(r)≈
u2
rmsin this range. Inserting this approximation into Eq. 4.10 an d integrating yields
S(3)
a= 2αu2
rmsr= 2ǫairr, which is the extension of the earlier mentioned Kolmogorov
4/5 result for 3D turbulence to 2D anisotropic turbulence. Ano ther limit of interest is
when both the force-velocity and velocity-velocity correl ations have disappeared. InChapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 55
this case the integrals on the right hand side become constan t and the third moment
decays as S(3)
a≈r−1.
Notice that the ǫfound in the third moment relationship is ǫair, the energy dissi-
pated by the e-m cell’s external dissipation mechanism of ai r friction. One might have
expected that this should be ǫinj, the total energy injection rate. Recall that in the
previous discussion of the third moment, energy lost to visc ous forces were ignored so
thatǫinj=ǫair. When viscosity is reintroduced, then the energy flowing ove r a circle
of radius ris the energy injected less the amount dissipated by viscosi ty, i.e. ǫinj−ǫν.
By energy conservation this is just ǫair, which dictates the remaining energy which
must flow over the circle. This is why ǫairdetermines the third moment and not ǫinj.
4.2.2 Homogeneity
Before sliding headlong into S(3)
ameasurements and blindly searching for positive
linear ranges, a word of caution is warranted. The assumptio n of homogeneity has
been used a number of times in the preceding derivation of S(3)
a, not to mention the
fact that it was used in deriving the Karman-Howarth equatio n. This makes S(3)
a
measurements extremely sensitive to inhomogeneity in the e -m cell.3
Fortunately the derivation of S(3)
ahas provided a simple test of homogeneity. If
the turbulence in the e-m cell is homogenous then the followi ng should be equivalent

The latter two forms will be denoted J(r) and K(r), respectively. Plots of all three
of these quantities for the data sets labeled (a)-(d) in Tabl e 4.1 are shown in Fig.
4.6. It is clear that only case (d) of extremely heavy damping (large α) produces
approximate agreement for all three forms at length scales l arger than the injection
3There might be some concern that results presented in chapte r 3 might be inaccurate due to
inhomogeneity. Recall that in that chapter homogeneity was assumed and not exactly checked.
Using the analysis presented in this section on the data of ch apter 3 demonstrates that these data
sets are approximately homogenous.Chapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 56
scale. It is therefore the only approximately homogenous da ta set. It is also evident
that case (a) and (b) are strongly inhomogeneous, and case (c ) is marginal.
To understand the nature of the discrepancies, ensemble ave rages of individual
velocity fields were performed over Nimages. Again the ensemble averaged velocity
at any given point in the flow, ∝angb∇acketleft⊳vector u(⊳vector x)∝angb∇acket∇ightN, though not identically zero was found to
decrease in magnitude as N−1/2for all of the data sets indicating negligible mean
flow in the system. The inhomogeneity, then, stems from the sp atial variation of the
velocity fluctuations, ( ∝angb∇acketleft|⊳vector u(⊳vector x)|2∝angb∇acket∇ightN)1
2, which is shown in Fig. 4.7 for the four data sets
(a)-(d). The oscillating light and dark bands, correspondi ng to high and low urms
and inhomogeneity at the injection scale are again present i n all four sets to a greater
or lesser extent. As before these oscillations will be ignor ed. A closer inspection of
theurmsfields for the four data sets also reveals a large-scale inhom ogeneity which
increases in magnitude as αdecreases. Note that for the most weakly damped case
(a), the fluctuations near the corners are weak compared to th ose near the box center.
This large-scale inhomogeneity is the main source of the dis crepancies for the three
different forms of S(3)
a.
The reason that the velocity fluctuations begin to form this l arge scale inhomo-
geneity for weak damping is connected to the growth of the out er scale of the turbu-
lence. As discussed before the outer scale indicates the lar gest sized vortices present
in the turbulence. This can be seen in Fig. 4.8 which shows typ ical streamlines for the
four cases (a)-(d). Clearly the heavy damping, case (d), has many small vortices but
few large ones compared to the case of weak damping, (a). Thes e large vortices prefer
to exist in regions removed from solid boundaries, otherwis e a large shear builds up
between the vortex and the boundary and quickly dissipates t he vortex. Since the
largest vortices are of diameter rout, this preference causes an absence of fluctuations
for distances smaller than routfrom the wall. Should this boundary region invade the
PTV measurement area homogeneity is sacrificed.
For all of the data sets in Table 4.1 the distance between the P TV measurement
area and the boundary was approximately 1 .5 cm, this sets the largest outer scale
possible before sacrificing homogeneity. Table 4.1 reveals that the spectrally measured
outer scale, 2 π/kout, of the case (a) and (b) are well above this value explaining t heir
strong inhomogeneity. Case (d) is below this value therefor e the measurement volume
is homogenous. Case (c) has an outer scale just exceeding thi s limit, which explains
it’s marginal homogeneity.Chapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 57

4.2.3 The Inertial Range and The Integral Scale
In the last section only one of the data sets which were analyz ed strictly satisfied the
homogeneity condition, case (d). Case (c) was marginal in it ’s homogeneity, so it can
be considered as well. Considering only these two cases it is apparent that there is no
inertial range in the e-m cell. Recall that from Eq. 4.10 an in ertial range is indicated
by a linear range in S(3)
a(r). Neither case (c) or (d) shows such a range in S(3)
a. Since
both (c) and (d) have an inverse cascade range, this is the firs t indication that the
inertial range is behaving distinctly from the inverse casc ade range. However, since
neither case (c) or (d) has an extensive inverse cascade rang e, it would be helpful to
determine if either case (a) or (b), both of which exhibit lar ge inverse cascade ranges,
has an inertial range in spite of their lack of homogeneity.
To that end consider Eq. 4.10. The left-hand side of this equa tion can be rep-
resented by any of the three forms S(3)(r),J(r), orK(r) from the last section if
the turbulence is homogenous. For the inhomogeneous case it would be useful to
find if any of these three forms satisfy Eq. 4.10, effectively r elaxing the condition
of homogeneity on the left of the equation. To test this idea t he right-hand side of
Eq. 4.10, denoted R(r), was independently measured and is displayed in Fig. 4.9
along with K(r) the third representation of the anisotropic third moment f or the four
cases discussed earlier. The strongly and moderately dampe d cases produce mod-
erate agreement between K(r) and R(r) , while for the weakly damped cases there
is some disagreement which increases for large scales. The a greement for all cases,
however, is better for K(r) than if S(3)(r) had been used to represent the left hand
side. One can weakly conclude then that the homogeneity assu mption used to obtain
Eq. 4.10 can be relaxed on the left for cases of moderate inhom ogeneity if the K(r)
representation of the anisotropic third moment is used. For this reason we call K(r)
the quasi-homogenous part of the third moment.
Now the determination of the inertial range for weakly inhom ogeneous turbulence
boils down to whether or not a linear range exists in the quasi -homogenous part
of the anisotropic third moment for r > r inj. Clearly, even for the cases of weak
damping, this does not happen. Indeed over the majority of th e range displaying
inverse cascade, the quasi-homogenous part of the anisotro pic third moment decays
asr−1, which is indicative of a linear dissipation dominated regi me. Therefore, none of
the inverse cascade ranges produced in the e-m cell are inert ial, they are all dissipationChapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 61

dominated.
In the previous section, the outer scale of turbulence was de termined to behave as
rout∝(ǫinj
α3)1/2. This length scale, obviously, does not determine the upwar d extent
of the range over which energy transfer is inertial, otherwi se, a few of the data sets
should display a linear range. It is reasonable to ask what co ndition is required
in order for any linearly damped 2D system to have an inertial range. Equation
4.10 indicates that if a linear range is to exist it arises fro m the dominance of the
second integral on the right-hand side over the first integra l at large scales. The
first integral, the force-velocity correlation, decays (as 1/r) at length scales larger
than the injection scale. Thus, if a typical length scale of t he second integral greatly
exceeds the injection scale, the third moment should have so me linear range. The
second integral contains the longitudinal two-point veloc ity correlation as one of its
functional arguments. This suggests that a measure of the ty pical length scale of this
integral is the so-called integral scale,
rint≡1
b(2)
r,r(0)/integraldisplay∞
0drb(2)
r,r(r).
The size of the integral scale for the data sets is displayed i n Table 4.1. Note that all
but the most weakly damped data sets have integral scales sma ller than the injection
scale ( rinj≈0.6 cm). For the case of very weak damping the integral scale has just
exceeded the injection scale. This is reflected in the quasi- homogenous part of the
third moment for the weakly damped cases (a) and (b), which sh ow an extended
plateau right after the injection peak. To better visualize this plateau growth, the
right hand side of Eq. 4.10 for the four cases is displayed in t he Fig. 4.10 with the
plots normalized by the value of the peak after the injection scale. Such a feature is
absent in the more heavily damped cases. Thus, the integral s cale seems to govern
the upward extent of the inertial range, in contrast to the ou ter scale that governs
the upward extent of the inverse cascade in 2D.
One might believe that the integral scale and the outer scale should be linearly
proportional to each other. This may not be the case. Figure 4 .11 is a comparison of
the the outer scale calculated using the dimensional argume nt with the integral scale.
Though the error in the plot does allow for the possibility of a linear fit, it is more
likely a power law growth as shown by the r2
intcurve drawn in the figure. Within
the error indicated on the plots, the integral scale seems to behave as the geometricChapter 4. Energy Distribution and Energy Flow 63

It seems that this relationship should be predictable by ins erting finite ranges in the
energy spectrum and inverse transforming to get the two-poi nt correlation. At this
time such a calculation has not been performed.Chapter 5
High Order Moments
Recall from the introduction that the inverse energy cascad e range was expected to
have two important properties: locality and scale invarian ce. The experiments in the
e-m cell do not have enough inverse cascade range for any conc lusion to be directly
drawn about either of these properties. However, some indir ect conclusions pertaining
to scale invariance might be drawn if one assumes that certai n measured properties
of the moments of velocity difference can be extended to the ca se of a large inverse
cascade range. Displaying these properties and demonstrat ing how such conclusions
may be drawn is the purpose of this chapter. First, to facilit ate the extension of mea-
sured results, a brief discussion which describes the expec ted behavior for moments of
velocity difference assuming scale invariance is presented . This discussion is similar
to one in [9].
5.1 Scale Invariance and Moments
In the introduction the velocity difference over a length sca ler,δ⊳vector u(⊳vector r)≡(⊳vector u(⊳vector x+⊳vector r)−
⊳vector u(⊳vector x)), was said to be scale invariant in the inverse cascade rang e (Note that though
δ⊳vector udepends on the absolute position, ⊳vector x, any statistical quantities formed from δ⊳vector u
does not if homogeneity is assumed). Here, scale invariance means that there exists
a unique scaling exponent hsuch that P(δ⊳vector u(λ⊳vector r)) =P(λhδ⊳vector u(⊳vector r)), where Pdenotes
a probability distribution function (PDF). For the moment, consider homogenous
isotropic 2D turbulence. Instead of using both components o fδ⊳vector u(⊳vector r) inP, isotropy
allows for the simplification to only a single component. For various reasons this
component is usually the longitudinal component, δu||(⊳vector r) =δ⊳vector u(⊳vector r)·ˆr. Also note that
65Chapter 5. High Order Moments 66
isotropy allows dependence on ⊳vector rto be reduced to only dependence on r=|⊳vector r|. From
this the scaling relationship becomes P(δu||(λr)) =P(λhu||(r)).
Thenthorder moment of longitudinal velocity difference is defined a s

Note that these functions were already defined in chapter 4. S ince longitudinal
fluctuations will only be considered here the notation can be simplified by defin-
ingSn(r) =S(n)
rrr...(r). The scale invariance of the PDF’s directly results in the s cale
invariance of the moments of velocity difference, with the sc aling exponent nhfor the
nthorder moment. That is
Sn(λr) =/integraldisplay+∞
−∞dδu||(λr) (δu||(λr))nP(δu||(λr))

=λnh/integraldisplay+∞
−∞λhdδu||(r) (δu||(r))nλ−hP(δu||(r))
=λnhSn(r). (5.2)
Thus scale invariance implies that the moments of longitudi nal velocity difference
behave as Sn(r)∝rnh.
Recall from the discussion in chapter 4 that there exists an e xact result for the
third moment of velocity difference in an inertial range, S3(r) =3
2ǫr. If an inertial
range exists, and if it is scale invariant, then this exact re sult fixes the scaling exponent
h= 1/3 and the final expectation for the scaling behavior of the nthorder moment
is that Sn(r)∝rn/3. This result was first reached by Kolmogorov in his 1941 theor y
of homogenous isotropic turbulence and will be called the K4 1 theory. The result
can be fleshed out a little more if one assumes that the only var iables of importance
in the inertial range are the constant energy flow rate, ǫ, and the length scale, r.
Under these assumptions dimensional analysis predicts Sn(r)∝Cn(ǫr)n/3, where the
dimensionless Cnare assumed to be universal constants. Incompressibility s etsC1= 0
and the previously mentioned exact result sets C3= 3/2.
This analysis yields a simple way in which the scale invarian ce of the turbulent
fields can be verified. Simply make sure that the PDF’s of longi tudinal velocity
difference for various rin the inertial range, when properly normalized, collapse t o
a single curve. Equivalently, make sure that the nthorder moments of longitudinal
velocity difference scale as rn/3for all n. It should be pointed out that this analysisChapter 5. High Order Moments 67
holds for homogenous isotropic 3D turbulence, except for a c hange in coefficients
Cn. Although one might expect the velocity differences in 3D tur bulence to be scale
invariant as expressed above, it is an experimental fact tha t the moments steadily
deviate from the expected scaling behavior of the K41 theory as the order of the
moment is increased. The possibility of such deviations hap pening in 2D turbulence
is still an open experimental question, though what follows in this chapter might be
considered clues as to what the answer may be.
5.2 Disclaimer
The analysis in this chapter must begin by pointing out a coup le of reasons notto
extend certain conclusion presented in it to cases of 2D turb ulence beyond the e-m
cell. The first of these reasons stems from the type of statist ical quantities which
will be used in the determination of scale invariance. The an alysis in the previous
section was phrased solely in terms of longitudinal velocit y differences. In order to go
from full velocity differences to longitudinal differences w ithout loss of information
it is necessary that the turbulence be fully isotropic. The f act that the forcing is
unidirectional, as discussed in chapter 2 does not allow iso tropy to be assumed in the
e-m cell. This means that the analysis given above must be don e for fully anisotropic
turbulence to be absolutely correct.
Unfortunately, this analysis becomes prohibitive for anis otropic turbulence as the
order of the moments increase since the number of moments con taining transverse
velocity differences that need to be measured grows. Earlier experiments show that
the deviations from scaling prediction in 3D become apparen t only for moments of
large order. Assuming that 2D might be similar means that a la rge number of quan-
tities would have to be accurately measured and compared, ma king fully anisotropic
analysis exceedingly difficult. The fact that anisotropy doe s not allow the dependence
on the difference vector ⊳vector rto be simplified to dependence on r=⊳vector rexacerbates this
difficulty. From an experimental point of view this is devasta ting since dependence
only on rallows statistics to be averaged over circles, increasing t he number of points
used in evaluating the PDF’s by 2 πrfor each scale r. Without this buffering of the
statistics one cannot hope to obtain enough data to measure h igh order moments of
the PDF. For these reasons a fully anisotropic analysis must be abandoned. All results
in this chapter use only longitudinal differences, and it is h oped that the anisotropyChapter 5. High Order Moments 68
will not seriously affect the final results.
The second reason was hinted at in chapter 4. The results that will be discussed
will be coming from an inverse cascade range that is not inert ial. This means that
the form of the external damping may be affecting the results. Since the external
damping in the e-m cell is known to have a linear form, the resu lts can strictly
be said to only apply to other linearly damped 2D turbulent flu ids. This fact, along
with the e-m cells anisotropy, raises serious questions abo ut the universality of certain
results which are obtained. In spite of this, the author feel s that many of the results
presented are robust due to similarities with data obtained from other experiments
[5] and simulation [27].
5.3 The PDF of Longitudinal Velocity Difference
Of the data sets presented in Table 4.1 the only two to display homogeneity or
marginal homogeneity by the analysis of chapter 4 are cases ( c) and (d). These
will be the main data sets from which conclusions in this chap ter will be drawn. In
particular, focus will be given to (c) since it has the larges t inverse cascade range of the
two as shown in Fig. 4.3. The PDF of longitudinal velocity diff erence, P=P(δu||(r))
was calculated in a straightforward manner from data set (c) and is presented in the
color plot of Fig. 5.1. Several cross-sections of the plot fo r various rare shown in
Fig. 5.2.
It is clear from the cross-sections that Pis approximately Gaussian at all r. Of
course it cannot be perfectly Gaussian since there must be so me third moment as was
measured in chapter 4. The magnitude of the odd moments, such as the third, must
be small compared to the even order moments for Pto have such a strongly Gaussian
character. The tails of Pdo not seem to strongly deviate from Gaussian decay into
either exponential or algebraic decay at any rin the inverse cascade range. In 3D,
deviations of the high order moments from the K41 theory is as sociated with slower
than Gaussian decay in the PDF tails. This behavior is common ly termed “intermit-
tency” since it indicates intermittent bursty behavior in t he velocity field. That no
such deviation in the PDF tails is seen in these experiments i s an indication that the
scale invariant result may hold. The approximately Gaussia n PDF’s measured here
are in agreement with both recent experiments [5] and simula tions [27].
The moments of the longitudinal velocity difference are calc ulated from PusingChapter 5. High Order Moments 69

coloration increase on an exponential scale. The injection and outer scale are marked
by lines, in between which is the inverse energy cascade rang e.
Figure 5.2: Cross sections at various rforP(δul(r), r) shown in Fig 5.1.Chapter 5. High Order Moments 70
Eq. 5.1. Since the two lowest order moments in 3D do not measur ably deviate from
the K41 theory, and it is expected that this will be the case in 2D, the low order
moments are analyzed in the e-m cell first. Displayed in Fig: 5 .3 are S2(r) and S3(r)
for the data set (c). Clearly there is no range in the second mo ment which scales
asr2/3in between the injection and outer scale as K41 predicts. The re is no linear
behavior of S3(r) in this range either. This later result is hardly surprisin g considering
that a linear range is indicative of an inertial range which h as already been shown
not to exist in the e-m cell (see chapter 4).
These graphs clearly violate the scaling prediction in the K 41 theory, therefore
the e-m cell’s inverse cascade range is not scale invariant. It might become scale
invariant if an inertial range was allowed to build in the cel l. To better understand
what might happen, the higher order moments (i.e. n >3) of the longitudinal velocity
difference are evaluated. These moments are more easily disp layed if they are made
dimensionless by dividing out the appropriate power of the s econd moments. Define
Tn(r) =Sn(r)/(S2(r))n/2, so that T3is the skewness, T4is the flatness etc. These
normalized moments are shown in Fig. 5.4 for 4 ≤n≤11. The error bars are
calculated by truncating the PDF wherever noise dominates t he PDF measurement.
First consider the moments of even order. With the exception of a blow up at
small r, the even Tn(r) are essentially constant for r > r injwith the exception of
logarithmically small fluctuations between rinjandrout. The constant values that
the even Tnassume at large rare only slightly less than those of a pure Gaussian
distribution, namely
an=n!
2(n/2)(n/2)!, (5.3)
forn≥2. These are shown on the even plots of Fig. 5.4 as dotted lines . This confirms
the earlier visual observation that Pwas approximately Gaussian. The large blow
up at small scales r < r injis due to poor statistics. The fluctuations of the even Tn
at scales in between rinjandroutseems to force the value slightly higher than the
Gaussian value. It should be pointed out that a similar rise i s seen in [5] though
without the fluctuating character. Fluctuations are also se en in [27] near the outer
scale, though these settle back down to the Gaussian values o nce the inertial range is
reached. Since the fluctuations are small the Gaussian value s will be assumed to hold
for all r > r inj. From the measured constant values of the even Tnthe higher order
even moments in the e-m cell can be approximated as Sn(r)≈an(S2(r))n/2with theChapter 5. High Order Moments 71

anassuming the values of a Gaussian distribution.
Now consider the odd moments. Unlike the even moments, the od dTndisplay a
complicated behavior for r > r inj. However, up to a multiplicative constant, which
will be denoted bn, the odd Tnhave similar behaviors. To see this the multiplicative
constant has been removed and all odd Tnforn≥3 have been plotted in Fig. 5.5. The
bnwhere chosen to be the value of Tnatrinj. This was completely arbitrary and more
complicated procedures could be performed to get better fits . Though the plots are
not identical, they clearly have the same trends, and agreem ent is within measurement
error. Using the T3as a base function this experimental data indicates that Tn(r)≈

two sets of coefficients are plotted in Fig. 5.6 along with a dot ted line representing
Gaussian values. Where the anare following the Gaussian prediction quite nicely, the
bn/b3behave as an almost perfect exponential.
The experimental results lead to the conclusion that the hig her order moments
can be expressed approximately in terms of the two lowest ord er moments as

where dm≡bm/b3. We are now in a position to draw some conclusions about scale
invariance in the inertial range. In the inertial range it is clear that S3(r)∝ras
the exact result from chapter 4 shows. Further, the range S2(r) is not expected to
deviate in an inertial range from it’s r2/3behavior. Assuming these two scaling laws
hold in an inertial range and assuming also that the above res ults can be extended
into the inertial range yields
Sn(r)∝rn
3:∀n. (5.6)
This is precisely the statement of the K41 theory for rin an inertial range. Assuming,
then, that the extensions and assumptions made are correct, the inertial range of 2D
turbulence should behave in a scale invariant manner.
One might ask about the universality of the coefficients ananddn. Recall that one
of the predictions of K41 is that these dimensionless numbers should be independen t
of any external parameters, such as αor⊳vectorFwhich govern the turbulence. To test this
the procedure presented above is performed on data set (d) of Table 4.1 as well as a
set of data taken using a square magnet array instead of a Kolm ogorov array. SimilarChapter 5. High Order Moments 75
to the earlier data sets, the even moments display strong Gau ssian characteristics.
The underlying structure of the odd normalized moments has c hanged, but they are
still marginally collapsible by extracting an arbitrary co nstant. The odd Tn/bnare

sets are displayed simultaneously. Note that the measured v alues do not significantly
differ from one data set to the next, the anremain close to the Gaussian values given

Conclusion
The inverse energy cascade of 2D turbulence as it occurs in th e e-m cell has been
measured and quantified in the preceding chapters. Clearly a n inverse cascade exists
and it’s energy distribution and extent behave as predicted by dimensional analysis.
The energy flow, when homogenous enough to be accurately comp ared with theory
agrees almost perfectly with exact predictions made using t he 2D incompressible
Navier-Stokes equation. However, at no time is this energy fl ow inertial.
That the inertial range and inverse cascade range are not coi ncident for a lin-
early damped 2D fluid is perhaps the most important result in t he thesis, from an
experimental and numerical stand point. This is because pre vious 2D turbulence ex-
periments and simulations did not attempt to differentiate b etween the two ranges,
and merely assumed that a −5/3 range in E(k) must be accompanied by the nec-
essary linear range in S3(r) (orS(3)
adepending on if the turbulence was isotropic or
not). This is now known not to be the case and casts doubt on som e of the earlier ex-
perimental results. Finally, the inverse cascade range mea sured in the e-m cell is not
scale invariant, though there is some evidence that it might become so if an inertial
range ever developed.
This is perhaps as far as experimental results on the inverse cascade can be taken
in the current incarnation of the e-m cell. The lack of an iner tial range being the most
significant limiting feature. To get an idea of what would be n eeded to eliminate this
feature we can use the knowledge that has been gained that the inertial range grows
as the geometric average of the injection and outer scale (Eq . 4.14). If a decade of
inertial range is desired for accurate measurements of scal ing behavior then by Eq.
4.14 the system size would have to be two decades larger than t he injection scale,
78Chapter 6. Conclusion 79
that is rout= 100 ×rinj. To get an idea what this would mean in the e-m cell, recall
that the Kolmogorov magnets produced an injection scale of 0 .6 cm. Thus the e-m
cell frame would need to be 60 cm across to support a large enou gh system to have
a decade of inertial range while maintaining homogeneity. M oreover, the outer scale
would have to be forced higher by either increasing ǫinj, which is risky because velocity
fluctuations would grow and sacrifice incompressibility, or by reducing α. Since αhas
almost reached it’s asymptotic limit for the weakly damped c ases considered in this
thesis, a partial vacuum must be employed to achieve lower α. The author need not
emphasize the difficulty in creating a half meter sized soap bu bble, balancing it with
respect to gravity, and finally putting the whole system in a p artial vacuum.
Some sort of happy medium might be reached by marginally incr easing the system
size, say by a factor of two, and reducing the magnet size a bit . Some inertial
range would exist, though hardly enough to draw conclusions about scaling behavior.
However, if use of the e-m cell in inverse cascade investigat ions is to continue such
compromises must be made to obtain an inertial range.Appendix A
Particle Tracking Velocimetry:
Program Listing
Included in this appendix is the program code, piv chk.cpp, for the particle tracking
routine presented in chapter 2. It has been written in the C pr ogram language for
no other reason than personal preference. The program has be en successfully com-
piled with both the GNU C compiler and the Microsoft compiler . No performance
enhancement was found through use of different compilers. Us e of the code after
compilations is done from the command line by
pivchk foo1.tif foo2.tif outfoo.vec
where “foo1.tif” and “foo2.tif” are the first and second tif i mages to be compared
respectively and “outfoo.vec” is the output file holding the particle positions and dis-
placements. In “outfoo.vec” the origin of the coordinate sy stem is assumed to be at
the upper left corner of the tif image, with the ˆ xdirection denoting the vertical coor-
dinate in the image and the ˆ ydirection denoting the horizontal coordinate. Values of
xincrease as one goes down the tif image and values of yincrease as one moves right.
If a matched particle set is found at position ( x1, y1) in the first image and ( x2, y2) in
the second image it is saved in “outfoo.vec” as:
ξy,ξx,uy,ux
where ξx= 1/2(x1+x2),ξy= 1/2(y1+y2),ux=x2−x1anduy=y2−y1. All units
in the output file are in pixels.
80Appendix A. Particle Tracking Velocimetry: Program Listing 81
The various parameters in the routine that determine the cha racteristics of the
particles, the search radius, the correlation box size and o ther parameters are set by
#define statements at the beginning of the routine. These are commented in the
source code for clarity.

arXiv:physics/0103051v1 [physics.gen-ph] 19 Mar 2001What is mass?
R. I. Khrapko1
Abstract
Does the mass of bodies depend on their velocity? Is the mass a dditive if separate
bodies are joined together to form a composite system? Is the mass of an isolated system
conserved? Different teachers of physics and specialists gi ve different answers to these
questions because there is no general agreement on the defini tion of mass..We shall show
that the notion of the velocity-dependent relativistic mas s should be given preference over
that of the rest mass.
1. Introduction
One of the achievements of the special theory of relativity i s the statement about the equiv-
alence of mass and energy in a sense that the mass of a body incr eases with its energy including
kinetic energy; therefore, the mass depends on the velocity of the body. This relationship is
unambiguously interpreted in the works of renowned physici sts.
Max Born (1962): “The mass of one and the same body is a relativ e quantity. It is to
have different values according to the system of reference fr om which it is measured, or, if
measured from a definite system of reference, according to th e velocity of the moving body. It
is impossible that mass is a constant quantity peculiar to ea ch body.” [1].
Richard Feynman (1965): “Because of the relation of mass and energy the energy associated
with the motion appears as an extra mass, so things get heavie r when they move. Newton
believed that this was not the case, and that the masses staye d constant.” [2].
Statements to the same effect can be also found in textbooks.
S. P. Strelkov (1975): “The dependence of mass on velocity is a principal proposition of
Einstein’s mechanics.” [3].
However, recently there had been a return to the Newton’s bel ief. According to this belief
the mass of a body does not change with increasing velocity an d remains equal to the rest mass.
L B Okun’ is a dedicated mouthpiece of this tendency [4, 5]. Ea rlier, a similar viewpoint was
advocated in the book [6).
L. B. Okun’ (1989): “The mass that increases with speed – that was truly incomprehensible.
The mass of a body mdoes not change when it is in motion and, apart from the factor c, is equal
to the energy contained in the body at rest. The mass mdoes not depend on the reference
frame. At the end of the twentieth century one should bid fare well to the concept of mass
dependent on velocity. This is an absolutely simple matter! ” [4].
J. Wheeler at al. (1966): “The concept of relativistic mass i s subject to misunderstanding”
([6], p. 137).
This opinion is shared by the authors of certain textbooks fo r university students published
abroad.
R. Resnick et al. (1992): “‘The Concept of Mass’ by Lev B. Okun (see Ref. [5] of this
letter) summarizes the views held by many physicists and ado pted for use in this book. But
there is not universal agreement on the interpretation of Eq .
E0=mc2. (35)

E-mail: tahir@k804.mainet.msk.su Subject: Khrapko
1This equation tells us that a particle of mass mhas associated with it a rest energy E0.
Nevertheless Eq. 35 asserts that energy has mass” [7]
A serious confusion that arose from the reversion to the Newt onian concept of mass is
reflected in the following dialogue:
“Schoolboy: ‘Does mass really depend on velocity, dad?’ Fat her physicist: ‘No! Well, yes...
Actually, no, but don’t tell your teacher.’ The next day the s on dropped physics.” [8].
We hope that we shall succeed in this letter to formulate a rat ional approach to the definition
of mass.
2. A splitting of a definition of mass
There are two different definitions of the inertial mass, coin cident in the non-relativistic
context.
Definition 1. “In ordinary language the word mass denotes something like amount of sub-
stance. The concept of substance is considered self-eviden t.” (See [1] p. 33.) More precisely:
mass is defined “as a number attached to each particle or body o btained by comparison with
a standard body whose mass is define as unity” [9].
Definition 2. Mass is a measure of the inertia of a body, i.e. th e coefficient of proportionality
in the formula
F=ma. (1)
or in the formula
p=mv. (2)
Because F,a,pandvhave indisputable operational definitions, formulas (1) an d (2) give
the operational definition of mass. These formulas will be us ed to make the aforementioned
comparison (see Def. 1) in order to obtain the number mattached to a body.
For the operational definition of momentum, see [10]. Here is an extract from this work:
”The meaning of the operational definition consists in the id entification of two terms: ‘defini-
tion’ and ‘determination’. The operation used to define a mom entum is essentially as follows.
When a certain obstacle causes a moving particle to stop, a fo rceF(t) is measured with which
the particle acts on the obstacle during retardation. The pa rticle’s initial momentum equals
the integral p=/integraltextF(t)dt,by definition. It is postulated that this integral is indepen dent of
retardation characteristics, i.e. the form of the function F(t).”
Unfortunately, the attached number determined by formulas (1) and (2) using the oper-
ational definitions of F,a,p,vfor one and the same body, i.e. for the same ‘amount of
substance’, turns out to be dependent on the speed of the body ; when the body has a speed,
it also depends on the choice of the formula, (1) or (2). There fore, the definition of mass for
a body in motion splits in three. ‘The amount of substance’ sp ecified by the attached number
from Def. 1 is no longer a measure of a inertia of the moving bod y.
(a) In order to determine the ‘amount of substance’, i.e. the attached number from Def. 1,
the body must be stopped and formula (1) or (2) used for a low sp eed. The number received
by this method is called the rest mass. By definition, this mas s does not change when the body
undergoes acceleration.
(b) If the body is not stopped to measure its mass, formula (1) is known to give no unam-
biguous result. Because the force and acceleration are not p roperties of the body, the coefficient
in formula (1) depends on the direction of the force relative to the body’s velocity. As a matter
of fact, this coefficient, in general, becomes a tensor. There fore, the definition of the mass by
2formula (1) is completely inadequate. It is even not worth co nsidering if the body’s speed is
not sufficiently low.
(c) In contrast, formula (2) is valid at any speed including t hat of light. For this reason,
it and only it gives the operational definition of the mass of a moving body. Such a mass is a
measure of the inertia of a moving body. It is called the relativistic mass .
It appears appropriate to cite M. Born once again: “In physic s, as we must very strongly
emphasize, the word masshas no meaning other than that given by formula p=mv. It is the
measure of resistance of a body to changes of velocity.” (See [1], p. 33)
At this point, a problem arises. Which of the two masses, the r est mass of (a) or the
relativistic mass of (c), is to be called simply mass and denoted by the letter mwithout a
subscript and thus regarded as the ‘chief’ mass. This is not a matter of terminology. The
problem has serious psychological and methodological impl ications.
It can be resolved through the comparison of the properties o f different masses. The rest
mass will be denoted by the symbol m0and the relativistic mass by the symbol m(otherwise,
the latter will have no simple designation at all).
3. System of particles
If two particles having momenta p1=m1v1andp2=m2v2join together into a single whole
system, the momenta are known to add up so that p=p1+p2.Moreover, the four-dimensional
momenta are also summed giving P=P1+P2.The 4-momentum Pis by definition tangential
to the world line of a particle in Minkowski space and its spat ial component equals an ordinary
momentum p. Hence, the time component is equal to the relativistic mass m:
P={m,p}.
This immediately leads to the conclusion that the relativis tic masses are simply summed
up:m=m1+m2,when particles join together into a system.
Things differ when rest masses come into question. In the 4-di mensional sense, the rest
mass of a particle is the modulus of its 4-momentum (to an accu racy of c):
m0=/radicalBig
m2−p2/c2.
Therefore, the rest mass of a pair of bodies with rest masses m01, m 02is not equal to the sum
m01+m02but is determined by a complicated expression dependent on m omenta p1,p2[4]:
m0=/radicalBigg/parenleftbigg/radicalBig
m2
01+p2
1/c2+/radicalBig
m2
02+p2
2/c2/parenrightbigg2
−(p1+p2)2/c2. (3)
A similar formula for the rest mass is presented in [6] (c = 1):
M2= (Esystem)2−(px
system)2−(py
system)2−(pz
system)2. (4)
It follows from formulas (3) and (4) that the rest mass is lack ing the property of additivity.
We think that physicists do not mean the rest mass when they sp eak about beauty as a criterion
for truth.
4. A violence to mind
3The thing is that both the relativistic mass (a time componen t of 4-momentum) and the
rest mass (its modulus) obey the conservation law. This is as certained in [4].
However, it is not so simple to accept that a non-additive qua ntity is conserved. Indeed,
according to (3) and (4), the rest mass of a system does not cha nge as a result of particle
collisions or nuclear reactions. But as soon as a system of tw o moving bodies is mentally
divided into two separate bodies, the rest mass will change b ecause the rest mass of the pair
is not equal to the sum of the rest mass of the bodies of the pair . In our opinion, the use of
non-additive notions entails a serious intellectual burde n: a pair of photons, each having no
rest mass, does have a rest mass.
Another very difficult question is: “Does energy have a rest ma ss?” The correct answer
may be as follows: the energy of two photons will have a rest ma ss when they move in opposite
directions. A system of two photons will have zero rest mass i f they move in the same direction
[4]. Thus, it appears that even the authors of the textbook [7 ] failed to solve the problem.
Furthermore, photons moving in the same direction have no re st mass while the rest mass
of the body which emitted them decreases. Therefore, it may b e suggested that some of the
body’s rest mass has been converted into the massless energy of photons. However, according
to (3), (4) the rest mass of the system body-photons has been c onserved during radiation!
Unable to bear such an intellectual burden, the advocates of the rest mass concept refuse
to adopt the law of conservation of the rest mass of a system, i n defiance of the formulas (3),
(4). Now, they state that “rest mass of final system increases in an inelastic encounter” ([6], p.
121). In contrast, nuclear reactions lead to ‘the mass defec t’. For example, in the synthesis of
deuteron, p + n = D + 0.2 MeV, its rest mass is less than that of th e neutron and proton.
At the same time, it follows from formulas (3), (4) that there must be no rest mass ‘defect’
during nuclear reactions. In our example, the allegedly lac king rest mass of the system at stage
D + 0.2 MeV is actually provided by a massless γ-quantum with the energy of 0.2 MeV. This
disturbs the additivity of the system’s rest mass.
It is easy to understand why the schoolboy dropped physics in the face of such a confusion
concerning the rest mass.
5. Underlying psychologic reason
For all that, many physicists consider the rest mass to be the ‘chief’ one and denote it by
the symbol minstead of m0.Simultaneously, they discriminate against the relativist ic mass and
leave it without notation. This causes an additional confus ion making it sometimes difficult to
understand which mass is really meant. This situation is exe mplified by the statement from [7]
cited above.
These physicists agree that the mass of a gas in a state of rest increases upon heating because
the energy contained in it grows. However, there seems to exi st a psychological barrier which
prevents relating this rise to a larger mass of individual mo lecules due to their high thermal
velocity.
The said physicists sacrifice the concept of a mass as a measur e of inertia, sacrifice the
additivity of mass and the equivalence of mass and energy to a label attached to each particle
and bearing information about a constant ‘amount of substan ce’, just because such a label is in
line with the deeply ingrained Newtonian concept of mass. Fo r them, radiation that ”transmits
inertia between emitting and absorbing bodies” (according to A Einstein [11]) has no mass.
The main psychological problem is how to establish the ident ity between mass and energy
(which varies) and regard these two entities as one. It is eas y to accept that E0=m0c2for a
4body at rest. The authors of Ref. [6] entitled Chapter 13 as “T he equivalence of energy and
rest mass”2It is more difficult to admit that the formula E=mc2is valid for any speed. The
remarkable formula E=mc2is described by L. B. Okun’ as ‘ugly’ [4].
Transition from the rest mass to the relativistic one in the r elativistic theory appears to
encounter the same psychological problems as transition fr om proper to relative time.
It is appropriate to quote from Max Planck here:
“An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by g radually winning over
and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul be comes Paul. What does
happen is that its opponents gradually die out and that the gr owing generation is
familiarized with the idea from the beginning: another inst ance of the fact that the
future lies with youth. For this reason a suitable planning o f school teaching is one
of the most important conditions of progress in science.” [1 2].
Unfortunately, the important concept of relativistic mass is carefully isolated from youth:
the present paper has been rejected by editors of the followi ng journals: “Russian Physics
Journal”, “Kvant” (Moscow), “American Journal of Physics” , “Physics Education” (Bristol).
“Physics Today”.
6. Conclusions
Thus, the relativistic mass has a natural operational defini tion based on the formula p=mv.
It is additive and obeys the law of conservation. Also, it is e quivalent to both energy and
gravitational mass. It should be referred to as mass and deno ted by the letter m.
The rest mass is not conserved or lacks the property of additi vity. Here, the advocates of
the rest mass concept contradict themselves; at first, they j ustly maintain that the rest mass
is conserved but not additive, then they say that it is additi ve but not conserved. It is not
equivalent to energy. It should be denoted as m0and used with caution especially if the notion
is applied to a system of bodies.
The relativistic mass together with momentum are transform ed as coordinates of an event
during transition to a new inertial laboratory:
m=m′+p′v/c2
/radicalBig
1−v2/c2, p=p′+m′v/radicalBig
1−v2/c2.
Specifically, if p′= 0 then m′=m0,and
m=m0/radicalBig
1−v2/c2, p=m0v/radicalBig
1−v2/c2.
It is worthwhile to note in conclusion that if instead of the c oordinates t, x,... we use the
coordinates t′, x′,... the relativistic mass mand the rest mass m0, which are both scalars, will
be expressed by the formulas
mc=ui′pj′gi′j′, m 0c=/radicalBig
pi′pj′gi′j′,
2The title is characteristically ambiguous implying the equ ivalence between the restenergy and the rest
mass.
5which are valid for the curved space of GTR. Here, ui′, pj′andgi′j′are the unit vector of the ex-
perimentalist, 4-momentum of the body, and metric tensor of the new coordinates, respectively.
It is assumed that for the initial coordinates t, x,...,ui=δi
0, g00= 1, gii=−1,...
A photon has no rest mass-energy, hence no proper frequency. But its mass-energy and
frequency can be measured in experiment as E=hν=cuipjgijand prove to be of any value
depending on the experimenter’s speed. I thank G. S. Lapidus whose comments helped to

ABSTRACT
New improvements to compute Mie scattering quantities are p resented. They are
based on a detailed analysis of the various sources of error i n Mie computations and on
mathematical justifications. The algorithm developed on th ese improvements proves to
be reliable and efficient, without size ( x= 2πR/λ) nor refractive index ( m=mR−imI)
limitations, and the user has a choice to fix in advance the des ired precision in the results.
It also includes a new and efficient method to initiate the down ward recurrences of Bessel
functions.
11. INTRODUCTION
The Mie theory of light scattering by a homogeneous sphere is used for many prob-
lems of atmospheric optics and also in other fields in Physics . The application of Mie
theory still needs modern computers for numerical calculat ions of the many functions and
coefficients involved. The primary difficulty is in the precise evaluation of expansion coef-
ficientsanandbn. This is further aggravated as xgets large, and when the calculation of
size distribution is needed. An optimization of computer ti me for reliable computation is
clearly of necessity.
The formulas for Mie scattering are well known1,2. Here we follow the notation of
Bohren and Huffman3. The scattering and extinction efficiency factors are given b y

wherey=mxandψn(z),ζn(z) are the Riccati-Bessel functions related to the spherical
Bessel functions jn(z) andyn(z):
ψn(z) =zjn(z)
ζn(z) =zjn(z)−izyn(z)(3)
These functions are known in closed form (Ref. 4, p. 437) but i t is more convenient to use
the recurrence relation
Xn+1(z) =Fn(z)Xn(z)−Xn−1(z),
Fn(z) = (2n+ 1)/z .(4)
whereXis any of the functions in eqn. (3).
Presently, there are many versions of Mie scattering comput er codes (Dave5,6,
Blattner7, Grehan and Gouesbet8,9, Wiscombe10,11, Goedecke et al.12, Miller13) and au-
thors who had been doing Mie calculations (Kattawar and Plas s14, Deirmendjian15, Quen-
zel and M¨ uller16, Bohren and Huffman3). These are reflected in performing our work.
2Some essential points should be addressed by any Mie scatter ing algorithm:
1) How to determine the number Nfor truncating a Mie series.
2) Whether the Riccati-Bessel functions will be computed by upward recursion or by
downward recursion.
3) If downward recursion is used, how to initialize it.
4) How to structure the algorithm in an efficient way.
Answers to all the above questions constitute the objective of this paper. We focus
particularly on analyzing the numerical error sources and s how that our Mie algorithm
permits users to prescribe a precision ǫbeforehand, to effect an efficient, reliable Mie
coefficients calculation. Needless to say, the precisely eva luated Mie coefficients an, bnare
required for calculating the angular scattering amplitude s1,2,3,5,6,10.
2. CONVERGENCE PROPERTIES OF THE MIE SERIES
In this section we shall estimate the error introduced in som e typical quantity such
as the efficiency factors, by keeping a finite number Nof partial waves in the Mie series.
We shall also find a criterion for choosing the value of N. In this section the quantities
an,bnthemselves are assumed to be computed exactly.
In order to investigate the convergence properties of the sc attering coefficients an,bn
we shall make use of very well known properties of the spheric al Bessel functions (e.g. ref.
4, p. 438 and ff.). Let us recall some properties which are rele vant for us:
i)
lim
n→∞ψn(z) = 0,lim
n→∞ζn(z) =∞. (5)
ii) Forz=xreal,ψn(x) andζn(x) have two distinct regimes as functions of n:
a) oscillating regime for n < x .ψn(x) andζn(x) keep changing their sign regularly,
and|ψn(x)|and|ζn(x)|are bounded by slowly changing functions of n.
b) exponential regime for n>x .ψn(x) becomes exponentially decreasing and |ζn(x)|
becomes exponentially increasing.
In view of these considerations one concludes from eqn. (2), that all the partial
wavesn < x (xbeing the size parameter from now on) will contribute to the M ie series
and convergence will appear only after nenters in the exponential regime. This is so
becauseψn(x),ψ′
n(x) go very quickly to zero in the numerator and ζn(x),ζ′
n(x) go to
infinity in the denominator. On the other hand ψn(y),ψ′
n(y) appear both in numerator
and denominator and therefore seem to play no role in the conv ergence. We can emphasize
3this fact by writing
an=ψn(x)
ζn(x)[a]n=ψn(x)
ζn(x)n(y/x−x/y) +xAn(y)−yAn(x)
n(y/x−x/y) +xAn(y)−yBn(x)
bn=ψn(x)
ζn(x)[b]n=ψn(x)
ζn(x)yAn(y)−xAn(x)
yAn(y)−xBn(x)(6)
where we have extracted the factor ψn(x)/ζn(x) responsible for the convergence of anand
bnand also we have reexpressed the ratios ψ′
n(z)/ψn(z) andζ′
n(x)/ζn(x) in terms of (ref.
4, p. 439)
An(z) =ψn−1(z)
ψn(z), B n(x) =ζn−1(x)
ζn(x)(7)
Let us state more clearly our assumption: we shall assume tha t the quantities
[a]n,[b]nare bounded by slowly varying functions of nin the exponential regime n > x .
The validity of this assumption will be analyzed in a later se ction.
If [a]nand [b]nare well behaved for large n, we can approximate them by their
asymptotic values in order to discuss the convergence of anandbn. In order to take ad-
vantage of this approximation we can use the asymptotic expa nsion of the Bessel functions
for large orders (ref. 4, p. 365),
An(z)∼Fn(z), B n(x)∼F−1
n(x) asn→ ∞ (8)
where the next term in the expansion has a higher power of 1 /n. We obtain
[a]n∼1−m2
1 +m2+O/parenleftbig1
n/parenrightbig
,[b]n∼O/parenleftbig1
n/parenrightbig
(9)
In practice, for x≤n≤N, [a]nand [b]nare both of the order of unity, (unless mis nearly
1, in which case [ a]n,[b]n≈0). On the other hand, recalling that mR≥1, it can be proved
that|1−m2
1+m2|<2, therefore a good enough estimate is
[a]n,[b]n≈1 (10)
Using this and the asymptotic values (8), it can be shown that the truncation error in Qe
is bounded by
δQe≤ |aN| (11)
The proof is presented in Appendix I where it is shown that the series/summationtext∞
n=N+1|an|
converges faster than some geometric series. Let us note tha t what actually appears in Qe
is Rean, not|an|, therefore the bound (11) will usually be conservative. Thi s is especially
true for small mIbecause in this case Re an∼ |an|2(i.e.Qe∼Qs) and|an|2≪ |an|for
n>N .
4Let us now find a criterion for choosing the number Nof partial waves that should
be taken into account. For this purpose let ǫbe the error allowed in the calculation, and
let us take δQeas a typical quantity in the problem. Then Nshould be taken so that
δQe≤ǫ (12)
Taking the quantity Qehas the advantage of being simple and also that δQs≤δQe,
because |an|2<Rean(i.e.Qs≤Qefor each partial wave). Other interesting quantities,
such as the scattering amplitudes, have similar convergenc e properties as QeandQs.
Putting together the bound (11), the criterion (12) and the e stimate (10) we find
the following prescription/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleψN(x)
ζN(x)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle≤ǫ (13)
In order to find something more convenient let us make use of th e Wronskian identity (ref.
4, p.439)
ψn(x)ζn−1(x)−ψn−1(x)ζn(x) = i, (14)
and the asymptotic values of An(x) andBn(x). In this way we obtain (within approxima-
tions keeping the order of magnitude)
ψn(x)ζn(x)≈ −iF−1
n(x), (15)
This allows us to remove ψn(x) from (13) and finally we obtain the prescription for N
|ImζN(x)| ≥/radicalbigg
1
ǫ, (16)
which has been written in a form convenient for being checked whileζn(x) is being com-
puted by upward recurrence. In getting (16) we have neglecte d a factorFN(x) from (15) be-
cause by doing so Nmay increase at most by one unit (recall that ζn(x)/ζn−1(x)≈Fn(x)).
Also we have used that Re ζn(x) =ψn(x) is negligible as compared to Im ζn(x) in the ex-
ponential region.
It is remarkable that the value of Nobtained from (16) for ǫ= 10−8is virtually
identical to the standard prescription N=x+cx1/3+ 1, withc= 4.3. It is shown in
Appendix II that it must be so using asymptotic expansions fo rζn(x), and also how to
modifycif some other precision ǫis desired. To know N(x) in advance is necessary if the
computer code is to be vectorized10,11.
3. NUMERICAL ERROR AND UPWARD RECURRENCE
In this section we shall discuss the propagation of numerica l error through the
calculation.
5It is known that the determination of ψn(z) by upward recursion is intrinsically
unstable (see e.g. ref. 5). Let us clarify this point.* For th e sake of simplicity let us
assume that the numerical error is coming from the initial va lues
˜ψ0(z) =ψ0(z) +ǫ0,˜ψ1(z) =ψ1(z) +ǫ1 (17)
but the recursion itself is free of roundoff error, i.e.
˜ψn+1(z) =Fn(z)˜ψn(z)−˜ψn−1(z) (18)
ǫ0,ǫ1being small numbers depending on the precision of the comput er, and ˜ψn(z) being the
numerical sequence that is actually obtained instead of the exact one,ψn(z). Subtracting
the exact recursion for ψn(z) from (18) we find
δψn+1(z) =Fn(z)δψn(z)−δψn−1(z) (19)
whereδψn(z) =˜ψn(z)−ψn(z) is the error in our numerical sequence. Any sequence
satisfying the recurrence relation (4) is a linear combinat ion ofψn(z) andζn(z), therefore
δψn(z) =ηψn(z) +η′ζn(z) (20)
The small numbers η,η′are directly related to ǫ0,ǫ1through eqn. (17), namely
η= i(ǫ0ζ1−ǫ1ζ0)
η′=−i(ǫ0ψ1−ǫ1ψ0)(21)
Recalling now that ζn(z) diverges for large nwe conclude that the absolute error in ˜ψn(z)
will eventually blow up. More generally, if the recursion it self is not exact due to computer
roundoff error, ˜ψn(z) is rather given by
δψn(z) =ηnψn(z) +η′
nζn(z) (22)
whereηn,η′
nare of the order of the roundoff error or the initial values err or, whichever the
largest. In any case the conclusion is still that δψn(z) is small for small n(or whilenis in
the oscillating regime for znearly real), but blows up when nenters in the exponentially
increasing regime of ζn(z). Sinceψn(z) itself goes to zero in the exponential regime, ˜ψn(z)
has less and less correct figures at each step.
We can extract some corollaries from the previous discussio n:
1) The upward recursion is always unstable for computing ψn(z) for large n, de-
pending on z. The error δψn(z) grows as |ζn(z)|. On the other hand the upward recursion
is perfectly stable for computing ζn(x) for any value of n. This is because δζn(x) still
* We thank one of the referees for providing us with a simpler p roof of this statement.
6grows as |ζn(x)|, therefore the relative error in ζn(x) is kept small. Note however that the
relative error in the quantity Re ζn(x) =ψn(x) is not at all small.
2) A downward recursion is stable for computing ψn(z), because |ζn(z)|is either
slowly changing (in the oscillating regime) or quickly decr easing with decreasing n(in the
exponential regime). This allows for taking even very rough estimates for the initial values
ofψn(z) in the downward recursion and the ratio ˜ψn−1(z)/˜ψn(z) will still quickly approach
the exact value An(z). On the other hand, a downward recursion is not appropriate for
computing ζn(x) or the ratio Bn(x) if it starts in the exponential regime.
Now let us study the influence of the numerical error on the an,bncoefficients, and
hence onQeif an upward recursion is used to compute ψn(x). In this analysis ζn(x)
andBn(x) are assumed to be exact due to previous considerations. On t he other hand
An(y) is also assumed to be exact. The effect of using approximate v alues ofψn(y) will be
considered later. We can make the discussion for an. Similar conclusions will hold for bn.
Eqn. (6) can be rewritten as
an=ψn(x)
ζn(x)f(An(x)), (23)
where only the An(x) dependence is shown explicitly as it is the only relevant on e for error
analysis. The relative error in anwill be given by
δan
an≈δψn
ψn+f′
fδAn
An. (24)
Recalling the definition (7), the relative error in Ancan be estimated to be of the same
order of magnitude as that of ψn, and taking into account that fis a smooth function of
the order of unity (cf. eqn. (10)), one gets the estimate
δan≈anδψn
ψn≈anη′ζn
ψn=η′f≈η′. (25)
where use has been made of eqn. (22) and η′is some typical value of η′
n.
This means that the absolute error in anorbn, remains roughly constant throughout
the computation. Of course eqn. (24) holds only for small δψn, but this is guaranteed
asNis of the order of xand so the recurrence does not go deep inside the exponential
region. The important consequence of eqn. (25) is that the up ward recursion can be used
to obtainψn(x) because the error introduced is of the order of the roundoff e rror (see
however the comment at the end of Section 6). Let us note that t his fact is consistent
with available algorithms for doing Mie calculations, wher eψn(x) andζn(x) are always
computed by upward recursion (e.g. refs. 5,11).
Let us consider now the effect of the numerical error coming fo rmψn(y). We have
argued before that an upward recursion would not be appropri ate for computing ψn(z) in
general, however we have just shown that it can be used in the c ase ofψn(x). The reason
7for this was that the relative error in ψn(x) grew asζn(x)/ψn(x) but the quantities anand
bnthemselves converged to zero as ψn(x)/ζn(x). Both factors cancel rendering δanand
δbnbounded. We cannot apply a similar argument to δψn(y) and therefore an upward
recursion is not reliable to compute ψn(y) for arbitrary y. We can consider two limiting
cases
a)mI= 0. In this case yis real and greater than x, thus the instability in ψn(y) starts
only after that in ψn(x), therefore the upward recursion can be used.
b) LargemI. From the initial values4
ψ0(z) = sin(z), ψ 1(z) =1
zsin(z)−cos(z)
ζ0(z) = i exp( −iz), ζ 1(z) =/parenleftbiggi
z−1/parenrightbigg
exp(−iz)(26)
one can see that ψn∼exp(mIx), ζn∼exp(−mIx), for small n, thusψnis much
larger than ζn. On the other hand ǫ0,1are related to the computer precision,
typicallyǫ0,1∼rψ0,1withr≈10−16in double precision. Upon substitution in (21)
we find that ηis small but η′∼rexp(2mIx) which is not necessarily small. The
relative error in ˜ψn(z) goes as
δψn(z)
ψn(z)≈r/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleψ0(z)
ζ0(z)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleζn(z)
ψn(z)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle(27)
For smallnthe relative error is small, of the order of r, however for n∼ |z|, where
ψnandζnare of the order of unity, the relative error is r|ψ0/ζ0| ∼rexp(2mIx)
which is large for large mI. Therefore the upward recursion is not stable in this
case.
To summarize, the upward recursion to compute ψn(y) can be used if mIis small
enough but becomes unstable for large mI. We have not analyzed in any detail in which
cases the upward recursion for ψn(y) is reliable, therefore we shall only consider downward
recurrences for this quantity. See however refs. 10,11 for a n extensive analysis of this
problem through computer experiments. Noting that all we ne ed is the ratio An(y), for
1≤n≤N, we can use the downward recursion
An(y) =Fn(y)−1
An+1(y). (28)
Computing the initial value AN(y) requires some algorithm such as that of Lentz17or the
one we present in the next section. Let us estimate now the pre cision required in AN(y) in
order not to introduce an error in Qelarger than the prescribed precision ǫ. By arguments
similar to those used for ψn(x), we have
δan
an≈δAn(y)
An(y)(29)
8whereδanis the error introduced by δAn(y). Given that the downward recursion is stable
we can assume that /vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleδan
an/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle≤/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleδAN(y)
AN(y)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleforn≤N (30)
Using this relationship one gets for the numerical error in Qe
δQe≈1
x2N/summationdisplay
n=1(2n+ 1)δan≤Qe/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleδAN(y)
AN(y)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle. (31)
Therefore the numerical error from An(y) will be under control by imposing
/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleδAN(y)
AN(y)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle≤ǫ
Qe. (32)
Let us note that this criterion will be conservative in gener al. An exception would be the
case ofybeing real and bigger than N. In this case the recurrence (28) has no healing
properties (for it already starts in the oscillatory regime ) and hence the equal sign is
reached in (30).
4. INITIALIZATION OF THE DOWNWARD RECURRENCE
In this section we present a new method to compute AN(z), of similar efficiency to
that due to Lentz17(actually ours needs one multiplication less at each step). This method
has the advantage of being able to implement a precision cond ition as that in eqn. (32),
hence controlling the required precision in An(y).
LetXn(z) andYn(z) be two sequences satisfying the recurrence (4) for some val ue
ofz(the dependence on zis irrelevant here). Then they will satisfy the Wronskian id entity
C=XnYn+1−Xn+1Yn (33)
whereCis independent of n. We can rewrite it as a difference equation
C=YnYn+1/braceleftbigg/parenleftbiggX
Y/parenrightbigg
n−/parenleftbiggX
Y/parenrightbigg
n+1/bracerightbigg
, (34)
and solve it in Xn
Xn=DYn+CYn∞/summationdisplay
k=n(YkYk+1)−1, (35)
Dbeing a constant. To write (35) we have assumed that Ynis a sequence going to infinity
for largen, which is true for almost any solution of the recurrence (4). If we takeYnas a
fixed sequence and regard C,Das free parameters, then Xnis the most general solution of
9the recurrence relation (4). In particular for D= 0,Xngoes to zero as ngoes to infinity,
as a consequence it must be proportional to ψn,
ψn(z) =C(z)Yn(z)∞/summationdisplay
k=n(Yk(z)Yk+1(z))−1(36)
The constant Ccancels after computing the ratio An(z)
An(z) =Y−1
n/braceleftbig
Yn−1+Y−1
n/bracketleftbig∞/summationdisplay
k=n(YkYk+1)−1/bracketrightbig−1/bracerightbig
. (37)
Finally, a simpler formula can be obtained for AN(z) by choosing as starting values for
the sequence Yn
YN−1= 0, Y N= 1 (38)
AN(z) =/bracketleftbig∞/summationdisplay
k=N(Yk(z)Yk+1(z))−1/bracketrightbig−1. (39)
About the convergence of the series in (39), we note that it is very fast when Ykenters
in its exponential regime. Note that for real ythe convergence begins only after k≥y.
A similar conclusion was reached by other authors11in Lentz’s method which basically
follows the same principle as ours and so has similar converg ence properties.
The sequence in eqn. (39) must be truncated at some value k=Min such a
way as to fulfill the requirement (32). This can be easily done by noting that the error
introduced in A−1
N(y) is of the order of the last term taken into account (this foll ows from
|Yk/Yk−1| ≈ |Fk|>2 for largek),
δA−1
N≈/parenleftbig
YMYM+1/parenrightbig−1. (40)
On the other hand we should require
|δA−1
N(y)| ≈/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleA−1
NδAN
AN/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle≤/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle1
FN(y)ǫ
Qe/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle(41)
where we have made use of eqns. (8) and (32). Recall now that fo rx≥1,FNandQeare
of the order of unity whereas for x≪1 the product of FNQeis still of the order of unity,
therefore the final criterion to truncate (39) is
/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/parenleftbig
YM(y)YM+1(y)/parenrightbig−1/vextendsingle/vextendsingle≤ǫ. (42)
To finish this section we shall show how to avoid ill-conditio ning in (39), which will appear
ifYkgets too near to zero for some value of k. To do this we can use the recurrence relation
(4) to write
1
Yk−1Yk+1
YkYk+1=Yk−1+Yk+1
Yk−1YkYk+1=Fk
Yk−1Yk+1, (43)
10which is well behaved even for Yk= 0.
5. COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHM
Using the previous ideas, we have developed a computational algorithm which we
shall briefly describe now. The input is x,mandǫand the main output are the coefficients
anandbn, andN. To start with, analytic expressions for ζ0(x) andζ1(x) are taken
to initiate an upward recurrence for ζn(x). This quantity is kept in a (complex) array
variable. The recurrence stops when the condition (16) is fu lfilled, providing the value
ofN. The quantities ψn(x) are automatically obtained as the real part of ζn(x). As a
second step, AN(y) is computed using eqns. (38), (39) and (42). Here we note tha t from a
computational point of view an equivalent form of (42) is mor e convenient, which consist
in doing the check for the absolute values of the real and imag inary parts. This is much
faster than computing the modulus of a complex number.
Then a downward recurrence is performed for An(y), eqn. (28), until n= 1. Si-
multaneously, anandbnare computed using ζn(x) andAn(y). The quantities QsandQe
can then be computed. We have not developed any especial algo rithm for computing the
scattering amplitudes S1andS2. To do this efficiently see for instance ref. 11.
The criteria developed above are intended to be robust, henc e they are rather con-
servative. As a consequence the error in Qeis smaller than the prescribed precision ǫ. This
is especially true for small values of x, whereas for x≫1, about two more figures than
expected are obtained. We point out also that Qsis always obtained as accurately as Qe
or more. This fact was expected because the criteria were sta ted for |an|whileQsgoes as
|an|2which converges faster.
6. RESONANT TERMS IN THE MIE SERIES
Let us recall that after eqn. (7) we stated a smoothness assum ption for the quantities
[a]n,[b]n, namely that they are nearly constant in the xexponential regime and do not
play any role in the convergence of the Mie series, which is on ly controlled by the ratio
ψn(x)/ζn(x). In particular this assumption implied that the highest pa rtial wave with a
relevant contribution is independent of m(cf. eqn. (16)). In other words, Nis a function of
xonly. This result is also supported numerically, (see for in stance refs. 10,11). Therefore
it was a surprise for us to discover that strictly speaking su ch a statement must be false.
Moreover, for any choice of Nas a function of xonly, and for any prescribed value of n,
n>N , one can always pick a value of m(in fact infinitely many of them) in such a way
that then-th term in the Mie series is not negligible, for instance one can makean= 1.
The consequence of this that in order to guarantee that the nu merical value of Qeis correct
within some prescribed precision, Nshould depend on mas well as on x.
In order to clarify the point let us consider the worst case, w hich is also the simplest,
namelymI= 0, i.e.yreal. This is the only case in which |an|or|bn|can reach the value
1. The point can be made for an: recalling that for zreal Reζn(z) =ψn(z), eqn. (2) can
11be rewritten as
an=ReDn
Dn
Dn=xζn(x)ψ′
n(y)−yζ′
n(x)ψn(y)(44)
whereDnis a complex quantity. Obviously an= 1 if and only if
ImDn= 0. (45)
Let us regard xandnas given and look for solutions of (45) in the variable y. The equation
can be rewritten as
1
yψ′
n(y)
ψn(y)=1
xImζ′
n(x)
Imζn(x)(46)
In the interval y>n,ψn(y) is a real oscillating function of ywith infinitely many zeroes.
Between two zeroes of ψn(y), the l.h.s. of eqn. (46) takes every real value, therefore t here
are infinitely many solutions to our equation for any values o fxandn, no matter how large
isnas compared to x. For these values of x,m, andn,anwill not at all be negligible.
Let us now show that these resonances do not occur for unreali stic values of m.
Typically (and asymptotically for large y) the distance between two consecutive zeroes of
ψn(y) is of the order of π, therefore for given xandnthe lowest resonant value of mwill
occur near the interval (n
x,n+π
x) approximately. For large xthis happens for mnear to
unity, and all the other resonant values will follow at a dist ance of about π/xfrom each
other.
From a rigorous point of view these findings would invalidate the estimates (10) and
their consequences. They would also invalidate any algorit hm in which Ndepends on x
only, namely every existent algorithm known to us. In fact th e only practical way to make
sure that the resonant partial waves have been accounted for would be to take Ngreater
thanyin order to guarantee that ψn(y) has no zeroes for n>N .
Nevertheless it is clear that in practice the existent algor ithms to do Mie scattering
calculations work. To account for this fact we should consid er not only the existence of
resonant partial waves but also their width. Let us show that for sensible choices of N(as
a function of x) and forn>N the resonances are so narrow that they will not normally
show up. Let y0be one the values of ysuch thatan= 1. A look to eqn. (44) shows
that for generic y, ReDngoes asψn(x) whereasDngoes asζn(x), therefore anis very
small. However for the especial value y0there is a cancellation between two huge numbers
in ImDn, leavinganof the order of unity. The range of values of yfor which a partial
cancellation takes place is related to the slope of Dniny=y0, namely
Γ≈/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleDn
D′n/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle
y=y0=/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleReDn
D′n/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle
y=y0≈/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleψn(x)
ζn(x)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle. (47)
WhereD′
n= dDn/dy. In other words, if Nis large enough only by a very careful choice of
morxcan one find one these resonant contributions. More precisel y, recalling eqn. (13),
12we can see that morxshould be fine tuned at least with a precision ǫin order to pick
a resonant term for some n > N . On the other hand, except for these rare cases, an,bn
are indeed small and of the order of ψn(x)/ζn(x), therefore our analysis applies. If mis
allowed to be complex, a more involved analysis would be need ed, but we expect that the
conclusion would not differ.
Let us finally note another consequence of the resonant terms on the calculation,
even when they are taken into account. For one of these terms t he quantity fin eqn. (23)
is no longer of the order of unity, on the contrary it is rather large, and the last step in
eqn. (25) cannot be taken. This means that a resonant term amp lifies the error due to
ψn(x). The cure is simply to compute ψn(x) by downward recursion for x<n<N . This
has in fact been observed in selected quantities such as the b ackscattering efficiency for
suitable values of xandm(Ref. 5).
7. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper we have addressed several points relevant to Mi e scattering calcula-
tions. To be specific:
a) We have estimated the error introduced in the calculation by truncating the Mie
series, thereby finding a prescription for choosing N. We have found that in the generic
caseNdepends on xonly.
b) The possible instabilities in the recursions used to comp uteψnandζnhave been
analyzed. We have found that upward recursion is always unst able for computing ψn(z)
ifnis large enough. However it can be used to compute ψn(x) in Mie calculations. As a
matter of fact ψn(x) is computed in this way in nowadays available algorithms. W e have
also found that upward recursion can be used for ψn(y) ifmIis small enough, but no
criterion is given for how small mIshould be.
c) A criterion has been established for the allowed error in ψn−1(y)/ψn(y).
d) A new method to compute ψn−1(y)/ψn(y) is presented which is efficient and
allows for controlling the error and removing ill-conditio ning.
e) It has been shown the existence of resonant terms in the Mie series which can also
appear forn>N . Strictly speaking the existence of these terms invalidate s any algorithm
in whichNis a function of xonly. However we have also shown that those resonant terms
are extremely rare, namely they appear with a probability of the order of ǫ.
A specific algorithm is also described. It is meant to be robus t and efficient for a
wide range of size parameters and refractive indices. With t his algorithm we have written
the computer program LVEC-MIE18, which is available both in single and double precision
contacting V.E. Cachorro.

tion (16) for given xandǫ, let us recall that Im ζn(x) =/radicalbig

use of the leading order term in the asymptotic expansion of Yνfor largeνand fixedc,

by
Bi(z) =z−1/4f(z) exp(2

wheref(z) is nearly constant for z >1 withf(z)≈1/√π, ref. 4, p. 449. Thus

The right hand side of (II.4) has a very strong dependence on cwhereas it depends very
smoothly on ν. Actually ( ν/2√
2)1/6is of the order of unity for ν= 1 up to 105. Therefore
using eqn. (16), cwill be determined by ǫ. We find that c= 4.3 corresponds to ǫ= 10−8.
Other values are c= 4.0, ǫ= 10−7, andc= 5.0, ǫ= 10−10, computed for ν= 100 in
(II.4).

We present classical trajectory calculations of the rota-
tional vibrational scattering of a non-rigid methane molec ule
from a Ni(111) surface. Energy dissipation and scattering
angles have been studied as a function of the translational k i-
netic energy, the incidence angle, the (rotational) nozzle tem-
perature, and the surface temperature. Scattering angles a re
somewhat towards the surface for the incidence angles of 30◦,
45◦, and 60◦at a translational energy of 96 kJ/mol. Energy
loss is primarily from the normal component of the transla-
tional energy. It is transfered for somewhat more than half
to the surface and the rest is transfered mostly to rotationa l
motion. The spread in the change of translational energy
has a basis in the spread of the transfer to rotational energy ,
and can be enhanced by raising of the surface temperature
through the transfer process to the surface motion.

I. INTRODUCTION
The dissociative adsorption of methane on transition
metals is an important reaction in catalysis; it is the rate
limiting step in steam reforming to produce syngas, and
it is prototypical for catalytic C–H activation. There-
fore the dissociation is of high interest for many surface
scientists. (See for a recent review Ref. 1.) Molecular
beam experiments in which the dissociation probability
was measured as a function of translational energy have
observed that the dissociation probability is enhanced by
the normal incidence component of the incidence trans-
lational energy.2–12This suggests that the reaction oc-
curs primarily through a direct dissociation mechanism
at least for high translational kinetic energies. Some ex-
periments have also observed that vibrationally hot CH 4
dissociates more readily than cold CH 4, with the energy
in the internal vibrations being about as effective as the
translational energy in inducing dissociation.2–4,8,7,13,9,10
A molecular beam experiment with laser excitation of the
ν3mode did succeed in measuring a strong enhancement
of the dissociation on a Ni(100) surface. However, thisenhancement was still much too low to account for the vi-
brational activation observed in previous studies and in-
dicated that other vibrationally excited modes contribute
significantly to the reactivity of thermal samples.14
It is very interesting to simulate the dynamics of the
dissociation, because of the direct dissociation mecha-
nism, and the role of the internal vibrations. Wave packet
simulations of the methane dissociation reaction on tran-
sition metals have treated the methane molecule always
as a diatomic up to now.15–20Apart from one C–H bond
(a pseudo ν3stretch mode) and the molecule surface dis-
tance, either (multiple) rotations or some lattice motion
were included. None of these studies have looked at the
role of the other internal vibrations, so there is no model
that describes which vibrationally excited mode might
be responsible for the experimental observed vibrational
activation.
In previous papers we have reported on wave packet
simulations to determine which and to what extent in-
ternal vibrations are important for the dissociation in
the vibrational ground state of CH 4,21and CD 4.22We
were not able yet to simulate the dissociation including
all internal vibrations. Instead we simulated the scatter-
ing of methane in fixed orientations, for which all inter-
nal vibrations can be included, and used the results to
deduce consequences for the dissociation. These simula-
tions indicate that to dissociate methane the interaction
of the molecule with the surface should lead to an elon-
gated equilibrium C–H bond length close to the surface,
and that the scattering was almost elastic. Later on we
reported on wave packet simulations of the role of vibra-
tional excitations for the scattering of CH 4and CD 4.23
We predicted that initial vibrational excitations of the
asymmetrical stretch ( ν3) but especially the symmetri-
cal stretch ( ν1) modes will give the highest enhancement
of the dissociation probability of methane. Although we
have performed these wave packet simulations in ten di-
mensions, we still had to neglect two translational and
three rotational coordinates of the methane molecule and
we did not account for surface motion and corrugation.
It is nowadays still hard to include all these features into
1a wave packet simulation, therefore we decided to study
these with classical trajectory simulations.
In this article we will present full classical trajectory
simulations of methane from a Ni(111) surface. We have
especially interest in the effect of the molecular rota-
tions and surface motion, which we study as a function
of the nozzle and surface temperature. The methane
molecule is flexible and able to vibrate. We do not
include vibrational kinetic energy at the beginning of
the simulation, because a study of vibrational excita-
tion due to the nozzle temperature needs a special semi-
classical treatment. Besides its relevance for the disso-
ciation reaction of methane on transition metals, our
scattering simulation can also be of interest as a refer-
ence model for the interpretation of methane scattering
itself, which have been studied with molecular beams
on Ag(111),24,25Pt(111),26–29and Cu(111) surfaces.30
It was observed that the scattering angles are in some
cases in disagreement with the outcome of the classi-
cal Hard Cube Model (HCM) described in Ref. 31.26,27
We will show in this article that the assumptions of this
HCM model are too crude for describing the processes
obtained from our simulation. The time-of-flight experi-
ments show that there is almost no vibrational excitation
during the scattering,28,29which is in agreement with
our current classical simulations and our previous wave
packet simulations.21,22
The rest of this article is organized as follows. We start
with a description of our model potential, and an expla-
nation of the simulation conditions. The results and dis-
cussion are presented next. We start with the scattering
angles, and relate them to the energy dissipation pro-
cesses. Next we will compare our simulation with other
experiments and theoretical models. We end with a sum-
mary and some general conclusions.
II. COMPUTATIONAL DETAILS
We have used classical molecular dynamics for sim-
ulating the scattering of methane from a Ni(111) sur-
face. The methane molecule was modelled as a flexible
molecule. The forces on the carbon, hydrogen, and Ni
atoms are given by the gradient of the model potential
energy surface described below. The first-order ordinary
differential equations for the Newtonian equations of mo-
tion of the Cartesian coordinates were solved with use of
a variable-order, variable-step Adams method.32We have
simulated at translational energies of 24, 48, 72, and 96
kJ/mol at normal incidence, and at 96 kJ/mol for inci-
dence angles of 30◦, 45◦, and 60◦with the surface normal.
The surface temperature and (rotational) nozzle temper-
ature for a certain simulation were taken independently
between 200 and 800 K.A. Potential energy surface
The model potential energy surface used for the clas-
sical dynamics is derived from one of our model poten-
tials with elongated C–H bond lengths towards the sur-
face, previously used for wave packet simulation of the
vibrational scattering of fixed oriented methane on a flat
surface.21,22In this original potential there is one part
responsible for the repulsive interaction between the sur-
face and the hydrogens, and another part for the in-
tramolecular interaction between carbon and hydrogens.
We have rewritten the repulsive part in pair potential
terms between top layer surface Ni atoms and hydrogens
in such a way that the surface integral over all these Ni
atoms give the same overall exponential fall-off as the
original repulsive PES term for a methane molecule far
away from the surface in an orientation with three bonds
pointing towards the surface. The repulsive pair interac-
tion term Vrepbetween hydrogen iand Ni atom jat the
surface is then given by
Vrep=A e−αZij
Zij, (1)
where Zijis the distance between hydrogen atom iand
Ni atom j.
The intramolecular potential part is split up in bond,
bond angle, and cross potential energy terms. The single
C–H bond energy is given by a Morse function with bond
lengthening towards the surface
Vbond=De/bracketleftBig
1−e−γ(Ri−Req)/bracketrightBig2
, (2)
where Deis the dissociation energy of methane in the gas
phase, and Riis the length of the C–H bond i. Disso-
ciation is not possible at the surface with this potential
term, but the entrance channel for dissociation is mim-
icked by an elongation of the equilibrium bond length Req
when the distance between the hydrogen atom and the
Ni atoms in the top layer of the surface become shorter.
This is achieved by
Req=R0+S/summationdisplay
je−αZij
Zij, (3)
where R0is the equilibrium C–H bond length in the gas
phase. The bond elongation factor Swas chosen in such
a way that the elongation is 0.054 nm at the classical
turning point of 93.2 kJ/mol incidence translational en-
ergy for a rigid methane molecule, when the molecule
approach a surface Ni atom atop with one bond pointing
towards the surface. The single angle energy is given by
the harmonic expression
Vangle=kθ(θij−θ0)2, (4)
where θijis the angle between C–H bond iandj, and
θ0the equilibrium bond angle. Furthermore, there are
2some cross-term potentials between bonds and angles.
The interaction between two bonds are given by
Vbb=kRR(Ri−R0)(Rj−R0). (5)
The interaction between a bond angle and the bond angle
on the other side is given by
Vaa=kθθ(θij−θ0)(θkl−θ0). (6)
The interaction between a bond angle and one of its
bonds is given by
Vab=kθR(θij−θ0)(Ri−R0). (7)
The parameters of the intramolecular potential energy
terms were calculated by fitting the second derivatives of
these terms on the experimental vibrational frequencies
of CH 4and CD 4in the gas phase.33,34

Theu’s are the displacements from the equilibrium po-
sitions, and ˆ ris a unit vector connecting the equilibrium
positions. The Ni atoms were placed at bulk positions
with a nearest-neighbour distance of 0.2489 nm. The pa-
rameters λijandµijwere fitted on the elastic constants35
and cell parameters36of the bulk. The values of all pa-
rameters are given in Table I.
B. Simulation model
The surface is modelled by a slab consisting of four
layers of eight times eight Ni atoms. Periodic boundary
conditions have been used in the lateral direction for the
Ni-Ni interactions. The methane molecule has interac-
tions with the sixty-four Ni atoms in the top layer of the
slab. The surface temperature is set according to the
following procedure. The Ni atoms are placed in equilib-
rium positions and are given random velocities out of a
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution with twice the surface
temperature. The velocities are corrected such that the
total momentum of all surface atoms is zero in all direc-
tions, which fixes the surface in space. Next the surface is
allowed to relax for 350 fs. We do the following ten times
iteratively. If at the end of previous relaxation the total
kinetic energy is above or below the given surface tem-
perature, then all velocities are scaled down or up with a
factor of√
1.1 respectively. Afterwards a new relaxation
simulation is performed. The end of each relaxation run
is used as the begin condition of the surface for the actual
scattering simulation.
The initial perpendicular carbon position was chosen
180 nm above the equilibrium z-position of the top layeratoms and was given randomly parallel ( x,y) positions
within the central surface unit cell of the simulation slab
for the normal incidence simulations. The methane was
placed in a random orientation with the bonds and an-
gles of the methane in the minimum of the gas phase
potential. The initial rotational angular momentum was
generated randomly from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribu-
tion for the given nozzle temperature for all three rota-
tion axis separately. No vibrational kinetic energy was
given initially. Initial translational velocity was given to
all methane atoms according to the translational energy.
The simulations under an angle were given parallel mo-
mentum in the [110] direction. The parallel positions
have been translated according to the parallel velocities
in such a way that the first collision occurs one unit cell
before the central unit cell of the simulation box. We
tested other directions, but did not see any differences
for the scattering.
Each scattering simulation consisted of 2500 trajecto-
ries with a simulation time of 1500 fs each. We calculated
the (change of) translational, total kinetic, rotational a nd
vibrational kinetic, intramolecular potential, and total
energy of the methane molecule; and the scattering an-
gles at the end of each trajectory. We calculated for
them the averages and standard deviations, which gives
the spread for the set of trajectories, and correlations co-
efficients from which we can abstract information about
the energy transfer processes.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
We will now present and discuss the results of our sim-
ulations. We begin with the scattering angle distribu-
tion. Next we will explain this in terms of the energy
dissipation processes. Finally we will compare our sim-
ulation with previous theoretical and experimental scat-
tering studies, and discuss the possible effects on the dis-
sociation of methane on transition metal surfaces.

3A. Scattering angles
Figure 1 shows the scattering angle distribution for dif-
ferent incidence angles with a initial total translational
energy of 96 kJ/mol at nozzle and surface temperatures
of both 200 and 800 K. The scatter angle is calculated
from the ratio between the normal and the total paral-
lel momentum of the whole methane molecule. We ob-
serve that most of the trajectories scatter some degrees
towards the surface from the specular. This means that
there is relatively more parallel momentum than normal
momentum at the end of the simulation compared with
the initial ratio. This ratio change is almost completely
caused by a decrease of normal momentum.
The higher nozzle and surface temperatures have al-
most no influence on the peak position of the distribu-
tion, but give a broader distribution. The standard de-
viation in the scattering angle distribution goes up from
2.7◦, 2.4◦, and 2 .2◦at 200K to 4 .4◦, 3.8◦, and 3 .4◦at
800K for incidence angles of 30◦, 45◦, and 60◦respec-
tively. This means that the angular width is very nar-
row, because the full width at half maximum (FWHM)
are usually larger than 20◦.37(The FWHM is approxi-
mately somewhat more than twice the standard devia-
tion.) The broadening is caused almost completely by
raising the surface temperature, and has again primarily
an effect on the spread of the normal momentum of the
molecule. This indicates that the scattering of methane
from Ni(111) is dominated by a thermal roughening pro-
cess.
We do not observe an average out-of-plane diffraction
for the non normal incidence simulations, but we do see
some small out-of-plane broadening. The standard de-
viations in the out-of-plane angle were 0.9◦, 1.8◦, 3.4◦
at a surface temperature of 200K, and 1.7◦, 3.3◦, and
6.0◦at 800K for incidence angles of 30◦, 45◦, and 60◦
with the surface normal. Raising the (rotational) noz-
zle temperature has hardly any effect on the out-of-plane
broadening.
B. Energy dissipation processes
1. Translational energy
Figure 2 shows the average energy change of some en-
ergy components of the methane molecule between the
end and the begin of the trajectories as a function of the
initial total translational energy. The incoming angle for
all is 0◦(normal incidence), and both the nozzle and sur-
face are initially 400K. If we plot the normal incidence
translational energy component of the simulation at 96
kJ/mol for the different incidence angles, then we see a
similar relation. This means that there is normal transla-
tional energy scaling for the scattering process in general ,
except for some small differences discussed later on.0150300450600

initial translational energy of 96 kJ/mol with incidence an gles
of 0◦, 30◦, 45◦, and 60◦with the surface normal. Both the
nozzle and surface temperature are: a) 200K, and b) 800K.
Most of the initial energy of methane is available as
translational energy, so it cannot be surprising that we
see here the highest energy loss. The translational energy
loss takes a higher percentage of the initial translational
energy at higher initial translational energies. Since al-
most all of the momentum loss is in the normal direction,
we also see that the loss of translational energy can be
found back in the normal component of the translational
energy for the non-normal incidence simulations.
The average change of the total energy of the methane
molecule is less negative than the average change in trans-
lational energy, which means that there is a net transfer
of the initial methane energy towards the surface dur-
ing the scattering. This is somewhat more than half of
the loss of translational energy. The percentage of trans-
fered energy to the surface related to the normal inci-
dence translational energy is also enhanced at higher in-
cidence energies. There is somewhat more translational
energy loss, and energy transfer towards the surface for
the larger scattering angles, than occurs at the compa-
rable normal translational energy at normal incidence.
This is caused probably by interactions with more sur-
face atoms, when the molecule scatters under an larger
angle with the surface normal.
In Fig. 2 we also plotted the average change of methane
potential energy and the change of rotational and vibra-
tional kinetic energy of methane. We observe that there
is extremely little energy transfer towards the potential
energy, and a lot of energy transfer towards rotational
4and vibrational kinetic energy. Vibrational motion gives
an increase of both potential and kinetic energy. Rota-
tional motion gives only an increase in kinetic energy. So
this means that there is almost no vibrational inelastic
scattering, and very much rotational inelastic scattering .

temperature were 400K.
Figure 3 shows the standard deviations in the energy
change of some energy components of methane versus the
initial translational energy at normal incidence for a noz-
zle and surface temperature of 200K. (The temperature
effects will be discussed below.) The standard deviations
in the energy changes are quite large compared to the
average values. The standard deviations in the change
of the methane translational energy and in the change
of methane rotational and vibrational kinetic energy in-
crease more than the standard deviation in the change of
methane total energy, when the initial translational en-
ergy is increased. We find again an identical relation if
we plot the standard deviations versus the initial normal
energy component of the scattering at different incidence
angles. The standard deviations are much smaller in the
parallel than in the normal component of the transla-
tional energy, so again only the normal component of the
translational energy is important. Although the stan-
dard deviations in the translational energy is smaller at
larger incidence angles than at smaller incidence angles,
we see in Fig. 1 that the spread in the angle distributionis almost the same. This is caused by the fact that at
large angles deviations in the normal direction has more
effect on the deviation in the angle than at smaller angles
with the normal.

perature are both 200K.
2. Surface temperature
An increase of surface temperature gives a small re-
duction of average translational energy loss (around 5
% from 200K to 800K at 96 kJ/mol normal incidence).
This is the reason why we do not observe a large shift
of the peak position of the scattering angle distribution.
However, an increase of surface temperature does have
a larger effect on the average energy transfer to the sur-
face, but this is in part compensated through a decrease
of energy transfer to rotational energy.
Figure 4 shows the standard deviations in the energy
change of the translational energy, the methane total en-
ergy, and the methane rotational and vibrational kinetic
energy as a function of the surface temperature. We ob-
serve that the standard deviation in the change of rota-
tional and vibrational kinetic energy hardly changes at
increasing surface temperature. At a low surface tem-
perature it is much higher than the standard deviation
in the change of the methane total energy. So the base-
line broadening of translational energy is caused by the
transfer of translational to rotational motion. The stan-
dard deviation in the change of the methane total energy
increases much at higher surface temperature. This re-
sults also in an increase of the standard deviation in the
change of translational energy, which means that the sur-
face temperature influences the energy transfer process
between translational and surface motion. The spread in
the change of translational energy is related to the spread
in the scattering angle distributions. It is now clear that
the observed broadening of the scattering angle distribu-
tion with increasing surface temperature is really caused
by a thermal roughening process.

3. Nozzle temperature
Figure 5 shows the dependency of the standard de-
viations for the different energy changes on the nozzle
temperature. From this figure it is clear that the noz-
zle temperature has relative little influence on the stan-
dard deviations in the different energy changes. There-
fore we observe almost no peak broadening in the scat-
tering angle distribution due to the nozzle temperature.
The nozzle temperature has also no influence on the av-
erage change of rotational and vibrational kinetic energy,
which means that this part of the energy transfer process
is driven primarily by normal incidence translational en-
ergy.

96 kJ/mol at normal incidence.
We have to keep in mind that we only studied the
rotational heating by the nozzle temperature, and that
we did not take vibrational excitation by nozzle heating
into account. From our wave packet simulations we know
that vibrational excitations can contribute to a strongenhancement of vibrational inelastic scattering.23So the
actual effect of raising the nozzle temperature can be
different than sketched here.
C. Comparison with other studies
1. Scattering angles and the Hard Cube Model
The angular dependnece of scattered intensity for a
fixed total scattering angle has only been measured at
Pt(111).26,27The measurement has been compared with
the predictions of the Hard Cube Model (HCM) as de-
scribed in Ref. 31. There seems to be more or less
agreement for low translational energies under an angle
around 45◦with the surface, but is anomalous at a trans-
lational energy of 55 kJ/mol. The anomalous behaviour
has been explained by altering the inelastic collision dy-
namics through intermediate methyl fragments.
Although our simulations are for Ni(111) instead of
Pt(111) and we calculate real angular distributions, we
will show now that the HCM is insufficient for describing
the processes involved with the scattering of methane in
our simulation. The HCM neglects the energy transfer
to rotational excitations, and overestimates the energy
transfer to the surface. This is not surprising, because
the HCM is constructed as a simple classical model for
the scattering of gas atoms from a solid surface. The
basic assumptions are that (1) the interaction of the gas
atom with a surface atom is represented by an impulsive
force of repulsion, (2) the gas-surface intermolecular po-
tential is uniform in the plane of the surface, (3) the sur-
face is represented by a set of independent particles con-
fined by square well potentials, (4) the surface particles
have a Maxwellian velocity distribution.31Assumption 1
excludes inelastic rotational scattering, because the gas
particle is an atom without moment of inertia. So the
HCM misses a large part of inelastic scattering. How-
ever, it still predicts scattering angles much more below
the incidence angles than we found from our simulation.
For example: The HCM predicts an average scattering
angle with the surface normal of 64◦from Ni(111), at an
incidence angle of 45◦at a surface temperature four times
lower than the gas temperature. This is much more than
for Pt(111), because the mass ratio between the gas par-
ticle and the surface atom is higher for Ni(111). There
are several explanations for this error. First, the assump-
tion 3 is unreasonable for atomic surfaces with low atom
weight, because the surface atoms are strongly bound to
each other. This means that effectively the surface has
a higher mass than assumed.38Second, there is no one-
on-one interaction between surface atom and methane
molecule, but multiple hydrogen atoms interacting with
different Ni atoms. Third, the methane molecule is not
rigid in contrast to assumption 1. We have followed the
energy distribution during the simulation for some tra-
jectories and find that the methane molecule adsorbs ini-
6tial rotational and translational energy as vibrational en -
ergy in its bonds and bond angles when close the surface,
which is returned after the methane moves away from it.
It would be nice to test our model with molecular beam
experiment of the scattering angles on surfaces with rel-
atively low atom weight, which also try to look at rota-
tional inelastic scattering.
2. Wave packet simulations
Let us now compare the full classical dynamics with
our fixed oriented wave packet simulations,21–23because
this was initial the reason to perform the classical dynam-
ics simulations. Again we observe very little vibrational
inelastic scattering. This is in agreement with the obser-
vations in the time-of-flight experiments on Pt(111).28,29
Since we used our wave packet simulations to deduce
consequences for the dissociation of methane, we have to
wonder whether the observed inelastic scattering in our
classical simulations changes the picture of the dissoci-
ation in our previous publications. Therefore we have
to look at what happens at the surface. We did so by
following some trajectories in time.
We find approximately the same energy rearrange-
ments for the classical simulations as discussed for the
wave packet simulations for the vibrational groundstate
in Refs. 22 and 23. Again most of the normal transla-
tional energy is transfered to the potential energy terms
of the surface repulsion [see Eq. 1]. This repulsive poten-
tial energy was only given back to translational energy
in the wave packet simulations, because the orientations
and surface were fixed. For the classical trajectory sim-
ulations presented in this article, the repulsive potentia l
energy is transfered to translational, rotational, and sur -
face energy through the inherent force of the repulsive
energy terms. We observe almost no energy transfers to
translational energy parallel to the surface, so exclusion
of these translational coordinates in the wave packet sim-
ulations do not effect our deduction on the dissociation.
The energy transfers to the rotational and surface en-
ergy during the collision make it harder for the molecule
to approach the surface. This will have a quantitative
effect on the effective bond lengthening near the surface,
but not a qualitative.
The remaining problem deals with the effect of rota-
tional motion on the dissociation probability and steer-
ing. Our first intension was to look for the favourable
orientation at the surface, but from following some tra-
jectories it is clear that steering does not seem to occur.
There is always some rotational motion, and the molecule
leaves the surface often with another hydrogen pointing
towards to surface than when it approaches the surface.
This indicates that multiple bonds have a chance to dis-
sociate during one collision. However, it will be very
speculative to draw more conclusion on the dissociation
of methane based on the scattering in these classical tra-jectory simulations. Classical trajectory simulation wit h
an extension of our potentials with an exit channel for
dissociation can possibly learn us more.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
We have performed classical dynamics simulations of
the rotational vibrational scattering of non-rigid methan e
from a corrugated Ni(111) surface. Energy dissipation
and scattering angles have been studied as a function of
the translational kinetic energy, the incidence angle, the
(rotational) nozzle temperature, and the surface temper-
ature.
We find the peak of the scattering angle distribution
somewhat below the incidence angle of 30◦, 45◦, and 60◦
at a translational energy of 96 kJ/mol. This is caused by
an average energy loss in the normal component of the
translational energy. An increase of initial normal trans-
lational energy gives an enhancement of inelastic scat-
tering. The energy loss is transfered for somewhat more
than half to the surface and the rest mostly to rotational
motion. The vibrational scattering is almost completely
elastic.
The broadening of the scattering angle distribution is
mainly caused by the energy transfer process of transla-
tional energy to rotational energy. Heating of the noz-
zle temperature gives no peak broadening. Heating of
the surface temperature gives an extra peak broadening
through thermal roughening of the surface.
The Hard Cube Model seems to be insufficient for de-
scribing the scattering angles of methane from Ni(111),
if we compare its assumptions with the processes found
in our simulations.

Abstract
Presented is an overview of electromagnetic versions of the so-called
X-type waves intensively studied since their invention in e arly 1990.-ies
in ultrasonics. These waves may be extremely localized both laterally
and longitudinally and – what has been considered as most sta rtling –
propagate superluminally without apparent spread. Spotli ghted are the
issues of the relativistic causality, variety of mathemati cal description and
possibilities of practical applications of the waves.

1 Introduction
More often than not some physical truths, as they gain genera l acceptance, en-
ter textbooks and become stock rules, loose their exact cont ent for the majority
of the physics community. Moreover, in this way superficiall y understood rules
may turn to superfluous taboos inhibiting to study new phenom ena. For ex-
ample, conviction that ”uniformly moving charge does not ra diate” caused a
considerable delay in discovering and understanding the Ch erenkov effect. By
the way, even the refined statement ”uniformly moving charge does not radiate
in vacuum” is not exact as it excludes the so-called transiti on radiation known
an half of century only, despite it is a purely classical effec t of macroscopic
electrodynamics.
In this paper we give an overview of electromagnetic version s of the so-
called X-type waves intensively studied since 1990.-ies [1 ]-[13]. The results
obtained have encountered such taboo-fashioned attitudes sometimes. Indeed,
these waves, or more exactly – wavepackets, may be extremely localized both lat-
erally and longitudinally and, what is most startling, prop agate superluminally
1without apparent diffraction or spread as yet. Furthermore, they are solutions -
although exotic - of linear wave equations and, hence, have n othing to do with
solitons or other localization phenomena known in contempo rary nonlinear sci-
ence. Instead, study of these solutions has in a sense reinca rnated some almost
forgotten ideas and findings of mathematical physics of the p revious turn of
the century. X-type waves belong to phenomena where a naive s uperluminality
taboo ”group velocity cannot exceed the speed of light in vac uum” is broken. In
this respect they fall into the same category as plane waves i n dispersive reso-
nant media and the evanescent waves, propagation of which (p hoton tunneling)
has provoked much interest since publication of papers [14] ,[15],[16] .Therefore
it is not surprising that tunneling of X waves in frustrated i nternal reflection
has been treated in a recent theoretical paper [17] .
Indeed, studies conducted in different subfields of physics, which are dealing
with superluminal movements, are interfering and merging f ruitfully. A convinc-
ing proof of this trend is the given Conference and the collec tion of its papers
in hand.
This is why in this paper we spotlight just superluminality o f the X waves,
which is now an experimentally verified fact [8],[9],[13], b ut which should not
be considered as their most interesting attribute in genera l. Their name was
coined within theoretical ultrasonics by the authors of the paper [1] which initi-
ated an intensive study of the X waves, particularly due to ou tlooks of applica-
tion in medical ultrasonic imaging. Possible superluminal ity of electromagnetic
localized waves was touched by the authors of Ref. [2] – who ha d derived the
waves under name ”slingshot pulses” independently from the paper [1] – and be-
came the focus of growing interest thanks to E .Recami (see [1 0] and references
therein), who pointed out physically deeply meaningful res emblance between the
shape of the X waves and that of the tachyon [18]. The paper [18 ] was published
in times of great activity in theoretical study of these hypo thetical superlumi-
nal particles. To these years belongs paper [19] where a doub le-cone-shaped
”electromagnetic tachyon” as a result of light reflection by a conical mirror was
considered. This a quarter-of-century-old paper seems to b e the very pioneering
work on X-waves, though this and the subsequent papers of the same author
have been practically unknown and only very recently were re discovered for the
X wave community (see references in the review [11]). Last bu t not least, if one
asked what was the very first sort of superluminal waves imple mented in physics,
the answer would be – realistic plane waves. Indeed, as it is w ell known, the
most simple physically feasible realization of a plane wave beam is the Gaussian
beam with its bounded cross-section and, correspondingly, a finite energy flux.
However, much less is known that due to the Gouy phase shift th e group veloc-
ity in the waist region of the Gaussian beam is slightly super luminal, what one
can readily check on the analytical expressions for the beam (see also Ref. [20]).
For all the reasons mentioned, in this paper we present – afte r an introduction
of the physical nature of the X-type waves (Section 2) - quite in detail a new
representation of the localized waves (Section 3). This rep resentation – what
we believe is a new and useful addition into the theory of X-ty pe waves – in a
sense generalizes the Huygens principle into superluminal domain and directly
2relies on superluminality of focal behavior of any type of fr ee-space waves, which
manifests itself in the Gouy phase shift. The startling supe rluminality issues
are briefly discussed in the last Section.
Figures showing 3-dimensional plots have been included for a vivid compre-
hension of the spatio-temporal shape of the waves, however, only few of the
animations showed in the oral presentation had sense to be re produced here in
the static black-and-white form. The bibliography is far fr om being complete,
but hopefully a number of related references can be found in o ther papers of
the issue in hand.
2 Physical nature of X-type waves
In order to make the physical nature of the X-type superlumin al localized waves
better comprehensible, we first discuss a simple representa tion of them as a
result of interference between plane wave pulses.
Fig.1. X-type scalar wave formed by scalar plane wave pulses containing three
cosinusoidal cycles. The propagation direction (along the axisz) is indi-
cated by arrow. As linear gray-scale plots in a plane of the pr opagation
axis and at a fixed instant, shown are (a) the field of the wave (r eal part if
the plane waves are given as analytic signals) and (b) its amp litude (mod-
ulus). Note that the central bullet-like part of the wave wou ld stand out
even more sharply against the sidelobes if one plotted the th e distribution
of the intensity (modulus squared) of the wave.
With reference to Fig.1(a) let us consider a pair of plane wav e bursts pos-
sessing identical temporal dependences and the wave vector s in the plane y= 0.
Their propagation directions given by unit vectors n/=[sin θ,0,cosθ] and
n\=[−sinθ,0,cosθ] are tilted under angle θwith respect to the axis z.In
spatio-temporal regions where the pulses do not overlap the ir field is given sim-
ply by the burst profile as Ψ P(η−ct), where ηis the spatial coordinate along
3the direction n/orn\, respectively. In the overlap region , if we introduce the
radius vector of a field point r= [x, y, z ] the field is given by superposition
ΨP(rn/−ct) + Ψ P(rn\−ct) = Ψ P(xsinθ+zcosθ−ct) +
+ Ψ P(−xsinθ+zcosθ−ct), (1)
which is nothing but the well-known two-wave-interference pattern with dou-
bled amplitudes. Altogether, the superposition of the puls e pair – as two
branches \and / form the letter X – makes up an X-shaped propagation-inv ariant
interference pattern moving along the axis zwith speed v=c/cosθwhich is
both the phase and the group velocity of the wave field in the di rection of the
propagation axis z. This speed is superluminal in a similar way as one gets a
faster-than-light movement of a bright stripe on a screen wh en a plane wave
light pulse is falling at the angle θonto the screen plane. Let us stress that
here we need not to deal with the vagueness of the physical mea ning inherent
to the group velocity in general – simply the whole spatial di stribution of the
field moves rigidly with vbecause the time enters into the Eq.(1) only together
with the coordinate zthrough the propagation variable zt=z−vt.
Further let us superimpose axisymmetrically all such pairs of waves whose
propagation directions form a cone around the axis zwith the top angle 2 θ, in
other words, let the pair of the unit vectors be n/=[sin θcosφ,sinθsinφ,cosθ]
andn\=[sin θcos(φ+π),sinθsin (φ+π),cosθ], where the angle φruns from
0 to 180 degrees. As a result, we get an X-type supeluminal loc alized wave in
the following simple representation

,(2)
where rt= [ρcosϕ, ρsinϕ, z t] is the radius vector of a field point in the co-
propagating frame and cylindrical coordinates ( ρ, ϕ, z ) have been introduced for
we restrict ourselves in this paper to axisymmetric or so-ca lled zeroth-order X-
type waves only. Hence, according to Eq.(2) the field is built up from interfering
pairs of identical bursts of plane waves. Fig.1 gives an exam ple in which the
plane wave profile Ψ Pcontains three cycles.
The less extended the profile Ψ P, the better the separation and resolution of
the branches of the X-shaped field. In the superposition the p oints of completely
constructive interference lie on the zaxis, where the highly localized energy
”bullet” arises in the center, while the intensity falls off a sρ−1along the branches
and much faster in all other directions (note that in contras t with Fig.1(a)
in the case of interference of only two waves the on-axis and o ff-axis maxima
must be of equal strength). The optical carrier manifests it self as one or more
(depending on the number of cycles in the pulse) halo toroids which are nothing
but residues of the concentric cylinders of intensity chara cteristic of the Bessel
beam. That is why we use the term ’Bessel-X pulse’ (or wave) to draw a
distinction from carrierless X waves. By making use of an int egral representation
of the zeroth-order Bessel function J0(v) =π−1/integraltextπ
0cos[vcos(φ−ϕ)]dφ, where
4ϕis an arbitrary angle, and by reversing the mathematical pro cedure described
in Ref. [9], we get the common representation of X-type waves as superposition
of monochromatic cylindrical modes (Bessel beams) of differ ent wavenumber
k=ω/c
ΨX(ρ, z, t) =/integraldisplay∞
0dk S(k)J0(ρksinθ) exp [ i(zkcosθ−ωt)], (3)
where S(k) denotes the Fourier spectrum of the profile Ψ P. Again, the Eq.(3)
gives for both the phase and the group velocities (along the a xisz– in the direc-
tion of the propagation of the packet of the cylindrical wave s) the superluminal
value v=c/cosθ.
3 X-waves as wakewaves
Although the representation Eq.(2) of the X-type waves as bu ilt up from two-
plane-wave-pulse interference patterns constitutes an ea sily comprehensible ap-
proach to the superluminality issues, it may turn out to be co unter-intuitive
for symmetry considerations as will be shown below. In this s ection we deve-
lope another representation introduced in Ref. [21], which is, in a sense, a
generalization of the Huygens principle into superluminal domain and allows
figuratively to describe formation of superluminal localiz ed waves.
As known in electrodynamics, the D’Alambert (source-free) wave equation
possesses a particular solution D0, which is spherically symmetric and can be
expressed through retarded and advanced Green functions of the equation, G(+)
andG(−), respectively, as
D0=c−2/bracketleftBig
G(+)−G(−)/bracketrightBig
=1
4πRc[δ(R−ct)−δ(R+ct)], (4)
where Ris the distance from the origin and δis the Dirac delta function. Thus,
the function D0represents a spherical delta-pulse-shaped wave, first (at n egative
times t) converging to the origin (the right term) and then (at posit ive times t)
diverging from it. The minus sign between the two terms, whic h results from the
requirement that a source-free field cannot have a singular p ointR= +0, is of
crucial importance as it assures vanishing of the function a tt= 0. This change
of the sign when the wave goes through the collapsed stage at t he focus is also
responsible for the 90 degrees phase factor associated with the Huygens-Fresnel-
Kirchhoff principle and for the Gouy phase shift peculiar to a ll focused waves.
From Eq.(4), using the common procedure one can calculate Li ´ enard-Wiechert
potentials for a moving point charge qflying, e.g. with a constant velocity v
along axis z. However, as D0includes not only the retarded Green function
but also the advanced one and therefore what is moving has to b e considered
as a source coupled with a sink at the same point. For such a Huy gens-type
source there is no restriction v≤cand for superluminal velocity v/c > 1
5we obtain axisymmetric scalar and vector potentials (in CGS units, Lorentz
gauge) Φ( ρ, z, t) andA(ρ, z, t) = Φ( ρ, z, t)v/c, where ρis the radial distance of
the field point from the axis z, the velocity vector is v=[0,0, v], and

(5)
where Θ( x) denotes the Heaviside step function. Here for the sake of si mplicity
we do not calculate the electromagnetic field vectors EandH(orB), neither will
we consider dipole sources and sinks required for obtaining non-axisymmetric
fields. We will restrict ourselves to scalar fields obtained a s superpositions of
the potential given by the Eq.(5). The first of the two terms in the Eq.(5)
gives an electromagnetic Mach cone of the superluminally fly ing charge q. In
other words – it represents nothing but a shock wave emitted b y a superluminal
electron in vacuum, mathematical expression for which was f ound by Sommer-
feld three decades earlier than Tamm and Frank worked out the theory of the
Cherenkov effect, but which was forgotten as an unphysical re sult after the spe-
cial theory of relativity appeared [22]. The second term in t he Eq.(5) describes
a leading and reversed Mach cone collapsing into the superlu minal sink coupled
with the source and thus feeding the latter. Hence, the parti cular solution to
the wave equation which is given by the Eq.(5) represents a do uble-cone-shaped
pulse propagating rigidly and superluminally along the axi sz. In other words
– it represents an X-type wave as put together from (i) the con e of incoming
waves collapsing into the sink, thereby generating a superl uminal Huygens-type
point source and from (ii) wakewave-type radiation cone of t he source. Let it be
recalled that the field given by the Eq.(5) had been found for δ-like spatial distri-
bution of the charge. That is why the field diverges on the surf ace of the double
cone or on any of its X-shaped generatrices given by ( z−vt) =±ρ/radicalbig
v2/c2−1
and the field can be considered as an elementary one constitut ing a base for
constructing various X-type waves through appropriate lin ear superpositions.
Hence, any axisymmetric X-type wave could be correlated to i ts specific (con-
tinuous and time-dependent) distribution ρ=δ(x)δ(y)λ(z, t) of the ”charge” (or
the sink-and-source) with linear density λ(z, t) on the propagation axis, while
the superluminal speed of the wave corresponds to the veloci tyvof propagation
of that distribution along the axis, i.e. λ(z, t) =λ(z−vt).
Let us introduce a superluminal version of the Lorentz trans formation co-
efficient γ= 1//radicalbig
v2/c2−1 = cot θ, where θis the Axicon angle considered
earlier and let us first choose the ”charge” distribution λ(z−vt) =λ(zt) as a
Lorentzian. In this case the field potential is given as convo lution of Eq.(5) with
the normalized distribution, which can be evaluated using F ourier and Laplace
transform tables:

, (6)
where ∆ is the HWHM of the distribution and zt=z−vtis, as in the preceding
section, the axial variable in the co-propagating frame. Th e resulting potential
shown in Fig.2 (a) moves rigidly along the axis z(from left to right in Fig.2)
with the same superluminal speed v > c. The plot (a) depicts qualitatively also
the elementary potential as far as the divergences of the Eq. (5) are smoothed
out in the Eq.(6).

