Abstract
We review the theory of light propagation in moving media wit h
extremely low group velocity. We intend to clarify the most e lemen-
tary features of monochromatic slow light in a moving medium and,
whenever possible, to give an instructive simplified pictur e.
11 Introduction
Waves experience moving media as effective gravitational fie lds. To under-
stand why, imagine a definite example — light traveling in a mo ving trans-
parent fluid such as flowing water [1, 2]. In each drop of the liq uid, light
propagates along a straight line and so each drop distinguis hes a particular
inertial frame. Now imagine light passing from one drop to a n ext one which
happens to move with a different velocity vector. Again, the n ew drop in the
way of the light distinguishes an inertial frame, but this ne w frame will differ
from the previous one. Light traveling in a non–uniformly mo ving medium
is constantly forced to adapt to new inertial frames. An anal ogous situation
occurs in curved space–time when light, and all other matter , experiences
space and time as consisting of connected inertial frames. S pace–time can be
thought as being locally flat, even in the vicinity of the most violent gravitat-
ing objects, yet each local frame is non-trivially connecte d to the neighboring
frames, a connection mathematically described in terms of t he curvature ten-
sor [3]. In a moving medium, the local co-moving frames of the medium play
the role of the local pieces of flat space–time. Because these s pieces differ
in non–uniform flows, light propagation in a moving medium re sembles light
propagation in curved space–time, i.e.the medium appears to light as an
effective gravitational field [4]-[6].
One could conceive of employing moving media for creating ar tificial as-
tronomical objects in the laboratory. For example, water go ing down the
drain of a bathtub appears to light as a rotating black hole. H owever, in
order to observe spectacular effects of general relativity i n laboratory–based
analogues, truly astronomical flow velocities are required . For establishing
a black hole, the fluid should move faster than the speed of lig ht in the
medium ( cdivided by the refractive index n). The chances of creating anala-
goes of black holes are much better when one employs sound ins tead of light
in appropriate supersonic flows [7]-[16]. One of the most fas cinating effects
of black holes is Hawking radiation [17]-[19], the spontane ous generation of
photon pairs near the hole’s horizon where one of the photons falls into the
hole and the other tunnels out of the attraction zone and beco me visible. The
acoustical equivalent of Hawking radiation is quantum soun d in superfluids
[7]-[16]. However, superfluidity tends to break down before the fluid has a
chance to move faster than the speed of sound [20]. Furthermo re, quantum
sound and flow are just two aspects of the same object, the quan tum liquid.
2The flow is the macroscopic and the sound the microscopic moti on. Under
extreme circumstances such as near the horizon of a sonic bla ck hole, a clear
distinction between sound and flow might be difficult. An advan tage of light
in a moving medium is the clear separation between wave and flo w, and both
light and medium can be regarded as separate quantum systems .
Recently, light has been slowed down dramatically [21]-[23 ] due to an ef-
fect called Electromagnetically Induced Transparency [24 ]-[26]. The use of
slow light could open the opportunity for observing the radi ation of quantum–
optical black holes. Note, however, that slow light is a more complicated
phenomenon than light in a moving non–dispersive dielectri c where the re-
fractive index does not depend on the frequency of light. Slo w light is based
on a highly dispersive medium created by dressing the atoms o f the medium
with an appropriate light beam. Instead of the phase velocit y only the group
velocity is reduced. Therefore, it is not always advisable t o conclude directly
from the behavior of light in ordinary dielectrics to the mot ional effects of
slow–light media. It is the purpose of these notes to clarify the most elemen-
tary features of slow light in a moving medium [27] and, whene ver possible,
to give an instructive simplified picture.
2 Dispersion relation
Imagine the medium as being decomposed into drops. Each drop should be
small enough such that the flow does not vary significantly wit hin the size of
the drop, but each drop should be sufficiently large to sustain several optical
oscillations. We thus assume that the wave length of light is much shorter
than the typical scale of changes in the flow. In this case, we c an describe
light by a dispersion relation in the local co–moving frame o f each medium
drop denoted with primes
k′2−ω′2
c2−χ(ω′)ω′2
c2= 0. (1)
The susceptibility χ(ω′) characterizes the medium. In Electromagnetically
Induced Transparency [24]-[26] a coupling beam dresses the upper two levels
of a three–level atom shown schematically in Fig. 1. The dres sing of the
upper two levels influences strongly the propagation of the p robe light with
a frequency that should match the atomic transition frequen cyω0between

induced transparency. A strong drive laser field couples the levels a and

transition a ↔b.
the lower and one of the upper levels. Exactly on resonance, t he medium
decouples from the probe light and becomes transparent, whe reas ordinary
dielectrics are extremely absorbing at atom–light resonan ces. Furthermore,
the susceptibility changes rapidly, see Fig. 2, and, near th e resonance, χ(ω′)
assumes a linear dependence on the detuning between the ligh t frequency ω′
and the atomic frequency ω0,
χ(ω′) =2c
ω0vg(ω′−ω0), (2)
giving rise to a very low group velocity vg. If the slow–light medium is moving
coherently, the motion will slightly detune each atom from e xact resonance
due to the Doppler effect.
Imagine that the flow of the medium, u, varies only in two dimensions
and that the coupling beam propagates orthogonally to the flo w, see Fig
3. In this case we can ignore the first–order Doppler effect of t he coupling
beam and we should focus only on the Doppler detuning of the pr obe. In the
laboratory frame the probe shall be monochromatic at the ato mic frequency
ω0. In the co–moving local frames of the medium the probe–light frequency

to first order in u/c. Let us transform the dispersion relation (1) to the
laboratory frame. We take advantage of the Lorentz invarian ce ofk2−(ω/c)2
and obtain to first order in u/cthe relation

In Ref. [27] a more complicated dispersion relation has been derived which is
correct up to second order in u/c. Note that the relation (4) describes effects
in leading order of u/(vgc)1/2, because the second–order corrections of Ref.
[27] are proportional to v−1
g.

to the coupling beam (grey arrow). This beam prepares the med ium such
that the group velocity of light is significantly reduced. Th e probe beam
(lines) experiences the Doppler detuning due to the moving m edium and
becomes deflected or even trapped.
63 Magnetic model and metric
We are going to use the simplified relation (4) to illuminate t he most char-
acteristic features of slow light in moving media. First we n ote that we can
write the relation as
/parenleftBigg
k+k0u
vg/parenrightBigg2
−k2
0u2
v2
g=k2

Monochromatic light waves with fixed polarization thus obey the wave equa-
tion/parenleftBigg
−i∇+k0u
vg/parenrightBigg2
φ−k2
0u2
v2gφ=k2
0φ . (7)
The flow has a two–fold effect: On one hand, the velocity uappears as an
effective vector potential, for example the magnetic vector potential acting
on an electron wave [28], and, on the other hand, the hydrodyn amic pressure
proportional to u2[29] acts as a scalar potential. This resembles the R¨ ontgen
effect of static electromagnetic fields on polarizable atoms [30, 31].
Alternatively, we can regard the flow as generating an effecti ve gravita-
tional field. To see this, we introduce the four–dimensional wave vector
kν= (k0,−k), (8)
and, adopting Einstein’s summation convention, write the d ispersion relation
(4) as
gµνkµkν= 0 (9)
with the contravariant metric tensor
gµν=/parenleftBigg
1u/vg
u/vg−1/parenrightBigg
. (10)
Four–dimensional wave vectors are null vectors with respec t to the effective
metric gµνand, in turn [1], light rays follow zero-geodesics with resp ect to
the line element
ds2=gµνdxµdxν, dxν= (ct,x). (11)
7The covariant metric tensor gµνis the inverse of the contravariant one, and
is given by
gµν=1
1 +u2/v2g/parenleftBigg
1u/vg
u/vg−1/parenrightBigg
. (12)
In contrast to sound [14] or light in non–dispersive media [1 ], a genuine
event horizon of slow light cannot exist at this level of appr oximation. The
potential existence of an event horizon is thus confined to eff ects to second
order in u/(vgc)1/2which are excluded from our simplified model [32].
4 Non–relativistic analogue
To get more insight into the behavior of slow light in moving m edia, let us
study another analogue. Consider a non–relativistic free p article attached to
moving frames. The particle is supposed to move freely in eac h of the local
frames but is bound to adapt from one frame to the next, simila r to light
in drops of flowing water. However we use pure non–relativist ic physics to
transform from frame to frame. In case the local frames const itute a global
frame, for example a rotating solid body, the particle would move along a
straight line with respect to this frame. In the laboratory f rame, the parti-
cle’s trajectory appears to be bent, attributed to the effect of Coriolis and
centrifugal forces. The Lagrange function of such a fictitio us non–relativistic
particle is
L=1
2v′2=1
2(v−w)2, (13)
up to a constant mass factor that we can set to unity, because w e are inter-
ested in inertial effects only. The velocity of the local inte rtial frames is w
and we have used the non–relativistic addition theorem of ve locities
v′=v−w. (14)
Note that we could apply Einstein’s relativistic addition t heorem of velocities
to describe light in moving non–dispersive media of refract ive index n, but we
should use an effective speed of light of c/nin the theorem. The momentum
of the fictitious non–relativistic particle is
p≡∂L
∂v=v−w (15)
8and the Hamiltonian is
H≡v·p−L=1
2p2−w·p=E . (16)
The important point is that we can translate the Hamiltonian (16) into the
dispersion relation (4) by setting
p=ck
k0,w=c
vgu, E =1
2c2. (17)
with the enhanced effective frame velocity w[33]. Consequently, slow light
experiences the moving medium in the same way as a non–relati vistic particle
experiences moving inertial frames. Excused by its fictitio us nature, the
“non–relativistic” particle would move at an extraordinar y speed reaching c
in regions where the medium is at rest, because the energy is
1
2c2=E=H=1
2v2−1
2w2. (18)
We obtain from Hamilton’s equations,
v=˙r=∂H
∂p,˙p=−∂H
∂r, (19)
the equation of motion of the fictitious particle
˙v= (∇ ×w)×v+1
2∇w2. (20)
The first term describes the Coriolis and the second the centr ifugal force.
5 Light rays around a vortex
Consider a specific example of a non–uniform flow, a vortex. Qu antum vor-
tices in alkali Bose–Einstein condensates have been recent ly made [34, 35].
They give rise to intriguing slow-light phenomena. However , vortices do not
posses genuine event horizons [32] and they will not radiate spontaneously.

and hence we obtain the equation of motion of a particle in an a ttractive r−2

The trajectories of the fall into a r−2singularity are well known in polar
coordinates [36] but here we suggest a more elegant descript ion using the
complex notation of the planar Cartesian coordinates,
z=/parenleftBigg
−ct+ib
µ/parenrightBigg(1+µ)/2/parenleftBigg
−ct−ib
µ/parenrightBigg(1−µ)/2
(25)
with the real parameter band
µ=/parenleftBigg

. (26)
One can easily verify that this solution satisfies the equati on of motion (24).
In the infinite past, t→ −∞ , the trajectories approach
z∼ −ct+ib . (27)
From this asymptotics we see that the light is incident from t he right to the
left with initial velocity cand impact parameter b. Depending on the impact
parameter, the coefficient µis real or purely imaginary. In the case of a real
µwhenW2< v2
gb2the incident light particle will be able to escape, because
the modulus squared of z,c2t2+b2/µ2, will never reach zero, the vortex core.
In the infinite future, t→+∞, the particle will approach
z∼ct(−1)µ+ib=cteiπµ+ib (28)

and, consequently, leaves at the angle πµ. In the case of a purely imaginary
coefficient µwhenW2> v2
gb2the light is sucked into the vortex, because the
modulus squared of z,c2t2+b2/µ2, reaches zero at the time t=−|b/(µc)|. In
practice, the light will hit the vortex core and will bounce b ack. In theory, the
fictitious light particle disappears from this world and rea ppears on another

Light falling into the vortex core describes distinctive sp irals illustrated in
Fig. 4.
Light waves around a vortex
Near the vortex core, rays of slow light feel the presence of t he centrifugal
r−2attraction but no Coriolis force, because the curl of the flow vanishes.
11Light waves, however, will show a distinctive interference pattern, an optical
Aharonov–Bohm effect [39]-[42] due to the long–range nature of a vortex flow.
Far outside the vortex core, light rays are hardly deflected, yet rays passing
the vortex in flow direction will be dragged and those swimmin g against the
current lag behind. This does not affect the ray trajectories but it produces
a phase shift between the dragged and the lagging rays, and, i n turn, creates
a typical interference pattern [41, 42]. Note that the Aharo nov–Bohm effect
of waves in moving media is not restricted to light. Indeed, B erryet al.
[43] have reported and analyzed a beautiful bathtub experim ent with water
waves in a tank, visualizing clearly the interference struc ture generated by
the Aharonov-Bohm effect. A further experiment has been repo rted [44]
showing spiral waves. Acoustical analogues of the effect hav e been observed
in moving classical media [45] and are predicted for superflu ids [46]. The
acoustical effect might even lead to a friction felt by travel ing vortices due to
the so-called Iordanskii force [47]-[49]. The optical Ahar onov–Bohm effect of
slow light [27] can be applied to observe in situ the flow of quantum vortices
in alkali Bose–Einstein condensates [34, 35] using phase–c ontrast imaging
[50].
Consider the propagation of slow–light waves through a vort ex flow. In
polar coordinates the wave equation (7) is

vg. (31)
We could simply eliminate the optical analogue of the vector potential by
representing φas
φ=φ0exp(−iνABϕ) (32)
where φ0feels only the local r−2attraction due to the centrifugal force. The
modulation exp( −iνABϕ) describes the long–range Aharonov–Bohm phase
pattern [41]. Strictly speaking, however, the ansatz (32) i s only justified when
the function exp( −iνABϕ) is single–valued after a complete cycle of ϕ,i.e.
when νABis an integer. For non–integer flux quanta the interference p attern
12is slightly more complicated, showing, most prominently, a line of zeros of the
wave function after passing the vortex (which resolves the p roblem of a multi–
valued phase, because a phase is not defined when the amplitud e is zero).
Even in the case of non–integer optical flux quanta νAB, the modulation
exp(−iνABϕ) accounts for the dominant phase pattern.
The correct positive–frequency component of a slow–light w ave incident
from the right is an appropriate superposition [31]

Figure 5 shows plots of slow–light waves around a vortex to il lustrate the
long–range phase shift brought about by the optical Aharono v–Bohm effect.
Close to the vortex core, a light ray is doomed to fall into the singularity
when the square of the impact parameters, b2, does not exceed W2/v2
g. In
this case the angular momentum mlies in the interval
−2νAB≤m≤0, (36)
because, according to Eqs. (15,17) and the pattern (21) of th e vortex flow,
r×k=r×k0(v−w)/c= (k0b−νAB)ez. (37)
The fall of light rays into the vortex core corresponds to a dr astic change
of the behavior of the corresponding partial waves φm. In the case (36) the
index (35) of the Bessel function in a radial wave (34) is pure ly imaginary.

is incident, yet a small fraction with weight exp( −2iπν) is able to tunnel out
of the attraction zone.
Where is the borderline between pure influx and partial tunne ling out of
the attraction zone? Consider the geometrical optics of a ra dial wave. We

Quite typically, valuable insight into the behavior of wave s can be gained
by analytical continuation to the complex plane of the wave’ s argument.
Consider the line in the complex plane of the radius rwhere the eikonal is
purely imaginary, i.e.where

see Fig. 6. This line is called a Stokes line [52, 53]. When pas sing a Stokes
line, one component of the superposition (40) becomes expon entially small
and hence irrelevant [52]. The asymptotics in the limit of ge ometrical optics
switches from a two–component regime, for example in–and–o ut flux, to a
single component behavior, such as pure influx [52]. The Stok es line in Fig.
6 thus marks the boundary where light is able to tunnel out of t he optical
black hole.

166 Summary
We analyzed the propagation of slow light in moving media in t he case when
the light is monochromatic in the laboratory frame. Slow lig ht is generated
by the electromagnetically induced transparency of an atom ic transition.
The Doppler detuning due to the moving medium generates flow- dependent
effects. We considered analogies to magnetism and general re lativity and
studied light propagation around a vortex in some detail. Th e subject is far
from being exhausted — light detuned from the atomic resonan ce and non–
monochromatic light will behave differently, opening perha ps new exciting
analogies and opportunities for laboratory tests of astron omical effects on
Earth.

ABSTRACT: A key parameter underlying the existence of
sonoluminescence [or ‘SL’] is the time relative to SL at which acoustic
energy is radiated from the collapsed bubble. Light scattering is one route to this quantity. We disagree with the statement of Gompf and Pecha that -highly compressed water causes the minimum in scattered light to occur 700ps before SL- and that this effect leads to an overestimate of the bubble
wall velocity. We discuss potential artifacts in their experimental
arrangement and correct their description of previous experiments on Mie scattering.
In sonoluminescence the first stage of energy focusing is provided by
the collapse of a gas bubble surrounded by water. For example a 40KHz sound field with an amplitude of 1.35atm will cause a helium bubble with an
ambient radius of 4microns to expand to a maximum radius of 29
µ. Since
the bubble contains 6.7x109 helium atoms and is acted on by about 1atm
[=P 0] of ambient external pressure the mechanical energy stored when the
bubble is perched at its maximum radius is about 10.eV per helium atom[1]. 2 Sonoluminescence [SL] is due to some fraction of this potential energy
being transferred into the thermal degrees of freedom of the relatively few atoms/molecules in the bubble as it implodes under the influence of P
0 . For
instance, if all the mechanical energy went into uniformly heating the
helium, its temperature at the moment of collapse [when its radius
approaches the van der Waals hard core of about .4 µ] would be about
75,000K.
A determination of the fraction of potential energy that remains in the
bubble at the moment of collapse is a key aspect of SL. Thus the dynamics
of the collapse is critical to an understanding of SL and so various techniques [2-10] have been applied to the experimental determination of the bubble radius as a function of time R(t) and the response of the water.
Various realizations of Mie scattering [3-10] in particular have proved useful
in obtaining bubble parameters. Mie scattering occurs when variations in the index of refraction cause light to be scattered out of the direction of the incident beam.
In a recent paper [11] Gompf and Pecha [GP] have used a streak
camera to image Mie scattering. In the abstract they claim that “In the last
nanoseconds around minimum bubble radius most of the light is scattered at the highly compressed water surrounding the bubble and not at the bubble wall. This leads to a minimum in the scattered light intensity about 700ps
before the SL pulse is emitted.” They go on to say that “neglect this changes
[sic] leads to a strong overestimation of the bubble wall velocity”.
We disagree with a number of aspects of these statements. The 700ps
interval which GP quote is specific to their particular experimental
arrangement and is unrelated to the physics of a bubble collapsing in highly
compressed water. The stated timing resolution of GP is 500ps whereas by 3 the application of time correlated single photon counting to Mie scattering
we have achieved a timing resolution of about 50ps. In Figure 1 of reference [8] the flash will be seen to occur 100-200ps before
[not 700ps after ] the
minimum apparent radius [i.e. ‘y’ axis], which for our experiment is the
minimum in total light scattering. We agree [8] that light scattering is due to the index of refraction changes at the wall of the bubble as well as the highly compressed water. But in this case, attribution of the Mie scattering
exclusively to the bubble wall would lead to an underestimate
, of its
velocity, not an overestimate , as quoted above from GP. Perhaps our
observation that the flash precedes the minimum in light scattering could be
due to this effect.
On page 5254 GP discuss our previous experiments on Mie scattering
[3,4,5] and state that “In ..former investigations .. the scattered light intensity was assumed to be proportional to the square of the bubble radius which totally neglects the complicated angular distribution of the Mie scattering.” This statement comprises an inaccurate description of past experiments. The
complicated angular distribution can be seen in Figure 6 of [4], which was
taken from our first paper on Mie scattering from SL [3]. One of the steps that enabled us to obtain quantitative information about bubble radii from Mie scattering was to simplify the scattered intensity as a function of R by
collecting light from a large solid angle: such as °−°80 30 [8] or
°−°94 46 [3]. In this case the intensity of light scattering is within 20% of R
2
for bubbles bigger than, .6 microns[8], or 1micron[3]. These corrections and their connection to the “complicated angular distribution of Mie scattering”
were discussed in these papers. A plot typical of calculations that formed the
basis for these corrections was published in ref. [8]. The strong deviations from R
2 Mie scattering displayed in Figure 5 of GP results from their 4 collecting light in a small solid angle [ °−°36 14 ] near the forward direction.
On page 5255 GP state that our papers neglected the effect of changes in the refractive indices. This is true; the index of refraction inside the bubble was
reckoned to unity for the purpose of deconvolving the scattered intensity.
Light scattering techniques have not yet reached the point where changes in the index of refraction, due to say the formation of a plasma, can be extracted. Analysis of our data also neglected the effect of bubble
asphericity [see discussion relating to Figure 6 of ref.5].
The time scale of 700ps enters GP in two entirely different contexts:
1) it is a “pronounced minimum in the scattered light intensity .7ns before the SL pulse due to Mie lobe clusters” and 2) “From this time on most of the
light is scattered at the highly compressed water around the bubble leading
to a strong increase in the scattered light intensity before minimum bubble radius” which is the moment of SL. For the choice of angles over which GP collect scattered light we agree with 1) but emphasize that our choice of angles eliminated this artifactual minimum. Regarding 2) we reiterate our
disagreement with GP’s abstract.
At more than one location in GP it is claimed that “the bubble wall
velocity 1ns before the SL pulse is about 950m/s. This value is much lower than the values found by Weninger et al ”[reference 5 this comment]. First
of all, the bubble wall velocity 1ns before collapse, where R is about 1.7
µ,
is for our data 900m/sec [5]. So it would appear that GP have confirmed our
measurements. Secondly, the 500ps timing resolution of GP means that a 500ps smoothing function has been applied to their rapidly changing data. There can be no question that their value of 950m/s is an underestimate of
the bubble wall velocity in their experiment. Furthermore, a statement
claiming a significant discrepancy between experiments would have more 5 weight if it was accompanied by a discussion of ‘error bars’. The paper of
GP contains no such discussion. We have attempted to give an example of our ‘error’ in Figure 6 of [5]. It has sources in the various processes
discussed above, gas concentration, and also run to run variations.
The data of GP for R(t) cut off at about 1.7microns up to which point
they are largely in agreement with our previously published results[4,5,6]. There remains the issue of whether the bubble wall velocity for some
systems [4,5,6] approaches higher velocities [e.g. in excess of 1200m/s] for
smaller radii. Systems are characterized by the gas mixture used, acoustic frequency and ambient temperature. [For 1%Xe 99%O dissolved at 150Torr driven at 40KHz at 20C, the maximum velocity was actually found to be less
than 950m/s.(8)] In the range
µ µ 5. 7.1 ≈>>cRR ,where R c is the collapse
or minimum radius, GP provide no data for R. They claim that this is due to
the difficulty in subtracting out a large signal due to scattering from highly compressed water. Except for 200ps around the minimum we disagree.
Based upon our experience we propose some possible complications that
affect their experiment in this range; 1) the GP choice of angles leads to Mie lobes that are sufficiently complicated that the intensity of scattered light is not monotonic with radius, so that deconvolution is difficult, 2) as the GP
images are magnified and averaged, small translational motion and
concentric pulsation of the bubble can throw its image off the slit, 3) the level of scattered laser light is less than the intensity of SL obscuring dynamics near R
c. In Figure 1 we show photos of SL from a bubble
undergoing a spontaneous motion on the order of 10 µ. To the eye this
particular bubble appears as stable as a star in the sky. When magnified by a
factor of 10 this motion is enough to throw the image off the entry slit of the 6 streak camera and introduce errors into the data. For integrated Mie
scattering [3,4,5,6] where the width of the incoming light beam [typically 1mm] is larger than this motion and all the scattered light is delivered to a
photo-detector the effects of this bubble motion can be minimized. For this
reason our investigations of imaged light scattering has been carried out on a shot by shot basis. In Figure 2 one sees a very common example of the bubble falling off the slit during that portion of the cycle that surrounds the
minimum by about 1 ns as in GP. In Figure 2 the shrinking bubble is not
centered on slit. It is good news that the action of an audible sound field on water has led to a debate about experimental techniques on the scale of 100ps-700ps.
As the time scale is narrowed it will eventually be possible to determine the
time relative to SL ‘t
a-tsl’ at which acoustic energy is radiated by the bubble.
This is very important because over 90% of the bubble’s potential energy is radiated as sound[1]. If ‘t
a-tsl’ is negative then the average energy per
particle at the moment of collapse is less than 1eV which is not high enough
to explain the UV spectra [4] for a uniformly heated bubble[12]. Indeed if
‘ta-tsl’ <0 the observation of SL would imply an additional energy focusing
mechanism inside the collapsed bubble [13]. Perhaps the nonlinear processes that determine ‘t
a-tsl’ are the key to the existence of SL.

by an external force that is proportional to the transverse
coordinate x, i.e.,Fext=−2Ebk2
β0x, where kβ0=const
is the betatron wavenumber of particle oscillations in the
applied focusing field. For simplicity, we neglect particle
collisions and correlation effects, self-magnetic fields, and
employ an electrostatic model and describe the transverse

collective modes will be launched (depending on the full

lations to cause the beam space-charge distribution to be-
come more uniform for the case of high beam intensities.
The conservation constraints (3) are employed to connect
the parameters of an initial (subscript i), nonuniform den-
sity beam with h/negationslash= 0with those of a final (subscript f),

We numerically solve Eqs. (8) and (9) to plot (Fig. 2)
the growth in rms beam radius ( Rf/Ri) and emittance
(ǫxf/ǫxi) due to the relaxation of an initial rms matched
beam ( R′
i= 0 = R′′
i) with nonuniform hollowed and
peaked density profiles to a final uniform, matched pro-
file. Final to initial beam ratios are shown for hollowing
index of p= 2and are plotted verses the “hollowing fac-
tors”h(hollowinitialdensity)and 1/h(peakedinitialden-
sity) for families of σi/σ0ranging from σi/σ0→0to
σi/σ0→1. Growths are larger for the initially hollowed
profile than the peaked profile and increase with stronger
space-charge (smaller σi/σ0). However, the change in
rms radius ( Rf/Ri) is small in all cases, even for strong
space-charge with strong hollowing ( h→0) and peaking
(1/h→0) parameters. Moreover, the increases in beam

5 DISCUSSION
The modest emittance growth at high beam intensities can
be understood as general beyond the specific model em-
ployed. Even for significant increases in emittance ǫx, the
rms matched beam size is given to a good approximation
by the envelope equation (4) with the emittance term ne-
glected. In this case, R≃√Q/k β0=const during the
beam evolution and hence Rf≃Ri. Employing the
method of Lagrange multipliers, the free electrostatic en-
ergy of the system at fixed rms radius ( R) and line-charge(λ) can be expressed as F=W−/integraltext

A versatile miniature de Broglie waveguide is formed by two parallel current-
carrying wires in the presence of a uniform bias field. We derive a variety of analytical expressions to describe the guide and present a quantum theory to show that it offers a remarkable range of possibilities for atom manipulation on the sub-micron scale. These include controlled and coherent splitting of the wavefunction as well as cooling, trapping and guiding. In particular we discuss a novel microscopic atom interferometer with the potential to be exceedingly sensitive.
An atom whose magnetic moment has projection
/G7a/G6d along an external magnetic field
of magnitude B experiences a Zeeman interaction potential B U/G7a/G6d/G2d/G3d . The associated
force is able to guide weak-field-seeking atoms along a minimum of B. This principle
underlies the Stern-Gerlach effect and the magnetic hexapole lens, which have played such important roles in the history of atomic beams. Magnetic forces are now a central feature of atom optics – the subject of manipulating, confining, and guiding cold neutral atom clouds and Bose-condensates [1, 2, 3]. 2Recently there has been great interest in building miniature magnetic structures where
small features make a strong field gradient, while a superimposed uniform bias field makes a zero whose position is adjustable [4]. This idea has been realized in several laboratories, using either supported wires [5, 6, 7], printed circuits [8, 9, 10, 11, 12] or microscopic patterns of permanent magnetization [13]. Miniature guides are attractive because they offer the possibility of propagating de Broglie waves in a single transverse mode in 1D [14] or 2D [15]. This is a central goal of many experimental groups because it is required for achieving atom interferometry with guided de Broglie waves. Miniature structures are also promising for studying the physics of quantum gases confined to less than 3D [16]. In this letter we discuss the guide formed by two wires carrying parallel currents I spaced
A2 apart in the presence of a bias field, as illustrated in Fig. 1. We
point out that the guide is far more adaptable than previously realized [9,10], deriving simple formulae for the various configurations it can produce. We present a quantum theory to show how the guide can be used to manipulate atoms on the sub-micron scale, to make a controlled and coherent splitting of the wavefunction, and to realize a novel atom interferometer.
Let us adopt the natural units of
A for lengths, A I B /G70 /G6d 2/0 0/Gba for magnetic fields,
and 0B/G7a/G6d for energies. Dimensionless quantities based on these units are indicated by
lower case letters, e.g. 1/G3dx means A X/G3d. With this scaling the magnetic field
produced by the current-carrying wires in Fig. 1 has Cartesian components 32 2 2 22 2 2 2

On the y-axis, 0/G3dyb and the field produced by the wires is xb. This has a single
maximum of 1 /G3dxb at height 1/G3dy as shown in Fig. 2. The addition of a bias field
1/G3c/G62 (in normalized units) along the positive x-direction cancels xb at two positions,
indicated for 2/1/G3d/G62 by the circles in Fig. 2. For weak-field-seeking atoms, these
zeros form guides parallel to the z-axis (a small field may be added along the z-
direction to suppress non-adiabatic spin flips, although states without angular momentum around the guide axis can be stable without it [14]). The inset in Fig. 2 shows the dimensionless guiding potential
u. The barrier between the two guides is
/G62/G2d1 , while the barrier above the upper guide is /G62. As the strength of the bias field
is increased, these zeros approach one another until they coalesce to form a single
guide at height 1/G3dy when 1/G3d/G62 . Further increase of the bias splits the guide
horizontally and the zeros follow the circle 12 2/G3d/G2by x (Fig. 1). In the first two rows
of Table 1 we present simple formulae giving the guide centers ) ( 0 0,yx and trap
depths 0u in each of the three bias field regimes.
Fig. 3a shows the interaction potential u and the field lines for 8.0/G3d/G62 . The trap
centered on 2/1/G3dy is smaller and 4 times stronger than the upper one at 2/G3dy (the
ratio of gradients is always the inverse of the ratio of heights). Each guide is
cylindrically symmetric over a limited region around its center, and has a constant 4potential gradient, a characteristic of the quadrupole symmetry evident in the field lines.
We note that the fields are oppositely directed in the two guides. At the two bottom corners, the field can be seen circulating around the current-carrying wires, which are taken in this diagram to be of negligible radius. Figure 3b shows the potential and field lines for the single guide, formed at the critical bias. Here the linear gradient vanishes:
the guide is harmonic with curvature 1 /
2 2/G3d/Gb6 /Gb6 /G72u and the corresponding hexapole
symmetry can be seen in the field lines. At higher bias field the potential splits laterally
into two quadrupole guides as illustrated in Fig. 3c for 5.1/G3d/G62 . Simple formulae for the
gradients are given in the last row of Table 1.
If we allow the bias field to have a component in the y-direction, many other
possibilities open up, one of which is particularly relevant, as we will see below. Let us
apply both the critical bias 1/G3d/G62 along x, and an extra bias of magnitude /G62/G44 at angle /G4a
to the x-axis. When 1/G3c/G3c/G44/G62 , the potential splits into two guides separated by a distance
/G62/G4422 , and the line joining their centers makes an angle 2//G4a with the x-axis. Thus,
when the extra bias field is rotated the two guides orbit around the coalescence point at
half the frequency.
Each of the three regimes of bias field has interesting features to offer for atom optics
experiments. To take a concrete example, consider a guide with a 300 /G6dm spacing and
2 A flowing in the wires, for which the characteristic field and gradient are B0 = 2.7 mT
and B0/A = 18 T/m (s uch a structure already exists in our laboratory). With a weak bias
field of 0.3 mT ( 1.0/G3d/G62 ), the upper guide is centered 3 mm ( /G62/2A ) above the wires
and has a field gradient of 0.1 T/m ( AB/02
21/G62 ). This is very well suited to operate as a 5magneto-optical trap (MOT) with two pairs of suitably polarized light beams in the x-y
plane, propagating along axes rotated by 45º from the x- and y-axes. For the purpose of
initially collecting atoms in the MOT, a pair of auxiliary coils can create a field gradient along the
z-direction, allowing a third pair of light beams to produce MOT confinement
along the z-axis. The MOT can be lowered and compressed to a maximum gradient of
4.4 T/m ( AB/0 41) by increasing the bias field to 0.23 mT ( 2/30B ). At this point the
light can be turned off and the auxiliary coils producing the field gradient along the z-axis
can be switched to produce parallel fields. This makes a purely magnetic Ioffe-Pritchard trap, where weak-field-seeking atoms can be left in the ground state by evaporation. Alternatively, if a cold dense sample of atoms is already available in a macroscopic
magnetic trap, as for example with a Bose-Einstein condensate, a single mode of the
upper guide can be loaded in a “mode-matched” way by suddenly switching off the trap
and turning on the guide with I,
/G62 and a z-bias field chosen to duplicate the original trap
spring constants. In either case, a subsequent adiabatic variation of the field can bring
atoms to the coalescence point of the guide, where the potential is harmonic and the
transverse frequency 0/G77 is given by 022
0 B A m/G7a/G6d /G77 /G3d . This has the value 1 3s108.2/G2d/Gb4 for
the particular guide we are considering here. The ground state size 0 //G77 /G73 m/G68/Gba is
512 nm.
Suppose now that the atoms have all been prepared in the transverse ground state of
the harmonic guide. An increase /G62/G44 of the bias field deforms the guide potential into a
symmetric double well, providing a highly controlled and reproducible 50:50 coherent
splitter for the de Broglie wave. If the two halves of the atom cloud are held apart for some length of time they may act as the arms of an interferometer. In order to understand 6the operation of this interferometer in more detail, we have calculated the eigenmodes of
the guide numerically by solving the two-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation with the spin degree of freedom adiabatically eliminated. We start with the
eigenstates
)},{(y xnn of a harmonic potential, then slowly deform the potential to obtain
the corresponding eigenstates of the Hamiltonian /G48 for the 2-wire guide at the critical
bias 1/G3d/G62 . Next we slowly vary the bias field to find how the three lowest eigenstates
and their energies /G48 evolve as a function of /G62. We assume that the atom density is
low, although of course the mean field interactions at higher density should produce
interesting non-linearities and physics beyond the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
Figures 4 and 5 show the eigenstates and their energies, labeled by the quantum
numbers ),(y xnn which count the number of nodes along x and y. At the critical bias,
the spectrum is (almost) harmonic with the )0,0( state lying 0/G77/G68 below the nearly
degenerate pair of first excited states )0,1( and )1,0( (a small anisotropy of the guide
prevents exact degeneracy). An increase /G62/G44 of the bias splits the guide and the single-
peaked )0,0( state deforms adiabatically into a double-peaked wavefunction with even
reflection symmetry in the yz-plane. As long as it is not perturbed, this of course returns
to the harmonic ground state when /G62 is restored to 1. If, however, a differential phase of
/G70 is introduced between its two peaks while 1/G3e/G62 , the wavefunction becomes a yz-
antisymmetric function, which we recognize in Fig. 4 as the )0,1( state. When 1/Gae/G62
this evolves adiabatically into the first yz-antisymmetric excited state of the harmonic
guide. For arbitrary phase shifts the final state of the harmonic guide is a superposition
of )0,0( and )0,1( . Thus symmetry dictates that the two output ports of the 7interferometer are two different vibrational states of the harmonic guide. The third state
)1,0( in Fig. 4 is even under reflection in the yz-plane, like the ground state, but it has a
vibrational excitation in the y-direction. This excitation is preserved as the bias increases
and consequently the energy lies approximately 0/G77/G68 above )0,0( .
It is also interesting to consider decreasing the bias to 1/G3c/G62 . The interferometer
states )0,0( and )0,1( both emerge in the upper guide, with )0,1( having one quantum of
excitation along the x-axis. The )1,0( state however, goes into the ground state of the
lower guide (Fig. 4).
Now we turn to the practical aspects of the interferometer. One can estimate the
minimum /G62/G44 needed to achieve splitting, min/G62/G44 , by setting the displacement of the wells
equal to the ground state diameter /G732. To lowest order the result can be expressed in the
elegant form 0 02 2
min / 2 /2 B A/G7a/G6d/G77 /G73 /G62 /G68/G3d /G3d /G44 , which for the guide in our example
amounts to a change of 64 nT in the bias field. Achieving this level of control over the
field would require some care but it is not a major technical challenge. When /G62/G44 is
increased further, the splitting between the )0,0( and )0,1( levels becomes exponentially
small (Fig. 5), being equal to the tunneling frequency between the left and right potential
wells. As the bias changes, one wants to avoid non-adiabatic transitions induced by
t/Gb6 /Gb6//G48 . This operator, being symmetric under reflections in the yz-plane, cannot excite
the yz-antisymmetric state )0,1( , but it does connect the ground state to )1,0( . Since this
and the other coupled states are at least 0/G77/G68 away in energy, the adiabatic condition is
that /G62/G44 must change slowly in comparison with the period of harmonic oscillation 0/1/G77
(over several milliseconds for the guide in our example). Once the atoms are split, the 8antisymmetric perturbation to be measured is turned on. As is usual in interferometry,
this interaction has to be non-adiabatic to mix the states )0,1( and )0,0( (i.e. to introduce
a phase shift /G6a2 between the left and right wavepackets) and must therefore be turned on
and off in times much less than the tunneling period. This is not a stringent requirement
since the tunneling can be made arbitrarily slow by a modest increase in /G62/G44. Finally,
reducing /G62/G44 to zero, it remains only to read out the fringe pattern through the population
in state )0,0( [ )0,1( ], which is proportional to /G6a2cos [ /G6a2sin ].
In principle the readout can be done by absorption or fluorescence imaging to
determine the atom distribution in the guide, although this method requires high spatial
resolution. Alternatively, there are at least two methods for separating the )0,0( and
)0,1( populations. First, if the guide is operated without any axial bias field and /G62 is
reduced below 1 to extract both states in the upper quadrupole guide, the excited state
)0,1( will be lost due to spin flips [14], leaving the )0,0( population to be measured by
fluorescence. Second, the additional bias field /G62/G44 can be rotated adiabatically from the
xˆ direction to xˆ/G2d before reducing its amplitude to zero, thereby transforming state )0,1(
into )1,0( . This leaves the output of the interferometer as a superposition of )0,0( and
)1,0( in the harmonic guide, which can be read out by reducing /G62 so that the )0,0(
component moves into the upper guide while the )1,0( part is transported downward.
In an interferometer the statistical signal:noise ratio is proportional to the interaction
time /G74and to the square root of the number of atoms N. We can easily imagine 106
atoms trapped in the waveguide with a measurement time of ~10 s, giving 410/G3dN/G74 .
In comparison a macroscopic cold atom interferometer of the Kasevich-Chu type [17] has 9108 atoms falling through the apparatus per second with an interaction time of order
30 ms, giving 310/G3dN/G74 over the same 10s. Both interferometers have a separation of
~100 /G6dm between arms. It therefore seems clear that this method of splitting the atoms in
time, rather than splitting atoms propagating through space, can significantly advance
some kinds of measurement. For example, the new interferometer would be extremely sensitive to electric field gradients and to gravity. Also, it would not suffer from phase shifts due to unwanted rotations because the Sagnac phase is zero.
In conclusion, we have shown that two currents and a bias field form an exceedingly
versatile structure, producing a waveguide that can be split in a highly controlled way and manipulated on the sub-micron scale. We have shown explicitly how a novel and sensitive atom interferometer could be realized with such a guide. This structure is also ideal for a variety of topical applications including a miniature magneto-optical trap and the study of 1-dimensional quantum gases. Finally, the quantum model of guided atom interferometry presented here will apply to many existing experiments once they reach the level of single-mode operation.

Abstract
ThedesignoftheproposedlinearcolliderTESLAisbased
on9-cell1.3GHz superconductingniobiumcavities, oper-
atedin pulsedmode[1]. Withintheframeworkofaninter-
national collaboration the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) has
been set up at DESY, providing the infrastructure for cav-
ity R&D towardshigher gradients[2]. More than 60 nine-
cell cavities were tested, accelerating gradients as high a s
30 MV/m were measured. In the second production of
TTF-cavitiestheaveragegradientwasmeasuredtobe24.7
MV/m. Twomodules,eachcontainingeightresonators,are
presently used in the TTF-linac. These cavities are oper-
atedinpulsedmode: 0.8msconstantgradientwithupto10
Hz repetitions rate. We will focus on two aspects: Firstly,
the cavity fabrication and treatment is discussed, allowin g
to reach high gradients. Latest results of single cell cavi-
ties will be shown,going beyond40 MV/m. Secondly,the
pulsed mode operation of superconducting cavities is re-
viewed. This includes Lorentz force detuning, mechanical
vibrations (microphonics) and rf field control. Both top-
ics meet the upcoming interest in superconducting proton
linacs, like the sc driverlinac for SNS (SpallationNeutron
Source).
1 INTRODUCTION

performanceand reliability of a superconductinglinac op-
eratedinpulsedmode. Theinfrastructureforthetreatment ,

is done at the TTF-linac [2]. In a first step the design
goal for the cavities of the TTF-linac was set to the value
Eacc=15 MV/m. The aim was to gradually approach
the acceleratinggradientof 22MV/mrequiredforTESLA
with acentre-of-massenergy Ecm= 500GeV [3].

vertical and the horizontal tests are quite similar as shown
in Fig. 4. In a few cases the performance was reduced in
the horizontal test due to field emission. In other cavities
the maximum gradient was improved by the fact that the
cavites are operated in pulsed mode instead of the cw op-
eration in the vertical test. These results demonstrate tha t

2.3 CavityPerformanceintheTTF-Modules
Eight 9-cell cavities, each with its own helium vessel and
main power coupler, are assebled in a string in the clean-
room. The cavity string is than installed in a cryo-module.
Up to date four accelerator modules have been built, three
of them have been tested in the TTF linac (the third one
replaced module #1). The cavities in the modules are op-
eratedinpulsedmode: 0.8msconstantgradientwith upto
10 Hz repetitions rate (see Fig. 7). Due to the fact that all
cavities of a module are operatedat the same gradient, the
performanceof a moduleis limitted by the cavity with the
lowest performance. The measured average gradient was
16 MV/m, 20 MV/m and 22.5 MV/m for the modules #1,
2 and 3, respectively. The module #4 has been equipped
with cavities, that have shown a performanceof Eacc≥25
MV/m intheverticaltest.
3 CAVITY R&D
The single-cell cavity R&D program focuses on possible
simplifications in the cavity production and treatment
and on pushing the cavity performance towards higher
gradients. For a possible energy upgrade of TESLA to
Ecm= 800 GeV the performance of the cavities has to be
pushed closer to the physical limit of 50-60 MV/m. This
limit isdeterminedbythepropertiesofthesuperconductor
niobium. However, in the present 9-cell cavities, the
maximum gradient is limited at lower gradients by three
maineffects:
•thermalinstabilities(quenches)
•fieldemissioncurrents
•decreaseofthequalityfactorwithoutindicationof
fieldemissionat 25-30MV/m.
The first limitation can be caused by defects in the
material or weld. Therefore the sensitivity of the eddy
current scanning apparatus was improved significantly fora better diagnostic of niobium sheets with tiny defects
[5]. In order to raise the onset of field emission further,
effortsare undertakento improvethe highpressurerinsing
system and the particle control during the assembly in the
cleanroom [6]. The third limitation is not well understood
yet but measurements on electropolished superconducting
cavities have demonstrated, that electropolishing (EP) ca n
overcomethislimit.
3.1 ElectropolishedCavities
In a collaboration between KEK and Saclay it has been
shown convincingly that EP raises the maximum acceler-
ating field in 1-cell cavities by more than 7 MV/m with
respect to the standard buffered chemical polishing [7].
Therefore in a joined effort between CERN, DESY, KEK
and Saclay a electropolishing system for 1-cell cavities
has been set up at CERN for further investigations. Us-
ing the KEK-style electropolishing, very high gradients
around40 MV/m have been achievedin several 1-cell res-
onators, as shown in Fig. 5. Interestingly also this cavitie s

erate temperature ( ∼100◦C). However, experiments have
shown that in-situ baking at moderate temperature drops
RBCSby a factor of 2, significantly reduces the Q-slope
andimprovesthemaximumgradientsinEP cavities[8,9].
Presently it is unclear, why this bakeout seems to be more
efficient on EP cavities thanon BCP cavities. It isremark-
able, that the high performance of electropolished 1-cell
cavities is achieved without high-temperature (1400◦C)
treatment, normally done to improve the niobium quality.

3.2 HydroformedCavities
The development of seamless cavity fabrication was mo-
tivated by the potential of cost reduction, but recent tests
have shown, that seamless cavities are also promising toreach highest gradients. Presently two methods of cav-
ity fabrication without welding are studied: spinning [10]
andhydroforming[11]. Thehydroformingofcavitiesfrom
seamless niobium tubes is being pursued at DESY. Four
1-cell cavites have been successfully built so far. Af-

3.3 Superstructure
Theconceptofthesuperstructurehasbeenproposedforthe
TESLA main linac, aiming to reduce the spacing between
the cavites and to save in rf components[12]. In this con-
cept several multi-cell cavities are coupled by short beam
tubes. The whole chain can be fed by one FM coupler at-
tached at one end beam tube. The superstructure-layout
is extensively studied at DESY since 1999. Computations
have been performed for the rf properties of the cavity-
chain, the bunch-to-bunch energy spread and multibunch
dynamics. A copper model of a 4 x 7-cell superstructure
hasbeenbuiltinordertocomparewiththesimulationsand

scheme [13]. A ”proof of principle” niobium prototype of
the 4x 7-cellsuperstructureis nowunderconstructionand

4 PULSED OPERATIONOF
SUPERCONDUCTING CAVITIES
ThesuperconductingcavitiesattheTTF-linacareoperated
in pulsed mode. The pulse structure of the rf power and
the beam is shown in Fig. 7. The rf pulse length is 1300
µs from which 500 µs are required to fill the cavity.

equallydesirabletocontrolthefieldduringfillingtoensur e
proper beam injection conditions. The pulsed structure
of the rf field and the beam current puts demanding
requirementsontherfcontrolsystem. Therearetwomajor
sourcesoffieldperturbationsin asuperconductingcavity:
•beamloadingandfluctuationofthebeamcurrent
•modulationofthecavityresonancefrequency.
The resonance frequency is modulated by deforma-
tions of the cavity walls induced by external mechanical
vibrations (microphonics) or by the time dependent
Lorentz force, see Fig. 7. The resulting amplitude and
phase perturbations are in the order of 5 %and20◦, re-
spectively. These errorsmust be suppressed by one to two
orders of magnitude by the rf control system. Fortunately,
the dominating perturbations (Lorentz force detuning and
beam loading) are highly repetitive from pulse to pulse.
Therefore they can be reduced by use of feedforward
compensation significantly. The feedforward control is
optimized continously by making the feedforward system
adaptive [15]. The remaining non repetitive errors can be
suppressedbyfeedbackcontrol.
4.1 RFFieldControl
The two modules installed in the TTF-linac are supplied
withrfpowerbyone10MWmulti-beamklystron. Ampli-
tudeandphasecontrolcanbeaccomplishedbymodulation
of the incident rf wave which is common to the 16 cavi-
ties. Therefore control of an individual cavity field is not
possible, but the sum of the electric field vectors of all 16
cavitiesisregulatedbyadigitalrfcontrolsystem[16]. Th e
layoutoftheTTFdigitalrfcontrolsystemisbasedoncon-
trolling the real and imaginary part of the complex vector
sum, as shown in Fig. 8. The rf control system is realized

ity achievedattheTTF linacismainlyduetothelowlevel
offast fluctuations,like microphonics.
4.2 Microphonics
Externalmechanicalvibrationscanchangetheshapeofthe
cavity and thereby the eigenfrequency of the cavity. This
results in an amplitude and phase jitter of the accelerating
field. Superconductingcavitiesaresensitivetomicrophon -
ics due to the thin wall thicknessand the small bandwidth.
The rms microphonics frequency spread, measured in 16
cavities of the TTF-linac, is 9.5 ±5.3 Hz and thus surpris-
inglysmallforasuperconductingcavitysystem. Thespec-
trum of this frequency fluctuations is dominated be a few
frequencies.
4.3 Lorentz-ForceDetuning
The resonance frequency of pulsed cavities is modulated
by the time-varying Lorentz force within the rf pulse, see
Fig. 7. The dynamic Lorentz force detuning is correlated
with the pulsed rf field and is depending on the mechani-
cal propertiesof the cavity. The steady state Lorentz force
detuning at constant accelerating gradient Eaccis propor-
tional to the square of the gradient: ∆f=−K·E2
acc.
The TTF cavities have been designed for a steady state
detuning constant K=1 Hz/(MV/m)2. This quadratical
dependence is also reflected in the dynamic Lorentz force
detuning during the rf pulse. Figure 9 shows the fast in-
rease of the dynamic frequency shift at high flat-top gra-
dients. Preliminary measurements at CHECHIA and the
TTF-linac indicate, that the dynamic detuning during the
flat-top rangesform ±120Hz (total drift 240 Hz) to ±300
Hz at thedesigngradientforTESLA500. The correspond-
ing additional rf power required to maintain a constant
accelerating field during the flat-top amounts to ∼5%to
∼30%. Giventhattheextarfpowerforcavityfieldcontrol

4.4 Active Compensation of Lorentz-Force De-
tuning
In case that the present passive stiffening of the TTF cav-
ities does not limit the additional power to 10 %, it will be
necessary to increase the stiffening (e.g. by copper spray-
ing [18]) or to implement a fast active frequency control
scheme. A solution for a fast frequency tuner could be
basedonpiezotranslators. Thepiezotranslatorwouldallo w
for a fast frequency tuning within the rf pulse to compen-
sate the detuning induced by the Lorentz force. A proof
of principle experiment of this compensation with a fast
piezotunerhasbeenconductedsuccessfullyatthehorizon-
tal test stand at DESY [19], see Fig. 10. Such a system

The presented results demonstrate the availability of the
superconducting technology for the 500 GeV linear col-
lider TESLA. The TTF 9-cell cavities are now routinely
reaching the TESLA requirementsof 22 MV/m. The third

TESLA design gradient. The technology needed for the

We demonstrate that the shift of the stop band position with increasing oblique angle in periodic structures results in a wide
transverse exponential field distribution corresponding to strong angular confinement of the radiation. The beam expansion
follows an effective diffusive equation depending only upon the spectral mode width. In the presence of gain, the beam cross
section is limited only by the size of the gain area. As an example of an active periodic photonic medium, we calculate and
measure laser emission from a dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal film.
PACS numbers: 42.70.Qs, 42.70.Df
Photonic band gap materials hold promise as a platform for a new generation of efficient, compact
photonic devices. The initial excitement generated for these materials has been sustained by the discovery of
new physical effects leading to new applications [ 1]. In this Letter, we present an unexpected conjunction of
strong expansion of the region of phase coherence within the medium and weak divergence of the output
beam, which is made possible in a photonic stop band structure. Our calculations show that a diffusion-like
spreading of the coherent field leads to wide area lasing at the edge of a photonic stop band or at a localized
state in the middle of the stop band. These results are supported by measurements of the spatial profile of laser
emission from a promising organic material – a dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal [ 2, ,3]. Since the maximum
excitation energy is proportional to the laser area, large-area thin-film devices provide a new approach for high-
power lasers. These enables lightweight optical sources for free-space communications, coherent backlighting
for 3-D holographic and projection displays, and therapeutic irradiation of large areas of skin.
Periodic dielectric materials in one, two or three dimensions may possess a gap in the photon density of
states in the corresponding number of dimensions [1]. In 3-D periodic structures with sufficient modulation in
the dielectric function, a full photonic band gap may appear in which spontaneous emission is suppressed.2Disturbing the periodicity of an active crystal introduces long-lived localized modes into the photonic band gap
at which lasing is facilitated. Though lasing has not yet been observed in 3-D periodic structures, the enhanced
photon dwell times and microcavity effects in localized states have suppressed the laser threshold in lower
dimensional periodic systems. Unlike lasers based on Fabry-Perot resonators, the band-edge and defect modes
of 1-D structures are significantly separated from adjacent modes and have narrower linewidth than other
modes. They may therefore operate as single mode lasers over a significant power range. The shift of the band
gap with oblique angle at the band-edge frequency only permits the propagation of light with k-vector
components near the normal. Unlike conventional spreading of light between two mirrors, which requires
oblique k-vector components (Fig. 1a), photonic band structures lead to enhanced spreading of light with only
near-normal k-vector components (Fig.1b).
It would appear that the best candidate for a 1-D periodic structure, for large area lasing would be a
vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) [ 4]. But high order transverse modes arise [ 5] in small-diameter
VCSEL, while in large-diameter VCSELs spontaneous filamentation results from structural nonuniformities [ 6].
Another class of periodic one-dimensional structures, which have recently been produced as macroscopic single
domain materials, is that of self-organized polymeric cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) [ 7]. Lasing at the edge of
the stop band of CLCs has recently been demonstrated [2] and here we will specifically consider measurements
and simulations of these materials.
The molecular director in cholesteric structures lies in a molecular plane and executes a helical rotation
perpendicular to the planes. A stop band centered at a wavelength in the medium equal to the helical pitch P is
created for waves propagating along the helical axis. Optically pumped lasing in dye-doped CLCs occurs at the
first mode at the edges of the stop band at vacuum wavelengths of neP or noP, where ne and no are the
extraordinary and ordinary indices of refraction, respectively. The narrowest mode in CLCs is the first mode on
the high frequency side of the band, which is composed of two counterpropagating components travelling
normal to the layers of the structure and has an electric field everywhere aligned with the lowest index axis of
the optical indicatrix. Consequently lasing generally occurs only in this mode slightly above threshold. For off-
normal incident radiation, the gap shifts to higher frequency, placing oblique waves at the frequency of the
lasing mode inside the stop band. As a result, transmitted or emitted radiation is confined to a narrow range of
angles about the normal direction even for an incident beam with a large angular divergence as shown in Fig.1 b.
The restricted angular distribution corresponds to a wide beam at the output surface of the thin film and hence
to a beam inside the sample with divergence greatly exceeding that of free space diffraction divergence.
The CLC film studied was a right-handed structure with n ~ 1.7 and Dn ~ 0.2 and a thickness of 35 µm.
The samples were doped with laser dye PM-597 with an absorption peak at 530 nm and an emission peak at 590
nm and pumped with 150 ns pulses at the second harmonic of Q-switched pulses of a Nd :YAG laser at 532 nm.
Lasing is produced at the mode closest to the upper band edge. The emitted beam is perpendicular to the CLC
film and produces the pattern on a screen 11 .5 cm from the sample shown in the insert in Fig. 3.
The CLC medium is modeled as a set of anisotropic amplifying layers with thickness h significantly
smaller than the wavelength of the incident light. The direction of the molecular axis is rotated between
successive layers by a small angle 2 πP/h. A normally incident circularly polarized 1-D Gaussian beam with the
helicity of the CLC structure and frequency of the lasing mode is incident upon the sample. For simplicity of
calculation, we consider an incident beam, which is a superposition of waves with an intensity distribution that is
Gaussian in the plane of incidence (the x-z-plane) and is homogeneous in the perpendicular direction. The main
results obtained for this wave are readily generalized to the case of a Gaussian beam. Transmission is calculated
using a 4 × 4 transfer matrix method [ 8, 9, 10] for each Fourier component of the beam which are then
superposed to give the transmitted wave.3The transfer-matrix is computed numerically for each plane wave component by taking the product of
the transfer matrix for each layer of thickness h with uniform dielectric tensor. The value of h is decreased until
the value of the transmittance converges. Transmission is simulated in a CLC film with P = 370 nm, thickness L
= 35 µm and extraordinary and ordinary dielectric constants ee and eo which correspond to refractive indices ne =
1.8 and no =1.6. For the background medium, we use =bn1.52, which equals the refractive index of the glass
substrates. Gain is introduced by adding a negative imaginary part to both ee and eo. The width of the band-edge
mode in the transmission spectrum drops with increasing gain and vanishes at a critical value of the gain at the
laser threshold. At this point, both the transmittance and reflectance diverge.
The simulations show that the wavefunction at the output surface for a gain coefficient slightly below
the critical value is proportional to |]|)1( exp[ xi−−a at the frequency of the band edge state for the
perpendicularly propagating wave. A typical intensity distribution is shown in linear and logarithmic plots in Fig.
2. The intensity distribution is seen to decay exponentially, |)|2exp( x I a−∝ . Except for a small region near
the beam center, the phase of the electric field increases linearly with the same coefficient a, i.e., ||xaf= .
The value of α decreases with increasing gain coefficient and vanishes at the critical gain. The value of a, and
hence the wavefunction, is found to be independent of the width of the incident beam.
The calculated intensity distribution at the output surface gives rise to an oscillatory structure in the far
field. The measured and calculated far-field intensities are shown in Fig. 3 at a distance of 11.5 cm from the
sample. The agreement is good outside of the central region, but calculations give a flatter peak than is
measured. This is due to the use of a beam with a Gaussian intensity distribution only in one direction and to
the finite gain region created by the pump beam. We now demonstrate analytically that spatial distribution
found is a direct consequence of the Lorentzian shape of the resonant peak of the transmitted electric field,

where bC and B are constants, l p/2bnk= and rb rnk l p/2= are wavevectors in the embedding and
resonant medium, respectively. The linewidth of the transmission spectrum is Δλ = Blr2/2pnb. When the gain
coefficient g is slightly below its critical value gc, B is proportional to ( gc-g). Equation (1) can be generalized to
include oblique incident waves if we replace k by Akcos. At the band-edge frequency rkk=, the
transmittance is strongly peaked in the normal direction. In the limit of rkB<<, we can expand
2/1 cos2AA−≅ , and Eq. (1) gives,

Using Eq. (2) and superposing all transmitted plane waves we obtain the transmitted electric field:
|]|)1(exp[),( xBki LzxE rT−−∝=b. ( 3 )
This is precisely the wavefunction indicated in Fig. 2 with rBk=a . The wavefunction obtained in Eq. (3)
depends only on rBk and is independent of the spatial extent of the incident beam. Since B is proportional to4(gc-g), the wavefunction becomes an unbounded plane wave as the gain approaches the critical value. When
rBk x/1||<< , Eq. (3) becomes invalid and it cannot describe the central region of the beam.
Using Eq. (3), the width of the beam is defined as 2 0x, where 0x is the position at which the intensity drops to
half of its peak value. This gives a beam width at the output surface of rBk xW /2ln20=≡ . By substituting
b rnBpl l / 22=Δ and rb rnk l p/2= into the previous relation, we find a universal relation between Wand the
linewidth lΔ2in transmission for normally incident radiation at rl,
r br
Wn ll p l Δ=2
2ln2. (4)
This relation is valid as long as rkB<<. This condition is satisfied when the sample is sufficiently thick or
)(g g−c is sufficiently small. Since this condition does not explicitly depend on the sample characteristics, we
expect that it holds also for lasing modes in other layered media, such as binary-layered ( BL) media and Fabry-
Perot (FP) resonators. This is demonstrated in Fig. 4, where we plot lr/nbW vs. Dl/lr on a log-log scale for
three arbitrarily chosen systems: (a) CLC ( ◊), (b) BL (+), (c) FP ( x). We also plot Eq. (4) as a solid line for
comparison. In the absence of gain, we also show the data for two CLC samples with different thickness ( 1).
The universal relation in Eq. (4) has a surprising interpretation in terms of diffusion. Since the linewidth
in the transmission spectrum is inversely proportional to the photon dwell time t, Eq. (4) can be interpreted in
terms of the diffusion relation: tDW≈2, since t » lr2/(2pcDl). The effective diffusion constant is
rb b rkncn cD / 2/2= ≈ p l . So, the diffusion constant is proportional to the wavelength of the lasing mode in the
background medium and is independent of the sample thickness and gain coefficient. Although we have
assumed the wave is homogeneous in the y direction, this condition can be relaxed in the analytical approach. If
the incident beam is a Gaussian wave in both the x and y directions, the generalization of the 1-D approach
leads to an outgoing wave: ] )1(exp[)/1( r r b rTBki E −− ∝ , where 2 2yx+=r and again the
condition rBk/1>>r should be satisfied. This is similar to the wavefunction found in Eq. (3). These results
may be naturally applied to band-edge or localized modes in periodic 1-D structures since only a singe mode of
radiation exists over a wide angular range centered on the normal direction to yield wide area thin-film lasers.

ditions. The simulations use a hybrid approach involving
transfer maps to treat externally applied fields (including
rf cavities) and parallel particle-in-cell techniques to t reat

presented here represent a three order of magnitude im-
provement in simulation capability, in terms of problem
size and speed of execution, compared with typical two-
dimensional serial simulations. Specific examples will be
presented, including simulation of the spallation neutron

1 INTRODUCTION
The high intensity of future accelerator-driven systems
places stringent requirements on the allowed beam loss,
since very small fractional losses at high energy can pro-
duce unacceptably high levels of radioactivity. Previous
studies suggest that the low density, large amplitude halo
of the beam is a major issue for these systems [1, 2, 3].
Large-scalesimulationsareanimportanttoolforexplorin g

ing design decisions aimed at controlling particle loss and
meetingoperationalrequirements.
The most widely used model for simulating intense
beams in ion rf linacs is represented by the Poisson-
Vlasov equations. These equations are often solved us-
ing a particle-in-cell(PIC) approach. In this paper we will
describe a parallel simulation capability that combines th e
PICmethodwith techniquesfrommagneticoptics,andwe

The dynamics inside the gaps is computed using external
fields calculated from the electromagnetic code SUPER-
FISH [9]. A schematic plot of the SNS linac configuration
used in this study is shown in Figure 1 [10]. It consists of

mum particle amplitude is well-below the aperture size of
the linac. Thismarginis neededto operatethe linac safely
and to avoid beam loss at the high energy end. The jump

In the LEDA beam halo experiment, a mismatched
high-intensity proton beam will be propagated through a
periodic focusing transport system and measurementswill
be made of the beam profile. The goals of the experimentare two-fold: first, to study beam halo formation and test
ourphysicalunderstandingofthe phenomena,andsecond,
to evaluate our computationalmodelsand assess their pre-
dictive capability through a comparison of simulation and
experiment. Fig. 3 gives a schematic plot of the layout of
the experiment [11]. It consists of 52 alternating-focusin g
quadrupole magnets with a focusing period of 41.96cm.
The gradients of the first four quadrupole magnets can be

Abstract
After some brief biographical notes, Wolfgang Pauli’s main contributions to general re-
lativity, quantum theory, quantum field theory, and element ary particle physics are reviewed.
A detailed description is given how Pauli descovered – befor e the advent of the new quantum
mechanics – his exclusion principle.
Meine Damen und Herren,
Ich f¨uhle mich sehr geehrt, diesen Vortrag halten zu d ¨urfen. Gleichzeitig habe ich ein etwas
beklemmendes Gef ¨uhl, denn meine Aufgabe ist nicht leicht.
Am Samstag werden wir manches ¨uber Paulis Pers ¨onlichkeit und seine weitgespannten Inter-
essen h ¨oren. In meinem Vortrag werde ich hingegen fast ausschliess lich¨uber Paulis Wissenschaft[1]
reden.
Auch bei ¨ausserster Konzentration auf seine wesentlichsten Beitr ¨age ist eine Stunde nat ¨urlich
zu kurz. Deshalb muss ich die Gewichte sehr ungleichm ¨assig verteilen.
Ich sollte zumindest auf folgende Themen eingehen:
1) Zu Beginn seiner Karriere hat sich Pauli in sehr jungen Jah ren mit seinen Beitr ¨agen zur
Allgemeinen Relativit ¨atstheorie, insbesondere zur Weylschen Erweiterung, sehr schnell
einen Namen als ganz aussergew ¨ohnlicher theoretischer Physiker gemacht.
2) Paulis wichtigster Beitrag zur Physik ist zweifellos sei n Ausschliessungsprinzip. Der wenig
bekannten Entdeckungsgeschichte werde ich einen wesentli chen Teil meiner Zeit widmen.
Die Schwierigkeit dabei ist, dass man sich in die Situation vorder Quantenmechanik
(in unserem heutigen Sinne) zur ¨uckversetzen muss. Nach genauem Studium von Paulis
Argumentationskette bin ich zutiefst davon beeindruckt, w ie Pauli — auf der Basis der
br¨uchigen Bohr-Sommerfeld-Theorie und dem damaligen spektr oskopischen Wissen — der
Natur sein Ausschliessungsprinzip ablauschen konnte. Die Genialit ¨at des jungen Mannes
zeigt sich, so denke ich, nirgends deutlicher.
3) Die weiteren wichtigsten Beitr ¨age zur Quantenmechanik, zur Quantenfeldtheorie und zur
Elementarteilchenphysik werde ich relativ knapp abhandel n m¨ussen. Dies ist nicht so
schlimm, da man w ¨ahrend des Studiums mit diesen Themen konfrontiert wird und Paulis
Einsichten zum selbstverst ¨andlichen Besitz der Physik geworden sind.
1Opening talk at the symposium: WOLFGANG PAULI AND MODERN PHY SICS, in honor of the 100th
anniversary of Wolfgang Pauli’s birthday, ETH (Zurich), Ma i 4-6 2000.Auf den Zusammenhang von Spin und Statistik muss ich aber unbedingt etwas eingehen,
da mit diesem — zur grossen Befriedigung von Pauli — das Aussc hlussprinzip eine tiefere
Begr¨undung fand.
Ferner m ¨ochte ich etwas zur Neutrinohypothese sagen, vor allem weil die damit verbun-
denen anf ¨anglichen Schwierigkeiten meist ungen ¨ugend hervorgehoben werden. Es ging
eben nicht nur um die Energieerhaltung, sondern u.a. auch um Spin und Statistik der
Atomkerne.
* * * * *
Werdegang
In einem Alter, in welchem heute die meisten ihre Dissertati on aufschreiben, war Pauli bereits
eine der wichtigsten Autorit ¨aten und treibenden Kr ¨afte in der Welt der theoretischen Physik.
“Was, so jung und schon unbekannt” soll Pauli einmal zu einem jungen Mann gesagt hab en.
Paulis Ausstrahlung auf die Physiker seiner Zeit hat Paul Eh renfest anl ¨asslich der Verleihung
der Lorentzmedaille an Pauli im Jahre 1931 so zusammengefas st[2]:
“Aber vielleicht noch von viel gr ¨osserem Gewicht als seine Publikationen sind die
unz¨ahligen, unverfolgbaren Beitr ¨age, die er zur Entwicklung der neueren Physik
durch m ¨undliche Diskussionen oder Briefe geliefert hat. Die enorm e Sch¨arfe seiner
Kritik, seine ausserordentliche Klarheit und vor allem die r¨ucksichtslose Ehrlichkeit,
mit der er stets den Nachdruck auf die ungel ¨osten Schwierigkeiten legt, bewirkt, dass
er als unsch ¨atzbare Triebkraft innerhalb der neueren theoretischen Fo rschung gelten
muss.”
Einen lebendigen Eindruck von Paulis Einfluss auf die Physik er seiner Zeit und seine unerh ¨ort
kritische F ¨ahigkeit gibt der nie abreissende Briefstrom[3], bei dessen Lekt ¨ure man immer wieder
den Atem anh ¨alt. Paulis Kritik war gesucht, gef ¨urchtet und oft beissend, wie die folgende etwas
erschreckende Kostprobe aus einem Brief an Einstein[4]aus dem Jahre 1929 zeigt, der gleichzeitig
auch den stattgefundenen Generationswechsel ¨uberdeutlich macht (als Hintergrund f ¨ur diesen
Brief muss man wissen, dass Einstein bereits in den 20er Jahr en mehrere Versuche machte,
Gravitation und Elektrodynamik in einer einheitlichen kla ssischen Feldtheorie zu verschmelzen,
wovon Pauli wenig hielt):
“Es bleibt [den Kritik ¨ubenden Physikern] nur ¨ubrig, Ihnen dazu zu gratulieren
(oder soll ich lieber sagen: zu kondolieren?), dass Sie zu de n reinen Mathematikern
¨ubergegangen sind. Ich bin auch nicht so naiv als dass ich gla uben w ¨urde, Sie
w¨urden auf Grund irgend einer Kritik durch Andere Ihre Meinun g¨andern. Aber
ich w¨urde jede Wette mit Ihnen eingehen, dass Sie sp ¨atestens nach einem Jahr den
ganzen Fernparallelismus aufgegeben haben werden, so wie S ie fr¨uher die Affintheorie
aufgegeben haben. Und ich will Sie nicht durch Fortsetzung d ieses Briefes noch
weiter zum Widerspruch reizen, um das Herannahen dieses nat ¨urlichen Endes der
Fernparallelismustheorie nicht zu verz ¨ogern.”
Pauli war, was man ein Wunderkind nennt. Als reifer Mann mein te er dazu: “Ja, das Wunder-
kind — das Wunder vergeht und das Kind bleibt .. . .” Es war wohl naheliegend, dass Pauli
nach dem Abitur noch im Jahre 1918 nach M ¨unchen zog, wo Sommerfeld ‘eine Pflanzst ¨atte der
2theoretischen Physik’ geschaffen hatte und die besten Talen te anzog. Sommerfeld ist vor allem
als begnadeter Lehrer in die Geschichte der Physik eingegan gen. Seine auch heute noch sehr
lesenswerten Lehrb ¨ucher geben uns eine Ahnung von der Begeisterung, mit der er s eine Vorlesun-
gen hielt und mit welchem Enthusiasmus er die jugendlichen H ¨orer mitriss. Zu den Massst ¨aben
seines Unterrichts sagte er einmal[5]: “Was wir betonen m ¨ussen, ist die ideale Seite der mathe-
matischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Studien, ihre Sch ¨onheit und innere Wahrhaftigkeit; ihre
Kraft, phrasenloses Denken und r ¨ucksichtsloses Schliessen im Sch ¨uler zu entwickeln.”
Sommerfeld erkannte sofort die Begabung von Pauli und betra ute ihn schon in den Anfangsse-
mestern mit dem f ¨ur die Enzyklop ¨adie der mathematischen Wissenschaften bestimmten Kapite l
¨uber Relativit ¨atstheorie. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt geh ¨orte Pauli bereits zu den besten Kennern der
Allgemeinen Relativit ¨atstheorie. Im Jahre 1919 sind von ihm drei Arbeiten[6]auf diesem Gebiet
erschienen, wovon zwei der kurz zuvor entstandenen Weylsch en Theorie von Gravitation und
Elektrizit ¨at gewidmet sind.
Die Weylsche Theorie war — mathematisch gesehen — ein bestec hender Versuch, die beiden
damals einzig bekannten Wechselwirkungen in geometrische r Weise einheitlich zu beschreiben.
Weyl verallgemeinerte dabei die Riemannsche Geometrie auf sehr nat ¨urliche Weise, wodurch
nicht nur das Gravitationsfeld sondern auch das elektromag netische eine geometrische Bedeutung
erlangten[7].
Einstein ¨ausserte mit Recht sofort physikalische Bedenken, aber Pau li war nach Weyl der
erste, der die Theorie n ¨aher untersuchte und beobachtbare Konsequenzen ausarbeit ete. So
berechnete er die Periheldrehung des Merkur und die Lichtab lenkung in der Weylschen Theorie
f¨ur eine damals von Weyl bevorzugte Wirkung2.
In diesen ersten Arbeiten von Pauli sieht man bereits den aus gereiften Meister. Jedermann
wunderte sich, wie dies so fr ¨uh m¨oglich war[8].
Pauli befand sich erst im dritten Semester als er im Sommer 19 20 auf Veranlassung von
Sommerfeld mit der Arbeit an dem f ¨ur die Enzyklop ¨adie der mathematischen Wissenschaften
bestimmten Kapitel ¨uber Relativit ¨atstheorie begann. In weniger als einem Jahr bew ¨altigte er —
neben seinem Studium — die anspruchsvolle Aufgabe und liefe rte Anfang 1921 das Manuskript
von 237 Buchseiten mit gegen 400 verarbeiteten Literaturzi taten ab. Damit etablierte sich Pauli
als ein Wissenschaftler von seltener Tiefe und alles ¨uberragenden synthetischen und kritischen
F¨ahigkeiten. In seiner Besprechung des Enzyklop ¨adieartikels[9]schrieb Einstein[10]:
“Wer dieses reife und gross angelegte Werk studiert, m ¨ochte nicht glauben, dass
der Verfasser ein Mann von einundzwanzig Jahren ist. Man wei ss nicht, was man
am meisten bewundern soll, das psychologische Verst ¨andnis f ¨ur die Ideenentwick-
lung, die Sicherheit der mathematischen Deduktion, den tie fen physikalischen Blick,
das Verm ¨ogen¨ubersichtlicher systematischer Darstellung, die Literat urkenntnis, die
sachliche Vollst ¨andigkeit, die Sicherheit der Kritik.”
Im selben Jahr 1921, als Paulis Artikel erschien, promovier te er bereits nach sechs Semestern an
der Universit ¨at M¨unchen mit einer Arbeit ¨uber das Wasserstoff-Molek ¨ulion[11]im Rahmen der
alten Quantentheorie von Bohr und Sommerfeld. Die Grenzen d ieser Theorie zeichneten sich
bereits bei diesem Problem ab. Vollends klar wurde dies alle rdings erst nachdem Heisenberg
auch das Heliumatom untersucht hatte.
Nach seiner Promotion trat Pauli im Wintersemester 1921/22 eine Assistentenstelle bei Max
Born in G ¨ottingen an. In gemeinsamen Untersuchungen ¨ubertrugen die beiden die astronomische
2Da die zugeh ¨origen Feldgleichungen h ¨oherer Ordnung sind, tritt im zentralsymmetrischen Proble m neben der
Masse noch eine zweite willk ¨urliche Integrationskonstante auf. Pauli zeigt, dass nur f ¨ur eine spezielle Wahl dieser
Integrationskonstante die Einsteinschen Resultate f ¨ur die Periheldrehung und die Lichtablenkung resultieren.
3St¨orungstheorie auf die Atomphysik. Schon am 29. November 192 1 schrieb Born an Einstein[12]:
“Der kleine Pauli ist sehr anregend; einen so guten Assisten ten werde ich nie mehr kriegen.”
Jahrzehnte sp ¨ater¨ausserte sich Born ¨uber Pauli folgendermassen[13]: “Denn ich wusste seit der
Zeit, da er mein Assistent in G ¨ottingen war, dass er ein Genie war, nur vergleichbar mit Ein stein
selbst, ja dass er rein wissenschaftlich vielleicht noch gr ¨osser war als Einstein, wenn auch ein
ganz anderer Menschentyp, der in meinen Augen Einsteins Gr ¨osse nicht erreichte.”
Entdeckungsgeschichte des Ausschliessungsprinzips
Einen lebendigen Eindruck von Paulis Entdeckung des Aussch liessungsprinzips[14]— seinem
wichtigsten Beitrag zur Physik — gewinnt man wieder aus dem e rsten Band des Briefwechsels[15].
Das Pauliprinzip lag zum Zeitpunkt seiner allgemeinen Form ulierung gegen Ende 1924 keines-
wegs in der Luft, stand man doch damals vor zwei grunds ¨atzlichen Schwierigkeiten: Einen all-
gemeinen ¨Ubersetzungsschl ¨ussel eines mechanischen Modells in eine koh ¨arente Quantentheorie
gab es noch nicht und der Spin-Freiheitsgrad war unbekannt.
Die Entdeckungsgeschichte des Ausschliessungsprinzips b eginnt im Herbst 1922 in Kopen-
hagen, wo sich Pauli am Bohrschen Institut mit einer Erkl ¨arung des anomalen Zeeman-Effektes
abm¨uhte. Land´ e hatte aus den Spektraldaten bereits die Aufspa ltung der Spektralterme in
einem schwachen Magnetfeld abgeleitet und f ¨ur die Beschreibung der Dublettstruktur der Al-
kalimetalle halbzahlige magnetische Quantenzahlen einge f¨uhrt. Pauli gelang es in einem ersten
Schritt, Land´ es Termanalyse f ¨ur das Paschen-Back-Gebiet zu verallgemeinern. Er fand dab ei
das “allgemeine formale Gesetz, welches gestattet, die Auf spaltungsfaktoren gim Falle kleiner
Felder aus den Energiewerten bei grossen Feldern abzuleite n”[16]. (Darauf werde ich gleich n ¨aher
eingehen.)
Diese fr ¨uhe Arbeit war — wie Pauli in seinem Nobelvortrag[17]betont — f ¨ur die Entdeckung
des Ausschliessungsprinzips wesentlich. Zum Zeitpunkt ih rer Abfassung war er aber dar ¨uber
sehr ungl ¨ucklich, wie z. B. aus einem Brief an Sommerfeld hervorgeht[18]:
“Ich habe mich sehr lange mit dem anomalen Zeemaneffekt gepla gt, wobei ich oft
auf Irrwege geriet und eine Unzahl von Annahmen pr ¨ufte und dann wieder verwarf.
Aber es wollte und wollte nicht stimmen! Dies ist mir bis jetz t einmal gr ¨undlich
schief gegangen! Ein Zeit lang war ich ganz verzweifelt .. .i ch habe das Ganze mit
einer Tr ¨ane im Augenwinkel geschrieben und habe davon wenig Freude. ”
Pauli hat selber erz ¨ahlt[19]wie ihm auf einer ziellosen Wanderung durch die Strassen Kop en-
hagens Harald Bohr begegnete, der freundlich zu ihm sagte: “ Sie sehen so ungl ¨ucklich aus”,
worauf er schroff antwortete: “Wie kann man gl ¨ucklich aussehen, wenn man an den anomalen
Zeemaneffekt denkt.”
1. Schritt: Zeemaneffekt in starken Feldern und Paulis Summe nregel[16]
Ich m ¨ochte Ihnen diesen ersten Schritt auf dem Weg zum Ausschlies sungsprinzip im Detail
vorf¨uhren, um Ihnen zu zeigen, wie Pauli auf unsicherem Grund zu e inem richtigen — und
wie sich zeigen sollte — wichtigen Resultat gelangte. Dabei werde ich heutige Bezeichnungen
verwenden, um unn ¨otige Schwierigkeiten zu vermeiden.
Wie immer beschreibt Pauli zun ¨achst in konziser Weise, was er an bereits Vorhandenem
zugrunde legt. Dies muss ich ebenfalls festhalten:
4•Die Beziehung zwischen Energieniveaus und Spektrum wird du rch die Bohrsche Regel
E2−E1=hν
bestimmt. (Diese kannte man seit Bohrs Pionierarbeiten.)
•Den Spektraltermen hatte man bereits verschiedene Quantenzahlen zugeordnet. Es sind
dies3:
⊲L[=k−1], L= 0,1,2,3,... (S,P,D,F,... )
(unsere heutige Bahndrehimpuls-Quantenzahl);
⊲S[=i−1]: jeder Term geh ¨ort zu einem Singlett oder Multiplettsystem mit maximaler
Multiplizit ¨at 2S+ 1 (S= 0,1
2,1,...) (unsere heutige Spinquantenzahl);
⊲die verschiedenen Terme eines Multipletts (mit denselben LundS) werden durch die
Quantenzahl J[=j] unterschieden; deren Werte sind:
J=L+S, L+S−1,... L −Sf¨urL≥S,
J=S+L, S+L−1,... S −Lf¨urL<S .
(Jist nat ¨urlich unsere heutige totale Drehimpulsquantenzahl.)
•Ferner kannte man die folgenden Auswahlregeln , die in den meisten F ¨allen g ¨ultig sind:
L− →L±1,
S− →S ,
J− →J+ 1,J,J−1 (0 − →0 verboten) .
•Bei gegebener Atomzahl Z(Z−pf¨urp-fach ionisierte Atome) gilt:
Zgerade − →S,J: ganz,
Zungerade − →S,J: halbganz .
•Aufspaltung im Magnetfeld:
⊲Jeder Term spaltet in 2 J+ 1 Niveaus auf, welche durch die Quantenzahl M=J,J−
1,...,−Junterschieden werden.
⊲Land´ e: F¨ur schwache Felder ist die Aufspaltung △EM=M·g(µ0B) (¨aquidistante
Reihe); dabei ist µ0=e/planckover2pi1/2mcdas Bohrsche Magneton (von Pauli 1920 eingef ¨uhrt)

Abstract. We explain connections of the Evans-Vigier model with theor ies
proposed previously. The Comay’s criticism is proved to be i rrelevant.
The content of the present talk is the following:
−Evans-Vigier definitions of the B(3)field [1];
−Lorentz transformation properties of the B(3)field and the B-Cyclic
Theorem[2, 3];
−Clarifications of the Ogievetski˘ ı-Polubarinov, Hayashi a nd Kalb-Ramond
papers [4, 5, 6];
−Connections between various formulations of massive/mass lessJ= 1
field;
−Conclusions of relativistic covariance and relevance of th e Evans-Vigier
postulates.
In 1994-2000 I presented a set of papers [7] devoted to clarifi cations of
the Weinberg (and Weinberg-like [8, 9]) theories and the con cept of Ogievet-
ski˘ ı-Polubarinov notoph . In 1995-96 I received numerous e-mail communi-
cations from Dr. M. Evans, who promoted a new concept of the lo ngitudinal
phaseless magnetic field associated with plane waves, the B(3)field (which is
later obtained the name of M. Evans and J.-P. Vigier). Reason s for continu-
ing the discussion during 2-3 years were: 1) the problem of ma ssless limits of
all relativistic equations does indeed exist; 2) the dynami cal Maxwell equa-
tions have indeed additional solutions with energy E= 0 (apart of those2 VALERI V. DVOEGLAZOV
withE=±|κ|, see [10, 11, 12, 13, 14];13) the B(3)concept met strong
non-positive criticism (e. g., ref [15, 16, 17]) and the situ ation became even
more controversial in the last years (partially, due to the E vans’ illness).
What are misunderstandings of both the authors of the B(3)model and
their critics? In Enigmatic Photon (1994), ref. [1], the following definitions
of the longitudinal Evans-Vigier B(3)field have been given:2
Definition 1. [p.3,formula (4a)]
B(1)×B(2)=iB(0)B(3)⋆,et cyclic . (3)
Definition 2. [p.6,formula (12)]
B(3)=B(3)⋆=−iκ2
B(0)A(1)×A(2), (4)
and
Definition 3. [p.16,formula (41)]
B(3)=B(0)ˆk. (5)
The following notation was used: κis the wave number; φ=ωt−κ·ris
the phase; B(1)andB(2)are usual transverse modes of the magnetic field;
A(1)andA(2)are usual transverse modes of the vector potential.
The main experimental prediction of Evans [1a,b] that the ma gnetiza-
tion induced during light-matter interaction (for instanc e, in the IFE)
M=αI1/2+βI+γI3/2where I=1
2ǫ0cE2
0,E0=c|Bπ|(6)
hasnotbeen confirmed by the North Caroline group [18]. As one can see
from Figure 4 of [18] “the behaviour of the experimental curv e does not
match with Evans calculations”.
Nevertheless, let us try to deepen understanding of the theo retical con-
tent of the Evans-Vigier model. In their papers and books [1] Evans and
1If we put energy to be equal to zero in the dynamical Maxwell eq uations
∇ ×[E−iB] +i(∂/∂t)[E−iB] = 0 , (1)
∇ ×[E+iB]−i(∂/∂t)[E+iB] = 0 . (2)
we come to ∇ ×E= 0 and ∇ ×B= 0, i. e. to the conditions of longitudinality. The
method of deriving this conclusion has been given in [19].

IfB(0)=E(0)this formula describes the right-polarized radiation. Of
course, a similar formula can be written for the left-polari zed radiation.
These transverse solutions can been re-written to the real fi elds. For in-
stance, Comay presented them in the following way [16c] in th e reference
frame Σ:
E⊥= cos[ ω(z−t)]ˆi−sin[ω(z−t)]ˆj, (8)
B⊥= sin[ ω(z−t)]ˆi+ cos[ ω(z−t)]ˆj, (9)
and analized the addition of B||=√
2ˆkto (9). Making boost to other frame
of reference Σ′he claimed that a) B(3)′isnotparallel to the Poynting
vector; b) with the Evans postulates E(3)′has a real part; c) transverse
fields change, whereas B(3)is left unchanged when the boost is done to the
frame moving in the zdirection. Comay concludes that these observations
disprove the Evans claims on these particular questions. Fu rthermore, he
claimed that the B(3)model is inconsistent with the Relativity Theory.
According to [20, Eq.(11.149)] the Lorentz transformation rules for elec-
tric and magnetic fields are the following:
E′=γ(E+cβ×B)−γ2
γ+ 1β(β·E), (10)
B′=γ(B−β×E/c)−γ2
γ+ 1β(β·B), (11)
whereβ=v/c,β=|β|= tanh φ,γ=1√
1−β2= cosh φ, with φbeing
the parameter of the Lorentz boost. We shall further use the n atural unit
system c= ¯h= 1. After introducing the spin matrices ( Si)jk=−iǫijkand
deriving relevant relations:
(S·β)jkak≡i[β×a]j,
βjβk≡[β211−(S·β)2]jk,4 VALERI V. DVOEGLAZOV
one can rewrite Eqs. (10,11) to the form

Pure Lorentz transformations (without inversions) do not c hange signs of
the phase of the field functions, so we should consider separa tely properties
of the set of B(1)andE(1), which can be regarded as the negative-energy
solutions in QFT and of another set of B(2)andE(2), the positive-energy
solutions. Thus, in this framework one can deduce from Eqs. ( 12,13)

is just an algebraic exercise. Here it is

(22)WHAT IS THE EVANS-VIGIER FIELD? 5
We know that the longitudinal mode in the Evans-Vigier theor y can be con-
sidered as obtained from Definition 3 . Thus, considering that B(0)trans-
forms as zero-component of a four-vector and B(3)as space components of
a four-vector: [20, Eq.(11.19)]
B(0)′=γ(B(0)−β·B(3)), (23)
B(3)′=B(3)+γ−1
β2(β·B(3))β−γβB(0), (24)
we find from (22) that the relation between transverse and lon gitudinal
modes preserves its form:
B(1)′×B(2)′=iB(0)′B(3)∗ ′, (25)
that may be considered as a proof of the relativistic covaria nce of the B(3)
model.
Moreover, we used that the phase factors in the formula (7) ar e fixed
between the vector and axial-vector parts of the antisymemt ric tensor field
for both positive- and negative- frequency solutions if one wants to have
pure real fields. Namely, B(1)= +iE(1)andB(2)=−iE(2). As we have just
seen the B(3)field in this case may be regarded as a part of a 4-vector with
respect to the pure Lorentz transformations. We are now goin g to take off
the abovementioned requirement and to consider the general case:
/parenleftbiggB⊥
E⊥/parenrightbigg′
= Λ/braceleftbigg/parenleftbigg˜B(1)
˜E(1)/parenrightbigg
e+iφ+/parenleftbigg˜B(2)
˜E(2)/parenrightbigg

eiα(xµ)˜B(1)/parenrightbigg
e+iφ+/parenleftbigg˜B(2)
−eiβ(xµ)˜B(2)/parenrightbigg
e−iφ/bracerightbigg
.
Our formula (26) can be re-written to the formulas generaliz ing (6a) and
(6b) of ref. [2] (see also above (18,19)):
Bi(1)′=/parenleftigg
1 +ieiαγ(S·β) +γ2
γ+ 1(S·β)2/parenrightigg

Bi(2)′=/parenleftigg
1−ieiβγ(S·β) +γ2
γ+ 1(S·β)2/parenrightigg
ijBj(2). (28)
One can then repeat the procedure of ref. [2] (see the short pr esentation
above) and find out that the B(3)field may have various transformation
laws when the transverse fields transform with the matrix Λ wh ich can
be extracted from (12,13). Since the Evans-Vigier field is de fined by the6 VALERI V. DVOEGLAZOV
formula (3) we again search the transformation law for the cr oss product of
the transverse modes/bracketleftig
B(1)×B(2)/bracketrightig′=? with taking into account (27,28).
/bracketleftig

.
We used again the Definition 3 thatB(3)=B(0)ˆk.
One can see that we recover the formula (8) of ref. [2] (see (22 ) above)
when the phase factors are equal to α=−π/2,β=−π/2. In the case
α= +π/2 and β= +π/2, the sign of βis changed to the opposite one.3
But, we are able to obtain the transformation law as for antis ymmetric
tensor field, for instance when α=−π/2,β= +π/2.4Namely, since under
this choice of the phases
B(1)′×B(2)′=iγ/bracketleftig
B(0)/bracketrightig2/parenleftigg
ˆk−γβ(β·ˆk)
γ+ 1+ (iˆiβy−iˆjβx)/parenrightigg
, (30)
the formula (30) and the formula for opposite choice of phase s lead precisely
to the transformation laws of the antisymmetric tensor field s:
/bracketleftig
Bi(3)/bracketrightig′=/parenleftigg
1±γ(S·β) +γ2
γ+ 1(S·β)2/parenrightigg
ijBj(3). (31)
B(0)is a true scalar in such a case.
What are reasons that we introduced additional phase factor s in Hel-
moltz bivectors? In [21] a similar problem has been consider ed in the
(1/2,0)⊕(0,1/2) (cf. also [7, 22]). Ahluwalia identified additional phase
factor(s) with Higgs-like fields and proposed some relation s with a grav-
itational potential. However, the Efield under definitions ( α=−π/2,
β= +π/2) becomes to be pure imaginary. One can also propose a model
with the corresponding introduction of phase factors in suc h a way that
3By the way, in all his papers Evans used the choice of phase fac tors incompatible
with the B-Cyclic Theorem in the sense that notall the components are entries of anti-
symmetric tensor fields therein. This is the main one but not t he sole error of the Evans
papers and books.
4In the case α= +π/2 and β=−π/2, the sign in the third term in parentheses
(formula (30) is changed to the opposite one.WHAT IS THE EVANS-VIGIER FIELD? 7
B⊥to be pure imaginary. Can these transverse fields be observab le? Can
the phase factors be observable? A question of experimental possibility of
detection of this class of antisymmetric tensor fields (in fa ct, of the anti-
hermitian modes on using the terminology of quantum optics) is still open.
One should still note that several authors discussed recent ly unusual con-
figurations of electromagnetic fields [23, 24].
Let us now look for relations with old formalisms. The equati ons (10)
of [4] is read
fµν(p)∼[ǫ(1)
µ(p)ǫ(2)
ν(p)−ǫ(1)
ν(p)ǫ(2)
µ(p)] (32)
for antisymmetric tensor fµνexpressed through cross product of polariza-
tion vectors in the momentum space. This is a generalized cas e comparing
with the Evans-Vigier Definition 2 which is obtained if one restricts oneself
by space indices.
The dynamical equations in the Ogievetski˘ ı-Polubarinov a pproach are
2fµν−∂µ∂λfλν+∂ν∂λfλµ=Jµν, (33)
and the new Kalb-Ramond gauge invariance is defined with resp ect to trans-
formations
δfµν=∂µλν−∂νλµ. (34)
It was proven that the Ogievetski˘ ı-Polubarinov equations are related to the
Weinberg 2(2 j+ 1) formalism [25, 26] and [7b-f,i].
Furthermore, they [4] also claimed “In the limit m→0 (orv→c) the
helicity becomes a relativistic invariant, and the concept of spin loses its
meaning. The system of 2 s+ 1 states is no longer irreducible; it decom-
poses and describes a set of different particles with zero mas s and helicities
±s,±(s−1),...±1,0 (for integer spin and if parity is conserved; the situ-
ation is analogous for half-integer spins)5.” In fact, this hints that actually
the Proca-Duffin-Kemmer j= 1 theory has twomassless limit, a) the well-
known Maxwell theory and b) the notoph theory ( h= 0). The notoph
theory has been further developed by Hayashi [5] in the conte xt of dila-
ton gravity, by Kalb and Ramond [6] in the string context. Hun dreds (if
not thousands) papers exist on the so-called Kalb-Ramond fie ld (which is
actually the notoph ), including some speculations on its connection with
Yang-Mills fields.
5Cf. with [27]. I am grateful to an anonymous referee of Physics Essays who sug-
gested to look for possible connections. However, the work [ 27] does not cite the previous
Ogievetski˘ ı-Polubarinov statement.8 VALERI V. DVOEGLAZOV
In [28] I tried to use the Ogievetski˘ ı-Polubarinov definiti ons of fµν(see
(32)) to construct the “potentials” fµν. We can obtained for a massive field
fµν(p) =iN2

This tensor coincides with the longitudinal components of t he antisym-
metric tensor obtained in refs. [9a,Eqs.(2.14,2.17)] (see also below and [7i,
Eqs.(16b,17b)]) within normalizations and different forms of the spin basis.
The longitudinal states reduce to zero in the massless case u nder appro-
priate choice of the normalization and only if a j= 1 particle moves along
with the third axis OZ.6Finally, it is also useful to compare Eq. (35) with
the formula (B2) in ref. [29] in order to realize the correct p rocedure for
taking the massless limit.
Thus, the results (at least in a mathematical sense) surpris ingly depend
on a) the normalization; b) the choice of the frame of referen ce.
In the Lagrangian approach we have
LProca=−1
4FµνFµν+m2
2AµAµ=⇒ LMaxwell(m→0), (36)
and
L=−1
2FµFµ+m2
4fµνfµν=⇒ LNotoph=−1
2FµFµ(m→0),(37)
where
Fµ=i
2ǫµναβ∂βfνα=∂β˜fµβ(38)
(if one applies the duality relations). Thus, we observe tha t a) it is impor-
tant to consider the parity matters (the dual tensor has diffe rent parity
properties); b) we may look for connections with the dual ele ctrodynam-
ics [30].
The above surprising conclusions induced me to start form th e ba-
sic group-theoretical postulates in order to understand th e origins of the
Ogievetski˘ ı-Polubarinov-Evans-Vigier results. The set of Bargmann-Wigner
equations, ref [31] for j= 1 is written, e.g., ref. [32]
[iγµ∂µ−m]αβΨβγ(x) = 0 , (39)
[iγµ∂µ−m]γβΨαβ(x) = 0 , (40)
6There is also another way of thinking: namely, to consider “u nappropriate” normal-
ization N= 1 and to remove divergent part (in m→0) by a new gauge transformation.WHAT IS THE EVANS-VIGIER FIELD? 9
where one usually uses
Ψ{αβ}=mγµ
αδRδβAµ+1
2σµν
αδRδβFµν, (41)
In order to facilitate an analysis of parity properties of th e corresponding
fields one should introduce also the term ∼(γ5σµνR)αβ˜fµν. In order to
understand normalization matters one should put arbitrary (dimensional,
in general) coefficients in this expansion or in definitions of the fields and
4-potentials [28]. The Rmatrix is
R=/parenleftbiggiΘ 0
0−iΘ/parenrightbigg
,Θ =−iσ2=/parenleftbigg0−1
1 0/parenrightbigg
. (42)
Matrices γµare chosen in the Weyl representation, i.e.,γ5is assumed to
be diagonal. The reflection operator Rhas the properties
RT=−R , R†=R=R−1, (43)
R−1γ5R= (γ5)T, (44)
R−1γµR=−(γµ)T, (45)
R−1σµνR=−(σµν)T. (46)
They are necessary for the expansion (41) to be possible in su ch a form,
i.e., in order the γµR,σµνRand (if considered) γ5σµνRto besymmetrical
matrices.
I used the expansion which is similar to (41)
Ψ{αβ}=γµ
αδRδβFµ+σµν
αδRδβFµν, (47)
and obtained
∂αFαµ+m
2Fµ= 0, (48)
2mFµν=∂µFν−∂νFµ. (49)
If one renormalizes Fµ→2mAµorFµν→1
2mFµνone obtains “textbooks”
Proca equations. But, physical contents of the massless limits of these equa-
tions may be different .

the normalization of the wave functions in the momentum repr esentation
is thus chosen to the unit, ǫ∗
µ(p,h)ǫµ(p,h) =−1.9We observe that in the
massless limit all defined polarization vectors of the momen tum space do
not have good behaviour; the functions describing spin-1 pa rticles tend to
infinity. This is not satisfactory, in my opinion, even thoug h one can still
claim that singularities may be removed by rotation and/or c hoice of a
gauge parameter. After renormalizing the potentials, e. g.,ǫµ→uµ≡mǫµ
we come to the field functions in the momentum representation :

Therefore, we use the field operator as in (54). The coefficient (2π)3can be considered
at this stage as chosen for convenience. In ref. [33] the fact or 1/(2Ep) was absorbed in
creation/annihilation operators and instead of the field op erator (54) the operator was
used in which the ǫµ(p, h) functions for a massive spin-1 particle were substituted b y
uµ(p, h) = (2 Ep)−1/2ǫµ(p, h), which may lead to confusions in searching massless limits
m→0 for classical polarization vectors.
8In general, it may be useful to consider front-form heliciti es (or “time-like” polariza-
tions) too. But, we leave a presentation of a rigorous theory of this type for subsequent
publications.