(b) parts of the field of the simplest X-wave. The velocity v= 1.005cand,
correspondingly, the superluminality parameter γ= 10. Distance between
7grid lines on the basal plane is 4∆ along the axis ztand 20∆ along the
lateral axis, the unit being the half-width ∆.
We see that an unipolar and even ”charge” distribution gives an odd and
bipolar potential, as expected, while the symmetry of the pl ot differs from what
might be expected from superimposing two plane wave pulses u nder the tilt
angle 2 θ. Indeed, in the latter case the plane waves are depicted by ea ch of
the two diagonal branches ( \and /) of the X-shaped plot and therefore the
profile of the potential on a given branch has to retain its sig n and shape if one
moves from one side of the central interference region to ano ther side along the
same branch. Disappearance of the latter kind of symmetry, w hich can be most
distinctly followed in the case of bipolar single-cycle pul ses – just the case of
Fig.2 a – is due to mutual interference of all the plane wave pa irs forming the
cone as φruns from 0 to π.
Secondly, let us take the ”charge” distribution as a dispers ion curve with
the same width parameter ∆ , i.e. as the Hilbert transform of t he Lorentzian.
Again, using Fourier and Laplace transform tables, we readi ly obtain:

The potential of the Eq.(7) depicted in Fig.2 (b) is – with acc uracy of a real
constant multiplier – nothing but the well-known zeroth-or der unipolar X wave,
first introduced in Ref. [1] and studied in a number of papers a fterwards. Hence,
we have demonstrated here how the real and imaginary part of t he simplest X-
wave solution
ΦX0(ρ, zt)∝1/radicalbig
(∆−izt)2+ρ2/γ2(8)
of the free-space wave equation can be represented as fields g enerated by cor-
responding ”sink-and-source charge” distributions movin g superluminally along
the propagation axis. The procedure how to find for a given axi symmetric X-
type wave its ”generator charge distribution” is readily de rived from a closer
inspection of the Eq.(5). Namely, on the axis z, i. e. for ρ= 0, the Eq.(5) consti-
tutes the Hilbert transform kernel for the convolution. The refore, the ”charge”
distribution can be readily found as the Hilbert image of the on-axis profile of
the potential and vice versa.
Hence, we have obtained a figurative representation in which the superlu-
minal waves can be classified viathe distribution and other properties of the
Huygens-type sources propagating superluminally along th e axis and thus gen-
erating the wave field [24]. Such representation – which may b e named as
Sommerfeld representation to acknowledge his unfortunate result of 1904 – has
been generalized to nonaxisymmetric and vector fields and ap plied by us to
various known localized waves [23].

Fig.3. The longitudinal-lateral dependences of the real pa rt (a) and the mod-

the same as in Fig.2. The new parameter of the wave – the wavele ngth
λ= 2π/kzof the optical carrier being the unit, the distance between g rid
lines on the basal plane is 1 λalong the axis ztand 5λalong the lateral
axis, while the half-width ∆ = λ/2. For visible light pulses λis in sub-
micrometer range, which means that the period of the cycle as well as full
duration of the pulse on the propagation axis are as short as a couple of
femtoseconds.
For example, in optical domain one has to deal with the so-cal led Bessel-X
wave [3]-[9], which is a band-limited and oscillatory versi on of the X wave. It is
obvious that for the Bessel-X wave the ”charge” distributio n contains oscillations
corresponding to the optical carrier of the pulse. Bandwidt h (FWHM) equal
to ( or narrower than) the carrier frequency roughly corresp onds to 2-3 ( or
more) distinguishable oscillation cycles of the field as wel l as of the ”charge”
along the propagation axis. Fortunately, few-cycle light p ulses are affordable in
9contemporary femtosecond laser optics. On the other hand, i f the number of the
oscillations in the Bessel-X wave pulse (on the axis z) is of the order n≃10, the
X-branching occurs too far from the propagation axis, i.e. i n the outer region
where the field practically vanishes and, with further incre ase of n, the field
becomes just a truncated Bessel beam. The analytic expressi on for a Bessel-X
wave depends on specific choice of the oscillatory function o r, equivalently, of
the Fourier spectrum of the pulse on the axis z. One way to obtain a Bessel-
X wave possessing approximately noscillations is to take a derivative of the
order m=n2from the Eq.(8) with respect to zt(orzort), which according
to Eqs.(6),(7) is equivalent to taking the same derivative f rom the distribution
function. The mth temporal derivative of the common X wave can be expressed
in closed form through the associated Legendre polynoms [5] . Another way is
to use the following expression, which for n/greaterorsimilar3 approximates well the field of
the Bessel-X wave with a near-Gaussian spectrum [3],[6]

the Bessel function also complex .The longitudinal wavenum berkz=kcosθ=
(ω/c)cosθtogether with the half-width ∆ (at 1 /e-amplitude level on the axis
z) are the parameters of the pulse. Again, dependence on z, tthrough the single
propagation variable zt=z−vtindicates the propagation-invariance of the
wave field shown in Fig.3.
4 Application prospects of the X-type waves
Limited aperture of practically realizable X-type waves ca uses an abrupt decay
of the interference structure of the wave after flying rigidl y over a certain dis-
tance. However, the depth of invariant propagation of the ce ntral spot of the
wave can be made substantial – by the factor cot θ=γ= 1//radicalbig
v2/c2−1 larger
than the aperture diameter. Such type of electromagnetic pu lses, enabling di-
rected, laterally and temporally concentrated and nonspre ading propagation of
wavepacket energy through space-time have a number of poten tial applications
in various areas of science and technology. Let us briefly con sider some results
obtained along this line.
Any ultrashort laser pulse propagating in a dispersive medi um – even in air
– suffers from a temporal spread, which is a well-known obstac le in femtosecond
optics. For the Bessel-X wave with its composite nature, how ever, there exists
a possibility to suppress the broadening caused by the group -velocity disper-
sion [3],[7]. Namely, the dispersion of the angle θ, which is to a certain extent
inherent in any Bessel-X wave generator, can be played again st the dispersion
10of the medium with the aim of their mutual compensation. The i dea has been
verified in an experimental setup with the lateral dimension and the width of
the temporal autocorrelation function of the Bessel-X wave pulses, respectively,
of the order of 20 microns and 200 fs [8]. Thus, an application of optical X-type
waves has been worked out – a method of designing femtosecond pulsed light
fields that maintain their strong (sub-millimeter range) lo ngitudinal and lateral
localization in the course of superluminal propagation int o a considerable depth
of a given dispersive medium.
Optical Bessel-X waves allow to accomplish a sort of diffract ion-free trans-
mission of arbitrary 2-dimensional images [3],[6]. Despit e its highly localized
”diffraction-free” bright central spot, the zeroth-order m onochromatic Bessel
beam behaves poorly in a role of point-spread function in 2-D imaging. The
reason is that its intensity decays too slowly with lateral d istance, i.e. as ∼ρ−1.
On the contrary, the Bessel-X wave is offering a loop hole to ov ercome the
problem. Despite the time-averaged intensity of the Bessel -X wave possesses
the same slow radial decay ∼ρ−1due to the asymptotic behavior along the
X-branches, an instantaneous intensity has the strong Gaus sian localization in
lateral cross-section at the maximum of the pulse and theref ore it might serve as
a point-spread function with well-constrained support but also with an extraor-
dinary capability to maintain the image focused without any spread over large
propagation depths. By developing further this approach it is possible to build
a specific communication system [25]. Ideas of using the wave s in high-energy
physics for particle acceleration – one of such was proposed already two decades
ago [26] – are not much developed as yet.
It is obvious that for a majority of possible applications th e spread-free
central spot is the most attractive peculiarity of the X-typ e waves. The better
the faster the intensity decay along lateral directions and X-branches is. In this
respect a new type of X waves – recently discovered Focused X w ave [12] – seems
to be rather promising.
As one can see in Fig.4. and by inspecting an analytical expre ssion for the
wave
ΦFX0(ρ, z, t) =∆exp( k0γ∆)
R(ρ, zt)exp [ik0γ[iR(ρ, zt) + (v/c)z−ct]], (10)
where R(ρ, zt) =/radicalBig
[∆ +izt]2+ (ρ /γ)2andk0is a parameter of carrier
wavenumber type, the wave is very well localized indeed. How ever, like luminal
localized waves called Focus Wave Modes [2],[12], for this w ave propagation-
invariant is the intensity only, while the wave field itself c hanges during propaga-
tion in an oscillatory manner due to the last phase factor exp [ik0γ[(v/c)z−ct]]
in the Eq.(10), which has another z, t-dependence than through the propaga-
tion variable zt=z−vt. An animated version of Fig.4(a), made for the oral
presentation of the paper, shows that the oscillatory modul ation moves in the
direction −z, i.e. opposite to the pulse propagation.

To our best knowledge, the superluminal Focused X wave has no t realized
experimentally yet, but probably the approach worked out fo r luminal Focus
Wave Modes recently [27] may help to accomplish that.
5 Discussion and conclusions
Let us make finally some remarks on the intriguing superlumin ality issues of the
X-type wave pulses. Indeed, while phase velocities greater thancare well known
in various fields of physics, a superluminal group velocity m ore often than not is
considered as a taboo, because at first glance it seems to be at variance with the
special theory of relativity, particularly, with the relat ivistic causality. However,
12since the beginning of the previous century – starting from S ommerfeld’s works
on plane-wave pulse propagation in dispersive media and pre cursors appearing
in this process – it is known that group velocity need not to be a physically
profound quantity and by no means should be confused with sig nal propagation
velocity. But in case of X-type waves not only the group veloc ity exceeds cbut
the pulse as whole propagates rigidly faster than c.
A diversity of interpretations concerning this startling b ut experimentally
verified fact [9],[13] can be encountered. On the one end of th e scale are
claims, based on a sophisticated mathematical considerati on, that the relativis-
tic causality is violated in case of these pulses [11]. A rece nt paper [28] devoted
to this issue proves, however, that the causality is not viol ated globally in the
case of the X-type waves, but still the author admits a possib ility of noncausal
signalling locally.
On the opposite end of the scale are statements insisting tha t the pulse is
not a real one but simply an interference pattern rebuilt at e very point of its
propagation axis from truly real plane wave constituents tr avelling at a slight
tilt with respect to the axis. Such argumentation is not wron g but brings us
nowhere. Of course, there is a similarity between superlumi nality of the X wave
and a faster-than-light movement of the cutting point in the scissors effect or
of a bright stripe on a screen when a plane wave light pulse is f alling at the
angle θonto the screen plane. But in the central highest-energy par t of the X
wave there is nothing moving at the tilt angle. The phase plan es are perpendic-
ular to the axis and the whole field moves rigidly along the axi s. The Pointing
vector lays also along the axis, however, the energy flux is no t superluminal.
Hence, to consider the X waves as something inferior compare d to ”real” pulses
is not sound. Similar logic would bring one to a conclusion th at femtosecond
pulses emitted by a mode-locked laser are not real but ”simpl y an interference”
between the continuous-wave laser modes. In other words, on e would ignore
the superposition principle of linear fields, which implies reversible relation be-
tween ”resultant” and ”constituent” fields and does not make any of possible
orthogonal basis inferior than others. Moreover, even plan e waves, as far as they
are truly real ones, suffer from a certain superluminality. I ndeed, as it is well
known, the most simple physically feasible realization of a plane wave beam is
the Gaussian beam with its constrained cross-section and, c orrespondingly, a
finite energy flux. However, one can readily check on the analy tical expressions
for the beam (see also Ref. [20]) that due to the Gouy phase shi ft the group
velocity in the waist region of the Gaussian beam is slightly superluminal.
We are convinced that the X-type waves are not – and cannot be – at vari-
ance with the special theory of relativity since they are der ived as solutions to
the D’Alambert wave equation and corresponding electromag netic vector fields
are solutions to the Maxwell equations. The relativistic ca usality has been in-
herently built into them as it was demonstrated also in the pr esent paper, when
we developed the Sommerfeld representation basing upon the relativistically
invariant retarded and advanced Green functions. An analys is of local evolu-
tion and propagation of a ”signal mark” made, e. g. by a shutte r onto the
X wave is not a simple task due to diffractive changes in the fiel d behind the
13”mark”. Therefore conclusions concerning the local causal ity may remain ob-
scured. However, a rather straightforward geometrical ana lysis in the case of
infinitely wideband X wave (with the width parameter ∆ →0 ) shows that the
wave cannot carry any causal signal between two points along its propagation
axis. So, we arrive at conclusion that the X-type waves const itute one exam-
ple of ”allowed” but nontrivial superluminal movements. As a matter of fact
– although perhaps it is not widely known – superluminal move ments allowed
by the relativistic causality have been studied since the mi ddle of the previous
century (see references in [22]). For example, the reflectio n of a light pulse
on a metallic planar surface could be treated as 2-dimension al Cherenkov-Mach
radiation of a supeluminal current induced on the surface. I n the same vain, the
representation of the X waves as generated by the Huygens-ty pe sources might
be developed further, vis. we could place a real wire along th e propagation axis
and treat the outgoing cone of the wave as a result of cylindri cal reflection of
(or of radiation by the superluminal current in the wire indu ced by) the leading
collapsing cone of the wave.
In conclusion, superluminal movement of individual materi al particles is not
allowed but excitations in an ensemble may propagate with an y speed, however,
if the speed exceeds cthey cannot transmit any physical signal. Last two decades
have made it profoundly clear how promising and fruitful is s tudying of the
superluminal phenomena instead of considering them as a sor t of trivialities or
taboos. We have in mind here not only the localized waves or ph oton tunneling
or propagation in inverted resonant media, etc., but also – o r even first of all
– the implementation and application of entangled states of Einstein-Podolsky-
Rozen pairs of particles in quantum telecommunication and c omputing.

Abstract:
The study presented here was initiated by a discussion to investigate the possibility of using
synchrotron radiation as a source for the Next Generation Lithography (NGL) based on the EUV-concept (Extreme Ultra-Violet; here 13.5 nm or 11.3 nm radiation, respectively). The requirements are: 50 W, 2% bandwidth and minimal power outside this bandwidth. Three options were investigated. The first two deal with radiation from bending magnets and undulators. The results confirm the earlier work by Oxfords Instrument and others that these light-sources lack in-band power while emitting excessive out-of-band radiation. The third approach is a FEL (Free Electron Laser) driven by a 500 MeV linear accelerator with a superconducting mini-undulator as radiation emitting device. Such a device would produce in-band EUV-power in excess of 50 W with negligible out-of-band power.

1. Introduction
Lithography, the technique for manufacturing microelectronic semiconductor devices such as
processors or memory chips, presently uses deep UV (DUV) radiation. The main radiation source is the 193 nm line of an ArF excimer laser [1]. Future sources will be F
2 lasers at a
wavelength of 157 nm and eventually H 2 lasers at a wavelength of 127 nm.
In addition, advanced lithography technologies (Next Generation of Lithography: NGL) based on EUV, X-ray photons, electrons, and ions are being investigated by chip makers and equipment manufacturers. The competing technologies are: SCALPEL electron lithography (Scattering with Angular Limitation in Projection Electron-Beam Lithography) [2], Ion Projection Lithography [3], X-ray Proximity Lithography [4] and Extreme UV Lithography [5]. The latter is being considered as one of the most promising. In the US a program to develop this technology was set up as early as in 1994 by the EUV LLC (Limited Liability Corporation) in cooperation with the VNL (Virtual National Lab). Members of VNL are LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Lab), LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab) and Sandia National Lab. In Japan
the ASET consortium was funded (Association of Super-Advanced Electronics Technologies)
[6]. During the research phase the needs for a EUV source suitable for future production lines were identified. The main requirements are: Wavelength: 13.5 nm (=92 eV) or 11.3 nm Page 4 of 32 Bandwidth: 2%
Output power: 25 W (first step) and later 50 W In addition, the power radiated outside this band has to be less than 500 W to avoid thermal problems on the optics. The development of a suitable source is one of the big challenges in EUV lithography. Basically, powerful sources of EUV photons may be based on either plasmas [7] (produced by laser irradiation of matter or by gas discharges) or on relativistic electrons (synchrotron radiation). In Europe, the development of synchrotron radiation-based EUV sources [8] was partly supported by the European Union within the framework of the EUCLIDES program [9]. Similar investigations were performed in Japan [10] and the USA [11]. The studies showed that conventional storage rings with and without additional magnets (normal conducting or superconductive wigglers or undulators) do not fulfil all the above-mentioned specifications for the EUV source. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research initiated at the beginning of 2000 a program on plasmas generated by lasers or gas discharges as sources of EUV light for the next generation lithography (NGL). In the initial phase of this project it was felt that sources based on synchrotron radiation should be reconsidered. In the first quarter of 2000 the authors
presented their report. The present paper is a shortened version of this report. The result was
that among all possible sources based on synchrotron radiation only a Free Electron Laser can meet the above mentioned stringent requirements at 13.5 nm. In summer 2000 a group at DESY published independently a paper in which the design of a SASE Free Electron Laser source for lithography at 70 nm is described [33 ] confirming at least in principle the viability of the FEL concept.

2. Incoherent radiation from the storage rings
In the following the results already obtained in the EUCLIDES study are summarized for
reference. A model storage ring is shown in fig.1. The parameters which are needed to calculate the emitted photon intensity at 13.5 nm within the required bandwidth of 2% are - electron energy
– magnetic field strength
– electron current
The maximum storable current depends on two limitations: beam instabilities and intrabeam scattering (Touschek-Effect) [12]. Beam instabilities can be defeated by feedback systems. The Touschek lifetime for an unpolarized beam is approximately

where r e = 2,8.10-15 m (classical electron radius). N is the number of particles per bunch.
Assuming a 500 MHz RF frequency N is equal to 1,25.1010 for a stored beam of 1 A. γ is the
ratio between energy and rest energy.
The rest of the parameters describes the particle density in relation to the region in which the particles are stable, the so-called energy acceptance.
ε
acc is the energy acceptance of the storage ring. A particle gets lost when the scattering is so
violent that a particle changes its energy by more than that. The scattering probability
depends on the density of the particles in the bunch. The parameter ζ = (εacc/γσ´x)2. σ´x is the
divergence in the beam.
For ζ ≤ 10-2 the following approximation is valid C( ζ) ≅ -ln(1,732 ζ)-1.5. The bunch volume
V is 8 π3/2σxσyσL. Typical Touschek life times for a 1 A beam are summarized in Table I. Page 6 of 32 The strong dependence of the Touschek effect on the energy indicates that the preferred
storage rings are operating at higher energies: 0.3 GeV and higher.
The spectral power ∆P of the emitted synchrotron radiation in Watts per eV, per mrad

Figs. 2 and 3 show the results of equation (4). The assumed current is 1 A in all cases.
In conclusion it can be said that for ca. 100 eV photons the spectral density has a maximum at fields near 1.5 to 2 T. It follows from fig. 3 that the spectral power increases the higher the energy is. The optimum values can be reached with room temperature magnets (1.5 T) and high energies (in other words with fairly large machines). Page 7 of 32 The maximum angle over which photons can be collected is 6.28 rad (the full circumference
of the storage ring). The maximum in-band power as a function of energy and field strength is shown in fig. 4 for a stored beam of 1A. Fig. 5 shows 2 D cuts of figure 4. From these curves it is obvious that the 50 W requirement with a stored beam of 1 A can only be met at energies significantly above 1 GeV. The maximum collectible power at an energy of 0.6 GeV is 27 W. This in-band power has to be compared with the total radiated power:

which is for 0.6 GeV and 1.5 T (r = 1.336 m) ca. 8.6 kW. The power ratio (defined as in-band power P/total power P
T) is
)(. 01239.02yGPP
T= (6)
The power ratio is shown in fig. 6. The maximum values are obtained at low fields. This
argument confirms that high beam energy and low magnetic fields are the optimum parameters. A storage ring of 0.6 GeV and a field of 1.5 T might be a fair compromise to obtain a total in-band power of more than 25 W. It is obvious all the formulas mentioned in the previous chapter valid for bending magnets are also valid for wigglers. The wiggler has two advantages over a bending magnet. Firstly, the photons are emitted into a cone centred around the direction of motion of the beam. The
collection of photons is easier with a wiggler than with a bending magnet. Secondly, since
there is no net deflection, it is easier to choose the optimum field. Wigglers with a small maximum beam deflection angle
α are called undulators. The K-value
is defined in the following way: Page 8 of 32

A measured spectrum of the first harmonics of an undulator depending on the angle is shown
in fig. 7. In fig. 7 angle and photon energy are clearly related (depending on the emittance of the beam). This is described by (8) [28]. The undulator condition (8) has to be fulfilled for 13.5 nm. This condition limits the number of possible solutions for the period length. In addition, a general rule states that the period length should not be shorter than 4 times the gap width of the undulator. If this rule is not observed, than the field acting on the beam becomes too small [14]. The formula used in Table I for the total power radiated from an undulator is

Nu is the number of periods. The calculated in-band power for an undulator is shown (as an
example) in fig. 8. The parameters of different undulators are summarized in Table II. The first harmonics of all undulators is close to 13.5 nm.
Despite the fact that the maximum obtainable power does not fulfil the stringent requirement
the undulator has clear advantages over wigglers. The K-values in Table I are in the order of 1 to 2. According to formula (7) the magnetic fields of the undulator are larger than 1 T. These values are larger than those achieved with
conventional permanent magnet undulators. In Brookhaven [15
] and Karlsruhe [16]
independent concepts for using superconductors rather than arrays of permanent magnets have Page 9 of 32 been under discussion. Recently Karlsruhe together with a group at Mainz [20] have been able
to demonstrate the viability of such a concept under normal beam conditions. Fig. 7 shows the measured spectrum from these experiments. Fig. 9 shows the principle of a superconductive undulator. The field is generated by a superconductive wire in an iron matrix (darker parts in fig. 9). The superconductive wires are close to the beam. The undulator is indirectly cooled by liquid helium not shown in figure 9. The parameters for this specific undulator are: period length 14 mm and K=2 (1.5 T) [30]. The calculated undulator field is shown in fig. 10.
3. The Free Electron Laser approach
It has been shown in the previous chapters that the specifications for the source defined in the
introduction, 50 W within a 2 % bandwidth at 13.5 nm, is barely achievable to obtain with a conventional synchrotron radiation source. In 1951 Motz was the first to point out that the intensity of a photon beam emitted by electrons can be increased by coherent superposition [18]. The logic is as follows. If each electron emits a photon the resulting electric field E
total is:
/Ga6=
nn total E E (10)
En is the electric field of the individual photons. The intensity is proportional to E2
total. . When
the phases of the photons have a random distribution (incoherent light) the cross terms cancel and the averaged sum is
I =
2. . EN E E
jj
ii =/Ga6/Ga6 (11)
where N is the number of electrons. Page 10 of 32 When the phases of the electrons are identically and they are not randomly distributed the
cross-terms do not disappear and the intensity is N2 times the intensity of a single electron.
This is obviously the case when the electrons are concentrated in bunches. The length of these bunches (so-called micro-bunches) must be smaller than the wavelength. The micro-bunches are separated by a multiple of a wavelength. If this argument is turned around, then most of the intensity of a conventional synchrotron radiation source is destroyed by incoherence or, if expressed in other terms, by the random distances of the emitting electrons. When the electrons have distances which are smaller than the emitted light wave the intensity can be increased by an enormous factor (N is a very big number). Since 1951 this principle has been experimentally investigated with great success by various groups and this has changed dramatically the design of synchrotron light sources [19], [20] and beam diagnostics tools [21]. In order to operate a FEL effectively the following conditions on the emittance have to be fulfilled [29]. a.) Particles with an angle to the beam axis do not fulfil the resonance condition (8). The
electron velocity in the direction of the axis is changed by –x´
2/2 ( x´ is the angle relative
to the axis). In order to keep the electron within a half-wave over the whole undulator
length, the condition

πλε4Phot≤ (14)
Equation (14) requires that the horizontal and vertical emittance of the beam has to be smaller
than 1.07 nm. In a linac the emittance shrinks with energy (adiabatic damping)
ε = εn / γ (15)
where εn is the so-called normalized emittance. The magnitude of the normalized emittance
depends on the gun. For a photo-cathode gun εn is close to 10-6 m.rad (depending on current,
bunch length etc.) [23]. Following equation (15) γ has to be 1000 or higher (linac energy
equal or above 500 MeV). Assuming a gradient of 20 MeV/m, the linac is 27.5 m (or close to
30 m) long. For 0.52 GeV and K = 1.4 the period length of the undulator is 1.43 cm according to equation (8). The peak field is circa 1.05 T according to equation (7). Linacs with more than 40 MeV/m are available, so that the minimum length of the linac is about 15 m.
The SASE FEL [32] is generally described by analytical methods. The fundamental parameter
in this description is the gain length L
G, the length in which the FEL power increases by a
factor of e. The gain length depends on the power density of the emitted light. The power density is a function of the undulator properties (K-value, period length), the beam properties
(peak current, energy,
β-functions, emittance, energy spread etc.) and the properties of the
optical beam (diffraction). In order to separate the different influences the following
parameters are introduced: Page 12 of 32 L G =

The Pierce parameter describes the emission of synchrotron radiation. I A is 17 kA (Alven
current) and the rest of the parameters are explained in previous equations. χ and S are
correction parameters describing the influence of the diffraction and the energy spread.

and produce the curve shown in fig. 11 [24]. The curve has a minimum close to a beta of 0.3 m with a slight slope towards higher beta-functions. A beta function of 2 m throughout the whole undulator is an acceptable compromise. The undulator shown in fig. 9 has to be modified in such a way that it focuses in both directions. The focusing in both directions in an undulator with permanent magnets was demonstrated at DESY for the first time [35]. A similar effect can be achieved for the superconductive undulator either by shaping the iron poles in an appropriate way. A study on SASE and superconductive undulators can be found in [26]. Up to now the influence of the energy spread was not taken into account. The energy spread leads to a broadening of the laser line and finally to a loss of gain. The influence of the energy
spread is described by the function
χ in a complex way. χ is determined by three parameters:

All 3 parameters depend on β and on the energy spread σε. The parameters have to fulfil an
integral equation and a solution is only possible by numerical techniques. The function )(βχ

χ depends somewhat on β but strongly on the energy spread.
The FEL process starts from the radiation emitted in the first gain length of the undulator. The
number N of undulator periods in the first gain length (equation (16)) is

The dependence of the peak power on the undulator length is shown for two cases (energy
spread of 10-4 and an energy spread of 5.10-4) in figs. 12 and 13. The peak current I peak is 200
A. Obviously, the final peak power is the same in both cases. The energy spread only defines the length of the undulator [27]. The peak power of one pulse is ca. 1.33. 10
8 W. One pulse with an assumed bunch length of
3 psec produces an energy of π2.3.10-12 1.33 108 J or about 1 mJ. In order to produce a cw
power of 50 W, a pulse repetition rate of 50 kHz is required.
The required average current is fairly modest. Working on the basis of a 1.5 GHz linac RF system (bucket repetition of time of 0.67 nsec) the average current is
200(3/667)(5.10
4/1,5.109) A = 30 µA.
Page 15 of 32 4. Possible Layout of the FEL source
A possible layout of the EUV laser system for a wafer fab is shown in fig. 14. It is assumed
that the EUV source (linac, undulator etc.) will be located in the basement of the factory. The EUV radiation enters the clean room via evacuated pipes which come up through the floor. The normalized emittance of the beam (assumed to be10
-6) determines the energy of the
linac: 500 MeV. The accelerating structures can be either superconductive (Nb-cavities) or normal conducting (Cu-cavities). Normal conductive cavities allow simple and short structures: energy gains of up 40 MeV/m and higher are possible. The length of the linac would be less than 15 m.
The accelerating gradient for superconductive linacs is at the moment
≥20 MeV/m and, as a
result, a superconducting linac will be almost twice as long as a room temperature linac.
The accelerated beam is directly sent to a 11m long SASE undulator. All bends along the trajectory have to be isochronous in order to prevent bunch lengthening. The installation of most of the equipment in auxiliary and/or distant rooms, such as the basement is an integral part of the following layout considerations. Fig. 14 shows one possible way of distributing the EUV light. A central linac provides a distributed undulator system
with an electron beam. The beam is switched by magnets to the undulators. The fact that
several SASE superconducting undulators are fed from one linac reduces the capital cost per stepper.
Conclusion
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research initiated a program on plasmas
generated by lasers or gas discharges as sources of EUV light (50 W at 13.5 nm, bandwidth
2%) for the next generation lithography (NGL). In the initial phase of this project it was felt Page 16 of 32 that sources based on synchrotron radiation should be reconsidered. The aim of this report is
to investigate such sources.
The report starts with investigations into the emitted power of small storage rings with
energies of less than 0.6 GeV. The total emitted power collected over the entire
circumference is less than 50 W (stored current of 1 A).
In a next step storage rings were equipped with wigglers. It is easier to collect the wiggler
radiation but the conclusions are similar: the total emitted power is insufficient.
In the following step storage rings with undulators have been studied. Under certain
circumstances these devices have clear advantages over the wiggler system. In undulators the
emitted photons can interfere coherently. This fact makes it possible to amplify the intensity
within the required bandwidth and minimize it outside. In order to optimise the output power,
superconducting mini-undulators are required.
Free Electron Lasers (FELs) consisting of linacs and undulators produce light with a high
degree of coherence and of high power. Unwanted out-of-band-radiation is almost completely
eliminated. The study shows that the so-called SASE technique (Self Amplified Stimulated
Emission) can easily produce the required EUV power. The SASE effect was already
observed experimentally at wavelengths as low as 80 nm.
As a result, synchrotron radiation (mainly FELs) can easily fulfil the stringent requirements
for the Next Generation of Lithography based on EUV when suficet space is forseen in a
wafer fab. Page 17 of 32

Abstract
In this work we describe some recent results concerning the application of Resistive Plate
Chambers operated in avalanche mode at atmospheric pressure for high-resolution time-of-
flight measurements.
A combination of multiple, mechanically accurate, thin gas gaps and state-of-the-art
electronics yielded an overall (detector plus electronics) timing accuracy better than 50 ps σ
with a detection efficiency up to 99% for MIPs. Single gap chambers were also tested in order
to clarify experimentally several aspects of the mode of operation of these detectors.
These results open perspectives of affordable and reliable high granularity large area TOF
detectors, with an efficiency and time resolution comparable to the existing scintillator-based
TOF technology but with a significantly, up to an order of magnitude, lower price per channel.

Heavy-ion collision physics at very high energies is emerging in many accelerator centres
around the world (RHIC at BNL, SIS at GSI, and LHC-HI at CERN), emphasising the need
for large area particle identification systems able to cope with high particle multiplicities. Time
of Flight (TOF) sub-detectors, in particular, are foreseen for many such experiments (STAR,
FOPI, ALICE), stimulating R&D on new, more cost effective, approaches to the timing of
MIPs.
In this paper we describe some recent work done in the framework of the ALICE
experiment on the development of Resistive Plate Chambers ( RPCs) for TOF measurements
(timing RPCs). The work included beam tests of single chambers and of a multichannel TOF
prototype equipped with such chambers.
Some studies aimed to clarify experimentally the origin of the very good detection efficiency
(99%) observed for MIPs in our timing RPCs will be also described.
2. - Experimental setup
Details on the mechanical construction, electronics, experimental setup and data analysis for
the timing RPCs were already given elsewhere [1] and we will describe here only the few
modifications introduced for the single cell tests.
Timing RPCs were made with glass [2] and aluminium electrodes forming a pair of
double-gap chambers. The four gas gaps of 0.3 mm were accurately defined by glass
optical-fiber spacers. The single gap RPCs were built essentially along the same lines, being a
schematic drawing shown in Figure 1.
The signals were sensed by a custom made pre -amplifier [1], whose output was split in
3 identical channels via analogue buffers. One of the outputs was directly fed to a LeCroy
2249W ADC that measured a charge proportional to the total signal charge. Another output
had the ion signal component (1 to 3 µs long) cancelled by forming the difference between the
signal and it´s image delayed by 16 ns. A LeCroy 2249A ADC integrated the resulting short
pulse, measuring a charge proportional only to the electron (fast) component of the signal. The
third output was further amplified by a factor 10 and fed to a custom-made fixed threshold
discriminator (typically set at a level equivalent to a total signal charge of 0.2 pC), followed by
a LeCroy 2229 TDC with a 50 ps bin width.
The total charge was calibrated by injecting to the test input of the pre-amplifier a current
pulse of an intensity and width similar to the ion current pulse from the chambers.
3. – Results
3.1 – Timing RPCs
Timing RPCs in a single channel configuration have shown timing resolutions below 50 ps σ
with an efficiency of 99% for MIPs [1]. A typical signal charge distribution is shown in
Figure 2.
A 32-channel prototype equipped with similar chambers and suitable multichannel
electronics has shown an average time resolution of 88 ps σ with a spread of 9 ps and an
average efficiency of 98 % with a spread of 0.5 % [3]. The crosstalk between neighbouring
channels generally did not exceed 1%.33.2 - Single gap chambers
In Figure 3 we show the signal charge distributions measured at different applied voltages in
single gas gaps of 0.1 and 0.3 mm filled with methane, isobutane or a “standard RPC mixture”
containing C 2H2F4+10%SF 6+5%isobutane, also used for the timing RPCs.
In pure isobutane and in the “standard mixture”, for both gap sizes, the distributions show
an extended flat region for the larger applied voltages. This is quite surprising because it can be
shown theoretically1 that the event by event variations in the position of the leading cluster
(closer to the cathode) causes strong fluctuations in the final avalanche size, resulting in a
charge distribution almost proportional to 1/Q (being Q the signal charge). The observed
distribution is much more favourable for an efficient particle detection than the expected “1/Q”
distribution, allowing for the excellent detection efficiency measured in chambers with four
gaps (see also Figure 2).
In methane only a modest gas gain could be reached due to the onset of discharges,
presumably caused by photon feedback. Indeed, while for the other gases all results were
essentially independent of the cathode material (aluminium or glass), in methane larger gains
could be reached with the glass cathode, presumably due to the smaller quantum efficiency of
glass.
Even for a single 0.1 mm gas g ap the detection efficiency was still around 45 % (isobutane).
From the corresponding inefficiency figure and the gap length it can be calculated that the
mean number of primary clusters per unit length must be at least 6 mm-1 (at least one cluster
must be produced for a particle to be detected). However, due to the exponential dependence
of the final avalanche size on the cluster position, only a small region of the gas gap (closer to
the cathode) will be sensitive to the ionising particles. Therefore, to explain the observed
efficiency, the ionisation density must be a few times larger than the figure calculated above,
being quite doubtful whether this is physically possible [4]. In fact there is some indication that
a process other than gas ionisation may be also contributing to the observed detection
efficiency (Figure 4).
Some further information can be obtained by plotting the average signal charge as a
function of the applied field (Figure 5). There is a strongly sub -exponential growth of the
average charge with the applied field, indicating the presence of a gas gain saturation effect.
Although similar effects have been observed in parallel geometry counters at low pressures
[5] and wire counters, being generally attributed to space -charge effects, su ch strong saturation
has never been, to the author’s knowledge, observed at atmospheric pressure in
proportional -mode parallel geometry counters. This may be related to the fact that our
detectors work in an E/p range (around 100 V/cm Torr) similar to those typically found in
low-pressure parallel -plate counters or at the surface of wires in cylindrical counters and
MWPCs.
Further evidence of a strong space charge effect is presented in Figure 6, were correlation
plots between the fast (electron) signal charge and the total signal charge were drawn for the
same experimental conditions studied above. Standard detector theory [5] shows that the ratio
between these quantities should be independent of the avalanche size and equal to (av)-1,
where a is the First Townsend Coefficient and v is the electron drift velocity. This situation is
observed for the case of a 0 .1 mm gap filled with methane. For all other cases the upward
1 See for instance the Appendix in ref. [6].4curving correlation is compatible with a space charge effect that would reduce the effective
value of a for the larger avalanches [5].
4. – Conclusions
Timing RPCs made with glass and metal electrodes, forming four of accurately spaced gas
gaps of 0.3 mm, have reached time resolutions below 50 ps σ with a detection efficiency of
99% for MIPs [1].
A 32-channel prototype equipped with such chambers has shown an average resolution of
88 ps σ with a spread of 9 ps and an average efficiency of 98 % with a spread of 0.5 %. The
crosstalk between neighbouring channels generally did not exceed 1% [3].
It was found that in single gas gaps the signal charge distribution departs strongly from the
theoretically expected shape and that the gas amplification process seems to be strongly
influenced by a space charge effect. This effect may be related to the unexpected charge
distribution observed.
The relatively large detection efficiencies observed in single gas gaps (up to 45% for 0.1
mm gaps and up to 75% for 0.3 mm gaps) seem to be incompatible with a primary detection
process based uniquely in the ionisation of the gas by the incoming particles.
These conclusions seem to be quite independent on the nature of the filling gas, applying
both to the operation in pure isobutane and in a strongly electronegative mixture containing
Freon and SF 6.

ABSTRACT
The question: " How many different trajectories are there on a single
invariant torus within the phase space of an integrable Hamiltonian
system ?" is posed. A rigorous answer to the question is found both for the
rational and the irrational tori. The relevant notion of non-measurable
sets is discussed.
I. INTRODUCTION
Irrational invariant tori play a crucial role in physics of Hamiltonian systems. In contrast to the
rational tori, they prove to be to some extent resistant to the destructive action of the
non-integrable perturbations and, as the KAM theorem establishes it, the measure of the set of
those tori which remain intact, though obviously distorted, is non-zero at low levels of the
perturbation.1
It is the aim of this paper to indicate a peculiar property of irrational tori: non-measurability of
sets of points which initiate on them all possible (and different) trajectories. To make the
considerations which follow as clear as possible, we fix our attention on the simplest nontrivialcase - a Hamiltonian system with but two degrees of freedom q
1 and q2 whose trajectories are
located within a four-dimensional phase space Γ. (Generalisation for more degrees of freedom istrivial.) We assume that the system is integrable, i.e. there exist two integrals of motion I1 and I2
which allow one to describe any motion of the system as two independent rotations on a two-
dimensional torus; see Figure1.
t t1 1 1 +(0)=)( ω ϕ ϕ (1)
t t2 2 2 +(0) =)( ω ϕ ϕ (2)
In the most general case, the two frequencies are different on each of the tori into which the
whole phase space of the system is partitioned. There are two basic types of the tori: those for
which the ratio ω1/ω2 is rational and those for which the ratio is irrational.
Let us ask a question: How many different trajectories are there on a single: (i) rational and (ii)
irrational torus ?
To observe trajectories which move on the torus T in a more convenient manner, we cut it with
a Poincaré section S. In this plane a single trajectory is seen as a sequence of points which mark all
its consecutive (past and future) passages through S. All the points are located, of course, on the
circle C = T ∩ S. A single point from such a sequence determines the whole (and single)
trajectory. There are many different (disjoint) trajectories moving on the torus. Each of them
defines on C a sequence of points. Choosing single points from all such sequences allows one to
construct the required set of points which initiate on the torus different trajectories. Let us denote
the set by M0. Thus, the question we posed above can be reduced to the following one: How big is
the set M0?.
Fig. 1 Invariant torus and a Poincare section of it. A trajectory starting form point P0
pierces plane S in consecutive points P1, P2, P3 … . See text.By "how big" we mean here two things :
1. Is the set M0 countable ?
2. Which is its measure µ(M0) ?
Below we shall answer the questions, first, for the case of rational tori, then, for the case of the
irrational ones.
II. µµµµ(M0) ON RATIONAL TORI.
Let Tr be a rational torus, i.e. a torus for which ω1/ω2 = r = m/n, where m and n are integers.
Any trajectory on Tr marks in S as a cycle of n points { Pk}, k=0, 1, …, n-1, whose angular
coordinates ϕk are given by
1mod2 20krk+πϕ=πϕ(4)
As easy to note, all trajectories which start from those points on C whose ϕ coordinates are
located within any interval [ ϕ0, ϕ0+2π/n), where ϕ0 is arbitrary, are different and, as such a choice
is made, there are no other different trajectories.
Consequently, the set
)}2[0,)(: {=0nP CTP Mπ∈ϕ∩∈ (5)
can be seen as the simplest realisation of the set of points which initiate on T all possible different
trajectories.
Obviously, in this case, the set is uncountable and its measure :
nCM)(=)(0µµ (6)
Any other choice of M0 provides the same answer.III. µµµµ(M0) FOR IRRATIONAL TORI.
Let ω1/ω2 = ρ be an irrational number. Now, any trajectory on Tρ is seen within the Poincar é
section S as an infinite, never repeating itself sequence of points { Pk}, k= -∞ …, -1, 0, 1, 2, … +∞,
whose angular coordinates are given by
1) (mod+2=20 kρπϕ
πϕk (7)
The countable set { Pk} covers C in a dense manner but is different from it: C\{Pk}≠∅. Thus,
there are on C some points which initiate other trajectories. How to find all of them i.e. define set
M0 ? To reach the aim we shall proceed in three steps.
Step 1 . We define within the [0,1) interval a countable, everywhere dense set
} :1modρ{ Nk k E ∈ = (8)
Step 2 . We define in C a relation ℜ:
PℜQ if and only if there exists in E an x such that:
xQP=π−
2(9)
In plain words the physical meaning of ℜ can be expressed as follows :
P and Q stay in relation ℜ when they belong to the same trajectory.
One can prove that ℜ is an equivalence relation, thus, ℜ divides C into a family of equivalence
classes C/ℜ. In view of the physical meaning of ℜ the classes are simply Poincar é section images
of trajectories which move on the torus T. Since the classes are disjoint, the trajectories they
represent are all different. Since the classes cover all C - there are no other trajectories.
Step 3. From each class from the family C/ℜ we take one point and put it into a set M0.
Obviously, the set M0 can be seen as the set of points which initiate on T different and all possible
trajectories. Let us have a closer look at it.First of all, we may check what happens when trajectories initiated by all points from M0 pass
through the Poincar é section S. Let sets Mk , k=-∞, …, -1, 0, 1, …, +∞, be the images of M0 which
appear in C as the trajectories make consecutive turns on T. All the sets are disjoint:
ji M Mj k ≠∅=, (10)
and their union covers whole C:
C M
kk= . (11)
Since C is uncountable (continuum) and the family of sets { Mk} is only countable, the
equipollent sets Mk cannot be countable. In particular, M0 is uncountable. This answers the first
part of the question.
Now, let us consider its second part. Since each Mk can be obtained from M0 by a rotation of
the latter along C by an angle 2 π[kρ (mod 1)], all of the sets are mutually congruent. Thus, if the
measure of the set M0 is µ(M0), the measure µ(Mk) of each Mk must be the same:
)( )(j i M M µ= µ for all i, j (12)
On the other hand, in view of Eq.11 , we have
)( ) ( C Mk
kµ= µ∑ =1. (13)
How much is µ(M0) ? It cannot be zero, since in that case Eq.13 would give µ(C)=0, which is
not true. On the other hand, it cannot be finite either, since in that case we would obtain from
Eq.13 µ(C)=∞ . Thus: How much is it ? We cannot say. A number which would describe the value
of µ(M0) does not exist : the set M0 is non-measurable .
IV. DISCUSSION
The reasoning we described in Section III can be seen as a direct translation of the Vitali
construction of a non-measurable set 2,3 onto the language of the Hamiltonian mechanics. As a
careful reader may have noted, step 3 of the construction we presented makes use of the Axiom ofChoice (AC) , the most controversial and at the same time, the most thoroughly studied pillar from
the few ones on which the theory of sets can be built4. We write "can", since, being both relatively
consisten t5 with other axioms of the set theory and independent6 of them, the axiom can be used or
not. Taking the former attitude, i.e. deciding to use the Axiom, one is able not only to prove a few
most useful theorems (impossible to prove without the axiom), such as that the union of countably
many countable sets is countable or that every infinite set has a denumerable subset , but, and this
is most disturbing, a number of theorems which seem to stay in contradiction with what our
common sense tells. The most famous from such theorems, proven by Banach and Tarski7, says
that it is possible to dismount a sphere into a few (at least five) such subsets, from which, using but
translations and rotations i.e. transformations which certainly preserve measure, one can mount
two spheres identical with the initial one . Obviously, the Banach-Tarski theorem stays in conflict
with our common sense. But was it not like that already once with the theorems of the non-Euclidean geometry? The problem is not, we emphasise it, if the Banach-Tarski theorem is true or
not; its proof is clean and completely legitimate within a certain mathematical environment. One
should rather ask if we need this branch of mathematics to describe things which happen in the
world and which we study in physics laboratories . (Non-Euclidean geometry has proven its
usefulness in the description of our world at scales somewhat larger from that at which our
common sense is formed.) Do we know phenomena whose description would necessarily require
the use of the axiom of choice? There have been so far but a few attempts of applying the axiom
of choice based mathematics to describe physical reality. The first one was the Pitowsky ’s work
on a possible resolution of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox via the Banach-Tarski one
8,9.
The work by Pitowsky indicated the possibility that physical paradoxes encountered in quantum
mechanics can be reduced to mathematical pathologies8. The aim of the present note is somewhat
different. It shows that such a mathematical pathology (non-measurability) appears in the formal
analysis of a very simple problem of classical mechanics and cannot be avoided there; one cannot
answer the question concerning the number of trajectories on irrational tori without using the
axiom of choice. Consequently, if one decides to answer the question one must necessarily get in
touch with the paradoxical concept of sets without measure.
A similar problem and a similar way of solving it is described in [10], where Svozil and
Neufeld analyse the concept of linear chaos. A general, very vivid exposition of the problem of
applicability of the set theory in the description of the physical world can be found in [11]. As
Svozil argues there, the prohibition on the use of paradoxical results of the set theory cannot be
accepted. Such a “No-Go ” attitude, as he calls it, has no justification. According to Svozil, the No-Go attitude should be rejected in favour of the “Go-Go ” attitude, according to which results of any
consistent mathematical theory may be used in the description of the physical world. From the
Svozil ’s point of view, the present authors took a full advantage of the Go-Go attitude: using the
based on the Axiom of Choice notion of non-measurable set they answered a concrete, sensible
question formulated within the frames of classical mechanics. An extensive study of the links
between physics and set theory was presented also by Augenstein [12], who among other
examples draws our attention to the use by El Naschie of the paradoxical decomposition technique
in the analysis of the Cantorian micro space-time [13].
Concluding the present work, we admit that defining the set of points which on an irrational
invariant torus initiate different trajectories we did use the Axiom of Choice. From the formal
point of view the definition must be seen as a nonconstructive one. In Svozil ’s wording: throwing
out the nonconstructive bath water we would throw with it the nonmeasurable baby [10]. We thinkit would be not right.

We calculate the light-induced collisional loss of laser-c ooled and trapped magnesium atoms for
detunings up to 50 atomic linewidths to the red of the1S0-1P1cooling transition. We evaluate loss
rate coefficients due to both radiative and nonradiative stat e-changing mechanisms for temperatures
at and below the Doppler cooling temperature. We solve the Sc hr¨ odinger equation with a complex
potential to represent spontaneous decay, but also give ana lytic models for various limits. Vibrational
structure due to molecular photoassociation is present in t he trap loss spectrum. Relatively broad
structure due to absorption to the Mg 21Σustate occurs for detunings larger than about 10 atomic
linewidths. Much sharper structure, especially evident at low temperature, occurs even at smaller
detunings due to of Mg 21Πgabsorption, which is weakly allowed due to relativistic ret ardation
corrections to the forbidden dipole transition strength. W e also perform model studies for the other
alkaline earth species Ca, Sr, and Ba and for Yb, and find simil ar qualitative behavior as for Mg.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms has re-
cently opened many new research areas in atomic physics.
One can cool a gas of neutral atoms in magneto-optical
traps (MOT) down to temperatures of 1 mK and be-
low, and obtain densities up to 1012atoms/cm3. Evap-
orative cooling methods have allowed the cooling of al-
kali species to much lower temperatures below 1 µK so
that Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) occurs. Binary
atomic collisions play an important role in the physics
of cold trapped atomic gases, and have been widely in-
vestigated [1]. One of the first cold collisional process
to be studied is the heating and loss of trapped atoms
which result from tuning laser light to near-resonance
with the atomic cooling transition [2]. Here we take near-
resonance, or small-detuning, to mean detuning ∆ up to
50 natural linewidths to the red of atomic resonance.
Studies of small-detuning trap loss, extensively re-
viewed by Weiner et al. [1], have mainly concentrated on
alkali atoms [3], for which it has been very difficult to de-
velop quantitative theoretical models to compare with ex-
periment. This is because alkali atoms have extensive hy-
perfine structure, and thus the number of collision chan-
nels is simply too large for accurate theoretical modeling.
It has even been difficult to estimate the relative weight
of the different possible loss processes. Although one
can develop simplified models, these are difficult to testadequately with complex alkali systems. On the other
hand, trap loss photoassociation spectra in alkali systems
for large detuning can be modeled quite accurately [4–6].
This is because the underlying molecular physics of alkali
dimer molecules is well-known, and the spectra are deter-
mined by isolated molecular vibrational-rotational level s,
for which the photoassociation line shapes can be well-
characterized even in the presence of hyperfine structure.
Quantitative analysis of such spectra have permitted the
determination of scattering lengths for ground state colli -
sions [1]. These scattering lengths are critical parameter s
for BEC studies.
Alkaline earth cooling and trapping have recently been
of considerable experimental interest. Trap loss collisio ns
have been studied in a Sr MOT [7], and intercombination
line cooling of Sr has resulted in temperatures below 1 µK
and raised the prospects of BEC of Sr [8–11]. Ca is of
interest for possible applications as an optical frequency
standard [12–16], and photoassociation spectroscopy in a
Ca MOT has been reported [17]. Intercombination line
cooling has also been reported for Yb [18,19], which we
have included in our discussion because of its similarity
in structure to alkaline earth atoms.
Alkaline earth species provide an excellent testing
ground for cold collision theories, especially given the
rapidly developing experimental interest in the subject.
Since the main isotopes of alkaline earth atoms have no
hyperfine structure, the number of collision channels be-
comes low enough to allow theoretical calculations even
in the small detuning trap loss regime. Consequently,
1this paper presents theoretical predictions for small de-
tuning trap loss spectra in cold and trapped Mg gas in the
presence of near-resonant weak laser light tuned near the
1S0→1P1atomic transition, and discusses the nature
of similar processes for Ca, Sr, Ba, and Yb. This work
extends our previous note on Mg trap loss [20] to other
species and lower temperatures, and shows the relation
between small detuning trap loss and photoassociation
theory. It is necessary to include spontaneous emission
in modeling trap loss collision dynamics because of the
long time scale of cold collisions. In addition, relativis-
tic retardation effects play a prominent role at small de-
tunings by allowing transitions to the dipole forbidden
1Πgstate, which exhibits resolved vibrational structure,
especially at very low temperature. Although we treat
the long-range molecular interactions accurately, the po-
tential energy curves and coupling matrix elements for
the dimer molecules in the short-range region of chemical
bonding are not sufficiently well-known to determine all
aspects of trap loss. Therefore, we examine the uncer-
tainties associated with the unknown phases developed
in the short-range region of chemical bonding, and show
which features are robust with respect to such uncertain-
ties and which must be measured or later determined
from improved theory.
B. Trap loss collisions
Light-induced trap loss takes place as a molecular pro-
cess. Two colliding cold atoms form a quasimolecule,
and their motion can be described in terms of the elec-
tronic (Born-Oppenheimer) potentials of the molecular
dimer with light-induced transitions between the molec-
ular states. We consider only red detuning, which excites
attractive potentials at long range. Such potentials sup-
port a number of bound vibrational states.
Figure 1 schematically indicates the nature of the trap
loss process in a weak radiation field. An excitation laser
with energy hνis tuned a few atomic linewidths below
the atomic transition energy hν0. The ground |g/an}bracketri}htand
excited |e/an}bracketri}htquasimolecular electronic states are thus cou-
pled resonantly by the laser at some long-range Condon
radius RC, where the photon energy matches the differ-
ence between the excited and ground potential energy
curves. The excited state decays to a loss channel |p/an}bracketri}ht
due to interactions at short range. The fully quantum
mechanical description in Ref. [21] shows that the overall
probability Ppgof a trap loss collision can be factored as
follows:
Ppg=PpeJeg. (1)
Here Jegrepresents an excitation-transfer probability
which is proportional to the scattering flux that reaches
the short range region near Rpdue to long-range exci-
tation near the Condon point followed by propagationon the excited state to the short-range region. Pperep-
resents the probability of a transition from the excited
state to the loss channel at short range during a single
cycle of oscillation through the short-range region.
Figure 1 indicates the qualitative behavior of the trans-
fer function Jegversus detuning ∆. At very small detun-
ing of a few atomic linewidths Jegbecomes very small if
there is a high probability of spontaneous emission dur-
ing transit from the outer to inner regions. At sufficiently
large detuning Jegexhibits resonance structure due to
the bound vibrational levels in the excited state poten-
tial, where the vibrational period is much shorter than
the decay time [22]. This is the domain of photoassocia-
tion to individual vibrational levels. Section III C below
will show simple analytic formulas for Jegthat apply in
these two limiting cases of small detuning with fast decay
or isolated photoassociation lines. These formulas show
howJegcan in turn be factored as
Jeg=JeePeg, (2)
where Pegrepresents the probability of excitation from
the ground to excited state in the outer zone near the
Condon point, and Jeerepresents an excited state trans-
fer function between the long-range outer excitation zone
and the short-range zone. The factorization in Eq. (2) is
also schematically indicated in Fig. 1.

Each of the factors in Eqs. (1) and (2) can be af-
fected by unknown phases associated with the short-
range molecular physics of the dimer molecules. (1) Peg
is sensitive to the asymptotic phase of the ground state
wave function. (2) Vibrational resonance structure in
Jegis sensitive to the position and widths of vibrational
features. (3) Ppeis sensitive to St¨ uckelberg oscillations
in short-range curve crossing probabilities. These effects
are discussed in detail in Secs. II D and II E. The overall
effect of such sensitivities will depend on the temperature
and the alkaline earth species.
There are two possible inner zone loss processes char-
acterized by Ppe: the state change (SC) and radiative es-
cape (RE) mechanisms, both represented schematically
by the loss channel pin Fig. 1. In the SC process the
2excited state couples to another molecular state near
a short-range crossing point Rp, and population trans-
fer between them is possible. The products of the col-
lision emerge on a state that correlates asymptotically
with other atomic states of lower energy, such as3P+1S,
thereby releasing a large amount of kinetic energy to the
separating atoms. In RE the excited state can decay by
spontaneous emission after the atoms have been acceler-
ated towards each other on the excited state potential.
The ground state atoms then separate with this gain in
kinetic energy. If enough kinetic energy has been gained
to exceed the trap depth, this is a loss process (early de-
cay after insufficient acceleration only leads to radiative
heating). Here Rprepresents the distance at which the
atoms have received sufficient acceleration to be lost from
the trap. Any emission with R < R pleads to trap loss.
In this paper we use the fully quantum complex po-
tential method of Ref. [21] and do not resort to semiclas-
sical methods (with one exception), although semiclas-
sical concepts are often useful for interpretation. Our
quantum methods are fully capable of describing the
s-wave limit and the quantum threshold properties of
the extremely low collision energies near or below the
critical temperature for BEC. We describe the sponta-
neous emission processes with a complex potential, and
solve the corresponding time-independent multichannel
Schr¨ odinger equation in the molecular electronic state
basis. This takes any vibrational state structure into ac-
count automatically without the need to calculate wave
functions or Franck-Condon factors, but limits our study
to weak laser fields only, where only a single photon is ex-
changed with the field. Typical cooling lasers are strong
and detuned only a few linewidths. By alternating with
a weaker probe laser one can access the particular range
of detuning and intensity that we study. Future studies
are needed to address the effects of strong laser fields and
the consequent revision of our results due to saturation
and power broadening [23,24].
We also include rotational states into our model, which
for the molecular ground state correspond to the partial
waves of a standard scattering problem (angular momen-
tum quantum number l). The symmetry of spinless al-
kaline earth dimers permits only even partial waves. It
should be pointed out that for near-resonant light the
Condon point is at relatively large distances. This means
that although the collision energy is low, one needs to go
to relatively large lbefore the ground state centrifugal
barrier stops the quasimolecule from reaching RC. We
correct here some mistakes that we discovered in the sum
over partial waves in Ref. [20].
The probe laser can be tuned over a wide range from
a few to many atomic linewidths. For sufficiently large
detuning the rotational structure becomes sharp, and it
should be possible to resolve the vibrational and rota-
tional states. However, even at 27 GHz detuning, rota-
tional features in the Ca 21Σg→1Σuphotoassociation
spectrum are only partially resolved [17]. Photoassocia-
tion studies can yield precise information on the molecu-lar potentials. Also, the photoassociation line shapes are
sensitive to the near-threshold ground state wave func-
tion, especially if it has nodes in the region swept by
the detuning-dependent Condon point. Analysis of such
data would hopefully give a value for the s-wave scat-
tering length for Mg or other alkaline earth species, and
consequently determine whether a stable Bose-Einstein
condensate is possible.
In this paper we present the calculated estimates for
trap loss rate coefficients in Mg at temperatures around
and below the Doppler temperature. The contributions
from different mechanisms and states are identified and
compared. We also calculate predictions for other al-
kaline earth atoms and Yb by combining the appropri-
ate atomic properties with model molecular potentials.
Sec. II presents in detail the atomic data, molecular po-
tentials, and laser couplings used for Mg and other alka-
line earth atoms. Sec. III describes our theoretical ap-
proach. The results for Mg are given in Sec. IV and for
the other atoms (Sr, Ca, Ba, Yb) in Sec. V. Finally we
present some conclusions in Sec. VI.
II. THE MOLECULAR PHYSICS OF ALKALINE
EARTH DIMER MOLECULES
A. Alkaline earth atomic structure
Table I gives the basic atomic data for the alkaline
earth atoms and Yb, which has an electronic structure
similar to the Group II elements. The major isotopes
have no hyperfine structure, except for Be. Alkaline-
earth atoms have a1S0ground state, and excited1P1
and3P1states that are optically connected to the ground
state, the latter weakly. Figure 2 sketches the energy lev-
els of the Group II atoms. The1,3P first excited states
are the most important for laser cooling. The1,3D states
shift downwards as the atomic number increases. For
Mg the1,3D states are above the1,3P states. For Ca
and Sr they are between the3P and the1P states, and
for Ba the1,3D states are below the1,3P states. In laser
cooling one uses typically the1S0-1P1transition, which
is the situation studied in this paper. For Mg this re-
quires a UV laser source, and for the heavier elements
requires repumping to recycle atoms that decay to lower
levels. The weak1S0-3P1intercombination transition has
a very narrow linewidth, and is within the optical range.
Thus alkaline earth atoms are good candidates for opti-
cal atomic clocks when cooled to low temperatures. For
clock applications we need to understand their laser cool-
ing properties, including the magnitude and nature of
laser-induced collisional trap loss.
Beryllium is not likely to be a serious candidate for
laser cooling. It is toxic, has a very short wavelength cool-
ing transition, and the intercombination “clock” transi-
tion is so weak as to be effectively forbidden. Therefore,
we will not consider Be in the rest of this paper.
3TABLE I. Atomic data for major isotopes of Group II elements a nd Yb without hyperfine structure (natural abundance
shown). Most data is derived from [25]. The lifetime τfor1P1is taken to be the inverse of the1P1-1S0spontaneous emission
rate Γ at/¯h, thus neglecting weak transitions to other states for Ba and Yb. The3P lifetimes are from several sources [26]. The
linewidth in frequency units is Γ at/h= (2πτ)−1. The wavelengths λand fine structure splittings for Sr and Ba are taken from
[27]. The Doppler temperature is defined as TD= Γ at/(2kB). We take the recoil temperature to be TR= (¯h2)/(mλ2kB), where
λ=λ/2πandmis the atomic mass. The dipole moment is d0=/radicalbig

length, and energy are ea0= 8.4783×10−30Cm,a0= 0.0529177 nm, and e2/(4πǫ0a0) = 4.3597482 ×10−18J respectively.

Because of the lack of hyperfine structure the ba-
sic laser cooling mechanism for alkaline earth atoms is
Doppler cooling, for which the temperature limit TD, de-
fined in the caption of Table I, is set by the linewidth
Γatof the cooling transition (widths in this paper are ex-
pressed in energy units, so that the decay rate is Γ at/¯h).
The lifetime of the alkaline earth1P1state is between
1.8 and 8.4 ns, giving a Doppler-cooling limit between
2.1 and 0.45 mK for the elements in Table I. On the
other hand the3P1state has a long lifetime with Doppler-
cooling limits in the nK range. This can be compared to
the photon recoil limit TR, defined in the Table caption;
Table I shows that TRis between 0.2 and 4 µK. Thus the
recoil limit is above the intercombination line Doppler
cooling limit for Mg and Ca, nearly coincident with it for
Sr, and below it for Ba and Yb.
Although Sisyphus cooling and magnetic trapping is
not available for1S0atoms as it is for alkali atoms, in-
tercombination line cooling is possible for some Group II
species. This has been used to cool Sr to ∼400 nK with
relatively high phase space density >0.1 [8,9]. If com-
bined with far off-resonant optical traps and evaporative
cooling it may become possible to obtain Bose-Einstein
condensation with optical methods alone.Be Mg Ca Sr Ba Yb1S01S01S01S01S01S03P1P

4B. Alkaline earth dimer molecular structure
Figure 3 shows the lowest electronic potentials for
Mg2[28]. There are only two states with attractive long-
range potentials correlating with1P1+1S0that can be
resonantly coupled to the ground state by laser light,
namely1Σ+
uand1Πg. Both states offer the possibil-
ity for the SC and RE mechanisms. When comparing
Figs. 2 and 3 one can see that Mg is special. For other
alkaline earth atoms the molecular state picture is fur-
ther complicated by the atomic D states below the1P1
state. This increases the number of molecular states and
thus the number of energetically available exit channels.
The small number of molecular states is one reason we
have chosen Mg as the basis for our studies. Theoretical
calculations require precise information about the molec-
ular potentials and couplings over a wide range of inter-
atomic distance. Ab initio calculations of ground and
excited molecular potentials are also available for Sr [29]
and Ba [30].
While working on the manuscript we received new ab
initio data on Mg 2from E. Czuchaj, including both im-
proved potential curves and spin-orbit couplings [31]. Al-
though the new data differ to some extent from the re-
sults of Stevens and Krauss [28] because of improved cal-
culations of electron correlation effects, we do not expect
that use of the new data would lead to any strong mod-
ification of our basic results, which should be viewed as
qualitative model calculations for the reasons to be dis-
cussed in the following sections.

FIG. 3. The molecular states of Mg 2in atomic units cor-
responding to the asymptotic atomic states1S0+1P1and
1S0+3P0,1,2[28]; the zero of energy is at the ground state
1S0+1S0asymptote. There are four states correlating with
each asymptote, of which two are attractive and two are re-
pulsive at large R, where the system is expected to be resonant
with the laser field.
The linewidth of the excited1Σustate depends on theinteratomic distance Rwith a magnitude on the order of
twice the atomic linewidth. Thus the vibrational levels of
the1Σustate near the1S+1P dissociation limit overlap
strongly, and one does not expect to resolve them. One
interesting point is that the dipole-forbidden1Πg−1Σg
transition becomes allowed at large Rdue to retardation
corrections. This means that the1Πgstate can be ex-
cited at RC, but the spontaneous emission probability
goes down quickly as Rdecreases. Consequently,1Πg
vibrational states near the dissociation limit have nar-
row emission linewidths. Thus the assumption that the
vibrational states overlap strongly and can not be re-
solved at detunings of a few linewidths is not necessarily
valid. One must determine if resolvable features persist
when one sums over all involved rotational states/partial
waves, and takes the energy average over a thermal dis-
tribution. We show that one can indeed see vibrational
structure, especially if the temperature is well below the
1S0-1P1Doppler limit. As mentioned above, this is by
no means impossible, if one does the cooling using the
1S0-3P1transition.
C. Long-range properties of states correlating with
1P1+1S0atoms

1P1+1S0atoms: two long-range attractive states,1Σ+

5The very long-range excited state potentials result
in large Condon points for excitation of the attractive
states. If the laser detuning relative to the atomic tran-
sition is expressed in units of Γ atand the distance in units
ofλ, the scaled Condon point ( uC) for the ground-excited
state transition becomes independent of atomic species.

fine red detuning to be positive. For Mg at ∆=Γ atwe

D. Ground state
The ground-state van der Waals potential varies at
long-range as R−6and is essentially flat for the range
of Condon points we consider. The energy-normalized

We define the collisional energy as ε= ¯h2k2
∞/(2µ). The
short-range potentials are not sufficiently well-known for
alkaline earth dimers to determine accurately the scatter-
ing phase shifts ηl(k∞). Therefore, our calculations will
have to be model calculations. However, we test the sen-
sitivity of our trap loss spectra to the unknown phases,and show that this is not a serious limitation. There are
two reasons for this. One is that the ground state poten-
tial is flat in the long-range region, and the amplitude of
Ψ(R, l, k ∞) has its asymptotic value in Eq. (7) indepen-
dent of Ras long as R > x 0=1
2(2µC6/¯h2)1/4[34,35];
the use of x0(or a closely related length) as an appropri-
ate length scale for van der Waals potentials is described
in the Appendix of Ref. [6]. The condition RC≫x0is
easily satisfied in our case. Second, at the Doppler limit
TDfor1S0→1P1cooling, a number of partial waves l
contribute to trap loss in our detuning range (1-50 Γ at).
We demonstrate in Sec. IVA that a sum over lremoves
the dependence on the short-range potential.
Our trap loss spectra for s-wave scattering at the low
temperatures available via intercombination line cooling
will be sensitive to the actual scattering length A0of the
ground1Σ+
gpotential. However, we demonstrate a sim-
ple scaling relationship that will allow our low T s-wave
results to be scaled to any value of the scattering length.
We may expect that the1Σ+
gscattering length can be
determined from one or two-color photoassociation spec-
tra, as has been done for alkali species [1]. However, such
analysis will require an accurate C6coefficient and for
optimum results needs a reasonably accurate short-range
potential as well.
E. Excited state short-range potentials
Trap loss spectra depend strongly on the excited state
short-range potential structure in three ways:
(1) The curve crossings leading to SC trap loss occur
at short range, and determine Ppe. In a Landau-Zener
interpretation,
Ppe(J′) = 4e−2πΛ/parenleftbig
1−e−2πΛ/parenrightbig
sin2(βJ′), (8)
where Λ = |Vpe(Rp)|2/(¯hvpDp) and J′designates excited
state total angular momentum (See Section II F). Here
Vpe(Rp),vp,Dpare the respective coupling matrix ele-
ment, speed, and slope difference at the Rpcrossing, and
βJ′is a semiclassical phase angle [36]:
βJ′=/integraldisplayRp
R0eke(R, J′)dR−/integraldisplayRp
R0pkp(R, J′)dR+π
4,(9)
where R0iand ¯hki(R, J′) are the respective inner clas-
sical turning point at zero energy and local momentum
for state i=eorp. The attractive singlet potentials
may have one or more crossings with repulsive potentials
from lower-lying states, e.g., those correlating to3P+1S.
Thus the number, positions of crossings and the coupling
between states with crossing potentials are important for
the magnitude of Ppe. Although we can make reasonable
estimates for Λ, the phase angle βJ′is sensitive to details
of the potentials and can only be calculated accurately if
very accurate potentials are available [37].
6(2) The vibrational structure in the trap loss spectra
depends on both short and long-range potentials. The
spacing between the vibrational levels given by Eq. (6)
depends only on the long-range potentials, but the exact
positions of the levels in Eq. (5) are determined by the
short-range potentials in the region of chemical bonding
(through the vDparameter). Thus, the magnitude of the
vibrational spacings in our model calculations will be cor-
rect, whereas the actual positions can only be determined
by measurement.
(3) The short-range SC process also contributes to the
width of vibrational features in the trap loss spectra [38].
Depending on species, temperature, and detuning, the
widths may be primarily determined by natural or ther-
mal broadening or by the predissociation decay rate re-
lated to Ppe. However, we are able to place approximate
bounds on the magnitude of Ppe. Sections III C, IV, and
V discuss the contributions to feature widths and show
that natural and thermal broadening tends to be domi-
nant at small detuning, whereas SC broadening may be-
come dominant at large detuning.
The available data on short-range potentials varies
among the Group II elements. Ab initio potentials are
available for Mg [28,31]. The structure of the molecular
potentials is fairly simple because only states correlat-
ing to1P+1S (4 states) and3P+1S atoms (4 states) are
present (see Fig. 3) and the potentials provide quali-
tative data for possible SC mechanisms. On the other
hand, Ca, Sr and Ba have a very complex short-range
structure, because of large fine structure splittings in the
triplet states, and the states correlating to1D+1S and
3D+1S coming into play. For example, Boutassetta et
al.[29] and Allouche et al.[30] calculated the short-range
potentials for Sr and Ba respectively, but the large num-
ber of states (e.g., 38 states for Ba) makes it excessively
complicated to treat the short-range SC mechanism even
qualitatively.
The coupling between the singlet and triplet states at
short-range is due to spin-orbit couplings. The exact
magnitude of the couplings is unknown for all Group
II elements, but can be estimated using Table A1 of
Ref. [39], which relates the coupling matrix elements to
the3P2−3P0fine structure splitting. This approxima-
tion ignores any R-dependence of the spin-orbit matrix
elements due to chemical bonding. The fine structure
splitting of the3P state increases with atomic number
(see Table I).
We have opted for Mg as a model system, because
short-range potentials are available. Each singlet state
with attractive potential couples to only one triplet state
in the inner zone. Thus the SC trap loss problem for
Mg decouples into two three-state calculations, one for
the1Σ+
uand one for the1Πgexcited state. For Mg we
provide qualitatively correct SC trap loss spectra and
even give some quantitative estimates.
In the case of the other Group II elements and Yb,
we treat their complicated inner zone physics as one ef-
fective crossing, that is, we use three-state calculationsbased on the Mg-model, and explore the effects of mass,
radiative properties, and coupling strength (size of spin-
orbit splitting) in these model calculations. Thus we do
not use the ab initio potentials of Refs. [29,30] discussed
in the paragraph above, because even if we were to in-
clude all the curves, there would still be uncertainties
associated with unknown phases and unknown coupling
matrix elements. Rather, our goal is to indicate qualita-
tive differences in magnitude and spectral shapes among
the various species. We trust that these will be helpful
in providing guidance for future experimental and the-
oretical studies of these systems. As we discuss in Sec-
tion III B, our calculation of the excitation-transfer coef -
ficient κwill be to a large extent independent of details of
the complicated short-range molecular physics and curve
crossings.
F. Molecular rotational structure and coupling to
the laser field
The full three-dimensional treatment of the collision
of a1S atom coupled to a1P atom by a light field is
worked out in Ref. [40]. We adapt this treatment to our
simplified model with molecular Hund’s case (a) transi-
tions between two molecular states with the usual rota-
tional branch structure. The angular momentum J′′in
the ground state can only be that of molecular axis rota-
tion,J′′=l′′with projection m′′on a space-fixed axis.
The excited rotational levels in a Hund’s case (a) molec-
ular basis for a1Σ+
uor1Πgstate do not have mechanical
rotation l′as a good quantum number but instead the
total angular momentum J′with space projection M′.
The three possible transition branches have J′=l′′+B,
where the branch labels P, Q, and R respectively desig-
nate the cases B= -1, 0, and 1. The quasi-molecule
ground state can couple to the1Σ+
ustate only by P
and R branches, but to the1Πgstate by P, Q, and R
branches. All potentials have a centrifugal term added,
n(n+ 1)/(2µR2), depending on ground state n=l′′or
excited states n=J′=l′′+B.

tion probabilities are linear in |VA,B,l′′,m′′(u),q|2, we can

G. Model potentials for Mg
Our results are not sensitive to the detailed form of the
ground state potential, for the reasons given in Sec. II D.
Thus, we model the ground state potential by a Lennard-
Jones 6-12 form
Vg(u) = 4ǫ/bracketleftbigg/parenleftBigσ
λu/parenrightBig12
−/parenleftBigσ
λu/parenrightBig6/bracketrightbigg
. (13)
For Mg we model the ground state potential from [28]
with a well depth of ǫ= 0.002825 a.u. and an inner turn-
ing point of σ= 6.23 a0. This potential has a scat-
tering length of −95 a0for the24Mg reduced mass of
23.985042/2 atomic mass units. The scattering length
A0is determined from the k→0 behavior of the s-wave
phase shift: η0=−k∞A0.
Since the excited ab initio potentials of Ref. [28] do not
permit a quantitative calculation of spectroscopic accu-
racy, for the reasons given in Sec. II E, the specific forms
of the short-range (sr) excited-state potentials are not
important for our purposes of modeling the qualitative
structure and magnitude of the collisional loss. How-
ever, it is important to retain the correct long-range form.
Therefore for simplicity in the calculations and because
we want to model the other alkaline earth systems to ex-
plore the effect of different C3, Γat,λand mass, we havemodeled the ab initio potentials with Lennard-Jones 3-6
potentials keeping the long-range form fixed to its known
C3value given in Eq. (3)
Vsr(u) = 4ǫ/bracketleftbigg/parenleftBigσ
λu/parenrightBig6
−/parenleftBigσ
λu/parenrightBig3/bracketrightbigg
. (14)
We have two fitting parameters ǫandσ, and three
given values: well depth of the ab initio potential (the
depth of the model potential is ǫ), position of minimum
uminandC3(1Σ+
u) =−2d2
0orC3(1Πg) =−d2
0. Because
we want to fix the long-range potential C3we can not
fituminand the well depth at the same time and have
chosen the latter:

where
ǫ(Σ) = 0 .0347 a.u., σ(Σ) = 4 .339 a 0,
ǫ(Π) = 0 .0681 a.u., σ(Π) = 2 .751 a 0.
The well minima are λumin= 5.5 a0and 3.5 a 0for1Σ+
u
and1Πg, respectively, compared to the ab initio values
λumin= 6.1 a0and 5.4 a 0.
Both excited states have a SC mechanism in the short-
range region with coupling to a triplet state. The triplet
states are purely repulsive, and modeled with
Vp,A(u) =C6
λ6u6+V∞, (17)
where A=1Σuor1Πglabels the molecular state, and
V∞=−0.0601 a.u.
The SC from1Σ+
uto3Πutakes place around the inner
turning point of the1Σ+
upotential well. We have chosen
C6= 392 a.u. for the model of the3Πustate.
The SC from1Πgto3Σgtakes place about 1.5 a 0out-
side and 0.019 a.u. above the minimum of the1Πgstate
potential well. With C6= 81 a.u. we have a model of the
crossing where the corresponding values are: 1.0 a 0and
0.019 a.u. The difference in slope of the crossing poten-
tials is 0.030 a.u. for the ab initio potentials and 0.037
a.u. for the model.
The coupling between the crossing states are approx-
imated using Table A1 of Ref. [39]. The1Σ+
u-3Πuand
1Πg-3Σ+
gmatrix elements are ζ/√
2 and ζ/2, respectively,
where ζ= 1.84×10−4a.u. is 2/3 of the atomic3P2-
3P0splitting. For example, we estimate an upper bound
(sin2βJ′= 1) to the Landau-Zener version of Ppein
Eq. (8) for the1Πg-3Σgcrossing to be 2.6 ×10−3for the
model potentials and 2.8 ×10−3estimated from the ab
initio potentials. This upper bound is consistent with
8the calculated Ppeas a function of J′from our complex
potential calculation described below.
Since we will use a semiclassical method to determine
thePpefactor for the RE process via the1Σ+
ustate (see
Sec. III D below), we do not need an explicit probe chan-
nel for RE. However, we introduce a probe channel to
simulate RE in order to show that the same Jegfactor
in Eq. (1) applies for both SC and RE processes, irre-
spective of the choice of the short-range Rp. Since we
may take any form we like for a RE probe state, we use
a probe state potential which crosses the excited state
at a distance up, where the kinetic energy gained by the
collision pair is 1 K, corresponding to a trap depth of 0.5
K. The RE probe potential has a repulsive inner wall
VRE,probe(u) =C12
(λu)12−Vkin,RE,∞, (18)
where Vkin,RE,∞= 3.17×10−6a.u. and C12= 5×106a.u.
No rotational term is included in this probe channel. The
same probe state potential is used for all collision ener-
gies, which are small (mK range and below) compared to
the 1 K kinetic energy at up. The coupling between the
excited state and the probe state is chosen to be weak:
10−9a.u.
H. Model potentials for Ca, Sr, Ba and Yb
Since the different ground state values of C6and inner
potential shape make no difference for these model stud-
ies, for the reasons given in Sec. II G, we take the same
ground state Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential, Eq. (13), as
in the Mg case to model the other alkaline earth ground
states, and only change the reduced mass. This proce-
dure yields respective model scattering lengths of 67 a 0,
-65 a 0, -41 a 0, and 97 a 0for40Ca,88Sr,138Ba, and174Yb.
Thus, |A0| ≪RCin all model cases.
The long-range of the excited state potentials for Ca,
Sr, Ba and Yb is still exact, using the data from Table
I with the form in Eq. (3). Due to lack of accurate ex-
cited state short-range molecular potentials and because
of their more complicated structure, we model the trap
loss for Ca, Sr, Ba and Yb by scaling the potentials from
the Mg model Eqs. (15) and (16). The well depth ǫof
the1Σ+
uand1Πgpotentials are scaled by the size of the
singlet-triplet states splitting compared to that splitti ng
in Mg, e.g.:
ǫCa=ǫMgE(1P,Ca)−E(3P,Ca)
E(1P,Mg)−E(3P,Mg). (19)
The short-range structure is treated as one effective
crossing. The probe states are qualitatively like those in
the Mg model. The position (in energy) of the crossing
between the1Πgand probe state potentials is scaled as
above. The1Σ+
uand probe state potentials come very
close at the inner wall of the1Σ+
upotential around the
classical turning point Ve(u) =ε.The spin-orbit coupling constant ζscales with the spin-
orbit splitting of the3P atomic states. We use the same
definition of the matrix elements as for Mg. The Landau-
Zener adiabaticity parameter 2 πΛ in Eq. (8) for Ba and
Yb is larger than unity, leading to a modified shape of the
short-range adiabatic potentials and very small Ppe,SC.
Thus for Ba the1Σ+
u-probe state coupling and for Yb
the1Πgand the1Σ+
u-probe state couplings have been
reduced by about a factor 5 to obtain values of Ppe,SC
close to unity, in order to test the limit of very strong
broadening of the vibrational structure. We believe this
limit is physically more realistic. The variety of crossing s
in these systems might lead to a strong SC process.
III. COMPLEX POTENTIAL CLOSE COUPLED
CALCULATIONS
A. Description of method
The weak field approximation assumed in this study
allows us to apply a complex potential method [21,41],
since re-excitation of any decayed quasimolecular popu-
lation can be ignored. Furthermore, the weak field only
couples each ground-state partial wave to at most 3 rota-
tional states of the1Σuor1Πgstate through the P, Q, or
R branches. However, in the weak field the excited-state
rotational states do not couple further to other ground-
state partial waves. Therefore we can ignore any partial
wave ladder climbing. Thus, for each trap loss mecha-
nism we have three dressed states: a ground state g, an
excited state e, and a probe state, p. We solve the three-
channel, time-independent radial Schr¨ odinger equation
for ground state collision energy ε, partial wave l=l′′,
for each transition branch Band for a given intensity I

The elements of Vare described in Sec. II above. A
complex term −iΓ(u)/2 is added to the excited-state po-
tential to simulate the effect of excited-state decay. The
full retarded form of the molecular linewidth, Eq. (4), is
used.
Application of standard asymptotic scattering bound-
ary conditions to the three-component state vector φ
gives the S-matrix elements Sij(ε, l, B, ∆, I). Ifε >∆,
all three channels are open: i, j=g,p, ore. When
ε <∆, as is normally the case in our model, channel e
9is closed, and Sijis only defined for i, j=gorp. We
choose the light intensity Ilow enough that the results
are in the weak field limit where the Ppg=|Spg|2matrix
element scales linearly in I. Our results are normalized
to a standard intensity of I= 1 mW /cm2.
We find that we can make a change in the asymptotic
shape of the artificial probe potential to make the model
much more manageable computationally. The deep po-
tential well of the excited state and the large kinetic en-
ergy in the probe channel require a small stepsize in u
(λ∆u≈0.005 a 0). However, with the large range of u
(λumax≈1500-3000 a 0) a small ∆ uincreases the com-
putation time and may compromise the numerical sta-
bility. Therefore, we modify the probe state potential to
bring Vp(u) to a small negative value at intermediate and
asymptotic u. This results in a small asymptotic momen-
tum ¯hkin the probe channel, and allows us to gradually
increase the stepsize to λ∆u≈0.5 a0asuincreases. The
coupling between the excited and probe states is turned
off exponentially before the change in Vp(u). The prob-
abilities |Spg|2andPpeare completely independent of
the asymptotic properties of the probe potential if there
are no asymptotic barriers. Since we have no centrifu-
gal potential in the asymptotic probe channel, there are
no asymptotic centrifugal barriers. The presence of such
barriers in our previously published model [20] resulted
in some errors at larger l′′which we have now corrected
in the present model.

sures that only even partial waves exist for the ground

fixed collision energy ε, where we define Tε≡ε/kB. Only
the sum over partial waves and branches is performed:

There are two possible cutoffs l′′

gal potentials, respectively. For the ground state we can

don point is classically accessible for l′′≤l′′
maxand clas-
sically forbidden for l′′> l′′
max. For the excited state,
the centrifugal potential may create a barrier inside the
Condon point for the g→eexcitation. The position and
the height of the barrier depend on J′. For collision en-
ergies around ε=kBTDthis barrier may prevent allowedground-state partial waves from contributing to the loss,
because the excited-state population never reaches the in-
ner zone where RE decay and SC take place. In this case,
l′′
maxmay decrease from the value defined by the above
inequality. We find that the ground state cutoff applies
except for the case of high energy and small detuning.
In either case |Spg|2decreases many orders of magnitude
asl′′varies from l′′
maxover the next few l′′-values. The
upper limit for the sum in Eqs. (22) and (23) is set to the
l′′-value where (2 l′′+1)|Spg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I)|2is 10−6of the
maximum previous (2 l′′+ 1)|Spg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I)|2value.
B. Factorization of trap loss probability
The factorization in Eq. (1) allows us to separate the
physics of the long-range excitation and the short-range
decay to the trap loss channel. Reference [21] shows how
to determine the short-range probability Ppefrom a dif-
ferent coupled channels calculation where the complex
decay term −iΓ/2 in Eq. (21) is omitted. Since Ppeis
determined in a region near Rpwhere the local kinetic
energy is very high in relation to ε, this probability is
nearly independent of εover a wide range. Therefore, we
calculate [21]
Ppe(J′) =|Spe(ε >∆, l′′, B= 0,∆, I= 0)|2.(24)
Hereεis taken above the threshold energy ∆ where the
echannel becomes open and Speis defined.
Our numerical calculations show, as expected, that Ppe
is independent of εover a wide range, typically of ε/kB
from 0.3 mK to 300 mK at low J′and 3 mK to 300
mK at high J′, and also independent of ∆ in our small
range of detuning. The Landau-Zener interpretation of
Ppein Eq. (8) leads us to expect that Ppewill vary with
J′. This variation should be stronger for the outer1Πg-
3Σgcrossing than for the inner1Σu-3Πucrossing. For
the latter crossing, our calculations do give Ppevalues
which vary slowly with J′. We calculate Ppe(J′= 1)
to be 0.024, 0.44, 0.31, 0.34 and 0.64 for Mg, Ca, Sr,
Ba, and Yb respectively. These probabilities are all large
(order unity) except for the case of Mg. This qualitative
conclusion is likely to be robust, even though our model
calculations are only quite approximate.
In contrast to our results for the1Σu-3Πucross-
ing, Fig. 4 shows that the calculated Ppe(J′) values for
the outer1Πg-3Σgcrossing indeed depend much more
strongly on J′. A test of the Landau-Zener formula for
Mg shows that the result of Eq. (8) is indistinguishable
from the calculated line on the figure. The qualitative
feature of a dip in Ppeas it goes near zero for some J′
is associated with the phase factor in the LZ formula,
Eq. (9). Since the specific J′-range where this dip occurs
is sensitive to the potentials used [37], our model calcu-
lations can only be a qualitative guide even for Mg. The
relative values for the other species are also only qualita-
tive guides, since other curve crossings are also involved.
10In any case, Sr is likely to have a large (order unity),
perhaps the largest, Ppefor the1ΠgSC process.

We can use PpgandPpefrom the close coupling calcu-
lations to divide out the inner zone probability so as to
define a numerical excitation-transfer function from the
long-range region [21]
Jeg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I) =Ppg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I)
Ppe(J′), (25)
where J′=l′′+B.Jegmay be interpreted as the prob-
ability of reaching the short-range region due to opti-
cal excitation at long-range and propagation to short-
range, including return after multiple vibrations across
the short-range well. This interpretation follows from
the fact that one gets the total trap loss probability
Ppg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I) by multiplying Jeg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I) by the
probability Ppe(J′) in Eq. (24) of a trap loss event in a
single complete cycle across the well.
Using Eq. (25), we can define an excitation-transfer
rate coefficient κ(∆, ε)
κ(∆, ε) =kBTε
hQTε/summationdisplay
l′′even,B(2l′′+ 1)Jge(ε, l′′, B,∆, I).(26)
This rate coefficient κ(∆, ε) is related to the ordinary rate
coefficient K(∆, ε) in Eq. (23) through a mean inner zone
probability /an}bracketle{tPpe(ε)/an}bracketri}ht, which we can define by the relation
K(∆, ε) =/an}bracketle{tPpe(ε)/an}bracketri}htκ(∆, ε). (27)
Clearly, we can also define a thermal average κ(∆, T)
analogous to that in Eq. (22), and define a thermal aver-
age/an}bracketle{tPpe(T)/an}bracketri}ht=K(∆, T)/κ(∆, T).
The usefulness of the factorization in Eq. (1) is that it
allows us to define an excitation-transfer rate coefficient
κfrom which the inner zone SC probability has been re-
moved (however, see the discussion in Section III C3 be-
low about how a large Ppe(J′) may affect the width of res-
onance features). We can predict much more confidently
the properties of the long-range excitation and vibrationthan we can the short-range SC probabilities. Thus, once
we have a better knowledge of these short-range proba-
bilities, either through measurements or through better
theoretical knowledge of potential curves and couplings,
we can multiply our κcoefficients by /an}bracketle{tPpe(T)/an}bracketri}htto get the
SC rate coefficients.
C. Limiting cases of the excitation-transfer
probability
The attractive molecular potentials support molecu-
lar vibrational levels with vibrational quantum numbers
v, as described in Section II C. We can find simple
analytic expressions for the excitation-transfer functio n
Jeg=JeePegfactored according to Eq. (2) for two limit-
ing cases: (1) strongly overlapping resonances where the
probability is large for spontaneous decay during a sin-
gle vibrational cycle, i.e., the level width is larger than
the level spacing, and (2) non-overlapping, or isolated,
resonances, where many vibrations occur during a vibra-
tional decay lifetime, i.e., the level width is much smaller
than the level spacing. For Group II species,1Σutran-
sitions at small detuning tend to be of the former type,
but never become fully isolated in the detuning range we
consider. On the other hand,1Πgtransitions tend to be
of the latter type unless the detuning is very small or the
SC probability is very large.
1. Small detuning and fast spontaneous decay
The quantum mechanical theory of the first limiting
case for trap loss for small detuning and fast radiative
decay has been worked out in detail in Refs. [21,41,42,24],
where:
Jeg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I) =Jee(ε, l′′, B,∆)Peg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I).
(28)
The factor
Peg(ε, l′′, B,∆, I) = 1−e−2πΛ,
Λ =|Veg(RC)|2/(¯hvCDC), (29)
where vCandDCare the speed and slope difference at
the Condon point, represents the Landau-Zener proba-
bility of excitation from the ground state to the excited
state in a one-way passage through the Condon point
atRC. In this limit, radiative decay is faster than the
vibrational period (Γ v≫hνv), there are no multiple vi-
brations, and the excited state transfer factor
Jee(ε, l′′, B,∆) = e−aout≪1,
aout=λ/integraldisplayup
uCduΓ(u)
¯hv(u)(30)
11represents the probability of survival along the clas-
sical trajectory from the Condon point of excitation
to the point Rpof inner zone curve crossing; v(u) =
{2[ε−Ve(u)−∆]/µ}1/2is the local classical speed.
Note that the Landau-Zener expression for Pegin
Eq. (29) does not have the proper Wigner law threshold
behavior, since Jegshould be proportional to kat low col-
lision energy. However, our numerical Jegwill have the
proper Wigner law form. Note also that the quantum
mechanical calculations in Ref. [21,24,41,42] support thi s
semiclassical picture of localized excitation at the Con-
don point, not the delocalized excitation picture of the
Gallagher-Pritchard (GP) model [43], which for small de-
tuning predicts a dominant contribution to trap loss from
off-resonant excitation at distances much less than RC.
The GP model also does not satisfy the Wigner law at
lowT. We defer detailed comparisons with semiclassical
theories to a future publication.
2. Non-overlapping resonances
The second limiting case is that of non-overlapping vi-
brational resonances, that is, the spacing hνv[see Eq. (6)]
between vibrational levels vis much larger than their to-
tal width Γ v. This is typical of large detuning. Then
|Spg|2is given by an isolated Breit-Wigner resonance
scattering formula for photoassociation lines [38,44]:
Ppg=ΓvpΓvg
[ε−(Ev+sv)]2+ (Γ v/2)2. (31)
HereEv= ∆−εvis the detuning-dependent position of
the vibrational level in the molecule-field picture relativ e
to the ground state separated atom energy (when ∆ =
εv, then Ev= 0 and the vibrational level is in exact
resonance with colliding atoms with zero kinetic energy),
svis a level shift due to the laser-induced coupling, and
the total width Γ v= Γ vp+ Γvg+ Γv,radis the sum of
the decay widths into the probe (Γ vp) and ground state
(Γvg) channels and the radiative decay rate (Γ v,rad). In
the weak decay limit (Γ v≪hνv), we can write the Fermi
golden rule decay widths as [45,46]
Γvi= 2π|/an}bracketle{tv|Vvi|ε, l/an}bracketri}ht|2= ¯hνvPvi, (32)
where i=gorp,lis the partial wave for channel i, and
Pvirepresents the probability of decay during a single
cycleof vibration from level vto channel i. For the SC
process, Pvpis a very weak function of energy as long
as the detuning is not too large, and we can take Pvp=
Ppe, where Ppeis the energy-independent SC probability
discussed in Sec. III B. In the weak-field limit, Γ vgis very
small in relation to Γ v,rad, and we can ignore it (that is,
there is no power broadening).
Using Eq. (32) in Eq. (31), we get the factorization in
Eq. (28) with the resonant-enhanced transfer functionJee=(¯hνv)2
[ε−(Ev+sv)]2+ (Γ v/2)2. (33)
If we use the reflection approximation for the Franck-
Condon factor in Γ vg[34,35,44], then
Peg= 4π2|Veg(RC)|21
DC|φg(ε, l′′, RC)|2. (34)
Equation (34) may be used throughout the whole cold
collision domain (mK to nK). It satisfies the the correct
Wigner threshold law behavior at low energies because of
the|φg|2factor. In the s-wave limit for low temperature,
we may take the asymptotic form of the ground state
wavefunction and obtain:
Peg= 16π2|Veg(RC)|2
hv∞DCsin2k(RC−A0). (35)
This looks just like the Landau-Zener result in Eq. (8),
except that the asymptotic speed v∞appears in the de-
nominator instead of vC[34], and the correct quantum
phase appears in the sine factor instead of a semiclassical
phase.
3. Contributions to the linewidths
The expression, Eq. (28), for Jegin the limit of small
detuning and fast decay does not depend in any way on
the short-range SC probability. However, in the expres-
sion for Jegin the isolated resonance limit, the width Γ v
in the Jeefactor, Eq. (33), does depend on Ppethrough
the contribution of Γ vp= ¯hνvPpe. As long as Γ vpis small
compared to Γ v,rad, the total width Γ vis determined pri-
marily by Γ v,rad, and the shape of trap loss spectral lines
will still be nearly independent of Ppe. However, if Γ vp
makes a significant contribution to the total width, the
long-range excitation-transfer function Jegwill show ad-
ditional broadening dependent on the magnitude of Ppe.
The total radiative decay width Γ v,radcan be calcu-
lated from the long-range form of the decay rates in
Eqs. (4), using the excellent semiclassical approxima-
tion [47], /an}bracketle{tv|Γ(u)|v/an}bracketri}ht=νv/contintegraltext
v(Γ(u)/v(u))λdu, where the
semiclassical integral is over a complete vibrational cy-
cle. When RC<λ, we can use the lead term in the
expansion of Γ( u) inuin Eqs. (4), so that
Γv,rad(1Σu) = 2Γ at= constant , (36)
Γv,rad(1Πg) = Γ atπ
20a3u2
C= 0.701Γ C(1Πg), (37)
where a3is defined after Eq. (5) and Γ C(1Πg) is evalu-
ated at the outer turning point of the vibration, which is
almost the same as the Condon point.
For the detuning range we consider, the radiative width
of1Σulevels, 2Γ at, is much larger than Γ vp, which can
be calculated from Eq. (32) using the probabilities listed
in Sec. III B. Thus, Γ v≈Γv,radso that the shape of1Σu
12features (that is, their spacings and widths) should be
well-determined in our calculations.
Figure 5 shows Γ v,radand Γ vpfor1Πgfeatures for Mg,
Ca, and Sr. In our detuning range, Γ v,rad≫Γvpfor Mg.
Thus, the shape of Mg1Πgfeatures should also be well-
determined in our calculations. On the other hand, for
Ca and Sr, the Γ vpis larger due to the larger Ppe. Γvp
increases as ∆5/6due to the νvfactor in Eq. (32), and be-
comes larger than Γ v,radnear ∆ = 5Γ atin our model for
Sr and near 20Γ atfor Ca. Thus, we can expect predisso-
ciation broadening of1Πgfeatures to become observable
for Ca or Sr at relatively small detunings. Measurements
of such widths could lead to experimental information
about Ppefor the1Πgstate. On the other hand, our
calculated model line shapes should only be viewed as a
qualitative guide in a region where Γ vp≫Γv,rad.

D. Radiative escape calculations
The calculation of the RE trap loss rate coefficient fol-
lows the factorization procedure in Eq. (1) as for the
SC process. The RE loss is not due to a single curve
crossing, but rather to excited state emission from the
distance range R < R p=λup, where upis the point for
which a kinetic-energy increase of 1 K for the atom pair
has been gained after excitation (the 1 K is arbitrary–
we only choose it to represent a “standard” loss energy).
Clearly, RE can only be significant for the1Σustate, be-
cause of the negligible short-range emission from the1Πg
state. We calculate the total probability of radiative es-
cape, Ppe=Pdecayduring a complete cycle of vibration
across the region u < u pby integrating along the classical
trajectory:
Pdecay(ε, J′,∆) = 1 −exp(−a),
a= 2λ/integraldisplayuin
upduΓ(u)
¯hv(u). (38)
Pdecaydepends only weakly on ∆, J′. Variations with ε
at the highest collision energies also play a role when cal-culating the thermally averaged rate. The main contribu-
tion to Pdecaycomes from the long-range region where the
potential is determined by its analytic long-range form.
ThePdecayprobability is insensitive to collision energy
and detuning. In the detuning range ∆ /Γatfrom 1 to 50
and for a collision energy of kBTD, we find that Pdecay
ranges from 0.157 to 0.144 for Mg, 0.103 to 0.100 for Ca,
0.147 to 0.142 for Sr, 0.113 to 0.110 for Ba, and 0.149 to
0.145 for Yb. These hardly change at all at a collision
energy of kBTD/1000, for example, changing to 0.105 to
0.100 for Ca.
We have also used a calculation with an artificial probe
state crossing the excited state potential at Rp(Rp≈
150 a 0for our Mg model for J′= 1), as described in
Sec. II G, to calculate the excitation-transfer function Jeg
appropriate to the RE process. We find, as expected,
that the numerical Jegfunction calculated this way is
very nearly the same as the one calculated using the SC
Rpat much shorter range. For our detuning range the
radiative contribution to the total width Γ vof1Σulevels
is much larger than contribution due to predissociation
to the SC channel.
We expect that our radiative escape trap loss calcu-
lations are reliable in magnitude, since only long-range
properties are relevant in determining both Jegand
Pdecay. Therefore, in the next Section we can confidently
give absolute magnitudes for the RE contribution to the
total trap loss rate coefficient K(∆, T) for all alkaline
earth atoms we study here.
IV. RESULTS
A. Trap loss for Mg at T=TD
Our calculated results for TD= 1.9 mK for Mg colli-
sions are shown in Figs. 6(a), 7(a), and 8(a). These re-
sults are different from the results presented in Ref. [20],
since we have corrected some errors we made in the sum
over partial waves in that reference [48]. Figure 6(a)
shows on a logarithmic scale the separate contributions
of each SC or RE process to the thermally averaged rate
constant K(∆, T) from Eq. (22), whereas Fig. 7(a) shows
the corresponding results for K(∆, ε) at a single collision
energy ε. Figure 8(a) shows on a linear scale the sum
of contributions from all loss processes, and shows what
one might expect to see in a laboratory spectrum.
The dominant loss process for Mg at 1.9 mK is due to
RE from the1Σustate. The spectra for1ΣuRE and SC
processes have the same shape, since they have the same
excitation-transfer function κ. The RE and SC processes
differ only by a multiplicative factor that is nearly in-
dependent of ∆, due to the different Ppefactors for RE
and SC. The1ΣuRE probability only varies by 0.157 to
0.144 from detunings of 1 to 50 Γ at, whereas the1ΣuSC
probability is constant over this range. The1Σuspec-
tra in Figs. 6(a) and 7(a) are nearly the same, since the

broad features do not change much upon thermal averag-
ing. The rate coefficient becomes very small as detuning
decreases below 2 or 3 Γ at. This is because Jee≪1 for
very small detuning due to spontaneous emission during
the long-range approach of the two atoms. Spontaneous
emission losses become small for detunings larger than
around 10 Γ at, and vibrationally resolved, but rotation-
ally unresolved, photoassociation structure begins to de-
velop as detuning increases. This occurs as the spacing
between adjacent1Σuvibrational levels from Eq. (6) be-
comes larger than the radiative decay width. Several ro-
tational features with different J′may contribute to each
of the broad photoassociation resonances, with the range
ofJ′depending on detuning. Each individual1Σurota-
tional line has a width on the order of (2Γ at+kBT)/h≈
200 MHz. There is negligible predissociation broadening
due to SC processes in this region of the spectrum.
Using Eq. (5) in Section II C, the vibrational quantum
number vt, as counted down from the top of the potential
at the dissociation limit, can be given for the resolved,
or partially resolved, features in the trap loss spectrum.

ger. Each integer vtvalue defines an energy range which
contains only one vibrational level for a given J. The
vtquantum numbers for1Σuand1Πgfeatures are indi-
cated on Fig. 7. Note that there are many levels (not
calculated) within the range ∆ /Γat<1, a range where
Eq. (5) is not meaningful due to retardation effects on
the potential. The broad1Σufeatures provide an exam-
ple of overlapping resonances, analogous to those treated
by Bell and Seaton [49] for the case of dielectronic recom-
bination where the spacing between collisional resonance
levels becomes less than their radiative decay width.
The contribution to K(∆, T) from the1ΠgSC pro-
cess shows much sharper vibrational structure than the
corresponding1Σuspectrum. This is because of the
small radiative widths of the1Πglevels, which become
even smaller as ∆ increases. The individual contribution
from a number of narrow rotational levels is evident in
Fig. 7(a). Figure 6(a) shows that this1Πgstructure even
survives thermal averaging. Figure 8(a) shows that sharp
1Πgfeatures can even survive thermal averaging at 1.9
mK, although such features are quite weak for Mg and
would be hard to see (However, see below for Ca and

Ba, where such features might be observable). We find
that there are sharp J′= 11Πgfeatures due to s-wave
collisions that can be much narrower than kBT(which is
about 40 MHz at 1.9 mK), whereas features due to l′′>0
collisions have widths on the order of kBT. This s-wave
behavior is evident in our numerical calculations, but can
be easily explained in terms of the analytic behavior of
the isolated line shapes using Eqs. (31), (32), and (34).
We will discuss this s-wave resonance narrowing feature
in more detail elsewhere.
Figures 6 and 8 both show that at very small detuning,
on the order of 1 or 2 Γ at, the trap loss is dominated
by SC due to the1Πgstate. The increasing radiative
transition probability as detuning decreases, and the near
absence of spontaneous emission losses for the weakly
emitting state, ensures that the1Πgcontribution to trap
loss must be dominant at very small ∆. We will show
in the next section that this is even more important for
the heavier species. Our conclusion concerning the role
of the1Πgstate at small ∆ agrees with the findings of
Refs. [7,20].
Figures 6(b) and 7(b) show the contributions to SC
and RE processes for Mg at 190 µK. The broad1Σufea-
tures are not very sensitive to changing the temperature.
They narrow slightly at the lower temperature. However,
the1Πgfeatures simplify and clearly have contributions
from fewer partial waves. The effect of thermal averag-
ing on1Πgfeatures is to cause some broadening, with
consequent decrease in peak height.0123

B. Trap loss for Mg near 1 µK
Figure 8(b) shows K(∆, T) summed over all compo-
nents at the extremely cold temperature of 1.9 µK. This
is deeply in the Wigner law domain, where only s-wave
collisions contribute to the spectrum, and the rate con-
stant K(∆, T) becomes independent of T[1]. The broad
1Σufeatures are similar to the ones at higher tempera-
ture, but are due only to absorption by a single R branch
line from l′′= 0 to a J′= 11Σulevel. The only signifi-
cant broadening is due to radiative decay. On the other
hand, the1Πgfeatures, also due to a single R branch
line from l′′= 0 to a J′= 11Πglevel, become promi-
nent sharp features in the spectrum, having widths on
the order of a few MHz due to radiative decay. Even the
15level near 1 Γ atdetuning is quite sharp and isolated. Sec-
tion II E discusses why we expect to get the vibrational
spacings right, although we do not expect to predict cor-
rectly the actual position of levels, which depend on an
unknown phase due to the short-range1Πgpotential.
Figure 9(a) shows the excellent quality of the isolated
resonance approximation for a Mg1Πgs-wave absorp-
tion feature due to a single vibrational level. This ap-
proximation should be good in this case, since the mean
vibrational spacing near this level is 280 MHz, which is
much larger than the width. The Figure compares the
numerical line shape with that calculated using the iso-
lated resonance formulas discussed in Section III C. The
analytic formula calculates the factors in Eqs. (28), which
are used in Eq. (26), by making the isolated resonance ap-
proximation, Eq. (33), and the reflection approximation,
Eq. (35). The linewidth in the denominator of Eq. (33),
calculated to be 1.6 MHz from Eq. (37), is almost entirely
due to weak spontaneous decay of this1Πglevel, as dis-
cussed Section III C in relation to Fig. 5. Any broaden-
ing due to thermal averaging is negligible, since kBT/h=
0.04 MHz.
We have verified that our thermal spectrum at rela-
tively high temperature, 1.9 mK, is to a good approxima-
tion independent of the choice of ground state potential,
as discussed in Section II D. This is because of the need
to sum over several partial waves, for which the phase
of the ground state wavefunction varies by more than π.
In addition, the need to average over a range of collision
energies also contributes a range of phase variation to the
ground state wavefunction.
The spectrum at very low temperature, on the other
hand, is sensitive to the phase of the ground state wave-
function, which is generally unknown for Group II species
and strongly dependent of the details of the ground state
potential. This sensitivity is explained by the reflection
approximation in Eq. (35), which shows Pegis propor-
tional to sin2k(RC−A0). We have just seen that the
reflection approximation is excellent for isolated reso-
nance line shapes. Therefore, if we know K(∆, T) in
thes-wave domain for one scattering length A0, and
if we have a different potential with a different scat-
tering length A′
0, the K(∆, T) for the new case can be
scaled from the original one by multiplying by the ratio
sin2k(RC−A′
0)/sin2k(RC−A0). Figure 10 compares
this scaling (dashed lines) to numerical calculations (sol id
lines) for several different model ground state potentials
with different A′
0. The former are scaled from our original
calculation, for which A0=−95 a0. Figure 10 demon-
strates that this scaling is a good approximation, even
when the scattering length is unusually large and even for
overlapping1Σufeatures. The scaling relation is excel-
lent at small ∆ for scattering lengths having magnitudes
up to a few times x0(defined in Sec. II D and having a
value of 36 a 0for Mg). The scaling is even a reasonable
approximation for the case where A′
0= 400 a 0and the
ground state wavefunction has a node at RC=A′
0near∆/Γat= 15. The node for the A′
0= 930 a 0case occurs
for ∆/Γat<1 and is off scale in Fig. 10 for the A′
0= 99
a0case.