Two of the massless functions (with h=±1) are equal to zero when the

and at the rest ( Ep=p3→0) also vanishes. Thus, such a field operator
describes the “longitudinal photons” which is in complete a ccordance with
the Weinberg theorem B−A=hfor massless particles (let us remind that
we use the D(1/2,1/2) representation). Thus, the change of the normaliza-
tion can lead to the change of physical content described by t he classical
field (at least, comparing with the well-accepted one). Of co urse, in the
quantum case one should somehow fix the form of commutation re lations
by some physical principles.1

where we denoted, as previously, a normalization factor app earing in the
definitions of the potentials (and/or in the definitions of th e physical fields
through potentials) as N.E(p,0) and B(p,0) coincide with the strengths
obtained before by different method [9a,28], see also (35). B±(p,0t) =
E±(p,0t) = 0 identically. So, we again see a third component of anti-
symmetric tensor fields in the massless limit which is depend ent on the
normalization and rotation of the frame of reference.
However, the claim of the pure“longitudinal nature” of the antisym-
metric tensor field and/or “Kalb-Ramond” fields after quanti zation still
requires further explanations. As one can see in [5] for a the ory with
L=−1
8FµFµthe application of the condition ( A(+)
ij(x),j)|Ψ>= 0 (in
our notation ∂µfµν= 0), see the formula (18a) therein, leads to the above
conclusion. Transverse modes are eliminated by a new “gauge ” transforma-
tions. Indeed, the expanded lagrangian is

Thus, the Ogievetski˘ ı-Polubarinov-Hayashi Lagrangian i s equivalent to the
Weinberg’s Lagrangian of the 2(2 j+ 1) theory [36] and [7a-e],2which is
constructed as a generalization of the Dirac Lagrangian for spin 1 (instead
of bispinors it contains bivectors ). In order to consider a massive theory (we

said that this is due to the possiblity of applying the Fermi m ethod mutatis mutandis .WHAT IS THE EVANS-VIGIER FIELD? 13
In the above equations we applied dynamical equations as usu al. Thus, it
becomes obvious, why previous authors claimed the purelongitudinal na-
ture of massless antisymmetric tensor field after quantizat ion, and why the
application of the generalized Lorentz condition leads to equating the spin
operator to zero.3But, one should take into account the normalization is-
sues. An additional mass factor in the denominator may appear a) af ter
“re-normalization” L → L /m2(if we want to describe long-range forces an
antisymmetric tensor field must have dimension [ energy ]2in the c= ¯h= 1
unit system, and potentials, [ energy ]1in order the corresponding action
would be dimensionless; b) due to appropriate change of the c ommutation
relations for creation/annihilation operators of the high er-spin fields (in-
cluding ∼1/m); c) due to divergent terms in E,B,Ainm→0 under
certain choice of N. Thus, one can recover usual quantum electrodynamics
even if we use fields (not potentials) as dynamical variables .
The conclusions are:
−While first experimental verifications gave negative result s, the B(3)
construct is theoretically possible, if one develops it in a mathematically
correct way ;
−TheB(3)model is a relativistic covariant model. It is compatible wi th
the Relativity Theory. The B(3)field may be a part of the 4-potential
vector, or (if we change connections between parts of Helmol tz bivec-
tor) may be even a part of antisymmetric tensor field;
−TheB(3)model is based on definitions which are particular cases of
the previous considerations of Ogievetski˘ ı and Polubarin ov, Hayashi
and Kalb and Ramond;
−The Duffin-Kemmer-Proca theory has two massless limits that s eems
to be in contradictions with the Weinberg theorem ( B−A=h);
−Antisymmetric tensor fields after quantization maydescribe particles
of both helicity h= 0 and h=±1 in the massless limit. Surprisingly,
the physical content depends on the normalization issues an d on the
choice of the frame of reference (in fact, on rotations).

B fieldDIPOLE SEPTUM MAGNET IN THE FAST KICKER SYSTEM FOR
MULTI-AXIS ADVANCED RADIOGRAPHY*

Department of Energy by University of California LawrenceLivermore National Laboratory under contract No.W-7405-Eng-48Abstract
Here we present designs for a static septum magnet
with two adjacent apertures where ideally one aperture has
a uniform dipole field and the other zero field. Two
designs are considered. One is a true septum magnet with
a thin layer of coils and materials separating the dipole
field region from the null field region. During the beam
switching process, the intense electron beam will spray
across this material septum leading to concerns on beam
control, vacuum quality, radiation damage, etc. due to the
lost particles. Therefore, another configuration without a
material septum is also considered. With this
configuration it is more difficult to achieve high field
quality near the transition region. Shaped shims are
designed to limit the degradation of beam quality
(emittance growth). This approach is closely related to a
previous septum magnet design with two oppositely
oriented dipole field regions presented by the authors [1].
Simulations are performed to obtain the magnetic field
profile in both designs. A PIC simulation is used to
transport a beam slice consisting of several thousand
particles through the magnet to estimate emittance growthin the magnet due to field non-uniformity.
1 INTRODUCTION
A linear induction accelerator based X-ray technology
can provide time-resolved, 3-D radiography capabilities fora hydrodynamic event. A kicker system, which includes a
stripline dipole kicker and a dipole septum magnet, is a
key component of this technology [2]. The kicker system
cleaves a series of intense electron beam micropulses, and
steers the beam into separate beam transport lines to
achieve multiple lines of sight on target. The first part ofthis fast kicker system is a high current stripline dipole
kicker that is only capable of imparting a small angular
bend to the beam centroid. This is followed by a static
field dipole septum magnet that increases the angular
separation of the centroids and steers them into separate
transport lines.
The ideal "box" geometry of the septum magnet for our
application is shown in Figure 1. There are two adjacent
apertures where ideally one aperture has a uniform dipole
magnetic field and the other zero field, separated by a thin
septum in the field transition region. The two beamsemerging from the kicker are incident on the magnet a
radial distance d from the centerline and are further
separated from each other by the dipole field as the beams
traverse the axial length
l of the magnet. Given the
beam energy, and the incident and exiting angles of the
beam at the dipole septum magnet, the magnetic field
needed to provide the desired bend can be calculated.
Assuming that the effect of the fringe field is negligible,
the required dipole magnetic field B is related to the beam
energy Eb and the incident and exiting beam angles θi

2 SEPTUM MAGNET DESIGN
The geometric parameters for the magnet designs are an
axial length l=50cm, incident and exiting beam angles
of θi=1o andθf=22 5.o. This results in a bending field
of B≈500Gauss for the beam energy of Eb≈20MeV.
The incident beam radius ( )rb and centroid separation
()2d at the septum magnet are 0.7 cm and 5.6 cm,
respectively. The beam centroid will displace a horizontal
distance ∆~.104cm while traversing the magnet.
The first design considered is a true septum magnet with
a thin layer of coils and materials separating the dipolefield region from the null field region. Figure 2 shows the
2-D geometry of this septum magnet. The beam goes
through the aperture ( ) 2h of 10 cm. The amp-turns of
each coil for the needed B = 500 Gauss field is
NI Bh≈/~µ01990 amp-turns, where µ0 is the free
space permittivity, and N the number of turns of the
coil.
Figure 2: Geometry of a dipole septum magnet with a
thin coil separating dipole and null field regions.
During the beam switching process, the intense
electron beam will spray across this material septum
leading to particle loss and concerns on beam control,
vacuum quality, radiation damage, etc. Therefore, another
configuration without a material septum is also considered. The schematic of the second design is shown
in Figure 3. It essentially consists of two "C" type dipole
magnets brought into close radial proximity. With this
configuration it is more difficult to achieve high field
quality near the field transition region. The rapidity of thetransition between the dipole field and null field regions
depends critically on hd/ , the ratio of magnet half-gap
h
relative to the incident centroid displacement d. The ratio
drb/ , where rb is the beam radius, must also be
sufficiently large so that the incident beam does not enter
the field transition region. Achievable d is limited by the
fast kicker technology and the maximum fast kicker to
septum magnet drift distance. Thus we need h to be as
small as possible in order to obtain good field quality near
the field transition region. However, h has to be large
enough to allow beam transport through the magnet
aperture with negligible scraping over the full range of
machine operating parameters. To enhance field linearity
and limit the degradation of beam quality (emittance
growth), shims are designed and utilized near the field
transition region.
3 MAGNETIC FIELD SIMULATIONS
The magnetic field in the dipole septum magnet was
simulated using the 2-D magnetostatic Poisson code.
Only the upper half of the symmetric structure wassimulated. Effects due to the iron saturation over the full
possible range of coil excitation are negligible. Figure 4
displays the field contours for the dipole septum magnet
which has a thin layer of coils in the middle. There is ahigh quality dipole field on the left side as indicated by the
straight field lines.

does not have a material septum separating the dipole and
the null field regions.
Figure 4: Simulated field lines in the half aperture of the
dipole septum magnet with a material septum.
The vertical magnetic field on the midplane (y = 0) of
the magnet as a function of x is plotted in Figure 5. The
predicted magnetic field on the left side is about 500
Gauss as expected. The magnetic field goes from the
maximum to a small value when crossing the center
septum coil. The electron beam entering the dipole field
side of the magnet experiences a uniform field when it
traverses the magnet. The simulation result also shows
that there is a small leakage field in the null field region.
With the use of a thin (3 mm) µ−metal sheet enclosure,
the magnitude of the magnetic field leakage is reduced to
less than 0.2 Gauss.

it is more difficult to achieve high field quality near the
transition region with this design.
Figure 6: Simulated field lines in the half aperture of the
dipole septum magnet without a material septum.
To enhance field linearity near the transition region,
shims of trapezoidal shape are designed. From Figure 7,
note that the field lines are straighter near the incident
beam position in the dipole field region because of the
shims. In addition, a µ−metal sheet enclosure can also be
utilized to reduce the leakage field in the null field region.
The effect of the shim is further illustrated in Figure 8,
where the vertical magnetic field By on the midplane ( y=0)
of the septum magnet is plotted. The solid curve
represents the magnetic field for the case where no shim
nor µ−metal sheet enclosure is used. It takes more than
10 cm for the magnetic field to go from the maximum
value to a small number. The leakage field in the null
field region is about 80 Gauss at the edge of the incident
beam. With the use of the µ−metal sheet enclosure
(dashed curve), the field drops to less than 0.1 Gauss at
that location. The third curve represents the case where
both shims and a µ−metal sheet enclosure are utilized.
The curve shows that the shim reduces the undesirable
variation in field at the beam edge and centroid for the
beam in the dipole field region, allowing the electron
beam to experience a more uniform field when it traverses
the magnet.
4 EMITTANCE GROWTH
SIMULATIONS
To determine beam quality for the various magnet
designs, a PIC code was utilized to examine the emittance
growth in the magnet [3]. A 20 MeV beam slice wastransported through the magnetic field region using the2-D field map for the structure. The results show that
there is no emittance growth when the electron beams go
through the material dipole septum magnet with a thin
layer of coils separating the dipole field region from the
null field region. For the design with no material
septum, there is no emittance growth when the beam
traverses through the null field region and 6% emittancegrowth when the beam goes through the dipole field
region. This emittance growth can be further reduced by
refining the design of the shims. These simulations do
not take into account the non-ideal effects (vacuum
degradation, plasma, etc.) resulting from the particle loss
on septum materials.

are used to make fields more uniform in transition region.

5 CONCLUSION
Two designs of a dipole septum magnet for the use in
multi-axis advanced radiography are presented. One design
avoids the use of a material septum. To improve the field
quality near the transition region in this design, shaped
shims are designed. Simulations are performed to estimatethe emittance growth in the magnet for both designs.

arXiv reference: physics/0010006 Relativistic angle -changes and frequency -changes
Eric Baird (eric_baird@compuserve.com)
We generate a set of "relativistic" predictions for the relationship between viewing angle
and apparent frequency, for each of three different non -transverse shift eq uations. We find
that a detector aimed transversely (in the lab frame) at a moving object should report a
redshift effect with two out of the three equations.
1. Introduction
One of the advantages of Einstein’s special
theory [1] over other contemporary models was
that it provided clear and comparatively
straightforward predictions for angle -changes
and frequency changes at different angles.
These calculations could be rather confusing in
the variety of aether models that were available
at the time ( see e.g. Lodge, 1894 [2] ).
In this paper, we derive the relativistic angle -
changes and wavelength -changes that would be
associated with each of the three main non -
transverse Doppler equations, if used as the
basis of a relativistic model.
2. Geometry
Wavefront shape
If a “stationary” observer emits a unidirectional
pulse of light and watches the progress of the
spreading wavefront, the signal that they detect
is not the outgoing wavefront itself, but a
secondary (incoming) signal generated when
the outgoing wavefro nt illuminates dust or
other objects in the surrounding region.
If we assumed that the speed of light was
constant in the observer’s own frame, any dust -
particles that the observer saw to be illuminated
at the same moment would be said to lie on a
spherical surface, and these “illumination -
events” would be said to be simultaneous.
In a different inertial frame, the observer’s
spatial coordinates change while these light -
signals are in flight. The description of the
same light -rays and illuminated surfa ces now
involves rays emanating from one spatial
position, striking dust -particles, and generating
secondary signals which then converge on a
different spatial position. In the new frame, our original illuminated
spherical surface now has to obey the condition
that the round -trip flight -time from
A→surface →B is the same for rays sent in any
direction, and a map of a cross -section through
the surface now gives us an elongated ellipse,
with the emission and absorption points being
the two ellipse foci.
The same set of illumination -events can mark
out a spherical spatial surface in one frame and
a spheroidal spatial surface in the other. [3][4]
Ellipse dimensions
Instead of using the “fixed flat aether approach”
for calculating distances in our diagram (setting
the distance between foci as v and the round -
trip distance as 2 c), we will instead construct
our map around the wavelength -distances that
must be fitted into it, regardless of whether or
not these distances are expected to fit nicely
into flat spaceti me.
The three Doppler formulae used are:
freq’ / freq = (c-v) / c … (1)
freq’ / freq = ( )( )vcvc +−/ … (2)
freq’ / freq = c / (c+v) … (3)
, where v is recession velocity
Equation (1) is often associated with emitter
theories, (3) is usually associated with an
absolute aether stationary in the observer’s
frame, and (2) is the intermediate prediction
used by special relativity (and is the root
product of the other two equations). [5] Relativistic aberration and frequency -changes Eric Baird 2 October 2000 page 2 / 4
arXiv reference: physics/0010006 3. Resulting wavefront maps
Ellipse proportions
Each of our three Doppler equations (1), (2),
(3) has the same ratio λ0°: λ180° , so all three
ellipses share the same proportions and angles.
Each ellipse is related to its immediate
neighbours by a Lorentz magnification or
reduction.
Reading information from the
wavefront map
Each wavefront map is drawn for a specific
velocity, and includes the reference -angles and
wavelengths for a “stationary” object (dashed
circular outline) and the corresponding angles
and wavelength distances for the moving object
(solid ellipse).
Each ray drawn on our map then has two
nominal angles (defined by where the ray hits
the perimeter of each wavefront outline), and
two nominal wavelengths (defined by the
distance from the common focus to each
wavefront outline).
Thus, for special relativity at v=0.75 c (second
diagram), we can immediately see that a light -
ray aimed at the moving particle at 90° in the
background frame will strike the front of the
particle at slightly less than 45° from the
particle’s path, and will ha ve a
wavelength that is about two thirds of the
original wavelength. Conversely, when the
particle emits a ray that is received at 90° in the
background frame, we can see that the
wavelength is magnified about 1½ times, and in
the particle’s frame was aimed rearwards at
roughly 45° from the perpendicular.
Precise calculations are given in section 5.
4. Special relativity
Lorentz contraction
The elliptical outline of the second map can be
converted back into a circle of radius c by
applying a Lorentz contraction in the direction
of motion.
The resulting diagram (above) then shows the
non-relativistic Nineteenth -Century predictions
for angle -changes and wavelength changes
associated with an object moving through a flat
stationary aether, viewed by a stationary
observer (Lodge [2], fig 4, pp.739).
Minkowski diagrams
We can also obtain special relativity’s elliptical
wavefront diagram by taking a standard
Minkowski light -cone diagram, [6] and slici ng
it at an angle parallel with the plane of
simultaneity of an object in a different frame.
Lorentz transforms can then be used to turn the
“skewed” lightcone diagram back into the usual
“unskewed” version. Relativistic aberration and frequency -changes Eric Baird 2 October 2000 page 3 / 4
arXiv reference: physics/0010006 5. Resulting formulae
Angle changes

The wavelength -changes in r ays arriving in the

The wavelengths generated by the second

1905 electrodynamics paper. Wavelengths
generated by (1) and (3) are simply special
relativity’s values, multiplied or divided by a
Lorentz term.
6. “Transverse” shift
predictions
Emitter ®®lab
If we aim a detector transversely at a moving
object (with our “ninety degrees” being
measured in the detector’s frame), the predicted
wavelength changes seen by the detector are:
freq’/freq = 1 – v²/c² … (i)
freq’/freq = 2 2/ 1 cv− … (ii)
freq’/freq = 1 … (iii)
As with the non -transverse predictions (1), (2),
(3), special relativity’s “transverse” predictions
for observed frequencies and apparent ruler -
changes are the root pro duct average of the
“non -relativistic” predictions made by
assuming a fixed speed of light in each frame. Lab®®emitter
If a signal is aimed at the moving object at 90°
in the lab frame, the wavelength changes seen
by the object should be:
freq’/freq = 1 … (i)
freq’/freq = 1 / 2 2/ 1 cv− … (ii)
freq’/freq = 1 / (1 – v²/c²) … (iii)
These predictions di ffer from the earlier set
because of our asymmetrical decision to
measure all angles in the laboratory frame .
7. Round -trip shift predictions
… transverse
If we aim a signal at a moving transponder and
catch the retransmitted signal, then if both
signals paths are transverse to the transponder
path in the laboratory frame, multiplying the
two previous sets of results together gives us
final round -trip predictions of:
freq’/freq = 1 – v²/c² … (i)
freq’/freq = 1 … (ii)
freq’/freq = 1/ (1 – v²/c²) … (iii)
Equation (1) predicts a Lorentz -squared
redshift after two lab -transverse frame
transitions, and special relativity gives a null
result.
… non -transverse
We could also aim our source and detector at
the transponder non-transversely. Multiplying
the approach and recession shifts gives:

Relativistic aberration and frequency -changes Eric Baird 2 October 2000 page 4 / 4
arXiv reference: physics/0010006 … at any angle
If we mount our detector and signal source on a
turnt able, the angle that the source →detector
line makes with the transponder path has no
effect on the final calculated round -trip shift.
If we aim two lasers collinearly into an ion
beam, and measure the non -transverse
frequency shifts by measuring how far the
lasers need to be detuned in order to achieve
resonance in the beam, [7] the relationship
between the product of the shifted frequencies
and the original frequency should be unaffected
by any misalignment of the lasers or spread of
observation angles, [8] provided that the
angular error is the same for both observations.
8. Consequences
Generality of the E=mc2 result
In a previous paper [9] we showed that the
E=mc2 mass -energy relationship can be derived
from the frame -dependent total momentum of
two plane waves emitted directly forwards and
backwards along the direction of motion, if the
non-transverse shift law is (1), with the
equivalent calculation using (2) giving
E=mc2 / √ (1 – v2/c2). Einstein’s 1905 “inertia”
paper [10] gives a more general calcula tion for
an opposing pair of plane waves tilted at any
angle in the emitter -frame.
Since the angle -dependent information needed
to calculate the momentum components of
light-rays in the first two elliptical maps differs
only by a Lorentz scaling, the angle -
independence of the 1905 derivation also
applies to our “emitter -theory” derivation.
Reworking special relativity
Ellipse 3(ii) contains the same key relationships
as special relativity, but without explicitly
using the special theory’s assumption of flat
spacetime, or by dividing the phenomena into
separate “propagation” and “Lorentz”
components.
It is possible that other researchers may be
interested in examining a class of model in
which local lightspeed constancy is regulated
by spacetime distortions associated with the
relative motion of physical particles (e.g. [11]),
but which generates the same basic shift
predictions as special theory.
We do not expect to see a theory based on
3(iii). 9. Conclusions
The wavefront maps presented in section 3 can
be us eful as a visualisation aid for relativistic
problems.
Investigating the properties of these maps
raised three additional points:
• Special relativity’s aberration formula can
be calculated from general principles
without committing to special relativity’s
shift equations.
• Transverse redshifts can also be derived
from a first -order Doppler equation,
although the strength of the effect is
different under special relativity.
• Special relativity’s key relationships can be
deduced from the principle of relati vity
and the “relativistic Doppler” shift
equation without assuming that spacetime
is flat, suggesting the possibility of a “non -
flat” variation on special relativity.
Although these points are probably not new,
they can be difficult to derive by other means.

MODELING OF AN INDUCTIVE ADDER KICKER PULSER
FOR DARHT-II*

Department of Energy by University of California LawrenceLivermore National Laboratory under contract No.W-7405-Eng-48Abstract
An all solid-state kicker pulser for a high current
induction accelerator (the Dual-Axis Radiographic
Hydrodynamic Test facility DARHT-2) has been designed
and fabricated. This kicker pulser uses multiple solid state
modulators stacked in an inductive-adder configuration.
Each modulator is comprised of multiple metal-oxide-
semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) which
quickly switch the energy storage capacitors across a
magnetic induction core. Metglas is used as the core
material to minimize loss. Voltage from each modulator
is inductively added by a voltage summing stalk and
delivered to a 50 ohm output cable. A lumped element
circuit model of the inductive adder has been developed to
optimize the performance of the pulser. Results for
several stalk geometries will be compared with
experimental data.
1 INTRODUCTION
Linear induction accelerator based x-ray technology can
provide time-resolved, 3-D radiography capabilities for a
hydrodynamic event. A key component of this technology
is a kicker system[1]. The kicker system cleaves a series
of intense electron beam micropulses, and steers the beam
into separate beam transport lines to achieve multiple
lines of sight. The first part of this fast kicker system is ahigh current stripline dipole kicker. The original design of
the pulser which drives this stripline kicker was based on
planar triodes[2]. Although the performance of the pulser
based on this design was very good, the availability of thehigh frequency planar triodes in the future has become a
concern. This led to the development of an all solid-state
kicker pulser design for the Dual-Axis Radiographic
Hydrodynamic Test facility DARHT-2. The new pulser
design was based on the Advanced Radiograph Machine
(ARM) modulator technology [3]. It uses multiple solid-
state modulators stacked in an inductive-adder
configuration. Each modulator is comprised of multiple
metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors
(MOSFETs) which quickly switch the energy storage
capacitors across a magnetic induction core. Metglas is
used as the core material to minimize loss. Voltage from
each modulator is inductively added by a voltage summing
stalk and delivered to a 50 ohm output cable. The cross
section of this solid-state kicker pulser is shown in Figure1. Only three stacked modules are shown in the figure. A
picture of the fabricated solid-state kicker pulser is shownin Figure 2.

Primary2 INDUCTIVE ADDER MODEL
A lumped element circuit model of the inductive adder
has been developed to optimize the rise time and
performance of the pulser. Figure 3 shows the lumped
element equivalent circuit model of the inductive adder.

The capacitance C_s and the resistance R1 are 24 µF
and 50 Ohms, respectively. The load resistance R_load is50 Ohms. The inductance of the transformer primary
L_primary is 20.9 µH. The effective leakage inductance
L_leakage is 20 nH.
3 SIMULATION RESULTS
Output voltage waveforms were simulated using the
circuit model for different stalk geometries. These cases
were chosen based on the stalks made for the experiment.
Figure 4 shows the plots of output voltage versus timewith a 50 Ohm stalk. The capacitors are charged to 650 V
Figure 4: Output voltage versus time with a 50 Ω stalk.initially. With thirty modulator stacks, the total voltage
should go to 19.5 kilovolts. For the simulation, the
switches are closed from 10 ns to 100 ns. With a 50
Ohm stalk, L1 and C1 are 6.5 nH and 2.6 pF,
respectively. If a stalk is matched to the load, we will
expect the output voltage waveform to be a square wave
except during the rise and fall time. The output voltage
plot of the 30
th stack in Figure 4 shows that the 50 Ohm
stalk doesn't match into the 50 Ohm load. The waveform
indicates that the impedance of the stalk should be reduced
in order to match into the load impedance. This is due to
the presence of the effective leakage inductance. The plots
of output voltage versus time with a 12.6 Ohm stalk areshown in Figure 5. With 12.6 Ohm stalk, L1 and C1 are
1.6 nH and 10.3 pF, respectively. There is an overshoot
in the output voltage waveform in Figure 5. This
indicates that in order to match into the load impedance,
the impedance of the stalk should be increased .
Figure 5: Output voltage versus time with a 12.6 Ω stalk.
Figure 6 shows the plots of output voltage versus
time with a 18.9 Ohm stalk. With 18.9 Ohm stalk, L1and C1 are 2.5 nH and 6.9 pF, respectively. The output
voltage waveform indicates that this 18.9 Ohm stalk
provides a better match into the load impedance compared
to other available stalks. This result agrees with the
experimental data. The output voltage versus time from
experimental data with 50 Ohm stalk is shown in Figure7. For the experiment, the output voltage has a negative
value. We can see that the output voltage waveforms are
similar (except longer rise time) between the simulation
result and experimental data. The output voltage versus
time from the experimental data with a 12.5 Ohm stalk isshown in Figure 8. There is an overshoot in the output
voltage waveform as we have also seen from the
simulation result.

4□ DIAGNOSTICS□
A□ key□ element□ in□ improving□ the□ performance□ of□ the□
SLC□ was□ the□ development□ of□ precision,□ non-invasive□
diagnostics□ to□ characterize□ and□ monitor□ the□ beams.□
Breakthroughs□ in□ understanding□ often□ followed□□
quickly□ on□ the□ heels□ of□ a□ new□ diagnostic□ tool□ which □
allowed□insight□into□the□beam□quality□and□correlati ons.□
One□example□was□the□characterization□of□a□microwave □
instability□in□the□damping□rings.□Beginning□in□1990 ,□the□
maximum□ beam□ intensity□ was□limited□by□errant□pulses □
which□ created□ high□ backgrounds□ in□ the□ detector.□ By□
correlating□ the□ energy□ and□ trajectory□ on□ a□ pulse-to -
pulse□ basis,□ the□ problem□ was□ traced□ to□ the□ damping□
rings.□ Only□ when□ a□ diagnostic□ was□ developed□ to□
monitor□the□bunch□length□continuously□while□the□bea m□
was□in□the□rings□was□it□possible□to□identify□the□ca use,□a□
longitudinal□ instability□ due□ to□ the□ interaction□ of□ the□
intense□ bunches□ with□ the□ impedance□ of□ the□ vacuum□
chambers.□The□beam□intensity□could□be□increased□onl y□
after□these□chambers□were□rebuilt□in□1994.□□
Emittance□ preservation□ in□ a□ linear□ collider□ require s□
tight□control□of□the□trajectories□and□optical□match ing□in□
the□ linacs□ and□ transport□ lines.□ If□ the□ beam□ is□ not□
matched□ to□ the□ lattice□at□the□entrance□of□the□linac ,□the□
inherent□energy□spread□of□the□beam□will□cause□slice s□of□
different□energy□to□filament.□Dispersion□from□the□b eam□
passing□off-axis□through□the□quadrupoles□interacts□ with□
the□ correlated□ energy□ spread□ along□the□beam□to□crea te□
an□ x–z□ (or□ y–z)□ correlation□ or□ tilt.□ If□ the□ beam□ passes□
off-axis□ through□ the□ structures,□ wakefields□ from□ th e□
head□of□the□bunch□act□on□the□tail□to□cause□another□ x–z□
correlation.□To□avoid□these□effects,□one□must□be□ab le□to□
accurately□characterize□the□beam□profile□and□optimi ze□it□
as□a□function□of□lattice□and□trajectory□changes.□
□The□ key□ to□ emittance□ control□ at□ the□ SLC□ was□ the□
development□of□wire□scanners□which□allowed□a□precis e,□
rapid,□ non-invasive□ measurement□ of□ the□ beam□ profile .□
The□ first□ scanners□ were□ installed□ at□ the□ beginning□ and□
end□of□the□linac□in□1990□[9].□Four□scanners□separat ed□in□ betatron□ phase□ provide□ a□ measurement□ of□ the□ beam□
emittance□in□a□few□seconds.□The□wires□scan□across□t he□
beam□ during□ a□ sequence□ of□ pulses□ scattering□ a□ small □
fraction□ of□ the□ particles□ on□ each□ pulse.□ Downstream □
detectors□ measure□ the□ number□ of□scattered□particles □at□
each□ step□ to□ map□ out□the□beam□profile.□Wire□scanner s□
were□ absolutely□ essential□ for□ matching□ the□ positron □
beam□ into□ the□ SLC□ linac□ since□ invasive□ monitors□ lik e□
fluorescent□ screens□ would□ interrupt□ the□ electrons□
needed□to□produce□more□positrons.□Over□several□year s,□
more□ than□ 60□ wire□ scanners□ were□ installed□ throughou t□
the□ SLC□ from□ the□ injector□ to□ the□ final□ focus□ to□
characterize□ the□ beam□ transverse□ size□ and□ energy□
distribution.□Many□of□these□were□scanned□routinely□ by□
completely□ automated□ procedures□ to□ provide□ real-tim e□
monitoring□ and□ long□ term□ histories□ of□ the□ beam□
properties.□ In□ 1996,□ a□ novel□ ‘laser□ wire’□ beam□ size □
monitor□ was□ developed□ and□ installed□ near□ the□SLC□IP □
[10]□ to□ measure□ the□ individual□ micron-scale□ beams□
which□ would□ destroy□ any□ conventional□ wire.□ This□
device□ placed□ an□ optical□ scattering□ center□ inside□ t he□
beam□ pipe□ with□ light□ from□ a□ high□ power□ pulsed□ laser □
brought□to□a□focus□of□400-500□nm.□The□e +□or□e -□beam□
was□ scanned□ across□ the□ laser□ spot□ and□ its□ shape□
reconstructed□from□the□number□of□scattered□particle s□at□
each□ step.□ This□ device□ was□ a□ prototype□ for□ the□ beam □
size□monitors□which□will□be□needed□for□the□micron-s ize□
beams□of□a□future□linear□collider.□□
To□ maintain□ the□ optical□ matching□ to□ high□ precision□
required□not□only□the□development□of□the□measuremen t□

in□the□data□processing□algorithms.□Typically□four□w ires□
were□used□to□provide□a□redundant□measurement□of□the □
phase□ space.□ Non-gaussian□ distributions□ required□
different□ fitting□ algorithms□ to□ parameterize□ the□ be am□

pulses,□ it□ was□ essential□ to□ filter□ out□ errant□ data. □ Beam□

for□linear□collider□diagnostics.□In□addition□to□pro viding□

5□ FEEDBACK□
Another□lesson□from□the□SLC□experience□is□the□cruci al□
importance□ of□ feedback□ to□ combat□ the□ inherent□
instabilities□ of□ a□ linear□ collider.□ Feedback□ contro lled□ the□beam□energy□and□trajectory,□stabilized□the□pola rized□
source,□ and□ maintained□ and□ optimized□ collisions.□
Several□ generations□ of□ development□ were□ required□ to □
produce□the□flexible□feedback□systems□used□througho ut□
the□ SLC.□ The□ first□ ‘slow’□ SLC□ energy□ and□ trajectory □
feedback□was□implemented□in□1985.□This□was□followed □
by□ prototype□ pulse-to-pulse□ feedback□ using□ dedicate d□
hardware.□Energy□and□trajectory□feedback□at□the□end □of□
the□linac□was□developed□in□1987□and□collision□feedb ack□
in□ 1989.□ A□ generalized□ database-driven□ system□ [11]□
was□implemented□starting□in□1991.□This□feedback□use d□
existing□ hardware,□ making□ it□ relatively□ easy□ to□ add □ a□
new□ system□ anywhere□ needed.□ In□ order□ to□ avoid□
overcorrection,□ the□ sequence□ of□ trajectory□ feedback s□
along□ the□ main□ linac□ were□ connected□ by□ a□ ‘cascade’□
system□ which□ allowed□ each□ feedback□ to□ communicate□
with□ its□ next□ downstream□ neighbor.□ Transfer□ matrice s□
between□ the□ feedbacks□ were□ adaptively□ calculated.□
Online□ diagnostics□ of□ the□ feedback□ performance□ were □
expanded□ over□ several□ years□ to□ provide□ better□
monitoring□ and□ histories.□ A□ luminosity□ optimization □
feedback□ was□ developed□ in□ 1997□ to□ improve□ the□
resolution□of□the□final□optical□tuning□at□the□IP.□B y□1998,□
the□ SLC□ had□ more□ than□ 50□ feedback□ systems□
controlling□over□250□beam□parameters.□
The□optimization□feedback□is□an□interesting□example □
of□ a□ system□ which□ may□ have□ wide□ applicability□ for□
future□machines.□To□achieve□and□maintain□the□minimu m□
beam□ size□ at□ the□ SLC□ IP,□ five□ final□ corrections□ wer e□
routinely□ optimized□ for□ each□ beam.□ These□ included□
centering□of□the□ x□and□ y□beam□waist□positions,□zeroing□
of□the□dispersion□ ηx□and□ ηy,□and□minimization□of□an□ x–y□
coupling□ term.□ Since□ the□ first□ SLC□ collisions,□ an□
automated□procedure□was□used□to□scan□the□beam□size□ as□
a□ function□ of□ each□ parameter□ and□ set□ the□ optimum□
value.□The□beam□size□was□measured□with□a□beam-beam□
deflection□scan□but□this□technique□lacked□the□resol ution□
required□ to□ accurately□ measure□ micron-size,□ disrupt ed□
beams.□It□was□estimated□that□poor□optimization□caus ed□a□
20-30%□ reduction□ in□ luminosity□ during□ the□ 1996□ run□
[12].□ For□ 1997,□ a□ novel□ ‘dithering’□ feedback□ was□
implemented□ which□ optimized□ a□ direct□ measure□of□the □
luminosity□(i.e.□the□beamstrahlung□signal)□as□a□fun ction□
of□small□changes□in□each□parameter□[13].□By□averagi ng□
over□1000s□of□beam□pulses,□it□was□possible□to□impro ve□
the□ resolution□ by□ a□ factor□ of□ 10.□ A□ similar□ ‘dither ing’□
feedback□ was□ developed□ to□ minimize□ emittance□ at□ the □
end□ of□ the□ linac□ but□ never□ fully□ commissioned.□
Optimization□ feedback□ modeled□ on□ this□ system□ has□
been□incorporated□in□the□designs□of□future□collider s.□
The□SLC□feedback□systems□were□essential□for□reliabl e□
operation□ of□ the□ accelerator□ and□ provided□ several□ l ess□
obvious□ benefits.□ Feedback□ compensated□ for□ slow□
environmental□ changes□ such□ as□ diurnal□ temperature□
drifts□or□decreasing□laser□intensity□and□provided□a □fast□
response□ to□ changes□ such□ as□ klystrons□ cycling.□ It□
facilitated□ a□ smooth□ recovery□from□any□interruption □to□ operation.□ Feedback□ improved□ operating□ efficiency□b y□
providing□ uniform□ performance□ independent□ of□ the□
attention□or□proficiency□of□a□particular□operations □crew.□
An□important□benefit□was□that□the□feedback□decouple d□
different□ systems□ so□ that□ tuning□ could□ proceed□ non-
invasively□ in□ different□ parts□ of□ the□ machine□ while□
delivering□ luminosity.□ Feedback□ also□ provided□ a□ ver y□
powerful□ monitor□ of□ many□ aspects□ of□ the□ machine□
performance.□ Much□ of□ the□ SLC□ progress□ came□ from□
using□ feedback□ to□ automate□ as□ many□ routine□ tuning□
operations□as□possible.□
In□ spite□ of□ the□ critical□ importance□ of□ feedback□ for □
SLC□ operation,□ there□ were□ several□ areas□ in□ which□ th e□
feedback□performance□was□less□than□optimal.□Many□of □
the□ problems□ occurred□ in□ the□ sequence□ of□ trajectory □
feedbacks□ along□ the□ main□ linac.□ To□ avoid□ having□
multiple□feedbacks□respond□to□an□incoming□disturban ce,□
a□simple□one-to-one□system□was□used□where□each□loop □
communicated□with□the□next□downstream□feedback.□The □
topology□ of□ this□ ‘cascade’□ system□ was□ limited□ by□
bandwidth□ and□ connectivity□ constraints.□ However,□ in □
the□ presence□ of□ strong□ wakefields,□ the□ beam□ transpo rt□
depends□ on□ the□ origin□ of□ the□ perturbation□ and□ a□ mor e□
complex□ interconnection□ is□ required.□ Each□ feedback□
must□ have□ information□ from□ all□ upstream□ systems□ to□
determine□ the□ ideal□ orbit□ correction.□ Simulations□
indicate□ that□ a□ feedback□ system□ with□ a□ many-to-one□
cascade□ can□ avoid□ overcorrection□ problems□ [14].□
Another□ problem□ which□ has□ been□ studied□ and□
understood□concerns□the□configuration□of□monitors□a nd□
correctors□ in□ each□ system.□ Traditional□ SLC□ feedback s□
were□ distributed□ over□ at□ most□ two□ sectors□ (200□ m),□
constraining□ the□ orbit□ locally□ but□ allowing□ oscilla tions□
to□ grow□ elsewhere.□ Simulations□ have□ shown□ that□ a□
better□ trajectory□ can□ be□ achieved□ if□ the□ devices□ ar e□
distributed□ over□ a□ longer□ region.□ The□ success□ of□ th e□
SLC□feedback□systems□coupled□with□new□understanding □
of□their□limitations□has□produced□a□robust□design□f or□the□

6□ TUNING□ALGORITHMS□

the□ SLC□ linac□ was□ to□ introduce□ a□ deliberate□ betatro n□
oscillation□ to□ generate□ wakefield□ tails□ which□

Wire□ scanner□ measurements□ of□ the□ beam□ profile□ were□
used□ to□ characterize□ the□ wakefield□ tails,□ and□ then□ an□

arXiv:physics/0010009 3 Oct 2000The Effect of an Under-Dense Plasma Density Gradient on the Backstreaming
Ion MechanismGeorge J. Caporaso
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California 94550 USA
Abstract
The space charge limited emission of ions from a
target in the focus of an intense relativistic electron beam
is studied analytically for the case of a spatially varying
target density profile. In particular, the emission in the
presence of an under-dense plasma shelf in contact with
the solid density target dramatically differs from the case
of an abrupt solid-vacuum boundary. It is found that an
under-dense gradient scale length several times that of the
beam radius at the focus reduces the emission by at least
an order of magnitude over that to be expected from a
solid-vacuum boundary.
1 INTRODUCTION
High-resolution x-ray radiography requires the
production of a small (≈1 mm diameter) spot on the
surface of a Bremsstrahlung converter target by a
relativistic electron beam of at least several kiloamperes
[1]. A mechanism that might possibly disrupt the focal
spot was proposed by D. Welch [2]. Bombardment of the
target by a high power electron beam would lead to the
rapid formation of a surface plasma. A large axial electric
field would appear at the surface due to the charge
redistribution on the target arising from cancellation of the
beam's radial electric field. This axial field would expel
the ions into the beam. These backstreaming ions would
acquire energies on the order of the space charge depressed
potential of the beam and would propagate upstream at
very high speeds where they would act as an electrostatic
focusing lens. The focusing due to these moving ions
would cause the electron beam to pinch upstream of the
target and then rapidly diverge. The result would be a spot
size that would rapidly increase in time at the converter
target.
In the case of multiple pulses striking the same target
the situation might be modified by the presence of a
plasma left over from the previous pulses. The leading
edge of this plasma could be very tenuous.
We consider the effects of the leading edge of the
plasma, which is of lower density than the beam. In this
region the plasma electrons will be expelled and a “bare”
ion column will be present. We assume that the axial
electric field is low enough that we can neglect the motion
of these background ions. We treat emission of ions from
the “critical surface” where the beam density is equal to
the ion density and impose the space-charge limited flow
condition.
An analytic model is presented for a "beer can"
geometry in which a close fitting conducting tube
surrounds the beam right up to the target.
The under-dense plasma is modeled as having an
exponentially varying density.A model of backstreaming ion emission from a sharp
boundary was given previously [3]. That reference derived
an analytic solution for the emission of ions from a planar
target for the same geometry and discussed the subsequent
disruption of the electron beam focal spot. This paper
considers the more general case of a target that has a
tenuous plasma in the vicinity of the target. The general
solution is found as a function of the scale length of the
under-dense plasma density gradient. In the limit that the
scale length approaches zero the solution of reference [3]
is recovered.*
Because the source of the electric field responsible for
the axial flow of ions results from the rapid variation in
radial electric field due to the neutralizing effects of the
target, it is of interest to consider the effects of a
neutralizing background that varies from zero density up to
the density of the beam. By spreading out the region over
which the radial electric field is neutralized it is expected
that the axial electric field and hence the ion emission will
be reduced.
2 TARGET GEOMETRY AND MODEL
Consider the geometry shown in figure 1. An electron
beam that just fits inside a cylindrical conducting tube
impinges normally on a conducting plane (target). We
assume that the beam and tube have radius a and extend
infinitely in the z-direction. We take the target to have a
diffuse boundary with an exponentially varying density.
We consider the case of steady-state space-charge-limited
emission of ions.

charge depressed potential of the beam, which would reduce
the backstreaming ion current.
* The value of the neutralization fraction given in equation
[20] of reference [3] is in error.We will assume that the target surface is sufficiently
rich in ions that the flow will be space-charge-limited.
The steady-state emission is determined by Poisson's
equation for the electrostatic potential (in c.g.s. units)
∇2Φ = −4πρ= −4π ρ
b1−f z( )( ) +ρ
i [ ]. [1]
Here f(z) represents the neutralization fraction of the
beam’s space charge (ρb) due to a static ion background.
ρi represents the charge density of the backstreaming ions.
The ion velocity can be found from the conservation of
energy (since the target and tube are grounded)
v
i= −2eΦ/M [2]
where M is the ion mass and e is the ion charge. The
(emitted) ion charge density is given by
ρi=J r( )/v
i [3]
where J(r) is the ion current density.
Equation [1] is two dimensional (r and z). A great
simplification is made possible by choosing the beam
profile to be of the form
ρb= −ρoJoαr( ) [4]
where Jo is the zeroth order Bessel function and
α=x01/a. Here a is the radius of the beer can, x01 is
the first root of J o and -ρo is the on-axis charge density of
the beam.
Let us seek solutions which have the following form:
Φr,z( )= −ψz( )Joαr( ) [5]
and
J r( )= ΛoJo3/2αr( ) [6]
where ψ(z) and Λo are to be determined.
Substitution of Equations [2] through [6] into Equation

We choose f( ζ) such that the critical surface occurs at z=0.
fζ( )=e−ζ/λ. [10]The parameter λ is normalized gradient scale length.
We would expect to recover previous results for a sharp
boundary as λ→0. With these definitions the differential
equation for the dimensionless potential becomes
∂2Ω
∂ζ2− Ω −µ
Ω=e−ζ/λ−1
. [11]
We use the boundary conditions appropriate for space-
charge-limited flow arising from the critical surface (where
the neutralization fraction is one):
Ω0( )=0 dΩ0( )/dζ=0. [12]
As ζ→∞ we have
Ω

The asymptotic fractional neutralization of the beam due to
the backstreaming ions is then just

The differential equation [11] can be solved numerically
and reveals that the potential changes very abruptly from
zero at the target surface to the space charge depressed
potential of the beam (as reduced by the backstreaming
ions) over a distance of the order of the beam radius.
When there is an under-dense plasma gradient the potential
changes more slowly and rises to a higher value indicating
less neutralization due to backstreaming ions.
The solution of Equation [11] is shown in Figure 2.
Note that the potential changes rapidly over a distance of
order the beam radius when no plasma is present.

3 Discussion
Figure 3b. shows that the neutralization fraction is
decreased by an order of magnitude when the scale length is
equal to a beam diameter. For typical parameters of
interest for radiography the plasma blow-off speed is onthe order of at least several mm/µsec. Thus, the scale
length will be on the order of the beam diameter after
several hundred nanoseconds. This time is sufficiently
short that even though a plasma exists when a second
beam pulse hits the target there may be no significant
backstreaming ion emission.

4 CONCLUSIONS
We have provided a solution to the problem of the
space charge limited flow of ions from the critical surface
of a target in the presence of an exponentially varying
under-dense ion background. Modest density scale lengths
are shown to substantially reduce the axial electric field
and hence the emission of backstreaming ions from the
target. This result indicates that the backstreaming ion
mechanism may not be a serious threat to multiple pulse
trains that hit a Bremsstrahlung target.

Abstract
The ion-hose (or fast-ion) instability sets limits on the
allowable vacuum in a long-pulse, high current
accelerator. Beam-induced ionization of the background
gas leads to the formation of an ion channel which
couples to the transverse motion of the beam. The
instability is studied analytically and numerically for
several ion frequency distributions. The effects of beam
envelope oscillations on the growth of the instability will
be discussed. The saturated non-linear growth of the
instability is derived analytically and numerically for two
different ion frequency distributions.
1 INTRODUCTION
With the advent of DARHT-2 and its 2 µsec pulse
concern has surfaced over the ion-hose instability that may
arise from the beam's interaction with the channel created
from the background gas via collisional ionization [1]. We
consider a simple model with a τ-dependent neutralization
(τ here is defined as the distance back from the beam head
divided by βc). The model we use for the channel is really
more appropriate for a channel that has been preformed
however a more correct treatment (which is also more
complicated) produces the same asymptotic result so we
adopt this one for simplicity. Let y represent the centroid
position of the beam and ψ represents the centroid position
of the ion channel. We consider the case of a smooth
external focusing force (the case of solenoidal focusing is
well represented in the asymptotic solutions by replacing
kß the betatron wavenumber by kc/2, one half of the
cyclotron wavenumber).
Since we will also follow the non-linear development
of the instability we choose as a starting point the
equations used by Buchanan to describe the coupling of a
beam and channel, each assumed to have a Gaussian spatial
profile [2]. The beam has Gaussian radius a while the
channel has Gaussian radius b such that the parameter Ro
is given by
Ro2≡a2+b2. [1]
This parameter results from integrating the force due to the
beam over the distribution of the channel and vice versa.
The model is
∂2ˆy
∂ζ2+ˆy+εxα2ˆy−ˆψ( )=0 [2]
∂2ˆψ
∂x2+α2ˆψ−ˆy( )=0 [3]
where α2≡1−e−ˆy−ˆψ( )2
ˆy−ˆψ( )2 [4]
with ˆy=y/Ro and ˆψ=ψ/Ro. Here ζ=kβz, x=ωoτ
and
ε≡k2
kβ2ωoτo [5]
where τo is the neutralization time of the background gas
and is approximately given by
τo≅10−9/Ptorrsec [6]
k2 is the coupling strength given by (I is the beam current
and Io is ≈ 17 kA)
k2=2I
γβIoRo2, [7]
and ωo is the ion (angular) "sloshing" frequency in the
field of the beam
ωo2=2qI
McRo2. [8]
Here M is the ion mass, q the ion charge and c the speed
of light.
2 LINEARIZED EQUATIONS
If both y and ψ are small compared to Ro equations [2]
and [3] may be linearized as
∂2y
∂ς2+y+εx y−ψ( )=0 [9]
∂2ψ
∂x2+ψ−y=0. [10]
We will solve these equations for a “tickler” excitation,
that is
∂y0,x( )
∂ς=.01sin(x) [11]
y0,x( )=ψ0,x( )=∂ψ ζ,0( )
∂x=0. [12]
These equations are appropriate for a beam and channel
system that are characterized by a single betatron and ion
“slosh” frequency. We are treating the case of solenoidal
focusing that we assume is dominant compared to the
focusing provided by the ion channel. Under this conditionit is a good approximation to neglect the spread in betatron
frequency that will result due to the non-linearity of the
beam-channel force which arises from the non-uniform
spatial profile of the channel.
However, it is not a good approximation to ignore the
spread in ion resonance frequencies which arises from the
non-uniform spatial profile of the beam. To account for
this spread we use the “spread mass” model [3]. We
modify the model by splitting the channel centroid into
“filaments” labeled by a subscript λ which characterizes the
frequency of a particular filament. Equation [10] is thus
modified as
∂2ψλ
∂x2+λ ψλ−y( )=0. [13]
The position of the channel centroid is then found by
averaging the individual positions of the filaments over a
distribution function
ψ=fλ( )∫ψλdλ. [14]
For numerical work we will use the conventional definition
and take a “top hat” distribution where
fλ( )=1
θ for 1−θ≤λ≤1. [15]
For analytic work we will use a Lorentzian distribution
(and equation [13] with λ2 instead of λ):
fλ( )=δ/π
λ−1( )2+δ2 [16]
where δ is the half-width of the distribution and the range
of λ is from −∞ to +∞.
3 EFFECTS OF ENVELOPE
OSCILLATIONS
We now wish to investigate the effects of an envelope
mismatch in the accelerator on the growth of the
instability. Since the dominant focusing for the beam is
provided by the solenoidal field, an envelope mismatch
will result in a beam radius that varies as
rb=a1+µsin2ς( ) [17]
where we have assumed a particular choice of phase for the
envelope oscillations without loss of generality. Because
the channel is formed by the beam we can expect that there
will be a similar variation for the channel radius. Thus the
ion resonance frequency will be periodically varying in z.
This is analogous to the case of “stagger tuning” the
resonant frequency of cavities to detune the beam breakup
instability.
We will investigate this effect by averaging over the
fast ζ and x oscillations of both the channel and beam
centroid positions [4].First we write the factor g( ζ) as
gς( )=1+µsin2ς. [18]
Equations [9] and [13] then become
∂2y
∂ς2+y+εx
gζ( )y−ψ( )=0 [19]
and
∂2ψλ
∂x2+λ2
gζ( )ψλ−y( )=0. [20]
Then we may use the Laplace transform method
(transforming in x to s and back again) along with
equations [14] and [16] to obtain
ψ=dx'yζ,x'( )
gζ( )e−δx−x'( )
gζ( )sinx−x'( )
gζ( )+δcosx−x'( )
gζ( )0x∫
. [21]
We now write y( ζ,x) as
yζ,x( )=Aζ,x( )eiζ−x( ) [22]
where A is regarded as a slowly varying amplitude such
that
1
A∂A
∂ζ<<1;1
A∂A
∂x<<1. [23]
Treating µ as a small parameter, averaging equations [19]
and [21] in ζ over 2π, we find after considerable algebra
i∂A
∂ζ+εx
2A−i
2dx'Aζ,x'( )Joµ
2x−x'( )e−

. [24]
By Laplace transforming equation [24] in x to s and using
the method of steepest descents we find the asymptotic
growth rate
y∝eΓko,so( ) [25]
where
Γko,so( )≈ −δx+x−µ2
8+µ4
64+εζ

. [26]
The exponential growth given by equations [25] and [26] is
shown in Fig. 1. µ
Fig. 1. Asymptotic growth as a function of µ for δ =.05.
We see that a small envelope mismatch can significantly
reduce the linear growth, particularly for a large growth
rate.
4 NON-LINEAR DEVELOPMENT
It is clear from equations [2] through [4] that when the
beam and channel displacements become of order Ro the
beam-channel force falls off significantly as compared to
the linear approximation used in equations [9] and [10].
We now extend equation [13] into the non-linear range
(for a Lorentzian distribution) as
∂2ˆψλ
∂x2+λ2αλ2ˆψλ−ˆy( )=0. [27]
By takingˆy=Aζ,x( )eiζ−x( )and ˆψλ=Bλζ,x( )eiζ−x( )
with A and B both slowly varying we may average
equations [2] and [27] to obtain (assuming B>>A)

abscissa corresponds to 10 e-folds of linear growth of the

5 CONCLUSIONS
We have shown that envelope oscillations that lead to
a periodic detuning of the ion resonant frequency
significantly reduce the linear growth rate of the
instability. In addition, when the amplitude of the ion
channel motion becomes of the order of Ro, the beam-
channel force falls off significantly from the linear
approximation. The betatron motion of the beam/channel
causes a periodic modulation of the ion resonant frequency
which increases the effective damping of the oscillations.
This effect leads to the saturation of the beam centroid
displacement at an amplitude that is of the order of 2δψ or
about 10 - 30% of the channel amplitude.

PROGRESS IN INDUCTION LINACS
George J. Caporaso
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California 94550 USA
Abstract
This presentation will be a broad survey of progress in
induction technology over the past four years. Much
work has been done on accelerators for hydrodynamic test
radiography and other applications. Solid-state pulsers
have been developed which can provide unprecedented
flexibility and precision in pulse format and accelerating
voltage for both ion and electron induction machines.
Induction linacs can now be built which can operate with
MHz repetition rates. Solid-state technology has also
made possible the development of fast kickers for
precision control of high current beams. New insulator
technology has been developed which will improve
conventional induction linacs in addition to enabling a
new class of high gradient induction linacs.
1 INTRODUCTION
The last several years have seen dramatic advances in
linear induction accelerator technology. There have been
revolutionary advances in pulsed power drivers for both
accelerators and fast kickers that now offer unprecedented
speed, pulse format flexibility and voltage precision.
Some of this new technology will be used in the 2nd axis
of DARHT. New compact focusing lenses have been
developed for Heavy Ion Fusion drivers and advances in
insulators and dielectrics for pulse forming lines offer the
possibility to realize a new class of induction accelerators
with gradients an order of magnitude higher than the
current state of the art.
2 ADVANCED RADIOGRAPHY AS A
DRIVER OF INDUCTION
TECHNOLOGY
A significant impetus for the development of advanced
technology has come from the area of flash x-ray
radiography for stockpile stewardship. The cessation of
underground nuclear testing has placed increased emphasis
on flash x-ray radiography. In order to meet the need for
acquiring multiple line-of-sight, multiple time frame data
during a single hydrodynamic test a concept was developed
that provides these features using a single accelerator [1].
By equipping a long pulse induction linac with a pulsed
power source capable of running in the MHz range and
using fast kickers multiple pulses and many lines of sight
could be achieved.
This concept is illustrated in Figure 1 which shows the
key elements of advanced technology necessary to make the
scheme viable. A solid-state modulator powered by Field
Effect Transistors (FETs) is shown along with a fast kicker
capable of switching kiloampere level beams into different
transport lines.

2. A. SOLID-STATE MODULATOR
The basic concept of the solid-state modulator is shown
in figure 2. The accelerating voltage is established on a
large capacitor bank which is connected (and disconnected)
from the load by a fast switch, which is this case is a
series-parallel array of FETs. The load in this case is an
induction core.

Fig. 2. Basic circuit concept for the solid-state modulator.
A fast switch (FET arrays) connect and disconnect a pre-
charged capacitor to the induction cell. Note that the
output voltage is negative in this illustration.
The induction core permits these circuits to be stacked
in an inductive voltage adder configuration. A fast resetcircuit is also provided to enable the modulator to operate
at very high repetition rates.
This circuit concept allows the pulse format to be
changed without changing the circuit configuration.
Simply by programming the optical trigger sequence the
width and inter-pulse time for each pulse can be changed at
will. A single layer of the ARM-II modulator is shown in
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. A single switch board of the ARM-II modulator.
The board contains 12 FETs which switch 100 Amps each
at roughly 800 volts. These circuit boards are stacked in
series to provide 15 kV for the ARM-II modulator. There
are four of these stacks in parallel around a Metglas core to
provide 4.8 kA.
The circuit boards shown in Figure 3. Are stacked in
series and parallel to provide a modulator capable of
running at 1 MHz with full reset and at 2 MHz without
reset.
Fig. 4. A single ARM-II modulator capable of generating
a programmable burst of variable width pulses at 15 kV
(open circuit voltage) and 4.8 kA output current.

an inductive voltage adder configuration. A three-stage
adder is shown in Figure 5.

produces 45 kV (open circuit) at 4.8 kA and 1 MHz

A typical burst which illustrates the pulse format
flexibility is shown in Figure 6.

pulse format agility of the system. The horizontal scale is
2 µsec. per division.
This technology will also be used to power the
high current kicker for the 2nd axis of DARHT.
2. B. FAST, HIGH-CURRENT
KICKER
The second major piece of technology inspired by the
needs of Advanced Radiography is a precision, fast kicker
capable of handling long multi-kiloamp beam pulses. Inorder to obtain switching times of order 10 ns. the source
of the fields must be inside the beam pipe. A
configuration was chosen which is similar to a stripline
configuration similar to that of a stripline beam position
monitor was chosen. The concept is shown in Figure 7.

Fig. 7. Fast, high-current kicker concept. The system
consists of four equal size striplines. One opposite pair of
electrodes is powered to produce switching in a plane. In
this illustration the top electrode is powered negatively
while the bottom electrode is powered positively to switch
the beam downward in the vertical plane. Since the pulser
technology employed is unipolar, a D.C. bias dipole
winding wrapped over the kicker vacuum housing pre-
steers the beam upwards to obtain a full range of vertical
motion.
The system that has undergone extensive testing on the
ETA-II accelerator at Livermore is shown in Figure 8.
Fig. 8. Stripline kicker system used on ETA-II. A
system very similar to this will be deployed on the second
axis of DARHT to produce a sequence of radiographic
pulses from a 2 µsec pulse in the accelerator.
The kicker system has been very successful. Beams of
up to 2 kA, 50 ns wide at 6 MeV have been steered rapidly
with precision. An image from the switched beam
intercepting a quartz foil is shown in Figure 9. Thepicture captures a single ETA-II pulse in the act of being
switched from one position to another.

light striking a quartz foil approximately 60 cm

shift is some 4 cm with a kicker plate voltage of ± 9 kV.
2. C. DARHT
The Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test
(DARHT) facility is under construction at Los Alamos. It
consists of a single 70 ns pulse, 20 MeV, 4 kA induction
linac which is in operation and a second, long pulse
machine under construction now. The second axis
(DARHT-2) will produce a 2 µsec, 20 MeV pulse at up to
4 kA. A kicker system will be used to extract a sequence
of 4 relatively short radiographic pulses out of the long
pulse and direct these to the x-ray converter target.

two radiographic machines are at right angles.
3 ADVANCES IN HEAVY ION FUSION
TECHNOLOGY
There have been numerous advances in the technologies
required for Heavy Ion Fusion driver development. Very
compact superconducting lenses have been developedwhich will lead to increased accelerating gradients. An
example of such a lens is shown in Figure 11.
Fig. 11. Superconducting quadrupole using a Rutherford
cable on a flat support (Martovetsky at LLNL).
Compact pulsed magnets suitable for focussing arrays
of beamlets have also been developed. A prototype array
for the Integrated Research Experiment (IRE) is shown in
Figure 12.
Fig. 12. Compact, pulsed quadrupole lens array for the
IRE.
Improved characterization of magnetic core materials
such as Metglas, Finemet and Silicon-Iron under
conditions comparable to those found in a driver have been
completed which will lead to the most efficient andeconomical choices for the several different accelerator cell
systems employed in a driver.
4 ADVANCED INSULATORS AND THE
DIELECTRIC WALL ACCELERATOR
4. A. HIGH GRADIENT INSULATORS
In the past few years a new class of insulators has been
developed that has superior performance for short, long
and bi-polar pulses. Called simply high gradient
insulators (HGI) these are novel configurations of
conventional insulating materials [2].
The basic idea of the HGI is to interrupt the normal
insulator with finely spaced, floating electrodes. The
typical spacing between electrodes can be a few mm down
to 0.1 mm. In general, the voltage holding ability of
these configurations improves as the period length is
shortened. Insulators have been fabricated from dielectrics
such as kapton, rexolite, lexan and fused silica. A few
samples are shown in Figure 12. These insulators have
flashover strengths 2 to 5 times higher than conventional
insulators.
A startling result is the excellent performance of these
insulator configurations in the proximity of high current
electron beams. One such test is shown in Figure 13.

Fig. 13. High gradient insulator test using the
kapton/stainless steel insulator shown on the right side of
the figure. The insulator measured 22 cm outer diameter
by 2 cm in axial length. A velvet cloth 1 cm in radius
was used as a cathode while a highly transparent wire
mesh was used as an anode. A 20 ns. FWHM, 440 kV
pulse was placed across the outer diameter of the insulator.
The cathode produced a 1 kA electron beam repeatedly
with no breakdowns. As the voltage was increased signs
of insulator breakdown at the end of the pulse could be
observed. The breakdown-free accelerating gradient in the
presence of this beam was 22 MV/Meter.
In another test of the insulator in the presence of beam
an ETA-II induction cell was modified to accept a high
gradient insulator. The standard insulator, a slanted piece
of rexolite with a slant width of 3.75 cm was replaced
with a high gradient version with a straight wall and only
1 cm wide.
This cell was installed on the end of ETA-II about 10
cm from a graphite beam stop. Voltage was applied tothe cell by coupling the beam return current through load
resistors. The cell took the full beam current (2 kA, 50
ns pulses at 6 MeV) at 1 Hz for an entire day. The cell
logged over 10,000 shots with no breakdowns. The cell
was operated at up to twice it’s normal operating voltage
with a straight wall insulator having a direct line of sight
to the beam and a width almost one quarter of the standard
insulator with no breakdowns at 17.5 MV/Meter.
These results suggest the possibility of an accelerator
configuration that might have a considerably higher
gradient than conventional induction accelerators.
4. B. THE DIELECTRIC WALL
ACCELARATOR
The basic concept for a Dielectric Wall Accelerator
(DWA) is shown in Figure 14. A conventional induction
machine has an accelerating field only in the gap, which
occupies a relatively small fraction of the axial length of
an accelerating cell. If the conducting beam pipe could be
replaced by an insulating wall, accelerating fields
characteristic of the gaps might be applied uniformly over
the entire length of the accelerator yielding a much higher
gradient.

In order to supply an accelerating voltage over the
entire structure a suitable pulse forming line must be used
along with a closing switch to initiate the voltage pulse.
One such concept is shown in Figure 15.
The Asymmetric Blumlein is configured as two radial
transmission lines with different dielectrics. These lines
are initially charged to the same voltage but opposite
polarities so that there is no net voltage across the pair of
lines. If switches on the outer diameter are closed, waves
will propagate radially inward leaving zero voltage in their
wakes. Because the dielectrics in the lines have different
values of permittivity, the waves travel at different speeds.
When the faster of the two waves hits the inner boundary
of the line there will be a reflection because of an
impedance mismatch which will boost the voltage of that
wave, causing the polarity of that line to reverse which
generates a net accelerating voltage across the line I.D.CLCLCL+-+Initially charged Switches closed

5 CONCLUSIONS
Many important technological advances in the
induction accelerator field have taken place over the past
several years. A revolution in pulsed power technology
has boosted the maximum repetition rate of induction
machines by three orders of magnitude over the previous
record providing unprecedented pulse format flexibility and
voltage precision. Progress in compact magnetic lenses
and lens arrays for Heavy Ion Fusion promise systems
with higher average accelerating gradients. Advanced
understanding of magnetic core material will permit the
construction of more efficient and economical fusion
drivers. A new class of high gradient insulators has
demonstrated superior performance in a variety of modes
and promises to make possible the construction of novel
high gradient accelerators.

Summary
The finite-difference time-domain method was employed
to simulate light propagation in tapered near-field fiberprobes with small metal aperture. By conducting large-volume simulations, including tapered metal-claddingwaveguide and connected optical fiber waveguide, we il-lustrated the coupling between these guiding modes as wellas the electric field distribution in the vicinity of the aper-ture. The high collection efficiency of a double-taperedprobe was reproduced and was ascribed to the shorteningof the cutoff region and the efficient coupling to the guid-ing mode of the optical fiber. The dependence of the effi-ciency on the tapered structure parameters was also ex-amined.
1. Introduction
Improvement of the optical throughput and
collection efficiency of aperture probes is the most im-portant issue to be addressed for the application of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) in optical re-cording, fabrication, and manipulation as well as spectro-scopic studies. The tapered region of the aperture fiberprobe is considered to be the metal-cladding opticalwaveguide, whose propagation properties are character-ized by the cutoff diameter and the absorption coefficientof the cladding metal. Through systematic experimentalstudies, it has been confirmed that the transmission effi-ciency decreases in the region where the core diameter issmaller than the wavelength of the propagating light. On
the basis of this finding, we proposed to shorten the nar-row metal-cladding region with strong optical losses bymaking a double-tapered structure with a large cone angle.This structure is easily realized using a multi-step chemi-cal etching technique. It has been demonstrated that the
transmission efficiency is much improved by 1-2 orders
of magnitude as compared to the single-tapered probe witha small cone angle (Saiki et al. , 1996).
Further optimization of the tapered structure is
needed to achieve much higher probe efficiency. How-ever, it is very time-consuming to assess many structureparameters, such as the cone angle and taper length, bytrial and error. Numerical analysis is a more reasonableway to attain an optimized structure efficiently and to un-derstand the electromagnetic field distribution in a taperedwaveguide including the vicinity of the aperture. Compu-tational calculation by the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method is the most popular and promising methodavailable for this purpose (Furukawa & Kawata, 1996;Nakamura et al. , 2000), because it can be easily applied
to actual three-dimensional problems. Although there havebeen many simulations focusing on the electric field dis-tribution in the vicinity of the aperture to examine the spa-tial resolution of NSOM, no calculations have been re-ported dealing with the light propagation in the tapered2region in terms of the sensitivity of the probe. In this pa-
per, using the three-dimensional FDTD method, we dem-onstrate the high collection efficiency of double-taperedprobes including guiding optical fibers, as compared withsingle-tapered probes. We also examined the dependenceof the collection efficiency on the cone angle and taperlength in detail.
2. Model and Calculations
Figure 1 illustrates the cross-sectional view of
the FDTD geometry of the three-dimensional problem,which reproduces the experimental situation of singlequantum-dot imaging (Saiki & Matsuda, 1999). A fiberprobe with a double- or single-tapered structure collectsluminescence ( λ=1 µm) from a quantum dot buried λ/40
beneath the semiconductor (GaAs; n=3.5) surface. Weassume that the source of luminescence is a point-like di-pole current linearly polarized along the x direction. Theradiation caught by the aperture with a diameter of l/5propagates in the tapered region clad with a perfectly con-ducting metal and then is guided to the optical fiberwaveguide. The refractive indices of the core and clad-
ding of the fiber are 1.487 and 1.450, respectively. Theintensity of the collected signal, I
coll is evaluated by two-
dimensionally integrating the electric field intensity in thecore area of the optical fiber. The simulation box consistsof a 120x120x360 grid in the x, y, and z directions; thespace increment is λ/40. We run the simulation with a time
step ofc∆t= λ /(40√3) employing Mur’s boundary condi-
tion.
3. Results and Discussions
To demonstrate the performance of the double-
tapered probe, calculations were performed for three typesof probes as shown in Fig. 2, where the spatial distribu-

with θ=28˚ and θ=90˚. The Icoll ratio is estimated to be
1:32. Such a distinct improvement in Icoll can be attributed
to the difference in the length of the cutoff region. Bymaking the cone angle large and shortening the cutoff re-gion, much radiation power can be directed towards thetapered region. Figure 2(c) shows the result of calculationin the case of double-tapered probe whose cone angle isthe same as in Fig. 2(b). The neck diameter D is assumedto be λ, which is twice the cutoff diameter (d
c~ λ/2) of the
cylindrical waveguide clad with a perfectly conductingmetal. I
coll of Fig. 2(c) is found to be three times greater
than Icoll in Fig. 2(b). The radiation pattern in Fig. 2(c)

the wavefront of the propagating light to match the guid-ing mode of the optical fiber, while the spherical wave-like propagation in Fig. 2(b) cannot be coupled to the guid-ing mode so efficiently. To summarize, the collection ef-ficiency of the double-tapered probe in Fig. 2(c) is greaterby two orders than that of the conventional single-taperedprobe in Fig. 2(a).
Although we have demonstrated the advantage
of a double-tapered probe, its performance should be de-pendent on various structure parameters. In Figs. 3(a) and3(b), the values of I
coll as a function of cone angle θ and
neck diameter D, respectively, are plotted The enhance-ment of I
coll with the increase in θ can be understood rea-
sonably. Icoll will increase monotonously as θ approaches
180˚. In the case of a realistic metal aperture, however, alarge θ will cause diminished spatial resolution due to the
finite skin depth of the metal. The optimum value of θ
should be chosen by balancing the collection efficiencywith the spatial resolution. As depicted in Fig. 3(b), thedependence of I
coll on D is found to be more complicated
and seems to be less essential. One significant result isthat a neck diameter D as small as d
c is more preferable,
compared with D~2 dc, to attain high efficiency in cou-
pling to the guiding mode of the optical fiber.
4. Summary
FDTD simulation demonstrated the perfor-
mance of a double-tapered probe, whose collection effi-ciency was found to be greater by two orders than that ofa common single-tapered probe. Such high efficiencycould be explained as follows: (1) by shortening the cut-off region of the metal-cladding waveguide, much radia-tion was directed into the probe; (2) by introducing a guid-ing region, smooth coupling to the optical fiber wasachieved. We also examined the collection efficiency as afunction of structure parameters. Dependence on the coneangle was evident as expected; the efficiency increasedmonotonously with the cone angle. On the other hand, therelationship between the efficiency and the neck diameter4was found to be complicated. Further study, focusing on a
more realistic situation, introducing a complex dielectricconstant of the cladding metal, is now in progress.

DYNAMICS OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS:
OPEN EQUILIBRIUM
Do we need coefficients of thermodynamic activity?

ABSTRACT. Dynamic properties of chemical reactions and appropriate relationships for open chemical equilibrium are discussed in approach of the chemical dynamics. New way to calculate composition of chemical systems in open equilibrium, based on the amended equation for the change of Gibbs free energy, was exemplified using reactions of cobalt double oxides with sulfur. Evaluated this way equilibrium reaction extents had a good match with values found by direct thermodynamic simulation. The developed method allows us to perform analysis of complex chemical systems without coefficients of thermodynamic activity. In cases when the coefficients are in need or just desirable, the method offers a simple way to calculate them. Possible systems to apply method of chemical dynamics are discussed. Previous paper [1] has described new approach to the thermodynamics of open chemical systems. With assigned generic name chemical dynamics, that approach is based on assumption that there is a linear relationship between external thermodynamic force and relevant shift of chemical reaction extent in the vicinity of true equilibrium. Corresponding expression for reduced Gibbs free energy change may be written as
∆ g
i = ∆g0
i + f ie*∆i+ lnΠaki(∆i, ηki)+ τi∆iδi, (1)
where ∆i - symbol for reaction extent ∆ξ, in true equilibrium ∆i = 1; δi − symbol
for δξ = (1−∆) - reaction shift from equilibrium; ∆gi =∆Gi/RT reduced change of
the reaction Gibbs free energy; f ie*∆i reduced (divided by RT) external
thermodynamic force multiplied by ∆ thus having dimension of energy; a ki(∆i, ηki) -
thermodynamic activity; ηki − amount of moles of k-participant of i-reaction,
consumed/arrived in the run of this reaction from initial state to true
thermodynamic equilibrium; and τ is a parameter of the theory characterizing system
interaction with its environment. We have introduced the τi∆iδi product in [1] as
chaotic member due to analogy with the well known chaotic equation [2].
Taking into account that ∆g0
i = -lnK i, or ∆g0
i = lnΠ`i, tick mark and asterisk relate
values to isolated (ISEQ) and open equilibrium (OPEQ) correspondingly, equation (1) will turn to
∆gi = f ie*∆i ln(Π`i/Π*i) + τi∆iδI. (2)
One of the most important results described in [1] was a specific Hookes law type of
shift-force dependency, which is linear up to a certain value of the force, and then 2
shows a kind of saturation. In many cases the curve is still linear (more correctly,
quasi-linear) beyond the bend point but under different slope.
In the run of this work about a hundred of reactions with essential negative ∆G0
values were investigated, and in no cases deviations from the chemical Hookes law
were found. Typical distribution of reaction coordinates in open equilibrium vs. thermodynamic forces for a large group of reactions (Me
1O+S) at 298K in systems,

Physical nature of the parameter τ wasnt clear at the time when [1] was published.
Further investigation has unambiguously showed that this parameter has a unique value for every chemical reaction given the stoichiometric equation and reactant amounts, and is responsible for reaction resistance against external thermodynamic
force. It makes very clear why combination of τ and external thermodynamic force
defines the reaction shift from true equilibrium. Each chemical reaction can be characterized by several dynamic curves. They are already familiar force-shift curve and two others - reaction extent vs. effective Gibbs free energy change, calculated as a sum of internal and external values, and reaction
extent vs. chaotic member τ
i∆iδi. Shift-force curve that can be used to determine τ
for the simplest reaction A+B=AB is shown on Fig.2. Next picture, Fig.3 shows a joint graph of above mentioned curves. An arbitrary value of 0.5 was assumed for

In the table, values ∆ sim. and ∆ est. were determined using two in principle different
methods, the last of them splits in its turn by two also slightly different. For graphic 6
evaluation in a system, taken arbitrarily out of the model set, the match is good and
proves ability of the method of chemical dynamics to simulate open equilibria and complex chemical systems correctly. Better match for the values found purely by our method is a pleasant but yet not sufficient for far going conclusions and excessive optimism fact. So far we are investigating the method in general. Results of this work show a possibility to find equilibrium composition of a subsystem without simulation the complex chemical system as a whole. We can do it if we know how to write down external thermodynamic force, through which the complimentary part of the system is acting against the subsystem. Along with results of [1] they prove that with the method of chemical dynamics one can avoid usage of thermodynamic activity coefficients at all. Nevertheless, in cases when the coefficients are still in need or just more habitual, the method of chemical dynamics provides quite simple way to find them using shift-force relationship. This relationship has been found to be unilateral within the entire possible scope of reaction shifts (from 0 up to almost 1) thus expanding the opportunities out of linear (more exactly, quasi-linear) area. In many cases this can eliminate expensive experimental works to define coefficients of thermodynamic activity. Double oxides with strong bounds between components, used in this work as a model set, represent only one example out of a big number of possible applications. Next and probably more practically interesting is application to the systems with reactions having comparable energetic characteristics (supposed next step of this work). Besides that, one interesting application of the method of chemical dynamics might also occur in stationary systems. In this case, using Onzagers relation between flows and thermodynamic forces, one can find equivalent value of external force to consider the stationary state formally related to the open equilibrium with chemical reaction shifted by this force. Most probably, this statement can be easily checked out in electrochemical systems, where electrochemical forces are definitely external to chemical reactions in the electrochemical cell, and relationships between them and flows (that is, electrical currents) are well known. To conclude, it is worthy to mention that ideology of here developed method is totally different from classical way of analysis of complex systems. Conventional method aggregates all parts of the system to analyze the whole on a probability basis. We go opposite direction, dividing the system by parts and replacing probability treatment of subsystems interaction by shift-force relationships. Difference between two approaches was in general well discussed in [3]. Developed in this work approach descends back to dAlembert principle of classical mechanics [4, 5]. REFERENCES. 1. B.

Abstract
In this work two important models of treating collisional absorption in a laser driven plasma
are compared, the dielectric and the ballistic model. We wil l see that there exists a remarkable
connection between these basic approaches which could give a hint how to overcome the inherent
limitations. The approximations made in the models are not i dentical and lead to different
advantages and disadvantages.
We notice that the dieletric model is able to handle screenin g in a selfconsistent manner, but is
limited to first order in the electron-ion interaction. The b allistic model calculates the electron-
ion collision exactly in each order of the interaction, but h as to introduce a cut-off to incorporate
screening effects. This means in the context of kinetic theor y that the electron-ion correlation
has to be calculated either in random phase or inladder approximation, or, in other words, the
linearized Lenard-Balescu orBoltzmann collision term has to be used.

The upper integral limit kmaxin eq. (2) is necessary in the classical case due to the diverg ence

where k0is chosen large enough that F(k0, ω,ˆvos

Comparing the dielectric inverse screening length kminand the one introduced in the ballistic model,
Fig. 2, we come to a good qualitative agreement. Nerverthele ss, a quantitative difference appears.
It must be kept in mind that we handled the Coulomb logarithm a s a constant during the ensemble
average and also during the time average, which is not done in the dielectric model. The discrepancy
should decrease if we overcome this approximation, which wi ll be the subject of further investigations.
3 Conclusions
It was shown in the previous section that there exists a stron g connection between the dielectric
and the ballistic model. This results from the fact that the i ntegral kernel F(k, ω,ˆvos
vth), eq. (3), only
becomes a function of vos/vthand agrees with the integral term of eq. (1). When calculatin g it is
essential to include enough orders of Bessel functions for l argek. So, as the integral in eq. (3) runs up
to large k, it is never a good approximation to take only a few orders of B essel functions, which was
done by many authors to get analytical expressions for the ab sorption. Furthermore, it is much easier
to find approximations of the term in eq. (1), ref. [1], than of the complicated expression eq. (3).00.20.40.60.811.21.4

When making the approximation eq. (5) in the dielectric trea tment we could see the difference be-
tween both models. In case of the dielectric model the collis ion parameter b⊥for perpendicular
deflection is missing. This is exactly the term which leads be side the De Broglie wavelength to the
convergence of the collision integral for small collision p arameters which means large kin eq. (2). The
disappearance of that length is a consequence of the weak cou pling approximation in the dielectric
theory, equivalent to the first order Born approximation or s traight orbit assumption. We could
expect that the integral kernel F(k, ω,ˆvos
vth) should show a decay to zero for k > b−1
⊥when we go
beyond the weak coupling approximation, which leads to a red uced absorption. This is in agreement
to stopping power calculations, ref. [7], where the authors found an overestimation of the stopping
power in the case of the first order Born approximation in the e lectron-ion coupling. Including the
static shielded T matrix they found good agreement with nume rical results.