V. OTHER ALKALINE EARTH ATOMS
Our calculations for the other Group II species and Yb
are shown in Figs. 9(b), 9(c), 11, 12, and 13. We trust
that these model calculations, which can only provide
order of magnitude estimates for SC probabilities and
predissociation contributions to linewidths, will provid e
a useful qualitative guide to differences and similarities
among the various cases to guide future experiments on
these systems. Our calculations should be fairly robust
with respect to qualitative expectations as to the different
kinds of features to expect in trap loss spectra.
Figure 9(b) shows that a very low temperature Ca
1Πgfeature is very similar to the Mg one previously
discussed. The total width is slightly larger than the
radiative width due to weak predissociation of this fea-
ture (see Fig. 5). The effect of the large predissociation
width, where Γ vp>Γrad, is evident for the Sr feature in
Fig. 9(c). The isolated resonance approximation is also
beginning to fail for Sr lines because of the strong predis-
sociation broadening in our model with Ppe= 0.22 (see
Fig. 4). Although our model calculation for Sr predissoci-
ation widths should not be considered to be reliable, the
model does show that if the widths of1Πgfeatures like

the one in Fig. 9(c) could be measured, the data should
allow a value to be determined for Ppe. Since temper-
atures in the nK regime have already been reported for
intercombination line cooling of Sr, it may be quite fea-
sible to measure such widths.
Figure 11 shows the thermally averaged excitation-
transfer coefficients κ(∆, T) (see Eq. (26) and following)
for the1Σuand1Πgstates in these systems at TDfor the
1S→1P cooling transition. In spite of the fact that the
inner zone SC probability Ppeis divided out of the expres-
sion for κ(∆, T), there are still a number of differences
among the different species. The differences in spacing
and contrast of the individual vibrational features that
appear at larger detuning is clearly related to the vibra-
tional spacing, Eq. (6), which decreases with increasing
mass. The differences in magnitude can be qualitatively
related to the scaling of the different factors that make up
κ(∆, ε) in Eq. (26). There are four factors that contribute
to the scaling: (1) 1 /QT→µ−3/2, (2) the sum over
l′′→l2
max→µd4/3
0/∆2/3, (3)Jee(peak) →(νv/Γv)2→
λ6∆5/3/(µd16/3
0), and (4) Peg→ |Veg(RC)|2/(vDC)→
µ1/2d8/3
0/∆4/3. The net scaling of the peak magnitude
ofκ(∆, T) thus scales approximately as λ6/(µd4/3
0∆1/3).
This gives scaling factors at the same ∆ of 1, 5.0, 3.4,
6.4, 1.1 for Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Yb respectively (thesefactors should be scaled by an additional factor of λ/d2/3
0
if evaluated at the same scaled detuning, ∆ /Γat). These
scaling factors account for the relative magnitudes of the
peakκ(∆, T) for the1Σustate in Fig. 11(a) in the rel-
atively flat region from 20 to 50 ∆ /Γat. The scaling for
the1Πgspectra in Fig. 11(b) also needs to take into ac-
count the predissociation contribution to the width Γ v,
which was taken to be purely radiative for the scaling of
the1Σuspectrum in Fig. 11(a). For example, this extra
predissociation broadening lowers the peak of Sr features
below those for Mg in Fig. 11(b).

FIG. 12. Spectrum K(∆, T) summed over all RE and SC
contributions at TDfor Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba at a laser intensity

Figure 12 shows our model thermally averaged
K(∆, T) summed over all contributions. With the caveat
that the relative contributions of SC processes are not
likely to be reliable in our model calculations, these model
spectra show qualitative features that one might observe
in laboratory spectra. In particular,1ΠgSC processes
make a dominant contribution to the small detuning trap
loss for ∆ <a few Γ at. This has already been discussed
in Refs. [7,20]. We can compare our results to the mea-
sured 2 K(∆, T) = 4 .5(0.3)(1.1)×10−10cm3/s [50] for
Sr at ∆ /Γat= 1.75,I= 60 mW/cm2, and T≈4TD
[7]. Although the effect of a strong laser field needs
to be investigated for this case, Ref. [24] suggests that
near-linear scaling may apply to small detuning trap loss
even in the strong field domain (see Fig. 6 of that refer-
ence). If we assume linear scaling with I, our calculated
value for T=TDatI= 1 mW/cm2scales to a value of
2K= 6×10−10cm3/s atI= 60 mW/cm2. The agree-
ment of our very approximate model to within a factor
of two with the measured result for Sr is gratifying and
lends confidence to the usefulness of our estimates.
At the present, there are no other data on Sr or other
Group II species to which we can compare our calcula-
tions directly. The Ca 2photoassociation spectra in a 3
mK Ca MOT reported by Zinner et al. in Ref. [17] ex-
tend over a detuning range from about 50 to 2700 Γ at,
which is larger than we calculate. They observed1Σu
features and gave a detailed analysis of partially resolved
17rotational substructure for a feature near ∆ = 27 GHz
= 780 Γ at. The fact that the width of this feature could
be explained by a combination of natural and thermal
broadening of several rotational lines implies that pre-
dissociation broadening makes a small contribution to
the linewidth of this feature. If we assume that 20 MHz
or less of the observed 150 MHz feature width is due
to predissociation, we would then estimate the1ΣuSC
Ppe<0.05, which is much less than the value 0.4 esti-
mated by our model for Ca. Although our model should
not be extrapolated to such large detuning without care-
ful testing, this apparent inconsistency points out that
much more detailed knowledge of potentials and matrix
elements is needed for accurate calculations. It is an in-
teresting fact to be explained why the apparent predisso-
ciation rate of1Σulevels in Ca 2is relatively small, given
the likelihood of several curve crossings with moderately
large matrix elements (see Fig. 2).
Our calculations in Fig. 12 suggest that resolved struc-
ture due to1Πgfeatures may be seen at small detunings
below around 25Γ atfor Ca and Ba. Structure for Sr
is predicted to be suppressed by strong predissociation
broadening. No1Πgstructure was reported for detun-
ings larger than around 50Γ atin Ref. [17]. Such1Πg
structure in Ca 2at these larger detunings may be hard
to see due to masking by the strong1Σufeatures.
Figure 13 shows our predictions for Ca and Sr features
at extremely low T=TD/1000. This is in the s-wave
limit where the1Πgstructure becomes quite sharp, as
discussed in relation to Fig. 9 above. In this domain
sharp1Πgfeatures should be the dominant features in the
trap loss spectrum. It is noteworthy that this structure
is predicted to persist even to very small detunings on
the order of Γ at. Thus, if the Sr trap loss experiments
of Ref. [7] could be repeated at these low temperatures,
such features might be measurable. Figure 5 predicts
that predissociation widths may be large enough for Sr 2
1Πgfeatures at even a few Γ atdetuning that observed
broadening in the spectra might be able to determine
Ppefor the Sr1ΠgSC process. Thus, low temperature
measurements provide for tests of consistency with high
temperature measurements.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
We have carried out model calculations of the small-
detuning collisional trap loss spectrum of laser cooled
Group II species Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba and also Yb. We
consider detunings ∆ up to 50 atomic linewidths Γ atto
the red of the1S0→1P1laser cooling transition for
these species and treat both inelastic state-changing col-
lisions and radiative loss. Although our calculations are
only model calculations because the short-range molec-
ular potentials are not known to sufficient accuracy, we
do incorporate the correct long-range aspects of the po-
tentials and spectra. These calculations are intended as246810121416K(Δ,T) [10-12 cm3/s]Ca T = 830 nK

a guide for developing experimental studies on these sys-
tems, which have the advantage that the collisions are
not complicated by molecular hyperfine structure.
We consider both the mK range for Doppler cooling
on the allowed1S0→1P1transition, and µK range for
Doppler cooling on the1S0→3P1intercombination tran-
sition. Collisions in the mK range involve many partial
waves, whereas µK collisions only involve s-wave colli-
sions. Our quantum mechanical calculations avoid semi-
classical approximations and properly account for the
threshold properties of the collisions. Our interpretatio n
of trap loss collision dynamics is based on a factorization
of the overall probability into parts that represent long-
range excitation, propagation to the short-range region,
and short-range radiative or curve crossing processes that
lead to loss. Thus, we can define an excitation-transfer
coefficient κ(∆, T), which, unlike the conventional rate
coefficient K(∆, T), offers a significant degree of indepen-
dence from the details of unknown short-range processes.
Our analysis shows how analytic formulas in the limits of
small or large detuning can be used to interpret the trap
loss spectrum.
The trap loss spectra in all the Group II systems
are influenced by two molecular transitions, the dipole-
allowed1Σg→1Σutranstion and the dipole-forbidden
1Σg→1Πgtransition. The latter becomes allowed at
long-range because of retardation corrections to the tran-
sition matrix element. The1Σufeatures are structure-
less at small detuning and reduced in magnitude due to
spontaneous decay of the excited state as the atoms ap-
proach one another on the excited state molecular poten-
tial. They show broad vibrationally resolved but rota-
18tionally unresolved photoassociation structure as detun-
ing increases away from atomic resonance. On the other
hand, the1Πgabsorption always dominates at small de-
tuning. Resolved1Πgvibrational and rotational pho-
toassociation structure can persist even to small detun-
ing, and should be especially prominent at very low tem-
perature. Measurement of the widths of such features
could lead to information about the short-range prob-
ability of the state-changing collisions, at least for the
heavier Group II elements.
There are only very limited data with which we can
compare our calculations. Our model calculations agree
within a factor of two with the measured Sr trap loss
rate coefficient at a single detuning. Photoassociation
spectra for Ca only exist for much larger detuning than
we consider here, but suggest that the probability of
the1Σustate changing process may be much smaller
than our model calculations indicate. The time is right
for more detailed and complete experimental studies on
these Group II systems. Recent experimental advances
in Group II cooling and trapping suggest that such stud-
ies will be forthcoming. A number of other directions
are also open for continuing experimental and theoret-
ical studies, for example, trap loss collisions near the
1S0→3P1intercombination line, or collisions associated
with two1P1atoms or two3P atoms.

Abstract
A comparison is given between the Newtonian and Einsteinian frames
of gravitation. From this it is shown that there exist a weak c onnection to
gravitation and electromagnetism. This connection is then studied more
thoroughly with the Weyl tensor and with the electromagneti c vacuum Λ.
Which dictates General Relativity should be reformulated t o confer to a
‘Einstein-Cartan-Weyl’ geometry. Where it is seen that the Gravitational
Constant is the inverse of the Compton wavelength shown thro ugh a Weyl
gauge potential of form [ Fαβ+Aα
aβ];β. The gauge potential along with
Einstein-Cartan geometry is argued to explain superlumina l velocities ob-
served within General Relativity.

1 Introduction
There are currently two viable models for the gravitational field, being the
classical and the relativistic gravitational field. Of cour se this refers to the law
of universal gravitation proposed by Newton and General Rel ativity (GR) by
Einstein. The two theories are certainly correlated and att empt to describe the
same phenomena, however mathematically they are treated qu ite different from
one another. It thus becomes natural for the sake of coherenc e to give a unified
structure of the two theories, even if only ad hock. What is pe culiar, or even

professional position at the above address. This work was ma de possible through my own
personal research and studies, and does not reflect the above listed institution.
1far more obvious is that both theories of gravitation are sub tle variations of the
second law of motion .
The development of this work was made possible through study ing the rela-
tionship between classical and relativistic gravitationa l fields where a weak con-
nection can be shown to electromagnetism. In previous works it has been shown
that the cosmological constant Λ can be represented by a cova riant electromag-
netic field [1], [2]. It has also been suggested that the cosmo logical constant
can be derived from the quantum vacuum [3], [4]. Using an anal og of quantum
theory and electromagnetism an empirical unification with g ravitation is quickly
realized with the classical Kaluza-Klien (KK) theory [6]. F rom an empirical KK
geometry a connection with gravitation and Newton’s second law of motion can
be explained by means of the Weyl tensor within the GR formali sm. The general
conclusion that can be arrived from this analysis is that GR i s not a complete
theory of gravitation when only considering Ricci curvatur e of the Riemannian
manifold.
The organization of this work is given rather straight forwa rd in §1.1 the
Newtonian theory for gravitation is explained through the second law of mo-
tion. In§1.2 Newton’s view of the world is briefly discussed, where as i n§1.3
Einstein’s ‘world view’ is given, where the two are related w ithin§1.4. In §1.5
G is reformulated through the second law, where a relation is shown to elec-
trostatics in §1.6, which is shown to be a superposition field within §2. In§2.1
empirical equations of this field are given, which is resembl es a KK space which
is discussed in §3. A gauge field is considered for gravitation in §4, which sug-
gest a correlation to the vacuum energy explored in §5. In§6 the GR analog is
discussed with the Weyl tensor. In §6.1 first order Lagrangians are presented,
which leads to teleparallel Weyl tensor in §6.2. In §7 a relationship between vac-
uum energy and the gravitational constant are given. A stand ing wave is shown
in§7.1 which gives an allusion of the classical KK space. The exp lanation for
the Vacuum charges in the title is seen in the Appendices. App endix A describes
the relation between the gravitational constant and the Com pton wavelength, as
well as explaining superluminal velocities observed in ast rophysics. Appendix B
gives an alternative origin for mass increase, Appendix C br iefly discusses other
theoretical values for G. Finally in Appendix D there is show n a need to modify
the definition of the planck length under this work.
1.1 Newton-Einstein Gravity
It is obvious to start such a modeling with the widely known Ne wton-Einstein
action:
d2xµ
dt2=κc2
8π∂
∂xµ/integraldisplayσdV0
t(1)
Where the left term is defined by the second law of motion:
m/braceleftbiggd2xµ
dt2+ Γα
βydxβ
dtdxy
dt/bracerightbigg
=Fα(2)
Here another generalization of the second law can be given wi th the equation
/vectorF=md2/vector r
dt2. When taking the convection /vector r= (x,y,z ) a gravitational acceleration
2is derived by:
md2/vector r
dt2=−GMm/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vector r−/vectorR′/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle2/vector e(/vector r,/vectorR) (3)
The gravitational field is then defined through ϕ=GM/R , thus a gravitational
field is produced through poisson’s equation through ∇ϕ= 4πGρ. Where for
simplicity sake we receive the standard deviation for Newto n’s gravitational
field:
/vectorFg=Gm1m2
d/vector r2(4)
It is quite clear that Newton’s formulation of gravitation i s formed through the
his second law of motion. Which is explained as an external fo rce mechanism
which causes masses to accelerate one another.
1.2 the absolute spacetime
Newton considered space and time as separate and finite invar iant dimensions.
We can see this definition early on in Book I of Princpa by means of Scholium
I:
“absolute, true, and mathematical time, of itself, and from i ts own
nature flows equably without regard to anything external, an d by an-
other name is called duration: relative, apparent, and comm on time
is some sensible and external (whether accurate or unequala ble) mea-
sure of duration by the means of motion, which is commonly use d
instead of true time; such as an hour, a day, a month, a year .”
A conclusion that is drawn from the roots of Euclidean geomet ry which can be
expressed in the form
ds=/radicalbig
dx2+dy2+dz2 (5)
where the following spatial identities arise by means of an i nfinitesimal rotation:
Fx=Fxcosθ+Fysinθ, Fy=Fxsinθ+Fycosθ, Fz′=Fz(6)
again we see how the spatial definition directly relates to th e second law of
motion.
1.3 Special Relativity
With a suggestion from Minkowski Einstein transformed the c herished absolute
description of space and time to a relative space-time of the form:
ds2=dct2−dx2−dy2−dz2(7)
with the invention of a ‘spacetime’ continuum, one can notic e subtle changes
with an infinitesimal rotation:
ct′=coshθct −sinhθx, x′=sinhθct +coshx, y′=y, z′=z(8)
With Einstein’s fundamental postulate acceleration in suc h a frame would be
limited to the speed of light, lending the beta function:
γ=γ(v) =1
/parenleftbig
1−v2
c2/parenrightbig1/2(9)
3working backwards now we can see that kinetic energy of a body in this frame
is given in the form
KE=u/integraldisplay
0mγ3udu=mc2(γ−1) (10)
Thus at this point we see that these two different formulation s of space will
produce very different forms of acceleration. In classical t erms mass is defined
as a focused point of force, while in relativistic terms it is defined as ‘stress-
energy’ within an arbitrary manifold.
1.4 forces to fields
Taking a new look at Newton-Einstein gravity one may make a se cond order
generalization of the field by:
Ti
j/braceleftbiggd2xµ
dt2−Γα
βydxβ
dtdxy
dt/bracerightbigg
=kc2
8πgi
j∂
∂xµ(11)
Notice how this equation describes gravitation not as a forc e but as a manifold.
Furthermore mass is no longer an intrinsic property but a loc al field in the
geometry, i.e. the change results in going from a point parti cle theory (mass)
to a field theory (tensors). This force is taken equivalent to a manifold of the
form∂f
∂xµ=∂
∂xµ, assuming a Riemannian manifold and lines of calculations o ne
results in the Einstein-Field-Equation (EFE)
Ri
j−1
2gi
jR=−kc2
8πTi
J. (12)
Thus it can naturally be seen that the roots of GR can be origin ated through
the second law of motion. In a larger since, the “gravitation al force” is in
reality a consequence of the second law of motion, expressed differently only
in the terms of mathematical dimensions. Therefore one may w ish to ex-
plain the gravitational force as a two dimensional accelera tion of the form
F′
g=a(E/c2)(E/c2)/dr2= 4πaρ=∇ϕ. Of course for a gravitational field
a is replaced by Newton’s Gravitational constant G.
1.5 dimensional analysis of the gravitational constant
One can not deny the similarity between a classical gravitat ional field and the
Coloumb Law Fcol=kQ1Q2/r2. Suggesting classically what Kaluza, Klein,
Weyl, and others have proposed, a unification with the electr omagnetic force.
In GR the flat or massless gravitational field is given with Ri
j−1
2gi
jR= 0.This is
not entirely correct because the kappa term does not entirel y vanish leading to
Ri
j−1
2gi
jR= 8πke.... It is seen that the interpretation of a geometrical manifol d
neglects gravitational acceleration. If it is a property of the electromagnetic field
however, the second law of motion and the vacuum field equatio ns still hold true.
To elaborate more on the gravitational constant1one must be familiar with
1Modern values given the gravitational constant as [5]: G= (6.74215 ±0.000092) ×

In keeping with the relationship between the gravitation an d the second law
of motion this must be rewritten in the form T2=kr3, which is analogous to
pendulum motion T2= 4π2l/gwhere

Through dimensional analysis we can reduce this in a form whi ch relates to the

r(15)
=m×16πr/k
r=m×16πmr

kr2=G.
Once again we see the relevance of the second law of motion, pe rhaps more
relevently with Kepler’s Laws. Furthermore the gravitatio nal constant G can
be represented by k≡√

becomes:

Here the time dimension is given statute through quaternion rotations in C*
space. The superposition of electromagnetism and gravitat ion can be seen
within a relativistic frame in a accordance with ˆ ηIK=diag(−2,−2,2i,−2i),
in the fifth coordinate this corresponds to η(5)
IK=diag(−1,−1,−1,−1,−1). In

Thus it is seen that an observation will only occur in a quantu m system if
two anti-symmetric η(5)
IJtensors come in contact (which one might expect from
the Weyl tensor). This wave equation suggest KK-space expan ds into four-
dimensions, resulting in self interaction. Furthermore wh en one compares the
chargeqn=n(k/R5) with the planck length, one sees the relation with the fine
structure constant.
R5=2√αlp (53)
From equation (38), from this it may be seen that the second la w produces fine
structure which in turn yields the planck length.
4 gauge backgrounds
The gravitational force is a collection of interacting forc es connected in some
form by the second law (e.g. the fine structure constant). When one separates
the properties of a given force from the Einstein equations, its fundamental
principle break resulting in only a weak equivalence princi ples (which can be
interpreted as a gravitational pressure). Thus lending a ma nifold whos proper-
ties depend on the pressures applied to it by external factor s. By the methods
implied thus far it makes sense to make use of the semi-classi cal approach to
gravitation Gµν(γ) =<ψ|Tµν(g,ˆφ)|ψ >. To begin let us apply a gauge field of
form
−k(Fµ;ψ
ν−1
2δµν
;ψ(x)+Aαν
µF;ψ)/negationslash= 0 (54)
which resembles a convection made seventy year ago by Einste in [9]:
Gµα;α−Fµν;ν+ ΛµστFστ≡0. (55)
9Thus it may be viewed that the above equation is the solution f or flat spacetime
which implies that the canonical approach γαβ(x) =ηαβ+khαβ(x) should be
utilized. Such that the gauge field equation becomes:
−k(Fµ;ψ
ν−1
2δ;ψ(x)
µν+Aµ
ανF;ψ)≥i¯h∂ψ
∂t/braceleftbigg8π√−˜gTµ;ψ(x)
ν (x)/bracerightbigg
(56)
where
i¯h∂ψ
∂t= [1
2m(ˆp−eA)2+eV]ψ. (57)
From this it is seen that the right of the equation is governed by the laws
of quantum mechanics giving a pseudo unification through mea ns of a complex
gauge field. Meaning that the fifth coordinate is false, howev er through complex
fields, torsion becomes an integral part of both sides of the g auge inequality. The
stress-energy tensor can have torsion along with electroma gnetic field through
the classical connection
Tµν= (Qc2+p)uµuν+pgµν+1
c2(FµαFα
ν+1
4gµνFµνFµν). (58)
Where torsion is given through Sµνσ=ψ[µνσ], implying the inequality has
torsion in flat spacetime; where one may utilize the action pr inciple [10]:
δ/integraldisplay√−gd4x/parenleftbiggR
k+L/parenrightbigg
= 0. (59)
Therefore a pseudo superposition can take place within flat s pacetime, explain-
ing the relationship between Newtonian gravitation and ele ctrostatic potentials
in previous sections.
5 vacuum energy and geodesics
From the Dirac field i¯h∂ψ
∂t, matter would act as a void within the QED vacuum.
This would thus cause the virtual energy1
2¯hωof the quantum vacuum, to adapt
a negative energy term. This process would then act to collap se the space around
it, in the presence of n≥1 ‘false vacuum’ mass acts on the fields to adopt
anegative energy requirement , which violates the weak energy condition
(WEC)TµνVµVν≥0. Here we take this to mean a cosmological constant, such
that the gauge inequality (56) becomes:
−k(Fµ;ψ
ν−1
2δ;ψ(x)
µν+Aµ
ανF;ψ) +λ≥i¯h∂ψ
∂t/braceleftbigg8π√−˜gTµ;ψ(x)
ν (x)/bracerightbigg
(60)
The cosmological constant can be given through Λ = −1
16πFµνFµν, so that
the inequality suggest that ∆ xµ∆xν≥1
2Λgµν. From this we may conclude that
there exist an uncertainty within the field. This is impart be cause the vacuum
can be described through:
Rµν−1
2gµνR=−Λgµν (61)
10we can also see that this formalism closely resembles (46), i .e. Weyl’s definition.
Which suggest electrostatic energy is lost through the unce rtainty which exist
through the pseudo geometry and vacuum. With
Fµν=∂Aν
∂xµ−∂Aµ
∂xν, (62)
the geodesic for the vacuum becomes

∂S2+ Γν
µ/parenleftbigg∂xµ
∂S/parenrightbigg /parenleftbigg∂xν

mc2Aµxµ(63)
we note that under this pseudo connection the Gamma term appe ars to be under
torsion, through an action of Γb
a=dΛb
a+ Λc
a∧Λb
c. Thus (62) would appear to
take the form:
Fν
µ=∂Aν
∂xµ−∂Aµ

such a geodesic path is remarkably similar to a sphere geodes ic of an electron
traveling through gravitational and magnetic fields

However, the accepted geodesic for an electromagnetic field is that of

∂S+ Γi

cFikuk (66)
From the above equation, it can be seen that at least empirica lly the vacuum
electrostatic potential (the true vacuum) is responsible f or curvature of space-
time. If one were to block the vacuum energy as in the case of th e Casimir effect,
it will create an inequality within the pseudo geometry resu lting in a gravita-
tional pressure. Therefore so to speak, a matter Lagrangian (false vacuum)
shields (true) vacuum (zero-point-field) energy, thus resu lting in negative en-
ergy, which may be interpreted through the Weyl tensor as tor sion. Specifically
the interaction in time produced by the pseudo Kaluza-Klien space produces
the relationship between the vacuum states by [21]:
φout(k,η) =αφ+
k+βφ−
k(67)
thus acting as the advanced and retarded Fouier series seen i n section (2.1).
Therefore the Riemannian tensor Rµνρσcontracts via the Levi-Civita connection
to conserve the vacuum term, resulting in symmetric Ricci sp acetime curvature,
along with an antisymmetric Weyl torsion.
6 EM vacuum and the Weyl tensor
If one takes the coefficients of the Cosmological Constant and the Weyl tensor
one has the antisymetric field C[ρσ][µν]FµνFµν(note: for simplicity the con-
trivariant term Fµν, will be removed, it will be reinstated in (79))2. Which has
2It is exactly from this action that we see the gauge condition envisioned by Einstein [9]
appear in a more coherent form.
11the following form:
C[ρσ]Fµν=Cµ
[ρσ]µFµν=C[ρσ][µν]FµνFµν (68)
=CFµν=Cµ
µFµν=CµνFµνFµν (69)
=CρσFµνFµν (70)
Cρ[σµν]= 0 (71)
from this it may be seen that the Weyl tensor is an electromagn etic version of
GR.
One may now apply a jacobi identity in order to from a pseudo Bi anchi
Identity of the form Cαβ[µν;λ]= 0. Which can be reduced to
∇λCαβµν+∇νCαβλµ+∇µCαβνλ= 0 (72)
where we can contract with Fαµ
∇λCβν− ∇νCβλ+∇µCµ
βνλ= 0 (73)
which can be contracted further with Fβλ
∇λCλ
ν− ∇νC+∇µCµ
ν= 0 (74)
or
∇µ(Cµν−1
2FµνC) = 0 (75)
From this we may conclude that a similar transformation will be made with the
anitsymmetric covariant term Cρσ. When we restore the field with equation
(70), we have the following field equation:
C[ρσ]−1
4Fµν+Aµ
ανC=−Λgµν (76)
where the gauge term is assumed to be an Ansatz Aµ
α=ηµν
α∂νlnφ(x), thus
equation (46) is only an approximation of the above field. To o btain field density
one is left with

this solution is parallel to the Einstein field equation, whe n considering anti-
symmetric scalar curvatures.
Thus it is seen that the cosmological constant is the source o f torsion in
the antisymetric Weyl tensor. In essence the false electrom agnetic vacuum is
responsible for gravitation within the Weyl-tensor. Our ne w variable action is
a Weyl-Hilbert action:
SWH=δ/integraldisplay√−gd4x/parenleftbigg(R+ 2Λ)

resulting in an uncertainty of the form ∆ xµ∆xν=1
2|θµν|(note: such an empir-
ical uncertainty was give in section (5)). Which suggest tha t the Weyl tensor
should be given within a complex gauge field. Such that the Wey l-Hilbert action
transforms to a Complex-Hilbert action of form:
SCH=√gd4x/parenleftbigg(C+ 2Λ)

This was suggested in section (2.1), meaning within a quantu m frame the
electromagnetic and gravitational properties of the Weyl t ensor may interact
through a weak superposition. However, we also note from sec tion (4) a com-
plex solution is only empirical, thus (83) is only a pseudo ac tion.
6.1 gravitational Lagrangians
Let us form a Lagrangian for the vacuum solution −Λgµν. In order to describe
such an action principle we will start with the GR Lagrangian for matter in the
form:
SM=/integraldisplay√gd4x(gµν∂µφ∂νφ+...) (84)
from our approach thus far we would like to consider perturba tions from the
vacuum such that:
δmetricSEM=−/integraldisplay√gd4xΛgαβδ˜Fαβ(85)
which can simply be given by
Λgαβ:=1√gδ
δ˜FαβSEM. (86)
From section (6) we now make the modification
Λgαβ:=1√−gδLEH
δ˜FαβSWH= ([Cρσ−1
4gαβ+ 2C];β). (87)
It is seen from this Lagrangian that the cosmological consta nt in the EFE, is in
fact an electromagnetic Weyl tensor.
13On taking the conditions Tµν(x) = 0 ⇒Rµνρσ=Cµνρσ(x), in the absence
of a matter Lagrangian torsion is carried by the symmetric We yl tensor or gen-
erated from the electromagnetic vacuum −Λgµν. Resulting in an uncertainty of
the form ∆ xµ∆xν=1
2|θµν/iαha

a teleparallel description of gravitation in flat spacetime . Thus the cosmolog-
ical constant is a perturbation within the curvature connec tion made possible
through virtual particles (i.e. the false vacuum).
6.2 teleparallel geometry
The Cartan torsion connection is given by:
Tσµν= Γσνµ−Γσµν, (88)
with tetrad form
Γρ
µν=haρ∂νha
µ (89)
Thus the vacuum-energy tensor has torsion of the order

such that within the EFE the Cosmological Constant takes the form
Rαβ−1

with current potentials
J∗:=dF∗=dθµ∧ωµ−θµ∧dωµ (96)

the Weyl tensor to carry a cosmological charge current. Ther eby the final form

The right side of the above equation can be written in the form −JΛGβ

∇µFµν[ρσ]=Jν−[∇ρTνσ− ∇σTνρ...] (101)

15Thus allowing a metric to remain conformaly invariant throu gh the rescaling
operationgµν(x)→ef(x)gµν(x). This would make the torsion term appear
to disappear within classical GR by means of Ricci curvature , or through the
Einstein-Hilbert action S=/integraltext√gdx4R. However, the cosmological charge cur-

Since the Cosmological coefficient is included in the Weyl ten sor we have been
considering, it vanishes under a Cosmological model. There fore the action for
Weyl gravitation is not governed by the pseudo action (83), b ut by (111).
7 The vacuum and the meaning of G
An alternative interpretation of mass was assumed by de Brog lie by the Einstein-
de Broglie equation:
¯hωC=m0c2. (113)
This formalism has be restated recently by Haisch and Rueda [ 14] as a possible
explanation for the origin of inertial mass. Where C is given by the Compton
wavelength λC=h/mc, thereby asserting the origin of inertia through the
Compton wavelength. If we take the equivalence principle by heart then, one
must assume that gravitational inertial would arise throug h a similar action.
From Einstein-Cartan geometry we can assume that this field w ould be given
through torsion. Specifically we will assume an equivalence of order Λ C=
2πG−1(see A for details), this is validated by the quantization λC/2π. From
this we see that G is the inverse charge of an electron’s Compt on wavelength.
In terms of EFE we have

2gαβR=−8π/angb∇acketleftGQ/angb∇acket∇ight
c2Tαβ+/angb∇acketleftλQ/angb∇acket∇ight Gα (114)
in essence it appears that this is simply a post Einsteinian s emi-classical cor-
rection to the field equations (with teleparallel Weyl torsi on acting as a gauge
background) .
From our supposed relation, one would have an identity of for mλG=I.
Therefore the above relation transverses to
Rµν−1
2gµνR+λ−G=−8πITµν (115)
16Let us now suppose that the identity is equivalent to the de Br oglie wavelength
I=h/p. Thus:
/angb∇acketleftGQ/angb∇acket∇ight ≡h/p
h/mc=λd
λC(116)
whereλdis the de Broglie wavelength given by λd=h/p. From Compton
scattering we may assume that gravitational waves can pass t hrough particles
as though they were a wave. When we view the geodesic (66) one m ay rewrite
the identity in eq. (115), such that I= 1/√gkk. This results from a geodesic of
order [17]:
1√gkk/bracketleftbigg∂2ui
∂S2+ Γi
kl/parenleftbigg∂xk
∂S/parenrightbigg /parenleftbigg∂xl
∂S/parenrightbigg/bracketrightbigg
=e
mc2Fik(117)
thus it is viewed from this that the term e/mc2is nearly a classical approxima-
tion of the Compton wavelength λC=h/mc. We see this when we compare the
energy sources to that of the classical fine structure consta nt
σrad∼Z2
137/parenleftbigge2
m0c2/parenrightbigg2
cm2/nucules (118)
which is given by an electrons radius r=e2/m0c2= 2.818×10−13cm. Where
through the quantum correction one has 2 πe2/hc=1
137. Further the inversion
by the Cosmological Constant3yields the Gravitational Constant through the
identity 1/√gkk, or specifically through the geodesic coordinate uk=∂S/∂xk.
Thus it is seen that the gravitational constant, fine structu re, and the second
law of motion appear to arrive from quantum charges!
7.1 standing waves and the fifth coordinate
We note that a superposition of a sinusoidial wave yields a st anding wave of
the formp= 2asin(2πx/λ)cos(2πvt/λ ). With this the standing wave of the
gravitational constant would be given through:
pG−λ0= 2acos(2πvt/λd)
sin(2πx/λC)= cot 2avtλd
xλC(119)
Thus G is the inverse ratio between the superposition of de Br oglie and Compton
wavelengths4. This standing wave can be seen as potential barrier, which r esults
in the interaction of advanced and retarded potentials5. This action results in
the violation of the WEC, i.e. results in a false vacuum and We yl gravitation.
3This prescription of the Cosmological Constant as the Compt on wavelength λC, may have
bearing on modern cosmological theories. For example it has been proposed by recent obser-
vations from type IA supernova, there may be something causi ng the universe to accelerate
its expansion. Under this scenario, the Universe would be co asting from the initial ’big bang,’
however through a cosmological Compton scattering this effe ct would appear to increase, thus
giving the allusion of an ‘accelerating’ universe.
4The idea of a quantum connection to the Gravitational Consta nt and the Cosmological
constant is not new idea, and neither is a superposition rela tion see Ref.[21].
5An alternative to this interpretaion arises through Quantu m Mechanics, from SR an
electromagnetic field at k reading locally as electric may re ad as a magnetic field in the frame
k’. Through the action of the Weyl tensor the electric and mag netic terms may become
superimposed, thus initially one has a superposition of for mψ(x) =E(x) +H(x), which
doesn’t take on its SR form until the wave function has been ca nceled.
17From this we understand that a gravitational constant is an i nverse charge
of a particles Compton wavelength. Meaning that each partic le has its own
local isotropic gravitational field, which is induced by mas s and acceleration.
This also leads to a startling corollary under relativistic velocities the charge of
spacetime Q would be altered. In such a situation the Compton charge would
be altered by
L=mc2/radicalbigg
1−v2
c2−mΦc−qΦE+q/vector v/vectorA, (120)
causing an inverse relation in the G (the consequences of suc h an effect is briefly
mentioned in B). Since the electromagnetic force has an inve rse relationship
squared to infinity, thus is the gravitational field. Forces s uch as the Yang-Mills
field are confined within the Coloumb barrier, thus allowing t he gravitational
field at a first approximation to adopt the Newton’s Gravitati onal constant GN.
When compared to classical gravitation one has the field ∇ϕ= 4π[2avtλd
xλC]ρ.
From this a four-vector is required, thus gravitation is a ch arge in spacetime!
Through Ref. [15] we see our prior assumed equivalence with t he Compton
wavelength pops up again through the five-dimensional actio n:
Ψ(xµ, x5) = exp/bracketleftbigg
ik2π
λCx5/bracketrightbigg
ψ(xµ) (121)
where it is interpreted that the gravitational force arises through torsion. While
electromagnetism is derived through the fifth gauge-compon ent of the torsion
tensor (which has been shown to be false in previous sections ). This is a pseudo
complex interpretation produced by (119) and (67), thereby giving the allu-
sion to a ‘fifth-coordinate,’ through a superposition mecha nism.
8 discussion
This analysis of a gravitational background space reveals t he following sub-
tle quantum aspects of the gravitational field. The dual inte rpretation of a
causal trajectory in the Feynman school, is responsible for the appearance of
a pseudo ‘fifth coordinate.’ Thus causing true vacuum energy to translate into
false vacuum energy converting the potential virtual energ y into kinetic energy.
This results in torsion within the background space, which a cts to conserve the
negative energy created by the false vacuum. Torsion then ac ts to produce a
gravitational metric by means of a quantum charge, where by t heequivalence
principle thesecond law becomes valid for a classical body. Secondarly torsion
alters the de Broglie wavelength which causes electrostati c potentials to lower,
acting as a relativistic gravitational field.
This analysis showed the importance of the often neglected W eyl component
of Riemannian geometry. It is the antisymmetric Weyl tensor acting along with
an Einstein-Cartan geometry that is responsible for the gra vitational constant.
Specifically pertaining to an electrons Compton wavelength for long range grav-
itation. However, for field of varying charge one would expec t the gravitational
constant and the cosmological constants to accept different values, thus gravi-
tation in its true form would carry more than the background e lectromagnetic
vacuum, and gravitation would be expected to have ranges lim ited to there local
fields6.
6For example, nuclear fields do not correspond to the inverse s quare relationship 1 /r2, thus

A The Compton wavelength and ‘superluminal’
shifts
The relationship between the gravitational constant G, and the Compton wave-
length can be seen, when we except the value of G to be of order [ 5]:
G= (6.74215 ±0.000092) ×10−11m3kg−1s−2. (122)
We can now compare that to the Compton wavelength7of an electron given by
λC=h/mec= 2.426×10−12m. However from field density relationship shown
in (80), we are left with the crude relation λC= 2πG−1, we must consider the
quantized wave form:
h·λC
2π= 386.1592642(28) ×10−15m (123)
Thus the inverse of G is that of
2πG−1= 0.02361 =λC×10−1(124)
Such that it is seen that 2 πGis the inverse of the Compton wavelength. Accel-
eration will altered the ‘charge’ or Compton wavelength suc h that gravitational
constant(s) would be altered upon relativistic velocities . This could very well
explain the propagation of observed superluminal jets eman ating from Active
Galactic Nuclei (AGN).
Since classically electromagnetic waves propagate via the relationC=λν,
we expect a gravitational shift from
∆v≈vi(GaM)/parenleftbigg1
ri+1
rf/parenrightbigg
. (125)
thus when viewed parallel to the direction of travel one is le ft with a blue shift
by
C0/parenleftbigg
1 +Φg
c2/parenrightbigg
=λ0/parenleftbigg
ν0/parenleftbigg
1 +Φg
c2/parenrightbigg/parenrightbigg
. (126)
Where
Φg=−GQm0/radicalbig
x2+ (y2+z2)(1−v2/c2)(127)
the wavelength would appear to be altered by
Lλ=λ′/radicalbigg
1−v2
c2(128)
gravitation would be expected to behave fundamentally diffe rent here. Since the gravitational
force is one of a collective nature, all vacuum field sources s hould be included within such a
potential formalism.
7Data on the Compton wavelength comes from [18].
19this is because (126), makes it appear that the wavelength λis increasing while
it is really of function of C0andν0. This would appear to yield superluminal
travel, such a result is in accordance with [19]. This effect d oes not seem to be
limited to AGN either, a superluminal source was also detect ed near SN1987A,
see [20].
B origin for inertia and mass increase?
From the previous section we have seen that the gravitationa l constant could be
considered as the inverse of the Compton wavelength. From (1 26), we now may
consider an inverse of the quantum energy E=hvand the classical wavelength
C=λν:
λd=E
C0/parenleftig
1 +Φg
c2/parenrightig=hν0
λ/parenleftig
ν0/parenleftig
1 +Φg
c2/parenrightig/parenrightig→h
λ/parenleftig
νg/parenleftig
1 +Φg
c2/parenrightig/parenrightig≡I (129)
such that acceleration yields a mass increase through the de Borglie relation
p0/parenleftbigg
1 +Φg
c2/parenrightbigg
=mv0=λC/parenleftbigg
ν0/parenleftbigg
1 +Φg
c2/parenrightbigg/parenrightbigg
(130)
thus mass increase is governed by the action seen in (128). Th is is thus a
verification of the equivalence principle, i.e. inertial an d gravitational masses
are equivalent! From (129) we can now consider a Lagrangian o f form:
λ′
d=m0c2−qΦ′E
C0/parenleftig
1 +Φg
c2/parenrightig
=m0c2−q/parenleftbigg
ΦE
C0/parenleftbig
1+Φg
c2/parenrightbig−v·A/c/parenrightbigg
/radicalig
1−v2
c2(131)
this interpretation runs parallel with [12]. However, this work diverges with
equation (126), thus it is λwhich creates observable gravitational effects and
notν. With this in mind one can have an action of
∆S=m0c2
h/radicalbigg
1−v2
c2+λC
h/integraldisplay
Φgdt, (132)
therefore the appearance of inertia only appears for partic les with a correspond-
ing Compton wavelength through the action
∆S=λC
h/integraldisplay
(Φg−v·A/c). (133)
C gravitation within the QED vacuum
It is known that particles such as the proton have a value of λc=h/mpc=
1.321...×10−15m, for the Compton wavelength. Meaning that Gravitation is
not a force directed by one term, but all terms of vacuum. Thus it maybe seen
20that gravitation within an nucleus behaves quite differentl y than the Newtonian
prescription. We assume from elementary data that a ‘nuclea r’ gravitational
field would be confined to the nucleus, not manifesting its effe cts in the global
sense. However, for the early universe, one may have a spacet ime with quite
different cosmological constant(s) then the ones observed t oday, possibly giving
new justification for inflation theory. Lastly in comparison to Appendix A, a
beam of protons being accelerated from an AGN source would re sult in another
prediction. The proton/electron ‘acceleration’ rates, an d for any particle in
general is directly proportional to their Compton waveleng ths.
D implications for the planck length
It is believed that the planck length lp= (Gh/c3)1/2, is the fundamental cut off
point for the gravitational field. Two problems arise with th is work 1) the planck
length is determined by the Compton wavelength of the mass in question. 2) the
gravitational constant and thus the planck length are alter ed upon acceleration.
The first problem is not a problem it is simply a modification re quired by the
theory, and for the large scale universe this result is negli gible under a first
approximation. The second problem is still a problem, howev er in an earlier
work [7], I modified the planck length with disconcern. Howev er, with that
work in mind problem two is easily solved and is given by
lp= (GCh/mp0c3)1/2·ψ. (134)
WhereGCis the gravitational constant given by the Compton waveleng th, for
an electron this becomes Newton’s gravitational constant GN. Andmp0is the
rest momentum of the mass in question, which is given by
mp0=∓(pc/c−2). (135)
This definition is given by the relativistic wave equation E=±(pc+m0c2).
From (134) the gravitational constant can also be considere d in the form
GC=2πc3l2
p
h= 2πc3(G2
Ch/m2
p0c6)1/2= 2πGC1
2hc3
mp0c3= 2πGC1
2h
mp0(136)
With this we see a gravitational uncertainty through ∆ x∆p≥1
2Gh. Finally
after quantization of (136) we have a pure quantum charge, i. eGCh, thus grav-
itation carries the uncertainty of the Compton wavelength.

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to sketch a broader outline of the mat hematical struc-
tures present in the Nonlinear Maxwell Theory in continuati on of work previously
presented in [11], [12] and [13]. In particular, I display ne w types of both dynamic
and static solutions of the Nonlinear Maxwell Equations (NM ). I point out how
the resulting theory ties to the Quantum Mechanics of Correl ated Electrons inas-
much as it provides a mesoscopic description of phenomena li ke nonresistive charge
transport, static magnetic flux tubes, and charge stripes in a way consistent with
both the phenomenology and the microscopic principles. In a ddition, I point at a
bunch of geometric structures intrinsic for the theory. On o ne hand, the presence
of these structures indicates that the equations at hand can be used as ‘probing
tools’ for purely geometric exploration of low-dimensiona l manifolds. On the other
hand, global aspects of these structures are in my view prere quisite to incorporat-
ing (quantum) informational features of Correlated Electr on Systems within the
framework of the Nonlinear Maxwell Theory.
1 Introduction
The general goal of this paper is to examine broader ramificat ions of the Nonlinear
Maxwell Equations (NM) as introduced by me in 1992/93 and fur ther developed in [11],
[12], [13]. To this end, I first point out that the theory is con siderably richer than that
of the classical linear Electromagnetism. In particular, I describe here several distinct
types of both static and dynamic solutions on a spacetime of t he formM3×R. On
the technical side, I have essentially avoided heavier anal ysis as the solutions are either
obtained by means of elementary calculation, or are otherwi se based on deeper analytic
work described in [13]. One should be aware that the possibil ities opening in consequence
∗The author is currently with the Pegasus Imaging Corporatio n. This work is beyond the scope of his
obligations there and has been performed in his free time. No other institution has been helpful to the
author in conducting this research.
1of the introduction of these new structures have not been ful ly exploited in this paper,
thus postponing many potential developments into the futur e.
More precisely, in the ‘dynamic’ part of the paper I display a solution in the form of
a charge-carrying electromagnetic wave. It is a soliton typ e wave that transports charge
with constant speed and without resistance. In addition, on e notes existence of a specific
to dimension four nonlinear Fourier type transform—an inte resting structure whose role
within the theory is twofold. On one hand, it can be used to find and analyze new solutions
of the Nonlinear Maxwell Equations. On the other hand, the tr ansform defines an exotic
duality—a (quadratic) generalization of the (linear) Hodg e duality. Consequences of this
new duality for the four-geometry will be exploited in the fu ture.
The second set of results in this paper is focused around the q uestion of existence and
properties of static solutions. To this end, I first examine t he situation on the Euclidean
three-space. In particular, one takes note of the occurrenc e of global structures in the
form of magnetic flux tubes as well as the so-called charge str ipes. It is interesting from
the point of view of geometry that these objects exist in gene ral only on three-manifolds
whose fundamental group is not finite. This is tied to the geom etric fact that the nonlinear
gauge theory at hand induces an additional structure on M3—namely a taut codimension
one foliation. These global aspects of static solutions pro mpt an assumption of topological
point of view. Accordingly, I sketch the possibility of cons tructing ‘nonlinear cohomology’
that would account for a sort of ‘flux tube’ invariant of a thre e manifold. The discussion
here is based on two particular examples that I feel provide a n optimal illustration of the
underlying concept.
The Nonlinear Maxwell Equations, cf. (1-3) below, involve a vector potential that
encodes the electric and magnetic fields in the usual way as we ll as an additional scalar
f. The function fcontains information, extractable in a certain simple cano nical way,
about the local value of the filling factor (also known as the filling fraction). (The filling
factor is defined as the number of quanta of the magnetic field p er electron charge in the
first Landau level. It is then natural and effective to think of the electrons as forming
in conjunction with the corresponding magnetic flux quanta c omposite particles—either
bosons or fermions, or Laughlin particles depending on the a ctual value of the filling
factor.) It is thus postulated that the filling fraction—typ ically an input of a microscopic
theory that is always assumed constant microlocally—is all owed to slowly vary in the
coarser scale. In fact, it was shown in [13] that NM predict oc currence of phase changes
that lead to formation of vortices in f, anda fortiori in the magnetic field. This picture
conforms with the well known analogy between the Quantum Hal l Effects and the High-
TcSuperconductivity. An inquisitive reader might now point a t the following seeming
conundrum. The physical interpretation of fas a filling factor requires the presence of
two-dimensional geometric structures that endow us with a p ossibility of including the
lowest Landau level in the basic dictionary. Thus, it may app ear a priori puzzling, how we
are going to retain this interpretation of fin three or four spatial dimensions? The answer
is provided by the intrinsic structure of the NM themselves. On one hand, it is shown
below that the filling factor variable may be completely fact ored out of the equations when
viewed in the complete four dimensions of spacetime. Needle ss to say, if one attempted
to analyze such f-free form in two dimensions the fvariable would reemerge without
2change as it is there encoded in the magnetic field B=b/f,b= const. On the other
hand, one notes that a remnant or a generalization of the filli ng factor interpretation
carries over to three dimensions. Namely, the NM in three dim ensions imply existence
of a codimension one foliation of the three-space associate d with the static solutions.
Moreover, one notes here that the NM do not a priori introduce any restrictions as to
the type of the resulting foliation—in fact any regular foli ation and even foliations with
singularities introduced by degenerating leaves are admit ted by the equations. However,
as already mentioned above the existence of solutions of a sp ecial type, namely the flux-
tube type, implies geometrical restrictions on the foliati on and topological restrictions on
the three-manifold. Indeed, in this case foliation must be t aut. It also seems reasonable
to expect that the composite particle interpretation remai ns valid in this setting and the
number of participating electrons in each leaf is again dete rmined byf, virtually leading
to the notion of an effective Landau level.
In the last words of this section I would like to admit that, th e subject matter at hand
being both new and inherently interdisciplinary as well as b y way of my own background
and limitations, it is not always easy to pick the optimal ter minology. Realizing I will
unavoidably fail to satisfy in this respect one group of read ers or another, I can only ask
the readership to be as tolerant as they can afford and hope tha t in the end substance
will triumph over form.
2 Nonlinear Maxwell Equations in Spacetime
In what follows, in order to get around rather tedious algebr a while not compromising
our understanding of what is essentially involved, I presen t a shortcut style exposition of
the necessary calculations. I believe that readers who are w ell familiar with differential
geometry will find it easy to reinterpret this calculation in its natural invariant setting,
while those who are less familiar with the abstract setting m ay in fact appreciate its
absence here.
Consider the following system of equations—the Nonlinear M axwell Equations (NM)
in the form in which they have appeared in my previous papers.
dFA= 0 (1)
δ(fFA) = 0 (2)
✷f+a|FA|2f=νf. (3)
wherefis a real valued function and Ais the electromagnetic vector potential, so that
the corresponding electromagnetic field is FA=dA. Here,a >0 is a physical constant
with unit/bracketleftig
Tesla−2m−2/bracketrightig
; I will not discuss the precise physical interpretation of a2in this
paper. Further, dis the exterior derivative and δ=⋆d⋆its adjoint. Here, it is assumed
that the Hodge star ⋆and the D’Alembertian ✷are induced by the Lorentzian metric
tensor on a spacetime of 3 + 1 dimensions. Let me point out that assumingf= const
and dragging it to zero one recovers the classical Maxwell eq uations. In this sense, all
phenomena of the classical electromagnetism are included i n the present model.
3Now the goal is to better understand the essential ingredien ts of the NM in terms of the
classical field variables. To this end, let us say the spaceti me is in fact the flat Minkowski
space (with the speed of light 1) so that in particular one can identify coefficients of the
electric field /vectorEand the magnetic field /vectorBwith the coefficients of the curvature tensor FA
by the formula
FA=B1dy∧dz+B2dz∧dx+B3dx∧dy+E1dx∧dt+E2dy∧dt+E3dz∧dt.(4)
For the sake of our discussion below it is good to keep in mind t he well known fact that
the components of FAare not Lorentz invariant. This property leads one to the der ivation
of the Lorentz force, so that the latter one is logically inde pendent of the particular form
of a gauge theory formulated in terms of FA. In other words, the Lorentz force remains
unchanged and valid as one attempts to modify the field equati ons. With this understood,
let us continue the discussion of equations (1-3).
It would be rather straightforward to rewrite equations (1- 3) in the anticipated Maxwellian
form by following the usual procedures for translating (2) i nto the ´Ampere and Gauss laws
after having replaced /vectorEbyf/vectorEand/vectorBbyf/vectorB. In fact, this would lead to an ad hoc inter-
pretation of fas a material constant—a route taken in our older, one might s aynaive,
paper [11]. However, this form of the system offers little ins ight as to the more essential
implications of the NM, and one needs to find a less obvious ref ormulation.
One notes that equation (2) may be equivalently written in th e form
fδF A=FA(∇3+1f,.) (5)
where ∇3+1stands for the gradient in spacetime. For a reason that will b ecome clear
later, one identifies FAwith a skew-symmetric matrix in a standard way
F=
0−B3B2−E1
B3 0−B1−E2
−B2B1 0−E3
E1E2E3 0
.
It is important to note that by the miraculous property of ske w-symmetric matrices in
four dimensions, det F=/vectorE·/vectorBand
F−1=1
/vectorE·/vectorB
0E3−E2B1
−E3 0E1B2

/vectorE·/vectorBˆF.
(I emphasize that ˆFis not the matrix corresponding to the Hodge-dual of FAin the given
metric with signature (+ + + −).) On the other hand, representing both the 1-forms and
vectors as columns so that in particular
∇3+1f=

andδFA=

E2,t+B3,x−B1,z
E3,t+B1,y−B2,x
E1,x+E2,y+E3,z
,
4one checks directly that
FA(∇3+1f,.) =F∇3+1f.
This enables us to rewrite equation (5) in the form
F−1δFA=∇3+1ln(f). (6)
It is perhaps worthwhile to realize that in this context Fis a fiberwise-linear mapping from
the tangent bundle to the cotangent bundle. Here one assumes f >0 a.e. This conforms
with the principle that one will be consistently looking for strong solutions so that in
particularfmay always be replaced with |f|in (1-3). Next one recalls that on one hand
the first part of the NM (1) is identical with the analogous par t of the classical Maxwell
equations and it encodes the Faraday’s law of magnetic induc tion and the fact that there
are no spatially extensive magnetic charges. This gives the first four (scalar) equations
below, namely (7) and (8). On the other hand, by direct multip lication and regrouping in
(6), one obtains four further scalar equations that happen t o radically modify the ´Ampere
law. Written in the familiar three-space vector notation, t he NM assume the form
∂/vectorB
∂t+∇ ×/vectorE= 0 (7)

will be discussed below. As much as one should avoid indulgin g in formal manipulations
of formulas, here the advantage of having the equations rewr itten in several equivalent
forms is that they all lead to the discovery of new types of sol utions, the existence of
which would be otherwise obscured by notation. This will bec ome more evident in the
following sections.
As already mentioned in the introduction, I postulate the fo llowing physical interpre-
tation:fis the spatially varying filling factor—a notion central to t he modern composite-
particle theories. In fact, the canonical microscopic-the ory interpretation of the filling
factor is valid in two spatial dimensions only, in which case it signifies the ratio of the
number of quanta of the ambient magnetic field to the number of electrons in the first
Landau level, cf. [7], [17]. Moreover, the microscopic theo ry offers no hints as to the
existence and relevance of an analogous notion in the three- space. A description of the
5interaction of the electromagnetic field with fermions in th e first Landau level provided
by the equations above is valid in the mesoscopic scale. Here , as one ‘zooms out’ from the
microscopic scale, the filling factor is neither a rational n umber nor is it a constant any-
more. In fact, as it has been communicated in previous papers the spatially varying filling
factor may assume the form of a vortex lattice, cf. [13]. For t he time being, this point of
view is validated by the well known analogy between the Quant um Hall Effect and the
High Temperature Superconductivity and it awaits experime ntal confirmation. Moreover,
the NM extend the notion of the filling factor to three spatial dimensions. However, as
we will see below, the presence of the filling factor introduc es an especially interesting
modification of the laws of Electromagnetism only if the thre e-space comes equipped with
a codimension one foliation. This latter fact makes it possi ble to talk about Landau levels
in a certain sense, anyhow. Finally, fcan be completely eliminated from the NM in 3+1
dimensions. (In general, this requires that the first cohomo logy group of the spacetime
vanishes.) In that case the NM can be written in the f-free form
dFA= 0
d/parenleftig
F−1δFA/parenrightig#= 0 (12)
δ/parenleftig
F−1δFA/parenrightig#−/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleF−1δFA/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle2+a|FA|2−ν= 0, (13)
where # is the isomorphism of the tangent and the cotangent bu ndles given by the metric.
Indeed, under the assumption of vanishing first de-Rham coho mology, equation (6) is
equivalent to its integrability condition (12). Moreover, since the last scalar equation of
the system can be written in terms of dlnfin the form
δdlnf− |dlnf|2+a|FA|2−ν= 0,
equation (6) also implies (13). Computation of the symbol sh ows that the system obtained
in this way is non-hyperbolic—in fact its degeneracy is of hi gher order. Thus, this form
of the NM appears impractical for any mathematical work, and an introduction of the
dimensionless scalar fis necessary also from the point of view of analysis. Neverth eless,
as indicated in the Introduction and the discussion above, p hysical implications of the
existence of an f-free form of the NM are important.
3 Geometry Behind the Equations
The geometrical arena of the Maxwell equations consists of a spacetime, say N, and a
principalU(1)-bundle, say P, stack up above N. In addition, it seems any description
of the interaction of the electromagnetic field with fermion s requires, at least within this
framework, a principal connection, i.e. a smooth (at least a .e.) distribution of horizontal
planes that is invariant with respect to the circle action. T his distribution can be written
as kerA= kerfAforf/negationslash= 0. In addition, if U(1) is to remain the elemental symmetry
group of Electromagnetism, then fmust be constant along the fibers so that it effectively
6descends to a function on N. In particular, within this dictionary one can construct a
Kaluza-Klein metric on P, which is given by
µA(X,Y) =g(π∗X,π ∗Y) +aA(X)A(Y),
where the unit of a >0 must be/bracketleftig
Tesla−2meter−2/bracketrightig
if the unit of length on Pis to be
[meter] and the unit of FA=dAis to remain, say, [Tesla]. Let us say the corresponding
Laplace-Beltrami operator on forms is then △µA=△A. Calculation shows that the
condition
△A(fA) =νfA
is equivalent to the system of equations (1–3), cf. [11].
4 Exotic Duality
For the sake of discussion in this section, consider the NM on either a Lorentzian or a
Riemannian four-manifold as the metric signature plays a se condary role. In particular,
it is preferable to replace the ✷-notation with the △-notation. Assume for the sake of
simplicity that the second cohomology group of the manifold is trivial. Omitting the
constanta, write the system one more time in the form
δ(fdA) = 0 (14)
− △f+|dA|2f=νf. (15)
Since (14) implies d(f ⋆dA ) = 0, one has f ⋆dA =d˜Aso that
dA=±1/f ⋆d ˜A (16)
and the new form ˜Asatisfies a dualsystem of equations
δ(1
fd˜A) = 0 (17)
− △f+|d˜A|21
f=νf. (18)
This is a functional transform reminiscent of the Fourier or the Backlund transforms,
notwithstanding the fact that all transforms are somewhat r eminiscent of one another.
In particular, the resulting dualistic perspective has the expected property that trivial
solutions of one of the systems lead to more complex solution s of the dual system. To
illustrate the idea, let me now present a few examples of dual solutions on R4with either
the Euclidean or the Minkowski metric as specified in the disc ussion.
Example 1. Let the metric be Euclidean and take dA=Edz∧dt,E= const, and
f=f(x,y). Equation (14) is automatically satisfied and (15) assumes the form −fxx−
fyy= (ν−E2)fso thatf= cos (k1x+k2y+α) fork2
1+k2
2=ν−E2solves the problem.
Nowd˜A=±f(x,y)dx∧dyand it staisfies equations (17-18).
7Example 2. Departing for a while from the assumption of vanishing secon d cohomology,
let us reinterpret the previous example on a four-torus assu ming periodicity of coordinates
(x,y,z,t ) with period 2 π. Note that the first bundle is necessarily nontrivial as the
cohomology class [ dA]/negationslash= 0. Let us allow the function fdrop its dependence on yso that,
say,f= cosx, provided the ‘right choice’ of νhas been made. Now, d˜A=d(sinxdy) is
an exact form so the second bundle is topologically trivial.
Example 3. ConsiderdA=Bdx∧dyandf=f(z,t) so that (14) is satisfied. Let us
now look at the metric with signature (+++ −) so that (15) means ftt−fzz= (ν−B2)f.
The general solution of this equation is a standing wave with variable amplitude. This
pattern is inherited by d˜A=f(z,t)dz∧dt(up to the sign again) which satisfies (17-18).
Example 4. Let us for a change begin on the other side and take, say, d˜A=edz∧dtand
f=f(x,y). Again, the first equation (14) is automatically satisfied w hile (15) becomes
−fxx−fyy+e2/f=νf. As explained in [13] (see also remarks at the end of section 6
below) apart from the trivial constant solution, this probl em also has a solution in the
form of a vortex lattice. In the latter case dA=f(x,y)dx∧dysatisfies (14-15) and
represents static magnetic flux tubes.
I emphasize that only the vector potential Aand the filling fraction variable fthat
appear in the first set of equations have physical interpreta tion. Reassuringly, the presence
of a nontrivial fin examples 1and3did not contribute anything unexpectedly strange
to the constant electric and magnetic fields in these example s, while it ‘introduced’ flux
tubes in example 4. Although one could consider similar interpretation of the transformed
vector potential ˜A, just as one can for any U(1)-connection, I feel this is uncalled for and
would probably be unjustifiable at this point. Nevertheless , the existence of the transform
is a remarkable fact whose possible applications to four-ma nifolds will be explored more
thoroughly in the future. In a way, this new duality is a gener alization of the regular
Hodge-star duality that may be compared to the projective ge neralization of the Euclidean
reflection. This analogy may be justified in the following way . Projective duality is induced
by a fixed quadratic form. What is the NM analog of that object? Introduce notation
ϕ= lnf. A direct calculation shows that (14-15) may be written in th e form of a system
of quadratic equations
δdA+⋆(dϕ∧⋆dA) = 0 (19)
− △ϕ− |dϕ|2+|dA|2−ν= 0. (20)
This form of the equation has one other advantage. Suppose on e has found a solution
(A,ϕ) of (19-20). One can now use gauge invariance of the equation s in the following way.
Letχbe a solution of the equation
δdχ=−δA.
The existence of a solution χfollows from the Fredholm alternative when the metric is
positive definite, and it amounts to solving a linear wave equ ation in a Lorentzian metric.
One can now replace AwithA+dχ(and denote the resulting form by Aagain). In the
new gauge δA= 0, so that Ain fact satisfies
△A+⋆(dϕ∧⋆dA) = 0. (21)
8The system that consists of (21) and (20) is either quasiline ar elliptic or hyperbolic,
depending on the metric. Solving the latter system may not be helpful at all in finding
solutions of the original (19-20), since one cannot guarant ee that a solution satisfies the
Lorentz gauge condition δA= 0. However, solutions of (19-20) a fortiori satisfy (21) and
(20) so that in particular they will obey all a priori estimat es on the solutions of, say,
quasilinear hyperbolic systems. In particular, this point of view may justify the claim
that the phenomena described in this paper shed some light on the complex nature of
quasilinear systems of PDE of certain types in general.
5 Charge Transport and Charge Stripes
I will now take full advantage of the (7-11) form of the NM. In a nalogy to the electromag-
netic wave in vacuum, that one recalls is counted among the so lutions of this system, one
wants to look for a solution with /vectorE·/vectorB= 0. In the end I will check that the new solution
of (7-11) in fact satisfies (1-3) which is not a priori guarant ied. Make an Ansatz
/vectorB=B1∂
∂x+B2∂
∂y,/vectorE=e/parenleftigg
−B2∂
∂x+B1∂
∂y/parenrightigg
, (22)
wheree,B1andB2are a priori functions of ( x,y,z,t ) that are smooth a.e. and neither
one of them vanishes identically. As an immediate consequen ce, one obtains that (7) and
(8) are equivalent to
B1,t= (eB1),z (23)
B2,t= (eB2),z (24)
(eB1),x+ (eB2),y= 0 (25)
B1,x+B2,y= 0 (26)
which implies
e,xB1+e,yB2= 0. (27)
On the other hand, (9) and (10) are equivalent to
(B2,x−B1,y)eB1= (eB2),xB1−(eB1),yB1 (28)
(B2,x−B1,y)eB2= (eB2),xB2−(eB1),yB2 (29)
(−(eB2),t+B2,z)B1+ ((eB1),t−B1,z)B2= 0. (30)
Equations (23), (24) and (30) imply that eis in fact constant
e=±1. (31)
Using (23) and (24) again, one obtains
B1=B1(x,y,t +ez), B 2=B2(x,y,t +ez).
9In particular, /vectorBand/vectorEare not compactly supported. At this point, the only conditi on
left a priori unfulfilled is the vanishing divergence condit ion. Thus, all equations (23-30)
above are satisfied iff there is a function ψ=ψ(x,y,t +ez) such that
B1=−ψy(x,y,t +ez), B 2=ψx(x,y,t +ez). (32)
Defining the electric and magnetic fields by (22) with e=±1 , so that in particular
|/vectorE|=|/vectorB|, and choosing fthat satisfies the linear wave equation (11), one obtains a
solution of (7-11) .
However, physical solutions must in addition satisfy the a priori more restrictive sys-
tem (1-3). Consider FAas given in (4). Equation (1) is satisfied automatically sinc e it is
equivalent to (7-8). On the other hand, (2) becomes
(fB2),x−(fB1),y= 0 (33)
(feB 2),t−(fB2),z= 0 (34)
−(feB 1),t+ (fB1),z= 0 (35)
−(fB1),y+ (fB2),x= 0 (36)
Now, (34) and (35) imply via (32) that
f=f(x,y,t +ez).
In particular, f,tt−f,zz= 0. Thus, (1-3) has been reduced to the following system of tw o
equations:
−f,xx−f,yy=νf (37)
(fψ,x),x+ (fψ,y),y= 0. (38)
The first equation above admits three types of classical solu tions. Namely,
f=
A(t+ez) ln (x2+y2) ν= 0
A(t+ez) cos (k1x+k2y+α(t+ez))ν=k2
1+k2
2
A(t+ez) exp (k1x+k2y) ν=−k2
1−k2
2.(39)
Observe that each solution effectively depends on one harmon ic variable in the ( x,y)-
domain—either, u=k1x+k2yoru= lnr2= ln (x2+y2). Thus, equation (38) is satisfied
if
ψu=C(t+ez)/f(u,t+ez),
for an arbitrary function Cof one variable. Therefore, in view of (32) one obtains three
types of solutions (redefining C)
[B1,B2] =
C(t+ez)/(r2lnr2)[−y,x]
C(t+ez) sec (k1x+k2y+α)[−k2,k1]
C(t+ez) exp (−k1x−k2y)[−k2,k1](40)
in correspondence with (39). Since one is looking for strong solutions, one has the freedom
to cut off pieces of the classical solutions (by restricting t he domain) and to put them
10back together. In this way, one obtains solutions that are ei ther continuous or have
jump discontinuities but may be guarantied to remain bounde d. Last but not least,
it is physically correct to interpret the divergence of the e lectric field as charge ρand
−∂
∂t/vectorE+∇ ×/vectorBas the electric current. One checks that for solutions as abo ve the (x,y)-
component of current vanishes while the z-component jis equal to −eρ. More precisely,
one obtains that piecewise
eρ=−j=
4C(t+ez)/(r2ln2r2)
νC(t+ez) sec (k1x+k2y+α)tan(k1x+k2y+α)
−νC(t+ez) exp (−k1x−k2y)(41)
in correspondence with (39) and (40). In addition to the piec ewise smooth distribution of
charge, one should include charge concentrated on singular surfaces where the electric field
has jump discontinuities as indicated by the distributiona l derivative ∇ ·/vectorE. Therefore,
charge is transported along the z-axis with the speed e=±1 and without resistance as
the vector of current is perpendicular to the electric field. Charge is mostly concentrated
along charge stripes where the electric and magnetic fields have singularities. T he net
current depends on the particular choice of a (strong) solut ion. Of course, the theory
does not tell us how to solve the practical problem of electro nics—namely, how to create
conditions for a particular function C=C(t+ez), constant νand a desired mosaic of
singularities to actually occur in a physical system.
6 Static Solutions and Magnetic Flux Tubes
The classical Maxwell equations admit static solutions of t wo types only: the uniform field
solutions, and the unit charge or monolpole-type solutions , as well as superpositions of
these fundamental types of solutions. As we will see below, t he nonlinear theory encom-
passes a larger realm including the magnetic-flux-tube type and the charge-stripe type
solutions. These additional configurations require nonlin earity and cannot be superposed,
which gives them more rigidity. In the next section we will se e what can be said about the
variety of such solutions, while in this section I will only d isplay a single example of this
type. Apart from the applicable goal, the idea is to present a n example that possesses all
the essential features of the general class of solutions yet the required calculation is free
of more subtle geometric technicalities.
Time-independent solutions of the NM posses physical inter pretation only if they
satisfy the equations in the classical sense almost everywh ere. Assuming that all fields
are independent of time (7-11) takes on the form
∇ ×/vectorE= 0 (42)
∇ ·/vectorB= 0 (43)
−(∇ ×/vectorB)×/vectorE+ (∇ ·/vectorE)/vectorB=−(/vectorE·/vectorB)∇lnf (44)
(∇ ×/vectorB)·/vectorB= 0 (45)
11− △f+a(|/vectorB|2− |/vectorE|2)f=νf, (46)
under the assuption that /vectorE·/vectorB/negationslash= 0 a.e. Adopt an Ansatz that the integral surfaces of the
planes perpendicular to the field /vectorBare flat, say,
/vectorB=b(x,y)∂
∂z.
One easily checks that equations (43) and (45) are satisfied. Assume in addition that the
electric field is potential, i.e.
/vectorE=∇ψ(x,y,z ),whereψz/negationslash= 0 a.e.
so that (42) is satisfied. Remembering notation ϕ= lnf, one calculates directly that
(∇ ×/vectorB)×/vectorE=−ψzbx∂
∂x−ψzby∂
∂y+ (ψxbx+ψyby)∂
∂z,
while
(∇ ·/vectorE)/vectorB=△ψb∂
∂z,
and
(/vectorE·/vectorB)∇ϕ.
Thus, equation (44) is equivalent to the following system of three equations
ψz(bϕx+bx) = 0
ψz(bϕy+by) = 0
b△ψ−ψxbx−ψyby−bψzϕz= 0
and sinceψz/negationslash= 0 one obtains from the first two equations
ϕ(x,y,z ) =ϕ1(x,y) +ϕ2(z) andb=βexp (−ϕ1),
while the third equation assumes the form
△ψ+∇ψ· ∇ϕ= 0 (47)
At this point the NM have been reduced to the system of just two scalar equations (46)
and (47). Denote f1= expϕ1andf2= expϕ2and assume in addition
ψ=ψ(z)
so that
ψ′(z) =ǫexp (−ϕ2) =ǫ
f2
It now follows from (46) and (47) that the triplet
/vectorB=β
f1(x,y)∂
∂z,/vectorE=ε
f2(z)∂
∂z, (48)
12and
f(x,y,z ) =f1(x,y)f2(z) (49)
is a solution of the NM if only f1andf2satisfy a decoupled system of semi-linear elliptic
equations
−f′′
2(z)−ε2
f2(z)=ν2f2(z) (50)
− △f1(x,y) +β2
f1(x,y)=ν1f1(x,y). (51)
At this point, I would like to emphasize one more time that in a field theory one
looks for strong solutions, i.e. solutions that satisfy equations in the cla ssical sense almost
everywhere. Typically, such solutions are smooth except fo r singularities supported on
a union of closed submanifolds. Furthermore, geometricall y invariant derivatives of the
resulting fields in the distributional sense signify charge s. With this understood, let us
briefly turn attention to equation (50). One wants to avoid ho lding the reader hostage
to the formal analysis of this elementary equation which mig ht be somewhat distracting.
Thus, I have chosen to briefly describe the solutions qualita tively leaving aside technical
details that can be easily reconstructed aside by the reader . First, one notes that if
ν2>0 then a solution is concave, while for ν2<0 it will be convex for large values where
f2
2>−ε2/ν2. Assuming formally that f2is a function of f′
2(piecewise), one reduces (50)
to the first order equation
df2
dz=±/radicalig
c−ν2f2
2−ε2lnf2
2.
Thus, there are essentially two types of positive solutions , depending on the actual values
of constants c,ε,ν 2. The first type includes solutions that assume value 0 at a cer tain
pointz0and increase monotonously to infinity as z→ ∞ as well as the symmetric
solutions defined between −∞and some point, say z0again, where they reach 0. These
solutions require ν2<0 and they asymptotically look like exp ( ±(−ν2)1/2z) One can use
both branches in order to put together a strong solution that forms a cusp or a jump
discontinuity at z0. The second type consists of solutions that are concave, ris e to the
highest peak at f2=m, whenc−ν2f2
2−ε2lnf2
2= 0, and fall off to 0 on both sides in
finite time while being differentiable in-between. Selectin g the constants and combining
both types of solutions piecewise segment-by-segment one o btains strong solutions f2that
in turn provide electric fields according to formula (48).
Since, with the exception of the trivial constant solution, there are no global smooth
solutions, one concludes that either /vectorEis constant or there exist charge stripes located at
planesz= const where f2(z) has singularities. The distributional derivative is in ea ch
case equal to the Dirac measure concentrated at z= const as above and scaled by the size
of the jump, and classical derivatives on both sides of the si ngularity. Even in absence
of a jump, the charge will switch from negative to positive th us forming what can be
amenably called a charge-stripe. An example of this is shown inFig.1.
It is much more difficult to figure out solutions of the second eq uation. I refer the
reader to [13] for a more thorough analysis, while here I will just briefly summarize my
13previous findings. Solutions of equation (51) correspond to critical points of the functional
L(f1) =1
2/integraltext|∇f1|2+β2/integraltextln(f1)
/integraltextf2
1
which is neither bounded below nor above, so that one is looki ng at the problem of ex-
istence of localextrema. The equation always admits a trivial constant solu tion. But, as
it is shown in [13], it also possesses nontrivial vortex latt ice solutions. More precisely, if
βis larger than a certain critical value then there is a noncon stant doubly periodic func-
tionfwhich satisfies the finite difference version of (51) everywhe re except at a periodic
lattice of isolated points, one point per each cell. In this w ay, a lattice of flux tubes,
cf.Fig.2, emerges as a solution of the NM. For the time being, the proof of this fact
relies on finite-dimensionality essentially, and does not a dmit a direct generalization to
the continuous-domain case. However, physical parameters , like/integraltextf2andβ, are asymp-
totically independent of the density of discretization. Th us, I conjecture existence of the
continuous domain solutions that satisfy the equation a.e. in the classical sense and re-
tain the particular vortex morphology. Presently, the esse ntial obstacle to proving this
conjecture is lack of a regularity theory for the discrete vo rtex solutions. The proof in [13]
is carried out in the (discretized) torus setting. One belie ves that vortex type solutions
exist on any closed (orientable) surface.
7 Topological Quantum Numbers
Every gauge theory comes equipped with an associated set of t opological invariants—
usually characteristic classes of the bundles used to intro duce the gauge field. Articles [4],
[5], [6] teach us how such topological invariants may be mani fested in an electronic system
as observable quantum numbers. The Nonlinear Maxwell Theor y is naturally equipped
with two kinds of topological invariants. On one hand, one ha s the first Chern class of the
originalU(1)-bundle. Additionally, we will see below that in the case of static solutions
the NM give us an additional set of invariants defined directl y by the foliated structure
of the underlying three-manifold. (In the discussion below , I generally assume for the
sake of simplicity that Mis a closed orientable manifold unless stated otherwise.) I n
this section I will make an effort only to identify rather than exploit to the fullest the
geometric and topological ramifications of this nonlinear t heory of Electromagnetism. To
gain some initial impetus, let us be guided by the following q uestion
What are the necessary and sufficient conditions on a Riemanni an three-
manifoldMfor the NM to admit a separation of variables of the type
seen in the previous section, i.e. for the equation (51) to de couple so that
its solutions will generate magnetic-flux-tube type soluti ons onM?
A question of this type is typical in algebraic topology wher e one is asking about global
obstructions to the presence of certain algebraic factoriz ation properties of analytic ob-
jects, like linear differential equations as it is the case fo r, say, the de-Rham cohomology
groups. In our case, the equations are nonlinear, but the pri nciple remains the same. The
14importance of these questions for practical issues of Elect romagnetism is twofold. First,
one wants to know how big is the set of possible configurations —especially in the absence
of the superposition principle. Secondly, I believe the top ological invariants displayed
below are directly on target in an effort to explain and descri be the nature of certain rigid
structures, like the Quantum Hall Effects, that physically o ccur in electronic systems.
First, it needs to be emphasized that the static field equatio ns I want to consider,
i.e. the equations that descend from the four-dimensional s pacetime via time-freezing
coefficients, are distinct from the equations (1-3) consider ed directly on a three manifold.
Secondly, the equations (42-46) are only valid on a Euclidea n space. The geometry behind
these equations is easier to identify when they are rewritte n in an invariant form that can
be considered on any three-manifold in a coordinate indepen dent setting.
Fix a Riemannian metric on Mwith scalar product < .,. > extended to include
measuring differential forms. Denote by BandEthe forms dual to the magnetic and
electric field vectors; recall notation ϕ= lnfand puta= 1. The static NM assume the
form
dE= 0 (52)
δB= 0 (53)
⋆(⋆dB∧E) + (δE)B=−<E,B >dϕ (54)
dB∧B= 0 (55)
△ϕ+|dϕ|2+|E|2− |B|2+ν= 0. (56)
Equation (55) is the familiar Frobenious condition on integ rability of the distribution of
planes given by ker B. One always assumes Bis nonsingular a.e. so that the distribution
isa priori also defined a.e. For convenience, it is assumed throughout t his section that
the foliation determined by ker Bis smooth. (It is quite clear that for the flux-tube type
solutions the distribution extends through the singular po ints and is defined everywhere.
At this stage, however, it is hard to make a formal argument to this effect, hence the a
priori assumption.) The condition of smoothness implies that the t hree-manifold Mmust
have vanishing Euler characteristic. In particular, singu lar foliations, some of which may
be associated with other types of solutions of the NM, are exc luded from the discussion
below.
It follows that there is a 1-form α, known as the Godbillon-Vey form, such that
dB=α∧B.
This form is not defined uniquely. However, as is well known, d(α∧dα) = 0 and the
Godbillon-Vey (GV) cohomology class
[α∧dα]H3(M)
is uniquely defined. On a three manifold this class can be eval uated by integration result-
ing in a Godbillon-Vey number
Q=/integraldisplay
Mα∧dα.
15This invariant poses many interesting questions that have n ot been fully resolved by
geometers yet. Below, I will justify two observations. Firs t, the condition of existence
of the magnetic flux-tube solutions imposes both local and gl obal restrictions on the
foliation. Second, magnetic flux-tube solutions exist in to pologically nontrivial situations
with nonzero GV-number Q. This is formally summarized in the two propositions that
follow. They are far from the most general statements that ca n be anticipated in this
direction, but are also nontrivial enough to suggest a conje cture regarding quantization
of the GV-number that I will formulate following Propositio n 1.
Consider a priori a foliation given by ker Blocally. First, one introduces a local
coordinate patch ( x,y,z ) such that the foliation is given by the ( x,y)-planes and |dz|= 1.
In particular
B=β(x,y,z )dz.
Letγ=g(x,y,z )dx∧dydenote the volume element on a leaf. One has ⋆B=β(x,y,z )γ.
Equation (53) becomes d(β(x,y,z )g(x,y,z )dx∧dy) = 0. Thus, there is a function χ=
χ(x,y) such that
β(x,y,z ) =χ(x,y)
g(x,y,z ).
A calculation analogous to that in the previous section show s that the whole system
(53-56) is reduced to
/parenleftigg
lnχ(x,y)
g(x,y,z )/parenrightigg
x=−ϕx,/parenleftigg
lnχ(x,y)
g(x,y,z )/parenrightigg
y=−ϕy (57)

△ϕ+|dϕ|2+|E|2−/parenleftiggχ(x,y)
g(x,y,z )/parenrightigg2
+ν= 0. (59)
Observe that in order to obtain factorization
ϕ(x,y,z ) =ϕ1(x,y) +ϕ2(z) (60)
it is necessary and sufficient that
g=g(x,y), (61)
i.e. a priori dependence of gonzis dropped. If that holds, the equations (58) and (59) can
be decoupled with an additional Ansatz E=e(z)dz. One also has that χ/g=bexp (−ϕ1)
for a constant band
△x,yϕ1+|dϕ1|2−b2exp (−2ϕ1) +ν= 0. (62)
Conversely, if (62) and (60) hold, then so must (61) and the me an curvature hof a leaf
vanishes. Indeed, by definition
h=δ/parenleftigg1
|B|B/parenrightigg
=−⋆d(g(x,y)dx∧dy) = 0.
This implies
16Proposition 1 For the existence of flux-tube type solutions—in the sense of existence of
factorization (60) and decoupling of equation (62)—it is ne cessary that the foliation given
bykerBbe taut, i.e. the mean curvature of leaves must vanish. In par ticularπ1(M)must
be infinite.
Proof. The first part has been shown above. The second part follows fr om a result of D.
Sullivan [14] that he deduced from the result of Novikov on th e existence of a closed leaf
that is a torus (cf. [8], and [16] for additional general mate rial and references). ✷
In particular, there are no flux-tube type solutions of the NM that would conform
with the Reeb foliation [9]. This is a practical issue since t he Reeb foliation exists on
a solid torus, so that in principle it might be observed exper imentally which would be
inconsistent with the theory at hand. This fact is also inter esting for another reason.
Namely, according to the celebrated theorem by Thurston in [ 15] each real number may
be realized as the Godbillon-Vey number for a certain codime nsion one foliation on the
three-sphere S3. The known proof of this result uses the Reeb foliation in an e ssential
way. I do not know if this fact is canonical, i.e. if the presen ce of the Reeb foliation
is necessary for the result to hold, but if it turns out to be so then excluding the Reeb
foliation from the game should result in a reduction of the ra nge of the G-V number,
possibly to a discrete subset of the real line. In such a case, the resulting set of the
G-V numbers accompanying flux-tube type solutions of the NM w ould also be discrete.
This is consistent with my expectation that these invariant s must be related with (both
the integer and the fractional) Quantum Hall Effects. Future research should bring a
resolution of this problem.
Another observation is that the factorization given by (60) and (62) does exist in
topologically nontrivial situations. More precisely, I wa nt to consider solutions of the
NM onPSL(2,R) and its compact factors. These three-manifolds are equipp ed with
interesting codimension one foliations known as the Roussa rie foliation [10]. Let the Lie
algebra sl(2,R) be given by
[X,Y+] =Y+,[X,Y−] =−Y−,[Y+,Y−] = 2X.
Pick a metric on PSL(2,R) in which the corresponding left-invariant vector fields X,Y+,
andY−are orthonormal and let µ,ν+, andν−be the corresponding dual 1-forms. One
checks directly that
dν−=µ∧ν−.
so that the distribution ker ν−is integrable and µis the GV-form of the resulting fo-
liation. In particular, one can introduce local coordinate s (x,y,z ) such that ∂x=X,
∂y=Y+,∂z=Y−. This foliation descends to compact factors of PSL(2,R) that can
each be identified with T1Mg—the total space of the unit tangent bundle of the hyper-
bolic Riemann surface of genus gthat depends on our choice of the co-compact subgroup
acting onPSL(2,R) by isometries. Moreover, the GV-integrand µ∧dµis proportional
to the natural volume form on the three-manifold. As a result of this, the corresponding
GV-numbers
Q=/integraldisplay
T1Mgµ∧dµ=−2Vol(Mg)
17assume values in a discrete set. I want to look for solutions o f the NM that satisfy the
Ansatz
B=βν−. (63)
In particular, (the Frobenious) equation (55) is satisfied a utomatically. Moreover, since
⋆dB= (Y−β)µ∧ν+∧ν−, equation (53) implies
β=β(x,y). (64)
As before, one checks that (54) implies (58) as well as Xϕ=−XlnβandY+ϕ=
−Y+lnβ. In consequence, one again has (60) and assuming E=e(z)ν−as before one
obtains (62). In consequence, the following holds true.
Proposition 2 The Roussarie folitions on PSL(2,R)and its compact factors satisfy the
factorization condition for the existence of magnetic flux- tube type solutions in the sense
that the tangent distribution can be expressed as kerBa.e. and one can reduce the NM
to the form (60-62).
In a similar way one can obtain factorization (60) and (62) fo r other foliations, like the
natural foliation on say S2×S1.
8 More on the Physical Framework of the NM
It is natural to ask if the NM descend from a Lagrangian functi onal depending on the
two variables Aandf, say Φ(A,f), via the Euler-Lagrange calculus of variations. The
answer is negative as one can easily see considering that in g eneral a gradient must pass
the second derivative test:
δ2
δAδfΦ =δ2
δfδAΦ
—a condition that cannot be satisfied by the expressions in (1 -3) viewed as the gradient,
say (δ
δAΦ,δ
δfΦ), of an unknown functional Φ. This suggests that the NM may c onstitute
just a part of a broader theory that would encompass addition al physical fields. In other
words, the equations (1-3) would have to be coupled to some ot her equations via additional
fields. In addition, such coupling would have to induce only a very small perturbation of
the present picture that one believes is essentially accura te. Such possibilities may become
more accessible in the future. Among other, perhaps related goals is that of deriving the
NM equation directly from the microscopic principles.
The well-known analogy between the Quantum Hall Effects and H igh-TcSupercon-
ductivity suggests that there should exist vortex lattices involving the so-called filling
factor (microlocally a constant scalar) that plays a major role in t he description of Com-
posite Particles . The NM describe exactly this type of a vortex-lattice. Simu lation and
theory show that this system conforms with the experimental ly observed physical facts.
It stretches the domain of applicability of the Maxwell theo ry to encompass phenom-
ena such as the Magnetic Oscillations ,Magnetic Vortices ,Charge Stripes that occur in
low-temperature electronic systems exposed to high magnet ic fields.
18There are other systems of PDE that admit vortex-lattice sol utions and are conceptu-
ally connected with Electromagnetism, like the well known G inzburg-Landau equations
valid within the framework of low Tctype-II superconductivity, or the Chern-Simons ex-
tension of these equations which, some researchers have sug gested, may be more relevant
to the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect and/or High- TcSuperconductivity, cf. [18]. The
free variables of these equations are the so-called order parameter (a section of a com-
plex line-bundle) and a U(1)-principal connection, both of them containing topolog ical
information. In the case of NM, all the topological informat ion is contained in one of the
variables, i.e. the principal connection, while the other i s a scalar function. An additional
advantage of the NM is in that it remains meaningful in three- plus-one dimensions just
as well as in the two-dimensional setting. I would also like t o mention that recently other
researchers have introduced nonlinear Maxwell equations o f another type in the context
of the Quantum Hall Effects, cf. [3]. The NM theory presented i n this and the preceding
articles of mine is of a different nature. Finally, although t his is far from my areas of
expertise and the remark should be received as completely ad hoc , I would also like to
mention that yet another context in which foliations come in touch with the Quantum
Hall Effect is that of noncommutative geometry, cf. [1].
Let me conclude with a question that may suggest yet another p oint of view. Namely,
is there a coalescence between the nonlinear PDEs (in the for m of the NM) and the
(Quantum) Information Theory? As it was pointed out, constr uction of error correcting
codes may unavoidably require manipulating quantum inform ation at the topological
level. Anyhow, this is how I have understood the essential th ought in [2]. Adopting this
paradigm would strongly suggest that the effective language of quantum computation
should be costructed at many levels, including that of the me soscopic field theory in
parallel with the language derrived from the basic principl es as it is done now. Future
research will likely better clarify these issues.

Cosmological Constant Problem

Following a conjecture of Feynman, we explore the possibili ty that only those energy forms that are
associated with (massive or massless) particles couple to t he gravitational field, but not others. We
propose an experiment to deflect electrons by a small charged sphere to determine if the standard
general relativity or this modified one corresponds to reali ty. The outcome of this experiment may
also solve the cosmological constant problem.

The equivalence of mass and energy, expressed in his celebra ted formula E=mc2, led Einstein to postulate that
the energy-momentum tensor Tµνin the field equation of general relativity [1]
Rµν−1
2gµνR=8πG
c4Tµν, (1)
contains all kinds of energies, such as matter, radiation, e lectromagnetic, vacuum, etc. Thus assuming that the
vacuum energy is negligible, the field equation (1) outside a n object of total mass Mand static electric charge Q
containg no neutral and charged masses or other fields around it reduces to
Rµν=8πG
c4Tµν
EM, (2)
where Tµν
EMis the traceless energy-momentum tensor of the electric fiel d due to the charge Qof the object. For
the purpose of this letter we shall classify different energy types into two. The first class is the set of energy types
with which massive or massless particles are associated. Th us the energy of an already existing mass distribution
is obviously of this class1. Since the energy in an electromagnetic wave (electromagne tic radiation) is carried in
packages that behave like massless particles (photons) the electromagnetic radiation energy is also of this class2.
Energies associated with other massless particles like neu trinos and gravitons are further examples. Each energy type
in this class may rightly be called ‘mass energy’ or ‘particl e energy’. The second class is the set of energy types with
which no particles are associated3. The energies in the electric fields of a static charge distri bution and between the
plates of a capacitor as well as the vacuum energy are of the se cond class.
There is plenty of emprical proof, such as the successes of th e big-bang cosmology and the deflection of light by the
sun, that the first class energies couple to the gravitationa l field. But there does not exist any emprical proof at present
for the coupling of the second class energies to the gravitat ional field. Therefore, we do not know with certainty if Eq.
(2) corresponds to a fact of nature. It lacks experimental su pport. There is the intriguing possibility that we shall
consider in this letter, as first hinted by Feynman [2] when he said’...Now gravity is supposed to interact with every
form of energy and should interact then with this vacuum ener gy. And therefore, so to speak, a vacuum would have
a weight-an equivalent mass energy-and would produce a grav itational field. Well, it doesn’t! The gravitational field
produced by the energy in the electromagnetic field in a vacuu m-where there’s no light, just quiet, nothing-should be
∗E-mail: mhozer@hotmail.com
1The mass of the distribution may be constantly changing due t o its mechanical energy, its absorbtion or loss of heat energ y,
etc. Furthermore, while we can estimate how much electromag netic binding energy of an atom contributes to its rest mass
we do not know, for example, how much weak and gravitational e nergies contribute to it. We also know from the E¨ otv¨ os
experiment that electromagnetic binding energy contribut es equally to inertial and gravitational massess. We assume this is
the case for the other energy types.
2Recall that though massless, an ‘effective mass’ can be assig ned to photons.
3Of course, there is an ‘equivalent mass’ through E=mc2for such energies too. But the crucial point is that there is n o
already existing massive or massless particles associated with them.
1enermous, so enermous, it would be obvious. The fact is, it’s zero! Or so small that it’s completely in disagreement
with what we’d expect from the field theory. This problem is so metimes called the cosmological constant problem. It
suggests that we’re missing something in our formulation of the theory of gravity. It’s even possible that the cause
of the trouble-the infinities-arises from the gravity inter acting with its own energy in a vacuum. And we started off
wrong because we already know there’s something wrong with t he idea that gravity should interact with the energy of
a vacuum. So I think the first thing we should understand is how to formulate gravity so that it doesn’t interact with
the energy in a vacuum...’ According to this conjecture of Feynman there is the possibi lity that the right side of Eq.
(2) may be zero:
Rµν= 0. (3)
The importance of confronting with experiment the predicti ons of equations (2) and (3) is not merely academic. If
it turns out that Eq. (3) is the one favored by nature, we then h ave a very simple solution [2] to the cosmological
constant problem [3]. It would mean that being of the second c lass, the vacuum energy does not couple to the
gravitational field. The present value of the vacuum energy d ensity is as large as it had been in the early universe.
The cosmological constant, however, is simply zero, as it ha s always been.
The purpose of this letter is to propose a deflection of electr ons by a positively charged sphere experiment to
distinguish between equations (2) and (3). To this end, we sh all need the solutions of these equations. The solution
of Eq. (2) for a static and spherical distribution of mass Mand electric charge Qlocated at r= 0 is known as the
Reissner-Nordstrøm solution [4,5]. It is given by

weak fields Eq. (3) must reduce to Laplace’s equation
∇2(ΦG+ ΦE) = 0, (5)
where Φ Gand Φ Eare the gravitational and electric potentials of the sphere . Finding the solution of Eq. (3) proceeds
along the lines of the Schwarzschild solution [6]. We find

a sphere of mass Mand charge Q. For the electron to escape from this object at a distance rfrom its center and reach infinity
with zero speed, the escape velocity vescsatisfies mv2
esc/2−GmM/r −ekeQ/r= 0.Replacing vescwithc, the speed of light,
(so that the electron cannot escape from the surface of radiu s r) and dividing it by mc2/2 the left side of this equation becomes
(1−2GM/c2r−2ekeQ/mc2r), which is the g00in Eq. (6) .

αβandFµα=∂Aα/∂xµ−∂Aµ/∂xαare the connection coefficients and the electro-
magnetic field strength tensor, with Aµ= (keQ/r,0) being the electromagnetic four-potential of the sphere. Before
we indulge in obtaining the orbit equations in experimental ly relevant form, we propose the following experiment.
Consider a rectangular vacuum chamber. Let a small metallic sphere of radius R≈2−5cmpositively charged to a
voltage V(R) =keQ/Rbe hanged freely from an insulating thread. Let an electron g un be located at a distance d
away from the equator (the θ=π/2 plane) of the sphere with an impact parameter bwhich is the horizontal distance
between the initial path of the ejected electron beam and the center of the sphere. Thus the initial position of the
beam is ( xi, yi) = (−b, d) at an angle φi=π/2 +arctan (b/d). Put a calibrated fluorescent screen on the negative y
axis at φ= 3π/2. The initial conditions for solving the differential equat ions that we shall obtain (see equations (15)
and (16) ) are u(φi) =r−1

b2+d2. Make a large enough glass window
on the side of the box facing the screen (or monitor the positi on of the electron beam on the screen electronically).
Compare the reading of the position of the beam with the predi ctions of the equations that we obtain now.
Using spherical coordinates, we write the line element in th e form
ds2=eηc2dt2−e−ηdr2−r2dθ2−r2sin2θdφ2. (9)
Inserting dθ/ds = 0 in Eq. (7) and integrating the equations obtained for the c oordinates x0=ctandx3=φwe get

and (11) in our case. They are, respectively, h=l(1 +mEu)/mcandh=l(1−2mEu)−1/mc. Inserting these in
equations (12) and (14) we finally obtain

5Note that charged particles follow the geodesics, Eq. (8), o f the metric gµν. This is a consequence of Eq. (3). Note also
that there is a different metric for each particle with a differ ent charge-to-mass ratio. The resulting theory, therefore , is a
multi-metric theory.
6For a sphere of M= 1kg,R= 5cm,V(R) = 103V, we have for an electron just grazing the sphere gRN

GV(R)2/kec4) = (1−1.48×10−26+ 9.19×10−49)≈1.

d2u
dφ2+u=m2c2
l2mE(1−2mEu)2+ 3mEu2, (16)
which is the orbit equation in our case which we call modified g eneral relativity. By using the initial conditions stated
above these equations can be solved numerically for r= 1/u, the predicted position of the electron beam on the screen
from the center of the sphere. By comparing the experimental value with these predictions, the correct theory can
be determined. In Figures 1 and 2 we depict the trajectory of t he electrons according to the two theories. It is seen
that the difference between the two predictions is large enou gh. Hence the experimentally favored one can be picked
up rather easily.
Before we conclude, we wish to clarify the implications of th e E¨ otv¨ os experiment in regard to the theory presented
here. The electromagnetic energy of the atoms, or any other f orm of energy, in an object has already been converted to
mass ( and thus belongs to the first type in our classification o f the energy types above). What the E¨ otv¨ os experiment
tells us is that the electromagnetic energy contributes in e qual amounts to gravitational and inertial masses. It does
not tell us that this energy couples to the gravitational fiel d independently as energy. Had the electromagnetic energy
coupled to the gravitational field independently, a deflecti on in the balance of the E¨ otv¨ os apparatus would have been
seen when two equal massess having considerably different el ectromagnetic binding energies were used. Of course this
does not happen.
In conclusion, we have explored the conjecture of Feynman on a reformulation of general relativity. In this new
scheme only the ‘mass energy’ couples to the gravitational fi eld, but not other energy forms. We have proposed a
deflection of electrons by a charged sphere experiment. The s ignificance of this experiment is that it not only provides
a new test of general relativity but also may point out to the s olution of the cosmological constant problem. Not being
a wave, the energy of the vacuum is not associated with quanti zed packages and a formula like E∝f, with fbeing
the frequency, cannot be written and an effective mass meff∝f/c2cannot be defined. Thus according to the scheme
presented here the field equation for vacuum is Rµν= 0, implying that the cosmological constant λ= (8πG/c4)ρVof
standard general relativity, with ρVbeing the vacuum energy density, is λ= 0×ρV= 0 here. λhas always been equal
to zero! Keeping on mind that (i) standard general relativit y remains one of the least tested of scientific theories,
and (ii) the theory presented here offers a very simple soluti on to the cosmological constant problem, the immediate
performance of the experiment suggested here cannot be over emphasized.
We wish to thank Dr. Bahram Mashhoon for an e-mail correspond ence on the implications of the E¨ otv¨ os experiment.

We present experimental results on the two-body loss rates
in a magneto-optical trap of metastable helium atoms. Abso-
lute rates are measured in a systematic way for several laser
detunings ranging from -5 to -30 MHz and at different inten-
sities, by monitoring the decay of the trap fluorescence. The
dependence of the two-body loss rate coefficient βon the ex-
cited state (23P2) and metastable state (23S1) populations is
also investigated. From these results we infer a rather unif orm
rate constant Ksp= (1±0.4)×10−7cm3/s.

I. INTRODUCTION
Helium atoms in the metastable triplet state 23S1(He*)
appear to be a good candidate for Bose-Einstein Condensa-
tion (BEC) according to theoretical predictions [1]. The cr oss
section for elastic collisions between spin-polarised met astable
helium atoms is expected to be large, allowing efficient ther-
malization and evaporation in a magnetostatic trap, which
is the standard technique to reach BEC [2–5]. On the other
hand, very high autoionization rates (Penning collisions) pre-
vent reaching high densities of metastable helium atoms, bo th
in the presence and in the absence of light, unless the sample
is spin polarized.
If a metastable helium atom collide either with an other
metastable atom, or with an helium atom excited in the 23P2
state, the quasi molecule formed can autoionize according t o
the following reactions:
He (23S1) + He (23S1)→/braceleftbigg
He(11S0) + He++e−
He+
2+e− (1)
He (23P2) + He (23S1)→/braceleftbigg
He(11S0) + He++e−
He+
2+e− (2)
A first experiment at subthermal energy ( E= 1.6 meV)
with the metastable helium system was performed by M¨ uller
et al.[6], allowing the determination of the interaction poten-
tials. Using those potentials the rate βSSfor the reactions
(1) has been calculated [7–9] to be a few 10−10cm3/s, which
agrees with measurements performed in Magneto-Optical
Traps (MOT) [10,7,11]. According to theoretical predictio ns
[1], the ionization rate corresponding to the reactions (1)
should be suppressed by four orders of magnitude in a magne-
tostatic trap. Spin polarization of the atoms and spin conse r-
vation in the collisional process are the causes of this supp res-
sion, which makes the quest of BEC reasonable. Actually, a
reduction of more than a factor of 20 in the two-body loss ratein an optically polarized sample was observed experimental ly
[12].
In presence of light exciting the transition 23S1→23P2, the
reaction (2) is dominant. “Optical collisions” with metast able
helium atoms were measured to have surprisingly large cross
sections when compared with alkali systems [13]. The study
of optical collisions is of fundamental importance in order to
optimize the first step towards BEC, consisting in pre-cooli ng
and trapping the atoms in a MOT. The goal is to transfer
a cloud as dense as possible in a magnetic trap, in order to
increase the elastic collision rate and start evaporation. The
experimental study of optical collisions is the subject of t his
paper.
Several groups reported measurements of optical collision s
rates, by studying losses in the MOT at small detunings
[10,8,11] around−5 MHz and at large detunings [11] at −35
MHz and−45 MHz. Measurements over a broad range of
detunings, from−5 MHz to−20 MHz, were reported in [14]
and the dependence of the loss rate on the intensity of the
MOT laser beams was investigated. In reference [7] a theo-
retical model for optical collisions is also proposed predi cting
rates in good agreement with the measurements, but differ-
ing by more than one order of magnitude with all the other
measurements previously quoted.
Our measurements are performed in a MOT loaded with
109atoms, at a peak density of 1010atoms/cm3. With respect
to previous works, we extend the measurements of the two-
body loss rate to a wider range of detunings and intensities
with a good precision, by measuring the number of atoms
and the size of the trap using absorption techniques. Also,
by measuring accurately the excited state population in eac h
trapping condition, we are able to interpret our data with a
simple model, expressing the two-body loss rate in terms of
the excited state population and of a rate constant Ksp, found
to be independent of the laser detuning and intensity.
Our experimental setup is described in section II, while in
section III we explain our detection system and we give the
working conditions and performance of our magneto-optical
trap. In section IV we describe in detail the experimental
procedure used to measure the two-body loss rate and the ex-
cited state population for different trapping conditions. T he
results are given in section V, and the conclusions in sectio n
VI.
II. EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP
A beam of metastable helium atoms is generated by a con-
tinuous high voltage discharge in helium gas, cooled to liqu id
nitrogen temperature. Radiation pressure on the metastabl e
beam allows one to increase its brightness, and to deflect it
1from the ground state helium beam [15]. The metastable
atoms are then decelerated by the Zeeman slowing technique
and loaded in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) in a quartz cell
at a background pressure of 5 ×10−10torr. More details on the
experimental setup will be given in a forthcoming paper [16] .
MOT parameters for optimal loading of the trap are listed
in table I. For the laser manipulation of the atoms, we use
the line at 1083 nm, connecting the metastable triplet state
23S1to the radiative state 23P2. The saturation intensity Isat
for this transition is 0,16 mW/cm2and the linewidth Γ /2π
is 1.6 MHz. Our laser system consists of a DBR laser diode
(SDL-6702-H1) in an extended cavity configuration, injecti ng
a commercial Ytterbium doped fiber amplifier (IRE-POLUS
Group). The diode is stabilized by saturation spectroscopy
at -240 MHz from resonance. At the fiber output we obtain
600 mW of power, in a TEM00 mode at the same frequency.
The estimated linewidth is around 300 kHz. All the frequen-
cies required for collimation, deflection, trapping and pro bing
are generated by acousto-optical modulators in a double pas s
configuration, while we use directly part of the fiber output
beam for slowing the atoms.

FIG. 1. Detection set-up. By rotating the λ/2 plate, one can
create either a progressive plane wave for measuring the abs orption
on the photodiode PD1, or a standing wave, with both beams cir -
cularly polarized in the cell region, for imaging the cloud o nto the
CCD camera. PD2 monitors the fluorescence of the MOT.In order to fully characterize the cloud, we use a probe laser
beam on resonance, whose diameter is about 1 cm, which is
turned on 100 µs after the MOT field and light beams have
been turned off. Our detection setup (see fig. 1) allows dif-
ferent measurements. With the combination of λ/2 plates
and polarization beam splitter cubes, we can create either ( i)
a progressive wave, circularly polarized, passing through the
atomic cloud towards a photodiode (PD1 in figure 1), giving
the total absorption by the atoms, or (ii) a stationary wave,
also circularly polarized, one arm of which is sent to a CCD
camera, allowing spatially resolved absorption pictures o f the
cloud. A second photodiode (PD2 in figure 1) is used to col-
lect the cloud fluorescence. We use the absorption photodiod e
PD1 to measure N, the number of atoms in the steady state of
the MOT. The probe beam saturates the transition when the
incident power exceeds 10 mW (see fig. 2). The maximum
absorbed power is then P=NhνΓ
2. Our Watt-meter (Co-
herent lab-master) is calibrated to 3% accuracy and allows a
rectilinear calibration fit of the photodiode voltage. We me a-
sure a maximum total absorption of 1 mW, corresponding to
(1±0.1)×109atoms. We estimate the accuracy for the mea-
surement of N to be about 10%.