11 Introduction
In our previous works, we proposed a path-integral approach to the col-
lisionless Boltzmann gas[1][2]. It is assumed in the approa ch that there
are continuous and discontinuous distribution functions i n realistic Boltz-
mann gases: continuous distribution functions are produce d by continuous
distribution functions that exist previously and disconti nuous distribution
functions are caused by boundary effects. (Boundaries can bl ock and reflect
molecules in such a way that distribution functions become d iscontinuous in
the spatial space as well as in the velocity space.) To treat t hese two kinds
of distribution functions at the same time, a different type o f distribution
function, called the solid-angle-average distribution fu nction, is introduced
as
f(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1
∆Ω/integraldisplay
f(t,r,v)dΩ, (1)
where ∆Ω represents one of the solid angle ranges in the veloc ity space
defined by the investigator and f(t,r,v) is the “ordinary” distribution func-
tion. By letting each of ∆Ω be adequately small, the newly emp loyed dis-
tribution function is capable of describing gas dynamics wi th any desired
accuracy. Provided that collisions in a Boltzmann gas can be neglected, the
solid-angle-average distribution function is found to be
f(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1

where, referring to Fig. 1, ∆ S1is an arbitrarily chosen virtual surface within
the effective cone defined by −∆Ω at the point r, ∆S2stands for all bound-
ary surfaces within the effective cone, ηis the local emission rate of boundary
surface (acting like a surface-like molecular source), r0represents the posi-
tion of dS0, Ω0is the solid angle of the velocity but takes the direction
of (r−r0),t0is the local time defined by t0=t− |r−r0|/v,αis the
angle between the normal of dS0and the vector r−r0,fctis the contin-
uous part of the distribution function existing previously , and Ur0ris the
path-clearness step function, which is equal to 1 if the path r0ris free from
blocking otherwise it is equal to 0.
The objective of this paper is to include collisional effects in the path-
integral formalism.
2According to the conventional wisdom collisions can be anal yzed by the
method developed by Boltzmann long ago, in which it is unders tood that
there is a symmetry between the ways molecules enter and leav e a phase vol-
ume element. Peculiarly enough, this well-accepted unders tanding includes
actually hidden fallacies[3], which can briefly be summariz ed as follows. In
terms of studying collisions in a Boltzmann gas, there are tw o issues that are
supposedly important. The first one is related to how many col lisions take
place within a phase volume element and during a certain time ; the second
one is related to how the scattered molecules will, after col lisions, spread out
over the velocity space and over the spatial space. These two issues involve
different physics and have to be formulated differently. If th e molecules leav-
ing a phase volume element is of interest, one needs to take ca re of only the
first issue; whereas if the molecules entering a volume eleme nt is of inter-
est, one needs to concern oneself with both the issues aforem entioned. This
imparity simply suggests that the time-reversal symmetry, though indeed
exists for a single collision between two molecules, cannot play a decisive
role in studying collective effects of collision.
In the present paper we formulate the collisional effects par tly in an
unconventional way. In deriving how many molecules make col lisions, the
standard method is employed without much discussion; but, i n formulat-
ing how scattered molecules enter a six-dimensional phase v olume element,
which is an absolute must for the purpose of this paper, a rath er different
and slightly sophisticated approach is introduced.
In sec. 2, general considerations concerning basic collisi onal process are
given. It is pointed out that only the scattering cross secti on in the center-of-
mass frame is well defined and can be employed in our studies. S ec. 3 gives
a formula that describes how a molecule, when moving along it s path, will
survive from collisions. Sec. 4 investigates how molecular collisions create
molecules that enter a specific phase volume element. In the i nvestigation,
both the colliding molecules and the scattered molecules ar e allowed to have
distributions. (Otherwise, singularities will arise, as R ef. 3 reveals.) Sec. 5
includes all the collisional effects in a complete path-inte gral formulation. In
Sec. 6, approximation methods are introduced to make the new formulation
more calculable and an application of the method is demonstr ated. Sec. 7
offers a brief summary.
Throughout this paper, to make our discussion as simple as po ssible, it
is assumed that molecules of interest are all identical, but distinguishable,
perfectly rigid spheres and they move freely when not making collisions.
32 General considerations of collision
Firstly, we recall general features of binary collisions in terms of classical
mechanics. Consider two molecules: one is called molecule 1 and the other
molecule 2. Let v1andv2label their respective velocities before the collision.
The center-of-mass velocity and the velocity of molecule 1 r elative to the
center-of-mass are before the collision
c=1
2(v1+v2) and u=1
2(v1−v2). (3)
Similarly, the center-of-mass velocity and the velocity of molecule 1 relative
to the center-of-mass are after the collision
c′=1
2(v′
1+v′
2) and u′=1
2(v′
1−v′
2). (4)
The conservation laws of classical mechanics tell us that
c=c′and |u|=|u′|=u. (5)
Fig. 2 schematically illustrates the geometrical relation ship of these ve-
locities. Note that, for the collision defined as above the fin al velocities
of the two molecules, such as u′,v′
1andv′
2, cannot be completely deter-
mined unless the impact parameter of the collision is specifi ed at the very
beginning[4].
At this point, mention must be made of one misconcept in that t he
usual derivation of the Boltzmann equation gets involved[3 ]. In an attempt
to invoke the time-reversal symmetry of molecular collisio n, the standard
treatment in textbooks[5] defines the scattering cross sect ion in the labora-
tory frame in such a way that
¯σ(v1,v2→v′
1,v′
2)dv′
1dv′
2 (6)
represents the number of molecules per unit time (per unit flu x of type 1
molecules incident upon a type 2 molecule) emerging after sc attering with
respective final velocities between v′
1andv′
1+dv′
1and between v′
2and
v′
2+dv′
2.
If a close look at expression (6) is taken, we may find that the v alue
of ¯σin it is ill-defined. As Fig. 2b clearly shows, the molecules o f type 1,
namely the ones with the velocities v′
1after the collisions, will spread out
over a two-dimensional surface in the velocity space (formi ng a spherical shell
4with diameter 2 u) rather than over a three-dimensional velocity volume as
suggested by the definition. Because of this seemingly small fault, the value
of ¯σactually depends on the size and shape of dv′
1and cannot be treated
as a uniquely defined quantity theoretically and experiment ally.
Another type of scattering cross section, which is elaborat ed nicely in
textbooks of classical mechanics and suffers from no difficult y, is in terms of
the relative velocities uandu′, as shown in Fig. 3. It is defined in such a
way that the area element
dS=σ(Ωu′)dΩu′ (7)
represents the number of molecules per unit time (per unit flu x of type
1 molecules with the relative velocity uincident upon a type 2 molecule)
emerging after scattering with the final relative velocity u′pointing in a
direction within the solid angle range dΩu′. Note that the definition (7),
in which the center-of-mass velocity corc′becomes irrelevant, makes good
sense in the center-of-mass frame rather than in the laborat ory frame.
Before finishing this section we turn to discussing how colli sions can
generally affect the solid-angle-average distribution fun ction f(t,r,v,∆Ω)
defined by (1). In view of that gas dynamics of the Boltzmann ga s develops
along molecular paths, as shown by (2), we believe that colli sional effects
should also be investigated and formulated in terms of molec ular paths.
Fig. 4 illustrates that there are two types of processes. On o ne hand,
a molecule that would reach rwith the velocity vat time tmay suffer
from a collision and become irrelevant to the distribution f unction; on the
other hand, an “irrelevant” molecule may collide with anoth er molecule
and then become relevant. It should be stressed again that th ere is no
symmetry between the two types of processes. For the first typ e of process,
we only need to investigate what happens to a single molecule . If a collision
takes place with it, we know that the molecule will depart fro m its original
path, which is sufficient as far as our formulation is concerne d. For the
second type of process, we need to know: (i) how many collisio ns take
place within the effective cone; (ii) how the scattered molec ules spread out
over the phase space. As stressed in the introduction, the se cond issue is
particularly essential because of that the distribution fu nction is nothing
but the molecular density per unit phase volume, in other wor ds we must
concern ourselves with the scattered molecules “around” th e phase point
(r,v), rather than the scattered molecules “at” the phase point ( r,v).
In the next two sections, we will formulate the two processes respectively.
5Since the collisions are assumed to take place in terms of cla ssical mechanics
all the calculations can be done without analytical difficult y.
3 The surviving probability
Consider a molecule moving along a spatial path where many ot her molecules
make their own motions. If P(τ) denotes the probability that the molecule
survives a time τwithout suffering a collision and w(τ)dτdenotes the prob-
ability that the molecule makes a collision between time τand time τ+dτ,
we must have a simple relation
P(τ+dτ)−P(τ) =−P(τ)w(τ)dτ, (8)
which yields
1
PdP
dτ=−w(τ). (9)
Therefore, the surviving probability associated with a mol ecule moving from
r0torwith the velocity vcan be expressed formally by
P(r0,r;v) = exp( −/integraldisplay
lw(τ)dτ), (10)
where lrepresents the path along that the molecule will move if no co llision
takes place. For the Boltzmann gas under consideration, who se molecules
are assumed to be free from forces except in collisions, the p ath of a molecule
is nothing but the segment of straight line linking up the two points.
The surviving probability defined by (10) can be evaluated by the stan-
dard approach[5]. To make this paper complete, we include th e evaluation in
what follows. Suppose that the molecule encounters a molecu lar beam with
the velocity v1at the path element dl. In terms of the molecular beam, the
molecule has the speed 2 u= 2|u|, in which u= (v−v1)/2, and it occupies
the volume with respect to the beam
2uσ(Ωu′)dΩu′dτ, (11)
where σ(Ωu′) and Ω u′are defined in (7) and illustrated by Fig. 3. The
molecular density of the colliding beam is
f(τ,rl,v1)dv1, (12)
6where rlis the position of the path element dl. Thus, the total collision
probability can be written as
wdτ=dτ/integraldisplay
v1/integraldisplay
Ωu′2uf(τ,rl,v1)σ(Ωu′)dΩu′dv1. (13)
In terms of (13), the surviving probability (10) becomes
P(r0,r;v) = exp/bracketleftBigg
−/integraldisplay
l/integraldisplay
v1/integraldisplay
Ωu′2uσ(Ωu′)f(τ,rl,v1)dΩu′dv1dτ./bracketrightBigg
,(14)
where dτis the time period during that the molecule passes the path el ement
dl.
The formula (14) describes how collisions make the number of molecules
along a certain path decrease. The method employed has nothi ng partic-
ularly new in comparison with that employed by the textbook t reatment.
Before changing our subject, one thing worth mentioning. In deriving (14),
we had luck not to be concerned with how the scattered molecul es spread
out over the phase space. It is readily understandable that t he same luck
will not be there in the next section.
4 The creation probability
We now study the process in which collisions make molecules g ive contribu-
tions to the solid-angle-average distribution function f(t,r,v,∆Ω).
It should be mentioned that in this section, unlike in the las t sections,
v′andv′
1represent the velocities of colliding molecules while vandv1
represent the velocities of scattered molecules.
The see how the scattered molecules spread out over the six-d imensional
phase space, we consider a relatively small six-dimensiona l volume element
as
∆r·∆v= ∆r·v2∆v∆Ω. (15)
In (15) ∆ ris chosen to enclose the point rinf(t,r,v,∆Ω), ∆ vto enclose the
speed vinf(t,r,v,∆Ω); and ∆Ω is just the finite velocity solid-angle-range
∆Ω in f(t,r,v,∆Ω). The discussion below will be focused on molecules that
really enter, after collisions, this six-dimensional volu me element.
Note that in Fig. 5a each point in the spatial volume ∆ rdefines an
effective cone, within which physical events may make impact on the distri-
bution function at the point. This means that the entire effec tive cone, with
7respect to the spatial volume element ∆ r, must be slightly larger than the
one defined solely by r, as shown by Fig. 5b. Fortunately, we will, in the
end of formulation, let
∆r→0 (16)
and thus the actual entire effective cone is only academicall y larger. On this
understanding, we will not distinguish between the entire e ffective cone and
the effective cone defined solely by the single point r.
Look at molecular collisions taking place within the effecti ve cone shown
in Fig. 6. Note that Fig. 6a, while coming to one’s mind immedi ately,
is not an appropriate picture to manifest the collision proc ess affecting the
distribution function at the point rsince both the colliding molecules and
scattered molecules in it have no true distributions. (Ref. 3 analyzes the
situation and brings out that such mental picture will finall y lead to singu-
larities.) In Fig. 6b, the velocity distributions of all col liding molecules and
scattered molecules are explicitly illustrated. Our task h ere is to formulate
the relationship between the distribution functions of col liding molecules
and the scattered molecules (including their velocity dist ributions and spa-
tial distributions).
We divide the entire effective cone into many individual regi ons, denoted
by (∆r0)i. It is obvious that within each of the regions collisions can gen-
erate a certain number of molecules that will finally enter th e phase volume
defined by (15). Let ncl
idenote the number of such molecules. In what
immediately follows, it is assumed that the generated molec ules suffer no
further collisions. The entire contributions of all collis ions to the distribu-
tion function f(t,r,v,∆Ω) can then be expressed by
fcl(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1
∆r·∆v/summationdisplay
incl
i, (17)
in which iruns all the divided regions within the effective cone. For la ter
use, we wish to rewrite (17) as
fcl(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1
∆Ω/summationdisplay
incl
i
v2(∆r)i(∆v)i. (18)
The advantage of (18) over (17) is that (∆ r)iand (∆ v)iin (18) may be
chosen to be different for different ias long as the molecular number of ncl
i
is counted up accordingly. (Of course, all velocity directi ons of the molecules
have to be within the solid angle range ∆Ω.)
8Now, consider a small, much smaller than ∆Ω, solid angle rang e ∆Ω 0
at a point r0towards the point r, as shown in Fig. 7a ( r0is within the
effective cone). It is easy to see that if collisions take plac e atr0, the
scattered molecules having velocities within ∆Ω 0will spread out over the
spatial volume element
∆r≈ |r−r0|2v∆Ω0∆t, (19)
as shown in Fig. 7b. Accordingly, they will spread out over th e velocity
volume element
∆v≈v2∆v∆Ω0, (20)
as shown in Fig. 7c. Since ∆Ω 0is much smaller than ∆Ω (the latter one
is finite), a molecule having a velocity within ∆Ω 0can be regarded as one
having a velocity within ∆Ω. Thus, by letting (∆ r)iin (18) be equal to
∆rof (19) and letting (∆ v)iin (18) be equal to ∆ vin (20), expression (18)
becomes
fcl(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1
∆Ω/integraldisplay
lim
(∆Ω0,∆v,∆t)→(0,0,0)ρcl(r0)dr0

where the integral is over the entire effective cone defined by rand−∆Ω
andρclis the local density (per unit spatial volume) of the molecul es that
are “emitted” from r0due to collisions and finally enter the speed range ∆ v
and the solid-angle range ∆Ω 0during the time ∆ t.
To determine the density ρcl, we have two tasks. One is to derive the
collision rate at r0and the other is to derive what fraction of the scattered
molecules emerge with velocities within the range ∆ v∆Ω0. The first task
can be accomplished in a well-known way while the second one c annot.
As discussed in the last section, a specific molecule with the initial ve-
locityv′that collides with a beam of molecules with the initial veloc ityv′
1
occupies a volume with respect to the beam
2u∆tσ(Ωu)dΩu, (22)
where Ω uis the solid angle of the scattered relative velocity u= (v−v1)/2.
The number of “such specific” molecules within dv′dr0is
f(t0,r0,v′)dv′dr0. (23)
The density of the molecules with v′

We now to evaluate the probability that the molecules expres sed by (25)
enter the velocity range ∆ v∆Ω0. Note that the integration of dv′dv′

carried out in the laboratory frame while the integration of dΩuis in the
center-of-mass frame, which makes the evaluation quite diffi cult. For this
reason, we make the integration conversion as

where u=u′is understood and /bardblJ/bardblrepresents the Jacobian between the
center-of-mass frame and the laboratory frame
/bardblJ/bardbl=∂(v′,v′

∂(c′,u′). (27)
Equation (4) tells us that the Jacobian is equal to 8.
By making use of (25) and (26), the distribution function fclexpressed
by (21) becomes

In regard to expression (28), some observations are made. As mentioned
in Sec. 2, if two molecular beams with definite velocities v′andv′
1col-
lide with each other the scattered molecules will spread out only over a
two-dimensional spherical surface in the velocity space, w hich implies that
difficulty arises if the velocity distributions of scattered molecules are of con-
cern. Whereas, in this expression, all the colliding molecu les are allowed to
have distributions, the value of u′=uis allowed to vary and therefore the
scattered molecules explicitly spread out over the velocit y space (as well as
over the spatial space). Furthermore, by using the notation

∆v∆Ω0· · · · · · , (29)
10we have ensured that only the scattered molecules of relevan ce are taken
into account.
In Fig. 8, which is drawn for scattered molecules in the veloc ity space,
we are concerned only with molecules that finally enter the ra nge ∆ v∆Ω0.
Allowing uto vary a little bit, we may let the scattered molecules fill ou t
the velocity range. Namely, we have
/integraldisplay /integraldisplay
∆Ω0∆vu2dΩudu(· · ·)≈v2∆v∆Ω0(· · ·), (30)
where ( · · ·) represents other factors that have been treated as constan ts in
terms of the infinitesimally small range of ∆ v∆Ω0.
Inserting (30) into (28) and taking the limits ∆Ω 0→0 and ∆ v→0, we
finally arrive at
fcl(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1
v∆Ω/integraldisplay
−∆Ωdr0/integraldisplay

where t0=t− |r−r0|/vand the integration

is over the entire solid angle (0 →4π). Note that u,u′anduin the
integrand of (31) have to be determined skillfully. First us ec=c′and
v=v(r−r0)/|r−r0|to determine u, then use u=|u|and Ω u′to determine
u′, as shown in Fig. 9.
We have directly formulated the contribution to the solid-a ngle-average
distribution function from collisions. It should be noted t hat the formula-
tion can be done only under the condition that the velocity so lid-angle range
∆Ω is finite: if both ∆Ω and ∆Ω 0in the formulation were assumed to be
infinitesimally small, the limiting processes concerning t he two quantities
would not be in harmony with each other. This shows again that the intro-
duction of the solid-angle-average distribution function is a must to the gas
dynamics of Boltzmann gas.
5 Complete formulation
The complete formulation for the collisional Boltzmann gas is now in order.
In Fig. 10, we have depicted a piece of boundary and some colli sions taking
11place within the effective cone. As said before, all these eve nts can directly
contribute to the solid-angle-average distribution funct ion.
We then use the following sum to represent the total distribu tion function
f(t,r,v,∆Ω) = f(i)+f(ii)+f(iii), (33)
where f(i),f(ii) and f(iii)represent the contributions from the existing con-
tinuous distribution function, from the piece of boundary a nd from the col-
lisions respectively. For simplicity, no other types of dis tribution functions
are assumed to exist within the effective cone.
As has been illustrated in Sec. 3, a molecule that makes its mo tion
towards the point rmay suffer a collision with other molecules. The involved
surviving probability Phas been defined by (14). By taking the probability
into account, the first term in (2) becomes
f(i)(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1
∆Ω/integraldisplay
∆S1fct(t0,r0,v,Ω0)|cosα|dS0
|r−r0|2P(r0,r,v0),(34)
where v0inPtake the value of vand points to the direction of ( r−r0).
By taking the same effect into account, the second term in (2) c an be
expressed by
f(ii)(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1
∆Ω/integraldisplay
∆S2η(t0,r0,v,Ω0)dS0
|r−r0|2v3P(r0,r,v0).(35)
A rather detailed discussion on the molecular emission rate ηhas been
included in Ref. 1. Here, we content ourselves with pointing out that the
rateηsatisfies the normalization condition at the surface elemen tdS0. If no
molecular absorption and production by the surface element are assumed,
the following expression holds
/integraldisplay
η(t,r,v1,Ω1)dΩ1dv1=/integraldisplay
v2f(t,r,v2,Ω2)|cosθ|v2
2dΩ2dv2, (36)
in which θis the angle between the velocity v2and the normal of dS0, Ω1
points to an outward direction of dS0and Ω 2points to an inward direction of
dS0. The concrete relation between η(t,r,v) and f(t,r,v) must, of course,
be ultimately determined by experimental data[6].
In obtaining (31) for the distribution function created by c ollisions, fur-
ther collisions were excluded. To include possible further collisions, the
12contribution expressed by (31) needs to be modified as
f(iii)(t,r,v,∆Ω) =1
v∆Ω/integraldisplay
−∆Ωdr0/integraldisplay
dc′/integraldisplay
dΩu′
/bardblJ/bardbl
|r−r0|22uσ(Ωu′)f(t0,r0,c′−u′)f(t0,r0,c′+u′)P(r0,r,v0),(37)
where the integration of dr0is over the entire effective cone defined by r
and−∆Ω,|v0| ≡vand takes the direction of ( r−r0),u′is defined by
u=|c−v0|and Ω u′.
In these formulas, the probability Pshould be set to be zero at the very
beginning if there is physical blocking along the path r0r.
Equations (33)-(37) constitute a complete set of integral e quations that
describe the collisional Boltzmann gas defined in this paper . The formulation
proves in a theoretical way an obvious intuition that the dis tribution function
at a spatial point can directly be affected by physical events taking place
at other, even remote, points in view of the fact that a molecu le can freely
pass any distance in a certain probability. In this sense, th e picture here is
more “kinetic” than that associated with the Boltzmann equa tion, in which
physical events have to make their influence region by region (like what
happen in a continuous medium).
Another comment is about the famous H-theorem. If the involved
distribution function is initially nonuniform in the spati al space and non-
Maxwellian in the velocity space, the resultant distributi on function given
by the formalism will approach the uniform Maxwellian. Thou gh such ex-
plicit proof has not been achieved yet, we believe that this m ust be the case
by noticing a general discussion stating that as long as a sta tistical process
is a Markoffian one the H-theorem must hold true[7].
6 Approximation and application
Although the formulation offered in the previous section is f ormally com-
plete, there still exist difficulties that hinder one from per forming calculation
for a realistic gas. Unlike the solution for the collisionle ss Boltzmann gas,
given by (2), the equation system in the last section, namely (33)-(37), is an
integral-equation set. Without knowing the entire history of the distribution
function f(t), the integrals in the system cannot be evaluated accuratel y.
Fortunately, there are situations for which adequate appro ximations can
be introduced and meaningful results can be obtained. In wha t follows, we
13first deal with weakly collisional gases and then give some di scussion on how
the consideration can apply to more general cases.
If the density of a Boltzmann gas is relatively low, by which w e imply that
the mean free path of molecules is not too short comparing wit h the length
scale of the system or that the mean free time is not too short c omparing
with the time scale of the phenomena of interest, we may apply the following
iterating procedure to calculate the distribution functio n.
Firstly, we assume that the system can be treated as a collisi onless Boltz-
mann gas and the collisionless formulation can directly app lied. Namely, we
have the zeroth-order solution
f[0]
(i)=1
∆Ω/integraldisplay
∆S1fct(t0,r0,v,Ω0)|cosα|dS0

f[0]
(ii)=1
v3∆Ω/integraldisplay
∆S2η(t0,r0,v,Ω0)dS0
|r−r0|2. (39)
Then, we can construct the first-order distribution functio n by inserting
the zeroth-order solution into all right sides of the equati ons (33)-(37), which
yields
f[1]
(i)=1
∆Ω/integraldisplay
∆S1fct(t0,r0,v,Ω0)|cosα|dS0
|r−r0|2P[0](r0,r,v0) (40)

v1/integraldisplay
Ωu′2uσ(Ωu′)f[0](τ,rl,v1)dΩu′dv1dτ./bracketrightBigg
.(43)
In equations (42) and (43), f[0]is the total zeroth-order distribution function,
namely f[0]=f[0]
(i)+f[0]
(ii).
Along this line, we can formulate higher-order solutions fo r dilute gases.
If the gas of interest is rather dense, the approximation met hod presented
14above may not work effectively. One wishes, however, to point out that for
the regions near boundaries, where the distribution functi on suffers from
most irregularities and collisions between molecules have no enough time
to erase such irregularities, the introduced method should still make sense.
In view of this, it is expected that a hybrid method will be dev eloped, in
which the approach here and other effective approaches, such as the ordinary
fluid theory, can be combined into one scheme so that more prac tical gases
become treatable.
To illustrate the application of our approximation scheme, we investigate
a gas leaking out of box through a small hole. For simplicity, we assume,
referring Fig. 11, that the zeroth-order solution of the lea king gas is con-
fined to a “one-dimensional thin pipe” (shaded in the figure), which can be
expressed by
f[0]=/braceleftBigg
C0exp/bracketleftbig−mv2
x/(2κT)/bracketrightbig(inside the pipe)
0 (outside the pipe)(44)
and then we try to determine the collisional effects of the dis tribution func-
tion.
Note that the distribution function expressed by (44) is kin d of special so
that the formula (42) should be slightly modified. For this pu rpose, we write
the differential collision probability as (the subindex xofvxis suppressed)
[f(v′)∆Sdx0dv′][f(v′
1)dv′
1][2uσ(Ωu)dΩu], (45)
where ∆ Sis the cross area of the pipe. By making the variable transfor ma-
tion, we obtain

In a way similar to that has been presented in the last section , we finally
arrive at
f[1][(∆θ)i] =∆S

−(∆θ)idx0∞/integraldisplay
0dc′8σ(Ωu)
u|r−r0|2f[0](c′+u′)f[0](c′−u′),(46)
where (∆ θ)iis the polar angle range set by the investigator (the azimuth al
angle range is irrelevant in the case).
15The formula (46) can be calculated easily with a computer. Re ferring to
Fig. 11b, we set
v= 1, r⊥= 1,m
2κT= 1,
let (∆ θ)ibe the interval
/bracketleftbigg
0.4π−0.52 +i
50,0.4π−0.5 +i

and notice σ(Ωu) is constant[4]. The numerical results are listed as the
following: (normalized by f[(∆θ)0])
f[(∆θ)0] = 1.00000e+ 00
f[(∆θ)5] = 5.23910e−01
f[(∆θ)10] = 2.01786e−01
f[(∆θ)15] = 5.03200e−02
f[(∆θ)20] = 4.76340e−03
f[(∆θ)25] = 5.11013e−05.(47)
7 Summary
In this paper, we have proposed a complete mathematical sche me to deal
with the Boltzmann gas. The scheme has many new features. In a ddition
to those given in Ref. 1, some related to treating collisiona l effects are the
following.
Firstly, collisional effects are investigated in the full ve locity-and-position
space. In particular, a six-dimensional volume element is e xplicitly defined
and a calculation concerning molecules entering the volume element is di-
rectly performed.
Secondly, both the colliding molecules and scattered molec ules are al-
lowed to have distributions. In other words, we consider the full and collec-
tive behavior of collisions, in which the time-reversal sym metry existing for
a collision of two molecules plays almost no role.
Thirdly, the treatment in this approach is consistent with t he previous
approach to the collisionless Boltzmann gas in the sense tha t all the formulas
are given in terms of what happen along molecular paths.
Finally, the resultant formulas of this approach are, in man y practical
situations, calculable by means of today’s computer.
It is believed that this approach will be developed further s o that a better
understanding of complicated fluid phenomena can be achieve d.

(February 2, 2008)
The frequency of the Calcium3P1—1S0intercombination
line at 657 nm is phase–coherently measured in terms of the
output of a primary cesium frequency standard using an opti-
cal frequency comb generator comprising a sub–10 fs Kerr-le ns
mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser and an external microstruct ure
fiber for self–phase–modulation. The measured frequency of
νCa= 455 986 240 494 276 Hz agrees within its relative un-
certainty of 4 ×10−13with the values previously measured
with a conceptually different harmonic frequency chain and
with the value recommended for the realization of the SI unit
of length.
So far, the use of optical frequency standards for the
realization of basic units, e. g. of time and length, was
hampered by the difficulties of measuring their high fre-
quencies. As a result, the most precise frequency values
recommended by the Comit´ e International des Poids et
Measures (CIPM) are based on very few frequency mea-
surements [1]. Recent progress in femtosecond pulse gen-
eration and the advent of microstructure optical fibers
[2–4], however, have substantially facilitated such opti-
cal frequency measurements. These schemes [5–7] start
with the highly periodic pulse train of a Kerr–lens mode–
locked laser which corresponds in the to a comb–like fre-
quency spectrum of equidistant lines. The spectral span
of this comb reflects the duration of an individual pulse
while the spacing between the lines is determined by
the pulse repetition frequency. It has been shown, that
the fast, spectrally far–reaching Kerr–lens mode–locking
mechanism enforces a tight coupling [8] of the optical
phases of the individual lines. As a result, the frequency
of any of these lines is given by an integer multiple of
the pulse repetition frequency frepand a frequency νceo
[9–11] which accounts for the offset of the entire comb
with respect to the frequency origin. If these quanti-
ties are known, the unknown frequency of any external
optical signal can be precisely determined by counting
the frequency of the beat–note between this signal and a
suitable comb line. In this Letter, we report the first ap-
plication of this method to phase–coherent measurements
of the frequency of an optical Ca frequency standard op-
erating on the1S0—3P1intercombination transition at657 nm.
The frequency of this state–of–the–art standard has al-
ready been measured with a conventional harmonic fre-
quency chain [12,13], and the frequency value of νCa=
455 986 240 494 150 Hz has been recommended by the
CIPM for the ’Practical realization of the definition of
the metre (1997)’ [1] with a relative standard uncertainty
of 6×10−13. The present experiments allow for the first
time the comparison of two conceptually different phase–
coherent optical frequency measurements, the conven-
tional type operating in absolute–frequency domain and
the novel type operating in difference–frequency domain.
This comparison is performed without the need for inter-
mediate transportable standards.
Two of the three required measurements mentioned
above, the pulse repetition rate frepand the multiple in-
teger factor, are straightforward to carry out. The mea-
surement of the c arrier–e nvelope o ffset frequency νceo,
which arises from the relative velocity of the carrier phase
and the pulse envelope, is a more demanding task. Sev-
eral more or less complex schemes, depending on the
comb span available, have been proposed for the mea-
surement of νceo[10]. The simplest concept requires an
octave span of the frequency comb which is not directly
available from our laser. Thus, the available span has
to be expanded, e. g. by external self–phase–modulation
(SPM). Microstructure air–silica fibers, which allow for
tailoring the group velocity dispersion (GVD) properties
[2] are highly suited for SPM of moderate peak power
pulses available from mode–locked laser oscillators since
they provide both lateral and temporal confinement of
the pulses over long interaction lengths. If the octave
span is achieved, then the νceomeasurement can be ac-
complished by second–harmonic generation (SHG) of the
spectral lines in the low–frequency wing of the comb.
Whereas the of the comb lines are shifted by νceowith
respect to the origin, their harmonics are shifted by
2νceo. Thus, the beat notes between these harmonics
and the corresponding high–frequency–wing lines of the
comb show the desired component at νceo.
1FIG. 1. Schematic of the experimental set-up. The fre-
quency comb generator consists of the Ti:Sapphire femtosec -
ond laser and the microstructure fiber. SESAM denotes
the semiconductor saturable absorber mirror, and PZT piezo
transducers. Whereas the repetition rate is phase locked to
the hydrogen maser, fCaandνceoare counted. LBO denotes
the LiB 3O5–frequency doubling crystal, PD photo detectors,
PM photomultiplier, PLL phase–locked loop tracking oscill a-
tor, and FVC a frequency–to–voltage converter, respective ly.
As depicted in Fig. 1, our measurement set–up consists
of four parts: the frequency comb generator (i), detectors
and electronics for servo control and/or data acquisition
of the pulse repetition frequency (ii), of the beat note
between the laser and Ca–standard radiation (iii) and of
the carrier–envelope–offset frequency (iv).
i) The Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) Ti:Sapphire laser
is similar to that described in [14]. The laser gener-
ates pulses with a duration of ∼10 fs, a repetition rate
frep= 100 MHz, an average power of 120 mW and a
spectrum centered at 790 nm. The group velocity disper-
sion (GVD) of its cavity is controlled by double–chirped
mirrors and an intracavity fused silica prism pair. A
similar external prism pair (not shown in Fig. 1) is used
for pulse recompression. Approximately 30 mW of the
laser output is coupled into a 10 cm long piece of mi-
crostructure fiber with a core diameter of 1.7 µm and a
zero–GVD wavelength of 780 nm [2]. The output spec-
trum of the fiber was measured to cover the range from
520 nm to 1100 nm, while the comb structure with dis-
tinct lines spaced by 100 MHz is expected to be preserved
even in the extreme wings of the SPM–broadened spec-
trum. This was confirmed by measurement of the fringe–
visibility (after appropriate optical filtering) at the out -
put of a two beam interferometer with 100 MHz fringe
spacing yielding a 100 % visibility throughout the entire
comb.
ii) The repetition frequency of the laser was detected
with a fast Si PIN photo diode yielding a 100 MHz signal
with a S/N–ratio of 140 dB (BW = 1 Hz). It was phase–
locked to the 100 MHz output signal of a hydrogen maser
which was controlled by the PTB primary Cs standards.The actuator of this servo loop is a double piezo device
(PZT1A and B) which tilts the output coupler where the
spectral components are laterally displaced by the intra–
cavity double prism GVD compensator. Tilting of the
output coupler predominantally modifies the resonator
round–trip group delay [9] which, in turn, determines
frep.
iii) The frequency fCaof the beat note between the ra-
diation from the Ca–standard (at optical frequency νCa)
and the nearest comb mode was both measured and long–
term stabilized. For this purpose, the output of the Ca
standard was combined with the emission from the out-
put of the microstructure fiber, which was filtered by
an interference filter. The beat note was detected by
a Si PIN photo diode. Its output signal with a typi-
cal S/N–ratio of 30 dB (BW = 100 kHz) was filtered by
a phase–lock–loop tracking oscillator (PLL) and subse-
quently counted by a totalizing counter. The beat sig-
nal frequency was kept within the hold–in range of the
PLL by an additional servo loop controlling the length of
the Ti:Sapphire–laser resonator with the help of a piezo
transducer (PZT2). The error signal of this slow loop was
generated by a frequency–to–voltage–converter (FVC)
which monitored the output frequency of the PLL. Un-
wanted cross–talk between the frepandfCaservo loops
was minimized by adjustment of the lever point of the
frep–tilting actuator to the lateral position of the red
comb components at 657 nm. This was accomplished by
choosing appropriate gain values (of opposite sign) for
the piezo transducers PZT1A and B.
iv) The frequency νceowas measured, as mentioned
above, by external self–phase modulation in the mi-
crostructure fiber and subsequent second–harmonic gen-
eration in a nonlinear optical crystal. The infrared por-
tion of the fiber output around 1070 nm was frequency
doubled with a non–critically phase–matched, 10 mm
long LiB 3O5(LBO) crystal, which was heated to about
140◦C in order to fulfill the type-I phase–matching con-
dition for this wavelength. The beat note between the re-
sulting green SHG signal and the green output of the fiber
was detected by a photo multiplier (PM) after spectral
and spatial filtering both fields with a single mode fiber
and a 600 l/mm grating, respectively. The PM output
signal with a S/N ratio of up to 40 dB(BW = 100 kHz)
was filtered with a second tracking oscillator and counted
by a second totalizing counter. Both counters were syn-
chronously gated by the same 1 Hz clock signal derived
from the 100 MHz hydrogen maser signal.
The optical Ca frequency standard has been described
elsewhere [13,15], and only the relevant details shall be
given here. This standard is operated in a different build-
ing and is linked to the Ti:Sapphire laser by a 150 m long
polarization–preserving single–mode fiber. Two indepen-
dent systems are available, producing clouds of between
106and 107ballistic Ca atoms which are released from
magneto–optical traps (MOT 1 and MOT 2). Each trap
2is loaded for 15 ms. Then the trapping lasers at 423 nm
and the magnetic quadrupole fields are switched off, and
a homogeneous magnetic field of 0.23 mT is switched on
for spectral separation of the Zeeman components. At
the same time the cloud starts to expand and to fall down
due to its thermal velocity ( T∼=3 mK) and gravity, re-
spectively. After a settling time for the magnetic field
of 0.2 ms the atoms are interrogated by pulses from a
frequency–stabilized dye laser. For the frequency mea-
surements MOT 1 was employed, in which the low veloc-
ity atoms are directly captured from a thermal beam by
three mutually perpendicular counterpropagating beams
with two different frequencies. The atoms were excited
in a time–domain analogue of the optical Ramsey excita-
tion by two pulses separated by 216.4 µs followed by two
pulses with the same separation from a counterpropagat-
ing beam [15]. The frequency of the interrogating laser
field was stabilized to the central fringe (FWHM of the
fringes 1.16 kHz) of the interference structure that occurs
when the fluorescence of the excited atoms is measured
as function of the laser frequency. The uncertainty of
the frequency of the Ca optical frequency standard dur-
ing both measurement series was estimated to 53 Hz. A
more detailed uncertainty budget is given in [15]. Sev-
eral tests have been performed to check the validity of
this estimate. By reversing the temporal order of the
excitation pulses a shift of a few Hertz was determined.
The frequency of the laser stabilized to atoms of MOT 1
was compared with its frequency when stabilized to a
second MOT 2. Here, the atoms of an effusive beam
are decelerated in a Zeeman slower and these slow atoms
are deflected and directed towards the magneto–optical
trap [16]. The frequency difference measured when the
laser was stabilized alternatively to atoms from MOT 1
and MOT 2 by three pulses of a standing wave was
12±15 Hz. An additional laser field at 672 nm was used
in MOT 1 to repump the atoms which are lost via the1D2
state [17]. The magnetic field of 0.23 mT caused a second
order Zeeman shift of the Ca frequency of +3.1 Hz.

the measured Ca frequency of +26 Hz and 24 Hz, respec-
tively. The deviations of the corrected measured mean

Fig. 2 shows the Allan standard deviation of the data
of series B together with the corresponding frequency in-
stabilities of the Ca standard [18] and those of the hy-
drogen maser [19]. The inset of Fig. 2 shows a histogram
of the data of series B (1 s averages) with respect to the
CIPM–recommended frequency. The center frequency of
the fitted Gaussian of νCa(CIPM )+ 46 Hz agrees within
the uncertainty with the mean value of series B. The in-
stability of the frequency measurement process is about
one order of magnitude larger than the frequency insta-
bility of the Ca standard and of the hydrogen maser.
So far, the measurements are still limited by the non–
optimum detection of the frequency fluctuations of the
Ti:Sapphire laser. Substantial improvement of the mea-
3surement process can be expected if the instantaneous
residual phase error between frepand the hydrogen maser
reference signal is simultaneously measured, i.e. at a high
harmonic of frep.
To conclude, the frequency of an optical frequency
standard based on the Calcium3P1—1S0intercombina-
tion transition at 657 nm has been measured in terms
of the output of a primary cesium frequency standard
using a novel type of optical frequency chain. Accu-
rate frequency measurements of this optical standard
are of particular importance since it represents one of
the realizations of the unit of length with lowest uncer-
tainty. Furthermore, the optical frequency of the Ca
standard is used as a reference for highly accurate fre-
quency measurements of other optical or ultraviolet tran-
sitions [20]. The frequency value presented in this Letter
agrees within its relative uncertainty with the CIPM–
recommended value, which is based on a measurement
with a harmonic frequency chain. The agreement justifies
the confidence in the data obtained from both measure-
ment schemes. The advantages of the novel scheme em-
ployed here, such as the substantially reduced complexity
and the accurately known, dense grid of reference fre-
quencies throughout the visible and near infrared range,
allows a variety of new applications including the real-
ization of optical clocks or ultra–precise measurements
in fundamental physics.

Can Zero-Point Phenomena truly be the Origin of Inertia?
Charles T. Ridgely
charles@ridgely.wsGalilean Electrodynamics, in review (2000)
Abstract
A current approach to the problem of inertia suggests that the origin of the inertial
properties of matter is the interaction between matter and vacuum electromagnetic zero-point radiation. Herein, it is shown that zero-point phenomena can be treated as theorigin of inertia only when one chooses to ignore the mass-energy content of matter. Inthe absence of any physical basis for such a choice, it is concluded that zero-point-induced forces must arise in addition to the intrinsic inertial properties of ordinary matter.
1. Introduction
Several recent papers have proposed that the origin of the inertial properties of matter
can be explained by expressing the inertial mass m in Newton's second law of motion,
()dmdt=fv ,( 1 )
entirely in terms of the vacuum electromagnetic zero-point-field (ZPF).1-5 According to
the ZPF proposal, when a body of ordinary matter is accelerated by an external force, thequarks and electrons constituting the body scatter a portion of the zero-point radiationoccupying the space through which the body moves. This scattering of radiation leads toan electromagnetic drag force on the body, which according to ZPF proponents can beassociated with the inertial resistance of the body.
1-5 The ZPF hypothesis seems2
compelling because it not only provides a local description of the inertial properties of
matter, but also provides an electromagnetic basis for inertial and gravitational forcesalike. Supporters of the ZPF hypothesis have performed a great deal of work inattempting to show that the interaction between matter and zero-point radiation gives riseto observable forces.
1-5 Even so, the ZPF hypothesis still seems to suffer from at least a
couple of inherent conceptual difficulties.
Certainly, a real zero-point radiation field must give rise some level of resistance on
accelerating matter. The question is, however, what fraction of the inertial force on anaccelerating object is actually induced by interaction with the ZPF? This seems to beultimately hinged on how one chooses to view E = mc
2, referred to as the “law of inertia
of energy” in earlier times.6 Those who support the ZPF hypothesis interpret the energy
content of ordinary matter as entirely kinetic energy of quarks and electrons induced byinteraction with zero-point radiation.
1,4 Of course, the problem with this interpretation is
that it implies that subatomic particles have no intrinsic rest mass-energy content. Thepresent analysis employs the more traditional interpretation that E = mc
2 is merely a
statement that all forms of energy possess inertial properties.7-12 Since subatomic
particles are known to possess rest mass-energy, such particles ought to exhibit intrinsicinertial properties in addition to any effects arising due to zero-point radiation.
Another problem is that the ZPF hypothesis ascribes the inertial properties of matter
entirely to the inertial mass m in Newton's second law of motion,
1-5 while ignoring the
underlying participation of space-time.7-12 The behavior of space-time clearly forms the
basis necessary for the existence of ZPF-induced forces. Since the vacuumelectromagnetic ZPF is Lorentz-invariant, if space-time were incapable of distortion the3
ZPF would remain undetectable in all systems of reference. As a result, ZPF-induced
forces would not occur. Of course, space-time distortion does occur and does give rise toobservable forces, as is suggested by general relativity.
13-18 Based on this, the objective
of the present analysis is to demonstrate that resistance forces induced by the ZPF act inaddition to the intrinsic inertial properties of ordinary matter.
In the next Section, a block of matter undergoing uniform acceleration is considered.
It is pointed out that while the ZPF cannot be detected in an inertial system of reference,this is not so in an accelerating system. Observers residing on the accelerating blockdetect a flux of zero-point radiation passing through the block. The force density due tothis flux of radiation is derived for the case of a small, particle-sized block. Uponexpressing the force in terms of space-time distortion within the accelerating system,
11 it
becomes straightforward to see that ZPF-induced forces arise due to the behavior ofspace-time.
In Section 3, the expression for the force derived in Section 2 is applied to the case in
which a body accelerates uniformly through zero-point radiation. To derive the totalresistance force acting on the body, the expression for the force is modified to include allforms of energy possessed by the accelerating body.
7-12 Carrying this out leads to an
expression for the resistance force having two terms. One term arises due to the body’sinteraction with the ZPF, and is identical to the force derived solely on the basis of theZPF hypothesis;
1-4 the other term arises due to the body’s intrinsic rest mass-energy. The
form of this expression makes it clear that zero-point phenomena cannot be the origin ofinertia; the intrinsic mass-energy of matter must be taken into account, as well. Withoutgood reason for intentionally disregarding the intrinsic energy content of matter, it is4
concluded that forces induced by interaction with zero-point radiation arise in addition to
the intrinsic inertial properties of matter.
2. The Resistance Force on Accelerating Matter due to Zero-Point Radiation
As mentioned in the Introduction, zero-point radiation cannot be detected in an inertial
system of reference. This is not the case in an accelerating system, however. Consider a
block of matter, of volume 0V, undergoing uniform acceleration. Observers residing in
the comoving reference frame (CMRF) of the block detect a flux of zero-point radiation
entering the block through the front side, which we may call wall A, and passing out the
block through the back side, which we call 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 ,( 2 )
where AS and BS are the Poynting vectors corresponding to the flux of zero-point
radiation detected at walls A and B, respectively. Expressing the Poynting vectors in
terms of the energy density of the ZPF at each wall leads to
AAcu=Sn , (3a)
BBcu=Sn , (3b)
where Au and Bu are the energy densities of the ZPF at walls A and B, and n is a unit
vector in the direction of the block's acceleration. Since the block is accelerating, zero-
point radiation gains energy as it traverses the length of the block, from wall A to wall B.
As a result, radiation detected at wall B appears blue-shifted relative to radiation detected5
at wall A. Taking this into account, the Poynting vector given by Eq. (3b) can be
expressed as
2
A
BA
Bdcudτ
τ=Sn ,( 4 )
where Adτ and Bdτ are intervals of proper time experienced by comoving observers
situated at walls A and B, respectively. Using Eqs. (3a) and (4) in Eq. (2), the momentum
density of zero-point radiation within the block becomes
2
1AA
Bud
cdτ
τ∆= − n pppp .( 5 )
Expressing this in terms of coordinate time in the accelerating system, and simplifying a
bit, then leads to
22 2
AA
ABu d dt dt
cd t d dτ
ττ ∆= − n pppp ,( 6 )
where dt is an interval of coordinate time in the accelerating system. Equation (6) shows
that the momentum density of zero-point radiation within the block is a directmanifestation of space-time structure in the accelerating system.
10-12 Were space-time
incapable of distortion, the expression within square parentheses guarantees that the zero-point momentum density would be zero in all systems of reference.
The force density possessed by zero-point radiation passing through the block can be
derived by using
τ=∆ ∆fpfpfpfp , where τ∆ is an interval of proper time in the CMRF of the
block. Comoving observers at wall A can express τ∆ in terms of the block's length, x′∆,
along the x′−axis of the CMRF, by noticing that the time taken for a light signal to6
complete a round trip across the block is 2xcτ′ ∆=∆ . Using this time interval and Eq.
(6), the force density within the block can then be expressed as
22 2
ˆ
2AA
ABu d dt dt
xd t d dτ
ττ ′ =− ′∆ x ffff .( 7 )
where ˆ′x is a unit vector in the direction of the block’s acceleration along the x′−axis of
the CMRF. Equation (7) holds for large volumes in which ABddττ≠ and x′∆ assumes
sizeable values. However, when the volume of the block is very small, then ABddττ≈
and x′∆ assumes very small values. The force density within a particle-sized volume can
be expressed by taking the limit of Eq. (7) as Bdτ tends to Adτ and x′∆ tends to zero:
0BAdd
xLim
ττ→
′∆→′=ffffffff .( 8 )
Carrying out the limit and noting that B dt dτ> A dt dτ, the force density assumes the
form11
0 ˆ lndtuxdτ∂ ′′=− ′∂x ffff ,( 9 )
where 0u is the proper energy density of the ZPF according to observers residing in the
CMRF of the particle.
Equation (9) expresses the force density of zero-point radiation passing through a
particle of matter undergoing substantial acceleration along the x′–coordinate axis of the
CMRF. When the acceleration is weak, however, the force density simplifies to10-11
0 ˆdtuxdτ∂′′=− ′∂x ffff . (10)7
And when transformed from the accelerating system to flat Minkowski space-time, the
force density becomes10
0dtudτ=−ffff∇∇∇∇ , (11)
where it is assumed that v << c, and the prime has been dropped from ′ffff for simplicity.
According to observers in Minkowski space-time, when an external force f is exerted
on a particle, a resistance force ZPFf arises due to interaction between the particle and
zero-point radiation. Using Eq. (11), observers in Minkowski space-time can express this
resistance force as
00 ZPFdtuVdτ=− f ∇∇∇∇ , (12)
where 0V is the volume of the accelerating particle. Equation (12) gives the resistance
force acting on an accelerating particle due to the scattering of zero-point radiation.
According to Eq. (12), the force on the particle arises not only due to the presence ofzero-point radiation, but also due to the distortion of space-time characterized by
dt dτ.10-12 It is interesting to note that when dt dτ assumes a constant value, the force
given by Eq. (12) is then zero. This suggests that space-time is intimately involved in the
generation of ZPF-induced forces.
3. The Total Resistance Force on a Uniformly Accelerating Body
In the preceding Section, it was shown that ZPF-induced forces arise due to the
behavior of space-time. In this Section, it is shown that zero-point radiation can be thesole origin of inertia only when the intrinsic energy content of matter is ignored.8
According to the ZPF hypothesis, when a material body undergoes acceleration due to
an external force, the quarks and electrons constituting the body scatter a portion of thezero-point radiation passing through the body. The energy density of this portion ofradiation is
1-5
()3
232ZPFudcωηω ωπ=∫!, (13)
in which the fraction of zero-point radiation that actually interacts with the accelerating
body is governed by the spectral function ()ηω. The interaction between the body and
zero-point radiation imparts a quantity of energy to the body. However, another form of
energy that must also be taken into account is the intrinsic rest mass-energy of the
accelerating body.7-12 Thus, the total energy of the accelerating body must then be
()3
00 232EEV dcωηω ωπ=+∫!, (14)
where 0E is the rest mass-energy of the body.
In order to determine an expression for the total resistance force acting on the
accelerating body, Eq. (12) must be amended to include all forms of energy possessed by
the body.7-12 This calls for replacing 00uV in Eq. (12) with the body’s total energy, E.
Carrying this out and then inserting the total energy given by Eq. (14) leads to
()3
00 232dtEV dcdωηω ωπτ =− + ∫f!∇∇∇∇ . (15)
According to stationary observers, this is the resistance force acting on a uniformly
accelerating body of rest mass-energy 0E that interacts with zero-point radiation. To9
simplify Eq. (15), we may consider a particular body accelerating uniformly along the
x−coordinate axis. For this case, we may put12
21dt ax
dcτ≈+ , (16a)
2dt
dcτ=a∇∇∇∇ . (16b)
Substituting the second of these expressions into Eq. (15), and simplifying a bit, then
leads to
()3
0
0 22 32Vmdccωηω ωπ=− −∫fa a!, (17)
in which 2
00Em c= was used to simplify the first term.
Equation (17) is the total resistance force exerted on a body of mass 0m that is
accelerating uniformly through zero-point radiation. With the exclusion of the first term,
Eq. (17) is identical to the inertial force derived on the basis of the ZPF hypothesis.1-4 In
fact, supporters of ZPF hypothesis claim that the inertial mass of an accelerating bodyshould be expressed entirely by the expression within parentheses, in the second term of
Eq. (17). Clearly, this makes sense only when one chooses to set
00 m=. This is nothing
more than a choice, of course; there exists no rational basis for purposely dismissing the
intrinsic mass-energy of matter. The interaction between matter and zero-point radiationmust certainly lead to forces on accelerating objects,
1-5 but such forces must arise in
addition to the inertial forces arising due to the intrinsic energy content of matter.10
4. Discussion and Conclusions
The zero-point field (ZPF) approach to the problem of inertia asserts that the origin of
inertia rests entirely with the interaction between the subatomic particles constitutingmatter and vacuum electromagnetic zero-point radiation.
1-5 As mentioned in the
Introduction, one problem with this approach is that it seems to disregard the intrinsicenergy content of matter. According to the ZPF hypothesis, the rest mass-energy contentof matter is entirely kinetic energy of quarks and electrons induced by interaction withzero-point radiation.
1,4 Of course, the present analysis has adhered to the more traditional
interpretation that all forms of matter possess intrinsic rest mass-energy, and that allforms of energy exhibit inertial properties in accordance with the law of inertia of energy,
2Em c= .7-12 Since subatomic particles such as quarks and electrons are each endowed
with an intrinsic rest mass-energy, it makes sense that these particles must possessintrinsic inertial properties aside from zero-point phenomena.
Another problem with the ZPF hypothesis is that it suggests that the origin of the
inertial properties of matter rests solely with the inertial mass appearing in Newton’ssecond law of motion,
1-5 while neglecting the crucial role played by space-time.7-12
Herein, it has been shown that ZPF-induced forces manifest directly due to the behaviorof space-time in accelerating systems, and that such forces act in addition to the inertialforces arising due to the intrinsic energy content of matter. Clearly, the only way zero-point phenomena can be treated as the source of inertia is when the intrinsic energycontent of matter is intentionally ignored. In the absence of any good reason for this, theonly rational conclusion to be had is that ZPF-induced forces are resistance forces actingin addition to the intrinsic inertial properties of matter.11

1 Introduction
This paper reviews recent development of the atomic antenna , a theoretical framework
which describes a number of laser-induced multiphoton phen omena in atoms. The
localization of atomic electrons inside an atom drasticall y suppresses their interaction
with a laser field. For many processes this circumstance favo rs multistep mechanisms
when at first one of atomic electrons is released from an atom b y the field. After that
an interaction of the ejected electron with the laser field re sults in absorption of energy
from the field and its accumulation in the form of the electron wiggling energy and ATI
energy. It is very essential that the energy absorbed by the e lectron can be transferred
to the parent atomic core via an inelastic collision of the pr imarily ejected electron with
the atom. The collision may trigger a number of phenomena inc luding high harmonic
generation (HHG), enhancement of above-threshold ionizat ion (ATI), production of
multiply charged ions. In this physical picture the absorpt ion of energy from the field
takes place in the region of large separations from an atom, w here the electron-laser
interaction dominates over the electron-core potential. T his circumstance results in
dramatic enhancement of the probability of multiphoton pro cesses. Such a scenario of
photoabsorption was suggested, apparently for the first tim e, in Ref. [1]. Later the idea
was rediscovered by several authors in different contexts [2 , 3, 4]. In current literature
the above described sequence of events is often referred to a s the rescattering, the three-
step mechanism, or even the simpleman model. The term atomic antenna , suggested
in Ref. [1], refers to the fact that the firstly emitted electr on plays a role similar to an
aerial in conventional radio devices, enhancing the absorp tion.
It is very important that the physical picture drawn above ca n be implemented not
only as a model, but also as a clear and rigorous quantum forma lism. In this paper we
outline two convenient ways to implement the atomic antenna idea. The one originating
from Ref. [1] is called the factorization technique. It was f ormulated in detail in Ref. [5]and recently applied to HG in Refs. [6, 7]. We discuss also ano ther, complimentary
technique, which is referred to below as the method of effecti ve ATI channels. It is
close in spirit to the approach developed previously by Lewe nstein et al[8, 9] and can
in turn be linked to the Corcum model [2]. From the first glance , these two schemes
differ very significantly. However, we prove their identity b y demonstrating that they
describe the same physical idea from different points of view .
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the fa ctorization technique
which allows one to present the amplitude of the ”complicate d” multiphoton process as
a product of the amplitudes of much more simple, ”elementary ” processes. Section 3
is devoted to the concept of effective ATI channels, which pro vides important insights
into the physical nature of complicated multiphoton proces ses. We derive the effective
ATI channels from the factorization technique revealing cl ose links between the two
approaches. Section 4 describes two important examples of ” elementary” processes:
one of them is the photoionization, another one is the electr on-atom collision in a laser
field which results in the generation of the high-energy quan ta. These two ”elementary”
processes are vital for description of HG in the framework of the factorization technique.
Sections 5, 6 are devoted to several examples illustrating n umerically an accuracy of
methods developed for HHG and ATI. A number of results report ed in this paper are
derived neglecting the Coulomb field of the residual atomic p article which influence the
active atomic electron. This approach is well justified for n egative ions, but needs to
be modified for the processes with neutral atoms. Section 7 ex poses our recent progress
based on the eikonal approach which allows us to take into acc ount the Coulomb field.
The concluding Section 8 summarizes the results. The atomic units are used throughout
the paper unless indicated otherwise.
2 Factorization technique
The factorization technique of Ref. [5] can be applied to a nu mber of multiphoton
processes. In this section our attention is restricted to an important example of HG
which has been recently considered by the present authors [6 , 7]. We concentrate on
the linearly polarized laser field
F(t) =Fcosωt (1)
that creates the external potential V(t) =F(t)·racting on atomic electrons. Using
the second order time-dependent perturbation theory one ca n present the amplitude of

The initial-state wave function is
φa(r, t) =φa(r) exp(−iEat) (3)
where Ea=−κ2/2 is the bound state energy and φa(r) is the corresponding atomic
eigenfunction. The potential U=ǫ·raccounts for production of the high harmonic withthe frequency Ω = Nωand the polarization ǫ. The Green function G(t, t′) describes the
electron propagation in the intermediate state. The amplit ude (2) takes into account
only a sequence of events in which HHG follows the absorption of the necessary energy
from the laser field. A number of omitted, the so called time-r eversed sequences, is
strongly suppressed due to multiphoton nature of the proces s.
Neglecting the potential of the atomic core (a possible way t o lift this approximation
is considered in Section 7), one can present the Green functi on via a complete set of

The multiphoton nature of the problem makes the phases of the integrand in (2) to vary
rapidly with t,t′. This circumstance allows one to use the saddle-point appro ximation
for integrations over the time variables. After the accurate integration over the momenta
pin (4), see details in [5, 6, 7], it is possible to show that (2) , (4), (5) lead to the following
convenient presentation of the HHG amplitude

Each term in (6) is written as a product of two amplitudes of physical, fully accomplished
and observable processes; no ”off-shell” entities appear. Therefore Eqs. ( 6), (7) clearly
demonstrate the stepwise character of the process. The first step is described by the first
factor Am µ0(Km) which is an amplitude of physical ATI process when after abs orption
ofmlaser photons the active electron acquires a translational momentum p=Km. In
the Keldysh-type approximation this amplitude can be evalu ated using the saddle-point
technique discussed in Section 4. The subscript µ0inAm µ0specifies the contribution
of one particular saddle point in t′integration, see more details in Section 4. The other
factor, BN mµ 0(Km), is a combined amplitude of the second and third steps , which are
the propagation and laser assisted recombination (PLAR). I t can be further factorised
into the propagation factor 1 /Rmµ0describing the second step and the amplitude of the
third step , which is the laser assisted recombination (LAR), CNm(Km):
BN mµ 0(Km)≃1

Rmµ0is merely an approximate expression for the distance passed by the active electron
in course of its laser-induced wiggling motion

Rm µ0=−ω2
Fcosωt′mµ0. (9)
The amplitude CNm(p) of the physical LAR process describes the laser assisted re com-
bination, i.e. transition of an electron with momentum pfrom the continuum to thebound state. Since the continuum state is laser-dressed, th e recombining electron can
emit the N-th harmonic photon, gaining necessary extra energy from th e laser field.
More details on LAR amplitude are given in Section 4.
The summation in formula (6) runs over a number of photons mabsorbed on the
first step of the process when the active electron is released . In other words one can say
that the energy conservation constraint selects the discre te set of ATI channels in the
laser-dressed continuum. These channels serve as intermed iate states for the three-step
HG process. In a given channel the electron has translationa l momentum Kmwith the
absolute value defined by
Km=/radicalBig
2 (mω−Up+Ea). (10)
HereUp≡F2/(4ω2) is the well-known ponderomotive potential. ATI plays a rol e of
the first stage of HHG process only if the electron momentum ha s specific direction ,
namely Kmis directed along F. This ensures eventual electron return to the core that
makes the final step, LAR, possible as discussed in detail in R efs. [5, 6, 7].

Eq. (6) is the major result of this section. It presents the am plitude of the “com-
plicated” HG process in terms of the amplitudes of “elementa ry” processes which are
the ionization and LAR. Conceptual significance of this resu lt is based on the fact that
it supports the three-step interpretation of the HG process which, in turn, stems from
the physical picture of the atomic antenna discussed in Sect ion 1. Eq. (6) is also very
convenient for numerical applications, since a knowledge o n sufficiently simple elemen-
tary amplitudes enables one to calculate accurately the HG p rocess, as discussed below
in Section 5.
3 Effective channels
The summation over min Eq. (6) has a clear physical interpretation. After the firs t
step (ionization) the released electron can be found in any A TI channel before colliding
with the parent atom. After the third step all intermediate c hannels result in the same
final electron state. Therefore the contributions of interm ediate ATI level interfere,
as shows the summation over min Eq. (6). The interference has several prominent
manifestations including the cutoff of the HHG rates for high Nand their oscillations
in the plateau domain, as discussed in Section 5. The number o f the ATI channels
which give significant contribution to the amplitude is usua lly large
δm≫1. (12)
This circumstance does not pose a problem for numerical appl ications based on Eq. (6),
but may in some situations obscure the qualitative analyses . To overcome this difficulty
it is desirable to carry out summation over min (6) in an analytical form. This is the
major task of this Section which follows the approach of Ref. [10].Let us verify first that the summation over min (6) can be replaced by integration
over the related continuum variable

To prove the reliability of the approximation based on (13) w e use the Poisson sum-
mation formula which allows one to present the amplitude of H HG in the following
form/summationdisplay

Nm=/summationdisplay
j/integraldisplay

Nm. (14)
The summation index jin (14) may be looked at as a variable which is conjugate
to the mvariable. Since mωrefers to the spectrum, 2 πj/ω should be identified as a
time variable or, more accurately, as a number of periods of t ime that elapsed between
the ejection of the electron from an atom and its return back. The wave function of
the released electron spreads in space the more the larger jis. Therefore one should
anticipate that the most important contribution to (14) is g iven by the major term
j= 0. Same conclusion can be drawn from Eq. (13). The estimate s hows that the
spectral variable mcovers a wide region which causes the time variable jto be localized.
This discussion demonstrates that one can safely take the le ading j= 0 term in (14)
thus supporting (13).
An advantage of integration over the variable min (13) is that it can be carried out
in closed analytical form using the saddle-point method. To specify this statement let
us return to Eqs. (2), (4), (5). One can deduce from them that t he major dependence
of the phase of the integrand of (2) on integration variables is associated with the factor
exp(iS) where Sis the classical action

Since we know from Eq. (7) that the momentum variable arises i n the final formulas
asKm, we can use this momentum in (15) instead of the integration v ariable pthat
originates from (4). It should be noted that Eq. (7) where Kmarises was derived using
accurate integration over all momenta p; hence the substitution p→Kmin (15) is not
an additional approximation.
Eq. (6) was obtained using the saddle points approximation f or integrations over
the time variables t,t′. Positions of m-dependent saddle points tm,t′
mare governed by
the equations

∂t′S(t, t′, m) = 0 , (17)
in which mis considered as an integer labeling the physical ATI channe l. As was
mentioned above, Eq. (13) opens a possibility for integrati on over mthat can also be
carried out using the saddle point approximation. The posit ions of corresponding saddle
points are governed by the following equation
∂
∂mS(t, t′, m) = 0 , (18)where one can write the partial derivative over mbecause the m-dependence of tmand
t′
mdoes not contribute due to (16), (17). Eqs. (17), (16), (18) d efine two instants of
timetm,t′
mat which, respectively, the electron emerges from an atom an d returns back
to it, as well as the number of quanta m=meffabsorbed in course of the ionization.
All these three variables are, generally speaking, the comp lex-valued functions of the
frequency Ω = Nωof the generated harmonic. For a given Nthere can be several
solutions of Eqs. (16), (17), (18).
Integrating over min Eq. (13) by the saddle method gives the following represen ta-
tion for the HHG amplitude

which is the major result of this Section. Comparing (19) wit h (6) one finds, along with
clear similarities, several distinctions. The most substa ntial of them originates from
different physical meaning of the summation index in these fo rmulas. In Eq. (6) it is
an integer labeling channels in the physical ATI spectrum. In contrast, in formula (19)
summation runs over complex-valued meffset. It is natural to say that meffare labels of

from integration over mand depends on the second derivative S′′

The advantage of effective channel representation stems fro m the fact that only small
number of effective channels (actually one or two) contribut es, whereas the number of
essential real ATI channels is quite large, as discussed abo ve. Bearing this in mind it
is worthwhile to illustrate variation of effective channels labels meffwithNby solving
numerically set of equations (17), (16), (18) for some parti cular case [10]. Fig. 1 shows
two important solutions meff(N) that move along trajectories in the complex- mplane
asNvaries. The overall picture comprises a characteristic cro ss-like pattern. For small
Nthe trajectories are close to the real axis and are well separ ated. They approach each
other as Nincreases and almost ”collide” at some particular critical value N=Nc.
For larger N,N > N c, the trajectories start to move almost perpendicular to the real-
maxis and rapidly acquire large imaginary parts. It can be dem onstrated that large
Im(meff) lead to suppression of the HHG process. Therefore the criti calNcmarks the
beginning of the cutoff region for HHG. As shown in Ref. [10], a pproximate analytical
solution of Eqs. (17), (16), (18) shows that the critical val ueNcis equal to
Ncω=|Ea|+ 3.1731Up, (20)
in agreement with the well known result of Refs. [3, 4, 8, 22].
In order to find simple physical interpretation for the effect ive channels, let us note
that Eqs. (16), (17), (18) may be considered as classical equ ations of motion in the laser
field. They define the classical trajectories along which the electron first goes away from
the atom, and then returns back accumulating during this mot ion energy from the laser
field that is necessary for HG. This physical picture agrees w ith the atomic antenna
concept discussed in Section 1. It also comes in line with the Corcum model [2] basedFigure 1: Trajectories of the effective channel labels meff(N) in the complex m-plane for
laser frequency ω= 0.0043a.u., intensity I= 1011W/cm2and varying harmonic order N

respectively by circles and diamonds.
entirely on the classical trajectories. Even more close rel ation can be found with the
approach of Lewenstein et al[8], which uses the saddle point method to integrate over
the momenta pin formula (4).
Eqs. (6) and (19) provide two different ways to describe the at omic antenna concept,
either in terms of real physical channels in the intermediat e ATI spectrum, or by using
the effective channels for the intermediate state. Each appr oach has its advantages
which can be beneficial for different aspects of HHG problem. I mportantly, the above
discussion ensures identity of the two formulas since (19) w as derived directly from (6).
4 Photoionization and recombination
Eq. (6) shows that the process of HHG is intimately related to ionization and LAR.
This fact makes the latter processes very interesting from t he perspective of the atomic
antenna concept, in addition to their well known importance as the basic events in the
laser-matter interaction. This Section describes the rece nt progress in the theory of
these two ”elementary” phenomena. Consider first the multip hoton ionization. Adopt-
ing the Keldysh-type approach which neglects the field of the atomic core in the final
state one can present the amplitude of the ionization in the f ollowing form

Fast variation of the phase of the integrand in (21) allows on e to use the saddle-point
approach for integration over the time t. This approximation, first proposed by Keldysh
[11], was developed in detail in Refs. [12, 13, 14]. Using thi s scheme one presents theFigure 2: Detachment of H−ion in bichromatic field with the frequencies ω= 0.0043

where summation runs over essential saddle points labeled b y subscript µ. Note that
in Eq. (6), relating the ionization problem with HG, it is suffi cient to take into account
the amplitude which arises from only one saddle point (of two ) labeled as µ0; another
saddle point gives the same contribution that produces a fac tor 2.
The technique described above was refined in Refs. [15, 16]. I n the pioneer publi-
cations [11, 12, 13, 14] the momentum pof the ionized electron was treated as a small
quantity, and all essential functions were expanded in powe rs ofp/κ. This approxima-
tion restricted the applicability of the approach, since fo r high channels in ATI spectrum
the momentum is not small. Refs. [15, 16] demonstrated that t he technique can be mod-
ified to include large electron momenta as well. Importantly , this modification retains
simplicity and clear physical nature of the Keldysh approac h.
One can anticipate that the Keldysh-type methods should pro duce reliable results
for photodetachment of negative ions, where the detached el ectron is influenced neg-ligibly by the Coulomb field of the residual atomic particle. Due to this reason the
photodetachment was in the focus of attention of Refs. [15, 1 6] which compared the re-
sults of improved Keldysh approximation with a variety of nu merical and experimental
data available for negative ions. Refs. [17, 18] continued t his study and extended it to
the case of the two-color laser field. Detailed description o f all results obtained in these
works would bring us too far away from the main topic of this pa per. However, it is
important to mention that the overall accuracy of the modifie d Keldysh approximation
proves be very high. It closely reproduces results of other, much more sophisticated
methods for total probabilities of detachment as well as for spectral and angular distri-
butions of photoelectrons both for the weak and strong field r egimes (i.e., for any value
of the Keldysh parameter γ=κω/F ). An example of photodetachment of the H−in
bichromatic laser field with the frequencies ω= 0.0043 a.u. and 3 ωshown in Fig. 2
illustrates this point.
Let us now turn our attention to the other relevant problem, l aser-assisted photo
recombination (LAR). Consider the electron-atom impact in a laser field which results
in creation of a negative ion and HG. Since the system can acqu ire energy from the laser
field due to absorption of several laser quanta, the emitted h armonics should exhibit
the equidistant spectral distribution. Strange enough, th is important process was not
studied theoretically until two recent almost simultaneou s publications [20, 21].
The amplitude of the photorecombination can be written as

in which mis the number of laser photons absorbed during recombinatio n. The wave
function of the electron in the continuum in Eq. (24) can be de scribed by the Volkov
wave function, similarly to the Keldysh-type approach to ph otoionization. Comparing
the amplitudes (24) and (21) one observes their close simila rity. This fact allows one
to develop the theory on the basis of formula (24) along the li nes described above for
the ionization problem. In particular, one can use the saddl e-point approximation for
integration over the time variable in (24).
This approach, suggested in Ref. [20], is supplemented in th e cited paper by sev-
eral numerical examples. One of them, shown in Fig. 3, depict s the cross section of
recombination on hydrogen atom in a laser field with ω= 0.0043 a.u. and the intensity
I= 1011W/cm2versus the energy of the emitted high harmonic. Since this is the first
work in the field we could not compare our results with other ca lculations. Bearing
in mind that the recombination process has similarities wit h the ionization problem,
where similar approach works well one can expect reliable re sults in the recombination
problem as well.Figure 3: Cross section σm(p) for laser-assisted recombination of the electron with the
energy Eel= 10 eV into the bound state in H−ion [20]. The results are shown for the laser
field with the frequency ω= 0.0043 a.u. and the intensity I= 1011W/cm2. The symbols are
joined by lines to help the eye.
5 Quantitative illustrations for HHG
To illustrate the applicability of the two methods, the fact orization technique and the
method of effective channels, consider an example of HHG by hy drogen negative ion
in a laser field with ω= 0.0043 a.u. . Using the factorization procedure one needs
first to calculate the amplitudes of ATI and LAR, which can be d one by the technique
discussed in Sections 4. After that employing (6) one finds th e amplitude of HHG, and
from (11) the HHG rates. The results are presented in Fig. 4.
It is important to note a strong interference of contributio ns coming from differ-
ent intermediate channels m. In the plateau region it is responsible for an oscillatory
pattern, and becomes even more important in the cutoff region , where a contribution
of any single channel drastically exceeds the results of an a ccurate summation over
a large number of channels. In order to apply the technique ba sed on the effective
channels one needs to calculate the ”elementary” amplitude s for the complex-valued
number meffof quanta absorbed on the first step of three-step process. Th is can be
done by the approach described in Section 3, because it relie s on analytical methods
for calculation of these amplitudes that remain valid for a c omplex-valued m. Taking
the effective channels (presented in Fig. 1 for I= 1011W/cm2), calculating for them
the ”elementary” amplitudes and applying formula (19), we fi nd the rates presented
in Fig. 4. If one takes into account in the summation (19) over meffa single effective
channel, shown by diamonds in Fig. 1, then the cutoff region is nicely described, as well
as the overall pattern in the plateau domain. However such on e-saddle-point approxi-
mation does not reproduce structures in the N-dependence of HG rates. Taking into
account the two effective channels, shown by diamonds and cir cles in Fig. 1 improves
the results for the rates in the plateau domain by producing a ppropriate structures in
theN-dependence. Remarkably, this two-saddle-point calculat ion gives correct posi-
tions of minima and maxima in the rate N-dependence, albeit the magnitudes of the
rate variation is reproduced somewhat worse; for instance t he depth of the minimum
atN= 17 is quite strongly overestimated.Figure 4: Harmonic generation rates (11) (in sec−1) for H−ion in the laser field with the
frequency ω= 0.0043 a.u. and various values of intensity Ias indicated in the plots. Closed

Fig. 4 shows good agreement of the approaches based on the fac torization technique
and on the effective channels, which both are in accord with th e results of Ref. [22].
This agreement holds both for multiphoton regime (left part of Fig. 4), as well as in
the tunneling regime (right part of Fig. 4).
6 Above-Threshold Ionization in high channels
The methods discussed in Sections 2, 3 can be applied to a numb er of other multiphoton
problems. To illustrate this point consider the factorizat ion technique for ATI. The
ionization amplitude An(pn) in the Keldysh-type approximation, considered in (21),
neglects interaction of the released electron with the core . LetA(1)
n(pn) be a correction
that takes this interaction into account. In this notation t he total amplitude of ATI
with absorption of nphotons is Atot
n(pn) =An(pn) +A(1)
n(pn). Using the approach of
Ref. [5] we find the following relation
A(1)
n(pn) =/summationdisplay
m/summationdisplay

σ=±1Am(σKm)1
RmµfB(pn, σKm), (26)
which presents the sufficiently complicated correction A(1)
n(pn) in terms of two ”elemen-
tary” amplitudes Am(Km) and fB(p,K). The later one describes the electron-atom
impact in the laser field in the Born approximation. This scat tering can be named
quasielastic, since the atom remains in the same state, but t he electron momentum is
changed K→pboth in direction and absolute value. Summation over µin formula
(26) reflects the fact that the electron emission into the con tinuum takes place at twoFigure 5: Differential above-threshold detachment rates wn(θ). Left - the rates versus the

moments of time tmµ(µ= 1,2) per laser period. The electron return to the atom is
ensured only if the electron momentum is parallel (for one va lue of µ) or antiparallel
(for another µ) to the field, see details in Ref. [5]. This fact is taken into a ccount by a
summation index σ=±1 in (26).
Eq. (26) is obtained via application of the factorization te chnique to ATI. It has
a transparent physical meaning. Ionization with absorptio n ofnphotons needs that
firstmquanta are absorbed by an atom removing the electron from an a tom into the
continuum state with momentum ±Km. The collision of this electron with the atom
(often referred to as rescattering ) results in absorption of additional n−mquanta
and transition of the electron into a state with momentum pn. All intermediate ATI
channels labeled by index mcontribute coherently. This physical picture of ATI agrees
with the atomic antenna concept, as was first discussed in [1] .
We applied (26) to calculation of Above Threshold Detachmen t (ATD) from H−ion.
Fig. 5 shows the results which clearly indicate that the cont ribution of the process (26)
to the angular distributions of ATD spectra is dominating fo r higher ATD channels
while for low channels rescattering effects are small .
7 Eikonal approach to the Coulomb field
The Keldysh-type approximation for laser induced ionizati on, as described in Section
4, discards interaction of receding photoelectrons with th e atomic core. The most
significant part of this interaction arises due to the Coulom b field of the core. That is
why a number of numerical applications considered above is c arried out for negative ions,
where the core is neutral. However, for the multiphoton proc esses with neutral atoms,
the Coulomb forces between the active electron and the resid ual positive ion become
operative. This interaction was taken into account first in R ef. [12] in the quasistaticlimit of the small Keldysh parameter γ=κω/F ≪1. A very simple relation was
obtained between the photoionization rate wCfor the electron bound by a potential
with the Coulomb field produced by a core charge Zand its counterpart wsrfor the
electron with the same binding energy κ2/2 but bound by short range forces:
wC=/parenleftBigg2κ2
F/parenrightBigg2Z/κ
wsr. (27)
This result means that for conventional conditions the pres ence of the Coulomb field
enhances the rates by several orders of magnitude. It is rema rkable that the relation
(27) holds in fact for arbitrary value of the Keldysh paramet er, both in the multiphoton
and tunneling region, as was established in a more elaborate theory by Perelomov and
Popov [14]. This result agrees well with experimental data f or the total rates [23].
The theory of Perelomov and Popov is restricted to ejection o f low-energy electrons.
It is usually anticipated that these electrons give princip al contribution to the total
rates summed over all ATI channels as well as over ejection an gles. The current exper-
iments, however, are able to select an individual ATI channe l even for a large number
of absorbed quanta. Both energy and angular distributions o f these electrons mani-
fest some fascinating features which are the object of inter est in modern experiment
and theory. This fact prompts to develop a theory which, repr oducing the Perelomov-
Popov results for low electron energy, could also describe h igh-energy photoelectrons.
The antenna-type phenomena considered in this paper provid e an additional inspira-
tion for this study. The ionization amplitude in Eqs. (6), (2 6) should be summed over
the number mof quanta absorbed that should be large enough. This makes th e elec-
tron momentum in the intermediate ATI channels to be also lar ge. Therefore we need
to know how the Coulomb field affects the amplitudes for large m omenta. In order
to address this issue we develop the eikonal approach for this problem. It presents a
simplified version of the semiclassical approximation, tha t assumes that the Coulomb
field does not produce significant distortions of classical t rajectories describing electron
propagation in the continuum (i.e., the electron wiggling m otion in the laser field). The
Coulomb field comes into the picture through its contributio n to the action/integraltextt(Z/r)dt
calculated along the classical trajectories discussed. Wi thin the semiclassical approx-
imation the action plays a role of the wave function phase. It is important that the
Coulomb field can produce large contribution to the action wh ile its distortion of the
trajectories can remain unsubstantial Calculating the act ion, one is able to construct
the semiclassical wave function for the released electron, and find with its help the ion-
ization amplitude. If we totally neglect in this scheme the C oulomb field putting Z= 0,
the eikonal wave function simplifies to be the Volkov functio n, and we return to the
Keldysh-type approximation. An important verification of o ur eikonal approach pro-
vides the limit of low photoelectron energy where we reprodu ce the Perelomov-Popov
result (27). Fig. 6 presents a quantitative example which il lustrates importance of the
Coulomb interaction.
8 Conclusions
Atomic antenna gives a clear physical idea how the complicat ed multiphoton processes
are operative. Absorption of large number of quanta from the laser field needs thatFigure 6: Angle-resolved photoionization rates wn(θ) for four lowest open ATI channels

one of the atomic electrons is at first released from an atom. A fter that, propagating
in the core vicinity, the electron accumulates high energy f rom the laser field and,
returning to the atomic core, transfers this energy into oth er channels such as HHG,
ATI or others. Importantly, this physical picture is implem ented in a simple and reliable
formalism. We discussed two convenient ways to present the t heory. One of them,
called the factorization technique, is presented by Eqs. (6 ), (26) for the cases of HHG
and ATI. In this approach the amplitude of a complicated proc ess is expressed via the
physical amplitudes of more simple, ”elementary” processe s. Another scheme, called
the effective channels method, is based on Eq. (19) for HHG. Th e effective channels are
closely related to the classical trajectories, that makes t hem convenient for qualitative,
as well as numerical studies. We demonstrated an equivalenc e of the two approaches.
Applications of both formalisms need calculation of the ”el ementary” amplitudes.
This can be achieved by using the modified Keldysh-type appro ach which very ac-
curately reproduces data for photodetachment, and, hopefu lly, for recombination and
electron-atom scattering in the laser field as well. The Coul omb field of the atomic core
can be taken into account within eikonal approximation. Rel iability of the theoretical
approaches is demonstrated by quantitative applications.References

Abstract
We report the spontaneous formation of a GaP fullerene cage i n ab-initio
Molecular Dynamics simulations starting from a bulk fragme nt. A systematic
study of the geometric and electronic properties of neutral and ionized GaP
clusters suggests the stability of hetero-fullerenes form ed by a compound with
zincblend bulk structure. We find that GaP fullerenes up to 28 atoms have
high symmetry, closed electronic shells, large HOMO-LUMO e nergy gaps and
do not dissociate when ionized. We compare our results for Ga P with those
obtained by other groups for the corresponding BN clusters.

1The discovery of carbon fullerenes and nanotubes [1,2] has o pened a completely new
field at the borderline between chemistry and physics leadin g to many new phenomena and
applications.
Up to now, most efforts to identify fullerenes based on other e lements have focused on
BN which is the most similar to carbon and exists in nature in t he hexagonal(graphite-like)
structure [3–10]. However, the (nested-)cages and wires fo und for this material [3,4] do not
resemble any of the small preferred structures of the carbon fullerene family, particularly
due to the absence of the characteristic pentagonal rings. B esides, nanotubes based on other
layered materials, such as GaSe [11] and black-phosphorus [ 12], have been theoretically pre-
dicted to be stable. On the basis of density functional calcu lations it has also been proposed
that GaN nanotubes could be synthesised by using carbon nano tubes as a nucleation seed
[13].
One intriguing question is whether fullerene cages could be realized in typical semicon-
ductors of the III-V family, like GaAs, InSb or GaP, which do n ot possess a graphite-like
bulk structure. These materials are not considered as good c andidates for hollow structures
sinceπbonding should be less effective in these larger atoms of high er rows of the periodic
table than in the first one [5].
In this letter we show, by means of ab-initio Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics [14], that
a small GaP bulk fragment spontaneously organizes in a cage f ormed by a different number
of atoms of the two elements arranged as in carbon fullerenes . We discuss the geometric
and electronic structure of GaP cages with either the same or a different number of atoms
of the two species. Our results strongly suggest that small G aP fullerenes could be stable,
since they have high symmetry, closed electronic shells, la rge HOMO-LUMO energy gaps
and do not dissociate when ionized. We give quantitative est imates of the relative stability
of cages formed either by hexagons and pentagons as in carbon fullerenes or by hexagons
and squares as proposed for BN [5–9].
Our results are obtained by the Car-Parrinello approach [14 ] using a Density Functional
in the Generalized Gradient Approximation proposed by Beck e and Perdew [15,16]. This
approximation reproduces the experimental cohesive energ y of typical bulk semiconductors
within ≈5% and underestimates the valence to conduction band excita tion energies [17].
We use nonlocal norm-conserving first-principles pseudopo tentials [18] and expand the single
particle wavefunctions on a plane wave basis set with a cut-o ff of 12 Rydberg. We use a
periodically repeated cubic simulation box of 24 ˚A side, so that periodic images are at least
14˚A apart. We have verified that this size is large enough to desc ribe isolated clusters. The
electronic optimization and structural relaxation have be en performed using damped second
order dynamics with electronic mass preconditioning schem e [19,20]. We use throughout an
integration time step of 8 a.u. The symmetry of the equilibri um structure is not biased but it
is reached spontaneously during the geometry optimization starting from the corresponding
regular polyhedron.
The process of formation of the fullerene cage with 28 atoms f rom a larger bulk-like
cluster of 41 atoms (Ga 28P13) is shown in Fig.1, with the help of three snapshots taken
during the structural energy minimization which leads to th e appearance of the Ga 16P12
fullerene cage [21]. The cage has 12 pentagons and 6 hexagons and T dsymmetry as C 28. An
analysis of the charge distribution shows 108 valence elect rons on the bonded cage, exactly
the number which corresponds to the neutral Ga 16P12cluster [22]. Finally in Fig.1d we show
2the equilibrium structure of the neutral Ga 16P12cluster alone.
The observed spontaneous formation of a Ga 16P12cage with pentagons is surprising
since, in the case of BN [5–8], (deformed) squares are found t o be energetically much more
favorable. For B 12N12[6], there is an energy difference of 9 eV between the cage with
pentagons and the one with squares in favor of the latter whic h contains only heteropolar
bonds and is favored for a material composed by atoms with ver y different electronegativity
as B and N. Therefore, most studies have considered cages B nNnformed by hexagons closed
by square rings [5,6,8,9]. Very recently, Fowler et al. [10] have pointed out that, among the
cages with pentagons, those with one species in excess of 4 at oms (B nNn+4) minimize the
number of homopolar bonds. It is remarkable that the cage Ga 16P12which spontaneously
appear in our simulation falls into this class.
We have studied the equilibrium structure and electronic st ates of clusters with 20 and 28
atoms of the type III nVn±4, namely Ga 12P8, Ga 8P12, Ga 16P12and Ga 12P16, and compared
them to clusters with the same number of III and V atoms, namel y Ga 10P10and Ga 12P12,
the latter in the two isomers [6] with hexagons closed either by five- or four-sided faces.
The minimum energy structures of Ga 16P12and Ga 12P16are found to have T dsymmetry,
whereas those of Ga 12P8and Ga 8P12have T hsymmetry. Among the clusters Ga nPn, the
Ga12P12with 4-membered rings belongs to T hwhereas those with pentagons present very
large distortions around the lower C 3vsymmetry. The structural parameters of the cages
belonging either to T hor to T dare given in Table I. Hexagons are found with alternating
angles of 880−1050and 1260−1340, pentagons with angles of 850−920, 1140−1260,∼1000,
∼1100and deformed squares with angles 750and 980. Ga-P distances are in general shorter
than in bulk compounds due to predominant sp2bonding. The radial distance rfrom the
center of the cluster given in Table I indicates a tendency of the anion to occupy positions
at larger distances from the center than the cation, as found for ultrasmall cluster [23,24].
As in the case of carbon and BN fullerenes, the GaP clusters wo uld represent metastable
states with respect to the bulk equilibrium structure. Ther efore only experimental obser-
vation can establish with certainty their existence. Never theless, there are a few quantities
which are used in the literature as indicators of stability. We support our prediction for the
stability of the examined GaP clusters by using the followin g indicators: i) closed electronic
shells and large energy gaps; ii) cohesive energy; iii) ther mal stability; iv) stability of the
ionized clusters.
The first indicator of chemical stability is the energy gap be tween the highest occupied
and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO). I n carbon fullerenes a cor-
relation between this energy and the observed fullerenes ha s been experimentally verified
[25]. In Table II we give the calculated HOMO-LUMO energy gap and the cohesive energy
for all the clusters studied. Among the cages with pentagons the highest energy gaps are
for cluster with P in excess of 4, a composition which has been suggested to be favorable
also for BN [10]. However, a very large gap is also found for th e Ga 12P12with squares.
A comparison of the binding energies per atom between the GaP cages and the zincblend
bulk phase of this material is possible only for the clusters with the same number of Ga and
P atoms. From the results of Table II, we find that the cohesive energies per atom for
Ga12P12with squares, Ga 12P12with pentagons, and Ga 10P10are about 10% lower than in
the bulk. This result is very close to that found for BN and car bon fullerenes of the same
size [5].
3We have studied the thermal stability of two clusters with ve ry different energy gaps,
namely Ga 12P8and Ga 8P12(see Table II). For both clusters we have performed two annea ling
cycles of about 3 ps, up to 1500 K and up to 2000 K. The system is h eated with a rate
of 2×1015K/s, then equilibrated for one ps at the highest temperature , and finally cooled
down with the same temperature change rate. For Ga 8P12no bond breaking or structural
rearrangements occur in both cycles and the structure comes back to the same minimum
energy configuration when the temperature is lowered. This i s also the case for Ga 12P8in
the annealing up to 1500 K, whereas at 2000 K some structural r earrangement takes place
leading to a distorted structure with higher energy when coo led down. These results indicate
that the thermal stability is correlated with the width of th e energy gap.
Mass spectrometry experiments use the difference in mass-to -charge ratio of ionized
atoms or clusters to select them. Therefore one basic requir ement for the possible detection
of such clusters is that they remain stable also when ionized . We have investigated the
stability of some positively ionized clusters, [Ga 8P12]+, [Ga 12P16]+and [Ga 16P12]+. We have
included an uniform charge background in order to have an ove rall neutral system in the
supercell calculation. The electronic structure remains a lmost unaffected and degeneracies
are broken by negligible amounts in the order of hundredths o f eV. Only minor structural
distortions occur upon ionization. In particular, the six e quivalent P-P (Ga-Ga) bond lengths
split into three different classes. Remarkably, during a mol ecular dynamics run for [Ga 8P12]+
we observe a dynamical exchange between these three classes of bond lengths with each other.
This effect produces features in the low frequency vibration al spectrum in the range 30 −120
cm−1which might be detected by infrared multiphoton ionization spectra [26].
It is interesting to compare cages closed either by 4- or 5-me mbered rings. As already
mentioned, such a comparison has been done for B 12N12in Ref. [6]. However there are
no results comparing clusters with equal number of atoms III nVnwith square rings to the
more favorable structures with pentagons of the type III nVn+4. The authors who have
proposed the latter stoichiometry [10], in fact, do not give a comparison to cages with
square rings. Although it is impossible to compare directly the cohesive energy of structures
with a different number of atoms of each species, we are in a pos ition to give an estimate of
the bond energy for the two types of cages. Given the number of each type of bond in all
the structures with pentagons studied so far and the values o f the total cohesive energy, we
estimate by a best fit the following energies per bond: E Ga−P= -2.593 eV, E Ga−Ga=-1.133 eV,
EP−P=-2.349 eV [27]. As shown in Table II, these values yield the c orrect cohesive energy
with a relative error of 0.4% at most for all cluster with pent agons, whereas overestimate
the cohesive energy of the cluster Ga 12P12with squares. In this cluster, in fact, there are
only Ga-P bonds yielding directly E Ga−P=-2.499 eV a smaller value than in the clusters
with pentagons. However, as it can be seen in Table II, it is th e isomer with squares which
has the lowest energy among the two Ga 12P12. The 1.9 eV energy difference between them
is much less than the 9 eV found for B 12N12[6]. This is most probably due to the less ionic
character of the GaP bonds. The difference in electronegativ ity of Ga and P is in fact ∼0.4
against ∼1 for BN. The observed spontaneous formation in our simulati ons of a cage with
the same topology of C 28shows a possible evolution pattern from ionized bulk fragme nts to
classical fullerene cages formed by pentagons and hexagons .
In summary, we have shown, by means of ab-initio Car-Parrine llo Molecular Dynamics,
that small GaP fullerenes have highly symmetric structures , closed electronic shells and large
4HOMO-LUMO gaps and cohesive energy. These clusters are ther mally stable and remain in
the same structure also when ionized. These findings togethe r with the observed spontaneous
formation in our simulations of a 28 atoms cage with the same s ymmetry of C 28support
the possible existence of GaP fullerenes. We hope that our wo rk will stimulate experimental
groups to widen their search for hetero-fullerenes also to I II-V compound semiconductors.

New optical arrangements with two single-mode input fibers a nd a fiber-optic coupler are devised
to measure the instantaneous velocity difference and local v elocity. The fibers and the coupler are
polarization-preserving to guarantee a high signal-to-no ise ratio. When the two input fibers are
used to collect the scattered light with the same momentum tr ansfer vector but from two spatially
separated regions in a flow, the obtained signals interfere w hen combined via the fiber-optic coupler.
The resultant light received by a photomultiplier tube cont ains a cross-beat frequency proportional to
the velocity difference between the two measuring points. If the two input fibers are used to collect
the scattered light from a common scattering region but with two different momentum transfer
vectors, the resultant light then contains a self-beat freq uency proportional to the local velocity at
the measuring point. The experiment shows that both the cros s-beat and self-beat signals are large
and the standard laser Doppler signal processor can be used t o measure the velocity difference and
local velocity in real time. The new technique will have vari ous applications in the general area of
fluid dynamics.