2We stress the fact that the case of He* differs of that of
alkalis, for which the imaging method gives a direct measure -
ment of both the two-dimensional column density and the rms
sizes of the MOT, by absorption of a brief and low intensity
probe pulse ( I≪Isat). In the case of He*, the quantum
efficiency of the CCD camera (10−3at 1.083 µm) is too low
to provide images with a sufficient signal to noise ratio. We
need instead to illuminate the atoms with a 200 µspulse
whose intensity is about 0.1 mW/cm2(I∼Isat), and use a
moderate magnification of 1/5. Another difficulty with He*
occurs from the large recoil momentum ¯ hk/m (9.2 cm/s) due
to the light mass of the atoms : the atoms are pushed out of
resonance during the 200 µspulse if a traveling wave pulse is
used. The solution we adopted is to illuminate the atoms in a
standing wave with the set-up shown in figure 1. Though this
scheme allows us to obtain pictures with a good contrast, the
drawback is that the images obtained in the standing wave
configuration for I∼Isatare more difficult to analyze than
in the low intensity case. In order to interpret the absorpti on
pictures in the standing wave configuration, and for any sat-
uration parameter, we developed a handy theoretical model
(see appendix A) giving the column density of the atoms for
each pixel of the CCD camera. The resulting density is then
fitted by a Gaussian curve to extract the size of the cloud.
IV. MEASURING THE TRAP DECAY BY
FLUORESCENCE
Once the loading of the MOT is interrupted, the evolution
of the number of trapped atoms Nis given by the following
equation:
dN
dt=−αN−β/integraldisplay
n2(r, t)d3r (3)
where n(r, t) is the atomic density at position rand time t,
αis the decay rate due to collisions between trapped atoms
and the residual gas, and βis the two body intra-MOT loss
factor. Assuming that the spatial distribution is independ ent
of the time evolution of the number of atoms, which is valid
at low enough densities, one can write the density as
n(r, t) =N(t)
(2π)3
2σxσyσze−x2
2σ2x−y2
2σ2y−z2
2σ2z (4)
At low enough pressure and high enough density, losses due
to background gas are negligible, so that the equation reduc es
to
dN
dt=−βN2(t)
(4π)3
2σxσyσz(5)
whose solution is
N(t) =N(t0)
1 +β
2√
2n(0, t0)(t−t0)(6)
where t0is the initial time. In order to follow the evolution of
the number of trapped atoms, we monitor the fluorescence de-
cay of the MOT with a photodiode (PD2 in figure 1). As thefluorescence signal is proportional to the number of atoms, w e
obtain a fluorescence decay curve reproducing equation (6),
which we fit to get the parameter βn(0, t0). In order to de-
termine β, one still has to measure n(0, t0), which means that
one has to measure the rms size of the cloud along the three
directions and the initial number of atoms N(t0).
Our goal is to measure the loss rate for a wide range of de-
tunings and intensities. The experimental procedure, divi ded
in three successive steps, is the following.
(1) First, we load the trap for 1 s at δ=−45 MHz and at the
highest intensity in the trapping beams (I/Isat=50 per lase r
arm). Then, we stop the loading by blocking the slowing
beam with a mechanical shutter. 20 ms later, we “compress”
the MOT by suddenly changing its detuning and intensity
using acousto-optical modulators. We record the fluorescen ce
signal during this procedure. A typical fluorescence curve i s
shown in figure 3.

Time (ms)
FIG. 3. Evolution of the fluorescence signal. Once the loading
is stopped, scattered light from the slowing beam is blocked , which
explains the drop of the signal at t=-10 ms. The detuning is th en
set to δ=−20 MHz at t=0 ms and the fluorescence decays.
The loading is stopped at t=-20 ms and the photodiode sig-
nal drops by a factor of 2 at t=-10 ms because the background
light from the slowing beam is blocked. The fluorescence is
greatly enhanced in the beginning of the compression phase
at t=0 ms, as expected when the detuning is set closer to res-
onance (the detuning is set here to -20 MHz), but decays to
almost zero in about 100 ms because of the two-body losses.
Figure 4 shows the time evolution of the size of the cloud dur-
ing this phase of compression, showing that 10 ms are enough
to reach the new equilibrium size. Thus, we extract the pa-
rameter βn(0, t0) from a fit of the fluorescence decay starting
fromt=t0= 10 ms. At this very time we measure the sizes
of the MOT along x and y and the number of atoms in order
to calculate n(0, t0).

FIG. 4. Size of the MOT during the compression phase. The

(2) Then, the sizes along the weak axis of the magnetic field
gradient are measured by absorption on the CCD camera as
explained in section III. Figure 5 shows the rms size along x
for various laser detunings and intensities. The size along z
(strong axis of the quadrupole field) is inferred from measur e-
ments of the sizes along x and y with a magnetic field gradient
btwice as large. We find a typical size along z 20% smaller
than along the weak axes of the quadrupole. We did not cor-
rect the sizes for the expansion of the cloud during the pulse
lasting 200 µs, as this would have required the measurement
of the temperature for all the detunings and intensities. Ne v-
ertheless, we performed some time of flight measurements,
giving temperatures ranging from 0.3 mK at -10 MHz to 1
mK at -40 MHz, from which we estimate that the sizes are
overestimated at most by 5 % at -25 MHz and by 15 % at -5
MHz. In addition, we measured the statistical error on the
sizes to be relatively small at large detunings, 2 to 3%, but
larger at small detunings (about 10% at -5 MHz). This is due
(i) to the poor spatial resolution of our imaging system (pix el
dimension 80 µm×130µm), and (ii) to a low signal to noise
ratio for small detunings where the loss rate is larger, as mo st
of the atoms are lost during the compression phase.

FIG. 5. Rms size of the MOT cloud as a function of the intensity
of the MOT laser beams for various detunings.(3) Finally, to determine the number of atoms that were
still trapped at t0= 10 ms, we simultaneously switch off the
magnetic field and set the trapping beams on resonance at
t0, instead of letting the trap decay as in figure 3. The laser
intensity is set to a high enough value to strongly saturate t he
transition. We get a peak of fluorescence, whose amplitude is
proportional to the number of atoms. We compare it with the
peak obtained with the same procedure but for the MOT in
the best loading conditions of figure 2, for which we measured
the number of atoms precisely. From this comparison, we infe r
the number of atoms at t=t0in the compressed MOT, and
thus determine n(0, t0).
This measurement also gives access to the value of the averag e
population of the excited state πp. Indeed, πpis given by

pressed MOT at t0, and Fmaxthe fluorescence signal at res-
onance, when the transition is saturated, and πpexpected to
be 1/2.
Figure 6 shows the results of the fluorescence measurements,
giving Fmax/Fas a function of the inverse of the laser inten-
sity I for various detunings. It is interesting to note that t he
inverse of Fis found to vary linearly with the inverse of I.

pressed MOT can be modeled by the following equation:

where ηis the detection efficiency, Iis the total intensity of
the six MOT beams, and C1andC2phenomenological factors.
C1andC2would be 1 for a two-level atom, but they are
expected to be smaller for an atom placed at the intersection
of 6 differently polarized laser beams, as happens in a MOT.
In reference [17], C1andC2are found to be equal, and slighly
larger than the average of the squares of the Clebsch-Gordan
4coefficients over all possible transitions. For a J= 1←→J=
2 transition, this average is 0.56. We can rewrite equation ( 8)
as

The results of figure 6 show a good agreement with (9). But,
C2andC1are not found equal, and both depend on the de-
tuning. For example, C1is found to be 0.58, 0.48, 0.46, 0.44,
0.22 for δ=-25, -20, -15, -10, -5 MHz respectively. We stress
the fact that, for the fluorescence at resonance, and for full
saturation, C1 and C2 are expected to be equal.

Fig. 8 shows the loss parameter as a function of detuning
for a fixed intensity (I
Isat= 80). For the same reason, the rate
increases when the detuning goes to zero, as the population
in the P state increases. Our results for βagree with previous
results [10,8,11,14] within the given error bars, extendin g the
measurements to a wider range of parameters. For example,
at -5 MHz and in an intensity range for which βis not ex-
pected to vary strongly ( I= 140 to 200 Isat), Kumakura et
al. [8] find β= (4.2±1.2)×10−8cm3/s, Browaeys et al. [14]
β= 2×10−8cm3/s with an uncertainty of a factor 2 and
Tol et al. [11] β= (1.3±0.3)×10−8cm3/s. Our measurement
β= (3.5±1.4)×10−8cm3/s agrees best with [8]. One should
also note that we find neither a decrease of βfor high intensi-
ties at small detunings, nor a decrease of βat small detunings
for a given intensity : this differs from the results of [14]. I n
fact, we find that βincreases with intensity at small detun-
ings, and also increases with decreasing detunings at a give n
intensity. We also disagree with the results of [7] where muc h
smaller rates are found.
Finally, we also measured the loss rate in the trapping con-
ditions ( δ=−45 MHz, I= 310 Isat) : the decay rate of the
number of atoms was found to be βn(0) = 30s−1at a density
of 1010at/cm3, which gives β= 3×10−9cm3/s.
One can further analyze these data following the simple mode l
of [10] which relates the decay constant βto the constant rate
coefficients Kss,KspandKppand to the populations of the
excited and ground state levels, πpandπsrespectively:
β=Kssπsπs+ 2Kspπsπp+Kppπpπp (10)
Experiments [7,11] or theory [7–9] have shown that the contr i-
butions Kssπ2

From the measurements of the fluorescence signal in figure 6,
we derive πpfor each experimental point, as F/F maxin eq.

In figure 9, we then plot Kspfor the ensemble of our
data. We do not see clear evidence for a dependence of Ksp
with the detuning or the intensity within the dispersion of
our data. To a good approximation, we estimate then that
Kspis actually constant in the explored range of parameters:
Ksp= (1.0±0.4)×10−7cm3/s, with a dispersion that roughly
agrees with the error bars we claim. This result agrees with
the first measurement ever performed [10], but the precision
is now much improved. It also agrees well with the measure-
ments of [8] where the authors found Ksp= (8.3±2.5)×10−8
cm3/s, assuming that for their parameters ( δ=−5 MHz and
I= 30 mW/cm2),πs=πp= 0.5.
An important point is that, in contrast with the measure-
ment of the fluorescence at resonance where the transition is
assumed to be saturated, πpin the compressed MOT never
reaches 0.5 in our measurements : even for the smallest de-
tuning and the highest intensity, πpis only 0.2. This explains
why the results for βin figure 7 at δ=−5 MHz strongly in-
crease for increasing intensity over the whole explored ran ge.
VI. CONCLUSION
We measured the absolute two-body loss rate between
metastable atoms in a magneto-optical trap as a function of
detuning and intensity. We extended the range of these pa-
rameters and compared the results to those of previous mea-
surements, mostly performed at small detunings. Using a new
experimental approach, we obtained reliable values for the
two-body loss rates with an improved accuracy as compared
to most earlier results. In the region of overlap of parame-
ters, we find a good agreement with previous measurements,
within the quoted uncertainties. We find a loss rate monotoni -
cally increasing as a function of intensity and decreasing w ith
detuning. Our measurements are interpreted with a simple
model, giving a rather constant loss rate Ksp, with an aver-
age value of (1±0.4)×10−7cm3/s, as already found in the
very first measurement of [10]. We believe that the quality
and the extended range of our measurements should moti-
vate more theoretical work, in order to understand better th e
peculiar dynamics of Penning collisions between metastabl ehelium atoms in the presence of light.

APPENDIX A: MODEL OF THE ABSORPTION
In this appendix we describe the method we used to quan-
titatively interpret the absorption images of the atomic cl oud
when a standing wave configuration of the probe beam is used,
and for an arbitrary saturation parameter. We describe the
atoms as two-level atoms characterized by a non linear sus-
ceptibility:
χ=n(x,y, z)/bracketleftbigg

¯hǫ0δ−i(Γ/2)
(Γ/2)2+δ2+|Ω|2/2/bracketrightbigg
(A1)
where n(x, y,z) is the atomic density, dthe atomic dipole, δ
the detuning, Γ the inverse lifetime of the excited state and
Ω is the Rabi frequency given by
¯hΩ
2=−dE(+)E=E(+)e−iωt+c.c. (A2)
where E is the electric field. The direction of propagation of
the beam is zand the field is supposed to be uniform in the
plane (x,y). The propagation of the field is then described by
the Maxwell equations:
/bracketleftbig

Ω(z) = 0 (A3)
where k0is the wavevector of the light.
The principle of the model is to use the slowly varying en-
velope approximation generalized to the case of a standing
wave. We then decompose the probe beam field as:
Ω(z) =A+(z)eik0z+A−(z)e−ik0z(A4)
where A+,A−are the slowly varying envelopes of the wave
going towards positive zand negative zrespectively. A simi-

we neglect terms in the expansion describing generation of

interaction.
If we insert the expansions (A4) and (A5) into the propagatio n
equation (A3) and use the rotating wave appoximation, we
obtain a set of two coupled differential equations for the slo wly
varying field amplitudes A+,A−. By splitting the complex
amplitudes into modulus and phase:
A+=|A+|eiφ+A−=|A−|eiφ−(A6)
and by introducing the phase difference ( φ+−φ−) in the
definition of the slowly varying susceptibilities χ+andχ−:
χ+= ˜χ+ei(φ+−φ−)χ−= ˜χ−e−i(φ+−φ−),(A7)
one can write :

By using expressions (A1) and (A4), the quantities k0Im˜χ+,
k0Im˜χ−andk0Im˜χ0are readily calculated:
k0Im˜χ0=3λ2

As a last step we eliminate the atomic density n(x, y, z ) from
the equations by changing variable:

Forδ= 0 and in the limit of small saturation parameters,
one has α= 1, f0≃1,f1≃0 and one recovers the usual
decoupled equation for low saturation absorption. We have
now to solve equations (A16) and (A17). More precisely we
wish to calculate the column density

−∞n(x, y,z′)dz′(A19)for each effective pixel (x,y) of our image of the cloud. For
each effective pixel, we can measure the initial conditions:

|˜A−|2(Z(−∞) = 0) = If (A21)
corresponding respectively to the intensity of the probe be am
before passing through the cloud, or equivalently without t he
atoms, and to the intensity of the probe beam that passed
through the atomic cloud. For symmetry reasons, the column
density (A19) is given by 2 Z0=Z(0), where Z0verifies
|˜A+(Z0)|2=|˜A−(Z0)|2. (A22)
For each pixel (x,y), we then integrate equations (A16)-(A1 7)
numerically using the initial conditions (A20)-(A21) unti l
|˜A+(Z)|2=|˜A−(Z)|2. The corresponding Zmultiplied by 2
gives the column density. Note that, contrarily to what hap-
pens in the low saturation regime, we here need the values Ii

calibration of our CCD camera.

Abstract
This article presents a new experiment aiming at BEC of metas table helium atoms. It
describes the design of a high flux discharge source of atoms a nd a robust laser system using a
DBR diode coupled with a high power Yb doped fiber amplifier for manipulating the beam of
metastable atoms. The atoms are trapped in a small quartz cel l in an extreme high vacuum.
The trapping design uses an additional laser (repumper) and allows the capture of a large
number of metastable helium atoms (approximately 109) in a geometry favorable for loading
a tight magnetostatic trap.

1 Introduction
The main goals of this experiment is first to produce a gas of4He atoms in the metastable
23S1state with a density as large as possible, and then to bring do wn the temperature of the
gas to ultralow temperatures. This experiment replaces an e arlier experiment based on the
VSCPT cooling method [1] which, despite the achievement of u ltra low temperatures, could
not reach high phase space densities, due to the small number of atoms being cooled. Let
us mention that several other groups are involved in experim ents with similar goals dealing
with trapped ultracold metastable helium atoms [2, 3, 4]. Th e present experiment, as well as
those of references [3, 4], aim at achieving Bose-Einstein c ondensation (BEC) by combination
of laser cooling, magnetic trapping and subsequent evapora tive cooling, following the route
successfully taken for BEC of alkali atoms (Rb,Na,Li) since 1995 [5, 6, 7] and atomic hydrogen
in 1998 [8]. A metastable helium condensate would be the first one with atoms in an excited
state of high internal energy (19.8 eV) and long lifetime (ap proximately 8000 s). It should be
interesting to compare the properties of such a gaseous dilu te helium condensate to those of
superfluid liquid helium, dominated by interactions betwee n particles. Helium BEC should
be capable of forming a helium atom laser as it was the case for alkali BEC. There are many
applications of such coherent matter waves. For instance a m etastable atom laser [9] could be
a valuable source for lithography [10]. Another applicatio n for helium atoms is metrological
[11], since its energy levels can be calculated with a high de gree of accuracy. Let us finally
mention an interesting property of these metastable helium atoms. They can transfer their
high internal energy when they collide with surfaces or mole cules. This property can be used
for highly efficient detection, almost ”one by one”, with good spatial and temporal resolution
[12], using microchannel plates for example.
It thus appears that the metastable helium atom displays app ealing features as a candi-
date for BEC. According to theoretical predictions [13], th e cross section for elastic collisions
between cold metastable atoms should be large, ensuring rap id thermalisation for efficient
evaporative cooling in the magnetic trap. Furthermore, Pen ning collisions which are the
main source of inelastic losses in a magneto-optical trap, a re expected to have a rate slow
enough to allow the formation of BEC in a magnetostatic trap. However, reaching BEC with
1metastable helium remains uncertain. The predicted value o f approximately 10 nm for the
scattering length could be inaccurate as it is very sensitiv e to the details of long range elastic
potential between atoms, which is not known to a high accurac y. It should also be mentioned
that the rates of the inelastic collisions, which are likely to heat up and empty the trap at
low temperatures [13, 14, 15], have not yet been measured. Fr om an experimental point of
view, one first needs to trap a dense cloud of these atoms in an u ltra high vacuum. A second
step is to construct a strongly confining magnetostatic trap . Thus, we choose to trap the
atomic cloud in a quartz cell of small dimension while having the confining magnets external
to the cell and close to the vacuum chamber. Section 2 of this a rticle gives details of the
discharge source and of the optimal parameters chosen to ach ieve a high flux of metastable
helium atoms. Section 3 shows the laser system consisting in a DBR diode laser coupled
with a high power fiber amplifier. Section 4 describes the lase r techniques used to increase
the brightness of the beam of atoms, to deflect it from the beam of ground state atoms and
to slow it down in a spatially varying magnetic field. Section 5 demonstrates the advantages
of our particular trapping scheme.
2 The source of metastable atoms
2.1 Principle
The development of an intense and slow beam of metastable hel ium atoms requires to solve
several problems. First, helium atoms have to be efficiently e xcited to the metastable state.
Secondly, the beam has to be cooled to a low enough temperatur e to avoid difficulties with
the subsequent deceleration, knowing that the small mass of the atom results in a high ve-
locity at room temperature. In a previous experiment [1], me tastable atoms were produced
at a moderate rate by electron bombardment and they were cool ed down to liquid helium
temperature. In the present setup, a different strategy is us ed: metastable atoms are pro-
duced in a gas discharge and cooled to liquid nitrogen temper ature, reaching mean velocities
of approximately 1000 m/s. It is known that the most efficient w ay to produce high rates
of metastable helium atoms is to start with a pulsed or contin uous gas discharge, where
atoms are excited to upper states by electronic collisions a nd then decay to the long-lived
metastable state. A fraction between 10−6and 10−4of the ground-state atomic flux can be
produced in the metastable state with an intense discharge. However, the heat generation in
the discharge makes it difficult to obtain both intense and col d atomic beam of metastable
helium. Several attempts [16, 17, 18] have been made to solve this problem. The source
developed at ENS results from a design which combines severa l advantages of the sources
developed by the other groups. The setup is compact and robus t and gives a reliable large
flux of atoms, a significant number of which have velocities be low 1000 m/s.
All discharge sources for metastable helium consist basica lly of a gas reservoir filled with
helium gas to a pressure of a few tens of mbar. The discharge oc curs between the cathode
inside the reservoir through the outlet channel to the anode , placed on the high vacuum side,
or directly to the skimmer. The design of Fahey et al. [16] ach ieves low gas temperatures by
cooling only the nozzle with liquid nitrogen. The source des cribed by Kawanaka [17] makes
use of an elaborate scheme to cool down all of the source and to remove the hot gas by
a roughing pump. Similar results have been obtained regardi ng fluxes reaching up to 1014
atoms per second and steradian [16] and [17]. Velocities are found to be slightly above 1000
m/s in [16] and slightly below 1000 m/s in [17]. For the design presented here and shown
in fig. 1, the complete source, including the discharge elect rodes, is cooled in a simple and
efficient way. No additional effort such as removing the hot gas is required. As a result the
entire source is very compact. A careful design of the shape o f the electrodes and of the gas
outlet ensures that the discharge is partially burning into the high vacuum (see fig. 1) rather
than inside the reservoir. This provides a high flux of metast able atoms, as they do not hit
walls at the place where they are produced. The design is such that a reliable and stable
operation mode has been achieved for several weeks of contin uous operation.

and outside the anode. The metallic anode is cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature. b) Zoom of the outlet channel
region. The source and detection chambers are separated by t he skimmer.
The source shown in fig. 1 consists of a cylindrical gas reserv oir entirely made of boron
nitride, a material which has a sufficiently high heat conduct ivity as well as a high electrical
and chemical resistance. This material was already used by F ahey et al. for the nozzle of
their discharge source [16]. The external part of the gas res ervoir is covered with vacuum
grease for better thermal contact with the copper cylinder c ooled by liquid nitrogen, into
which it is pressed. A copper flange, held by an electrically i solating support of araldite and
tightened by an indium o-ring, closes the reservoir on the ba ckside. The flange serves as the
inlet of the helium gas, as well as for the mount of the cathode . The cathode is a stainless
steel tip adjustable in position during mounting. The dista nce between cathode and anode
is typically between 2 and 3 mm but it is not found critical.
The particular shape of both electrodes allows them to be cen tered with respect to each
other by mounting them on the reservoir. Particular care was taken to design the gas outlet,
a 2 mm long channel of 0.4 mm in diameter drawn in the boron nitr ide reservoir and located
in front of the cathode. The outlet channel diameter is chose n in such a way that a stable
discharge and a high flux of metastable atoms are reached, eve n at low operating discharge
currents and for gas loads adapted to the speed of the pumps. I t is directly followed by
the anode, a 1 mm thick aluminum disc with a hole of 0.4 mm in dia meter. A particular
feature of the present design is that the anode is cooled to li quid nitrogen temperature. For
efficient cooling it is tightly fixed on the copper container. C rucial for reliable operation of
the discharge is the cleanliness of the cathode and anode. Du ring operation both parts suffer
from impurities of the gas or from the oil vapor of the diffusio n pumps. Our design allows
easy dismantling of the source to clean the electrodes.
The material, the size, the depth and the alignment are cruci al for an efficient excitation
of helium atoms. Best performances were obtained with an alu minum anode with a hole of
diameter at least as large as that of the outlet channel in the boron nitride reservoir. This
ensures that the electrical field lines reach into the source chamber (see fig. 1 b), so that
the discharge extends also into the vacuum at the source exit . The cylindrical design and
the length (30 mm) of the reservoir have been chosen such that no parasitic discharge can
occur competing with the discharge at the source exit when op erated in a pressure range of
10 torrs. The source reservoir is filled with gas via a plastic tube, which isolates the source
from the vacuum chamber. A throttle valve in front of the gas i nlet keeps the pressure high
in the gas tube and suppresses parasitic discharge in the tub e. To avoid contamination of
the source, the helium gas is filtered with charcoal.
32.3 Measurement of the atomic flux and velocity
The source has been tested in a vacuum apparatus consisting o f two vacuum chambers (see
fig. 1), one for the source and one for the beam diagnostic. Bot h chambers are separated
by a skimmer (1 mm diameter) and evacuated by diffusion pumps ( pumping speed of ap-
proximately 800 l/s) equipped with liquid nitrogen traps. D uring operation the pressure in
the source chamber rises to approximately 10−4mbar, in the detection chamber to approx-
imately 10−6mbar. To characterize the atomic beam an in-situ detector wa s constructed,
consisting of a gold mirror and a channeltron (fig. 2). Upon co llision with the mirror surface,
metastable atoms decay down to the ground state and release o ne electron out of the surface,
with a high efficiency [19]. Assuming that each metastable ato m hitting the mirror releases
an electron, one gets a lower limit for the atomic flux by measu ring the current with a pi-
coammeter. The metastable beam can also be pulsed with a mech anical chopper, in order

to perform time of flight measurements. In this case, the curr ent on the gold mirror is too
weak to be detected. The released electrons need to be accele rated towards a channeltron
which detects the amplified current. The pulsed signal of the channeltron is then sent to an
oscilloscope to record the time of flight distribution. To se parate the metastable triplets 23S1
from other species produced by the discharge (UV light, ions , metastable singlet 21S0), the
beam is collimated by diaphragms, and deflected by a laser bea m tuned to the 23S1→23P2
transition (see section 3). From the time of flight measureme nts with and without deflection,
it has been observed that the source essentially produces me tastable atoms which are in the
triplet state. We assume that the singlet state atoms are que nched by the radiation emitted
by the discharge.
2.4 Choice of discharge current and pressure
The efficiency of the source depends on a large variety of param eters: the gas pressure and
temperature, the discharge current, the purity of helium an d the geometry of the discharge.
All these parameters have to be carefully optimized to obtai n the highest maximum flux with
moderate heating. The discharge current and the pressure in side of the gas reservoir were
separately varied as shown in fig. 3. For a given pressure, the production rate of metastable
atoms increases linearly with the current up to 4 mA (fig. 3 a). For higher currents the
rate starts to saturate. With increasing current, the gas te mperature rises locally in the
discharge region due to resistive heating resulting in a hig her atomic velocity (see fig. 3
c). A current of approximately 6 mA was chosen as a compromise between high flux and
low velocities. In figure 3 b), there are two regimes for the pr essure. At lower pressures,
an increase of pressure inside the reservoir results in an in crease of the metastable helium
flux. At higher pressures, an increase of pressure inside the reservoir leads to a decrease of
flux due to quenching of metastable helium atoms by collision s between metastable atoms
in the nozzle region and by collisions with the background ga s. Eventually, if the pressure is
increased passed the background pressure of 3 ×10−4mbar, the metastable helium beam can
be completely quenched. For the vacuum setup described abov e, the optimum pressure was
achieved at approximately 10−4mbar. After optimization of all parameters of the atomic

source, fluxes of triplet metastable atoms of the order of 2 ×1014atoms/sec/steradian were
found, with a mean velocity of 1000 m/s. Using this highly com pact source, the measured
values compare well with the ones obtained in other experime nts [16, 17, 18].
3 The laser system
Earlier experiments on laser cooling and trapping of helium at 1083 nm (transition 23S1→
23P2) were performed using a LNA ring laser, pumped by an argon ion laser [20]. In this
experiment, we use an optical amplifier based on Ytterbium do ped fiber (IRE-POLUS) and
seeded by a diode laser at 1083 nm. This laser source is especi ally efficient to manipulate
metastable helium atoms. Historically, the first Ytterbium fiber amplifier was developed
and characterized in a single stage low amplification configu ration [21]. Later, a double core
prototype of this MOPFA system (Master Oscillation Power Fi ber Amplifier) was built by
S.V. Chernikov [22]. The laser system used in the present exp eriment is shown in figure 4.

IRE-POLUS, has two fiber connections for input and output. Th e output beam is split up in four independent
beams : B1 represents the collimation-deflection beam, B2 th e slowing beam, B3 the MOT beams and B4 the
probe beam.
The seed laser is a single mode DBR laser diode (SDL-6702-H1) emitting at 1083nm and
delivering a maximum power of 50mW. The line width of the lase r diode is reduced from
53 MHz to 250 kHz by an external cavity using a semireflecting mi rror of transmission 80
%, as has already been observed [23]. The laser diode is coupl ed with the fiber amplifier
using bulk optics. Two optical isolators providing a total i solation of 60 dB prevent optical
feedback in the DBR diode. In addition, a set of two birefring ent plates ( λ/2 and λ/4)
of adjustable orientation compensates for the birefringen ce of the amplifier, which slightly
varies with temperature changes and mechanical stress. Thi s adjustment provides the proper
linear polarization at the output of the amplifier. An additi onal 30 dB optical isolator is
placed at its output because the amplifier is sensitive to fee dback from the experiment. The
Yb doped fiber amplifier consists of two amplification stages, both pumped by diode arrays
operating at 970 nm (V-groove side pumping). The second ampl ifying stage (called booster)
is designed for 600 mW saturated output power. It consists of a double clad fiber (DCF)
with an optimized bidirectional side pumping. The angle pol ished connector (APC) at the
output end prevents the amplifier from oscillating. An input power of 1mW is sufficient to
saturate the amplifier and achieve performances independen t of the input level. The amplifier
provides a collimated beam in a TEM00 mode of 0.4 mm waist.
A preliminary study of the frequency noise of the laser sourc e was performed using an
autocorrelation setup and heterodyne detection. It was fou nd that the fiber amplifier did
not cause additional noise to the frequency spectrum of the i njection diode when the diode
is frequency narrowed in an external cavity.
The laser diode is locked -240 MHz away from resonance by satu rated absorption in a low
pressure discharge cell. The fiber-laser light is split up in to four independent beams (see fig.
4): the first one is used to collimate and deflect the atomic bea m, the second one to slow the
beam down, the third one to trap the atoms, and the last one to p robe the trap (see sections
4 and 5). Required frequency for each arm is set by acousto-op tical modulators used in a
double-pass configuration.
4 Laser manipulation: collimation, deflection and decel-
eration
The need for extremely high vacuum in the present experiment requires that the intense
ground state helium beam is prevented from reaching the cell . The metastable beam, initially
merged with the ground-state beam, has then to be spatially s eparated and directed towards
a different axis than the nozzle-skimmer axis. Radiation pre ssure forces are used for this
purpose [24]. For the collimation and the deflection, a power of 75 mW of laser light is used
(beam B1 in the figure 4). This power is evenly split in three : t he first one for vertical
collimation, the second one for horizontal collimation and the last one for deflection. The
effusive beam coming out from the source is highly divergent ( 0.1 rd) and has a uniform
spatial intensity profile. Collimation is thus performed sl ightly off axis, 1◦upwards with
respect to the horizontal axis. Two apertures (a diaphragm a nd a tube) placed off axis
selectively blocks the ground state beam while allowing the metastable state beam to be
deflected by the laser in order to pass through (see fig. 5). The circular aperture (Ø = 5
mm) and the separating tube (Ø = 1 cm, length 10 cm) are 1.2 m apa rt from each other.
They define the new axis of the experiment starting 5 mm above t he nozzle-skimmer one
all the way down towards the cell. The separating tube provid es differential pumping in the
chamber connected to the main slowing magnet and pumped by a t urbo molecular pump
(1000 l/s). We use a vertically movable Faraday cup (Ø = 7 mm) l ocated 1.15 m downstream
from the nozzle to monitor the intensity of the metastable he lium beam (detector D1 in figure
5). For the collimation of the atomic beam in the two transver se directions, we use the so-
called ”zig-zag” configuration of the laser beam [24]. It use s a resonant beam (Ø = 8 mm)
reflecting between two mirrors (3 ×15 cm) sligthly tilted from being parallel to cross the
atomic beam about 10 times. The capture range of the transver se velocity is approximately
20 m/s. The increase in the metastable flux is measured on a pic oammeter (Keithley)
connected to the Faraday cup 1. Although ”white light” can be used to achieve collimation
[24], we did not use it to prevent the broadening of the laser- source linewidth which has
6multiple uses in the experiment. To deflect the collimated be am, we used a curved-wavefront
laser beam in a ribbon shape at resonance. The optimised radi us of curvature is of 5 m. The
deflection keeps the beam collimated with nearly a 100% efficie ncy.
The second Faraday cup D2 (Ø = 8 mm) (see fig. 5), located 2.4 m aw ay form the
tube entry, is used to optimize the flux of the collimated-defl ected beam. Typical currents
measured on D2 are of 20 nA in comparison with 1 nA measured on D 1 when the metastable
beam is neither collimated nor deflected. This corresponds t o a collimated flux of approxi-
mately 2 ×1011atoms/s. To characterize the velocity of the pure triplet me tastable beam,

we performed a time of flight measurement. We used a resonant l aser beam (Ø = 1 cm)
with a light chopper, crossing at right angle with the collim ated-deflected metastable beam,
and a channeltron mounted besides the Faraday cup (D2). The l ight beam acting as an
atom pusher is hidden for a short time period (50 µs) every 10 ms. We recorded the time
of flight spectrum and found a peak velocity of 930 m/s and a rel ative spread (FWHM) of
approximately 30%, which is significantly lower than the unc ollimated beam : this shows
that the collimation-deflection process acts more efficientl y on slow atoms because their in-
teraction time with the laser beams is longer. The metastabl e helium beam is decelerated
by the Zeeman tuning technique [25]. For this purpose, a lase r beam with 15 mW of total
power is increased to a diameter of approximately 2 cm, with a right circular polarisation
and a detuning from resonance of δslo=−240 MHz. The laser beam enters the cell and
propagates anti-parallel to the atom beam. It is resonant wi th atoms having longitudinal
velocity of 1000 m/s at the entrance of the first Zeeman slower . This first Zeeman slower
has a length of 2 m, an inner diameter of 2.2 cm and a field of 540 G . At the end of this first
Zeeman slower, the atomic velocity is approximately 240 m/s . The second Zeeman slower is
approximately 15 cm long with an enclosed tube of 40 mm inner d iameter and creates a field
going from 0 to -140 G. The atoms are slowed down to a final veloc ity of 40 m/s as they exit
the second Zeeman slower. A compensating coil minimizes the magnetic field leakage from
the second Zeeman slower into the cell region.
Control of the successive decelerations was done by a Dopple r sensitive absorption spec-
troscopy method, using a laser-probe beam crossing the cell with an angle of approximately
20◦. Time of flight measurements of the unslowed beam was used to c alibrate the Doppler
detuning with respect to the atom velocity. Velocity measur ements are in good agreement
with simulations of the slowing process.

Figure 6: MOT setup. The MOT beams are perpendicular to the surfaces of the quartz cell. The trapping
scheme requires an extra laser, the repumper (R), which is su perimposed to the Zeeman slowing (ZS) and MOT
beams along the axis of the atomic beam.
5.1 The laser beams geometry
In order to optimize the number of trapped atoms in the MOT, we use a far detuned
(δmot/2π=−45 MHz) and high intensity laser (total intensity I= 50 mW/cm2) (beam
B3 in fig. 4). This laser detuning minimizes inelastic Pennin g collisions between atoms in
the 23S1metastable state and atoms in the 23P2excited state [3, 26, 27, 28]. Our scheme
aims at trapping the gas at the center of a quartz cell of high q uality commercially available
from Hellma (5cm ×5cm×4cm). We use large diameter laser beams (Ø = 2 cm) in order to
capture a large number of atoms. The MOT is as close as possibl e to the slowing magnet end
to allow a higher loading rate. The MOT beams are 6 independen t laser beams crossing the
cell perpendicular to its faces. The two MOT beams along the z direction (see figure 6) are
nearly superimposed with the slowing-laser beam and merged with the atomic beam. The
σ+MOT beam is directed by the mirror M at 45◦incidence and the glass viewport placed
on the vacuum chamber 1 (see figure 5). It propagates along the z-axis through the vacuum
chamber and the Zeeman slowers. The two contrapropagating b eams along the z-axis are
focused onto the mirror M with an edge separated by 1 cm from th e center of the atomic
beam. In this geometry, both the σ+and the σ−of the MOT beams along the atomic
beam axis affect the slowing process. Consequently, several precautions such as the use of
a repumper beam are required for optimization of the MOT as ex plained in the following
section.
5.2 Optimization of the MOT
On one hand, the σ+MOT beam along the z-axis is resonant with the atoms at a given
position in the slowing magnet. It can thus be absorbed by the atoms and accelerate them.
On the other hand, the σ−MOT beam along the z-axis is likely to depolarize the traveli ng
atoms at another position. These two effects have to be correc ted for. The slowing beam
detuning from resonance is δslo/2π=−240 MHz from resonance (beam B2 in fig. 4). During
the slowing process, the velocity of the atom decreases acco rding to the following equation
(1)
δslo+kv=µbB/¯h (1)
where Bandvare the projection along the z-axis of the magnetic field and a tom velocity
respectively. The atoms are spin polarized in the mJ= +1 level during the slowing process,
cycling between the states 23S1, gs= 2, mJ= +1 and 23P2, gp= 3/2, mJ= +2 (see fig. 7).
Theσ+MOT beam, parallel to the atomic beam (see fig. 6), can also ind uce transitions
between these magnetic sublevels, if the following resonan ce condition is fulfilled:
δmot−kv=µbB/¯h (2)
8Eq. (1) and (2) are both satisfied for
2kv+=δmot−δslo (3)
which gives v+= 105 m/s. So, when the velocity becomes v+, which occurs before the
end of the slowing process, in the second part of the Zeeman sl ower, the σ+MOT beam
accelerates the atoms. The net effect results from the intens ity unbalance between the σ+
MOT beam and the slowing beam. If the intensity of the slowing beam is less than the MOT
beam intensity, the σ+MOT beam accelerates the atoms so much that the slowing proce ss
is stopped. One needs to adjust the intensity of the slowing b eam to be higher than the
intensity of the MOT beam to prevent this undesirable phenom enon. We typically use 15
mW/cm2for the slowing beam, which corresponds to 1.5 times the inte nsity of each of the
MOT beams.
In addition, the σ−MOT beam along the z-axis can induce transitions between
23S1, mJ= +1 and 23P2, mJ= 0 sublevels, which depolarize the atoms when they de-
cay to the 23S1, mJ= 0 and mJ=−1 sublevels (see fig. 7). Once the atoms have decayed,
they are no longer resonant with the slowing beam and the slow ing process is stopped. This
actually happens when the following resonance condition is fulfilled:
δmot+kv=−2µbB/¯h (4)
Eq. (1) and (4) are both satisfied for
3kv−=−(δmot+ 2δslo) (5)
which gives v−= 190 m/s. This velocity is also reached in the second part of t he Zeeman
slower. To avoid this problem, we repump the atoms from the mJ= 0 and mJ=−1 sublevels

back to the mJ= +1 sublevel. Two repumping beams are both σ+polarized and resonant
with the transitions 23S1, mJ=−1→23P2, mJ= 0 and 23S1, mJ= 0→23P2, mJ= +1,
at exactly the same magnetic field and the same atomic velocit y at which the depumping
happens (see fig. 7). One calculates that the required freque ncies are detuned by -272.5 MHz
and -305 MHz from the atomic resonance at zero magnetic field. To generate the required
frequencies, we lock a unique additional DBR laser tuned -28 9 MHz from resonance. We RF-
modulate the diode current at 16 MHz. This generates sideban ds into its spectrum. The level
of modulation is optimized to get the maximum intensity into the first two lateral sidebands,
whose frequencies are the ones required for repumping. The p ower in the repumping beam
is approximately 20 mW. It is checked using the absorption me asurement explained earlier
that the repumping process brings back nearly the same flux of slow atoms as in the abscence
of the MOT beams.
95.3 Characterization of the MOT
The atoms are finally confined in a magneto-optical trap. Two c ylindrical coils, separated
by 5.2 cm along the y-axis (see figure 6), create a magnetic gra dient of 40 G/cm along the
symmetry axis for a given current of 5A. The repumper beam typ ically increases the number
of trapped atoms by a factor of 3. Losses are dominated by intr a MOT Penning collisions
[3, 26, 27, 28]. In this regime, the number of trapped atoms go es as the square root of the
loading rate. This increase in the number of atoms implies th at the loading rate is increased
by a factor of 32= 9. Using the repumper beam, we routinely trap approximatel y 109
atoms, in a volume of 0.1 cm3, at a temperature of approximately 1 mK. The temperature is
measured by a time of flight technique [28]. The number of trap ped atoms is inferred from
the measurement of the absorption in a 1 cm diameter probe las er beam, intense enough to
saturate the transition. The size of the MOT is measured by ab sorption imaging on a CCD
Camera.
6 Conclusion
In this article, we report on a new experiment aiming at reach ing BEC with metastable he-
lium atoms. We demonstrate the efficiency and the robustness o f a new discharge source of
metastable atoms and of a bright laser setup using a high powe r fiber amplifier at 1.083 nm
for the manipulation of atoms. For the MOT the original trapp ing scheme requires an addi-
tional laser beam used to repump the atoms during the slowing process. The atomic cloud
is trapped at the center of a small quartz cell. The present se tup has several advantages.
First, it gives a good optical access to the atomic cloud. Thi s allows to further trap atoms in
a strongly confining magnetic trap placed as close possible t o the cell as. Secondly, it allows
to reach extremely low pressures inside the small volume of t he cell. However, the present
setup makes it difficult to use ion detectors or channel plates to detect the metastable atoms.
Further developements of the experiment could include such detectors in an appropriate cell.
Detection is performed in the present setup by purely optica l means. The infrared line or
other visible lines for which CCD cameras have a better efficie ncy can be use for detection.
The present experiment allows to routinely trap approximat ely 109helium atoms in the 23S1
metastable state inside a MOT of 2 mm rms radius.
The setup is currently being modified to add magnetic coils fo r a magnetostatic trap that
will be used in the search for BEC. This Ioffe type trap consist s of three asymmetric coils
plus two large compensation Helmholtz coils, giving a field c onfiguration similar to the QUIC
trap [29]. The gradients are approximately 280 G/cm, the cur vature is 200 G/cm2and the
depth of 33 mK for a current of 50 A. Before loading in the QUIC t rap, the atoms will be first
cooled into a molasse phase, where the field gradient of the MO T is turned off, which should
allow to reach lower temperatures (50 to 100 µK). When a large density of ultracold atoms is
loaded into the Ioffe trap, it will be possible to check the the oretical predictions of [13, ?] on
elastic and inelastic collision rates between metastable a toms at very low temperature. The
measured collision rates will then indicate whether one can achieve BEC using evaporative
cooling, as successfully used with alkali atoms.

In previous work ( physics/0004026) was shown, with the help of numer-
ical calculations, that the effective Brown temperature for charged particle is
lower than that for particle without charge. Here we derive t his result with-
out numerical calculations, integrating the delay equatio n analytically, as for
zero, so for nonzero viscosity.

1.
To describe motion of charged Brown particle in so called ”ex tended
quasi-stationary approximation”[1] in [2] was used the Som merfeld model [3]
of charged rigid sphere. The equation of straightline motio n of such Brown
particle in dimensionless form reads [2]:
˙y(x) =f(x) +γ·[y(x−δ)−y(x)] (1)
here
y(x) - is dimensionless velocity of the particle;
x- is dimensionless ”time”;
f(x) - is some external (stochastic) force;
δ- is ”time” delay;
γ- is coefficient: γ·δis proportional to the ratio of particle’s electromag-
netic mass to the mechanical mass: γ·δ= (2/3)(Q2/a)/(mc2) ( 2a- is the
size of Sommerfeld particle of charge Qand mass m);
the viscosity Γ of the surrounding medium is zero.
In [2] was shown, with the help of numerical calculations, th at the effective
Brown temperature for charged particle is lower than that fo r particle without
charge. Here we derive this result without numerical calcul ations, integrating
the delay equation (1) analytically.

This result differs from (6) only in the multiplier1

Thus one can say that the effect of delay (effect of retardation ) for eq.(1)
reduces to the effect of mass renormalization: m→m/(1+p), or consequently
to the effect of reduction of the external force:
f→f/(1 +p) (9)
This result also says that the reduction of the external forc e is model-independent
one, and instead of γδone can write the classical ratio of self-electromagnetic

This result should be compared with classical one.

If
R(z1−z2) =R0δ(z1−z2)
then
DB=R0x (16)
Consequently we see that (eqs. (16) and (14) ) the dispersion of the Som-
merfeld charged particle is lower than that of the classical Brown particle
without electric charge: D=DB(1 +p)−2. Thus one can say that the ef-
fective temperature of Sommerfeld particle is lower than th at of the Brown
one. This result is model independent one (see the remark mad e above - eq.
(10) ).
So we confirm the result of the work [2].

considerations, using exact results (18,19). Solution (20 ) must tend to the
exact solution (18) (in the case fi=f0=const∀i) if the x-axis is divided
into infinitesimally small δ-intervals: δ→0 and N→ ∞ in such a way that
xN=δ·N=const. Thus one can rewrite
y∗

k=1Dk=f0

so
N/summationdisplay
k=1Dk=1
Γ(1−exp (−aδN)) (21)
Ifδ→0 we can replace the sum in lhs of (21) by the integral:
N/summationdisplay
k=1Dk≈/integraldisplayN
Dkdk=1
Γ(1−exp (−aδN)) (22)
Differentiation of (22) with respect to Nprovides us with this expression for

Substitution of (23) back into (21) gives

Γexp (−aδk) =aδ

Consequently the required result (rhs of (21) ) is reproduce d if we expand
the denominator in (24) in the following way:
exp (aδ)−1≈aδ (24)
Using this representation of Dk, one can find the dispersion D. For cor-

here we expanded the expression exp (2 aδ)−1 in the same manner as in (24):
exp (2 aδ)−1≈2aδ.
Solving the eq.(19) in approximation (24), we find
a≈Γ
(1 +γδ)(26)
So with (26) and (25) the dispersion D takes the form
D=R0
2(Γ)(1 + γδ)(1−exp (−2aδN)) (27)
Dispersion (27) for γ≡0 is exactly the same as Brownian dispersion DB:
DB=R0
2Γ(1−exp (−2ΓxN))
IfaxN≪1, solution (27) yields
D≈R0xN
(1 +γδ)2
6i.e. the solution we have got earlier (14).
IfaxN≫1, (27) yields
D≈R0
2Γ(1 + γδ)=DB
(1 +γδ)
Thus dispersion Ddiffers from the Brownian one. Consequently the effec-
tive temperature of charged particle, undergoing Brownian motion, is lower
then that of particle without charge. Now we have proved this result in
general case of nonzero viscosity. Of course, our general co nclusion is model-
independent one - see the above remark (10).

ABSTRACT
In the frame of Wave Universe Concept (WU Concept) it is presented the alternative approach to the effective
description of Elementar Objects of Matter (EOM) of micro and megaworld hierarchy, in particular, of particles in
subatomic physics.
According to the Wave Universe Concept (WU Concept), discrete spectrum of EOM is close connected,
generate by universal spectrum of physically preferable, elite velocities in the Universe.
The special attantion to analysis and precise description of central set of EOM - stationary states (of EOM) is
payed.
In particular, sufficiently precise representations for mass values, cross relations between masses of main
important objects of particle physics (proton, pion, main mesons, etc.) are obtained.
Obtained representations for the hierarchy of characteristic dimensional parameters, for instance, for the mass
spectrum - mass formula are not contained any divergencies - its are simple, compact, possess clear physical
sence and ha ve not any kind of fitting parameters. With this, the competence field of these representations is
practically indefinitely - apparently, "all" Wave Universe for wide set EOM of micro and megaworld.
ELEMENTAR OBJECTS OF MATTER
Astohishing diversity of real objects of Universe, observed on different Levels of matter, may be considered as
manifestation of nonexhausting creative capacities of Nature.
The most characteristic, wide representable, as possible, the simplest from its with most probability are
attracting in some known concepts as candidates to fundamental, elementary objects of matter (EOM),
representing (and organizing) the observed appearance of Universe.
It is considered evidently, that compositions, combinations such fundamental constituents create and
demonstrate all observed variety of complex systems - at all Levels of the Universe hierarchy.
Elementary Objects of Matter (EOM) – As Wave Dynamic System (WDS)
With any way - speculative, dinamical, physical - of attempt to describe, qualify these or another characteristic
objects or all its taxanomy, we suppose, that the most frequantly asking question: "From what are consist...?" -
don't has the special sense and real perspective.
It is appear as more constructive, fundamental the following conclusion, having far-reaching conseqences
[Chechelnitsky, 1980].
Proposition.
Observed in Universe real objects and most fundamental from its - elementary objects of matter (EOM)-
represent itself, in conceptual plane - the principal Wave dynamic systems (WDS).
Wave (Megawave) aspect of structure of any observed systems of Universe at all Levels of its hierarchy is not
external formal supplement, but is deep internal fundamental basis of its dynamical and physical structure.
VELOCITIES HIERARCHY AND UNIVERSALITY
Hierarchy and Spectrum of Elite Velocities.
The Fundamental wave equation [Chechelnitsky, 1980], described of Solar system (similarly to the atom
system), separates the spectrum of physically distinguished, stationary - elite - orbits, corresponding to mean
quantum numbers N, including the spectrum of permissible elite velocities vN.
It is the follow representation for the physically distinguished - elite velocities vN[s] in G[s] Shells of wave
dynamical (in particular, astronomical) systems (WDS) [Chechelnitsky, 1986]
vN[s] = C∗[s](2π)1/2/N, s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
C∗ [s] = (1/χs-1)⋅C∗ [1]. Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 2
Here
C∗[1] = 154.3864 km⋅s-1 is the calculated value of sound velocity of wave dynamic system (WDS) in the G[1]
Shell, that was made valid by observations,
χ = 3.66(6) - the Fundamental parameter of hierarchy (Chechelnitsky Number χ = 3.66(6)) [Chechelnitsky, 1980
- 1986],
s - the countable parameter of Shells,
N - (Mega)Quantum numbers of elite states,
a) Close to
NDom = 8; 11; 13; (15.5)16; (19,5); (21,5) 22,5 -
for the strong elite (dominant) states (orbits);
b) Close to
N - Integer, Semi-Integer -
for the week elite (recessive) states (orbits).
In the wave structure of the Solar System for planetary orbits of Mercury (ME), Venus (V), Earth (E), Mars (MA),
we have, in particular, N = (2πa/a∗)1/2 (a - semi-major axes of planetary orbits, a∗[1] = 8R/G7E - semi-major axis of TR∗[1]
- Transsphere, R - radius of Sun) [Chechelnitsky, 1986]
N = 8.083; 11.050; 12.993; 16.038, close to integer
N = 8; 11; 13; 16.
Taking into account Ceres (CE) orbit and transponating in G[1] (from G[2]) planetary orbits of Uranus - (U),
Neptune - (NE), Pluto - (P), it may be received the general representation for observational dominant N
TR∗ ME TR V E (U) MA (NE) CE (P)
N= (2π)1/2=2.5066 8.083 (2π)1/2χ=9.191 11.050 12.993 15.512 16.038 19.431 21.614 22.235
It may be show, that
N = N∗ = (2π)1/2=2.5066 (critical - transspheric value) and
NTR=χ(2π)1/2 ≅ 9.191
also are physically distinguished (dominant) N values [Chechelnitsky, 1986].
Extended Representation
It is possible, in principle, examine the following substitution
1/N → ς / N# or N → N#/ς
and extended formula for elite velocities
vN[s] = C∗[s](2π)1/2(ς / N#), s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
ς , N# - integer.
In that case, for instance, the previouns condition N - semi - integer will be indicate (for the set of integer
numbers) the condition
ς =2, N# - integer,
and thus, - the substitution N → N#/2.
General Dichotomy
Very close (to discussed above) variant of description of physically distinguished states may be possible with
using of effective approximation, proposing by the General Dichotomy Law [Chechelnitsky, 1992]. Connected with
it compact representation for the N quantum number has the explicit form
Nν = Nν=0·2ν/2, Nν=0 = 6.5037
that depends from countable parameter
ν = k/2, k=0,1,2,3,...
It follows, in perticular, to exponential, (power) dependen ce for a semi-major axes
aν[s] = aν=0[s] 2ν,
aν=0[s] = a∗[s] (Νν=0)2/2π,
In the some sense - this is expansion and gene ralization to all WDS of Universe of the well-known Titius-Bode
Law for the planetary orbits.
Such idealazing model representation - the General Dychotomy Law (GDL) - gives approximate, but easy
observed description of the set of distinguished (dominant) orbits.
Universal Spectrum of Elite Velocities in the Universe.
Megaworld and Microworld (Quasars and Particles).
Proposition.
The spectrum of physically distinguished elite (dominant) velocities vN[s] and quan tum numbers N of arbitrary Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 3
wave dynamic systems (WDS) have the some universal peculiarity. It practically is identical - universal (invariant)
for all known observed systems of Universe (of megaworld and microworld).
In particular, velocities spectrum of experimentally well investigated Solar and satellite systems practically
coincide for observed planetary and satellite - dominant orbits, corresponding to some (dominant) values of
quantum numbers NDom. Thus it may be expected, that spectrum of elite (dominant - planetary) velosities of the
Solar system (well identificated by observations) may be effectivelly used as quite representive - internal
(endogenic) - spectrum of physically distinguished, well observed - elite (dominant) velocities, for example, of far
astronomical systems of Universe [Chechelnitsky, 1986, 1997] and of wave dynamic systems (WDS) - elementary
objects of subatomic physics.
Quantization of Circulation and Velocity.
We once more repit in the compact form the important conclusion which was obtained in the monograph
(Chechelnitsky, 1980) and repeatedly underlined afterwards.
Proposition (Quantization of Velocities).
In the frames of Wave Universe Concept and Universal wave dynamics
# The fundamental properties of discreteness, quantization of wave dynamic systems (WDS) - objects both
mega and microworld - are connected not only with discreteness, quantization of

vvv) Together with the relating to its sizes (lengths) - a - semi-major axes of orbits and T - periods (frequencies).
Universality of Observed,
Physically Distinguished Velocities
From the point of view of experimental investigations of real systems of Universe the Law of Universality of Elite
(Dominant) velocities may be briefly formulated as follows
Proposition (Universality of Elite –
(Dominant) Velocities in Universe).
# Detectable in experiments and observations velocities of real systems of Universe - from objects of microworld
(subatomic physics) to objects of megaworld - astronomical systems - with the most probability belong to the
Universal Spectrum of elite (dominant) velocities of Universe.
# This Universal Spectrum of Velocities in the sufficient approximation may be represented in the form:
vN[s] = C∗[s](2π)1/2/N, s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
C∗[s] = (1/χs-1)⋅C∗[1].
General Homological Series of Sound Velocities
Once more let pay our attention to the hierarchy of sound velocities, that is definded by the recurrence relation
C∗[s] = (1/χs-1)⋅C∗[1] s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
In view of its special important significance and possibility of following generalizations we will to name it "The
General Homological Series (GHS) of sound velocities". By the quality of generative member in that series
essentially it is used, for instance, the
C∗[1]=154.3864 km⋅s-1
- value of sound velocity in G[1] Shell of WDS.
As a matter of fact, that is primary source (eponim) of that series.
Of course, as the capacity of primary source may be used any member of that series.
Testimony (Evidence) for that is only most knowlege reliability of that value - its experimental definiteness
(determination).
Fundamental Parameter of Hierarchy.
At 70-th in investigation of wave structure of Solar system [Chechelnitsky, 1980] it have been d iscovered
significent arguments for existance of Shell structure, hierarchy and similarity - dynamical isomorphysm - of Solar
system Shells.
First of all, that concerned to dynamical isomorphysm of clearly observed G[1] and G[2] Shells, connecting Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 4
respectively with I (Earth's) and II (Jovian) groups of planets.
It was determined that arrangement of physically distinguished - elite (particularly powerful, strong -dominant)
orbits of Mercury in G[1] (and Jupiter in G[2]), Venus in G[1] (and Saturn in G[2]) Shells brightly underline the similarity
of geometry and dynamics of processes, flowing in these Shells, with accuracy up to the some scale factor.
As the quantitative characteristics of that isomorphysm, the recalculation coefficient χ - Fundamental parameter
of hierarchy (FPH) - may be used the ratio, for instance, of
# (Keplerian) orbital velocities v
vME/vJ=47.8721 km⋅s-1/13.0581 km⋅s-1=3.66608 ⇒ χ ,
vV /vSA=35.0206 km⋅s-1/9.6519 km⋅s-1=3.62836 ⇒ χ ,
# Sectorial velocities L
LJ/LME=1.01632⋅1010km2⋅s-1/0.27722⋅1010 km2⋅s-1=3.66608 ⇒ χ ,
LSA /LV=1.37498 ⋅1010 km2⋅s-1/0.37895 km2⋅s-1=3.628357⇒ χ ,
# Semi-major axes a
aJ /aME=5.202655 AU /0.387097 AU =
= 13.440164=(3.666082)2 ⇒ χ2 ,
aSA/aV= 9.522688 AU /0.723335 AU =
= 13.164975 = (3.628357)2 ⇒ χ2 ,
# Orbital periods T (d - days)
TJ/TME=4334.47015d/87.96892d=49.272744=(3.666082)3 ⇒ χ3 ,
TSA/TV=10733.41227d/224.70246d = 47.76722=(3.6283568)3 ⇒ χ3.
In the published at 1980 monograph [Chechelnitsky,1980] (date of manuscript acception - 11 May 1978) this
dynamical isomorphysm, similarity of geometry and dynamics of physically distinguished orbits of I (Earth's) and II
(Jovian) groups were analized.
According to the content of "Heuristic Analysis" division [Chechelnitsky, 1980, pp.258-263, Fig.17,18] similarity
coefficient - recalculation scale coefficient of megaquants
ΔΙ =LME/3=0.924⋅109 km2⋅s-1
ΔΙΙ =L
J /3=3.388⋅109 km2⋅s-1
of L - sectorial velocities (actions, circulations) of I and II groups of planets is equal
Δ ΙΙ / ΔΙ = L J /LME =3.66(6) ⇒χ
It was not surprise, that transition to another Shells of Solar (planetary) system (to Trans-Pluto and Intra-
Mercurian Shells) would be characterized with the same χ − Fundamental parameter of hierarchy (FPH) χ=3,66(6).
Universality of FPH
Analysis of (mega)wave structure of physically autonomous satellite systems of Jupiter, Saturn, etc., indicated,
that discovered χ Fundamental parameter of hierarchy (FPH) plays in its the similar essential role, as in the Solar
(planetary) system, characterizing the hierarchy, recursion and isomorphysm of Shells.
Thus, it takes shape the essentially universal character of (FPH) - its validity for the analysis of (mega)wave
structure of any WDS.
That corresponds to representations, connected with co-dimension principle [Chechelnitsky, 1980, p.245]:
"...fundanental fact is that when we pass on to another WDS, the value of /GFF [character value of sectorial
velocity (action, circulation)] doesn't remain constant, but varies according scales of these systems. This fact is the
consequence of co-dimension principle ..."
"Magic Number"("Chechelnitsky Number", FPH) χ χ=3,66(6).
Role and Status of Fundamental Parameter of Hierarchy
in Universe.
Previous after primary publications [Chechelnitsky, 1980-1985] time and new investigations to the full extent
convince the theory expectations, in particular, connected with the G[s] Shells hierarchy in each of such WDS, with
the hierarchy of Levels of matter (and WDS) in Universe, with the exceptional role of the introduced in the theory χ
FPH [Chechelnitsky, (1978) 1980-1986].
The very brief resume of some aspects of these investigations may be formulated in frame of following short
suggestion.
Proposition (Role and Status of χ FPH in Universe) [Chechelnitsky, (1978) 1980-1986]
# Τhe central parameter, which organizes and orders the dynamical and physycal structure, geometry, hierarchy
of Universe
∗ "Wave Universe (WU) Staircase" of matter Levels,
∗ Internal structure each of real systems - wave dynamic systems (WDS) at any Levels of matter, is
(manifested oneself) χ - the Fundamental Parameter Hierarchy (FPH) - nondimensional number χ =3,66(6). Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 5
# It may be expected, that investigations, can show in the full scale, that χ - FPH, generally speeking, presents
and appea res everywhere - in any case, - in an extremely wide circle of dynamical relations, which reflect the
geometry, dynamical structure, hierarchy of real systems of Universe.
We aren't be able now and at once to appear all well-known to us relations and multiple links, in which oneself
the [Chechelnitsky] χ=3.66(6) "Magic Number" manifests.
We hope that all this stands (becomes) possible in due time and with new opening opportunities for the
publications and communications.
STATIONARY STATES.
Spectrum of Masses (of EOM). Mass Formulae.
In the frame of Wave Universe Concept even for extent time (for the own perspective investigations of WDS of
various hierarchy Levels of Universe) we use the following representation for the spectrum of mass of stationary
states.
We cite it with hope in potentially wide employment in various, occasionally, far (distant) extending domain of
knowledge (for instance, - in particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology).
MN[s]=M∗[s]N2/2π, s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
M∗[s]=(χ2)sM∗[0]=(χ2)s-1M∗[1]
More detail representation is possible.
Spectrum of Masses. Mass Formulae.
The description of mass of stationary states is possible in the frame of following assertion.
Proposition
Characteristic spectrum of masses of certain U(k) matter Level may be represented in form
MN(k)=M∗(k)N2/2π, k=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
Here k - contable parameter, that determines U(k) Level of matter, N - main quantum number.
Preferable values of N belong to set physically distinguished
∗ Elite states;
and among them - to the more restricted subset of elite states -
∗ Dominant states - strong elite states.
Generative ("Transspheric", critical, General) M∗(k) mass, which formes the mass spectrum of examined U(k)
local Level of matter, itself belong to the General Homological series (GHS) of masses
M∗(k)=χkM∗(0), k = ...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...,
M∗(0) - physically distinguished, certain existing, real observed generative mass, will be say, primary-image
(eponim) mass (it may be any the well-known from M∗(k)),
χ - Fundamental Parameter of Hierarchy (FPH) (Chechelnitsky Number χ = 3.66(6)).
Matter Levels and Shells.
By special, preferable - more rare - set of matter Leveles U(k) it may be considered the sequence - hierarchy of
matter Levels, when generative mass M∗[s] belongs to the General Homological Series (GHS) of mass
M∗[s]=(χ2)sM∗[0], s = ...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
In other words - this is Even subset of matter Levels U(k) at k = 2s, M∗(0) = M∗[0]
Such hierarchy of U(2s) = U[s] matter Levels corresponds (in some sense equivalent) to G[s] Shells hierarchy, that
is wide analysed in structure of WDS.
So, the mass spectrum, close connected with G[s] Shell structure, may be represented at following compact
form
MΝ[s]=M∗[s]N2/2π, s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
M∗[s]=(χ2)sM∗[0]
General Homological Series of Masses
What value must be choosed (selected) as M∗[0] - generative ("transspheric", critical) - General value of mass?
It must be comprehend also, that sampling of only one value of the primary - image (eponim) M∗(0) = M∗[0] (or, for
instance, M∗[2]), essentially, signifies also sampling of the whole of General Homological Series (GHS) of masses
(or General Homology of masses)
M∗(k)=χkM∗(0), k = ...,-2,-1,0,1,2,....
Such choosing is not only formal, only mathematical operation. It must be dictated by physics, objective reality, Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 6
observations.
It may be show by "appearance order" (i.e. by justified, convincing consequences), that such mass is mπ (the
mass of π±-meson) or M2p=2mp mass of Di-proton (or Deuteron). In terms of unique Homological series - that is,
essentially, the same.
Di-proton (Deuteron) and pion (π± - meson) belong to the same (General) Homological series (GHS), in other
words, its generate the same General Homology of masses.
Each of its may be considered as primary-image (eponim) of Homological series.
This affirmation may be convinced to true immediately.
We have, according to [RPP], for Di - proton mass
M2p = 2mp = 2·938.27231 = 1876.5446 Mev/c2
and for π± - meson (pion) mass
mπ = 139.56995 Mev/c2
the ratio
M2p/mπ = 13.44519 = χ2.
The following from that quantity value χ = 3.666(7684) coinsides with standard, accepted value of χ = 3.66(6) -
Fundamental parameter of hierarchy (FPH).
This result may be also considered as one of possible experimental determination of χ - FPH (in microworld).
Pion, Di-proton and χ χ constant.
Once more we point importance of the following observation.
Proposition
# Masses of mπ pion, m2p Di-proton and value of χ FPH are connected (group together) by the following relation
M2p/mπ =2mp/mπ=13.44519 = χ2.
# That relation in some specific sense may be considering as experimental definition of χ FPH .
It will be good for consequent calculations the following relation between mp and me.
Proposition
# By using equation
mπ/me=β2α-1
# The relation between fundamental masses mp and me may be express by the formula
mp/me=βχ2/α=1836.1527,
where β=0.996623 is approximating coefficient (β∼1).
Thus, the following assertions open possibilities of the wide using of mass spectrum representation in various
ranges (spans) of masses.
Proposition
The General Homological series (GHS) of masses
M∗(k)=χkM∗(0), k = ...,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,...,
and
M∗[s]=(χ2)sM∗[0] , M∗(0) = M∗[0] s = ...,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,...,
are is completely represented by the π± - meson - Di - proton GHS (or π - D Homology) of masses.
For the definiteness (and there have specific physical sense) it may be considered, that for GHS of masses
M∗[s]=(χ2)sM∗[0] s = ...,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,...
valid M∗[1] = mπ, M∗[2] = M2p = 2mp = 1876.5446 Mev/c2
and then M∗[2] = χ2M∗[1] = M2p = 2mp
In this circumstances GHS of masses
M∗[s] = (χ2)s-1M∗[1]] = (χ2)s-2M∗[2], s = ...,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,...
become fully definite (by Chechelnitsky Number χ=3,66(6)) and containing following set - hierarchy of masses
(fragment) M∗[s] ⇒ ..., M∗[0]=10.3816, M∗[1]=139.575, M∗[2]=1876.5446, M∗[3]=25228.6 Mev/c2,...
Even Homology.
It is interesting to point, that discussed above U(k)=U(2s) subset of matter Levels may qualified as Even (k=2s)
subset, and GHS - as Even Homology of mass related to M∗[0] prime image (eponim).
Odd Homology.
It is clear, that (residual) remaining (in U(k) set) the U(k)=U(2q+1) subset of matter Levels, may consider as Odd
subset, and in M∗(k) Homological series (M∗(k) HS) of mass the remaining set - special series Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 7
M∗[q] = χ(χ2)qM∗[0] = χ 2q+1M∗[0]
is Odd (k=2q+1) Homology of mass.
It may be shown, that this Odd Homological series (Odd HS) have the nontrivial physical sense.
MICROWORLD (SUBATOMIC WORLD). STATIONARY STATES MASS SPECTRUM.
THEORY AND EXPERIMENTS.
Calculations that use the discussed above representations for the mass hierarchy discover, essentially, new
world of dynamical accordances, propose possibilities for constructive interpretations of dynamical structure of
known from experiments stationary states and resonances of subatomic world.
Stationary States of G[1] Shell: Population of Pion (π π± ± meson).
Presentation of stationary states dynamical spectrum we shall from, it will be say, population of π± meson.
This is matter Level, that corresponds to the G[1] Shell (s=1), matter Level G[1] (or k=2s=2, U(k)=U(2)).
Mass spectrum is generated by one of components (π± meson mass)
M∗[1] = mπ ≅ 139.575 Mev/c2
that belongs to π–D General Homological Series (π–D GHS).
Mass spectrum of stationary states seems stonishingly saturated [Table 1].
The ϒ ϒ Family.
It is interesting to point, that spectrum of ϒ states, that is detected in experiments (see RPP), also belongs to
periphery of G[1] Shell - with large (periphery) values of N quantum number.
Stationary States of G[2] Shell: Population of Di-proton.
The corresponding to G[2] Shell (s=2, k=2s=4, U(k)=U(4)) matter Level is generated by physically distinguished
state of Di-proton (Deuteron).
In the Table 2 it is use mass value M∗[2]=2mp=1876.51 Mev/c2 that belongs to π–D GHS (π–D Homology).
It is presented the comparision of theoretically calculated masses of stationary states (also is presented the
theoretical calculation by General Dichotomy) with collected data of experiments (estimations also, etc.) from [RPP]
(Table 2).
At initial stage of search investigations it is hardly advisible to develop too rigid selection, based on customary
preferences of the past. So, to the comparison with the theory it is attracted, as it possible, most wide material.
Stationary States of G[3] Shell.
Mass spectrum of stationary states, connected with G[3] Shell, is represented in Table 3.
It is generated by the mass M∗[3] = χ22mp = 25.2286 Gev/c2 that belongs to π–D GHS (π–D Homology) [Table 3].
Stationary States of G[4] Shell.
Mass spectrum of stationary states, connected with G[4] Shell, is represented in Table 4.
It is generated by the mass M∗[4] = χ42mp=0.339 Tev/c2 that belongs to π–D GHS (π– D Homology).
It is possible that modern and future HEP in high degree will be connected with manifestation of stationary
states of G[3], G[4] and later Shells.
Another Levels of Matter.
Stationary States of G[-2] Shell.
Mass spectrum of stationary states of G[-2] Shell is generated by mass
M∗[-2] = χ -82mp =0.05743 Mev/c2
that belongs to π–D GHS. The state ME (N=8.083) of G[-2] Shell
M = 0.5973 Mev/c2 ,
that is close to electron mass me = 0,51099906 Mev/c2 draws the most attention..
In frame of this G[-2] Shell to the experimental value of electron quantum number N the value
N = (2πM∧)1/2 = 7.477054, M∧ = me/M∗[-2] = 8.89777,
P∧ = 2πM∧ = 55.9053
corresponds.
It lies at the interval permissible, often observing N values, for instance, of elite states in Solar (planetary)
system and satellite systems of planets. Observed in the system of Saturn S1 (Mimas) satellite has N=7.380, in the Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 8
system of Jupiter J2 (Europe) satellite - N=7.680.
It is interesting to point that M∧, P∧ close to integer and (N) - to semi-integer (that is patterns of wave stability).
Stationary States of G[0] Shell.
The mass spectrum of G[0] Shell also demonstrates the physical significantness of description of mass
spectrum. Physically preferable mass, that belongs to π−D GHS (π−D Homology)
M∗[0] = 10.3816 Mev/c2
generates the mass spectrum of stationary states, that corresponds to (elite) dominant NDom values (see Table 5).
First of all, it may be pointed, that in mass spectrum the stationary states are discovered, that correspond to
ones detected in experiments π-meson and ρ−meson.
It may be waited that many of other mesons correspond also to periphery elite (may be, not so strong, as
dominant) values of N quantum number. For instance, for the η′ (958) meson with m = 957.77 Mev/c2 we have
quantum number
N = (2πm/M∗[0])1/2 = 24.0762
that is close to integer.
Subset of Neutrino.
It is possible, that with increasing of mass precision it may be stated, that part of neutrino ντ (for which now only
up limits of masses is indicated) indeed belongs to stationary states of G[0] Shell (see Table 5, TR state).
Stationary state - muon.
Finally, the last but not least, in the population of dominant - stationary states of G[0] Shell (Table 5) it is
discovered the state with M = 107.97 Mev/c2 mass, evidently close to indeed corresponding (as indicate analysis)
muon state. Even for concidered only for first main approximation, the achieved precision must be concidered in
sufficient degree acceptable, especially at background of low accuracies of few known in particle physics mass
formulae (as Gell-Mann-Okubo, etc.) Nevertheless, problem of more precise corresponding of theoretical and
experimental masses of muon must be specially considered.
Mistery of muon.
The physical nature of muon, latent sense of it existence, it's true status in theoretical physics lies in the center
of attention at even many decades. That is how this that problem is sounded b y Nobel Prizer M.Perl [Perl,
1995(1996)]: "There are two puzzles, connected with electron and muon. The first puzzle: ... properties of these
particles relate to interactions the same, but the muon at 206,8 times more heavy. Why?
The second puzzle was connected with that muon is not stable and desintegrate (decay) by the time 2,2⋅10-6
sec...
To the end of 1950 electron-muon problem (e−µ problem) consisted from two parts:
1. Why the muon at 206,8 times more heavy then electron?
2.Why the muon is not desintegrated by the way
µ− → e− + γ ?"
In reality that expression is continued the tradition which exist (before) him. In the frame of discussed approach
it may be discovered, that "experimental" value of N quantum number in the G[0] Shell for the observed mass of
muon
mµ = 105.658389 Mev/c2 is equal to
N = (2πmµ /M∗[0])1/2 = 7,9966806,
that is close to integer.
In that case the P∧ = 2πmµ /M∗[0] = 63.9469 is the value of azimutal quantization, that is also close to integer.
These kind of properties in the Wave Universe Concept are patterns, the indicators of increased stability of wave
configurations.
The e - µ µ Similarity
Our answer to questions, connected with pointed by more investigatores similarity of electron and muon
properties, in the limited brief form may be stated as follows.
Proposition.
# The electron and muon similarity is close connected with that both belong (close to) ME dominant level (in the
N = 7.6 - 8 region).
# The difference of electron and muon properties is connected with that its belong to ME dominant levels of
different G[-2] and G[0] Shells.
# With that distinction, evidently, the known difficult in µ− → e− + γ - decay is connected, becouse that is decay Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 9
in the e stay, that belongs to comparatively far distant G[-2] Shell.
# In general it may be stated, that the muon is neighboring (in the sense of ME dominant level) recurrention of
electron in the another distant G[0] Shell.
Stationary States of G[-7] Shell. Set of Neutrino.
As the information for the following analysis it may be shown the mass spectrum of stationary states, that
belongs to some (decade) ev/c2 range.
This is the region (of G[-7] Shell, Table 6), that with most probability corresponds to νe electron neutrino states
[see RPP].
It may be waited, that with increasing of experiments precision it will be discovered the more correspondence of
experimental values not of only one, but all spectrum of electron neutrino, to the theoretically predicted mass
spectrum of G[-7] Shell (and lieing down by masses G[s] Shells).
Hierarchy, Recurrences, Isomorphysm.
Transponation - As Effective Tool of Analysis and Extrapolation.
Wide potential possibilities of EOM investigations in the frame of Wave Universe Concept are close connected
∗ With - constructing by theory and observing in reality - WDS Hierarchy at each discrete Level of matter,
∗ With dynamical isomorphism of real objects - as similar (in structure) WDS,
∗ With recurrent appearence of analogous properties at different Levels of matter.
That open possibility of wide use of the effective tool of analysis and extrapolation - it will be say, (Tool of)
Transponation.
Shortly saying, all this is signify the possibility of constructive carry - resonable (controlled by experiments and
observations) extrapolation - of clearly observed properties of WDS, its stationary states at some U(k) Level of
matter (at some G[s] Shell) - to another U(k+p) Level of matter (to another G[s+r] Shell).
For instance, values of NNE, NP quantum numbers, corresponding to dominant (planetary) orbits of Neptune and
Pluto, definited in G[2] Shell of the Solar system may be transponate in it G[1] Shell as N(NE), N(P).
In general case, some properties of components of Homological (by χ - FPH) series (HS) may in some sense be
considered as similar. The carry-over - Transponation of knowledge abou t this - at large "distances" by "Wave
Universe (WU) Staircase" (by different scales) can give "board" for special examinations for initiative, euristical
searches.
Alternative Aspect of Z0 Gauge Boson
According to RPP, Z0 gauge boson has the mass
m(Z0)= 91.187± 0.007 Gev/c2
Its charge is equal to zero.
# From the point of view of discussed here approach WU Concept it is not difficult to prove in validity of following
relations
M = χ5m(π0) = 3.66665⋅134.9764 = 89457.136 Mev/c2
M = χ5m(π±) = 3.66665⋅139.56995 = 92501.56 Mev/c2
As it is easily seen, Z0 boson mass lies in the interval (range) between these calculated values.
So, it may be concluded follow
Proposition.
# In the principal aproximation the mass of Z0 heavy boson is represented in form
M = χ5mπ = χ3 2mp = 92506.67Mev/c2=92.506Gev/c2
# It belongs to Odd (k=2q+1) subset of M(k) mass General Homological series of Di-proton
M(k)= χk M∗(0), k=2q+1, q = -2,-1,0,1,2,3,...
at q=3 (k=7), if M∗(4) =M∗[2]=2mp,
# That is coinside also with fact, that heavy Z0 boson is the elite state of G[2] Shell (M∗[2]=2mp=1.8765 Gev/c2)
with N quantum number close to N≅17.5.
# Heavy W± boson is also elite state the same G[2] Shell with N close to and N≅16.5 (see Table 2).
Universal Invariant of Energy – Temperature.
It is interesting to point the following nontrivial fact.
Proposition
# Universal Hierarchies of
- physically distinguished, elite (dominant) vN[s] velocities
- and MN[s] masses
in Universe are not independen t,
but are generated by some, with its connected, Universal Invariant (UI)
E = 2TKin = 2(1/2)MN[s](vN[s])2 = MN[s](vN[s])2 =const ⇒ Invar Chechelnitsky A. M. Elementar Objects of Matter:
Universality, Hierarchy, Isomorphysm, Dynamical Spectrum 10
# It is essentially, that Universal Invariant (UI) of E Energy (H Hamiltonian)
H=E=2TKin
also may be considered
- and as Universal Invariant of T Temperature
T=(1/3k)E=const,
where k =1.3807⋅10-16 erg⋅K-1 - Boltzmann constant.
# Numerical value (of right part - const) of that Energy UI is equal to
E=const=E∗[2]=M∗[2](C∗[2])2=2mp(C∗[2])2=0.593066⋅10-10 erg=37.016 ev,
where mp =1.672623⋅10-24g,
C∗[2] = 42.10538 km⋅s-1 = 0.4210538 ⋅107cm⋅s-1,
1 erg = 6.2415⋅1011 ev,
and of that Temperature UI is equal to
T = const = T∗[2] = (1/3k)E∗[2] = 143180.12 K°.
Genesis, sense, significance of that astonishing, mysterious Invariant in Universe may be represented as the
object of special examination.
There are immence amount of evident and less evident consequances, effects, associations, continuations, that
immediately imply or connected with approaches, ideas of WU Concept. By virtue of clear causes, we are not able
to present its in all totality, at once, simultaneously. We hope, its will make up the object of consequent
publications.
DISCUSSION
Main ideas and results of discussed aproach are obtained by author long ago.
Its for a long time kept lie, subjected to the critical analysis, comprehend, overgrowning by details and by more
convinced argumentation - and waited till own hour for a publication.
Previous several decades of intensive investigations, connected with development of basic ideas of the Wave
Universe Concept, created the fundamental base for break in new, early unexperienced range of knowledge. Value
of receiving results is extremely extensive. Majority from its still remain nonpublished.
Suggesting continuations, consequances of WU Concept ideas, often, such natural and evident, that it may be
waited in not far future appearences of works and pape rs of another advanced researchers, where these results
will be rediscovered, developed in details.
The alternative character of the aproach too evident, it opens unexpected perspectives and those possible
circumstanies and new problems, which, frequently, arise with proposals and appea rences of principally new ideas.
Why, as Niels Bohr said, - "Problems are more important, then decisions - solutions can be ob solete, but
problems - never".

Phantom of Higgs Boson Versus Hierarchy of Stationary
States of Superhigh Energies.
ABSTRACT
As is known, the Standard Model mainly ideologically and
qualitatively focuss the experimenters in their search of new mass
states (of EP- elementary particles). The exact quantitative
prognosis of their properties, especially of masses, lays outside
opportunities of the usual theory.
Model of Stationary states of EP within the framework of the
Wave Universe Concept [Chechelnitsky, 1980-2001] points on
existence of Hierarchy of physically distinguished - stationary (elite,
dominant) states described by the mass formulas, in particular, in a
range 10÷210 Gev/c2:
The states close to…, 101.5; 107.3; 112.76÷113; 139.5÷143;
147.6; 202 Gev/c2 should be observed.
Apparently, the experiment already confirms this prognosis
in a range up to 100 Gev/c2. You see preferable states, observable
already now in experiment, it - not rejected by the usual theory as
the candidates in constituents of Standard model (for example, not
holding Higgs bosons), but quite real displays of stationary (first of
all, - dominant) mass states.
Last data of L3 (CERN) Collaboration really specify displays
of new mass states and close to 103.7; 108.9; 114.5 Gev/c2.

Phantom of Higgs Boson Versus Hierarchy
of Stationary States of Superhigh Energies 5
RANGE 12-210 Gev/c2: "GREAT DESERT"?
On a bounda ry of centuries formed in physics of high
energies situation is characterized by some remarkable
circumstances:
# According to prevailing representations of Standard
model the extreme efforts of physical community are still
concentrated on search and judgement of postulated basic
constituents of the theory – of bosons, realizing weak
interaction (Z0 - neutral currents, W± - charged currents) and
of Higgs bosons /G470, responsible for observable in
experiments manifestation of real masses.
# It is considered, that observable mass states in area of
masses /G46=80.3 Gev/c2, /G46=91.2 Gev/c2 is just those carriers
(quantums) of interaction, which are responsible for weak
interaction.
# Nowadays at the centre of attention there is a search of
Higgs boson /G470 [Felcini, 2000; Tully, 2000; Acciarri et al.,
2000].
# As the theory essentially is not capable precisely to
point, in particular, major parameter – mass of /G470 boson (as
however – and mass of top-quark), the search is conducted
by the tested way - "At random".
# This "method" already is compelled was applied at total
"combing" of a range /G46=80.3 Gev/c2, resulted to detection of
mass configurations in area /G46=80.3 Gev/c2, /G46=91.2 Gev/c2.
You see here again there were no precise and exact
indications of the theory on localization of required states on
a scale of masses.
# The rather specific characteristics of postulated Higgs
boson /G470 result to hard selection of the potential candidates.
Many really observable mass states are rejected as
unsufficiently valid the candidates in /G470 bosons.
By virtue of a similar sort of the factors, traditions and
preferences in representation of physical community there is
a following picture of HEP on a bounda ry of centuries.
# From 10 up to 210 Gev/c2 and, probably, further “Great
Desert " reaches, where, as it is considered, there are no
mass states, deserving attention.
# Above it the peaks W±, Z0 of bosons tower as area of
Everest only.
6 Chechelnitsky A. M.
# Till now fruitless search of Higgs boson is conducted
(for the present).
# But still adepts of Standard model are complete of
optimism. As is known, - the theorists frequently are
mistaken, but never doubt.
Crisis of Belief.
We suppose, that such picture, dictating by preferences of
the prevailing theory, in many respects, will disorient not only
theorists, but, main, - the experimenters conducting intense,
extremely difficult search in a rich fog of unverified opinions,
were guided only by assurances of authorities.
The situation too obviously reminds fantastic "Go there - I
do not know where". But main, - the dominated dogmas of
habitual representations extremely narrow prospects of
experimental search.
There is a hunt only at widely known Phantoms of the
prevailing theory.
Other Horizons.
Other prospects are offered by system of representations
connected with Wave Universe Concept (WU Concept)
[Chechelnitsky (1978) 1980-2000].
As against Standard model not capable to point exactly,
for example, localization of new states on a scale of mass,
the offers of WU Concept are rather critical.
The offered mass spectrum of new stationary states
[Chechelnitsky, 2000] is quite certain and is unequivocal. It
can be veryfied- confirmed or denied by an obvious way by
experiment.
Panorama Represented by an G[2] Shell.
The picture offered by WU Concept for forward edge of
HEP is rather certain [see also Chechelnitsky, 2000].
# There is a whole set of physically distinguished - elite
(among them - strongest - dominant) states in area of
masses
M = 10 - 210 Gev/c2.
# This cluster of stationary states we shall present by an
G[2] Shell. The mass spectrum of dominant (elite) states is Phantom of Higgs Boson Versus Hierarchy
of Stationary States of Superhigh Energies 7
described by the Mass formulas for stationary states
[Chechelnitsky, 2000] (see. the Tables 1,2,3).
# In a range up to /G46 ∼100 Gev/c2 should be observed the
dominant states in area
12.6, 17.8÷19.5, 25.2, 35.7÷36.5, 50.4, 71.4÷71.8, 76.8
Gev/c2.
# Separate theme - true physical sense and na ture of
detected in experiment states with masses close to /G46 =
80.84 Gev/c2 and to /G46 = 91.2 Gev/c2. Its - states laying close
to elite values of the Main quantum number N = 16.5 and
17.5.
# On periphery of an G[2] Shell in area of masses 100 -
200 Gev/c2 extend the Transitive zone (it - dynamic analogue
of Transitive zones of asteroids and comets in Shells G[1] and
G[2] of Solar system [Chechelnitsky,1986,1992,1999]). It is
necessary to expect, that detected in this range the mass
states will be, generally speaking, less steady, than states in
another (with smaller masses) half of G[2] Shell.
Perspective Search.
# New Renessance – manifestation of new mass states
(following behind a Transitive zone of fading, less steady
states in an G[2] Shell) it is necessary to expect at detecting
of physically distinguished - (elite) dominant states in area of
the following G[3] Shell. It is a range of masses
/G46 = 170 - 2700 Gev/c2.
# Mass spectrum of dominant states laying in the
subsequent range
/G46 = 2.28 ÷ 36.5 /G4Cev/c2
is represented by an G[4] Shell.
All this - perspective field of researches of HEP of new
century.
The spectrum of potentially arising mass configurations,
which will be met by the experimenters in forthcoming
search, is described by the mass formulas of WU Concept
for stationary states (see. the Tables 1,2,3).
Reference Points for Experiment.
8 Chechelnitsky A. M.
As is known, the basic lesson of a History (science,
including) is, that nobody takes from it of the special lessons.
Nevertheless, we shall try to comprehend the future.
# The experimenters substantially will facilitate to
themselves life, and, main, will achieve decisive results, if,
whenever possible, get rid from tyrannical influence of
habitual dogmas of the settled theory (Standard model).
You see, - on the one hand , it does not give the exact
instructions, where (in what place on a scale of masses) to
search, for example, Higgs boson (top-quark, etc).
On the other hand, it approves, that it is not enough of the
required candidates (on a role of Higgs boson) ab definito.
# Tactics, used by the experimenters, of severe extreme
selection from here follows. And consequently, it is
((probable) quite steady mass states are exposed to rather
rigid selection, are denied already during experiments and its
are wrongful eliminated from a field of consideration of the
experimenters and independen t theorists.
# As against the usual representations, WU Concept
approves, that in a range /G46=10÷210 Gev/c2 (and higher)
there is a rather advanced Hierarchy of the physically
distinguished states, on a variety, probably, not yielding to
observable in experiment Hierarchy of states in a range up to
/G46=10 Gev/c2 (nowadays – to basic contents of Particle Data
Group).
# At presence of such polar, alternative representations it
is best to the experimenters to not trust finally anybody, but
to give steadfast attention to each of mass states, opening in
experiment, - without preliminary theoretical selection and
imposed assumptions.
# Received the advanced experimental spectrum of the
physically distinguished states (all - bar none) will ensure,
except for other, also objective verification of competing
theoretical models.
The Future History of HEP.
Analyzing the latent tendencies, social aspects and
human, psychological motives accompanying to
development of exact sciences - cosmology, physics,
including, - physics of high energy (HEP), it is possible to Phantom of Higgs Boson Versus Hierarchy
of Stationary States of Superhigh Energies 9
imagine and picture of the future development of HEP. The
enormous, extreme intellectual and material efforts
persistently require the subsequent justification. The social
order is those.
The physical community can not permit itself to admit
that the caravan of highly experimentally equipped science
long time moved not in right direction or has lost the way
because the theory in next time gave the incorrect
instructions.
The expectations and searches of the justification are
so great, that, is possible, the Higgs boson will be, by and
large, "open" in foreseeable time. Suitable, the
experimentally found out mass state can be soon successor
of "empty throne " and will be coronated (and interpreted) by
the prevailing theory in the main generator (the Higgs
mechanism, "moderator" or "Emperor") of masses.
So, actually, has taken place and with experimentally
observable mass states in area /G46=80.8 Gev/c2 and /G46=91.2
Gev/c2. Its were announced (are interpreted) as so long and
iintense expected by the theory (quantums) of weak
interaction - W± and Z0 bosons - with all accompanying
attributes, activity of scientific and social mass-media and
"with distribution of prizes and elephants ".
In contrast with it there are serious bases to believe, that
# Do not exist the postulated by the Standard theory the
special Higgs mechanism and appropriate (set) of Higgs
bosons.
Such thought up the ad ho c concept and connected
with it constituents (H0, etc) are not by the necessary
functional basis of the effective, serviceable theory.
Especially as such concepts do not follow from dynamic and
physical base principles.
# (As) there are no carriers (quantums) of weak
interaction laying in area of high masses (and energies)
/G46=80.8 Gev/c2 and /G46=91.2 Gev/c2. Such the conceptual
inversion is hardly viable and is hardly realized in Hierarchy
of masses and interactions in the Universe.
# The states with masses /G46=80.8 Gev/c2 and /G46=91.2
Gev/c2 are quite independen t and, generally speaking,
10 Chechelnitsky A. M.
ordinaries states - same as many other of compendium of
the data of Particle Data Group [RPP] [see the Tables 1,2,3].
What is Farther? New Horizons.
Peering in the Future, it is necessary to hope, that the
boundary of centuries will appear also time of deep, critical
doubts and choice of new ways, with which the physics of
new time will follow.
Is possible, as a result of the severe analysis that the
physics of high energies long time went in a fog, following for
phantoms externally attractive, for fantastically beautiful
constructions of the usual theory.
But when the fog of biases eventually will dissipate, we
shall see completely other bright picture of HEP, sated by set
of mass states (resonances) demonstrating an advanced
spectrum of Hierarchy.
Brightest of them will correspond to physically
distinguished – dominant states of the Fundamental
spectrum (of masses) of stationary states.
This spectrum arises not in result each time again thought
out ad hoc mechanisms and theories. Were based on
fundamental principles, Nature, the Wave Universe with use
only of simple and universal receptions in recurrent regime
builds all observable Hierarchy of the physically
distinguished states of micro - and megaworld.

Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA 02138
(February 2, 2008)
We present details from a recent test of Lorentz and CPT symme try using hydrogen masers
[1]. We have placed a new limit on Lorentz and CPT violation of the proton in terms of a recent
standard model extension by placing a bound on sidereal vari ation of the F= 1, ∆ mF=±1
Zeeman frequency in hydrogen. Here, the theoretical standa rd model extension is reviewed. The
operating principles of the maser and the double resonance t echnique used to measure the Zeeman
frequency are discussed. The characterization of systemat ic effects is described, and the method of
data analysis is presented. We compare our result to other re cent experiments, and discuss potential
steps to improve our measurement.
I. INTRODUCTION
A theoretical framework has recently been developed that in corporates Lorentz and CPT symmetry violation
into the standard model and quantifies their effects. [2–14]. One branch of this framework emphasizes low energy,
experimental searches for symmetry violating effects in ato mic energy levels [13,14]. In particular, Lorentz and CPT
violation in hydrogen has been examined and sidereal variat ions in the F= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman frequency have
been quantified [15]. Motivated by this work, we have conduct ed a search for sidereal variation in the hydrogen
Zeeman frequency, and have placed a new clean bound of 10−27GeV on Lorentz and CPT violation of the proton [1].
Here we provide additional details of the theoretical frame work, experiment and analysis. In Sec. II we discuss the
standard model extension. In Sec. III we describe the basic c oncepts of hydrogen maser operation and our Zeeman
frequency measurement technique. In Sec. IV we describe the procedure used to collect data and extract a sidereal
bound on the Zeeman frequency. In Sec. V we describe efforts to reduce and characterize systematic effects. Finally,
in Sec. VI we compare our result to other clock-comparison te sts of Lorentz and CPT symmetry, and discuss potential
means of improving our measurement.
II. LORENTZ AND CPT SYMMETRY VIOLATION IN THE STANDARD MODEL
Experimental investigations of Lorentz symmetry provide i mportant tests of the standard model of particle physics
and general relativity. While the standard model successfu lly describes particle phenomenology, it is believed to be t he
low energy limit of a fundamental theory that incorporates g ravity. This underlying theory may be Lorentz invariant,
yet contain spontaneous symmetry-breaking that could resu lt in small violations of Lorentz invariance and CPT at
the level of the standard model.
A theoretical framework has been developed to describe Lore ntz and CPT violation at the level of the standard
model by Kosteleck´ y and coworkers [2–14]. This standard-m odel extension is quite general: it emerges as the low-
energy limit of any underlying theory that generates the sta ndard model and contains spontaneous Lorentz symmetry
violation [2–4]. For example, such characteristics might e merge from string theory [5–8]. A key feature of the standard
model extension is that it is formulated at the level of the kn own elementary particles, and thus enables quantitative
comparison of a wide array of searches for Lorentz and CPT vio lation [9–12].
“Clock comparison experiments” are searches for temporal v ariations in atomic energy levels. According to the
standard model extension considered here, Lorentz and CPT v iolation may produce shifts in certain atomic levels,
whose magnitude depends on the orientation of the atom’s qua ntization axis relative to a fixed inertial frame [13,14].
Certain atomic transition frequencies, therefore, may exh ibit sinusoidal variation as the earth rotates on its axis.
New limits can be placed on Lorentz and CPT violation by bound ing sidereal variation of these atomic transition
frequencies.
Specifically, the description of Lorentz and CPT violation i s included in the relativistic Lagrange density of the
constituent particles of the atom. For example, the modified electron Lagrangian becomes [13]
1L=1
2i¯ψΓν∂νψ−¯ψMψ +LQED
int (1)
where
Γν=γν+/parenleftbigg
cµνγµ+dµνγ5γµ+eν+ifνγ5+1
2gλµνσλµ/parenrightbigg
(2)
and
M=m+/parenleftbigg
aµγµ+bµγ5γµ+1
2Hµνσµν/parenrightbigg
. (3)
The parameters aµ,bµ,cµν,dµν,eν,fν,gλµνandHµνrepresent possible vacuum expectation values of Lorentz
tensors generated through spontaneous Lorentz symmetry br eaking in an underlying theory. These are absent in the
standard model. The parameters aµ,bµ,eν,fνandgλµνrepresent coupling strengths for terms that violate both
CPT and Lorentz symmetry, while cµν,dµν, andHµνviolate Lorentz symmetry only. An analogous expression exi sts
for the modified proton and neutron Lagrangians (a superscri pt will be appended to differentiate between the sets
of parameters). The standard model extension treats only th e free particle properties of the constituent particles,
estimating that all interaction effects will be of higher ord er [13]. As a result, the interaction term LQED
intis unchanged
from the conventional, Lorentz invariant, QED interaction term.
Within this phenomenological framework, the values of thes e parameters are not calculable; instead, values must
be determined experimentally. The general nature of this th eory ensures that different experimental searches may
place bounds on different combinations of Lorentz and CPT vio lating terms, while direct comparisons between these
experiments are possible (see Table III and Ref. [13]).
The leading-order Lorentz and CPT violating energy level sh ifts for a given atom are obtained by summing over the
individual free particle shifts of the atomic constituents . From the symmetry violating correction to the relativisti c
Lagrangian, a non-relativistic correction Hamiltonian δhis found using standard field theory techniques [13]. Assumi ng
Lorentz and CPT violating effects to be small, the energy leve l shifts are calculated perturbatively by taking the
expectation value of the correction Hamiltonian with respe ct to the unperturbed atomic states, leading to a shift in
an atomic ( F,m F) sublevel given by [13]
∆EF,m F=/angbracketleftF,m F|neδhe+npδhp+nnδhn|F,m F/angbracketright. (4)
Herenwis the number of each type of particle and δhwis the corresponding correction Hamiltonian. Note that
for most atoms, the interpretation of energy level shifts in terms of this standard model extension is reliant on the
particular model used to describe the atomic nucleus (e.g., the Schmidt model). One key advantage of a study in
hydrogen is the simplicity of the nuclear structure (a singl e proton), with its results uncompromised by any nuclear
model uncertainty.
Among the most recent clock comparison experiments are Penn ing trap tests by Dehmelt and co-workers with the
electron and positron [16,17] which place a limit on electro n Lorentz and CPT violation at 10−25GeV. A recent
re-analysis by Adelberger, Gundlach, Heckel, and co-worke rs of existing data from the “E¨ ot-Wash II” spin-polarized
torsion pendulum [18,19] has improved this to a level of 10−29GeV [20], the most stringent bound to date on Lorentz
and CPT violation of the electron. A new limit on neutron Lore ntz and CPT violation has been placed at 10−31GeV
by Bear et al. [21] using a dual species noble gas maser and com paring Zeeman frequencies of129Xe and3He. The
current limit on Lorentz and CPT violation of the proton is 10−27GeV, as derived from an experiment by Lamoreaux
and Hunter [22] which compared Zeeman frequencies of199Hg and133Cs.
Figure 1 shows the Lorentz and CPT violating corrections to t he energy levels of the ground state of hydrogen [15].

published the result of a search for this variation of the F= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman frequency in hydrogen using
hydrogen masers [1]. This search has placed a new, clean boun d on Lorentz and CPT violation of the proton at a
level of 10−27GeV.

the first-order magnetic field-independent |2/angbracketright ↔ |4/angbracketrighthyperfine transition near 1420 MHz. The maser typically oper ates with a
static field less than 1 mG. For these low field strengths, the t woF= 1, ∆ mF=±1 Zeeman frequencies are nearly degenerate,
andν12≈ν23≈1 kHz.
3III. HYDROGEN MASER CONCEPTS
The electronic ground state in hydrogen is split into four le vels by the hyperfine interaction, labeled (following
the notation of Andresen [24]) |1/angbracketrightto|4/angbracketrightin order of decreasing energy (Fig. 1). The energies of atoms in|1/angbracketrightand
|2/angbracketrightdecrease as the magnetic field decreases; these are therefor e low-field seeking states. Conversely, |3/angbracketrightand|4/angbracketrightare
high-field seeking states. In low fields, |2/angbracketrightand|4/angbracketrightare only dependent on magnetic field in second order. The mase r
oscillates on the |2/angbracketright ↔ |4/angbracketrighttransition (field-independent to first-order). This transi tion frequency, as a function of
static field, is given by ν24=νhfs+ 2750B2(νin Hz with Bin Gauss, with νhfs≈1420.405751 MHz the zero-
field hyperfine frequency). Hydrogen masers typically opera te with low static fields (less than 1 mG), where ν24is
shifted from νhfsby about 3 mHz, or 2 parts in 1012. The two F= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman frequencies are given
byν12= 1.4×106B−1375B2andν23= 1.4×106B+ 1375B2. AtB= 1 mG these are nearly degenerate, with
ν12−ν23≈3 mHz, much less than the Zeeman linewidth of approximately 1 Hz.
A. Maser operation
In a hydrogen maser [25–27], molecular hydrogen is dissocia ted in an rf discharge and a beam of hydrogen atoms
is formed, as shown in Fig. 2. A hexapole state selecting magn et focuses the low-field-seeking hyperfine states |1/angbracketright
and|2/angbracketrightinto a quartz maser bulb at about 1012atoms/sec. Inside the bulb (volume ∼103cm3), the atoms travel
ballistically for about 1 second before escaping, making ∼104collisions with the bulb wall. A Teflon coating reduces
the atom-wall interaction and thus inhibits decoherence of the masing atomic ensemble by wall collisions. The maser
bulb is centered inside a cylindrical TE 011microwave cavity resonant with the 1420 MHz hyperfine transi tion. The
microwave field stimulates a small, coherent magnetization in the atomic ensemble, and this magnetization acts as
a source to stimulate the microwave field. With sufficiently hi gh atomic flux and low cavity losses, this feedback
induces active maser oscillation. The maser signal is induc tively coupled out of the microwave cavity and amplified
with an external receiver. Surrounding the cavity, a soleno id produces the weak static magnetic field ( ≈1 mG) that
establishes the quantization axis inside the maser bulb and sets the Zeeman frequency ( ≈1 kHz). A pair of Helmholtz
coils produces the oscillating transverse magnetic field th at drives the F= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman transitions. The
cavity, solenoid, and Zeeman coils are all enclosed within s everal layers of high permeability magnetic shielding.
A well engineered hydrogen maser can have fractional stabil ities approaching 10−15over intervals of hours. This
stability is enabled by a long atom-field interaction time (1 s), a low atom-wall interaction (due to the low atomic
polarizability of H and the wall’s Teflon coating), reduced D oppler effects (the atoms are confined to a region of
uniform microwave field phase, effectively averaging their v elocity to zero over the interaction time with the field),
and multiple layers of thermal control of the cavity (stabil izing cavity pulling shifts).
B. Maser characterization
Among the quantities used to characterize a hydrogen maser, those most relevant to this experiment are the atomic
line-QQl, the population decay rate γ1, the hyperfine decoherence rate γ2, the atomic flow rate into and out of the
bulbγb, and the maser Rabi frequency |X24|. We describe here a comprehensive set of measurements to cha racterize
hydrogen maser P-8. The results discussed here are summariz ed in Table I. Our Lorentz and CPT symmetry test
data were taken with a similar but newer hydrogen maser, P-28 [28]. A few of the maser characterization parameters
for P-28, while not directly measured, have been inferred us ing fitting parameters from the double resonance method
used to measure the F= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman frequency, described in Sec. IVA. These values are i ncluded in Table
I in italics.
To determine these parameters of an operating H maser, the ca vity volume VC, bulb volume Vb, cavity quality
factorQC, filling factor η, and output coupling coefficient βmust be known. For both masers, VC= 1.4 ×10−2m3,
Vb= 2.9 ×10−3m3,QC≈40,000, and β= 0.23 [29]. The filling factor, defined as [26]
η=/angbracketleftHz/angbracketright2
bulb
/angbracketleftH2/angbracketrightcavity, (6)
quantifies the ratio of average magnetic field energy inside t he bulb to the average magnetic field energy in the cavity.
This has a value of η= 2.14 for masers P-8 and P-28 [29].

For canonical hydrogen maser operation, there are two impor tant relaxation rates [27,29]. For a room temperature
H maser, the decay of the population inversion is described b y the longitudinal relaxation rate
γ1=γb+γr+ 2γse+γ′
1, (7)
and the decay of the atomic coherence is described by the tran sverse relaxation rate
γ2=γb+γr+γse+γ′
2. (8)
Here,γbis the atomic flow rate into the bulb, γris the rate of recombination into molecular hydrogen at the b ulb wall,
γseis the hydrogen-hydrogen spin-exchange decay rate, and γ′
iincludes all other sources of decay, such as decoherence
during wall collisions and effects of magnetic field gradient s.
In the steady state, the atom flow rate into the bulb is equal to the geometric escape rate from the bulb, given by
γb= ¯vA/4KVb, where ¯v= 2.5 ×105cm/s is the mean thermal velocity of atoms in the bulb, A= 0.254 cm3is the
area of the bulb entrance aperture, and K≈6 is the Klausing factor [30]. Thus, γb= 0.86 rad/s for both P-8 and
P-28. The spin exchange decay rate is given approximately by [27,29]
γse=1
2n¯vrσ (9)
where ¯vr= 3.6 ×105cm/s is the mean relative velocity of atoms in the bulb and σ= 21 ×10−16cm2is the
hydrogen-hydrogen spin-exchange cross section. The hydro gen density is given by [27,29]

The atomic line-Q is related to the transverse relaxation ra te and the maser oscillation frequency ωby [26,29]

6It is measured using the cavity pulling of the maser frequenc y: neglecting spin-exchange shifts, the maser frequency
is given by [26]
ω=ω24+QC
Ql(ωC−ω24). (12)
By measuring the maser frequency as a function of cavity freq uency setting, the line-Q can be determined. For both
P-8 and P-28, we find Ql= 1.6 ×109, and therefore γ2= 2.8 rad/s.
A convenient single measure of spin-exchange-independent relaxation in a hydrogen maser is given by “gamma-t”
[27,29]
γt= [(γb+γr+γ′
1)(γb+γr+γ′

Using this, a more useful form for the longitudinal relaxati on rate,γ1, can be found. By combining Eqn. 13 with
Eqns. 7 and 8, we find

γ2−γse+ 2γse. (14)

The power coupled out of the maser is given by [29] Po/P=β/(1 +β).
Generally, the parameter qis less than 0.1, while I/Ithis approximately 2 or 3. Hence, the first term of Eqn. 18
can be neglected relative to the others. If we make the reason able approximation that γ′

Eqn. 15 using Eqns. 13, 16-18 as [29]

Therefore, by measuring the line-Q as a function of maser pow er and extracting the slope mand the y-intercept b,
we can determine qandγt. For maser P-8, q= 0.100 and γt= 1.83 rad/s.
With these values of qandγt, we found Ith= 0.54 ×1012atoms/s (using Eqn. 16), and Pc= 250 fW. With a
measured output power of Po= 112 fW, the atoms were radiating P= 599 fW, and the flux of state |2/angbracketrightatoms was
I= 3.13 ×1012atoms/s (Eqn. 18). Under the assumption that γt≈γb+γrwe found that the total flux was Itot=
15.0×1012atoms/s (Eqn. 17) and the density was n= 2.8 ×1015atoms/m3(Eqn. 10). The spin-exchange decay
rate was then found to be γse= 1.06 rad/s (Eqn. 9). Finally, the population decay rate was γ1= 4.04 rad/s (Eqn.
14) and the maser Rabi frequency was |X24|= 2.77 rad/s (Eqn. 19).
C. Zeeman frequency determination
TheF= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman frequency is measured using a double resonance tech nique [24,31,32]. As the
frequency of an audio frequency magnetic field ωZ, applied perpendicular to the quantization axis, is swept t hrough
theZeeman frequency, a shift in the maser frequency is observed (Fig. 3). When the applied field is near the Zeeman
frequency, two-photon transitions (one audio photon plus o ne microwave photon) link states |1/angbracketrightand|3/angbracketrightto state |4/angbracketright,
in addition to the single microwave photon transition betwe en states |2/angbracketrightand|4/angbracketright. This two photon coupling shifts the
maser frequency antisymmetrically with respect to the detu ning of the applied field about the Zeeman resonance [32].
To second order in the Rabi frequency of the applied Zeeman fie ld,|X12|the small static-field limit of the maser
frequency shift from the unperturbed frequency is given by [ 24]

33=γb/(2γ1) is the steady state population difference between states
|1/angbracketrightand|3/angbracketrightin the absence of the applied Zeeman field. The first term in Eqn . 23 results from the coherent two-photon
mixing of the F= 1 levels as described above [32], while the second term is a m odified cavity pulling term that results
from the reduced line-Q in the presence of the applied Zeeman field. We compared Eqn. 23 to experimental data
from P-8, inserting the independently measured values of |X0
24|,γb,γ1, andγ2. By matching the fit to the data we
extracted the Zeeman field parameters |X12|andγZshown in Fig. 3.
In addition to the shift given by Eqn. 23, there is a small symm etric frequency shift due to the slight non-degeneracy
of the twoF= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman frequencies. This term offsets the zero crossing of t he maser shift resonance
away from the average Zeeman frequency1
2(ν12+ν23), however the contribution is negligible at small static fie lds.
Also, a reanalysis of the double resonance maser shift [31], which included the effects of spin-exchange collisions [33] ,
showed that there is an additional hydrogen density-depend ent offset of the zero crossing of the maser shift resonance
from the average Zeeman frequency. Using the full spin-exch ange corrected formula for the maser frequency shift [31],
we calculated this offset and found that for typical hydrogen maser densities ( n≈3×1015m−3), the offset varied
with average maser power as approximately -50 µHz/fW (assuming a linear relation between maser power and at omic
density of∆P
∆n≈100fW
3×1015m−3). As described below, our masers typically have sidereal po wer fluctuations less than 1
fW, making this effect negligible.
The applied Zeeman field also acts to diminish the maser power , as shown in Fig. 4, and to decrease the maser’s
line-Q. By driving the F= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman transitions, the applied field depletes the populat ion of the upper
masing state |2/angbracketright, thereby diminishing the number of atoms undergoing the mas er transition and reducing the maser
power. Also, by decreasing the lifetime of atoms in state |2/angbracketright, the line-Q is reduced. A very weak Zeeman field of
about 35 nG (as was used in our Lorentz symmetry test) decreas es the maser power by less than 2% on resonance and
reduces the line-Q by 2% (as calculated using Eqn. 6 of [24]). The standard method of determining the average static
magnetic field strength is to scan the Zeeman resonance with a large applied field and record the power diminishment
(such as that shown in Fig. 4, open circles). From the applied field frequency at the center of the power resonance,
which typically has a width of about 1 Hz, the magnetic field ca n be found with a resolution of about 1 µG.

FIG. 3. Double resonance maser frequency shifts. The large o pen circles (maser P-8) are compared with Eqn. 23 (full curve )
using the parameter values shown. The values of |X12|andγZwere chosen to fit the data, while the remaining parameters
were independently measured as described in subsection III B. The experimental error of each measurement (about 40 µHz) is
smaller than the circle marking it. The solid square data poi nts are data from the Lorentz symmetry test (maser P-28). The
large variation of maser frequency with Zeeman detuning nea r resonance, along with the excellent maser frequency stabi lity,
allows the Zeeman frequency ( ≈800 Hz) to be determined to 3 mHz in a single resonance (requir ing 18 minutes of data
acquisition). The inversion of the shift between the two is d ue to the fact that for the P-8 data (open circles), the maser
operated with an input flux of |2/angbracketrightand|3/angbracketrightatoms, while for the P-28 data (solid points), the typical in put of |1/angbracketrightand|2/angbracketrightatoms
was used. Changing between these two input flux modes is done b y inverting the direction of the static solenoid field, while
maintaining a fixed quantization axis for the state selectin g hexapole magnet (see Sec. IV D).

IV. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
A. Zeeman frequency measurement
To measure the F= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman frequency, we applied an oscillating field of about 3 5 nG near the
Zeeman frequency. This field shifted the maser frequency by a few mHz (at the extrema), a fractional shift of about 2
parts per trillion. Because of the excellent fractional mas er stability (2 parts in 1014over our averaging times of 10 s),
the shift was easily resolved (see the solid data in Fig. 3). A s the frequency of the applied field was stepped through the
Zeeman resonance, the maser frequency (of perturbed maser P -28) was compared to a second, unperturbed hydrogen
maser frequency (P-13). The two maser signals at ≈1420 MHz were phase locked to independent voltage controlle d
crystal oscillator receivers. The exact value of the receiv ers’ outputs were set by tunable synthesizers, which were se t
such that there was a 1.2 Hz offset between them. The two receiv er outputs were combined in a heterodyne mixer
and the resulting 0.8 s period beat note was averaged for 10 s ( about 12 periods) with a Hewlett-Packard Model HP
5334B frequency counter. The full double resonance spectru m consisted of 100 such points. For each spectrum, 80%
of the points were taken over the middle 40% of the scan range, where the frequency shift varies the most.
Once an entire spectrum of beat period vs applied Zeeman freq uency was obtained, it was fit to the function
Tb=A0+A3δ(1−κ)

to determine the Zeeman frequency. Here δ=ν−νZis the Zeeman detuning of the applied field νaway from the
Zeeman frequency νZ,κ=A4/(A1+δ2) is the analog of the parameter Kfrom Eqn. 23, and τ= (1.403×10−9)×ν2
Z
is the small difference between the two Zeeman frequencies ν12andν23. The first term A0is the constant offset
representing the unperturbed beat period between the two ma sers. The second and third terms comprise the first-
order symmetric maser shift (not included in Eqn. 23 but desc ribed in the text above); these two terms nearly cancel
at low static field where τvanishes. The final two terms account for the two shifts given in Eqn. 23.

FIG. 5. Results from a Monte Carlo analysis. The horizontal a xis represents the shift of the Zeeman frequency as determin ed
by our fits of over 100 synthetic data sets, the vertical axis i s the number within each shift bin. The width of the Gaussian fi t
to the data is 2.7 mHz, representing the resolution of a singl e Zeeman frequency measurement.
For our spectra in maser P-28 with small applied field amplitu de (solid square data points of Fig. 3), typical fit
parameters were: A0= 0.84550 ±0.00001,A1= 0.141 ±0.005,νZ= 857.063 ±0.003,A3= 0.006 ±0.010,A4=
0.029 ±0.003,A5= (3.2 ±0.1)×10−4, andA6= (-1 ±5)×10−6. The uncertainty in the Zeeman frequency was 3
mHz. Also, A3andA6, the amplitude coefficients of the residual first order effect a nd the cavity pulling term, were
consistent with zero.
With our known value of γb= 0.86 rad/s, and our measured value of γ2= 2.77 rad/s (from line-Q), the above set
of fit parameters were consistent with the reasonable values X0
24= 2.14 rad/s, γZ= 2.36 rad/s, γ1= 2.88 rad/s, and
X12= 0.40 rad/s (since A3had such a large error bar, the value of X12was chosen such the ratio of the maser shift
amplitude in P-28 to P-8, shown in Fig. 3, is equal to the ratio of the squares of X12for P-28 to P-8).
To determine the number of points and length of averaging tha t optimized the Zeeman frequency resolution,
we recorded several spectra with 50, 100, and 150 points at 5 s and 10 s averaging. We also varied the “density
distribution” of points, including spectra where the middl e 40% of the scan contained 80% of the points and those
where the middle 30% contained 80% of the points (thus increa sing the number of points in the region where the
antisymmetric shift varies the most). With each of these spe ctra, we ran the following Monte Carlo analysis [34]:
after fitting each scan to Eqn. 24, we constructed 100 synthet ic data sets by adding Gaussian noise to the fit, with
noise amplitude determined by the unperturbed maser freque ncy resolution of about 40 µHz. Each of these synthetic
data sets was fit and a histogram of the fitted Zeeman frequenci es was constructed. The resolution of each spectrum
was taken as the width of the Gaussian curve that fit the histog ram (see Fig. 5). As the total length of the scans
increased, the resolution improved and converged to a limit of around 2.5 mHz. While the resolution improved slowly
with increased acquisition time, it would have eventually b egun to degrade due to long term drifting of the Zeeman
frequency. (As will be described below, we found that the Zee man frequency exhibited slow drifts of about 10-100
mHz/day). We therefore chose a scan of 100 points at 10 s avera ging, for a total length of about 18 minutes for
our Lorentz symmetry test spectra. The results from the Mont e Carlo analysis for one of these spectra indicated a
Zeeman frequency resolution is 2.7 mHz (see Fig. 5).
B. Data analysis
Our net result combines data from three runs. During each dat a run, the 18 minute Zeeman frequency scans were
automated and run consecutively. After every 10 scans, 20 mi nutes of “unperturbed” maser frequency stability data
was taken to track the maser’s stability. Each run contained about 10 continuous days worth of data, and each set
contained more than 500 Zeeman frequency measurements, tak en at ≈18 minute intervals.
For each run, the long term Zeeman frequency data was fit to a fu nction of the form
fit= (piecewise continuous linear function ) +δνZ,αcos(ωsidt) +δνZ,βsin(ωsidt) (25)

whereδνZ,αandδνZ,βrepresent the cosine and sine components of the sidereal sin usoid. The time origin of the
sinusoids for all three runs was taken as midnight (00:00) of November 19, 1999. The subscripts αandβrefer to
two non-rotating orthogonal axes perpendicular to the rota tion axis of the earth. The total sidereal amplitude was
determined by adding δνZ,αandδνZ,βin quadrature. During each run, the Zeeman frequency drifte d hundreds of
mHz over tens of days. The piecewise continuous linear funct ion, consisting of segments one sidereal day in length,
was included to account for these long term Zeeman frequency drifts. This function was continuous at each break,
while the derivative was discontinuous.
The result of this analysis, where the fitting function (Eqn. 25) was applied to the full data set, was found to be in
good agreement with a second analysis, where each individua l day of data was fit to a line plus the sidereal sinusoid
and the cosine and sine amplitudes of each day were averaged s eparately and then combined in quadrature to find
the total sidereal amplitude.
C. Run 1
The cumulative data from the first run (November 1999) are sho wn in Fig. 6(a) and the residuals from the complete
fit (Eqn. 25) are shown in Fig. 6(b). The data set consisted of 1 1 full days of data and had an overall drift of about
250 mHz.
To avoid a biased choice of fitting, we allowed the location of the slope discontinuities in the piecewise continuous
linear function to shift throughout a sidereal day. We made e ight separate fits, each with the location of the slope
discontinuities shifted by three sidereal hours. The total sidereal amplitude and reduced chi square for each is shown
in Fig. 7. We chose our result from the fit with minimum reduced chi square.

TABLE II. Sidereal amplitudes from all runs.
As noted above, the error bar on a single Zeeman frequency det ermination was about 3 mHz. However, when
analyzing a smooth region of long term Zeeman data (about 1 da y) we calculate a standard deviation of about 5 mHz.
We believe this error bar is due mainly to residual thermal flu ctuations (see Fig. 14).
For our choice of slope discontinuity with minimum reduced c hi square [35], the cosine amplitude was 0.43 mHz ±
0.36 mHz, and the sine amplitude was -0.21 mHz ±0.36 mHz. The total sidereal amplitude was therefore 0.48 mH z
±0.36 mHz.
D. Field-inverted runs 2 and 3
In runs 2 and 3, the static solenoid field orientation was oppo site that of the initial run to further study the double
resonance technique and any potential systematics associa ted with the solenoid field. With the static field inverted,
and therefore directed opposite the quantization axis in th e state selecting hexapole magnet, the input flux consists
of atoms in states |2/angbracketrightand|3/angbracketright(rather than the states |1/angbracketrightand|2/angbracketright). Thus, reversing the field inverts the steady state
population difference ( ρ0
11−ρ0
33) of Eqn. 23 and acts to invert the antisymmetric double reson ance maser frequency
shift [32].
Operating the maser in the field reversed mode degrades the ma ser performance and subsequently the Zeeman
frequency data. With opposed quantization fields inside the maser bulb and at the exit of the state selecting hexapole
magnet, a narrow region of field inversion is created. Where t he field passes through zero, Majorana transitions
between the different mFsublevels of the F= 1 manifold can occur. This can alter the number of atoms in th e
upper maser state ( F= 1,mF= 0, state |2/angbracketright), which diminishes the overall maser amplitude and stabili ty. In the
field-inverted configuration, the maser amplitude was reduc ed by 30%, and both the maser frequency and Zeeman
frequency were less stable. In addition, the field-inverted runs were each conducted soon after a number of rather
invasive repairs were made to the maser [28]. Thus, the quali ty of the latter two data sets was somewhat degraded
from the first run (see Figs. 8(a) and 9(a)). The overall drift was larger (nearly 800 mHz over about 10 days), and
the scatter in the data was increased, as can be seen from the r esidual plots from these runs (Figs. 8(b) and 9(b))
which have been plotted on the same scale as the residuals fro m the first run (Fig. 6(b)).
The latter two runs were also less suitable for the piecewise continuous linear drift model used in the first run. In
that case, the large slope changes were coincidentally sepa rated by an integer number of sidereal days; in the last two
runs, the larger and more frequent changes in slope were not. Therefore, only certain selected sections could be fit to
the same model (Eqn. 25), significantly truncating the data s ets. Due to all of these factors, the sidereal amplitudes
and the associated error bars were up to an order of magnitude larger for the field-inverted runs than the first run.
All values are shown together in Table II.
E. Combined result
The final sidereal bound, combining all three runs, was calcu lated using the data in Table II. First, the weighted

varianceσ, the probability distribution for Atakes the form P(A) =Aσ−2exp(−A2/2σ2), which has the most
probable value occurring at A=σ.
V. ERROR ANALYSIS
In addition to our automated acquisition of Zeeman frequenc y data, we continuosly monitored the maser’s external
environment. At every ten second step, in addition to applie d frequency and maser beat period, we recorded room
temperature, maser cabinet temperature, solenoid current , maser power, ambient magnetic field, and active Helmholtz
coil current (see Sec. VA).
A. Magnetic systematics
TheF= 1,mF=±1 Zeeman frequency depends to first-order on the z-component of the magnetic field in the
storage bulb. Thus, all external field fluctuations must be su fficiently screened to enable a sensitivity to shifts from
Lorentz and CPT symmetry violation. The maser cavity and bul b are therefore surrounded by a set of four nested
magnetic shields that reduce the ambient field by a factor of a bout 32,000. We measure unshielded fluctuations in
the ambient field of about 3 mG (peak-peak) during the day, and even when shielded, these add significant noise to
a single Zeeman scan, as illustrated in Fig. 11(a). Furtherm ore, the amplitude of the field fluctuations is significantly
reduced late at night, which could generate a diurnal system atic effect in our data.
To reduce the effect of fluctuations in the ambient magnetic fie ld, we installed an active feedback system (see
Fig. 10) consisting of two pairs of large Helmholtz coils (2. 4 m diameter). The first pair of coils (50 turns) produced
a uniform field that cancelled most of the z-component of the a mbient field, leaving a residual field of around 5 mG.
A magnetometer probe that sensed the residual ambient field w as placed partially inside the maser’s magnetic shields
near the maser cavity. This probe had a sensitivity of s= 1.7 mG/V. Due to its location partially inside the magnetic
shields, the probe was screened by a factor of about six from e xternal fields, reducing the sensitivity to s′= 0.3 mG/V,
and producing a differential screening of 5300 between the ma gnetometer probe and the atoms. The magnetometer
output was passed into a PID servo (Linear Research model LR- 130), which contained a proportional stage (gain G
= 33), an integral stage (time constant T i= 0.1 s) and a derivative stage (time constant = 0.01 s). The co rrection
voltage was applied to the second pair of Helmholtz coils (3 t urns) which produced a uniform field ( p= 14 mG/V)
along the z-axis to nullify the residual field and actively co unter any field fluctuations. Neglecting the small effect of
the derivative stage, the overall time constant of this syst em was given by τ=Ti(1 +s′/pG)≈0.1 s, about 100 times
shorter than the averaging time of our maser frequency shift measurements (10 s).
With this system we were able to further reduce ambient field fl uctuations at the magnetometer by a factor of 3,000.
The resulting unshielded fluctuations were less than 1 µG peak-peak. The field recorded by the partially screened
magnetometer probe is shown in Fig. 12. The noise on a single Z eeman scan was reduced below our Zeeman frequency
resolution, as shown in Fig. 11(b). During our Lorentz symme try test, we monitored the field at the magnetometer
probe and placed a bound of ∼5 nG on the sidereal component of the variation. This corresp onds to a shift of
less than 0.2 µHz on the hydrogen Zeeman frequency, three orders of magnitu de smaller than the sidereal Zeeman
frequency bound measured.
The magnetometer [37] used in the feedback loop was a fluxgate magnetometer probe (RFL industries Model 101)
which consisted of two parallel high-permeability magneti c cores each surrounded by an excitation coil (the excitatio n
coils were wound in the opposite sense of each other). A separ ate pickup coil was wound around the pair of cores.
An AC current (about 2.5 kHz) in the excitation coils drove th e cores into saturation, and, in the presence of any
slowly varying external magnetic field oriented along the ma gnetic cores’ axes, an EMF was generated in the pickup

proportional to the external field. The probe had a sensitivi ty of approximately 1 nG.
Any Lorentz violating spin-orientation dependence of the e nergy of the electrons in the magnetic cores would induce
a sidereal variation in the cores’ magnetization and could g enerate, or mask, a sidereal variation in the hydrogen
Zeeman frequency through the feedback circuit. However, ba sed on the latest bound on electron Lorentz violation
[18] (10−29GeV), the Lorentz violating shift would be less than 10−11G, far below the level of residual ambient field
fluctuations. Also, the additional shielding factor of 5300 between the probe and the atoms further reduced the effect
of any Lorentz violating shift in the probe electrons’ energ ies.
With the ambient field kept nearly constant near zero, the Zee man frequency was set by the magnetic field generated
by the solenoid, and hence by the solenoid current. We monito red solenoid current fluctuations by measuring the
voltage across the current-setting 5 kΩ resistor with a 5 1/2 digit multimeter (Fluke model 8840A/AF). By measuring
the Zeeman frequency shift caused by large current changes, we found a dependence of around 10 mHz/nA. When
acquiring Lorentz symmetry test data, we measured long term drifts in the current of about 5 nA (see Fig. 13),
significant enough to produce detectable shifts in the Zeema n frequency. Thus, we subtracted these directly from
the Zeeman data. We measured a sidereal variation of 25 ±10 pA on the solenoid current, corresponding to a
sidereal variation of 0.16 ±0.08 mHz on the Zeeman frequency correction. This systemati c uncertainty in the Zeeman
frequency was included in the net error analysis, as describ ed in Sec. V C.
B. Other systematics
The maser resided in a closed, temperature stabilized room w here the temperature oscillated with a peak-peak
amplitude of slightly less than 0.5˚ C with a period of around 15 minutes. The maser was contained in an insulated
and thermally controlled cabinet, which provided a factor o f five to ten shielding from the room, and reduced the
fluctuations to less than 0.1˚ C peak-peak, as shown in Fig. 14 . By making large changes in the maser cabinet
temperature and measuring the effect on the Zeeman frequency , we found a temperature coefficient of about 200

mHz/˚ C. We believe this frequency shift was due mainly to the resistors which set the solenoid current, which had
100 ppm/˚ C temperature coefficients. We monitored the cabine t temperature and placed a bound on the sidereal
component of the temperature fluctuations at 0.5 mK, which wo uld produce a systematic sidereal variation of 100
µHz on the Zeeman frequency, about a factor of 3 smaller than th e measured limit on sidereal variation in Zeeman
frequency.
As mentioned in Sec. III C, spin-exchange effects induce a sma ll offset of the Zeeman frequency given by Eqn. 23
from the actual Zeeman frequency [31]. This would imply that fluctuations in the input atomic flux (and therefore
the maser power) could cause fluctuations in the Zeeman frequ ency measurement. We measured a limit on the shift
of the Zeeman frequency due to large changes in average maser power at less than 0.8 mHz/fW. (Expected shifts from
spin-exchange are ten times smaller than this level (Sec. II I C). We believe the measured limit is related to heating
of the maser as the flux is increased). During long-term opera tion, the average maser power drifted approximately 1
fW/day (see Fig. 15). The sidereal component of the variatio ns of the maser power were less than 0.05 fW, implying
a variation in the Zeeman frequency of less than 40 µHz, an order of magnitude smaller than our experimental boun d
for sidereal Zeeman frequency variation.
C. Final result
We measured systematic errors in sidereal Zeeman frequency variation (as described in Secs. VA and VB) due
to ambient magnetic field (0.2 µHz), solenoid field (80 µHz), maser cabinet temperature (100 µHz), and hydrogen
density induced spin-exchange shifts (40 µHz). Combining these errors in quadrature with the 0.34 mHz s tatistical
uncertainty in Zeeman frequency variation, we find a siderea l variation of the F= 1, ∆mF=±1 Zeeman frequency
in hydrogen of 0.44 ±0.37 mHz at the 1- σlevel. This 0.37 mHz bound corresponds to 1.5 ×10−27GeV in energy
units.

VI. DISCUSSION
A. Transformation to fixed frame
Our experimental bound of 0.37 mHz on sidereal variation of t he hydrogen Zeeman frequency may be interpreted in
terms of Eqn. 5 as a bound on vector and tensor components of th e standard model extension. To make meaningful
comparisons to other experiments, we transform our result i nto a fixed reference frame. Following the construction in
reference [13], we label the fixed frame with coordinates (X, Y,Z) and the laboratory frame with coordinates (x,y,z),
as shown in Fig. 16. We select the earth’s rotation axis as the fixed Z axis, (declination = 90 degrees). We then define
fixed X as declination = right ascension = 0 degrees, and fixed Y as declination = 0 degrees, right ascension = 90
degrees. With this convention, the X and Y axes lie in the plan e of the earth’s equator. Note that the α,βaxes of
Sec. IVE, also in the earth’s equatorial plane, are rotated a bout the earth’s rotation axis from the X,Y axes by an
angle equivalent to the right ascension of 71◦7’ longitude at 00:00 of November 19, 1999.
For our experiment, the quantization axis (which we denote z ) was vertical in the lab frame, making an angle χ≈
48 degrees relative to Z, accounted for by rotating the entir e (x,y,z) system by χabout Y. The lab frame (x,y,z)
rotates about Z by an angle Ω t, where Ω is the frequency of the earth’s (sidereal) rotation .

Our 1-sigma bound on Lorentz and CPT violation of the proton a nd electron is therefore 2 ×10−27GeV.
B. Comparison to previous experiments
We compare our result with other recent tests of Lorentz and C PT symmetry in Table III. Although our bounds
are numerically similar to the those from the199Hg/133Cs experiment, the simplicity of the hydrogen atom allows us
to place bounds directly on the electron and proton; uncerta inties in nuclear structure models do not complicate the
interpretation of our result. The recent limit set by the tor sion pendulum experiment of Adelberger et. al. [20] on
electron Lorentz and CPT violation casts our result as a clea n bound on Lorentz and CPT violation of the proton.
C. Future work
To make a more sensitive measure of the sidereal variation of the Zeeman frequency in a hydrogen maser, it will
be important to clearly identify and reduce the magnitude of the long term drifts of the Zeeman frequency. Possible
24sources of these drifts are magnetic fields near the maser bul b caused by stray currents in heaters or power supplies
in the inner regions of the maser. Also, the scatter of the Zee man data points, believed to be due mainly to residual
thermal fluctuations, should be reduced. Both of these objec tives could be accomplished by carefully rebuilding a
hydrogen maser, with better engineered power and temperatu re control systems.

IN INTRODUCTORY ELECTRICITY

Abstract
We propose a unified approach to addition of resistors and cap acitors such that the
formulæ are always simply additive. This approach has the ad vantage of being consistent
with the intuition of the students. To demonstrate our point of view, we re-work some well-
known end-of-the-chapter textbook problems and propose so me additional new problems.
1 Introduction
All introductory physics textbooks, with or without calcul us, cover the addition of both resis-
tances and capacitances in series and in parallel. The formu læ for adding resistances
R=R1+R2+. . . , (1)
1
R=1
R1+1
R2+. . . , (2)
and capacitances
1
C=1
C1+1
C2+. . . , (3)
C=C1+C2+. . . , (4)
are well-known and well-studied in all the books.
In books with calculus there are often end-of-chapter probl ems in which students must find
RandCusing continuous versions of equations (1) and (4) [2, 5, 6, 7 , 8]. However, we have
found nonewhich includes problems that make use of continuous version s of equations (2) and
(3) [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Students who can understand and solve the first class of problems
should be able to handle the second class of the problems, as w ell. We feel that continuous
problems that make use of all four equations should be shown t o the students in order to give
them a global picture of how calculus is applied to physical p roblems. Physics contains much
more than mathematics. When integrating quantities in phys ics, the way we integrate them
1costas@physics.ucf.edu
2ral@physics.ucf.edu
1is motivated by the underlying physics. Students often forg et the physical reasoning and they
tend to add (integrate) quantities only in one way.
In this paper, we introduce an approach to solving continuou s versions of equations (2)
and (3) that is as straightforward and logical for the studen ts as solving continuous versions of
equations (1) and (4). We then present some problems in which the student must decide which
formula is the right one to use for integration. We hope that t his article will motivate teachers
to explain to students the subtle points between ‘straight i ntegration’ as taught in calculus and
‘physical integration’ to find a physical quantity.
2 Adding Resistances
Problem [Cylindrical Resistor]
The cylindrical resistor shown in figure 1 is made such that th e resistivity ρis a function of the
distance rfrom the axis. What is the total resistance Rof the resistor?
rdr
a
l
Figure 1: The figure shows a cylindrical wire of radius a. A potential difference is applied
between the bases of the cylinder and therefore electric cur rent is running parallel to the axis
of the cylinder.
Towards a Solution :
We divide the cylindrical resistor into infinitesimal resis tors in the form of cylindrical shells
of thickness dr. One of these shells is seen in red in figure 1. If we apply equat ion (1) naively,
we must write
R=/integraldisplay
cylinderdR .
The infinitesimal resistance of the red shell is given by
dR=ρ(r)ℓ
dA,
where dA= 2πrdris the area of the base of the infinitesimal shell. Since dris small, dRis
huge, which is absurd. Where is the error?
Discussion :
When the current is flowing along the axis of the cylinder, the infinitesimal resistors are not
connected in series. Therefore, the naive approach
R=/integraldisplay
dR
2does not work since this formula assumes that the shells are c onnected in series. Instead, all
of the infinitesimal cylindrical shells of width drare connected at the same end points and,
therefore, have the same applied potential. In other words, the shells are connected in parallel
and it is the inverse resistance that is importnat, not Ritself. Specifically
1
R=/integraldisplay
cylinderd/parenleftbigg1
R/parenrightbigg
.
Students may feel unconfortable with this equation as at the begining since it may seem ‘con-
tradictory’ to their calculus knowledge; therefore, some d iscussion may be helpful.
Equation (1) states that when resistors are connected in ser ies, they make it harder for
the current to go through. Their resistances add to give the t otal restistance. However, when
resistors are connected in parallel, many ‘paths’ are avail able simultaneously; the current is
flowing easily and ‘resistance’ —which is a measure of flow diffi culty— is not a good quantity
to use. Maybe an analogy from everyday life is useful here. Pa ying tolls at toll booths is in
direct analogy. When only a single booth is available, then a ll traffic has to go through that
lane and no matter how dense the traffic is, there will be a relat ive delay. The traffic encounters
some ‘resistance’ in the flow. However, when multiple booths are open, the drivers choose to
go through the lanes that are free at the time of their approac h to the booths and thus the
delays encountered are minimal. In this case, the ‘availabi lity’ of booths is a better quantity to
be used to descibe what is happening instead of the ‘resistan ce’ at the booths. Ultimately, the
two quantities are related, but intuitely it is more satisfy ing to use one over the over depending
on the situation. In direct analogy, for resistors connecte d in parallel, the relevant quantity is
notRany longer, but S, where
S=1
R=σA
ℓ,
andσ= 1/ρis the conductivity. We may call Stheconduction of the resistor. When resistors
are connected in parallel, they make it easier for the curren t to go through. Their conductions
add to give the total conduction:
S=S1+S1+···.
Thus, the conduction follows the usual addition
S=/integraldisplay
dS
when infitesimal resistors are connected in parallel.
We are now in position to compute the answer to the posed probl em in a way that is
consistent with the intuition of the students.
Solution :
Since the cylindrical shells are connected in parallel, con duction is the additive quantity.
For the infinitesimal shell
dS=σ(r)2πrdr
ℓ.
Therefore
S=/integraldisplay
cylinderdS=2π
ℓ/integraldisplaya
0σ(r)rdr .
3For example, if σ(r) =σ0a
r, then
S= 2σ0πa2
ℓ,
where σ0= 1/ρ0. The resistance is therefore
R=ρ0
2ℓ
πa2.
Problem [Truncated-Cone Resistor]
A resistor is made from a truncated cone of material with unif orm resistivity ρ. What is the
total resistance Rof the resistor when the potential difference is applied betw een the two bases
of the cone?
Solution :
This is a well-known problem found in many of the introductor y physics textbooks [2, 5,
6, 7, 8]. We can partition the cone into infitesimal cylindric al resistors of length dz. One
representative resistor at distance zfrom the top base is seen in figure 2. The area of the
resistor is A=πr2and therefore its infinitesimal resistance is given by
dR=ρdz
πr2.
From the figure we can see that

43 Adding Capacitances
A similar discussion may be given for capacitors. When capac itors are connected in parrallel,
capacitance is the the relative additive quantity:
C=C1+C2+···.
For a parallel-plate capacitor of area Aand distance dbetween the plates
C=ε0A
d.
When the capacitor is filled with a uniform dielectric of diel ectric constant κthen
C=ε0κA
d.
However, when capacitors are connected in series, the inver se capacitance
D=1
C.
is the additive quantity. We may call it the incapacitance . For a parallel-plate capacitor
D=1
ε0κd
A.
In other words, when capacitors are connected in series
D=D1+D2+···.
Problems like this are encountered when we fill a capacitor wi th a dielectric for which the
dielectric constact is a function of the distance from the pl ates of the capacitor. Students are
familiar with such problems for a parallel-plate capacitor in the discrete case. For example,
problems asking students to compute the total capacitance i n cases as those shown in figure 3
are found in several textbooks [5, 6, 8]. However, continuou s problems are not found in any
textbook [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
We can easily construct new problems or re-work old problem u sing this idea. For example,
the well-known formula for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor can be found this way. As
shown in the left side of figure 4, the capacitor is partitione d into small cylindrical capacitors
for which the distance between the plates is dr. For such small capacitors, the formula of a
parallel-plate capacitor is valid. We notice though that al l infintesimal capacitors are connected
in series. Therefore

Figure 4: A cylindrical capacitor with radii aandband height h. In the left picture, we
have sliced it in infinitesimal cylindrical shells, while in the right picture we have sliced it in
infinitesimal annuli.
Comment :One might be tempted to partition the cylindrical capacitor into infinitesimal capacitors as
seen in the figure to the left (blue section). Such capacitors look simpler than the infitesimal cylindrical shell we
used above. Furthermore, they are connected in parallel (no tice that each capacitor is carrying an infinitesimal
charge dQand/integraltext
cylinderdQ=Q) and therefore it is enough to deal with capacitance, C=/integraltext
cylinderdC, and not
incapacitance D.
However, with a minute’s reflection the reader will see that i n order to use the parallel-plate capacitor
formula in the infinitesimal case, the distance between the p lates must be infinitesimal which indicates that
the infinitesimal capacitors must be connected in series. In the proposed (blue) slicing, the distance between
6the plates of the infinitesimal capacitor is finite, namely b−a. The infinitesimal capacitor is still a cylindrical
capacitor of infitesimal height and therefore its capacitan ce should be expressed in a form that is not known
before the problem is solved. In other words,
dC=2πε0
ln(b/a)dz (6)
from which
C=2πε0
ln(b/a)/integraldisplayh
0dz=2πε0
ln(b/a)h . (7)
But the expression (6) is unkown until the result (7) is found .
Problem [Truncated-cone Capacitor]
A capacitor is made of two circular disks of radii bandcrespectively placed at a distance
hsuch that the line that joins their centers is perpendicular to the disks. Find the capacitance
of this arrangement (Seen in figure 2).
Solution : We partition the capacitor into infinitesimal parallel-pl ate capacitors of distance
dzand plate area A=πr2exactly as seen in figure 2. These infitesimal capacitors are c onnected
in series and therefore the incapacitance is the relevant ad ditive quantity:
dD=1
ε0dz
πr2.
Notice that the computation is identical to that of Rwith final result:
D=1

πbc⇒C=ε0πbc

When b=c, we recover the result of the parallel-plate capacitor.
4 Conclusions
In this paper, we have tried to argue that when the right varia bles are used then the law of
addition for capacitances and resistances is always additi ve. Table 1 summarizes our main
formulæ. This is in agreement with the intuition of students when they solve continuous
problems on the subject who like to add quantities in a simple way.
We must point out that our discusssion by no means is restrict ed to capacitances and
resistances only. Similar addition laws are encountered in many other areas of physics. For
example, when connecting springs in parallel the total stiff ness constant is given by the sum of
the individual stiffness constants:
k=k1+k2+···.
When the springs are connected in series, then
1
k=1
k1+1
k2+···,
pointing out that in this case, not the stiffness constant but theelasticity constant
ℓ=1
k
is the relevant additive constant. Our discussion can thus b e repeated verbatim in all similar
cases. Table 2 lists the most common cases found in introduct ory physics.

95. (a) Two metallic flat annuli are placed such that they form a capacitor with the shape of a
hollow truncated cone as seen in figure 5. Partition the capac itor in infitesimal capacitors
and show that the capacitance is given by

Show that this result reduces to that of a cylindrical capaci tor for c=b. Also, show that
it agrees with (8) when a= 0.
(b) Now, fill the two bases with disks of radius aand argue that the capacitance of the
hollow truncated cone equals that of the truncated cone minu s the capacitance of the
parallel-plate capacitor that we have removed (superposit ion principle). This means that
the capacitance of the hollow truncated cone should equal to
C=πε0bc−a2
h.
How is it possible that this result does not agree with that of part (a)?

Abstract
This paper presents a study of acoustic scattering by a cylin der of either infinite or finite length near a flat
pressure-release surface. A novel self-consistent method is developed to describe the multiple scattering
interactions between the cylinder and the surface. The comp lete scattering amplitude for the cylinder
is derived from a set of equations, and is numerically evalua ted. The results show that the presence of
the surface can either enhance or reduce the scattering of th e cylinder, depending on the frequency, the
composition of the cylinder, and the distance between the cy linder and the surface. Both air-filled and
rigid cylinders are considered.

INTRODUCTION
Acoustic scattering by underwater objects near a pressure r elease boundary is a very important issue in a
number of current research and applications, including the modeling of scattering from surface dwelling fish,
the understanding of oceanic fluxes and ambient noises gener ated at ocean surface layers. It may also be of
great help in models of acoustic scattering by submarines ne ar the ocean surface.
In the literature, the research on sound scattering by under water objects near a pressure release surface
has been mainly focused on the scattering by a spherical obje ct such as an air bubble (Refs. e. g. [1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7]). In many important applications, however, underwa ter objects may not take the spherical geometry.
Rather they often take elongated shapes. This includes, for example, the surface dwelling fish, the floating
logs in rivers, military objects, and so on. For these situat ions, it is desirable to study acoustic scattering
by an elongated object near a boundary. By searching the lite rature, we find that the research along this
line is surprisingly scarce. The purpose of the the present p aper is to present an investigation of acoustic
scattering by a cylinder of either infinite or finite length ne ar a flat pressure-release boundary.
We consider acoustic scattering by an elongated object near a flat pressure release surface; the sea or
river surface can be regarded as one of such surfaces when the acoustic wavelength is long compared to the
surface wave. As a first step, for simplicity yet not to compro mising the generality, we assume the object as
a straight cylinder. Due to the presence of the surface, the w ave will be scattered back and forth between the
surface and the object before it reaches a receiver. The resc attering from the scatterer and rereflection from
the surface are studied using a self-consistent method by ex pressing all the waves in terms of modal series.
The scattering by the cylinder is thus exactly evaluated, an d analyzed. The theory is first developed for an
infinite cylinder, then extended to finite cylinders using th e genuine approach given by Ref. [8]. Although
the theory allows us to consider a variety of cylinders, in or der to show the essence of the theory in its
most transparent way we focus on two important types of cylin ders, that is, the air-filled and the rigid
cylinders. The former can be used to model the fish while the la tter may resemble some acoustic scattering
characteristics of military objects.
I. FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM
The problem considered in this paper is depicted in Fig. 1. A s traight cylinder is located in the water at a
depth dbeneath a pressure release plane which can be the sea surface . For simplicity, we assume that the
axis of the cylinder is parallel to the plane. The radius of th e cylinder is a. The acoustic parameters of the
cylinder are taken as: the mass density ρ1and sound speed c1, while those of the surround water are ρand
c; therefore the acoustic contrasts are g=ρ1/ρandh=c1/c. A parallel line acoustic source transmitting
a wave of frequency ωis at/vector rssome distance away from the surface. The transmitted wave is scattered by
1the cylinder and reflected from the surface, as shown in Fig. 1 . The reflected wave is also scattered by the
cylinder. The wave scattered by the cylinder is again reflect ed by the surface. Such a process is repeated,
establishing an infinite series of rescattering and rereflec tion between the cylinder and the surface. This
multiple scattering process can be conveniently treated by a self-consistent manner. The rectangular frame
is set up in such a way that the z-axis is parallel to the axis of the cylinder. the x-axis and y-axis are shown
in Fig. 1. To solve the scattering problem, however, we use th e cylindrical coordinates in the rectangular
system. We note that in the present paper, for brevity we do no t consider the case that the incident direction
is oblique to the axis of the cylinder; the extension to obliq ue cases is straightforward. The setting in the
problem is by analogy with that described in Ref. [7], where a spherical air bubble is placed beneath the flat
boundary.
A.Scattering by a cylinder of infinite length
In this section, we present a formulation for sound scatteri ng by an infinite cylinder near a pressure-release
boundary. For succinctness, we only show the most essential steps in the derivation. First the direct wave
from the line source can be written as
pinc=iπH(1)
0(k|/vector r−/vector rs|), (1)
withkbeing the wave number of the transmitted wave ( k=ω/c), and H(1)
0being the zero-th order Hankel
function of the first kind. The reason why we choose to use the l ine source is that it can easily used to include
the usual plane wave situation; for this we just need to put th e source at a place so that k|/vector r−/vector rs|>>1.
Due to the presence of the pressure release surface, the refle ction from the surface of the direct wave can be
regarded as coming from an image source located symmetrical ly about the surface, and is written as
pr=−iπH(1)
0(k|/vector r−/vector rsi|), (2)
where /vector rsiis the vector coordinate for the image, which is at the parity position about the plane.
The scattered wave from the cylinder can be generally writte n as
ps1=∞/summationdisplay
n=−∞AnH(1)
n(k|/vector r−/vector r1|)einφ/vector r−/vector r1, (3)
where Anare the coefficients to be determined later, H(1)
nare the n-th order Hankel functions of the first
kind, and φis the azimuthal angle that sweeps through the plane perpend icular to the longitudinal axis of
the cylinder. According to Brekhovskikh[9], the effect of th e boundary on the cylinder can be represented by
introducing an image cylinder located at the mirror symmetr y site about the plane surface. The rereflection
and rescattering between the surface and the cylinder can be represented by the multiple scattering between
the cylinder and its image. The scattered wave from this imag e can be similarly written as
ps2=∞/summationdisplay
n=−∞BnH(1)
n(k|/vector r−/vector r2|)einφ/vector r−/vector r2, (4)
where /vector r2is the location of the image of the cylinder, which is symmetr ic about the pressure-release plane.
At the pressure release surface, the boundary condition req uiresps1+ps2= 0, leading to
Bn=−A−n, (5)
where we have used the relations
φ/vector r−/vector r1=π−φ/vector r−/vector r2,andH(1)
n(x) = (−1)nH(1)
−n(x).
Similarly the wave inside the cylinder can be written as
pin=∞/summationdisplay
n=−∞CnJn(k|/vector r−/vector r1|)einφ/vector r−/vector r1. (6)
Again, Cnare the unknown coefficients, and Jnare the n-th order Bessel functions of the first kind.
2To solve for the unknown coefficients An(thus Bn) and Cn, we employ the boundary conditions at the
surface of the cylinder. For the purpose, we express all wave fields in the coordinates with respect to the
position of the cylinder. This can be achieved by using the ad dition theorem for the Hankel functions

n−l(k|/vector r1−/vector r′|)e−ilφ/vector r1−/vector r′Jl(k|/vector r−/vector r1|)eilφ/vector r−/vector r1, (7)
where /vector r′can either be the location of the source by setting /vector r′=/vector rs, the location of the image of the source
with/vector r′=/vector rsi, or the location of the image of the cylinder with /vector r′=/vector r2. The boundary conditions on the
surface of the cylinder state that both the acoustic field and the radial displacement be continuous across
the interface. Applying the addition theorem to the express ions for the concerned waves in Eqs. (1), (2),
(4), and (6), then plugging them into the boundary condition s, and after a careful calculation, we are led to
the following equation

In Eq. (8), we derived

B.Scattering by a cylinder of finite length
In practice, we are often concerned with acoustic scatterin g by objects of finite length. Here we consider the
scattering by a finite cylinder beneath a flat pressure releas e surface such as the sea plane. The problem of
acoustic scattering by a finite object has been difficult enoug h, let alone the presence of a boundary. Exact
solutions only exist for simply shaped objects. Approximat e methods have been developed. A review on
various methods for computing sound scattering by an isolat ed elongated object is presented in Ref. [8].
In this section, we extend the cylinder-method proposed in R ef. [8], devised for an isolated cylinder, to
the present case of a cylinder near a boundary. The reason for choosing this method is that it has been
verified both theoretically and experimentally that this me thod is reasonably accurate for a wide range of
situations[10, 11]. This is particularly true for the scena rios discussed in the present paper.
From the Kirchhoff integral theorem, the scattering functio n from any scatter can be evaluated from
f(/vector r,/vector ri) =−e−ik/vector r1·ˆr
4π/integraldisplay
Sds′e−ik/vector r′·ˆr/vector n·[∇r′ps(/vector r′) +ikˆrps(/vector r′)], (14)
3where /vector nis an outwardly directed unit vector normal to the surface, a nd ˆris the unit vector in the scattering
direction defined as ˆ r=/vector r/r. Function f(/vector r,/vector ri) refers to the scattering function for incident direction a t/vector ri
implicit in the scattering field ps(/vector r) and the scattering direction ˆ r.
First we consider the scattering from the cylinder. Then in E q. (14), the field psis the scattering field
taking values at the surface of scatterer. According to [8], this can be mimicked by that of an infinite cylinder
of the same radius. On the surface of the cylinder (not the ima ge), from Eq. (3) the scattered field can be
expressed as

4The reduced target strength is evaluated from
TS = 10 log10(σ). (27)
This equation bears much similarity with the scattering str ength for the infinite cylinder given in Eq. (13).
In the following section, we should compute the target stren gth for finite cylinders near a pressure release
boundary. In particularly, we are interested in the situati on of backscattering, in which the scattering
direction is opposite to the incident direction, i. e. /vector r=−/vector ri.
II. NUMERICAL RESULTS
Some interesting properties are found for acoustic scatter ing by a cylindrical object beneath a flat pressure
release plane. Two kinds of cylinders are considered: air-fi lled and rigid cylinders.
Let us first consider the sound scattering by an air-filled cyl inder of length L. Although the theory
developed in the last section allows the study of scattering for arbitrary incident and scattering angles, we
will first concentrate on backscattering. In addition, with out notification we will consider the incident at
an angle of π/4 with respect to the normal to the flat surface. Fig. 2 shows th e reduced backscattering
target strength in an arbitrary unit as a function of frequen cy in terms of the non-dimensional parameter
ka. The cylinder is placed at the depths of d/a= 1,2,4,8, and 16 respectively. For comparison, the
situation that the boundary is absent is also plotted. Witho ut boundary, the scattering by a single cylinder
has a resonant peak at about ka= 0.005. When a flat pressure-plane is added, the scattering from the
cylinder will be greatly suppressed for most frequencies un der consideration, except for the resonance. At
the resonance, the scattering is in fact enhanced by the pres ence of the surface. This is a unique feature for
the cylinder situation. Another effect of the boundary is to s hift the resonance peak of the cylinder towards
higher frequencies. As the distance between the cylinder an d the surface is decreased, the position of the
peak moves further towards higher frequencies, and the reso nance peak is becoming narrower and narrower.
Before the resonance peak, there is a prominent dip in the sca ttering strength. For the extreme case that
the cylinder touches the boundary, the significant dip appea rs immediately before the resonance. This dip
is not observed in the case of a spherical bubble beneath a bou ndary[7].
When the distance between the cylinder and the surface is inc reased, the resonance peak moves to lower
frequencies until reaching that of the cylinder without a bo undary. In Fig. 3, the reduced target strength
is plotted against kaford/a= 25,50,and 100. Here we see that, as the cylinder is moved further fro m
the surface, regular oscillatory features appear in the sca ttering strength around the values without the
boundary. The observed peaks and nulls are mainly due to inte rference effects between the cylinder and
the boundary, as these oscillatory features persist even wh en the multiple scattering is turned off. The
nulls, appearing at some frequency intervals, are more nume rous and are spaced more closely together as the
cylinder is moved away from the boundary. The peak and null st ructures are somewhat in accordance with
the Lloyd’s mirror effect. These features are in analogy with the results shown for the case of a spherical
bubble beneath the boundary [7]. However, there is a distinc t difference. Namely, the separation between
the peaks or between the nulls decreases as the frequency inc reases.
We have also studied the contributions from different oscill ation modes of a cylinder to the scattering.
From Eq. (27), it is clear that the scattering is contributed from various vibration modes and the contributions
are represented by the summation in which the index ndenotes the modes. We find that when the cylinder
is located far enough from the surface, the scattering is dom inated by n= 0 mode for low frequencies (e. g.
ka <1); mode n= 0 is the omni-directional pulsating mode of the cylinder, i . e. its scattering is uniform in
every direction. When the cylinder is moved close to the surf ace, higher vibration modes become important.
These properties are illustrated in Fig. 4. For the extreme c ase that the cylinder touches the boundary as
shown in Fig. 4(a), the result from including only n= 0 mode is compared with that including all modes.
It is interesting to see that the effect of coupling the pulsat ing mode with other modes is only to shift the
resonance and dip peaks. For low frequencies away from the re sonance and the dip, the effect from higher
models is not evident. As the cylinder is move away from the su rface, the effect of higher modes gradually
decreases. For the case d/a= 4, the effect of higher modes (i. e. |n| ≥2) virtually diminished.
The effects of the incident angle on the back scattering is sho wn by Fig. 5. The results show that the
scattering is highly anisotropic except at the scattering d ip and peak positions; note the scale used in plotting
Fig. 5. The fact that the scattering dip does not rely on the in cident angle implies that it is not caused by
the Lloyd mirror effect. This is because if it were due to the Ll oyd mirror effect, different incident angles
would lead to different acoustic paths in reflection and incid ence and thus result in different phases, causing
the scattering pattern to vary.
Next we consider scattering from a rigid cylinder beneath a p ressure release boundary. For the rigid
cylinder, in contrast to the air cylinder case, the scatteri ng is not so significantly reduced by the presence
5of the surface. Instead, it is interesting that the presence of the surface in fact can enhance the scattering
strength for most frequencies, except for the frequencies a t which the Lloyd effect comes into function. This
enhancement is particularly obvious in the low frequency re gime. Similar to the air cylinder case, when the
distance is large enough, the Lloyd mirror effect causes the s cattering strength to oscillate around the values
without the boundary for low frequencies. Fig. 6 shows that f or low frequencies, the frequency dependence
of the scattering is similar for different distances between the cylinder and the surface. For high frequencies,
e. g.ka >0.4, the multiple scattering is evident and is shown to increas e the scattering strength.
The backscattering by the rigid cylinder under the boundary is anisotropic. This is illustrated in Fig. 7,
which shows the backscattering target strength as a functio n ofkafor different incidence angles. The
separation between he cylinder and the surface is d/a= 4, and the incidence angle is measured with respect
to the x-axis, referring to Fig. 1. For low frequencies, i. e. ka < 0.1, the scattering is strongest when the
incidence is normal to the surface (i. e. for the zero degree i ncidence). Different from the above air cylinder
case, the dips in the scattering strength depend on the incid ent angles.
Finally we consider the bistatic scattering. The scatterin g is in the x−yplane (See Fig. 1). We fix the
incident angle at 45 degree with respect to the normal to the b oundary. The scattering azimuthal angle is
measured from the negative direction of the x-axis (Referring to Fig. 1). Fig. 8 shows the scattering angl e
dependence of the bistatic scattering target strength for t he air filled and rigid cylinders respectively. It is
interesting to see that when the frequency is low, the scatte ring tends to be symmetric around the normal to
the boundary, i. e. the zero degree scattering angle, for bot h the air-filled and rigid cylinders. The scattering
is strongest at the zero scattering angles. This result indi cates that when the frequency is low, the scattering
from a cylinder near a boundary bears similar properties of t he acoustic radiation from a dipole source,
independent of the incident angle. This feature seems again st the intuition at the first sight, but can be
understood as follows. The scattering from a target can be re garded as a second source radiating waves into
the space. From, for instance, Eq. (3), we know that the radia ted wave consists of the contributions from all
vibration modes of the cylinder. The mode of n= 0 is the monopole which radiates an omni-directional wave.
At low frequencies, this monopole radiation dominates. In t he low frequency regime, both the cylinder and
its image radiate waves but in the opposite phase. If the mono pole mode dominates, the resulting radiation
should appear as that from a dipole source: the strongest rad iation is along the dipole axis. This is in fact
exactly what is shown by Fig. 8. Comparing Figs. 5 with 7, howe ver, the fact that the bacskscattering relies
on the incident angle indicates that the overall bistatic sc attering does depend on the incident angle. When
the frequency is increased to a certain extent, the bistatic scattering pattern is no longer symmetric around
the normal to the boundary.
III. SUMMARY
In this paper, we considered acoustic scattering by cylinde rs near a pressure-release boundary. A novel
method has been developed to describe the multiple scatteri ng between the boundary and the cylinder in
terms of an infinite modal series. The complete solution has b een derived. Although the theory developed
allows for study of various cylinders, for brevity only the c ases of air-filled and rigid cylinders are considered.
The numerical results show that the presence of the boundary modifies the scattering strength in various
ways. One of the most significant discoveries is that the pres ent of the surface can greatly suppress the
scattering from ‘soft’ targets while may enhance rigid bodi es. In addition, comparison has been made with
the previously investigated case of a spherical air-bubble beneath a pressure-release boundary. The study
presented here may link to various applications such as acou stic scattering from ocean-surface dwelling fish
or from any underwater elongated objects including submari ne.

- 1 -On Whether People Have the
Capacity to Make Observations of
Mutually Exclusive Physical Phenomena
Douglas M. Snyder
Los Angeles, California
Abstract
It has been shown by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen that in quantum
mechanics either one of two different wave functions can characterize the same
physical existent, without a physical i nteraction responsible for which wave
function occurs. This result means that one can make predictions regarding
mutually exclusive features of a physical existent. It is important to ask
whether people have the capacity to make observations of mutually exclusive
phenomena? Our everyday experience informs us that a human observer is
capable of observing only one set of physical circumstances at a time. Evidencefrom psychology, though, indicates that people may have the capacity to make
observations of mutually exclusive physical phenomena, even though this
capacity is not generally recognized. Working independently, Sigmund Freud
and William James provided some of this evidence. How the nature of the
quantum mechanical wave function is associated with the problem posed by
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen is addressed at the end of the paper.
Text
In this paper, information has been assembled from a number of
sources in physics and psychology in order to explore an issue in quantum
mechanical measurement, namely the possibility of measuring mutually
exclusive physical phenomena. The resolution of this issue has important
implications for psychology as well as physics and, indeed, what their future
relationship with one another will be. The problem that occasioned the topic ofthis paper was initially addressed by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (1935).
Their problem concerned the ability in quantum mechanics to make predictionsregarding quantities of a physical existent that from a physical standpoint are
mutually exclusive. The question is whether human observers have the
capacity to make observations that would confirm the mutually exclusive
features characterizing the physical existent? The roots of Einstein, Podolsky,
and RosenÕs problem, as well as the primary concern of this paper, lie in theOn Whether People
- 2 -broad principles of quantum mechanics, in particular as they concern the nature
of the wave function associated with a physical entity.
Writings by Sigmund Freud and William James indicate that people may
have the capability to make observations on mutually exclusive physical
phenomena. These writings are explored. Also, current descriptions of the
mental disorders discussed by James are provided as additional evidence to
support FreudÕs and JamesÕs conclusions. How the nature of the quantum
mechanical wave function is associated with the problem posed by Einstein,
Podolsky, and Rosen is addressed at the end of the paper.
QUANTUM MECHANICS
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen showed that in quantum mechanics an
individual may know quantities of a physical existent that from a physical
standpoint are mutually exclusive.1 An example would be the spin angular
momentum components of an electron along orthogonal spatial axes. In one
situation, if the spin component of the electron along one of the axes is known
precisely (e.g., the z axis), knowledge of the spin component along one of the
other axes (e.g., the y axis) is completely uncertain. The spin component along
the y axis has a 50-50 chance of having either of two possible values. In
another situation, the spin component along the y axis can be known precisely,
and the spin component along the z axis is then completely uncertain. The spin
component along the z axis in this situation has a 50-50 chance of having either
of two possible values.
According to Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, either of these situations
can characterize the electron. Which one does depends on an event that cannot
physically affect the electron. It cannot physically affect the electron because
the change in the quantum mechanical wave function occasioned by the event
occurs instantaneously throughout space and is therefore not subject to thevelocity limitation of the special theory of relativity. The question arises: Do
human observers have the capacity to make observations of mutually exclusive
physical phenomena, such as those that characterize the electron?
There are a number of points supporting the importance of human
observation in quantum mechanical measurement. The first point is that a
quantum mechanical measurement does not take a final form until a human
1 Bohm (1951) and then Bell (1964) detailed out Einstein, Podolsky, and RosenÕs proposal.
Experimental evidence (e.g., Aspect, Dalibard, & Roger, 1982) supports this proposal.On Whether People
- 3 -observer records an observation, due to the ability to consider all of the physical
ÒmeasurementÓ interactions as quantum mechanical interactions (Wigner,
1961/1983; Snyder, 1992). A second point is that the occurrence of what are
called ÒnegativeÓ observations indicates that a person, in his or her
observational capacity, is centrally involved in making measurements in
quantum mechanics (Bergquist, Hulet, Itano, & Wineland, 1986; Epstein,
1945; Nagourney, Sandberg, & Dehmelt, 1986; Renninger, 1960; Sauter,
Neuhauser, Blatt & Toschek, 1986). In negative observations, there is no
physical interaction in a measurement of some physical quantity, the physical
existent generally changes, and yet a human observer is involved in the
measurement process. Thus, the human observer is central to measurement in
quantum mechanics.
How can we understand that there then exists the possibility of a person
making mutually exclusive observations on a physical existent in quantum
mechanics? Our everyday experience informs us that a human observer is
capable of observing only one set of physical circumstances at a time.
EVIDENCE FROM PSYCHOLOGY
Evidence from the discipline of psychology indicates that individuals
indeed have the capacity to simultaneously observe mutually exclusive features
of a physical existent. Research on the experiential and behavioral adaptation toinversion of incoming light can be combined with experimental scenarios from
quantum mechanics involving mutually exclusive physical circumstances toshow the aforementioned capacity of human observers. It can be shown for
example in analogous circumstances to that usually discussed in the
Schrdinger cat gedankenexperimient that essentially SchrdingerÕs cat can
both be alive and dead for different observers and very likely for the same
observer (Snyder, 1992, 1993, 1995a, 1995b, 1997).
There is other evidence as well that is relevant to the proposed enhanced
observational capacities of humans that has not previously been brought to bear
on the issues before us. The evidence in each case is not new, and it stems
from the observations of keen observers of the human mind, James and Freud.
The quotes that follow are long ones. Both James and Freud stated their
positions very well, and the matter before them was subtle as evidenced by
FreudÕs own question on the subject regarding whether the matter of his
concern was real or illusory and by James noting how much easier conceptuallyOn Whether People
- 4 -things would be if mutually exclusive selves and/or consciousnesses were not
supported by empirical data.
The psychological tendency in people to maintain a sense of wholeness
and integrity is a strong one. It has been considered, for example, a hallmark
of mental health. Yet the data indicate that the mind has a larger capability for
maintaining diverse, or mutually exclusive, viewpoints at the same time. It is
this feature of the mind that both James and Freud were concerned with in the
work to be discussed. They saw evidence of it in those diagnosed as having amental illness, and they extended the results of their investigations with these
individuals to those who are normal.
It should be emphasized that these mutually exclusive viewpoints may
exist simultaneously. Yet, they maintain some connection to each other. That
is they affect one another, and it may be said that each would not exist without
the other. But this is very different than stating that these viewpoints are really
simply modes of expression of a unified co nsciousness. Instead they are
entities existing in a common world and thus maintaining certain relations with
one another, but nonetheless existing as distinct and separate entities.
Near the end of his life, Freud (1940a/1964) wrote a description of key
elements of psychoanalysis entitled An Outline of Psychoanalysis . In a section
of this work entitled ÒThe External World,Ó he took up a topic he had begun in
a paper that he had written about a few years before but which he never
completed. In this earlier paper, ÒSplitting of the Ego in the Process of
Defence,Ó Freud (1940b/1964) began by wondering whether the topic he was
about to discuss was really of significance or whether he had explored it in
depth before. This statement is quite curious. In this paper and in An Outline
of Psychoanalysis , Freud attempted to grapple in a new way with the issue of
there being two distinct psychological elements working within an individual,
oftentimes working at odds with one another. This, of course, seems to be a
basic premise of psychoanalysis and generally falls under the rubric of
intrapsychic dynamics. Indeed, the direction of an individualÕs personality afterchildhood is in FreudÕs psychoanalysis determined by the relative balance of
energy at the dis posal of the ego on the one hand and other psychological
structures such as the id and super-ego as well as the demands put on the ego
by the external world.
FreudÕs curiosity though was drawn anew to this incongruity that a
single individual could simultaneously have these conflicting psychologicalOn Whether People
- 5 -elements. He approached the topic of mutually exclusive situations involving
the mind initially from areas where this mutual exclusivity is readily apparent
and then proceeded to work toward the less extreme types of mental disorder
and finally to normal psychological functioning. FreudÕs discussion is
compelling and points toward the need to systematically explore the potential inindividuals to simultaneously manifest mutually exclusive modes of
psychological functioning. What generally passes as ÒnormalityÓ in our own
experience masks these distinct modes in some sort of integration or
unification. But this ÒintegrationÓ is not actually a fusing of the mutually
exclusive modes. It is more of an enveloping of the modes as the ego exerts as
much effort as it can to enwrap them in a skin that makes them appear
integrated, consistent, and understandable. Thus the act of eating for example
can express both destructive and constructive features of the mind and be seenas a single act, though these mutually exclusive features cannot reduced to a
single feature of the mind. Psychopathological conditions, though, present
situations where a single act does not allow for fusing, or ÒintegrationÓ of,
these different psychological features and pointedly s hows that the veneer of
unification in everyday experience masks the fundamental and simultanaeous
presence of mutually exclusive psychological features.
In The Principles of Psychology , James (1899) suggested the same
point concerning ÒintegrationÓ in discussing certain behaviors of hysterics that
today would be found in individuals diagnosed with Conversion Disorder
and/or Dissociative Identity Disorder.
The simultaneously existing, mutually exclusive modes of
psychological functioning have their own perceptual systems. This being the
case, FreudÕs and JamesÕs work is significant to the problem explored in this
paper. Though their work was concerned largely with mental disorder, there is
a current running through it indicating that the mutually exclusive modes of
psychological functioning are general factors, not limited to mental disorder.
The denial that may characterize one perceptual mode in some forms of mental
illness turns into different kinds and levels of attention, or different forms of
adaptation, concerning features of the physical world for the mutually exclusivemodes of functioning in the ÒnormalÓ mind. The mutually exclusive perceptualphenomena that the mind can support can be tied to the mutually exclusive
features of a physical existent that can occur in quantum mechanics.
First, a portion of ÒThe External WorldÓ from FreudÕs An Outline of
Psychoanalysis is presented. His unfinished paper, ÒSplitting of the Ego inOn Whether People
- 6 -DefenceÓ is then presented. From The Principles of Psychology , part of the
chapter entitled ÒThe Relation of Minds to Other ThingsÓ is presented.
AN OUTLINE OF PSYCHOANALYSIS : THE EXTERNAL WORLD
According to Freud, the ego is the psychological structure that has the
executive duties for mental functioning. It manages the conflicting demands
exerted by other psychological structures and those imposed by the external
world. In its executive role, the ego is responsible for rational thought as well
as consciousness.
We have repeatedly had to insist on the fact that the ego owes its
origin as well as the most important of its acquired
characteristics to its relation to the real external world. We are
thus prepared to assume that the egoÕs pathological states, in
which it most approximates once again to the id, are founded on
cessation or slackening of that relation to the external world.
This tallies very well with what we learn from clinical
experience -namely, that the precipitating cause of the outbreak
of psychosis is either that reality has become intolerably painful
or that the instincts have become extraordinarily intensified -both
of which, in view of the rival claims made on the ego by the id
and the external world, must lead to the same result. (p. 201)
This is a straightforward view of psychoses in which the ego is simply
too weak to stand up to and manage the demands of the id or the external world
and the individual simply withdraws from rational interaction with the physical
world. The ego, which is the psychological structure that interfaces with the
external world, is overwhelmed. The pleasure principle dominates
psychological functioning according to which the individual seeks immediate
gratification without distinguishing whether the source of the gratification is realor illusory.
The problem of psychoses would be simple and perspicuous if
the egoÕs detachment from reality could be carried through
completely. (p. 201)
But Freud says the situation is not so simple. Rather we get a situation
like two executive structures, two egos each functioning independently of the
other. Freud discussed this situation in the case of psychoses.On Whether People
- 7 -But that seems to happen only rarely or perhaps never. Even in
a state so far removed from the reality of the external world as
one of hallucinatory confusion, one learns from patients after
their recovery that at the time in some corner of their mind (as
they put it) there was a normal person hidden, who, like a
detached spectator, watched the hubbub of illness go past him
[italics added]. I do not know if we may assume that this is so
in general, but I can report the same of other p sychoses with a
less tempestuous course. I call to mind a case of chronic
paranoia in which after each attack of jealousy a dream conveyedto the analyst a correct picture of the precipitating cause, free
from any delusion. An interesting contrast was thus brought to
light: while we are accustomed to discover from the dreams of
neurotics jealousies which are alien to their waking lives, in this
psychotic case the delusion which dominated the patient in the
day-time was corrected by his dream. We may probably take it
as being generally true that what occurs in all these cases is a
psychical split. Two psychical attitudes have been formed
instead of a single one
-one, the normal one which takes account
of reality, and another which under the influence of the instincts
detaches the ego from reality. The two exist alongside of each
other [italics added except for ÒsplitÓ]. The issue depends on
their relative strength. If the second is or becomes the stronger,
the necessary precondition for a psychosis is present. If the
relation is reversed, then there is an apparent cure of the
delusional disorder. Actually it has only retreated into the
unconscious just as numerous observations lead us to believe
that the delusion existed ready-made for a long time before its
manifest irruption. (. p. 201-202)
Freud then extended his discussion of the splitting of the ego to other
psychopathological conditions. He began by discussing fetishes.
The view which postulates that in all psychoses there is a
splitting of the ego could not call for so much notice if it did notturn out to apply to other states more like the neuroses and,
finally, to the neuroses themselves [italics added except for
Òsplitting of the egoÓ]. I first became convinced of this in casesof fetishism . This abnormality, which may be counted as one ofOn Whether People
- 8 -the perversions, is, as is well known, based on the patient (who
is almost always male) not recognizing the fact that females have
no penis -a fact which is extremely undesirable to him since it is
a proof of the possibility of his being castrated himself. He
therefore disavows his own sense-perception which showed
him that the female genitals lack a penis and holds fast to the
contrary conviction. The disavowed perception does not,
however, remain entirely without influence for, in spite of
everything, he has not the courage to assert that he actually saw
a penis. He takes hold of something else instead -a part of the
body or some other object -and assigns it the role of the penis
which he cannot do wi thout. It is usually something that he in
fact saw at the moment at which he saw the female genitals, or itis something that can suitably serve as a symbolic substitute forthe penis. Now it would be incorrect to describe this process
when a fetish is constructed as a splitting of the ego; it is a
compromise formed with the help of displacement, such as we
have been familiar with in dreams. (pp. 202-203)
It is a compromise where the underlying concern to the individual is
unconscious and yet there is some allowance for his concern and the perception
accompanying it, namely the existence of a penis in a woman.
But our observations show us still more. The creation of the
fetish was due to an intention to destroy the evidence for the
possibility of castration, so that fear of castration could be
avoided. If females, like other living creatures, possess a penis,
there is no need to tremble for the continued possession of oneÕsown penis. (p. 203)
Here we have the origin of the development of two executive functions,
the splitting of the ego. Also, note that there is a consistent and thorough basisfor the development of an alternative executive function. The individualÕs
intention is to get rid of the possibility of castration, an attempt that cannot
wholly succeed because according to Freud, this possibility is a basic ele ment
of psychosexual development. Thus we arrive at the beginning of two mutuallyexclusive attitudes toward the same phenomenon. Note though that this split
ego nonetheless relies on an some acknowledgement by at least one part of theego (in this case, the part of the ego that disavows the individualÕs perception)On Whether People
- 9 -of the other executive function that together with the former constitute the split
ego.
Then Freud showed that we indeed have two executive functions that
appear to be functioning independently of each other. The ÒnormalÓ executive
function develops independently of the ÒabnormalÓ one.
Now we come across fetishists who have developed the same
fear of castration as non-fetishists and react in the same way to
it. Their behaviour is therefore simultaneously expressing two
contrary premisses [italics added]. On the one hand they are
disavowing the fact of their perception -the fact that they saw no
penis in the female genitals; and on the other hand they are
recognizing the fact that females have no penis and are drawingthe correct conclusions from it. (p. 203)
Note that both attitudes involve perception and thus the involvement of the ego
in both is essential. The ego is split, maintaining contrary attitudes in response
to the fear generated by sexual impulses seeking uninhibited expression.
The two attitudes persist side by side throughout their lives
without influencing each other. Here is what may rightly be
called a splitting of the ego [italics added]. This circumstance
also enables us to understand how it is that fetishism is so often
only partially developed. It does not govern the choice of object
exclusively but leaves room for a greater or lesser amount of
normal sexual behaviour; sometimes, indeed, it retires into
playing a modest part or is limited to a mere hint. In festishists,
therefore, the detachment of the ego from the reality of the
external world has never succeeded completely. (p. 203)
Freud then proceeded one step further by showing how the splitting of
the ego is not limited to psychoses and fetishes. He showed how in the general
process of psychological development, an individual may disavow aspects of
their perceptions that ameliorate some demand being made on a child. Note that
these demands from the external world assume importance in large measure
because of instinctual demands that are not acceptable in the external world.
Freud wrote that this disavowal is at the heart of the development of the two
independently functioning executive functions.On Whether People
- 10 -It must not be thought that fetishism presents an exceptional
case as regards a splitting of the ego; it is merely a particularly
favourable subject for studying the question. Let us return to
our thesis that the childish ego, under the domination of the real
world, gets rid of undesirable instinctual demands by what are
called repressions. We will now supplement this by further
asserting that, during the same period of life, the ego often
enough finds itself in the position of fending off some demand
from the external world which it feels distressing and that this is
effected by means of a disavowal of the perceptions which bringto knowledge this demand from reality. Disavowals of this kindoccur very often and not only with fetishists; and whenever weare in a position to study them they turn out to be half measures,
incomplete attempts at detachment from reality. The disavowal
is always supplemented by an acknowledgement; two contrary
and independent attitudes always arise and result in the situationof there being a splitting of the ego. Once more the issue
depends on which of the two can seize hold of the greater
intensity. (pp. 203-204)
Freud then noted again that the process of the splitting of the ego, is not
uncommon to psychological development. Freud then noted the existence of
distinct and opposing attitudes that are represented in behaviors of the neurotic.
These are found in neurotic symptoms.
The facts of this splitting of the ego, which we have just
described, are neither so new nor so strange as they may at first
appear. It is indeed a universal characteristic of neuroses that
there are present in the subjectÕs mental life, as regards some
particular beh aviour, two different attitudes, contrary to each
other and independ ent of each other. In the case of neuroses,
however, one of these attitudes belongs to the ego and the
contrary one, which is repressed, belongs to the id [italics
added]. (p. 204)
Freud then noted that neurosis and, I believe, fetishism are different
topographically or structurally regarding the splitting of the ego, not in terms ofprocess. He noted that they both involve compromise between two distinct andopposing attitudes without fully distinguishing what the essential difference is.
Freud implied that as far as our general awareness is concerned, individualsOn Whether People
- 11 -function with a unified sense of our experience and that the simultaneous
existence of the distinct and opposing attitudes is not what we generally feel. Ifwe become aware of such attitudes, they generally are in a sequence, one at a
time, not all at the same time.
The difference between this case and the other [discussed in the
previous paragraph] is essentially a topographical or structuralone, and it is not always easy to decide in an individual instancewith which of the two possibilities one is dealing. They have,
however, the following important characteristic in common.
Whatever the ego does in its efforts of defence, whether it seeksto disavow a portion of the real external world or whether it
seeks to reject an instinctual demand from the internal world, its
success is never complete and unqualified. The outcome always
lies in two contrary attitudes, of which the defeated, weaker
one, no less than the other, leads to psychical complications. In
conclusion, it is only necessary to point out how little of all
these processes becomes known to us through our conscious
perception [where we act with a unified sense of experience].
(p. 204)

SPLITTING OF THE EGO IN THE PROCESS OF DEFENSE
According to Strachey (1964), this paper was written shortly before An
Outline of Psychoanalysis .3 Freud (1940b/1964) began this work by noting
that he was unsure whether the conflicting attitudes in neurosis, and in normal
behavior as well, are fundamentally different than that found for a splitting of
the ego in psychoses and fetishes.
I find myself for a moment in the interesting position of not
knowing whether what I have to say should be regarded as
2 [discussed in the previous paragraph] is from the original text.
3 ÒSplitting of the Ego in the Process of DefenceÓ is presented after the text from An Outline
of Psychoanalysis because in the latter work Freud extends his notion of the splitting of the
ego to neurosis and and by implication to general psychological functioning. Strachey (1964)
wrote that in An Outline of Psychoanalysis , Freud Òextends the application of the idea of a
splitting of the ego beyond the cases of fetishism and of the psychoses to neuroses in general.
Thus the topic links up with the wider question of the Ôalteration of the egoÕ which is
invariably brought about by the processes of defenceÓ (p. 274).On Whether People
- 12 -something long familiar and obvious or as something entirely
new and puzzling. But I am inclined to think the latter.
I have at last been struck by the fact that the ego of a person
whom we know as a patient in analysis must, dozens of years
earlier, when it was young, have behaved in a remarkable
manner in certain particular situations of pressure. We can
assign in general and somewhat vague terms the conditions
under which this comes about, by saying that it occurs under theinfluence of a psychical trauma. I prefer to select a single
sharply defined special case, though it certainly does not cover
all the possible modes of causation. (p. 275)
Freud began by talking about the general process of development that
may lead to psychopathology. The distinguishing characteristic of
psychopathology for Freud is that the instinctual demand is stronger than the
capability of the ego to manage it in the face of reality.
Let us suppose, then, that a childÕs ego is under the sway of
a powerful instinctual demand which it is accustomed to satisfyand that it is suddenly frightened by an experience which teachesit that the continuance of this satisfaction will result in an almostintolerable real danger. It must now decide either to recognize
the real danger, give way to it and renounce the instinctual
satisfaction, or to disavow reality and make itself believe that
there is no reason for fear, so that it may be able to retain the
satisfaction. Thus there is a conflict between the demand by theinstinct and the prohibition by reality. (p. 275)
Here is the prototypical developmental situation c onfronting a child
where the desire for instinctual satisfaction must be managed because of
perceived negative consequences from the environment that will result from thecontinuation of behavior directed toward this satisfaction. The path to
psychosis lies in a strong disavowal of reality. The path to psychological
maturity and to neurosis lies in reducing instinctual satisfaction.
4
4 These alternatives toward satisfying the demands of the environment or of instinct actually
blend with one another in the individual. There may well be a simple denial of some event
while intact reality testing is maintained. There is very often instinctual satisfaction where
the primary reaction of the individual is to control it and even to minimize it, particularly its
primitive expression.On Whether People
- 13 -But Freud was headed somewhere else, somewhere that can only be
found by a more subtle consideration of psychodynamics. Freud presents the
situation where two executive agencies take different approaches toward
handling the drive to instinctual expression in the face of limitations imposed bythe environment. One of these agencies appears in some ways as the ego that istoo weak to stand up to the instinctual demands. This agency develops a
symptom, the fetish, that allows for some disguised primitive sexual
expression. The other agency appears like the normal ego engaging in normal
mature sexual expression. But this agency is anything but normal, relying on
the other one to provide the Òcover,Ó a way of dealing with the fear generated
by the desired instinctual expression so that this agency can go on its merry
way without being aware of this fear. This situation Freud refers to as a
splitting of the ego. The executive agencies are intert wined, but yet for all
intents and purposes are also independent as each embodies what generally is
considered either a normal, healthy ego or a neurotic one.
But in fact the child takes neither course, or rather he takes both
simultaneously, which comes to the same thing. He replies to
the conflict with two contrary reactions, both of which are valid
and effective. On the one hand, with the help of certain
mechanisms he rejects reality and refuses to accept any
prohibition; on the other hand, in the same breath he recognizes
the danger of reality, takes over the fear of that danger as a
pathological symptom and tries subsequently to divest himself
of the fear. It must be confessed that this is a very ingenious
solution of the difficulty. Both of the parties to the dispute
obtain their share: the instinct is allowed to retain its satisfactionand proper respect is shown to reality. But everything has to be
paid for in one way or another, and this success is achieved at
the price of a rift in the ego which never heals but which
increases as time goes on. The two contrary reactions to the
conflict persist as the centre-point of a splitting of the ego. The
whole process seems so strange to us because we take for
granted the synthetic nature of the processes of the ego. But we
are clearly at fault in this. The synthetic function of the ego,
though it is of such extraordinary importance, is subject to
particular conditions and is liable to a whole number of
disturbances. (pp. 275-276)On Whether People
- 14 -Freud then introduced the specific features of the case history he
presented that illustrates how the general principles discussed in the previous
quoted paragraph may be manifested.
It will assist if I introduce an individual case history into this
schematic disquisition. A little boy, while he was between three
and four years of age, had become acquainted with the female
genitals through being seduced by an older girl. After these
relations had been broken off, he carried on the sexual
stimulation set going in this way by zealously practicing manual
masturbation; but he was soon caught at it by his energetic nurseand was threatened with castration, the carrying out of which
was, as usual, ascribed to his father. There were thus present inthis case conditions calculated to produce a tremendous effect offright. A threat of castration by itself need not produce a great
impression. A child will refuse to believe in it, for he cannot
easily imagine the possibility of losing such a highly prized part
of his body. His [earlier] sight of the female genitals might have
convinced our child of that possibility. But he drew no such
conclusion from it, since his disinclination to doing so was too
great and there was no motive present which could compel him
to. On the contrary, whatever uneasiness he may have felt was
calmed by the reflection that what was missing would yet make
its appearance: she would grow one (a penis) later. Anyone whohas observed enough small boys will be able to recollect having
come across some such remark at the sight of a baby sisterÕs
genitals. But it is different if both factors are present together. Inthat case the threat revives the memory of the perception which
had hitherto been regarded as harmless and finds in that memorya dreaded confirmation. The little boy now thinks he
understands why the girlÕs genitals showed no sign of a penis
and no longer ventures to doubt that his own genitals may meet
with the same fate. Thenceforward he cannot help believing in
the reality of the danger of castration. (pp. 276-277)
The usual result of the fright of castration, the result that
passes as the normal one, is that, either immediately or after
some considerable struggle, the boy gives way to the threat and
obeys the prohibition either wholly or at least in part (that is, byOn Whether People
- 15 -no longer touching his genitals with his hand). In other words,
he gives up, in whole or in part, the satisfaction of the instinct.
We are prepared to hear, however, that our present patient foundanother way out. He c reated a substitute for the penis which he
missed in females -that is to say, a fetish. In so doing, it is true
that he had disavowed reality, but he had saved his own penis.
So long as he was not obliged to acknowledge that females have
lost their penis, there was no need for him to believe the threat
that had been made against him: he need have no fears for his
own penis, so he could proceed with his mastu rbation
undisturbed. (p. 277)
Freud noted that the fetish involved a loosening of the tie to reality, but
unlike the psychoses, involved a displacement of value only.
This behaviour on the part of our patient strikes us forcibly as
being a turning away from reality -a procedure which we should
prefer to reserve for psychoses. And it is in fact not very
different. Yet we will suspend our judgement, for upon closer
inspection we shall discover a not unimportant distinction. Theboy did not simply contradict his perceptions and hallucinate a
penis where there was none to be seen; he effected no more than
a displacement of value -he transferred the importance of the
penis to another part of the body, a procedure in which he was
assisted by the mechanism of regression (in a manner which
need not here be explained). This displacement, it is true,
related only to the female body; as regards his own penis
nothing was changed. (p. 277)
Freud wrote the final part of this unfinished piece. He discussed the
widely differing behaviors reflective of the functioning of two independent
psychological agencies.
This way of dealing with reality, which almost deserves to
be described as artful, was decisive as regards the boyÕs
practical behaviour. He continued with his masturbation as
though it implied no danger to his penis; but at the same time, incomplete contradiction to his apparent boldness or indifference,
he developed a symptom which showed that he nevertheless didrecognize the danger. He had been threatened with beingOn Whether People
- 16 -castrated by his father, and immediately afterwards,
simultaneously with the creation of his fetish, he developed an
intense fear of his father punishing him, which it required the
whole force of his masculinity to master and overcompensate.
This fear of his father, too, was silent on the subject of
castration: by the help of regression to an oral phase, it assumedthe form of a fear of being eaten by his father. At this point it is
impossible to forget a primitive fragment of Greek mythology
which tells how Kronos, the old Father God, swallowed his
children and sought to swallow his youngest son Zeus like the
rest, and how Zeus was saved by the craft of his mother and
later on castrated his father. But we must return to our case
history and add that the boy produced yet another symptom,
though it was a slight one, which he has retained to this day.
This was an anxious susceptibility against either of his little toes
being touched, as though, in all the to and fro between
disavowal and acknowledgement, it was nevertheless castration
that found the clearer expression.... (pp. 277-278)
Now JamesÕs work will be explored concerning the possibility of the
mind simultaneously manifesting what James referred to as mutually exclusive
consciousnesses.
T
HE PRINCIPLES OF PSYCHOLOGY
Immediately before beginning his section of ÒUnconsciousness in
Hysterics,Ó James (1899) wrote:
a lot of curious observations made on hysterical and hypnotic
subjects, which prove the existence of a highly developed
consciousness in places where it has hitherto not been suspectedat all. These observations throw such a novel light upon human
nature that I must give them is some detail. That at least four
different and in a certain sense rival observers should agree in
the same conclusion justifies us in the accepting the conclusion
as true [italics added]. (p. 202)

5 James listed more than four individuals in the material presented here who could meet this
criterion. Among them are Pierre Janet, Jules Janet, Binet, Gurney, Beaunis, Bernheim, andPitres.On Whether People
- 17 -ÔUnconsciousnessÕ in Hysterics
James began by describing a common symptom of severe cases of what
was known as hysteria, namely some alteration of the bodyÕs sensibility that
did not correspond to a meaningful organic disease pattern.
One of the most constant symptoms in persons suffering
from hysteric disease in its extreme forms consists in alte rations
of the natural sensibility of various parts and organs of the
body. Usually the alteration is in the direction of defect, or
an¾sthesia. One or both eyes are blind, or color-blind, or there
is hemianopsia (blindness to one half the field of view), or the
field is contracted. Hearing, taste, smell may similarly
disappear, in part or in totality. Still more striking are the
cutaneous an¾sthesias. The old witch-finders looking for the
ÔdevilÕs sealsÕ learned well the existence of those insensible
patches on the skin of their victims, to which the minute
physical examinations of recent medicine have but recently
attracted attention again. They may be scattered anywhere, but
are very apt to affect one side of the body. Not infrequently they
affect an entire lateral half, from head to foot; and the insensibleskin of, say, the left side will then be found separated from the
naturally sensitive skin of the right by a perfectly sharp line of
demarcation down the middle of the front and back. Sometimes,
most remarkable of all, the entire skin, hands, feet, face,
everything, and the mucous membranes, muscles and joints so
far as they can be explored, become completely insensible
without the other vital functions becoming gravely disturbed.
(pp. 202-203)
James explained the ways known at the time that could make hysterical
anesthesia disappear, in particular by noting the use of a hypnotic trance.
These hysterical an¾sthesias can be made to disappear more
or less completely by various odd processes. It has been
recently found that magnets, plates of metal, or the electrodes of
a battery, placed against the skin, have this peculiar power. And
when one side is relieved in this way, the an¾sthesia is often
found to have transferred itself to the opposite side, which until
then was well. Whether these strange effects of magnets andOn Whether People
- 18 -metals be due to their direct physiological action, or to a prior
effect on the patientÕs mind (Ôexpectant attentionÕ orÔsuggestionÕ) is still a mooted question. A still better awakener
of sensibility is the hypnotic trance, into which many of these
patients can be very easily placed, and in which their lost
sensibility not infrequently becomes entirely restored. Such
returns of sensibility succeed the times of insensibility and
alternate with them. (p. 203)
Then James went one step further and noted that hysterical anesthesia
and its absence, alt ernating in some kind of cyclical pattern, need not be the
only scheme of presentation of these different states of cons ciousness. Also,
these different states may be simultaneous, giving rise to JamesÕs contention
that there may exist different forms of consciousnesses simultaneously which
are independent of one another.
But Messrs. Pierre Janet and A. Binet have shown that during
the times of an¾sthesia, and coexisting with it, sensibility to the
an¾esthetic parts is also there, in the form of a secondary
consciousness entirely cut off from the primary or normal one,
but susceptible of being tapped and made to testify to its
existence in various odd ways. (p. 203)
James noted that hysterics may have a very limited scope of attention
and that these individuals are open to a Òmethod of distractionÓ that allows both
consciousnesses to express themselves simultaneously.
Chief amongst these is what M. Janet calls Ôthe method of
distraction .Õ These hysterics are apt to possess a very narrow
field of attention, and to be unable to think of more than onething at a time. When talking with any person they forget
everything else. ÒWhen Lucie talked directly with anyone,Ó
says M. Janet, Òshe ceased to be able to hear any other person.
You may stand behind her, call her by name, shout abuse into
her ears, without making her turn round; or place yourself
before her, show her objects, touch her, etc., without attracting
her notice. When finally she becomes aware of you, she thinks
you have just come into the room again, and greets you
accordingly. This singular forgetfulness makes her liable to tellOn Whether People
- 19 -all her secrets aloud, unrestrained by the presence of unsuitable
auditors.Ó (p. 203)
James noted how Janet used this Òmethod of distractionÓ to show the
simultaneous existence of different, independent consciousnesses. Note that
here the same sense, hearing, is being used by both consciousnesses
simultaneously.
Now M. Janet found in several subjects like this that if he
came up behind them whilst they were plunged in conversation
with a third party, and addressed them in a whisper, telling them
to raise their hand or perform other simple acts, they would
obey the order given, although their talking intelligence was
quite unconscious of receiving it. Leading them from one thing
to another, he made them reply by signs to his whispered
questions, and finally made them answer in writing, if a pencil
were placed in their hand. The primary consciousness
meanwhile went on with the conversation, entirely unaware of
these performances on the handÕs part. The consciousness
which presided over these latter appeared in its turn to be quite
as little disturbed by the upper consciousnessÕs concerns. This
proof by ÔautomaticÕ writing , of a secondary consciousnessÕs
existence, is the most cogent and striking one; but a crowd of
other facts prove the same thing. If I run through them rapidly,
the reader will probably be convinced. (p. 204)
James proceeded to discuss ways in which there could be a
psychological split in perception that underlaid the simultaneous existence of
mutually exclusive situations. Note the similarity to FreudÕs example of a
splitting of the ego where one executive agency appears normal but is in fact notbecause of its co-existence, and relationship, with a clearly disordered executiveagency. Also, note that the sense of touch is being used by both
consciousnesses simultaneously. One claimed that it cannot feel with one hand.The other relied on the sense of touch in that same hand to adjust to the object init.
The apparently an¾sthetic hand of these subjects, for one
thing, will often adapt itself discriminatingly to whatever object
may be put into it. With a pencil it will make writing
movements; into a pair of scissors it will put its fingers and willOn Whether People
- 20 -open and shut them, etc., etc. The primary consciousness, so to
call it, is meanwhile unable to say whether or no [sic] anything
is in the hand, if the latter be hidden from sight. ÒI put a pair of
eyeglasses into LonieÕs an¾sthetic hand, this hand opens it andraises it towards the nose, but half way thither it enters the field
of vision of Lonie, who sees it and stops stupefied: ÔWhy,Õ
says she, ÔI have an eyeglass in my left hand!ÕÓ M. Binet found
a very curious sort of connection between the apparently
an¾sthetic skin and the mind in some Salptrire-subjects.
Things placed in the hand were not felt, but thought of
(apparently in visual terms) and in no wise referred by the
subject to their starting point in the handÕs sensation. A key, a
knife, placed in the hand occasioned ideas of a key or a knife,
but the hand felt nothing. Similarly the subject thought of the
number 3, 6, etc., if the hand or finger was bent three or six
times by the operator, or if he stroked it three, six, etc., times.
(p. 204)
James also pointed out that one consciousness may have certain ideas
due to the other consciousness having had a certain experience, with the former
not knowing about the latter. James provided more examples of the
phenomenon of one consciousness being affected by an experience of the other
without the former consciousness knowing of the latterÕs experience.
In certain individuals there was found a still odder
phenomenon, which reminds one of that curious idiosyncrasy ofÔcolored hearingÕ of which a few cases have been lately
described with great care by foreign writers. These individuals,namely, saw the impression received by the hand, but could not
feel it; and the thing seen appeared by no means associated withthe hand, but more like an independent vision, which usually
interested and surprised the patient. Her hand being hidden by ascreen, she was ordered to look at another screen and to tell of
any visual image which might project itself thereon. Numbers
would then come, corresponding to the number of times the
insensible member was raised, touched, etc. Colored lines and
figures would come, corresponding to similar ones traced on thepalm; the hand itself or its fingers would come when
manipulated; and finally objects placed in it would come; but onOn Whether People
- 21 -the hand itself nothing would ever be felt. Of course simulation
would not be hard here; but M. Binet disbelieves this (usually
very shallow) explanation to be a probable one in cases in
question. (p. 205)
In a footnote on this last quote, James shows clearly that he maintained
that more than one self may exist for a person.
This whole phenomenon shows how an idea which remains
itself below the threshold of a certain conscious self [italics
added] may occasion associative effects therein. The skin-
sensations unfelt by the patients primary consciousness awaken
nevertheless their usual visual associates therein. (p. 205)
James continued by explicitly pointing out differences in perception of the same
stimuli among the various consciousnesses that exist at the same time for the
same sensory modality as evidenced by explicit responses from the subject.
The usual way in which doctors measure the delicacy of our
touch is by the compass-points. Two points are normally felt as
one whenever they are too close together for discrimination; but
what is Ôtoo closeÕ on one part of the skin may seem very far
apart on another. In the middle of the back or on the thigh, less
than 3 inches may be too close; on the finger-tip a tenth of aninch is far enough apart. Now, as tested in this way, with the
appeal made to the primary con sciousness, which talks through
the mouth and seems to hold the field alone, a certain personÕs
skin may be entirely an¾sthetic and not feel the compass-points
at all; and yet this same skin will prove to have a perfectly
normal sensibility if the appeal be made to that other secondary
or sub-consciousness, which expresses itself automatically by
writing or by movements of the hand. M. Binet, M. Pierre
Janet, and M. Jules Janet have all found this. The subject,
whenever touched, would signify Ôone pointÕ or Ôtwo points,Õ asaccurately as if she were a normal person. She would signify itonly by these movements; and of the movements themselves herprimary self would be as unconscious as of the facts they
signified, for what the submerged consciousness makes the
hand do automatically is unknown to the consciousness which
uses the mouth. (pp. 205-206)On Whether People
- 22 -James discussed similar phenomena to that presented for discriminative touch in
the case of visual perception.
Messrs. Bernheim and Pitres have also proved, by
observations, too complicated to be given in this spot, that the
hysterical blindness is no real blindness at all. The eye of an
hysteric which is totally blind when the other or seeing eye is
shut, will do its share of vision perfectly well when both eyes
are open together. But even where both eyes are semi-blind
from hysterical disease, the method of automatic writing proves
that their perceptions exist, only cut off from communication
with the upper consciousness. M. Binet has found the hand of
his patients unconsciously writing down words which their eyeswere vainly endeavoring to Ôsee,Õ i.e., to bring to the upper
consciousness. Their submerged consciousness was of course
seeing them, or the hand could not have written as it did.
Colors are similarly perceived by the sub-conscious self, which
the hysterically color-blind eyes cannot bring to the normal
consciousness. Pricks, burns, and pinches on the an¾sthetic
skin, all unnoticed by the upper self, are recollected to have beensuffered, and complained of, as soon as the under self gets a
chance to express itself by the passage of the subject into
hypnotic trance. (p. 206)
James then summarized the results and stated his conclusion that an
individual may show mutually exclusive consciousnesses that exist
simultaneously. Importantly, he noted that these consciousnesses were not
aware of the same object at the same time. He called this characteristic
Òcomplementary.Ó He exemplified this with the case of the post-hypnotic trancebehavior of Lucie.
It must be admitted, therefore, that in certain persons, at
least, the total possible consciousness may be split into parts
which coexist but mutually ignore each other, and share the
objects of knowledge between them. More remarkable still, theyare complementary. Give an object to one of the
consciousnesses, and by that fact you remove it from the other
or others [italics added]. Barring a certain common fund of
information, like the command of language, etc., what the upperOn Whether People
- 23 -self knows the under self is ignorant of, and vice versa . (p.
206)6
James then provided an example of the conclusion that he just drew that
led to his discussion of a second self, or executive agency, besides the one that
is shown publicly.
M. Janet has proved this beautifully in his subject Lucie.
The following experiment will serve as the type of the rest: In
her trance he covered her lap with cards, each bearing a number.
He then told her that on waking she should not see any card
whose number was a multiple of three. This is the ordinary so-
called Ôpost-hypnotic suggestion,Õ now well known, and for
which Lucie was a well-adapted subject. Accordingly, when shewas awakened and asked about the papers on her lap, she
counted and said she saw those only whose number was not a
multiple of 3. To the 12, 18, 9, etc., she was blind. But the
hand, when the sub-conscious self was interrogated by the usualmethod of engrossing the upper self in another conversation,
wrote that the only cards in LucieÕs lap were those numbered
12, 18, 9, etc., and on being asked to pick up all the cards
which were there, picked up these and let the others lie.
Similarly when the sight of certain things was suggested to the
sub-conscious Lucie, the normal Lucie suddenly became
partially or totally blind. ÒWhat is the matter? I canÕt see!Ó the
normal personage suddenly cried out in the midst of her
conversation, when M. Janet whispered to the secondary
personage to make use of her eyes. The an¾sthesiaÕs,
paralyses, contractions and other irregularities from which
hysterics suffer seem then to be due to the fact that their
secondary personage has enriched itself by robbing the primary
one of a function which the latter ought to have retained. (pp.
206-207)
James then indicated how Jules Janet attempted to resolve the symptoms of a
patient that were under the control of the less accessible executive structure.
6 ÒIn certain persons, at least, the total possible consciousness may be split into parts which
coexist but mutually ignore each otherÓ and ÒcomplementaryÓ are italicized in the original
text.On Whether People
- 24 -The curative indication is evident: get at the secondary
personage, by hypnotization or in whatever other way, and
make her give up the eye, the sk in, the arm, or whatever the
affected part may be. The normal self thereupon regains
possession, sees, feels, or is able to move again. In this way
M. Jules Janet easily cured the well known subject of the
Salptrire, Witt., of all sorts of afflictions which, until he
discovered the secret of her deeper trance, it had been difficult tosubdue. ÒCessez cette mauvaise plaisanterie,Ó he said to the
secondary self -and the latter obeyed. The way in which the
various personages share the stock of pos sible sensations
between them seems to be amusingly illustrated in this young
woman. When awake, her skin is insensible everywhere except
on a zone about the arm where she habitually wears a gold
bracelet. This zone has feeling; but in the deepest trance, when
all the rest of her body feels, this particular zone becomes
absolutely an¾sthetic. (p. 207)
James provided an example of the incongruent sets of coordinated
behaviors that an individual may display, providing support for the existence ofmutually exclusive consciousnesses that simultaneously exist.
Sometimes the mutual ignorance of the selves leads to
incidents which are strange enough. The acts and movements
performed by the sub-conscious self are withdrawn from the
conscious one, and the subject will do all sorts of incongruous
things of which he remains quite unaware. ÒI order Lucie [by
the method of distraction ] to make a pied de nez , and her hands
go forthwith to the end of her nose. Asked what she is doing,
she replies that she is doing nothing, and continues for a long
time talking, with no apparent suspicion that her fingers are
moving in front of her nose. I make her walk about the room;
she continues to speak and believes herself sitting down.Ó
(p. 208)
James provided other examples, examples that show the degree to
which an individual may go to maintain the incongruent sets of behaviors and
his own witnessing such behaviors.On Whether People
- 25 -M. Janet observed similar acts in a man in alcoholic
delirium. Whilst the doctor was questioning him, M. J. made
him by whispered suggestion walk, sit, kneel, and even lie
down on his face on the floor, he all the while believing himself
to be standing beside his bed. Such bizarreries sound incredible,
until one has seen their like. Long ago, without understanding
it, I myself saw a small example of the way in which a personÕs
knowledge may be shared by the two selves. A young woman
who had been writing automatically was sitting with a pencil in
her hand, trying to recall at my request the name of a gentleman
whom she had once seen. She could only recollect the first
syllable. Her hand meanwhile, without her knowledge, wrotedown the last two syllables. In a perfectly healthy young man
who can write with the planchette, I lately found the hand to be
entirely an¾sthetic during the writing act; I could prick it
severely without the Subject knowing the fact. The writing on
the planchette , however, accused me in strong terms of hurting
the hand. Pricks on the other (non-writing) hand, meanwhile,
which, awakened strong protest from the young manÕs vocal
organs, were denied to exist by the self which made the
planchette go. (p. 208)
James discussed hypnosis specifically, and the evidence that individuals
who are given directions when in a hypnotic trance to engage in certain actions
indeed perform these actions when they are no longer in a trance and have no
recollection of the actions having been suggested to them in a trance.
We get exactly similar results in the so-called post-hypnotic
suggestion . It is a familiar fact that certain subjects, when told
during a [hypnotic] trance to perform an act or to experience an
hallucination after waking, will when the time comes, obey the
command. How is the command registered? How is its
performance so accurately timed? These problems were long a
mystery, for the primary personality remembers nothing of the
trance or the suggestion, and will often trump up an improvisedpretext for yielding to the unaccountable impulse which
possesses the man so suddenly and which he cannot resist.
Edmund Gurney was the first to discover, by means of
automatic writing, that the secondary self is awake, keeping itsOn Whether People
- 26 -attention constantly fixed on the command and watching for the
signal of its execution. (pp. 208-209)
James then combined post-hypnotic trance with Òautomatic writers,Ó those
apparently suffering from hysteria.
Certain trance-subjects who were also automatic writers, when
roused from trance and put to the planchette, -not knowing then
what they wro te, and having their upper attention fully
engrossed by reading aloud, talking, or solving problems in
mental arithmetic, -would inscribe the orders which they had
received, together with notes relative to the time elapsed and the
time yet to run before the execution. It is therefore to no
ÔautomatismÕ in the mechanical sense that such acts are due: a
self presides over them, a split-off, limited and buried, but yet afully conscious, self [italics added]. More than this, the buried
self often comes to the surface and drives out the other self
whilst the acts are performing. In other words, the subject
lapses into trance again when the moment arrives for execution,
and has no subsequent recollection of the act which he has done.Gurney and Beaunis established this fact, which has since been
verified on a large scale; and Gurney also showed that the
patient became suggestible again during the brief time of the
performance. M. JanetÕs observations, in their turn well
illustrate the phenomenon. (p. 209)
We see then that James noted that there were two executive agencies,
often unaware of each other and each corresponding to FreudÕs concept of ego,
governing their respective psychological agencies. James used JanetÕs subject
Lucie to support his point that post-hypnotic trance behavior demonstrates thesetwo executive agencies. He quoted Janet:
ÒI tell Lucie to keep her arms raised after she shall have
awakened. Hardly is she in the normal state, when up go her
arms above her head, but she pays no attention to them. She
goes, comes, converses, holding her arms high in the air. If
asked what her arms are do ing, she is surprised at such a
question, and says very sincerely: ÔMy hands are doing nothing;they are just like yours.Õ... I command her to weep, and when
awake she really sobs, but continues in the midst of her tears toOn Whether People
- 27 -talk of very gay matters. The sobbing over, there remained no
trace of this grief, which seemed to have been quite sub-
conscious.Ó (pp. 209-210)
In the following, James expressed his own sense of the unusual character of the
behavior of Lonie and Lucie.
The primary self often has to invent an hallucination by
which to mask and hide from its own view the deeds which the
other self is enacting. Lonie 3 (M. Janet designates by numbersthe different personalities which the subject may display.) writesreal letters, whilst Lonie 1 believes that she is knitting; or Lucie
3 really comes to the doctorÕs office, whilst Lucie 1 believes
herself to be at home. This is a sort of delirium. The alphabet, orthe series of numbers, when handed over to the attention of the
secondary personage may for the time be lost to the normal self.
Whilst the hand writes the alphabet, obediently to command, theÔsubject,Õ to her great stupefaction, finds herself unable to recall
it, etc. Few things are more curious than these relations of
mutual exclusion, of which all gradations exist between the
several partial consciousnesses [italics added].
7 (p. 210)
James then began to discuss opinions regarding whether these mutually
exclusive consciousnesses characterize those of use who are ÒnormalÓ as well
as those who suffer from hysteria. The ÒnormalÓ mind to this day is generally
considered to be unitary in nature integrating disparate experiences within itselfand with a cohesive sense that is called oneÕs identity.
How far this splitting up of the mind into separate
consciousnesses may exist in each one of us is a problem. M.
Janet holds that it is only possible where there is abnormal
weakness, and consequently a defect of unifying or co-
ordinating power. An hysterical woman abandons part of her
consciousness because she is too weak nervously to hold it
together. The abandoned part meanwhile may solidify into a
secondary or sub-conscious self. In a perfectly sound subject,
on the other hand, what is dropped out of mind at one moment
keeps coming back at the next. The whole fund of experiences
7 The text in parentheses appears as a footnote in The Principles of Psychology .On Whether People
- 28 -and knowledges remains integrated, and no split-off portions of
it can get organized stably enough to form subordinate selves.
(p. 210)
Attempting to provide further evidence for the existence of a second
consciousness, or executive agency, James provided evidence for certain
characteristics of the executive agency that dwelled mostly in the background.
The stability, monotony, and stupidity of these latter is often
very striking. The post-hypnotic sub-consciousness seems to
think of nothing but the order which it last received; the
cataleptic sub-consciousness, of nothing but the last position
imprinted on the limb. M. Janet could cause definitely
circumscribed reddening and tumefaction of the skin on two of
his subjects, by suggesting to them in hypnotism the
hallucination of a mustard-poultice of any special shape. ÒJÕaitout le temps pens votre sinapisme,Ó says the subject, when
put back into trance after the suggestion has taken effect. A manN.,...whom M. Janet operated on at long intervals, was
betweenwhiles tampered with by another operator, and when
put to sleep again by M. Janet, said he was Ôtoo far away to
receive orders, being in Algiers.Õ The other operator, having
suggested that hallucination, had forgotten to remove it before
waking the subject from his trance, and the poor passive trance-
personality had stuck for weeks in the stagnant dream. LonieÕssub-conscious performances having been illustrated to a caller,
by a Ô pied de nez Õ executed with her left hand in the course of
conversation, when, a year later, she meets him again, up goes
the same hand to her nose again, without LonieÕs normal self
suspecting the fact. (pp. 210-211)
James, though, appeared to differ from Janet and maintain that these mutually
exclusive consciousnesses may characterize anyone.
All these facts, taken together, form unquestionably the
beginning of an inquiry which is destined to throw a new light
into the very abysses of our nature. It is for that reason that I
have cited at such length in this early chapter of the book. They
prove one thing conclusively, namely, that we must never take a
personÕs testimony, however sincere, that he has felt nothing, asOn Whether People
- 29 -proof positive that no feeling has been there. It may have been
there as part of the consciousness of a Ôsecondary personage,Õ
of whose experiences the primary one whom we are consulting
can naturally give no account.8 (p. 211)
Next James focused on the relationship between these distinct
consciousnesses. In particular, he pointed out that there is a recognition of at
least one consciousness of the other whereby the former consciousness actively
excludes some feature of the world from its own experience.
In hypnotic subjects (as we shall see in a later chapter) just as it
is the easiest thing in the world to paralyze a movement or
member by simple suggestion, so it is easy to produce what is
called a systematized an¾sthesia by word of command. A
systematized an¾sthesia means an insensibility, not to any oneelement of things, but to some one concrete thing or class of
things. The subject is made blind or deaf to a certain person in
the room and to no one else, and thereupon denies that that
person is present, or has spoken, etc. M. P. JanetÕs Lucie,blind to some of the numbered cards in her lap (p. 207 above),
is a case in point. Now when the object is simple, like a red
wafer or a black cross, the subject, although he denies that he
sees it when he looks straight at it, nevertheless gets a Ônegative
after-imageÕ of it when he looks away again, showing that the
optical impression of it has been received. Moreover reflection
shows that such a subject must distinguish the object from
others like it in order to be blind to it . Make him blind to one
person in the room, set all the persons in a row, and tell him to
count them. He will count all but that one. But how can he tell
which one not to count without recognizing who he is? In like
manner, make a stroke on paper or blackboard, and tell him it is
not there, and he will see nothing but the clean paper or board.
Next (he not looking) surround the original stroke with other
strokes exactly like it, and ask him what he sees. He will point
out one by one all the new strokes, and omit the original one
every time, no matter how numerous the new strokes may be, or
8 ÒWe must never take a personÕs testimony, however sincere, that he has felt nothing, as
proof positive that no feeling has been there .Ó is from original text.On Whether People
- 30 -in what order they are arranged. Similarly, if the original single
stroke to which he is blind be doubled by a prism of some
sixteen degrees placed before one of his eyes (both being kept
open), he will say that he now sees one stroke, and point in the
direction in which the image seen through the prism lies,
ignoring still the original stroke. (pp. 211-212)
Having discussed the point implied in FreudÕs writings on splitting of the ego,
namely that one consciousness or ego must distinguish the other/s in order to beÒblindÓ to it, James then discussed this very important point in more detail.
Obviously, then, he is not blind to the kind of stroke in the
least. He is blind only to one individual stroke of that kind in a
particular position on the board or paper -that is to a particular
complex object; and, paradoxical as it may seem to say so, he
must distinguish it with great accuracy from others like it, in
order to remain blind to it when the others are brought near. He
discriminates it, as a preliminary to not seeing it at all.
Again, when by a prism before one eye [and only that eye] a
previously invisible line [presumably through hypnosis] has
been made visible to that eye, and the other eye is thereupon
closed or screened, its closure makes no difference; the line still
remains visible. But if then the prism be removed, the line will
disappear even to the eye which a moment ago saw it, and both
eyes will revert to their original blind state.
We have, then, to deal in these cases neither with a
blindness of the eye itself, nor with a mere failure to notice, but
with something much more complex; namely, an active countingout and positive exclusion of certain objects. It is as when one
ÔcutsÕ an acquaintance, ÔignoresÕ a claim, or Ôrefuses to beinfluencedÕ by a consideration. But the perceptive activity which
works to this result is disconnected [italics added] from the
consciousness which is personal, so to speak, to the subject,
and makes of the object concerning which the suggestion is
made, its own private possession and prey. (pp. 212-213)
Notice that the consciousness that employs this ÒblindnessÓ to some
particular feature of the world is not aware of its own blindness. These
consciousnesses are mutually exclusive since one is concerned with theOn Whether People
- 31 -occurrence of some experience and the other is concerned with its denial. It is
really to say that two executive agencies are functioning in one mind. As if to
reinforce the radical nature of the these he discussed, James wrote in a footnote:
How to conceive of this state of mind is not easy. It would
be much simpler to understand the process, if adding new
strokes made the first one visible. There would then be two
different objects apperceived as totals,-paper with one stroke,
paper with many strokes; and, blind to the former, he would see
all that was in the latter, because he would have apperceived it asa different total in the first instance.
A process of this sort occurs sometimes (not always) when
the new strokes, instead of being mere repetitions of the original
one, are lines which combine with it into a total object, say a
human face. The subject of the trance then may regain his sight
of the line to which he had previously been blind, by seeing it aspart of the face. (p. 213)
James was struggling in the above quote with the mutual exclusivity of
the two different consciousnesses, implying two different executive functions.
He tried to show that if some perceptual totality underlaid the phenomena he
discussed, one could argue that there is but one executive mental agency and
that the apparently mutually exclusive phenomena reflect are perceptual wholes
of which they are part. He discussed the human face in this regard. It should
be remembered that James maintained, difficult as it was for him, that distinct
and different consciousnesess could simultaneously exist for the same person.
James concludes by giving an example from everyday life for a normal
person of the phenomenon discussed.
The mother who is asleep to every sound but the stirrings of
her babe, evidently has the babe-portion of her auditory
sensibility systematically awake. Relatively to that, the rest of
her mind is in a state of systematized an¾sthesia. That
department, split off and disconnected from the sleeping part,
can none the less wake the latter up in case of need. So that on
the whole the quarrel between Descartes and Locke as to
whether the mind ever sleeps is less near to solution than ever.
On a priori speculative grounds LockeÕs view that thought and
feeling may at times wholly disappear seems the more plausible.On Whether People
- 32 -As glands cease to secrete and muscles to contract, so the brain
should sometimes cease to carry currents, and with this
minimum of its activity might well coexist a minimum of
consciousness. On the other hand, we see how deceptive are
appearances, and are forced to admit that a part of consciousnessmay sever its connections with other parts and yet continue to be[italics added]. On the whole it is best to abstain from a
conclusion. The science of the near future will doubtless answerthis question more wisely than we can now. (p. 213)
Whether JamesÕs questions concerning whether the mind sleeps has or
has not been answered conclusive is secondary to the point that evidence comesfrom physics that mutually exclusive consciousnesses exist, supporting the
findings of James and Freud.
T
HE CONTEMPORARY CONSIDERATION OF HYSTERIA
In order to demonstrate that the mental disorder that James referred to as
hysteria is present today, some quotes are presented from the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Dis orders (1994), known as DSM-IV . Today,
hysterical symptoms are considered within two disorders: conversion disorder
and dissociative identity disorder.
Conversion Disorder
Following are quotes from the DSM-IV on conversion disorder.
Conversion Disorder involves unexplained symptoms or deficits
affecting voluntary motor or sensory function that suggest a
neurological or other general medical condition. Psychological
factors are judged to be associated with the symptoms or
deficits....
Conversion symptoms typically do not conform to known
anatomical pathways and physiological mechanisms, but insteadfollow the individualÕs conceptualization of a condition. A
ÒparalysisÓ may involve inability to perform a particularmovement or to move an entire body part, rather than a deficit
corresponding to patterns of motor innervation. Conversionsymptoms are often inconsistent. A ÒparalyzedÓ extremity will
be moved inadvertently while dressing or when attention is
directed elsewhere. If placed above the head and released, aOn Whether People
- 33 -ÒparalyzedÓ arm will briefly retain its position, then fall to the
side, rather than striking the head. Unacknowledged strength inantagonistic muscles, normal muscle tone, and intact reflexes
may be demonstrated. An electromyogram will be normal.
Difficulty swallowing will he equal with liquids and solids.
Conversion ÒanesthesiaÓ of a foot or a hand may follow a so-
called stocking-glove distribution with uniform (no proximal to
distal gradient) loss of all sensory modalities (i.e., touch,
temperature, and pain) sharply demarcated at an anatomical
landmark rather than according to dermatomes. A conversionÒseizureÓ will vary from convulsion to convulsion, and
paroxysmal activity will not be evident on an EEG....
Conversion symptoms are related to voluntary motor or
sensory functioning and are thus referred to as
Òpseudoneurological.Ó Motor symptoms or deficits include
impaired coordination or balance, paralysis or localized
weakness, aphonia, difficulty swallowing or a sensation of a
lump in the throat, and urinary retention. Sensory symptoms ordeficits include loss of touch or pain sensation, double vision,
blindness, deafness, and hallucinations. Symptoms may also
include seizures or convuls ions. The more medically naive the
person, the more implausible are the presenting symptoms.
More sophisticated persons tend to have more subtle symptomsand deficits that may closely simulate neurological or other
general medical conditions....
Reported rates of Conversion Disorder have varied widely,
ranging from 11/100,000 to 300/100,000 in general population
samples. It has been reported as a focus of treatment in 1%-3%
of outpatient referrals to mental health clinics. ( Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , 1994, pp. 445, 452-
455)
Dissociative Identity Disorder
Following are quotes from the DSM-IV on dissociative identity
disorder.
Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality
Disorder) is characterized by the presence of two or moreOn Whether People
- 34 -distinct identities or personality states that recurrently take
control of the individualÕs behavior accompanied by an inability
to recall important personal information that is too extensive to
be explained by ordinary forgetfulness....
Dissociative Identity Disorder reflects a failure to integrate
various aspects of identity, memory, and consciousness. Each
personality state may he experienced as if it has a distinct
personal history, self-image, and identity, including a separate
name. Usually there is a primary identity that carries the
individualÕs given name and is passive, dependent, guilty, and
depressed. The alternate identities frequently have different
names and characteristics that contrast with the primary identity
(e.g., are hostile, controlling, and self-destructive). Particular
identities may emerge in specific circumstances and may differin reported age and gender, vocabulary, general knowledge, or
predominant affect. Alternate identities are experienced as takingcontrol in sequence, one at the expense of the other, and may
deny knowledge of one another, be critical of one another, or
appear to be in open conflict. Occasionally, one or more
powerful identities allocate time to the others. Aggressive or
hostile identities may at times interrupt activities or place theothers in uncomfortable situations.
Individuals with this disorder experience frequent gaps in
memory for personal history, both remote and recent. The
amnesia is frequently asymmetrical. The more passive identities
tend to have more constricted memories, whereas the more
hostile, controlling, or ÔprotectorÓ identities have more complete
memories. An identity that is not in control may nonetheless
gain access to consciousness by producing auditory or visual
hallucinations (e.g., a voice giving instructions). Evidence of
amnesia may be uncovered by reports from others who have
witnessed behavior that is disavowed by the individual or by theindividualÕs own discoveries (e.g., finding items of clothing at
home that the individual cannot remember having bought).
There may be loss of memory not only for recurrent periods of
time, but also an overall loss of biographical memory for some
extended period of childhood. Transitions among identities areOn Whether People
- 35 -often triggered by psychosocial st ress. The time required to
switch from one identity to another is usually a matter of
seconds, but, less frequently, may be gradual. The number of
identities reported ranges from 2 to more than 100. Half of
reported cases include individuals with 10 or fewer identities....
The sharp rise in reported cases of Dissociative Identity
Disorder in the United States in recent years has been subject to
very different interpretations. Some believe that the greater
awareness of the diagnosis among mental health professionals
has resulted in the identification of cases that were previously
undiagnosed. In contrast, others believe that the syndrome has
been overdiagnosed in individuals who are highly suggestible.