I. INTRODUCTION
Measurements of the velocity difference or the relative
velocity, δv(ℓ) =v(x+ℓ)−v(x), between two spatial
points separated by a distance ℓhave important appli-
cations in fluid dynamics. For example, in the study of
turbulent flows one is interested in the scaling behavior
ofδv(ℓ) over varying distance ℓ, when ℓis in the in-
ertial range, in which the kinetic energy cascades at a
constant rate without dissipation. [1,2] If the separation
ℓis smaller than the Kolmogorov dissipation length, [1,2]
the measured δv(ℓ) becomes proportional to the velocity
gradient ∂v/∂r ≃δv(ℓ)/ℓ(assuming ℓis known), a useful
quantity which is needed to determine the energy dissi-
pation and flow vorticity. In many experimental studies
of fluid turbulence, one measures the local velocity as
a function of time and then uses Taylor’s frozen turbu-
lence assumption to convert the measured temporal vari-
ations into the spatial fluctuations of the velocity field.
[3] The frozen turbulence assumption is valid only when
the mean velocity becomes much larger than the velocity
fluctuations. For isotropic turbulent flows with a small
mean velocity, direct measurement of δv(ℓ) is needed.Over the past several years, the present authors and
their collaborators have exploited the technique of ho-
modyne photon correlation spectroscopy (HPCS) to mea-
sureδv(ℓ). [4,5] With the HPCS scheme, small particles
seeded in a flowing fluid are used to scatter the inci-
dent laser light. The scattered light intensity I(t), which
fluctuates because of the motion of the seed particles,
contains Doppler beat frequencies of all particle pairs in
the scattering volume. For each particle pair separated
by a distance ℓ(along the beam propagation direction),
their beat frequency is ∆ ω2=q·δv(ℓ), where qis the
momentum transfer vector. The magnitude of qis given
byq= (4πn/λ)sin(θ/2), where θis the scattering angle,
nis the refractive index of the fluid, and λis the wave-
length of the incident light. Experimentally, the Doppler
beat frequency ∆ ω2is measured by the intensity auto-
correlation function, [6]
g(τ) =/angb∇acketleftI(t+τ)I(t)/angb∇acket∇ight
/angb∇acketleftI(t)/angb∇acket∇ight2= 1 + bG(τ), (1)
where b(≤1) is an instrumental constant and henceforth
we set b= 1. The angle brackets represent a time average
overt.
1It has been shown that G(τ) in Eq. (1) has the form
[7]
G(τ) =/integraldisplayL
0dr h(r)/integraldisplay+∞
−∞dδv P (δv, r)cos(qδvτ),(2)
where δvis the component of δvin the direction of
q,P(δv, r) is the probability density function (PDF) of
δv(r), and h(r)dris the number fraction of particle pairs
with separation rin the scattering volume. Equation
(2) states that the light scattered by each pair of par-
ticles contributes a phase factor cos( qτδv) (because of
the Doppler beat) to the correlation function G(τ), and
G(τ) is an incoherent sum of these ensemble averaged
phase factors over all the particle pairs in the scattering
volume. In many previous experiments, [7–10] the length
Lof the scattering volume viewed by a photodetector was
controlled by the width Sof a slit in the collecting optics.
While it is indeed a powerful tool for the study of tur-
bulent flows, the HPCS technique has two limitations
in its collecting optics and signal processing. First, a
weighted average over ris required for G(τ) because the
photodetector receives light from particle pairs having a
range of separations (0 < r < L ). As a result, the mea-
sured G(τ) contains information about δv(ℓ) over various
length scales up to L. With the single slit arrangement,
the range of Lwhich can be varied in the experiment is
limited. The lower cut-off for Lis controlled by the laser
beam radius σ. The upper cut-off for Lis determined by
the coherence distance (or coherence area) at the detect-
ing surface of the photo-detector, over which the scat-
tered electric fields are strongly correlated in space. [6]
When the slit width Sbecomes too large, the photode-
tector sees many temporally fluctuating speckles (or co-
herence areas), and consequently fluctuations in the scat-
tered intensity I(t) will be averaged out over the range
ofq-values spanned by the detecting area.
Recently, we made a new optical arrangement for
HPCS, with which the weighted average over rin Eq.
(2) is no longer needed and the upper limit for Lcan be
extended to the coherence length of the laser. In the ex-
periment, [5] two single mode, polarization-maintaining
(PM) fibers are used to collect light with the same po-
larization and momentum transfer vector qbut from two
spatially separated regions in a flow. These regions are
illuminated by a single coherent laser beam, so that the
collected signals interfere when combined using a fiber-
optic coupler, before being directed to a photodetector.
With this arrangement, the measured G(τ) becomes pro-
portional to the Fourier cosine transform of the PDF
P(δv, r).
The second limitation of HPCS is related to signal pro-
cessing. The correlation method is very effective in pick-
ing up small fluctuating signals, but the resulting corre-
lation function G(τ) is a time-averaged quantity. There-
fore, the correlation method is not applicable to unstable
flows. Furthermore, information about the odd moments
ofP(δv, r) is lost, because the measured G(τ) is a Fouriercosine transform of P(δv, r).
In this paper, we present a further improvement for
HPCS, which is free of the two limitations discussed
above. By combining the new fiber-optic method with
the laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) electronics, we are
able to measure the instantaneous velocity difference
δv(ℓ, t) and local velocity v(x, t) at a high sampling rate.
With this technique, the statistics of δv(ℓ, t) andv(x, t)
are obtained directly from the time series data. The
new method of measuring v(x, t) offers several advan-
tages over the standard LDV. The remainder of the paper
is organized as follows. In Section 2 we describe the ex-
perimental methods and setup. Experimental results are
presented and analyzed in Section 3. Finally, the work is
summarized in Section 4.
II. EXPERIMENTAL METHODS
A. Measurement of the velocity difference
Figure 1 shows the optical arrangement and the flow
cells used in the experiment. A similar setup has been
described elsewhere, [5] and here we mention only some
key points.

vector; and q=ks−ki. (b) Experimental setup for the ve-
locity difference measurement in rigid body rotation. (c) Fl ow
cell and optical arrangement for a jet flow.
As shown in Fig. 1(b), an incident beam from a
Nd:YVO 4laser with a power range of 0.5-2W and a wave-
length of λ=532 nm is directed to a flow cell by a lens.
With the aid of a large beam splitting cube, two single-
mode, polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers collect the
scattered light from two different spots along the laser
beam with a separation L. The two PM fibers are con-
nected to a fiber-optic coupler (purchased from OZ Op-
2tics [11]), which combines the light from the two input
fibers and split the resultant light evenly into two output
fibers. A graded index lens is placed at each end of the
fiber to collimate the light entering (or exiting from) the
fiber core. Each input fiber is mounted on a micrometer-
controlled translation stage and the distance Lcan be
adjusted in a range of 0-25 mm in steps of 0.01 mm. The
output fibers of the optical coupler are connected to two
photomultiplier tubes (PMT1 and PMT2). PMT1 is op-
erated in the digital mode and its output signal is fed to a
digital correlator (ALV-5000). PMT2 is operated in the
analogue mode and its output signal is fed to a LDV sig-
nal processor (TSI IFA655). An oscilloscope connected
to PMT2 directly views the analogue signals. A low-noise
preamplifier (Stanford Research SR560) further amplifies
the analogue output of PMT2 before it goes to the LDV
signal processor.
As shown in Fig. 1(a), the electric fields detected by
each input fiber sum in the coupler and consequently in-
terfere. In the experiment, we obtain the beat frequency,
∆ω2=q·v1−q·v2=q·δv(L), in two different ways. One
way is to measure the intensity auto-correlation function
g(τ) in Eq. (1). With the ALV correlator, it takes ∼1
minute to collect the data with an adequate signal-to-
noise ratio. The other way is to use the LDV signal pro-
cessor to measure the instantaneous beat frequency ∆ ω2,
giving velocity differences in real time. The LDV signal
processor is essentially a very fast correlator and thus re-
quires the beat signal to be large enough so that no signal
averaging is needed. In the experiment to be discussed
below, we use both methods to analyze the beat signals
and compare the results.
It has been shown that the correlation function g(τ)
has the form: [5]
g(τ) = 1 +I2
1+I2
2
(I1+I2)2Gs(τ) +2I1I2
(I1+I2)2Gc(τ)
= 1 + bsGs(τ) +bcGc(τ), (3)
where I1andI2are the light intensities from the two
input fibers. When I1=I2, one finds bs=bc= 0.5.
If one of the input fibers is blocked (i.e., I2= 0), we
haveg(τ) = 1 + Gs(τ), where Gs(τ) is the self-beat cor-
relation function for a single fiber. When the separation
L between the two input fibers is much larger than the
spot size viewed by each fiber, the cross-beat correlation
function Gc(τ) takes the form
Gc(τ)≃Gs(τ)/integraldisplay+∞
−∞dδv P (δv)cos(qδv(L)τ).(4)
Two flow cells are used in the experiment. The first
one is a cylindrical cuvette having an inner diameter of
2.45 cm and a height of 5 cm. The cuvette is top mounted
on a geared motor, which produces smooth rotation with
an angular velocity ω= 2.5rad/s. The cell is filled with
1,2-propylene glycol, whose viscosity is 40 times larger
than that of water. The whole cell is immersed in a largesquare index-matching vat, which is also filled with 1,2-
propylene glycol. The flow field inside the cell is a simple
rigid body rotation. With the scattering geometry shown
in Fig. 1(b), the beat frequency is given by ∆ ω2=ksωL
withks= 2πn/λ. The sample cell is seeded with a small
amount of polystyrene latex spheres. For the correla-
tion measurements, we use small seed particles of 1 .0µm
in diameter. By using the small seed particles, one can
have more particles in the scattering volume even at low
seeding densities. This will reduce the amplitude of the
number fluctuations caused by a change in the number of
particles in each scattering volume. The particle number
fluctuations can produce incoherent amplitude fluctua-
tions to the scattered light and thus introduce an extra
(additive) decay to g(τ). [16] Large particles 4 .75µmin
diameter are used to produce higher scattering intensity
for instantaneous Doppler burst detection. Because the
densities of the latex particles and the fluid are closely
matched, the particles follow the local flow well and they
do not settle much.
The second flow cell shown in Fig. 1(c) is used to gen-
erate a jet flow in a 9 cm×9cmsquare vat filled with
quiescent water. The circular nozzle has an outlet 2 mm
in diameter and the tube diameter before the contraction
is 5.5 mm. The nozzle is immersed in the square vat and
a small pump is used to generate a jet flow at a constant
flow rate 0 .39cm3/s. The mean velocity at the nozzle
exit is 12 .4cm/s and the corresponding Reynolds num-
ber is Re=248. This value of Re is approximately three
times larger than the turbulent transition Reynolds num-
ber,Rec≃80, for a round jet. [12] Because of the large
area contraction (7.6:1), the bulk part of the velocity pro-
file at the nozzle exit is flat. This uniform velocity pro-
file vanishes quickly, and a Gaussian-like velocity profile
is developed in the downstream region, 2-20 diameters
away from the nozzle exit. [13] As shown in Fig. 1(c),
the direction of the momentum transfer vector q(and
hence the measured velocity difference) is parallel to the
jet flow direction, but the separation L is at an angle of
45oto that direction.
B. Measurement of the local velocity
In the measurement of the velocity difference, we use
two input fibers to collect the scattered light with the
sameq(i.e. at the same scattering angle) but from two
spatially separated regions in the flow. We now show
that with a different optical arrangement, the fiber-optic
method can also be used to measure the instantaneous
local velocity v(x, t). Instead of collecting light from two
spatially separated regions with the same q, we use the
two input fibers to collect light from a common scatter-
ing volume in the flow but with two different momentum
transfer vectors q1andq2(i.e. at two different scatter-
ing angles). Figure 2(a) shows the schematic diagram
of the scattering geometry. The collected signals at the
3two scattering angles are combined by a fiber-optic cou-
pler, and the resultant light is modulated at the Doppler
beat frequency: [14] ∆ ω1=q1·v−q2·v= ∆q·v(x),
where ∆ q=q1−q2. The magnitude of ∆ qis given
by ∆q= (4πn/λ)sin(α/2), with αbeing the acceptance
angle between the two fibers.
The principle of using the scattered light at two dif-
ferent scattering angles to measure the local velocity has
been demonstrated many years ago. [14] What is new
here is the use of the fiber-optic coupler for optical mix-
ing. The fiber-optic technique simplifies the standard
LDV optics considerably. As shown in Fig. 2(b), in the
standard LDV arrangement the two incident laser beams
form interference fringes at the focal point. When a seed
particle traverses the focal region, the light scattered by
the particle is modulated by the interference fringes with
a frequency, [15] ∆ ω1=q1·v−q2·v= ∆q·v(x).
The magnitude of ∆ qhas the same expression ∆ q=
(4πn/λ)sin(α/2) as shown in the above, but αnow be-
comes the angle between the two incident laser beams.
The main difference between the standard LDV and the
new fiber-optic method is that the former employs two
incident laser beams and a receiving fiber [Fig. 2(b)],
while the latter uses only one incident laser beam and
two optical fibers to measure each velocity component
[Fig. 2(a)]. Consequently, the beat frequency ∆ ω1in
Fig. 2(a) is independent of the direction ( ki) of the inci-
dent laser beam, whereas in Fig. 2(b) it is independent
of the direction ( ks) of the receiving fiber.

locity measurement. ki, incident wave vector; ( ks)1and (ks)2,

one-beam probe for the local velocity measurement. S, mea-
suring point; P, lens; M, frequency modulator; C, fiber-opti c
coupler.
With the one-beam scheme, one can design various op-
tical probes for the local velocity measurement. Figure2(c) shows an example, which would replace the commer-
cial LDV probe by reversing the roles of the transmitter
and receiver. The two input fibers aim at the same mea-
suring point S through a lens P, which also collects the
back-scattered light from S. The frequency modulator M
shifts the frequency of the light collected by the input
fiber 1, before it is combined via the fiber-optic coupler
C with the light collected by the input fiber 2. The re-
sultant light from an output fiber of the coupler contains
the beat frequency ∆ ω1and is fed to a photodetector.
Because the measured ∆ ω1is always a positive number,
one cannot tell the sign of the local velocity when zero
velocity corresponds to a zero beat frequency. The fre-
quency shift by the modulator M causes the interference
fringes to move in one direction (normal to the fringes)
and thus introduces an extra shift frequency to the mea-
sured beat frequency. This allows us to measure very
small velocities and to determine the sign of the mea-
sured local velocity relative to the direction of the fringe
motion (which is known). [15] The other output fiber of
the coupler can be used as an alignment fiber, when it is
connected to a small He-Ne laser. With the reversed He-
Ne light coming out of the input fibers, one can directly
observe the scattering volume viewed by each input fiber
and align the fibers in such a way that only the scattered
light from the same measuring point S is collected.
The one-beam probe has several advantages over the
usual two-beam probes. To measure two orthogonal ve-
locity components in the plane perpendicular to the in-
cident laser beam, one only needs to add an extra pair of
optical fibers and a coupler and arrange them in the plane
perpendicular to that shown in Fig. 2(c) (i.e., rotate the
two-fiber plane shown in Fig. 2(c) by 90o). With this
arrangement, the four input fibers collect the scattered
light from the same scattering volume but in two orthog-
onal scattering planes. Because only one laser beam is
needed for optical mixing, a small single-frequency diode
laser, rather than a large argon ion laser, is sufficient for
the coherent light source. In addition, the one-beam ar-
rangement does not need any optics for color and beam
separations and thus can reduce the manufacturing cost
considerably. With the one-beam scheme, one can make
small invasive or non-invasive probes consisting of only
three thin fibers. One can also make a self-sustained
probe containing all necessary optical fibers, couplers,
photodetectors, and a signle-frequency diode laser.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Velocity difference measurements
We first discuss the measurements of the velocity dif-
ference in rigid body rotation. Figure 3(a) shows a sam-
ple oscilloscope trace of the analogue output from PMT2
when the separation L=1.0 mm. The signal is amplified
1250 times and band-pass-filtered with a frequency range
4of 1-10 kHz. This oscilloscope trace strongly resembles
the burst signals in the standard LDV. The only differ-
ence is that the signal shown in Fig. 3(a) results from the
beating of two moving particles separated by a distance
L. Figure 3(a) thus demonstrates that the beat signal
between the two moving particles is large enough that a
standard LDV signal processor can be used to measure
the instantaneous velocity difference δv(ℓ, t) in real time.
Figure 3(b) shows the measured beat frequency ∆ ω2
as a function of separation L. The circles are obtained
from the oscilloscope trace and the triangles are obtained
from the intensity correlation function g(τ). The two
measurements agree well with each other. The solid
line is the linear fit ∆ ω2= 41.78L(103rad/s), which
is in good agreement with the theoretical calculation
∆ω2=ksωL= 42.28L(103rad/s). This result also
agrees with the previous measurements by Du et al. [5]
Because ∆ ω2increases with L, one needs to increase the
laser intensity at large values of L in order to resolve ∆ ω2.
The average photon count rate should be at least twice
the measured beat frequency.
FIG. 3. (a) Oscilloscope trace of a typical beat burst be-
tween two moving particles separated by a distance L=1.0
mm. The signal is obtained in rigid body rotation. (b) Mea-
sured beat frequency ∆ ω2as a function of separation L. The
circles are obtained from the oscilloscope trace and the tri an-
gles are obtained from the intensity correlation function g(τ).
The solid line shows a linear fit to the data points.
We now discuss the time series measurements of
δv(L, t) in a jet flow using the LDV signal processor. The
jet flow has significant velocity fluctuations as compared
with the laminar rigid body rotation. The measuring
point is in the developing region of the jet flow, 3 di-
ameters away from the nozzle exit and is slightly off the
centerline of the jet flow. Figure 4 shows the measured
histogram P(δv) of the velocity difference δv(L, t) in the
jet flow, when the separation L is fixed at L=0.5 mm (cir-
cles) and L=0.8 mm (squares), respectively. It is seen
that the measured P(δv) has a dominant peak and its
position changes with L. Because δv(L, t) increases with
L, the peak position moves to the right for the largervalue of L. The solid curve in Fig. 4 is a Gaussian fit
to the data points with L=0.5 mm. The obtained mean
value of δv(L, t) is/angb∇acketleftδv/angb∇acket∇ight= 1.87cm/s and the standard
deviation σ= 0.171cm/s. At L=0.8 mm, the measured
P(δv) peaks at the value /angb∇acketleftδv/angb∇acket∇ight= 2.73cm/s.
FIG. 4. Measured histogram P(δv) of the velocity differ-
enceδv(L, t) in the jet flow. The values of L are: L=0.5 mm
(circles) and 0.8 mm (squares). The solid curve is a Gaussian
fit to the circles.
In the above discussion, we have assumed that each
input fiber sees only one particle at a given time and
the beat signal comes from two moving particles sepa-
rated by a distance L. In fact, when the seeding density
is high, each input fiber may see more than one parti-
cle at a given time. The scattered light from these par-
ticles can also beat and generate a self-beat frequency
proportional to δv(ℓ0), where ℓ0≃0.15mmis the laser
spot size viewed by each input fiber. [5] The self-beating
gives rise to a small peak on the left side of the measured
P(δv). Note that the peak position is independent of
L, because δv(ℓ0) is determined only by ℓ0, which is the
same for both measurements. It is seen from Fig. 4 that
the cross-beating is dominant over the self-beating under
the current experimental condition.
The intensity correlation function g(τ) is also used to
analyze the beat signal. In the experiment, we measure
the histogram P(δv) and g(τ) simultaneously, so that
Eq. (4) can be examined in details. Figure 5 shows the
measured g(τ)−1 (circles) as a function of delay time τ
at L=0.5 mm. The squares are the self-beat correlation
function Gs(τ) obtained when one of the input fibers is
blocked. As shown in Fig. 4, the measured P(δv) has a
Gaussian form and thus the integration in Eq. (4) can
be carried out. The final form of g(τ) becomes
g(τ) = 1 + Gs(τ)/bracketleftBig
bs+bccos[q/angb∇acketleftδv/angb∇acket∇ightτ]e−(qστ)2/2/bracketrightBig
.(5)
The solid curve in Fig. 5 is a plot of Eq. (5) with bs= 0.5
andbc= 0.13. The values of /angb∇acketleftδv/angb∇acket∇ightandσused in the plot
are obtained from the Gaussian fit shown in Fig. 4. It is
seen that the calculation is in good agreement with the
5measured g(τ).
The fitted value bs= 0.5 agrees with the expected
value at I1=I2. The value of bcwould be 0.5 if the
collected signals from the two input fibers were fully co-
herent and the fiber-optic coupler mixed them perfectly.
The fact that the fitted value of bcis smaller than 0.5
indicates that the collected signals are not fully corre-
lated. This is caused partially by the fact that in the
present experiment the scattered light suffers relatively
large number fluctuations resulting from a changing num-
ber of particles in the scattering volume. These number
fluctuations produce incoherent amplitude fluctuations
to the scattered light and thus introduce an extra (addi-
tive) decay to g(τ). [16] Because the beam crossing time
(proportional to the beam diameter) is much longer than
the Doppler beat time 1 /∆ω2(proportional to the wave-
length of the scattered light), the slow decay due to the
number fluctuations can be readily identified in the mea-
sured g(τ). This decay has an amplitude 0.4 and has
been subtracted out from the measured g(τ) shown in
Fig. 5.
FIG. 5. Measured intensity correlation function g(τ)−1 as
a function of delay time τat L=0.5 mm (open circles). The
squares are obtained when one of the input fibers is blocked.
The solid curve is a plot of Eq. (5).
It is shown in Eq. (5) that to accurately measure
the mean velocity difference /angb∇acketleftδv/angb∇acket∇ight, the beat frequency
∆ω2=q/angb∇acketleftδv/angb∇acket∇ightmust be larger than the decay rate Γ s≃
qδv(ℓ0) for Gs(τ) and also larger than the decay rate
Γc≃qσresulting from the fluctuations of the velocity
difference. From the measurements shown in Figs. 4 and
5, we find Γ s≃1.33×105s−1and Γ c≃3.8×104s−1,
which are indeed smaller than the beat frequency ∆ ω2≃
4.15×105s−1. Because g(τ) contains a product of Gs(τ)
and exp[ −(qστ)2/2] [see Eq. (5)], its decay is determined
by the faster decaying function. It is seen from Fig. 5
that the decay of g(τ) is controlled by Gs(τ), which de-
cays faster than exp[ −(qστ)2/2]. It should be noted that
in the measurements shown in Fig. 4, the beat signals
are analogue ones and we have used a band-pass filter
together with a LDV signal analyzer to resolve the beatfrequency. Consequently, many low-frequency self-beat
signals are filtered out. This low-frequency cut-off is ap-
parent in Fig. 4. The measurements of g(τ), on the other
hand, are carried out in the photon counting mode, and
therefore the measured g(τ) is sensitive to all the self-
beat signals as well as the cross beat signals. With a
simple counting of particle pairs, we find that the proba-
bility for cross beating is only twice larger than that for
the self-beating.
B. Local velocity measurements
We now discuss the local velocity measurements using
the new optical arrangement shown in Fig. 2(a). The ve-
locity measurements are conducted on a freely suspended
flowing soap film driven by gravity. Details about the ap-
paratus has been described elsewhere, [17–19] and here
we mention only some key points. 2% solution of deter-
gent and water is introduced at a constant rate between
two long vertical nylon wires, which are held apart by
small hooks. The width of the channel (i.e., the distance
between the two nylon wires) is 6.2 cm over a distance of
120 cm. The measuring point is midway between the ver-
tical wires. The soap solution is fed, through a valve, onto
an apex at the top of the channel. The film speed ¯ v, rang-
ing from 0.5 to 3 m/s, can be adjusted using the valve.
The soap film is approximately 2-6 µmin thickness and
is seeded with micron-sized latex particles, which scatter
light from a collimated laser beam. The light source is an
argon-ion laser having a total power of 1W. The incident
laser beam is oriented perpendicular to the soap film and
the scattered light is collected in the forward direction.
FIG. 6. Measured intensity autocorrelation function A(τ)
as a function of delay time τwith the measuring time T=30
ms. The inset (a) shows an enlarged portion of A(τ) for small
values of τup to τ= 20µs. The inset (b) shows the frequency
power spectrum P(f) of the measured A(τ).
To measure the rapidly changing beat frequency ∆ ω1,
we build a fast digital correlator board for PC. [20]
With a fast sampling rate fs, the plug-in correlator
6board records the time-varying intensity I(t) (number
of TTL pulses from the photomultiplier tube per sam-
ple time) over a short period of time T and then calcu-
lates the (unnormalized) intensity autocorrelation func-
tion,A(τ) =/angb∇acketleftI(t+τ)I(t)/angb∇acket∇ight. Figure 6 shows an example
of the measured A(τ) as a function of delay time τwith
T = 30 ms and fs= 14.32 MHz. Because the burst sig-
nal I(t) is a periodic function of t, the measured A(τ)
becomes an oscillatory function of τ. The frequency of
the oscillation apparent in the inset (a) is the beat fre-
quency ∆ ω1. The amplitude of the oscillation decays at
largeτ. The inset (b) shows the power spectrum P(f) of
the measured A(τ); it reveals a dominant peak at 755.1
kHz. The power spectrum is obtained using a fast Fourier
transform (FFT) program. [21]
FIG. 7. Measured intensity autocorrelation function A(τ)
as a function of delay time τwith the measuring time T=50
µs. The inset (a) shows the frequency power spectrum P(f)
obtained by FFT. The inset (b) shows the frequency spectrum
Q(f) obtained by the Scargle-Lomb method.
To increase the sampling rate of the velocity measure-
ments, one needs to keep the measuring time T for each
A(τ) as short as possible. The signal-to-noise ratio for
A(τ) decreases with shorter measuring time T and with
lower mean photon count rate, which was ∼1 MHz in the
present experiment. It is found that the shortest useful
measuring time Tcis roughly 50 µs. For this value of T,
A(τ) is quite noisy and the corresponding peak in P(f)
becomes less pronounced [see Fig. 7 and inset (a)]. It
is worth mentioning that if one only wants to know the
periodicity of a function, rather than its actual power at
different frequencies, the Scargle-Lomb method [22] is a
better alternative to FFT. This method, which does not
require evenly spaced sampling, compares the measured
data with known periodic signals using the least-square
fitting procedure and determines the relevant frequencies
by the goodness of the fit Q(f). It can even utilize the un-
even sampling to further increase the Nyquist frequency.
As shown in Fig. 7(b), the Scargle-Lomb method can
still clearly identify the periodicity of the signal, even
when the power spectrum P(f) [Fig. 7(a)] becomes lessreliable. The total time required for the measurement of
the characteristic frequency is less than 1 ms. Using the
correlator board together with an average speed PC (300
MHz), we are able to conduct accurate measurements of
the local velocity with a sampling rate up to 1 kHz.
IV. SUMMARY
We have developed new optical arrangements with two
single-mode input fibers and a fiber-optic coupler to mea-
sure the local velocity v(x) and the velocity difference,
δv(ℓ) =v(x+ℓ)−v(x), between two spatial points sepa-
rated by a distance ℓ. The fibers and the coupler are po-
larization preserving to guarantee a high signal-to-noise
ratio. To measure the velocity difference δv(ℓ), the two
input fibers are used to collect the scattered light with
the same momentum transfer vector qbut from two spa-
tially separated regions in a flow. These regions are il-
luminated by a single coherent laser beam, so that the
collected signals interfere when combined via the fiber-
optic coupler. The resultant light received by a pho-
tomultiplier tube therefore contains the beat frequency
∆ω2=q·δv(ℓ). We analyzed the beat signals using two
different devices and compared the results. First, the in-
tensity auto-correlation function g(τ) was measured us-
ing a digital correlator. Secondly, a standard LDV signal
processor was used to determine the instantaneous beat
frequency ∆ ω2. With this device, δv(ℓ,t) can be ob-
tained in real time. The technique can be further devel-
oped to measure one component of the local flow vorticity
vector /vector ω(x, t) =∇ ×v(x, t). [23]
To measure the instantaneous local velocity itself, one
needs only to reorient the two fibers so that they point to
the same scattering volume. With this optical arrange-
ment, we have three alternatives to measure a velocity
component. They employ (i) an analog photodetector
and a standard LDV signal processor (burst detector),
(ii) a commercial photon correlator, such as that made
by ALV, and finally (iii) a home-made digital correlator.
This latter device completes a velocity measurement in
less than 1 ms and is orders of magnitude cheaper than
the other two alternatives. The new fiber-optic method
has several advantages over the standard LDV and can
be used widely in the general area of fluid dynamics. Be-
cause only one laser beam is needed to obtain two veloc-
ity components, a compact single-frequency diode laser
can replace a large multi-frequency argon-ion laser. By
eliminating the color and beam separation units in the
standard LDV, the one-beam scheme is less costly to im-
plement. With more optical fiber pairs and couplers, one
can carry out multi-point and multi-component velocity
measurements in various turbulent flows.

AbstractA solution to the part and whole problem is presented in this paper by using a complex mathematicalrepresentation that permits to define the Holon concept as a unit that remains itself in spite of complexoperations such as integration and derivation. This can be done because of the remarkable isomorphicproperty of Euler Relation. We can then define a domain independent of the observer and the object, aswithin it, the object is embedded. We will then be able to have a Quantum Mechanics solution withoutthe "observer drawback", as Karl R. Popper tried to find all his life but from the philosophical point ofview and which was Einstein main concern about QM too. A unit that has always similar or identicalstructure or form, despite even complex operations such as integration and derivation, is the ideal unit forthe new sciences of complexity or just the systems sciences too, where structure or form, wholeness,organization, and complexity are main requirements. A table for validating the results obtained ispresented in case of the pendulum formula.
Complex Numbers and Isomorphic Units
In his General System Theory , Ludwig von Bertalanffy wrote:
Reality, in the modern conception, appears as a tremendous hierarchical order of organized entities,leading, in a superposition of many levels, from the physical and chemical to biological and sociologicalsystems. Unity of Science is granted, not by a utopian reduction of all sciences to physics and chemistry,but by the structural uniformities of the different levels of reality.Those structural uniformities or isomorphisms in different levels of reality are the main concern of thispaper, and its main aim will be to present a new way of "seeing" reality by means of some isomorphic
units, or co-variant units , so to speak, units in which the form is one important attribute as well. A basic
recurrent design or pattern that can be used to interpret and explain those problems where dynamicinteractions or an organized complexity appear.But the problem of form appeared in classical physics too but precisely in those fields where the field
concept was unavoidable. The magnetic field problem, whose existence can even be felt by putting two
permanent magnets near by, is really one of those problems of nature that after all were hiding a greatmystery. With the magnet we can not only present theoretical examples of those three basic fundamentalattributes that are the basic to an isomorphic unit, but the magnetic field to be well represented, from themathematical point of view, we must also use a complex number mathematical symbolism.Those three basic attributes are: wholeness, oneness and openness.The wholeness attribute can be seen easily in the case of a magnet, where each magnet split from anothermagnet is precisely a whole new magnet. This new "part" that came from an old whole is a whole too .The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
1 of 31To obtain a whole from another whole is like to obtain a son from a father, or an object from theinstanciation of a class and in this same sense Ken Wilber wrote To be a part of a larger whole means
that the whole supplies a principle(or some sort of glue) not found in the isolated parts alone, and thisprinciple allows the parts to join, to link together, to have something in common, to be connected, inways that they simply could not be on their own...When it is said that "the whole is greater than the sumof its parts," the "greater" means "hierarchy"...This is why "hierarchy" and "wholeness·" are oftenuttered in the same sentenceBut associated with this wholeness attribute is that binary or dual aspect of reality, where we have alwaystwo "opposites" or more appropriately, complementary or polar entities within a comprehensive whole,or just a unit that transcends duality, the oneness attribute, that can be found physically in a magnet. Thewithin and the without some sort of dynamic structure embedded in a unit that cannot be split in its twocomponents. Structures that perform well in a changing environment must be capable to reflect thewithout, they must have, as it were, a storing capacity to reflect that without.
But the magnet has also another remarkable attribute associated with form, with the environment orinterface or some sort of a medium to separate an internal milieu from an external environment, as itwere, a field concept, or the openness attribute. At this point is important to recall that these threeattributes cannot be considered on their own. They are linked together by some sort of glue. This is themain characteristic of this new way of "seeing" reality in which we must always have in mind thatglueing principle, we will name the Principle of Synergy. But at this point of reasoning we are taken tothink in open systems, as those systems capable of exchanging with the environment.
Prejudices normally come from ways of "seeing" reality that had generated by themselves some sort ofsecure stance in one of those realms. Facts, data or immediate experiences can be obtained in all thosethree realms, of science, philosophy and ontology and in every one of those realms we find in fact anactual practice, some sort of methodology to obtain facts. But the data obtained in every case is limitedby the language used and with objects of study that are obtained. Those that practice philosophy orontology normally have a great prejudice against a mathematical language, which is some sort oflanguage that permits the practicians to avoid any ambiguity, by obtaining with it precise definitions. Buton the other side those that practice philosophy and ontology were always right in the sense that alanguage whose main aim were to avoid any ambiguity or uncertainty was not a good language tointerpret reality after all. That ambiguity or uncertainty can be found there where we find those threeattributes, that has to do with open systems and in general with dynamism or generation of forms:wholeness, oneness and openness.For representing mathematically such kind of problems, it is necessary to use a language that permits todefine a unit embedded in a comprehensive whole, environment or dynamic structure, and which caninclude also a radical duality or polarity, which can be generated, precisely because that inherentcoincidentia oppositorum or tension, as it were, a field, that makes by definition that unit an open system.Complex numbers have the capacity not only to represent that binary or duality aspect of reality or thechance to have two polarities included in one unit, but also the nondual or wholeness attribute, we haverelated with that capacity to generate a new whole. The openness attribute is related with a capacity togenerate a field that is concomitant with those entities we can named holonic -to use a term coined byKen Wilber- such as magnetic entities, electrons, linguistic signs, cells, life, mind and beings in general.But complex numbers were born when trying to solve the simple algebraic equationThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
2 of 31 x² + 1 = 0 x² = -1 x = Sqr(-1) = J
where as a solution we have the square root of a negative one or the radical unit J.
From the point of view of "real" number perspective it does not exist a solution for this simple problemand as so it was necessary to make a paradigm extension or paradigm shift, and to define a new type ofmore general numbers to solve the problem. The solution J was named "imaginary" by Descartes for the
first time and since then, complex numbers remained as some sort of a strange mathematical tool. It wasLeonard Euler in 1745, the one, that finally found a mathematical symbol for representing that new entitythat included both kinds of numbers:- those named real and which we will term nondual for reasons we will see later, and- those named "imaginary", we will name dual on the other side for apparent reasons too.Problems of growth has been associated from the point of view of a mathematical representation with thenumber epsilon or euler number since a long time ago. And it was by studying infinite series, that Eulerfound that entity, that not only could represent those two kinds of numbers, nondual and duals, but also itincluded those cyclical waveform, sine and cosine, that occur so frequently in nature wherever we havecyclical phenomena. But the most important, the most cogen argument to use this kind of new numbers,that have been used by Electrical Engineering since Oliver Heaviside and Steinmetz introduced them atthe end of the 19th century to solve alternating electrical current circuits, is precisely, its inherentisomorphic property, that permits them to make, as it were, co-variant representations, or to makesimpler complex operations.Evidently such a useful mathematical entity, was adequate to represent dynamic realities, and it was usedfor the first time for representing electromagnetic fields at the end of the 19th century, and after that,vectors were born in physics, but then they are taught, in general, without making any references to thiscomplex number origin. Up to that moment complex numbers had not been used in practical cases, andas so it justifies why the complex plane was delayed 100 years from its real birth at the end of the 18thcentury.A unit that has always similar or identical structure or form, despite even complex operations such asintegration and derivation, is the ideal unit for the new sciences of complexity or just the systemssciences too, where structure or form, wholeness, organization, and complexity are main requirements.But another important point is that it can also be used to define then a Basic Unit System concept inwhich uncertainty is included, and as so open systems.Classical physics had as it main aim to resolve natural phenomena into a play of elementary units, as itwere, to resolve those phenomena into their parts, isolated parts, I mean, so the concept of particle wasalways the starting point of the whole framework. But that part or particle needed to be considered as anisolated entity, that is, as a closed system, in which there were no interactions at all with theenvironment. This ideal model to represent reality was so restrictive that it definitely failed, the way weall know.An adequate framework for representing reality, the whole reality, must be complex, in the sense, that itThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
3 of 31must not only include, the dual-logical-nature of reality, but also it must include, that another aspectrelated with form, wholeness and oneness. The form, the structure must be co-variant, that is, it mustremain the same in spite of a progressive modification of that same structure. In this way adaptation orchangeness as a fundamental process can give us persistent properties for that structure or just despitecomplex operations such as integration and derivation done upon that structure. But there is another moreimportant aspect to recall, and it is the need not to reduce uncertainty, in certain cases, but to be able justto manage it. And here we come across with the fundamental problem of open and closed systems. Whenwe have an open system, in general, that uncertainty is an essential part of the problem, as it were, of itsopenness attribute, and in this sense that uncertainty cannot be reduced unless we close the system, so wedetermine its state completely defining then ideal objects of study, that can fail in real cases. Theinteractions of a closed system are reduced almost to zero and then the system becomes a static systemand not precisely as a steady state system. The so-called-new-sciences-of-complexity, with the seminal
work of John H. Holland, Adaptation in Natural and artificial systems has as a main drawback
precisely this tendency to eliminate uncertainty, reducing it to unprecisions or just by trying to close thesystem under consideration, so it is not strange to find in that school of science a tendency not abandonthe Second Law of Thermodynamics as the main principle. But open systems and that second law are insome sense "incompatible" if we establish a hierarchical framework in which, that second law is just aspecial case of the behavior of an open system.
Euler Relation and Its Isomorphic Properties
Up to this moment we have been seeing the emergence of a new concept of unit that includes in itsmathematical representation the dual and nondual nature of reality, as it were, a relationship between thepart and the whole or just a unit that is a whole and a part at the same time or a Holon as Ken Wilbernamed it. And what we aim with this paper is to show that Euler Relation, is precisely the mathematicalsymbol necessary to make an adequate representation of that whole/part entity we have named a Bus:
e J( Ø ) = Cos (Ø) + J Sin (Ø)
By asigning values to Ø, from Ø = 0 to Ø = 90 degrees, we obtain an horizontal and a vertical linerespectively, as it were, the complex plane, which can be "seen" as a fifth sphere of reality or a totalitythat can be used to represent or contain the four dimensional space-time continuum. It can also be seen asa mathematical representation of the domain of Form, in the same line of that domain imagined by theperennial philosophy with Plato. Karl R. Popper in the intent to transcend dualism envisioned thisdomain as a "third world", independent from mind or the subject and the object. Karl R. Popper main
concern in Objective Knowledge was precisely to avoid what he called an essentialist explanation by
introducing this "third world", as a world independent both from the object and the subject. But onlythrough a mathematical representation we can avoid any semantic pitfall. In figure we can see twosystems S and S´ in interrelation, and apart each other an angle, being the whole domain of
representation the complex plane.The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi

And in general we can then envision Ø acquiring all values, from zero to 360 degrees, or just, some sortof a clock pointer, or a vector rotating about an origin at a given frequency, where Ø = wt and w = 2¶f
A vector rotating around an origin or a point, is what we term the centerness attribute of Euler Relation,
that has to do with its natural cyclical behavior and we could say nature loves the cyclical waveformbehavior, as we find it everywhere, from the motions of the stars and the planets, to the tides on earth,our heartbeats and our psycological states and even that motion that has always exerted such afascination upon human mind, and I mean the pendulum motion. In Euler relation we have two types ofThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
5 of 31cyclical waves separated by the radical J, and what this means is that those two type of cyclical wavesare very different in nature, and this is what we are going to show in the following.In Euler Relation we then have a:Dual, symmetric or binary component that can be represented with the sine function:
and aNondual or Oneness component that can be represented with the cosine function: Cos(Ø ) = Cos(-Ø)We must recall that the dual component or that component associated with the sine function changeswith changing the sign of the angle Ø, and that the nondual component or cosine function remains thesame with changing that sign angle, so we have in this unit those two requisites we pointed out at thebeginning of this paper necessary for representing reality. But this mathematical process of changingsign is associated with changing the rotation sense, counterclockwise or clockwise as we will see later, soit has to do with a very general sense of rotation of the whole structure.Historically Euler Relation was associated with the problem of the infinite series:
where by replacing X = J*Ø
we obtain finally Euler Relation by separating those terms that are affected by J from the others,obtaining the nondual or cosine expresion and the dual affected by J, or sine expression.This infinite series can be called Euler Relation, where, e = 2.71828. But the main point to notice at thisvery moment, is the cosine and sine nature of the two components separated by J.
Cosine or nondual nature of Euler RelationFrom Euler relation we obtain the cosine function represented by
Cos (wt) = ( e J( wt ))/ 2+ ( e - J( wt )) / 2
so the cosine function is expressed as the sum of two vectors rotating in opposite directions, one of themin counterclockwise or positive direction at an angular velocity w, and the second one in the clockwise ornegative direction at an equal angular velocity w and as the vector rotate the two dual components canceleach other, and as so the sum is a purely real or nondual vector, nondual because we cannot obtain theopposite by changing the sign of the angle. The axis of the cosine function is in fact that axis not affectedby J, the so called real axis, we have named the nondual axis. At this point it is important to recall theradical duality, expressed in that inherent polarity or tension of those two vectors rotating in oppositeThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
6 of 31directions but in a comprehensive whole, or just the complex plane.
Sine or dual nature of Euler RelationFrom that same Euler Relation we obtain the sine function represented by
Sin (wt) = [( e - J( wt )) / 2- ( e J( wt ))/ 2]* J
so the sine function is expressed as the sum of two vectors rotating in opposite directions, one of them incounterclockwise or positive direction at an angular velocity w, and the second one in the clockwise ornegative direction at an equal angular velocity w and as the vector rotate the two nondual componentscancel each other, and as so the sum is a purely, as it were, "imaginary" or a dual vector, dual because byjust changing the sign of the angle we can obtain the opposite.The axis of the sine function is in fact the J axis(see how the sine function is affected by J), the
so-called-imaginary-axis, or the symmetry axis, where symmetry is defined as similarity of forms orarrangement on either side of a dividing line, so on one side we have a positive magnitude and on theother we have a negative sign for that magnitude.
The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
7 of 3From this point of view it is not perfectly general to say that the sinusoidal wave, as an adjective, is thesame for both sine and cosine functions even though we can obtain the one from the other by the additionof a phase angle of -90°; that addition is not at all a trivial one though. In fact to avoid any ambiguity wemust differentiate clearly the asymetrical or nondual nature of the one, and the symetrical or dual natureof the other. Reality is in fact composed of two components, but in the physical domain, as it were, the "imaginary" domain, the dual nature is easily grasped and as so we can really say nature "loves" thesinusoid, and normally it hides as a mystery, its nondual nature. This nondual nature must always bediscovered. It is some sort of fixed or nonchanging component to which the change of the system as awhole can be referred, but as a point of reference it must be discovered, it must be chosen or requires adecision. In this sense we can say that the foundation of all reality is an ultimate frame of reference inwhich the nondual, the nonchanging is at the background or up from the point of view of hierarchy andthis implies then an "inclusive" attribute that is essential to have always in mind when dealing withreality. That ultimate frame of reference, we have named the domain of Form, permits us to define adomain independent of the observer and the object, as within it the object is embedded. We will then beable to have a Quantum Mechanics solution without the "observer drawback", as Karl R. Popper tried tofind all his life but from the philosophical point of view and which was Einstein main concern about QMtoo.Phase angle and magnitud are the two main state variables of that unit obtained with Euler relation andthat has been named a phasor in EE. We will use interchangeably the terms vectors and phasors and infact we will replace them by the Basic Unit System concept, which in general will be a rotating entity in
the complex plane at a given frequency . In most practical problems all vectors are riding with the same
frequency, so a sort of "merry-go-round" effect exists, in which vectors are seen as stationary withThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
8 of 31respect to each other, so the ordinary rules of vector geometry can be used to manipulate them as withthat "merry-go-round" effect we obtain some sort of static framework within dynamism. But then we
have also the chance to have the phenomenon of resonance. We are acquainted with such a phenomenonspecially in the production of musical sounds and certain type of vibrations but the important point torecall is that through resonance we can explain those cases where small changes can often produce large
effects.
We must recall additionally again the fact that the phase or the angle sign is associated with the positiveor -negative sense of the vector rotation and as so:- In the cosine case we can interchange both rotation vectors, by changing their sign and nothingchanges, the form remains the same, they cannot be segregated just as in a magnet where we cannotdifferentiate the two polar components as they are seen always as one, as it were, the oneness property.- In the sine case that interchange, or changing of signs of the angle, affects the final-resulting vectorwith respect to its position in relation with the nondual axis.Resuming we have with ER a fundamental structure with two components separated by the radical J:
- one nondual in which oneness is an essential attribute and which brings us to mind that self-awarenesscapacity that permits us as humans to think about our own thinking process, that permits us reflectivity orto know that we know, as it were, a new way of "seeing"; a way to be conscious of our Being, that makesus different from the animal world. This nondual component is precisely that one that permits us torepresent, as it were, the within of things. This within attribute was not possible to be considered inclassical physics as it used to see reality just from the without of things. But with this within attribute wecan envision a storing capacity of energy as that we find in magnetic fields, but also an informationstoring capacity in general. It is important to recall from the beginning that this within attribute as a
storing information capacity at its highest manifestation is very different from consciousness , being
more related with the fifth sphere of reality or just in plain mathematical words with the complex plane.So from here that pretension to reduce everything to consciousness is not our pretension anymore. Agreater within means a greater complexity or a greater without, that can or cannot be necessarily a greaterconsciousness.- one dual in which we can have two parts separated or clearly differentiated. Parts separated, is preciselythat condition necessary for the application of analytical procedures, being the second one, the chance tolinearize. We will see in what follows that ER most important isomorphic property is precisely to reduce
complexity to a minus one degree of complexity making linear the representation of non-linear operators
without reducing them.But these two basic components are united in that mathematical symbolism called Euler Relation and atthe same time separated in a radical way by J, repeating again at a higher level of representation the
same basic structure we have found within that same relation, an inclusiveness attribute. We have then,as it were, a fundamental and basic minimum structural complexity represented by Euler Relation. Is thisbasic minimum structural complexity the one necessary to represent reality at its most profoundstructure? Does this basic minimum structural complexity give us those isomorphic properties needed forrepresenting and deducing the most fundamental laws of physics and reality? The answer to these twoquestions will be yes, and this is what this proposal is all about.
Complex Algebra and Isomorphic PropertiesThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
9 of 31Vectors are ideal mathematical entities when relationships are important and as so we have vector sumsand differences, but also multiplication, division, derivative and integrals and every one of theseoperations can be represented in the complex plane as some sort of complex metrics and even theresulting geometrical figures are simpler than those obtained in normal geometry. But the powerfuladvantage of complex number is seen in computations, or when using complex-algebra, where theisomorphic property of Euler Relation manifests all its co-variant power.The main restriction we must pose from the very beginning is that of the same frequency, so that allrotating vectors considered must have the same angular velocity or frequency, so that we can have the"merry-go-round" effect. The frequency in this sense is that variable that can in fact produce large effectsin a system that was previously chaotic before acquiring it. The order of this system depends on thatacquired same frequency for all entities conforming the system. So this "restriction" is in fact the central
point for the system acquiring a higher ordered state . In fact that frequency is associated with one of the
essential state variables of the system, the angle, being the other the magnitude. The state is in fact thatone in which having a "merry-go-round" effect give us as a result, as it were, an organized complexity.Rewritting ER again
e J( Ø ) = Cos (Ø) + J Sin (Ø)
we can note that it is a unit vector in which we have a length one, because 1 = Sqr [ Cos ²(Ø) + Sin ²(Ø) ]So we have a unit vector standing at an angle Ø from the nondual or real or main axisThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi

and we can have then in general, entities represented as
A = Abs (A)* e J( Ø )
that can be represented too in a rectangular form taken from the figure The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
11 of 31as A = a-nondual + J * a-dual
whereA-nondual = Abs( A)*Cos(Ø)
andA-dual = Abs( A)*Sin(Ø)
With these expressions the complex algebra can be established having in mind that we must not mix, asit were, oranges and apples, we must in fact abandon once and for all the reductionistic tendency, withthis complex representation. We must make in fact a radical distinction between the two basiccomponents that are used to represent reality and according to this radical duality, the nondualcomponents must be used with nonduals, and the dual components with the dual components, noting thatJ * J = -1
in case of multiplication and division of complex vector entities.With this in mind, all laws of normal algebra and arithmetic are preserved as with this radical separationwe preserve homogenety on the one side and heterogenety on the other, and as so we then have anotherrules for the basic operations with complex algebra. We must differentiate the dual nature of reality tointegrate them again, through the basic unit system concept, that transforms itself in a powerfulexplaining and simplier tool, some sort of a truly isomorphic unit.The sum or difference of two Buses . To obtain the sum of two Buses, we must decompose it in its two
basic components in rectangular form as:The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
12 of 31A = a-nondual + J * a-dual
B = b-nondual + J * b-dual
soC = A + B
equalsC = ( a-nondual + b-nondual ) + J*( a-dual + b-dual )
soc-nondual = a-nondual + b-nondualandc-dual = a-dual + b-dualin the same way for the differenceThe product of two Buses. To multiply two Buses we must use instead of the rectangular form, the
corresponding polar form as:
A1 = Abs (A1)* e J( Ø )
B1 = Abs (B1)* e J( Ø )
so we have
A1* B1 = Abs(A1)*Abs(B1)* e J( Ø1) *e J( Ø2)
or
A1* B1 = Abs(A1)*Abs(B1)* e J( Ø1+Ø2)
a resulting vector C, in which their magnitudes are multiplied, as in normal arithmetical cases, but their
angles are summed, so a multiplication or a nonlinear operation is transformed, as it were, in a linearoperation.
C1 = Abs (C1)* e J( Ø3 )
where
Abs(C1) = Abs(A1)*Abs(B1)
and Ø3 = Ø1 + Ø2The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
13 of 31By similar mathematical reasoning we can obtain the quotient of two buses, in which that quotienttransforms itself both in a difference of the corresponding angles and a quotient of its magnitudes. Themagnitudes behave themselves in the same way normal mathematical arithmetical quantitativeoperations behave. All its rules are preserved.But if we call qualitative those aspects related with the phase angle, we see then, they are summedinstead of multiplied in case of complex algebra representation. This capacity of complex numbers toreduce a nonlinear operation to a linear one, is in fact the one that makes them such a powerful simplifiertool, and adequate to represent the complex nature of reality we have been presenting from the beginningof this paper. But it is important to recall that linearization does not affect at all the quantitative part, justthe qualitative one, giving us a new capacity to think the whole correctly and the chance to introduce
bodly in our intellectual frameworks new categories, so a new world outlook is obtained that includes initself an explanation and development of new things and even solves once and for all the paradoxes ofwave and particle as we will see when deducing the complex Schrödinger Wave Equation, but also whenobtaining the exact mathematical representation of the most intriguing open system mankind has everknown and which had always exerted a fascination for him, I mean, the pendulum movement.Conjugate of two complex numbers. Two buses are conjugate if they have the same magnitud and equal
angles, but each angle being the negative of the other. As we have pointed out that negative sign has todo with an inversion of the rotational sense in such cases where the angle is a function of time.Differentiation and integration. We have already pointed out that remarkable property of ER we have
qualified as isomorphic and that has to with the fact that the integration and differentiation of ER, arethemselves ER of the same frequency. And in that case in which the angle of ER is not complex, but justa simple function of a variable, the differentiation and integration of that ER function is the same, in bothcases. There is no way to distinguish between them. But that differentiation appears clearly in those casewe have a complete ER.By the rules of elementary Calculus, the derivative of an ER with a constant magnitud, has the samemagnitud as the original vector multiplied by the frequency w, but the angle has been advanced by 90°,or just the expression multiplied by J, which is an ER, where the angle is 90°.
The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
14 of 31And the integration is the dual operation as that of differentiation and as so the integration of an ER withconstant magnitud, has the same magnitud as the original vector divided by the frequency w
F -1 (INTEGRATION)
F ' (DIFFERENTIATION)
but the angle has been retarded by 90°, or just the expression multiplied by - J , as were, an opposite
sense of rotation. This way of reasoning is exactly the application of what I like to name the dualityprinciple, but which is a way of applying a binary logic or symmetry to obtain a dual reality from one ofits components.The complex vector algebra simplifies mathematical operations by one degree, so in this way it reducescomplexity by one degree too and as so it becomes a real isomorphic tool as even complex operationssuch as differentiation and integration are reduced to simple algebraic operators. This technique ofreducing complexity by minus one degree is the most important characteristic of the ElectricalEngineering mathematics, where phasors are its "bread and butter" tool. This reduction of complexity byminus one degree permits us to comply with those two conditions of analytical procedures:- linearization andThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
15 of 31- to have weak interaction between the parts in those cases in which the general open system is closed,which was what Ludwig Von Bertalanffy pointed out as the central and methodological problem ofsystems theory.But the important thing to recall is that Euler Relation is the ideal isomorphic unit, as the sums,differences, integrals, and derivatives of Euler Relation functions of a given frequency are themselvesEuler Relation functions of the same frequency, they do not change their form with these operations, theyremain invariant or just co-variant. No other mathematical function is preserved in this fashion , as so
it is the ideal one for filling that requirement Einstein put in his The foundation of the General Theory
of Relativity , 1916, when he wrote "The general laws of nature are to be expressed by equations which
hold good for all systems of co-ordinates, that is, are co-variant with respect to any substitutionswhatever(generally co-variant)".We can then define a differential complex geometry in which we have a differential of reality defined asa Basic Unit System or a Holon such that
DS = Abs (DS)* e J( Ø )
with this complex metrics we can find and deduced all the fundamental equations of physics. It is notstrange to find such a powerful explaining tool after we have found all those isomorphic properties ofcomplex numbers. A Holon has embedded a within and a without, as it were, an analytical and asynthetic capacity, or a partness and a wholeness attributes. Leonard Euler must have felt a specialfeeling of wholeness when he found this relation.
The Principle of Synergy
The late Abraham Maslow was the one who coined the term "synergy" , an obscure term fromanthropology, but he used it for the first time in business to describe how wealth can be created fromcooperation. Creation of wealth, emergence of new things and structures that modify themselves to givebetter performance are main issues of the so-called-sciences-of-complexity or systems sciences.Structure and environment or as we would say, threeness(Oneness) and openness, they both claim for awhole that is greater than the sum of the parts, or for a basic and fundamental framework in which threefundamental and interdependent entities are put in mutual interaction. They pose the need to have asstarting point not only a minimum structure, but also a minimum system of elements in interaction.In the physical domain synergy can be found whenever we have a real transformation of energy toanother useful way or level which presuposses interchange or transformation of energy betweensystems.This "useful way" is in fact the real source of new applications and in this sense synergy is there,where we have emergence of new realities or just open systems that have exchanging-energy-capacitywith the environment. That whole greater than the sum of its parts has nothing to do with metaphysic, asthat "greater" comes from the very nature of an open system.Electrical energy, or the AC we use at home, is in fact the result of the application of the Principle ofSynergy where energy is transformed from a primary source, hidraulic for example, to electrical energyby moving a threefold magnetic structure, which gives at the output the AC energy we can utilize inmany ways. In these cases the open system concept is concomitant.The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
16 of 31If we consider three-double-complex-vectors or phasors, or just Buses constituted each one of them by
where they correspond to three physical counterpart dispositions displaced 120° from one another justlike the figure and where that physical disposition cancels, as it were, its apparent cause so that thecause-effect relationship is subtle or the cause become hidden, or just it depends on the interchanging ofenergy or information with the environment or field, so at last we have
A' =Abs (A')* e J( wt )
a rotating phasor or Bus at a given frequency.A given frequency is precisely the one attribute that makes it possible, the "merry-go-around" effect, as it
were, that new order or reality that comes from the application of the Principle of Synergy. If thefrequencies are not the same for the three independent entities we wont't have the desired"merry-go-around" effect; it is just obtained when that frequency is reached, some sort of emergencestate, in which one small effect -a small change in frequency- gives us a large effect or a new emergentorder.The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
17 of 31
But those three or six independent entities in interrelationship conform just one entity or a whole picture,or a form represented by a circle.We have already come across with a radical separation of reality, in which we have a without and awithin but embedded in a whole, a whole that is not just the result of an arithmetical sum of elements.The Principle of Synergy or that glueing principle can be just represented by a fundamental sevenfoldstructure as the one of the figure
in which we have not only a theoretical framework that has embedded that radical separation, but also apractical way of representing that minimum complex structure of nondual and dual, and in which weThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
18 of 31have a new type, as it were, of constitutive characteristic whereby we must not know only the parts, butalso the relations.But the point to recall is that structure represented by- three inner or nondual relations, or just the 1-1, 2-2 and 3-3 relations- three outer or dual relations, or just the 1-2, 2-3 and 1-3 relationsBut additionally the wholeness attribute is associated as we have pointed out with an emergent property,represented by the 1-2-3 relation. But here we have a clear departure of a holistic framework, as eventhough we have that holistic property embedded too in this framework, that important attribute isembedded in a Basic Unit System or Holon, not in a general abstraction that is just the whole, and wherethe hierarchy-relationship between that part and the whole is not cleat at all.The Bus(Holon) concept is embedded in a formal complex mathematical framework, whose generality isassociated with those isomorphic properties we have already presented and that give us a real internalconsistency which allows to treat steady-state systems by the same general techniques or methodology.Furthermore those six relations are some sort of detailed complexity as opposed to the 1-2-3 relationwhich is the complexity of the whole. The traditional problem between the part or detail and the whole isnot a problem anymore with this sevenfold structure that can be used at different levels of reality withoutreducing the one to the other.The fact we use a complex mathematical symbolism, as a tool, for representing this sevenfold structureavoids that syncretic whole reasoning Galileo used when he wrote There are seven windows given to
animals in the domicile of the head, through which the air is admitted to the tabernacle of the body, toenlighten, to warm and to nourish it. What are these parts of the microcosmos? Two nostrils, two eyes,two ears, and a mouth. So in the heavens, as in macrocosmos, there are two favorable starts, twounpropitious, two luminaries, and Mercury undecided and indifferent. From this and many othersimilarities in nature, such as seven metals, ect., which is were tedious to enumerate, we gather that thenumbers of planets is necessarely seven . But it also prevents using as a key guiding principle the primacy
of the whole which results in arrogant role of dominance when applied to organizations.
The Pendulum
The pendulum movement is so remarkable not just for its role as a cornerstone in the birth of modernscience that permitted Galileo a paradigm shift, but also because it is the most natural example of anopen system. When looking at the swinging body he saw a body that almost succeded in repeating thesame motion over and over ad infinitum. Its succes in repeating the same motion over an over lies in itsinterrelationship with the environment or in its openness attribute. By looking at the pendulum Galileo
reported that the pendulum's period was independent of amplitud for amplitudes as great as 90°, hisview of the pendulum led him to see far more regularity than we can now discover there . Is this view of
seeing more regulaties than there really existed part of the incapacity of normal science to explainpendulum-like regularities in a most documented way, and following a mathematical methodology withno leaps? Or How else are we to account for Galileo's discovery that the bob's period is entirely
independent of amplitude, a discovery that the normal science stemming from Galileo had to eradicateand that we are quite unable to document today .
The exact simple pendulum solution implies the solution of a first order differential equation whichThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
19 of 31implies too an integration whose solution is an elliptic integral. This means the introduction of anapproximation factor that could only be found by observations of the pendulum real behavior, some sortof trial and error procedure. In fact normal mathematical symbolism, I mean, not-complex-mathematicalsymbolism, cannot give reason of that approximation factor without using some sort of methodologicalleaps, to explain deviations. Normal science works with closed systems, that is, systems that do notexchange with their environment. But the pendulum movement seems to violate even that infamoussecond law of thermodynamics. In fact it gives us a natural sense of eternity just as the poet Jacques
Bridaine wrote
"Eternity is a pendulum whose balance wheel says unceasingly only the two words, in the silence of a
tomb, 'always! never! always!... '"
After exploiting the cyclical wave nature of Euler Relation in EE, it is obvious to expect we will be ableto explain with it, all those natural phenomena such as that of the pendulum, in which we have cyclicalor wave movements. But for achieving this, it is necessary to realize a real paradigm shift. With thecomplex plane we have introduced in fact a new sphere of reality in which we have embedded both thenondual and dual nature of reality, and as so a complex metrics, whose main characteristics are:- on the one side, its isomorphic property, as we have extensively pointed out up to this point, and whichgives us a powerful methodological tool to explain those cases in which real dynamism is involved- but also that property we have associated with a "merry-go-round" effect, and that permits us to make amathematical representation of real dynamic entities or of the generation of forms, as is the case with thependulum, in which its form is continually generating itself just as a result of a mere impulse.A new sphere of reality or the sphere of form, in which the four-dimensional space-time continuum isembedded. A new category or totality that contains the physiosphere is also that sphere in which we canhave animated forms, as it were, the biosphere, or the Bergson-Theilhard de Chardin DURATIONconcept.A complex metrics is then a top-down metrics and this also means an axiomatic nature, so from thenotion of the Basic Unit System and those normal regulaties already known from physics, but also fromthose properties obtained from geometry we can obtain the state of our Bus system, through amethodology in which instead of starting with the postulation of a differential equation, we start with theBus concept, as a tool to integrate or obtain that state. And this will be our aim for the pendulum case.From the point of view of the BUS, the pendulum movement is a rotational motion. The pendulum as aBus is then an open steady state system and the earth gravitational field is its context, and whenobserving that cyclical movement we can observe a maximum angle Ø, or Ømax, for a correspondingmaximum displacement Smax. Solving this problem means, integrating , some sort of constitutivecharacteristic, not a summative one.The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi

We will use Int [ ] as the integration symbol - so the complex trajectory DS betweenS = 0toS = Smaxwill be
but additionally we note that this is a static and potential expression related with space, and as so wemust introduce its dynamic counterpart by multiplying both part of the equation by the basic unit of timegiven by:
whereØ = wtThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
21 of 31So reality S of the pendulum is generated and represented by:
Intuitively, from geometry we know that in a circle we have
as a general dynamic expresion in which the principle of synergy is included. Its manifestation can berecognized in that rotating expresion.
Balancing Equality and the Pendulum
To obtain the pendulum harmonic motion or just a steady state we must apply a balancing or acompensator equality, between two forces or polatities:- an inner one related with the weighting mass of the bob and- an outer one related with the so-called-inertial mass.This equality played a very important role in Einstein works about gravitational fields. Up to that timethat equality had been considered a mystery in the Newtonian framework. It generated those famousmental examples with elevators, in which bodies are subjected on the one side to an inertial force, and onthe other to the gravitational field.When these two forces or polarities within a comprehensive whole become equal then we have aharmonic motion or a motion that almost succeeded in repeating itself over and over ad infinitum. Abalancing loop which implies a rotational motion or the Synergistic Principle means that the law ofopposites must always be considered in a comprehensive whole, or dynamic context, producing acyclical movement. But if we consider inertial forces then we must apply Newton Second Law, but thistime at the fivefold continuum, or complex plane.The first derivative of S(t)
S(t) = L* e J(wt + Ømax)
is
dS/dt = L *Ømax*e J(wt + Ømax)The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
22 of 31and the second derivative:
d 2 S/ d t 2 = - (L*Ømax*w*w)*e J(wt + Ømax)
being amax = ( L * Ømax * w *w *) the maximum absolute value of acceleration.According to that second law we have at the maximum point Smax the inertia "vector", which tends tomaintain the motion as:Fmax = m *( L * Ømax * w * w)
if we apply, on the other hand, the vector composition of forces and using tangential components at thatpoint we have the mass "vector" as:Fmax = m * g * Sen(Ømax)
so equating both the inertial and the mass "vectors" we've got:L*Ømax*w*w = g*Sen(Ømax)so the angular velocity is:w = sqr( g * Sen(Ømax) /( Ømax * L))but ifw = 2*Pi *fandT = 1/f, where f is the frecuency and T the period thenT = 2*Pi *sqr((L/g) *( Ømax /Sen(Ømax))which is the exact pendulum formula.The factor sqr( Ømax /Sen( Ømax) ) tends to one when Ømax is small and it can be omitted as long asthe amplitud does not exceed
10°. In Table 1, in the second row we can see the values K of the elliptic
integral, in the third row the corresponding factor according that integral, and in the fourth row thecorresponding factor obtained with the Bus concept. In the fifth row we can see the difference in errorbetween the elliptic factor and the Bus Factor. This difference in errors as the amplitud increases can betaken as a fallibility criterion for those angles greater then 30 degrees where the error between the two isdefinitely inaceptable.Table 1.

23 of 31The exact solution introduces a nonlinear character in the pendulum motion which gives reason of its realbehavior defined by the well known observed laws. Normally this problem was solved by resolving adifferential equation, that gave finally an elliptic integral, or some kind of solution that must be validatedwith the real observed behavior of the pendulum, as an elliptic integral cannot be expressed in terms of
the usual algebraic or trigonometric functions, see Vector Mechanics for Engineers . Galileo did not
know this factor, and so he extended the application of the observed pendulum laws far beyond its realrange, even to 90 degrees. But the fact that the time of any amplitude were independent of the mass ofthe body made he think in the falling of bodies and specially in the well-known Pisa Tower experiment,in which both an iron and a wood sphere fall with the same time, which means in all cases, the trajectoryfollowed by those bodies is an invariant.The pendulum is essentially a device for measuring time. It is in fact, as it were, the contrivance of time.Its form unfolds itself in time, it is the dynamic device for excellence. Differently from those movementsof classical Newtonian mechanics, like those of the planets, in which time does noy play really any roleand in which we could talk about the chance to invert time, the pendulum movement in this sense is not aclassical movement, and it answers the question posed by Thomas S. Khun about that movement. So thePrinciple of Synergy applied to the pendulum explains why this principle seems opposed to thatinfamous second law, as with it, forms can be generated and we can obtain in natural way a steady stateopen system.
Quantum Mechanics
The Quantum Mechanics problem before being a scientific problem is a philosophical problem as fromthe beginning it touches the same nature of reality and the relation of the subject with that reality. Therelation between object and subject, the active factor of the subject in the process of cognition is in factan epistemological problem that has to do with the way the subject defines what he understands byobjects. But this philosophical problem can be found in the idea of the active role of language in theshaping of our worldviews or images of the world, and as so it is primitive and was the main concern notonly of philosophers but also of historians as we can see in Adam Shaff work History and Truth. And weknow also the efforts done by Karl Poper during all his life and specially in the introduction of his
Quantum theory and the Schism in physics. From the Postscript to the Logic of Scientific Discovery ,
to exhorcise consciousness or the observer from physics.Reality is independent of human mind, of the subject perceiving it, and we can distinguish in it threegreat realms:- Reality per se- The subject that perceives that reality- the object perceived by the subject as realityThe structure of reality perceived by the subject is crucial in the determination of the objects of study,that as a matter of fact, are those objects normally studied by science. But science is a product of humanactivity and as so language is crucial in the determination of those objects of study. This problem tookKarl R. Popper to define a third world, as an intermediate world between consciousness and objectivereality.As we have seen we can have two kinds of mathematical languages, a partial one that not necessarilyThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
24 of 31denies complex numbers as it uses them in "convinient ways", and an integral one in which complexnumber are used for building a unit in which the radical J is some sort of operator to distinguish betweentwo different orders of reality, as it were, the nondual and the dual nature of reality embedded in thatsame unit. In this sense this is not a new theory but a way of "seeing" and interpreting reality in whichuncertainty is always concomitant.When we talk about Reality per se we are not meaning a third world as that of Plato, divine, superhuman
and eternal, but of reality as defined by Mortimer J. Adler in his Adler's Philosophical Dictionary
where he wrote:BEING The word "being" is an understanding of that which in the twentieth century is identified with
reality.What does the word "real" mean? The sphere of the real is defined as the sphere of existence that istotally independent of the human mind...Another distinction with which we must deal is that betweenbeing and becoming, between the mutable being of all things subject to change, and the immutable beingof that which is timeless and unchangeable. That is eternal which is beyond time and change. In the realof change and time, past events exist only as objects remembered, and future events exits only as objectsimagined.Historically the prevailing structure of reality has been a dualistic one in which reality as a whole isdivided in just two domains, being each one, as it were, parallel to the other, with no possibility ofintegration in case of gross dualism. Normally there has been some sort of partialness depending on theaccent put either in philosophy as the queens of all science, or in science as the real-objective science, orjust two and only two realms of reality. Philosophy and Ontology are not considered normally asindependent domains, but for our purpose and aim, philosophy must look for an integrated image ofreality and in the searching of methods of generalization so that philosophical theses are kept fromcontradicting science, in other words it must contribute to oneness and not to partialness. On the otherhand Ontology must look for the more-being, and as such realism must be concomitant as a main issue.In our context, in which we use a structure defined by a basic unit system, those objects of study can beclassified as real open systems and as ideal closed systems. An open system can have though a variablecenter and as such its external manifestation or its form cannot be determined, as its field or circle ofinfluence is variable, and this will be the case for the electron. Other open systems in which both itscenter and its radius are not variable will have a more determined state and will be near to an ideal closedsystem. But this issue has to do directly with the Uncertainty Principle, in which we have as inphilosophy no univocal conditions as those we can obtained with closed systems. But the important pointis the correlation we have between closed systems, measuring and open system and the UncertaintyPrinciple. The incapacity to measure the momentum and the position of an electron at the same time, hasbeen associated with a philosophical problem that has to do with an emphasis on the subject doing theexperiment, pointing out the fact that the structures of the subject are crucial in the way he defines realityor its object of study, which is similar to that philosophical problem in which language is considered as afactor that creates reality.We can talk about metaphysics when we have assertions for which we don´t have procedures on the oneside, or on the laws on the other, that can be used to verify those assertions. In the latter case when wehave laws we can built measurement instruments to verify the Data. On the other hand we have knownprocedures that when used they take us to a series of consistent results, that can be describedThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
25 of 31qualitatively, but not necessarily quantitatively. In both cases our main task as scientists and philosophermust be the searching of thruth.In our case we will consider this problem of the Uncertainty Principle, in case of an electron, as theimpossibility to determine the state of the corresponding Basic Unit System because there is not a lawwith which we can interrelate its two components, as it were, its dynamic counterpart and its static one.In this way we can separate the scientific problem of Quantum Mechanics from a philosophical problemwhich I think was the aim of Karl Popper when defining his "third world theory". In our case there areclear differentiation between precision and uncertainty, as there are cases such as the electron case inwhich there is no way to reduce the qualitative to the quantitative, which was Karl R. Popper requisite toincrease the degree of contrastability of certain theories.The trajectory or more appropriately the reality of an electromagnetic entity as that of the electron, whichas a matter of fact behaves as a wave, can be represented by the bus concept as
But a general conceptualization of the Bus concept can be seen as a mathematical expression of energyin its most primary definition, but energy "is like a frequency multiplied by Plank's constant h"E = h*fand that angle ø can be replaced byø = 2*p / h * (p* x - E *t)a well-known expresion taken from Quantum Mechanicsand
The two state variables of the BUS in this case are x and t, so to able to determine its state, we must findor know a relationship between them. The geometric-like behavior of the pendulum gave us the clue tofind that relationship. In case of the planet movements it is the second Kepler Law associated with acentral force movement the one that permits to determine its state.We know that for the electron we cannot find a relationship between its two state variables, and this isanother way to present the Uncertainty Principle which means from the geometrical point of view wewill not have a known trajectory followed by the electron, as was the case with the pendulum or as it iswith the planets. In both of these cases we have a "real" differential equation associated with. In theelectron case we have the well-known complex Schrödinger wave Equation that was presented by him inThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
26 of 311926 as a postulate, that is, as a way of saying that equation does not have just one solution starting frominitial conditions, so the need to measure was replaced by qualitative methods, where one must focus in abehavioral area and not in finding laws that permit us to measure. In case of the pendulum its formchanges with time, but at the same time, its centerness attribute is localized, which seems not to be thecase for the electron case.But our aim is to deduce that complex wave Equation in the context of the Bus concept. Let us supposean unknown general solution, as a function of space and time, as it were, of its two state variables
let us rename
Abs(S) by Ψ
and
S(x, t) by Ψ( x, t)
to distinguish magnitude from complex quantities on the one side, and on the other to use the traditionalnotation used when representing Schrödinger Wave Equation in Quantum Mechanics.Expressing E as function of momentum and replacingE = p²/2mwe have
S(x, t) as
the point here is to follow the well-known-wave procedure by making two partial derivatives of thisexpression with respect to space and one partial derivative with respect to time and by equating them weobtain the complex Schrödinger Wave Equation. But at this point it is important to recall the isomorphicproperty of Euler Relation as the one that makes it possible this result, as it were, the permanence of theunstable.The first partial derivative with respect to space givesThe Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
27 of 31the second partial derivative gives us
equating both Ψ" expressions 2 and 3
The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
28 of 31we obtain the well-known Schrödinger Wave Equation, introduced by him in 1926, for a free particlemoving in x's direction. This equation was presented then, as we said previously, as a postulate as therewas no means to deduce it, from more basic principles, none the less, we have just applied the waveprocedure to the BUS concept based on the principle of synergy.There is an emergent conclusion in all this, and it is that the fundamental of physical reality is energy ,
and not a particle( or the mass concept). A particle is a Bus or Holon rotating at an unknown low
frequency but in the complex plane or in reality represented in that plane, so that its state is completely
determined, or else the qualitative aspect is reduced to the quantitative one in such a way no possibilityof a field or just a storing capacity is feasible different from its well determined state. It is important toremember at this point that the Bus concept as a mathematical symbolism also has that wholenessattribute that is at the base of growth, each whole has the capacity to generate another whole, but alwayshaving in mind that openness attribute that also permits us to define the Bus in general as a symbol forrepresenting a steady state open system. It is not a metaphysical concept that came from nothing. It is aconcept in which a glueing principle as that of the Principle of Synergy permits us to define that onenessattribute.
Conclusions and Suggested applications
From all this exposition emerges a conceptual framework that not necessarily reduces everything to themost elementary levels of reality, but as a good engineering conceptual tool opens new avenues forfuture research and development. The important point to recall at the outset is the need to abandon theold dualistic framework that has the natural tendency to put the whole or the part as a "primacy". TheBus concept is a part/whole complex mathematical concept that has embedded, as we have seen, thenondual and the dual nature of reality, but also the Principle of Synergy in which the whole is greaterthan the sum of its parts that gives us a medium to interpret reality, as it were, in organic ways as wehave a minimum threshold of complexity.In general, reality can be analyzed as a web of Buses but the Principle of Synergy implies a same
frequency to obtain that "merry-go-around" effect or that emergent steady state or new order or that
higher complex state where we have an organized complexity. One of the most important point to recallof this symbolism is that we do not need to make any reference to anthropomorphic concepts such aspsyche or consciousness to explain those emergent states where we find a whole greater than the sum ofthe parts. But from the point of view of the whole reality we obtain a framework in which by theintroduction of a fifth sphere of reality, that of form, we have then a sevenfold structure where thespace-time continuum is embedded in that fifth sphere where life can be defined as an animated form,but then we have mind or the noosphere as the sixth sphere of reality, but also the Being as that one thathas embedded them all.Having found such a powerful explaining tool, it is obvious to feel an imperious need to share with thescientifical community such a framework that can not only illuminates its actual practice by defining theobjects of study in certain cases but also establishing clearly the impossibility to reduce those objects toisolable units in other cases. The whole concern of Ludwing von Bertalanffy in its GST when he wroteWe may state as characteristic of modern science that this scheme of isolable units acting in one-waycausality has proved to be insufficient. Hence the appearance, in all fields of science, of notions likewholeness, holistic, organismic, gestalt, etc., which all signify that, in the last resort, we must think interms of systems of elements in mutual interaction.The Principle of Synergy and Isomorphic Units © 1999 by Epsilon Pi
29 of 31is then the same concern of all this paper, but our main point is the integration of those three big three,
Being, Mind and Form or as Ken Wilber wrote in its Sex, Ecology and Spirituality the Spirit of
EvolutionWith Kant, each of these spheres is differentiated and set free to develop its own potentials withoutviolence...These three spheres, we have seen, refer in general to the dimensions of "it", of "we", and of"I"...In the realm of "itness" or empiric-scientific truths, we want to know if propositions more or lessaccurately match the facts as disclosed...In the realm of "I-ness", the criterion is sincerity...And in the
realm of "we-ness" the criterion is goodness, or justness or relational care and concern...What isrequired, of course, is not a retreat to a predifferentiated state...what is required in the integration of the
Big Three. And that, indeed, is what might be called the central problem of postmodernity... how does
one integrate them?Science, philosophy and ontology and its integration implies a science that looks for truth but with anopenness criterion, a philosophy than looks for oneness without the reductionism tendency but also for
an ontology that looks for wholeness as a fundamental principle.
To manage complexity properly it is very essential to have a basic structure and among the possibleconceptual structures we can have- a binary or dual one and- a threeness one that by mathematical inevitability becomes a sevenfold structureThis sevenfold structure has been used succesfully in many fields in a natural way but also recently wecan find its application in many other fields too. For example the three-"tiers" architectural approach toclient/server solutions and which looks for separating the various components of a client/server systeminto three "tiers" of services that must come together to create an application is precisely a solutionwhose main aim is to manage the changing complexity and which requires a basic hierarchy that startswith the service to the client. A tool must be adapted in every case so that we can avoid what can benamed the "Galileo syncretic whole reasoning" about that sevenfold structure. Maybe Galileo powerfulmind "saw" the powerful explaining capacity of this structure but his time was just the beginning of ascience in which the bynary or dual structure would prevail.Structure and environment are the main starting point of the new sciences of complexity or in the studiesof complex adaptive systems in which adaptation to the environment implies always a minimumconceptual structural framework.User services or interface or environment, business services or an adaptive plan, and data services or
representation of changing estructures in a general way, are just some of the new applications we canfound in the General Systems Sciences or Sciences of complexity of this sevenfold framework withwhich we definitely transcend the dualistic worldview and which is really very different from the holisticparadigm, and not just from the conceptual point of view but even more important from the practicalpoint of view.

The variant of phenomenological theory of humankind future existence after time of demographic
transition based on treating the time of demographic transi tion as a point of phase transition and
taking into account an appearing of the new phase of mankind i s proposed. The theory based on
physical phenomenological theories of phase transitions a nd classical equations for system predatory-
preys for two phases of mankind, take into account assumptio n about a multifractal nature of the
set of number of people in temporal axis and contains control parameters. The theory includes
scenario of destroying of existent now human population by n ew phase of humanity and scenario of
old and new phases co-existence. In particular cases when th e new phase of mankind is absent the
equations of theory may be formulated as equations of Kapitz a , Foerster, Hoerner, Kobelev and
Nugaeva, Johansen and Sornette phenomenological theories of growth of mankind.

I. INTRODUCTION
The problem of mankind population growth is one
of the global problems of the mankind existence and
its prosperity in the future. Will the demographic ex-
plosion existing now at the mankind population of the
whole world stops and what will be after its stopping?
Almost all the phenomenological theories of future of
mankind ( see [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) include the time of
demographic transition t0. Before this time the growth
of mankind population is very large ( hyperbolic or ex-
ponential growth), after this time the population growth
may practically absent [3] or may be regulated by driving
parameters [4] that govern the development of mankind
(such parameters are present in non-linear open systems
(see [6]). Thus the time point t0(the time of demographic
transition) is very essential for the future of mankind.
What is biological and physical senses of the demographic
transition time? The mankind as the whole is a very large
system and its behavior can be described by methods of
nonlinear dynamic, probability theory or statistical the-
ory of open system using the methods of fractal geometry
( [7], [8], or power laws [5]) . Now put the question: how
the demographical transition time may be treated from
these points of view? There are many different ways to
answer on this question. In this paper we consider the
demographic transition time as a point of a phase tran-
sition, i.e. the point of transition of mankind in a new
phase ( in physiological, psychological, behaviour and so
on senses). What this phase will be if it may exist? Will
be the population of men of the new phase friendly to
the old phase of mankind or will they fight with men of
the old phase and force out them from their ecological
niche? What scenario may exist and be admissible in
that case? It seems that if the driving parameters that
determine growth of the new phase ( thou it is difficultnow to select the main of them, it is the tusk for many
research groups ) will the same as now the new phase
may diminish the old phase of mankind very soon. We
would remind that all phenomenological theories give for
the time t0the time in first part of twenty one century.
If the treating of time t0as a point of phase transition
is correct and has relation to existence of humanity , the
embryos of the new phase must appear ( as it well known
from theory of phase transitions in physics) before the
time of demographic transition , i.e. in very near time.
What role they will play in the life of mankind society
and what it will be like? Will the new phase consist of
international groups of islam terrorist and the fight and
wars spread to the whole world? Or it will international
groups of corrupted officials that for own prosperity gov-
ern the whole world to its death? May be the groups of
sexual minorities will became the main part of mankind
and diminish it ? Will the new phase characteristics lay
in psychological (i.e. behaviour) domain or it lay in the
physiological domain ( may be it is incurable genetics
diseases or mental disorders reasoned by increasing radi-
ation in our world)? Are the Russian revolution in 1917
year or the Germany fascist state in 1933 year are the
examples of appearing of such phases? May be the vic-
tory of progressive mankind in the World War IIand
collapse of socialist system in Soviet Union are results
only the fact that the demographic time transition is not
come? It seems, the search of answers on these questions
is the one of main tusks of governments and research de-
mographical gropes of developed countries in near time.
We consider in this paper only one way of mathemat-
ical analysis and description of two phases of mankind
(the old phase and the new phase) and describe time be-
haviour of these phases by system of differential equa-
tions that are Volterra-Lotka equations for system of
1predatory-prey.
II. EQUATIONS FOR DESCRIBING TWO
PHASES MANKIND TIME BEHAVIOUR
There are two simplest ways (physical and biological)
for describing time dependence of two phases (the old
and the new) of mankind :
1. In physics the phenomenological theory of phase tran-
sitions was developed by Landau (see [9]). Theory of
phase transitions as appearing of order parameters de-
veloped by Ginzburg-Landau [10]. These theory may be
used for describing time behaviour of two phases. From
physical point of view the transition from the old phase
of mankind to the new phase may: a) take very short
time (as transition of water to ice); b) take long time
and has intermediate state when two phases of mankind
will co-existent (as in the transition to superconductive
state for superconductors of second order);c) be charac-
terized by stretched in time axes phase transition as in
some ferroelectrics. The differences of these cases de-
termined by characteristics of the small embryos gropes
of new phase and their interaction with the old phase
of mankind. If interaction between men of old and new
phases will attract the man of old phase to transition to
the new phase (we will call such interaction as ”nega-
tive” ), the transition time will be small and co-existent
of two phases of mankind for the long time period is im-
possible. Probably the evidences of such transitions are
the above examples of Russian revolution of 1917 year
and fascist Germany state of 1933 year. If result of in-
teraction of men of the old phase with gropes of men of
the new phase will neutral, i.e. men of old phase will
not be attracted by embryos of new phase ( ”positive”
interaction), amount of new the phase will increase and
co-existence of new and old phases is possible. The time
of coexistence determined by govern parameters and se-
lected mathematical models.
2. The biological point of view on behavior of mankind
allows to use many mathematical models for describing of
time behaviour of old and new mankind phases. In this
paper we see only simple predatory-prey models where
the old phase of mankind will be prey and the new phase
will be predatory.
III. EQUATIONS OF WOLTERRA-LOTKA FOR
OLD AND NEW PHASES MANKIND
POPULATION
Let us designate the old phase of mankind by N1(t)
and the new phase of mankind by N2(t) where tis cur-
rent time. Equations of Volterra-Lotka type is well re-
searched. It is well considered the time behaviour of thepredatory and the prey populations (including time be-
haviour populations near the point of demographic tran-
sition t0where fluctuations play important role). So we
only write these equations and mark the main conse-
quences of mathematical theories. Let for time dtthe old
phase changes are cNν
1dt−γN1N2dt( the second member
is the result of diminishing character of influences (inter-
actions) between the old and the new phases) and new
phase changes are −δN2dt+bN1N2dt. The equations for
N1(t) and N2(t) may be written in this case as
∂
∂tN1(t) =cNν
1(t)−γN1(t)N2(t) (1)
∂
∂tN2(t) =−δN2(t) +bN1(t)N2(t) (2)
where c, b, δ, γ are constant and defined by selections of
considered models. These equations are Volterra equa-
tions for ν= 1 and are Lotka equations for ν= 0. The
humanity phases N1andN2in (1),(2) have links and de-
termine one another.
In the case when populations of the old phase and the
new phase are multifractal sets on the time axes (see [4])
equations (1) and (2) read
Dβ
0,tN1(t) =cNν
1(t)−γN1(t)N2(t) (3)
Dµ
0,tN2(t) =−δN2(t) +bN1(t)N2(t) (4)
where Dβ
0,tandDµ
0,tare Riemann-Liouville fractional
derivatives or generalized Riemann-Liouville derivative s
(see [4])and βandµare fractional numbers or functions
of govern parameters.
The equations (1) and (2) may be considered as the base
equations of rude bioligical models for describing future
population of mankind if there are exist two phases of
mankind and sets of N1andN2are sets of population
of old and new phases . As well known the equations
of such type ( type of Volterra-Lotka equations) may be
generalized and wrote in more general form ( form of
Kolmogorov-Fokker-Plank equations for probability den-
sityw(N1, N2, t) to find in moment tthe populations
N1andN2in the considered system [12], [13], or may
be considered the case when influences N2on behaviors
ofN1included only at the bound time intervals and so
on). These generalized equations are wide spread and
give many known models have used not only in biology
( [14]), but in economics ( [15]), non linear physics, the-
oretical chemistry and so on. In the next part of paper
we write more detailed description of results of interac-
tions between two mankind phases N11 and N2based
on well known researches of equations of such type. For
case when in above equations there are only one phase
N1, andν= 0 and coefficient cis function of time and t0
(c=c(t, t0) it is not difficult to chose c(t, t0) in the sim-
ple forms and as special cases receive the base equations
of work [3], [4], [5].
2IV. HOW WILL INTERACT OLD AND NEW
MANKIND PHASES?
The mathematical research of solutions characteristics
of equations (1)-(2) or more general equations taking into
account the fluctuations is well worked out (see for ex-
ample [13]. As was pointed out these equations may be
written for mean values of N1andN2or in the form
of govern equations for probability w(N1, N2, t) to find
the system in the moment twith values N1andN2, or
in the form of Kolmogorov- Fokker-Plank equations that
are consequences of governor equations. The influences
of noises and fluctuations( depending at c, b, δ, γ ) on the
behaviour of system may be taken into account too. More
complicated equations may be written for case when the
phase N2may part of her time have ”a rest time” and
in that rest time do not interact with the phase N1. So
we omit the process of receiving of solutions for different
systems of equations describing interaction between old-
new phases and only describe main results:
1. Possibility of co-existence between old and new phases
with periodical changing of value of N1andN2;
2. Possibility for diminishing of one phase by other phase
that depends at the initial values;
3. Possibility for calculation of mean values of N1and
N2in one of system states;
4. Possibility for calculation of time existence texfor
old or new phases if take into account by including in
the main equations (or changing the main equation by
its Fokker-Plank probability analogies equations) exter-
nal or internal noises ( additive or multiplicative);
5. Possibility of description of fluctuation characteristi cs
of kinetic variables near bifurcation points;
6. Possibility of researching of noises role in losing sta-
bility of stationary state or in different self-excited osci l-
lations states;
7. Possibility of determination of conditions for stochas-
tic regimes appearing in system;
8. Possibility of governing by processes of fighting or co-
existence between old and new phases;
9. Possibility of using more complicated models and
equations including fractal characteristics of mankind
population distribution on the time axis.
10. Possibility of selection of different variants for gover n
parameters based on experimental sociological dates and
so on.
Thus the predatory-prey models and its equations give
rich possibilities for researching of the behavior of two
phases of mankind. Has this assumption about appearing
of two mankind phases relation to problem of future prop-
agation of mankind? The future propagation of mankind
will gives answer on this question, but if it assumption is
correct it is time now to find the new phase (or phases)
and determine (or make attempts to determine) is it one
or other phases useful for future of mankind or not useful.V. CONCLUSIONS
As one of advantages to use the equations (1)-(2) for
describing demographic problems (with some of them the
mankind already has confronted now and may be these
problems are consequences of appearing the embryos of
new phase of mankind ) we shall stress an opportunity
of insert and account in the theory many factors (such
as, incurable illnesses, natural cataclysmic etc.) definin g
future of mankind as a result of influences the control pa-
rameters included in the govern parameters of predatory-
prey models and fractional dimensions .
There are three main scenario of models based on equa-
tions type of (1)-(2):
a) Two phases of mankind co-existent during long time
with periodically changes its values and with mean val-
uesN1=δb−1andN2=cγ−1conserves in bound limits
if population fluctuations may be omitted;
b) Mankind population lost its stability as the result of
fluctuation influences if the equations of Lotta type used;
c)The old mankind phase has bound time of existence
and this time may by calculated if parameters of theory
are defined .
The main purpose of this paper was to analyze possibil-
ity of introducing of two mankind’s population phases
after demographic transition time. Driving parameters
included in the considered models (equations of Landau-
Ginzburg time theory or equations of predatory-prey
type) of the phenomenological theories of the mankind
population in the frame of physical Landau or Ginzburg-
Landau models or biological predatory-prey models. The
predatory-prey type models was chosen asan example.
The change of number of mankind (described in the
framework of phenomenological theories of the popula-
tion) can be adjusted by such choice of control param-
eters with concrete contents of dependencies of them at
which the mankind will has stability time and population
will grow so slowly, that overpopulation and the problems
connected with fighting between two mankind phases will
do not arise in the foreseen future. Stress now as was
done in [5] that after demographic transition time also
the type of economical development of humankind may
be changed .

Abstract
We propose and analyze the possibility of performing two-photon continuous-
wave Doppler-cooling of hydrogen atoms using the 1 S−2Stransition.
“Quenching” of the 2 Slevel (by coupling with the 2 Pstate) is used to increase
the cycling frequency, and to control the equilibrium tempe rature. Theoreti-
cal and numerical studies of the heating effect due to Doppler -free two-photon
transitions evidence an increase of the temperature by a fac tor of two. The
equilibrium temperature decreases with the effective (quenching dependent)
width of the excited state and can thus be adjusted up to value s close to the
recoil temperature.
Typeset using REVT EX
1Laser cooling of neutral atoms has been a most active researc h field for many years now,
producing a great deal of new physics. Still, the hydrogen at om, whose “simple” structure
has lead to fundamental steps in the understanding of quantu m mechanics, has not yet been
laser-cooled. The recent experimental demonstration of th e Bose-Einstein condensation of
H adds even more interest on laser cooling of hydrogen [1]. On e of the main difficulties
encountered in doing so is that all transitions starting fro m the ground state of H fall in the
vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range (121 nm for the 1 S−2Ptransition), a spectral domain
where coherent radiation is difficult to generate. In 1993, M. Allegrini and E. Arimondo have
suggested the laser cooling of hydrogen by two-photon πpulses on the 1 S−3Stransition
(wavelength of 200 nm for two-photon transitions) [2]. Sinc e then, methods for generation
of CW, VUV, laser radiation have considerably improved, and have been extensively used
in metrological experiments [3]. This technical progress a llows one to realistically envisage
the two-photon Doppler cooling (TPDC) of hydrogen in the continuous wave regime, in
particular for the 1 S−2Stwo-photon transition.
Laser cooling relies on the ability of the atom to perform a gr eat number of fluorescence
cycles in which momentum is exchanged with the radiation fiel d. It is well known that 2 S
is a long-lived metastable state, with a lifetime approachi ng one second. From this point
of view, the 1 S−2Stwo-photon transition is not suitable for cooling. On the ot her hand,
the minimum temperature achieved via Doppler cooling is pro portional to the linewidth of
the excited level involved on the process [4], a result that w ill be shown to be also valid for
TPDC. From this point of view 2 Sis an interesting state.
In order to conciliate these antagonistic properties of the 1S−2Ptransition, we consider
in the present work the possibility of using the “quenching” [5] of the 2 Sstate to control
the cycling frequency of the TPDC process. For the sake of sim plicity, we work with a one-
dimensional model. We write rate equations describing TPDC on the 1 S−2Stransition
in presence of quenching. The quenching ratio is considered as a free parameter, allowing
control of the equilibrium temperature. The cooling method is then in principle limited only
by photon recoil effects.
2We also develop analytical approaches to the problem. A Fokk er-Planck equation is
derived, describing the dynamics of the process for tempera tures well above the recoil tem-
perature Tr(corresponding to the kinetic energy acquired by an atom in e mitting a photon).
A numerical analysis of the dynamics of the cooling process c ompletes our study.
Let us consider a hydrogen atom of mass Mand velocity vparallel to the z-axis (Fig. 1)
interacting with two counterpropagating waves of angular f requency ωLwith 2 ωL=ω0+δ,
where ω0/2π= 2.5×1014Hz is the frequency corresponding to the transition 1 S→2S,
and also define the quantity k≃2kL= 2ωL/c. The shift of velocity corresponding to
the absorption of two-photons in the same laser wave is ∆ = ¯ hk/M = 3.1 m/s. We will
neglect the frequency separation between 2 Sand 2Pstates (the Lamb shift – which is of
order of 1.04 GHz) and consider that the one-photon spontane ous desexcitation from the 2 P
states also shifts the atomic velocity of ∆ randomly in the + zor−zdirection. Note that
Tr=M∆2/kB≈1.2 mK for the considered transition ( kBis the Boltzmann constant). We
neglect the photo-ionization process connecting the excit ed states to the continuum. This
is justified by the 1 /Edecreasing of the continuum density of states as a function o f their
energy Eand by the fact that a monochromatic laser couples the excite d levels only to a
very small range of continuum levels.
The atom is subjected to a controllable quenching process th at couples the 2 Sstate
to the 2 Pstate (linewidth Γ 2P= 6.3×108s−1). The adjustable quenching rate is Γ q.
Four two-photon absorption process are allowed: i) absorption of two photons from the
+z-propagating wave (named wave “+” in what follows), with a ra te Γ1and corresponding
to the a total atomic velocity shift of +∆; ii) absorption of two photons from the −z-
propagating wave (wave “ −”), with a rate Γ −1and atomic velocity shift of −∆;iii) the
absorption of a photon in the wave “+” followed by the absorpt ion of a photon in the wave
“−”, with no velocity shift and iv) the absorption of a photon in the wave “ −” followed by
the absorption of a photon in the wave “+”, with no velocity sh ift. The two latter process
are indistinguishable, and the only relevant transition ra te is that obtained by squaring the
sum of the amplitudes of these process (called Γ 0). Also, these process are “Doppler-free”
3(DF) as they are insensitive to the atomic velocity (to the fir st order in v/c) and do not shift
the atomic velocity. Thus, they cannot contribute to the coo ling process. As atoms excited
by the DF process must eventually spontaneously decay to the ground state, this process
heats the atoms. In the limit of low velocities, the transition amp litude for each of the
four processes is the same. One thus expects the DF transitio ns to increase the equilibrium
temperature by a factor of two.
We can easily account for the presence of the quenching by int roducing an effective
linewidth of the excited level (which, due to the quenching p rocess, is a mixing of the 2 S
and 2Plevels) given by
Γe= Γ2PΓq
Γq+ Γ2P=gΓ2P (1)
withg≡Γq/(Γq+ Γ2P). This approximation is true as far as the quenching ratio is much
greater than the width of the 2 Sstate (note that this range is very large, as the width of
the 2Sstate is about 10−8times that of the 2 Pstate).
The two-photon transition rates [6] are given by:
Γn= Γ2Pg
2(1 + 3 δn0)¯I2
(¯δ−nKV)2+g2/4(2)
where n={−1,0,1}describes, respectively, the absorption from the “ −” wave, DF transi-
tions, and the absorption from the “+” wave. ¯I≡I/Iswhere Isis the two-photon saturation
intensity, ¯δis the two-photon detuning divided by Γ 2P,K≡k∆/Γ2P= 0.26 and V≡v/∆.
The rate equations describing the evolution of the velocity distribution n(V, t) and
n∗(V, t) for, respectively, atoms in the ground and in the excited le vel are thus
∂n(V, t)
∂t=−[Γ−1(V) + Γ 0+ Γ1(V)]n(V, t) +Γe

The deduction of the above equations is quite straightforwa rd (cf. Fig 1). The first term
in the right-hand side of Eq. (3a) describes the depopulatio n of the ground-state velocity
4classVby two-photon transitions, whereas the second term describ es the repopulation of
the same velocity class by spontaneous decay from the excite d level. In the same way, the
three first terms in the right-hand side of Eq. (3b) describe t he repopulation of the excited
state velocity class Vby two-photon transition, and the last term the depopulatio n of this
velocity class by spontaneous transitions. For each term, w e took into account the velocity
shift ( V→V±1) associated with each transition and supposed that sponta neous emission
is symmetric under spatial inversion.
For moderate laser intensities, one can adiabatically elim inate the population of excited
level. This is valid far from the saturation of the two-photo n transitions and reduces the
Eqs. (3a-3b) to one equation describing the evolution of the ground-state population:

Eq.(4) is in fact a set of linear ordinary differential equati ons coupling the populations of
velocity classes separated by an integer: V, V±1, V±2,· · ·. This discretization exists only
in the 1-D approach considered here, but it does not significa ntly affect the conclusions of
our study, while greatly simplifying the numerical approac h.
Eqs.(4) can be recast as dn/dt=Cn,where Cis a square matrix and nis the vector
(· · ·n(−i, t),· · ·n(0, t), n(1, t),· · ·). Numerically, the equilibrium distribution is obtained i n
a simple way as the eigenvector neqofCwith zero eigenvalue. In this way, the asymptotic

Fig. 2 shows the equilibrium distribution obtained by numer ical simulation for ¯δ=−0.25
andg= 1/3. The dotted curve corresponds to the distribution obtaine d by artificially
suppressing DF transitions (i.e., by setting Γ 0= 0). As we pointed out earlier, the DF
transitions lead to a heating effect. Doppler cooling is effici ent mainly for atoms distributed
5on a range of g/Karound the velocity V=±|¯δ|/K[4] whereas Doppler-free transitions are
independent of the velocity; all velocity classes are thus a re affected by the heating. As a
consequence, DF transitions induce a deformation of the vel ocity profile, specially for small
values of gand¯δ, superimposing a sharp peak of cold atoms on a wide backgroun d of “hot”
atoms. In what follows, all numerically calculated-temper atures are deduced form the width
of the thin peak of cold atoms.
Eqs. (3a) and (3b) or Eq. (4) have no exact solution. However, using some reasonable
hypothesis, it is possible to develop analytical approache s. The most usual of these ap-
proaches is to derive from the above equations a Fokker-Plan ck equation (FPE) describing
the evolution of the velocity distribution. The derivation of the FPE for two-photon cool-
ing follows the standard lines that can be found in the litera ture (see [7]). If |V| ≫1 the
coefficients in the resulting equation can be expanded up to se cond order in 1 /|V|(this is
the so-called hypothesis of small jumps ). Moreover, if K|V| ≪ |¯δ|, gthe resulting expression
can be expanded up to the order V. The resulting FPE reads
∂n
∂t= 2¯Γ′∂(V n)
∂V+/parenleftbigg
2¯Γ +Γ0
2/parenrightbigg∂2n
∂V2(6)
where ¯Γ≡Γ−1(0) = Γ 0/4 and ¯Γ′is the V-derivative of Γ −1evaluated at V= 0. Multiplying
this equation by V2and integrating over Vone easily obtains:
d/an}bracketle{tV2/an}bracketri}ht
dt=−4¯Γ′/an}bracketle{tV2/an}bracketri}ht+/parenleftBig
4¯Γ + Γ 0/parenrightBig
(7)
As/an}bracketle{tV2/an}bracketri}ht=T/T r, this equation shows that the characteristic relaxation ti me is (4 ¯Γ′)−1=
(gΓ2P¯I2¯δK)/(4¯δ2+g2).
The equilibrium temperature is then given by
T
Tr=2¯Γ + Γ 0/2
2¯Γ′=¯δ2+g2/4
K|¯δ|(8)
This results confirms that the Doppler-free two-photon tran sitions, corresponding to the
contribution Γ 0/2 = 2 ¯Γ in Eq. (8) increase the equilibrium temperature (at least i n the
range of validity of the FPE) by a factor 2. This fact can also b e verified from the numerical
6simulations, as shown in Fig. 3, where the dotted curve corre sponds to the temperature
obtained without DF transitions. As in one-photon Doppler- cooling, the equilibrium tem-
perature is independent of the laser intensity (but the time need to achieve cooling obviously
increases as the laser intensity diminishes).
Note that the range of validity of the FPE is |V| ≫1. It thus fails when the temperature
approaches the recoil temperature (or, in other words, |V| ≈1). Fig. 4 shows the dependence
of the equilibrium temperature as a function of the detuning for different values of parameter
g. The minimum temperature is clearly reduced by the decreasi ng of g, up to values close
to the recoil temperature Tr. Moreover, the figure shows that the minimum temperature
generally agrees with the theoretical predictions: it is go verned bothby the effective linewidth
gof the excited state andby the detuning, the optimum value being ¯δ≈ −g/2 (in the range
of validity of the FPE). A reasonably good agreement between numerical data and the FPE
prediction within its range of validity is also observed.
Let us finally note that an interesting practical possibilit y is to change the quenching
parameter as the cooling process proceeds. One starts with a high value of gin order to
rapidly cool the atoms to a few recoil velocities. Then, the q uenching parameter andthe
detuning are progressively decreased, achieving temperat ures of order of the recoil temper-
ature. A detail study of the procedure optimizing the final te mperature is however out of
the scope of the present paper.
In conclusion, we have suggested and analyzed, both analyti cally and numerically, the
using of 1 S−2Stwo-photon transition together with the quenching of the 2 S-state to cool
hydrogen atoms to velocities approaching the recoil limit. The quenching ratio gives an
additional, dynamically controllable parameter.