The problem discussed by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen on the
possibility of there existing simultaneously mutually exclusive situations in thephysical world has been noted. Now the root of this problem in terms of the
nature of the wave function in quantum mechanics will be discussed.
H
OW THE NATURE OF THE WAVE FUNCTION IN
QUANTUM MECHANICS UNDERLIES THE PROBLEM
POSED BY EINSTEIN , PODOLSKY , AND ROSEN
How the nature of the wave function is central to the problem posed by
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in 1935 will be discussed through a
presentation of EinsteinÕs view of the wave function in quantum mechanics.
Einstein ( 1949/1969) addressed the relevant broad principles of quantum
mechanics as well as the argument he developed with Podolsky and Rosen in
his ÒAutobiographical Notes.Ó BohrÕs response to this problem is discussed asit is central to understanding the underlying issues.
Einstein first noted that Newtonian mechanics is readily understood in
terms of the realistic basis of physics.
Physics is an attempt conceptually to grasp reality as it is
thought independently of its being observed. In this sense one
speaks of Òphysical reality.Ó In pre-quantum physics there was
no doubt as to how this was to be understood. In Newton's
theory reality was determined by a material point in space andOn Whether People
- 36 -time [functioning in a deterministic manner independent of
cognition]; in Maxwell's theory, by the field in space and time.
(pp. 81, 83)
Einstein (1949/1969) continued:
In quantum mechanics it is not so easily seen [i.e., the realistic
basis of physics]. If one asks: Does a Y-function of the
quantum theory represent a real factual situation in the same
sense in which this is the case of a material system of points or
of an electromagnetic field, one hesitates to reply with a simple
ÒyesÓ or ÒnoÓ; why? What the Y-function (at a definite time)
asserts, is this: What is the probability for finding a definite
physical magnitude q (or p) [of a physical system] in a definitely
given interval, if I measure it at time t? The probability is here to
be viewed as an empirically determinable, and therefore certainlyas a ÒrealÓ quantity which I may determine if I create the same
Y-function very often and perform a q-measurement each time.
But what about the single measured value of q? Did the
respective individual system have this q-value even before the
measurement? To this question there is no definite answer
within the framework of the [existing] theory, since the
measurement is a process which implies a finite disturbance of
the system from the outside [generally resulting in the change inwave function that occurs immediately thro ughout space]; it
would therefore be thinkable that the system obtains a definite
numerical value for q (or p), i.e., the measured numerical value,
only through the measurement itself. (p. 83)
9
Then Einstein presented the essence of a gedankenexperiment that he
had proposed earlier with Podolsky and Rosen (Einstein, Podolsky, and
Rosen, 1935).
We now present...the following instance: There is to be a
system which at the time t of our observation consists of two
partial systems S1 and S2, which at this time are spatially
separated [without limit on the separation] and (in the sense of
9 The term existing , along with the brackets that enclose it, that are found in the quote are
actually part of the quoted material and not added by myself.On Whether People
- 37 -the classical physics) are without significant reciprocity. The
total system is to be completely described through a known Y-
function Y12 in the sense of quantum mechanics. All quantum
theoreticians now agree upon the following: If I make a
complete measurement of S1, I get from the results of the
measurement and from Y12 an entirely definite Y-function Y2
of the system S2 [immediately]. The character of Y2 then
depends upon what kind of measurement I undertake on S1.
Now it appears to me that one may speak of the real factual
situation of the partial system S2. Of this real factual situation,
we know to begin with, before the measurement of S1, even less
than we know of a system described by the Y-function. But on
one supposition we should, in my opinion, absolutely hold fast:
the real factual situation of the system S2 is independent of what
is done with the system S1, which is spatially separated from the
former. According to the type of measurement which I make of
S1, I get, however, a very different Y2 for the second partial
system ( Y2, Y21,...). Now, however, the real situation of S2
must be independent of what happens to S1. For the same real
situation of S2 it is possible therefore to find, according to oneÕs
choice, different types of Y-function. (One can escape from
this conclusion only by either assuming that the measurement of
S1 ((telepathically)) changes the real situation of S2 or by
denying independent real situations as such to things which are
spatially separated from each other. Both alternatives appear to
me entirely unacceptable.)
If now...physicists...accept this consideration as valid, then
B [a particular physicist] will have to give up his position that
the Y-function constitutes a complete description of a real
factual situation. For in this case [i.e., the case of a complete
description] it would be impossible that two different types of
Y-functions [representing mutually exclusive situations] could
be co-ordinated [simultaneously] with the identical factual
situation of S2 [the same concrete physical circumstances].
(Einstein, 1949/1969, pp. 85; 87)On Whether People
- 38 -BohrÕs (1935) response to Einstein, Podolsky, and RosenÕs
gedankenexperiment was that there is an unavoidable interaction between the
physical existent measured and the measuring instrument in their
gedankenexperiment that cannot be ignored. Essentially, BohrÕs response was
that the situation Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen were referring to is quantum
mechanical in its structure. That is, the structure of the gedankenexperiment
presented by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen was based on: (1) probabilistic
prediction rooted in the quantum mechanical wave function that describes the
physical system, and (2) the in general immediate change throughout space of
the wave function upon measurement of the physical system.
Furthermore, Bohr was saying that because the situation described by
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen is framed within the theory of quantum
mechanics, their result that two very different wave functions (really two
mutually exclusive views of the world) can characterize the same concrete
physical circumstances in quantum mechanics is incorrect. According to Bohr,
the particular interaction of the measuring apparatus and S1 is associated with a
specific state of S2 upon the measurement of S1. But Einstein, Podolsky, and
RosenÕs result is basically correct. Two very different wave functions can
indeed characterize the same concrete physical circumstances, even if the state
of S2 depends on the measurement result at S1. The velocity limitation of the
special theory of relativity, the velocity of light in vacuum, is not a limiting
factor in the change of the wave function throughout space when a
measurement is made.
Where Bohr was correct was in noting that the conception of physical
reality that they indeed adopted in their gedankenexperiment was that Òphysics
is an attempt conceptually to grasp reality as it is thought independently of its
being observedÓ (Einstein, 1949/1969, p. 81), and this conception of physical
reality is not part of quantum mechanics. Yet it is quantum mechanics that
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen used to structure their gedankenexperiment.
According to Bohr, in not allowing for the interaction between the physical
existent measured and the measuring process, of which the observer is the chief
component, in defining an element of physical reality, they were able to frame
their argument so as to obtain the result that quantum mechanics is not a
complete theory of the physical world. Thus, Bohr was correct in his criticism
up to a point, and Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen were correct without the
artificial constraint of their realistic definition of the physical world and its
essential independence of the physical theory describing it.On Whether People
- 39 -JAMES ÕS INFLUENCE ON BOHR
In the mid-1920Õs, Bohr came to believe that in quantum mechanics,
certain quantities (such as the position and momentum) of certain physical
existents (such as an electron) cannot both be known with arbitrary precision.
He argued that in principle descriptions of these quantities are mutually
exclusive. In that the mutually exclusive descriptions of these quantities could
both describe the existent and as these descriptions together could
simultaneously apply to the existent in pre-quantum physics, Bohr called these
descriptions complementary. Bohr anchored complementarity to the physical
world because, for Bohr, the mutually exclusive descriptions were determined
by the concrete experimental arrangements that the physicist had selected (e.g.,
one experimental arrangement to measure position and another experimental
arrangement to measure momentum of an electron) (Bohr, 1935).
Bohr was significantly influenced by William James in his development
of the concept of complementarity, a central concept in the theory of quantum
mechanics. Jammer (1966/1989) argued that JamesÕs work had a significant
impact on BohrÕs work in physics, specifically in his development of
complementarity. Jammer noted, ÒBohr repeatedly admitted how impressed he
was particularly by the psychological writings of this American philos opherÓ
(p. 182). It appears that Bohr was well-acquainted with certain ideas discussed
in JamesÕs The Principles of Psychology . Jammer argued that it was probably
JamesÕs use of the term complementarity in the context of his discussion of
work on hysteria that we have reviewed that had the major impact on Bohr.
In contrast to BohrÕs above stated view of complementarity, Bohr
(1934/1961) seems to have suggested that complementarity itself might
fundamentally involve the fundamental structuring of perception, namely the
essential separation between that which is perceived and the perceiving person.
In this separation only a part of the world is accessible to the perceiving person
because this person of necessity maintains a particular stance in the world.
For describing our mental activity [which includes perceptions
of the physical world], we require, on one hand, an objectively
given content to be placed in opposition to a perceiving subject,
while, on the other hand, as is already implied in such an
assertion, no sharp sensation between object and subject can be
maintained, since the perceiving subject also belongs to our
mental content. From these circumstances follows...that aOn Whether People
- 40 -complete elucidation of one and the same object may require
diverse points of view which defy a unique description. (Bohr,
1934/1961, p. 96)
Consider the following quote. Here Bohr appeared to attribute the
extent of the realm of the measurable space upon which physics depends, and
rooted in basic psychological experience, to whether a physical entity is
considered part of the physical world that can be measured by an observer or
instead is an extension of the human observer who is attempting to measure the
physical world.
It is very instructive that already in simple psychological
experiences we come upon fundamental features not only of therelativistic but also of the reciprocal [complementary] view. Therelativity of our perception of motion, with which we become
conversant as children when travelling by ship or by train,
corresponds to common-place experiences on the reciprocal
character of the perception of touch. One need only remember
here the sensation, often cited by psychologists, which every
one has experienced when attempting to orient himself in a darkroom by feeling with a stick. When the stick is held loosely, it
appears to the sense of touch to be an object. When, however,
it is held firmly, we lose the sensation that it is a foreign body,
and the imp ression of touch becomes immediately localized at
the point where the stick is touching the body under
investigation. It would scarcely be an exaggeration to maintain,purely from psychological experiences, that the concepts of
space and time by their very nature acquire a meaning only
because of the possibility of neglecting the interaction with the
means of measurement. (Bohr, 1934/1961, pp. 98-99)
It appears that the inescapable interaction between the measuring apparatus and
the physical entity measured that was at the heart of BohrÕs concept of
complementarity might indeed be subsumed in the more fundamental structure
of perception.
In addition, with a bit more attention to JamesÕs description of hysteria,
Bohr may well have recognized that Einstein, Podolsky, and RosenÕs
experiment really afforded the possibility of mutually exclusive situations
characterizing the same concrete physical circumstances. As discussed, JamesOn Whether People
- 41 -(1899) acknowledged that the hysteric manifests Òpossible
consciousnesses...[that n onetheless may] coexist....[even though you may]
give an object to one of the consciousnesses, and by that fact you remove it
from the other or othersÓ (p. 204).
CONCLUSION
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen showed that in quantum mechanics two
different wave functions can characterize a physical existent. This raises the
question whether observations of mutually exclusive physical phenomena are
possible? Evidence from psychology has been presented that indicates that
people may indeed have the capacity to make such observations. There is
additional evidence supporting this conclusion from research on adaptation to
inversion of incoming light.
The evidence from psychology presented here in large part stemmed
originally from the study of mental illness. Both Freud and James saw the
relevance of their insights to normal mental functioning as well. One might
question the usefulness of insights originally gained from a study of mental
phenomena characterizing a small percentage of people. But this circumstance
is not different than situations concerning physical phenomena where broadphysical principles are developed initially on the basis of evidence from
physical phenomena that at least at first are not frequently encountered and seemto have little to do with understanding the vast majority of physical phenomena
that we encounter in our daily lives. Thus, stellar aberration, the propagation oflight in moving media, the invariant velocity of light in vacuum, and even what
appeared as the curious properties of electric and magnetic fields in EinsteinÕs
day were significant factors in the development and verification of the special
theory of relativity (Resnick, 1968). The odd findings that subatomic particles
had wave-like properties, and that light had particle-like properties led to
quantum theory, a theory much more powerful than classical physics, includingNewtonian mechanics, in understanding physical phenomena.

Z¨ ulpicher Str.77, D-50937 K¨ oln, Germany
The time behaviour of partial reflection by opaque photonic b arriers was measured
with microwaves. It was observed that unlike the duration of partial reflection by
dielectric sheets, the measured reflection duration of barr iers is independent of
their length. The experimental results point to a nonlocal b ehaviour of evanescent
modes at least over a distance of some ten wavelengths.
I. INTRODUCTION
We are used to measuring a reflection time determined by sheet thickness from partial reflection
of light by a sheet of glass. The reflection is observed only af ter a time span corresponding to
twice the layer thickness multiplied by the group velocity o f light in glass. Three hundred years
ago Newton conjectured that light was composed of corpuscle s and argued in the case of partial
reflection by two or more surfaces: Light striking the first su rface sets off a kind of wave or field
that travels along with the light and predisposes it to reflec t or not reflect off the second surface.
He called this process ’fits of easy reflection or easy transmi ssion’ [1]. As theory and experiments
have shown this is not true in the case of dielectric media wit h a real part of the refractive index.
Amazingly in the case of reflection by the surface of an opaque photonic barrier, where the refractive
index is purely imaginary, Newton’s conjecture seems to be c lose to reality: The partial reflection
by barriers suffers a short and constant time delay independe nt of length. For the photonic barriers
investigated here we found that the reflection duration equa ls the transmission time observed in
photonic tunnelling experiments [2] (see Fig. 1).
We are going to explain the experimental set-up and the exper iments and discuss the unexpected
observation.2

total internal reflection. The latter represents the analog y of one-dimensional quantum mechanical
tunnelling [3].
II. EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP
The experimental set-up is displayed in Fig. 2. Pulse-like m icrowave signals with a half width of
8.5 ns are transmitted from a parabolic antenna. The carrier frequency of the pulse is 9.15 GHz
(λ= 32.8 mm) the frequency-band width is 80 MHz. The reflected signal is received with a second
antenna and detected by an HP 54825 oscilloscope . The measur ement is performed asymptotically,
so that any coupling between generator, detector, and devic es under test (a perspex sheet and
photonic barriers) is avoided by the long optical distances (≈3m) and by uniline devices in the
microwave circuit. The time resolution of the set-up is ±10 ps.
To check the experimental arrangement we measured the time r esponse of partial reflection by the
two surfaces of a perspex sheet of 0.8 m thickness. The second peak of the signal corresponding
to the partial reflection by the back surface arrived ≈8.5 ns later than the first one related to
the front surface reflection. For a clear demonstration of th e partial reflection by the two surfaces,
the intensity reflected by the back surface was adjusted to th at by the front side as shown in
Fig. 3. This was obtained by a partial metallic coating of the perspex layer’s back surface. The
measured time delay of the two peaks is in agreement with the c alculated propagation time 8.53 ns
considering the refractive index n=1.6 of perspex.3

perspex sheets separated by the same air gap.
III. PARTIAL REFLECTION BY PHOTONIC BARRIERS
The investigated photonic barrier device is sketched in Fig . 1(a). It consists of two photonic
lattices each 45.5 mm long which are separated by an air gap of 189 mm resulting in a total length
of 280 mm. Each lattice consists of four perspex slabs each 5 m m thick in an equidistant distance
of 8.5 mm air.
For such a structure in the ’normal dielectric case’ we would expect a broadened pulse composed of
the partial reflections of all the slabs similar to the signal shown in Fig. 3. The last surface reflected
signal should be seen ≈1.9 ns after the reflected one by the front surface. However, t he partial
reflection by photonic barriers revealed a strange behaviou r. If the barrier is shortened to 4 or 2
sheets (see Figs. 2 and 4) the reflection duration keeps const ant whereas the amplitude decreases
as a result of the increasing transmission. The measured refl ection duration is ≈100 ps. A back
surface reflected signal from opaque barriers, however, has never been detected (see Fig. 4).
Transmission and phase-time velocity dispersion relation s of the long barrier are displayed in Fig. 5.
There are five pronounced forbidden bands separated by reson ance transmission peaks in the
frequency range displayed. The phase-time velocity vϕis defined by [5]:4

back surfaces. The delay of the second peak is 8.5 ns in agreem ent with the propagation time in
perspex. In order to enhance reflection the back surface was p artially coated with a metal film.

The same strange behaviour as in the case of reflection by phot onic lattices has been observed
in the case of frustrated total internal reflection by a doubl e prism (Fig. 1(b)). The measured
reflection time was 117 ±10 ps and is equal to the transmission time [2].
IV. CONCLUSIONS
In measuring the reflection duration by photonic barriers we observed that the partial reflection by
the back surface is an instantaneous effect on the amplitude, whereas the reflection duration is not
changed. This strange behaviour is opposite to the measured partial reflection by a perspex layer
(see Fig. 3). The behaviour may be explained by a nonlocality of evanescent modes. As a result6
of our experiments evanescent modes constituted by ensembl es of photons behave like a quantum
mechanical particle. Nonlocality and causality were inves tigated in Ref. [6] and quite recently with
respect to superluminal photonic tunnelling nonlocality w as discussed by Perel’man (Ref. [7]).
In our experiments the applied signal pulse had a carrier fre quency of 9.15 GHz in the center
of a forbidden band gap (see Fig. 5) and a narrow 1 % frequency- band width. Consequently all
frequency components of the signal were evanescent. In this case there is no finite phase-time
expected nor observed for a signal inside a barrier [8, 9]. Su ch a behaviour seem to explain the
experimental data of reflection by opaque barriers.
Obviously the information on photonic barrier length is ava ilable at the front surface already. This
is a property which Newton suggested erroneously to explain partial reflection of corpuscles by
dielectric layers [1]. Evanescent modes appear to be nonloc al at least within a range of some ten
wavelengths as experiments have shown in this study [7]. The distance of observing nonlocality
effects is limited by the exponential decay of the field intens ity of evanescent modes, i.e. of the
probability in the wave mechanical tunnelling analogy.

1 INTRODUCTION
KEK-ATF is a test facility to develop the low emittance
multi-bunchbeamandbeaminstrumentationtechniquefor
the future linear collider. That consists from 1.5 GeV S-
band linac, a beam transport line, a damping ring, and a
diagnosticextractionline.
In the linac, the electron beam is generated by a
thermionic electron gun. Typical intensity is 1.0×1010
electron/bunch. The bunch length is compressed from 1
ns to 10 psby passing a coupleof sub-harmonicbunchers,
a TW buncher, and the first S-band accelerating structure.
This area is called as injector part. After the injector part ,

To correct this dip, an additional signal source was in-
troduced. The correction signal is produced by a function
generator, Tektronix AWG 510 which can make an arbi-
trary waveform with 1 GHz clock speed. The signal is
transfered to the gun high voltage station through an op-
tical cable , amplified 20 W RF amplifier, and combined
with the main signal through a resistive power combiner.

Electronbeamgeneratedbythethermionicgunhasapprox-
imately 1 ns bunch length which is larger than acceptance
of S-band acceleration. A couple of 357 MHz standing
waveSub-harmonicbunchers,andatravelingwaveS-band
buncher are placed to gather electrons into the S-band ac-
ceptance, 10−20ps.
Inmulti-bunchoperation,thebunchingfieldisdecreased
by beam induced field, i.e. wake field. This is the
beam loading effect. Beam loading effect is larger for
later bunch, so the condition becomes worse for the later
bunches.

Cavity RF amplitude is then gradually increased with the

To compensate the beam loading effect, we have in-
troduced amplitude modulation on pulsed RF for SHBs.
In amplitude modulation, the amplitude of pulsed RF is
changed synchronously with the beam timing. FIG. 4

ulation schematically. Cavity RF amplitude is then gradu-

On the otherhand,RF amplitudeis decreasedby thebeam

celeration mode and the second, SHB2 is in acceleration
mode. The beam loading effectively increases RF ampli-
tude in SHB1 and decreasesin SHB2 . Modulationsign is
thennegativeforSHB1andpositiveforSHB2.
Optimization for the amplitude modulation has been
done by looking beam transmission at the end of injector
part. A wall current monitor is placed at the exit of the
injector part to observe the beam current. FIG. 5 shows

The beam loading effect affects the transmission for the
later bunches, then we should investigate the bunch trans-
mission to examine the beam loading effect. Since the ab-
solute transmission for each bunch is hard to measure ex-
actly, the intensity ratio of the early bunch and later bunch
canbe usedinsteadofthe absolutetransmission.

to the less sharpnessof the clippingrectangularpulse. Be-

but the emittance was not measured yet due to lack of the

Intensity for each bunch is not uniform because of ; 1)
gunemissionun-uniformity;2)beamloadingeffect.
For gun emission problem, we have applied a correc-
tion signal generated by an arbitrary function generator to
Guncathode. Bunchintensityflatnesswassignificantlyim-
proved by this emission correction. However, Gun emis-
sion for first five bunches is still lower than others. That
will beoneofthemainissue infuture.
For beam loading effect, we have introduced amplitude
modulation on SHB RF. The amplitude modulation com-
pensated the beam loading effect and recovered the beam
transmissionfrom67%to91%.

IN SEARCH OF WORLD PICTURE.
Earth and Heaven, Universe, phenomena and its constituted objects - that are invariable subjects of
observation by man - Homo Sapiens and Homo Instrumentalis - in the course of the whole of history.
Modern science, essentially, is only continuation of this nonexpire, all swallowing tendency. The actual
science differs from the past maybe only by possibility to set up of more comlex, often, grand experiments, by
possibility to use of more wide data base and array of accumulated knowledge.
Setting up of more new and new experiments, of course, - is not a self - aim. Beyond all of this invariable
tendency remains to create the ordered, well-proportioned World Picture (or, as say ancients - Imago Mundi),
among them, and picture of early inaccessible to experiments phenomena of subatomic world. That is aim,
undoubtly, worthy of man, great and, possible, completely impracticable.
COMPONENTS OF MODERN PHYSICAL WORLD PICTURE.
FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS.
Set of observed objects and pheno mena of Universe strikes an imaginations. The modern science, will be
say, the Standard Model suggests, that beyond all this brightly and infinite phenomenology the resrict set only
four fundamental interactions (FI) - strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravitational (interactions) stands.

Fundamental Questions.
In connection with the physical World Picture, which is described to us by the modern science - physics
and cosmology, some natural questions of unbiased reseachers may be arised:
# Why, according to modern physics representation, only four (not less, not more) fundamental
interactions (FI) exist?
# Why charges of known FI have namely these, not another values?
# By what its are motivated?
# If exists any causal (and analytical) connection between FI of different ranges?
# Why so extremal difference between absolute values of electromagnetic and gravitational FI exists?
Questions may be multipliced...

In the analitical, mathematical plane this hierarchy may be represented by Homological series (GS) of
characteristic parameters EOM of each Level of matter.
Layers of Matter.
It is evident fact too, that not all Levels of matter equally brightly represent in observations. In that sense
most brightly in real Universe its are manifested only some clasters of close situated matter Levels, it will be
say, Layers of matter. Most characteristic from its are
# Atomic (subatomic) Layer of matter. It contain some Levels of matter, connected with populations of
atoms, particles, etc.
# Stellar (Star) Layer of matter. It contain some matter Levels, connected with populations of stars,
planets, etc.
# Galactical Layer of matter. Objects of matter - different galaxies, etc.
Fundamental Parameter of Hierarchy.
At 70-th in investigation of wave structure of Solar system [Chechelnitsky, 1980] it have been d iscovered
significent arguments for existance of Shell structure, hierarchy and similarity - dynamical isomorphysm - of
Solar system Shells.
First of all, that concerned to dynamical isomorphysm of clearly observed G[1] and G[2] Shells, connecting
respectively with I (Earth's) and II (Jovian) groups of planets.
It was determined that arrangement of physically distinguished - elite (particularly powerful, strong -
dominant) orbits of Mercury in G[1] (and Jupiter in G[2]), Venus in G[1] (and Saturn in G[2]) Shells brightly
underline the similarity of geometry and dynamics of processes, flowing in these Shells, with accuracy up to
the some scale factor.
As the quantitative characteristics of that isomorphysm, the recalculation coefficient χ - Fundamental
parameter of hierarchy (FPH) - may be used the ratio, for instance, of
# (Keplerian) orbital velocities v
vME/vJ=47.8721 km⋅s-1/13.0581 km⋅s-1=3.66608 ⇒ χ ,
vV /vSA=35.0206 km⋅s-1/9.6519 km⋅s-1=3.62836 ⇒ χ ,
# Sectorial velocities L
LJ /LME=1.01632⋅1010 km2⋅s-1/0.27722⋅1010 km2⋅s-1=3.66608 ⇒ χ,
LSA /LV=1.37498 ⋅1010 km2⋅s-1/0.37895 km2⋅s-1=3.628357⇒ χ,
# Semi-major axes a
aJ /aME=5.202655 AU /0.387097 AU = 13.440164 = (3.666082)2⇒ χ2,
aSA/aV =9.522688 AU /0.723335 AU = 13.164975 = (3.628357)2⇒ χ2,
# Orbital periods T (d - days)
TJ /TME=4334.47015 d/87.96892 d = 49.272744=(3.666082)3 ⇒ χ3,
TSA /TV=10733.41227d / 224.70246 d = 47.76722=(3.6283568)3 ⇒ χ3.
In the published at 1980 monograph [Chechelnitsky,1980] (date of manuscript acception - 11 May 1978)
this dynamical isomorphysm, similarity of geometry and dynamics of physically distinguished orbits of I
(Earth's) and II (Jovian) groups were analized.
According to the content of "Heuristic Analysis" division [Chechelnitsky, 1980, pp.258-263, Fig.17,18]
similarity coefficient - recalculation scale coefficient of megaquants
DI =LME/3=0.924⋅109 km2⋅s-1
DII =L
J /3=3.388⋅109 km2⋅s-1
of L - sectorial velocities (actions, circulations) of I and II groups of planets is equal
DII / DI = L J /LME = 3.66(6) ⇒ χ.
It was not surprise, that transition to another Shells of Solar (planetary) system (to Trans-Pluto and Intra-
Mercurian Shells) would be characterized with the same χ - Fundamental parameter of hierarchy (FPH)
χ=3.66(6).
Chechelnitsky A. M. Hierarchy of Fundamental Interactions in Wave Universe 3
Universality of FPH.
Analysis of (mega) wave structure of physically autonomous satellite systems of Jupiter, Saturn, etc.,
indicated, that discovered χ Fundamental parameter of hierarchy (FPH) plays in its the similar essential role,
as in the Solar (planetary) system, characterizing the hierarchy, recursion and isomorphysm of Shells.
Thus, it takes shape the essentially universal character of (FPH) - its validity for the analysis of (mega)
wave structure of any WDS.
That corresponds to representations, connected with co-dimension principle [Chechelnitsky, 1980, p.245]:
"...fundanental fact is that when we pass on to another WDS, the value of d− − [character value of sectorial
velocity (action, circulation)] doesn't remain constant, but varies according scales of these systems. This fact
is the consequence of co-dimension principle..."
"Magic Number" ("Chechelnitsky Number", FPH) χ = 3.66(6).
Role and Status of Fundamental Parameter of Hierarchy in Universe.
Previous after primary publications [Chechelnitsky, 1980-1985] time and new investigations to the full
extent convince the theory expectations, in particular, connected with the G[s] Shells hierarchy in each of such
WDS, with the hierarchy of Levels of matter (and WDS) in Universe, with the exceptional role of the
introduced in the theory c FPH [Chechelnitsky, (1978) 1980-1986].
The very brief resume of some aspects of these investigations may be formulated in frame of following
short suggestion.
Proposition (Role and Status of c FPH in Universe) [Chechelnitsky, (1978) 1980-1986]
# The central parameter, which organizes and orders the dynamical and physycal structure, geometry,
hierarchy of Universe
∗ "Wave Universe Staircase" of matter Levels,
∗ Internal structure each of real systems - wave dynamic systems (WDS) at any Levels of matter, is
(manifested oneself) χ - the Fundamental Parameter Hierarchy (FPH) - nondimensional number χ = 3.66(6).
# It may be expected, that investigations, can show in the full scale, that χ - FPH, generally speeking,
presents and appea res everywhere - in any case, - in an extremely wide circle of dynamical relations, which
reflect the geometry, dynamical structure, hierarchy of real systems of Universe.
We aren't be able now and at once to appear all well-known to us relations and multiple links, in which one
self the [Chechelnitsky] χ = 3.66(6) "Magic Number" manifests.
We hope that all this stands (becomes) possible in due time and with new opening opportunities for the
publications and communications.
HIERARCHY OF MATTER LEVELS AND FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS.
In the frame of Wave Universe Concept (WU Concept) it may be suggested that hierarchy of α(k)
fundamental interactions (FI) corresponds to hierarchy of U(k), k=...-2,-1,0,1,2,... matter Levels. In particular,
claster of neighbouring, fundamental interactions corresponds to Atomic (Subatomic) Layer of matter - its
some matter Levels. Among its the well-known in modern physics strong, weak, electromagnetic interactions
are most brightly manifested.
Hierarchy of Fundamental Interactions.
Proposition (α α Hierarchy - α α Homology).
Set of observed interactions, phenomena, objects dynamical structures of Universe
# Connects with infinite hierarchy U(k), k=...-2.-1,0,1,2,... matter Levels,
# Connects and is defined by the infinite hierarchy of Fundamental Interactions (FI)
α(k), k=...-2.-1,0,1,2,...,
it will be say, by α Hierarchy of FI
# α Hierarchy, genarally say, is infinite,
# This α Hierarchy is represented by Homological series of FI (by the α Homology) in form
α(k) = χkα(0), k=...-2.-1,0,1,2,...
As prime image (eponim) it is reason to choose the Fine Structure Constant (FSC) - nondimensional
constant of electromagnetic interaction
α(0) = αem= α =e2/ /GAB /G46
where e - electron charge, /GAB /G03- Planck constant, c - light speed.

THEORY AND EXPERIMENT.
Stationary Values of FI Constants.
In the world physical literature variety of experimental estimations of α(k) FI values is circulated. We take
(spare) the special attention to those of its, which describe some asimptotical, limitational (apparently,
convergent, fixed, stable) its states.
For the definitness it would be later named these experimental estimations - as stationary (values).
STRONG INTERACTION.
Constant of Strong FI.
The developed now experimental situation most brightly and evidently represents the well-known Figure of
[RPP, 1997, Fig.9.2 in Division ″Lattice QCD″]. It is not difficult to point, that observed in many experiments
asimptotical, limitational, apperently, stationary value of αs FI constant lie at region
αs ≈ 0.098 ÷ 0.1
Let cite some αs values - result of concrete experiments, - quite corresponding to predictions of theory (WU
Concept). References take from RPP
# RPP, p.79: "...The result can be combined to give
αs(Mz)=0.112 ± 0.002 ± 0.04...
# RPP, p.80: "...A fit to ϒ, ϒ′ and ϒ " gives
αs(Mz)=0.108 ± 0.001 (expt.)
# RPP, p. 81: "... the Standard Model is used
αs(Mz)=0.104
# RPP, p. 90: αs(Mz)=0.101 ± 0.008
# RPP, p.90: "...Nonsuper symmetric unified theories predict the low value
αs(Mz)=0.073 ± 0.001±0.001
# RPP, p. 91: αs=0.101(8)
# RPP, p.105 : αs=0.103 ± 0.008
It is possible another, not less effective way to the determination of the αs FI constant.
Electron - Positron Annigilation to Adrons and Lepton - Lepton Decay.
Dynamical Isomorphysm.
Examination of process of e+e− annigilation in hadrons
e+e− → hadrons
is possible with idea of it "close analogy" [see, for instance, Perkins, 1991, p.271] with process of lepton-
lepton decay
e+e− → µ+µ−
The characteristical, definitable parameter - relation of total cross sections
R=σ(e+e− → hadrons)/σ(e+e− → µ+µ−),
as result of many experiments on high energy e+e− collaiders , is practically stationary at E>10 Gev. This
"...confirms the point character of e+e− adrons process, happened ana logous to e+e− →µ+µ− process..."
[Perkins, 1991, p.255].
The experimental value of R is equal
R=σ(e+e− → hadrons)/σ(e+e− → µ+µ−)=11/3.
Therefore, it may be assumed the some dynamical isomorphism (similarity, "close analogy") of these two
processes with accuracy to similarity parameter (recalculation parameter) R=11/3.
Strong Interaction and (FPH) Constant
It is not difficult to comprehend, that experimentally obtaining value of R=11/3=3.66(6) similarity
parameter, in reality, completly coincides with value of χ=3.66(6) - Fundamental parameter of hierarchy
R = 11/3 = 3/66(6) ⇒ χ = 3.66(6).
Therefore, it may be justified the relation
R=σ(e+e− → adrons)/σ(e+e− → µ+µ−) = χ = αs/αw = es2/ew2.
Experiment spontaneous, directly and confidently fixed and confirm following from the theory (WU
Concept) value of αs strong and αw weak FI relation.
Chechelnitsky A. M. Hierarchy of Fundamental Interactions in Wave Universe 5
WEAK INTERACTION.
Constant of Weak FI.
It is observed comparatively wide field of αw weak FI estimations. Apparently, this connect with situation
when point some "intermediate", not asimptotical evaluations, in more degree depend ing from dynamical
circumstan cies of experiment (transfer momentum, etc).
Influence of Model Representations.
It may be suppose that incertainity in αw estimations is connected also with nonjustified propositions,
limitations and links of developed theoretical models of weak FI (for instance, Weinberg-Salam model), in
frame of which the experimental data are calculated and comprehended. This interesting aspect deserves the
special deep discussion.
Weak Angle of Mixing. Comparision with Experiment.
Let take as definition the following representation for the θw - Weak angle of mixing (Weinberg angle)
e/ew = sinθw
It is wide used in Standard Model (Weinberg - Salam model), and θw - for the comparision of theory and
experimental data. In frame of discussed WU Concept representations it is not difficult to receive numerical,
theoretical representation for this angle. From the comparision
ew2/e2 = sin-2θw ⇒ χ = 3.66(6)
it is followed
sin2θw = 1/χ = 0.272(272),
sinθw = 0.522(232), θw = 31°.48.
As the case of preliminary reason for reflection let take only one reference [Perkins, 1991]. In division
"Assimetries of polarized electrons decay on deuterons", it is constated [p.320]: "...The final result has the
form
sin2θw = 0.22± 0.02
and is coordinated with previous estimations. However, if save the ρ relation of neutral and charged currents
as a free parameter, then result will be another:
ρ = 1.74± 0.033,
sin2θw = 0.293 ± 0.033 ± 0.100,
because ρ and sin2θw values are strong correlated...".
From one side, it is not difficult to point the comporativeness of experimental data
sin2θw = 0.22÷0.293
and WU Concept result
sin2θw = 0.272.
From another side, these data of experiments reflect still surviving inconsistency, sqeezed in the
interpetation of experimental data. It seems, that results of experiments highly nonwillingly invide in
imperatives of Standard Models - in restricting relations of developed theory. Problem is so interesting and
entertaining that we intend to return to it with detailed critical analysis of developed sutiation.
Weak Interaction and χ χ FPH.
The Fundamental parameter hierarchy (χ FPH) plays decisive role in hierarchy of weak and
electromagnetic FI. To be convinced in it, let cite data of experiment, which point another way for
experimental definition of αw constant of weak FI.
Dynamical Isomorphysm of Electron and Neutrino Decay (at Nucleons).
Experiments with leptons (electrons and neutrino) decay on nucleons are characterized by standard
functions of nucleons
F1eN, F2eN - for electromagnetic,
F1νN, F2νN, F3νN - for weak interactions.
Accumulated information leads, in particular, to relation
F2νN ≤ (18/5)F2eN
Commentary [Perkins,1991, Fig.8.11] sounds as follow: "...This is the first comparision of F2νN function,
mesured by neutrino - nucleon decay in CERN neutrino bearn..., with the SLAC data of F2eN function in
electron - nucleon decay with the same q2... Both data sets coincide each to other, if points of electron decay
are multipliced by 18/5..."
Thus, it is observed the dynamical isomorphysm (similarity) of weak and electromagnetic decay processes
with accuracy to similarity parameter
F2νN/F2eN = r ≅18/5
It is not difficult to comprehand, that these orienting data of experiment, in reality, correspond to the χ
FPH
r ≅ 18/5 = 3.6 ⇒ 3.66(6). Chechelnitsky A. M. Hierarchy of Fundamental Interactions in Wave Universe 6
Another words, experimental data directly and confidently fixed the weak and electromagnetic constant FI
relation
F2νN/F2eN ≅ χ = 3.66(6) = αw/αem = ew2/e2,
characterized by FPH χ=3.66(6).
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERACTION.
Constant of Electromagnetic FI.
Experimental value of αem FI in the HEP (high energy physis) is estimated as lieing in region
αem ∼ ∼ 1/137 ÷ ÷ 1/128
in dependen ce of transfering momentum (with growth of transfering momentum - the αem grows - in
difference of αem and αw).
It is natural to consider that the well-known from QED and macroworld value of electromagnetic FI
constant is fixed, stationary and is equal to
αem =α =e2/ /GAB /G46/G20/G14/G12/G14/G16/G1A/G11/G13/G16/G19/G0F
where α =e2/ /GAB /G46/G03- Fine Structure constant,
/GAB /G03/G20/G03/G4B/G12/G15π - Planck const, e - electron charge, c - light speed.
GRAVITATIONAL INTERACTION.
Constant of Gravitational FI.
Existing estimations of αg gravitational FI constant scarcely may be considered as based on specially
created experiments. So, accepted now (inderect) experimental estimation point the value (for the protons
interaction - Perkins, 1991, p.25)
αg ∼ 4.6⋅10-40.
In frame of WU Concept we point (more definitely) the following value of αg gravitational FI constant (for
the electrons interaction)
α(-75) =αg(-75) = (eg(-75))2/ /GAB /G46/G03/G20/G03χ-75α = χ-75e2/ /GAB /G46/G03/G20/G03/G16/G11/G17/G1B/G1C/G1B ⋅10-45.
It corresponds to one of matter Levels, it will be say, of Gravitational Layer of matter.
This is claster of near lieing Levels of matter. Of course, the ″force″ of gravitational FI, corresponding to
one of matter Levels of Gravitational Layer of matter, is very small in comparision to ″forces″ of strong, weak
and electromagnetic FI.
Gravitational FI - Some Additional Aspects.
The base for that representation for αg gravitational FI constant is the following assumption of WU
Concept
Proposition (Gravitation and Electromagnetism).
# Gravitation and Electromagnetism (as and another FI) in Wave Universe passess by fundamental stable
wave link, characterized, in particular, by properties of commensurability, stable resonance.
# Fundamental constants of gravitation and electromagnetism submit to the relation
e2/2Gme2 = χ75,
where e, me - charge and mass of electron, G - gravitational constant.
In fact, that astonishing relation points to the new theoretical (not experimental) representation of G
gravitational constant over characteristic constants of microworld e, me - charge and mass of electron.
Simultaneously, it opens the possibility to receive the explicit representation for the αg gravitational FI
constant
αg = 2Gme2/ /GAB /G46/G03⇒ eg2/ /GAB /G46/G03
and corresponding gravitational charge
eg = (2G)1/2me
UNKNOWN POTENTIAL POSSIBLE FI.
Comparison approaches, connected with Standard Model and WU Concept, are not assist to well-being in
connection with developed, prevailind representations. Evidently, that value - ″wealth″ (″power″) of FI,
Described by α Homology, extremaly more, then ″wealth″ of FI, proposed by Standard Model. Its are related
as ∞ :4. What must we do with this ″wealth″?
It is so far remain unknown in the modern physical World Picture and, therefore, still non investigated by
all available in a modern science intellectual and experimental potential.
It will be reasonable treat with attention to the indications of theory, a’priori not reject a possibility of search
of new laws in new areas and, at first, begin purposeful experimental investigations, connected with early
unknown fundamental interactions.

The problem of defining and studying complexity of a time seri es has interested people for years. In
the context of dynamical systems, Grassberger has suggeste d that a slow approach of the entropy to
its extensive asymptotic limit is a sign of complexity. We in vestigate this idea further by information
theoretic and statistical mechanics techniques and show th at these arguments can be made precise,
and that they generalize many previous approaches to comple xity, in particular unifying ideas from
the physics literature with ideas from learning and coding t heory; there are even connections of this
statistical approach to algorithmic or Kolmogorov complex ity. Moreover, a set of simple axioms
similar to those used by Shannon in his development of inform ation theory allows us to prove that
the divergent part of the subextensive component of the entr opy is a unique complexity measure. We
classify time series by their complexities and demonstrate that beyond the ‘logarithmic’ complexity
classes widely anticipated in the literature there are qual itatively more complex, ‘power–law’ classes
which deserve more attention.
PACS
The problem of quantifying complexity is very old. In-
terest in the field has been fueled by three sorts of ques-
tions. First, one would like to make precise an impression
that some systems, such as life on earth or a turbulent
fluid flow, evolve toward a state of higher complexity,
and one would like to classify these states; this is the
realm of dynamical systems theory. Second, in choosing
among different models that describe an experiment, one
wants to quantify a preference for simpler explanations
or, equivalently, provide a penalty for complex models
that can be weighed against the more conventional good-
ness of fit criteria; this type of question usually is inves-
tigated in statistics. Finally, there are questions about
how hard it is to compute or to describe the state of a
complex system; this is the area of formal mathematics
and computer science.
Research in each of these three directions has given
birth to numerous definitions of complexity. The usual
objective is to make these definitions focused enough to
be operational in particular contexts but general enough
to connect with our intuitive notions. For many years
the dominant candidate for a universal measure has been
the mathematically rigorous notion of Kolmogorov oral-
gorithmic complexity that measures (roughly) the min-
imum length of a computer program that can recreate
the observed time series [1]. Unfortunately there is no
algorithm that can calculate the Kolmogorov complexity
of all data sets. Therefore, for applications to statistics ,
Rissanen [2] and others have developed a new concept:
stochastic complexity of the data with respect to a par-
ticular class of models, which measures the shortest total
description of the data and the model within the class,
but cannot rule out the possibility that a different model
class could generate a shorter code.
The main difficulty of all these approaches is that theKolmogorov complexity is closely related to the Shannon
entropy, which means that it measures something closer
to our intuitive concept of randomness than to the intu-
itive concept of complexity [3]. A true random string can-
not be compressed and hence requires a long description,
yet the physical process that generates this string may be
very simple. As physicists, our intuitive notions of com-
plexity correspond to statements about the underlying
process, and not directly to the description length or Kol-
mogorov complexity: a dynamics with a predictable con-
stant output (small algorithmic complexity) is as trivial
as one for which the output is completely unpredictable
and random (large algorithmic complexity), while really
complex processes lie somewhere in between.
The two extreme cases, however, have one feature in
common: the entropy of the output strings (or, equiva-
lently, the Kolmogorov complexity of a typical one) ei-
ther is a fixed constant or grows exactly linearly with
the length of the strings. In both cases, corrections to
the asymptotic behavior do not grow with the size of the
data set . This allowed Grassberger [4] to identify the slow
approach of the entropy to its extensive limit as a sign of
complexity. He has proposed several functions to analyze
this slow approach and studied systems that exhibited a
broad range of complexity properties.
To deal with the same problem, Rissanen has empha-
sized strongly that fitting a model to data represents an
encoding of those data, or predicting future data. Shorter
encodings generally mean better prediction or generaliza-
tion. However, much of the code usually describes the
meaningless, nongeneralizable “noise”—statistical fluc-
tuations within the model. Only model description is
relevant to prediction, and this part of the code has been
termed the model complexity [2]. While systems with
model complexity of very different types are known, the
1two extreme examples above are similar: it only takes a
fixed number of bits to code either a call to a random
number generator or to a constant function.
The present work may be viewed as expanding on the
notions of subextensivity and effective prediction. We
construct a coherent theory that brings these ideas to-
gether in an intuitive way, but nonetheless is sufficiently
general to be applied in many different contexts. We will
show that with only a little bit of work Grassberger’s def-
initions may be made as mathematically precise as they
are aesthetically pleasing. Finally, we will argue that the
definitions are unique if one accepts a set of simple ax-
ioms in the spirit of Shannon’s original work, and that
these definitions relate to the usual Kolmogorov complex-
ity in a straightforward way. Much of this paper follows
closely a more detailed analysis in Ref. [5], to which we
refer for calculation details and a thorough discussion of
the relevant literature.
Our path to connecting the various complexity mea-
sures begins by noticing that the subextensive compo-
nents of entropy identified by Grassberger in fact deter-
mine the information available for making predictions.
This also suggests a connection to the importance or
value of information, especially in a biological or eco-
nomic context: information is valuable if it can be used
to guide our actions, but actions take time and hence ob-
served data can be useful only to the extent that those
data inform us about the state of the world at later times.
It would be attractive if what we identify as “complex”
in a time series were also the “useful” or “meaningful”
components.
While prediction may come in various forms, depend-
ing on context, information theory allows us to treat all
of them on the same footing. For this we only need to
recognize that all predictions are probabilistic, and that ,
even before we look at the data, we know that certain fu-
tures are more likely than others. This knowledge can
be summarized by a prior probability distribution for
the futures. Our observations on the past lead us to
a new, more tightly concentrated distribution, the distri-
bution of futures conditional on the past data. Different
kinds of predictions are different slices through or aver-
ages over this conditional distribution, but information
theory quantifies the “concentration” of the distribution
without making any commitment as to which averages
will be most interesting.
Imagine that we observe a stream of data x(t) over
a time interval −T < t < 0; let all of these past data
be denoted by the shorthand xpast. We are interested
in saying something about the future, so we want to
know about the data x(t) that will be observed in the
time interval 0 < t < T′; let these future data be called
xfuture. In the absence of any other knowledge, futures
are drawn from the probability distribution P(xfuture),
while observations of particular past data xpasttell us
that futures will be drawn from the conditional distri-bution P(xfuture|xpast). The greater concentration of the
conditional distribution can be quantified by the fact that
it has smaller entropy than the prior distribution, and
this reduction in entropy is Shannon’s definition of the
information that the past provides about the future. We
can write the average of this predictive information as
Ipred(T, T′) =/angbracketleftBigg
log2/bracketleftbiggP(xfuture|xpast)
P(xfuture)/bracketrightbigg/angbracketrightBigg
(1)
=−∝an}bracketle{tlog2P(xfuture)∝an}bracketri}ht − ∝an}bracketle{tlog2P(xpast)∝an}bracketri}ht
−[−∝an}bracketle{tlog2P(xfuture, xpast)∝an}bracketri}ht],(2)
where ∝an}bracketle{t· · ·∝an}bracketri}htdenotes an average over the joint distribution
of the past and the future, P(xfuture, xpast).
Each of the terms in Eq. (2) is an entropy. Since we
are interested in predictability or generalization, which
are associated with some features of the signal persist-
ing forever, we may assume stationarity or invariance
under time translations. Then the entropy of the past
data depends only on the duration of our observations,
so we can write −∝an}bracketle{tlog2P(xpast)∝an}bracketri}ht=S(T), and by the
same argument −∝an}bracketle{tlog2P(xfuture)∝an}bracketri}ht=S(T′). Finally, the
entropy of the past and the future taken together is the
entropy of observations on a window of duration T+T′,
so that −∝an}bracketle{tlog2P(xfuture, xpast)∝an}bracketri}ht=S(T+T′). Putting
these equations together, we obtain
Ipred(T, T′) =S(T) +S(T′)−S(T+T′). (3)
In the same way that the entropy of a gas at fixed den-
sity is proportional to the volume, the entropy of a time
series (asymptotically) is proportional to its duration, s o
that lim T→∞S(T)/T=S0; entropy is an extensive quan-
tity. But from Eq. (3) any extensive component of the
entropy cancels in the computation of the predictive in-
formation: predictability is a deviation from extensivity .
If we write
S(T) =S0T+S1(T), (4)
then Eq. (3) tells us that the predictive information is
related onlyto the nonextensive term S1(T).
We know two general facts about the behavior of
S1(T). First, the corrections to extensive behavior
are positive, S1(T)≥0. Second, the statement that
entropy is extensive is the statement that the limit
limT→∞S(T)/T=S0exists, and for this to be true we
must also have lim T→∞S1(T)/T= 0.Thus the nonex-
tensive terms in the entropy must be subextensive, that
is they must grow with Tless rapidly than a linear func-
tion. Taken together, these facts guarantee that the pre-
dictive information is positive and subextensive. Further ,
if we let the future extend forward for a very long time,
T′→ ∞, then we can measure the information that our
sample provides about the entire future,
Ipred(T) = lim
T′→∞Ipred(T, T′) =S1(T), (5)
2and this is precisely equal to the subextensive entropy.
If we have been observing a time series for a (long)
timeT, then the total amount of data we have collected
in is measured by the entropy S(T), and at large Tthis
is given approximately by S0T. But the predictive infor-
mation that we have gathered cannot grow linearly with
time, even if we are making predictions about a future
which stretches out to infinity. As a result, of the total
information we have taken in by observing xpast, only a
vanishing fraction is of relevance to the prediction:
lim
T→∞Predictive Information
Total Information=Ipred(T)
S(T)→0.(6)
In this precise sense, most of what we observe is irrele-
vant to the problem of predicting the future. Since the
average Kolmogorov complexity of a time series is related
to its (total) Shannon entropy, this result means also that
most of the algorithm that is required to encode the data
encodes aspects of the data that are useless for prediction
or for guiding our actions based on the data. This is a
strong indication that the usual notions of Kolmogorov
complexity in fact do not capture anything at all like the
(intuitive) utility of the data stream.
Consider the case where time is measured in discrete
steps, so that we have seen Ntime points x1, x2,· · ·, xN.
How much is there to learn about the underlying pattern
in these data? In the limit of large number of observa-
tions, N→ ∞ orT→ ∞ the answer to this question is
surprisingly universal: predictive information may eithe r
stay finite, or grow to infinity together with T; in the
latter case the rate of growth may be slow (logarithmic)
or fast (sublinear power).
The first possibility, lim T→∞Ipred(T) = constant,
means that no matter how long we observe we gain only
a finite amount of information about the future. This sit-
uation prevails, in both extreme cases mentioned above.
For example, when the dynamics are too regular, such as
it is for a purely periodic system, complete prediction is
possible once we know the phase, and if we sample the
data at discrete times this is a finite amount of informa-
tion; longer period orbits intuitively are more complex
and also have larger Ipred, but this doesn’t change the
limiting behavior lim T→∞Ipred(T) = constant.
Similarly, the predictive information can be small when
the dynamics are irregular but the best predictions are
controlled only by the immediate past, so that the corre-
lation times of the observable data are finite. This hap-
pens, for example, in many physical systems far away
from phase transitions. Imagine, for example, that we
observe x(t) at a series of discrete times {tn}, and that
at each time point we find the value xn. Then we always
can write the joint distribution of the Ndata points as
a product,
P(x1, x2,· · ·, xN) =P(x1)P(x2|x1)P(x3|x2, x1)· · ·.(7)For Markov processes, what we observe at tndepends
only on events at the previous time step tn−1, so that
P(xn|{x1≤i≤n−1}) =P(xn|xn−1), (8)
and hence the predictive information reduces to
Ipred=/angbracketleftBigg
log2/bracketleftbiggP(xn|xn−1)
P(xn)/bracketrightbigg/angbracketrightBigg
. (9)
The maximum possible predictive information in this
case is the entropy of the distribution of states at one time
step, which in turn is bounded by the logarithm of the
number of accessible states. To approach this bound the
system must maintain memory for a long time, since the
predictive information is reduced by the entropy of the
transition probabilities. Thus systems with more states
and longer memories have larger values of Ipred.
More interesting are those cases in which Ipred(T) di-
verges at large T. In physical systems we know that
there are critical points where correlation times become
infinite, so that optimal predictions will be influenced by
events in the arbitrarily distant past. Under these condi-
tions the predictive information can grow without bound
asTbecomes large; for many systems the divergence is
logarithmic, Ipred(T→ ∞)∝logT.
Long range correlation also are important in a time se-
ries where we can learn some underlying rules. Suppose
a series of random vector variables {/vector xi}are drawn inde-
pendently from the same probability distribution Q(/vector x|α),
and this distribution depends on a (potentially infinite
dimensional) vector of parameters α. The parameters
are unknown, and before the series starts they are cho-
sen randomly from a distribution P(α). In this set-
ting, at least implicitly, our observations of {/vector xi}pro-
vide data from which we can learn the parameters α.
Here we put aside (for the moment) the usual problem
of learning—which might involve constructing some es-
timation or regression scheme that determines a “best
fit”αfrom the data {/vector xi}—and treat the ensemble of
data streams P[{/vector xi}] as we would any other set of con-
figurations in statistical mechanics or dynamical systems
theory. In particular, we can compute the entropy of
the distribution P[{/vector xi}] even if we can’t provide explicit
algorithms for solving the learning problem.
As is shown in [5], the crucial quantity in such anal-
ysis is the density of models in the vicinity of the
target ¯α—the parameters that actually generated the
sequence. For two distributions, a natural distance
measure is the Kullback–Leibler divergence D(¯α||α) =/integraltext
d/vector xQ(/vector x|¯α)log [Q(/vector x|¯α)/Q(/vector x|α)], and the density is
ρ(D;¯α) =/integraldisplay
dKαP(α)δ[D−DKL(¯α||α)]. (10)
Ifρis large as D→0, then one easily can get close to
the target for many different data; thus they are not very
3informative. On the other hand, small density means
that only very particular data lead to ¯α, so they carry a
lot of predictive information. Therefore, it is clear that
the density, but not the number of parameters or any
other simplistic measure, characterizes predictability a nd
the complexity of prediction. If, as often is the case for
dimα<∞, the density behaves in the way common
to finite dimensional systems of the usual statistical me-
chanics,
ρ(D→0,¯α)≈AD(K−2)/2, (11)
then the predictive information to the leading order is
Ipred(N)≈K/2 logN . (12)
The modern theory of learning is concerned in large
part with quantifying the complexity of a model class,
and in particular with replacing a simple count of pa-
rameters with a more rigorous notion of dimensionality
for the space of models; for a general review of these ideas
see Ref. [6], and for discussion close in spirit to ours see
Ref. [7]. The important point here is that the dimension-
ality of the model class, and hence the complexity of the
class in the sense of learning theory, emerges as the coeffi-
cient of the logarithmic divergence in Ipred. Thus a mea-
sure of complexity in learning problems can be derived
from a more general dynamical systems or statistical me-
chanics point of view, treating the data in the learning
problem as a time series or one dimensional lattice. The
logarithmic complexity class that we identify as being
associated with finite dimensional models also arises, for
example, at the Feigenbaum accumulation point in the
period doubling route to chaos [4].
As noted by Grassberger in his original discussion,
there are time series for which the divergence of Ipred
is stronger than a logarithm. We can construct an exam-
ple by looking at the density function ρin our learning
problem above: finite dimensional models are associated
with algebraic decay of the density as D→0, and we can
imagine that there are model classes in which this decay
is more rapid, for example
ρ(D→0)≈Aexp [−B/Dµ], µ > 0. (13)
In this case it can be shown that the predictive informa-
tion diverges very rapidly, as a sublinear power law,
Ipred(N)∼Nµ/(µ+1). (14)
One way that this scenario can arise is if the distribution
Q(/vector x) that we are trying to learn does not belong to any
finite parameter family, but is itself drawn from a distri-
bution that enforces a degree of smoothness [8]. Under-
standably, stronger smoothness constraints have smaller
powers (less to predict) than the weaker ones (more to
predict). For example, a rather simple case of predictinga one dimensional variable that comes from a continuous
distribution produces Ipred(N)∼√
N.
As with the logarithmic class, we expect that power–
law divergences in Ipredare not restricted to the learn-
ing problems that we have studied in detail. The gen-
eral point is that such behavior will be seen in prob-
lems where predictability over long scales, rather then
being controlled by a fixed set of ever more precisely
known parameters, is governed by a progressively more
detailed description—effectively increasing the number
of parameters—as we collect more data. This seems a
plausible description of what happens in language, where
rules of spelling allow us to predict forthcoming letters
of long words, grammar binds the words together, and
compositional unity of the entire text allows to make pre-
dictions about the subject of the last page of the book
after reading only the first few. Indeed, Shannon’s clas-
sic experiment on the predictability of English text (by
human readers!) shows this behavior [9], and more re-
cently several groups have extracted power–law subex-
tensive components from the numerical analysis of large
corpora of text (see, for example, [10], [11]).
Interestingly, even without an explicit example, a sim-
ple argument ensures existence of exponential densities
and, therefore, power law predictive information models.
If the number of parameters in a learning problem is not
finite then in principle it is impossible to predict anything
unless there is some appropriate regularization. If we let
the number of parameters stay finite but become large,
then there is moreto be learned and correspondingly the
predictive information grows in proportion to this num-
ber. On the other hand, if the number of parameters
becomes infinite without regularization, then the predic-
tive information should go to zero since nothing can be
learned. We should be able to see this happen in a regu-
larized problem as the regularization weakens: eventually
the regularization would be insufficient and the predictive
information would vanish. The only way this can hap-
pen is if the predictive information grows more and more
rapidly with Nas we weaken the regularization, until fi-
nally it becomes extensive (equivalently, drops to zero)
at the point where prediction becomes impossible. To
realize this scenario we have to go beyond Ipred∝logT
withIpred∝Nµ/(µ+1); the transition from increasing
predictive information to zero occurs as µ→1.
This discussion makes it clear that the predictive infor-
mation (the subextensive entropy) distinguishes between
problems of intuitively different complexity and thus, in
accord to Grassberger’s definitions [4], is probably a good
choice for a universal complexity measure. Can this in-
tuition be made more precise?
First we need to decide whether we want to attach mea-
sures of complexity to a particular signal x(t) or whether
we are interested in measures that are defined by an av-
erage over the ensemble P[x(t)]. One problem in assign-
ing complexity to single realizations is that there can be
4atypical data streams. Second, Grassberger [4] in par-
ticular has argued that our visual intuition about the
complexity of spatial patterns is an ensemble concept,
even if the ensemble is only implicit. The fact that we
admit probabilistic models is crucial: even at a colloquial
level, if we allow for probabilistic models then there is a
simple description for a sequence of truly random bits,
but if we insist on a deterministic model then it may
be very complicated to generate precisely the observed
string of bits. Furthermore, in the context of probabilis-
tic models it hardly makes sense to ask for a dynamics
that generates a particular data stream; we must ask for
dynamics that generate the data with reasonable prob-
ability, which is more or less equivalent to asking that
the given string be a typical member of the ensemble
generated by the model. All of these paths lead us to
thinking not about single strings but about ensembles
in the tradition of statistical mechanics, and so we shall
search for measures of complexity that are averages over
the distribution P[x(t)].
Once we focus on average quantities, we can provide
an axiomatic proof (much in the spirit of Shannon’s [12]
arguments establishing entropy as a unique information
measure) that links Ipredto complexity. We can start by
adopting Shannon’s postulates as constraints on a mea-
sure of complexity: if there are Nequally likely signals,
then the measure should be monotonic in N; if the sig-
nal is decomposable into statistically independent parts
then the measure should be additive with respect to this
decomposition; and if the signal can be described as a
leaf on a tree of statistically independent decisions then
the measure should be a weighted sum of the measures at
each branching point. We believe that these constraints
are as plausible for complexity measures as for informa-
tion measures, and it is well known from Shannon’s orig-
inal work that this set of constraints leaves the entropy
as the only possibility. Since we are discussing a time de-
pendent signal, this entropy depends on the duration of
our sample, S(T). We know of course that this cannot be
the end of the discussion, because we need to distinguish
between randomness (entropy) and complexity. The path
to this distinction is to introduce other constraints on our
measure.
First we notice that if the signal xis continuous, then
the entropy is not invariant under transformations of x
that do not mix point at different times (reparameteri-
zations). It seems reasonable to ask that complexity be
a function of the process we are observing and not of
the coordinate system in which we choose to record our
observations. However, that it is not the whole function
S(T) which depends on the coordinate system for x; it is
only the extensive component of the entropy that has this
noninvariance. This can be seen more generally by not-
ing that subextensive terms in the entropy contribute to
the mutual information among different segments of the
data stream (including the predictive information definedhere), while the extensive entropy cannot; mutual infor-
mation is coordinate invariant, so all of the noninvariance
must reside in the extensive term. Thus, any measure
complexity that is coordinate invariant must discard the
extensive component of the entropy.
If we continue along these lines, we can think about
the asymptotic expansion of the entropy at large T. The
extensive term is the first term in this series, and we have
seen that it must be discarded. What about the other
terms? In the context of predicting in a parameterized
model, most of the terms in this series depend in detail
on our prior distribution in parameter space, which might
seem odd for a measure of complexity. More generally, if
we consider transformations of the data stream x(t) that
mix points within a temporal window of size τ, then for
T >> τ the entropy S(T) may have subextensive terms
which are constant, and these are not invariant under
this class of transformations. On the other hand, if there
are divergent subextensive terms, these areinvariant un-
der such temporally local transformations [13]. So if we
insist that measures of complexity be invariant not only
under instantaneous coordinate transformations, but also
under temporally local transformations, then we can dis-
card both the extensive and the finite subextensive terms
in the entropy, leaving only the divergent subextensive
terms as a possible measure of complexity.
To illustrate the purpose of these two extra conditions,
we may think of the following example: measuring veloc-
ity of a turbulent fluid flow at a given point. The condi-
tion of invariance under reparameterizations means that
the complexity is independent of the scale used by the
speedometer. On the other hand, the second condition
ensures that the temporal mixing due to the finiteness of
the inertia of the speedometer’s needle does not change
the estimated complexity of the flow.
In our view, these arguments (or their slight variation
also presented in [5]) settle the question of the unique
definition of complexity. Not only is the divergent subex-
tensive component of the entropy the unique complexity
measure, but it is also a universal one since it is con-
nected in a straightforward way to many other measures
that have arisen in statistics and in dynamical systems
theory. A bit less straightforward is the connection to
the Kolmogorov’s definition that started the whole dis-
cussion, but even this can also be made.
To make this connection we follow the suggestion of
Standish [14] that one should focus not on the complex-
ity of particular strings but of equivalence classes. In the
present case it is natural to define an equivalence class
of data x(−T < t ≤0) as those data that generate indis-
tinguishable conditional probability distributions for t he
future, P[x(t >0)|x(−T < t ≤0)]. If this conditional
distribution has sufficient statistics, then there exists a
compression of the past data x(−T < t ≤0) into exactly
Ipred(T) bits while preserving all of the mutual informa-
tion with the future. But this means that the ensemble of
5data in an equivalence class can be described, on average,
using exactly this many bits. Thus, for dynamics such
that the prediction problem has sufficient statistics, the
average Kolmogorov complexity of equivalence classes de-
fined by the indistinguishability of predictions is equal to
the predictive information. By the arguments above, pre-
diction is theuseful thing which we can do with a data
stream, and so in this case it makes sense to say that the
Kolmogorov complexity of representing the useful bits of
data is equal to the predictive information. Note also
that Kolmogorov complexity is defined only up to a con-
stant depending on the computer used [1]. A computer
independent definition requires ignoring constant terms
and focusing only on asymptotic behavior. This agrees
very well with our arguments above that identified only
the divergent part of the predictive information with the
complexity of a data stream.
In the terminology suggested by Grassberger, the
statement that the prediction problem has sufficient
statistics means that the True Measure Complexity is
equal to the Effective Measure Complexity [4]; simi-
larly, the statistical complexity defined by Crutchfield and
coworkers [15] then also is equal to predictive informa-
tion defined here. These are strong statements, and it is
likely that they are not true precisely for most natural
data streams. More generally one can ask for compres-
sions that preserve the maximum fraction of the relevant
(in this case, predictive) information, and our intuitive
notion of data being “understandable” or “summariz-
able” is that these selective compressions can be very
efficient [16]—here efficiency means that we can com-
press the past into a description with length not much
larger than Ipred(T) while preserving a finite fraction of
the (diverging) information about the future; an exam-
ple is when we summarize data by the parameters of the
model that describes the underlying stochastic process.
The opposite situation is illustrated by certain crypto-
graphic codes, where the relevant information is accessi-
ble (at best) only from the entire data set. Thus we can
classify data streams by their predictive information, but
additionally by whether this predictive information can
be represented efficiently. For those data where efficient
representation is possible, the predictive information an d
the mean Kolmogorov complexity of future–equivalent
classes will be similar; with more care we can guarantee
that these quantities are proportional as T→ ∞. Per-
haps Wigner’s famous remarks about the unreasonable
effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences could
be rephrased as the conjecture that the data streams oc-
curring in nature—although often complex as measured
by their predictive information—nonetheless belong to
this efficiently representable class.[1] M. Li and P. Vit´ anyi. An Introduction to Kolmogorov

We have derived a closed form analytic expression for the asy mptotic motion of a pair of identical
ions in a high precision Penning trap. The analytic solution includes the effects of special relativity
and the Coulomb interaction between the ions. The existence and physical relevance of such a final
state is supported by a confluence of theoretical, experimen tal and numerical evidence.
PACS numbers: 32.80.Pj, 02.20+b, 33.80.Ps
High precision Penning traps are ideal for studying phys-
ical characteristics of individual ions. These traps, as
described for example in Ref.[1], have magnetic fields
that over the trajectories of the ions vary by less than a
part per billion. In consequence, the motional frequency
linewidths can be made so narrow that effects of special
relativity are readily apparent even at these relatively lo w
velocities2.
To remove systematic effects it is often desirable to fill
the trap with two ions and much is known about the re-
sulting frequency perturbations caused by the Coulomb
interaction between dissimilar ions3. The situation with
two identical ions has also been extensively studied much
(see Ref.[4,5] and references therein). The solution and
approach that we describe here are rather different than
those references however, since they include the electric
trap field but ignore relativistic mass increase. Includ-
ing this effect of special relativity may be crucial for un-
derstanding the observation6of cyclotron mode-locking
between identical ions (see also Ref.[7]).
We present details of an analytical model of two iden-
tical ions in a high precision Penning trap. The model
is asymptotically solvable in terms of elliptic functions.
This solution is, in practical terms for protons and heav-
ier ions, a generic final state of two identical ions in a
precision Penning trap.
We begin with a symmetry argument detailing what
is special about the two identical ion system and then
we introduce and solve the model. For two dissimilar
ions the center of charge is different than the center of
mass. The motion of the center of charge causes currents
to run in the detection circuit and in the walls of the
trap itself causing a force to act back on the ions. This
retarding force acts on the center of charge and so if the
center of charge is different than the center of mass thesedamping forces act always on a mixture of the center of
mass motion and the relative motions of the ion pair.
This is not the case for identical ions in the trap. In
that case the center of mass and the center of charge
are the same and so the retarding force acts only on the
center of mass motion. Thus, the relative motion of the
ions is relatively undamped, being subject only to the
weaker quadrupolar damping (which is associated with
timescales generally longer than typical experiments). In
this sense we speak of this final state of the two identical
ion system as a decoupled, or, dark state.
One way to understand the existence of this cyclotron
dark state is with a symmetry argument. Neglect dissi-
pation, relativity and interaction and consider the Pois-
son algebra of two ions moving in a horizontal plane (we
shall describe why this is relevant to experiment later)
in a uniform perpendicular magnetic field. The Hamilto-
nian is proportional to H=p2
1+p2
2+α(p2
3+p2
4), where
α=ma/mbis the mass ratio and p1,2(resp. p3,4) are the
canonical momenta of particle a(resp. particle b). For
α/negationslash= 1 the subalgebra commuting with Hisso(2) xso(2)
whereas if α= 1 the algebra is so(2) x so(3). The fact
that there are additional commuting generators in the
equal mass case indicates that there is a flat direction in
the dynamics of that case, corresponding to degeneracy
between cyclotron dark states of different total angular
momentum.
There is a straightforward geometrical way of under-
standing the special qualities of the two identical ion
Penning trap. Again consider the ions confined to a
plane perpendicular to the magnetic field and ignore tem-
porarily the effects of relativity and interaction. The to-
tal angular momentum of the two ion system is L=
p2
1+p2
2+p2
3+p2
4(note independent of the mass ratio
α). Now, turning on relativity and interactions pertur-batively, we learn that the motion is essentially restricte d
to the intersection of iso- Hand iso- Lsurfaces. A generic
intersection of these surfaces in R4for the α/negationslash= 1 case is
a two-dimensional torus (and so has an isometry group
so(2) x so(2)) whereas when α= 1 the intersection is
not generic, but is the whole S3. Although the isome-
try group of S3, being so(4), is isomorphic to so(3) x
so(3) the physically relevant isometry group is that which
preserves not only the geometry but also the underly-
ing Poisson structure, which is sp(4) in this case. The
canonical intersection8in the group of matrices GL(4) of
so(4) and sp(4) is the algebra u(2), which is isomorphic
toso(2) xso(3), which again is the enhanced symmetry
discussed above. We note that both the geometrical and
algebraic picture can be easily generalized to the case of
Nidentical ions9.
Having described the symmetry properties unique to
two identical ions in a Penning trap, we now introduce
the interacting model by starting with the following three
assumptions.
1) The ions are very near the center of the trap, and
ignore effects due to the spatial gradient of the electro-
static fields of the trap (that is, we completely ignore the
trap magnetron motion). The cyclotron frequency shifts
in an isolated ion’s cyclotron motion is entirely due to
relativistic effects.
2) the ions are mode locked already in the trap’s axial
drive and so their motions may be thought of as being
confined to a plane6,7.
3) The energy loss mechanism is entirely due to the
dissipation of image charge currents induced in the
trap/detection system, and thus couple only to the center
of mass of the ion pair).
Under these assumptions, the equations of motion for

rest mass-energy of ion 1 (similar expression for f2is in
terms of the kinetic energy of the second particle). This
term, due entirely to special relativistic mass increase,
causes the cyclotron frequency to depend on the kinetic
energy of the ion(s).
We add and subtract Eq. (1) and Eq. (2) to rewrite
them in terms of the center of mass co-ordinate /vectorXcmand
the relative coordinate /vectorR,

Let/vectorV=˙/vectorXcmbe a symbol for the center of mass velocity.
As expected, only the center of mass velocity enters into
the equations. Confined as they are to the same vertical
plane, this becomes a six-dimensional (phase-space) sys-
tem. Let /vectorU=˙/vectorR. In these variables, the combinations
f1−f2=/vectorU·/vectorV
c2andf1+f2=/vectorU2+4/vectorV2

As per earlier discussion, from Eq. (3) and Eq. (4), it
is clear that the center of mass motion is damped but
the relative motion is not. Thus, after sufficient time, it
is consistent to assume that the center of mass motion
damps out completely, that is, /vectorV→0. The coupling
term between the /vectorRmotion and the /vectorV(center of mass)
motion is through the term proportional to f1−f2(itself
proportional to V), and so Eq. (3) and Eq. (4) quickly
decouple as /vectorV→0.
The resulting motion can be treated perturbatively in
small /vectorV. To find the zeroth order term we ignore the cou-
pling term completely, resulting in exponential decay for
/vectorVand the total center-of-mass kinetic energy. Asymp-
totically for the relative co-ordinate Eq. (4) becomes
¨/vectorR+ω0(1−f1+f2

m0R3= 0 . (5)
This is a system of two coupled non-linear second or-
der differential equations. Generally such systems do not
admit closed-form, analytical solution. Somewhat sur-
prisingly, we now point out that Eq. (5) admits a general
solution in terms of elliptic functions.
The approach is standard. First we find two integrals
of the motion, reducing the four (phase space) dimen-
sional system in Eq. (5) to a two dimensional (phase
space) system. The integrals are the energy and a gen-
eralization of angular momentum. The inter-ion energy
results from taking the dot product of Eq. (5) with˙/vectorR,
forming the total differential, and integrating to find the
integration constant,
u0=1
2|˙/vectorR|2+2e2
m0R(6)
Since the equations have manifest rotational symmetry,
there is a conserved angular momentum. As always with
a magnetic field, the total angular momentum receives a
contribution from the magnetic field. Proceed by taking
the vector cross product of /vectorRand Eq. (5) to find
dL
dt−ω0
2(1−f)dR2
dt= 0 (7)
where, as always, R=|/vectorR|, andf= (|˙/vectorR|
2c)2is the term due
to special relativity. The angular momentum per unit
massL= ˆz·(/vectorR×˙/vectorR) =R2dφ
dtis the standard definition.
Now, using the inter-ion energy integral Eq. (6), fcan
be written entirely as a function of R. Doing so for finEq. (7) and integrating leads to the integration constant

L0=L−w0

L0represents the generalized angular momentum.
Since they are independent, the constants of motion
in equations Eq. (6) and Eq. (8) constrain the motion
to lie in a two-dimensional surface in the original four-
dimensional phase space. Of course, that fact by itself is
insufficient to guarantee integrability of the equations of
motion in closed form. However additional peculiarities
of this system Eq. (5) result in closed form solution.
In polar co-ordinates the kinetic energy in the potential
energy equation can be written
/parenleftbiggd/vectorR

and solving Eq. (8) for Land substituting we find that

. Since the
RHS involves only five consecutive powers of R(namely,
R2, R, R0, ...R−2). the equation is that of an elliptic func-
tion.
More explicitly, we now compute the orbital period of
the dark state and find the orbit trajectory parametri-
caly. To compute the period we rewrite Eq. (10) as
dt=dR/radicalbig

with ˜u= 2u0−2L0β−α2, and n= 2L0α+4e2

The integral is a combination of standard elliptic func-
tions. In lab co-ordinates R, φthe orbits will in general
be open (with some precession rate which can be written
in terms of complete elliptic integrals) just as viewing the
orbits in the R, tco-ordinates, where now “precession” in
tin simply the period of the orbit. The period Tof these
orbits is thus given by a contour integral of the RHS of
Eq. (11) around the cut running between the classical
turning points (we label) a0anda1, namely,

where the aiare the roots of the fourth degree polyno-
mial written in Eq. (17). By looking at the signs of terms
in the polynomial we can see that there can be at most
two real positive roots. Physically we expect there to be
exactly two real positive roots which we have called a0
anda1. These are the classical turning points of the mo-
tion, and represent the furthest and nearest approaches
of the particles.Furthermore, in the system we are working with, for
typical values of parameters, we find that all roots are
real, with two positive and two negative. We may then
order the roots a0≥a1≥a2≥a3. Note also that the
canonical choice of phase for the square root on the cut
between a0anda1isiand so the period in Eq. (12) is
real and positive.
Finally, computing the integral in Eq. (12) yields (no-
tation is that in Ref. [10]),

where Kand Π are respectively the complete ellip-
tic integrals of the first and third kind, and ρ=/radicalbig
(a0−a2)(a1−a3) and k=√

ρis the
square root of the cross-ratio of the roots. Note that the
first argument in the Π is negative, as it should be on
physical grounds, since Π is convergent for any negative
argument.
One of the most striking experimental surprises of the
two identical ion system is the discovery of cyclotron
mode-locking6. In these events the two frequency traces
corresponding (approximately) to the individual ions mo-
tions meld into one trace. This visible trace is the cen-
ter of mass motion of the dark state. Our analysis in-
dicates that there is another invisible (as a dipole) fre-
quency branch associated with the inter-ion motion and
that it has frequency2π
TwithTof Eq. (13). For the case
of two protons in a typical precision Penning trap (at
ω0∼5x108) we find that Eq. (13) yields frequencies are
some tens of Hertz different than ω0. It would be an inter-
esting test to apply a sequence of dipole and quadrupolar
fields to make transitions between dark states and (visi-
ble) center of mass states.
By standard means we now derive explicit formulae
for the shape of the dark state orbits. Recall that, by
definition of the angular momentum, L, and Eq. (8)

Note directly from Eq. (16) and Eq. (18) that the pre-
cession of these orbits is given by twice the RHS Eq. (16)
with each incomplete elliptic functions replaced by its
complete elliptic counterpart.
We have completed a numerical simulation of the sys-
tem Eq. (1) and Eq. (2) for a range of initial conditions.
To abet numerical stability those equations were rewrit-
ten in the co-rotating frame and integrated using com-
mercial (IDLtm) routines on a DEC Alpha workstation.
Some of these IDLtmprograms link compiled versions of
CERN’s Mathlib elliptic function routines. The results
from a typical run are shown in Figures 1 (resp. 2) where
both the u0of Eq. (6) (resp. L0of Eq. (8)) are plotted
as functions of time.
The figures show that initially the motions of the ions
are essentially independent as the energy dissipates. Dur-
ing this regime the total energy of the system is split
between the center of mass motion and the inter-ion mo-
tion. Note that due to the large dynamic range of these
simulations we have plotted the logarithm of the energy.
Thus, the linear decay of the envelope of the inter-ion en-
ergyu0in this initial regime is the exponential damping
of the energy of the system as a whole.
Eventually the center of charge motion damps away
appreciably and the remaining inter-ion motion persists.
As described earlier, in real experiments of this type the
dark state we are describing is likely to be effectively the
final state since we expect the inter-ion motion to decay
via quadrupole radiation on a timescale long compared
with typical two-ion experiments. For our simulation this
final state is reached at simulated time 150, after which
bothu0andL0are essentially constant (up to numerical
accuracy of the simulations).
In conclusion, we have derived closed form analytic for-
mulae for the dark state of two identical ions in a Pen-
ning trap. To find this solution, we assumed that the
pair is near the center of the trap (we have completely
neglected the effect of the trap’s electrostatic fields) and
that the motion of the ions is confined to the same az-
imuthal plane. It is straightforward to include in this
analysis the effects of the trap’s electric field and also a
fixed average vertical offset between the cyclotron planes
of the ions. This results in formulae for the two integrals
of motion that have additional terms compared with the
Eq. (6) and Eq. (8). However, the resulting equations of
motion for the dark state are no longer solvable in terms
of known functions.

Abstract
A recent proposal asserts that gravitational forces arise due to an interaction between matter and vacuum
electromagnetic zero-point radiation. The present analysis demonstrates that forces induced on matter byzero-point radiation arise in addition to gravitational forces. It is argued that zero-point radiation should bered-shifted near large gravitational sources while remaining essentially undetectable within freely falling
reference frames. On this basis, an effective weight of an observer stationed near the surface of the Earth is
derived for the case when zero-point radiation is present. It is then argued that the weight of matter may beaffected by altering the gravitational anisotropy of zero-point radiation.
1. Introduction
In recent times, there have been several attempts to shed greater insight into the origin of inertial and
gravitational forces. According to one recent proposal, inertial and gravitational forces alike arise entirely
due to an interaction between vacuum electromagnetic zero-point radiation and subatomic particles
comprising ordinary matter [1]. For the case of inertia, this proposal suggests that when an objectaccelerates through the zero-point radiation field (ZPF), pervading all of space, the quarks and electronscomprising the object scatter a portion of the radiation passing through the object. This in turn exerts an
electromagnetic drag force on the object, which, according to this ZPF proposal, can be associated with the
object’s inertia. Additionally, those who support the ZPF proposal also seek to ascribe gravitation entirelyto interaction with zero-point radiation. However, such an approach is certainly not without conceptual
difficulties.
One source of difficulty surrounds the question of what percentage of the force on an object is actually
ZPF induced. This question seems to be hinged on the origin of the rest mass-energy of matter. Accordingto the ZPF proposal, the energy content of matter is entirely internal kinetic energy due to ZPF-induced
jittering motion, or zitterbewegung [1], of quarks and electrons comprising ordinary matter. As pointed out
in [2], however, ascribing the energy content of subatomic particles entirely to internal kinetic energyeffectively neglects the rest mass-energy content of these particles. It is straightforward to see that quarksand electrons each possess charge and spin, and hence are each surrounded by an electromagnetic field.
These electromagnetic fields possess energy. Therefore, while ZPF-induced zitterbewegung must certainly
give rise to kinetic energy of quarks and electrons, such particles also possess intrinsic quantities of restmass-energy due at least in part to their electromagnetic fields.
Another seemingly important issue is the space-time curvature, or distortion, existing near gravitational
sources. The ZPF proposal appears to do away with the notion of space-time distortion, opting in favor of
electrodynamic properties of space-time. One example of this can be seen in an attempt to explain thegravitational bending of light near gravitational sources by ascribing variable dielectric properties to space[1]. In essence, the ZPF proposal treats space as a polarizable vacuum. As is very well known, however,
general relativity predicts that space and time intervals are affected by the presence of gravitating matter. It2is difficult to imagine how the ZPF proposal can account for the well-documented dilation of time arising
near gravitational sources [5]. In our opinion it is precisely the behavior of space-time predicted by general
relativity that gives rise to inertial and gravitational forces.
In previous analyses, we have used special and general relativity to demonstrate that inertia is purely
relativistic in origin [2]. Specifically, for the case of inertia, we have shown that a force-producing agent
who exerts a constant force on an object experiences a reactive force of the form
dtEdτ=−f∇∇∇∇ ,( 1 )
wherein E is the total energy content of the object, dτ is an interval of proper time experienced by the
accelerating object, and dt is a corresponding interval of time experienced by the force-producing agent.
Using this expression, it has been further shown that ZPF-induced forces acting on accelerating matter arise
in addition to the intrinsic inertial properties of matter [2]. The present analysis uses the same approach for
the case of ZPF-forces induced due to gravitation. Herein it is demonstrated that gravitationally induced
ZPF-forces acting on an observer residing near a gravitational source arise in addition to the gravitationalforce due to the intrinsic energy content of the observer and the source.
One noteworthy point to notice is that electromagnetic zero-point radiation possesses energy. Thus, it
makes sense that zero-point radiation must be subject to gravitation just as are other forms of energy, and
so one would expect the ZPF to be red-shifted near large gravitational sources. Such a red-shift ought toarise simply because gravitational space-time curvature gives rise to anisotropy in the electromagneticmode structure of the ZPF. Additionally, electromagnetic zero-point radiation is Lorentz invariant [1],
which suggests that zero-point radiation should be essentially uniformly distributed within freely falling
reference frames. Based on this line of reasoning, we suspect that the ZPF should exert some level of forceon an observer stationed near a gravitational source, while remaining substantially undetectable to freelyfalling observers. This observation is used herein to demonstrate that ZPF-induced forces act in addition to
gravitational forces.
In the next Section, an effective weight is derived for the case of an observer stationed near the Earth in
the presence of zero-point radiation. The resulting expression for the observer’s weight contains threeterms. The first term is the usual Newtonian expression for the gravitational force between two massive
bodies. The second term is a body force acting on the observer due to interaction with zero-point radiation.
The third term is a gravitational force arising due to other forms of energy that may be present, such as dueto the small and weak forces within the observer. Based on this expression, it is concluded that
gravitationally induced ZPF-forces on matter are additional body forces that contribute to the observable
weight of ordinary matter.
In Section 3, it is argued that zero-point radiation may be manipulated to create observable forces on
material objects. It is pointed out that since zero-point radiation is electromagnetic in origin, and
contributes to the weight of matter, it may in fact be possible to alter the effective weight of matter through3electromagnetic manipulation of the ZPF. The key to doing this appears to be to alter the gravitational
anisotropy of the electromagnetic mode structure of the ZPF [6]. To illustrate this, the expression for the
effective weight derived in Section 2 is considered. It is argued that a local manipulation of thegravitational anisotropy of zero-point radiation correspondingly alters the quantity of passive gravitationalenergy imparted to the observer, which in turn affects the effective weight of the observer.
2. Weight due to Gravitational Anisotropy of Zero-Point Radiation
As pointed out in the Introduction, electromagnetic zero-point radiation does not exert forces on bodies
undergoing free-fall motion simply because such radiation is uniformly distributed within freely fallingreference frames. This is not the case, however, when an object is held stationary near a large gravitationalsource. The reference frame of such an object is non-inertial, and so all modes comprising the zero-point
field (ZPF) are gravitationally red-shifted. This anisotropy in the mode structure of the ZPF must give rise
to some level of force on the stationary object [1]. However, as shown herein, such a ZPF-induced forcenecessarily arises in addition to the gravitational force on the object.
Let an observer, of proper mass m, be stationed a distance r from the center of a weak gravitational
source such as the Earth. Within the stationary reference frame of the observer, the ZPF is observably red-
shifted due to space-time distortion near the Earth. According to the reasoning presented in theIntroduction, such a red-shift of the ZPF gives rise to a body force on the observer, which acts in additionto the gravitational force on the observer [2]. According to [2], the total force acting on the observer may
be expressed in the form
dtEdτ′=−f∇∇∇∇ ,( 2 )
where E′ is the total energy content of the observer, and dt dτ is a scalar function that characterizes the
gravitational distortion of space-time near the Earth. One important point to notice is that E′ represents all
forms of energy possessed by the observer, and is not limited to merely the ZPF-induced energy. Thus, the
total energy content of the observer must be expressed as ZPF EE E U′=+ + , where E is the intrinsic mass-
energy of the observer, ZPFE is the internal ZPF-induced kinetic energy of the subatomic particles
comprising the observer, and U includes additional forms of energy that may be possessed by the observer,
such as due to the strong and weak forces. Using this expression for the energy content of the observer, Eq.(2) can be recast in the form
()ZPFdtEE Udτ=− + + f ∇∇∇∇ .( 3 )4The sum enclosed within parentheses makes it clear that the interaction between zero-point radiation and
the subatomic particles comprising the observer contributes positively to the passive gravitational mass-
energy of the observer.
In order to evaluate Eq. (3), an expression for the scalar function dt dτ must first be derived. As is
very well known, the geometry of space-time exterior to a large spherical source is described by the
Schwarzschild coordinate system, having a space-time interval of the form
2
22 2 2 2 2 2 2
2
22121GM drds c dt r d r Sin dGM cr
crθθ φ=− − − − −,( 4 )
in which G is the gravitational constant, M is the total mass of the source, and { , , } rθφ are spherical
coordinates exterior to the source. Noting that the observer remains stationary and using Eq. (4), the scalar
function dt dτ is easily found to be
21
21dt
d GM
crτ=
−,( 5 )
wherein dτ is an interval of proper time experienced by the stationary observer and dt is an interval of
time experienced by a free fall observer whose coordinate origin is momentarily coincident with that of the
stationary observer at a time 0 t=. For the case of small, weakly gravitating sources, Eq. (5) simplifies to
an approximate form given by
21dt GM
dc rτ≈+ .( 6 )
This expression for the scalar function dt dτ holds for the case of small, weakly gravitating sources such
as the Earth.
Using Eq. (6) and expressing the gradient operator in terms of the Schwarzschild coordinate system, Eq.
(3) is easily simplified to
()2ˆ 1ZPFGMEE U rrc r∂=− + + + ∂f ,( 7 )
where ˆr is a unit vector in the radial direction relative to the Earth, and only first order terms have been
retained. Carrying out the partial differentiation, and simplifying somewhat, Eq. (7) reduces to
22 2 2 2ˆˆ ˆZPFGMm GM GMrE rU rrc r c r=− − −f ,( 8 )5wherein 2Em c= has been used to simplify the first term. Equation (8) can be further simplified upon
noticing that, according to the ZPF proposal, the energy contributed to the observer due to interaction with
zero-point radiation is expressed as [1]
()3
232ZPFEV dcωηω ωπ=∫!,( 9 )
where V is the proper volume of the observer, and ()ηω is a spectral function that governs the extent to
which zero-point radiation actually interacts with the observer. Using Eq. (9) in Eq. (8), and rearranging a
bit, leads to
()3
22 2 2 3 2 2ˆˆ ˆ
2GMm GMV GMrr dU rrc r c c rωηω ωπ=− − − ∫f!. (10)
This is the effective weight of an observer stationed near the Earth in the presence of zero-point radiation.
The first term is easily identified as the usual Newtonian expression for the gravitational force between twomassive bodies. The second term is an additional force on the observer arising due to gravitationally
induced scattering of zero-point radiation. The third term arises due to additional forms of energy with
which the observer may be endowed, such as due to the strong and weak forces. The Newtonian forcearises simply because both the observer and the source possess intrinsic gravitational mass-energy. The
force due to zero-point radiation is clearly an additional downward-acting body force that contributes to the
measurable weight of the stationary observer. It is straightforward to see that if the gravitational mass-energy of the observer and source were strictly ZPF-induced, then the first and last terms in Eq. (10) wouldbe zero, and the force would then be described solely by the second term. This is precisely the objective of
those who support the ZPF proposal. However, without experimental evidence it must be presently
concluded that gravitationally induced ZPF-forces are additional forces that contribute to the observableweight of ordinary matter.
3. Affecting Weight Through Manipulation of Zero-Point Radiation
In the preceding Section, it was shown that zero-point radiation exerts additional forces on observers
stationed near gravitational sources. Such gravitationally induced ZPF-forces increase the observable
weights of such observers. With that in mind, it seems that the next natural question to ask is can the ZPFbe manipulated in such a manner that ZPF-induced forces act in opposition to gravitational forces?According to [6], both gravitational and inertial forces alike may be affected by altering the
electromagnetic mode structure of the ZPF. This suggests that ZPF-induced forces may be affected
through electromagnetic means. As pointed out in the preceding Section, the ZPF contributes to thepassive gravitational energy content of stationary observers simply because the ZPF is anisotropic in thenon-inertial frames of those observers. It is not difficult to imagine that some sort of electromagnetic
process might be performed that counteracts the gravitationally induced anisotropy of the ZPF. More6specifically, if the anisotropy of the ZPF were annulled or at least substantially reduced within a region in
which a stationary observer resides, near a gravitational source, the energy contributed to the observer due
to zero-point radiation would be substantially reduced, as well. Assuming that such an alteration canindeed be carried out, it is straightforward to see that in the limit as the ZPF-induced force tends towardzero, Eq. (10) reduces to
22 2ˆˆGMm GMrU rrc r=− −f . (11)
This implies that when the ZPF is affected in such a manner that it imparts zero energy to the stationary
observer, the force on the observer should reduce to a purely gravitational force. Continuing along theselines, it can be further imagined that through some process the ZPF might be affected to such an extent thatthe gravitational anisotropy of zero-point radiation becomes inverted, thus occurring in a direction opposite
to that normally caused by gravitation. The passive gravitational energy imparted to the observer then
becomes negative, and Eq. (10) assumes the form
()3
22 2 2 3 2 2ˆˆ ˆ
2GMm GMV GMrr dU rrc r c c rωηω ωπ=− + − ∫f!. (12)
The force given by the second term in this expression clearly acts in opposition to the purely gravitational
forces given by the first and third terms. This implies that when the ZPF is altered so that the ZPF-inducedforce acts upward, the weight of the stationary observer should appear somewhat smaller than when the
ZPF is unaltered. Clearly then, as the alteration in the anisotropy of the ZPF is further inverted, the
observable weight of the stationary observer should be further decreased, as well. Based on this line ofreasoning, when the ZPF is manipulated to such an extent that the resulting ZPF-induced force is equal, butoppositely directed, to the downward gravitation force, the observable weight of the observer should drop
to zero.
The next natural question to ask is how can such an alteration of the ZPF be carried out? One possible
answer may be found in [7] wherein it was shown that when the ZPF performs positive electromagneticwork within a localized region, the energy density of that region appears negative relative to the rest of the
universe. More simply stated, when the ZPF performs positive work, the energy density of the ZPF
decreases. Based on this, it is not difficult to speculate that any process through which the ZPF iscompelled to perform positive work may alter the local field geometry of the ZPF. And with certain field
configurations [7], it just may be possible to manipulate the weights of material objects.
One problem, however, is that the ZPF comprises an infinite number of electromagnetic frequency
modes [1]. At first thought, this seems to imply that an unmanageably large number of modes must bealtered in order to affect the ZPF. But this may not necessarily be the case. A very interesting discussion
given by [8] proposes that drawing energy from lower frequency modes of the ZPF may cause energy to
flow down the spectrum from the higher frequency modes. This seems to suggest that if, through some7process, the low frequency portion of the ZPF can be set into performing work, then the higher frequency
portion may be affected as well, thereby altering a substantial portion of the ZPF spectrum. Such an
approach may be the key to successfully manipulating the zero-point field mode structure.
As a final thought, it is interesting to ponder the work of Podkletnov and Nieminen [9] wherein a
levitating superconducting ring was alleged to have reduced the weights of objects suspended above the
ring. It may be that the superconducting ring somehow came into interaction with a portion of the ZPF,
causing the ZPF to perform work, and thereby reducing the gravitational anisotropy of the ZPF above thering. If the superconducting ring did indeed bring about a small reduction of the anisotropy of the ZPF,then the weights of objects placed above the ring should appear slightly smaller than when weighed
elsewhere. According to Podkletnov and Nieminen [9], such a minute weight-shift was indeed observed; a
5.47834-g sample was observed to loose between 0.05% and 2.0% of its weight when placed above thelevitating superconducting ring. It would be interesting to see if this small weight-shift can be derivedsolely on the basis of ZPF theory.
4. Discussion
A recent proposal asserts that the origin of gravitational forces is an interaction between the vacuum
electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) and the subatomic particles comprising ordinary matter [1]. On thecontrary, the present analysis has argued that zero-point radiation is not the source of gravitation, but rather
that ZPF-induced forces comprise additional gravitationally induced forces on matter. To demonstrate this,
an expression for the effective weight of an observer stationed near the Earth in the presence of zero-point
radiation was derived. The derivation was performed on the basis that since zero-point radiation iselectromagnetic, the ZPF is red-shifted near gravitational sources while remaining undetectable in the
inertial reference frames of free fall observers. The resulting expression for the effective weight suggests
that gravitationally induced ZPF-forces act in addition to gravitational forces, thereby increasing theweights of stationary observers.
Of particular interest was the question as to whether the weights of material objects may be affected
through manipulation of zero-point radiation. It was argued that such a task might be carried out by
somehow altering the gravitationally induced anisotropy of zero-point radiation [6]. Altering theanisotropy of zero-point radiation within a localized region necessarily alters the interaction energyimparted to observers residing within that region. This in turn affects the magnitude of ZPF-induced forces
on those observers. It was argued that reducing the gravitational anisotropy of the ZPF in the presence of a
stationary observer, residing near a gravitational source, may give rise to a corresponding reduction in theobservable weight of the observer. In closing, the observations of Podkletnov and Nieminen [9] were citedas one example in which a reduction of the gravitational anisotropy of zero-point radiation may have been
successfully achieved.8Notes and References

Abstract
Relativistic corrections to the hyperfine splitting are cal culated for the triplet
23S1state of the helium isotope He3. The electron-electron correlations are
fully incorporated. Due to the unknown nuclear structure co ntribution a
comparison with the experimental result is performed via He3+hyperfine
splitting. A significant discrepancy with the experiment ar ises and a possible
explanation is proposed.

1The calculation of higher order relativistic and QED effects in few electron systems is
a long standing problem. Various measurements of transitio n frequencies have reached the
precision of few ppb, while no theoretical predictions are y et so accurate [1]. The usual
approaches, which incorporate most of relativistic effects from the beginning, are not capa-
ble to include electron-electron correlations in a complet e way. The alternative approach
starts from the Schr¨ odinger equation and incorporates rel ativistic effects perturbatively in
the effective hamiltonian. The principal advantage is the si mplicity and high accuracy of
nonrelativistic wave functions, which allows for precise c alculations of higher order relativis-
tic effects. The cost one pays in the perturbative approach is the complexity and singularity
of the effective hamiltonian. The He3hyperfine splitting [2] is a nice example of difficulties
in the bound state QED and perturbative approaches. The Ferm i interaction, as given by
Dirac δ3(r) function is already quite singular. Incorporation of furt her relativistic effects
leads to even more singular operators, which have to be prope rly handled. In a recent work
onm α6contribution [3] to the helium 23S1ionization energy, we have shown the way to
handle singular effective operators. In this approach the Co ulomb interaction have to be
smoothed at small distances with the use of some parameter λ, to avoid small rnoninte-
grable singularities. The key point of this approach lies in the fact, that dependence on λ
cancel out between all matrix elements, and correct energy l evels are restored in the limit
λ→ ∞. However, our result obtained here is in the disagreement wi th experiments on the
helium hyperfine splitting. The possible explanation is pos tponed to the discussion at the
end of this work.
Hyperfine splitting in He3of 23S1state is due to the interaction of electron and helion
(nucleus) magnetic moments. In the 23S1state both electron spins are parallel and sum to
S= 1 in contrast to the ground state were S= 0. Magnetic moment of helion comes mainly
from the neutron particle. It means that helion g-factor is n egative and hyperfine sublevels
are inverted with respect to hydrogen, the upper one has S+I= 1/2 and the lower one
S+I= 3/2. Therefore, by a hyperfine splitting one means here Ehfs=E(1/2)−E(3/2).
According to the perturbative approach the general express ion for the hyperfine splitting up
to the order m α6is:

where r=r1−r2andr=|r|. Since H(4)contributes at order m α6of hfs, see last term in
Eq. (1), we neglect here small recoil corrections. However, the possible significance of these
corrections is discussed at the end of this work. /an}b∇acketle{tH(5)
hfs/an}b∇acket∇i}htis delta-like term with the coefficient
given by the two-photon forward scattering amplitude. It is the same like in hydrogen and

fects and inelastic contribution (nuclear polarizability )./an}b∇acketle{tH(5)
hfs/an}b∇acket∇i}hthas been considered in detail
for the case of hydrogen and muonic hydrogen. However, there are no sufficient experimental
data available for helion, He3nucleus, therefore we were unable to estimate these contrib u-
tions. Moreover, it would be incorrect to apply this correct ion for point-like nucleus, because
high energy photon momenta are involved, where nucleus, cou ld not be approximated as a
point like particle. Therefore we will leave this contribut ion unevaluated, and at the end
for the comparison with an experiment, will subtract the app ropriately scaled hydrogenic
value for hyperfine splitting The last term H(6)
hfsincludes spin dependent operators, which
contribute at order m α6. It is only this term, which derivation was not performed so f ar
in the literature and is presented here. The detailed descri ption on derivation of effective
hamiltonian, reader may find in former works, for example in [ 4]. There are four time or-
dered diagrams, which contributes to H(6)
hfsand are presented in Fig 1. The first two are the
same as in hydrogen, other two are essentially three body ter ms. One derives the following
expressions, which corresponds to these diagrams.

It is worth noting the cancellation of electron-electron te rms,/an}b∇acketle{tV3+V4/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0. Only the
electron-nucleus interaction terms remains, which are the same as in hydrogen. Matrix
3element of H(6)
hfsand last term in Eq. (1) are separately divergent for 23S1state. Therefore
we introduce the following regulator λto the electron-nucleus Coulomb interaction
Z α
ri→Z α
ri(1−e−λ m Z α r i), (15)
in all hamiltonians in Eq.(1), as well as in the nonrelativis tic one. This leads to the following

Once the interaction is regularized, one can calculate all m atrix elements and take the

where nis a principal quantum number. It agrees with that, obtained directly from the

we will transform effective operators to the regular form, wh ereλcould be taken to infinity
before the numerical calculations. The initial expression for a complete set of relativistic

In the numerical calculations of these matrix elements we fo llow the approach developed by
Korobov [5]. The Swave function is expanded in the sum of pure exponentials
φ=N/summationdisplay
i=1vi(e−αir1−βir2−γir−(r1↔r2)), (33)
with randomly chosen αi, βi, γiin some specified limits. This basis set has been proven to
give excellent results for the nonrelativistic energy and t he wave function. Moreover, its
simplicity allows for the calculations of relativistic cor rections. With basis set N= 1200 we
obtained the nonrelativistic energy (without the mass pola rization term p1p2µ/M)
E=−2.1752293782367913057(1) , (34)
slightly below the previous result in [6]. Expectation valu es of Dirac delta function without
and with the mass polarization term are correspondingly:
5/an}b∇acketle{t4π(δ3(r1) +δ3(r2))/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 33.184142630(1) , (35)
/an}b∇acketle{t4π(δ3(r1) +δ3(r2))/an}b∇acket∇i}htMP= 33.184152589(1) . (36)
The last one gives the leading hfs in helium, which is
Ehfs= 2Z α4µ3
m M|1 +k|(1 +a)/an}b∇acketle{tπ(δ3(r1) +δ3(r2))/an}b∇acket∇i}htMP≈6 740 451 kHz , (37)
where use values of physical constants from Ref. [7] with one exception [8]. Numerical
results for EXwithX=A, B, D, N are presented in Table I. The inversion of H−Ein
EAis performed in the similar basis set as for 23S1wave function, however the nonlinear
parameters had have to be properly chosen, to obtain a sufficie ntly accurate result. Namely,
if 0< X, Y, Z < 1 are independent pseudo random numbers with homogeneous di stribution,
then:
α=A2X−n+A1, (38)
β= (B2−B1)Y+B1, (39)
γ= (C2−C1)Z+C1. (40)
Parameters A, B, C andnare found, by minimization of the second order term with regu -
larized Dirac delta on both sides. The inversion of H−EinEBis performed in the basis
set of the form
φ=r1×r2N/summationdisplay
i=1vi(e−αir1−βir2−γir+ (r1↔r2)). (41)
Unfortunately, we have not been able to get a reliable number forEDwith this numerical
approach. The reason is that operators in EDare so singular, that this basis set gives a
very pure convergence. The result presented in Table I, is ob tained analytically within 1 /Z
approximation, namely we neglected completely electron-e lectron interaction and corrected
this value by factor /an}b∇acketle{tπ(δ3(r1)+δ3(r2))/an}b∇acket∇i}ht/9. The estimated uncertainty is of the order of 10%.
The total contribution of m α6term to hfs is
E(6)=|1 +k|µ3
m Mα6201.0297(5) = 2171 .930(5) kHz , (42)
what could compared to the leading Fermi contact interactio n in Eq. (37), E(6)/Ehfs≈
0.000322. Between all the contributions to He3(23S1) hyperfine splitting in Eq.(1), H(5),
essentially the nuclear structure contribution, requires input from the nuclear physics to be
reliable evaluated. This is the reason we do not present final theoretical predictions for hfs,
to compare with the precise measurement in [2]
Ehfs(He) = 6 739701 .177(16) kHz . (43)
Instead, we can compare our result indirectly by subtractin g the ground state hfs of helium
ion as measured in [9]
Ehfs(He+) = 8 665 649 .867(10) kHz , (44)
6by composing the following difference
∆Eexp=Ehfs(He)−3
4/an}b∇acketle{tπ(δ3(r1) +δ3(r2))/an}b∇acket∇i}htMP
8Ehfs(He+) =−38.998(19) kHz . (45)
In this way, nuclear structure contribution, of order m α5cancels out, as well as the leading
Fermi contact interaction. What remain are electron–elect ron correlation effects. Theoreti-
cal predictions for this difference are
∆Eth=|1 +k|µ3
m Mα61.9248(5) = 20 .796(5) kHz . (46)
We do not associate here the uncertainty due to higher order t erms. A strong disagreement
of the theoretical result in Eq. (46) with the experimental o ne in Eq. (45) indicates that
the calculations presented here are incomplete or incorrec t. The set of operators in H(6)
hfsis
the same as in hydrogen, and in fact we rederived for checking the hydrogenic result. We
have shown that there are no extra three-body terms due to int ernal cancellations. The
whole numerics was performed using multiple precision libr ary by Bailey [10] with 48 digits
to avoid possible round-off error. The higher order QED corre ctions could not explain this
discrepancy, because it would require a very large coefficien t∼ −4α/π(Z α)6ln(Z α)−2.
However the old calculations in [11] using an approximate Di rac-Hartree wave function, led
to the result which is in a much better agreement with experim ent ∆Eth,old=−32(22) kHz.
Nevertheless, we think, this result might not reliable at th e precision level of 3 %, which
is the discrepancy in question. The most probable explanati on is the correction discovered
by Sternheim [12]. It is the second order contribution due to Fermi interaction HA
hfsin Eq.
(3) with singlet Sintermediate states. It could be understood as a recoil corr ection since
it includes additional small factor m/M. The nonvanishing off–diagonal matrix element
between the singlet and triplet S-state is given by
HA
hfs→δH=Z α
3m Mσn·(σ1−σ2) [δ3(r1)−δ3(r2)] (1 + k) (1 + a), (47)
and the correction is
δE=/an}b∇acketle{tδH1
(E−H)′δH/an}b∇acket∇i}ht. (48)
One would expect the largest contribution coming from 21S0state, since it has the closest
energy. Sternheim result is δE=−66.7(3) kHz, what nicely would explain the discrepancy
of 69 kHz. However, the inclusion of higher excited states, w ill lead to the infinite result.
Moreover, this correction is partially included in /an}b∇acketle{tH(5)
hfs/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, and only after proper subtraction
it becomes finite. The complete calculation of the recoil cor rection to helium hyperfine
splitting is beyond the scope of this work. Nevertheless, it would be a surprising result that
relativistic recoil correction which has additional facto rm/M gives larger contribution than
the leading relativistic one, to the hyperfine structure diff erence between He and He+.

Abstract
Numerical simulations indicate that there exist conformat ions of the
unknot, tied on a finite piece of rope, entangled in such a mann er, that
they cannot be disentangled to the torus conformation witho ut cutting
the rope. The simplest example of such a gordian unknot is pre sented.
Knots are closed, self-avoiding curves in the 3-dimensiona l space. The shape
and size of a knot, i.e. its conformation, can be changed in a v ery broad range
without changing the knot type. The necessary condition to k eep the knot type
intact is that during all transformations applied to the kno t the curve must
remain self-avoiding. From the topological point of view, a ll conformations of
a knot are equivalent but if the knot is considered as a physic al object, it may
be not so. Let us give a simple example. Take a concrete, knott ed space curve
K. Imagine, that Kis inflated into a tube of diameter D. IfKis scaled down
without scaling down D, then there is obviously a minimum size below which
one cannot go without changing the shape of K. Diminishing, in a thought or
computer experiment, the size of a knot one arrives to the lim it below which in
some places of the knot the impenetrability of the tube on whi ch it has been
tied would be violated.
Consider a knot tied on a piece of a rope. If the knot is tied in a loose
manner, one can easily change its shape. However, the range o f transformations
available in such a process is much more narrow than in the cas e of knots tied
on an infinitely thin rope. Limitations imposed on the transf ormations used to
change the knot shape by the fixed thickness and length of the r ope may make
some conformations of the knot inaccessible from each other . The limitations
can be in an elegant manner represented by the single conditi on that the global
curvature of the knot cannot be larger than 2 /D[1]. That it is the case we
shall try to demonstrate in the most simple case of the unknot . The knot is a
particular one since we know for it the shape of the ideal, lea st rope consuming
conformation [2]. The simplest shape of the unknot is obviou sly circular. If the
knot is tied on the rope of diameter Dthe shortest piece of rope one must use to
1Figure 1: SONO disentagles an unknot entagled in a simple man ner. How the
length of the rope changes in this process is shown in Fig.2 (l ower curve).
form it has the length Lmin=πD. If one starts from the circular conformation
of the unknot tied on a longer piece of rope, the length of the r ope can be
subsequently reduced without changing the circular shape u ntil the Lminvalue
is reached.
Consider now a different, entangled conformation of the unkn ot tied on a
piece of rope having the length L > L min. Can it be disentangled to the
canonical circular shape? Are there such conformations of t he unknot, which
cannot be disentangled to a circle without elongating the ro pe? For obvious
reasons we propose to call such conformations gordian. In wh at follows we
shall report results of numerical experiments suggesting e xistence of the gordian
conformations of the unknot.
Imagine that the entangled conformation of the unknot is tie d on piece the
ideal rope of diameter Dand length L > Lmin . The ideal rope is perfectly
flexible but at the same time perfectly hard. Its perpendicul ar cross-sections
remain always circular. The diameters of all the cross-sect ions are equal D.
None of the circular cross-sections overlap. The surface of the rope is per-
fectly slippery. In such conditions one may try to force the k not to disentangle
itself just by shortening the rope length. Such a process, in which the knot
is tightened, can be easily simulated with a computer. The de tails of SONO
(Shrink-On-No-Overlaps), the simulation algorithm we dev eloped, are described
elsewhere[3]. As shown in [3], SONO disentangles some simpl e conformations
of the unknot. See Fig.1. It manages to cope also with the more complex con-
formation proposed by Freedman [4] disentangled previousl y by the Kusner and
Sullivan algorithm minimizing the M¨ obius energy [5].
The steps of the construction of the Freedman conformation, are as follows
2Figure 2: Evolution of the lenght of the rope in a process in wh ich SONO disen-
tagles the Freedman’s F(31,31) conformation of the unknot. Initially, the loose
F(31,31) conformation is rapidly tightened. Then, the evolution sl ows down.
At the end of the slow stage one of the end knots becomes untied . Subsequently,
the other of the end knots becomes untied. Eventually the con formation be-
comes disentagled and the unknot reaches its ideal, circula r shape. The lower
curve shows the evolution of the rope lenght in the much faste r process in which
the unknot shown in Fig.1 becomes disentangled.
[6]:
1. Take a circular unknot and splash it into a flat double rope b and.
2. Tie overhand knots on both ends of the band and tighten them . (From
the point of view of the knot theory, the overhand knots are op en trefoil knots.)
3. Open and slip the end loops over the bodies of the overhand k nots, so
that they meet in the central part of the band.
4. Move the rope through both overhand knots so that the loops become
smaller.
In what follows we shall refer to the conformation as F(31,31). To disentan-
gleF(31,31), one must slip the loops back all around the bodies of the ove rhand
knots, which is difficult, since the move needs first making the loops bigger.
How the SONO algorithm copes with this task is shown in Fig.2, where con-
3Figure 3: SONO tightens the F(51,51) conformation of the unknot, but does
not manage to disentangle it.
secutive stages of the disentangling process are shown. Tig htening the F(31,31)
conformation SONO algorithm brings it to the very compact st ate, which seems
at the first sight to be impossible to disentangle. The end loo ps are very tight
and they seem to be too small to slip back over the bodies of the overhand knots.
However, as the computer simulations prove, there exists a p ath in the config-
urational space of the knot along which the loops slowly beco me bigger and
one of them slips over the body of the overhand knot. Then, the disentangling
process proceeds without any problems. Results of the compu ter experiments
we performed suggest strongly, that the F(31,31) conformation is not gordian.
The construction of original Freedman entanglement may be m odified mak-
ing it more difficult to disentangle. The simplest way of doing this is to change
the end trefoil knots to some more complex knots. For the sake of brevity we
will use F(K(1), K(2)) symbols to indicate with what kind of the Freedman con-
formation of the unknot we are dealing with. Results of compu ter simulations
we performed prove that the F(41,41) conformation is also disentangled in the
knot tightening process. However, the F(51,51) conformation proves to be re-
sistant to SONO algorithm. Fig.3 shows consecutive stages o f the tightening
process. The initial conformation, is loose, it becomes tig ht soon. Then the
evolution process slows down and eventually stops. The final conformation is
proves to be stable. The gordian conformation has been reach ed.
Eperimenting with knots tied on real, macroscopic ropes or t ubes is by no
means easy [7]. First of all, the surface of any real rope is ne ver smooth and
strong friction often stops the walk within the configuratio nal space of a knot
tied on such a rope. The role of friction was exposed by Kauffma n [8]. Fric-
tion can be significantly reduced, however, when a knot is tie d on a smooth
nanoscopic filament, e.g. a nanotube, or on a thermally fluctu ating polymer
4molecule [9]. There exists another, less obvious, factor wh ich makes laboratory
experiments on knots difficult: the Berry’s phase [10], to be m ore precise, its
classical counterpart - the Hannay’s angle [11]. Modern rop es are often con-
structed in the following manner: a parallel bundle of smoot h filaments is kept
together by a tube-like, plaited cover. As easy to check, suc h ropes are much
easier to bend than to twist. Forming a knot on a rope, one has t o deform it.
In view of what was said above, the deformation applied is rat her bending than
twisting. Avoiding the twist deformations one follows the p rocedure known as
the parallel transport. As a result, when at the final stage of the knot tying
procedure the ends of the rope meet, they are in general rotat ed in relation to
each other: the misfit angle Ais the Hannay’s angle. As shown in [12] and [13],
the Hannay’s angle Astays in a simple relation,
1 +Wr= (A/2π)mod 2
with the writhe Wrof the knot into which the rope has been formed. Splicing
the ends of the rope one fixes the misfit angle A. Consequently, the writhe value
Wrbecomes fixed as well. As a result, any further changes of the c onformation
of the knot become very difficult and are basically restricted to the manifold
of constant writhe. (The specific construction of the Freedm an conformations
makes them achiral [14]. Their writhe is equal zero.)
The natural question arises, if the impossibility of disent angling the gordian
conformation does not stem from the described above frictio n and writhe factors.
We feel emphasize, that it is not the case. The rope simulated by the SONO
algorithm is perfect: it is frictionless and utterly flexibl e. It has no internal,
parallel bundle structure and it accepts any twist. Problem s with disentangling
the gordian conformations are purely steric. Tightening th eF(51,51) Freedman
conformation SONO brings it into a cul-de-sac of what mathem aticians call
thickness energy [15]. To get out of it, one needs elongate th e rope. By how
much? We do not know yet the answer to this question.

It is demonstrated that low frequency shear modes in a strong ly coupled, inhomogeneous, dusty
plasma can grow on account of an instability involving the dy namical charge fluctuations of the
dust grains. The instability is driven by the gradient of the equilibrium dust charge density and is
associated with the finite charging time of the dust grains. T he present calculations, carried out in
the generalized hydrodynamic viscoelastic formalism, als o bring out important modifications in the
threshold and growth rate of the instability due to collecti ve effects associated with coupling to the
compressional mode.

I. INTRODUCTION
Dusty plasmas are of great interest because of their possibl e applications to a number of fields of contemporary
research such as plasma astrophysics of interplanetary and interstellar matter, fusion research, plasmas used for
semiconductor etching, arc plasmas used to manufacture fine metal and ceramic powders, plasmas in simple flames
etc. [1]. It is now widely recognized that the dust component in these plasmas is often in the strongly coupled coulomb
regime with the parameter, Γ ≃(Zde)2/Tdd, typically taking values much greater than unity (( −Zde) is the charge
on the dust particle, d≃n−1/3
dis the interparticle distance and Tdis the temperature of the dust component). This
leads to many novel physical effects such as the formation of d ust plasma crystals [2], modified dispersion of the
compressional waves [3,4], the existence of the transverse shear waves [4] etc. Many of these novel features have now
been verified by experiments and computer simulations [5].
Recently, an experiment on the self–excitation of the verti cal motion of the dust particles trapped in a plasma
sheath boundary, has been reported [6]. The physics of this e xcitation is related to charging of the dust particles by
the inflow of ambient plasma currents in the inhomogeneous pl asma sheath and the delay resulting because of the
finite time required by the charging process to bring the dust charge to its ambient steady state value. In this paper,
we demonstrate that the same physical mechanism can be used f or the excitation of the transverse shear modes in
an inhomogeneous strongly coupled dusty plasma. Using a gen eralized hydrodynamic viscoelastic formalism [7] to
describe the strongly coupled dusty plasma and incorporati ng the novel feature of time variation of the dust charge
through a charge dynamics equation [8], we have derived a gen eral dispersion relation for low frequency shear and
compressional modes in the plasma. We find that in a plasma wit h finite gradients of the equilibrium dust charge
density, the two modes are coupled and we show that the shear m ode is driven unstable if certain threshold values
are exceeded.
Our paper is organized as follows. In the next section we brie fly discuss the equilibrium of an inhomogeneous dusty
plasma that is confined against gravity by the electric field o f a plasma sheath. In such a configuration dust particles
of varying sizes and charges arrange themselves in horizont al layers at different heights to form a nonuniform cloud
[9,10]. In section 3 we carry out a linear stability analysis of such an equilibrium in the framework of the generalized
hydrodynamic equations. The dispersion relation of the cou pled shear wave and compression wave is solved analyt-
ically (in simple limits) as well as numerically in section 4 . The physical mechanism of the shear wave instability is
also discussed and the modifications in the threshold and gro wth rate brought about by the coupling to compressive
waves are elucidated. Section 5 is devoted to a summary and di scussion of the principal results.

1II. DUST CLOUD EQUILIBRIUM
We consider an inhomogeneous sheath equilibrium in which th e dust particles are suspended with electric field
forces balancing the gravitational force on the particle an d in which the dust charge ( −Zde) and dust size rdare both
functions of the vertical distance z. Then the force balance equation gives,
Zd(z)eE0(z) =4
3πrd(z)3ρg, (1)
where, ρ,g,E0refer respectively to the dust mass density, gravitational acceleration and the sheath electric
field. For particle sizes of the order of a few microns, other f orces acting on the particle (such as the drag and viscous
forces) are about an order of magnitude smaller than the elec tric and gravitational forces and can be neglected for
the equilibrium calculation [10]. Note that for dust partic les of a uniform size (monodispersive size distribution) th e
above equilibrium can only be attained at one vertical point leading to a monolayer of dust. A dispersion in sizes leads
to a large number of layers resulting in a nonuniform dust clo ud with a gradient in the equilibrium charge ( −Zde)
and the dust size rd. The electric field E0is determined by the sheath condition,
dE0
dz=−4πe(ne−ni+Zdnd) (2)
where ne,i,d are the local electron, ion and dust densities respectively . The charge ( −Zde) on a dust particle in
the sheath region is given by ( −Zde) =Cd(φf−φ) where Cdis the capacitance, φfis the floating potential at the
surface of the dust particle and φis the bulk plasma potential. For a spherical dust particle Cd=rd, and the floating
potential can be determined by the steady state condition fr om the dust charging equation, namely, [8]
Ie+Ii= 0 (3)

HereTeandTiare the electron and ion temperatures, miis the ion mass and vidis the mean drifting velocity of the
ions in the electric field of the sheath (it is assumed to be the ion sound velocity at the sheath edge). We also assume
that the dust particles have much smaller thermal velocitie s than the electrons and ions.
Equations (1 - 3) selfconsistently determine the equilibri um of the dust cloud. Such clouds have been experimentally
observed in a number of experiments [9,10]. In [10] theoreti cal modeling along the lines discussed above, agree very
well with the experimental observations of clouds formed wi th polydispersive particle size distribution of dust parti cles
trapped in the plasma sheath region. A typical equilibrium v ariation of the dust particle size with the vertical distanc e,
when the Child Langmuir law holds for the plasma sheath poten tial, is given as [10],

where ns,Csare the plasma density and the ion sound velocity, δis the thickness of the sheath and
µi= (eλi−n/mi)1/2withλi−nrepresenting the mean free path of ions colliding with the ba ckground neutrals. Using
(5) we can obtain the corresponding zvariation for Zd.
As discussed in detail in [10], this dust cloud equilibrium i s confined to the plasma sheath boundary region in the
potential well created from the upward electrostatic and do wnward gravitational forces. Note that the force balance
equation (1) does not prevent the particles from oscillatin g about their mean positions especially if they have signifi-
cant kinetic energy or temperature. However their mean posi tions are at various vertical distances and the mean Zd
is a function of z. This is reminiscent of particle gyrations in a magnetic fiel d. If we consider wave motions in which
dust oscillation excursions are much smaller than waveleng ths, we can use a fluid theory to analyze such behaviour.
In the next section, we adopt this view point and carry out a li near stability analysis of the equilibrium discussed
above to low frequency wave perturbations.
2III. LINEAR STABILITY ANALYSIS
For low frequency perturbations in the regime kvthd<< ω << kv the, kvthi, where vthd,vtheandvthiare the
thermal velocities of the dust, electron and ion components respectively, the electron and ion responses obey the
Boltzmann law which can be simply obtained from an ordinary h ydrodynamic representation. The dust component
on the other hand can be in the strongly coupled regime for whi ch a proper description is provided by the generalized
viscoelastic formalism. Using such a description a general dispersion relation for low frequency waves (with typical
wavelengths longer than any lattice spacings) was obtained in [4] for longitudinal sound waves and transverse shear
waves. The shear modes exist in a strongly coupled dusty plas ma because of elasticity effects introduced by strong
correlations [4]. Our objective in this work is to look for th e effect of dust charge dynamics on these shear modes in
the strongly coupled regime. As demonstrated in our earlier work [4], the coupling of the low frequency shear modes
to transverse electromagnetic perturbations is finite but n egligibly small; we ignore this coupling here. However,
introduction of the dust charge dynamics in the inhomogeneo us plasma leads to a coupling of the low frequency shear
and compressional modes; thus the space charge dynamics and quasineutrality condition play an important role in
describing the perturbations. The basic equations for the d ust fluid [7] we work with, are the continuity equation,

refer to the coefficients of the shear and bulk viscosities and τmis the viscoelastic relaxation time. Note that in the
continuity equation we have a contribution from the equilib rium inhomogeneity in the dust mass distribution (arising
from the size dispersion of the particles). This term as we sh all see later modifies the real frequency of the shear
waves.
These equations are supplemented with the dynamical equati on for the dust charge perturbations which, for per-
turbations with phase velocity much smaller than the electr on and ion thermal velocities, is given as [8]

is the inverse of charging time of dust grains and w0=Ti−e(φf−φ)0. Note
that the second term on the left hand side of eq.(10) arises be cause of the inhomogeneity of the mean charge on
the dust particles; as shall be shown later, this is the criti cal term responsible for the instability. It is also obvious
that the dust charge variation in space will lead to shieldin g by electrons and ions with the associated coupling
of the perturbation to dust compressional modes. We must thu s extend the above set of equations to include the
quasi-neutrality condition,
δne+Zdδnd+nd0δZd−δni≃0, (11)

These are the Boltzmann relations which arise whenever the p erturbations satisfy ω << kv the, kvthi.
We shall next derive the dispersion relation for the low freq uency mode. We may note that the typical time scale
for the decay of the charge fluctuations for the dust can be ver y small [6], with ηc>> ω and we shall work in that
limit. We use the local approximation (wave lengths smaller than characteristic equilibrium scale lengths) and choose
the propagation vector for the wave perturbation as /vectork= (k,0,0), the perturbed dust velocity, /vectorδud= (δu1,0, δu3) and
the perturbation in the electric field as /vectorδE=−ikδφ(1,0,0). Using the continuity equation (6) and the equations (10)

the two branches. We will now study the behaviour of the shear mode in the presence of the charge inhomogeneity
and the coupling to the compressive mode.
4IV. SHEAR WAVE INSTABILITY
In the limit when the coupling to the compressive wave is weak , so that the last two terms in the dispersion relation
(16) can be neglected, we can obtain the roots for the shear br anch as,

In the absence of the inhomogeneities and the collision term , this is the basic shear wave described in [4]. The
collisional term introduces wave damping. The inhomogeneo us terms introduce two important modifications. The
term proportional to the mass (size) inhomogeneity contrib utes to the real part of the frequency whereas the charge
inhomogeneity term can drive the wave unstable if E0a2<0 (i.e., E0Q′
0<0) and the threshold condition ν <|eE0

is satisfied. Physically, this instability arises because o f delayed charging effect, the same physical mechanism which
was used by Nunomura et al[6] to explain the observed instability of single particle v ertical displacement in their
sheath experiments. Specifically, the charge on the vertica lly oscillating dust particle in the shear wave propagating
in the inhomogeneous plasma, is always different from the equ ilibrium value Zdbecause of the finite charging time

the ambient electric field at a rate δZdE0δu∗

the loss rate due to collisions ≈νM

described above. If we express the dust neutral collision fr equency, νin terms of the ambient neutral pressure as

M, our threshold condition is functionally identical to that derived by Nunomura et al[6] on the basis
of physical arguments. The only substantial difference is th eir use of exponential charging time which follows from
our equation (10) viz. δZd≈(δu3Z′
d/ηc)[1−exp(−ηct)]; since we have assumed the frequency of the shear mode
ω << η c, we use the asymptotic condition described above.
We now demonstrate that for the collective shear mode being d escribed here, the coupling to the compressional
dust acoustic wave due to the last two terms in equation (16) i s very crucial; thus the above single particle results are
strongly modified by the hydrodynamic treatment. A simple an alytic result clearly demonstrating the modification is
obtained by neglecting ω2+iωνcompared to k2C2

the wave–vector kis not too small. In this limit, the shear modes are described by the root

We thus note that the threshold condition and the growth rate s are significantly modified by the inclusion of coupling
to compressional waves. In order to quantitatively illustr ate the effect of coupling terms, we now present a detailed
numerical investigation of the dispersion relation equati on (16). It is generally the case that the bulk viscosity
coefficient ζis negligible compared to the shear viscosity coefficient, η, particularly in the one component plasma
(OCP) limit [7] and so we shall drop it in our calculations. Fu rther, the viscoelastic relaxation time, τm, is given as

Equation (21) has been solved numerically for the shear mode roots and some typical results are presented in figures
(1) and (2). Figures (1a) and (1b) display a comparison of the dispersion curve for the shear mode (ˆ ωRvsˆkand ˆγvsˆk
for fixed values of e0=−0.0008 and e1=−0.05), with and without the inclusion of the coupling to the com pressional

plasmas [9,10]. It is seen from these plots that there is a sub stantial influence of the compressional mode coupling,
described through the parameter, e01, e11, on the growth rate and the real frequency of the shear wave em phasizing
the importance of the collective physics of coupling to the c ompressional mode. We next plot in figure (2) the gas
pressure, p, versus ne0profiles for various values of γ, the imaginary part of ω. Plotting the γ= 0 curve, we get a
threshold relation between pandne0, where we fix the other parameters as follows – dust radius, rd=2.5 microns, the
inter–grain distance, d=430 microns, Te=Ti≃1eV,kd= 1, and dust mass density, ρd=2.5 gms/cm3. We see that
the qualitative trend of the curve is similar to that observe d in the single particle instability studies of [6] illustra ting
the commonality of the underlying physical mechanism. Howe ver it should be emphasized that the experiment in
[6] did not observe any collective excitations and their equ ilibrium consisted of a monolayer of equal sized particles.
The equilibria of [9,10] are more appropriate for observing collective excitations of shear waves and our theoretical
results can be usefully employed in such a situation. In Fig. (2) we have once again highlighted the significance of
the coupling to the compressive wave, in this case for its effe ct on the threshold values, by displaying the uncoupled
threshold and growth rate curves (dashed curves). Note that the influence of the coupling is to raise the threshold
value at low values of ne0(i.e. a higher value of pis needed to excite the instability) whereas it reduces the t hreshold
at the higher end of the ne0scale. The rest of the curves displayed in the figure (2) corre spond to the various positive
values of γ, which correspond to the situation where the shear mode is ex cited and saturates at some values. These
figures are again qualitatively similar to the curves obtain ed in [6] for various saturation amplitudes. However a direc t
comparison is again not appropriate for the reason discusse d above and also because our calculations are linear and
cannot provide any quantitative results about nonlinearly saturated amplitudes.
V. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION
To summarize, in this paper we have investigated the stabili ty of a low frequency shear mode in an inhomogeneous
dusty plasma in the strongly correlated regime. The equilib rium dust cloud has both an inhomogeneity in the dust
charge distribution and in the dust mass distribution (aris ing from a distribution in the sizes of the dust particles).
The shear mode in such a plasma undergoes two significant modi fications. Its real frequency is shifted by a contri-
bution from the mass inhomogeneity and the dust charge inhom ogeneity can drive it unstable through the dynamics
of dust charge fluctuations in a manner very similar to the ins tability of the vertical motion of single particles in
a plasma sheath as observed in the recent experiment of Nunom uraet al[6]. The finite charging time, η−1
cof the
dust particles plays a critical role in the instability. We a lso show how collective effects due to coupling with the
compressional modes strongly modify the threshold conditi ons for the instability as well as its growth rate and real
frequency. Our calculations have been carried out in the hyd rodynamic formalism including viscoelastic effects and we
have neglected any kinetic effects. Our results are therefor e strictly valid in the low frequency limit. Finite correcti ons
arising from kinetic effects can occur at higher frequencies and wave numbers. This has recently been demonstrated
for the compressive dust acoustic mode in a dusty plasma from a kinetic calculation based on the dynamic local field
correction (DLFC) method [12]. Such corrections, if any, fo r the transverse shear mode has not yet been done and
needs to be examined.
Finally we would like to remark that the transverse dust shea r mode which is a collective mode of the strongly
coupled plasma regime has only been observed in computer sim ulations till now; its detailed experimental investigatio n
is therefore of great current interest. Such waves can be exc ited in inhomogeneous dust clouds that have been obtained
in the experiments carried out with varying grain sizes [9,1 0]. It would be of interest therefore to look for the wave
features discussed in our model calculations in controlled propagation experiments on such equilibria. It is also
apparent that free energy sources, such as ion beams, which m ay readily couple with the compressional waves may also
6be useful for exciting the more interesting shear waves in th e strongly coupled inhomogeneous plasma. Investigation
of these and related effects are in progress.

Abstract
We study the performance of the triple-GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) detector
in pure noble gases Ne, Ar and Xe, at different pressures varying from 1 to 10atm. In Ar and Xe, the maximum attainable gain of the detector abruptly dropsdown for pressures exceeding 3 atm. In contrast, the maximum gain in Ne wasfound to increase with pressure, reaching a value of 10
5 at 7 atm. The results
obtained are of particular interest for developing noble gas-based cryogenicparticle detectors for solar neutrino and dark matter search.

Email: buzulu@inp.nsk.su2This study is motivated by the growing interest in developing cryogenic
double-phase particle detectors for solar neutrino and dark matter search [1,2]. Insuch detectors, the ionization produced in a noble liquid by a neutrino or weakly
ionizing particle interaction, in Ne or Xe correspondingly, is extracted from the
liquid to a gas phase, where it is detected with the help of the gas multiplier.
In traditional gaseous detectors, namely in the multi-wire proportional and
parallel-plate avalanche chambers, the maximum gain obtained in pure noblegases is by far too low due to photon- and ion-mediated secondary processes. Themulti-GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier [3]) multiplier could provide a solution: ithas been recently shown that the triple- and quadruple-GEM structures caneffectively operate in pure Ar and its mixtures with Ne and Xe, reaching ratherhigh gains, up to 10
5 , at atmospheric pressure [4].
Another problem is that the density of noble gases near the boiling point, at
normal pressure, is higher compared to that at room temperature. For example, inNe, Ar and Xe the density difference is as large as a factor of 10.5, 2.8 and 1.6,correspondingly [5]. This means, that the operation of gas detectors at lowtemperature and atmospheric pressure can be equivalent to that at high pressureand room temperature. On the other hand, it was shown that the maximum GEMgain rapidly decreases with pressure in Ar/CO
2 and Xe/CO 2 [6].
In this paper we report on the performance of a triple-GEM detector in pure
noble gases at high pressures, varying from 1 to 10 atm. The noble gases
investigated are Ne, Ar and Xe. We show that the gain dependence on pressure is
strongly affected by the gas nature.
The experimental setup is shown in Fig.1. 3 GEM foils (50 µm thick kapton,
80 µm diameter and 140 µm pitch holes, 28×28 mm2 active area) and a printed
curcuit board (PCB), mounted in cascade with 1.6 mm gaps, were installed within
a stainless steel vessel. The vessel was filled with Ne, Ar or Xe at a certainpressure. The noble gases purity was 99.99%. The detector was irradiated with anX-ray tube through an Al window.
The GEM and PCB electrodes were connected to a resistive high-voltage
divider, as shown in Fig.1. The divider was optimized in such a way as to3maximize the gain in Ar at 1 atm and at the same time to prevent the parallel-
plate amplification mode in inter-GEM (transfer) and GEM-PCB (induction) gaps.In particular, the voltage drops across GEMs were not equal and increased fromthe first to last GEM, similar to that used in [4]. Typical electric fields in the
transfer and induction gaps, at 1 atm, were below 1.2, 3.0 and 2.8 kV/cm in Ne,
Ar and Xe correspondingly. The same divider was used in the measurements withother pressures and gases. It should be remarked, however, that the optimizeddivider for them might be different.
The anode signal was readout from the PCB either in a current or pulse-
counting mode. The anode current value was always kept below 100 nA, using X-ray attenuation filters, to prevent charging-up effects. The ratio of the anodecurrent to the current recorded in the drift gap provides the gain value. Themaximum attainable gain was defined as that at which neither dark currents nor
anode current instabilities (discharges) were observed for at least about 1 min.
Fig.2 shows the gain-voltage characteristics of the triple-GEM detector in Ar,
at different pressures. One can see that there are two types of the gaindependence on pressure. Below 3 atm, the maximum gain weakly depends onpressure, varying from 4×10
4 to 105 . In this pressure range it was limited by the
onset of the dark current, of the order of few hundreds nA, most probably arisendue to the ion feedback between GEM elements [4]. At higher pressures, themaximum gain rapidly dropped down to below 10 at 7 atm. Here the limitation onthe maximum gain was imposed by GEM discharges.
In Xe, the pressure dependence of the maximum gain also consisted of two
parts: a slow decrease below 2 atm and very fast drop at higher pressures (Fig.3).On the other hand, the maximum operation gain was lower: it did not exceed 10
4.
The maximum gain in Xe was limited by discharges in the whole pressure range.In addition, among other gases studied Xe was found to be the worst in terms ofthe discharge detrimental effect: at least in two cases all 3 GEMs werecompletely destroyed after few discharges when operated in Xe, while in Ne andAr even hundreds discharges did not result in noticeable degradation of thetriple-GEM structure.4It is interesting, that the maximum gain (discharge) boundary in Ar and Xe at
higher pressures looks like a barrier in the voltage drop across a GEM, of about700 V, which cannot be overcome. This is probably related to the properties ofthe discharge mechanism in given gases.
Neon showed quite different behavior compared to Ar and Xe (see Fig.4).
Unlike Ar and Xe, the maximum gain in Ne turned out to be a growing functionof the pressure: it increased from 10
3 at 1 atm to above 105 a t 7 a t m . T h e
limitation on the maximum gain in Ne was imposed by discharges. Note that theoperation voltages in Ne are considerably lower compared to those in Ar and Xe.Another interesting observation is that the gain-voltage characteristics in Nealmost do not change with pressure, for above 5 atm, in contrast to Ar and Xe.This is unusual for traditional gaseous devices, for which one would ratherexpect the E/p behavior of the detector characteristics. The detector performance
in Ne was studied in a pulse-counting mode as well, using a charge-sensitive
amplifier: the data were in coherence with those obtained in the current mode.
We do not aware at the moment of any consistent explanation of GEM behavior
at high pressures. We can only speculate that the violation of E/p scaling in Necould indicate on the existence of some geometrical factors governing the gasamplification mechanism at high pressures, similar to that of the avalancheconfinement in GEM holes considered in [8]. We also believe that the rather lowcross-section of electron-atomic collisions in Ne, as compared to other gases [7],may play an important role.
In conclusion, we have studied for the first time the high-pressure operation of
a triple-GEM detector in pure Ne, Ar and Xe. Neon showed quite differentpressure dependence of the maximum gain as compared to Ar and Xe: in Ar andXe the maximum gain drastically drops down for pressures exceeding 3 atm,while in Ne it increases with pressure up to 7 atm. In all the gases studied thereexist an optimal pressure at which the triple-GEM detector has the maximumgain: 10
4 at 1 atm, 105 at 3 atm and 105 at 7 atm in Xe, Ar and Ne
correspondingly. One can see that the optimal pressures are close to thosecorresponding to appropriate gas densities near the boiling points. This means
that the triple-GEM detector, in terms of gain characteristics, is a good candidate5for the proposed cryogenic double-phase particle detectors. At the same time, the
gas amplification mechanism in GEM at high pressures is still unclear. Furtherinvestigations are required.

It is known that ultrasound techniques yield non-intrusive measurements of hydrodynamic flows.
For example, the study of the echoes produced by a large numbe r of particles insonified by pulsed
wavetrains has led to a now standard velocimetry technique. In this paper, we propose to extend
the method to the continuous tracking of one single particle embedded in a complex flow. This gives
a Lagrangian measurement of the fluid motion, which is of impo rtance in mixing and turbulence
studies. The method relies on the ability to resolve in time t he Doppler shift of the sound scattered
by the continuously insonified particle.
For this signal processing problem two classes of approache s are used: time-frequency analysis and
parametric high resolution methods. In the first class we con sider the spectrogram and reassigned
spectrogram, and we apply it to detect the motion of a small be ad settling in a fluid at rest. In more
non-stationary turbulent flows where methods in the second c lass are more robust, we have adapted
an Approximated Maximum Likelihood technique coupled with a generalized Kalman filter.

I. INTRODUCTION
In several areas of fluid dynamics research, it is desirable t o study the motion individual fluid particles in a flow,
i.e. the Lagrangian dynamics of the flow. The properties of th is motion governs the physics of mixing, the behavior of
binary flows and the Eulerian complexity of chaotic and turbu lent flows. Lagrangian studies are possible in numerical
experiments where chaotic1and turbulent2,3,4,5flows have been studied. For turbulence, the numerical studi es are
limited to small Reynolds number flows whose evolution is onl y followed during a few large-eddy turnover times. In
addition only the small scales properties of homogeneous tu rbulence are captured; the influence of inhomogeneities
(such as large scale coherent structures) are not taken into account. It does not seem possible at the moment to extend
high resolution turbulent DNS computations to long periods of time or to high Reynolds number flows. Experimental
studies are thus needed. They differ from the numerical studi es because one cannot tag and follow individual fluid
particles; most techniques aim at recording the motion of solidparticles carried by the flow motion. The degree
of fidelity with which solid particles can act as Lagrangian t racers is an open problem; it depends on the size and
density of the particle. While the interaction between the p article and its wake can be important for large particles or
particles with a large density difference with the surroundi ng fluid6,7,8, it is generally admitted that density matched
particles with a size smaller that the Kolmogorov length fol low the fluid. Measurements of small particle motion have
been made, using optical techniques that follow individual particle motion over short times/distances9,10. We propose
here an acoustic technique that can resolve an individual pa rticle motion over long periods of time (compared with
the characteristic time of flow forcing).
The principle of the technique is to monitor the Doppler shif t of the sound scattered by a particle which is con-
tinuously insonified. This is an extension of the pulsed Doppler method that has been developed to measure velocity
profiles and that has many applications in fluid mechanics and medicine11. The main advantage of the continuous
insonification is to improve the time resolution of the measu rement, although it is limited to the tracking of a very
small number of particles (the tests reported here are made w ith only one particle in the flow). The measurement
relies on the ability to track a Doppler frequency and its var iation in time. For this signal processing problem two
classes of approaches have been developed: (i) time-freque ncy analysis and (ii) high resolution parametric spectral
analysis. Time frequency methods mainly rely upon the quadr atic Wigner-Ville transform, or smoothed versions of it.
Numerous studies and papers have recently been published, i n which the theoretical issues are presented (see e.g. the
textbooks by Flandrin12or Cohen13). These non parametric techniques are convenient and well- suited for weakly non-
stationary signals with a good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) . However, time frequency representations present numerou s2

drawbacks when it comes to extract trajectory information. Their quadratic nature give rise to numerous spurious
interference terms that require post processing. For signa ls with a faster frequency modulation and a low SNR, we
show here that an optimized parametric approach is a better c hoice. Parametric high resolution spectral analysis
methods take advantage of an a priori knowledge of the spectr al content of the recorded signal, namely the emitted
signal frequency plus one or many doppler-shifted echoes. F urthermore, a time-recursive frame for the estimation of
the Doppler shift is proposed here, where the evolution of th e frequency is taken into account in the algorithm.
The two methods are tested in two experiments, in which the ac oustic signals have different time scales and noise
levels. The first experiment is a study of the transient accel eration of a heavy sphere settling under gravity in a fluid
at rest. In this case the characteristic time scale of veloci ty variations is slow ( τ∼50 ms) and the signal to noise ratio
is fair (about 20 dB); we show that a technique of reassignmen t of the spectrogram gives good results. The second
experiments deals with the motion of a neutrally buoyant sph ere embedded in a turbulent flow. In this case, velocity
variations occur over times of about 1 ms and the signal to noi se ratio is low (less than 6 dB). We show that the AML
parametric method yields very good results in that situatio n.
The paper is organized as follows: in section II we present th e acoustic technique and measurement procedure. In
section III we describe the signal processing techniques, w ith a particular emphasis on the AML method which has
been developed and optimized to this particle tracking prob lem. Examples of applications to measurements in real
flows are given in section IV.
II. ACOUSTICAL SET-UP
A. Principle of the measurement
In the experimental technique proposed here, a particle is c ontinuously insonified. It scatters a sound wave whose
frequency is shifted from the incoming sound frequency due t o the Doppler effect. This Doppler shift is directly
related to the particle velocity vp:
∆ω=q·vp, (1)
where qis the scattering wavevector (the difference between the inc ident and scattered wavevectors q=kscat−kinc)
andωis the wave pulsation.
We choose a backscattering geometry (see figure 1) so that q=−2kincand the frequency shift becomes
∆ω(t) =−2v(t)
cω0, (2)
where cis the speed of sound, ω0is the incident pulsation, and v(t) is the component of the velocity on the incident
direction at time t. We continuously insonify the moving particle and record th e scattered sound. If need be, the
particle position can be obtained by numerical integration of the velocity signal.3

B. Transducers characteristics and acquisition
We use a Vermon array of ultrasonic transducers made of indiv idual elements of size 2 ×2 mm each, separated by
100µm. Their resonant frequency is about 3.2 MHz and their bandwi dth at -3 dB is 1.5 MHz. Sound emission is
set at 3 MHz or 3.5 MHz; experiments are performed in water so t hat the wavelength is λ=0.50 mm or 0.43 mm.
The corresponding emission cone for each d= 2 mm square element is 29◦at 3 MHZ and 24◦at 3.5 MHz. In our
measurements, the particle to transducer distance lies bet ween 5 cm and 40 cm, so that measurements are made in
the far field ( d2/λ > 10 mm). Given maximum flow and particle velocities of the orde r of 1.5 m.s−1, we expect a
maximum sound frequency shift of the order of 5 kHz or 6 kHz, de pending on whether the emission is at 3 MHz or
3.5 MHz. This yields a frequency modulation rate of at most 0. 25%. One element of the transducer array is used for
continuous sound emission and another for scattered sound d etection. As the operation is continuous (as opposed to
pulsed) and the elements are located close to one-another, w e observe a coupling between the emitter and the receiver
of the order of 60 dB (this is due both to electromagnetic and a coustic surface waves cross-talk).
The sound scattered by the moving particle is detected by a pi ezoelectric transducer. Upon connection to a 50 Ω
impedance, it yields an electrical signal of about 2 to 30 µV. In comparison, the noise is 1 µV and the electromagnetic
coupling with the emitter is 8 mV. Hence the signal to noise ra tio is between 0 dB and 30 dB. The transducer output
is sampled at 10 MHz over a 21 bit dynamical range (input range 31.25 mV) and numerically heterodyned at the
emitting frequency. Then it is decimated at the final samplin g frequency of 19531 Hz. The acquisition device is a
HP-e1430A VXI digitizer.
C. Scattering by an elastic sphere
The study of sound scattered by a fixed solid sphere is a classi c but continuing area of study and difficulties
arise in the interpretation of observed phenomena especial ly when trying to deal with elasticity and absorption14,15,16.4
Complex behaviour is observed linked with resonances of Ray leigh waves at the surface of the sphere. As a consequence
the scattered pressure distribution varies both in directi vity and amplitude. A generic expression for the far field
pressure is the following :
pscat(r, θ) =pincaf(ka, θ)

where ris the distance from the center of the sphere, aits radius, pincthe incident pressure on the sphere, kthe

properties of the solid medium. Under very general assumpti ons,fcan be developed as a series of partial waves:

ka. In our experiments we used spheres of different material (po lypropylene PP, steel, tungsten carbide, glass) with
corresponding kabetween 7 and 15. The flow acts on the sphere motion, thus causi ng its acceleration and, eventually,
its rotation. These effects may change the radiation diagram : first there is Doppler shift for the sound received by
the sphere, and, perhaps more importantly, the sphere rotat ion may change the Rayleigh emission. For these reasons,
the evolution of the amplitude of the scattered sound during the particle motion is quite complex. However, the
observed amplitude modulation (see figures 2 and 8) varies sl owly enough to allow a correct estimate of the frequency
modulation of the scattered sound.
III. SIGNAL PROCESSING
Numerous spectral estimation techniques are based on the id eas behind Fourier analysis of linear time invariant (LTI)
differential equations. These techniques may be divided int o (i) non-parametric techniques where the basis functions
are implicitly the harmonically related complex exponenti als of Fourier analysis and (ii) parametric techniques whos e
task is the estimation of the parameters of a (sub)set of comp lex exponentials. The spectrogram and the reassigned
spectrogram belong the former category, whereas the maximu m likelihood and its approximate form belong to the
latter.
A. Time-Frequency analysis
The most common time frequency distribution (TFD), the spec trogram, involves a moving time window. This
window attempts to capture a portion of the signal which is su fficiently restricted in time so that stationarity and
LTI assumptions are approximately met. To overcome the inhe rently poor localization in the time-frequency plane, a
method has been proposed by Gendrin et al.17, and extended more recently by Auger and Flandrin12,18. The idea is
to locally reassign the energy distribution to the local cen ter of gravity of the Fourier transform. Despite its ability to
exhibit clear and well localized trajectories in the time-f requency plane, this technique requires an additional imag e
processing step to extract the TF trajectory. For rapidly flu ctuating frequency modulations and/or low SNR spurious
clusters appear which makes this extraction difficult. The pa rametric method presented below is more robust.
B. AML spectral estimation
This approach is largely based upon maximum likelihood spec tral estimation (see e.g. Kay19). The fundamentals
are briefly recalled, as they serve as a basis for the approxim ate likelihood scheme, originally developed by Clergeot
and Tressens20. This work is extended here within a recursive estimation fr ame, thus allowing to track the variations
of the Doppler frequency shift induced by fast velocity chan ges of a scattering sphere imbedded in a turbulent flow.
Michel and Clergeot have developed a similar approach for no n stationary spectral analysis in an array processing
frame21,22.5
1. Introduction
In this section, we address the problem of estimating the fre quencies f1, . . ., f MofMharmonic signals embedded
in noise, from a small number of samples
x(t) =M/summationdisplay
m=1am(t)exp(j(2πfmt+φm) +n(t). (5)
As the number of sampling points that are supposed to be avail able is low, classical Fourier based approaches fail
to provide good results. We focus our attention on parametri c approach, where an a priori knowledge about the
structure of the signal is taken into account to improve the a nalysis.
The following assumptions are made:
•The time series is regularly sampled with time period Ts, so as to insure1
Ts>fmax
2where fmaxstands for the
bandwidth of the anti-aliasing filter used in the recording p rocess. For convenience, Tswill be set to Ts= 1 and
the term frequency will refer to normalized frequency (i.e. the actual frequency, divided by Fs=1
Ts.
•The amplitudes ai(t) are deterministic but unknown.
•The noise is a complex white gaussian circular and iid (indep endent increment identically distributed) with
(unknown) variance σ2; the distribution function of a k-dimensional vector /vectorNdefined by
/vectorN(t) = [n(t), n(t+ 1), n(t+ 2), . . ., n (t+ (K−1))]T(6)
reads
p(/vectorN) =1
(√
2πσ)Kexp/parenleftigg
|/vectorN|2
2σ2/parenrightigg
. (7)
Furthermore, the noise and the signal are independent.
•The term observation refers to a set of Q K-dimensional vectors constructed from the sampled time ser ies,
according to
/vectorX(tj) = [x(tj), x(tj+ 1), x(tj+ 2), . . . , x (tj+ (K−1))]Tj= 1, . . ., Q (8)
•The frequency fis supposed to remain constant during an observation.
Under the assumption that the noise process is iid, and that t he observed vectors are corrupted by independent reali-
sations of the noise process, the likelihood of the observat ion is given by the product of the likelihood of each vector. L et
Pbe the set of searched parameters ( Pcontains σ2,F={f1, . . . , f M}and the /vectorA= [a1exp(jφ1), . . . , a Mexp(jφM]T),
the loglikelihood of an observation is simply given by

According to the maximum likelihood principle, the set Pof parameters must be chosen in order to maximize
expression (9).6
2. Reduced expression
Minimizing (9) jointly for all the parameters is usually unt ractable. Most authors propose a separate maximisation
for each of the parameters. For our application, the spectra l components (i.e. /vectorAand/vectorF) are the relevant variables.
We first maximize with respect to /vectorAand derive an expression for the optimal /vectorF;σ2is estimated independently.
The value of vector /vectorAwhich minimizes the norm |/vectorX(q)−S(/vectorF)/vectorA(q)|2is easily obtained :
/vectorA(q) = (S+S)−1S+(/vectorF)/vectorX(q). (11)
Note that the “signal only” vector /vectorY=/vectorX−/vectorNappears to be the orthogonal projection of /vectorXon the signal subspace
spanned by the row vectors of S:
/vectorY=S(/vectorF)./vectorA(q) =S((S+S)−1S+(/vectorF)/vectorX= Π s(/vectorF)/vectorX , (12)
where Π s(/vectorF) stands for the parametric projector on the signal subspace27. Let Π n(/vectorF) =I−Πs(/vectorF) be the noise
subspace, Iis the identity matrix. By substituting (12) and using the de finition of Π n(/vectorF) in the expression of the
log-likelihood (9), one gets the following simplified expre ssion to minimise
L(/vectorF) =1
σ2Q/summationdisplay
q=1|Πn(/vectorF)/vectorX|2. (13)
Using the properties of the trace operator (hereafter denot ed Tr) and those of the projection matrix Π n(/vectorF), the
maximum likelihood estimation of /vectorFtakes the common form : minimize
L(/vectorF) =Q
σ2Tr/bracketleftig
Πn(/vectorF)ˆRx/bracketrightig
, (14)
where ˆRxis an estimate of the correlation matrix Rxof the vector process /vectorX(q). Minimizing L(/vectorF) in (14) leads to the
exact value /vectorFMLwhich has the maximum likelihood. It is important here to emp hasize the following : if the vectors
/vectorXare obtained by time-shift over the recorded time series, an observation runs over K+Q−1 samples, i.e. the actual
duration of one observation is Tobs= (Q+K−2)Ts. In this case, the observed vectors may not be considered as b eing
corrupted by independent realisations of the noise process , as some ’time integration’ is performed in the estimation o f
Rx. The consequences and interest of such smoothing have been s tudied by Clergeot and Tressens20, and Ouamri23,
in the frame of array processing (in this context, ’time inte gration’ becomes ’spatial smoothing’). In the remainder
of this paper, the development are based on equation (14), no matter how Rxis estimated; see appendix for the
practical implementation.
3. Approximate Max-likelihood
Equation (14) is still too complicated to be solved analytic ally in a simple way. A minimization can be easily
performed if L(/vectorF) has a quadratic dependance in S20. LetRybe the correlation matrix of the signal vectors /vectorY(q),
the assumption that signal and noise are independent allow t o establish the following equalities
ˆRx=Ry+ ˆσ2I, (15)
Ry=SPS+, (16)
P=E[/vectorA/vectorA+], (17)
where Estands for the mathematical expectation. Substituting in e quation (14) leads to:
L(/vectorF) =Q
ˆσ2Tr/bracketleftig
Πn(/vectorF)SˆPS+/bracketrightig
. (18)
Clergeot and Tressens20propose a second order approximation of L(/vectorF):
LAML(/vectorF) =Q
ˆσ2Tr/bracketleftig
ˆΠnS(/vectorF)ˆPS+(/vectorF)/bracketrightig
, (19)7
in which ˆΠnis estimated by computing the projector spanned by the ( K−N) smallest eigenvalues of the estimated
covariance matrix ˆRx. They prove that this approach leads to more reliable estima tes of /vectorFat low signal to noise ratio
(SNR), and that the minimization of LAMLis asymptotically efficient. In practice, the following set o f equations is
used
ˆσ2=1
K−MTr(ˆΠnˆRx), (20)
Πs(/vectorF) =S(/vectorF)(S+(/vectorF).S(/vectorF))−1.S+(/vectorF), (21)
S(/vectorF).ˆP.S+(/vectorF) = Π s(/vectorF)(ˆRx−σ2I).Πs(/vectorF). (22)
The approximately quadratic dependence of LAMLinS(/vectorF), allows a fast convergence of the minimization algorithm
by using a simple Newton-Gauss algorithm:
/vectorF(k+ 1) = /vectorF(k)−H−1./vectorgrad(LAML)|/vectorF=/vectorF(k), (23)
where kstands for the iteration step in the minimization process, /vectorgrad and Hare the gradient and hessian respectively
(see expressions in the appendix).
4. Combining new measurements and estimates
In this section, it is assumed that new measurements do not al low by itself the derivation of a good estimate. The
variance of such an estimate varies as1
Tobs≃(K+Q−1)−1, whereas integrating new measurements to this estimate
allow to derive a better estimation.
Letˆ/vectorF(t) be an estimate of /vectorFat time t, and N(ˆ/vectorF(t),Γ(t)) its density, assumed to be normal with variance Γ( t)28. If
a linear evolution model is known for /vectorF(t), one has
/vectorF(t+ 1) = M/vectorF(t) +ε(t), (24)
pt+1|t(/vectorF) =N(Mˆ/vectorF(t),MΓ(t)M++Rε), (25)
where Mis the evolution matrix; εis a perturbation term, which is statistically independent from /vectorF, and , Rεis its
covariance matrix. pt+1|tis the probability density function that can be derived for t imet+ 1, if the observations are
made until time tonly. As such an evolution equation is usually unknown, Mwill be set to the identity matrix in
the rest of the paper (see Michel22) for a detailed discussion). Applying the Bayes rule over co nditional probabilities
gives :
pt+1|t+1(/vectorF) =pt+1|t(/vectorF). pt+1(/vectorX|/vectorF)
pt+1(/vectorX). (26)
Noting that log( pt+1(/vectorX|/vectorF)) is the loglikelihood function for which a reduced express ion has been derived in the
previous section, one gets after all reductions and identifi cations the simple following expressions
ˆ/vectorF(t+ 1|t) =ˆ/vectorF(t), (27)
Γ(t+ 1|t) = Γ( t) +Rε, (28)
Γ(t+ 1)−1=H+ Γ(t+ 1|t)−1, (29)
ˆ/vectorF(t+ 1|t+ 1) =ˆ/vectorF(t+ 1) =ˆ/vectorF(t+ 1|t)−Γ(t+ 1)−1./vectorgrad, (30)
where it can be shown that the gradient function has the same e xpression as in the previous section. Rεis an unknown
matrix which will be practically set to v2I, where v2will be tuned in order to allow the algorithm to take slight ch anges
in/vectorFinto account. Furthermore, it is interesting that the set of expression above expresses a generalized Kalman
filter for estimating /vectorF(in the sense that it relies upon second order expansion of th e loglikelihood functions). The
statistical convergence properties and numerical efficienc y of these approaches are described in the work of Michel &
Clergeot21and Michel22.8
FIG. 3: Experimental setup in the case of the settling sphere .
IV. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
We first describe the simple case of a particle settling in a flu id at rest. It is well adapted to the reassigned
spectrogram method because the acoustic signal has a good SN R and a slow frequency modulation. We show that it
allows to extract the subtle interaction between the fallin g particle and its wake. We then study the more complicated
case of the motion of a particle embedded in a turbulent flow, w here the dynamics of motion is much faster and the
SNR is poor. We show that the AML method is well suited.
A. The settling sphere
1. Motivation and experimental setup
When a particle is released in a fluid at rest, its developing m otion creates a wake. The particle velocity is then
set by the balance between buoyancy forces and drag, and addi tional subtle effects: first, ‘added mass’ corrections
because the particles ‘pushes’ the fluid, and second, a ‘hist ory’ force because the wake reacts back on the particle.
Formally, one can write the equation of motion as6,8,24:
(mp+1
2mf)dvp
dt= (mp−mf)g−1
2πa2ρf/bardblvp/bardblvpcD(Re) +Fhistory . (31)
where mpis the particle mass, mfis the mass of a fluid particle of the same size, vpis the particle velocity, gis the
acceleration of gravity, ais the sphere radius, ρfis the fluid density, cDis the static empiric drag coefficient, Reis
the Reynolds number Re=2avp
νandFhistory is the so-called history force. In this expression, the drag coefficient is
usually obtained from measurement of the forces acting on a b ody at rest in an hydrodynamic tunnel. The history
term, however, is largely unknown. Analytic expression can only be derived in the limit of small Reynolds numbers
(less than 10) and cannot be applied for real flow configuratio ns (e.g. multiphase flows) where Re≫1.
We perform measurements of the motion of a settling sphere, w ith the aim of evaluating the influence of the history
forces. We use a water tank of size 1.1 m ×0.75 m and depth 0.65 m, filled with water at rest (figure 3). The bead is
held by a pair of tweezers, five centimeters below the transdu cers. It is released a time t=0 without initial velocity
and its trajectory is about 50 cm long. The data acquisition i s started before the bead is released in order to capture
the onset of motion.
2. Results
Let us use as a first example, the fall of steel bead, 0.8 mm in di ameter. The Doppler shift during the bead motion
is detected using the spectrogram representation and a subs equent reassignment scheme. The simple spectrogram
and reassigned version are shown in figure 4. The reassignmen t technique drastically improves the localization of the
energy in the time-frequency plane. In this case, the image p rocessing step computes vp(t) as the line of maxima.
The precision of the overall measurement depends on two fact ors : first on the intrinsic precision of the reassignment
method and second on the dispersion of the measurements (the reproducibility of the bead motion over several
experiments). The intrinsic precision of the reassignment method has been empirically studied using synthetic signal s
modelling the particle dynamics plus a noise that mimics the experimental data. We observed that for our choice of9

the inset shows a normalized cross-section of the spectrogr am. The algorithm is that of the tfrrsp function of the MATLAB
time-frequency toolbox25. To get rid of the spectral components at zero frequency due t o the coupling between transducers
and at small frequencies around zero due to slow motion of the water surface, we use a high pass fifth order Butterworth filte r
of cut-off frequency 25 Hz (corresponding to a velocity of 5 mm /s). Data of 0.8 mm steel bead settling in water at rest.
parameters (a time-frequency picture with 256 ×256 pixels) the rmsprecision is about one half pixel both in time and
frequency directions. The method thus allows a precise anal ysis of the dynamics of the fall; we describe below two
sets of experiment that illustrate the potential of the reas signment technique.
First, we show in figure 5 the velocity of a 1 mm steel bead (aver age over ten falls) together with two numerical
simulations based on equation 31, first without the memory fo rce and second with the expression of the memory
force derived at low Reynolds numbers (called the Stokes mem ory term, as in Maxey & Riley6). The precision of
the detection technique is sufficient for the measured profile to be compared to the simulated curves and to draw
physical conclusions about the hydrodynamical forces. At e arly times, the trajectory is close to the simulation with
memory force. This is due to the diffusion away from the bead su rface of the vorticity generated at the boundary6,8,24.
However, as the instantaneous Reynolds number increases, t he curve deviates from this simple regime: vorticity is
advected into the wake. Memory is progressively lost and the sphere reaches a terminal velocity in a finite time as
does the simulation without memory.
The measurement and signal processing techniques are then t ested on a more non-stationary motion, as in the case
of a bead whose density is close to that of the fluid. In this sit uation a stronger interaction is expected between the
particle motion and the development of its wake. Formally, t his traces back to differences in the effective inertial mass
and buoyancy mass of the particle – see equation (31). In figur e 6, we show the velocity variation for a light glass
sphere (density 2.48) compared to a tungsten bead (density 1 4.8). We observe that the velocity of the glass oscillates
before reaching a constant terminal value whereas the other particle has a regular acceleration. In the case of light10

beads the hydrodynamic forces may be large enough to overcom e the gravity and change the sign of the acceleration
. This is linked with the non-stationarity of the wake, as vor tex shedding is known to occur for Reynolds number
above critical ( Rec∼250).
B. Turbulent flow : Lagrangian velocity measurement
1. Experimental set-up
The turbulent flow is generated in a von K´ arm´ an geometry : th e water is set into motion by two coaxial counter
rotating disk in a cylindrical tank (figure 7). The Reynolds n umber Re=2πR2f
ν(where ν= 0.8910−6m2s−1is the
water kinematic viscosity) is equal to 106. To prevent cavitation in the flow, we boil the water before fil ling the tank
by lowering the pressure with a vacuum pump and during the exp eriment the pressure is increased to two bars. For
the acoustic measurement, we use the same array of transduce rs as in the previous experiments, at emitting frequency
3 MHz. The cylinder and the surface of the disks are covered by 3 cm of Ciba Ureol 5073A and 6414B. Its density
is 1.1 and the sound velocity is 1460 m.s−1so that its acoustic impedance is close to that of the water, r educing
drastically the reflections at the interface water/ureol co mpared to water/steel. The attenuation at 2.5 MHz is about
6 dB per cm. With a 3 cm layer and after the reflection on steel th e total absorption is about 36 dB. The total11

reflection at the interfaces is reduced by a factor 60. The par ticle is a polypropylene (PP) sphere of radius 1 mm and
density 0 .9.
2. Results
We show in figure 8 the time series when one particle is in the ul trasonic beam and the corresponding spectrogram
and reassigned spectrogram. The signal to noise ratio is ver y poor, typically less than 6dB (to give an idea, in
figure 8(a) the bead enters the ultrasonic beam at t∼20 ms). One can also see some events localized in the time
frequency plane that may be considered as noise and that may h ave several origin (noise of the motors, external
electromagnetic noise, cavitation in the flow.. . ). Altoget her, the time-frequency pictures show the trajectory of the
particle but the low SNR prevents it from being easily extrac ted. In particular, the trajectory in the reassigned pictur e
becomes quite lacunar and extracting it would require sophi sticated (and CPU greedy) image processing techniques.
The result of the AML algorithm is plotted in figure 9. The extr acted frequency modulation is of course within the
estimation in the spectrogram as in figure 8(b), but one obser ves that fine variations in the velocity of the bead are
now detected. The algorithm provides also an estimate of the amplitude of the source (figure 9(c)). It can be seen
that there is a strong amplitude modulation and that the SNR i s at most 6 dB and may become less than 0 dB.
As the hessian is related to the Fisher information matrix26, its inverse square root is linked with the variance
of the estimation: a large value of the hessian indicates an a ccurate estimation of the modulation frequency and,
hence, of the bead velocity. The inverse square root of the he ssian is plotted in figure 9(b): very large values are
calculated in the absence of a bead in the measurement volume at the beginning and end of the time series (as a
signature of the mismatch between the model which is compose d of one source at least and the reality: no source).
Local lower values (typically less than 0.1) are observed wh en the variance on the estimation is small. Spurious effects
are generated when the frequency modulation approaches zer o as the hessian also becomes very small because of the
filtering operation made in order to get rid of the coupling pa rt of the signal. Finally, one observes that the hessian
decreases as the signal to noise ratio increases (see at time 0.55 s).
V. CONCLUDING REMARKS
As can be seen in the previous section, both methods, time-fr equency analysis and parametric spectral analysis are
suited for extracting the time-varying frequency modulati on due to a Doppler effect. The domain of application of
each method depends on the degree of non-stationarity and on the SNR.
For high SNR and weakly non-stationary signals, the time-fr equency approach yields very good results. One
drawback is the need of a second processing stage to extract t he trajectory from the time-frequency picture. This
stage may become increasingly difficult if there is more than o ne spectral component or if the SNR degrades. In
both cases the quadratic nature of the algorithm produces in terference patterns in the image: spurious clusters and12

a lacunar trajectory result. Another, more fundamental, li mitation is that the length of the time window must be
long enough to preserve an acceptable frequency resolution , even with the reassigned spectrogram. This limits the
methods to weakly non-stationary signals.
For signals with a rapid frequency modulation, the AML spect ral estimation is well suited, as long as the noise is
near iid. The size of the time window can be decreased because of the parametric nature of the method, since a priori
knowledge has been taken into account. The performance is fu rther increased by the use of a Kalman-like filter. The
drawback is the necessity to find a good dynamical model for th e evolution of the spectral components. We have
chosen here the simplest model which works well for our exper iments but the approach can be refined by increasing
the number of parameters in order to consider more precisely the variation of the frequency. The AML algorithm also
provides a quantitative estimation of the quality of the dem odulation and the instantaneous power of the spectral
component. Finally, the AML method has the advantage to prov ide directly frequency modulation as a function of
time, in one stage.

Abstract
We have developed a new experimental technique to measure th e Lagrangian velocity of tracer
particles in a turbulent flow. We observe that the Lagrangian velocity spectrum has an inertial
scaling range EL(ω)∼ω−2, in agreement with a Kolmogorov picture. Single particle ve locity
increments display an intermittency that is as pronounced a s that in the Eulerian framework. We
note that in the Lagrangian case, this intermittency can be d escribed as a stochastic additive
process.

1Lagrangian characteristics of fluid motion are of fundament al importance in the under-
standing of transport and mixing. It is a natural approach fo r reacting flows or pollutant
contamination problems to analyze the motion of individual fluid particles. Another char-
acteristic of mixing flows is their high degree of turbulence . For practical reasons, most of
the experimental work concerning high Reynolds number flows has been obtained in the
Eulerian framework. Lagrangian measurements are challeng ing because they involve the
tracking of particle trajectories: enough time resolution , both at small and large scales, is
required to describe the turbulent fluctuations. With this i n mind, we have developed a new
experimental method, based on sonar techniques to obtain a m easurement of single particle
velocities for times up to the flow large scale turnover time [ 1]. Our aim in this Letter is
to compare the statistical properties of the Lagrangian vel ocity fluctuations to well known
characteristics in the Eulerian domain, which we first briefl y recall.
Eulerian velocity measurements are usually obtained as the evolution in time of the ve-
locity field sampled at a fixed point. In this framework one is i nterested in velocity profiles
in space which are derived using the Taylor hypothesis. Whil e some issues regarding the
influence of isotropy and homogeneity are still debated [3, 4 , 5], the following statistical prop-
erties of the Eulerian velocity field are generally accepted : (i) the spectrum has an inertial
range EE(k)∼k−5/3, as predicted by Kolmogorov’s original K41 mean field approa ch, (ii)
the probability density function (PDF) of the velocity incr ements ∆ ur(x) =u(x+r)−u(x)
have functional forms that evolve from Gaussian at integral scales to strongly non-Gaussian
with wide tails near the dissipative scale (a phenomenon ref erred to as ‘intermittency’) , (iii)
this evolution can be described as being the result of a multi plicative cascade as originally
proposed by Kolmogorov and Obukhov (K62 model) and much deve loped since [2].
We show here that the Lagrangian velocity fluctuations have s imilar properties, and that
the intermittency in that frame can be interpreted in terms o f an additive process.
Experimentally, Lagrangian measurement have been quite sc arce. Recent data have been
obtained by optical detection of particles tracks, using ei ther Particle Tracking Velocime-
try [6] or high speed detectors [7, 8]. In the first case the res ults concentrate on the particle
trajectories while in the second case a high time resolution has been used to analyze the
statistics of particle acceleration. We propose a compleme ntary technique that gives a di-
rect access to the Lagrangian velocity across the inertial r ange of time scales. It is based on
the principle of a continuous sonar. A small (2mm ×2mm) emitter continuously insonifies
2the flow with a pure sine wave, at frequency f0= 2.5 MHz (in water). The moving parti-
cle backscatters the ultrasound towards an array of receivi ng transducers, with a Doppler
frequency shift related to the velocity of the particle:
2π∆f=q.v. (1)
The scattering wavevector qis equal to the difference between the incident and scattered
directions. A numerical demodulation of the time evolution of the Doppler shift gives the
component of the particle velocity along the scattering wav evector q. It is performed using
a high resolution parametric method which relies on an Appro ximated Maximum Likelihood
scheme coupled with a generalized Kalman filter [1]. The stud y reported here is made with
a single array of transducers so that only one Lagrangian vel ocity component is measured.
The turbulent flow is produced in the gap between counter-rot ating discs [9, 10]. This
setup has the advantage to generate a strong turbulence in a c ompact region of space, with
no mean advection. In this way, particles can be tracked duri ng times comparable to the
large eddy turnover time. Smooth discs of radius R= 9.5 cm are used to set water into
motion inside a cylindrical vessel of height H= 18 cm. In the measurement reported here,
the power input is ǫ∼13 W/kg. The integral Reynolds number is Re=R2Ω/ν= 1.75 105,
where Ω = 1 /Tis the rotation frequency of the discs (17.5 Hz), and ν= 10−6m2/s is
the kinematic viscosity of water. The turbulent Reynolds nu mber is computed using the
measured rmsamplitude of velocity fluctuations ( urms= 0.32 m/s) and an estimate of
the Taylor microscale ( λ=/radicalBig
15νu2rms/ǫ= 350 µm); we obtain Rλ= 110. This value is
consistent with earlier studies in the same geometry [11].
The flow is seeded with a small number of neutrally buoyant (de nsity 1.06) polystyrene
spheres with diameter d= 500 µm . It is expected that the particles follow the fluid motion
up to characteristic times of the order of the turbulence edd y turnover time, at a scale
corresponding to their diameter, i.e. τmin∼d/ud∼ǫ−1/3d2/3, using standard Kolmogorov
phenomenology. For beads of diameter 500 µm, one estimates τmin∼3 ms. This value is
within the resolution of the demodulation algorithm, so tha t both the time and space scales
of the measurement cover the inertial range of the turbulent motion.
One of the first quantity of interest is the Lagrangian veloci ty auto-correlation function:
ρL
v(τ) =∝angbracketleftv(t)v(t+τ)∝angbracketrightt
∝angbracketleftv2∝angbracketright. (2)
3We observe – Fig.1a – that it has a slow decrease which can be mo deled by an exponential
function ρv(τ)∝e−τ/TL, in the range t/T∈[0.1,2]. The characteristic decorrelation time TL
is of the order of the integral time scale (the fit in Fig.1a yie ldsTL= 54 ms while T= 57 ms).
This observation is in agreement with numerical simulation s [12, 13].

the solid line is a power law ω−2behavior.
The corresponding Lagrangian velocity power spectrum EL(ω) is plotted in Fig.1b. One
observes a range of frequencies consistent with a power law s caling EL(ω)∝ω−2. This is in
agreement with a Kolmogorov K41 picture in which the spectra l density at a frequency ωis a
4dimensional function of ωandǫ:EL(ω)∝ǫ ω−2. To our knowledge, this is the first time that
it is directly observed experimentally although it has been reported in DNS by Yeung [14].
We note that the ‘inertial range’ of scales extends for the en tire range of frequencies where
the velocity of the particle is expected to correctly reprod uce the Lagrangian velocity of fluid
elements: at high frequency, the observed cut-off may be due t o particle inertia, whereas at
low frequency the measurement is limited to the longest time that particles remain in the
detection zone (about 4 T).
We now consider the Lagrangian velocity increments ∆ vτ=v(t+τ)−v(t). We emphasize
that these are time increments, and not space increments as i n the Eulerian studies. The
spectrum gives the variance of ∝angbracketleft∆v2
τ∝angbracketright; the scaling region EL(ω)∝ω−2is equivalent to
∝angbracketleft∆v2
τ∝angbracketright ∝τ. As usual for flows with Rλless than about 500, the range of scale motion is
not sufficiently wide for a true scaling region to develop. The plot of ∝angbracketleft∆v2
τ∝angbracketrightas a function
ofτis rather rounded (Fig.2), with a trivial scaling ∝angbracketleft∆v2

with the increment’s width; the inset in Fig.2 shows ∝angbracketleft∆v2
τ∝angbracketright/τand no plateau can be detected.

increment’s width: they are almost Gaussian at integral tim e scales and exhibit wide tails
at small scales. One measure of that evolution is given by the flatness factor F(τ) =
∝angbracketleft∆v4
τ∝angbracketright/∝angbracketleft∆v2
τ∝angbracketright2; in our case Fvaries from 16 at smallest time lag to 3 .5 forτ∼T. In this
respect, the intermittency is as developed in the Lagrangia n frame as it is in the Eulerian
one [15].
More generally, one can choose to describe the PDFs evolutio n by the behavior of their
moments (or ‘structure functions’). A consequence of the ch ange of shape of the PDFs
with scale is that their moments, as the flatness factor above , vary with scale. One way to
compensate for the lack of a true inertial range is to use one s tructure function as a reference
and to study the evolution of the others relative to that refe rence (ESS ansatz [16]). In the
spirit of numerous studies in the Eulerian frame, we use the s econd order structure function
as a reference; indeed, the dimensional Kolmogorov-like ar gument yields:
∝angbracketleft∆v2
τ∝angbracketright=CLǫ τ . (3)
6This expression shows that the second order structure funct ion is not affected by spatial or
temporal inhomogeneities of the dissipation ǫ. It is the analogue of the third order structure
function in the Eulerian domain. In that respect, CLis expected to be a universal constant,
although there is no known equivalent of the K´ arm´ an-Howar th relationship in Lagrangian
coordinates.

The relative scaling of the structure functions is evidence d in Fig.4, where they are
plotted up to order 4 (higher orders would require more stati stics to converge than currently
available). We observe that they follow a relative scaling l aw, i.e.

The scaling domain extends from τ/T∼0.02 to τ/T∼1.3, a wider range than the scaling

relative exponents are ξL
1= 0.56, ξL
3= 1.35, ξL
4= 1.64. These Lagrangian exponents follow a
sequence close to, but slightly more intermittent than the c orresponding Eulerian quantity.
Indeed, we obtain: ξL

7In the Eulerian context, the ESS property has been regarded a s the sign of infinite
divisibility for the multiplicative cascade underlying th e fluctuations of dissipation [18]. We
propose that in the Lagrangian framework, the intermittenc y of the increments result from
an additive process. Indeed, the increment at time lag τcan be written as:
∆vτ(t) =/integraldisplayt+τ
ta(t′)dt′, (5)
where a(t) is the Lagrangian acceleration. It is known that its auto-c orrelation time is quite
small, of the order of τη[7, 8, 12, 13]. Thus one could view the velocity increment at t ime
lagτ≫τηas resulting from a sum of uncorrelated contributions. In th is case the PDF at
time lag τwould results from successive convolutions of the PDF at a ti me interval equal
to a few units of τη. The validity of this assumption can be checked by computing the

simple convolution law by a fixed kernel means that the cumula nts of any two orders are an
affine function of one another. Indeed, in such an additive pro cess, one has for the PDF Π τ
at time lag τ:
Πτ= Π τ0⊗Π⊗[n(τ)−n(τ0)]

8where τ0is the starting scale, Π 0is the propagator and n(τ) the number of steps of the
process. This implies for the cumulants:

This affine behavior is indeed observed in Fig.5 for the second and fourth cumulants. We
note that when the cumulants of the absolute values are compu ted, the range of linearity is
extended to the entire range where ESS is verified. The additi ve process is not a completely
uncorrelated one because the number of convolution steps n(τ) is not a simple linear function
ofτ; its shape is given by CL
2– equal to the second order structure function, shown in Fig. 2.
In conclusion, we have observed experimentally that there i s much resemblance between
the Eulerian velocity and the Lagrangian velocity. In both c ase the power spectra obey
scaling laws that are given by Kolmogorov similarity argume nts. Also, the velocity incre-
ments are intermittent, but one consequence of our observat ions is that the intermittency
of the Lagrangian (1-point) velocity increments can be desc ribed by an additive process.
This raises several questions which may deserve further inv estigations: (i) the additive
process results from the statistical properties of the Lagr angian acceleration. Could some
of its statistical characteristics be directly derived fro m the Navier-Stokes equation? What
are the relative contributions of the pressure and viscous t erms? (ii) what is the behavior
of this additive process in the limit of infinite Reynolds num bers?

Abstract. We have constructed and modeled a simple and efficient source o f slow atoms. From a background
vapour loaded magneto-optical trap, a thin laser beam extra cts a continuous jet of cold rubidium atoms.
In this setup, the extraction column that is typical to leaki ng MOT systems is created without any optical
parts placed inside the vacuum chamber. For detailed analys is, we present a simple 3D numerical simulation
of the atomic motion in the presence of multiple saturating l aser fields combined with an inhomogeneous
magnetic field. At a pressure of PRb87= 1×10−8mbar, the moderate laser power of 10mW per beam
generates a jet of flux Φ= 1.3×108atoms/s with a mean velocity of 14m/s and a divergence of <20 mrad.

1 Introduction
Experiments on trapped cold atom clouds require in most
cases high particle numbers and long trapping lifetimes. In
order to restrict the lifetime limiting collisions with bac k-
ground gas, an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment is
necessary. In turn, at these pressures a purely background
vapour charged magneto-optical trap (VCMOT) is limited
to very small atom numbers and long loading times and
thus needs to be loaded by an additional jet of cold atoms.
As to the simplest possible cold atom sources, a laser-
free velocity filter [1] is elegant, but its maximum flux can
be greatly improved upon by adding a laser cooling stage.
The Zeeman slower is a widely used technique espe-
cially for light and thus thermally non capturable fast
species. For heavier elements, one can accumulate atoms
into a MOT in a vapour cell, with various strategies for
subsequent transfer to a recapture MOT in the UHV cell.
These strategies can be categorized into either a pulsed
[2,3] or continuous transfer scheme. The latter category
involves either a moving molasses [4] or a ’leaking MOT’
scheme [5,6].
This paper presents the construction and numerical
modeling of a cold atom jet whose flux is continuous, ad-
justable in a given direction, and velocity tunable. The
device we present is based on an ordinary VCMOT. It
captures and cools atoms from the low velocity part of
the room temperature Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in
a high pressure cell of P∼10−8mbar. From the center of

spot size extracts a continuous jet that is slow enough
to be recaptured in a MOT in the UHV region. The jet
passes through a tube that maintains the pressure differ-
ential between the two cells, and the atom number transfer
between the two MOTs is found to be typically 50 % and
as high as 60 % efficient.
The Atom Faucet is closely related to the LVIS [5]
and the 2D+MOT [6]. The common concept which relates
them in the ’leaking MOT’ family is the creation of a thin
extraction column in the center of the MOT where the
radiation pressure is imbalanced and through which leaks
a continuous jet of cold atoms. Operation in a continu-
ous mode maximizes the mean flux up to a value ideally
equal to the source trap capture rate. Since a leaking trap
operates at a low trap density, once captured, an atom
has much higher probability to leave the trap via the jet
rather than undergoing a collision that expels it.
The LVIS and 2D+MOT place a mirror inside the vac-
uum for retroreflection of one of the MOT beams. By
piercing a hole in this mirror, one creates a hollow retrore-
flection beam, and the jet exits through the hole. By con-
trast, the Atom Faucet requires no optical parts inside the
vacuum system. Here, we superimpose an additional colli-
mated ’pushing beam’ that pierces the extraction column
through the MOT.
In these complex magneto-optical arrangements the
behavior of the system is no longer intuitively obvious.
On its way into the jet, a thermal atom undergoes sub-
sequent phases of strong radiation pressure (capture from
vapour), overdamped guidance to the magnetic field min-
imum (MOT molasses) and 1D strong radiation pressure
with transverse 2D molasses cooling (extraction process).2 W. Wohlleben, F. Chevy, K. Madison, J. Dalibard,: An Atom Fa ucet
Theoretical estimates for near-resonant atom traps con-
centrate either on the capture [7] or on the cooling [8].
We develop a simple and heuristic generalization of the
semiclassical radiation pressure expression for the case o f
multiple saturating laser fields and inhomogeneous mag-
netic field. The new approach of integrating the atomic
trajectory through both capture and cooling mechanisms
(neglecting optical pumping and particle interaction) re-
produces the parameter dependences of the Atom Faucet.
The trajectories indicate the physical mechanisms of the 7-
beam-interplay. However, the simplifications made to the
Rubidium level scheme lead to an overestimation of the
absolute value of the radiation pressure force and hence
an overestimate for the capture velocity of the MOT.
This paper is organized as follows: In section 2 we
give details on the experimental realization of the Atom
Faucet. In section 3 we present the numerical model. Sec-
tion 4 discusses the parameter dependences of the device
in the experiment and in the simulations and finally in sec-
tion 5 we compare this scheme to other vapour cell cold
atom sources.
2 Experimental Realisation
The vacuum system consists of two glass cells separated
vertically by 67 cm with a MOT aligned at the center of
each cell. Using an appropriate pumping scheme and a
differential pumping tube of diameter 5 mm and length
15 cm the pressure in the lower recapture cell is less than
10−11mbar while in the source cell it is ∼10−8mbar. We
deduce the87Rb pressure in the source cell from the reso-
nant absorption of a multi-passed probe beam. A heated
reservoir connected to the upper source cell supplies the
Rubidium vapour.
A grating stabilized diode laser locked to the |5S1/2, F=
2/angbracketright → | 5P3/2, F= 3/angbracketrighttransition injects into three slave
lasers, two for the source MOT and one for the recapture
MOT. The Atom Faucet (see fig. 1) is based on a standard
MOT configuration: two Anti-Helmholtz-coils maintain a
magnetic field gradient of 15G/cm along their axis, which
is horizontal in this setup. A pair of axial beams with pos-
itive helicity counterpropagate along the axis of the coils
and two mutually orthogonal pairs of radial beams with
negative helicity counterpropagate in the symmetry plane
of the coils. The radial beams are inclined by 45◦. The ra-
dial trap beams have an 8 mm spot size and the axial beam
11mm respectively, all clipped to a diameter of 1 inch by
our quarterwaveplates. The axial beam carries 20mW be-
fore retroreflection, and the radial beams each have 5 mW
each before retroreflection. The repumping light on the
|5S1/2, F= 1/angbracketright → |5P3/2, F= 2/angbracketrighttransition from an inde-
pendent grating stabilized laser is mixed only in the axial
beam and has a power of ∼5mW.
In addition to these trapping lasers, a permanent push-
ing beam on the |5S1/2, F= 2/angbracketright → |5P3/2, F= 3/angbracketrighttran-
sition with linear polarization [9] and optimal power of
200µW is aligned vertically onto the trap. It is focused to
a waist of 90 µm 30cm before entering the source cell such
that it diverges to a size of 1 .1mm at the source trap and
Fig. 1. The Atom Faucet setup (with the recapture MOT
below). A permanent pushing beam with ∼1mm spot size
pierces an extraction column into an ordinary vapour charge d
MOT. The high pressure region is separated from the ultra-
high-vacuum region by a differential pumping tube. The pres-
sure in the source cell is monitored by the absorption of an
additional multi-passed probe beam (not shown).
3.3mm at the recapture trap. Its intensity at the center of
the source MOT and detuning are comparable to those of
the MOT beams and hence its radiation pressure is also
comparable with the trapping forces in the MOT. Because
of the divergence of the pushing beam, the intensity in the
lower MOT is lower by a factor of 10. It decenters the re-
capture MOT by ≃1 mm but does not destabilize it. Note
that the pushing beam carries no repumping light, so that
it acts on the atoms only where it intersects the MOT
beams.
By studying the loading characteristics of the recap-
ture MOT, we deduce the main features of the atom jet:
–When the recapture MOT is empty the initial recap-
ture rate gives directly the recaptured flux since the
density dependent intrinsic losses in the MOT are not
yet important. The absolute number of atoms is deter-
mined using an absorption imaging technique.
–The time dependence of the recapture loading rate pro-
vides a measurement of the longitudinal velocity dis-
tribution of the jet. More precisely, by suddenly disin-
jecting the source MOT slave lasers and then recording
the recapture filling rate via the fluorescence, the char-
acteristics of the tail of the moving extraction columnW. Wohlleben, F. Chevy, K. Madison, J. Dalibard,: An Atom Fau cet 3

are measured. The jet transfer distance D= 67cm and
the time delay Tof the filling rate response gives the
mean longitudinal velocity ¯ v=D/T in the jet, and
the time width ∆tof this response gives access to the
longitudinal velocity dispersion δv(see Fig. 2).
For the determination of the transfer efficiency, the
loading rate of the source MOT is determined by its fluo-
rescence and compared with the measured recapture flux.
The fluorescence measurement is done at resonance and
we assume full saturation of the transition under the in-
fluence of all six laser beams and thus a photon scattering
rate of Γ/2photons/atom/second.
We observe a typical transfer efficiency of 50 % (see
below). Since the radius of the recapture MOT beams is
r= 5 mm and the transfer distance is D= 67cm, less than
50% of the atoms are emitted with a divergence larger
thanr/D∼10 mrad.
3 Theoretical Description for Numerics
In order to model both the capture of the atoms from
the vapor into the source MOT and the subsequent cool-
ing and pushing processes, we have developed a numeri-
cal simulation which integrates the equation of motion for
atoms chosen with random initial positions and velocities.
We describe the atomic motion using classical dynamics.
The action of the seven laser beams (6 MOT beams + 1
pushing beam) on an atom located at rwith velocity v
is taken into account through an average radiation force
F(r,v). We neglect any heating or diffusion caused by
spontaneous emission.
The calculation of the semi-classical force acting on an
atom in this multiple beam configuration is a priori verycomplex. For simplicity, we model the atomic transition as
a|g, Jg= 0/angbracketright ↔ |e, Je= 1/angbracketrighttransition with frequency ¯ hωA,
where |g/angbracketrightand|e/angbracketrightstand for the ground and excited state
respectively. We denote Γ−1the lifetime of e. Consider a
single plane-wave beam with wave vector k, detuning δ=
ωL−ωA, intensity I, and polarisation σ±along the local
magnetic field Binr. The radiation pressure force [10]
reads

stricting our attention to a single traveling wave, we con-
sider now the case where the light couples |g/angbracketrightto two or
three Zeeman sublevels |em/angbracketright. The calculation is in this case
more involved since the solution of the optical Bloch equa-
tions requires the study of 16 coupled differential equa-
tions. A simple approximation is obtained in the low sat-
uration limit ( s≪1):

Zeeman effect.
Still working in the low intensity limit, we can gener-
alize eq. (2) to the case where Nlaser beams with wave

Note that in establishing eq. (3) we have taken the
spatial average of the radiative force over a cell of size
λ= 2π/k, neglecting thus all interference terms varying
asi(kj−kj′)·r. We therefore neglect any effect of the
dipole force associated with the light intensity gradients
on the wavelength scale. This is justified in the case of a
leaking MOT since the associated dipole potential wells
are much less deep than the expected residual energy of
the atoms before extraction.4 W. Wohlleben, F. Chevy, K. Madison, J. Dalibard,: An Atom Fa ucet
At the center of the capture MOT, we can no longer
neglect inter-beam saturation effects since the saturation
parameter for each of the 7 beams is equally ∼1/7. In
principle, accounting for this saturation effect requires a
step-by-step numerical integration of the 16 coupled Bloch
optical equations (for a |g, Jg= 0/angbracketright ↔ |e, Je= 1/angbracketrighttransi-
tion), as the atom moves in the total electric field result-
ing from the interference of all the laser beams present in
the experiment. Such a calculation is unfortunately much
too computationally intensive to lead to interesting pre-
dictions for our Atom Faucet in a reasonable time. We
therefore decided to turn to a heuristic and approximate
expression for the force, demanding:
–In the case of a single traveling wave, σ±polarized
along the magnetic field, we should recover expression
(1).
–In the low intensity limit, the force should simplify to
expression (3).
–The magnitude of the force should never exceed ¯ hk Γ/ 2,
which is the maximal radiation pressure force in a sin-
gle plane wave.
There are of course an infinite number of expressions which
fulfill these three conditions. We have taken the simplest
one:

(3). This equation is the generalization of the heuristic
expression used by Phillips and co-workers [8] to account
for saturation effects in an optical molasses.
In the simulation, the MOT beams are chosen to have
Gaussian profiles truncated to the diameter of the quar-
terwaveplates. Also they are chosen to be equally strong
with a central intensity of 5 Isatand to have the proper
polarizations and directions. The pushing beam’s intensit y
is of the same order. We assume that because of optical
pumping into the lower hyperfine ground state, an atom
sees no forces when it is out of the repumper light mixed
in the axial beams. Finally, the magnetic quadrupole field
isB(x) =b′(−2x, y, z ).
In the simulation the initial position of each atom is
chosen on one of the cell windows following a uniform spa-
tial distribution. The initial velocity is given by a Maxwel l
Boltzmann distribution for T= 300K. The trajectory is
then integrated using a Runge-Kutta method. From these
trajectories (see fig. 3), one obtains a probability for an
atom to be captured and transferred into the jet, as well as
the jet’s characteristics: velocity distribution, diverg ence,
and total flux. The absolute flux of the simulated jet is cal-
ibrated using the real number of atoms emitted per unit
time and per unit surface of the cell at a pressure Pwhich
isP/√2πmkBT[11,12].
The simulation neglects interaction effects like colli-
sions and multiple light scattering. The validity of the lin -
ear scaling with pressure is limited to the low pressure
regime ( P <10−7mbar) where the characteristic extrac-
tion time of ≃20ms is shorter than the collision time,
which is in turn of the order of the trap lifetime.-10-50510

4 Results
Inspecting qualitatively the trajectories, we find that an
atom that enters the beam intersection is first decelerated
by radiation pressure on a distance much smaller than the
trapping beam radius. It then slowly moves to the center
of the trap where it enters the extraction column. The final
transverse cooling of the jet takes place during extraction ,
so that the divergence of the jet grows if the extraction
happens too fast. We believe that this is the principal loss
mechanism of any leaking MOT system, which have in
common an extraction column and a transverse molasses
provided by the trapping beams.
4.1 Total Flux
For a typical choice of parameters, the simulation finds
90 % transfer from the source MOT through the differen-
tial pumping tube to the recapture MOT. The remaining
10 % of the atoms leave the source at a divergence too large
to be recaptured and are lost. Experimentally, we have
achieved a transfer efficiency of at most 60 ±10 %. This
value is most probably limited by the differential pumping
tube diameter.W. Wohlleben, F. Chevy, K. Madison, J. Dalibard,: An Atom Fau cet 5

Concerning the total flux, we explored the pressure
regime of 10−9< P < 4×10−8mbar and found no devia-
tion from a linear dependence (see fig. 4)
Φjet
exp= 1.3±0.4×108atoms /s×PRb87(10−8mbar) .
The uncertainty primarily comes from the atom number
determination in the recapture MOT by absorption imag-
ing. Deviation from linear scaling with pressure is to be
expected when the collision time with background gas be-
comes of the order of the typical extraction time from the
MOT center into the differential pumping tube. This will
be the case for PRb87≥10−7mbar.
In comparison we found that the simulation overesti-
mates the capture velocity of the MOT, so that we need
to calibrate its predictions. Therefore we simulate a pure
MOT without pushing beam and compare the predicted
capture rate of
τMOT
sim= 13×108atoms /s×PRb87(10−8mbar)
with the value we measured in the initial regime of linear
growth of the vapour charged source MOT,
τMOT
exp= 2.5±0.6×108atoms /s×PRb87(10−8mbar)
We believe that the disagreement between these two
results corresponds to an overestimation of the source
MOT capture velocity vc. Since the number of atoms cap-
tured in a VCMOT varies as v4
c, our simple model over-
estimates vcby (13 /2.5)1/4∼1.5. In the graphs 5,6,7, we
normalize the absolute value of the flux and concentrate
on its variation with system parameters.
Simulated VCMOT Optimisation. Using the simulation
of a pure MOT without pushing beam, we can readily find
the parameters which optimise the capture rate from the
background vapour. The total laser power is taken to be
20 mW, equally distributed among three beams which arethen retroreflected. We calculate an optimal detuning of
−3Γ. The capture rate is divided by more than 2 when the
detuning is beyond −4.5Γor smaller than −1.5Γ. This is
the typical MOT operation range. The magnetic gradient
seems to have little influence as long as it is between 8
and 20 G/cm.
It is particularly helpful to calculate the optimal beam
waist for a given laser power since in the optical setup this
parameter is tiresome to change and demands subsequent
trap realignment. In our case, a 9 mm spot size gives the
best simulated capture rate, with half maximum values at
4 mm and 16mm. For a fixed laser power, having a large
intersection volume is preferable to increasing the satura -
tion beyond ∼4Isat. The experiment uses an 8 mm spot
size, and the optimum parameters do not change signifi-
cantly if the retroreflection loss of 20 % is included. Finall y,
the simulation reproduces the smoothly decreasing slope
of the capture rate versus the MOT beam power of ref [7].
4.2 Pushing Beam Parameters
We now add the thin pushing beam to the MOT light field.
Doing so does not modify the optimal parameters of the
capture MOT, neither in experiment nor in the simulation.
Remember that the volume affected by the thin beam is
very small compared to the total capture volume of the
source MOT. We investigate the influence of pushing beam
power, detuning, and size on the atomic jet emerging from
the MOT. The following discussion shall directly combine
experimental findings and the results from the theoretical
model.
Power. For very low pushing beam power the trap is de-
centered but not yet leaking. At Ppush= 80 µW (cor-
responding to a pushing beam intensity 1 /4 of a MOT
beam intensity), the flux increases sharply and then falls
off with increasing power (see fig. 5). The simulation pre-
dicts exactly the same critical power, without adjustable
parameters (see fig. 5). The decrease at higher power can
be understood if one examines the simulated divergence
of the atomic jet, which grows with increasing pushing
beam power. This effect is attributed to an insufficient
short transverse cooling time due to the strong acceler-
ation (see discussion below). Experimentally the jet ve-
locity is deduced from measurements like fig. 2. With in-
creasing pushing beam power it grows from 12 to 15m/s
with an average width of 10m/s. In the simulation, we
find a smaller width of 1 m/s. This discrepancy is proba-
bly due to the fact that we have completely neglected the
heating due to spontaneous emission. The longitudinal ve-
locity width is larger than that of the LVIS or 2D MOT;
however, for the purpose of loading a recapture MOT the
velocity width does not matter.
Detuning. The complex behaviour of the flux on the push-
ing beam detuning ( δpush) is qualitatively very well repro-
duced by the simulation (see figs. 6 and 7). If the pushing6 W. Wohlleben, F. Chevy, K. Madison, J. Dalibard,: An Atom Fa ucet

beam detuning is negative and exceeds the MOT beam
detuning |δpush|>|δMOT|, the trap is decentered, but not
yet leaking. Remember that the intensity of the pushing
beam is about the same as for the MOT beams, so that
as the detuning is increased the pushing radiation pres-
sures becomes weaker than the trapping pressure. With
zero or small blue detuning, atoms are resonantly acceler-
ated, and their extraction is too fast to allow for efficient
transverse cooling. These atoms leave at high divergence
and are lost. Generally the simulation finds a 1 : 1 cor-
relation of extraction time (flight time ∼10ms from the
center of the trap to the depumping region) with diver-
gence. Clearly, transverse cooling takes a certain time, an d
if the extraction acceleration is too strong, losses due to a
high beam divergence are inevitable.
For a blue detuning of the pushing beam such that
δpush≃ |δMOT|, a prominent peak in the flux appears in
both the experiment and the simulation. To interpret this
result we use the model of a |g, Jg= 0/angbracketright ↔ | e, Je= 1/angbracketright
transition in a one dimensional magneto-optical trap (thePushing beam detuning (Γ)-4 -2 0 2 4Predicted flux (normalized )

actual beam inclination and polarisation make the sit-
uation a bit more complicated). For an atom traveling
downwards in the extraction column, the |e, m=−1/angbracketright
level approaches the MOT beam resonance at negative
detuning. At the same time, the |e, m= +1/angbracketrightlevel ap-
proaches the pushing beam resonance at positive detun-
ing. When δpush≃ |δMOT|, the accelerating pushing beam
and the decelerating MOT beams stay equally close to
resonance throughout the extraction, and the atoms leave
slowly. The extraction time is ∼8 ms and the atoms are
cooled transversely leading to a large recapture flux in the
lower MOT. Finally if δpush>|δMOT|, the detuning of the
|e, m=−1/angbracketrightlevel from the recentering MOT light is al-
ways less than the detuning of the |e, m= +1/angbracketrightlevel from
the pushing beam light, and so the trap is decentered but
not destabilized (analogous to the behaviour at a large red
detuning).
Complementary Numerical Study: Waist. With a very
small pushing beam size <0.4mm atoms drift out of the
extraction column and are decelerated. They are recycled
forever or leave the trap with high divergence. For a large
spot size of >1.5mm atoms are not all extracted from the
center and so many are not cooled sufficiently transversely.
Both cases induce losses.
5 Comparison and Conclusion
Certainly, there are other techniques for the directed tran s-
fer of cold atoms from a VCMOT into a jet. A moving
molasses launch [2] provides a rather cold beam but low
flux. A pulsed MOT launched by a resonant beam push is
heated in the absence of transverse cooling beams [3]. Dur-
ing the launch ∼√
1000photons are spontaneously emit-
ted into the transverse plane, while in continuous schemes
there is transverse cooling during extraction. As a resultW. Wohlleben, F. Chevy, K. Madison, J. Dalibard,: An Atom Fau cet 7
there is then no need for magnetic guiding [13], to achieve
an elevated transfer efficiency.
Continuous schemes suffer less from interparticle in-
teractions, since the steady state source cloud stays small .
Leaking MOTs therefore accumulate atoms with the ini-
tial capture rate of the MOT. The Atom Faucet provides
a 50 % transfer efficiency from first capture, through the
differential pumping tube, and to a recapture MOT in an
UHV cell. It creates an extraction column that is typical of
leaking MOT systems with a flexible design and without
optical parts inside the vacuum chamber.
The flux of Φ= 1×108atoms/s at a background
vapour pressure of PRb87= 7.6×10−9mbar is equal to
that of the low power version of the LVIS in [6] and su-
perior to the 2D+MOT in this pressure region. The later
design in turn provides very high flux at high pressure,
since it minimizes the source trap density. We did not
explore pressures that were incompatible with the UHV
requirements in our recapture cell and found no devia-
tion from the linear scaling of the flux with pressure up to
pressures of 4 ×10−8mbar. Essentially, the Atom Faucet
transplants to a MOT at 10−11mbar the loading rate of a
MOT at few 10−8mbar.
We have also presented a 3D simulation of the atomic
motion in multiple laser fields with an inhomogeneous
magnetic field, neglecting interactions and fluctuations.
We find that the transverse cooling inside the extraction
column turns out to be a crucial element for the satis-
factory performance of leaking MOT atom sources. Our
simulation overestimates the capture rate, but predicts
well the measured parameter dependences. Moreover, it is
readily adapted to an arbitrary laser and B-field configu-
ration.

Abstract
A large area Resisti ve Plate Chamber (RPC) with a total active surface of
160×10 cm2 was built and tested. The surface was segmented in two 5 cm
wide strips readout on both ends with custom, very high frequency, front
end electronics.
A timing resolution between 50 and 75 ps σ with an efficiency for
Minimum Ionizing Particles (MIPs) larger than 95% was attained over the
whole active area, in addition with a position resolution along the strips of
1.2 cm . Despite the large active area per electronic channel, the observed
timing resolution is remarkably close to the one previously obtained
(50 ps σ) with much smaller chambers of about 10 cm2 area.
These results open perspectives of extending the application of timing
RPCs to large area arrays exposed to moderate particle multip licities, where
the low cost, good time resolution, insensitivity to the magnetic field and
compact mechanics may be attractive when compared with the standard
scintillator -based Time -of-Flight (TOF) technology.