We present linear response theories in the continuum capabl e of describing photoionization spec-
tra and dynamic polarizabilities of finite systems with no sp atial symmetry. Our formulations are
based on the time-dependent local density approximation wi th uniform grid representation in the
three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate. Effects of the con tinuum are taken into account either with
a Green’s function method or with a complex absorbing potent ial in a real-time method. The two
methods are applied to a negatively charged cluster in the sp herical jellium model and to some small
molecules (silane, acetylene and ethylene).

I. INTRODUCTION
Oscillator strength distribution characterizes the opti-
cal response of atoms and molecules. Advances in mea-
surements with synchrotron radiation and high resolution
electron energy loss spectroscopy have enabled us to ob-
tain oscillator strength distribution of a whole spectral
region originated from valence electrons [1]. The photon
energy dependences of molecular photoelectron spectra
have also been measured. They provide useful informa-
tion about the dynamics of the photoionization processes.
Theoretical analysis of photoabsorption spectra above
the first ionization threshold requires continuum elec-
tronic wave function in a non-spherical multi-center po-
tential. Several methods have been developed for this
purpose [2], including the continuum multiple scatter-
ing method [3], the Schwinger variational method [4,5],
finite-volume variational method [6], the linear algebraic
method [7], and the K-matrix method [8]. The Stieltjes
moment method does not directly utilize the scattering
state but extract continuum spectrum from the spectral
moments which are calculated with a square-integrable
basis set [9]. The method has been extensively applied
to large systems [10,11]. The complex basis method also
gives continuum spectra by the calculation with a square-
integrable basis set [12].
The purpose of the present article is to present alter-
native theoretical methods for the continuum spectra of
molecules. Our methods rely upon the linear response
theory in the time-dependent local-density approxima-
tion (TDLDA) and employ a uniform grid representation
in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate.
The TDLDA (or alternatively called the time-
dependent density-functional theory) is an extension ofthe static density-functional theory to describe electron ic
dynamics under a time-dependent external field [13]. In
the practical applications, an adiabatic approximation
is usually assumed: the same exchange-correlation po-
tential as that in the static case is used for the time-
dependent problem. The correlation effect is included
through the dynamical screening which is represented
by an induced local potential. In the TDLDA, the con-
tinuum boundary condition was treated with the radial
Green’s function for spherical systems such as atoms [14]
and clusters in the spherical jellium model [15,16]. The
importance of the dynamical screening effect on the con-
tinuum response has been stressed. The method has
been extended for molecules with a single-center expan-
sion technique [17]. However, the application was limited
to small, axially symmetric molecules.
Since the Hamiltonian in the Kohn-Sham theory is al-
most diagonal in coordinate representation, a grid rep-
resentation in the coordinate space provides an econom-
ical description. A uniform grid representation in the
three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate which has been
developed by Chelikowsky et.al [18] provides a conve-
nient basis for our purpose. The problem is then how
to incorporate the scattering boundary condition in the
uniform grid representation.
Our first method is based on the real-time method
which one of the present authors has recently devel-
oped to calculate dynamic polarizability of finite systems
[19,20]. In the method, the time-dependent Kohn-Sham
equation is solved explicitly in real-time as well as in real -
space with a uniform grid. The dynamic polarizability of
a whole spectral region is then obtained at once through
the time-frequency Fourier transformation. An advan-
tage of this method is that we do not need to handle

1matrices of very large dimensionality, since only a single
Slater determinant is evolved in time. A drawback is that
the single-particle continuum states cannot be treated ex-
actly because the electrons are confined in a limited size
of box (model space). A possible way to avoid the diffi-
culty would be employing a complex absorbing potential
at the end of the box, which we shall discuss later.
Our second method is based on the modified Stern-
heimer method [21]. The method has been widely used
in the linear response calculations [22,23]. It recasts the
response problem into solving the static Schr¨ odinger-typ e
equation with a source term. The problem is then to solve
the equation with an appropriate outgoing boundary con-
dition. Our recipe here is to solve iteratively the equa-
tion taking into account the boundary condition employ-
ing a Green’s function of a spherical potential, separating
the self-consistent potential into long range spherical an d
short range non-spherical parts.
The paper is organized as follows. We present our
methods in Sec. II. The real-time method with an
absorptive boundary potential and the Green’s function
method are explained. In Sec. III, applications of the
methods will be demonstrated. First the spherical jel-
lium cluster is considered to confirm reliability of our
methods. We then show calculations of photoabsorption
spectra of some small molecules and compare them with
measurements. We give interpretation of the obtained
spectra. Finally conclusion are drawn in Sec. IV.
II. LINEAR RESPONSE IN THE CONTINUUM
OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL REAL SPACE
A. Real-time method with an absorbing potential
In this section we first recapitulate the real-time
method in TDLDA [19,24]. For systems with relatively
large number of particles, the real-time method is one
of the most efficient method to calculate the electronic
excitations in molecules and atomic clusters.
The TDLDA equations for a spin-independent N-
electron system are given in terms of the time-dependent
Hamiltonian h(t) which is a functional of the density
n(r,t).

We adopt ¯h= 1 throughout the present paper. Vionis
an electron-ion potential for which we employ a norm-conserving pseudopotential [25] with a separable approx-
imation [26]. µxcis an exchange-correlation potential.
We represent the electronic wave function on a uni-
form grid points inside a certain spatial area [18]. All
potentials in Eq. (2.2) are diagonal in this representation
except for the nonlocal part of Vion. The second order dif-
ferential operator in the kinetic energy is approximated
employing a nine-point formula. For the time evolution,
we use an algorithm developed in Ref. [27] which utilize a
predictor-corrector method. The integration of Eq. (2.1)
is approximately carried out with a fourth-order Taylor
expansion.:
φi(t+ ∆t) =e−ih(t+∆t/2)∆tφi(t)
≈4/summationdisplay
n=0(−ih(t+ ∆t/2)∆t)n
n!φi(t).(2.4)
For stable iteration, the time step ∆ tshould be smaller
than the inverse of the maximum eigenvalue of the Hamil-
tonian. The energy and the particle-number conserva-
tions are then well satisfied. This method was successful
in nuclear physics to investigate the dynamics of nuclear
reaction [27,28] and has been proved to be fruitful for
electron systems as well [19,24].
We start with the static LDA problem solving the
ground-state Kohn-Sham equations and determine the
initial occupied orbitals φi(r) and density n0(r). The
conjugate gradient method is used to solve the static
Kohn-Sham equation. Then, an external field is turned
on instantaneously at t= 0. In this paper, we shall con-
sider only the dipole response, adopting Vext=k0rνδ(t)
(ν=x,y,z ) which produces an initial state for the time
evolution as
φi(r,0+) =e−ik0rνφi(r), ν=x,y,z. (2.5)
We calculate time evolution with this initial condition
without any external fields. The dynamical polarizabili-
ties in the time representation is then obtained as
αν(t) =−e2
k0/integraldisplay
d3rrνδn(r,t), ν=x,y,z, (2.6)
where the transition density is simply given by the dif-
ference from that of the ground-state
δn(r,t) =n(r,t)−n0(r). (2.7)
Since the dynamical polarizability is usually defined in
the energy representation, we take the Fourier transform
of Eq. (2.6).
αν(ω) =/integraldisplayT
0dtαν(t)eiωt−Γt/2, ν=x,y,z, (2.8)
where we introduce a smoothing parameter Γ. In order
to obtainα(ω) in energy resolution of Γ, we need to cal-
culate the time evolution up to T≥2π/Γ. In the next
2section, we discuss a gas-phase average of the x,yandz
direction, as
α(ω) = 1/3/summationdisplay
ν=x,y,zαν(ω). (2.9)
When the energy is in a region where ω+ǫi>0, a
part of the electron wave functions φi(r,t) can escape to
the continuum. This outgoing part of wave function is
eventually reflected at the edge of the box and produces a
spurious discrete structure in the photoabsorption spec-
tra. Therefore, we now introduce an imaginary absorb-
ing potential W(r) to suppress the reflection and mimic
the continuum. Since the imaginary potential should be
zero in a region where the ground-state density has a
finite value, we should adopt a spherical box of large ra-
dius and the imaginary potential is switched on only in a
outer shell of width ∆ r. Although the complex potential
at the edge of the box slightly violates normalization and
energy conservation, the box must be large enough to
preserve the conservations if the time evolution is carried
out using an initial state of Eq. (2.5) with k0= 0 (the
ground state).
We adopt an absorptive potential of a linear depen-
dence on coordinate, which has been discussed in the
wave-packet method for molecular collisions [29,30]:
W(r) =/braceleftbigg0 for 0 <r<R,
−iW0r−R
∆rforR<r<R + ∆r.(2.10)
The height W0and width ∆ rmust be carefully chosen
to prevent the reflection. There has been an argument
based on the WKB theory to elucidate a condition of no
reflection [29,30].
For simplicity, let us take a one-dimensional system.
The absorbing potential is given by a form similar to Eq.
(2.10):W(x) = 0 forx<0 andW(x) =−iW0x/∆xfor
x>0. The WKB solution is
ψ(x) = exp(ikx) +Rexp(−ikx) forx<0,(2.11)

Conditions we require are |R|2≪1 (no reflection) and
|ψ(∆x)| ≪1 (complete absorption). A continuity condi-
tion for a derivative at x= 0 leads to
R≈W0

10∆r√
8mE3/2, (2.15)
where ∆xhas been replaced by ∆ r. This is the condi-
tion discussed in Ref. [30] which we shall test with nu-
merical calculations. Strictly speaking, the conditions,
|R|2<0.001 and |ψ(∆x)|2<0.01, lead to a factor 18 .4
instead of 20 in the left hand side and 0 .128 instead of
1/10 in the right hand side. In actual real-time calcula-
tions, electrons with different energies are emitted simul-
taneously. Thus, ∆ randW0must be chosen properly ac-
cording to the energy spectrum of photoabsorption above
the ionization threshold.
B. Green’s function method with an outgoing
boundary condition
Exact treatment of the continuum is possible with the
use of a Green’s function. For spherical systems, the
Green’s function can easily be constructed by making
a multipole expansion and discretizing the radial coor-
dinate. The method was first applied to nuclear giant
resonances [31,32] and then applied to photoabsorption
in atoms [33,14]. In this section we present a method to
construct a Green’s function in the uniform grid repre-
sentation for a system without any spatial symmetry.
The linear response theory is formulated most conve-
niently using a density-density correlation function [34] .
The general formalism with local-density approximation
is given in the frequency representation [32,14]. The tran-
sition density, which corresponds to the Fourier trans-
form of Eq. (2.7), can be expressed with the use of the
independent-particle density-density correlation funct ion

whereV[n(r)] is a single-particle potential of the time-
independent version of Eq. (2.2), defined by h=
−∇2/2m+V. Although a part of Vis non-local, the
screening field arises from density-dependent parts of V,
the direct Coulomb and the exchange-correlation poten-
tials, which are local. The calculation neglecting the sec-
ond term of Eq. (2.17) will be called an ”independent-
particle approximation” (IPA) in the next section.

whereηis an infinitesimal positive parameter. The fac-
tor two in the right hand side of Eq. (2.18) is the spin
degeneracy of each single-particle state. Here the summa-
tion with respect to unoccupied states mcontains both
discrete and continuum states. Instead of taking the ex-
plicit summation, we may use the single-particle Green’s
function defined by

The sign determines a boundary condition of the Green’s
function; the (+) for a outgoing wave and the ( −) for an
incoming wave. In fact, the summation with respect to m
in Eq. (2.18) can be extended to all states because the
summation over the occupied states for the first term
will be canceled by a contribution from the second term.
Therefore, using Eq. (2.19), we can rewrite (2.18) as

where we assume that the occupied states have real wave

To calculate the dipole photoresponse of a system, one
should take Vext=rν,ν=x,y,z . Then, the dynamic
polarizability is given by
αν(ω) =−e2/integraldisplay
d3rrνδn(r,ω), ν=x,y,z. (2.21)
Since the number of spatial grid points is large, it is
not convenient and even impossible to construct explic-
itly the response function χ0(r,r′;ω) and to perform spa-
tial integration by summing up over grid points in solving
the self-consistent equations, Eqs. (2.16) and (2.17). We
can avoid the difficulty by converting the integral into the
equivalent differential equation. We introduce a function
ψi(r;E,Vscf)≡/integraldisplay
d3r′G(+)(r,r′;E)Vscf(r′)φi(r′).(2.22)

When the energy ωis far below the first ionization thresh-
old, all the outgoing channels are closed and Eq. (2.22)is equivalent to the Schr¨ odinger equation of energy E=
ǫi±ωwith a source term,
(E−h[n0])|ψi/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=Vscf|φi/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, (2.24)
assuming that the function /an}b∇acketleftr|ψi/an}b∇acket∇i}htoutside a box area van-
ishes. The integral in Eq. (2.22) is thus converted into a
linear algebraic equation (2.24). This procedure is known
as the modified Sternheimer method [21]. However, since
this cannot describe a correct asymptotic behavior of the
wave function, it is not applicable when the energy Eis
close to zero. Furthermore, when E >0, the method is
incapable to produce the continuum spectra.
Thus, the remaining task is to calculate ψi(r;E,Vscf)
defined by Eq. (2.22) under an appropriate outgoing
boundary condition. For this purpose, we employ an
integral equation for the Green’s function. We start
with a single-particle problem with a spherical poten-
tialV0(r). For instance, the Green’s function for free
particles (V0(r) = 0) has an analytic expression,
G(+)
0(r,r′;E) =−m
2πe+ik|r−r′|
|r−r′|, (2.25)
wherek=√
2mE(E >0). For a negative energy E <0,
exp(+ik|r−r′|) in Eq. (2.25) is replaced by exp( −κ|r−r′|)
withκ=√−2mE. The single-particle Green’s function
for a non-spherical (even non-local) potential V(r,r′)
then satisfies the following integral equation

ary condition of G(+)
0determines an asymptotic behavior
ofG(+). Substituting this into Eq. (2.22), we obtain a
multi-linear equations for ψi(r;E,Vscf),

side the box. We calculate Ψ( r;E) again by recasting
Eq. (2.28) into equivalent differential equation,

4In the discretization, this is a linear algebraic equation
for grid points inside the box area. However, the solu-
tion outside the box area is needed to apply the Lapla-
cian operator and should be prepared by other method.
We prepare it by a multipole expansion method. Noting
thatV0(r) is a central potential, G(+)
0can be expressed
in terms of the regular and irregular solutions of radial
Schr¨ odinger equation in the usual way.

chosen in the later calculations.
We must choose the V0(r) so as to make the poten-
tial˜V(r) =V(r)−V0(r) be negligible outside the box.
For neutral molecules, the attractive ionic potential is ap -
proximately canceled out by the repulsive direct Coulomb
term. However we will later employ a gradient-corrected
exchange potential which possesses a correct asymptotic
form of −e2/r. Therefore we use a jellium potential,
Eq. (3.1), with Z= 1 asV0(r). Thew(+)
l(r;E) in Eq.
(2.30) is an irregular Coulomb wave function with an
outgoing boundary condition. We use a FORTRAN77
program “COULCC” in Ref. [35] to calculate Coulomb
functions of complex energies. The ul(r,E) in Eq. (2.31)
is calculated by integrating the radial Schr¨ odinger equa-
tion with a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method.
We now summarize our procedure to solve the response
equation. Once an external field Vext(r,ω) is given, Equa-
tions (2.16) and (2.17) constitute a linear equation for
the transition density δn(r,ω). Discretizing on a uni-
form grid, we have a linear algebraic equation with di-
mensionality equal to the number of grid points. In or-
der to solve the equation, we need to calculate actions
of theχ0on some functions, which is equivalent to cal-
culate actions of the G(+).ψi(r;E,Vscf) is calculated by
solving another linear equation (2.27). In order to solve
Eq. (2.27), we need to calculate actions of the G(+)
0.
This operation is achieved by solving Eq. (2.29), again
discretizing on grid points. We note that the outgoing
boundary condition is imposed at this stage. The wave
function Ψ( r;E) outside the box is prepared by a multi-
pole expansion method, Eqs. (2.30) and (2.31). Solutions
of linear equations (2.16), (2.27) and (2.29) are obtained
by iterative methods. The iterative procedure is summa-
rized in Fig. 1.
Our algorithm thus requires to solve multiple nested
linear algebraic equations. Conjugate gradient (CG)
method and its variants offer stable and efficient scheme
to solve these equations. If the energy Eis real, Eq.(2.29) is a hermitian problem. Therefore, the CG method
is very powerful to solve the equation. However, if the
energy is complex, Eq. (2.29) becomes a non-hermitian
problem to which the CG method is not applicable. For
such cases, we adopt a Bi-conjugate gradient (Bi-CG)
method. To solve Eq. (2.27), we have tested different iter-
ative methods to this non-hermitian problem. We found
that a generalized conjugate residual (GCR) method is
one of the most effective algorithms for the present prob-
lem. For the outer most iteration loop of Eq. (2.23), we
use the GCR method again.

III. APPLICATIONS
A. Spherical jellium model for Na−
7: Test study
First we have carried out a calculation for a negatively-
charged Na cluster Na−
7. We use a spherical uniformly-
charged jellium potential for Vion(r). The jellium poten-
tial of radius RIis given by
Vion(r) =

forr≤RI,
−Ze2
rforr>R I,(3.1)
whereZeis a total charge of a jellium sphere. For the
Na−
7, we haveZ= 7 and eight valence electrons. The
main photoabsorption peak is calculated to be above the
ionization threshold. Thus, this would be a good test
case to study a response in the continuum and to check
the applicability of the theories in the previous section.
We discretize three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates
with spacing ∆ x= ∆y= ∆z= 1.5˚A and employ grid
5points inside a spherical box of radius R= 12 ˚A. This
is found enough for the ground-state density to be negli-
gible at the edge r=R. The number of mesh points is
2109. The TDLDA Hamiltonian is given by Eq. (2.2)
in which the exchange-correlation potential is that of
Ref. [36]:

Since the jellium potential for Na−
7is spherical, we can
use the same technique as that of Ref. [32,14] (a Fortran
program in Ref. [16]) and confirm that our methods pro-
vide the same results. The Green’s function is expanded
in partial waves and is given by

threshold energy by e2/R, but it is enough to check va-
lidity of our methodology. We also add a small imaginary
parameter Γ /2 to the frequency ω, which plays exactly
the same role as a smoothing parameter of the Fourier
transform in real-time method, Eq. (2.8). In this calcu-
lation, Γ = 0 .1 eV is used and the mesh size for radial
coordinate is as small as 0.1 ˚A.

FIG. 2. Imaginary (a) and real (b) part of dy-

Green’s function method. Solid lines are the results of
one-dimensional calculation of Ref. [16] of jellium sphere
and square symbols are those of the three-dimensional cal-
culation without assuming any symmetry. The smoothing
parameter Γ = 0 .1 eV is used for both calculations.For the three-dimensional Green’s function calculation,
in order to justify Eq. (2.26), a condition that ˜V(r)≈0
forr>R must be satisfied. We assume that the asymp-
totic behavior is the same as that of the (radial) one-
dimensional calculation. Namely, we adopt the Green’s
function of free particles, Eq. (2.25), with an energy be-
ing shifted as E→E−e2/R. We also use the same
smoothing parameter Γ = 0 .1 eV. It turns out that the
inclusion of Γ helps convergence of iterative procedure.
We show the results in Fig. 2. The three-dimensional
calculation has been done for a frequency range 0 <ω<
5 eV with a step ∆ ω= 0.1 eV. The solid lines are the re-
sults of one-dimensional calculation in which the Green’s
functions are expanded in the partial wave, Eq. (3.3).
The squares are the results of the three-dimensional cal-
culation which perfectly agree with the solid lines. This
means that the Green’s function method on the three-
dimensional mesh is able to take account properly of the
continuum effects.
The static calculation indicates the highest occupied
molecular orbital (HOMO) −0.37 eV, and a Coulomb
potential has a value e2/R= 1.2 eV at the edge of the
boxR= 12˚A. Thus, the ionization threshold is 1.57 eV
in this calculation. The figure indicates that the pho-
toabsorption has peaks below and above the threshold.
In the IPA calculation, we obtain a single peak at an en-
ergy 1.4 eV. The screening potential brings the peak into
the continuum region (around 2.35 eV) and splits the sin-
gle peak into two parts at the threshold. The summed
oscillator strengths for energies up to 5 eV correspond to
about 95% of the Thomas-Kuhn-Reiche (TRK) sum rule
for valence electrons.

absorptive potentials are chosen as (a) ∆ r= 6˚A with
W0= 2 eV, (b) ∆ r= 12˚A with W0= 1 eV, (c) ∆ r= 21
˚A with W0= 1 eV. The smoothing parameter Γ = 0 .1 eV
is used on the Fourier transform of Eq. (2.8).
6We now turn to the real-time method. A necessary size
of space is much larger than that of the Green’s function
method because the absorbing potential is set up in a
outer region R < r < R + ∆r. We prepare three kinds
of absorbing potentials in a linear form of Eq. (2.10): (a)
∆r= 6˚A withW0= 2 eV, (b) ∆ r= 12˚A withW0= 1
eV and (c) ∆ r= 21˚A withW0= 1 eV. Using a square
mesh of ∆x= ∆y= ∆z= 1.5˚A, the numbers of mesh
points are (a) 7153, (b) 17077, and (c) 44473, respec-
tively. We use a duration of time evolution T= 70 eV−1
with a time step ∆ t= 0.01 eV−1and a smoothing param-
eter Γ = 0.1 eV for the Fourier transform. Since we have
a complex potential at the edge of the box, the energy
is not strictly conserved but the scale of violation turns
out to be less than 0.1% for this calculation. The imag-
inary part of dynamic polarizability is shown in Fig. 3.
Parts (a), (b) and (c) correspond to the three cases de-
scribed above. For (a) and (b), the main resonance in
the continuum region looks like a superposition of three
different peaks which are located at ω≈2, 2.7 and 3.5
eV, respectively. However, since we cannot see the same
behavior in Fig. 2 (a), this should be a spurious effect of
the reflection of outgoing waves. This is confirmed by a
calculation of (c), for which the structure at ω >2.5 eV
is almost disappeared and we see only a smooth tail.
Now let us check the criterion of a good absorber, Eq.
(2.15). The position of the main peak is calculated at
Eres−Ethr= 2.35−1.57≈0.8 eV above the ionization
threshold. Using E=0.8 eV and (8 m)−1≈1 eV˚A2for
electrons, Eq. (2.15) reduces to
18(∆r)−1<|W0|<0.07∆r, (3.4)
whereW0in units of eV and ∆ rin˚A. This criterion is
satisfied for the case (c) but not for (a) and (b). Fig. 3
shows that the real-time method provides us with a cor-
rect response in the continuum if no reflection occurs at
the edge of the box. In order to find a suitable absorb-
ing potential (of a linear form), we find the criterion,
Eq. (2.15), very useful even when a condition W0/E≪1
is not satisfied.
B. Valence shell photoabsorption of silane
It is well known that the energy of the highest occupied
orbital does not coincide with the first ionization poten-
tial in the simplest local-density approximation. This
fact causes a serious problem for the continuum response
calculation that the ionization threshold cannot be ade-
quately described by the static Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian.
Furthermore, the excited states around the ionization
threshold appear in too low excitation energies. To rem-
edy this defect, a gradient correction for the exchange-
correlation potential has been proposed. We utilize the
one constructed by van Leeuven and Baerends [37] which
we denote as µ(LB). It is so constructed that the poten-
tial has a correct −e2/rtail asymptotically. The energyof the highest occupied orbital also approximately coin-
cides with the ionization potential. For small molecules,
TDLDA calculations with this gradient correction have
shown to give accurate description of discrete excitations
in small molecules [38].
In the following sections III B, III C and III D, we em-
ploy a sum of the exchange-correlation potentials of µ(PZ)
of Ref. [39] for the local-density part and µ(LB)for the
gradient correction. We should remark here that an ac-
curate calculation of the gradient correction µ(LB)(r) be-
comes difficult at far outside the molecule, because the
µ(LB)depends on |∇n(r)|/n(r)4/3which approaches to
finite but both the numerator and the denominator ap-
proaches to zero at r→ ∞. Thus, we use an explicit
asymptotic form, µ(LB)(r) =−e2/rforr > R c. In the
followings, the Rcis chosen as 6.5 ˚A for silane and 5.5 ˚A
for acetylene and ethylene.
When we evaluate the screening field in Eq. (2.17),
we neglect the functional derivative of µ(LB)(r) with re-
spect to the density because this should be a small cor-
rection. For the real-time calculation, we make the same
approximation. Namely the time-dependent exchange-
correlation potential is calculated by

In this section, we discuss the application of our tech-
niques to a deformed molecule, silane SiH 4. We use the
pseudopotentials which are calculated by the prescrip-
tions of Refs. [25,26]. For Si atom, we employ pseu-
dopotentials for s,p,d waves and take d-wave poten-
tial as a local part. For the hydrogen atom, we take
sandppotentials with the latter as a local potential.
The box is a sphere of radius R= 7˚A discretized in
meshes of ∆ x= ∆y= ∆z= 0.4˚A. Position of the Si
atom (nucleus) is located at the origin and four hydro-
gen atoms are at (1 .209,0.0,0.855), ( −1.209,0.0,0.855),
(0.0,1.209,−0.855), and (0 .0,−1.209,−0.855) in units of
˚A. The symmetry of this molecule belongs to the tetra-
hedral (Td) point group. The valence electronic orbitals
in the ground state are
(3a1)2,(2t2)6:1A1.
In actual calculations, we do not assume a priori the sym-
metry, but the degeneracies of electron orbitals according
to Eq. (III B) naturally emerge after the minimization of
the total energy. For this molecule, the dipole response
does not depend on the direction of an external field. A
smoothing parameter Γ = 0 .5 eV is used in the follow-
ings.
Utilizing the exchange-correlation potential of µ(PZ)+
µ(LB), the calculated occupied valence orbitals in the
ground state are listed in Table I. If we neglect the gra-
dient correction term µ(LB), we obtain −13.5 eV for 3a1
7and−8.3 eV for 2t2, respectively. The photoabsorption
oscillator strengths for silane calculated by means of the
Green’s function method are shown in Fig. 4. The oscil-
lator strength df/dω , the photoabsorption cross section
σ(ω), and the imaginary part of dynamic polarizability
Imα(ω), are related to each other by
σ(ω) =2π2e2

A sharp peak at 10 eV in the calculation consists of
bound discrete peaks overlapped by the width Γ. In the
experiment [43,44,1], we observe a peak at 10.7 eV, the
width of which is considered to originate from a cou-
pling of electronic excitation with ionic motion. Since we
fix the ion coordinates and calculate vertical electronic
excitations, we cannot describe the width below the ion-
ization threshold.
On the other hand, a broad peak at 14.6 eV in the ex-
periment is above the ionization threshold and the main
decay channel is an emission of the electron [43,1]. The
calculation well reproduces this peak although the energy
shifts slightly to the lower (14 eV). Beyond the peak of
14.6 eV, a group of tiny peaks is observed in the exper-
iment, which is assigned the Rydberg states with a hole
(3a1)−1embedded in the continuum. This fine structure
is smeared out in the calculation because the smoothing
parameter Γ is much larger than the width of each Ryd-
berg state. The integrated oscillator strengths for ener-
gies up to 30 eV is calculated to exhaust 87% of the TRK
sum rule for valence electrons. About 60% of the valence
shell strengths lie between 10 and 20 eV (Fig. 5 (b)).

calculation without dynamical screening. The smoothing
parameter Γ = 0 .5 eV is used in the calculation. Inset:
An energy region of 13 < ω < 15 eV is magnified and
the total oscillator strengths are decomposed into those
associated with different occupied valence electrons, 3 a1
(solid line) and 2 t2(dashed line).The screening field in Eq. (2.17) significantly reduces
a dipole polarizability at low frequency. The calculated
static dipole polarizability is 5.1 ˚A3while it is 7.9 ˚A3in
the IPA. The dielectric effects also change the absorption
spectra. The screening shifts the resonance energies to
higher energies because the electron-electron correlatio n
is repulsive. Roughly speaking, the IPA overestimates
the absorption spectra at low frequency and underesti-
mates at high frequency. As you see in Fig. 4, the di-
electric effects are very important to reproduce the mag-
nitude and shape of the photoresponse.
In order to discuss details of each resonance, it is useful
to calculate a partial oscillator strength of each occupied
orbital which should be identified with a photoemission
spectra if the neutral dissociation channel without elec-
tron emission is negligibly small. As we see in Ref. [14],
the photoabsorption cross section can be written as a
sum of contributions from all occupied orbitals. Here we

Below the ionization threshold, there are three bound
transitions in our calculations which we find are associ-
ated with the excitations of 2 t2valence electrons. The
first two transitions are considered to correspond to the
shoulders in the measurements [44,45] and interpreted as
transitions to the Rydberg states. The broad resonance
at 14 eV (14.6 eV in experiment) is above the ioniza-
tion threshold of the 2 t2orbitals. Therefore, the struc-
ture may be more complex. An inset of Fig. 4 shows
the partial oscillator strengths of 3 a1and 2t2orbitals
in a photon-energy region of 13 to 15 eV. The calcula-
tion suggests that the resonance structure is due to the
bound-to-bound excitation of 3 a1electrons. The exci-
tation couples with the bound-to-continuum excitations
of 2t2electrons through the dynamical screening effect.
The coupling shifts the excitation energy up by about 1
eV and brings about the width due to the autoionization
process. The partial cross section of 2 t2electrons also
acquires oscillation as a function of the excitation energy
due to the rapid change of the induced field.
Now let us examine the applicability of the real-time
method. The time step is chosen as ∆ t= 0.002 eV−1
and the time evolution is calculated up to T= 12 eV−1.
We show the results in Fig. 5 (a). The bound excited
states is reasonably described in the calculation. On the
other hand, the calculation without an absorbing poten-
tial (thin line) apparently provides a wrong response in
the continuum region. We must adopt an imaginary po-
tential to remove several spurious resonances. However,
it is very difficult to treat the ionization energy properly.
In order to mimic the continuum, the absorber should
be effective only for a outgoing electron with positive en-
ergy. The problem is that the static potential has −e2/r
behavior at large r. Electrons with negative energies
(−e2/R < E < 0) may be absorbed by the imaginary
potential. Therefore, the effective ionization potential
becomes −ǫHOMO −e2/Rfor this calculation. Taking
R= 7˚A, this shift in the ionization potential amounts
to about 2 eV. The calculated peak in the continuum is
located atω= 14 eV. According to the condition (2.15)
withE= 14−12.4+2 = 3.6 eV, we adopt the ∆ r= 10˚A
andW0= 4 eV. The number of grid points is 321,781 forthis case. The thick line in Fig. 5 (a) shows the result.
The spurious peaks disappear and the result well agrees
with that of the Green’s function method. The oscillator
strengths near the ionization threshold (11 <ω< 13 eV)
indicate some discrepancies, which we naturally expect
from the above argument. In Fig. 5 (b), integrated os-
cillator strength is plotted against the energy. Seven out
of eight (TRK sum rule) unit of strength locates below
30 eV.
Finally we should mention the feasibility of computa-
tion. In order to calculate the absorption spectra of Fig.
5, the real-time method takes about 10 hours using a
single CPU of a Fujitsu VPP700E. On the other hand,
the Green’s function method takes about 30 minutes for
each energy. Thus, the real-time method is faster than
the Green’s function method if the response is calculated
for over 20 different energies. We have carried out the cal-
culations for 125 frequencies to obtain the smooth line of
Fig. 4.
C. Valence shell photoabsorption of acetylene
The acetylene molecule, C 2H2, has a symmetry config-
uration ofD∞h. This high symmetry has made possible a
calculation of the Green’s function using a single-center
expansion [17]. Even so, only two kinds of molecular
orbitals, 3σgand 1πu, which are primarily derived from
atomicpstates have been taken into account in Ref. [17],
because it was difficult to describe the s-derived states in
the single-center formulation. In the present paper, we
consider all valence orbitals, including the 2 σgand 2σu
in addition to the above p-derived orbitals, to calculate
the photoresponses.
The spherical box is taken as R= 6˚A with meshes of
∆x= ∆y= ∆z= 0.3˚A. All atoms are located on the
z-axis at ±0.601˚A for carbon and ±1.663˚A for hydro-
gen. There are ten valence electrons and the calculated
energies of occupied orbitals are listed in Table I. Using
the Green’s function method, we obtain the photoabsorp-
tion oscillator strengths as a function of photon energy,
shown in Fig. 6. The calculation indicates a sharp bound
9resonance at ω= 9.6 eV and a broad structure around
15 eV which seems to be a superposition of three reso-
nances. The resonance at 9.6 eV strongly responds to
a dipole field parallel to the molecular axis. The large
oscillator strengths in the IPA at ω= 5∼8 eV and at
ω= 12.5∼13.5 eV are shifted to higher energies by
the dielectric effects. The agreements with the experi-
mental data are significantly improved by the inclusion
of the dynamical screening. The static dipole polarizabil-
ity is also affected significantly: In the IPA calculation,
the polarizabilities parallel ( α/bardbl) and perpendicular ( α⊥)
to the molecular axis are α/bardbl= 10.7˚A3andα⊥= 3.87
˚A3. The dynamic screening reduces these values to 4.79
˚A3and 2.77 ˚A3, respectively, which well agree with the
experimental values, α/bardbl= 4.73 andα⊥= 2.87˚A3[47].
We find some disagreements between the calculation
and the experiment in Fig. 6. We observe two distinct
peaks in the experiments for the broad resonance around
15 eV. However, the calculation indicates three peaks.
The lowest (13.2 eV) and the highest ones (15.9 eV) are
related with responses to a dipole field parallel to the
molecular axis, while the middle one (14.3 eV) is a re-
sponse to the perpendicular field. We plot the partial os-
cillator strengths in an inset of Fig. 6. The lowest peak at
13.2 eV consists of the transition of 3 σgvalence orbitals.
The middle peak at 14.3 eV turns out to consist of contri-
butions of 2 σuand 1πuorbitals. We need an energy shift
of these strengths by about 1 eV to reproduce the experi-
ments. An accurate configuration interaction calculation
with the Schwinger variational method is available for
this molecule [48]. This calculation succeeds to reproduce
the double peak structure. The assignments are consis-
tent to ours: 3 σgfor lower and 2 σufor higher transitions.

the smoothing parameter Γ = 0 .5 eV is used. (b) The

indicates f(∞) = 10 for the valence shell photoabsorp-

The experiments also indicate discrete Rydberg series
around 10 eV. We do not see this structure in the cal-
culation because we have used a smoothing parameter
Γ = 0.5 eV which is much larger than the experimental
energy resolution. In principle, we can calculate these
Rydberg states since the potential has a −e2/rbehavior
at large distance. In order to obtain these fine struc-
tures, we have to calculate the response with Γ ≈0 and
the small frequency mesh ∆ ω(order of meV) must be
adopted. This is beyond a scope of this paper.
The real-time calculation is carried out with the same
imaginary potential as we have used for silane ( W0= 4
eV and ∆r= 10˚A). We have 635,371 grid points in this
space. The time evolution is calculated up to T= 12
eV−1with a time step of ∆ t= 0.001 eV−1. The results
are shown in Fig. 7 (a). Again the absorbing potential
is an essential ingredient to obtain sensible results in the
continuum energy region. The calculated photoabsorp-
tion spectra well agree with those of the Green’s function
calculation except for minor oscillatory behaviors at high
energy. This spurious oscillations start to appear at an
energyω≈22 eV. In fact, the condition of a good ab-
sorber, Eq. (2.15), is not satisfied in this energy region.
Namely the potential ( W0= 4 eV) is too week to absorb
such high energy particles. In Fig. 7 (b), we show the
integrated oscillator strengths up to 40 eV. One-fourth of
the TRK sum rule value of valence electrons is in an en-
ergy region over 40 eV. It is worth noting that the CPU
time of the real-time calculation is less than one-fifth of
that of the Green’s function calculation.
10D. Valence shell photoabsorption of ethylene
The ethylene C 2H4is the simplest organic π-system,
which possesses the D2hsymmetry. The two carbon
atoms are on the x-axis atx=±0.6695˚A and four
hydrogen atoms are in the x−yplane at (x,y) =
(1.2342,0.9288), (1.2342,−0.9288), ( −1.2342,0.9288),
(−1.2342,−0.9288) in units of ˚A. There are twelve va-
lence electrons, and calculated eigenenergies of occupied
valence orbitals are listed in Table I.
The calculations are carried out using the same box
(R= 6˚A) and mesh size (0.3 ˚A) as we have used for
the acetylene molecule. The photoabsorption oscillator
strengths calculated with the Green’s function method
are shown in Fig. 8. The agreement with an experiment
[49] is excellent. Almost all the main features of pho-
toabsorption spectra are reproduced in the calculation.
The observed bound excited states show different pho-
toresponses according to the direction of the dipole field.
The lowest peak at ω= 7.6 eV is mainly a response to a
dipole field parallel to the molecular (C −C) axis. This is
associated with the excitations of the HOMO 1 b3uelec-
trons. On the other hand, states at 9.8 eV respond almost
equally to a dipole field of x,y, andzdirection, to which
both 1b3gand 1b3uoccupied orbitals contribute. A small
peak atω= 11.4 eV is calculated as a resonance of 3 ag
orbital, which may correspond to a small shoulder in the
experiment. Beyond 11.7 eV, the HOMO electrons are
in the continuum. The first prominent peak at 12.4 eV
is a resonance with respect to a dipole field of ydirection
which is in the molecular plane and perpendicular to the
C−C bond. The excitations of the 1 b2uand 1b3gelec-
trons are main components of this resonance. In a region
of 13.2< ω < 20 eV, the 1 b3gelectrons can be excited
into the continuum and produce the smooth background
of oscillator strengths (0 .1∼0.2 eV−1). A peak struc-
ture at 14.6 eV is made of the excitation of 1 b2uelectrons.
The peak at 16.4 eV is constructed by excitations from
the 2b1uoccupied orbitals, while the experiment indicates
the resonance at 17.1 eV.
The above analysis is consistent with that in the liter-
ature [49], except for the 12.4 eV peak (11.9 eV in the
experiment). Our analysis suggests transition of 1 b3gand
1b2uelectrons while Ref. [49] indicates 3 ag.
Comparing the TDLDA calculation with that of the
IPA (dashed line), we see again that the dynamic screen-
ing effect is very important to reproduce the experimental
data. This feature of the IPA result is consistent with the
other calculations without the dynamic screening [50].
The calculated dipole polarizability is α= 4.22˚A3(5.47,
3.97, 3.23 ˚A3forx,y,zdirection, respectively), which
is in a good agreement with the experimental value, 4.22
˚A3[47]. In the IPA calculation, we obtain α= 7.04˚A3
(10.4, 5.96, 4.76).
Results of the real-time calculation are shown in Fig.
9 (a). The box and imaginary potential we use are the
same as those for acetylene. We can obtain a sensible re-sult if we adopt the absorbing potential. However, again,
a spurious oscillatory behavior is seen at high energy re-
gion because the absorbing potential is not strong enough
to erase those high-energy components.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
We have developed methods based on the TDLDA of
investigating the photoresponses in the continuum for
systems with no spatial symmetry: (1) The real-time
method with an absorbing potential, and (2) the Green’s
function method. These methods allow us to treat the
photoionization and the dynamical screening effects self-
consistently. For the real-time method, we have tested
11imaginary potentials of different kinds and found that
those satisfying a condition, Eq. (2.15), are good to
mimic the continuum effect. However, it is very diffi-
cult to treat the photoabsorption spectra in vicinity of
the ionization threshold. There are two reasons: One
is because the condition, Eq. (2.15), requires a large
model space to treat such a low-energy emission prop-
erly. The second is that the ionization threshold is not
correct when the potential has a 1 /rbehavior at large dis-
tance. In addition to this, since the condition is energy
dependent, it is very difficult to construct a good ab-
sorber for low-energy and high-energy outgoing electrons
simultaneously. The advantage of the real-time method is
a computational feasibility. Utilizing the Fourier trans-
form, we can obtain the spectra over the whole energy
region at once.
The Green’s function method possesses a capability of
an exact treatment of the continuum. Using a Green’s
function of Coulomb asymptotic waves, it is also possi-
ble to investigate the photoresponse near the threshold.
The main difficulty of the Green’s function treatment is
a heavy computational task. In order to reduce the CPU
time, we use a complex energy for the Green’s function,
G(ω+iΓ/2). We have found that the inclusion of the
imaginary part Γ facilitates a convergence of iterative
procedures in the calculation. The Γ also plays a role of
lowering an energy resolution of the calculations. Thus,
we can choose a value of Γ depending on the energy res-
olution required in each problem. We would like to em-
phasize again that the method is capable of calculating
response functions of many-electron systems, below, near
and above the ionization threshold in a unified manner.
The numerical calculations have been performed for
a spherical Na−
7cluster (test study) and non-spherical
molecules, SiH 4, C2H2, and C 2H4. Studies of pho-
toresponse for deformed molecules including both the
dynamic screening and the continuum effect are very
few. An exception is a study of nitrogen and acetylene
molecules (with a high symmetry D∞h) by Levine and
Soven [17] using the single-center expansion technique.
However, only 1 πuand 3σgoccupied orbitals are included
in their calculation because of limitation of the single-
center expansion. Since our calculation has been carried
out on three-dimensional coordinate meshes, we do not
need any spatial symmetry including all valence orbitals
in the calculation. We present the photoabsorption os-
cillator strengths compared with dipole ( e,e) and syn-
chrotron radiation experiments. The agreement is gen-
erally excellent. The inclusion of the dynamic screening
turns out to be essential to reproduce the experiments.
The IPA calculation overestimates the strengths at low
energy and underestimates at high energy.
We are strongly encouraged by the success of our meth-
ods applied to simple molecules in the present paper. The
applications to more complex systems may become pos-
sible in near future.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

QUANTIZED FRACTAL SPACE TIME

Abstract
Though Quantum SuperString Theory has shown promise, there
are some puzzling features like the extra dimensions, which are curled
up in the Kaluza-Klein sense. On the other hand a recent formu la-
tion of what may be called Quantized Fractal Space Time leads to a
surprising interface with QSS - we deal with the Planck lengt h, the
same number of extra dimensions and an identical non-commut ative
geometry. It is shown that this is not accidental. On the cont rary it
gives us insight into the otherwise inexplicable features o f QSS.
1 Introduction
At the outset it must be pointed out that Quantum Mechanics (Q M) and
Quantum Field Theory (QFT) operate in the Minkowski space ti me - this
is a differentiable manifold and space time points, infact po int particles are
legitimate. However this contradicts the very spirit of QM - arbitrarily small
space time intervals imply arbitrarily large momenta and en ergies. Yet both
QM and QFT have co-existed with this unhappy situation[1]. F rom this
point of view, two approaches are more satisfactory. One is s tring theory
and the other is the discrete space time formulation. The for mer has evolved
into the present theory of Quantum SuperStrings (QSS) while the latter
leads to a formulation in terms of stochastic, fractal space -time. These two
approaches appear very different, but as we will now show, the y share several
strikingly similar characteristics. This will throw light on some features of
1string theory which appear very puzzling, like the extra dim ensions and the
non-commutative geometry aspect.
2 String Theory
The origin of String Theory lies in two observed features. Th e first is the
Regge trajectories, J∝M2, which define the higher spin resonances, and
which implies a finite size or spread in space for them.
The second feature is the dual resonance or s−tchannel scattering, which
lead to the Venetziano model. It was realized that if the part icles could be
given an extension of the order of the Compton wavelength, th at is treated
as strings, then the puzzling s−tfeature could be explained.
All this leads to strings which are governed by the equation[ 2]
ρ¨y−Ty′′= 0 (1)
where the frequency ωis given by
ω=π

T
ρ(2)
T=mc2

Tbeing the tension of the string, lits length and ρthe line density. The
identification (3) gives (4) where cis the velocity of light, and (1) then goes
over to the usual d’Alembertian or massless Klein-Gordon eq uation. It is
worth noting that as l→0 the potential energy which is ∼/integraltextl
0T/parenleftBig∂y
∂x/parenrightBig2dx
rapidly oscillates.
Further if the above string is quantized canonically, we get
∝angbracketleft∆x2∝angbracketright ∼l2(5)
The string effectively shows up as an infinite collection of Ha rmonic Oscil-
lators [2]. It must be mentioned that (5) and (3) both show tha tlis of the
order of the Compton wavelength. This has been called one of t he miracles
2of String theory by Veniziano[3]. Infact the minimum length lturns out to
be given by T/¯h2=c/l2which from (3) and (4) is seen to give the Compton
wavelength.
If the relativistic quantized string is given rotation[4], then we get back the
equation for the Regge trajectories given above. Here we are dealing with
objects of finite extension rotating with the velocity of lig ht rather like spin-
ning Black Holes. It must be pointed out that in Super String t heory, there
is an additional term a0
J≤(2πT)−1M2+a0¯hwitha0= +1(+2)for the open (closed) string (6)
In equation (6) a0comes from a zero point energy effect. When a0= 1 we
have the usual guage bosons and when a0= 2 we have the gravitons.
It must be mentioned that in the relativistic case, even in Cl assical Theory
it is known that[5, 6] there is an extension of the order of the Compton
wavelength lseen in (3) above such that within this extension there are
negative energies, reminiscent of a Dirac particle with zit terbewegung, and
indicative of the breakdown of the concept of space time poin ts.
Finally, if we go over to the full theory of Quantum Superstri ngs[7, 8], we
deal with the Planck length, a non-commutative geometry and a total of ten
space time dimensions, six of which are curled up in the Kaluz a-Klein sense.
3 Quantized Fractal Space time
A starting point for QFST is the observation that the electro n can be con-
sidered to be a Kerr-Newman Black Hole, which is otherwise cl assical, but
which also describes the purely QM anomalous g= 2 factor[9]. However
there is a naked singularity, in other words the radius of the horizon becomes
complex and is given by
r+=GM

whereais the angular momentum per unit mass.
The same circumstance is observed in the purely QM descripti on of the elec-
tron by the Dirac equation. This time we have

3The bridge between equations (7) and (8) is the fact that the i maginary term
in (8) is the zitterbewegung term which again is symptomatic of the fact that
space time points are not meaningful. Infact an average over Compton scales
removes the naked singularity.
Another way of looking at this is that for the Dirac or Klein-G ordan operator
we have a non Hermitian position operator given by
/vectorXop=/vector xop−ı¯hc2
2/vector p
E2(9)
The Hermitianization of (9) leads to[10] a quantization of s pace time at the
Compton scale. As with strings, we have in this description a background
ZPF [10] corresponding to a collection of oscillation bound ed by the Compton
wavelength. Interestingly an equation like (2) holds[6].
Thus we have to deal with space time intervals, which are a sor t of a minimum
cut off. This leads to the non commutative geometry
[x,y] = 0(l2),[x,px] =ı¯h[1 +l2],[t,E] =ı¯h[1 +τ2] (10)
[11, 12]. Interestingly using (10) we can get back the Dirac r epresentation.
Next, from the Dirac equation we can get the Klein-Gordon equ ation [13, 14]
or alternatively the massless string equation (1) subject t o (4). (Physically
this means that bosons are bound states of Fermions.) Furthe r with bound
Fermions we recover the equation of Regge trajectories [15] . Interestingly, in
Superstring theory also Dirac spinors are introduced ad hoc , averages over an
internal time τare taken, and then the Klein-Gordon equation of the bosonic
theory is deduced[16]. At the same time this space time fudge is exactly of
the type required to explain the s−tchannel feature. It must be observed
that in (10) if l2= 0, then we are back with usual space time and Quantum
Mechanics. It is only when l2∝negationslash= 0 that we have a non commutativity, leading
to Fermions. Indeed, as also noted by Witten, our usual Loren tzian space
time differentiable manifold is bosonic and leads to the boso nic string or
Klein-Gordon equation (1), - but there is a substructure giv en by (10) which
leads to the Fermionic description and quantized space time . The former is an
approximation when l2= 0 and we have equation (1) and what Witten calls
bosonic space time (Cf. [17]). The latter gives the spinoria l representation
for the Lorentz group which as noted by Einstein(Cf. ref.[18 ]) is the more
fundamental representation and also the Dirac equation, ra ther than (1).
4It is quite significant that the above discrete space time fea tures can be
understood in terms of the Nelsonian Theory in which the diffu sion constant,
in the light of the above remarks has been meaningfully ident ified with ¯h/m
[19]. Here we are dealing with a double Weiner process[20], a nd the minimum
space time cut offs are stochastic in nature and may be called Q FST.
Infact, a quick way to Quantum Mechanics from the Nelsonian t heory is by
starting with the diffusion equation,
∆x·∆x=h
m∆t
This can be rewritten as the usual Quantum Mechanical relati on,
m∆x
∆t·∆x=h= ∆p·∆x
To throw further light on this, we observe that it is well know n[6] that from a
two state formulation we can recover the Schrodinger equati on by considering
the diffusion of a particle to neighbouring points on either s ide, separated by
a distance of the order of the Compton wavelength. Similarly if we could
consider a diffusion forwards and backwards in time through a Compton
time interval reminiscent of the double Weiner process refe rred to, we can
get back the d’Alembertian equation, or the string equation (1). To see this
more explicitly, let us consider a point xand its neighbouring points x±l
and a time t±τ. Then a typical simple diffusion equation would be given
by [21], following Feynman,
Cı(t−τ) +Cı(t+τ) =/summationdisplay
j[δıj−ı
¯hHıj(t)τ]Cj(t) (11)
where we denote by, Cı(t)≡< ı|ψ(t)>,the amplitude for the state |ψ(t)>
to be in the state |ı>,and
<ı|U|j >≡Uıj(t+τt,t)≡δıj−ı
¯hHıj(t)τt.
andıdenotes the point xand the points x±l. In the limit l=cτ→0 (11)
gives the Klein-Gordon equation or alternatively the equat ion (1) subject to
the condition (4). This also shows the close relation of the d iffusion process
and special relativity, as noted in [19].
5Finally in the above formulation using the spirit of fluctuat ions and the non
commutative relation (10), we get, ∆ x∼l3, wherelis the electron Compton
wavelength[20]. We are thus lead firstly to the Planck length and secondly
to the fact that the single xdimension has now become three dimensional.
The two extra dimensions are fluctuations and curled up in the Kaluza-Klein
sense[22] as shown elsewhere[20]. It must be stressed that i n this formulation
we use as seen in the Super String case, the zero point fluctuat ions.
4 Conclusion
It is not surprising that QSS and QFST reach the same extra dim ensions,
non commutative geometry and Planck scale, because the form er starts with
extension and then the QM input, while the latter starts with extension
and the Nelsonian QM input. From this point of view we get an in sight
into the otherwise inexplicable features of QSS. As Venezia no put it [3],
”we thus face a kind of paradoxical situation. On the other ha nd quantum
mechanics is essential to the success of the KK idea. At the sa me time, QFT
gives meaningless infinities and spoils the nice semiclassi cal results. If the
beautiful KK idea is to be saved we need a better quantum theor y than QFT.
I will argue below that such a theory already exists: it is cal led (super) string
theory.” The key lies in space time intervals which underlie a Fermionic sub
structure of space time given by (10), which has a perfectly n atural origin in
stochastic process or in the spirit of which lies ”Law withou t Law”[23], and
is exemplified by QFST.

A Macroscopic Approach to the Origin of Exotic MatterCharles T. Ridgelycharles@ridgely.wsGalilean Electrodynamics, in review (2000) .
AbstractHerein the Casimir effect is used to present a simple macroscopic view of the origin ofexotic matter. The energy arising between two nearly perfectly conducting parallel platesis shown to become increasingly negative as the plate separation is reduced. It isproposed that the Casimir energy appears increasingly negative simply because thevacuum electromagnetic zero-point field performs positive work in pushing the platestogether, transforming field energy into kinetic energy of the plates. Next, the inertialproperties of exotic matter are considered. The parallel plates of the Casimir system arereplaced with an enclosed cavity of identical dimensions that is subjected to an externalforce. It is found that zero-point radiation exerts an inertial force on the cavity inopposition to the external force. This ultimately leads to the conclusion that the inertialproperties of exotic matter are identical to the inertial properties of ordinary matter.1. Introduction
According to a recent proposal by Miguel Alcubierre [1], general relativity admits
metric solutions that predict the possibility of superluminal space travel. In essence,2
these metrics imply that a spaceship can be propelled through space by expanding space-
time behind the ship while, at the same time, contracting space-time in front of the ship.The ship then surfs on this space-time deformation, acquiring very high velocity relativeto the rest of the universe. Even more surprising is that these “warp drive” metricspredict that such travel can be carried out without the usual time dilation effects predictedby special relativity. That is, proper time experienced by a space traveler, using anAlcubierre warp drive, is identical to the time experienced by observers remaining on theEarth.
As with worm holes, warp drives require tremendous quantities of negative energy, or
exotic matter [1-5]. Although there are several conceptual difficulties associated withwarp drive, the energy requirement alone can easily be taken as sufficient grounds for usto dismiss the feasibility of warp drive. More encouraging, however, is that modifiedforms of the Alcubierre metric have been proposed, requiring more reasonable quantitiesof exotic matter [4-5]. We can only hope that as more research is conducted, warp drivetheory will become increasingly tenable.
Of course, there is one serious obstacle to our actually engineering a warp drive
system of any size: the need for exotic matter. Before we can set up a physically
realizable warp drive, we must have a working knowledge of how to generate exoticmatter. As is well known, exotic matter is forbidden classically, but is permitted on thequantum level under special circumstances. When these special circumstances areapplied to warp drive theory, we are left with a warp bubble requiring massive amounts3
of exotic matter and having walls whose thickness is on the order of the Planck length [2-
3]. But even with such constraints, we are still left with the question of how to obtainexotic matter, regardless of quantity. It is an objective of the present analysis to provide asimple macroscopic view of the origin of exotic matter while leaving the question ofquantity for future development.
One well-known example in which negative energy produces observable forces is the
Casimir effect [1, 4]. The Casimir effect is an attractive force that arises between twonearly perfectly conducting parallel plates when they are placed in close proximity, asshown in Figure 1. In essence, the plates block out some of the vacuum zero-pointelectromagnetic radiation that would otherwise reside in the volume between the plateswere the plates removed [6-7]. This gives rise to a small energy difference between theplates relative to the region outside the plates:
()22
3720π=−!cLUrr,( 1 )
where 2L is the surface area of each plate, and r is the plate separation. Differentiating
Eq. (1) with respect to the plate separation then gives the force on the plates:
()()22
4240π ∂=− =−∂! Ur cLFrrr.( 2 )
This attractive force, tending to push the plates together, has been experimentally verified
to within 5% of its theoretical value [7].4
While the Casimir effect is typically reserved for discussions involving the quantum
world, there may in fact be a way to picture the negative energy-content of the Casimirsystem from a macroscopic point of view. This can be done by taking a macroscopicview of the vacuum electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF). With this approach, the ZPFis viewed as a real Lorentz-invariant radiation field that is essentially uniform throughoutall of space. So long as the ZPF is isotropic, no direct observation of the ZPF can bemade; but if the ZPF becomes locally anisotropic, such as with the Casimir system, directobservations can then indeed be carried out [7-8].
The next Section deals with the change in Casimir energy that arises when the plate
separation is decreased. It is shown that the ZPF performs positive work in pushing theplates together, transforming electromagnetic field energy into kinetic energy of theplates. The resulting drop in field energy appears increasingly negative with respect tothe uniform energy content outside the plates [8-9]. Based on this, it is proposed thatwhenever the ZPF performs positive work in a localized region of space-time, a drop inzero-point field energy occurs, resulting in a negative energy density relative to the restof space-time.
Section 3 is devoted to acquiring greater insight into the inertial properties of exotic
matter. Applying the law of inertia of energy [10-11] to the Casimir energy leads to anegative inertial mass. Initially, it seems that this small quantity of exotic matter shouldreduce the overall inertia of the Casimir system. To determine whether this is indeed thecase, the parallel plates of the Casimir system are replaced with a cavity of identical5
dimensions. When the cavity is subjected to an external force, space-time distortion [12]
within the cavity gives rise to a Doppler-shift, detectable within the co-moving referenceframe of the cavity. It is shown that zero-point radiation responds to this Doppler-shiftby exerting an inertial resistance force on the cavity in a manner identical to that ofordinary, positive radiation [10]. This leads to the conclusion that the inertial propertiesof exotic matter are the same as the inertial properties of ordinary matter.
2. Negative Energy due to Work Performed by Zero-Point Field
Consider the energy between two parallel plates when their separation is first
1r and
then later 2r, where 1r > 2r. According to Eq. (1), when the plate separation is 1r and 2r
the energy between the plates is, respectively
22
1 3
1 720cLUrπ=−!, (3a)
22
2 3
2 720cLUrπ=−!. (3b)
As pointed out in the Introduction, the force between the plates is attractive, tending to
push the plates together. Suppose the force pushes the plates from separation 1r to
separation 2r. The change in energy between the plates is then
2
2
21 33
2111
720UU U c Lrrπ∆= − = − −

This implies that the Casimir energy becomes increasingly negative as the plate
separation is reduced. The work W performed in order to bring about this change in
energy is
2
2
12 33
2111
720Wc Lrrπ=−
! .( 5 )
This is positive work performed by the ZPF in pushing the plates from 1r to 2r,
transforming electromagnetic field energy into kinetic energy of the plates. Since the
energy content of the ZPF is initially uniform everywhere [8-9], this drop in field energymanifests as a negative energy density between the plates, relative to the energy densityof the region outside the plates.
Of particular interest is the case in which the initial separation of the parallel plates is
very large. Assuming that no other forces act on the plates, the ZPF should still exert aforce on the plates, no matter how minute that force may be. The work performed by that
force can be expressed simply by taking the limit of Eq. (5) as
1r tends to infinity:
()
112rWL i m W∞→∞= .( 6 )
Carrying this out leads directly to
22
3720cLWrπ
∞=!,( 7 )
in which the subscript 2r has been dropped for simplicity. This is the work performed by
the ZPF in pushing two parallel plates to a separation r when the plates are initially very
far apart. The potential energy associated with Eq. (7) is then7
22
3720cLUrπ
∞=−!,( 8 )
which is identical to the original expression for the Casimir energy, given by Eq. (1). So
then, we have come full circle, but with the clear assertion that the negative energydensity of the Casimir system arises because the ZPF performs positive work in alocalized region of space-time. More specifically, we propose that in any instance inwhich the ZPF performs positive work in a localized region of space-time, a drop invacuum electromagnetic zero-point field energy occurs, resulting in a negative energydensity in that region relative to the rest of space-time [9].
3. Inertial Properties of Exotic Matter
In the preceding section, the Casimir system of two conducting parallel plates was
used to show that when the ZPF performs positive work in a localized region, the energydensity of that region becomes negative. Taking a strict view of the relationship betweenenergy and mass [10], we might suppose that such a region exhibits an inertial mass in
accordance with the law of inertia of energy,
2mU c∞= . Applying this expression to
the Casimir energy, given by Eq. (8), leads directly to
22
3720Lmcrπ=−!.( 9 )
This implies that the mass-energy between the plates of the Casimir system is negative
with respect to the exterior region. At first sight, we might expect this small quantity of8
exotic matter should reduce the overall inertial mass of the Casimir system. As we shall
see, however, we have no good reason to presuppose that exotic matter behaves in anyway differently than does ordinary matter.
According to previous analyses [10-11, 13], the inertial properties of energy cannot be
adequately explained on the basis of inertial mass alone; the contribution by space-timemust also be taken into account. This was demonstrated by considering an ideal cavity of
length r, containing monochromatic radiation of frequency
0ν that is subjected to an
external force [10]. It was found that when an external force is applied to such a cavity,
radiation pressure exerts an inertial resistance force on the cavity, given by
()ABNhFnrνν=−" ", (10)
where N is the average number of photons in the cavity, Aν and Bν are the frequencies
of radiation measured by co-moving observers at walls A and B of the cavity,
respectively, and ˆn is a unit vector in the direction of the cavity’s acceleration. This
expression for the force was used to show that the inertial resistance of the cavity arisesas a direct manifestation of space-time distortion within the cavity [10, 12].
The plan here is to use Eq. (10) to gain greater insight into the inertial properties of
exotic matter. To do this, the parallel plates of the Casimir system are replaced with acavity of identical dimensions, namely one with r << L, as shown in Figure 2. Also, the
zero-point radiation under consideration here is not monochromatic, and thus the average9
indicated by N must be eliminated in favor of a sum over all frequency modes within the
cavity. Carrying this out, Eq. (10) can be recast in the form
NN
ii
ii ABFnrωω =− ∑∑"! ". (11)
where N is the number of modes within the cavity [14]. For the case of a cavity in
thermal equilibrium with its surroundings, the number of photons observed at each wallwithin the cavity is roughly the same. Using this to our advantage, Eq. (11) can then bewritten as
()N
AB i
iFnrωω=−∑"! ". (12)
This expression implies that when an external force is applied to the cavity, each
frequency mode within the cavity exerts a net force on the cavity, given by
()iA B iFnrωω=−"! ". (13)
For the case of a uniformly accelerating cavity, as shown in Figure 2, space-time
distortion gives rise to an observable Doppler-shift within the cavity [10]: 0 ωω−≠AB .
Observers residing in the co-moving reference frame (CMRF) of the cavity find that
zero-point radiation arriving at wall B is blue-shifted relative to radiation observed at wall
A. If the frequencies observed at wall A are 0ωω=Ai i , then the frequencies at wall B are
01
1ωω+=−R
Bi i
RVc
Vc, (14)10
where RV is the relative velocity of wall B gained during the time in which photons travel
from wall A to wall B. Using these frequencies, observers moving with the cavity recast
Eq. (12) in the form
001
1ωω +=−−∑"! "N
R
i RiVcFnrV c. (15)
Rearranging a bit, this expression becomes
() 01111ω+=− − ∑" "!N

To further simplify this expression, we notice that for the case of a very small cavity
undergoing Newtonian acceleration, we can use the approximation [10]
1111 τ+ −≈ − ∇ − "R
RVc d t
rV c d, (17)
where dt is an interval of coordinate time, τd is an interval of proper time experienced
by observers moving with the cavity, and the minus sign arises because the gradient is inthe direction of the cavity’s acceleration [10]. Substituting Eq. (17) into Eq. (16) then
gives the force as
() 0ωτ=− ∇ ∑""!N
i
idtFd. (18)
As a final consideration, we notice that the summation simply expresses the total zero-
point energy within the cavity:11
() 0ω=∑!N
i
iE . (19)
At this point, it must be stressed that although the energy density within the cavity is
negative with respect to exterior regions, individual photons inside the cavity have their
usual positive energies, iiEω=!. The cavity simply blocks out those photons having
wavelengths longer than the distance between the walls of the cavity [7].
Using Eq. (19) in Eq. (18), the force on the cavity then becomes
dtFEdτ=− ∇"". (20)
According to this expression, zero-point radiation within the cavity exerts an inertial
force on the cavity that acts in opposition to the externally applied force, just as doesordinary, positive radiation [10, 15]. Thus, the inertial properties of a region having a
negative energy density are identical to those of a region having an equivalent positive
energy density. Previous analyses have shown that all forms of positive energy resistchanges to their states of motion, and that the source of such resistance is entirely due tospace-time distortion arising within accelerating systems of reference [10-11, 13].Equation (20) implies that the same holds true for negative forms of energy as well. Wecan conclude, therefore, that the inertial properties of exotic matter are the same as theinertial properties of ordinary matter. Both forms of matter resist changes to their statesof motion when acted upon by an external force.12
Returning to the Casimir system, it is now easy to see that the inertial mass predicted
by Eq. (9) will contribute to an overall increase in the inertia of the Casimir system rather
than reducing it, as the minus sign initially suggested. While the minus sign in Eq. (9)certainly implies that the mass is exotic, having its origin in negative energy, the minussign tells us nothing about the inertial properties of exotic matter.
4. Discussion
Current theory places serious restrictions on the existence of exotic matter. According
to recent analyses, such restrictions set the thickness of the walls of an Alcubierre warpbubble on the order of the Planck length while requiring an enormous quantity of exoticmatter [2-3]. In the present analysis, a simple macroscopic interpretation of the origin ofexotic matter and its inertial properties has been suggested while leaving the question ofquantity for future development.
Current theory predicts that the energy density between two nearly perfectly
conducting parallel plates is negative, resulting in an attractive force between the plates[1, 4]. Herein, it was shown that this Casimir energy is negative simply because thevacuum electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) performs positive work in pushing theplates together, leading to a drop in field energy between the plates relative to the regionoutside the plates. Since the energy content outside the plates is uniformly distributed,and thus undetectable [7-8], the energy density between the plates appears negative.13
Applying the law of inertia of energy [10-11] to the Casimir system led to a negative
inertial mass. At first sight, it seemed that the presence of this small quantity of exoticmatter should reduce the overall inertia of the Casimir system. To determine whether thisis indeed the case, a cavity of identical dimensions that is subjected to an external forcewas considered. It was found that zero-point radiation within such a cavity responds tospace-time distortion within the cavity in a manner identical to that of ordinary, positiveradiation [10]. This led to the conclusion that the inertial properties of a regionpossessing a negative energy density are identical to the inertial properties of a regionpossessing an equivalent positive energy density.
Of course, the validity of the interpretation set forth herein is ultimately hinged on
whether or not the ZPF is comprised of real radiation, and on the amount of work that canbe performed thereby. Judging from the literature on the subject, whether or not the ZPFis real seems to be an ongoing debate [7-9]. Assuming that the ZPF is indeed real andcapable of performing electromagnetic work [9], we propose that whenever the ZPFperforms positive work in a localized region of neutral space-time, a net drop in energyoccurs in that region. The magnitude of such a drop in energy is directly proportional tothe quantity of work performed, and expresses itself in the form of exotic matter.Furthermore, we conclude that the inertial properties of exotic matter are identical to theinertial properties of ordinary matter; both forms of matter resist changes to their states ofmotion.14
As a final thought, it is interesting to speculate on how the notions put forth herein
might be applied to warp drive theory, mentioned in the Introduction. From ahypothetical standpoint, we can imagine a spaceship, residing in Minkowski space-time,which carries out some sort of internal process that alters the ZPF outside the ship [16].If, through this process, the ship can coax the ZPF into performing substantialelectromagnetic work, then the ship can use the ZPF to generate the exotic matterrequired for warp drive. In essence, we imagine a spaceship that manipulates the ZPF inorder to generate stress-energy outside the ship. With the right configuration, this stress-energy can be used to alter the Minkowski geometry outside the ship, forming anAlcubierre-type geometry, or some more efficient variation thereof [1, 4-5]. Assumingthat all goes as planned, the spaceship should then be propelled by the resulting space-time geometry, acquiring very high velocity relative to the rest of the universe. Onenoteworthy feature of this model is that there is no need for the spaceship to carry aquantity of exotic matter on board for use as a fuel source. Rather, such a spaceshipwould generate exotic matter outside the ship as it moves through space.15

[14] There are two effective limits on the number of modes within the cavity.
Wavelengths greater than the dimensions of the cavity are blocked out of theinterior region, and wavelengths shorter that the atomic size do not contribute to theforce on the walls of the cavity. These limits are generally embodied in a cut-offfunction. See, for example, Refs. [6-8].

accelerating cavity as well. This arises because the cavity occupies a volume ofspace, and essentially plows through a sea of zero-point radiation in much the sameway as a submarine moves through water.
[16] It seems likely that this process will be cyclical. It is difficult to imagine any static
embodiment capable of maintaining a sizable alteration of the ZPF.Figure 1 Charles T. Ridgely Galilean Electrodynamics17

arXiv:physics/0010028v1 [physics.atom-ph] 12 Oct 2000Breit interaction correction to the hyperfine constant of an external s-electron in

Correction to the hyperfine constant Aof an external s-electron in many-electron atom caused
by the Breit interaction is calculated analytically: δA/A = 0.68Zα2. Physical mechanism for this
correction is polarization of the internal electronic shel ls (mainly 1 s2shell) by the magnetic field
of the external electron. This mechanism is similar to the po larization of vacuum considered by
Karplus and Klein [1] long time ago. The similarity is the rea son why in both cases (Dirac sea
polarization and internal atomic shells polarization) the corrections have the same dependence on
the nuclear charge and fine structure constant.
In conclusion we also discuss Zα2corrections to the parity violation effects in atoms.

I. INTRODUCTION
Atomic hyperfine structure is caused by the magnetic interac tion of the unpaired external electrons with the nuclear
magnetic moment. There are two types of relativistic correc tions to this effect. The first type is a single particle
correction caused by the relativistic effects in the wave equ ation of the external electron [2]. This correction is of the
order of (Zα)2, whereZis the nuclear charge and αis the fine structure constant. Solving the Dirac equation on e can
find this correction analytically in all orders in ( Zα)2[3]. An alternative way to find this correction is direct nume rical
solution of the Dirac equation. Correction of the second typ e has a many-body origin: it is due to polarization of
paired electrons by the Breit interaction of the external el ectron. There are two kinds of paired electrons in the
problem: a) Dirac sea, b) closed atomic shells. The contribu tion related to the Dirac sea was calculated by Karplus
and Klein long time ago [1]: δA/A =α/2π−Zα2(5/2−ln 2). Theα/2πpart is due to usual anomalous magnetic
moment and Zα2part comes from a combined effect of the Nuclear Coulomb field a nd the Breit interaction. We
would like to stress that as soon as Z >12 theZα2part is bigger than α/2π. Effect of the polarization of atomic
shells by the Breit interaction has been recently calculate d numerically [4–7]. These calculations were performed for
Cs (Z= 55) because they were motivated by the interest to parity no nconservation in this atom. Results of these
calculations are somewhat conflicting, but nevertheless th ey indicate that the correction for an external s-electron i s of
the order of ∼ ±0.4%. In spite of being rather small this correction is compara ble with the present accuracy of atomic
many-body calculations and therefore it must be taken into a ccount. The purpose of the present work is to calculate
analytically the correction induced by the Breit interacti on. This allows to elucidate the physical origin of the effect
and its dependence on the atomic parameters. This also provi des an important lesson for a similar correction to the
parity non-conserving amplitude which we discuss in the con clusion.
II. CONTRIBUTION OF THE DIRECT ELECTRON-ELECTRON MAGNETIC INTERACTION
In the present work we do not consider single particle relati vistic effects (Dirac equation), so we assume that in
zero approximation the atom is described by the Schroedinge r equation with Coulomb electron-nucleus and electron-
electron interaction. For magnetic interaction throughou t this work we use the Coulomb gauge. Vector potential and
magnetic field of the nucleus are of the form
AN(r) =µN×r
r3, (1)
HN(r) =∇ ×AN→8π
3µNδ(r),
whereµNis the magnetic moment of the nucleus. We keep only the spheri cally symmetric part of the magnetic field
HNbecause in this work we consider only s-electrons. Interact ion of the magnetic moment µ1of the external electron
with nuclear magnetic field gives the hyperfine structure

Hereψe(r) is the wave function of the external electron, and Ais the hyperfine constant.
Vector potential of the external s-electron is of the form
Ae(r) =/integraldisplayµ1×(r−R)

Hence the magnetic field is
He(r) =∇ ×Ae→8π
3ψ2
e(r)µ1. (4)
Let us repeat once more that we keep only the spherically symm etric part of the magnetic field.
The Hamiltonian of an internal electron in the magnetic field A=AN+Ae,H=HN+Heis given by
H=(p−e

2m−µ2· H+U(r), (5)
whereµ2is the magnetic moment of the internal electron. Certainly |µ1|=|µ2|=|e|¯h
2mc, however directions of µ1
andµ2are independent. Having eq. (5) in mind one can easily draw di agrams describing correction to the hyperfine
structure due to the electron-electron magnetic interacti on. This diagrams are shown in Fig.1

The diamagnetic contribution shown in Fig.1c is given by the A2term from the Hamiltonian (5), hence
δEc=e2
mc2∝angb∇acketleftn|Ae·AN|n∝angb∇acket∇ight. (8)
Before proceeding to the accurate calculation of δEit is instructive to estimate a magnitude of the correction. Let
us look for example at the diamagnetic correction (8). Accor ding to eqs. (1), (3) the vector potentials are AN∼µN/r2
andAe∼µ1rψ2
e(0). Hence the correction (8) is of the order of δE∼e2µ1µNψ2
e(0)/(mc2r), whereris the radius
2of the internal shell. Since all the interactions are singul ar it is clear that the main contribution comes from the
K-shell, sor∼aB/Z(aBis the Bohr radius). Together with eq. (2) this gives the foll owing relative value of the Breit
correction to the hyperfine constant δC/C ∼Zα2. So we see that this effect has exactly the same dependence on t he
atomic parameters as the Dirac sea polarization considered in the paper [1].
Now let us calculate the coefficient in the Zα2correction. We consider explicitly only 1s and 2s closed she lls
and we also need to consider the external s-electron. In atom ic units the single particle energies of these states are:
E1=−Z2/2,E2=−Z2/8,Ee≈0. At small distances the nuclear Coulomb field is practicall y unscreened and hence
the wave functions are of the simple form [8]
ψ1=1√πe−ρ,
ψ2=1√
8πe−ρ/2(1−ρ/2), (9)
ψe=/radicalbigg3
16πρJ1(/radicalbig
8ρ).
Hereρ=ZrandJ1(x) is the Bessel function. The functions ψ1,2are normalized in the usual way:/integraltext
ψ2
id3ρ= 1.
The wave function of the external electron is normalized by t he condition ψ2
e(0) = 3/(8π). With this normalization
the leading order hyperfine constant (2) is equal to unity, C= 1, and therefore this normalization is convenient for
calculation of the relative value of the Breit correction to the hyperfine constant. Using eqs. (1),(3),(8) and performi ng
summation over spins in the closed shells one finds the diamag netic correction

The numerical coefficient was found by straightforward numer ical integration. Contributions of the inner shells drop
down approximately as 1 /n3, so 0.230=0.207+0.023, where the first contribution comes f rom the 1s-shell and the
second contribution comes from the 2s-shell.
To calculate the paramagnetic contributions (6) we use corr ectionsδψndefined by eq. (7) and calculated in the
Appendix. Substitution of (4), (9), and (A9) into formula (6 ) and summation over electron spins in the closed shell
gives the following result

where we present explicitly the contributions of 1s- and 2s- shells. The numerical coefficient is found by numerical
integration. Similar to the diamagnetic term the contribut ions of the inner shells drop down approximately as 1 /n3.
The leading order hyperfine structure is given by eq. (2) with constantC= 1 due to the accepted normalization.
According to eqs. (10) and (11) the total correction caused b y the direct magnetic interaction is δEa+δEb+δEc=
−0.410Zα2(µ1·µN). Comparing this with eq. (2) one finds the relative value of t he direct correction:
δA(dir)
A=δC(dir)
C= 0.410Zα2. (12)

give the paramagnetic contribution, and the diagram c) give s the diamagnetic contribution. N denotes the nucleus, edenotes the
external electron, ndenotes the internal electron, and finally mdenotes a virtual excitation of the internal electron. The w avy
line shows magnetic interaction with the external electron , and the dashed line shows magnetic interaction with the nuc leus.
The diagrams Fig.2a,b show the “paramagnetic” contributio ns, and the diagram Fig.2c shows the ”diamagnetic”
contribution. Note that the contributions of the diagrams F ig.2a,b must be doubled because the opposite order of
operators is also possible. Let us begin with the “dimagneti c” term. Comparison of Fig.1c and Fig.2c shows that the
direct and the exchange contributions are very similar and t herefore the simplest way to derive the exchange term
is just to make appropriate alterations in eq. (10) which giv es the direct contribution. The alterations are obvious:
1)opposite sign, 2) ψ2
n→ψeψn, 3)ψ2
e→ψeψn, 4)there is no summation over the intermediate spins, hence 4/3→2/3.
Thus the result is

The coefficient is found by numerical integration: 0.107=0.0 96+0.011, where the first contribution comes from the
1s-shell and the second contribution comes from the 2s-shel l.
The paramagnetic exchange contribution shown in Fig.2b is s imilar to the direct ones given by Fig.1a,b. The only
difference is in algebra of Pauli matrixes and in additional s ign (-). This consideration shows that the paramagnetic
exchange contribution is equal to half of that given by eq. (1 1)

The diagram shown in Fig.2a does not have analogous direct di agram because it has the hyperfine interaction
attached to the line of the external electron. Nevertheless the calculation of this diagram is quite similar to the
calculation described by eqs. (6) and (7). After substituti on ofδψefrom (A13) and performing summation over the

In the calculation we have not used the explicit form of the Br eit interaction, but nevertheless this is the correction
generated by the interaction which reads in the relativisti c form and in the Coulomb gauge as (see ref. [2])

Herer=r1−r2is distance between the electrons, and αiis theα-matrix of the corresponding electron. The Breit
interaction correction to the hyperfine structure of Cs was p reviously calculated numerically in the works [4–7],
4but results of these calculations were somewhat conflicting . Our result (17) agrees with that of the most recent
computation [7]. Note that eq. (17) gives the leading in Zpart of the Breit correction. There are other parts, say the
correction to the energy of the external electron which dire ctly influence the hyperfine constant. However the other
parts contain lower powers of Z.
The correction (17) does not include all Zα2terms. To realize what is left let us look at the electron-ele ctron
interaction Hamiltonian in ( v/c)2approximation [9]

must be also considered explicitly. Since this term is spin i ndependent, it can contribute only via exchange diagrams. A

V. BREIT INTERACTION CORRECTION TO THE PARITY NONCONSERVAT ION EFFECT
The Breit interaction correction exists for both nuclear sp in independent (weak charge) and nuclear spin dependent
(anapole moment) weak interactions. The correction to the s pin independent effect is the most interesting one because
of the high precision in both atomic theory [11] and experime nt [12,13]. Recent computations [6,7] show that the
atomic Breit correction to the nuclear spin-independent pa rity nonconservation (PNC) effect in Cs is about 0.6%.
This is enough to influence interpretation of the experiment al data, see Refs. [13,6]. The Breit correction to the PNC
effect can be calculated analytically similar to the hyperfin e structure correction. However this calculation is out of
the scope of the present work. In the present paper I just want a) to estimate this correction parametrically, b) to
comment on the importance of the Dirac sea polarization. Let us first estimate the correction. It is given by the
diagrams similar to that shown in Fig.2a,b. The only differen ce is that the electron-nucleus magnetic interaction must
be replaces by the electron-nucleus weak interaction [14]
HW=G

∆E∼α2Z3
Z2∼Zα2. (24)
Hereα2/r3is the magnetic interaction between external and internal e lectrons, and ∆ Eis the excitation energy of the
virtual state of the internal electron. For the estimation w e take K-electrons, therefore r∼1/Z, and ∆E∼Z2. Thus
the Breit correction to the PNC effect has exactly the same dep endence on atomic parameters as the Breit correction to
the hyperfine structure. It is known that there is a large rela tivistic enhancement factor for PNC effect [14], therefore
one might think that the nonrelativistic expansion used in t he estimate (24) has very poor accuracy. However it is
not the case, the matter is that the large relativistic facto r appears from the distances r∼nuclear size ≪aB/Z,
therefore this factor is more or less the same for the externa l electron and for the K-electron. So it is canceled out in
the ratio (24). By the way a similar argument explains a relat ively high accuracy of the nonrelativistic expansion for
the hyperfine structure correction (17).
I would like also to comment on the importance of the Dirac sea polarization. The effect calculated in refs. [6,7] and
estimated in eq. (24) is caused by the polarization of the clo sed atomic shells. This is analogous to the contribution
(17) for the hyperfine structure. However one has to remember that for the hyperfine correction there is also the
contribution of the Dirac sea polarization [1], α/2π−Zα2(5/2−ln 2)≈α/2π−1.81Zα2, which is bigger and has
the opposite sign. Only account of both effects together (ato mic shells + Dirac sea) has the physical meaning. The
radiative correction to the nuclear weak charge is known in t he single loop approximation, see Ref. [15]. This includes
α/πandα/πln(MZ/µ) terms (MZis the Z-boson mass and µis some infrared cutoff). However Zα2radiative
correction to the weak charge has not been considered yet and it is quite possible that this correction is larger than
theα/πcontribution (at least this is so for the hyperfine constant) . To calculate Zα2radiative correction one needs
to go to the two loop approximation, or to work in the single lo op approximation but with the Green’s functions
in the external nuclear Coulomb field. Thus: 1) account of the Breit correction calculated numerically in Refs. [6,7]
and estimated in eq. (24) without account of the Dirac sea con tribution is not sufficient, 2) account of the Dirac sea
polarization can influence agreement between theory and exp eriment.
VI. CONCLUSION
Correction to the hyperfine constant Aof an external s-electron in many-electron atom caused by th e polarization
of inner atomic shells by the electron-electron Breit inter action is calculated analytically: δA/A = 0.68Zα2. This
correction has the same origin as the Dirac sea polarization effectδA/A =α/2π−Zα2(5/2−ln 2) calculated by
Karplus and Klein long time ago [1].
It has been shown that the parametric estimate for the Breit c orrection to the parity nonconservation effects is also
Zα2. We stress that to take this correction into account one need s to consider both polarization of the inner atomic
shells and polarization of the Dirac sea.

that there is the additional condition of orthogonality

w2= 1−2ρ[(1−ρ/2)lnρ−3/4 +c]−(13/4−c)2ρ2+ρ3/4,

We also need to know the hyperfine correction to the wave funct ion of the external electron. Basically it is also

Abstract. A classical approximation to time dependent quantum mechan ical
scattering in the Møller formalism is presented. Numerical ly, our approach is
similar to a standard Classical–Trajectory–Monte–Carlo c alculation. Conceptu-
ally, however, our formulation allows one to release the res triction to stationary
initial distributions. This is achieved by a classical forw ard–backward propagation
technique. As a first application and for comparison with exp eriment we present
fully differential cross sections for electron impact ioniz ation of atomic hydrogen
in the Erhardt geometry.
PACS numbers: 34.80D, 03.65.Sq, 34.10+x
Classical models and approximations are frequently used fo r atomic and molecular
problems, despite their inherent quantum nature. One of the reasons is that our
intuitive understanding is mainly based on classical terms and pictures by which
we are surrounded in every day life. Another reason for not do ing (fully) quantum
mechanical calculations is the complexity of a problem: ful ly differential cross sections
in higher dimensional atomic systems, e.g., often require a numerical effort still beyond
present computing power. Only recently the quantum mechani cal Coulomb three–
body scattering problem was solved numerically [1, 2].
On the other hand, a remarkably successful classical approa ch to collisional atomic
problems has been developed over the years, the so called Cla ssical–Trajectory–Monte–
Carlo method (CTMC). It was introduced as a purely classical model based on a
“planetary atom” with a major axis of two meters (!) [3]. This model has produced
reasonable results for total or energy differential ionizat ion cross sections on atomic
hydrogen [4, 5] and for other few–body Coulomb collision pro cesses [6].
Attempts to reduce the limitation of this classical model ai med at changing
the description of the initial state for the hydrogen atom fr om a microcanonical
distribution to one, that is closer to the quantum density [7 , 8]. Another idea was
to introduce additional ad hoc stabilisation potentials in order to be able to treat
multi–electron targets [9]. However, all attempts took as a starting point not the
quantum problem but the previously formulated classical mo del. Hence, the proposed
amendments were accompanied by inconsistencies or the need of ”fit parameters”
determined from cross sections. In the end, one must say that it is up to now not
possible to describe higher differential cross sections or t argets with more than one
active electron consistently in a classical collision fram ework.Letter to the Editor 2
To achieve progress in this situation we decided to go one ste p backwards and
start with a time dependent quantum mechanical scattering f ormalism. By following
the approximations which lead to the classical description , i.e. the CTMC method, we
can identify the source and nature of deviations between the classical and the quantum
result which serve as a guide to improve the classical descri ption to a quasi–classical
approximation.
We divide the problem into three logically separate steps: ( 1) preparation of
the initial state before the collision, (2) propagation in t ime, and (3), extraction of
the cross section. For a consistent quasiclassical picture each of these steps has to be
approximated in the same way. To keep the derivation transpa rent, we will concentrate
on electron impact ionization of one active target electron in the following.
Step (1): The initial wave function for the collision proble m is translated first
into a quantum phase space distribution by the Wigner transf ormation [10]. The
resulting Wigner distribution is reduced to a classical dis tribution w(p, q) which can be
propagated classically in phase space by taking the usual li mit ¯h→0. The difference
to an a priori classical approach is the use and interpretati on of negative parts of the
distribution: Viewed as the ¯ h→0 limit of a quantum problem they contribute to
the observables in the same way as the positive parts since th ey do not need to be
interpreted as weights for real paths of classical particle s. Yet, there arise additional
problems when using this type of general initial phase space distributions in the usual
classical framework: Most of them are not stationary under c lassical propagation, their
Poisson bracket with the Hamilton function does not vanish, {H, w} /ne}ationslash= 0. Hence,
the initial target distribution will look very different at t he time the projectile has
approached and the collision actually happens.
Step (2): The formulation of the propagation is crucial sinc e it must resolve
the problem of the non–stationary classical initial distri bution, as described above.
Traditionally, the time dependent scattering is described by calculating the transition
amplitude between initial and final state through the S–matr ix, which is in turn related
to the t–matrix describing directly the cross section, see, e.g., [11]. In a simplified
version where the asymptotic initial and final states are eig enstates of the asymptotic
Hamiltonians H(i)
0andH(f)
0one normally writes for the transition amplitude
Sfi= lim
t→∞/an}bracketle{tf|U(t)|i/an}bracketri}ht (1)
where U(t) = exp[ −iHt] denotes propagation with the full Hamiltonian. By a Wigner
transform the quantum time evolution operator U(t) can be directly transformed with
the help of the quantum Liouville operator Lq, which reduces to the classical Liouville
operator Lcin the limit ¯ h→0 [12]. The latter describes the evolution of a phase
space distribution w(r, p, t) according to the Poisson bracket
∂tw={H, w} ≡ − iLcw (2)
in analogy to the quantum evolution of the density matrix ρgenerated by the
commutator,
∂tρ=−i[H, ρ]. (3)
Hence, we could directly use the translation of (1) to classi cal mechanics via the
Liouville operator. In connection with the microcanonical initial state distribution this
is indeed equivalent to the CTMC formulation [13]. However, using non–stationary
initial state distributions is inconsistent with the reduc ed quantum description of (1)Letter to the Editor 3
which relies on the fact that the asymptotic states are eigen states of U0and therefore
stationary. Instead we have to go back to the full scattering formulation
Sfi=/an}bracketle{tf|Ω†
−Ω+|i/an}bracketri}ht, (4)
where
Ω∓= lim
t→±∞U†(t)U0(t) (5)
are the Møller operators. The meaning of Ω +, e.g., is to propagate backwards with
U0(t) using the asymptotic Hamiltonian Hi
0without the projectile–target interaction
and then forward again under the full Hamiltonian with U(t). Again, with the help of
the Liouville operator we can translate the Møller operator s to their classical analogue,
thereby obtaining a prescription how to propagate a non–sta tionary initial phase space
distributions wi(γ), where γ= (/vector p1, /vector q1, /vector p2, /vector q2) is a point in the 12-dimensional phase
space:
wf= lim
t→+∞lim
t′→−∞e−iLf
cteiLc(t−t′)eiLi
ct′wi≡ Kwi. (6)
The difference to (1) are the explicit propagations under Lf

cin the
initial and final channel (which need not be the same). The mea ning of (6) becomes
very transparent if we insert a discretized distribution, w hich is used in the actual
calculations, wi(γ) =/summationtext
nwnδ12(γ−γi
n). The final distribution reads
wf(γ) =Kwi=/summationdisplay
nwnδ12(γ−γf
n) (7)
where each phase space point γf
nemerges from γi
nthrough solving successively
Hamilton’s equations, first with Hi
0, then with H, and eventually with Hf
0. With
this propagation scheme a non–stationary initial distribu tion will spread when being
propagated backwards with the asymptotic Li
c. However, it will be refocused under the
following forward propagation with Lc. Hence, when the actual collision happens for
t≈0 the original target distribution is restored, slightly po larized by the approaching
projectile.
Hence, there is no more need for the initial distribution to b e classically stationary.
We are able to use any phase space distribution as a target in o ur quasi classical
approach. This also includes unstable multi–electron targ ets, e.g., classical helium.
Step (3): Before we come to the actual evaluation we have to fo rmulate the
cross section such that it can make full use of the non-statio nary initial phase space
distribution wi(/vector p1, /vector q1), where “1” refers to the target electron. Without modificat ion
the total energy Eof the final state forces by energy conservation for each clas sical
trajectory only those parts of the initial phase space distr ibution to contribute to the
cross section which have the same energy E. However, this would bring us essentially
back to the microcanonical description. In order to make the entire non-stationary
initial state distribution “visible” to the collision proc ess, we use the energy transfer
¯E1=E(f)
1−E(i)
1to the target electron rather than its energy E(f)
1itself as a differential
measure. Of course, as long as the initial state is on the ener gy shell with well defined
energy E=E(i)

the cross section (9) which is a generalization of the one der ived in [14], e.g., where the
initial bound state was assumed to live on a torus, i.e., wi(/vector p1, /vector q1) =δ(/vectorI(/vector p1, /vector q1)−/vectorI0)
with a well defined multidimensional action /vectorI0.
Finally, we have to respect the Pauli principle for the two id entical electrons.
Formally, this can be done easily in the Wigner transform for the two ionized
electrons in the final state. In the limit ¯ h= 0 one is left with the usual classical
symmetrization, i.e., an interchange of indices. To keep th e notation simple we have
omitted symmetrization in the outlined derivation, howeve r, it is included in the actual
computation which is carried out by applying standard CTMC t echniques to evaluate
(9).

standard microcanonical distribution (CTMC), one with the non–stationary Wigner
distribution in our quasi classical framework and experime ntal data at impact energies
of 250eV (fig. 1) and 54.4eV (fig. 2), respectively.
For each impact energy about 108trajectories have been calculated. The cross
section at 250 eV for the Wigner distribution still exhibits negative parts, indicating
that this cross section is not yet fully converged. This is no t surprising if one takes
into account that the fraction of phase space of the final stat e is so small with the
chosen bin sizes for energies and angles, that only between 1 00 and 300 events finally
contribute to the shown cross sections. However, a consider able advantage of the
present method is that a sampling of 108trajectories contains the complete scattering
information, not just one specific differential cross sectio n.
The figures show, that the microcanonical distribution, i.e . standard CTMC, is
not able to reproduce the binary peak [17], whereas with the W igner distribution it is
reproduced fairly well for 250eV and rather well for 54.4eV i mpact energy. Keeping
in mind that in contrast to the microcanonical distribution the Wigner distribution
has the correct probability densities in momentum andconfiguration space, one can
conclude, that at least for energies between 50 and 250 eV the differential cross sections
”image” the initial phase space distribution. The present approach is still a classical
approximation and cannot reproduce quantum effects. Theref ore, features in the cross
section, for which coherence is crucial are represented pur ely or not at all.
To summarize, we have shown, that a consequent classical app roximation to a
quantum system can give much better results compared to thos e from an a priori
classical model, though both approaches are realized numer ically in almost the same
way. However, the main difference is conceptual: in the usual classical limit eachLetter to the Editor 6
individual trajectory represents that of an electron obeyi ng the classical equations of
motion, whereas in our classical approximation only the ent ire phase space distribution
is meaningful and individual trajectories are only discret ized points of the distribution
evolving in time. Hence, there is no problem to deal with ”neg ative probabilities” in
the initial distribution, since we regard them not as probab ilities but only as weights
of the integration which, of course, may be negative.
However, the use of non-stationary distributions like the W igner distribution as
an initial state implies additional difficulties for a scatte ring description which we
have overcome by using a forward-backward propagation sche me akin to the quantum
Møller formalism and by a reformulation of the energy differe ntial cross section in
terms of the energy transfer during the ionization process. With these modifications
all the tools of the standard CTMC technique can be applied st raightforwardly.
Moreover, our approach can be in principle generalized to mu lti–electron targets
since we generate our initial phase space distribution from a quantum wave function
and we know how to deal with non–stationary initial distribu tions.