The development of timing Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) [1] opened the
possibility to build large -granularity high -resolution TOF systems at a quite reduced
cost per channel when compar ed with the standard scintillator -based technology.
Previous work has shown a timing resolution better than 50 ps σ at 99% efficiency in
single four -gap chambers [2] and an average timing resolution of 88 ps σ at and average
efficiency of 97% in a 32 channel system [3]. It has also been shown that each
amplifying gap of 0.3 mm thickness has a detection efficiency close to 75% and that the
avalanche develops under the infl uence of a strong space charge effect [4]. A Monte -
Carlo model of the avalanche development reproduced well the observed data,
confirming the dominant role of space charge effects in these detectors [5].
Although timing RPCs have so far been built with relatively small active areas per
electronic readout channel (on the order of 10 cm2), compatible with the
high-multiplicity requirements of High Energy Heavy Ion Physics, ther e is a number of
possible applications in lower multiplicity environments ( [6], [7]) for more coarsely
segmented counters.
Having in view such applications, we describe in this paper the structure a nd
performance of a large counter, with an active area of 160 ×10 cm2, readout by only 2 or
4 electronic channels.
2 Detector description
The detector was built from 3 mm thick float -glass plates with an area of 160 ×12 cm2
and a measured bulk resistivity of 2×1012 Ω cm. The stack of plates, with attached
copper foil1 electrode strips (see Figure 1), was mounted on a supporting 1 cm thick
acrylic plate and a controlled pressure was applied to the stack by means of regularly
spaced spr ing-loaded plastic bars. Four gas gaps were defined by glass fibres of 0.3 mm
diameter placed between the glass plates, beneath the pressing bars.
There were six individual electrode strips, with dimensions of 160 ×5 cm2, connected
in two independent multil ayer groups with a 1 mm wide interstrip distance. The
arrangement defined an active area of 160 ×10 cm2, leaving uncovered a 1 cm wide
region on the outer rim of the glass plates.
The ends of each group were connected via a short 50 Ω coaxial cable ( Figure 1) to
preamplifiers placed inside the gas volume, whose signal was fed through gas tight
connectors to external amplifier -discriminator boards. The front -end chain was
custom-made from commercially available analogue and digital i ntegrated circuits,
yielding measured timing and charge resolutions of respectively 10 ps σ and 3.2 fC σ
[8]. For stability reasons the discriminators had a built -in dead time of 1 µs after each
detected pulse that will contrib ute to the overall counter inefficiency.
High voltage, around 6 kV, was applied to the outer strips via 10 M Ω resistors and
the signal travelling in these strips was fed to the shielding of the signal cables via
2.2 nF high voltage capacitors (see Figure 1). The central wire of the signal cables was
connected directly to the central strips and to the preamplifiers inputs. To avoid the use
1 3M cond uctive-adhesive copper tape. 3of floating electrodes, the glass plates placed in the middle of each (upper and lower)
half of the detector had thin copper electrodes glued along their lateral edges, kept by a
resistive voltage divider at half of the voltage applied to the outer strips.
The detector, high voltage distribution network and preamplifiers were placed inside
a gas-tight aluminium enclosure that was kept under a continuous flow of a
non-flammable gas mixture consisting of 85% C2H2F4† + 10% SF6 + 5% iso-C4H10 [9],
at a flow rate close to 100 cm3/min.
3 Test Setup and Data Acquisition
The tests were made at the CERN PS using a secondary beam (T11) of 3.5 GeV
particles, mainly negative pions, in August 2000. The spills were 0.3 s long and spaced
by a few seconds. Most tests were done with a defocused beam that illuminated the
detector over a regi on of a few hundred cm2.
A pair of plastic scintillation counters (Bicron BC420) measuring 8 ×3×2 cm3 and
viewed on each 3 ×2 cm2 face by a fast photomultiplier (Hamamatsu H6533) provided
the reference time information. Both counters had a timing resolution close to 35 ps σ
and defined a coincidence (trigger) area of 2 ×2 cm2, being placed upstream from the
RPC.
The data acquisition system, based on the CAMAC standard, was triggered by the
coincidence of both timing scintillation counters, being additionally required that no
signal was present (veto) in a fourth wide scintillation counter that surrounded the
coincidence -selected beam.
After a valid trigger the four timing signals from the reference scintillation counters
and the four timing signals from the RP C were digitised by a LeCroy 2229 TDC. A
LeCroy 2249w ADC, operated with a gate of 300 ns, digitised the corresponding charge
information. The TDC was calibrated using an Ortec 240 time calibrator and the ADC
was calibrated by injecting in the preamplifier s a known amount of charge via the test
inputs.
4 Data Analysis
Prior to any analysis the TDC digitisation error was taken into account by adding to
each data value a random number distributed in the interval [ -0.5, 0.5] and the events
were selected by exter nal and internal cuts.
After cuts the events were attributed to the strip showing the largest charge signal
and the data from each strip was analysed separately.
4.1 External Cuts
To clear the data from beam -related artefacts, like multi -particle events or sc attered
particles, several cuts were made based on the information collected from the timing
scintillators. Events selected for further analysis had to comply with the following
requirements:
† Commercially known as R134a. 4 the difference between the TOF information from both timing scin tillators (time
average between both ends of a counter) should agree within ±2σ of the mean
value;
the position information from each timing scintillator (time difference between
both ends of a counter) should be within ±2σ of the respective mean value2;
the charge measured on each timing scintillator should lie between the 5% and
the 95% percentiles of the respective (strongly non -gaussian) distribution.
All these distributions showed wide tails beyond the specified cuts, generating
corresponding tails in the time response of the RPC (see section 4.5).
Typically about 50% of the events were accepted after external cuts.
4.2 Internal Cuts
The time difference between both strip ends (that should be independent of the
details of the av alanche development process and depend only on its position) shows
large bilateral tails that were cut at ±2σ of the mean value3. This cut had a negligible
effect on the time resolution of the counter but it strongly reduced the amount of timing
tails (see section 4.5) close to the strip ends. Tighter cuts have little further influence
and presumably the remaining timing tails are mostly due to the physical process related
to the avalanche onset and development (depending, for i nstance, on the applied voltage
- see section 5.4).
It should be noted that when the quality of the trigger was enhanced by requiring an
additional coincidence with a small (0.3 ×0.6 cm2) scintillator placed downstream from
the RPC the amount of tails became negligible (see Figure 8) and the cut mentioned
above had little effect on the results, suggesting that the need for such cut arises mainly
due to beam quality limitations.
For accurate correction of the measured time as a function of charge and to decrease
the amount of timing tails seen by the RPC without significant efficiency loss, a 1% cut
was made in the lower part of the RPC charge distribution ( Figure 2). (The RPC charge
was defined as the sum of the charges sensed on both ends of each strip.)
4.3 Detection efficiency
The detection efficiency was determined for each strip after the external cuts and
before the internal cuts. The impact of the (optional) int ernal cuts should be subtracted
from the efficiency values given in all figures.
Two different definitions of detection efficiency were formed by the ratio of the
following quantities to the total number of events:
the number of events yielding an amount of charge in the RPC larger than the
upper limit of the ADC pedestal distribution (charge efficiency);
the number of events for which a valid time was measured in the RPC (time
efficiency).
2 The position spread was mainly related with the width of the 2 ×2 cm2 coincidence -selected trigger
region. 3 Note that the same type of cut was applied to the timing scintillator data. 5In principle both definitions should yield similar results except if a considerable
amount of inter -strip crosstalk will be present. In this case the crosstalk signal, not being
galvanically coupled, will not contribute to any net charge but may induce a voltage
level above the discriminating threshold, generating a vali d-time event.
4.4 Position accuracy
A position -dependent timing information can be formed for each event by the time
difference between both strip ends. This information was calibrated with respect to a
known displacement of the RPC and it was charge -corrected in a manner similar to the
TOF information (section 4.5).
4.5 Timing accuracy
In principle a position -independent timing (TOF) information can be formed for each
event by averaging the time measured on both strip ends. However, it was found that
close to the extremes of the counter the TOF information was correlated with the
position information and a linear correction could be applied to the former as a function
of the later. Data will be presented with and without this position c orrection.
The TOF information also strongly correlates (see Figure 3) with the measured signal
charge and a correction was made along the lines described in [2]. The method
automatically determines an d corrects the contribution of the reference counters time
jitter.
The resulting time distribution was not purely gaussian, showing a bilateral excess of
events (timing tails) exemplified in Figure 4. We opted to characterize sepa rately the
main timing resolution figure ( σ) and the amount of timing tails, since the later can be
important or not, depending on the application.
The main resolution figure was determined by a gaussian fit to the corrected time
distribution (with 5 ps bins) within ±1.5 σ of the mean value and the timing tails were
characterized as the fraction of events whose distance to the mean value exceeds 300 ps.
For a purely gaussian distribution with σ ≤ 100 ps this fraction should be smaller than
0.3%.
For each ru n the time vs. log(charge) correlation curve, which is almost linear, was
characterised by the average time, charge and slope (see Figure 3). This information
was used to assess the stability of the time -charge correlation and the need for separate
correction curves at different positions along the counter.
5 Results and Discussion
In the following discussion we will refer to the position of the centre of the trigger
region along and across the strips as, respectively, the X and Y co ordinates, defining the
origin of the coordinate system in the geometrical centre of the counter.
5.1 Detection Efficiency and Crosstalk
Charge and time efficiency curves are shown in Figure 5 a) as a function of Y (for
X=0). The frac tion of events inducing a measurable amount of charge in both strips is
also shown, probably corresponding to avalanches occurring close to the inter -strip
region. 6When the trigger region was fully contained within a single strip the charge and time
efficiencies closely match for that strip, while the opposing strip shows a very reduced
charge efficiency and a considerable (from 80% to 90%) time efficiency. This large
crosstalk level (see section 4.3), actually to be expected on such long strips, did not
significatively affect the timing characteristics of the device, but would affect its multi -
hit capability.
In Figure 6 a) the time efficiency is shown as a function of X (for Y= ±3 cm,
corresponding esse ntially to the centre of each strip). The measurements were generally
taken in steps of 7.5 cm except for a region of strip A, between 0 and 20 cm, that was
scanned in steps of 1.5 cm to assure that at least one measurement contained a spacer.
The values r ange between 95% and 98%, being slightly larger for the strip A. This
small difference can be attributed to slight differences in the gain of the front -end
electronics chain. However it should be noted that a smaller chamber of similar
construction has sho wn a time efficiency above 99% [2]. The slightly reduced
efficiency found in the present counter can be attributed to a poorer trigger quality,
evidenced by the tails visible in the scintillators time and position information ( see
section 4.1) and to a much larger sensitive area that collects a larger event rate from the
wide beam (see the discussion about the discriminators dead -time in section 3).
The combination of bot h strip signals into a single amplifier for each end of the
counter, doubling the active area per amplifier, caused absolutely no degradation in the
detection efficiency. Also no influence from the spacers could be found in the fine -step
scan.
5.2 Timing Accur acy
5.2.1 Timing resolution
The timing resolution is shown as a function of Y (for X=0) in Figure 5 b). It ranges
from 58 to 76 ps σ across the counter, including the outer edges and the inter -strip
region. Since in a real application t here would be no possibility to determine the
avalanche position along Y, in the same figure we present also (horizontal lines) the
resolution figure obtained by analysing for each strip a data set containing an equal
number of events from each position, y ielding 67 and 76 ps σ for the strips A and B,
respectively.
In Figure 6 b) we show the timing resolution as a function of X (for Y= ±3 cm). Most
data points range from 50 to 70 ps σ, except for two regions, around -20 cm and -70 cm,
where the resolution was degraded to, respectively, 80 and 90 ps σ. This degradation
most probably has a local mechanical origin, since it is not symmetrical with the counter
geometry and not identical for both strips.
The combination of both strip sig nals into a single amplifier for each end of the
detector, doubling the active area per amplifier, caused absolutely no degradation in the
time resolution of the device. Also no clear influence from the spacers could be found in
the fine-step scan.
5.2.2 Timing tails
The magnitude of the timing tails is shown as a function of Y (for X=0) in
Figure 5 c). The tails do not exceed 2% of the total number of events, being smaller than 71% in the centre of the strips. The effect is larger in the outer edges than in the inner
strip edges, possibly because no attempt was made to sharply reduce the electric field at
the strip edges (the glass plates extend up to 1 cm beyond the copper strips). Avalanches
occurring in this space will induce currents both in the strips and in the enclosing gas
box, creating a position -dependent induced charge fluctuation that may cause timing
errors. A similar phenomenon can be perceived in the space between the strips, where
the induced charge was shared among the str ips in a position -dependent manner (see
also Figure 5 a)).
In Figure 5 c) we present also (horizontal lines) the values obtained by analysing for
each strip a data set containing an equal number of events from each position, yielding
tails of 1% for both strips.
In Figure 6 c) we show the amount of timing tails as a function of X (for Y= ±3 cm).
Strip B shows tails generally below 1.0 %, raising up to 1.5 % close to the counter
extremities. Strip A shows larger tails, up to 2% over the whole counter. A possible
reason for this difference, that doesn’t appear in the Y -scan (Figure 5 c)), could be a
momentary beam quality fluctuation.
The combination of both strip signals into a single amplifier for each side of the
detector, doubling the active area per amplifier, caused absolutely no degradation in the
amount of tails and no clear influence from the spacers could be found in the fine -step
scan.
5.2.3 Variations of the measured time and charge along the counter
Due to mechanical or electrical inhomogeneities there will be position dependent
charge and time variations along the counter. This effect should be corrected by
calibration using the counter’s position resol ution (discussed in section 4.4), being
however interesting to determine how finely segmented this calibration should be.
In Figure 7 we show the variations of time (a), charge (b) and of the slope of the
time vs. log(charge) correlation curve (c), represented in Figure 3, as a function of X
(for Y= ±3 cm). Variations of the average time by about 400 ps are apparent along with
large changes of the time vs. log(charge) correlatio n slope, while the average charge
remains relatively stable. It should be noted that the large slope variations visible in the
left-hand side of Figure 7 c) correlate well with the degradation of the time resolution
visible in the same region of Figure 6 b).
To evaluate directly the influence of these position dependencies on the time
resolution of the counter as a function of the segmentation of the calibration procedure
along X, we have combined an equal number of events from adjacent positions along
the strip B and analysed jointly the resulting data set. The results are shown in
Figure 7 d): events from the right -hand side of the counter could be jointly analysed
without much d egradation arising from position dependent effects, while the left hand
side was severely affected by such effects, calling for a finer segmentation of the
calibration procedure. Such features have probably a local, mechanical, origin, since all
other vari ables are equal along the counter.
5.3 Position Resolution
In Figure 8 a) the time difference between both strip ends is plotted as a function of
X (for Y= ±3 cm) showing an accurately linear dependency with a slope of 70.9 ps/cm, 8which corresponds to a signal propagation velocity of 14.1 cm/ns. In Figure 8 b) the
time difference distribution is plotted for two trigger positions 5.0 cm apart, yielding a
position accuracy of 12 mm σ. For this measurement the wid th of the trigger region in
the X direction was reduced to 3 mm via an extra coincidence scintillator.
5.4 Behaviour as a function of the applied voltage
It is interesting to study how some of the quantities mentioned above change as a
function of the applied voltage, as illustrated in Figure 9.
Figure 9 a) shows the evolution of the time resolution and efficiency, the later
showing a plateau of 98% above 6.1 kV while the former shows a broad minimum at
52 ps σ close to 6.1 kV. This voltage has been chosen as the optimum operating point
and most of the data presented in the previous sections has been taken at this setting.
Figure 9 b) shows the evolution of the average fast charge and of the amount of
timing tails. The behaviour of charge as a function of voltage was already discussed at
length in [4] and we will not further elaborate on this subject here. The amount of
timing tails decreases with increasing voltage and reaches a plateau of 1% above
5.9 kV.
Figure 9 c) shows the variation of the absolute measured time and of the
time vs. log(charge) correlation slope. As expected, the measured time shows a negative
variation, compati ble with a larger value of the avalanches exponential growth
parameter; further details on this subject can be found in ( [4], [5], [8]). The
time vs. log(charge) correla tion slope becomes less steep with increasing voltage,
reaching a plateau above 6.3 kV.
5.5 Behaviour as a function of the counting rate
Being the counting rate capability an important characteristic of RPCs, several
quantities of interest were studied as a f unction of the counting rate per unit area, as
show in Figure 10. The vertical arrow indicates the standard operating point
(140 Hz/cm2) at which most of the measurements presented above were taken.
Figure 10 a) shows the variation of the time resolution and efficiency. Both
quantities are constant below 140 Hz/cm2 and degraded at larger counting rates.
Operation up to 500 Hz/cm2 may be possible if a slight degradation of the counter
performance is accepte d (comparable with the performance variations observed as a
function of position).
Figure 10 b) shows the evolution of the average fast charge and of the amount of
timing tails. The average fast charge shows a continuous decrease with increasing
counting rate, suggesting a counting -rate induced reduction of the average electric field
in the amplifying gap, while the timing tails remain quite small (less than 4 %) up to
1 kHz/cm2.
Figure 10 c) shows the var iation of the absolute measured time and of the time vs.
log(charge) correlation slope. The average measured time shows a positive variation,
compatible the observed reduction of the gas gain, which is nevertheless quite small
(±10 ps) around the standard operating point, while the slope remains essentially
unchanged around this point. It should be stressed that any variations of these quantities
can be taken into account by appropriate calibration. 9The general behaviour of the detector characteristics as a function of the counting
rate indicates that there is no degradation of the performance up 140 Hz/cm2 and that a
counting rate of 500 Hz/cm2 could be handled if a slight performance degradation of
will be accepted.
6 Conclusions
We built and tested a large area timing RPC, with an active surface of 160 ×10 cm2,
to be applied in medium (e.g. [6]) or low multiplicity (e.g. [7]) TOF counters. The
active area was segmented in two readout strips, each measu ring 160 ×5 cm2, sensed in
both ends by identical custom -made, very high -frequency, front -end electronic channels
[8].
A timing resolution between 50 and 90 ps σ with an efficiency between 95% and
98% for MIPs was attained over the whole active area. The performance could be
improved close to the strip ends by correcting the measured time as a function of the
measured avalanche position, thus improving the time resolution range to lie between
50 and 75 ps σ.
The combination of both strip signals into a single amplifier for each end of the
detector, doubling the active area per amplifier, caused absolutely no degradation in the
efficiency or in the time resolution of the device. Also no clear influence from the
spacers could be found in a fine -step scan.
The avalanche position along the counter could be determined from the time
difference between both strip ends, yielding a position resolution of 1.2 cm σ along the
strips with very good linearity.
Timing tails, defined as the fraction of events whose absolute time deviation from the
average was larger than 300 ps, were smaller than 2%, occurring the larger values in the
outer edges of the detector and close to the strip ends.
The general behaviour of the detector characteristics as a fu nction of the counting
rate indicates that there is no degradation of the performance up 140 Hz/cm2 and that a
counting rate of 500 Hz/cm2 could be handled if a slight degradation is accepted.
Probably due to structural inhomogeneities there were considera ble variations of the
average measured time along the counter, requiring a calibration procedure segmented
every few tens of centimetres. In an experimental array this segmentation would be
achieved with the help of the counter’s position resolution.
The large inter -strip crosstalk level observed (80%) does not seem to influence the
time resolution of the counter, affecting only its multi -hit capability. It should be
pondered whether for a given application it is not preferable to base the detector on
multiple layers of single -strip chambers, reaching full geometrical coverage and
avoiding any crosstalk. A multilayer configuration, providing multiple measurements
for each particle, would also have the advantages of being self -calibrating and allowing
an improved rejection of timing tails

Abstract
In this paper we present thoughtful comments on the paper ‘Be ssel
beams and signal propagation’ showing that the main claims o f that
paper are wrong. Moreover, we take the opportunity to show th e non
trivial and indeed surprising result that a scalar pulse (i. e., a wave
train of compact support in the time domain) that is solution of the
homogeneous wave equation ( vector ( /vectorE,/vectorB) pulse that is solution of
Maxwell equations) is such that its wave front in some cases does travel
with speed greater thanc, the speed of light . In order for a pulse
to posses a front that travels with speed c, an additional condition
must be satisfied, namely the pulse must have finite energy. Wh en
this condition is fulfilled the pulse still can show peaks pro pagating
with superluminal (or subluminal) velocities, but now its w ave front
travels at speed c. These results are important because they explain
several experimental results obtained in recent experimen ts, where
superluminal velocities have been observed, without imply ing in any
breakdown of the Principle of Relativity.
1In this paper we present some thoughtful comments ( C1−C4) concerning
statements presented in the paper ‘Bessel beams and signal p ropagation’
[1] and also some non trivial results concerning superlumin al propagation of
peaks in particular electromagnetic pulses in nondispersi ve media.
In [1] the author recalls that the experimental results pres ented in [2]
showed that Bessel beams generated at microwave frequencie s have a group
velocity greater than the velocity of light c(in what follows we use units such
thatc= 1)1. His intention was then to show that the signal velocity, defi ned
according to Brillouin and Sommerfeld ( B&S) was also superluminal. We
explicitly shows that the particular example used by the aut hor of [1], given
by the Bessel beam of his eq.(3) does not endorse his claim. Co ntrary to the
author’s conclusion this beam has no fronts in both space and time domains,
hence cannot satisfy B&Sdefintion of a signal. Moreover, the beam given
by eq.(3) of [1] travels rigidly with a superluminal speed. W e prove then
that there are two classes of general Bessel pulses satisfyi ngB&Sdefinition
of signal. A solution of the HWE corresponding to class I is such that the
group speed is always less than cwhereas its front moves with speed c.2A
solution of the HWE of the class II travels rigidly at superluminal speed if
care is not taken of the energy content of the pulse. We presen t also some
necessary comments concerning solutions of Maxwell equati ons associated
with Bessel beams of classes I and II.
We start by recalling the general solution of the HWE /squareΦ = 0 in
Minkowski spacetime ( M, η, D ) [10-12]. In a given Lorentz reference frame
[10-12] I=∂/∂t∈secTM, we choose cylindrical coordinates ( ρ, ϕ, z ) natu-
rally adapted to the Ireference frame, where ρ= (x2+y2)1
2andx=ρcosϕ
1In [3] we scrutinized the experimental results of [2]. We pre sented there a simple
model showing that all particulars of the data (including th e slowing of the superluminal
velocity of the peak along the propagation direction) can be qualitatively and quantita-
tively understood as a scissor’s like effect. Moreover in [3] we called the readers attention
that in [4] peaks of finite aperture approximations (FAA) to particular acoustical Bessel
pulses called X-waves (first discoverd by Lu and Greenleaf ([5,6]) have been see to travel
at supersonic speed i.e., with velocity greater than cs, the sound speed parameter ap-
pearing on the homogenous wave equation ( HWE). In [4] and [7] it is also predicted the
possibilty of launching FAAto superluminal electromagnetic X-waves, a fact that has
been confirmed experimentally in the microwave region in [2] and in the optical region in
[8]. A review concerning the different facets of ‘superlumin al’ wave motion under different
physical conditions can be found in [9].
2Of course, this is a kind of generalized reshaping phenomena which cannot endures
for ever. It lasts until the peak of the wave catches the front .
2andy=ρsinϕ, with ( x, y, z ) being the usual cartesian coordinates naturally
adapted to I. Writting
Φ(t, ρ, ϕ, z ) =f1(ρ)f2(ϕ)f3(t, z), (1)
and substituting eq.(1) in the HWE we get the following equations (where ν
and Ω are separation parameters ),

f3= 0.. (2)
The first of eqs.(2) is Bessel’s equation, the second one impl ies that νmust
be an integer and the third is a Klein-Gordon equation in two d imensional
Minkowski spacetime.3In what follows ( without loss of generality for the
objectives of the present paper) we choose ν= 0 (and also Ω >0). Then,
we obtain as a solution of eqs.(2) a wave propagating in the z-direction, i.e.,
ΦJ0(t, ρ, z) =J0(ρΩ) exp[ −i(ωt−¯kz)], (3)
where the following dispersion relation must necessarily b e satisfied,
ω2−¯k2= Ω2. (4)
The dispersion relation given by eq.(4) may look strange at fi rst sight,
but there are evidences that it can be realized in nature (see below) in some
special circunstances.
C1. It is quite clear that the wave described by eq.(3), called i n [1] a
Bessel beam4, has phase velocity vph=ω/¯k >1. However, we point out
that the statement done in [1] is false, namely: ‘As known, in the absence
of dispersion the group velocity vgrof a Bessel pulse is equal to the phase
one [4,5]5since all the components at different frequencies propagate with the
same velocity’. To prove its falsity recall that there exist s a Lorentz reference
frame [10-12]

3In 4-dimensional spacetime the Klein-Gordon equation poss ess families of luminal and
superluminal solutions, besides subluminal solutions. Se e [4] and references therein.
4Note that in [1] the author writes Ω = ωsinθand¯k=ωcosθ.

3which is moving with velocity vgr=dω/d¯k <1 in relation to the frame
Iin the z-direction. In the coordinates naturally adapted to the fra meI′
the frequency of the wave is ω′= Ω, which means that in the frame I′the
Bessel beam is stationary. This proves our statement that fo r Bessel beam
the group velocity is always less than the velocity of light c.
C2. Now, we show how to build two different classes (I and II) of so lutions
of the HWE by appropriate linear superpositions of waves of the form gi ven
by our eq.(3).
Class I . Suppose, following B&S[13,14 ] that a signal is defined as a
pulse with a finite time duration at the origin z= 0 where a physical de-
vice generated it. We model our problem as a Sommerfeld problem [15] for
theHWE (with cylindrical symmetry), i.e., we want to find the soluti on of
theHWE with the following conditions (called in what follows Somme rfeld
conditions),
Φ(t, ρ, ϕ, 0) = AJ0(ρΩ)[Θ( t)−Θ(t−T)] sinω0t

In eq.(6) Θ( t) is the Heaviside function, Aandω0= Ω are constants,
ℜmeans real part and ¯k(ω) is given below and for simplicity we take T=
Nτ0= 2πN/ω 0, with Nan integer. Now, to solve our problem it is enough
to get a solution of the third of eqs.(2). We have,

(7)
where vgr=¯k(ω)/ωand Γ is an appropriate path in the complex ω-plane.
We note lim ω→∞vgr= 1.Putting eq.(7) into the third of eqs.(2) we see that
the dispersion relation given by eq.(4) must be satisfied. To continue we
write,
¯k(ω) =/radicalbig
(ω+ Ω)(ω−Ω). (8)
There are two branch points at ω=±Ω. The corresponding branch cuts
can be taken as the segment ( −Ω,Ω) in the real ω-axis. Following Γ from
positive values of ℜωabove and close to the real axis, the root in eq.(8)
4acquires a phase factor eiπ=−1 when passing from ℜω >Ω toℜω <−Ω.
Then, on the real ω-axis we have,
¯k(ω) =/braceleftbigg
|√
ω2−Ω2|, ω > Ω
−|√
ω2−Ω2|, ω < −Ω(9)
a result that is necessary in order to calculate the value of f3for (t−vgrz)>0.
We are not going to investigate this case here, since we are in terested in the
behavior of f3for the case where ( t−z <0). In this case, we must close
the contour Γ in the upper half plane. Since there are no poles inside the
contour we get that
f3(t, z) = 0 for t−z <0. (10)
Now, it is easy to verify the intensity of the wave which is sol ution of the
HWE and satisfies the Sommerfeld conditions given by eq.(6) has a maximum
forω=ω0, i.e., the waves with frequency near ω0have always a much greater
amplitude than all others. Under these conditions let us wri te,
ωt−¯kz= (ω0t−¯k0z) + (t−z
vgr0)(ω−ω0), (11)
where vgr0= (dω/d¯k)|ω=ω0<1 and vph0=ω0/¯k0>1. We can write an
approximation for the function f3(t, z) denoted by ˜f3(t, z) as,
˜f3(t, z) =1

(12)
We see that ˜f3(t,0) is equal to f3(t,0) if we suppress in the expression
for this function the frequencies very different from ω0. Now, ˜f3(t,0) has
support on the whole temporal axis, i.e., in the interval −∞< t <∞, but it
is taken by some authors (like, e.g., [16]) as representing a wave that begin
gradually at t= 0 and ends gradually at t=T. Of course, no wave of
the kind of ˜f3can be build by any physical device. The importance of the
function ˜f3(t, z) is that, as emphasized by B&S[13,14] it shows that we can
associate a group velocity to pulse peaks in general (and of Bessel beams in
particular) satisfying the Sommerfeld conditons (eq.(6)) and that the group
5velocity in this case is lessthan the velocity of light. This means that after
a while the backend of the wave that is travelling at speed c(= 1) will catch
the peak. The wave reshapes even when propagating in vacuum.
A general subluminal J0-Bessel beam can be written as,
ΦB(t, ρ, z) =J0(ρω)F−1[T(ω)]ei¯kz(13)
where T(ω) is an appropriate transfer function and F−1is the inverse Fourier
transform. Now, the peaks ofFAAto acoustical pulses of the form given
by eq.(13) (i.e., the waves at z= 0 are not zero only in the time interval
0< t < T ) have been seen travelling at subluminal speed6in an experiment
described in [4], thus endorsing the above analysis.
Class II . We now return to the dispersion relation given by eq.(4) and
write,
¯k=kcosθ,Ω =ksinθ, (14)
where θis a constant called axicon angle [5,6,17]. It results that
ω=±k. (15)
We immediately verify that
J0(ωρsinθ)e−i(ωt−kzcosθ), (16)
is a solution of the HWE whose beam width is proportional to 1 /ωsinθ, thus
being frequency dependent. The dependency of the beam width on frequency
will cause the beam to have a pulse response that is independe nt of position.
Indeed, suppose that the source is driven by a frequency dist ribution B(ω),
i.e., we have a pulse
ΦX(t, ρ, z) =∞/integraldisplay
−∞dωB(ω)J0(ωρsinθ)e−i(ωt−kzcosθ), ω=k. (17)
IfJ0were not dependent on frequency the integral in eq.(17) woul d be
simply the inverse Fourier transform of the source spectrum and we return

sound speed in the medium, and the word subluminal speed used must be understood as
a speed less than cs.
6to class I solutions. However, here J0is dependent on frequency and also
on position and consequently modifies the pulse spectrum in s uch a way to
make the time response of the pulse dependent on radial posit ion. We put an
index Xin the wave given by eq.(17) because pulses of this kind have b een
named X-waves by Lu and Greenleaf since 1992 [5,6]. Even more, takin g
B(ω) =Ae−a0|ω|(Aanda0>0 being constants), we can easily verify (c.r.,

where µ= (t−zcosθ).
Eq.(18c) shows that this wave is a real solution of the HWE. We recall that
if in eq.(18a) we use as integration interval 0 < ω < ∞, we get only the first
term in eq.(18b). In this case we have a complex wave that has b een called
thebroad band X-wave in [4-6]. These waves and the more general ones given
by eq.(18b) propagate without distortion with superlumina l velocity given by
1/cosθ, but of course they cannot be produced in the physical world b ecause
(like the plane wave solutions of the HWE) they have infinity energy , as it
is easy to verify. Waves that are solutions of the linear rela tivistic wave
equations and that propagate in a distortion free mode, have been called
UPWs (undistorted progressive waves) in [4].
7Now, we show that a X-pulse even if it has compact support in th e time
domain (thus being of the form of a B&Ssignal) is such that its front propa-
gates with superluminal speed. To prove our statement we loo k for a solution
of the HWE satisfying the following Sommerfeld conditions7,

andk(ω) =ω. Proceeding in the same way as in the Sommerfeld problem

of Γ
We see that for |t−zcosθ|> Tthe integral in eq.(20) is notzero. Since
the axicon angle θ >0, then 1 >cosθ >0 and it follows that the pulse
is not zero for z > t andt > T , what means that the wave front of our
pulse propagates with superluminal speed! Of course, the pulse is zero for
z >(t−T)/cosθorz <(t+T)/cosθ. We observe that the above result is
true even a single Bessel pulse, i.e., when B(ω) =δ(ω−ω0), a result that we
mentioned in [3].
How to compare this finding with the famous B&Sresult [13,14] stating
that a wave pulse which propagates in a dispersive medium wit h loss has
a front propagating at maximum speed c? Some things are to be recalled
7B(ω) is taken in this example as a function such that∞/integraltext
−∞dωB(ω)J0(ωρsinθ)e−iωthas
support in the interval −∞< t <∞.
8in order to get a meaningful answer. The first is that B&Sexample refers
to a propagation of a ‘plane’ wave truncated in time (which, o f course, has
infinite energy) satisfying the Sommerfeld conditions (analogous t o eq.(6))
and propagating in a dispersive medium with loss. A careful a nalysis [19]
shows that the same problem in a dispersive medium with gain r eveals that
in this case we can find two kinds of solutions ( both of of infini te energy).
In one of these kinds, by appropriately choosing the integra tion path in the
complex ω-plane we obtain as result that the front of the wave may trave l with
superluminal speed. This situation is somewhat analogous t o what happen
with some possible mathematical solutions of the tachyonic Klein-Gordon
equation in two dimensional Minkowski spacetime [20,21]. T his equation
is important because it can be associated with the so called t elegraphist
equation.
The reason for our finding that the X-pulse propagating in a nondisper-
sive medium, although of compact support in the time domain, is such that
its front travel at superluminal speed is the following; the solution given by
eq.(20) is not of compact support in the space domain and as such has infinite
energy as can be easily verified. Only for a pulse of finite ener gy we can war-
ranty that its front always travel with a speed that cannot be greater than
maximum speed. Indeed, suppose we produce on the plane z= 0 a pulse like
the one given by eq.(20), except that it has a finite lateral ci rcular width of
radius a, i.e.,it is taken as zero for ρ > a . Such a pulse is called a FAAto
the pulse given by eq.(20) and as can be easily verified has finite energy . If
such a pulse does not spread with infinite velocity during its build up, then
after it is ready, i.e., at t=Tit occupies a region of compact support in
space given by |/vector x|< R, where Ris the maximum linear dimension involved.
Such a field configuration can then be taken as part of the initi al conditions
for astrictly hyperbolic Cauchy problem at t=T. For such a problem it is
well known the mathematical theorem that stablishes that [2 2,23] the time
evolution of the pulse must be such that it is nullfor|/vector x|> R+c(t−T). In
conclusion, it is not sufficient for a wave to be of compact supp ort in the time
domain (i.e., to be a pulse) to assure that the wave front of th e pulse moves
in a nondispersive medium at maximum speed c. In order for the wave front
to move with velocity cit is necessary that the pulse possess finite energy ,
and in order for this condition to be satisfied the pulse must h ave compact
support in the space domain after its build up. We recall here that in [4] the
peaks of FAAto acoustical pulses given by eq.(18) (with appropriated B(ω))
have been seen traveling with velocities cs/cosθ, thus confirming the theory
9developed above.
C3. We now examine the claim of [1] that a wave given by our eq.(17 ),
withB(ω) = 1, i.e.,
U(t, ρ, z) =∞/integraldisplay
−∞dωJ0(ωρsinθ)e−i(ωt−kzcosθ), ω=k. (21)
is a pulse with support only in the z-axis at points z=t/cosθand with value
at that points δ(0). The calculations presented in [1] are wrong. Before we
prove our statement let us recall that [1] quotes Brillouin: ‘a signal can be
defined as a pulse of finite temporal extension, that is, of infi nite extension in
the frequecy domain’.8The wave given by eq.(21) has an infinite extension
in the frequency domain but it is not a pulse of finite time doma in (for a
fixedz). Indeed, as theorem 11 on page 22 in Sneddon’s book [24] stab lishes:
a function which is bounded in the time domain has an infinite e xtension
in the frequency domain, but it is not true that a function wit h an infinite
frequency spectrum is necessarily bounded in the time domai n. A trivial
example of the last statement is the case of a Gaussian pulse, whose Fourier
transform is itself a Gaussian. In the particular case of the wave given by
eq.(21) it is immediate to realize that the integral is nothi ng more than the
Fourier transform of aJ0function, and the value of the integral is given in
many books, in particular on page 523 of Sneddon’s book [24]. We have,

=/braceleftBigg2 √
ρ2sin2θ−(t−zcosθ)2for|t−zcosθ|< ρsinθ
0 for|t−zcosθ|> ρsinθ(22b)
Eq.(22b) shows that U(t, ρ, z) has support in the entire time axis provided
that|t−zcosθ|< ρsinθ. When ρ= 0, since Uis real (as can be seen
directly from eq.(22a) we must have that |t−zcosθ|= 0 and the function U
is singular. We see that the result expressed by eq.(22b) is c ompatible with
the one given by eq.(18b) if we take the limit for a0→0.
8This definition is due to Sommerfeld. See [13,14].
10C4. Finally, we investigate the claim (done in [1] and attribut ed to [8])
that the wave function given by eq.(3) represents an electri c field. This claim
is a nonsequitur. Indeed, the scalar solutions of the HWE can be used to
generated solutions of the Maxwell system using the Hertz potential method
(see, e.g.[25,26]). In particular, superluminal solution s of the HWE can be
used to produce superluminal solutions of Maxwell equation s [4,7,9]. If we
choose a magnetic Hertz potential /vectorΠm= Φ J0ˆzit is a simple exercise to show
that the transverse electric and magnetic fields do not show a ny dependence
onJ0. Only the Bzcomponent of the electromagnetic field configuration has
aJ0dependence, but has also two other terms showing a J1and a J2depen-
dence. Explicitly we have from the well known formulas /vectorE=−∂/∂t(∇×/vectorΠm)
and/vectorB=∇ × ∇ × /vectorΠmthat,
Eρ= 0, Eϕ=−iωΩJ1(Ωω)

e−i(ωt−¯kz),
ω2−¯k2= 0. (23)
With an electric Hertz potential we obtain a solution where o nly the Ez
component has a J0dependence. As such, we conclude that the electromag-
netic beams observed in [2] and also in [8,17] are not J0beams. A careful
analysis of the solutions of Maxwell equations in cylindric al symmetry shows
that there are not J0solutions representing transverse electric fields. The
existence of only one peak observerd in the experiments done in [2] must
be due to the J1/ρterm in Eϕ. A more detailed analysis will be reported
elsewhere.
Our conclusions are as follows: (i) our results show that the main claims
of [1] are wrong and/or misleading and leads to equivocated c onclusions con-
cerning recent experimental results showing superluminal motion of peaks
of particular electromagnetic field configurations in nondispersive media; (ii)
we also prove a non trivial result, namely that the condition that a wave is
offinite time duration is not a sufficient condition for its front to propagate
with the speed c. It is necessary in order for the front to travel with speed c
that the pulse possess finite energy, and thus as explained above it must (af-
ter being prepared by the launching device) have support onl y in a compact
11space region when ready;9(iii) only FAAto superluminal solutions of the
HWE (acoustical case) and to superluminal solutions of Maxwell equations
can be produced in nature, because only waves of this kind hav e finite en-
ergy. These FAAexhibit peaks propagating with superluminal speeds even
in the vacuum, but since their fronts propagate with speed cthis kind of
phenomenom does not implies in any danger for the Theory of Re lativity.
9We mention here that any electromagnetic pulse fulfilling th is condition spreads, a
result that may be called the non focusing theorem [27].

Abstract.
We study a wide field motion sensitive neuron in the visual sys tem of the blowfly
Calliphora vicina . By rotating the fly on a stepper motor outside in a wooded area ,
and along an angular motion trajectory representative of na tural flight, we stimulate
the fly’s visual system with input that approaches the natura l situation. The neural
response is analyzed in the framework of information theory , using methods that are
free from assumptions. We demonstrate that information abo ut the motion trajectory
increases as the light level increases over a natural range. This indicates that the
fly’s brain utilizes the increase in photon flux to extract mor e information from the
photoreceptor array, suggesting that imprecision in neura l signals is dominated by
photon shot noise in the physical input, rather than by noise generated within the
nervous system itself.
1. Introduction
One tried and tested way to study sensory information proces sing by the brain is
to stimulate the sense organ of interest with physically app ropriate stimuli and to
observe the responses of a selected part of the system that le nds itself to measurement.
Within that framework there are strong incentives, both pra ctical and analytical,
to simplify stimuli. After all, short lightflashes or consta nt tones are easier to
generate and to capture mathematically than the everchangi ng complex world outside
the laboratory. Fortunately, sense organs and brains are ex tremely adaptive, and
they apparently function in sensible ways, even in the artifi cial conditions of typical
laboratory experiments. A further reason for using simplifi ed stimuli is that they are
presumed to elicit simple responses, facilitating interpr etation of the system’s input-
output behaviour in terms of underlying mechanism. Typical ly, these simple stimuli are
repeated a large number of times, the measured outputs are av eraged, and this average
is defined to be the ‘meaningful’ component of the response. T his is especially helpful
in the case of spiking neurons, where we face the embarrasmen t of the action potential:
Because they are an extremely nonlinear feature of the neura l response we often do not
really know how to interpret sequences of action potentials (Rieke et al, 1997). One
way to evade the question and save tractability is to work wit h derived observables, in
particular with smooth functions of time, such as the averag e firing rate.
Although it certainly is useful to perform experiments with simplified inputs, one
also would like to know how those stimuli are processed and en coded that an animal is
likely to encounter in nature. We expect animals to be ‘desig ned’ for those conditions,
and it will be interesting to see to what extent the brain can k eep up with the range
and strength of these stimuli. In the present work we are conc erned primarily with the
question of how noisy neural information processing really is. This question cannot be
answered satisfactorily if we do not study the problem that t he brain is designed to
solve, because for us it is hard to distinguish willful negle ct on the part of the brain in
solving artificial tasks, from noisiness of its components.Neural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 3
As soon as we try to characterize the behaviour of a sensory sy stem in response to
the complex, dynamic, nonrepeated signals presented by the natural world, we lose many
of the simplifications mentioned earlier. To meet the challe nge we must modify both our
experimental designs and our methods for analyzing the resp onses to these much more
complicated inputs. Recent examples of laboratory based ap proaches to the problem of
natural stimulation are studies of bullfrog auditory neuro ns responding to synthesized
frog calls (Rieke et al , 1995), insect olfactory neurons responding to odour plume s
(Vickers et al, 2001), cat LGN cells responding to movies (Dan et al, 1996, Stanley et
al, 1999), primate visual cortical cells during free viewing o f natural images (Gallant
et al , 1998, Vinje and Gallant, 2000), auditory neurons in song bi rds stimulated by
song and song–like signals (Theunissen and Doupe, 1998, The unissen et al, 2000, Sen
et al, 2000), the responses in cat auditory cortex to signals with naturalistic statistical
properties (Rotman et al, 1999), and motion sensitive cells in the fly (Warzecha and
Egelhaaf, 2001, de Ruyter van Steveninck et al, 2001). In each case compromises are
struck between well controlled stimuli with understandabl e statistical properties and
the fully natural case.
A more radical approach to natural stimulation was taken by R oeder in the early
sixties (see Roeder, 1998). He and his coworkers made record ings from moth auditory
neurons in response to the cries of bats flying overhead in the open field. More recently
the visual system of Limulus was studied with the animal moving almost free on the sea
floor (Passaglia et al, 1997).
Here we study motion sensitive visual neurons in the fly, and— in the spirit of
Roeder’s work—rather than trying to construct approximati ons to natural stimuli in
the laboratory, we take the experiment into nature. We recor d the responses of H1, a
wide field direction selective neuron that responds to horiz ontal motion, while the fly
is being rotated along angular velocity trajectories repre sentative for free flying flies.
These trajectories indeed are quite wild, with velocities o f several thousand degrees
per second and direction changes which are complete within t en milliseconds. In
analyzing the responses to these stimuli we would like to use methods that do not
depend on detailed assumptions about what features of the st imulus are encoded or
about what features of the spike sequences carry this coded s ignal. Recently, information
theoretical methods were developed for analysing neural re sponses to repeated sequences
of otherwise arbitrarily complex stimuli (de Ruyter van Ste veninck et al, 1997, Strong et
al, 1998). In our experiments we repeat the same motion trace, l asting several seconds,
and this provides us with the raw data for computing the relev ant information measures,
as explained in section 2.3. We emphasize that although we re peat the stimulus many
times to estimate the relevant probability distributions o f responses, the measures we
derive from these distributions characterize the informat ion coded by a single example
of the neural response.Neural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 4
2. Methods
2.1. Stimulus design considerations
The giant motion sensitive interneurons in the fly’s lobula p late are sensitive primarily
to such rigid rotational motions of the fly as occur during flig ht (Hausen, 1982, Krapp et
al, 1997), and these cells typically have very large visual fiel ds. It is this wide field rigid
rotation that we want to reproduce as we construct a naturali stic stimulus. But what
pattern of rotational velocities should we use? As a benchma rk we will present data
from an experiment where the fly was rotated at velocities tha t remained constant for
one second each. We would, however, also like to present the fl y with stimuli that are
more representative for natural flight. Free flight trajecto ries were recorded in the classic
work of Land and Collett (1974), who studied chasing behavio ur inFannia canicularis
and found body turning speeds of several thousand degrees pe r second. A recent study
(van Hateren and Schilstra, 1999) reports flight measuremen ts from Calliphora at high
temporal and spatial resolution. In these experiments flies made of order 10 turns per
second, and turning speeds of the head reached values of over 3000◦/s. In general,
high angular velocities pose problems for visual stimulus d isplays, because even at
relatively high frame rates they may give rise to ghost image s. In our laboratory we use
a Tektronix 608 display monitor with a 500 Hz frame rate,. The n 3000◦/s corresponds
to jumps from frame to frame of 6◦, four times larger than the spacing between
photoreceptors. Although the frame rate used here is well ab ove the photoreceptor
flicker fusion frequency (de Ruyter van Steveninck and Laugh lin, 1996) the presence
of ghost images may have consequences for the encoding of mot ion signals. Further,
the light intensity of the typical displays used in the labor atory is much lower than
outside. As an example, the Tektronix 608 induces of order 5 ·104photoconversions/s
in fly photoreceptors at its maximum brightness. The brightn ess outside can easily be a
factor of a hundred higher (Land, 1981), although the photor eceptor pupil mechanism
will limit the maximum photon flux to about 106photoconversions/s (Howard et al,
1987). Finally, the field of view of H1 is very large, covering essentially the field of one
eye (Krapp and Hengstenberg, 1997), which is about 6.85 sr or 55% of the full 4 πsr in
female Calliphora vicina (estimates based on Beersma et al, 1977. See also Fig. 1).
In practice with a display monitor it is hard to stimulate the fly with coherent motion
over such a large area and in most of our laboratory experimen ts we stimulate less than
about 20% of the full visual field of H1.
2.2. Stimulus apparatus
All the factors mentioned above suggest an experimental des ign in which the visual world
can be made to move more or less continuously relative to the fl y, and this is easiest
to accomplish by moving the fly relative to the world as occurs during free flight. We
therefore constructed a light and compact assembly consist ing of a fly holder, electrode
manipulator, and preamplifier that can be mounted on a steppe r motor, as shown inNeural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 5
figure 1. This setup is rigid enough to allow high speed rotati ons around the vertical
axis while extracellular recordings are made from the H1 cel l. Because it is powered by
batteries the setup can be taken outside, so that the fly’s vis ual system is stimulated
with natural visual scenes. The mounting and recording stag e inevitably covers some
area in the fly’s visual field. During the experiment this rota tes along with the fly,
and so does not contribute to motion in the fly’s visual field. B y tracing the contours
of the setup as seen from the fly, we estimate the shape and size of this overlap, as
depicted in figure 1. The setup was designed to minimize the ov erlap in the visual field
of the left eye. In the experiments presented here, recordin gs were therefore made from
contralateral H1, on the right side of the head. The setup occ ludes only 1.52 sr, or 22%,
of the visual field of the left eye, most of it ventral-caudal, as indicated by the heavy
mesh in the right panel of figure 1.
The stepper motor (Berger-Lahr RDM 564/50) was driven by a Di vistep 331.1
controller in microstep mode, that is, at 104steps per revolution, corresponding to
a smallest step size of 0 .036◦or roughly 1/30th of an interommatidial angle. The
Divistep controller in turn was driven by pulses from a custo m designed interface that
produced pulse trains by reading pulse frequency values fro m the parallel port of a
laptop computer. Pulse frequency values were refreshed eve ry 2 ms.
To generate naturalistic motion stimuli we used published t rajectories of chasing
Fannia from Land and Collett (1974), interpolated smoothly betwee n their 20 ms sample
points. For technical reasons we had to limit the accelerati ons of the setup, and we chose
therefore to rotate the fly at half the rotational velocities derived from the Land and
Collett data. This may be reasonable as Calliphora is a larger fly than Fannia , and
is likely to make slower turns. The constant velocity data pr esented in figure 2 were
taken with rotation speeds ranging from about 0 .28◦/s to 4500◦/s. To avoid extreme
accelerations during high velocity presentations the puls e program for the stepper motor
delivered smooth 100 ms pulse frequency ramps to switch betw een velocities. For
velocities below 18◦/s pulses were sent to the controller at intervals longer tha n 2 ms.
At the lowest constant velocity used in our experiments, 0 .28◦/s, pulses were delivered
at 128 ms intervals. The step size was small enough so that a mo dulation of the PSTH
was undetectable in the experiment.
The experiment of figure 2 compares data from the outdoor setu p to data taken
inside with the fly observing a Tektronix 608 CRT. The stimulu s displayed on this
monitor consisted of 190 vertical lines, with intensities d erived from a one-dimensional
scan of the scene viewed by the fly in the outdoor experiment. T he moving scene was
generated by a digital signal processor, and written at a 500 Hz frame rate. As mentioned
above, this gives rise to ghosting at high image speeds when t he pattern makes large
jumps from frame to frame. The DSP produced the coarse part of motion essentially
by stepping through lines in a buffer memory. On top of this, fin e displacements were
produced by moving the entire image by fractions of a linewid th at each frame. The
resulting motion was smooth and not limited to integer steps . The fly was positioned
so that the screen subtended a rectangular area of 67◦horizontal by 55◦vertical, withNeural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 6
the left eye facing the CRT and rightmost vertical edge of the CRT approximately in
the sagittal plane of the fly’s head.
2.3. Information theoretic analysis of neural firing patter ns
We describe briefly a technique for quantifying information transmission by spike trains
(de Ruyter van Steveninck et al, 1997, Strong et al, 1998, de Ruyter van Steveninck et
al, 2001). We consider segments of the spike train with length Tdivided in a number
of bins of width ∆ t, where ∆ tranges from one millisecond up to ∆ t=T. Each such
bin may hold a number of spikes, but within a bin no distinctio n is made on where
the spikes appear. However, two windows of length Tthat have different combinations
of filled bins are counted as different firing patterns. Also, t wo windows in which the
same bins are filled but with different count values, are disti nguished. We refer to such
firing patterns as words, WT,∆t. From an experiment in which we repeat a reasonably
long naturalistic stimulus a number of times, Nr(hereNr= 200 repetitions of a Tr= 5
seconds long sequence) we get a large number of these words, WT,∆t(t), with tthe time
since the start of the experiment. Here we discretize tin 1 ms bins, giving us 5000
words per repetition period, and 106words in the entire experiment. From this set of
words we set up word probability distributions, from which w e calculate total and noise
entropies, and their difference, according to Shannon’s defi nitions:
(i) The total entropy, Stot(T,∆t). From the list of words WT,∆t(t), for all t(0≤t≤
Nr·Tr), we directly get a distribution, P(WT,∆t) describing the probability of finding
a word anywhere in the entire experiment. The total entropy i s now:
Stot(T,∆t) =−/summationdisplay
WP(WT,∆t)·log2[P(WT,∆t)] (1)
This entropy measures the richness of the ‘vocabulary’ used by H1 under these
experimental conditions, hence the time of occurrence of th e pattern within the
experiment is irrelevant.
(ii) The average noise entropy, ¯Snoise(T,∆t). If the neuron responded perfectly
reproducibly to repeated stimuli, then the information con veyed by the spike train
would equal the total entropy defined above. There is noise, h owever, and this leads
to variations in the responses, as can be seen directly from t he rasters in Fig. 3.
¯Snoise(T,∆t) gives us an estimate of how variable the response to identic al stimuli is.
We first accumulate, for each instant trin the stimulus sequence, the distribution
of all those firing patterns P(WT,∆t|tr), taken across all trials, that begin at tr(note
that 0 ≤tr≤Tr). The entropy of this distribution measures the (ir)reprod ucibility
of the response at each instant tr:
Snoise(T,∆t, tr) =−/summationdisplay
WP(WT,∆t|tr)·log2[P(WT,∆t|tr)]. (2)
Calculating this for each point in time and averaging all the se values we obtain the
average noise entropy:
¯Snoise(T,∆t) =1
Tr/integraldisplayTr
0Snoise(T,∆t, tr)dtr. (3)Neural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 7
(iii) The information conveyed by words at the given length Tand resolution ∆ tis the
difference of these two entropies:
I(T,∆t) =Stot(T,∆t)−¯Snoise(T,∆t). (4)
The coding efficiency of the spike train is the fraction of the t otal entropy that is
utilized to convey information:
η(T,∆t) =I(T,∆t)
Stot(T,∆t). (5)
Small values of η(T,∆t) indicate a loose coupling between stimulus and spike train ,
whereas values close to 1 imply that there is little noise ent ropy, so that most of the
structure of the spike train is meaningful, and carries a mes sage. Here we will not be
interested in the decoding question, that is in whatthat message is, but only in how
much information is conveyed about the stimulus. We will then com pare these values
in different conditions.
It should be stressed that the information values we derive b y these methods are
not strictly about velocity. They are potentially about anything in the stimul us that is
repetitive with period Tr. It is our job as experimenters to construct inputs that we th ink
will stimulate the neuron well, and for H1, naturalistic wid e field motion seems to be a
good choice. But that does not necessarily mean that that is t he best choice. Further,
the motion pattern is dynamic, and any noiseless time invari ant operation on this signal
will produce a result that has the same repeat period as the or iginal. Our information
measures do not distinguish these cases; specifically, our d iscussion is unaffected by
the question of whether H1 encodes velocity, acceleration, or some nonlinear function
of these variables. Questions of decoding are highly intere sting, but at the same time
difficult to tackle for stimuli of the type studied here, and we will leave them aside in
this paper.
It is interesting to try and estimate I(T,∆t) as we let Tbecome very long, and
∆tvery short, as this limit is the average rate of information t ransmission. Because
calculating this limit requires very large data sets, we foc us here on the information
transmitted in constant time windows, T= 30 ms, as a function of ∆ t. We choose
T= 30ms because that amounts to the delay time with which a chas ing fly follows
turns of a leading fly during a chase (Land and Collett, 1974); the end result, that is
the dependence of information transmission on ∆ t, was found not to depend critically
on the choice of T.
To quantify noise entropy, the method described above requi res that a stimulus
waveform be repeated. Although it is possible in principle t o quantify information
transmission based only on one repetition, using many repet itions is easier in practice.
In a sense this mode of stimulation is still removed from the r ealistic situation in which
stimuli are not repeated at all. Indeed, in our experiments t here are hints that the fly
adapts to the stimulus somewhat over the first few presentati ons of the 5 second long
stimulus. The effects of adaptation to dynamic stimuli are ce rtainly interesting (Brenner
et al , 2000, Fairhall et al , 2001), but in the data we present here we skip the firstNeural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 8
few presentations, and only analyze that part of the experim ent in which the fly seems
fully adapted to the ongoing dynamic stimulus. Inspection o f the rasters in that phase
shows no obvious trends, so that the fly seems to be close to sta tionary conditions. In
this regard our information measures are lower bounds, as de viations from stationarity
will increase our estimate of the noise entropy, lowering in formation estimates.
3. Results
3.1. Operating range for naturalistic motion stimuli
In order to be sure that H1 receives no dominant motion relate d signals from other
modalities than vision we rotated the fly either in darkness o r under a cover that turned
along with the fly. This did not produce discernible motion re sponses in H1. Strictly
speaking that does not exclude possible modulatory mechano sensory input, which could
be investigated in principle by presenting conflicting visu al and mechanosensory stimuli.
The possibility seems remote, however, and even if true it wo uld not invalidate our
conclusions about the dependence of H1’s information trans mission on parameters of
the visual stimulus.
As a first comparison between laboratory and natural conditi ons we present data
from an experiment in which H1 was excited by one second long e pisodes of motion
at constant velocity. These were presented at a range of velo cities from about 0.28◦/s
to 4500◦/s. Outdoors the fly was placed in a wooded environment and rot ated on the
stepper motor. In the laboratory the same fly watched a vertic al bar pattern derived
from a one dimensional scan of the natural environment in whi ch the outdoor experiment
was done. This pattern was displayed on a standard Tektronix 608 monitor, with a
rectangular stimulated visual area of 67◦horizontal by 55◦vertical. The pattern moved
at the same settings of angular velocity as were used outdoor s, but the indoor and
outdoor stimuli differed both in average light level and in st imulated area.
Figure 2 shows the average firing rates obtained from the last half second of each
velocity presentation. At low velocities, up to about 20◦/s, the spike rates for both
conditions are not very different, despite the large change i n total motion signal present
in the photoreceptor array. Apparently the fly adapts these d ifferences away (see Brenner
et al, 2000). In both experiments the rate depends roughly logari thmically on velocity
over an appreciable range and this is partly a result of adapt ation as well (de Ruyter
van Steveninck et al, 1986). In the laboratory experiment the motion response pe aks at
about 100◦/s, whereas in natural conditions the fly encodes velocities monotonically for
an extra order of magnitude, its response peaking in the neig hbourhood of 1000◦/s. This
brings H1’s encoding of motion under natural conditions in t he range of behaviourally
relevant velocities. A lack of sensitivity to high speeds ha s been claimed both to be an
essential result of the computational strategy used by the fl y, and to be advantageous
in optomotor course control (Warzecha and Egelhaaf, 1998). These conclusions do not
pertain to the conditions in the outdoor experiment, where H 1 responds robustly andNeural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 9
reliably to angular velocities of well over 1000◦/s.
3.2. Motion detection throughout the day
Figure 3 shows spike train rasters generated by H1 in three ou tdoor experiments,
focusing on a short segment that illustrates some qualitati ve points. Trace (a) shows
the velocity waveform, which was the same in all three cases. The experiments were
performed at noon (b), half an hour before sunset (c), and abo ut half an hour after
sunset (d). Rough estimates of the photon flux in a blowfly phot oreceptor looking at
zenith are shown beside the panels. In all experiments the fly saw the same scene, with
a spatial distribution of intensities ranging from about 5% to 100% of the zenith value.
The figure reveals that some aspects of the response are quite reproducible, and
further that particular events in the stimulus can be associ ated reliably with small
numbers of spikes. More dramatically, the timing precision of the spike trains gradually
decreases going from the noon experiment to the one after sun set. Higher photon rates
imply a more reliable physical input to the visual system. Th e figure therefore strongly
suggests that the fly’s visual system utilizes this increase d input reliability to compute
and encode motion more accurately when the light intensity i ncreases. This statement
is ecologically relevant, as the conditions of the experime nt correspond to naturally
occurring light levels and approximately to the naturally s timulated visual area. To get
a feeling for the spike timing precision in the three conditi ons we can simply look at the
distribution of timing of the first spike generated after a fix ed criterion time (for which
we choose t=0.28 s in (b) and (c) and t=0.30 s in (d)). The jitte r in the spike timing
across different trials has a standard deviation of 0.95 ms in (b), 1.4 ms in (c), and 5.8
ms in (d). The relative timing of spikes can be even more accur ate: the interval from
the first to the second spike fired after the criterion time is 2 .3±0.23 ms in (b), 5.0 ±0.6
ms in (c), and 16 ±2.4 ms in (d). Compared to the rapid onsets and offsets of the sp ike
activity at the higher photon fluxes, the stimulus varies rat her smoothly, which means
that the time definition of spikes with respect to the stimulu s can be much better than
might be suggested by the stimulus bandwidth. An example can be seen in the rather
smooth hump in the velocity waveform at about t=0.43 s, which induces on most trials
a well defined response consisting of a sharply defined pair of spikes.
We quantify these impressions using the information theore tic approach described
briefly in section 2.3. The result of this analysis is shown in Fig. 4a-d, for the three
different experiments discussed above. Figure 4c clearly sh ows that the information in a
30 ms window increases both when the light intensity goes up, and when the spikes are
timed with higher accuracy. The increase in information wit h increasing spike timing
precision is most dramatic for the highest light levels, ind icating that coding by fine
spike timing becomes more prominent the better the input sig nal to noise ratio. A
comparison of figures 4a (total entropy) and figure 4b (noise e ntropy) reveals that the
increase in information content with increasing light leve ls is primarily due to an increase
in total entropy: The neuron’s vocabulary increases in size as its input becomes betterNeural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 10
defined. Figure 4d shows that at the two highest light intensi ties the coding efficiency
is of order 0.5 at time resolution ∆ t=1 ms, increasing slightly for larger values of ∆ t. In
the darkest condition the efficiency decreases markedly for a ll values of time resolution.
The right column of figure 4 compares experiments in which we t ook data both
outdoors and in the laboratory. These data are from another fl y, but the conditions of the
outdoor experiment were similar to those for the first fly at th e highest light level. After
the outdoor experiment the fly was taken inside the laborator y, and the same velocity
stimulus as the one used outside was repeated inside. In the l aboratory, as before, the
visual stimulus was presented on a Tektronix 608 CRT. Photor eceptors facing the CRT
received about 5 ·104photons per second at maximum intensity, a value in between t he
light intensities seen by the first fly in the experiments just before and just after sunset
(grey and black symbols in figure 4a-d). Two experiments were done indoor, one in which
the picture on the monitor consisted of vertical bars with a c ontrast pattern measured in
a horizontal scan of the outdoor scene (filled triangles), th e other a high contrast square
wave pattern with contrast=1, and spatial wavelength=12.5◦(filled squares). From
figure 4g we see that the information transmitted by H1 is much lower in the laboratory
experiments than in the outdoor experiment, due to the small er stimulated area and
the lower light level. Figure 4e shows that the decrease in in formation, as before, is
mainly due to a lowering of the total entropy. The noise entro py also decreases (figure
4f), but not enough to compensate. Somewhat surprisingly, t he experiment with the
high contrast pattern indoors leads to a slightly higher cod ing efficiency than even the
outdoor experiment.
4. Discussion
Outdoor illumination can easily be a hundred times brighter than anything displayed
on common laboratory equipment, and in the outdoor experime nt stimuli extend over
a large fraction of the fly’s full visual field rather than bein g confined to a small flat
monitor. Both effects are relevant for our experiments, as th e higher brightness leads
to higher photoreceptor signal to noise ratios (de Ruyter va n Steveninck and Laughlin,
1996), and as H1’s receptive field covers almost a hemisphere (Krapp and Hengstenberg,
1997). In moving from laboratory to outdoor conditions, bot h effects increase the signal
to noise ratio of the input available for computation of rigi d wide field motion from the
photoreceptor array. The question then is whether the fly’s b rain uses this improvement
in input signal quality to produce more accurate estimates o f visual motion, and/or
increase its operating range of motion detection. Figure 2 s hows that the range of
velocities that are encoded increases markedly when the vis ual input becomes more
reliable.
If the accuracy of information processing is limited by nois e sources within the
nervous system, we should observe a plateau, that is, inform ation transmission should
saturate at some defined level of input signal quality. There is some arbitrariness in the
choice of the level of input signal quality, however: In prin ciple we can surpass any degreeNeural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli 11
of accuracy of the physical input signal by simply increasin g the light intensity, and at
some point the internal randomness of the brain’s component s must become the limiting
factor in information processing. However, statements abo ut the magnitude of internal
versus external noise in sensory information processing ar e primarily meaningful in the
context of reasonable, physiological levels of input signa l quality. Those stimuli that the
animal encounters naturally, taken at the high end of their d ynamic range, would meet
this criterion. For the case considered here the dynamic ran ge refers to light intensity,
size of stimulated visual field, and dynamics of motion. The d ata we recorded outdoors
show no sign of saturation in information transmission when the input signal quality
increases. On the contrary, if we compare the rasters of figur e 3b and 3c, we see that
there is a marked improvement in the timing of spikes, even ov er the highest decade
of light intensity (2 ×105to 3×106photons/s at zenith per photoreceptor). This
improvement translates into a significant gain in informati on transmission, especially at
fine time resolution, as shown in figure 4c. Thus, in computing motion from the array of
photoreceptors, the fly’s brain does not suffer noticeably fr om information bottlenecks
imposed by internal noise, under ecologically relevant con ditions.
In our outdoor experiments, the information content of the s pike train varies
primarily as a result of a varying total entropy (figure 4a). T he noise entropy (figure
4b) appears to be almost constant as a function of light level . One can distinguish
two different ways to increase information transmission thr ough a channel. The first
is to encode the same messages more accurately, the second to increase the variety of
messages, keeping the accuracy of each individual message t he same. The first scheme
implies constant total entropy and decreasing noise entrop y, the second an increase in
total entropy at constant noise entropy. Our data suggest th at as the visual input
becomes more reliable, the fly chooses to increase the vocabu lary of H1 to encode a
wider variety of features of the motion stimulus, keeping pr ecision roughly constant.

Figure legends
Figure 1. Left: Setup used in the outdoor experiments. The fly is in a pla stic tube,
head protruding, and immobilized with wax. A small feeding t able is made, from which
the fly can drink sugarwater. The part of the setup shown here r otates around the
axis indicated at the bottom, by means of a stepper motor. A si lver reference wire
makes electrical contact with the body fluid, while a tungste n microelectrode records
action potentials extracellularly from H1, a wide-field mot ion sensitive neuron in the
fly’s lobula plate. The electrode signals are preamplified by a Burr-Brown INA111
integrated instrumentation amplifier, the output of which i s fed through a slip ring
system to a second stage amplifier and filter and digitized by a National Instruments
PCMCIA data acquisition card in a laptop computer. The part o f the setup visible
in the figure is mounted on a stepper motor which is driven by co mputer-controlled
laboratory built electronics. Right: Occlusion in the left visual field of the fly. The dot
in centre represents the position of the fly. The animal is loo king in the direction of
the arrow and has the same orientation as the fly in the setup at left. The thin mesh
bordered by the heavy line represents the excluded part of th e visual field of the left
eye for a free flying fly (based on Beersma et al. 1977). The heav y mesh represents the
overlap of the left eye’s natural visual field with those part s of the setup that rotate
along with the fly, and therefore do not contribute to a motion signal. The total visual
field of the left eye is 6.85 sr, or 0 .55·4π. The overlap depicted by the heavy mesh
subtends about 1.52 sr, or 22% of the visual field of the left ey e.

ABSTRACT
Wave Universe Concept (WU Concept) opens new wide possibilities for the effective description of
Elementar Objects of Matter (EOM) hierarchy, in particular, of particles, resonances mass spectrum of
subatomic (and HEP) physics.
The special attention to analysis and precise description of wide and important set - transitive states
(resonances) of EOM is payed.
Its are obtained sufficiently precise representations for mass values, cross relations between masses of
wide set objects of particle physics - metastable resonances - (fast moving) transitive states - in terms of
representations of Wave Universe Concept (WU Concept).
Wide set of observed in experiments effects and connected with its resonances (including - Darmstadt
effect, ABC effect,etc.) may be effectively interpreted in WU Concept and described with use of mass formula
- as manifestation of rapidly moving, physically distinguished transitive states (resonances).
DISCRETENESS, COMMENSURABILITY,
QUANTIZATION of WAVE DYNAMIC SYSTEMS (WDS)
According to ideas of Wave Universe Concept (WU Concept) [Chechelnitsky, 1980-1998], (any) arbitrary
real objects of micro (atoms, particles) and megaworld (astronomical systems) represent principally - the
wave dynamic systems (WDS).
In that case the following assertion is valid.
Proposition
# Internal structure, geometry, dynamics, physics of WDS are essentially connected with observated
effects of discreteness, commensurability, quantization of its dynamical parameters.
# That, first of all, relates to discreteness, commensurability, quantization of two sets conjugated values
(parameters)
∗ Sectorial velocities (circulations) L=LN[s],
∗ Keplerian (orbital) velocities v=vN[s].
# Nature "prefers" to manifest (it's activity) at some dynamically, physically distinguished (with most
probability observed) values of dynamical parameters, - first of all, at elite (dominant) values of (sectiorial and
keplerian) velocities.
These special states are the most simple, easily detectable ones - even at preliminary heuristic analysis of
discreteness and commansurability. By its - usually and first of all - having physical intuition researchers
"come across" in their search investigations.
TRANSITIVE STATES (RESONANCES)
Motion Factor
Motion of transitive state (resonance) may naturally arise in framework of following simple intuitive
consideration.
Let some (being a stationary at rest) state - stable particle, for instance, π - meson with (table) mass M,
moves with high ("relativistic") velocity v.
Is that moving object (dynamic system, wave configuration) - the same particle ?
Or it represents arbitary (some another) quasistable state π∧∧ ?
Situation gets out from indeterminancy and doub ts, if we take into account the following important
consequence of WU Concept - the existance of physycally distnguished vN[s] elite (dominant) velocities and
connected with its phenomenon of discreteness, commensurability of elite velocities .
Reality of these circumstances signifies, that particles by virtue of fundamental laws of nature "prefer"
(with most probability) to move (only) with specific, physycally distinguished elite (dominant) velocities v=vN[s].
In such case moving mass configuration, indeed, represents some (quasistable), will be say, the transitive Chechelnitsky A.M. Motion, Universality of Velocities, Masses in Wave Universe.
Transitive States (Resonances) – Mass Spectrum. 2
(moving) state (resonance) π∧∧ with fixed energy, momentum (impulse) and, probable, M∧∧ mass.
"Complex" ("Compaund") States (Resonances). Reconstruction of states
Notion of transitive may be extended at more wide class of objects.
Let some ("complex") state (resonance) disintegrates into a few moving (stationary) states.
Using conservation laws (of energy, etc.) it may be restored, reconstructed the initial "complex"
(occasionally, slowly moving or resting) state (resonance).
For this initial state it may be saved "transitive" term (transitive state, resonance), taking into account the
way of it's reconstruction - by scuttering, moving decay products, with essential regarding for its velocities.
Transitive States (Resonances). Mass Formulae
Using the standard representations of (relativistic) kinematics it is not difficult to receive the
representation for the transitive state (resonance) mass in the form
M = M#(1+z)1/2 = M#(1+β2)1/2, z= β2, β=v/c,
where c - light velocity.
In fact, taking into account the admissible spectrum of v=vN[s] elite (dominant) velocities, this mass
representation converts in following explicit form
MN[s] = M#(1+z)1/2 = M# (1+β2)1/2,
M ⇒ MN[s], β ⇒ βN[s] ⇒ vN[s]/c.
Decay Processes.
Resonance "Reconstruction". Binary Decay
The simplest situation - resonance decay into two identifical with equal m0 masses and equa l P=mv -
momenta (impulses) (m-mass, v-vellocity) - gives a possibility to obtain the simplest representation for the
mass of disintegreting resonance
M = M#(1+z)1/2 = M#(1+β2) 1/2 with M# = 2m0
Of course, similar representation is justify when taking into account all circumstances of decay, that
correspond to conservation of energy law.
Expanding of this approach to more composite cases of decay, in general, is not difficult.
Principally it remains the central moment - accounting velocities of moving particles - of decay products
must be close to physically distinguished v=vN[s] elite (dominant) velocities.
Binary Collisions
In collaiders experiments where collision of identical particles takes places, evidently, it may be expected
the appea rance of transitive states (resonances) in the indicated above sense (as generating by collading,
moving particles).
And then, as in the case of reconstruction by moving components in mass formula, it may be used as M#
the value
M# = 2m0,
where m0 - (table, at rest) mass of collading particles.
Transitive Resonances. Many-Particles Decays
Very wide class of observing in the subatomic world objects (states) is connected with the follwing typical
picture.
The short-living state (resonance) with the effective mass M decays to some more stable - let speek -
stationary states, having the table masses (of rest) mo,i.
If at process of decaing its move with velocities vi (momenta Pi=mo,ivi), than by force of the standard
(relativistic) kinematics it is valid the representation for, let speek, effective mass mi of each component of
decay
m i = mo, i(1+zi)1/2=mo, i(1+vi2/c2)1/2,
where zi = βi2 =vi2/c2, βi = vi/c, c - the light velocity.
Than, by force of mass - energy retaining low, effective mass of initial decaing state (resonance) is equal
M = Σ m i = Σmo, i(1+zi)1/2
By force of close connection such mass with movement of decay products with none-zero velocities
(moreover, this mass is wholly born by movement), let name initial state the transitive resonance.
Binary decays
The most simple and often the decay is, when two identical particles (n=2) with identical velocities are
obtained. Chechelnitsky A.M. Motion, Universality of Velocities, Masses in Wave Universe.
Transitive States (Resonances) – Mass Spectrum. 3
In such case for mass of transitive resonance it is valid the representation
M = 2mo(1+z)1/2
In connection with that it is represntating the possibility of observation of following transitive resonances.
# Di-proton resonances (at mo = mp - proton mass)
M = 2mp(1+z)1/2
# Di-pion resonances (at mo = mπ - pion mass)
M = 2mπ(1+z)1/2
# Di-muon resonances (at mo= mµ - muon mass)
M = 2mµ(1+z)1/2
# Di-electron resonances (at mo= me - electron mass)
M = 2me(1+z)1/2
General Case: Transitive States (Resonances)
Mass Spectrum of Transitive States (Resonances)
The central idea of following examination may be breafly formulated in form of the
Proposition
# Mass Spectrum of transitive states (resonances) is characterized by preferable, physically distinguished
values of mass - it is discrete, (not continuous), commensurable, quantized.
# This discrete mass spectrum is generated by discrete spectrum of preferable, physically distinguished -
elite (most brightly - dominant) velocities - by the Universal spectrum of velocities (of Universe - micro- and
megaworld) vN[s].
This assertion, may be seeming unusual, extraordinary for the ultimate standard theory of particles,
representes as evident and natural in the framework of base ideas of Wave Universe Concept.
VELOCITIES HIERARCHY AND UNIVERSALITY
Hierarchy and Spectrum of Elite Velocities.
The Fundamental wave equation [Chechelnitsky, 1980], described of Solar system (similarly to the
atom system), separates the spectrum of physically distinguished, stationary - elite - orbits, corresponding to
mean quantum numbers N, including the spectrum of permissible elite velocities vN.
It is the follow representation for the physically distinguished - elite dominant velocities vN in G[s] Shells of
wave dynamical (in particular, astronomical) systems [Chechelnitsky, 1986]
vN[s] = C∗[s](2π)1/2/N, s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
C∗[s] = (1/χs-1)⋅C∗[1].
Here
C∗[1] = 154.3864 km⋅s-1 is the calculated value of sound velocity of wave dynamic system
(WDS) in the G[1] Shell, that was made valid by observations,
χ - the Fundamental parameter of hierarchy - Chechelnitsky Number χ = 3.66(6) [Chechelnitsky, 1980 -
1986],
s - the countable parameter of Shells,
N - (Mega)Quantum numbers of elite states,
a) Close to
NDom = 8; 11; 13; (15.5)16; (19,5); (21,5) 22,5 -
for the strong elite (dominant) states (orbits);
b) Close to
N - Integer, Semi-Integer - for the week elite (recessive) states (orbits).
In the wave structure of the Solar System for planetary orbits of Mercury (ME), Venus (V), Earth (E), Mars
(MA), we have, in particular, N = (2πa/a∗)1/2 (a - semi-major axes of planetary orbits, a∗[1]=8R/G7E - semi-major
axis of TR∗[1] - Transsphere, R/G7E - radius of Sun) [Chechelnitsky, 1986]
N = 8.083; 11.050; 12.993; 16.038, close to integer
N = 8; 11; 13; 16.
Taking into account Ceres (CE) orbit and transponated in G[1] (from G[2]) planetary orbits of Uranus - (U),
Neptune - (NE), Pluto - (P), it can be received the general representation for observational dominant N
TR∗ ME TR V E (U) MA (NE) CE (P)
N= (2π)1/2=2.5066 8.083 (2π)1/2χ=9.191 11.050 12.993 15.512 16.038 19.431 21.614 22.235

It may be show, that N = N∗ = (2π)1/2=2.5066 (critical - transspheric value)
and
NTR=χ(2π)1/2 ≅ 9.191
also are physically distinguished (dominant) N values [Chechelnitsky, 1986].
Extended Representation
It is possible, in principle, to examine the following substitution
1/N → ς / N# or N → N#/ς
and to extend formula for elite velocities
vN[s] = C∗[s](2π)1/2(ς / N#), s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
ς , N# - integer.
In this case, for instance, the previouns condition N - semi - integer will be indicated (for the set of integer
numbers) by the condition
ς =2, N# - integer,
and thus, - the substitution N → N#/2.
General Dichotomy
Very close (to discussed above) variant of description of physically distinguished states may be possible
with using of effective approximation, proposing by the General Dichotomy Law [Chechelnitsky, 1992].
Connected with it compact representation for the N quantum numbers have the explicit form
Nν = Nν=0·2ν/2, Nν=0 = 6.5037
that is depended from countable parameter
ν = k/2, k=0,1,2,3,...
It follows to, in particular, exponential, (power) dependen ce for a semi-major axes
aν[s] = aν=0[s] 2ν,
aν=0[s] = a∗[s] (Νν=0)2/2π,
In the some sense - this is the expansion and gene ralization to all WDS of Universe of the well-known
Titius-Bode Law for the planetary orbits.
Such idealazing model representation - the General Dychotomy Law (GDL) - gives approximate, but easy
observed description of the set of distinguished (dominant) orbits.
Universal Spectrum of Elite Velocities in the Universe.
Megaworld and Microworld (Quasars and Particles).
Proposition.
The spectrum of physically distinguished elite velocities vN[s] and quan tum numbers N of arbitrary wave
dynamic systems (WDS) has the some universal peculiarity. It is practically identical - universal (invariant) for
all known observed systems of Universe (of megaworld and microworld ).
In particular, velocities spectrum of experimentally well investigated Solar and satellite systems practically
coincides for observed planetary and satellite - dominant orbits, corresponding to some (dominant) values of
quantum numbers NDom. Thus it may be expected, that spectrum of elite (dominant - planetary) velosities of
the Solar system (well identificated by observations) may be effectivelly used as quite representive - internal
(endogenic) - spectrum of physically distinguiched, well observed - elite (dominant) velocities, for example, of
far astronomical systems of Universe [Chechelnitsky, 1986, 1997] and of wave dynamic systems (WDS) -
elementary objects of subatomic physics.
Quantization of Circulation and Velocity.
We once more repit in the compact form the important conclusion which was obtained in the monograph
(Chechelnitsky, 1980) and repeatedly underlined afterwards.
Proposition (Quantization of Velocities).

Universality of observed, physically distinguished velocities
From the point of view of experimental investigations of real systems of Universe the Law of Universality
of Elite (Dominant) velocities may be briefly formulated as follows
Proposition (Universality of Elite - Dominant Velocities in Universe)
# Detectable in experiments and observations velocities of real systems of Universe - from objects of
microworld (subatomic physics) to objects of megaworld - astronomical systems - with the most probability
belong to the Universal Spectrum of elite (dominant) velocities of Universe.
# This Universal Spectrum of Velocities in the sufficient approximation may be represented in the form:
vN[s] = C∗[s](2π)1/2/N, s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
C∗[s] = (1/χs-1)⋅C∗[1].
General Gomological Series of Sound Velocities
Once more let pay our attention to the hierarchy of sound velocities, that is definded by the recurrence
relation
C∗[s] = (1/χs-1)⋅C∗[1] s=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...
In view of its special important significance and possibility of following generalizations we will name it "The
General Gomological Series (GGS) of sound velocities". By the quality of generative member in that series
essentially it is used, for instance, the
C∗[1]=154.3864 km⋅s-1
- value of sound velocity in G[1] Shell of WDS.
As a matter of fact, this is primary source (eponim) of that series.
Of course, in the role of primary source any member of that series may be used.
Testimony (Evidence) for that is only most knowlege reliability of that value - its experimental
definiteness (determination).
THEORY, OBSERVATIONS, EXPERIMENTS
Two problems will lie in field of our attention below.
# If are known, fixed in observations and experiments any facts, that prove argue a reality of existence of
theory effects of velocities discreteness, commensurability, quantization?
# How much effective, in frame of theory (WU Concept), is the description of mass spectrum of transitive
resonances objects, that are close connected with consequant decay to rapidly moving components?
Phenomenon of Velocities Discreteness
Effects of velocities discreteness in experiments of subatomic phisics, apparently, appeared long ago, but,
indeed, conceptually its were not "observed" till now.
This is the situation, which is typical for science.
Results of experiments, at first, must be comrehended in frame of any theoretical representations, of
arbitrary conceptual expectations in order to that facts, properly, will be taken into consideration.
Otherwise its remain unnoticed and sink in array of suppress by its volume information.
It is very important, that only on the base of some expectation any successful experiments may be
constructed.
This theme is interesting by itself and we hope, may be, to return to it afterwards (later or subsequently).
Let us point out (indicate) only several facts and investigations of last time.
Observations in Space
Quantizations of Velocities and Redshifts of Astronomical Systems
Information about existence of distinguished velocities spectrum most brightly, evidently, (as that often
occur in the history of science) for a long time enters from area of study of megasystem - beside from close -
Solar system [Chechelnitsky, 1980-1998], but from distant - galaxies, quasars [Burbidge, 1967, 1968; Tifft
and Cocke, 1984; Arp et al, 1990; Chechelnitsky, 1997].
In fact, namely in the world of astronomical systems, frequantly, important phenomena in particular
descriptive, unmuddy form are fixed.
The question is about observations of preferable velocities of not only celestial bodies, but also of plasma,
that is high speed particles flows inside astronomical systems. The last is evident from the fact, that the Chechelnitsky A.M. Motion, Universality of Velocities, Masses in Wave Universe.
Transitive States (Resonances) – Mass Spectrum. 6
discreteness phenomena are connected with velocities, that essentially exceed all conceivable admissible
limits of velocities of large celestial bodies.
By such high (subluminal) velocitites only motions of plasma, highenergetic particles may be
characterized.
So, even only on the base of similar facts and its comrehend in the frame of WU Concept we can regard,
that real objects, components of its decay "prefer" to move with some physical distinguished - elite (dominant)
velocities [Chechelnitsky, 1997].
Particles and Quasars
It is interesting to point that above mentioned representation z=v2/c2 describes (in megaworld) the
redshifts of quasars and galaxies [Chechelnitsky, 1997].
It may be shown - this is not accidental coincidence.
Experiments on the Earth
But, it is clear, of course, that it is interesting to detect the effects of velocities discreteness,
commensurability, quantization not so far - in Space, but - in immediate nearness, at a short distance - at the
Earth, in physical laboratories.
Already now, even without of specially oriented, purposeful experiments it may be suggested, that in
physical experiments effects were fixed, which may be interpreted as phenomena of velocities discreteness,
commensurability.
Undoubtedly, this topic deserves of the special investigation in history of science (physics).
Effects of Discreteness, Commensurability in Decay Reactions
"Well forgotten" old. Radioactive decay.
Still the pioneers - investigators of radioactivity remarked a set of interesting peculiarities, by which the
radioactive decay was characterized, in particular, it was remarked [Dorfman, 1979]:
"It was shown, that all α - particles, thrown by one radioactive radiation, have identical run length and
identical for this radiative velocity [Reserford, 1905] ".
In particular, Reserford [Reserford, 1972, p.77] remarked: "We see, that issuing velocity of α-particles of
differ radioactive matters lay in enough na rrow interval, between 1.59⋅109 and 2.25⋅109 cm/s". (P.75): "All
initial issuing velocities of products of radioactive elements lay between 1.59⋅109 and 2.25⋅109 cm/s, that is
the maximal issuing velocity is only in 1.44 times larger than the minimal velocity."
This Reseford observation finds an interesting comment in this discussed approach of WU Concept.
The observating limits of velocities correspond to the dominant values in Shell G[-4], and really are close
to the characteristic value 21/2 =1.414 of such velocities in frames of Generalized Di /G6Bhotomy [Chechelnitsky,
1997].
There are many another important results of interesting.
Such brilliant experiments passed as unremarked by theory, proved to be out of mainstream of
fundamental representations of standard science.
Evidently, generally accepted representations possess by special selection.
We discovered for ourselves the results of such buried experiments, becouse looked for namely these
effects.
One way or another, the effects of velocitites discreteness, commensurability, quantization must appear
itselves in more wide circle of occurrences.
"Unremarked" New
Let us point results only one experiment conducted in Dubna [Avdeychikov, Nikitin, 1987,1988]:
"...In range of low kinematic energy of the Ef - fragment the endow of source with limit velocity β1=0.02c
dominates, in range of high energy - with β2=0.08 c, where c - the light velocity. The pointed values β1 and β2
are characteristic for all z - fragments and energies of a beam."
This observations of experimentators are extraordinary and a'priori - far not evident.
Really, why the whole set of fragments, that essentially differ by charges and energies, must have the
same velocities of issuing?
From the formed standard ("probable") representations such conclusion does not follow.
But in frame of (WU Concept) representations about universality of velocities spectrum - of its
discreteness, commensurability, quantization, presence of physically distinguished states - such effect is
quite expected.
Moreover, it is really correct from the point of view of theory, because of the observated velocities
correspond to the theoretically calculated values
vV[-4] = 0.0774c = 23210 km/s, vV[-3] = 0.0211c = 6330 km/s, Chechelnitsky A.M. Motion, Universality of Velocities, Masses in Wave Universe.
Transitive States (Resonances) – Mass Spectrum. 7
vν=1.5[-4] = 0.0782c = 23448 km/s, v ν=1.5[-3] = 0.0213c = 6395 km/s.
It is not difficult to show also, that the observating velocities concern as β2/β1=4=22, that is its belong for all
that to the velocities set of the Generalized Dihotomy.
It is interesting to mark, that the detected by modern methods physically distinguished velocity β2=0.08c
corresponds to the velocity, that Reserford observed as close to the upper limit of velocities at α - decay.
Another New
It is interesting point, that information about the same velocity v ≤ 0.02 c, generating the e+ e- resonances,
is mentioned in [Koinig, 1993].
Another information [Pokotilovsky, 1993]:
"...Data testify that mass center of probable decaying e+e- system move in center-of- mass of collision ions
with little velocity, not exceeding 0.03 - 0.05 c."
Latent Possibilities of RPP (Review of Particle Physics)
Meanwhile, wide possibilities and reason (cause) for reflections and investigations the most known
compendium of experimental data of Particle Physics (RPP) allows, especially when in it the data
concerning to momenta (impulses) of decay modes of particles were ublished.
Lying at a surface and detecting at purposeful search, the effect of P - momenta (impulses) discreteness
and commensurability (together with masses discreteness) naturally leads to discovery of v - velocities
discreteness, commensurability.
Investigations of Gareev's Group
Recently, to the indicated by the Wave Universe Concept universal effects of (sectorial and Keplerian)
velocities discreteness, commensurability (in micro - and megaworld) Gareev pays special attention [Gareev
et al, 1996]. Possessing by developed physical intuition and conducting wide work with using of RPP
experimental data, Gareev and his co-workers made convinced in validity of expectations of WU Concept
for objects of subatomic world too.
Indeed, in a wide array of particles decays the effect of velocities discreteness, commensurability is
observed, exists, brightly manifests.
Information (in RPP) about experimentally observed P mass momenta (impulses) and connected with its v
velocities opens the possibilities to calculate the potentially virtual masses spectrum of resonances by semi -
empirical way.
Correlation of computations and experimentally known data is impressionable.
In any case, such coinciding is a challenge to the standard theory and a stimulus for further purposeful
investigations.
What is further?
But the heuristic analysis exhausts itself even as the following questions arize:
# From where these physically distinguished velocities?
# What must we do without RPP by the hand - i.e. without information about empirical values of velocities
(of particles decays)?
# Why these velocities, but not another?
# If exist for its (velocities) any theoretical representations?
Answers to these questions the Wave Universe Concept gives, in particular, by the Proposition (Theorem)
about Universality of (physically preferable) elite (dominant) velocities spectrum - for real systems of Universe
(micro - and megaworld).
Integer Commensurability
Simplest integer commensurability of observed in experiments (in RPP) velocities
vi /vj = Nj / Ni N i, N j - Integer
is entirely evident in frame of WU Concept and directly follows from the principal representation for elite
velocities
vN[s] = C∗[s](2π)1/2/N, N - Integer (semi - Integer)
At the Begining of Way
If the history experience learns to something, then it is relevant to note, that with the comprehension (by
a wide circle of physicists - professionals) of real existence of velocities discreteness, commensurability,
quantization effects, the subatomic physics fixes itself at the stage, which corresponds (roughly) to the time
of Roy and Ovenden pub lication [Roy and Ovenden, 1954], concerning world of megasystems.
In that paper at wide material the presence of commensurability in motions of Solar system celestial Chechelnitsky A.M. Motion, Universality of Velocities, Masses in Wave Universe.

bodies is convincingly stated, although separate phenomena was known for a long time [see review at
Chechelnitsky, 1980]. In front of that we yet have much work in theoretical conceiveness and fundamental
comprehension of these phenomena.

We shall bring only some results of calculation and comparision with experimental data.

Mentioned data correspond to states, reconstructed by binary decays.
Transitive (T)G[-5] Shell
Transitive States (Resonances). Spectrum of Masses
In Table 1 are cited the data of theory and comparison its with avialable experimental information for
three families of transitive resonances
# Di - electron Family.
Set of transitive resonanes of this family is generated by mass
M# = 2me = 1.022 Mev/c2,
where me = 0,511 Mev/c2 - electron mass.
Observed in experiments values of resonances masses are taken from [RPP - Review of Particles
Physics; Pokotilovsky, 1993; Ganz et al., 1996 and review Gareev et al., 1996, 1997 (E4-97-183)].
# Di-pion Family.
Masses spectrum of transitive resonances is generated by mass
M# = 2mπ = 279.14 Mev/c2,
where mπ = 139,56995 Mev/c2 - mass of π± - meson.
Experimental data in this range of masses are not known (to us). Calculation is adduced for the
orientation of experimentators.
# Di-proton Family.
Masses spectrum of transitive states (resonances) is generated by mass
M# = 2mp = 1876.5446 Mev/c2,

Transitive States (Resonances) and Multi - Particle Decays
It is possible the analysis and comparison with experiment of transitive states (resonances), which decay,
in general case, in several different particles with mi masses. With this it is used the indicated above
general representation for the M mass of transitive state (resonance)
M = Σ m i = Σmo, i(1+zi)1/2
zi = βi2, βi = vi/c, vi ⇒ vN[s], c - the light velocity.

DISCUSSION
Estimating the situation, which fully formed in connection with known early interpretation of masses, it is
inevitably come to conclusion, that the theory is situated at the very origin of way. It is fully possible, that
discussed above approach will be stimulate more effective advance on that way.
So two directions represent as actual
# Investigations of conformities of elite velocities universality in Universe - in micro - and megaworld,
# Investigations of fundamental conformities of resonances and dynamical spectrum origin.
With respect to resonances spectrum even available by this time new data permit to suggest the following.
∗ Detectable in experiments states (resonances) are not phantoms, fancies,
∗ To its real physics and wave dynamics correspond,
∗ Its place, status, role in order of another, more known states may be comprehended in frame of WU
Concept.
Wide set of observed in experiments effects and connected with its resonances (including - Darmstadt
effect [see review Pokotilovsky, 1993], ABC effect [see review Codina, Plouin, 1994], effects discussed by
Gareev [see review Gareev, Kazacha, 1996; Gareev et al., 1997]) can effectively interpreted in WU Concept
and described with use of mass formula - as manifestation of rapidly moving, physically distinguished
transitive states (resonances).
Purposeful experiments, stimulated by theory, can brighten up many important details of Universality of
elite velocities in the Universe (including - in microworld), and also can broaden the spectrum of observed
resonances.
There are the serious bases to regard, that results of such experiments will be foreseeing and succesful.
The Wave Universe Concept gives such bases.

a confirmation from wind tunnel experiments

Abstract
It is well known that in a neutrally-stratified turbulent flow in a deep constant-
stress layer above a flat surface, the variation of the mean ve locity with respect
to the distance from the surface obeys the logarithmic law (t he so-called “law-of-
the-wall”). More recently, the same logarithmic law has bee n found also in the
presence of non flat surfaces. It governs the dynamics of the m ean velocity (i.e. all
the smaller scales are averaged out) and involves renormali zed effective parameters.
Recent numerical simulations analyzed by the authors of the present Letter show
that a more intrinsic logarithmic shape actually takes plac e also at smaller scales.
Such a generalized law-of-the-wall involves effective para meters smoothly depending
on the position along the underlying topography. Here, we pr esent wind tunnel
experimental evidence confirming and corroborating this ne w-found property. New
results and their physical interpretation are also present ed and discussed.
PACS: 83.10.Ji – 47.27.Nz – 92.60.Fm Boundary layer flows, Ne ar wall turbulence
In the realm of boundary layer flows over complex topography, much effort has been
devoted in the last few years to investigate both the detaile d form of the surface pressure
perturbation arising from the interaction between the shea r flow and the underlying to-
pography (see, e.g., Refs. [1, 2, 3]) and its link with the effe ctive parameters describing
the large (asymptotic) scale dynamics (see, e.g., Refs. [4, 5]). The latter regime is selected
by observing the flow far enough from the surface and, further more, considering solely the
mean velocity. It is thus clear that with this approach all in formation on the dynamics
at smaller scale becomes completely lost.
1Unlike what happens for the large-scale (asymptotic) dynam ics, the description and un-
derstanding of statistical properties of flows at ‘intermed iate’ scales (a regime which we
refer to as “pre-asymptotic”, following Ref. [6]) seems str ongly inadequate. Such regime
actually attracts much attention in various applicative do mains ranging from wind en-
gineering (e.g., for the safe design and siting of buildings ), environmental sciences (e.g.,
for the simulation of air pollution dispersion) and wind ene rgy exploitation (e.g., for the
selection of areas of enhanced wind speed for the economic si ting of wind turbines).
This almost unexplored regime is the main concern of the pres ent Letter. A first step in
the understanding of the pre-asymptotic dynamics has been d one by the present authors
in a very recent work [6], where the analysis of simulations o f Navier-Stokes flow fields
[4] over two-dimensional sinusoidal topographies has been performed. More precisely, in
the case-studies considered, topography takes a sinusoida l modulation of wavelength λ
(along the x−direction, for the sake of simplicity) and amplitude H, its surface having
an uniform roughness z0(with z0<< H ). Here, the dominant process governing the
dynamics is the interaction between the shear flow and the und erlying topography, the
effect of which gives rise to a surface pressure perturbation [2]. Such perturbation has a
depth of the order of Hand a downwind phase shift with respect to the topography. Th e
latter is the cause of a net force on the flow, acting in the oppo site direction of the flow
itself: thus, an enhanced (with respect to the case of flat ter rain) transfer of momentum
towards the surface takes place.
Far enough from the surface, the averaged (over the periodic ity box of size λ) flow will
‘see’ an ‘effective flat surface’ over which the ‘basic’ logar ithmic law (the well known
“law-of-the-wall” relative to flows over flat terrain [7]) is restored but now with larger
(again with respect to the flat case) effective parameters ueff
⋆, andzeff
0[4], on account of the
enhanced flux of momentum towards the surface originated by t he aforesaid shear-flow –
topography interaction.
In Ref. [6], we pointed out for the first time – as far as we know – that at least in the
analyzed WM93 data-set [4], a generalized law-of-the-wall , is observed:
U(x, z) =ueff
⋆(x)
kln/parenleftBiggz
zeff
0(x)/parenrightBigg
for z > H (1)
where Uis the velocity field, xis the horizontal position, zis the height above the terrain,
andkis the von K´ arm` an constant which we will take as 0 .4. Notice that the effective
parameters, ueff
⋆(x) and zeff
0(x), show a dependence on xat scales of the order of λ(i.e. the
flow ‘sees’ some details of the topography and not only its tot al cumulative effects). This
is precisely the pre-asymptotic regime already defined in Re f. [6].
In the present Letter, our main goal will be to provide a first e xperimental assessment
confirming and corroborating the scenario outlined in Ref. [ 6]. In fact, the main trouble
of numerical simulations of Navier–Stokes equations is tha t the impact on the results of
2the closure schemes, through which small scale dynamics is a ccounted for, cannot be fully
controlled [4]. An experimental confirmation is thus desira ble.
To start our analysis, we briefly describe the experimental s et-up relative to the wind
tunnel experiment performed by Gong et alin Ref. [8]. Details on the description of
the wind tunnel facility and the basic data acquisition and a nalysis system are given
also in Ref. [9]. The experiment was conducted in the AES (Atm ospheric Environment
Service, Toronto, Canada) meteorological wind tunnel, whi ch has a working volume of
2.44m×1.83m×18.29m(w×h×l). The wave model consisted of sixteen sinusoidal
waves with wavelength λ∼610mmand through-to-crest height H∼96.5mmand was
placed with its leading edge at distance d∼6.1mdownstream from a honeycomb located
at the downstream end of the contraction region. The topogra phy can be thus considered
as a fraction of the ideal topography described by:
h(x, y) =Hsin2/parenleftbiggπx
λ/parenrightbigg
(2)
where yis the perpendicular-to- x-axis direction coordinate.
Two surface roughnesses were considered, corresponding to the natural foam surface
(hereafter “smooth case”) and to a carpet cover (“rough case ”), respectively. For the
smooth case, velocity profile measurements gave z0∼0.03mm, while for the rough case
z0∼0.40mm. The flow was neutrally stratified and can be considered as a pe rturbation
to a stationary horizontally homogeneous infinitely deep un idirectional constant-stress-
layer flow above a plane surface of uniform roughness, z0. Thus, this basic flow should
have a logarithmic mean velocity profile, U(z) = (u∗/κ) ln(z/z0). The values of u∗were
∼0.43m/sand∼0.62m/sfor the smooth and the rough case, respectively. The free-
stream velocity, U0, at approximately 1 mabove the floor of the tunnel, was set to about
10m/sduring the measurements both in the smooth and in the rough ca se. The bound-
ary layer height, hB, was evaluated to be ∼600mm. The rotation of the flow with the
height, produced in the numerical simulations [4] by the Cor iolis force, is obviously not
present in the wind tunnel experiment and thus the flow is para llel to the x-axis at all
elevations.
Measurements taken over the crests along the hills showed th at the flow reached an
almost periodic state quite rapidly, after the 3rd or 4th wav e. Thus, the perturbed velocity
profiles, U(x, z), were measured at selected downstream locations between t he 11th and
12th wave crests and a very good agreement between the profile s over these two crests
was confirmed. This topography can be thus considered as a goo d approximation to a
two-dimensional topography whose shape is described by Eq. (2)
In order to compare the numerical simulations analyzed in Re f. [6] with the results from
the wind tunnel experiments here shortly described, we used the same approach as by
Finardi et al. [10] and Canepa et al. [11]. Accordingly, noticing that in both cases here
3considered U0∼10m/s, we have kept the speeds (including the friction velocities ,u∗)
unchanged, while the wind tunnel lengths (and times) have be en multiplied by λW/λG∼
1000/0.6096∼1640, where λWandλGare the wavelengths in the Wood numerical
simulations and in the Gong experiment, respectively. With this change of scale, hB∼
1000mandλ∼1000min both cases, while the roughness lengths become ∼0.05m
(smooth case) and ∼0.66m(rough case), to be compared with the value of ∼0.16mof
the numerical simulations. The hill height, H, becomes ∼158m, to be compared with
the values 20 m, 100mand 250 min the Wood numerical experiments.
The first point to emphasize is that logarithmic laws describ ed by (1) are evident also in

The results of the least-square fits are summarized in Fig. 2 w here both profiles
ueff
⋆(x)/u⋆−1 (on the left) and ln( zeff
0(x)/z0) (on the right) are shown as a function of
x/λfor both the smooth (above) and the rough (below) case (differ ent scales in the or-
5dinates have been adopted). Notice that both ueff
⋆(x)/u⋆−1 and ln( zeff
0(x)/z0) have been
fitted with the analytical expression (2), relative to the to pographic profile, but with a
shift of λ/2 (i.e. x/mapsto→x+λ/2 in (2)). More precisely, we suggest the expression:
y(x) =/angbracketlefty/angbracketright −Ay[h(x)/H−1/2] (3)
where y(x) stays for either ueff
⋆(x)/u⋆−1 or ln ( zeff
0(x)/z0),/angbracketlefty/angbracketrightis the average value of y(x)
in the interval (0 , λ) and h(x)≡h(x, y) is the topographic shape given in Eq. (2). It
should be also stressed that we have considered ln( zeff
0(x)/z0) instead of the simpler ratio
zeff
0(x)/z0, because the former parameter is more similar to the topogra phy shape than
the second one.
It is now interesting to put together the new results here obt ained with those of Ref. [6].
This allows to investigate at which degree of accuracy one ca n express the behaviours
of quantities like the average values, /angbracketlefty/angbracketright, and amplitudes, Ay, of these sinusoidal shapes
solely in terms of simple geometrical parameters. Simple co nsiderations suggest to look
at the ratio H/λ: this is indeed a rough measure of the hill slope.

are relative to the Wood and Mason numerical simulations ( u⋆∼0.44m/s,z0∼0.16m);
diamonds are relative to the smooth case ( u⋆∼0.43m/s,z0∼0.05m) and squares are
relative to the rough case ( u⋆∼0.62m/s,z0∼0.66m). Dashed lines represent the linear
curve best-fitting the Wood and Mason numerical data.
dashed lines (a linear fit in H/λ) are obtained considering only the results of numerical
simulations, while the values from the wind tunnel experime nts are reported with their
error bars. These monotonic behaviours are expected on acco unt of the increasing of
the (total) transfer of momentum towards the surface arisin g for increasing slopes. The
amplitudes Ayare shown in Fig. 4. The dashed lines are a parabolic fit in H/λand, as for
/angbracketlefty/angbracketright, they have been obtained by only considering the results of t he numerical simulations.
6The values from the wind tunnel experiments are again presen ted in the same figure.
Curves relative to the amplitudes reach a maximum for H/λ∼0.20, after that start to
decrease. We can argue that two different mechanisms exist an d act in competition. The
physical key role is played by curvature effects [12], alread y invoked in Ref. [6] to explain
the presence of minima (maxima) located above the hill top (v alley) for both ueff
⋆(x) and
lnzeff
0(x). To be more specific, let us consider the two opposite limits H/λ≪1 and
H/λ≫1, from which we can easily isolate the two competing mechani sms. Concerning
the former limit, we have gentle slopes and it is well known th at in this case the flow
closely follows the surface contour. Streamlines are (weak ly) curved and, as pointed out
in Ref. [12], energy is transferred towards the large scale c omponents above the hill tops,
while it blows towards the smaller scales above the valleys. The quantity ueff2
⋆(x), that
is a measure of the energy of turbulence, is thus smaller on th e hill top than above the
valley. Let us increase (just a little bit) H/λ. The flow again closely follows the surface
contour but streamlines are now more curved. As pointed out i n Ref. [12], energy transfer
thus increases and, as an immediate consequence, the same ha ppens for the difference
between the maximum and the minimum of ueff
⋆(x). But this means an augmentation of
its modulation amplitude.
In the second limit H/λ≫1, a further important effect arises due to trapping regions
placed on the downstream hill slopes. It is in fact well known (see, e.g., [13]) that, for
surface slopes large enough, the flow is not able to follow the contour surface and sepa-
rates. In this case, in between two hill crests, the flow is ess entially trapped and, roughly
speaking, streamlines are expunged in the wake region. The d ynamical consequence is
that the flow streamlines are weakly modulated, and this also happens for the shape of
ueff
⋆(x). If we now decrease the ratio H/λ, trapping effects reduce and this means that the
wake can penetrate more deeply in the valley, with the conseq uent increasing of curvature
effects and thus of the ueff
⋆(x) amplitude.
From the inspection of these two limits, it is thus clear that a maximum in the amplitude
should be attained for a certain finite value of H/λ, i.e. when the two competing mecha-
nisms are balanced.
Being the maximum (minimum) of ln zeff
0(x) directly related to the presence of the maxi-
mum (minimum) of ueff
⋆(x) (see Ref. [6] for the discussion of this point) the argument ations
above presented hold also for ln zeff
0(x).
Comparing the values of both amplitudes and mean values of th e effective parameters
extrapolated from the numerical simulations (i.e. from the linear fits in Figs. 3 and 4) and
those from the wind tunnel experiments, we notice that, for t he smooth case, experiments
are always compatible (within the error bars) with the numer ical simulations. This is
not always the case for the rough case. We remark that u∗andz0(relative to the flat
terrain) are closer to the WM93 case studies in the smooth cas e than in the rough case.
This suggest that the expression of both amplitudes and mean values solely in terms of
7geometrical quantities like the ratio H/λis a reasonable approximation for small variations
of the ‘bare’ parameters u∗andz0. When the range of variability of the latter two
parameters increases, an explicit dependence on them has to be taken into account.

For a better evaluation and understanding of the dependence of/angbracketlefty/angbracketrightandAyonH/λ,
z0andu∗, the analysis of more numerical and wind tunnel experiments , and possibly in
nature, is necessary. Nevertheless, the wind tunnel data he re considered give a strong
confirmation of the existence of a pre-asymptotic regime cha racterized by a generalized
law-of-the-wall given by Eq. (1) and pointed out for the first time in Ref. [6]. Thus, this
phenomenon appears as a real physical property and not a spur ious feature produced by
some of the approximations (e.g. parameterizations of smal l-scale, unresolved dynamics)
used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations.