Abstract
Having based on the analysis of Pietronero and collaborator s the galaxy number
counts can be considered as an evidence of that the geometry o f the universe is euclidean
and that the K-corrections are absent. In such a universe mea suring the cosmological
redshift of the object and measuring the flux from the object a re inconsistent. It is
considered the model of the universe which describes the abo ve properties.
Authors of [1],[2] claimed that galaxies have a fractal dist ribution with constant D≈2 up
to the deepest scales probed until now 1000 h−1Mpc and may be even more. They showed
that modification of the euclidean geometry and the K-correc tions are not very relevant in
the range of the present data. The use of K-corrections leads to the unstable behaviour
of the number counts, with fractal dimension Dincreasing systematically to substantially
larger values as a function of the depth of the volume limited sample. Quantitatively this
behaviour can be explained as the effect of K-corrections app lied to an underlying galaxy
distribution with fractal dimension D≈2. The use of the FRW geometry instead of the
euclidean geometry is equivalent to an effective K-correcti on. So similar to the use of K-
corrections the use of the FRW geometry leads to the unstable behaviour of the number
counts as a function of depth.
The number counts can be considered as an evidence of that the geometry of the universe
is euclidean rather than FRW and that the K-corrections are s purious. Let us study the uni-
verse with euclidean geometry. It should be noted that here e uclidean geometry is conceived
as a real background of the universe not as an approximation o f the FRW geometry.
In the euclidean geometry, the radial distance rand the angular diameter distance rθare
the same and are given by
r=rθ=c
H0z
1 +z. (1)
The luminosity distance is given by
rL=r(1 +z) =rθ(1 +z) =c
H0z. (2)
From this it follows that the intrinsic luminosity of the obj ectLand the observed flux Fare

1Two factors 1 + zare due to the increase of the scale factor. The third factor 1 +zis due
to the decrease of the frequency of photon. The fourth factor 1 +zis due to that the time
goes faster. The two of four factors 1 + zare absent in the case of euclidean geometry. This
is natural to interprete such that the scale factor grows, th e frequency of photon is constant,
and the flow of time is constant. Since the frequency of photon is constant, K-corrections
are absent. Thus in the universe with the euclidean geometry the K-corrections are absent.
We arrive at the situation where there are two inconsistent t ypes of observations. The
first, when the scale factor do not grow with time a=const, and the clock goes faster
with time ∆ t∝1 +zand correspondingly the frequency of photon decreases with time
ω∝(1 +z)−1. The second, when the scale factor grows with time a∝1 +z, and the
clock goes persistent with time ∆ t=const and correspondingly the frequency of photon
is constant with time ω=const. Below we consider the model of the universe with such
properties.
In the FRW model [3], the universe is considered in the system accompanying to the
matter of the universe. On the contrary, let us consider the u niverse in the laboratory system.
It should be stressed that here we consider the model of the un iverse in the laboratory system
not as an approximation of the FRW model but as a real one. Let t he universe be close.
The total mass of the close universe in the laboratory system is equal to zero. Hence, when
considering the close universe in the laboratory system, th e gravity (matter) of the universe
do not define the evolution of the universe.
So we consider the close universe in the laboratory system. L et the scale factor of the
universe be equal to the size of the horizon at every moment of time
a=ct. (5)
The law (5) can be treated in two ways. The first, the clock goes persistent with time
∆t=const, and the scale factor of the universe grows with time a∝t. The second, the
scale factor is constant with time a=const, and the clock goes faster with time ∆ t∝t. Thus
it is impossible to define simultaneously the growth of the sc ale factor and the acceleration
of the flow of time. The evolution of the universe can be expres sed either as a growth of the
scale factor or as an acceleration of the flow of time. Hence th ere are two inconsistent types
of observations.
Measuring the cosmological redshift of the object correspo nds to the second type. In this
case the scale factor of the receiver and the scale factor of t he emitter are the same ar=ae.
The clock of the receiver goes faster than the clock of the emi tter ∆ tr= ∆te(1+z), and the
spectral line of the receiver is redshifted from the spectra l line of the emitter ωe=ωr(1+z).
Measuring the photon flux from the object through the photome tric band corresponds
to the first type. In this case the scale factors of the receive r and the scale factor of the
emitter are related as ar=ae(1 +z). The clock of the receiver and the clock of the emitter
go concurrently, and the frequency of photon for the receive r and for the emitter is the
sameωr=ωe. Hence the observed flux is a function of redshift F∝r−2
θ(1 +z)−2, and the
K-corrections are absent.
Thus describing the universe in the laboratory system we com e to the conclusion that
the geometry of the universe is euclidean and that the K-corr ections are absent. This is in
agreement with the observed galaxy number counts. It should be noted that there is no
2evidences in favour of the use of the system accompanying to t he matter of the universe for
description of the universe. So the number counts can be cons idered as an evidence in favour
of the use of the laboratory system for description of the uni verse.
The observed behaviour of the number counts is D≈2. Description of the universe
in the laboratory system leads to the fractal structure D= 2 [4]. Sketch how the fractal
structure arises in this case. So we consider the close unive rse in the laboratory system. For
the close universe the mass of the matter is equal to the energ y of selfgravity
mc2=Gm2
a. (6)
From this substituting the law (5) it follows that the scale o f mass grows with time
m=c2
Ga=c3
Gt. (7)
Let photon be emitted from the centre of the laboratory syste m. Then the motion of
photon defines the distance R=ct. Since the scale of mass grows with time, it grows with
the distance from the centre of the laboratory system m∝t∝R. The number of the
particles of the mass Mwithin radius Ris given by
N(< R) =ρR3
M∝R2. (8)
Thus the growth of the scale of mass with time defines the fract al structure of the universe.

We discuss the final stages of double ionization of atoms in a s trong linearly polarized laser field
within a classical model. We propose that all trajectories l eading to non-sequential double ionization
pass close to a saddle in phase space which we identify and cha racterize. The saddle lies in a two
degree of freedom subspace of symmetrically escaping elect rons. The distribution of longitudinal
momenta of ions as calculated within the subspace shows the d ouble hump structure observed in
experiments. Including a symmetric bending mode of the elec trons allows us to reproduce the
transverse ion momenta. We discuss also a path to sequential ionization and show that it does not
lead to the observed momentum distributions.
I. INTRODUCTION
Present day lasers are powerful enough to ionize several
electrons from an atom. The electrons can be removed
one by one in a sequential process or all at once in a non-
sequential process. Independent electron models give ion-
ization rates that are much smaller than experimentally
observed [1], indicating that interactions between elec-
trons are important. A series of most recent experiments
has added the observation that also the final state of
the electrons is dominated by the interactions: the to-
tal momentum of the electrons is aligned along the field
axis [2–5] and the joint distribution of parallel momenta
for the two electrons, in the double ionization experi-
ment [5], has pronounced maxima along the diagonal,
showing that the electrons typically come with the same
momenta. These observations have been reproduced in
numerical simulations with varying approximations and
simplifying assumptions [6,7]. But given the complexity
of the analysis that is required the essential elements are
difficult to identify. As a step towards a better under-
standing we discuss here the pathways to double ioniza-
tion within a classical model for electrons in a combined
Coulomb and external field.
Our aim is not to describe the full ionization process
all the way from the ground state to the final, multiply
ionized state. According to the currently accepted mod-
els [8–13,6,7], the whole process of multiphoton multiple
ionization can naturally be divided into two steps: in the
first step a compound state of highly excited electrons
close to the nucleus is formed and in the second step sev-
eral electrons can escape from this compound state to
produce the multiply ionized final state. We focus on the
last step, the escape of two or more electrons from the
highly excited compound state close to the nucleus.
The formation of the intermediate compound state is
suggested by the rescattering model [8,9] for strong field
multiple ionization. According to this model the en-
hanced cross section for multiple ionization is due to a
rescattering of one electron that is temporarily ionizedand accelerated by the field before it returns to the nu-
cleus when the field reverses. During the collision energy
is transfered to other electrons, but all of this happens
close to the core, where the dynamics of the electrons is
fast and the interactions are strong and non-integrable.
As a consequence, details of the initial preparation pro-
cess are lost. Moreover, the decay of this state is also
quick. The compound state is thus a short lived, highly
unstable complex that separates the first half of the ex-
citation process, whose main contribution is the build up
of energy in the complex, from the second half, where the
decay mode is determined.
The compound state has several decay paths: single
ionization when only one electron escapes to infinity, dou-
ble or multiple ionization with two or more electrons es-
caping to infinity, and the case of a single electron that es-
capes from the neighborhood of the nucleus but is rescat-
tered to the next field reversal: in the latter case the
whole process repeats itself, another compound state is
formed and the decay path has to be selected anew.
We discuss here the further evolution after the forma-
tion of the compound state. To be specific, we will focus
on the escape of two electrons in the following, but the
arguments can easily be extended to the removal of more
than two electrons. The main aim is to identify the chan-
nels that lead to double escape and to study their signa-
tures in the distribution of electron and ion momenta.
Our analysis is purely classical. Given the highly excited
complex from which we start and the multiphoton na-
ture of the process this seems a reasonable point of entry
to the final stage of the ionization process. Our analysis
is very similar to Wanniers approach [14–16,18] to dou-
ble ionization by electron impact. The main difference
is that in the present case one has to take into account
also the external field. Brief summaries of some aspects
of this model have been presented in [17].
The pathways to double ionization are discussed in sec-
tion 2. The dynamics in the C2vandCvsubspaces in-
cluding the effective potential and sample trajectories is
discussed in section 3. A key element of our argument is
1the identification of a saddle in phase space near which
trajectories leading to non-sequential double ionization
have to pass; its properties and stability are discussed in
section 4. The distributions of electron momenta within
theC2vandCvsubspaces are analyzed in section 5. The
dynamics outside these symmetry spaces and sequential
ionization process are discussed in section 6. We conclude
with a summary of the model in section 7.
II. PATHWAYS TO DOUBLE IONIZATION
As described in the introduction we assume an ini-
tial state of two highly excited electrons near the nucleus
which then decays to either single ionization or double
ionization. During this process the linearly polarized
laser field is always on. Therefore, the Hamiltonian con-
sists of three parts,
H=T+Vi+V12 (1)

T=p2

the potential energies associated with the interaction
with the nucleus and the field (polarized along z-axis),
Vi=−2
|r1|−2
|r1|+F(t)z1+F(t)z2 (3)
and the repulsion between the electrons,
V12=1
|r2−r1|. (4)
The electric field strength F(t) has an oscillatory com-
ponent times the envelope from the pulse; the discussion
applies to general F(t), and specific choices have to be
made for the numerical simulations only.
Once the electrons leave the atom the repulsion pushes
them apart and becomes weaker the larger the separa-
tion. Thus in the asymptotic state after ionization and
after the pulse is turned off, repulsion is minimized. In
order to identify the effects of the electron repulsion on
the full process it is instructive to consider the double
ionization events without repulsion first. This will be
presented in the next section. The pathways with elec-
tron repulsion included will be presented thereafter.
A. Without electron repulsion
The Hamiltonian for two electrons without electron re-
pulsion splits into two independent Hamiltonians for each
electron. In view of the fast motion of the electrons close
to the nucleus we will frequently use an adiabatic as-
sumption and discuss motion of the electrons in a fieldwith fixed amplitude F. Note, however, that all simula-
tions use the full time-dependent field and do not make
use of this adiabatic assumption. With this assumption
each electron moves in a constant electric field, one of the
few non-trivial integrable problems. The initial energy
and the other constants of motion of each electron are
fixed by the initial conditions (in the compound state)
and do not change. Double ionization can thus occur
only if both electrons individually have enough energy
to ionize (and have the other constants of motion so as
to allow ionization). The threshold for ionization is set
by the field strength: if the field is non-zero a Stark
saddle forms and the total energy has to be above the
Stark saddle. For a constant field strength Fthe saddle
lies at |zF|=/radicalbig
2/|F|and has a potential energy (single
electron) VF=−2/radicalbig
2|F|. Therefore, double ionization
is excluded if the total energy for both electrons is less
than 2 VF. For E= 2VFthe only path leading to double
ionization has both electrons with the same energy. For
E >2VFdouble ionization becomes possible even with
slight asymmetries in the energy distribution.
In the full system of two electrons without repulsion
but in a time-dependent field integrability is lost but sep-
arability is still preserved. As discussed in the introduc-
tion the initial state is a compound state with negative
energy for each electron. If that energy is above the Stark
saddle and if the motion is directed towards it the elec-
trons can cross and run away from the nucleus. Once
they cross the saddle they have to gain energy to escape
from the Coulomb attraction when the field is turned off.
This happens essentially by running down the potential
energy slope on the other side of the saddle while the field
is still on. This mechanism of energy gain is the same as
in the interacting electron case.
B. With electron repulsion
With the electron repulsion included the common
Stark saddle at zFis no longer accessible since the elec-
trons cannot sit on top of each other. The best that can
be achieved is a symmetric arrangement of both elec-
trons in the same distance from the nucleus and sym-
metric with respect to the field axis. If the distances
are not the same, electron repulsion will push the elec-
tron that is further out away from the nucleus and thus
help towards ionization, but the one further in has to
face not only Coulomb attraction but also the repulsion
from the one further out. Thus repulsion acts so as to
amplify differences in energy in this configuration. The
configuration that is singled out is a symmetric one, with
both electrons moving at the same distance from the nu-
cleus. Deviations from this configuration will be ampli-
fied sufficiently so that non-sequential double ionization
is suppressed and only single ionization takes place. A
remaining electron can, however, be still ionized if its en-
ergy is higher than the saddle energy for a single electron
2atom and, in the adiabatic picture, the other constants of
motions allow to do so. In such sequential ionization cor-
relations between escaping electrons are strongly weak-
ened, that is the final momenta of the electrons along the
polarization axis can be either parallel or anti-parallel.
III. DYNAMICS IN THE C2VAND CV
SUBSPACES
A two electron atom illuminated by a linearly polar-
ized electromagnetic wave possesses some symmetry sub-
spaces. The simplest C2vsymmetric configuration corre-
sponds to both electrons moving in a plane which con-
tains the field polarization axis and with positions and
momenta symmetric with respect to this axis. The elec-
trons put in such a configuration never leave it because
there is no force which can pull them out of the subspace.
The symmetry subspace can be enlarged. That is, with
additional bending motion of the electrons with respect
to the field axis the symmetry subspace is Cv.
The symmetric configurations become more apparent
in suitably chosen coordinates. We apply the canonical
transformation
R= (ρ1+ρ2)/2, p R=pρ1+pρ2
r= (ρ1−ρ2)/2, p r=pρ1−pρ2
Z= (z1+z2)/2, p Z=pz1+pz2
z= (z1−z2)/2, p z=pz1−pz2,
ϕ=ϕ1+ϕ2, L= (pϕ1+pϕ2)/2
φ=ϕ1−ϕ2, pφ= (pϕ1−pϕ2)/2 (5)
where ( ρi, zi, ϕi) are cylindrical coordinates of the elec-
trons, labeled i= 1 and 2. For double ionization in lin-
early polarized laser field the total angular momentum
projection on the polarization axis is conserved. The ex-
periments begin with atoms in the ground state, thus, for
the field directed along the z-axis we may choose L= 0.
Then the Hamiltonian of the system reads

F,ωandθthe peak amplitude, frequency and initial

Setting r= 0,pr= 0,z= 0 and pz= 0 we define the

(forr= 0), so that the derivatives with respect to randz
vanish: once the electrons are in the symmetry subspace
r=z= 0 and pr=pz= 0, they cannot leave it.

Let us begin with an analysis of the motion in the C2v
subspace. The electrons move in a plane and their posi-
tions ( ρi=R,zi=Z) in that plane and their momenta
(pρi=pR/2,pzi=pZ/2) are the same.
The adiabatic potential (12) for fixed time correspond-
ing to the maximal field amplitude F= 0.137 a.u., i.e.
an intensity of 6 .6·1014W/cm2, is shown in Fig. 1a.

The energy of the saddle is
VS=−6/radicalBig
|F(t)|/√
3. (14)
For the above mentioned field the saddle has an energy
ofVS=−1.69 a.u..
If we switch off the repulsion between the electrons the
saddle will move onto the Z-axis, i.e. both electrons are
allowed to escape symmetrically on top of each other.
Slow switching on the repulsion results in a change of
the positions of the saddles experienced by each elec-
tron. The repulsion separates the saddles which finally
are situated at some distance from the Z-axis.
A typical trajectory within the symmetric configura-
tion for ω= 0.057 a.u. (800 nm) is shown in Fig. 2.
During the ramping of the field the electronic motion is
little influenced by the electric field, but during the third
half cycle of the field the saddle is close enough to the
electron orbits and ionization takes place. Once on the
other side of the saddle, the electrons rapidly gain en-
ergy. The saddle thus provides a kind of transition state
[19,20] for the correlated double ionization process: once
the electrons cross it, they are accelerated by the field
and pulled further away, making a return rather unlikely.
Moreover, the electrons can acquire the missing energy so
that both can escape to infinity even when the field van-
ishes. Note that before the double ionization occurs the
effect of the field on the electrons is minimal, supporting
the adiabatic assumption.
In the experiments [2–5] ion momenta both parallel
and transverse to the field are measured. For ω=
0.057 a.u. momentum transfer by photons is negligible,
so the ion momentum reflects the sum of the momenta of
the emitted electrons, p1+p2=−pion. Symmetric mo-
tion in the C2vsubspace takes place in a plane and conse-
quently the total transverse momentum of the electronsis zero. In the Cvsubspace the electrons are permitted to
leave the plane, and this is a minimal extension to allow
ions to have non-vanishing final transverse momenta.

saddle. Note that before the double ionization occurs the ef -
fect of the field on the electrons is minimal, supporting the
adiabatic assumption. Panel (b) energy of the electrons. No te
that the initial state has negative total energy and cannot l ead
to double ionization. The energy increases once the electro ns
have escaped from the nucleus far enough so that acceleratio n
by the electric field dominates.
The sections through equipotential surfaces of Eq. (10)
forφ=πandφ=π/4 are shown in Fig. 1. Increasing or
decreasing φfromπresults in greater repulsion energy
between the electrons. So the electrons can escape, with
the coordinate φ/negationslash=π, only if the energy is greater than
the saddle energy, Eq. (14).
We discuss here double ionization of atoms but the
analysis of a symmetric escape can be easily extended to
a multiple ionization process [17]. Especially for Nelec-
trons the symmetric subspace corresponding to Nparti-
cles symmetrically distributed in the plane perpendicular
to the polarization axis is CNv. The analysis of the mul-
tiple ionization will be published elsewhere.
IV. THE SADDLE
Within the adiabatic assumption and for a fixed exter-
nal field strength non-sequential double ionization hinges
on the crossing of the saddle in the C2vsubspace. For
the dynamics within the subspace this is obvious from the
potential. For the motion in the full six-dimensional con-
figuration space this is less clear. One possibility to gain
insight locally near the saddle is a harmonic analysis and
a determination of the frequencies of small deviations.
Within the C2vsymmetric subspace there is one hyper-
bolic mode corresponding to motion across the saddle
(the ’reaction coordinate’, in chemical physics parlance
4[19,20]) and a stable one to perpendicular variations. In
the full space we expect at least one additional unstable
one, corresponding to the amplification of energy differ-
ences mentioned before in section (IIB). The analysis in
this section is for fixed field strength, for electron dynam-
ics in a constant external field, justified by the adiabatic
reasoning.

Theφ-degree of freedom corresponds to a bending mo-
tion of the electrons against each other and is stable on
account of the repulsive nature of the Coulomb force.
This degree of freedom is also the one that comes in by
going from the C2vsubspace to the Cvsubspace.
Diagonalization in the ( R−RS, Z−ZS) space reveals
one stable and one unstable mode. The latter corre-
sponds to the reaction coordinate and its Lyapunov expo-
nent is µ≈2.43F3/4. Similar analysis in the ( r, z) space
yields another stable and unstable mode with Lyapunov
exponent ν≈3.14F3/4. The direction of the unstable
mode is ( wr, wz)≈(0.43w, w) and it corresponds to the
situation when one electron escapes and the other one is
turned back to the nucleus. That is, with positive and in-
creasing wthe first electron moves away from the nucleus,
i.e.ρ1=RS+wrandz1=ZS+wzgrow [see (5)], while
the other one returns to the nucleus, i.e. ρ1=RS−wr
andz1=ZS−wzdecrease.
All in all there are three stable modes and two un-
stable ones. Any energy contained in the stable modes
is preserved and cannot be transferred to kinetic energy
along the reaction coordinates. Whether single or dou-
ble ionization occurs is thus determined solely by the
energy and initial conditions in the two hyperbolic sub-
spaces. For energy equal to the saddle energy only a
trajectory within the C2vsymmetry subspace leads to
non-sequential escape – any deviation from the subspace
are growing faster than the escape along the reaction co-
ordinate since ν > µ . For energy higher than the saddle
some deviations from the symmetry subspace are allowed.
In particular, following Wanniers lead and Rosts gener-
alization [14–16,18] it is possible to estimate the critica l
behavior for the double ionization cross section at thresh-
old. It is algebraic with the exponent given by the ratio of
the positive Lyapunov exponents of the unstable modes.
A detailed discussion of this is outside the main line of
our arguments here and will be given elsewhere.
It is instructive to actually calculate numbers for the
Lyapunov exponents in the two directions. For laserswith the maximal field strength of F= 0.137 a.u. we
find 1/µ= 1.8 a.u. and 1 /ν= 1.4 a.u.. Compared to the
period of the laser, 2 π/ω= 110 .2 a.u. this is rather fast,
indicating that the crossing of the saddle and the separa-
tion away from the double ionization manifold take place
rather quickly. This justifies also our adiabatic analysis
in this section.
V. FINAL STATE MOMENTA DISTRIBUTION
WITHIN THE SYMMETRIC SUBSPACES
So far we have discussed the phase space features in an
adiabatic approximation for fixed field strengths. Now
we will use this to draw conclusions about the experi-
mentally observed signatures, specifically about the dis-
tributions of ion momenta in the final state. This can be
calculated within the Cvsubspace by averaging over all
initial conditions and all phases of the field.
A. Parameters of the model
The rescattering of an electron leads to a highly excited
complex of total energy Ewhich is one of the parame-
ters of our model. The maximal energy a rescattering
electron can bring in has been estimated to be about
3.17Up[8,9], where Upis the ponderomotive energy of an
electron. For the weakest field used in the experiment
on double ionization of He atoms [2] this maximal en-
ergy barely corresponds to the ionization energy of the
He1+ions. We therefore assume in the following that
the highly excited complex has a negative initial energy,
E <0.
The absence of detailed knowledge of the structure of
the initial compound nucleus suggests to average over the
initial configurations. However, even for a negative en-
ergy and fixed time it is difficult to define a microcanon-
ical distribution of initial conditions for the Hamiltonia n
(9) since, for non-zero external field, the system is open.
Therefore, we choose for the calculations initial condi-
tions from the energy shell that also lie in the hypersur-
faceZ= 0. The results are not sensitive to a particular
choice of the hypersurface but the one for Z= 0 has the
advantage that the dipole moment along the filed is zero
and the choice of the initial conditions does not depend
on the initial field phase.
The second parameter, in addition to the energy, is the
timet0during the pulse Eq. (8) when the highly excited
complex is formed. The rescattering event is not possible
at the beginning of the pulse, so one has to start simula-
tions somewhere in the middle of the pulse. In Fig. 3 and
4 final distributions of ion momenta for the initial energy
E=−0.1 a.u., field strength F= 0.137 a.u. and dif-
ferent initial time t0are shown. The distributions of the
transverse momenta are almost the same but the ones for
5the parallel momenta differ. The latter reveal a double
hump structure with widths sensitive to the initial time.

sentially the same independently if one chooses t0before or

results are based on integrations of about 8 ·104trajectories.

of the parallel momentum distribution can be estimated as

The maximum energy that can be acquired by a free
electron in the field is 2 Up. So, for parallel emission of
two electrons, the maximal parallel ion momentum can
be estimated as
ppar= 2/radicalbig
4Up= 2Ff(t)/ω. (16)If we substitute in Eq. (16) t=t0we find values which
correspond very well to the widths of the distributions in
Fig. 3 and 4. The figures indicate also that the widths
are the same independently if t0is chosen before or after
the peak of the pulse provided f(t0) is the same. This
implies that the dominant ionizations take place in the
first field cycle after the complex is formed. Fitting the
width of the calculated distribution to the experimental
results allows one to estimate the moment in the pulse
when majority of doubly ionized ions are created.

and different initial energy: E=−0.05 a.u. [panels (a)-(b)],
E=−0.5 a.u. [panels (c)-(d)] and E=−1.5 a.u. [panels
(e)-(f)].
Now we fix t0and change the initial energy E; the
results are shown in Fig. 5. For the lowest energy,
E=−1.5 a.u., the transverse momentum distribution
is narrower than for higher energies. E=−1.5 a.u. is
actually very close to the minimal saddle energy for the
applied field, VS=−1.69 a.u.. Thus the effect is natural
as, close to the saddle energy, only trajectories near the
C2vsubspace can cross the saddle and those with φ/negationslash=π
bounce back from the potential barrier and do not ionize.
While the width of the distributions of the parallel
momenta do not change significantly their shapes do, es-
pecially for the initial energy close to the saddle. The
electrons that cross the saddle when the energy is near
VSare slow and the combined interactions of the external
and Coulomb fields shapes the distributions. This is dif-
ferent from the high energy case: then shortly after the
electrons cross the saddle the interaction with the elec-
tric field is stronger than the attraction to the nucleus
and the distribution is mostly shaped by the laser field.
The initial energy of the complex is the higher the
higher intensity of the laser is and the larger the energy a
rescattered electron can bring in [8,9]. From the depen-
6dence of the distributions on the initial energy we may
conclude that in the experiment the shape of the distri-
bution of the parallel ion momenta should change char-
acter when the laser intensity increases. For the intensity
at the threshold for non-sequential double ionization the
distribution with single maximum around zero momen-
tum is expected; for higher intensities the double hump
structure should turn up.

All numerical results have been obtained for initial con-
ditions taken from the Cvsymmetry subspace. Our re-sults for the C2vsubspace for parallel momentum dis-
tributions are essentially the same. The transverse mo-
menta of ions for the C2vsubspace are, however, zero
because of the symmetry assumption.
After this discussion of the two parameters (initial en-

comparisons with experimental observations.
B. Comparison with experimental results
Weber et al. [2] carried out double ionization exper-
iments with He atoms and measured the distributions
of ion momenta. They applied infrared (800 nm) laser
pulses of the duration 220 fs (measured on the half
peak value) and with the peak intensities in the range
(2.9−6.6)×1014W/cm2. In Fig. 6 and 7 we show the
experimental distributions and compare with those cal-
culated in the Cvsubspace. The agreement is remarkable
except for the parallel momentum distribution in Fig. 7
where the calculated distribution possesses a much more
pronounced minimum than in the experiment and the
positions of the peaks do not exactly coincide with the
experimental values.

in the focus of 795 nm, 30 fs (i.e. about 11 ×2π/ω) laser
pulses at peak intensity of 13 ×1014W/cm2(i.e. for the
field strength F= 0.192 a.u.) from [4]. Panels (c)-(d): the
corresponding distributions calculated in the Cvsymmetry
subspace for the initial energy E=−0.3 a.u. and t0= 0.4Td
where Td/2 = 11 ×2π/ω, see Eq. 8.
There are a few possible sources for these discrepancies.
First, the pulse duration in the experiment was about 8
times longer than in the simulations. The slow ramp-
ing of the field in the experiment implies that the initial
timet0of the ionization is less well defined, i.e. there are
contributions from some range of t0. There are also con-
tributions from different initial energies. Secondly, real
ionizing trajectories do not live exactly in the symmetry
7subspace but close to it, leading to asymmetries and ad-
ditional differences in the final momenta. And there are
also possible contributions from sequential double ioniza -
tion events (see below).
Moshammer et al. [4] performed experiments with Ne
atoms for much shorter pulses, i.e. 30 fs and for radiation
with similar wave length (795 nm) as the previous group.
The comparison of our calculations with this experiment
are presented in Fig. 8. Interactions of the two excited
electrons with the other electrons are neglected in our
model and the energy values used in the calculations are
measured with respect to the threshold for the two elec-
tron continuum (i.e. about 2.3 a.u.). The agreement is
even better than for the case of He atoms. This is pre-
sumably due to the much shorter pulse duration and the
fasted ramping of the field, so that the time t0when the
majority of the ionization events happen is much better
defined.

VI. SEQUENTIAL DOUBLE IONIZATION
Already from the experiment it is clear that double
ionization is a rare process, e.g. outnumbered by singleionization by about 104: 1 for He atoms and field inten-
sity 2.9·1014W/cm2[2]. Hence arbitrarily chosen ini-
tial conditions in the full space will typically not lead to
double ionization and numerical simulations of the whole
process are rather unattainable.
We have discussed the non-sequential double escape
of the electrons considering trajectories within the sym-
metry subspace. Motion in the symmetry subspace is
unstable, that is deviations from the subspace will be
amplified leading to single rather than double ionization.
We can illustrate this with trajectories started slightly
outside the symmetry plane (Fig. 9). Fig 9a shows ini-
tial conditions on the saddle and symmetrically escaping
electrons. For some deviation from symmetry, one elec-
tron escapes, the other remains trapped to the nucleus
(Fig. 9b).
It is possible, however, that the second electron returns
to the nucleus but picks up enough energy to ionize itself
(Fig. 9c). In the adiabatic picture, if the energy of the
remaining electron is higher than the saddle for a sin-
gle electron atom, VF=−2/radicalbig
2|F|, whether the electron
stays trapped or escapes depends on the other constants
of motion (besides the energy) in this integrable system.
The second electron can thus escape during the same half
field cycle as the first one but its final parallel momen-
tum component need not be related to that of the first
electron, as is shown in Fig. 9c.

[panel (b)]. The initial conditions for the electrons have b een
chosen to satisfy E=E1+E2with the restrictions E1<0
andE2<0. The saddle energy for a single electron is
VF=−1.05 a.u.. The results in each panel are based on
about 1 .5·106trajectories.
We are not able to calculate the contribution of sequen-
tial events to the double ionization process but we can
estimate the distribution of the final ion momenta if the
sequential process were dominant. To simulate sequen-
tial escape one may return to a non-interacting electron
model, essentially since the electrons cross the barrier at
different times. In the model the initial conditions for
each electron are chosen independently, constraint only
by the requirement that the total initial energy is fixed
8E=E1+E2and that E1<0 and E1<0. Simulta-
neous double ionization are not explicitly excluded, but
events with delayed ionization are more probable, so that
the distributions can still reflect the contributions from
sequential ionization.
In Fig. 10 the distributions of parallel ion momenta
forE=−0.8 a.u. and E=−0.1 a.u., calculated in the
non-interacting electrons model for F= 0.137 a.u, are
plotted. The figure should be compared with the figures
from the previous section. The conclusion is straightfor-
ward: the non-interacting electrons model is not able to
reproduce correlations between the electrons observed in
the experiments. Moreover, sequential escape can not be
a dominant mechanism for double ionization in the range
of the field intensities considered here.
VII. CONCLUSIONS
We have considered the process of double ionization
of atoms in a strong, linearly polarized field for inten-
sities below the saturation of single electron ionization.
We have developed a model for non-sequential double
ionization within classical mechanics. The process has
been divided into two stages: in the first one a rescat-
tering process leads to a highly excited complex of two
electrons. In the second stage, an ionization of such com-
pound state takes place. We have focused on the latter
stage considering different pathways to double escape of
the electrons.
The excited complex can doubly ionize even when its
energy is negative because the external field opens up
saddles for electron escape. The pathway favored by
the Coulomb interactions and the field is simultaneous
symmetric escape of both electrons. Deviations form the
symmetric configurations are amplified by the repulsion
between the electrons which pulls one electron to infinity
but the other one is pushed back to the nucleus. There-
fore we propose that non-sequential double ionization is
dominated by motions of electrons in or near the sym-
metric subspace with the saddle.
The requirement of the symmetric motion greatly sim-
plifies the analysis which then can be carried out for the
three- or even two-dimensional effective potential. The
trajectory simulations within the symmetric configura-
tions turns out to reproduce the experimentally observed
ion momenta distributions very well. We have also con-
sidered an alternative mechanism of the ionization, i.e.
sequential escape of the electrons. By means of the non-
interacting electrons model we show that the sequential
ionization is not able to explain the experimentally ob-
served electrons correlations.
The modeling of the experimental distributions re-
quires information on two parameters, the initial energy
and the time of formation, which reflect a lack of knowl-
edge on the compound state and the ramping of the field.
The dependence of the momentum distributions on theparameters and comparison with the experimental results
give insights into the dynamics of double ionization.
The analysis in the present paper has been restricted
to double ionization but its extension to multiple escape
is straightforward and will be given elsewhere. In its cur-
rent form the model is applicable for linearly polarized
fields only. For other polarizations the number of rescat-
tering events is greatly reduced. However, for some el-
liptically polarized field, if an electron is driven back to
the core and a highly excited complex is formed, in the
adiabatic approximation the symmetric configuration of
the electrons can be defined with respect to the tempo-
rary electric field axis. Then one can proceed with the
analysis as for the linearly polarized case.
Our whole discussion has a more than superficial sim-
ilarity with Wanniers analysis of double ionization by
electron impact [14–16]. The main differences are the
presence of a field and its time dependence, which en-
larges phase space and complicates the identification of
the transition state. In the adiabatic approximation at
fixed field strength we could identify this saddle in the
C2vsubspace. The comparison with experiments is com-
plicated furthermore by the necessity to average over
initial energy and time of preparation of the compound
state. Thus, signatures one might attribute to Wanniers
analysis, such as threshold exponents (they follow imme-
diately from the stability analysis of the saddle, but are
not easy to verify), will be even more difficult to study.
But we have no doubt that the observation of the corre-
lated escape of the electrons [5] is a clear signature of the
existence and dominance of the saddle and the pathways
to double ionization which we discuss here.

Abstract
Confinement phenomenology characteristic of magnetically confined plas-
mas emerges naturally from a simple sandpile algorithm when the parameter
controlling redistribution scalelength is varied. Close a nalogues are found for
enhanced confinement, edge pedestals, and edge localised mo des (ELMs), and
for the qualitative correlations between them. These resul ts suggest that toka-
mak observations of avalanching transport are deeply linke d to the existence

2The introduction of the sandpile paradigm [1]- [3] into magn etized plasma physics (fusion
[4]- [10], magnetospheric [11]- [13], and accretion disk [1 4]- [16]: for recent reviews see Ref.
[17,18]) has opened new conceptual avenues. It provides a fr amework within which observa-
tions of rapid nondiffusive nonlocal transport phenomena ca n be studied; recent examples
include analyses of auroral energy deposition derived from global imaging [13], and of elec-
tron temperature fluctuations in the DIII-D tokamak [10], bo th of which involve avalanching.
Insofar as such phenomena resemble those in experimental sa ndpiles or mathematically ide-
alized models thereof, they suggest that the confinement phy sics of macroscopic systems
(plasma and other) may reflect unifying underlying principl es.
In this paper we present results suggesting that this unity m ay extend to some of the most
distinctive features of toroidal magnetic plasma confineme nt: enhanced confinement regimes
(“H-modes”), edge localised modes (“ELMs”), steep edge gra dients (“edge pedestal”), and
their observed phenomenological and statistical correlat ions – for recent quantitative studies,
see for example Refs. [19–21] and references therein. An imp ortant question is whether the
L to H transition necessarily reflects a catastrophic bifurc ation of confinement properties,
or can be associated with a monotonic change in the character of the turbulence [21]. We
show that key elements of the observed phenomenology emerge naturally from a simple
one-dimensional sandpile model, that of Chapman [22] (here after CDH), which incorporates
other established models [1,23] as limiting cases. The cent rally fueled (at cell n= 1) CDH
model’s distinctive algorithmic feature relates to the loc al redistribution of sand at a cell
(say at n=k) where the critical gradient zcis exceeded: the sandpile is flattened behind
the unstable cell over a “fluidization length” Lf, embracing the cells n=k−(Lf−1), k−
(Lf−2), ..., k; and this sand is conservatively relocated to the cell at n=k+ 1. In Ref. [22]
the CDH sandpile is explored for all regimes 1 < L f< Nfor both constant and fluctuating
critical gradient zc. Here we consider the dynamics of the more realistic case wit h random
fluctuations in zc; the system is robust in that once fluctuations are introduce d in the critical
gradient, the behavior is essentially insensitive to both t heir level and spectral properties
[22], see also Ref. [17]. The limit Lf= 1 is the fixed point corresponding to the centrally
3fueled algorithm of Ref. [1] in one dimension. In the limit Lf=N(where Nis the number of
cells in the sandpile) the sandpile is flattened everywhere b ehind an unstable cell as in Refs.
[23,17]. A real space renormalization group approach [24] s hows that the robust scale free
dynamics for the limiting case Lf=Ncorresponds to a nontrivial (repulsive) fixed point
(see e.g. Ref. [3]). The essential result of Ref. [22] is that different regimes of avalanche
statistics emerge, resembling a transition from regular to intermittent dynamics reminiscent
of deterministic chaos. The control parameter is the normal ized redistribution scalelength
Lf/Nwhich specifies whether the system is close to the nontrivial Lf=Nfixed point.
Height profiles for a CDH sandpile with 512 cells, time averag ed over many thousands of
avalanches, are shown in Fig.1 for three different values of t he fluidization length Lfin the
range 50 < L f<250. The sandpile profile shape, stored gravitational poten tial energy, and
edge structure (smooth decline or pedestal) correlate with each other and with Lf. AsLf
is reduced, the edge pedestal steepens and the time averaged stored energy rises; multiple
“barriers” (regions of steep gradient) are visible in trace (a) and to some extent trace (b)
of Fig.1. Time evolution of the CDH sandpile for Lf= 50,150, and 250 respectively is
quantified in Figs.2-4. The top traces show total stored ener gy; the middle traces show the
position of the edge of the sandpile (the last occupied cell) ; and the bottom traces show
the magnitude and occurrence times of mass loss events (here after MLEs) in which sand
is lost from the system by being transferred beyond the 512th cell. Time is normalized to
the mean inter-avalanche time ∆ τ(proportional to the fueling rate). The CDH sandpile
is fueled only at the first cell, so that the great majority of a valanches terminate before
reaching the 512th cell (these are classified as internal). W hile internal avalanches result in
energy dissipation (recorded in the upper traces of Figs.2- 4), and may alter the position of
the edge of the sandpile, they do not result in an MLE; there ar e corresponding periods of
quiescence in the middle and lower traces of Figs.2-4. Conve rsely the MLEs are associated
with sudden inward movement of the sandpile edge, and in this important sense appear to
be edge localised. However, MLEs and the associated inward e dge movement are in fact the
result of systemwide avalanches triggered at the sandpile c enter (cell n= 1). The character
4of the MLEs changes with Lf. In Fig.2, where the mean and peak stored energy are greatest ,
the MLEs are similar to each other and occur with some regular ity. The regularity of MLE
occurrence in Fig.3 is less marked, the magnitude of the larg est MLEs is greater than in
Fig.2, and there is greater spread in MLE size. This trend con tinues in Fig.4, which also has
the lowest stored energy. These effects correlate with the un derlying dynamics of the CDH
sandpile. Figure 5 plots the relation between average store d energy and Lffor the N= 512
system and much larger N= 4096 and 8192 systems (normalized to the system size N).
The curves coincide, demonstrating invariance with respec t to system size, with an inverse
power law with slope close to −2 for Lf/N < 1/4, and a break at Lf/N∼1/4. These
two regimes yield the quasi-regular and quasi-intermitten t dynamics in Figs.2-4 (see also
the plot of avalanche length distribution against Lfin Fig.8 of Ref. [22]). The parameter
Lf/Nis a measure of proximity of this high dimensional system to t heLf=Nnontrivial
fixed point. This determines both the apparent complexity of the timeseries in Figs.2-4 and
the underlying statistical simplicity described below, wh ich is also invariant with respect to
system size.
There is systematic correlation between time averaged stor ed energy < E > and MLE
frequency fMLE, as shown in Fig.6. To obtain these curves, which are again no rmalized to
system size, we have derived MLE frequencies using a standar d algorithm previously used
[20] to assign frequencies to ELMs observed in tokamak plasm as in the Joint European Torus
(JET). Since the CDH sandpile often generates bursts of mass loss with structure down to the
smallest timescales, which might not be resolvable under ex perimental conditions, we have
followed Ref. [20] in applying a (relatively narrow) measur ement window of width 450∆ τto
obtain fMLE. The correlation between < E > andfMLEis a noteworthy emergent property,
furthermore Fig.6’s characteristic curve is very similar t o that of Fig.6 of Ref. [19], which
relates measured energy confinement to ELM frequency in JET. Energy confinement time
τccan be defined for the CDH sandpile by dividing the time averag ed stored energy < E >
by the time averaged energy dissipation rate <∆E >(where ∆ Eis the energy dissipated
in a single avalanche). The embedded plot of Fig. 6 shows τcagainst MLE frequency fMLE.
5Finally, we explore the situation where there is a secular ch ange in the redistribution
algorithm: in Fig.7, Lfdecreases slowly, continuously, and linearly with time, fr om one
constant value to another over a period encompassing many te ns of thousands of avalanches.
There is a corresponding time evolution of the energy confine ment properties of the sandpile
and of the character of the MLEs. Figure 7(top) shows total st ored energy as a function of
time as Lfchanges from 250 at t= 4×104to 50 at t= 1.15×105, while ∼105avalanches
occur: over a period of time corresponding to a few tens of MLE s, the system smoothly
evolves from low to high confinement. This is accompanied by a gradual change in character
of the time variation in the sandpile edge (position of last o ccupied cell, Fig.7(middle)) and of
the MLEs (Fig.7(lower)), from large amplitude to small and f rom irregular to regular. Figure
7 can perhaps be regarded as the CDH sandpile analogue of, for example, Fig.2 of Ref. [20] or
Fig.2 of [21]. The essential point here is that the sandpile a pparently freely explores phase
space with changing control parameter Lf/N. Characteristic properties of the dynamics
(whether quasi-regular or quasi-intermittent) and corres pondingly, confinement properties
(such as stored energy and MLE characteristics) smoothly fo llow changes in this parameter
rather than exhibiting a sudden phase transition or catastr ophe.
By varying a single control parameter in the CDH sandpile alg orithm, we have shown
correlations between: stored energy, confinement times, sa ndpile profile, sandpile edge struc-
ture, and the amplitude, frequency, and dynamical characte r of mass loss events. We have
also seen how slow secular change in the control parameter pr oduces a smooth evolution in
confinement properties. If a single control parameter analo gous to Lf/Nexists for tokamaks,
it can in principle be found from experimental data by examin ing scaling with respect to
system size as above.
The existence of such extensive tokamak-like phenomenolog y, emergent from a very sim-
ple system, is a novel discovery. Insofar as the phenomenolo gical resemblance is close, there
is more to be learnt. A minimalist interpretation starts fro m the premise that the CDH
sandpile algorithm provides a simple one-parameter model f or studying generic nonlocal
transport, conditioned by a critical gradient, in a macrosc opic confinement system. Chang-
6ing the value of the single control parameter Lfthen corresponds to altering the range in
configuration space over which the transport process operat es. It then follows from the
results in the present paper that this may be the minimum requ irement to generate those
aspects of tokamak-like confinement phenomenology describ ed. This is a significant conclu-
sion, but one can consider a more far-reaching one. A possibl e maximalist interpretation
attaches greater weight to recent observations [6,9,10] of avalanching transport in tokamaks
and in largescale numerical simulations [7,8] thereof, and therefore regards the avalanch-
ing transport that is built into sandpile algorithms as an ad ditional point of contact with
magnetically confined plasmas. One would then infer from the present results that toka-
mak observations of avalanching transport are deeply linke d to the existence of enhanced
confinement and ELMs.

Naval Research Laboratory, Plasma Physics Division, Washington D.C.
Researchers claim to have observed superluminal (faster than light) propagation of
a laser pulse in a gain medium by a new mechanism in which there is no distortionof the pulse. Our analysis shows that the observed mechanism is due to pulsedistortion arising from a differential gain effect and should not be viewed assuperluminal propagation.
In a recent article in Nature [1], titled Gain-assisted superluminal light
propagation , experimentalists reported observing a laser pulse propagating faster than the
speed of light through a gas cell which served as a amplifying medium. They state thatthe "peak of the pulse appears to leave the cell before entering it". This article generateda great deal of press attention around the world. For example, reports appeared in CNN
and in newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Washington Post,
South China Morning Post, India Today , and the Guardian of London [2].
The objective of this paper is to analyze, discuss and comment on the conclusions
reached in Ref. 1 and related studies [3]. We show that the theory on which thissuperluminal interpretation was based is inaccurate because of an inconsistency in theordering of the terms kept in the analysis. Our analysis of the experiment shows that themechanism responsible for the so-called "superluminal propagation" can be attributed todifferential gain of the laser pulse. That is, the front of the laser pulse is amplified more2than the back, causing the pulse shape to be tilted towards the front. The leading edge of
the distorted pulse, however, propagates at the speed of light, as one would expect. Theauthors of Ref. 1 specifically discount this explanation. They claim that superluminalpropagation is observed "while the shape of the pulse is preserved" and "the argumentthat the probe pulse is advanced by amplification of its front edge does not apply" in thepresent experiment. Our analysis indicates that these claims are incorrect.
In the experiment a long laser pulse was passed through an amplifying medium
consisting of a specially prepared caesium gas cell of length 6=L cm, as depicted in
Fig. 1. The laser pulse of duration
7.3=T µsec was much longer (1.1 km) than the gas
cell, so that at any given instant only a small portion of the pulse was inside the cell. By
measuring the pulse amplitude at the exit, they claim that both the front and the backedges of the pulse were shifted forward in time by the same amount relative to a pulsethat propagated through vacuum.
The following analysis considers a laser pulse propagating in a general dispersive
and amplifying medium characterized by a frequency dependent complex refractive index
)(
ωn . To determine the evolution of the pulse envelope we represent the laser electric
field amplitude as
() .. ) ( exp),()2/1(),( cc t zki tzA tzEo o + − = ω ,( 1 )
where ),(tzA is complex and denotes the slowly varying laser pulse envelope,
c n ko o o /)(ωω= is the complex wavenumber, oωis the carrier frequency and c.c
denotes the complex conjugate. The field is polarized in the transverse direction and
propagates in the z-direction. Since ok is complex, the factor () zko) Im( exp− represents
an overall amplification of the pulse at frequency oω which does not result in pulse3distortion. The deviation of the refractive index from unity, i.e., 1 )( )( −=∆ ωω n n , is
small in the reported experiment and it is therefore legitimate to neglect the reflection of
the laser pulse at the entrance and exit of the gas cell.
The envelope equation describing the evolution of a laser pulse propagating in a
general dispersive medium has been derived elsewhere [4]. For a one-dimensional laserpulse the envelope equation is given by

(2) is derived by substituting the field representation given by Eq. (1) into the linearized
wave equation and performing a spectral analysis [4,5] that involves expanding the
refractive index about the carrier frequency oω and neglecting reflected waves. These
assumptions are valid when the refractive index is close to unity and the spectral width of
the pulse is narrow. We limit our analysis to terms of order 2κ, i.e., to lowest order in
group velocity dispersion; this is sufficient for the present purpose. In a vacuum,

evaluate the integral in Eq. (3), the exponentials in the small quantities should be

The quantity ()[] ) 1/( /11κ ωω c c cn vp +=∂∂=− defines the group velocity of a pulse in
a dispersive medium. However, in addition to cases where pv is abnormal i.e., greater
than c or negative, there are other instances in which the concept of group velocity does
not represent the pulse velocity. These include situations where the interaction length, L,is less than the phase mixing length associated with the spectral components of the pulse,or when L is much less than the pulse length. These conditions apply in the experimentof Ref. 1.5The exact solution, given by Eq. (5), to the approximate envelope equation can
lead to unphysical conclusions since it implies that the pulse propagates undistorted with
velocity pv [3]. For example, if 0 1 1<<−κc , the pulse velocity exceeds c. For the
parameters in Ref. 1, however, 1κc is essentially real and < -1, giving a negative pulse
velocity, 310 /c p−=ν . They have, as well as others, ascribed physical meaning to this
by considering the delay time cL L T p / /−=∆ν , defined as the difference in the pulse
transit time in the gain medium and in vacuum [1,6]. Since 310 /c p−=ν in Ref. 1, the
delay time is negative, implying superluminal propagation. This error is due to retaining
terms beyond the order of the approximation . That is, the exponential factor in Eq. (4)
contains terms to all orders in zνκ1 while terms of order z2
2νκ and higher are neglected.
For example, this is equivalent to keeping terms proportional to 2
1) (zνκ while neglecting
terms proportional to z2
2νκ which are of the same order.
To avoid this incorrect conclusion it is necessary to solve Eq. (3) by keeping the
order of approximation consistent. Expanding the exponential terms in Eq. (3) to secondorder gives

In Eq. (7) the first term on the right hand side denotes the vacuum solution, the second
term represents lowest order differential gain, while the third and higher order terms are6small and denote higher order effects. The result in Eq. (7) shows that the pulse
propagates at the speed of light while undergoing differential gain. The quantity 1κ can
be negative in the presence of gain or absorption. In the case of gain, when 0 1<κ , the
front portion of the pulse is amplified more than the back. Note that the differential gain
effect, i.e., the first order t∂∂/term in Eq. (7), can be recovered from Eq. (5) through a
Taylor expansion. However, this is simply equivalent to expanding Eq. (5) so that the
proper order of approximation is recovered, as was done in deriving Eq. (7).
The results of this analysis may be used to interpret the experiment. The
susceptibility of the medium used in Ref. 1 has the following form near the resonancefrequencies

where 02,1> M are related to the gain coefficients. The susceptibility in Eq. (8)
represents a medium with two gain lines of spectral width γ at resonance frequencies f1
and f2. The gain spectrum for ==M M2,1 0.18 Hz, =1f3.5 x 1014 Hz,
MHz7.21 2+=f f and =γ 0.46 MHz, is shown in Fig. 2(a) (solid curve). For these
parameters the deviation of the refractive index from unity ) (ωn∆ shown in Fig. 2(b)
closely approximates that in Fig. 3 of Ref. 1. The input laser pulse envelope, which
approximates the experimental pulse, is taken to have the form
<<==

spectrum associated with the input pulse is shown by the dashed curve in Fig. 2 and has
no significant spectral components at the gain lines.
For the parameters of the experiment we find that the first order correction in Eq.
(7), i.e. the term proportional to t∂∂/ , is of order 2
1 10 /−≈TLκ while the second order
correction is smaller than this by 110−. Hence, the expansion performed to obtain Eq. (7)
is valid.
The differential gain effect, which is misinterpreted as superluminal propagation,
requires that 0 1<κ . Using Eq. (8) we find that 1κ is approximately given by

where γ>>−2,1f f . In this case it is clear that a gain medium )0 (>M is required
for 1κ to be negative. Note that in the absence of gain ) 0 (<M , 1κ can also be
negative provided γ<<−2,1f f . In this case differential absorption occurs in which
the back of the pulse is absorbed more than the front. This effect has also been presented
as superluminal propagation [7].
The validity of Eq. (7) was verified by numerically solving the envelope equation
to higher order. Figure 3 compares the solution given by Eq. (7) at the exit of the gain
medium (dotted curves) with the vacuum solution )/ ,0( cLtA− (solid curves). Panel (a)
shows the entire pulse profile. Consistent with the experimental measurements, the
leading edge is shifted forward in time relative to the vacuum solution by 62 nsec. Panel(b) shows three curves: the solid curve denotes the vacuum solution, the dotted curveshows the result obtained from Eq. (7), and the dashed curve shows the result obtained8from Eq. (5). The dotted curve shows that the front of the pulse propagates with velocity
c; the propagation is not superluminal. The unphysical solution, given by the dashed
curve, shows the front of the pulse propagating at superluminal velocities. Panel (c) is anexpanded view near the peak of the pulse showing that the front is amplified more thanthe back.
In conclusion, we find that to properly describe pulse propagation, a consistent
ordering of the approximations is necessary. In addition, the distortion of the pulse formthat the authors of Ref. 1 misinterpret as a newly observed mechanism for superluminalpropagation is actually due to differential gain. That is, the modification of the pulseshape is due to the addition of new photons to the front of the pulse. This phenomenonshould not be viewed as superluminal light propagation.

1Abstract
Nonlinear plane acoustic waves propagating through a fluid a re studied using
Burgers’ equation with finite viscosity. The evolution of a s imple N-pulse with
regular and random initial amplitude and of pulses with mono chromatic and noise
carrier is considered. In the latter case the initial pulses are characterized by two
length scales. The length scale of the modulation function i s much greater than the
period or the length scale of the carrier. With increasing ti me the initial pulses are
deformed and shocks appear. The finite viscosity leads to a fin ite shock width, which
does not depend on the fine structure of the initial pulse and i s fully determined by
the shock position in the zero viscosity limit. The other effe ct of nonzero viscosity
is the shift of the shock position from the position at zero vi scosity. This shift, as
well as the linear time, at which the nonlinear stage of evolu tion changes to the
linear stage, depends on the fine structure of the initial pul se. It is also shown that
the nonlinearity of the medium leads to generation of a nonze ro mean field from an
initial random field with zero mean value. The relative fluctu ation of the field is
investigated both at the nonlinear and the linear stage.
21 Introduction
The propagation of finite amplitude sound waves is of fundame ntal interest in nonlinear
acoustics. In the simplest model of propagation in fluids the se waves are described by the
well-known Burgers’ equation (plane waves) [1,2] or modific ations of Burgers’ equation,
which are called generalized Burgers’ equations (cylindri cal and spherical waves) [3–5].
In studies of nonlinear wave propagation an important probl em is to find the waveform
of the asymptotic wave at long time after the preparation of t he initial wave or at long
distance from the source emitting the wave. In the first case t he asymptotic wave is
called the old-age wave and is an asymptotic solution of an in itial value problem of some
wave equation and in the latter case the asymptotic wave is a s olution of a boundary
wave problem. The asymptotic wave is damped both by absorpti on and by shock wave
dissipation and the asymptotic wave is therefore, for plane waves, described by the linear
diffusion equation. Because the linear diffusion equation de scribes the attenuation of high
frequency waves, the asymptotic behaviour is determined by the spectrum of the waves of
low frequencies. This spectrum is the result of the distorti on of the wave at the nonlinear
stage.
The decay of a wave to the old-age waveform is very different fo r periodic signals
and pulse perturbations. For the periodic signal the old-ag e waveform is an exponen-
tially decaying harmonic wave. The pulse perturbation has c ontinuous spectrum and the
amplitude of the pulse decays according to a power law.
For sinusoidal and N-wave initial perturbations the old-ag e solutions have been studied
in several papers for plane, cylindrical and spherical wave s with use of both analytical
and numerical methods [6–15]. The dependence of the amplitu de constant of the old-age
waveform on the parameters of the initial perturbations has been found.
The aim of the present paper is to investigate the asymptotic behaviour of complex
pulses, such as modulated or random waves. Plane waves are st udied, which means that
we will use the original form of Burgers’ equation [1]. Burge rs’ equation has an exact
solution, which is found by reducing it to the linear diffusio n equation by mean of the
3Hopf-Cole transformation [16, 17]. Because of the existenc e of an exact solution it is
relatively easy to find the old-age waveform developing from simple initial perturbations
like periodic signals and N-waves in the plane wave case. How ever, for signals with complex
structure it is far from trivial to find their evolution even f or plane waves [18–20]. For
a regular signal with fractal structure [18,20] an unusual s equence of stages of evolution
may appear: the nonlinear stage may succeed the linear stage . At the nonlinear stage
this wave may decrease more slowly than a periodic wave or a si mple pulse.
Still more complicated behaviour is shown by a random signal . The solution of Burgers’
equation with random initial conditions is often called Bur gers turbulence. Numerous
papers are devoted to investigations of this problem [22–27 ]. In the case of vanishing
viscosity the continuous random initial field is transforme d into a sequence of straight lines
with some slope and with random locations of the shocks separ ating them. Due to the
merging of the shocks the internal scale of the turbulence in creases and the random wave
decreases more slowly than the periodic signal. The decay ra te depends on the behaviour
of the initial energy spectrum of low frequency [21,26] and i s also sensitive to the statistics
of the potential of the initial velocity field [22,26,27]. Th e asymptotic behaviour of the
field in the case of finite viscosity also depends strongly on t he statistical properties of the
initial field. In the case where there are large scale compone nts in the initial spectrum the
nonlinear stage never transforms to the linear regime of evo lution [21]. In the opposite
case the final evolution depends on the tail of the initial pro bability distribution [23].
In the present paper we consider the evolution of complex pul ses which are character-
ized by two scales: l0- the inner scale of the carrier, L0- the scale of the modulation,
and the condition L0>> l 0. For such signals the generation of a low-frequency com-
ponent or a non-zero mean field takes place. The case of vanish ing viscosity has been
investigated [29,31]. It has been shown that, after multipl e merging of the shocks, the
inner structure disappears and finally a finite pulse ends up w ith an N-wave. This N-wave
is fully described by the positions of its zero and shocks, wh ich are determined by the
potentialψ0(x) of the initial velocity v0(x):v′
0(x) =−ψ0(x). It has also been shown
that, for a pulse with random carrier, the fluctuations of the positions of the zero and the
4shocks are relatively small for l0<<L 0.
In the present paper we will consider the influence of finite vi scosity on the nonlinear
stage of the evolution of the pulse and investigate its old-a ge behaviour. The paper is
organized as follows.
In section 2, on the base of the Hopf-Cole solution, the asymp totic behaviour of the
pulse at the nonlinear and the old-age stages is analyzed in g eneral terms without assuming
the detailed structure of the initial pulse.
In section 3 the evolution of simple N-waves with regular and random amplitude is
discussed.
Section 4 deals with pulses with monochromatic carrier and s ection 5 with pulses with
noise carrier. It is shown that the parameters of the asympto tic waveform depend weakly
on the fine structure of the initial pulse, but that the old-ag e behaviour is very sensitive
to the properties of the carrier.

waves. Consider a group of perturbation with the bounded ini tial potential |ψ0(x)|<∞
assuming that ψ0(x) is a periodic signal with a period L0or homogeneous noise with rather
fast decreasing probability distribution of the potential ψ0. For such a perturbation in
U(x,t) (3) we separate a constant component ¯U:
U(x,t) =¯U+˜U(x,t). (7)
Inserting (7) into (3) we see that ¯Udoes not depend on time, since the y-integral of
G(x,y,t) is unity. Here ˜U(x,t) is a field with zero mean value (on the period or statisti-
cally for noise). As times goes on, the viscous dissipation a nd oscillation (inhomogenity)
smoothing causes the amplitude (variance) of the field ˜U(x,t) to become less. At times
when it amounts to |˜U| ≪¯Uthe solution (2) is equal to
v(x,t) =−2ν˜Ux(x,t)
¯U. (8)
As˜U(x,t) satisfies the linear diffusion equation, then v(x,t) also at these times fulfils the
linear equation. This testifies precisely to the fact that th e evolution of the velocity field
enters the linear stage. The accumulated nonlinear effects a re described in this solution
by the nonlinear integral relation between the initial velo city fieldv0(x) and the fields
˜U(x,0),¯U(5,6), and are characterized by the value |△ψ0|/ν∼Re0.
6Here△ψ0is the characteristic change in amplitude of ψ0, andRe0is the initial
Reynolds number.
From (8) it is easy to get the well known result, that for Re0≫1 the initial harmonic
waves asymptotically has also harmonics form, but with the a mplitude not depending on
the initial amplitude [2,3].
At large initial Reynolds number the homogeneous Gaussian fi eldv0(x) at the non-
linear stage transforms into series of sawtooth waves with s trong nongaussian statistical
properties [21,25]. Nevertheless at very large time, when t he relation (8) is valid, the dis-
tribution of the random field v(x,t) with statistically homogeneous initial potential ψ0(x)
converges weakly to the distribution of the homogeneous Gau ssian random field with zero
mean value, and universal covariance function [23]. But the amplitude of this function
is nonlinearly related to the initial covariance function o f the fieldv0(x) and increases
proportionally exp( Re2
0) with increasing of initial Reynolds number Re0[21,23].
Let us consider the opposite situation when the initial pert urbation is localized in
some region. We assume also that initial potential ψ0(x) vanishes very fast for x→ ∞,
so we have
ψ0(x) = 0,|x|>L∗, (9)
whereL∗can be considered as the length of initial pulse. The conditi on (9) is identical
to the assumption that the integral over the initial pulse is zero.
It should be stressed that if the integral over the initial pu lse is△ψ0/ne}ationslash= 0, then the
initial perturbation transforms to the unipolar pulse with area△ψ0asymptotically. For
Re0=△ψ0/ν≫1 the form of this pulse is close to the triangular with the wid th of shock
δ(t)∼νt/xsmuch smaller than the length of the pulse xs=/radicalig
2|△ψ0|t. For such a pulse
δ(t)/xs∼Re−1
0=const and does not depend on time. Thus the nonlinear stage of the
evolution prevails for all times.
Let us now consider the time asymptotic behaviour of initial ly localized pulse which
satisfies (9). If we rewrite (3) as
U(x,t) = 1 ++∞/integraldisplay
−∞[U0(y)−1]G(x,y,t)dy , (10)
7then we can see that because of (9) the integrand at right hand side of (10) is zero outside
the region |y|< L∗. It is seen from (4) that the length scale ldif(t) of Green’s function
G(x,y,t) is
ldif=√
2νt . (11)
If the length scale of U0(y) is calledLU, and the following condition
ldif(t)≫LU (12)
is valid, then Green’s function can be considered as constan t in the interval where the
integrand at the right hand side of (10) is significantly diffe rent from zero. Thus we obtain
from (10) using (5)
U(x,t)≈1 +G(x,y∗(x,t),t)B . (13)
Herey∗(x,t),|y∗|<L∗, is the value of y, in the neighborhood of which the integrand in
(10) gives the essential contribution in the integral. In (1 3) we introduce the notation
B=+∞/integraldisplay
−∞/bracketleftigg
exp/parenleftiggψ0(y)
2ν/parenrightigg
−1/bracketrightigg
dy . (14)
We assume B/ne}ationslash= 0. From (3),(13),(14) an approximate solution is obtained
v(x,t) =x−y∗
tBG(x,y∗,t)
1 +BG(x,y∗,t). (15)
If the initial pulse ψ0is centered around y= 0, and the large scale of the field v(x,t) is
much greater then L∗, then we can put y∗≈0 and obtain
v(x,t) =x
tBG(x,0,t)
1 +BG(x,0,t)(16)
instead of (15). For large initial Reynolds number Re0=A/2ν, whereA >0 is the
maximum of ψ0(y), the constant B(14) may be rewritten as the product of the maximum
of the integrand and some length: Leff
B=LeffeA/2ν, Re 0=A/2ν , (17)

At this stage the form and the energy of the pulse

v2(x,t)dx=25/2A3/2

are determined only by the value of maximum of initial potent ialAand does not depend
on the fine structure of the pulse. This limiting case ( ν→0) for the pulses with complex
inner structure was investigated in the paper [31].
For large but finite Reynolds number the solution (18), compl eted with a solution valid
atxnearxsand exhibiting the shock structure, is valid only at finite ti me. For finite t
values and sufficiently small xwe still have
BG(x,0,t)≫1. (22)
Then for

BG(xs,0,t) = 1 (24)
we obtain the increasing part (in x) of the N-wave solution (19). On the other hand, for
x→ ∞,tfixed, we find that v(x,t) fades away exponentionally.
9Fort→ ∞,xarbitrary finite, we have
BG(x,0,t)≪1, (25)

eff≫eA/2ν. (27)
Because (24) gives a solution of the linear diffusion equatio n, the condition (27) defines
the linear stage of the pulse evolution. On this stage the pul se energy is
E(t) =B2/radicalbiggν
8πt3. (28)
Thus at the linear stage of evolution of the pulse has a univer sal form (26) and is
determined only by the constant B, which is defined by the initial perturbation by the
relation (14). The case B= 0 can be understood by comparing the definition of B
according to the equations (14) and (5) with the formulas (30 ) - (33) in ref. [19]. By
this comparison it is clearthat the case B= 0 corresponds to the absence of the Fourier
component with n= 1 in the terminology of ref. [19]. The Fourier component wit hn= 0
is absent here already for B/ne}ationslash= 0. The case B= 0 excludes the N-wave solution (19).
Below we will consider three cases of initial perturbation, assuming that the initial
potential may be written in the form
ψ0(x) =M(x)F(x), (29)
whereM(x) has the scale L0≃L∗. First we consider the simplest case when Fis
constant, either deterministic or random value. Here we dis cuss the main properties of
the wellknown solution (see ref. [30]) for the N-wave. The ca ses of monochromatic and
noise carrier will be considered in Sections 4 and 5. In these cases we assume that the
scalel0of the carrier F(x) satisfies the condition l0≪L0and then
v(x,0) =v0(x)≃M(x)f(x), f(x) =−F′(x). (30)
103 The decay of a simple pulse with random initial
amplitude
3.1 The evolution of a regular N-wave
We discuss the evolution of a one scale pulse, whose potentia l has the structure in (29):
ψ0(x) =M(x)A. (31)
HereAis a constant and M(x) is a dimensionless function with the scale L0:
M(x)≈1−x2
2L2
0+... . (32)
In particular we will consider the cases where the initial pe rturbation (31), (32) is exact
in the interval |x|<√
2L0andψ0(x)≡0 outside this interval. We first assume A >0
and find from (6) that the initial velocity pulse is an N-wave:
v0(x) =xA
L0,|x|<√
2L0,
v0(x) = 0,|x|>√
2L0. (33)

and thus, using (4), we see that the result (44) is a special ca se of (16).
From the expression (44) we will now find the width of the shock . If we define the
positionxsof the shock as the coordinate where the wave amplitude has de creased to half
its maximal value, we find from (23) the following expression forxs:

In order to decide which of the two waveforms (41) and (48) is m ost appropriate we
compare the expressions for xs(42) and (46). From these formulas we see directly that
the shock velocity ( vs=dxs
dt) decreases faster for growing twith nonzero viscosity. The
zero viscosity expression (42) can be used as long as the corr ection to the N-wave shock

The energy of a pulse is defined as the integral over the pulse l ength of the square of

A=tMnle2Re0. (59)
15For the negative Athe pulse decays much faster than for A>0. Forν→0 att>tMnl
the initial pulse transforms into so called S-wave [2,31], a nd the energy becomes
E(t) =25/2
3L3
0
t2, (60)
which is independent of the initial amplitude |A|of the pulse. Of course the reason why
the energy of the S-wave decreases faster with tthan the energy of the N-wave is that the
length of the N-wave increases with growing tin contrast to the S-wave.
At large Reynolds number |A|/2ν≫1 the constant B(14) which determines the
linear stage of evolution is
B=−23/2L0 (61)
and much smaller than for positive Awith the same Reynolds number. The region of
validity of linear regime is obtained from (25) and (61) as
t≫L2
0/ν . (62)
Thus for the pulses with negative Athe linear stage begins much earlier than for the
pulses with positive A, for which the linear time tMlin(59) increases exponentionally with
the Reynolds number Re0=A/2ν.
Nevertheless, we can see on this simple example the main nont rivial properties of the
old-age behavior of the pulses in the case of large Reynolds n umber.
In the limit of vanishing viscosity ( ν→0) the energy of the pulse (21),(52) and the
shape of the pulse (19),(20),(41) do not depend on the length ofL0asymptotically for
t→ ∞. They are determined only by the maximum of initial potentia lψ0(in our case
– of the area of triangular pulse of initial pulse A). Nevertheless, at the linear stage the
energy depends not only of A, but is also proportional to L2
0(53). We can remark that
the energy of initial pulse is proportional to A2/L0.
The other property that we stress is that the amplitude B(17),(45) of the wave at
the old-age stage depends exponentially on the amplitude Aof the initial pulse. For
small wave numbers kthe Fourier component C(k,t) of the pulse depends linearly on
k:C(k,t)∼b(t)k. At the linear stage the slope b(t) of the Fourier component does not
16depend on time: b(t)≃B=const. At the nonlinear stage the growing of the slope until
the very large linear time (59) leads to an exponentionally l arge value (in 1 /ν) ofb(t) at
the linear stage (cf.(45)).
3.2 The decay of an N-wave with random amplitude
Let us discuss the evolution of N-wave (33) with random initi al amplitude. We assume
that the amplitude Ain (31) has a gaussian probability distribution function wi th a zero
mean value
W(A) =1/radicalig
2πσ2
ψe−A2/2σ2
ψ. (63)
From (33) it is easy to see that mean initial field /an}bracketle{tv0(x)/an}bracketri}htis zero, and relative fluctuation
of the energy (52) at t= 0 is
δE(0) =/an}bracketle{tE2(0)/an}bracketri}ht − /an}bracketle{tE(0)/an}bracketri}ht2
/an}bracketle{tE(0)/an}bracketri}ht2= 2. (64)
In the previous section it was shown that there is strong diffe rence between the decay
of the pulse with positive and negative amplitude A. If we introduce ¯E+(t) – the mean
energy of pulse with positive amplitude A(N-wave), and ¯E−(t) – the mean energy of
pulse with negative amplitude A(S-wave), then at time
t≫tM,nl≃L2
0/σψ (65)
from (52), (60) and (63) we have
¯E+(t)/¯E−(t)≃(σψt/L2
0)3/2≃(t/tM,nl)3/2≫1. (66)
This fast decrease of pulses with negative Awill lead to the generation of a field with
positive mean value /an}bracketle{tv(x,t)/an}bracketri}htfrom an initial field v0(x) with zero mean value /an}bracketle{tv0(x)/an}bracketri}ht= 0.
At timet≫tM,nl(65) we can neglect the influence of the negative pulse on the m ean
field and use the expressions (19),(20) for the velocity. In d ifferent realizations we will
have the N-wave with the same slope v′
x= 1/tand random position of the shocks.
17Let us introduce the cumulative probability of the random am plitude
QH(H) =Prob(A<H ) =H/integraldisplay
−∞W(A)dA . (67)
Then from (19,20)
v(x,t) =x/twith probability 1 −QH(x2/2t)
v(x,t) = 0 with probability QH(x2/2t)(68)
From (68) we obtain for the mean velocity /an}bracketle{tv(x,t)/an}bracketri}htand its variance σ2
v(x,t) =/an}bracketle{t(v(x,t)−

At smallx <(σψt)1/2the mean field /an}bracketle{tv(x,t)/an}bracketri}htis half the regular field with A∼σψ,
due to the fact that only in that half of realizations, in whic hA>0, we have a relatively
slowly decaying N-wave. The mean field /an}bracketle{tv(x,t)/an}bracketri}ht(71) has not a clear stressed shock front

Here we introduce the effective Reynolds number Re0

f(x) and is always positive. The positive mean value /an}bracketle{tB/an}bracketri}htis a result of generation of mean
field at the nonlinear stage. Here we consider the case of larg e Reynolds number, where
we can use the asymptotic expression for B(45). The n-th moment of Bwill be expressed
through the probability distribution function (p.d.f.) of A(63):

Thus we have very fast growing of the momentum with increasin gn. From (77) one can
see that at the linear stage both mean field and variance are se lf-similar, and that the
relative integral fluctuation δv2does not depend on t. But in contrast to the nonlinear
stage (76), in the linear stage the relative integral fluctua tion of the field δv2is extremely
large for large Reynolds number:

We have similar behaviour also for the relative fluctuation o f the energy δE(t) (64).

δE(t) =2√π

Thus at the nonlinear stage δE(t) does not depend on the initial scale L0and the
varianceσψof the p.d.f. of amplitude A.
At the linear stage the fluctuation of the energy is determine d by the fourth and
the second moment of B, and from (82) we have also a strong enhancement of energy

4 The evolution of a pulse with monochromatic car-
rier
In this section we consider the evolution of a pulse with mono chromatic carrier
ψ0(x) =M(x)Acosk0x, v 0(x)≃M(x)a0sink0x. (86)
HereA=a0/k0, and we assume that the length scale L0of the modulation function M(x)
is much greater then the period l0of the carrier ( l0= 2π/k0). Below we consider two
20large parameters Re0=A/2νandL0/l0. For different ratios of these parameters we have
different regimes of wave evolution.
The pure monochromatic signal ( M(x)≡1) is characterized by the nonlinear time
ts,nl= 1/a0k0(”s” stands for ”signal”) and the linear time ts,lin= 1/νk2
0[21]. Atts,nl≪
t≪ts,lin(Re0≫1) the monochromatic wave transforms into the sawtooth wave with
the slopev′
x= 1/t. The shock amplitude △V=l0/2t, as well as the energy of the wave
E=l2
0/12t2, does not depend on the initial amplitude. The shockwidth
δ= 2ν/△V= 4νt/l0 (87)
increases with time, and is, at t∼ts,lin, of the same order as a period. For t≫ts,lin
we have the linear regime of evolution, where the wave form is sinusoidal again with
exponentionally decaying amplitude v(x,t) = 2νk0exp[−νk0t2]sink0x.
For a pulse with monochromatic carrier a large-scale compon entvl(x,t) is generated.
The interaction of the high frequency component with the lar ge-scale wave vl(x,t) will
change the evolution of the carrier.
4.1 The nonlinear stage of evolution at large Reynolds numbe r
Below we give a short summary of pulse evolution at ν→0 based on the paper [31], and
discuss the influence of finite dissipation on the evolution o f large scale and high frequency
carrier.
The nonlinear effect leads to the generation of the large-sca le component vl(x,t), and
att≫ts,nlthis component obtains the stationary form
vl(x,t) =−M′(x)A, (88)
which is equal to the form of simple pulse v0(x) =M′(x)Awith the same initial potential
ψ0(x) =M(x)A. The evolution of the large-scale component is characteriz ed by the
nonlinear time tM,nl=L2
0/A(51), and (88) is valid for t≤tM,nl. At time
tint=L0l0
A(89)
21the energy of large-scale and small-scale components are of the same order. At t≫ts,nl
the evolution of the large-scale component is equal to the ev olution of a simple pulse with
ψ0(x) =M(x)A.
ForM(x) = (1 −x2/2L2
0),|x|<√
2L0the evolution of the large-scale component
is described by the expressions (41), (42), (52). At t≫ts,nl, in the limit ν→0, the
evolution of the large-scale component is determined by onl y one parameter A=a0/k0of
the initial perturbation.
Att≫ts,nlthe amplitudes △Vof the shocks of the small-scale components do not
depend on the initial amplitude: △V=l0/2t, but due to the interaction with large-scale
component they have nonzero velocity Vr≃ −AM′(xr) =vl(xr) (88), where xris the
initial position of the shock. The distance between the shoc ks increases with time as
l(t) =l0(1 +At/L2
0). (90)
The collision of the shocks of small-scale components movin g with constant velocity of
fine structure with shocks of the large-scale structure (42) leads to decrease of the number
of shocks (see fig. 3 from [31]). The last collision occurs at t imet=8L2
0
l2
0tM,nl, and after
this time a pure N-wave remains.
At finite Reynolds number the width of the shocks of the large- scale component in-
creases with time (87). The linear spreading of small struct ure leads to the increase of the
distance between the shocks (90). Comparing (87) with (90) w e find that, if the initial
Reynolds number satisfies the condition
A
2ν=Re0≫L2
0
l2
0, (91)
then the nonlinear structure of shocks will be conserved. Th is is because the relative
shock width is
δ(t)
l(t)= 4ν
AL2
0
l2
0. (92)
In the opposite case, under the condition
1≪Re0≪L2
0/l2
0 (93)
22the nonlinear structure will dissipate before the nonlinea r distortion of large-scale com-
ponent begins.
The evolution of the large-scale component at finite Reynold s number will be described
by the same equations as the evolution of a simple wave (47) - ( 49). Only the position
of the shocks xs(t) will be determined by some other equation (23), where Leffdepends
on the fine structure of the initial pulse. This dependence le ads to the sensitivity of the
old-age behaviour on the fine structure of the initial pulse.
4.2 Old-age linear stage evolution of pulse with monochroma tic
carrier
The final linear stage of evolution is described by the equati on (26), where the constant
B(14) is now given by
B=+∞/integraldisplay
−∞{exp [Re0M(x)cosk0x−1]dx}. (94)
At large Reynolds number Re0=A/2νthe constant Bmay be written in the form
B=Leffexp[Re0] (17). In fact for the large Reynolds number the main contrib ution in
the integral in (94) comes from the neighborhood of points yr=l0r(l0= 2π/k0, r=
0,±1,±2,...). An evaluation of Bby the steepest descent method then gives
B=/summationdisplay
r√
2π
k0/radicalig
Re0M(yr)exp[Re0M(yr)]. (95)
From (95) we see that the prefactor Leffin (17) strongly depends on the ratio of two
large numbers: the Reynolds number Re0and the number L2
0/l2
0(l0= 2π/k0). When the
relation (91) is valid, then only the first term r= 0 in (95) is significant, and from (17),
(95) we have
Leff=l0√2πRe 0. (96)
In the case of moderate Reynolds number, when the condition ( 93) is valid, we have
from (17,95)
Leff=L0
Re0. (97)
23The results above should be compared with expression (45) of Bfor the simple pulse
for which we have Leff=L0/radicalig
2π/Re 0. One can see that the modulation leads to faster
transformation of the wave into the linear regime of evoluti on and consequently to decrease
of the amplitude of the wave ( B∼Leffexp[A/2ν]) at the old-age stage.
5 The evolution of a pulse with noise carrier
In this section we will study the evolution of a pulse with noi se carrierf(x) =−F′(x)
(30). We assume that the potential F(x) is homogeneous gaussian noise with rapidly
decreasing covariance function

ψR(ρ) =σ2

. (98)
In the limit of vanishing viscosity the continuous homogene ous fieldv0(x) =f(x)
transforms into sequence of sawtooth pulses with equal slop ev′
x= 1/tand with random
position of shocks. Due to the collision and merging of the sh ocks, their number decreases
and the characteristic scale of random field increases. This effect makes all the statistical
properties of the field self-similar and they are determined by only one scale l(t), which
can be interpreted as characteristic distance between the z eroes ofv(x,t) or between the
shocks [21,25,26].
The evolution of the integral scale l(t) in time due to merging of the shocks ( [21], see
eq. 4.15, p. 170)
l(t) = (σψt)1/2ln−1/4/parenleftiggtσ2

Herel0is the correlation length of the initial potential. Due to th e merging of the shocks
the energy density of the random wave /an}bracketle{tv2(x,t)/an}bracketri}ht=l2(t)/t2∼t−1decreases slower then
the energy of harmonic perturbation.
24In case of the finite Reynolds number the thickness of the shoc k in the sawtooth wave
originating from a monochromatic wave is given in (87). We ha ve the same expression
for a random wave as well, where △Vis the random amplitude of the shock. For the
estimations we can assume △V∼l(t)/t.
The ratio between the integral scale l(t) and internal scale δ(t) is the effective Reynolds
numberRe(t):
Re(t)≈l(t)
δ(t)≈l(t)△V(t)
ν∼Re0ln−1/2/parenleftbiggt

, (101)
whereRe0andtn,nl(”n” stands for ”noise”) are defined as
Re0=σψ/2ν, tn,nl=l2
0/σψ. (102)
Thus the effective Reynolds number Re(t) logarithmically slowly decreases with time,
and the linear stage of evolution starts at very large time tn,lin≃tn,nlexp(Re2
0)≫tn,nl,
(Re(tn,lin)∼1). At this time the nonlinear effects become unimportant and the noise
enters into the linear mode where its damping is mainly deter mined by linear dissipation.
On the base of the solution (8), as it was shown in [21], the ene rgy decays as
σ2
v(t) = (νl2
0/t3)1/2Re1/2
0eRe2
0. (103)
At the linear stage the distribution of the random field conve rges to the distribution
of the homogeneous Gaussian field with zero mean velocity and variance according to
(103) [23].
The evolution of the pulse with noise carrier in the limit of v anishing viscosity ( ν→
0) was considered in the paper [31]. It was shown that an initi al perturbation v0(x)
transforms to an N-wave. In the case, when the scale of the car rierl0is much smaller
then scale of modulation function L0, it was shown that the fluctuation of the shock
positions is relatively small.
Below we consider the properties of the pulse with noise carr ier at the nonlinear stage
for finite Reynolds number and the old-age behaviour of the pu lse.
255.1 Nonlinear stage of evolution of pulse with noise carrier
In the case of vanishing viscosity we can introduce two chara cteristic times: the nonlinear
time for noise carrier evolution tn,nl=l2
0/σψand nonlinear time for modulation evolution
tM,nl=L2
0/σψ. Att≫tn,nlthe initial wave transforms into the sequence of sawtooth
pulses, with the integral scale lM(x,t)≃M1/2(x)l0(t/tn,nl)1/2and the energy density
¯E(x,t) =l2
M(x,t)/t2≃M(x)σ2
v(t/tn,nl)−1depending slowly on the coordinate [31]. At
this stage the nonlinearity leads to partial depression of m odulation and to generation
of the mean field vl(x,t) =/an}bracketle{tv(x,t)/an}bracketri}ht=−M′(x)σψ(lnM(x)t/2πtnnl)1/2[31]. Due to the
merging of the shocks their number decrease, and at t≫tM,nlthe initial pulse with
noise carrier transforms into an N-wave with random positio ns of zero and shocks. The
position of the N-wave zero is localized in an narrow region △l≃L0/(lnL2
0/2πl2
0)1/2near
the center of the initial pulse [31]. The position of the shoc ks are determined by the
equation (20), where A=ψmis the value of absolute maximum of the initial potential
ψ0(x) (29). It was shown that the cumulated probability QH(H) = Prob(ψm< H) has
the form [31]

HereN∞(H) is the mean number of intersections of level Hby the initial potential ψ0(x)
in the interval |x|<L∗(9),L0is a characteristic scale of the modulation function M(x)
(32) (L0∼L∗),l0=σψ/σvis an integral scale of the Gaussian homogeneous carrier
potentialF(x) andσψis its variance (100).
The mean velocity /an}bracketle{tv(x,t)/an}bracketri}ht, withv(x,t) given by (68) and its variance σ2
v(x,t) are
described by equations (69), (70), where now the cumulative probability QH(H) is deter-
mined by equation (104), and not by the error function in (71) . It is easy to see from (74)
that both mean field and variance have self-similar behaviou r. From (69) , (70), (104) we
have (cf. (74))
¯V(y,N) =y(1−qN(y)),¯σ2
V(y,N) =y2qN(y)(1−qN(y)), (105)

wherey=x/√σψt, andNis a large parameter, proportional to the number of correlat ion
lengths on the whole extension of the pulse:
N=L0√
2πl0. (107)
Contrary to the case of the simple initial pulse (75), in the c ase of pulse with noise
carrier the mean field and its variance have two different scal es forN≫1 (see figs. 1
and 2). The two scales in the ”b” and ”c” curves in the figures ar e the width of the shock
and the length of the pulse. In the ”a” curves only the length o f the pulse remains. For
N≫1 the function qN(y)≃0 aty < y ∗≃(4 lnN)1/4. The function qN(y) increases
rather fast to 1 in the narrow region ( y−y∗)/y∗≃(4 lnN)−1.
Thus forN≫1 the mean field has the N-wave similar structure with the dime nsionless

In the neighborhood of the shock position we can introduce a n ew variable z:
y=y∗(1 +z/y4

and from (106) we see that the shape of the front is described b y double exponential
distribution
qN(y) =qd((y−y∗)y4

The variance σ2

27A finite Reynolds number leads to a finite width of the shock. Th e shock structure in each
realization is described by the expressions (48), (49). The shifting of the shock position
xsfrom the zero viscosity limit xs=√2ψmt(A≡ψm) is given in (23). At the nonlinear
stage we can neglect this shifting. Then in each realization we have self-similar evolution
of the pulse, and the relative width of the shock δ/xs= 2ν/ψmdoes not depend on time.
While forN≫1 (L0≫l0) the maximum ψmof the initial potential is localized in the
narrow region △H/H 0≃(lnN) nearH0≃σψ(2 lnN)1/2( [31] formulas (107), (113)), we
can estimate the relative width of shock front as

In the opposite case, for extremely large ratio L0/l0, the width of the mean field will be

The displacements of shock position xs(23) from the vanishing viscosity position
xs=√2ψmtleads finally to the depressing of nonlinear effects. For t≫tlin∼L2
effeψm/ν/ν
(cf.(27)) we have the linear stage of evolution. While for th e random perturbation we have
a large fluctuation of tlin, the cumulative action of nonlinearity, which is proportio nal to
tlin, leads to strong fluctuation of the field at the linear stage.
5.2 Old-age linear stage of evolution of a pulse with noise ca rrier
At the old-age stage, when the evolution of the pulse is descr ibed by linear solution (26) all
the properties of the wave are determined by the constant B, given in (14). The potential
ψ0(x) (29) is a random Gaussian function. The mean value of Bis given by the equation
(79), and does not depend on the fine structure of the carrier. ForRe0=σψ/2ν≫1 we
have from (82)
/an}bracketle{tB/an}bracketri}ht=L0√
2π1
Re0eRe2
0/2. (115)
28Let us first consider the case of relatively large Reynolds nu mber, when the integral
(14) may be calculated using the steepest descent method, an d only the contribution of
the absolute maximum is important:
B=/radicaligg
4πν
|ψ′′
m|eψm/2ν. (116)
Hereψm=ψ0(xm) is the value of absolute maximum of ψ0, andψ′′
m=ψ′′
0(xm) is the
second derivative of the potential at this point. To find the s tatistical properties of Bwe
need to know the joint probability distribution of ψmandψ′′
m. From (98) it is easy to
find the correlation coefficient for ψmandψ′′
m:r=−l2
1/l2
0. If we consider the conditional
probability distribution function W(ψ′′

WhileBincreases exponentionally with ψmonly the maximum ψm≫σψgives a significant
contribution to the average characteristics of B. Thus in (116) we can substitute /an}bracketle{tψ′′
m/an}bracketri}htψm
(117) instead of ψ′′
m, and so we have
B=l0/radicaligg
4πν
ψmeψm/2ν. (118)
From (104) we have for the probability distribution functio n of the absolute maximum
of the initial potential ψ0(x):
WH(H) =∂QH
∂H=−N′
∞(H)e−N∞(H). (119)
This function is localized near
H0=σψ(2 lnN)1/2(120)
and has a tail for H→ ∞:
WH(H) =N
σψe−H2/2σ2

29For the calculation of the moments of Bwe can use the steepest descent method using
the tail of the probability distribution function (121):

We have the main contribution for the n-th moment (122) at the pointH∗,n≃nσψ/2ν=
nRe 0. Comparing H∗,nwithH0given in (120) we see that the inequality (114) is necessary
for (122) to be valid.
Comparing (122) with the relation (82) for the moment of Bfor a simple pulse we see
that for the small-scale noise carrier the moments n≥2 depend on the integral scale l0
of the carrier.
The relative integral fluctuation δv2of the field (76) on this stage is expressed for two
first moments of Bas
δv2=/an}bracketle{tB2/an}bracketri}ht
/an}bracketle{tB/an}bracketri}ht2−1≃l0
L01
2eRe2
0, (123)
and when the condition (114) is valid it is very large in contr ast to the nonlinear stage
(112), where δv2≪1. For the noise carrier with the scale l0≪L0the relative integral
fluctuation is the small factor l0/L0times the fluctuation of the simple pulse with random
Gaussian amplitude (83).
The calculation of /an}bracketle{tB/an}bracketri}ht,/an}bracketle{t△B2/an}bracketri}htmay be done directly on the base of the integral (14),
and for large Reynolds number we have the same equation (123) . For (l0/L0)≪exp[−Re2
0]
we have relatively small fluctuation of δv2, and with increasing of l0/L0the probability
distribution of Bapproaches slowly the normal distribution (normalization ). This normal-
ization is similar to the normalization of the homogeneous fi eld at the old-age stage [23].
But while the moment Bnincreases exponentionally with n, we have weak convergence
to the normal distribution of Blike in [23].
6 Discussion and conclusion
We have investigated the evolution of pulses with complex st ructure in nonlinear media,
described by Burgers’ equation. The investigation for vani shing viscosity was done in our
30paper [31]. There it was shown that the asymptotic form of an a rbitrary initial pulse with
zero area is an N-wave. It was also shown that the shock positi ons of the N-wave are
determined by only one parameter of the initial perturbatio n - the value of the absolute
maximum of the initial potential ψ0(x) (v0(x) =−∂ψ0(x)/∂x). It was also shown in the
paper [31] that for the noise carrier the fluctuations of the s hock positions are relatively
small if the carrier length scale l0is much smaller than the modulation length scale L0.
In the present paper we have considered the evolution of puls es with complex structure
at large but finite Reynolds number. On the base of the Hopf-Co le solution it is shown
that the finite viscosity leads to a finite shock width δ, which does not depend on the
fine structure of the initial pulse and is fully determined by the shock position in the zero
viscosity limit. The other effect is the shift of the shock pos ition from the zero viscosity
limit position. This shift depends on the fine structure of th e initial pulse, and as a
consequence the time tlin, at which the nonlinear stage of evolution changes to the lin ear
stage, is determined not only by the value of the maximum of th e initial potential but
also by the fine structure of the pulse. Because the amplitude of the pulse at the linear
old-age stage is determined by the time tlin, the old-age amplitude is also sensitive to the
inner structure of the pulse.
In this paper the evolution of a simple N-pulse with regular a nd random initial ampli-
tude and of pulses with monochromatic and noise carrier is co nsidered. It is shown that
the nonlinearity of the medium leads to the generation of a no n-zero mean field from an
initial random field with zero mean value. It is also shown tha t, at the nonlinear stage,
the relative fluctuation of the field and its energy is of unit o rder for simple pulses and
small for pulses with complex inner structure ( l0<<L 0). However, at the old-age linear
stage this fluctuation increases exponentially with increa sing initial Reynolds number.

Key words: electromagnetic field energy.
Dvoeglazov’s paper is not trivial because we know the classi cal def-
inition of any non-trivial truth: a truth is not trivial if and only if
anopposite statement is not false(and vice versa, of course). So I
strongly recommend his paper for a reader.
But I have a few notes:
1) V. Dvoeglazov writes in his footnote number 7: ”In my opin-
ion, equations (20,21) of ref. [1] are just another form of th e Maxwell
equations for this particular case, in the sense that there i s no new
physical content if one expects that the Maxwell electrodyn amics
describes also the Coulomb interaction.”
The point is that precisely this (“ another ”) form of the Maxwell
equations (namely with totalderivatives!) allows us to describe
the Coulomb interaction as an action-at-a-distance (it was shown
in [2]). It is well-known that generally accepted Maxwell equa-
tions (with partial derivatives only) describe just transverse1elec-
tromagnetic waves in vacuum which spread with a limited velo city

pendicular with respect to wave vector kin every point.

(i.e. they describe so called short-range interaction only). That is
why there is new physical content2in Eqs. (18-21) [1]. Note also
that V. Dvoeglazov here erroneously mentioned just Eqs. (20 ,21).
The point is that Eqs. (20,21) describe exclusively instant aneous
(action-at-a-distance) interaction while the whole syste m of our
equations (18-21) (Eqs. (1-4) in this Comment) describe bot h in-
stantaneous and short-range. These equations are written a s two
uncoupled pairs of differential equations:

2I should to note here that a considerable number of papers hav e
recently been published which declare (prove?) an existenc e of
so called longitudinal electromagnetic waves in vacuum but these
ideas still are not generally accepted in classical electro dynamics
(see, e.g., review [3]).Comment on ”Do Zero-Energy ...” 3

of observation.3
2) V. Dvoeglazov’s phrase: ”The main problem with the Chuby-
kalo derivation is the following: the integrals are divergent when
they extend over all the space. ... But, to the best of my knowl -
edge, some persons claimed that such procedures do not have s ound
mathematical foundation.”
I do not see any mathematical prohibition to use such procedures.
See, e.g., [4] (Vol. 2, ch. 17, §1, point 282). Fihtengoltz here
considers the following definition of the integral with infinite limits:
∞/integraldisplay
af(x)dx= lim
A→∞A/integraldisplay
af(x)dx. (10)
If this limit ( rhs10) does not exist or(attention!) is infinite, they
say that this integral diverges . But then Fihtengoltz adds, however,
that in the case when the limit ( rhs10)exists and it is equal to
infinity one can consider the infinite limit ( rhs10) as a value of the
integral ( lhs10).
V. Dvoeglazov asks: ”Furthermore, even if one accepts its va -
lidity the total energy resulting from integration of (28) o ver the
whole space is to be infinite!?”4
Why not? Many years ago, in Newton’s times, for example,
nobody (I mean, physicists) doubted that the Universe had an in-
finite number of stars. It meant that the mass of the Universe w as
infinite. And thismass is no more than/integraltext
∞̺dVover the infinite vol-
ume, where ̺is alimited mass density of the Universe. Nowmany
physicists believe that the mass (and, of course, the total energy) of
our Universe is limited but their statements have no any evid ence
(however the statement that the Universe has an infinite mass also
has no evidence). Unfortunately, it is still a matter of the b elief.
At last V. Dvoeglazov cites: ”It was noted by Barut [5, p.105]
that in the case of non-vanishing fields at the spatial infinit y ‘we
cannot expect to find globally conserved quantities ’.”
I have only one question here: Is it possible experimentally to
findglobally conserved quantities?
3) The final phrase of V. Dvoeglazov’s paper is: ”... we are not
yet convinced in the necessity of correction of the formula f or the

In turn, I explained in this short comment that if we suppose
that the radiation field exists in infinity ( mathematically it is pos-
sible, see above, on the other hand the opposite statement ha s no
evidences) we must correct the formula of the energy density for
the electromagnetic field.

Abstract
The experiment is described which shows that Coulomb intera ction spreads
with a limit velocity and thus this kind of interaction canno t be considered
as so called “instantaneous action at a distance”
I. INTRODUCTION
As shown in previous works by one of the authors of this articl e [1-4], instantaneous
action at a distance is the direct consequence of generally a ccepted classical electrody-
namics. Particularly in the aforementioned works it was sho wn that the Coulomb field
(unlike a so called freefield) is spread instantaneously. On the other hand theories exist
which affirm that any kind of electric field spreads with a limit ed rate, but these theories
require significant modification within classical electrod ynamics [5]. However, one cannot
choose theoretically one theory over another; it must be don e through experiment. Thus,
the propose of this present work is to verify experimentally if the Coulomb field is really
spread instantaneously or not.
In the following section we describe an experiment which pro vided us with appropriate
framework for verifying the instantaneous spread.
II. EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT
In order to determine the velocity of the Coulomb interactio n, a Coulomb electric field
generator, which rapidly changes its magnitude, and antenn as which can register this
1electric field, are necessary.
A. The generator
The generator consists of two hollow metallic spheres aandb, connected electrically
by means of a plasma discharger and discharge cable (fig.1):
Fig1. Coulomb electric field generator (regular configuration)
The radius of each sphere is R, the distance between the centres of the spheres is equal
tol. Let us investigate the field at point A, which is on a line which passes through the
centres of both spheres and which is at a distance Lfrom the centre of sphere b. Let us
call this line the “experimental axis”.
Sphere bis charged electrically with a positive charge as far as the b reak-down voltage
of the discharger. Then, a spark flies through the discharger , a spark which is a very brief
plasma cord of little electrical resistance. As we can see, b oth spheres are electrically
connected during the spark by means of the discharge cable al one. Thus begins a process
of discharge, during which a part of the electric charge init ially accumulated on sphere b
oscillates between sphere aand sphere bwith a high frequency. The distance between this
mobile part of the charge and point Achanges with the same frequency. Consequently,
the electric field at point Aalso oscillates according to the Coulomb law. This field has
colinear direction at the experimental axis.
It is important to note that because of the cilindrical symme try of the experimental
construction at point A, the electric field is not perceived due to an electromagenet ic
transversal wave, regardless of the values of the distances landL.
In our examinations further on we will use the quasi-station ary approximation. This
approximation can be correctly applied only if the length of the discharge cable, the radius
of the spheres and all distances in our experiment are less th an the wavelength of the pro-
posed field. All our calculations will be carried out supposi ng that “instantaneous action”
exists, that is, the velocity of propagation of the Coulomb e lectric field is infinite. In this
2case the wavelength will have an infinite value. In case it tur ns out that the electric field
is propagated with a finite velocity and if the use of the quasi -stationary approximation
is not correct, our calculations can only be considered as th e first aproximation in the
description of the process.
From an electric point of view, both spheres aandbare condensers. Their capacitance
is the sum of each sphere’s own capacitance and the capacitan ce in common with the other
sphere:
C=Cown+Ca,b
The discharge cable can be presented as an induction Ldand a resistance Rdconnected in
series. When the discharger is in the state of conduction it c an be substituted by a short
circuit. Consequently, the variable field generator can be p resented as a dipole (fig.2):
Fig.2. Electric diagram equivalent to the electric field generator .
qa(t) andqb(t) are the electric charges corresponding to spheres aandbandUa(t) andUb(t)
are the corresponding potentials. Applying the second law o f Kirchoff for this circuit and
taking into consideration that each sphere is in itself an eq uipotential surface, we obtain:
Rdi(t) +Lddi(t)
dt−1
C[qa(t)−qb(t)] = 0, (1)
where i(t) is the current which passes through the discharge cable.
The process begins by electrically charging sphere bas far as the break-down voltage
of the discharger Ub0. Then, when the spark appears on the surface of sphere ba charge
of
Q0=CUb0
has accumulated.
Just as during the process of discharge there is no charge lea k, and the capacitance of
the discharge cable is not appreciable, it is always
qa(t) +qb(t) =Q0. (2)
3From equations (1) and (2), for the charge qb(t) we obtain the following differential equa-
tion:
d2qb(t)

with the initial conditions in the instant t= 0:
dqb(t)
dt/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle
t=0= 0; qb(t)|t=0=Q0.
The solution to this differential equation is:
qb(t) =qme−βtcos(ωt+α) +Q0

For the electric charge of the sphere awe obtain:
qa(t) =Q0−qb(t) =Q0
2−qme−βtcos(ωt+α). (5)
The electric current discharge i(t) is given by the expression:
i(t) =−qmω0e−βtsinωt. (6)
The potential of the electric field at point Awill be the sum of the potentials generated
by the charges qa(t) and qb(t)

As we pointed out earlier, in the case of the existence of a fini te velocity of the propagation
of the Coulomb interaction, the application of the quasi-st ationary approximation can
be not correct and the processes in the generator may only be d escribed qualitatively.
However, the basic conclusion of the consideration made is c orrect: there are rapid spatial
oscillations of the electric charge along the axis of the exp eriment that produces a rapid
change of electric field at the point A.
4B. The antenna
The antenna is a metallic hollow sphere of radius r, connected by means of a cable to
the earth (fig.3).
Fig.3. Electric antenna.
It is accepted that the earth has a potential equal to zero. Th us, the potential on the
surface of the antenna will always be equal to 0 due to the conn ection to the earth. When
there is no external electrical field the sphere of the antenn a is not electrically charged.
Let us suppose that there is an external electrical field whos e source is sufficiently far
away from the sphere so that we can accept that the potential o f the external field is
not altered considerably in the place of the sphere. Then we c an talk of the potential in
the region on the sphere of the antenna ϕe,a(t). In this case, there is charge q(t) of such
magnitude on the surface of the sphere that equation (8) is fu lfilled:
ϕe,a(t) +ϕi,a(t) =ϕe,a(t) +q(t)
4πε0r= 0, (8)
where ϕi,a(t) is the potential on the surface of the antenna originated by charge q(t),
which comes from the earth. Therefore:
q(t) =−ϕe,a(t) 4πε0r. (9)
When the electric field changes, charge q(t) changes. This means that the electric charge
passes through the connecting cable between the antenna and the earth, in other words,
electric current passes through the connecting cable:
ia(t) =dq(t)
dt=−4πε0rdϕe,a(t)
dt. (10)
The current ia(t) can be recorded.
C. Experimental configuration
The Coulomb electric field generator and two antennas are at a distance Ffrom each
other, as shown in fig. 4:
5Fig.4. The main diagram of the experimental configuration.
The distance from the centre of antenna 1 to the centre of sphe rebof the generator is
L. In the cables, which connect the antennas to earth, small R50magnitude resistors
are included, which do not affect the working of the antennas. The voltage fall on these
resistors is proportional to the current and is supplied at b oth input points to a rapid
digital oscilloscope. In this way, the currents passing thr ough the cables are recorded.
The discharge in the discharger gives rise to an oscillatory displacement of electric
charge along the experimental axis. For this reason, a chang e in the Coulomb electric
field will be emitted from the generator through the same axis . This change, reaching
antennas 1 and 2 will cause the current to flow through the R50resistors and thus, a UR
voltage fall upon them. In the case of “instananeous action” , when the Coulomb electric
field appears simultaneously in the whole space, this UR1(t) voltage fall for antenna 1
satisfies the following differential equation:
dUR,1(t)
dt+1
4πε0rR50UR,1(t) =dϕe,1(t)
dt, (11)
wheredϕe,1(t)
dtis the first derivate of the potential of the Coulomb electric field in the region
of antenna 1, originated by the generator. The inicial condi tionUR,1(0) = 0 gives us the
following solution of this equation:
UR,1(t) =D
(β−B)2+ω2/bracketleftBig
−ωe−Bt+ωe−βtcosωt+ (β−B)e−βtsinωt/bracketrightBig
, (12)
where
D=qmω0
4πε0l
L(L+l);B=1
4πε0rR50.
The voltage fall UR,2(t) corresponding to antenna 2 obeys the same law and the dif-
ference is only in the value of the coefficient D. For antenna 2:
D=qmω0
4πε0l
(L+F)(L+F+l).
The tension UR,1(t) has been supplied to channel 1 of the oscilloscope by means o f a
coaxial cable, and the tension UR,2(t) - at channel 2. Consequently, if “instantaneous
action” exists, two impulses of equal form and different ampl itude should be
6visible on the display of the oscilloscope, which appear sim ultaneously and
develop in a parallel fashion in time . We assume that the air and coaxial cable are
linear structures which possess no noticeable dispersion f or the frequencies used. The
other possibility is that the change in the Coulomb electric field is propagated at a finite
velocity, that is, a wave exists. So, the front of the wave pro duced by the Coulomb electric
field will arrive at antenna 1 first and then at antenna 2 after a certain interval of time
∆t. Consequently, two impulses displaced in time ∆ twill be seen on the display of the
oscilloscope, which will obey the equation:
∆t=F
v,
where vis the velocity of propagation of the wave. The interval can b e measured experi-
mentally and the velocity of the front of the wave vcan be obtained, which by its essence,
is group velocity.
III. PRACTICAL EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT
The Coulomb electric field generator consists of two standar d Van de Graaf generators
with the radius of the balls equal to 10 cm. One of the generato rs becomes electrically
charged during the experiment, and we shall call it “active” . The other, which is only
used for receiving a part of the charge of the active generato r through the discharger
and the discharge cable, we shall call “passive”. The genera tors are elevated on insulating
supports until the centre of the balls reaches a height of 1.7 m with reference to the earth’s
surface. The distance between the centres of both balls is 3 m . The antennas are spheres
of a radius of 9.5 cm, whose centres can be found 1.7 m from the e arth’s surface. The
centre of antenna 1 is to be found at a fixed distance of 0.5 m fro m the centre of the
ball of the Van de Graaf active generator, and the distance be tween the centres of both
antennas varies. Fig. 5 gives an overview of the practical ex perimental equipment:
Fig.5. Practical experimental equipment (overview).
7Antenna 1 is slightly displaced from the experimental axis s o as not to obstruct the
direct visibility between the Van de Graaf and antenna 2 gene rators. If this does not
happen, antenna 1 will behave like a screen and the signal fro m antenna 2 decreases
drastically. Both antennas are connected at the input of the oscilloscope by means of two
high frequency coaxial cables with the characteristic resi stance of 50 Ohms. Antenna 1 is
connected to channel 1 and antenna 2 to channel 2. Each cable i s impedance balanced on
both sides. The lengths of the cables are equal, with an uncer tainty of 5 mm. The noise
at the input of the oscilloscope has a value of 10 mV p−p. The measurement sensitivity of
the temporal intervals is 0.3 ns. The signals which are due to the effects of the apparatus
(signal penetration from one of the channels of the oscillos cope to the other, bad earth
contact, signal penetration through the power supply cable s, etc.) and inductions in
the coaxial cables have already been measured. With this pur pose, an experiment has
been carried out, in which antenna 1 has approached to a maxim um the active Van de
Graaf generator maintaining constant the other variables o f the experiment; the sphere
of antenna 2 has been disconnected from the coaxial cable. Th e signal in channel 2 of
the oscilloscope in the case of various distances bewteen th e end of the coaxial cable
corresponding to antenna 2 and the active Van de Graaf genera tor has been measured.
The result is that in all cases, the signal obtained has a valu e below 0 .5% of the useful
signal (with the sphere of antenna 2 connected). An analogou s experiment has been done
with antenna 1, commuting the exploration of the oscillosco pe to antenna 2. The result
was similar. This allows us to exclude corrections in order t o avoid apparatus effects.
The temporal symmetry of the antennas of the experimental eq uipment has been
verified. The defect of the aforementioned symmetry can be ob tained from a different
length of the coaxial cables or an assymetry of both channels of the oscilloscope. With
this end, both antennas are disposed symmetrically side-by -side at a distance equal to
that of the active Van de Graaf generator. The delay of the fro nt flank of the impulse
of channel 1 with reference to the front flank of the impulse of channel 2 in the case of
various combinations of the sensitivity of the vertical amp lifiers of the oscilloscope has
been determined. The result is that the delay in all cases is b elow 0.3 ns. For this reason
we have considered that, in the following measurements and c alculations, the assymetry
shown in time is equal to 0.3 ns.
8The experiments were carried out in the following manner: An tenna 2 is placed at a
certain distance Ffrom antenna 1. The oscilloscope is put to work in the framewo rk of
the exploration of single firing with a sinchronization alon g the negative front flank of the
impulse of channel 1. One waits until the moment of the sponta neous jump of the spark
between the electrodes of the discharger. The information o f the impulses of antennas 1
and 2 is recorded in the memory of the oscilloscope. Then the a nalysis of the information
begins.
It has been predicted theoretically and demonstrated exper imentally that the first
flanks of impulses from antennas 1 and 2 are negative and have t he same form. For this
reason, by means of an adjustment of the sensitivity of the ve rtical amplifiers of both
channels of the oscilloscope, its parallelism is reached (fi g.6) and then the delay ∆ tof the
impulse flank of antenna 2 with reference to the impulse flank o f antenna 1 is measured.
Fig.6. Disposition of the antennas’ impulses on the display of the o scilloscope.
This investigation has been repeated for different distance s between antennas 1 and 2
in the interval of 0.50 m to 1.50 m spaced uniformly 0.10 m. For each value of distance the
measurement has been reiterated 20 times. With the purpose o f proving what influence
the power supply cables and the oscillations (which are grad ually propagated along them)
have, a complete cycle of investigations has been carried ou t, with the configuration shown
in fig.7:
Fig.7. Coulomb electric field generator (configuration with a turn o f 180◦).
The Coulomb electric field generator is turned 180◦on the horizontal plane, and with
this the passive and active Van de Graaf generators have chan ged places. At the same
time, the disposition of the power supply cables and the bloc k of antennas is unalterable.
9According to the theoretical description, the front flanks o f the impulses of channels 1
and 2 in this case should invert their sign from negative to po sitive and the impulses of
both channels should maintain sameness of form. This is obse rved in practice and the re-
sults of the investigation for ∆ tdo not differ significantly from the results obtained using
the basic configuration. A basic parasite factor is the trans versal electromagnetic wave
which is emitted from the Coulomb interaction generator and is reflected on the earth’s
surface. It is slightly different from the Coulomb interacti on by the sign of its first front
and by the sign of the flank of the first impulse which can be seen on the oscilloscope’s
display respectively. In the case of the basic configuration (fig.5), the first front of the
Coulomb interaction is always negative, while the first fron t of the transversal electromag-
netic wave is positive. This can be explained using the Elect rodynamic theory in the case
of the construction shown of the Coulomb electric field gener ator [6]. In order to separate
the Coulomb interaction from the signal originated by the tr ansversal electromagnetic
wave, the delay observed from the first front of the transvers al electromagnetic wave with
respect to the first front of the Coulomb interaction is of ass istance. This additional time
is that needed by the transversal electromagnetic wave in or der to arrive at the earth’s
surface and then to the antenna, while the Coulomb interacti on is propagated along a
straight line. With the purpose of decreasing additively th e amplitude of the transversal
electromagnetic wave, the discharge cable was electricall y and magnetically screened. The
aformentioned experimental facts oblige us, in order to avo id the influence of the transver-
sal electromagnetic wave on the experimental results, to wo rk with a maximum distance
of 1.5 m between the antennas. In the absence of ”instantaneo us action”, it is necessary
to determine which part of our measuring signal is due to the t ransversal electromagnetic
wave and which part is due to the lonitudinal component of the electric field. Our anten-
nas react to the potential of the electric field and for this re ason cannot distinguish both
components from the electric field. With the purpose of separ ating them, screens have
been used which considerably decrease the intensity of the t ransversal electromagnetic
wave without altering to a relevant degree the amplitude of t he longitudinal component.
Two types of screens have been used: a metallic mesh and a thin layer of aluminium. In
order to reject the influence of the waves reflected in the vary ing objects, the antenna was
placed in a thick aluminium cylinder with one end sealed and t he other open, connected
10to the earth. The opening of the cylinder was directed toward s the Coulomb interaction
generator. The screens were placed covering this opening. T he metallic mesh is made of
iron wire with a diameter of 1mm and the mesh measures 5 mm ×5 mm. Its effectiveness
as armour for the transversal electromagnetic wave with the frequency obtained by us for
9.2 MHz is greater than 50 dB[7]. This means that the signal du e to this wave decreases
considerably and now barely affects the results of the experi ment. In this case, we register
a decrease of our signal of just 0.5 dB. Because of this, we can conclude the practically
all of our signal comes from the logitudinal component of the electric field generated by
the Coulomb interaction generator. We repeated the same exp eriment using a 0.02 mm
thick aluminium sheet as a screen. Its effectiveness as armou r for the transversal electro-
magnetic wave of the aformentioned frequency is greater tha n 80 dB[7]. The decrease in
the signal is just 1 dB, and this result confirms the previous c onclusion that our signal
from the antenna is only due to the longitudinal component of the electric field.
IV. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
The results of the experiment are presented in fig.8.
Fig.8. Relation between the delay ∆ tbetween the impulses of both antennas and the distance
Fbetween the antennas.
The distance Fbetween antenna 1 and antenna 2 has been traced along the hori zontal
axis. The delay ∆ tof the signal of antenna 2 with reference to antenna 1 has been traced
on the vertical axis. The uncertainties of the measurement r esults have also been marked
on the distance axis and the time axis.
The straight line, which is presented in the drawing, expres ses the empirical linear
relation, which relates distance Fto the delay ∆ t. This has been determined by means
of the minimum square method. The line, which corresponds th e the speed of light
c= 3.00×108m/s cannot be differentiated from the line shown by the limite d exactness
of the representation on the drawing.
11Following a statistical treatment one obtains, that with a r eliable probability P= 0.95
the group velocity of the propagation of the Coulomb interac tion is found in the interval
[8]:
v= (3.03±0.07)×108m/s
We would like to call this type of field propagation “ Coulomb waves ”, which, of course,
has no analogy with the usual electromagnetic waves.
V. CONCLUSIONS
P.A.M. Dirac wrote ([9], p. 32): “ As long as we are dealing only with transverse
waves, we cannot bring in the Coulomb interactions between p articles. To bring them in,
we have to introduce longitudinal electromagnetic waves an d include them in the potentials
Aµ.” It is known, however, that generally accepted Maxwellian e lectrodynamics forbids
the spreading of anylongitudinal electro-magnetic perturbation in vacuum. So Dirac
writes ([9], p. 32): “ The longitudinal waves can be eliminated by means of a mathem atical
transformation... ”. But after this transformation one gets the theory in which a charge
isalways accompanied by the Coulomb field around it, i.e. ([9], p. 32) “ Whenever an
electron is emitted, the Coulomb field around it is simultaneously emitted, forming a
kind ofdressing for the electron. Similarly, when an electron is absorbed, t he Coulomb
field around it is simultaneously absorbed ”.
In accord with the above it was shown [1-4] that the Coulomb in teraction “works”
instantaneously , if one accepts that basic equations of classical electrody namics are right.
On the other hand our experiment shows that the Coulomb inter action, at least, does not
spread instantaneously. The proper inference from this exp eriment is that the Coulomb
interaction cannot be considered as so called “instantaneo us action at a distance” and,
in turn, the basic equations of classical electrodynamics can be incomplete and moreover,
their application is even limited in classical electrodyna mics.

the author has not been able to reach his goal in his article. W ith that purpose a
standart statistical processing of the author’s presented results has been completed
in [1], using the same symbols. The following relationships have been used [2-4]

¿From the results in [1] the accuracy with which the experime nt should be carried
out is seen, it is comparable with the accuracy of a metrologi cal experiment. For
following, in the statistical processing of the experiment al data, the requirements
of a metrological experiment should be respected. For that r eason, a level of the
confidence probability Phas been accepted as 0.999. On the other hand, the noted
confidence probability is required for each experiment that aspires to demonstrate
invalidity in a fundamental physical principle. If the weig ht of a sample is measured
10 times in an experimental series and P= 0.999, the Student’s coefficient is valued
ast(0.999,10) = 4 .78. There are two possibilities:
1. If the digit “0” is outside the confidence interval, it can b e confirmed with a
probability of 0.999, that the exact value of magnitude M is d ifferent from “0”.
2. If the digit 0 is inside the confidence interval, nothing ca n be deduced.
The deviation limit ∆ M, that is only due to the scale error ∆ d, equals 4 ×
10−6. Because of this, there is no reason to consider those combin ations of chemical
substances, where M≤4×10−6, and only the cases where M >4×10−6will be
dealt with. In Table 1 magnitude M(calculated by M. Nanni), ∆ M, the reliable
interval and the relative error for several chemical substa nce combinations have
been presented:
Lead Aluminium Gold Bronze Silver Brass-Sand

∆M(×10−6) 9.07 8.11 9.42 8.79 6.26

∆M
M·100% 113% 101% 157% 146% 104%
Table 1
It can be seen that digit “0” participates in all of the confide nce intervals. This
clearly indicates that magnitude M can be different or equal t o “0”. In Table 1 it
can be seen that the relative error for all of the combination s is bigger than 100%! In
this case the standard formulas should not be used for a norma l distribution, instead
2more general statistical formulas should be used. But this w ill considerably increase
the width of the confidence interval. Finally, it is possible that some deviations of
the WEP exist. Regrettably, the author has not been able to de monstrate this
thesis in his article [1]. The results of the article can only justify the realization of
a new series of measurements with a more precise scale and/or a higher number of
the weight measurements for each sample, and a appropriate s tatistical processing.

The divergent perturbation series for the LoSurdo–Stark eff ect has purely real coefficients. By
contrast, the energy eigenvalue of the quasistationary sta tes is complex (the imaginary part corre-
sponds to the autoionization width). Two resummation presc riptions are compared: (i) a contour-
improved resummation method based on a combination of Borel and Pad´ e techniques and (ii) a
combination of the Borel method with an analytic continuati on by conformal mapping. With both
methods, the complex energy eigenvalue can be reconstructe d from the purely real perturbation
series. The performance of both methods is compared, calcul ational difficulties at strong field are
addressed, and the connection to divergent perturbative ex pansions in quantum field theory is dis-
cussed.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Rayleigh–Schr¨ odinger perturbation series for the
LoSurdo–Stark effect [1,2] can be formulated to arbitrar-
ily high order [3]. The perturbative coefficients grow fac-
torially in absolute magnitude [4], and the radius of con-
vergence of the perturbation series about the origin is
zero. The perturbation series is a divergent, asymptotic
expansion in the electric field strength F, i.e. about zero
electric field. This means that the perturbative terms at
small coupling first decrease in absolute magnitude up to
some minimal term. After passing through the minimal
term, the perturbative terms increase again in magni-
tude, and the series ultimately diverges.
By the use of a resummation method, it is possible
to assign a finite value to an otherwise divergent se-
ries, and various applications of resummation methods in
mathematics and physics have been given, e.g., in [5–9].
For a general introduction to divergent series we refer
to [10–19]. When a divergent series is resummed, the su-
perficial precision limit set by the minimal term can be
overcome, and more accurate results can be obtained as
compared to the optimal truncation of the perturbation
series [20].
In [21] it was shown that the convergence of Rayleigh-
Schr¨ odinger perturbation theory can be improved if (di-
agonal) Pad´ e approximants to the divergent perturbation
series are evaluated instead of the “raw” partial sums of
the divergent perturbation series (see Table I in [21]).
However, the Pad´ e approximants cannot reproduce the
full physical result. The rational approximants produce
real output if the (purely real) perturbative coefficients
of the Stark effect are used as input data. The imaginary
part of the complex energy pseudoeigenvalue, which cor-
responds to the autoionization width, is not reproduced.
The divergent perturbation series of the LoSurdo–
Stark effect has both alternating and nonalternating com-
ponents (as explained in Sec. II below). Rather signifi-cant differences exist between the resummation of nonal-
ternating divergent perturbation series (i.e., series who se
terms have the same sign) and alternating divergent per-
turbation series (i.e., series whose terms alternate in
sign). Typically, nonalternating series describe “unsta-
ble” physical situations in which the energy eigenvalues
acquire an imaginary component. An example for a non-
alternating divergent series is the quartic anharmonic os-
cillator at negative coupling (the perturbation is of the
formg x4where gis the coupling). The perturbative co-
efficients for the anharmonic oscillator grow factorially
and alternate in sign [22–29]. The energy levels of the
quartic anharmonic oscillator acquire a width when the
coupling parameter becomes negative ( g <0). This sce-
nario is equivalent to a nonalternating perturbation serie s
at positive coupling. The energy eigenvalue of the quar-
tic anharmonic oscillator as a function of the coupling
parameter has a branch cut along the negative real axis
(see Ch. 37 of [30]). The resummation of nonalternat-
ing series or of series which have a leading or subleading
nonalternating component, therefore corresponds to a re-
summation “on the cut” in the complex plane. Histori-
cally, the resummation of divergent series with nonalter-
nating contributions has been problematic [5,6]. Here, we
show that the divergent perturbation series of the Stark
effect can be resummed by a combination of Borel [10]
and Pad´ e [5,7] techniques, where the Pad´ e approximants
are used for the analytic continuation of the partial sums
of the Borel transform beyond the circle of convergence.
The final evaluation of the Laplace–Borel integral is car-
ried out along an integration contour introduced in [20].
The LoSurdo–Stark effect and in particular the de-
cay width, which is nonperturbative and nonanalytic
in the electric field, have attracted considerable atten-
tion [3,4,21,31–61]. Experiments have been performed
in field strengths up to a couple of MV/cm [62–65]. A
rather mathematically motivated investigation regarding
the Borel summability of the divergent perturbation se-
1ries for the LoSurdo–Stark effect was performed in [39].
Mathematical considerations on the Borel summability
in general imply a priori that the Borel transform can
be analytically continued beyond its finite radius of con-
vergence. The problem of how this analytic continua-
tion of the Borel transform can be constructed from a
finite number of perturbative terms, is not considered.
Also, it should be noted that the investigation [39] is
restricted to nonreal, unphysical electric field strengths
0<argF < π . The result for a physically relevant,
real field strength Frequires an additional analytic con-
tinuation. The calculation [52] showed that it is pos-
sible to perform the analytic continuation of the Borel
transform by employing Pad´ e approximants. In com-
parison to the investigation [52], we use here a slightly
modified, but equivalent integration contour for the eval-
uation of the generalized Borel integral (see [20] and
Sec. III below). This contour exhibits the additional
terms which have to be added to the otherwise recom-
mended principal-value prescription [66–68]. The inte-
gration off the real axis serves to reproduce the full phys-
ical result for the energy level (including the width of the
quasistationary state). Our calculation extends to higher
field strengths than [52], and we also investigate an ex-
cited state, whereas the previous work [52] was restricted
to the ground state.
The alternative resummation method discussed here
makes use of a conformal mapping of the Borel
plane [67–73] and leads to results consistent with the
method indicated above. The application of the confor-
mal mapping depends on further information about the
perturbation series. As explained in Sec. IV below, we de-
termine the radius of convergence of the Borel transform
by analyzing the large-order growth of the perturbative
coefficients. Moreover, we calculate the branch points in
the Borel plane. These results make possible the appli-
cation of the conformal mapping for the analytic con-
tinuation of the Borel transform. The resummation of
the perturbative expansion can then be accomplished by
evaluating a generalized Laplace–Borel integral.
This paper is organized as follows: In Sec. II, we
give a brief outline of the perturbative expansion for the
LoSurdo–Stark effect. In Secs. III and IV, we describe
the resummation methods which are used to obtain the
numerical results presented in Sec. V. We conclude with
a summary of the results in Sec. VI. Finally, the connec-
tion of the current investigation to quantum field theo-
retic perturbation series and a number of recent investi-
gations in this area is briefly discussed in Appendix VI.
II. PERTURBATION SERIES FOR THE
LoSURDO–STARK EFFECT
In the presence of an electric field, the SO(4) symmetry
of the hydrogen atom is broken, and parabolic quantum
numbers n1,n2andmare used for the classification ofthe atomic states [74]. For the Stark effect, the pertur-
bative expansion of the energy eigenvalue E(n1, n2, m, F )
reads [see Eq. (59) of [3]],

Here, the principal quantum number nas a function of

According to Eq. (2), the perturbative coefficients

can be written as a sum of a nonalternating factorially di-
vergent series [first term in Eq. (2)] and of an alternating
factorially divergent series [second term in Eq. (2)]. Be-
cause the aninjm
kin Eq. (3) are multiplied by the factorial
(2ni+m+N−k)!, we infer that for large perturbation
theory order N, the term related to the aninjm
0 coefficient
(k= 0) dominates. Terms with k≥1 are suppressed in

According to Eqs. (2), (3) and (7), for states with n1<
n2, the nonalternating component of the perturbation
series dominates in large order of perturbation theory,
whereas for states with n1> n2, the alternating compo-
nent is dominant as N→ ∞. For states with n1=n2,
the odd- Nperturbative coefficients vanish [43], and the
2even-Ncoefficients necessarily have the same sign in large
order [see Eq. (2)]. According to Eq. (2), there are sub-
leading divergent nonalternating contributions for state s
withn1> n2, and there exist subleading divergent al-
ternating contributions for states with n1< n2. This
complicates the resummation of the perturbation series./B9

III. RESUMMATION BY BOREL–PAD ´E
TECHNIQUES
The resummation of the perturbation series (1) by a
combination of the Borel transformation and Pad´ e ap-
proximants proceeds as follows. First we define the pa-
rameter
λ= 2 max( n1, n2) +m+ 1. (8)
The large-order growth of the perturbative coefficients
[see Eqs. (2) and (3)] suggests the definition of the (gen-
eralized) Borel transform [see Eq. (4) in [76]]

N=0E(N)

Γ(N+λ)zN, (9)
where we consider the argument zofEB(z) as a complex
variable. Because the perturbative coefficients E(N)
n1n2m
diverge factorially in absolute magnitude, the Borel
transform EB(z) has a finite radius of convergence about
the origin. The evaluation of the (generalized) Laplace–
Borel integral [see Eq. (11) below] therefore requires an
analytic continuation of EB(z) beyond the radius of con-
vergence. The “classical” Borel integral is performed in
thez-range z∈(0,∞), i.e. along the positive real axis[see e.g. Eqs. (8.2.3) and (8.2.4) of [5]]. It has been sug-
gested in [66] that the analytic continuation of (9) into
regions where Fretains a nonvanishing, albeit infinitesi-
mal, imaginary part can be achieved by evaluating Pad´ e
approximants. Using the first M+ 1 terms in the power
expansion of the Borel transform EB(z), we construct the
Pad´ e approximant (we follow the notation of [7])

where [[ x]] denotes the largest positive integer smaller

C+1dt tλ−1exp(−t)PM(F t).(11)
The successive evaluation of transforms TEM(F) in in-
creasing transformation order Mis performed, and the
apparent convergence of the transforms is examined.
This procedure is illustrated in Tables I and II of [20].
In the current evaluation, a slightly modified scheme is
used for selecting the poles in the upper right quadrant
of the complex plane as compared to [20].
The contour C+1is supposed to encircle all poles at
t=ziin the upper right quadrant of the complex plane
with arg zi< π/4 in the mathematically negative sense.
That is to say, the contribution of all poles ziwith
Rezi>0, Imzi>0 and Re zi>Imzi,

is added to the principal value (P.V.) of the integral (11)
carried out in the range t∈(0,∞). Note the further
restriction (Im zi<Rezior equivalently arg zi< π/4)
with regard to the selection of poles in comparison to
the previous investigation [20]. In practical calculation s,
this modification is observed not to affect the numerical
values of the transforms TEM(F) defined in Eq. (11) in
higher transformation order M≥10 [i.e. for large M, see
also Eq. (14) below], because the poles are observed to
cluster near the real axis in higher transformation order,
and so the contribution of poles with π/4<argzi< π/2
gradually vanishes. We have,
TEM(F) = (P .V.)/integraldisplay∞
0dt tλ−1exp(−t)PM(F t)
−2π i/summationdisplay
iRes
t=zitλ−1exp(−t)PM(F t). (12)
The principal-value prescription [first term in Eq. (12)]
for the evaluation of the Laplace–Borel integral has been
recommended in [66,75]. This prescription leads to a
real (rather than complex) result for the energy shift
and cannot account for the width of the quasistationary
3state. The additional pole contributions [second term in
Eq. (12)] are responsible for complex-valued (imaginary)
corrections which lead, in particular, to the decay width.
By contour integration (Cauchy Theorem) and Jor-
dan’s Lemma, one can show that the result obtained
along C+1is equivalent to an integration along the
straight line with arg z=π/4,
TEM(F) =cλ/integraldisplay∞
0dt tλ−1exp(−c t)PM(F c t) (13)
where c= exp( i π/4). This contour has been used in [52]
(see also p. 815 in [30]). The exponential factor exp( −c t)
and the asymptotic behavior of the Pad´ e approximant
PM(F c t) ast→ ∞ together ensure that the integrand
falls off sufficiently rapidly so that the Cauchy Theorem
and Jordan’s Lemma can be applied to show the equiva-
lence of the representations (12) and (13).
The representation (13) illustrates the fact that the
integration in the complex plane along C+1analytically
continues the resummed result in those cases where the
evaluation of the standard Laplace–Borel integral is not
feasible due to poles on the real axis. The representations
(11) and (12) serve to clarify the role of the additional
terms which have to be added to the result obtained by
the principal-value prescription in order to obtain the
full physical result, including the nonperturbative, non-
analytic contributions. Note that, as stressed in [20],
the pole contributions in general do not only modify the
imaginary, but also the real part of the resummed value
for the perturbation series.
Formally, the limit of the sequence of the TEM(F) as
M→ ∞, provided it exists, yields the nonperturbative
result inferred from the perturbative expansion (1),
lim
M→∞TEM(F) =E(F)≡E(n1, n2, m, F ).(14)
Because the contour C+1shown in Fig. 1 extends into
the complex plane, the transforms TEM(F) acquire an
imaginary part even though the perturbative coefficients
in Eq. (1) are real.
In the context of numerical analysis, the concept of
incredulity [77] may be used for the analysis of the con-
vergence of the transforms TEM(F) of increasing order
M. If a certain number of subsequent transforms ex-
hibit apparent numerical convergence within a specified
relative accuracy, then the calculation of transforms is
stopped, and the result of the last calculated transfor-
mation is taken as the numerical limit of the series under
investigation. It has been observed in [20,66] that for
a number of physically relevant perturbation series, the
apparent numerical convergence of the transforms (11),
with increasing transformation order, leads to the phys-
ically correct results. Note that in [66], specific pertur-
bation series were examined for which the second term
in (12) vanishes.
The resummation method by a combination of Borel
and Pad´ e techniques, which has been introduced inthe current Section, will be referred to as “method I”
throughout the current paper.
IV. RESUMMATION BY CONFORMAL
MAPPING
According to Eqs. (2) and (3), the perturbative coeffi-
cientE(N)
n1n2m, for large N, can be written as the sum of
an alternating and of a nonalternating divergent series.
In view of Eqs. (4) and (7), we conclude that the series
defined in Eq. (9),
EB(z) =∞/summationdisplay
N=0E(N)
n1n2m
Γ(N+λ)zN,
has a radius of convergence
s=2
3n3(15)
about the origin, where nis the principal quantum num-
ber [see Eq. (5)]. Therefore, the function
EB(w) =∞/summationdisplay
N=0E(N)
n1n2msN
Γ(N+λ)wN, (16)
has a unit radius of convergence about the origin. It is not
a priori obvious if the points w=−1 and w= +1 repre-
sent isolated singularities or branch points. The asymp-
totic properties (2) and (3) together with Eq. (6) suggest
that the points w=−1 and w= +1 do not constitute
poles of finite order. We observe that the leading facto-
rial growth of the perturbative coefficients in large per-
turbation order Nis divided out in the Borel transform
(16), which is a sum over N. The perturbative coeffi-
cientE(N)
n1n2mcan be written as an asymptotic series over
k[see Eq. (3)]. We interchange the order of the summa-
tions over Nandk, we use Eq. (6) and take advantage
of the identity
∞/summationdisplay
N=0wk
Nk= Li k(w).
The Borel transform EB(w) can then be written as a sum
over terms of the form Tk(w) where for k→ ∞,
Tk(w)∼C(ni, nj, m)aninjm
kLik(w). (17)
The coefficient C(ni, nj, m) is given by
C(ni, nj, m) =−/bracketleftbig
2πn3nj! (nj+m)!/bracketrightbig−1
×exp{3 (ni−nj)}62nj+m+1. (18)
These considerations suggest that the points w=−1
andw= +1 represent essential singularities (in this case,
branch points) of the Borel transform EB(w) defined in
4Eq. (16). For the analytic continuation of EB(w) by con-
formal mapping, we write was
w=2y
1 +y2(19)
(this conformal mapping preserves the origin of the com-
plex plane). Here, we refer to was the Borel variable,
and we call ythe conformal variable. We then express
theMth partial sum of (16) as
EM
B(w) =M/summationdisplay
N=0E(N)
n1n2msN
Γ(N+λ)wN
=M/summationdisplay
N=0CNyN+O(yM+1), (20)
where the coefficients CNare uniquely determined [see,
e.g., Eqs. (36) and (37) of [67]]. We define the partial
sum of the Borel transform, re-expanded in terms of the
conformal variable y, as
E′M
B(y) =M/summationdisplay
N=0CNyN. (21)
We then evaluate (lower-diagonal) Pad´ e approximants to
the function E′M
B(y),
E′′M
B(y) =/bracketleftbigg
[[M/2]]/slashbigg
[[(M+ 1)/2]]/bracketrightbigg

C+1dw wλ−1exp/parenleftbig
−w/parenrightbig
E′′M
B/parenleftbig
y(w)/parenrightbig
.
(23)
At increasing M, the limit as M→ ∞, provided it ex-
ists, is then again assumed to represent the complete,
physically relevant solution,
E(F) = lim
M→∞T′′EM(F). (24)
We do not consider the question of the existence of this
limit here (for an outline of questions related to these
issues we refer to [68]).
Inverting Eq. (19) yields [see Eq. (23)]
y(w) =√1 +w−√1−w√1 +w+√1−w. (25)
The conformal mapping given by Eqs. (19) and (25) maps
the doubly cut w-plane with cuts running from w= 1 to
w=∞andw=−1 tow=−∞unto the unit circle in
the complex y-plane. The cuts themselves are mapped
to the edge of the unit circle in the y-plane.In comparison to the investigations [67] and [68],
we use here a different conformal mapping defined in
Eqs. (19) and (25) which reflects the different singular-
ity structure in the complex plane [cf. Eq. (27) in [67]].
We also mention the application of Pad´ e approximants
for the numerical improvement of the conformal map-
ping performed according to Eq. (22). In comparison to
a recent investigation [73], where the additional Pad´ e–
improvement in the conformal variable is also used, we
perform here the analytic continuation by a mapping
whose structure reflects the double cuts suggested by
the asymptotic properties of the perturbative coefficients
given in Eqs. (2), (3) and (6) [cf. Eq. (5) in [73]].
The method introduced in this Section will be referred
to as “method II”. It is one of the motivations for the
current investigation to contrast and compare the two
methods I and II. A comparison of different approaches
to the resummation problem for series with both alter-
nating and nonalternating divergent components appears
useful, in part because the conformal mapping (without
further Pad´ e improvement) has been recommended for
the resummation of quantum chromodynamic perturba-
tion series [67,68].
We do not consider order-dependent mappings
here [69–72]. For an order-dependent mapping to be con-
structed, the conformal mapping in Eq. (19) has to be
modified, and a free parameter ρhas to be introduced.
The coefficients CNin the accordingly modified Eq. (21)
then become ρ-dependent. The free parameter ρis cho-
sen so that the ρ-dependent coefficient CM(ρ) of order M
vanishes. Consequently, the choice of ρdepends on the
order Mof perturbation theory, and in this way the map-
ping becomes order-dependent. Certain complications
arise because ρcannot be chosen arbitrarily, but has to
be selected, roughly speaking, as the first zero of the ρ-
dependent coefficient CM(ρ) for which the absolute mag-
nitude of the derivative C′
M(ρ) is small (this is explained
in [30], p. 886). It is conceivable that with a judicious
choice of ρ, further acceleration of the convergence can
be achieved, especially when the order-dependent map-
ping is combined with a Pad´ e approximation as it is done
here in Eq. (22) with our order- independent mapping. In
the current investigation, we restrict the discussion to
the conformal order-independent mapping (19) which is
nevertheless optimal in the sense discussed in [67,68].
V. NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS
In this section, the numerical results based on the re-
summation methods introduced in Secs. III and IV are
presented. Before we describe the calculation in detail,
we should note that relativistic corrections to both the
real and the imaginary part of the energy contribute at
a relative order of ( Zα)2compared to the leading non-
relativistic effect which is treated in the current inves-
tigation (and in the previous work on the subject, see
5e.g. [43,52]). Therefore, the theoretical uncertainty due
to relativistic effects can be estimated to be, at best, 1
part in 104(for an outline of the relativistic and quan-
tum electrodynamic corrections in hydrogen see [78–84]).
Measurements in very high fields are difficult [62]. At the
achievable field strengths to date (less than 0 .001 a.u.or
about 5 MV /cm), the accuracy of the theoretical predic-
tion exceeds the experimental precision, and relativistic
effects do not need to be taken into account.
The perturbative coefficients E(N)
n1n2mdefined in Eq. (1)for the energy shift can be inferred, to arbitrarily high or-
der, from the Eqs. (9), (13–15), (28–33), (59–67) and (73)
in [3]. The atomic unit system is used in the sequel, as is
customary for this type of calculation [3,33,36,38]. The
unit of energy is α2mec2= 27.211 eV where αis the
fine structure constant, and the unit of the electric field
is the field strength felt by an electron at a distance of
one Bohr radius aBohrto a nucleus of elementary charge,
which is 1 /(4π ǫ0)(e/a2
Bohr) = 5.142×103MV/cm (here,
ǫ0is the permittivity of the vacuum).

the earlier work [36]. Discrepancies at large field in compar ison to the investigation [36] have also been found in [46,51 ,54].

We consider the resummation of the divergent pertur-
bative expansion (1) for two states of atomic hydrogen.
These are the ground state ( n1=n2=m= 0) and an
excited state with parabolic quantum numbers n1= 3,
n2= 0,m= 1 [note Eq. (5)]. We list here the first few
perturbative coefficients for the states under investiga-
tion. For the ground state, we have (in atomic units),
E000(F) =−1
2−9
4F2−3 555
64F4
−2 512 779
512F6−13 012 777 803
16 384F8+. . . (26)The perturbation series for the state n1= 3, n2= 0,
m= 1 is alternating, but has a subleading nonalternat-
ing component [see Eq. (2)]. The first perturbative terms
read
E301(F) =−1
50+45
2F−31875
2F2
+54 140 625
4F3−715 751 953 125
16F4+. . . (27)
Note that for F= 0, the unperturbed nonrelativistic en-
ergy is recovered, which is −1/(2n2) in atomic units. In
contrast to the real perturbative coefficients, the energy
6pseudoeigenvalue (resonance) E(n1, n2, m, F ) has a real
and an imaginary component,
E(n1, n2, m, F ) = Re En1n2m(F)−i
2Γn1n2m(F),(28)
where Γ n1n2m(F) is the autoionization width.
Using the computer algebra system Mathemat-
ica[85,86], the perturbative coefficients in the expansion
of the energy (1) are evaluated up to N= 40. This makes
possible the evaluation of the transforms TEM(F) de-
fined in Eq. (11) up to the transformation order M= 40.
The apparent convergence of the transforms in higher or-
der is examined. This procedure leads to the numerical
results listed in Tables I and II. The numerical error
of our results is estimated by determining the numerical
variation (highest and lowest value) of the four highest-
order transforms M= 37,38,39,40. It is conceivable
that more accurate numerical results could be obtained
by evaluating higher-order transforms of order M >40.
An important result of the comparison of the meth-
ods introduced in Secs. III and IV is the following:
Both methods appear to accomplish a resummation of
the perturbation series to the physically correct result.
Method II (Borel+Pad´ e-improved conformal mapping,
see Sec. IV) appears to perform marginally better than
method I (plain Borel+Pad´ e, see Sec. III). Both methods
yield approximately the same number of significant fig-
ures in the final result. For the perturbation series stud-
ied in [73], considerable improvement was achieved by
employing a variant of method II as compared to method
I applied to the very problem studied in [73] (roughly
two more significant figures were obtained with method
II than with method I). In all cases considered (here and
in [73]), both methods I and II lead to results which are
in mutual agreement. To date, a rigorous theory of the
performance of the resummation methods for divergent
series of the type discussed in this work (with alternating
and nonalternating components) does not exist.
In order to illustrate the above statements, we con-
sider, for the atomic state with quantum numbers n1= 3,
n2= 0 and m= 1, the evaluation of the transforms
TEM(F) defined in Eq. (11) (method I) and of the trans-
forms T′′EM(F) defined in Eq. (23) (method II) in trans-
formation order M= 38,39,40 for a field strength of
F= 2.1393×10−4. Method II leads to the following
results,
T′′E37(F= 2.1393×10−4) =−0.015 860 468 42
−0.529 32 ×10−6,
T′′E38(F= 2.1393×10−4) =−0.015 860 468 39
−0.529 11 ×10−6,
T′′E39(F= 2.1393×10−4) =−0.015 860 468 37
−0.529 11 ×10−6andT′′E40(F= 2.1393×10−4) =−0.015 860 468 39
−0.529 09 ×10−6.
Here, we should note one important point: The addi-
tional Pad´ e–improvement of method II significantly im-
proves the convergence. If the plain conformal mapping
is used, i.e. if the evaluation of the Pad´ e approximants
in Eq. (22) is left out and the partial sum expressed in
terms of the conformal variable (21) is directly plugged
into the integral (23), then the numerical accuracy dete-
riorates. In this case, the real part of the 39th and the
40th transform read −0.015 860 424 and −0.015 860 616,
respectively, which corresponds to 5 less significant fig-
ures in the final result than achievable by method II.
Method I yields the following data,
TE37(F= 2.1393×10−4) =−0.015 860 468 41
−0.529 25 ×10−6,
TE38(F= 2.1393×10−4) =−0.015 860 468 43
−0.529 18 ×10−6,
TE39(F= 2.1393×10−4) =−0.015 860 468 28
−0.529 31 ×10−6and
TE40(F= 2.1393×10−4) =−0.015 860 468 32
−0.529 13 ×10−6.
Numerical results obtained by resummation are pre-
sented in Tables I and II for a variety of field strengths
and for the two atomic states under investigation here.
At large field, the numerical evaluation of the pseu-
doeigenvalues has been historically problematic. Follow-
ing early work [32,33,35], the numerical results of [36] ap-
pear to have been taken as a reference point for a number
of subsequent calculations. In [3], results are obtained
by optimal truncation of the perturbative expansion (see
Table VII of [3]). These results are real rather than com-
plex. This restriction is shared by methods which are
based on the direct application of Pad´ e approximants to
the perturbation series, as pointed out in Sec. I (see also
Ref. [21]). Such an approach can only lead to better ap-
proximants for the realpart of the energy.
The fact that the numerical calculation [36] is inaccu-
rate at large field has been indicated explicitly in [51].
The calculation [51] yields improved accuracy for the
ground state at large field. However, e.g. for the excited
state with quantum numbers n1= 3,n2= 0 and m= 1,
the numerical precision of the calculation [51] has not
been sufficient to discern any numerical discrepancy with
the previous calculation [36] (see Table III in [51]). Very
accurate data for the ground state, even at large field,
have also been obtained in the investigation [46], which
is based on a complex coordinate approach. Our data are
consistent with the results of [46]. The calculation [46] is
7restricted to the ground state. Another investigation [50] ,
based on complex coordinates, has lead to very accurate
data for the ground state; field strengths of F≤0.1 inatomic units are considered. In [52] (generalized Borel–
Pad´ e resummation), numerical data are obtained for the
ground state, again for field strengths F≤0.1.

the ground state, discrepancies are observed at large field.

The numerical calculation [36], while leading to inac-
curate results for excessively large electric fields, yield s
very accurate data for all experimentally accessible elec-
tric field strengths to date. In addition, it should be no-
ticed that the inaccuracies at excessively large field of [36 ]
have been pointed out by the same authors in [54]. How-
ever, not all atomic states considered in [36] were treated
in the later investigation [54]. Our data for the ground
state indicated in Table I are consistent with the numer-
ical results obtained in [54]. However, it should be noted
that the later work [54] leaves out the excited state with
quantum numbers n1= 3,n2= 0 and m= 1 for which
results are given here here in Table II. To the best of our
knowledge, the numerical discrepancy with [36] for the
excited state with quantum numbers n1= 3,n2= 0 and
m= 1 has not been recorded in the literature. We do
not claim here that it would have been impossible to dis-
cern this discrepancy with the other methods which have
been devised for the theoretical LoSurdo–Stark problem.
Notably, it appears likely that the approach from [54] or
the method presented in [46] could easily be generalized
to the particular excited state considered here, and that
such a generalization would lead to very accurate results.
We merely include Table II here in order to illustrate the
utility of the rather unconventional resummation method
for the regime of large coupling, where even rather sophis-
ticated numerical methods, which avoid the intricacies of
a small-field perturbative expansion, have been shown to
be problematic [36,54]. We confirm that the numerical
data given in [36] are accurate up to a field strength of
F≈0.1 for the ground state and up to F≈3×10−4for the excited ( n= 5)-state with n1= 3,n2= 0 and
m= 1.
In order to exemplify the utility of a resummation
method in comparison to the pure perturbation series,
we briefly consider here the ground state for a relatively
large field F= 0.40. In this case, the first partial sums
of the perturbation series (26) read
−0.5,−0.86,−2.282,−22.3842, . . .
This divergent sequence of numbers illustrates that at
large coupling, the perturbation series becomes entirely
meaningless unless it is combined with a suitable resum-
mation process.
VI. CONCLUSION
The quasistationary states of hydrogenlike atoms in
an electric background field have been investigated using
the perturbative approach in [3,43]. We would also like to
mention a recent investigation where allowance is made
for polynomial potentials in contrast to the constant elec-
tric field which leads to a linear potential [61]. These in-
vestigations are complemented by approaches which com-
bine the perturbative series with resummation methods,
as it is done in [21,52] and in the current investigation.
Here, we discuss the resummation of the divergent per-
turbation series of the LoSurdo–Stark effect using two
methods. Method I, which uses a variant of the contour-
improved Borel–Pad´ e technique introduced in [52], is de-
scribed in Sec. III. The integration contour is modified so
8that the additional terms which have to be added to the
principal value of the Laplace–Borel integral are clearly
identified [see Eq. (12)]. Method II, which comprises an
analytic continuation by conformal mapping with addi-
tional improvement by Pad´ e approximants in the confor-
mal variable [see Eq. (22)], is discussed in Sec. IV. This
method is a variant of the method introduced in [67,68]
which has been shown to accelerate convergence of per-
turbative quantum chromodynamics (by optimal confor-
mal mapping of the Borel plane). Both methods accom-
plish a resummation of the divergent perturbation series
(1) for the LoSurdo–Stark effect, and the decay width of
the quasistationary states is obtained (see Sec. V and the
numerical results in Tables I and II).
It is a characteristic feature of the quasistationary
states in an electric field that nonperturbative, nonan-
alytic imaginary contributions exist which correspond to
the autoionization decay width [see Eq. (28)]. These
contributions cannot be accounted for by perturba-
tion theory (the coefficients are real rather than com-
plex), unless the perturbation series is combined with
a resummation process. In quantum electrodynamics,
we encounter nonperturbative effects in the electron-
positron pair-production amplitude in a background elec-
tric field [87–90]. The vacuum-to-vacuum amplitude ac-
quires an imaginary part, whose magnitude is related to
the production rate per space-time volume of fermion-
antifermion pairs. This nonperturbative, imaginary con-
tribution can be inferred from the perturbative expan-
sion of the effective action by contour-improved resum-
mation [20]. Nonperturbative effects typically involve a
nonanalytic factor of exp( −1/g) where gis an appro-
priate coupling parameter for the physical system under
investigation (in the case of the LoSurdo–Stark effect,
the coupling parameter is the electric field strength F).
The existence of nonperturbative contributions is inti-
mately linked with the failure of the Carleman criterion
for a particular perturbation series (see for example [24],
Theorems XII.17 and XII.18 and the definition on p. 43
in [91], p. 410 in [5], or the elucidating discussion in
Ref. [92]). The Carleman criterion determines, roughly
speaking, if nonanalytic contributions exist for a given ef -
fect which is described by a specified perturbation series.
The relevance of the Carleman criterion for the perturba-
tive expansions encountered in the current investigation,
is discussed in [20].
We also mention the connection of the perturbative
expansion for the LoSurdo–Stark effect to perturbative
expansions in quantum chromodynamics. The divergent
nonalternating and alternating contributions to the per-
turbation series [see Eqs. (2) and (3)] correspond in their
mathematical structure to infrared and ultraviolet renor-
malons [93], and the structure of a doubly cut Borel
plane (see Sec. IV) is used in [67,68] for the construc-
tion of an optimal conformal mapping, which is devised
with the notion of accelerating the convergence of per-
turbative quantum chromodynamics.
The current investigation illustrates the utility of re-summation methods in those cases where perturbation
theory breaks down at large coupling. As explained in
Sec. V, even in situations where the perturbation series
diverges strongly, it can still be used to obtain meaningful
physical results if it is combined with a suitable resum-
mation method. In a relatively weak field, it is possible to
obtain more accurate numerical results by resummation
than by optimal truncation of the perturbation series (see
also [20]). In a strong field, it is possible to obtain phys-
ically correct results by resummation even though the
perturbation series diverges strongly (see the discussion
in Sec. V and the data in Tables I and II). By resumma-
tion, the perturbation series which is inherently a weak-
coupling expansion can be given a physical interpretation
even in situations where the coupling is large. In the
application discussed here (LoSurdo–Stark energy shift),
the contour-improved resummation methods introduced
in Secs. III and IV provide results which are in agreement
with theoretical data presented in [33,46,52,54].

APPENDIX: DIVERGENT PERTURBATION
SERIES IN QUANTUM FIELD THEORY
We briefly indicate some aspects of certain divergent
perturbation series in quantum field theory, in particular
the quantum electrodynamic (QED) effective action and
the associated pair–production amplitude for electron–
positron pairs. We use natural units in which the re-
duced Planck’s constant, the permittivity of the vacuum
and the speed of light (in field-free vacuum) assume the
value of unity (¯ h=ǫ0=c= 1). The one-loop QED effec-
tive action for an arbitrary electric and magnetic field per
space-time volume reads [this result can be found e.g. in
Eq. (4-123) in [89], upon inclusion of an additional coun-
terterm; or [95]]

It is perhaps interesting to note that the electric-
magnetic duality (invariance under the transformation
a→ −ib,b→ia) immediately follows from the compact,
one-dimensional integral representation for the effective
action given in Eq. (A1). The particular cases of a pure
magnetic and a pure electric field are of some interest,
because they can be used as model series for divergent
alternating and nonalternating asymptotic perturbation
series [8,9,20,76]. In the case of a pure magnetic field
B=|B|, the result reads [see e.g. Eq. (5) in [9]]

[Eq. (7) of [20] and the expression before Eq. (10) of [9]
contain typographical errors]. We take the opportunity
to supplement the proportionality factor for the expres-
sion in Eq. (7) of [20] to yield the effective action per
space-time volume element; it reads e2E2/(8π2). As evi-
dent from the Eq. (A3), the integration of the Borel–Pad´ e
transform for the electric field case should be carried out
along the contour C+1shown here in Fig. 1. When this
contour is used, then a sign change results for the imag-
inary contributions in Table 1 of [20] (the sign change
of the imaginary part according to the choice of the in-
tegration contour has been discussed at length in [20]).
The magnitude of the imaginary part yields the pair-
production amplitude. The contour C+1is used in the
current investigation (and in the context of the relatedbrief discussion in [20]) for the calculation of nonper-
turbative imaginary effects, i.e. the autoionization decay
width of atomic states (LoSurdo–Stark effect).
The divergent asymptotic perturbation series for the
cases of the magnetic and electric field, generated by ex-
pansion of the results in Eqs. (A2) and (A3), can be found
in Eqs. (6) and (7) of [9] ( B–field, alternating series cou-
pling parameter gB=e2B2/m4
e) and in Eqs. (8) and (9)
of [20] ( E–field, nonalternating series, coupling param-
etergE=e2E2/m4
e). The singularity structure of the
Borel transform of the series for the magnetic field case
has been discussed in some detail in [76]. The pertur-
bation series for the LoSurdo–Stark effect contains both
nonalternating and alternating components so that its re-
summation represents a comparatively more interesting
task. The same applies to the more complex perturbation
series calculated in [94] for the renormalization group γ
function, whose resummation – at strong coupling – has
been discussed in [73,94]. In this particular case, there
is no imaginary part involved, and the integration of the
Borel–Pad´ e transform proceeds along the contour C0in-
troduced in [73].

Abstract: In this paper we propose a Bayesian, information theoretic a p-
proach to dimensionality reduction. The approach is formul ated as a varia-

of sufficiency, relevance, and representation. Maximally in formative statistics
are shown to minimize a Kullback-Leibler distance between p osterior distri-
butions. Illustrating the approach, we derive the maximall y informative one
dimensional statistic for a random sample from the Cauchy di stribution.
Keywords: Bayesian Inference; Kullback-Leibler distance; Maximall y in-

1 Introduction
Dimensionality reduction is a fundamental goal of statisti cal science. In a
modeling context, this is often facilitated by estimating a low dimensional
quantity of interest. For example, suppose the quantities o f interest are the
labels of a classification of photographs of objects; of tree s, children, etc.
The data are the photographs, and the goal is to infer which of the several
classes have been presented. In this case the data space ofte n has dimension
on the order of >106, while the parameter space is a small discrete set of
labels each having much lower dimension. A low dimensional s ummary of
the photograph is then obtained as the estimate of the classi fication of the
photograph.
In this paper, we propose a novel fully Bayesian information theoretic
approach to dimensionality reduction, based on maximizing the mutual in-
formation between a statistic and a quantity of interest. Th e approach is for-
mulated as a variational principle on mutual information, a nd it seamlessly
addresses the notions of sufficiency, relevance, and represe ntation. We refer
to statistics which maximize this mutual information as maximally informa-
tive(MI) statistics. Such statistics are shown to minimize a Kul lback-Leibler
distance between posterior distributions.
The mutual information between a statistic and a quantity of interest
is defined in section 2. The mutual information based variati onal principle
for MI statistics is utilized in section 3 to derive non-vari ational derivative
forms of the principle. In section 4 several properties of MI statistics are
derived. The important result of this section is that MI stat istics provide
a generalization of the notion of sufficiency, because they ar e sensible both
when they are not sufficient statistics, and when lower-than- data-dimension
sufficient statistics do not exist. In section 5 we present the result that
in inference the Kullback-Leibler (KL) distance is properl y a functional of
posterior distributions. There we find MI statistics at func tional minima of
a KL distance based on posterior distributions of the parame ter of interest.
The arguments made here suggest that the KL distance derived here is to
be preferred to a maximum relative entropy distance, a fact w hich is not
discussed in, for example, Kullback [3] or Shor [5], and nume rous others. In
section 6 the MI static for the location parameter of the univ ariate Gaussian
distribution is derived, and shown to be the expected result , since in this
case a one-dimensional sufficient statistic exists. In secti on 7 we find a one-Maximally Informative Statistics 3
dimensional MI statistic for the Cauchy distribution, wher e a sufficiency
reduction does not exist. In section 8 we discuss approximat ing the posterior
distribution as a Gaussian and apply this technique to show t hat the MI
statistics are then Bayes’ estimators of the mean and standa rd deviation. In
that section a contrast of the approximate MI inference appr oach with the
Maximum Entropy method is made, and it is shown that although they agree
for Gaussian likelihoods, they disagree for other distribu tions, with simplicity
arguing in favor of the MI statistics.

from the parameter space Θ into some Q,ξQ(·) : Θ→Q. It will be useful
to use the Dirac delta-function δ(·) to represent the distribution of qas
P(q|θ) := P({θ:q=ξQ(θ)} |θ)
=δ(q−ξQ(θ)) (2)
= Πkq
i=1δ(qi−ξQ,i(θ)), (3)
where δ(z(·)) = Π iδ(zi(·)). Note that (2) may be seen directly by using
Bayes’ theorem to expand P(q,θ) asP(q|θ)P(θ), integrating that over q,
which must produce P(θ), and noting that because the support of P(q|θ)
is the unique qsuch that q=ξQ(θ) (θis specified), P(q|θ) must therefore
be the Dirac delta function. The distribution of qgiven the data x, may be
written using (1) and (3) as
P(q|x) =/integraldisplay
P(q|θ)P(θ|x)dθ (4)Maximally Informative Statistics 4
A statistic r=ξR(x) will be a function of x, a mapping from the data
space Xinto some R,ξR(·) :X→R. Again using the delta notation, the
distribution of the statistic given data is
P(r|x) = δ(r−ξR(x)) (5)
= Πkr
i=1δ(ri−ξR,i(x)) (6)
The joint distribution of the statistic rand the quantity of interest q, con-
ditioned on the data xis
P(r,q|x) =P(r|x)P(q|x) (7)
(since r=ξR(x) is specified once xis known, making P(r|x,q) =P(r|
x)), and the unconditional joint distribution is
P(r,q) =/integraldisplay
P(r|x)P(q|x)P(x)dx. (8)
Finally, we define the mutual information between a statisti cξR(·) and a
quantity of interest ξQ(·) as
M(ξR(·),ξQ(·)) =/integraldisplay /integraldisplay
P(r,q)log/parenleftBiggP(r,q)
P(r)P(q)/parenrightBigg
dqdr (9)
This mutual information is the Kullback-Leibler distance b etween the joint
distribution P(r,q) and the marginal product P(r)P(q) corresponding to
independence between randq. Note that this Kullback-Leibler distance is
different from the Kullback-Leibler distance mentioned in t he introduction
(and seen later in section 5). A major contribution of this pa per is the
demonstration of how these two Kullback-Leibler distances are related.
3 MI Statistics and the Variational Principle
We now define the maximally informative (MI) statistic.
LetS={ξR(·)}be a set of statistics under consideration. A MI
statistic for a quantity of interest ξQ(·)is any statistic ξR(·)from
Smaximizing the mutual information M(ξR(·),ξQ(·))between the
statistic and the quantity of interest.Maximally Informative Statistics 5
The following variational principle can be used to obtain an MI statistic.
Letδ
δf(·)denote the functional derivative with respect to f(·).
Choose ξR(·)fromSsuch thatδM(ξR(·),ξQ(·))
δξR(·)= 0andδ2M(ξR(·),ξQ(·))
δξR(·)2
is negative semidefinite, i.e. so that ξR(·)maximizes the informa-
tion between itself and ξQ(·), the quantity of interest. If possible,
choose the global maximum.
Note that MI statistics in Smay occur on the boundary of S. This
may be a case of interest, which occurs when constraints are i mposed on the
statistics, and may be handled with a trivial modification. N ote also that
the space Sof statistics may be constrained to contain only low-dimens ional
statistics, in order to force a dimesionality reduction of t he data.
We now demonstrate the variational principle for MI statist ics. The ar-
gument proceeds by varying (see, for example [1] for the vari ational calculus)
the mutual information of (9) with respect to the statistic f unction ξR(·) of
dimension kr, i.e.ξR(·) = (ξr,1(·), . . ., ξ r,kr(·)). We now proceed to substitute
ξR(x) =ξ0
R(x) +ǫη(x) in (9), and take the derivative with respect to ǫ.
Assuming appropriate regularity conditions, we have
∂ǫM(ξR(·),ξQ(·)) =/integraldisplay /integraldisplay/bracketleftBigg

where simplification from (10) to (11) occurs because probab ility is conserved.
Utilizing (7) we find
P(r,q) =/integraldisplay
δ(r−ξR(x))P(q|x)P(x)dx (12)
Taking the derivative of (12) with respect to ǫyields

Note that because ηis arbitrary, we may choose it to simplify as needed.
We proceed by considering krchoices of η. Label the choices by m∈
{1, . . ., k r}, and on choice mtake the components of ηas follows:
ηℓ(x) = δ(x−xc),(ℓ=m) (14)
ηℓ(x) = 0 ,(ℓ∝ne}ationslash=m) (15)
where xcis any data point we may choose. The condition that the mutual
information is extremal then becomes the statement that for allxcandi∈

tives). The form from which the theorems of the next section a re proven, is
found by rewriting (18) as

4 MI Statistics and Sufficiency
Now we prove several important properties concerning MI sta tistics. The
first property is the intuitively obvious property that data is a MI statistic .
The second property is that any sufficient statistic is a MI statistic . Finally,
we note that MI statistics are not necessarily sufficient statistics .Maximally Informative Statistics 7
Theorem 1 .Any 1–1 function of data is a MI statistic of the
quantity of interest
Proof: Let ξR(·) be the identity so that ξR(x) =xin (19). The
fraction in that equation is then 1, and the derivative integ rates
to zero because probability is conserved. Having ξR(x) any in-
vertible function changes nothing as any value of it determi nes
x.
Theorem 2 .Any sufficient statistic for the quantity of interest
is a MI statistic of the quantity of interest
Proof: Note that, using the definition of ξR(x) being a sufficient
statistic, the ratio in (19) is one - the posterior distribut ion of the
quantity of interest given the data xis the same as the posterior
distribution of the quantity of interest given the sufficient statistic
ξR(x). The derivative then integrates to zero because probabili ty
is conserved.
(Note that in both Theorems 1 and 2 the Hessian condition of th e MI
inference variational principle is easily established sin ce then the extremum
of the mutual information is easily seen to be a local maximum . Otherwise,
one must check convexity.)
Although it is true that any sufficient statistic is a MI statis tic, the con-
verse is false. In problems (of data dimension greater than o ne) where a
lower-than-data dimension sufficient statistic does not exi st, there will exist
a lower-than-data dimension statistic which is MI but not su fficient. Thus,
the class of maximally informative statistics contains the sufficient statistics,
but is broader. MI statistics need not provide all of the avai lable information
about the underlying quantity of interest. For example, as w e show in Sec-
tion 7, such a lower-than-data dimension MI statistic can be obtained for the
Cauchy distribution where a lower-than-data dimension suffi cient statistic is
a-priori unavailable. In this manner, MI statistics seamle ssly address rele-
vance to the consumer of the information because it is about some relevant
quantity of interest that MI statistics are maximally informative.Maximally Informative Statistics 8

P(q|x)log/parenleftBiggP(q|x)

|r=ξR(x)= 0 (20)
which, along with the curvature condition, states that
Theorem 3 .The Kullback-Leibler distance between the posterior
distribution conditioned on the statistic and the posterio r distri-
bution conditioned on the data is minimized by a MI statistic .
Again, note that MI statistics for the quantity of interest a re generally not
sufficient statistics for the quantity of interest. Indeed, r ather than making
the Kullback-Leibler distance zero, as in the case of sufficie nt statistics, MI
statistics are found at local minima of the Kullback-Lieble r distance - viewed
as a functional of the statistic. This demonstrates how the a pproach of this
paper generalizes that performed by Lindley [4].
6 MI Statistics for the Gaussian distribution
This section details the inference of the one-dimensional M I statistic for the
one-dimensional Gaussian distribution. We take the positi on parameter of
the Gaussian to be q, and the the goal is to find ξR(x) so that (19) holds.
From there note that the calculation of P(q|r) and P(q|x) is necessary,
and by Bayes’ theorem therefore it is necessary to find P(r|q), which may
be written as
P(r|q) =/integraldisplay

Finally, inserting this result into Bayes’ theorem with uni form prior to find
the posterior distribution of qconditioned on ryields
P(q|r) =S φ(0, σ′)(r−N/summationdisplay
i=1λiq) (25)
where S:=/summationtextN
i=1λi.
The calculation for P(q|x) is similar with the result is that
P(q|x) =φ(x,σ√

where x:=1

i=1xi. From the forms of (25) and (26) it is clear that
not only will the integrand of (20) (that equation equivalen t to (19)) be
minimized, but that it will be zero, if all λi= 1/Nis chosen. This of course
is the expected result since ξR(x) =/summationtextN
i=1xi/Nis a sufficient statistic for q
when σis known.
Alternatively, to satisfy that the calculation indicated i n (19) is successful
at finding the expected result, continue by taking (25) and (2 6) and substi-
tuting them into (19) to find after some simplification the equ ation which
must be satisfied by ξR

This has the unique solution ξR(x) =xwhen the arbitrary scale of the
inferred statistic is fixed by setting 1 =/summationtextN
i=1λi. To conclude this section,
the procedure culminating in (20) or (19) of finding MI statis tics has been
shown to produce the expected known result for the Gaussian c ase. The
next section approaches the Cauchy distribution case for lo wer than data
dimension statistics, where there is no sufficient statistic available and the
result is novel.
7 MI Statistics for the Cauchy Distribution
This section outlines the inference of the one-dimensional MI statistic for
the one dimensional Cauchy distribution. The detailed step s may be taken
similarly to those of the last section but taking the Cauchy d istribution
instead of the Gaussian distribution. Take the position par ameter of the
Cauchy to be q, and the the goal is to find ξR(x) so that (19) holds. As
in the last section it is necessary to determine both P(q|r) and P(q|x).
Assuming the same ansatz that ξR(x) =/summationtext
iλixi, the necessary convolutions
may be carried out with the use of the Fourier convolution the orem, with the
results that
P(r|q) =S
π(S2+ (r−qS)2), (28)
P(q|r) =S

Rewriting this equation in more suggestive terms, while tak ing the scale
S= 1, gives the result as an implicit equation for ξR(x),
ξR(x) =/integraldisplay
q P(q|(x, ξR(x)) )dq. (32)Maximally Informative Statistics 11
The form of the result (32) says that ξR(x) is the posterior mean of qgiven
the data and itself as an additional observation . This form also suggests
thatξR(x) could be the posterior mean of qgiven the data. However, this
is not the case, as a check using the posterior moment forms de rived in [6]
immediately shows. Further, assuming a value for ξR(x) on the right-hand
side of (32) allows that to be computed in closed form using th e results
of [6]. This finally yields that the left-hand side is a ration al function of
the right-hand side, a fixed point equation which may be solve d by standard
iterative methods. Other checks immediately show that the s olution is not
the maximum likelihood solution, nor the median.
To conclude this section, the one-dimensional MI statistic for the Cauchy
distribution position parameter has been found as the poste rior mean of the
position parameter of the Cauchy distribution given the dat a and the MI
statistic, and this statistic is different from the Bayes’ es timator which is the
posterior mean given the data only.
8 Approximate MI Inference and Bayes Estimators
In many cases of interest, if not in all cases of relevance wit h high dimensional
data, the convolutions that appear similarly to those in (28 ) etc. will be quite
impossible to do in closed form, and probably in a practical s ense will even
be numerically intractable. However, there is an approach t hat may be taken
which does some harm to a fully rigorous Bayesian approach, b ut which may
be necessary. The idea that is applicable in these cases of di fficulty is to
directly take P(q|r) in (20) to be Gaussian with parameters r=ξR(x)=
(µ(x), σ(x)). The approximate MI approach just outlined is applied bel ow
to finding the approximate MI statistics ( µ(x), σ(x)). The approximate
MI approach is then contrasted with an alternative approach using the KL
distance inverted from that of (20), one that resembles Maxi mum Entropy
inference. The rusults of this section hold for any likeliho od, as will become
apparent.
Take an arbitrary one-dimensional parameterized likeliho od parameter-
ized by q(i.e. with qthe parameter of interest). Parameterize the inferred
distribution P(q|r) of (20) as (see (24))
P(q|r= (µ, σ)) =φ(µ, σ)(q). (33)Maximally Informative Statistics 12
Equations (20) and (33) imply that the MI statistic is
µ=/integraldisplay
q P(q|x)dq
σ2=/integraldisplay
(q−µ)2P(q|x)dq (34)
These quantities are the Bayes’ estimators for the mean and s tandard devi-
ation of the distribution.
If, on the other hand, the inverted form of the KL distance is t aken, as
it often is in many of the cases we have observed, the statisti cµis
µ=/integraltextq φ(µ, σ)(q)log(P(q|x))dq/integraltextφ(µ, σ)(q)log(P(q|x))dq(35)
which, along with another non-linear equation for σ, is a complicated non-
linear system to be solved for r= (µ, σ).
Note that when the likelihood P(x|q) is Gaussian these two approxi-
mate approaches produce the same statistic, the posterior m ean and standard
deviation; but for the Cauchy likelihood, for example, this is not the case,
with necessity to solve the complicated nonlinear system. I n contrast, the
approximate MI inference technique always produces the pos terior Bayes’
moment estimators.
The difference between the forms of the approximate MI statis tics and
the inverted-KL statistics appearing in (34) and (35) respe ctively makes it
clear that one needs a good first-principles approach to the K L distance.
9 Conclusion
We have formulated the mutual information based variationa l principle for
statistical inference, a fully Bayesian approach to infere nce, defined MI statis-
tics for a quantity of interest, shown how the principle may b e reformulated
as a minimal KL distance principle based on posterior distri butions, and
demonstrated how inference proceeds, when lower-than-dat a dimension suf-
ficient statistics are absent, using the Cauchy distributio n. Finally, an ap-
proximate approach to the inference of MI statistics was dis cussed, and the
relationship of the resulting statistics to Bayes’ estimat ors and the Maximum
Entropy version of the same approximation was noted.Maximally Informative Statistics 13

We studied the hydration of a single methanol molecule
in aqueous solution by first-principle DFT-based molecular
dynamics simulation. The calculations show that the local
structural and short-time dynamical properties of the wa-
ter molecules remain almost unchanged by the presence of
the methanol, confirming the observation from recent exper-
imental structural data for dilute solutions. We also see, i n
accordance with this experimental work, a distinct shell of
water molecules that consists of about 15 molecules. We
found no evidence for a strong tangential ordering of the wat er
molecules in the first hydration shell.
INTRODUCTION
The solvation of alcohols in water has been studied
extensively. [1] It is of fundamental interest in physics,
chemistry and biology, but also of importance in technical
applications. The characteristic hydroxyl group allows
alcohols to form hydrogen bonds and is responsible for
the good solubility of the smaller alcohols. In contrast,
the alkyl group is hydrophobic and does not participate
in the hydrogen bonding network of water. The presence
of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups make the
microscopic picture of solvation of alcohol in water a non-
trivial and therefore interesting matter.
Understanding the solvation of methanol in water is
a prerequisite for the study of chemistry of alcohols in
aqueous solution. Important examples of such reactions
are the conversion of ethanol into acetaldehyde in biolog-
ical systems or the industrial ethanol production by acid-
catalysed hydration of ethylene. An accurate microscopic
understanding of the mechanism and kinetics of such re-
actions is of fundamental interest. However, presently,
this picture is still far from complete. Density Functional
Theory (DFT) based Molecular Dynamics simulation has
proved to be a promising tool provide such an insight. An
accurate calculation of the chemical bonding is incorpo-
rated via a DFT-based electronic structure calculations.
The effect of temperature and solvent on the reactive
events is implicitly accounted for via the Molecular Dy-
namics technique. The implementation of DFT-based
MD as proposed by Car and Parrinello [2] has proven to
be extremely efficient. It has successfully been applied
to study of a large variety of condensed-phase systems
at finite temperature. Applications to chemical reactions
include the cat-ionic polymerization of 1,2,5-trioxane [3 ],
or the acid-catalysed hydration of formaldehyde [4].
As a first step towards the study of chemical reac-
tions involving alcohols we present in this paper a Car-
Parrinello Molecular Dynamics (CPMD) study of the hy-
dration of the simplest alcohol (methanol) in aqueoussolution. Recent experimental work [5] has provided de-
tailed structural information on the solvation shell. Var-
ious molecular simulation studies (e.g. Ref. [6–10] have
addressed structure and dynamics of both the solute and
the solvent. This experimental and numerical work has
revealed that there is a distinct solvation shell around
the methanol, and that the water structure is little af-
fected by the presence of a methanol molecule. In this
paper we will address these structural properties and in
addition consider the dynamics of the methanol and the
water molecules in the solvation shell.
This paper is organized as follows. First we outline
the computational approach and its validation. Then we
present the results for the structure and dynamics of a
single solvated methanol in water. We conclude the paper
with a summary and discussion.
METHODS AND VALIDATION
Electronic structure calculations are performed using
the Kohn-Sham formulation [11] of DFT. [12] We em-
ployed the BLYP functional, that combines a gradient-
corrected term for the correlation energy as proposed by
Lee, Yang and Parr [14] with the gradient correction for
the exchange energy due to Becke [13]. Among the avail-
able functionals, the BLYP functional has proven to give
the best description of the structure and dynamics of wa-
ter. [15,16] All calculations [17] were performed using the
CPMD package. [18]
The pseudopotential method is used to restrict the
number of electronic states to those of the valence elec-
trons. The interaction with the core electrons is taken
into account using semi-local norm-conserving Martins-
Troullier pseudopotentials. [19] The pseudopotential cut -
off radius for the H was chosen 0.50 au. For O and C
the radii are taken 1.11 and 1.23 a.u. for both the l=s
and l=p term. The Kohn-Sham states are expanded in a
plane-wave basis set matching the periodicity of the peri-
odic box with waves up to a kinetic energy of 70 Ry. Test
calculations showed that for this structural and energetic
properties were converged within 0 .01˚A and 1 kJ/mol,
respectively. Frequencies are converged within 1 %, ex-
pect for CO and OH stretch modes that are underesti-
mated by 3 % and 5 % compared to basis-set limit values.
To validate the computational methods outlined above
we performed a series of reference calculations of rel-
evant gas-phase compounds with the CPMD package.
Energetics and geometry were calculated for methanol,
water, two mono-hydrate configurations, and the di-
1hydrate configuration shown in Fig. 1. These calcula-
tions were performed using a a large periodic box of
size 10x10x10 ˚A3. The interactions among the periodic
images were eliminated by a screening technique sim-
ilar to that of Ref. [20]. In addition we determined
for the methanol molecule both the harmonic vibra-
tional frequencies and the frequencies at finite temper-
ature (T= 200 K). The latter includes the anharmonic
contributions, and were obtained from the spectrum of
the velocity auto correlation function (VACF) of a 3 ps
CPMD calculation at E= 200 K. The calculated peak po-
sitions can be compared with experimental spectra. Re-
sults of the gas-phase calculations were compared with
results obtained with a state-of-the-art atomic-orbital
based DFT package (ADF [21]), and with results from
MP2 calculations of Ref. [22]. In the comparison of the
energies zero-point energies were not taken into account.

FIG. 1. Energy-optimized geometries of
two water /methanol dimers and a trimer. Distances ( ˚A) and
angles (degrees) are shown for three computational methods :
CPMD-BLYP (top, present work), ADF-BLYP [21] (middle,
present work) and MP2 [22] (bottom).
Complexation energies and geometries of the methanol
hydrates are given in Tab. I and Fig. 1. Deviations among
CPMD and ADF are within 1 kcal/mole for the energies,
smaller than 0 .005˚A for the inter-molecular bonds and
within 0 .03˚A for the weaker intra-molecular bonds. This
indicates a state-of-the art accuracy for electronic struc -
ture methods employed in CPMD. Differences among
BLYP and MP2 are within acceptable limits, with BLYP
complexation energies smaller by 4 kJ/mole (dimer) and
10 kJ/mole (trimer). These deviations are similar to the
comparison of BLYP and MP2 for the water dimer bind-
ing energy, [15,23] where BLYP is 4 kJ/mole smaller,
with the MP2 energy only 1 kJ/mol below the experi-
mental value. Assuming similar differences for the com-plexation energies bonds in the methanol hydrates would
suggest that BLYP underestimates the methanol-water
binding energy by approximately 5 kJ/mol. Inter- and
intra-molecular BLYP bond lengths are up to 0 .02 and
0.06˚A longer compared to the MP2 results, respectively.

Vibrational frequencies are listed in Tab. II. Again
comparison of CPMD and ADF is excellent, consis-
tent with the results for the energetics and geometries.
Comparing the calculated finite-temperature frequencies
against the experimental values shows that BLYP tends
to underestimate the frequencies of almost all modes by
≈10 %. This trend is a known feature of BLYP. For
example similar deviations are observed for BLYP calcu-
lation of water. [15]
Overall we conclude that the reference calculations of
gas-phase provides confidence that DFT-BLYP performs
with a sufficient accuracy for a quantitative study of
methanol hydration.

2SOLVATION
We performed Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics
simulations of the solvation of a single methanol
molecule. We considered two systems: one with 31 water
molecules and the other with 63 water molecules, yield-
ing methanol-water solutions with mole ratios of 1:31
and 1:63. In the following they are referred to as the
small and large system, respectively. For reference we
also performed a simulation of a pure water sample of
32 molecules. The molecules are placed in a periodic cu-
bic box with edges of 9.98 ˚A (small solvated methanol
system), 12.50 ˚A (large solvated methanol system), and
9.86˚A(pure water) corresponding to the experimental
densities at ambient conditions. The temperature of the
ions is fixed at 300 K using a Nos´ e-Hoover thermostat
[24–26]. The fictitious mass associated with the plane-
wave coefficients is chosen at 900 a.u., which allowed for
a time step in the numerical integration of the equations-
of-motion of 0.145 fs. The two systems were equilibrated
for 1 ps from an initial configuration obtained by a force-
field simulation. Subsequently we gathered statistical av-
erages from a 10 ps trajectory of the 31+1 molecule sys-
tem, from a 7 ps trajectory of the 63+1 molecule system,
and from a 10 ps trajectory of the pure water system.
Structure
In Fig. 2 we have plotted the radial distribution func-
tions (RDF) of the water oxygen atoms. The minor vari-
ations among the RDF’s of the small methanol system,
the large methanol system, and the pure water system
is an indication that the local water structure, as mea-
sured by this RDF, is at only marginally changed by the
solvation of a methanol molecule. Note, in this respect,
that for the 32 molecule the first solvation shell consti-
tutes a significant fraction of the total number of water
molecules (see below).

gen-oxygen (bottom) radial distribution functions for the
small (solid line) and large (dashed line) methanol system.
Fig. 2 also shows the RDF of the methanol carbon and
water oxygens for the small and large methanol system.
A pronounced first peak clearly indicates the existence ofshell of water molecules at a distance of ≈3.7˚A. Com-
paring the RDF’s of the small and large system shows
a noticeable difference. This should be attributed to
the limited size of the small system. It suggests that
a proper description of the solvation structure of a single
methanol in a cubic periodic simulation box requires at
least 50 water molecules. Integrating the RDF for the
large system up to the minimum at r= 5.0˚A yields 16
water molecules in the first solvation shell. The definite
solvation shell observed in our simulations is consistent
with the neutron diffraction data of Soper and Finney [5]
who studied a 1:9 molar methanol-water system. Differ-
ences in molarity limits a quantitative comparison of the
carbon-oxygen RDF, but a qualitative comparison learns
that peak positions match with the peak values slightly
more pronounced in the simulation results.
To analyze the orientational ordering of the water
molecules around the methanol we computed the distri-
bution function of the angle between the C-O H2Obond
vector and the normal to the plane of the water molecules
in the first solvation shell. The results show that angle
distribution is relatively uniform with a small tendency
towards the tangential orientation, a feature occurs for al l
solvation shell radii in the range of 3.7-5.0 ˚A. Over the
range of 0o-90othe distribution gradually decays, with
the value at the tangential orientation (0o) about a factor
of 2 larger than at the perpendicular orientation (90o).
Qualitatively, this seems consistent with data for the ori-
entational distribution obtained from neutron-diffractio n
data [5]. However from this experimental data it is con-
cluded that the water molecules prefer to lie tangential
and form a cage around the methanol. Our data do not
give clear evidence for a cage-like structure. However,
this might be a different interpretation from similar data.
Note, in this respect, also that the experimental data can-
not be quantitatively compared to our data, as different
orientational distribution functions are employed.
To analyze the hydrogen bonding we adopted the def-
inition of Ref. [7]: two molecules are hydrogen bonded
if simultaneously the inter-oxygen distance is less than
3.5˚Aand the OHO angle is smaller than 30o. From
the simulation of the large system we found that the
methanol hydroxyl group donates and accepts on average
0.9 and 1.5 hydrogen bonds, respectively. For a water
molecule these numbers are equal and measured to be
1.7 in the simulation of the pure water sample. These
results indicate that the methanol hydroxyl group par-
ticipates strongly in the hydrogen bonding network with
the a donating behavior similar to water hydrogen and a
accepting character somewhat smaller than a water oxy-
gen.
Dynamics
The time scale (7-10 ps) of the present simulations al-
lows for a reliable analysis of dynamical properties oc-
curring on the picosecond time scale.
3The velocity auto correlation function (VACF) of the
hydrogen atoms provides an important measure of hy-
drogen bonding. Fig. 3 shows the Fourier spectrum
of the calculated VACF of hydrogen atoms of the wa-
ter molecules in the small and large methanol sample.
The three distinct peaks correspond to the vibrational
(3100 cm−1), bending (1600 cm−1), and librational-
translational (500 cm−1) modes of the water molecules.
The most important observation is that mutual compar-
ison of the two methanol samples and the comparison of
these with the spectrum of the pure water sample (also
plotted) shows no significant difference, not even for the
small methanol sample where the solvation shell consti-
tutes half of the water molecules in the system. This
demonstrates that also the short-time dynamics of the
water molecules is hardly affected by the solvation of a
methanol molecule.

function of the hydrogen atom of the methanol hydroxyl group

An indication for the average residence time of a water
molecule in the first solvation shell is obtained by moni-
toring the trajectories of the individual water molecules.
We found that in the large methanol system over 7 ps
10 water molecules left the region within 5 ˚A from the
methanol carbon. From this we estimate the average res-
idence time to be of the order of a few picoseconds.
Fig. 3 shows the Fourier spectrum of the VACF of the
hydroxyl H of methanol obtained from the trajectory of
the large system. The spectrum is of limited accuracy
due to the relatively short trajectories (7 ps). For com-
parison, the calculated spectrum for a single methanol
molecule at T= 200 Kis also plotted. In solution the
OH stretch ( νOH) peak, with a calculated gas-phase po-
sition of about 3300 cm−1, has shifted by ≈200 cm−1to
lower frequencies and has a relatively large width. The
shift and width are both typical characteristics of a hy-
drogen bond and are also observed in the water spec-trum (Fig. 3). In contrast to the OH stretch mode, we
see that the OH-bending mode ( δOHat 1300 cm−1) is
blue-shifted by an amount of 50-100−1. A comparison
with experimental frequency shifts in infrared spectra is
limited as, to our knowledge, no experimental data for
dilute methanol-water solutions are reported. However,
a comparison with measured shifts in liquid methanol
[27] shows similar trends for the shift of infrared stretch
(-354 cm−1) and bend (+78 cm−1) peaks. The torsional
mode ( τOH), expected to be shifted upward to around
600 cm−1, is not visible in our calculated spectra due to
the large statistical errors.
DISCUSSION
We have studied the solvation of a single methanol
molecule in water using DFT-based Car-Parrinello
molecular dynamics simulation. Validation of the ap-
proach showed that energetics, structural, and dynam-
ical properties of reference gas-phase compounds were
sufficient to expect a quantitative accuracy of calculated
properties.
The calculated solvation structure supports the exper-
imental observation [5] that a shell of about 15 water
molecules is formed around the methanol. Structural
analysis also learns that the hydrogen bonded network
of water is only minimally distorted by the presence of
the methanol molecule. This confirms the proposition
of Soper et al. [5] that speculations that the normal wa-
ter structure is significantly enhanced by the hydropho-
bic alkyl group is groundless. The calculations showed
that methanol OH group is strongly involved in hydro-
gen bonding, both as acceptor and as donor. Analysis
of the dynamics learns that the average residence time
of a water molecule in the first solvation shell is of the
order of a few picoseconds. The vibrational spectrum of
the water molecules is hardly changed by the presence
of the methanol, indicating that the short-time dynam-
ics is hardly affected by the presence of the methanol
molecule. Vibrational analysis shows that methanol OH-
stretch peak is a broad feature that is significantly red-
shifted upon solvation, confirming its hydrogen-bonding
character.
In conclusion, from comparison with available exper-
imental data we have shown that first-principle DFT-
based molecular dynamics simulation provides a reason-
able accurate description of the structure and dynamics
of a dilute aqueous methanol solution. This opens the
way towards the study of chemistry involving methanol
and larger alcohols in water.

Abstract. We study limits for the detection and estimation of weak sinu soidal
signals in the primary part of the mammalian auditory system using a stochastic
Fitzhugh-Nagumo (FHN) model and an action-reaction model f or synaptic plasticity.
Our overall model covers the chain from a hair cell to a point j ust after the synaptic
connection with a cell in the cochlear nucleus. The informat ion processing perfor-
mance of the system is evaluated using so called φ-divergences from statistics which
quantify a dissimilarity between probability measures and are intimately related
to a number of fundamental limits in statistics and informat ion theory (IT). We
show that there exists a set of parameters that can optimize s everal important φ-
divergences simultaneously and that this set corresponds t o a constant quiescent
firing rate (QFR) of the spiral ganglion neuron. The optimal v alue of the QFR is
frequency dependent but is essentially independent of the a mplitude of the signal (for
small amplitudes). Consequently, optimal processing acco rding to several standard
IT criteria can be accomplished for this model if and only if t he parameters are
“tuned” to values that correspond to one and the same QFR. Thi s offers a new
explanation for the QFR and can provide new insight into the r ole played by several
other parameters of the peripheral auditory system.

1. Introduction
When a sensory cell in a mammal is presented with a stimulus, t he
information about it must in general be communicated throug h several
layers of intermediating nerve cells before it reaches the p arts of the
brain where the final processing takes place. A logical quest ion, there-
fore, is how much of the information is lost in the first parts o f this
processing chain and how have these parts of the chain have (p ossibly)
been optimized by evolution to combat information loss, for different
types of stimuli. One of the simplest settings of this proble m is the
auditory system. The frequency filtering process in the inne r ear makes
it sufficient in general, at least for weak signals, to restric t attention to
a single type of stimuli, a pure tone , when studying the response of the
auditory nerve cells and their connections in the cochlear n ucleus. From
an information-theoretic perspective it is thus of interes t to determine
how well the peripheral parts of the auditory processing cha in preserve

information about the two parameters, the amplitude and pha se, that
characterize a tone at a given frequency. An even more fundam ental
question, however, is how well information about the presen ce of such
a tone is preserved, i.e. in what ways this part of the auditor y processing
chain imposes limits on achievable detection performance. Mathemati-
cally, these two problems belong to the realm of statistical decision and
information theory (IT); for weak tones the detection probl em is, more-
over, intimately connected with the estimation problem of d etermining
the amplitude.
Despite the extensive literature on information processin g in neu-
rons, a relatively small number of works treat the fundament al statis-
tical limits for neural detection and estimation that bound the perfor-
mance of sensory systems. One notable exception, however, i s Stemm-
ler’s work (Stemmler, 1996) on the detection and estimation capabilities
of the Hodgkin-Huxley, McCullough-Pitts and leaky integra te-and-fire
model neurons in terms of the Fisher Information. Stemmler s hows
that there exists a universal small-signal scaling law whic h relates the
optimal detection, estimation, and communication perform ance of these
model neurons, and that this scaling law also applies to the ( narrow-
band) signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on the output of a neuron w hich is
excited by a sinusoidal signal. Manwani and Koch (Manwani an d Koch,
1999) give a detailed analysis of the noise in dendritic cabl e structures
and its effect on fundamental limits for detection and estima tion. In
particular, they provide relations for minimum mean-squar e error in
linear estimation and minimum probability of error (the lat ter under
an assumption of Gaussian noise) based on a stochastic versi on of the
linear one-dimensional cable equation. In the majority of o ther infor-
mation theoretic analyses of neural information processin g the focus
is on the spike train on the output of a neuron though, and a long-
standing objective has been to try to break the “neural code” of the
spike train. However, there is a fundamental component miss ing in
modeling that rests solely on considering information in th e spike train
and it is the influence of the synaptic connections . The importance of
this aspect of neural computation has recently been recogni zed and it
has even been suggested that the synaptic connections in fac t represent
the primary bottleneck that limits information transmissi on in neural
circuitry (Zador, 1998). Consequently, when studying info rmation pro-
cessing in neurons, in particular detection and estimation capabilities
of the auditory system, it seems imperative to consider mode ls and
methods that describe not only the individual neurons and th eir spike
trains but also the synaptic connections between the neuron s.
In the present study we investigate, theoretically, the fun damental
limits for detection and estimation of weak signals in the ma mmalian

auditory system. We model the neurons in the auditory nerve a nd their
synaptic connections using ideas from Tuckwell (Tuckwell, 1988) and
Kistler-Van Hemmen (Kistler and Van Hemmen, 1999) that take into
account the notion of synaptic plasticity . Incorporation of the synaptic
efficacy’s dependence on the prehistory of action potentials arriving to
the synapse in the model makes it possible to obtain a more rea listic
assessment of the information available to the next step in t he audi-
tory processing chain, the processing in the cochlear nucle us. Another
feature of our study is the use of more general measures of sig nal-noise
separation. To quantify signal-noise separation we use the so-called
φ-divergences from statistics and IT (Liese and Vajda, 1987) . The φ-
divergences are applicable to virtually any kind of signal a nd system
(in a stochastic setting), in particular the highly nonline ar dynamic
systems represented by neurons, and are intimately related to a number
of fundamental limits in statistics/IT. Our main objective is to deter-
mine whether the primary auditory system has a structure whe reby
(nontrivial) optimizations of φ-divergences with respect to parameters
can occur. Given the significance of the φ-divergences as performance
measures, an affirmative answer to this question would yield a new view
on the role played by various parameters in the neurons of the auditory
system, such as the quiescent firing rate (QFR), and would ins pire new
experiments relating to the function of the auditory proces sing chain.
We show that such optimizations indeed are possible, where s ome of the
underlying mechanisms are explained in terms of the model st ructure,
and we numerically determine the optimal values.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we describe ou r
model of the auditory system, in which the central component are the
Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations. This section also includes an i ntroduction
toφ-divergences and a review of their properties. The divergen ces are
computed in Section 3, and discussed in Section 4.
2. Methods
2.1.Physiological modeling
We consider the peripheral part of the mammalian auditory ne rvous
system (Geisler, 1998), beginning with the acoustic (fluid) pressure at
a point in the inner ear and ending at the soma of a cell in the co chlear
nucleus. As a model of the chain from the inner ear, via an inne r hair
cell and a spiral ganglion cell, to a point a small distance do wn the
ganglion axon we employ a stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model
(FitzHugh, 1961; Scott, 1975). This model, which we hencefo rth (with a
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.34
slight abuse of language) will call the FHN neuron, represen ts an attrac-
tive choice in our study for two reasons: It is analytically/ numerically
tractable and has the ability to produce a response that is bo th visually
and statistically similar to that observed in real neurons. In particu-
lar, it is well-known that even simple (white-noise driven) stochastic
FHN models are able to accurately reproduce the interspike i nterval
histograms (ISIH) in various forms of nerve fibers, such as th e auditory
nerve fibers of squirrel monkeys (Massanes and Vicente, 1999 ). For the
terminal boutonic connections of the auditory nerve with th e dendrites
(or soma) of the cells in the cochlear nucleus, together with the parts of
the dendrites from the boutonic connections to the somas, we employ
an action-reaction model combined with a time-varying α-function like
transformation with additive noise (Tuckwell, 1988; Kistl er and Van
Hemmen, 1999). The conjunction of these two model features m akes it
possible to capture both the synaptic plasticity and variab ility observed
in real neurons. Furthermore, incorporation of plasticity in the model
turns out to be of crucial importance for our results since it removes
“false optima” that would otherwise be present.
2.1.1. Stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo Model.
Thestochastic FHN model is given by the following system of stochastic
differential equations (Longtin, 1993)1
εdVt=Vt(Vt−a)(1−Vt)dt−Wtdt+dvt,
dWt= (Vt−δWt−(b+st))dt,, t∈[0,T],(1)
where ε,a,b,δ > 0 are (nonrandom) parameters, Vis the fast (“voltage
like”) variable, Wis the slow (“recovery like”) variable, and stis the
signal process representing the stimuli , here the acoustic pressure in
the inner ear. The parameter aeffectively controls the barrier height
between the two potential wells in the potential term (i.e., the first
term on the RHS of the first equation) and the variable bis a bias
parameter moderating the effect of the signal input. These tw o param-
eters affect the stability properties of the FHN neuron, and so does the
relaxation parameter δmultiplying the slow variable. The parameter ε
sets the time scale for the motion in the potential described by the first
equation. Normally, the variable Vis thought to represent membrane
voltage in the neuron but since the FHN model can be viewed as
obtained by “descent” from the higher dimensional Hodgkin- Huxley
model (or other likewise more elaborated models) it is not re asonable
to attach a too strict physical meaning to it. To us it will mer ely act

as a convenient way of modeling the timing information in the action
potentials generated by the neuron when the latter are define d via a
simple threshold operation on the fast variable V. The signal stis here
chosen to enter on the slow variable W, which controls the refractory
periods ofV, in order to facilitate a comparison with the qualitative
results for the corresponding deterministic dynamics in (A lexander et
al., 1990). However, it is easy to transform the system into a n equivalent
one (of the same form) where the signal enters on the fast vari able
(Alexander et al., 1990). The stochastic process vtis a noise process
accounting for the variability in firing pattern observed in real neurons,
which we in order to have control over the correlation time (L ongtin,
1993) take to be an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process
dvt=−λvtdt+σdξt, t∈[0,T], (2)
where λ >0 determines the effective correlation time and σ >0 is
the intensity of a standard Wiener process (integrated Gaus sian white
noise) ξ. We assume that all the input and intrinsic noise sources can
be collectively described by this process. This noise model is also often
used with λ= 0, so that vtbecomes a Wiener process, which has proved
sufficient to reproduce real data, see e.g. (Massanes and Vice nte, 1999).
An example of an output to the FHN neuron (1),(2) with sinusoi dal
signal and parameter values typical for the simulations is s hown in

2.1.2. Spike train.
An important underlying assumption in our model and, indeed , in most
rate-based treatments of neural dynamics, is that the intervals between
action potentials, not their particular form, in a given neu ron carry all
the information relevant to the subsequent neural processi ng by other
connected neurons. Accordingly, in the remaining parts of t he model
that describe how the output of the FHN neuron is processed we replace
the output of the FHN neuron by an equivalent random point pro cess
T={0< τ0< ... < τ k−1< τk< τk+1...≤T},
(the number of points in Tmay be finite or infinite) where τkis defined
by level crossings of the fast variable Vin the FHN model as
τk+1= inf{t > τ k:Vt> γandVs< γfor some τk≤s≤t}.
In other words, τk+1is the first time after τkfor an upcrossing over
the level γ(τ0is the first time for an upcrossing after t= 0), where
γis suitably chosen to represent an action potential level . The point
process Tthus contains the timing information in the nerve signals at
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.56
a point in the auditory nerve immediately after the ganglion cell and
will therefore be referred to as the spike train . Since the shapes and
relative positions of the action potentials are not appreci ably changed
as they propagate through the (myelinated) axons of the audi tory nerve
we assume that the process Talso represents the timing information
in the action potentials as they reach a terminal connection in the
telodendria of the ganglion cell.2
2.1.3. Synaptic connections.
The model for synaptic response is made up of two parts; a nomi nal (or
average) response and a variability from the nominal due to s ynaptic
plasticity (Koch, 1999, ch. 13).
For a synapse in a nominal state at an electrotonic distance x0from
the soma on a dendrite of some length L≥x0, the impulse response
r(“Green’s function”) for the transformation from action po tential
applied on the presynaptic side of the synapse to the voltage at the
soma can be modeled by an expansion of the form (Tuckwell, 198 8,
sec. 6.5)
r(t) =β∞/summationdisplay
n=0An(x0)
1 +λ2n−α/parenleftBig
te−αt−e−αt+e−t(1+λ2
n)
1 +λ2n−α/parenrightBig
, t≥0,(3)
(with uniform convergence) where r(t) = 0 for t <0. Expressions for
the constants An,λnin terms of L, and graphs showing the appearance
of (3) for typical values of these constants and α,β, are given in (Tuck-
well, 1988). In (3) it is assumed that the impulse response fr om action
potential to post-synaptic current at the soma is given by a s o-called
α-function of the form h(t) =βte−tαfort≥0 and h(t) = 0 for t <0
(Jack and Redman, 1971). From the definition of rit is clear that the
expression (3) actually describes both the synapse and a par t of the
dendrite (the part between the synapse and the soma), but sin ce the
response at a point down the dendrite is mainly determined by the
response of the synapse we shall, for simplicity, refer to rin (3) as the
nominal synaptic response .
The synaptic connections in the cochlear nucleus are often m ade
by synapses having a fair, or even a large amount, of release s ites,
such as the endbulb of Held , which is connected to spherical bushy
cells in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus (Webster et al. , 1992). As
a consequence, the synaptic transmission will be reliable i n the sense
that an incoming action potential will almost always yield a nexcita-

be neglected since it will be approximately 3-4% of the lengt hTof the observation
time interval in our examples.

tory postsynaptic potential (EPSP). However, the EPSPs will vary in
strength depending (primarily) on the prehistory of the act ion poten-
tials that have arrived at the synapse. This phenomenon, the synaptic
plasticity , has a crucial effect on the overall dynamical behavior of
the nerve and needs to be taken into account in conjunction wi th the
nominal response in (3). We model the plasticity using a simp le action-
recovery scheme developed by Kistler and Van Hemmen (Kistle r and
Van Hemmen, 1999) which combines the three state plasticity model of
Tsodyks and Markham (Tsodyks and Markham, 1997) and the spik e
response model of Gerstner and van Hemmen (Gerstner and Van H em-
men, 1992). The action-recovery scheme employs a variable Zand its
complement 1 −Zthat correspond to “active” and “inactive” resources ,
respectively, where the term “resources” can be interprete d as resources
on both the pre- and the postsynaptic side, such as the availa bility
of neurotransmitter substance or postsynaptic receptors. In addition,
resources can also be interpreted as some ionic concentrati on gradient,
e.g. the membrane potential on the postsynaptic side. This a pproach,
therefore, also compensates for the EPSPs’ dependence on th e voltage
of the following neuron’s soma. Quantitatively, the amount of available
resources are determined by the recursion (Kistler and Van H emmen,
1999)
Zτk+1= 1−[1−(1−R)Zτk]exp[−(τk+1−τk)/τ], (4)
where 0 < R≤1 is a constant corresponding to the fraction of resources
that gets inactive due to a spike and τ >0 is a decay time parameter.
The variable Zτkshould be interpreted as the amount of resources
available just before time τkand it is therefore proportional to the
strength in an eventual EPSP caused by an action potential ar riving to
the synapse at time τk. An approximation to the initial condition Zτ0
can be obtained by forming an average of the available resour ces for a
number of spike trains, generated by the unforced FHN model f or the
studied system, for a large T. Thus, by using the plasticity model above
we can calculate the pristine (or noise-free) postsynaptic response Ras

where ris the nominal response given in (3). This model is capable of
producing results in close agreement with real data (cf. (Ts odyks and
Markham, 1997)), provided the appropriate choices of const ants are
made.
In reality there is always also a certain noise present due to e.g. the
inherent unreliability of the ionic channels involved in th e transmission
of signals in and between the neurons (Koch, 1999). To take th is effect
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.78
into account we have added zero mean white Gaussian noise wit h in-
tensity σ2to the EPSPs given by our model, which thus represents our
total synaptic response .
2.2.Information processing
We study information processing performance in terms of gen eral sta-
tistical signal-noise separation measures applied to the o utput of our
model, the soma of a cell in the cochlear nucleus. The output s ignal-
noise separation setting was chosen since it can be applied w ith only
minimal assumptions about the input signal. Due to the frequ ency
selectivity of the primary parts of the auditory system it is sufficient,
at least as a good first approximation for weak signals (Egu´ ı luz et al.,
2000; Camalet et al., 2000), to restrict attention to sinuso idal signals
(possibly with slowly varying amplitude and phase). The sim plicity that
the output-separation setting offers can be contrasted with that of a
communications setting which in general would require cons iderably
more assumptions in order to define quantities like alphabet , message,
3coding and channel capacity (Cover and Thomas, 1991). Of cou rse,
one could also select some stochastic signal and consider on ly mutual
information between input and output but this too would requ ire some
further statistical assumptions. For our study however, it is sufficient
to restrict attention to the very simple class of signals stin the FHN
model of the form
st=Asin(ω0t+ϕ), (5)
where A,ω≥0 are constant in time and ϕ∈[−π,π) is a phase which
is also constant in time.
2.2.1. φ-divergences and generalized SNR.
A number of fundamental limits in statistical inference and IT can
be expressed as monotonic functions of so-called φ-divergences, which
can be though of as “directed distances” between probabilit y measures.
For example, the minimal probability of error in (Bayesian) detection,
Wald’s inequalities (sequential detection), the bound in S tein’s lemma
(cutoff rates in Neyman-Pearson detection) and the Fisher in formation
for small parameter deviations (the Cram´ er-Rao bound) can all be
written as simple functions of a φ-divergence. In the simplest setting,
3The message set involved (at each given frequency), if one ca n be defined, would
depend entirely on the situation; it would be different for va rious phrases in human
languages and would be different for natural sounds in differe nt environments. This
makes it reasonable to assume that the primary parts of the au ditory system have
been optimized by evolution with respect to criteria that ar e largely invariant, such
as the ability to detect and possibly determine the amplitud e of a weak tone.
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.89
where p0,p1are two probability density functions (PDFs) on the real
lineR, theφ-divergence dφ(p0,p1) between p0,p1is defined as (Liese
and Vajda, 1987)
dφ(p0,p1) =/integraldisplay
Rφ/parenleftBigp1(x)
p0(x)/parenrightBig
p0(x)dx, (6)
where φis any continuous convex function φon [0,∞) (we assume
p0(x) = 0 if p1(x) = 0). A φ-divergence satisfies dφ(p0,p1)≥0, with
equality if and only if p0=p1almost everywhere, and thus expresses
the “separation” between p0,p1in a relative-entropy like way. Indeed,
one prominent member of the family of φ-divergences is the Kullback-
Liebler divergence or relative entropy, also known as information di-
vergence dI(Cover and Thomas, 1991), obtained for φ(x) =−ln(x).
Other important members of this family are the Kolmogorov or error
divergence d(q)
E, obtained for φ(x) =|(1−q)x−q|where q∈[0,1] is a
parameter, and the χ2-divergence dχ2, obtained for φ(x) = (1 −x)2.
Theχ2-divergence is twice the first term in a formal expansion of th e
information divergence around 0 (i.e. for p0=p1) and is a (tight) upper
bound for a family of generalized SNR measures known as deflec tion
ratios4that depend only on the means and variances of the observable s.
Ifhis some function of data, the deflection ratio (DR) D(h) is defined
as (Basseville, 1989)
D(h) =|E1(h)−E0(h)|2
Var0(h),
where E1(h),E0(h) is the expectation of hcomputed using p0andp1,
respectively, and Var 0(h) is the variance of hcomputed using p0. The
DR is upper-bounded as
D(h)≤dχ2(p0,p1), (7)
with equality if and only if C1(h−E0(h)) =C2(p1/p0−1) with p0-
probability one, for two constants C1,C2not both zero. In particular,
we have equality in (7) if hequals p1/p0, thelikelihood ratio . It follows
that a larger χ2-divergence allows for larger SNR, when expressed in
terms of DRs.
Theχ2and information divergences determine locally the Cram´ er -
Rao bound (CRB) for parameter estimation ((Salicru, 1993; C over and
Thomas, 1991)). For example, if θis a parameter with values in some
4Indeed, it can be shown that the (narrow-band) SNR measures u sed in stochas-
tic resonance can be expressed as limits of deflection ratios (Rung and Robinson,
2000; Robinson et al., 2000).

estimation of θwhen θis near θ0the CRB (which is the inverse of the
Fisher Information), and thereby the achievable accuracy f or unbiased
estimation of θ, is locally determined by the growth of the χ2and
information divergences as a functions of θ, near θ0.
The Kolmogorov divergence is directly related to the minima l achiev-
able probability of error in Bayesian hypothesis testing. I fp0andp1

A larger Kolmogorov divergence thus gives a smaller minimal proba-
bility of error.
For later reference we point out that all the definitions and p roper-
ties above have counterparts on much more general probabili ty spaces
(Liese and Vajda, 1987; Robinson et al., 2000; Rung and Robin son,
2000), for instance in the infinite dimensional context of pr obability
measures on the space of continuous functions on [0 ,T].
2.2.2. Auditory processing performance.
In order to apply φ-divergences to assess performance in our model
of the auditory processing chain, we need to specify the sett ing in
somewhat greater detail, as well as elaborate some of the fea tures of
the model.
We have chosen to make the parameters A,ωandϕconstant, which
in a detection scenario means that we are considering so-cal led coherent
detection (detection of a completely deterministic signal ). At first this
might seem as an oversimplification but we argue that it is not , for the
following reason. There are a number of nerve cells in the aud itory nerve
“tuned” to any given frequency and each corresponding axon, moreover,
exhibits spatial divergence near the end where it splits up i nto different
branches. Connections are then made between these branches and the
5As is well-known, ˜P(q)
e(p0, p1) is achieved with a simple likelihood ratio test.

dendritic tree or soma of the following neurons. Since the de ndrites
(from the connective synapse to the soma) have different leng ths, the
time delays in them will be different. For sinusoidal input si gnals this
can be exchanged for a phase shift of the signal, at least as a g ood first
approximation. Thus, for a given frequency, the primary aud itory pro-
cessing can be viewed as taking place over a “bank” of paralle l channels,
similar in characteristics but corresponding to different p hase shifts. In
a detection setting this corresponds to a bank of coherent de tectors
operating on the outputs of these channels. It is conceivabl e that the
subsequent processing can take advantage of this low-level parallelism
and that detection is possible based on a logical “or” operat ion where
one detector indicating presence of the signal is sufficient. Therefore,
we use a fixed phase ϕin the signal stin (1),(5) and treat the phase as
a (variable) parameter.
We assess the auditory processing performance by computing the
φ-divergences of the output of our model (the voltage to the so ma of a
cell in the cochlear nucleus) at a time point T, where Tis the end point
of a long time interval [0 ,T]. The two PDFs p0,p1in the definition (6)
are in the present setting given by the PDF for the output when no
signal is present in the FHN model (1),(2) (i.e. st≡0) and when a
signal stas in (5) is present, respectively. Since the PDFs in this cas e
are densities on the real line they are easy to compute, using numerical
simulation, but they are dependent on the phase ϕ, and so are the
resulting φ-divergences. In order to overcome this, and obtain overall
performance measures of the processing over all the paralle ll channels
described above, we have weighted together the φ-divergences as
dφ=/integraldisplay2π
0dφ(ϕ)dϕ, (8)
based on the assumption that there are enough channels to cov er a
sufficiently dense set of the phase interval [0 ,2π). It turns out that for
high frequencies the φ-divergences do not vary appreciably over a period
but in the medium and low frequency cases there will typicall y be one
or two regions of phase values where the divergences are sign ificantly
lower, as illustrated in Fig. 2a. However, since the regions where the
φ-divergences deviate significantly from their average valu es generally
are relatively small we argue that average divergences as in (8) are
relevant as measures of system performance.
Finally we remark that even though the more general “infinite di-
mensional” formulas for divergences mentioned above in pri nciple could
be applied if we generalized the problem to the case where out put over
a whole time interval [0 ,T] was observed (instead of only its end point
T), these formulas are considerably more difficult to handle nu merically
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.1112
and involve solving a general nonlinear filtering problem (L iptser and
Shiryayev, 1977). Since the synaptic connection itself rep resents an
averaging over time (and thus “dimensionality reduction” i n the prob-
lem) we have chosen the approach above as a reasonable compro mise
to reduce computational complexity while retaining releva nce of the
model.
2.3.Simulations
The stochastic differential equations were solved using the Euler-Maru-
yama scheme (Kloeden and Platen, 1992) and the PDFs of the out put
to the model were estimated using a histogram approach based on
counting the number of samples falling in a grid of intervals on the
real line. For calculation of the Kolmogorov divergence the so obtained
“raw” histograms were sufficient but they proved insufficient f or the
χ2and information divergences (which are sensitive to inaccu racies in
the representation of the PDFs). Therefore, smoothing with a kernel
of the type e−c|x|was applied to the estimated PDFs before the latter
two divergences were calculated. In order to reduce the depe ndence
on the smoothing parameter c, its values were kept in a region where
the results for the Kolmogorov divergence did not vary appre ciably
depending on weather smoothing was applied or not. Moreover , in this
region, the values of the so computed χ2and information divergences
were qualitatively independent of the value of c. All our simulations
were done using Matlab on UNIX(Digital)/Linux(i386).
3. Results
Our main object of study is the variability of performance, q uantified
viaφ-divergences (cf. Sect. 2.2.2), as a function of parameters . We shall
primarily focus on the Kolmogorov divergence, since this is easiest to
compute numerically, but we shall also consider performanc e in terms
of the information and χ2divergences, and deflection ratios.
The regimes of values used for the parameters in the FHN part
of the model are chosen on the basis of previous studies (Mass anes
and Vicente, 1999; Alexander et al., 1990). First, a nominal set of
parameters is chosen for which the FHN output resembles real neuron
data and then the parameters are varied around this point. At all times,
however, the parameters are kept inside the region where the output is
spike-train like i.e., all the resulting FHN outputs are vis ually similar to
the one shown in Fig. 1. The synaptic constants used for the si mulation
are chosen in order to give realistic EPSP:s for the studied s ystems and
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.1213
the distance x0is set rather small ( x0= 0.25 on a dendrite of length
L= 1.5) since many synapses in the auditory system, e.g. the endbu lb
of Held, form connections close to the soma.
3.1.Performance with respect to variation of aandb.
A basic example of performance expressed as a function of par ameters
is shown in Fig. 3a where the Kolmogorov divergence for A= 0.2,
ω0= 8,δ= 1 and σ= 100√
2·10−5is displayed as a function of aand
b. Both aandbhave effect on how much excitation that is needed to
produce spikes in the FHN output. If ais made smaller the potential
barrier height decreases, which gives a larger spike rate. I ncreasing the
value of bhas the same effect, since an increase in bcan be interpreted
as if a bias was added to the input signal. This is illustrated in Fig. 2b
where the FHN neuron’s spontaneous activity is displayed fo r different
values of aandb.
A marked “ridge” is present in the divergence surface in Fig. 3a,
indicating that there is a family of values of the potential p arameter a
and the bias parameter bthat would optimize the ability of the modeled
system to detect a (weak) sinusoidal signal. The FHN neurons corre-
sponding to these parameter values have the common property that
they fire only sparsely without the signal input but fire with a signifi-
cant intensity when the signal is present. For parameter val ues outside
the region under the ridge, the Kolmogorov divergence, and a ssociated
performance, is uniformly lower. The “plateau” on the left o f the ridge
is located above parameter values for which the FHN neurons a re very
easily excited. Given that the spike intensities of the FHN n eurons
corresponding to these parameter values are roughly indepe ndent of
the presence or absence of an input signal, the presence of th e plateau
may seem counterintuitive. However, the firing that takes pl ace when
an input signal is applied is much more regular (since it is phase locked
to the signal) compared to that taking place when the excitat ion is just
noise. Thus, the divergences corresponding to the systems f or which the
FHN parts are easily excited are rather large but still clear ly smaller
than those corresponding to the ridge. In the former region o f parameter
values it is also possible that an applied input signal decre ases the firing
rate since the noise-induced firing rate can be larger than th e rate given
by a phase-locked spike train. Consequently, even though th e region of
spontaneous firing yields rather large divergences they are are clearly
smaller than the divergences on the ridge. The region of low d ivergences
to the right of the ridge is generated by parameter values cor responding
to systems of FHN neurons that are very difficult to excite and h ardly
ever fire, even in the presence of an input signal.
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.1314
Performing the same type of analysis on the system, but using theχ2
or information divergence instead, yields qualitatively s imilar results, as
seen in Figs. 3b,3c. Due to numerical problems it is hard to ca lculate
the exact height of the ridges, however, and we therefore lim it the
surfaces’ heights in the figures by truncating values above a certain
threshold to the value of the threshold. Even though this pre vents a
precise estimation of the optimal combinations of paramete r values
it allows the main objective to be fulfilled; to show the exist ence of
regions with (considerably) better performance in terms of divergences
than others. For deflection ratios, on the other hand, the num erical
problems are minor, since they can be calculated without exp licitly
calculating p0andp1, which makes DRs more robust. In Fig. 3d DRs
for the output of the model are displayed. Also for the DRs a ri dge can
be seen and the resulting set of optimal values is similar to t hat for
the divergences (though small changes in the position of the ridge can
be seen). This qualitative behavior seen in all examples so f ar, with
a (largely) common region of optimal values, is recurrent in all our
simulations described in the following.
3.2.Performance for a lower intensity level.
In the previous section we described a simulation which was a imed at
investigating optimization of performance as a function of the potential
parameter aand the bias parameter b, in an otherwise fixed environ-
ment. If we change the environment, new values of the paramet ers will
emerge as optimal. For instance, if we lower the intensity le vel of the
noise the location of the ridge appearing in Fig. 3a will chan ge, as seen
in Fig. 4a. Together, these two figures illustrate, moreover , that care
must be exercised when interpreting results of the stochast ic resonance
type (Gammaitoni et al., 1998) for neural processing system s: For a
fixed pair of parameters values a,b, such as a= 0.6 and b= 0.12,
the divergence can be higher for a larger noise level but the maximally
achievable divergence, obtained on the ridge in the two figures, will be
lower. Hence, for a system where adaption to environmental changes is
possible, a lower noise intensity is always better in our set ting.
3.3.Performance with respect to variation of aandδ.
If we instead of varying the potential parameters a,bvary the relaxation
parameter δwe get the result illustrated in Fig. 4b. Also this divergenc e
surface displays a marked ridge, similar to the one in Fig. 3a , indicating
possible combinations of parameter values for best perform ance.
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.1415
3.4.Performance for other input signal parameters.
The ridges in the divergence surfaces discussed so far are on ly relevant
for the given input signal and if we change the input by e.g. al tering
the amplitude or the frequency of the signal we get a different result.
Examples of this are shown in Fig. 4c, where the amplitude Ais set
to 0.1, and in Fig. 4d where the angular frequency ω0is set to 2.
Even though we still can see ridges in both cases they are diffe rent in
shape than the first one in Fig. 3a. Obviously, the divergence decreases
with decreased signal amplitude and the height of the ridge b ecomes
lower in Fig. 4c, but the location of the ridge changes only sl ightly
and it appears as if only a slight change of optimal parameter values
occurs. When varying the frequency however, the ridge clear ly moves
to an entirely new position and new parameter values render o ptimal
performance.
4. Discussion
We have described a method for analyzing the information pro cess-
ing capability in the primary part of the mammalian auditory ner-
vous system using fundamental statistical and information theoretical
performance criteria, quantitatively expressed by φ-divergences. Our
premise has been that, since these criteria are highly relev ant for the
processing taking place in this system, the non-existence o f well defined
global maxima of these criteria occuring in the interior of r egions of
feasible system parameters would suggest incompleteness o r incorrect-
ness of the overall model. (Loosely speaking, one can argue t hat such
global interior maxima must exist for the “right” criteria in a “correct”
model since otherwise parameters would have to be set at boun daries
in order to achieve optimal behavior. Parameters at boundar ies would
favorstructural change by evolution until only interior optima occur,
whereby the “drive” for structural change ceases). One inst ance of this
point is that without taking into account the synaptic plast icity, it
can be shown that the divergence surfaces will have a qualita tively
different shape, with an additional ridge that, at least part ly, will yield
optimal parameter values that are unphysical. However, the observed
“ridges” in the divergence and deflection surfaces in Figs. 3 ,4 indeed
allow for optimization of performance by taking parameter v alues in the
interior of the domain of values that have physical significa nce. Since
the model is based on fairly standard and well accepted compo nents
(e.g. the FHN model), which we feel capture the essential mec hanisms
involved in the information processing considered here, we believe that
neuro_sub.tex; 2/02/2008; 1:30; p.1516
the results in fact can be interpreted as a quantitative indi cation of
how some of the parameters in the auditory system presumably must
be set. In particular this applies to the quiescent firing rate (QFR)
which, in real systems under this assumption, must take valu es (as
a result of evolution) near those that correspond to the maxi ma of
the performance measures considered here. Verifying this i s a topic for
further research, however.
The conclusion about the QFR is based on the qualitative obse r-
vation that all the “ridges” appearing in the divergence and deflection
surfaces correspond to parameter values that lie a certain “ thin” or
“manifold like” set in parameter space. A closer examinatio n of this set
shows that the combinations of parameter values that corres pond to e.g.
the ridge in Fig. 3a describe systems that have virtually the same firing
intensity in the absence of an external signal, i.e. virtual ly the same
QFR. Since this specific QFR also is common for all optimal val ues
of parameter combinations corresponding to the ridges in Fi gs. 4a,4b,
and in all other simulations that we have tried with the same i nput
signal, this strongly suggests a connection between the QFR and the
information processing performance of the system. Further evidence
supporting this hypothesis can be seen in Figs. 4c,4d which s how that
the optimal QFR, and thereby the optimal set of parameters, i s very
little affected by a change in our (weak) signal amplitude but changes
considerably with the applied frequency. This reflects well the frequency
division of sound performed in the inner ear, as discussed in Section
2.2. A more detailed investigation of the frequency depende nce also
shows that the optimal QFR in our model increases with increa sing
frequency. Even though existing real data is inconclusive o n this point,
Kiang’s classical data (Kiang, 1965) can be interpreted to s upport the
hypothesis that such a frequency dependence exists. Howeve r, experi-
ments are needed to resolve the issue. Finally we point out th at even
though the location of the ridge in e.g. Figs. 3a,3b,3c is lar gely the
same it does vary slightly depending on which divergence or d eflection
is considered, which is to be expected since these performan ce measures
are not identical. In particular, the χ2-divergence in Fig. 3b can, as
explained in Sec. 2.2.1, be considered to be a first order appr oximation
of the information divergence in Fig. 3c.
All constants in our model have been chosen in order to produc e as
realistic data as possible. The choices are not critical tho ugh, since in
most of the simulations where the values of the constants are varied
(in a reasonable large interval) the results are qualitativ ely invariant.
Our approach therefore offers a new qualitative, and possibl y also a
quantitative, explanation of the different levels of QFRs ob served in
the auditory nerve.

Pr´ ecis
During the March 2000 meeting of the Workshop on Strings, Dua lity, and Geometry in
Montr´ eal, Canada, I delivered three lectures on topics in fl uid mechanics, while titulary of
the Aisenstadt Chair. Three more lectures were presented in June 2000, during the Montr´ eal
Workshop on Integrable Models in Condensed Matter and Non-E quilibrium Physics. Here are
brief descriptive remarks on the content of the lectures.
1. Introduction – The motivation for the research is explain ed.
2. Classical Equations – The classical theory is reviewed, b ut in a manner different from
textbook discussions.
(a) Equations of motion – Summary of conservation and Euler e quations.
(b) A word on canonical formulations – An advertisement of th e method for finding the
canonical structure for the above (developed with L.D. Fadd eev).
(c) The irrotational case – C. Eckart’s Lagrangian and a rela tivistic generalization for
vortex-free motion.
(d) Nonvanishing vorticity and the Clebsch parameterizati on – In the presence of vor-
ticity, the velocity Chern-Simons term (kinetic helicity) provides an obstruction to
the construction of a Lagrangian for the motion. C.C. Lin’s m ethod overcomes the
obstruction, and leads to the Clebsch parameterization for the velocity vector.
(e) Some further remarks on the Clebsch parameterization – P roperties and peculiarities
of this presentation for a 3-vector.
3. Specific Models – Nonrelativistic and relativistic fluid m echanics in spatial dimensions
greater than one.
(a) Galileo-invariant nonrelativistic model – The Chaplyg in gas [negative pressure, in-
versely proportional to density] is studied, selected solu tions are presented, unex-
pected symmetries are identified.
(b) Lorentz-invariant relativistic model – The scalar Born -Infeld model is found to be
the relativistic generalization of the Chaplygin gas, and s hares with it unexpected
symmetries.
(c) Some remarks on relativistic fluid mechanics – Dynamics f or isentropic relativistic
fluids is given a Lagrangian formulation, and the Born-Infel d model is fitted into
that framework.
4. Common Ancestry: The Nambu-Goto Action – Both the Chaplyg in gas and the Born-
Infeld model devolve from the parameterization-invariant Nambu-Goto action, when spe-
cific parameterization is made.
(a) Light-cone parameterization – Chaplygin gas is derived .
(b) Cartesian parameterization – Born-Infeld model is deri ved.6 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
(c) Hodographic transformation – Chaplygin gas is derived ( again).
(d) Interrelations – The Chaplygin gas and Born-Infeld are r elated because (1) the former
is the nonrelativistic limit of the latter; (2) both descend from the same Nambu-Goto
action.
5. Supersymmetric Generalization – Fluid mechanics enhanc ed by supersymmetry.
(a) Chaplygin gas with Grassmann variables – Vorticity is pa rameterized by Grassmann
variables, which act like Gaussian potentials of the Clebsc h parameterization.
(b) Supersymmetry – Supercharges, transformations genera ted by
them, and their algebra.
(c) Supermembrane connection – Supermembrane Lagrangian i n three spatial dimen-
sions.
(d) Hodographic transformation – Supersymmetric Chaplygi n gas in two spatial dimen-
sions is derived.
(e) Light-cone parameterization – Supersymmetric Chaplyg in gas in two spatial dimen-
sions is derived (again).
(f) Further consequences of the supermembrane connection – Hidden symmetries of the
supersymmetric model.
6. One-dimensional Case – The previous models in one spatial dimension are completely
integrable.
(a) Solutions for the Chaplygin gas on a line – Some special so lutions are presented;
infinite number of constants of motion is identified; Riemann coordinates are intro-
duced and the fluid equations as well as constants of motion ar e expressed in terms
of them.
(b) Aside on the integrability of the cubic potential in one d imension – The one-dimen-
sional problem with pressure ∝(density)3possesses the SO(2,1) “Schr¨ odinger sym-
metry” and the equations of motion, in Riemann form, become f ree.
(c) General solution of the Chaplygin gas on a line – Solution obtained by linearization.
(d) Born-Infeld model on a line – When formulated in terms of i ts Riemann coordinates,
it becomes trivially equivalent to the Chaplygin gas.
(e) General solution of the Nambu-Goto theory for a ( d= 1)-brane (string) in two
spatial dimensions (on a plane) – The explicit string soluti on is transformed by a
hodographic transformation to the Chaplygin gas solution, and a relation is estab-
lished between this solution and the one found by linearizat ion.
7. Towards a Non-Abelian Fluid Mechanics – Motivation for th is theory is given.
(a) Proposal for non-Abelian fluid mechanics – A Lagrangian i s proposed; it involves a
non-Abelian auxiliary field whose Chern-Simons density sho uld be a total derivative.Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 7
(b) Non-Abelian Clebsch parameterization (or, casting the non-Abelian Chern-Simons
density into total derivative form) – Total derivative form for the non-Abelian Chern-
Simons density is found, thereby generalizing the Abelian C lebsch parameterization,
which achieves a total derivative form for the Abelian densi ty.
(c) Proposal for non-Abelian magnetohydrodynamics – Our pr oposal, which generalizes
the one in Section 7.1 to include a dynamical non-Abelian gau ge field, reduces in
the Abelian limit to conventional magnetohydrodynamics.8 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
1 Introduction
Field theory, as developed by particle physicists in the las t quarter century, has enjoyed a
tremendous expansion in concepts and calculational possib ilities.
We learned about higher and unexpected symmetries, and disc overed evidence for partial
or complete integrability facilitated by these symmetries . We appreciated the relevance of
topological ideas and structures, like solitons and instan tons, and introduced new dynamical
quantities, like the Chern-Simons terms in odd-dimensiona l gauge theories. We enlarged and
unified numerous degrees of freedom by introducing organizi ng principles such as non-Abelian
symmetries and supersymmetries. Indeed, application of fie ld theory to particle physics has
now been replaced by the study of fundamentally extended str uctures like strings and mem-
branes, which bring with them new mathematically intricate ideas.
Thinking about research possibilities, I decided to invest igate whether the novelties that
we have introduced into particle physics field theory can be u sed in a different, non-particle
physics, yet still field-theoretic context. In these Aisens tadt lectures I shall describe an ap-
proach to fluid mechanics, which is an ancient field theory, bu t which can be enhanced by the
ideas that we gleaned from particle physics.
As an introduction, I shall begin with a review of the classic al theory. Mostly, I duplicate
what can be found in textbooks, but perhaps the emphasis will be new and different. After
this I shall describe how some instances of the classical the ory are related to d-branes and
how this relation explains some integrability properties o f various models. I shall then show
how the degrees of freedom can be enlarged to accomodate supe rsymmetry and non-Abelian
structures in fluid mechanics. A few problems are scattered t hroughout; solutions are given at
the end of the text, before the references.
New work that I shall describe here was done in collaboration with D. Bazeia, V.P. Nair,
S.-Y. Pi, and A.P. Polychronakos. Textbooks for the classic al theory, which I recommend, are
by Landau and Lifschitz [1] as well as by Arnold and Khesin [2] .Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 9
2 Classical Equations
2.1 Equations of motion
We begin with nonrelativistic equations that govern a matte r density field ρ(t,r) and a velocity
field vector v(t,r), taken in any number of dimensions. The equations of motion comprise a
continuity equation,
∂
∂tρ(t,r) +∇·/parenleftbig
ρ(t,r)v(t,r)/parenrightbig
= 0 (1)
which ensures matter conservation, that is, time independe nce, ofN=/integraltext
drρ, and Euler’s
equation, which is the expression of a nonrelativistic forc e law.
∂
∂tv(t,r) +v(t,r)·∇v(t,r) =f(t,r) (2)
Hereρvis the current jandfis the force. We shall deal with an isentropic fluid, that is,
entropy is constant and does not appear in our theory. Also we ignore dissipation and take
the force to be given by the pressure P:f=−1
ρ∇P. For isentropic motion Pis a function
only ofρ, sofcan also be written as −∇V′(ρ):
f=−1

(The fields in curly brackets are at equal times, hence the tim e argument is suppressed.) An
equivalent, more transparent version of the algebra (14) is satisfied by the field momentum

As a consequence of (14) we have

{Pi(r),Pj(r′)}=Pj(r)∂iδ(r−r′) +Pi(r′)∂jδ(r−r′). (16)
This is the familiar algebra of momentum densities. One veri fies that the Jacobi identity is
satisfied [4].
Naturally one asks whether there exists a Lagrangian whose c anonical variables lead to the
Poisson brackets (14) or (16) and to the Hamiltonian (11). In more mathematical language,
we seek a canonical 1-form and a symplectic 2-form that lead t o the algebra (14) or (16).

2.2 A word on canonical formulations
I shall now describe an approach to canonical formulations o f dynamics, publicized by Faddeev
and me [5], which circumvents and simplifies the more elabora te approach of Dirac.12 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
We begin with a Lagrangian that is first order in time. This ent ails no loss of generality
because all second-order Lagrangians can be converted to fir st order by the familiar Legendre
transformation, which produces a Hamiltonian: H(p,q) =p˙q−L( ˙q,q), wherep≡∂L/∂ ˙q
(the over-dot designates the time derivative). The equatio ns of motion gotten by taking
the Euler-Lagrange derivative with respect to pandqof the Lagrangian L( ˙p,p; ˙q,q)≡p˙q−
H(p,q) coincide with the “usual” equations of motion obtained by t aking theqEuler-Lagrange
derivative of L( ˙q,q). [In factL( ˙p,p; ˙q,q) does not depend on ˙ p.] Moreover, some Lagrangians
possess only a first-order formulation (for example, Lagran gians for the Schr¨ odinger or Dirac
fields; also the Klein-Gordon Lagrangian in light-cone coor dinates is first order in the light-cone
“time” derivative).
Denoting all variables by the generic symbol ξi, the most general first-order Lagrangian is
L=ai(ξ)˙ξi−H(ξ). (17)
Note that although we shall ultimately be interested in field s defined on space-time, for present
didactic purposes it suffices to consider variables ξi(t) that are functions only of time. The
Euler-Lagrange equation that is implied by (17) reads
fij(ξ)˙ξj=∂H(ξ)
∂ξi(18)
where
fij(ξ) =∂aj(ξ)
∂ξi−∂ai(ξ)
∂ξj. (19)
The first term in (17) determines the canonical 1-form: ai(ξ)˙ξidt=ai(ξ)dξi, whilefijgives
the symplectic 2-form: d ai(ξ)dξi=1
2fij(ξ)dξidξj.
To set up a canonical formalism, we proceed directly. We do not make the frequently
heard statement that “the canonical momenta ∂L/∂ ˙ξi=ai(ξ) are constrained to depend on
the coordinates ξ”, and we do not embark on Dirac’s method for constrained systems.
In fact, if the matrix fijpossesses the inverse fijthere are no constraints. Then (18)
implies
˙ξi=fij(ξ)∂H(ξ)
∂ξj. (20)
When one wants to express this equation of motion by bracketi ng with the Hamiltonian
˙ξi={H(ξ),ξi}={ξj,ξi}∂H(ξ)
∂ξj(21)
one is directly led to postulating the fundamental bracket a s
{ξi,ξj}=−fij(ξ). (22)
The Poisson bracket between functions of ξis then defined by
{F1(ξ),F2(ξ)}=−∂F1(ξ)
∂ξifij∂F2(ξ)
∂ξj. (23)Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 13
One verifies that (22) satisfies Jacobi identity by virtue of ( 19).
Whenfijis singular and has no inverse, constraints do arise, and the development becomes
more complicated (see [5]).
Our problem in connection with (14) and (16) is in fact the inv erse of what I have here
summarized. From (14) and (16), we know the form of fijand that the Jacobi identity
holds. We then wish to determine the inverse fij, and alsoaifrom (19). Since we know the
Hamiltonian from (11), construction of the Lagrangian (17) should follow immediately.
However, an obstacle may arise: If there exists a quantity C(ξ) whose Poisson bracket with
all theξivanishes, then
0 ={ξi,C(ξ)}=−fij∂
∂ξjC(ξ). (24)
That is,fijhas the zero mode∂
∂ξjC(ξ), and the inverse to fij, namely the symplectic 2-form
fij, does not exist. In that case, something more has to be done, a nd we shall come back to
this problem.
Totally commuting quantities like C(ξ) are called “Casimir invariants”. Since they Poisson-
commute with allthe dynamical variables, they commute with the Hamiltonian , and are
constants of motion. But these constants do not reflect any sy mmetry of the specific Hamilto-
nian, nor do they generate any infinitesimal transformation onξi, since the {C(ξ),ξi}bracket
vanishes.
As will be demonstrated below, the algebra (14), (16) admits Casimir invariants, which
create an obstruction to the construction of a canonical for malism for fluid mechanics; this
obstruction must be overcome to make progress. (In the Lagra ngian formulation of fluid
mechanics these Casimirs are related to a parameterization -invariance of that formalism [3].)
2.3 The irrotational case
We now return to the specific issue of determining the fluid dyn amical Lagrangian. The
problem of constructing a Lagrangian which leads to (14) and (16) can be solved by inspection
for the irrotational case, with vanishing vorticity [see (6 )]. For then the velocity commutator
in (14) vanishes and (7) shows that the first equation in (14) c an be satisfied by taking ρand
θto be canonically conjugate.
{θ(r),ρ(r′)}=δ(r−r′) (25)
Thus the Lagrangian reads
Lirrotational =/integraldisplay
dr/parenleftbig
θ˙ρ−Hv=∇θ/parenrightbig
(26)
whereHis given by (11) with vtaken as in (7). The form of this Lagrangian can be understood
by the following argument, due to C. Eckart [6].14 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)

But we also need to link the density with the current j=ρv, so that the continuity equation
holds. This can be enforced with the help of a Lagrange multip lierθ. We thus arrive at the
free, continuum Lagrangian.

drθ˙ρdoes not contain v, the
latter may be varied, evaluated, and eliminated [5]. Doing t his, we find
ρv−ρ∇θ= 0 (29)
and we conclude that ∇θis the velocity or, more precisely, that ∇θis the vderivative of the
kinetic energy, that is, the momentum p, which in this nonrelativistic setting coincides with v.

which reproduces (26) with the interaction V(ρ) in (11) set to zero, and leads to the free
version of the Bernoulli equation of motion (8).

2= 0 (32)
Taking the gradient gives
˙v+v·∇v= 0. (33)

∂tψ−¯h2
2m∇ψ∗·∇ψ. What form does this take after ψis represented by
ρ1/2eiθ/¯h? Compare with (26).Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 15
Remarkably, the same equation (33) emerges for a kinetic ene rgyT(v) that is an arbitrary
function of v. This will be useful for us when we study a relativistic gener alization of the
theory. If we replace (28) by
¯L0=/integraldisplay
dr/parenleftig
ρT(v) +θ/parenleftbig
˙ρ+∇·(ρv)/parenrightbig/parenrightig
(34)
and vary vto eliminate it, we get in a generalization of (30)
∇θ=∂T
∂v≡p. (35)
So in the general case, it is the momentum – the vderivative of T(v) – that is irrotational.
The Lagrange density becomes

dr/parenleftbig
θ˙ρ−ρh(p)p=∇θ/parenrightbig
(36)
whereh(p) is the Legendre transform of T(v).

∂i˙θ=−v·∂
∂rip
=−vj∂
∂rjpi
=−vj∂pi
∂vk∂
∂rjvk. (40)
On the other hand, (35) implies that
∂i˙θ=∂pi
∂vk˙vk. (41)
The two are consistent, provided the free Euler equation hol ds, that is,
˙vk+vj∂jvk= 0 (42)16 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
(as long as ∂pi/∂vk=∂2T/∂vi∂vkhas an inverse).
Let me observe that free motion is here governed by a Lagrangi an that is not quadratic
and the free equations are not linear. Nevertheless, the equ ations of motion (38) and (42) can
be solved in terms of initial data.
ρ(t= 0,r)≡ρ0(r) (43)
v(t= 0,r)≡v0(r) (44)
Upon determining the retarded position q(t,r) from the equation
q+tv0(q) =r (45)
one verifies that the solution to the free equations reads
v(t,r) =v0(q) (46)
ρ(t,r) =ρ0(q)/vextendsingle/vextendsingledet∂qi
∂rj/vextendsingle/vextendsingle. (47)
A final remark: Note that the free Bernoulli equation (8) coin cides with the free Hamilton-
Jacobi equation for the action.
2.4 Nonvanishing vorticity and the Clebsch parameterizati on
We now return to our original Galileo-invariant problem and enquire about the Lagrangian
for velocity fields that are not irrotational, that is, whose vorticity is nonvanishing. Here we
specify the spatial dimensionality to be 3, and observe that the algebra (14) possesses a zero
mode, since the quantity
C(v)≡/integraldisplay
drεijkvi∂jvk=/integraldisplay
drv·ω (48)
(Poisson) commutes with both ρandv. So the symplectic 2-form does not exist: in the
language developed above, fijhas no inverse. (Notice that C, also called the “fluid helic-
ity”, coincides with the Abelian Chern-Simons term for v[7].) (In the irrotational case with
vanishing ω, the obstacle obviously is absent.)
To make progress, one must neuteralize the obstruction. Thi s is achieved in the following
manner, as was shown by C.C. Lin [8].
We use the Clebsch parameterization for the vector field v. Any three-dimensional vector,
which involves three functions, can be presented as
v=∇θ+α∇β (49)
with three suitably chosen scalar functions θ,α, andβ. This is called the “Clebsch parameteri-
zation”, and ( α,β) are called “Gaussian potentials” [9]. In this parameteriz ation, the vorticity
reads
ω=∇α×∇β (50)Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 17
and the Lagrangian is taken as
L=−/integraldisplay
drρ(˙θ+α˙β)−Hv=∇θ+α∇β (51)
withvinHexpressed as in (49). Thus ( ρ,θ) remain canonically conjugate but another
canonical pair appears: ( ρα,β). The phase space is 4-dimensional, corresponding to the fo ur
observables ρandv, and a straightforward calculation shows that the Poisson b rackets (14)
are reproduced, with vconstructed by (49).
But how has the obstacle been overcome? Let us observe that in the Clebsch parameteri-
zationCis given by
C=/integraldisplay
drεijk∂iθ∂jα∂kβ (52)
which is just a surface integral
C=/integraldisplay
dS·(θω). (53)
In this form, Chas no bulk contribution, and presents no obstacle to constr ucting a symplectic
2-form and a canonical 1-form in terms of θ,αandβ, which are defined in the bulk, that is,
for all finite r.
Lin gave an Eckart-type derivation of (51): Return to ¯LGalileo
0 in (28) and add a further
constraint, beyond the one enforcing current conservation [8].
¯LGalileo
0 =/integraldisplay
dr/parenleftig

2ρv2+θ/parenleftbig
˙ρ+∇·(ρv)/parenrightbig
−ρα(˙β+v·∇β)/parenrightig
(54)
Setting the variation (with respect to v) to zero evaluates vas in (49); eliminating vfrom (54)
gives rise to (51).
This procedure works in any number of dimensions, producing the same canonical 1-form
in any dimension. This means that in two spatial dimensions, on the plane, where the ( ρ,v)
space is three-dimensional, the four-dimensional phase sp ace (ρ,θ;ρα,β) is larger. Moreover,
the analog to Cin two spatial dimensions, that is, the obstruction to const ructing a symplectic
2-form, is not a single quantity: an infinite number of object s (Poisson) commute with ρandv.
These are
Cn=/integraldisplay
drρ/parenleftigω
ρ/parenrightign
n= 0,±1,±2,.... (55)
(Of course, the Cnvanish in the irrotational case where there is no obstructio n.) One can
understand why there is an infinite number of obstructions by observing that phase space
must be even dimensional, but ( ρ,v) comprise three quantities on the plane. So a nonsingular
symplectic form can be constructed either by increasing the number of canonical variables to
four, or decreasing to two. The Lin/Clebsch method increase s the variables. On the other
hand, decreasing to two entails suppressing of one continuo us and local degree of freedom, and18 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
evidently this is equivalent to neutralizing the infinite nu mber of global obstructions, namely,
theCn. But I do not know how to effect such a suppression, so I remain w ith (51).
Note that ¯LGalileo
0 in (54), apart from a total time derivative, can also be writt en in any
number of dimensions as
¯LGalileo
0 =/integraldisplay

where we have introduced the current four-vector
jµ= (cρ,ρv), (57)
employed the four-vector gradient ∂µ= (1
c∂
∂t,∇), and denoted the kinetic energy by T(v).
These expressions will form our starting point for a relativ istic generalization of the theory as
well as a non-Abelian generalization. (That is why we have in troduced the velocity of light in
the above definitions; of course cdisappears in the Galilean theory, as it has no role there.)
Finally we observed that in one spatial dimension, where vcan always be written as θ′
and the vorticity vanishes, the irrotational canonical 1-f orm/integraltext
dxθ˙ρis generally applicable
and can equivalently be written as −1
2/integraltext
dxdyρ(x)ε(x−y)˙v(y), whereεis a±1-step function,
determined by the sign of its argument. Evidently this leads to a spatially nonlocal, but
otherwise completely satisfactory canonical formulation of fluid motion on a line.
2.5 Some further remarks on the Clebsch parameterization
Let me elaborate on the Clebsch parameterization for a vecto r field, which was presented for
the velocity vector in (49). Here I shall use the notation of e lectromagnetism and discuss
the Clebsch parameterization of a vector potential A, which also leads to the magnetic field
B=∇×A. (Of course the same observations apply when the vector in qu estion is the velocity
fieldv, with ∇×vgiving the vorticity.)
The familiar parameterization of a three-component vector employs a scalar function θ(the
“gauge” or “longitudinal” part) and a two-component transv erse vector AT:A=∇θ+AT,
∇·AT= 0. This decomposition is unique and invertible (on a space w ith simple topology).
In contrast, the Clebsch parameterization uses three scala r functions, θ,α, andβ,
A=∇θ+α∇β (58)
which are not uniquely determined by A(see below). The associated magnetic field reads
B=∇α×∇β. (59)
Repeating the above in form notation, the 1-form A=Aidriis presented as
A= dθ+αdβ (60)Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 19
and the 2-form is
dA= dαdβ. (61)
Darboux’s theorem ensures that the Clebsch parameterizati on is attainable locally in space
[in the form (60)] [10]. Additionally, an explicit construc tion ofα,β, andθcan be given by
the following [11].
Solve the equations
dx
Bx=dy
By=dz
Bz(62a)
which may also be presented as
εijkdrjBk= 0. (62b)
Solutions of these relations define two surfaces, called “ma gnetic surfaces”, that are given by
equations of the form
Sn(r) = constant ( n= 1,2). (63)
It follows from (62) that these also satisfy
B·∇Sn= 0 (n= 1,2) (64)
that is, the normals to Snare orthogonal to B, orBis parallel to the tangent of Sn. The
intersection of the two surfaces forms the so-called “magne tic lines”, that is, loci that solve
the dynamical system
dr(τ)
dτ=B/parenleftbig
r(τ)/parenrightbig
(65)
whereτis an evolution parameter. Finally, the Gaussian potential sαandβare constructed
as functions of ronly through a dependence on the magnetic surfaces,
α(r) =α/parenleftbig
Sn(r)/parenrightbig
β(r) =β/parenleftbig
Sn(r)/parenrightbig
(66)
so that
∇α×∇β= (∇S1×∇S2)εmn∂α
∂Sm∂β
∂Sn. (67)
Evidently as a consequence of (64), ∇α×∇βin (67) is parallel to B, and because Bis
divergence-free αandβcan be adjusted so that the norm of ∇α×∇βcoincides with |B|.
Onceαandβhave been fixed in this way, θcan easily be computed from A−α∇β.
Neither the individual magnetic surfaces nor the Gauss pote ntials are unique. [By viewing
Aas a canonical 1-form, it is clear that the expression (60) re tains its form after a canonical20 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
transformation of α,β.] One may therefore require that the Gaussian potentials αandβ
simply coincide with the two magnetic surfaces: α=S1,β=S2. Nevertheless, for a given A
andBit may not be possible to solve (62) explicitly.
The Chern-Simons integrand A·Bbecomes in the Clebsch parameterization
A·B=∇θ·(∇α×∇β) =∇·(θB) =B·∇θ. (68)
Thus having identified the Gauss potentials αandβwith the two magnetic surfaces, we deduce
from (64) and (68) three equations for the three functions ( θ,α,β) that comprise the Clebsch
parameterization.
B·∇α=B·∇β= 0
B·∇θ= Chern-Simons density A·B (69)
Eq. (68) also shows that in the Clebsch parameterization the Chern-Simons density becomes
a total derivative.
A·B=∇·(θB) (70)
This does notmean that the Clebsch parameterization is unavailable when the Chern-Simons
integral over all space is nonzero. Rather for a nonvanishin g integral and well-behaved B
field, one must conclude that the Clebsch function θis singular either in the finite volume of
the integration region or on the surface at infinity bounding the integration domain. Then
the Chern-Simons volume integral over (Ω) becomes a surface integral on the surfaces ( ∂Ω)
bounding the singularities.
/integraldisplay
ΩdrA·B=/integraldisplay
∂ΩdS·(θB) (71)
Eq. (71) shows that the Chern-Simons integral measures the m agnetic flux, modulated by θ
and passing through the surfaces that surround the singular ities ofθ.
The following explicit example illustrates the above point s.

There is another approach to the construction of (Abelian) v ector potentials for which the
(Abelian) Chern-Simons density is a total derivative, and a s a consequence a Clebsch parame-
terization for these potentials is readily found. The metho d relies on projecting an Abelian
potential from a non-Abelian one, and it can be generalized t o a construction of non-Abelian
vectors for which the non-Abelian Chern-Simons density is a gain a total derivative. This will
be useful for us when we come to discuss non-Abelian fluid mech anics. Therefore, I shall now
explain this method – in its Abelian realization [12].
We consider an SU(2) group element gand a pure gauge SU(2) gauge field, whose matrix-
valued 1-form is
g−1dg=Vaσa
2i(79)
whereσaare Pauli matrices. It is known that
tr(g−1dg)3=−1
4εabcVaVbVc=−3
2V1V2V3(80)
is a total derivative; indeed its spatial integral measures the winding number of the gauge
functiong[13]. Since Vais a pure gauge, we have
dVa=−1
2εabcVbVc(81)
so that if we define an Abelian gauge potential Aby projecting one SU(2) component of (79)
(say the third) A=V3, the Abelian Chern-Simons density for Ais a total derivative, as is
seen from the chain of equation that relies on (80) and (81).
AdA=V3dV3=−V1V2V3=2
3tr(g−1dg)3(82)
Of courseA=V3is not an Abelian pure gauge.
Note thatgdepends on three arbitrary functions, the three SU(2) local gauge functions.
HenceV3enjoys sufficient generality to represent the 3-dimensional vectorA. Moreover,
sinceA’s Abelian Chern-Simons density is given by tr( g−1dg)3, which is a total derivative, a
Clebsch parameterization for Ais easily constructed. We also observe that when the SU(2)
group element ghas nonvanishing winding number, the resultant Abelian vec tor possesses a
nonvanishing Chern-Simons integral, that is, nonzero magn etic helicity.Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 23
Finally we remark that the example of a Clebsch-parameteriz ed gauge potential A, pre-
sented above in (72), is gotten by a projection onto the third isospin direction of a pure gauge
SU(2) potential, constructed from group element g= exp/parenleftbig

Further intricacies arise when the Clebsch parameterizati on is used in variational calcula-
tions involving vector fields; see Ref. [14].24 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
3 Specific Models
We now return to our irrotational models both relativistic a nd nonrelativistic, for which we
shall specify an explicit force law and discuss further prop erties.
3.1 Galileo-invariant nonrelativistic model
Recall that the nonrelativistic Lagrangian for irrotation al motion reads
LGalileo=/integraldisplay
dr/parenleftig

where ∇θ=v. The Hamiltonian density His composed of the last two terms beyond the

Various expressions for Vappear in the literature. V(ρ)∝ρnis a popular choice, appropriate
for the adiabatic equation of state. We shall be specifically interested in the “Chaplygin gas”.
V(ρ) =λ
ρ, λ> 0 (85)
According to what we said before, the Chaplygin gas has entha lpyV′=−λ/ρ2, negative
pressureP=−2λ/ρ, and speed of sound s=√
2λ/ρ(henceλ>0).
Chaplygin introduced his equation of state as a mathematica l approximation to the physi-
cally relevant adiabatic expressions with n>0. (Constants are arranged so that the Chaplygin
formula is tangent at one point to the adiabatic profile [15]. ) Also it was realized that certain
deformable solids can be described by the Chaplygin equatio n of state [16]. These days nega-
tive pressure is recognized as a possible physical effect: ex change forces in atoms give rise to
negative pressure; stripe states in the quantum Hall effect m ay be a consequence of negative
pressure; the recently discovered cosmological constant m ay be exerting negative pressure on
the cosmos, thereby accelerating expansion.
For any form of V, the model possesses the Galileo symmetry appropriate to no nrelativistic
dynamics. The Galileo transformations comprise the time an d space translations, as well as
space rotations. The corresponding constants of motion are the energy E.

The action of these transformations on the fields is straight forward: the time and space argu-
ments are shifted or the space argument is rotated. Slightly less trivial is the action of Galileo
boosts, which boost the spatial coordinate by a velocity u
r→R=r−tu. (89)
The density field transforms trivially: its spatial argumen t is boosted,
ρ(t,r)→ρu(t,r) =ρ(t,R) (90)
but the velocity potential acquires an inhomogeneous term.
θ(t,r)→θu(t,r) =θ(t,R) +u·r−u2
2t (91)
Those of you familiar with field theoretic realizations of th e Galileo group will recognize the
inhomogeneous term as the well-known Galileo 1-cocyle. It e nsures that the velocity, the
gradient of θ, transforms appropriately.
v(t,r)→vu(t,r) =v(t,r−tu) +u (92)
The associated conserved quantity is the “boost generator” .
B=tP−/integraldisplay
drρr (Galileo boost) (93)
Finally, also conserved is the total number.
N=/integraldisplay
drρ (particle number) (94)
The corresponding transformation shifts θby a constant.
These transformations and constants of motion fit into the ge neral theory: the action is
invariant against the transformations; Noether’s theorem can be used to derive the constants
of motion; their time independence is verified with the help o f the equations of motion –
indeed, the continuity equations (1), (4), and (5) as well as the symmetry of Tijguarantee
this. Also, using the basic Poisson brackets (25) for the ( ρ,θ) variables, one can check that each
infinitesimal transformation is generated by Poisson brack eting with the appropriate constant;
Poisson bracketing the constants with each other reproduce s the Galileo Lie algebra with a
central extension given by N, which corresponds to the familiar Galileo 2-cocycle. Ther e are
a total of1
2(d+ 1)(d+ 2) Galileo generators in dspace plus one time dimensions. Together
with the central term, we have a total of1
2(d+ 1)(d+ 2) + 1 generators.
Another useful consequence of the symmetry transformation s is that they map solutions of
the equations of motion into new solutions. Of course, “new” solutions produced by Galileo
transformations are trivially related to the old ones: they are simply shifted, boosted or rotated.
[The free theory as well as the adiabatic theory with n= 1 + 2/dare also invariant
against the SO(2,1) group of time translation, dilation, an d conformal transformation [17],26 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
which together with the Galileo group form the “Schr¨ odinge r group” of nonrelativistic motion,
whenever the energy-momentum “tensor” satisfies 2 Too=Tii[18].]
But we shall now turn to the specific Chaplygin gas model, with V(ρ) =λ/ρ, which
possesses additional and unexpected symmetries.
The Chaplygin gas action and consequent Bernoulli equation for the Chaplygin gas in ( d,1)
space-time read

ρ/parenrightig
(95)

This model possesses further space-time symmetries beyond those of the Galileo group [19].
First of all, there is a one-parameter ( ω) time rescaling transformation
t→T=eωt, (97)
under which the fields transform as
θ(t,r)→θω(t,r) =eωθ(T,r) (98)
ρ(t,r)→ρω(t,r) =e−ωρ(T,r). (99)
Second, indspatial dimensions, there is a vectorial, d-parameter ( ω) space-time mixing trans-
formation
t→T(t,r) =t+ω·r+1
2ω2θ(T,R) (100)
r→R(t,r) =r+ωθ(T,R) (101)
Note that the transformation law for the coordinates involv es theθfield itself. Under this
transformation, the fields transform according to
θ(t,r)→θω(t,r) =θ(T,R) (102)
ρ(t,r)→ρω(t,r) =ρ(T,R)1

(104)
(The time and space derivatives in the last element are with r espect totandr.) One can again
tell the complete story for these transformations: The acti on is invariant; Noether’s theorem
gives the conserved quantities, which for the time rescalin g is
D=tH−/integraldisplay
drρθ (time rescaling) (105)Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 27
while for the space-time mixing one finds
G=/integraldisplay
dr(rH −θP) (space-time mixing). (106)
The time independence of DandGcan be verified with the help of the equations of motion
(continuity and Bernoulli). Poisson bracketing the fields θandρwithDandGgenerates the
appropriate infinitesimal transformation on the fields.
So now the total number of generators is the sum of the previou s1
2(d+ 1)(d+ 2) + 1 with
1 +dadditional ones
1
2(d+ 1)(d+ 2) + 1 + 1 + d=1
2(d+ 2)(d+ 3). (107)
When one computes the Poisson brackets of all these with each other one finds the Poincar´ e
Lie algebra in one higher spatial dimension, that is, in ( d+1,1)-dimensional space-time, where
the Poincar´ e group possesses1
2(d+2)(d+3) generators [20]. Moreover, one verifies that ( t,θ,r)
transform linearly as a ( d+ 2) Lorentz vector in light-cone components, with tbeing the “+”
component and θthe “−” component [21].
Presently, we shall use these additional symmetries to gene rate new solutions from old ones,
but, in contrast with what we saw earlier, the new solutions w ill be nontrivially linked to the
former ones. Note that the additional symmetry holds even in the free theory.
Before proceeding, let us observe that ρmay be eliminated by using the Bernoulli equation
to express it in terms of θ. In this way, one is led to the following ρ-independent action for θ
in the Chaplygin gas problem:
IChaplygin
λ=−2√
λ/integraldisplay
dt/integraldisplay
dr/radicalbigg
˙θ+(∇θ)2

Although this operation is possible only in the interacting case, the interaction strength is seen
to disappear from the equations of motion.

˙θ+(∇θ)2
2+∇·∇θ/radicalig
˙θ+(∇θ)2
2= 0 (109)
λmerely serves as an overall factor in the action.
The action (108) looks unfamiliar; yet it is Galileo invaria nt. [The combination ˙θ+1
2(∇θ)2
responds to Galileo transformations without a 1-cocycle; s ee (91).] Also IChaplygin
λpossesses
the additional symmetries described above, with θtransforming according to the previously
recorded equations.
Let us discuss some solutions. For example, the free theory i s solved by
θ(t,r) =r2
2t(110)
which corresponds to the velocity
v(t,r) =r
t. (111)28 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
Galileo transforms generalize this in an obvious manner int o a set of solutions. (The charge
densityρis determined by its initial condition. In the free theory, ρis an independent quantity,
and I shall not discuss it here.) Performing on the above form ula forθthe new transformations
of time-rescaling and space-time mixing, we find that the sol ution is invariant.
We can find a solution similar to (110) in the interacting case , ford>1, which we henceforth
assume (the d= 1 case will be separately discussed later). One verifies tha t a solution is
θ(t,r) =−r2
2(d−1)tρ(t,r) =/radicalbigg

Note that the speed of sound
s=√
2λ
ρ=√

exceedsv. Again this solution can be translated, rotated, and booste d. Moreover, the solution
is time-rescaling–invariant. However, the space-time mix ing transformation produces a wholly
different kind of solution. This is best shown graphically, w here thed= 2 case is exhibited
(see figure ) [22].
Another interesting solution, which is essentially one-di mensional (lineal), even though it
exists in arbitrary spatial dimension, is given by
θ(t,r) = Θ(ˆn·r) +u·r−1
2t/parenleftbig
u2−(ˆn·u)2/parenrightbig
. (115)
Here ˆnis a spatial unit vector, uis an arbitrary vector with dimension of velocity, while Θ is an
arbitrary function with static argument, which can be boost ed by the Galileo transform (91).
The corresponding charge density is time-independent.
ρ(t,r) =√

The sound speed s=√
2λ/ρ= Θ′(ˆn·r) + ˆn·uis just the ˆ ncomponent of the velocity
v=∇θ= ˆnΘ′(ˆn·r) +u.
Finally, we record a planar static solution to (109)
θ(r) = Θ(ˆn1·r/ˆn2·r) (118)
where ˆn1and ˆn2are two orthogonal unit vectors [23].
Problem 6 Show that the solution for θgiven in (110) is invariant under the time rescaling
transformation (97), (98), and under the space-time mixing transformation (100)–(102).Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 29

3.2 Lorentz-invariant relativistic model
We now turn to a Lorentz-invariant generalization of our Gal ileo-invariant Chaplygin model
in (d,1)-dimensional space-time. We already know from (34)–(37) how to construct the free
Lagrangian by using Eckart’s method with a relativistic kin etic energy.
T(v) =−c2/radicalbig
1−v2/c2 (119)
Recall that mass has been scaled to unity, and that we retain t he velocity of light cto keep
track of the nonrelativistic c→ ∞ limit. Evidently, the momentum is
p=∂T(v)
∂v=v/radicalbig
1−v2/c2. (120)
Thus the free relativistic Lagrangian, with current conser vation enforced by the Lagrange
multiplierθ, reads [compare (34)]

dr/parenleftig

This may be presented in a Lorentz-covariant form in terms of a current four-vector jµ=
(cρ,ρv).¯LLorentz

To findLGalileo
0 of (31) as the nonrelativistic limit of LLorentz

variable must be extracted from its relativistic counterpa rt. Calling the former θNRand the
latter, which occurs in (124), θR, we define
θR≡ −c2t+θNR. (125)
It then follows that apart from a total time derivative

Next, one wants to include interactions. While there are man y ways to allow for Lorentz-
invariant interactions, we seek an expression that reduces to the Chaplygin gas in the nonrel-
ativistic limit. Thus, we choose [24]

We see that, as c→ ∞,
LBorn-Infeld
a − − − − →
c→∞LChaplygin
λ=a2/2. (128)
[AgainθNRis extracted from θRas in (125) and a total time derivative is ignored.] Although
it perhaps is not obvious, (127) defines a Poincar´ e-invaria nt theory, and this will be explicitly
demonstrated below. Therefore, LBorn-Infeld
a possesses Lorentz and Poincar´ e symmetries in
(d,1) space-time, with a total of1
2(d+ 1)(d+ 2) + 1 generators, where the last “ + 1” refers to
the total number N=/integraltext
drρ.
Whena= 0, the model is free and elementary. It was demonstrated pre viously [eqs. (34)–
(42)] that the free equations of motion are precisely the sam e as in the nonrelativistic free
model, so the complete solution (43)–(47) works here as well . Fora∝ne}a⊔ionslash= 0, in the presence of
interactions, one can eliminate ρas before, and one is left with a Lagrangian just for the θ
field. It reads
LBorn-Infeld
a =−a/integraldisplay
dr/radicalig
c2−(∂µθ)2. (129)
This is a Born-Infeld-type theory for a scalar field θ; its Poincar´ e invariance is manifest, and
again, the elimination of ρis only possible with nonvanishing a, which however disappears
from the dynamics, serving merely to normalize the Lagrangi an.
The equations of motion that follow from (127) read
˙ρ+∇·/parenleftigg
∇θ/radicaligg
ρ2c2+a2
c2+ (∇θ)2/parenrightigg
= 0 (130)
˙θ+ρc2/radicaligg
c2+ (∇θ)2
ρ2c2+a2= 0. (131)
The density ρcan be evaluated in terms of θfrom (131); then (130) reads
∂α/parenleftig1/radicalbig
c2−(∂µθ)2∂αθ/parenrightig
= 0 (132)
which also follows from (129). After θNRis extracted from θRas in (125) we see that in the
nonrelativistic limit LBorn-Infeld
a (127) or (129) becomes LChaplygin
λof (95) or (108),
LBorn-Infeld
a − − − − →
c→∞LChaplygin
λ=a2/2(133)
and the equations of motion (130)–(132) reduce to (1), (96), and (109).
In view of all the similarities to the nonrelativistic Chapl ygin gas, it comes as no surprise
that the relativistic Born-Infeld theory possesses additi onal symmetries. These additional
symmetry transformations, which leave (127) or (129) invar iant, involve a one-parameter ( ω)
reparameterization of time, and a d-parameter ( ω) vectorial reparameterization of space. Both
transformations are field dependent.32 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
The time transformation is given by an implicit formula invo lving also the field θ[25],
t→T(t,r) =t

c2tanhc2ω (134)
while the field transforms according to
θ(t,r)→θω(t,r) =θ(T,r)
coshc2ω−c2ttanhc2ω . (135)
[We record here only the transformation on θ; howρtransforms can be determined from the
(relativistic) Bernoulli equation, obtained by varying ρin (127), which expresses ρin terms
ofθ. Moreover, (135) is sufficient for discussing the invariance of (129).] The infinitesimal

transformation reads [26]
G=/integraldisplay

dr(c2rρ+θP) (space reparameterization). (139)
Of course the Born-Infeld action (127) or (129) is invariant against these transformations,
whose infinitesimal form is generated by the constants.
With the addition of DandGto the previous generators, the Poincar´ e algebra in ( d+1,1)
dimension is reconstructed, and ( t,r,θ) transforms linearly as a ( d+ 2)-dimensional Lorentz
vector (in Cartesian components) [21]. Note that this symme try also holds in the free, a= 0,
theory.
It is easy to exhibit solutions of the relativistic equation (132), which reduce to solutions of
the nonrelativistic, Chaplygin gas equation (109) [after −c2thas been removed, as in (125)].
For example
θ(t,r) =−c/radicalbigg
c2t2+r2

solves (132) and reduces to (112). The relativistic analog o f the lineal solution (115) is
θ(t,r) = Θ(ˆn·r) +n·r−ct/radicalbig
c2+u2−(ˆn·u)2. (141)
[Note that the above profiles continue to solve (132), even wh en the sign of the square root is
reversed, but then they no longer possess a nonrelativistic limit.]
Additionally there exists an essentially relativistic sol ution, describing massless propaga-
tion in one direction: according to (132), θcan satisfy the wave equation ⊓ ⊔θ= 0, provided
(∂µθ)2= constant, as for example with plane waves
θ(t,r) =f(ˆn·r±ct) (142)
where (∂µθ)2vanishes. Then ρreads, from (131),
ρ=∓a
c2f′. (143)
Other solutions are given in ref. [27].
3.3 Some remarks on relativistic fluid mechanics
The Born-Infeld model reduces in the nonrelativistic limit to the Chaplygin gas. Equations
governing the latter belong to fluid mechanics, but the Born- Infeld equations do not readily
expose their fluid mechanical structure. Nevertheless they do in fact describe a relativistic
fluid. In order to demonstrate this, we give a pr´ ecis of relat ivistic fluid mechanics.
Usually the dynamics of a relativistic fluid is presented in t erms of the energy-momentum
tensor,θµν, and the equations of motion are just the conservation equat ions∂µθµν= 0 [28].
[We denote the relativistic energy-momentum tensor by θµν, to distinguish it from the nonrel-
ativisticTµνintroduced in (4) and (5). The limiting relation between the two is given below.]
But we prefer to begin with a Lagrange density
L=−jµaµ−f(/radicalbig
jµjµ). (144)
Herejµis the current Lorentz vector jµ= (cρ,j). Theaµcomprise a set of auxilliary variables;
in the relativistic analog of irrotational fluids we take aµ=∂µθ, more generally
aµ=∂µθ+α∂µβ (145)
so that the Chern-Simons density of aiis a total derivative [compare (56), (57)]. The function f
depends on the Lorentz invariant jµjµ=c2ρ2−j2and encodes the specific dyanamics (equation
of state).

[One way to derive (146) from (144) is to embed that expressio n in an external metric tensor
gµν, which is then varied; in the variation jµandaµare taken to be metric-independent and
jµ=gµνjν.] Furthermore, varying jµin (144) shows that
aµ=−jµ√jαjαf′(/radicalbig

so thatnis proportional to the proper density and 1 /nis proportional to the specific volume.
Eq. (148) identifies the proper energy density eand the pressure P(which coincides with L)
through the conventional formula [28].
θµν=−gµνP+uµuv(P+e) (150)
Therefore, in our case

P=nf′(n)−f(n). (152)
The thermodynamic relation involving entropy Sreads

where the proportionality constant is determined by the tem perature. With (151) and (152)
the left side of (153) vanishes and we verify that entropy is c onstant, that is, we are dealing
with an isentropic system, as has been stated in the very begi nning.
For the free system, the pressure vanishes, so we choose f(n) =cn

Other forms for fgive rise to relativistic fluid mechanics with other equatio ns of state.
It is interesting to see how the nonrelativistic limit of θµνin (148) produces Tµνof (4)–(5).
It is especially intriguing to notice that θµνis symmetric but Tµνis not. To make the connec-

1−v2/c2∼ρc−(ρv2/2c). Alsof(n) is chosen to be cn+V(n/c), and thus P=

θoo=nc−(v2n/c3)V′

1−v2/c2+V(ρ)
≈ρc2+ρv2
2+V(ρ) =ρc2+Too. (156)
Thus, apart from the relativistic “rest energy” ρc2,θoopasses toToo. The relativistic energy

4 Common Ancestry: The Nambu-Goto Action
The “hidden” symmetries and the associated transformation laws for the Chaplygin and Born-
Infeld models may be given a coherent setting by considering the Nambu-Goto action for a
d-brane in ( d+ 1) spatial dimensions, moving on ( d+ 1,1)-dimensional space-time. In our
context, a d-brane is simply a d-dimensional extended object: a 1-brane is a string, a 2-bra ne
is a membrane and so on. A d-brane in ( d+ 1) space divides that space in two.
The Nambu-Goto action reads
ING=/integraldisplay
dϕ0dϕLNG=/integraldisplay
dϕ0dϕ1···dϕd√
G (160)
G= (−1)ddet∂Xµ
∂ϕα∂Xµ
∂ϕβ(161)
HereXµis a (d+ 1,1) target space-time (d-brane) variable, with µextending over the range
µ= 0,1,...,d,d + 1. Theϕαare “world-volume” variables describing the extended obje ct
withαrangingα= 0,1,...,d ;ϕα,α= 1,...,d , parameterizes the d-dimensional d-brane that
evolves inϕ0.
The Nambu-Goto action is parameterization invariant, and w e shall show that two different
choices of parameterization (“light-cone” and “Cartesian ”) lead to the Chaplygin gas and Born-
Infeld actions, respectively. For both parameterizations we choose ( X1,...,Xd) to coincide
with (ϕ1,...,ϕd), renaming them as r(ad-dimensional vector). This is usually called the
“static parameterization”. (The ability to carry out this p arameterization globally presupposes
that the extended object is topologically trivial; in the co ntrary situation, singularities will
appear, which are spurious in the sense that they disappear i n different parameterizations, and
parameterization-invariant quantities are singularity- free.)
4.1 Light-cone parameterization
For the light-cone parameterization we define X±as1√
2(X0±Xd+1).X+is renamed tand
identified with√
2λϕ0. This completes the fixing of the parameterization and the re maining
variable is X−, which is a function of ϕ0andϕ, or after redefinitions, of tandr.X−is
renamed as θ(t,r) and then the Nambu-Goto action in this parameterization co incides with
the Chaplygin gas action IChaplygin
λin (108) [29].
4.2 Cartesian parameterization
For the second, Cartesian parameterization X0is renamed ctand identified with cϕ0. The re-
maining target space variable Xd+1, a function of ϕ0andϕ, equivalently of tandr, is renamed
θ(t,r)/c. Then the Nambu-Goto action reduces to the Born-Infeld acti on/integraltext

4.3 Hodographic transformation
There is another derivation of the Chaplygin gas from the Nam bu-Goto action that makes use of
a hodographic transformation, in which independent and dep endent variables are interchanged.
Although the derivation is more involved than the light-con e/static parameterization used in
Section 4.1 above, the hodographic approach is instructive in that it gives a natural definition
for the density ρ, which in the above static parameterization approach is det ermined from θ
by the Bernoulli equation (96).
We again use light-cone combinations:1√
2(X0+Xd+1) is calledτand is identified with
ϕ0, while1√
2(X0−Xd+1) is renamed θ. At this stage the dependent, target-space variables
areθand the transverse coordinates X:Xi, (i= 1,... ,d ), and all are functions of the world-
volume parameters ϕ0=τandϕ:ϕr, (r= 1,... ,d );∂τindicates differentiation with respect
toτ=ϕ0, while∂rdenotes derivatives with respect to ϕr. The induced metric Gαβ=∂Xµ

The Nambu-Goto Lagrangian now leads to the canonical moment a

Also there is the constraint
p·∂rX+ Π∂rθ= 0 (167)38 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
[Thaturis still given by (165) is a consequence of (166a) and (167).] Heregrsis inverse
togrs, and the two metrics are used to move the ( r,s) indices. The theory still possesses
an invariance against redefining the spatial parameters wit h aτ-dependent function of the
parameters; infinitesimally: δϕr=−fr(τ,ϕ),δθ=fr∂rθ,δXi=fr∂rXi. This freedom may
be used to set urto zero and Π to −1.
Next the hodographic transformation is performed: Rather t han viewing the dependent
variables p,θ, and Xas functions of τandϕ,X(τ,ϕ) is inverted so that ϕbecomes a
function of τandX(renamedtandr, respectively), and pandθalso become functions of t
andr. It then follows from the chain rule that the constraint (167 ) (at Π = −1) becomes
0 =∂Xi
∂ϕr/parenleftig
pi−∂
∂Xiθ/parenrightig
(168)
and is solved by
p=∇θ . (169)
Moreover, according to the chain rule and the implicit funct ion theorem, the partial derivative
with respect to τat fixed ϕ[this derivative is present in (164)] is related to the parti al derivative
with respect to τat fixed X=rby
∂τ=∂
∂t+∇θ·∇ (170)
where we have used the new name “ t” on the right. Thus the Nambu-Goto Lagrangian – the
ϕintegral of the Lagrange density (164) (at ur= 0, Π = −1) – reads

The present derivation has the advantage of relating the den sityρto the Jacobian of
theXi→ϕtransformation: ρ=√

∂Xi. (This in turn shows that the hodographic
transformation is just exactly the passage from Lagrangian to Eulerian fluid variables – a
remark aimed at those who are acquainted with the Lagrange fo rmulation of fluid motion [3].)
Finally, let me observe that the expansion of the Galileo sym metry in (d,1) space-time to
a Poincar´ e symmetry in ( d+ 1,1) space-time can be understood from a Kaluza-Klein–type
framework [30].Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 39
4.4 Interrelations
The relation to the Nambu-Goto action explains the origin of the hidden ( d+ 1,1) Poincar´ e
group in our two nonlinear models on ( d,1) space-time: Poincar´ e invariance is what remains
of the reparameterization invariance of the Nambu-Goto act ion after choosing either the light-
cone or Cartesian parameterizations. Also the nonlinear, fi eld dependent form of the transfor-
mation laws leading to the additional symmetries is underst ood: it arises from the identification
of some of the dependent variables ( Xµ) with the independent variables ( ϕα).
The complete integrability of the d= 1 Chaplygin gas and Born-Infeld model is a con-
sequence of the fact that both descend from a string in 2-spac e; the associated Nambu-Goto
theory being completely integrable. We shall discuss this i n Section 6.
We observe that in addition to the nonrelativistic descent f rom the Born-Infeld theory to
the Chaplygin gas, there exists a mapping of one system on ano ther, and between solutions
of one system and the other, because both have the same d-bran e ancestor. The mapping
is achieved by passing from the light-cone parameterizatio n to the Cartesian, or vice-versa.
Specifically this is accomplished as follows:
Chaplygin gas →Born-Infeld: GivenθNR(t,r), a nonrelativistic solution, determine
T(t,r) from the equation
T+1
c2θNR(T,r) =√
2t (172)
Then the relativistic solution is
θR(t,r) =1√
2c2T−1√
2θNR(T,r) =c2(√
2T−t) (173)
Born-Infeld →Chaplygin gas: GivenθR(t,r), a relativistic solution, find T(t,r) from
T+1
c2θR(T,r) =√
2t (174)
Then the nonrelativistic solution is
θNR(t,r) =1√
2c2T−1√
2θR(T,r) =c2(√
2T−t) (175)
The relation between the different models is depicted in the fi gure below.
As a final comment, I recall that the elimination of ρ, both in the nonrelativistic (Chap-
lygin) and relativistic (Born-Infeld) models is possible o nly in the presence of interactions.
Nevertheless, the θ-dependent ( ρ-independent) resultant Lagrangians contain the interact ion
strengths only as overall factors; see (108) and (129). It is theseθ-dependent Lagrangians that
correspond to the Nambu-Goto action in various parameteriz ations. Let us further recall the
the Nambu-Goto action also carries an overall multiplicati ve factor: the d-brane “tension”,
which has been suppressed in (160). Correspondingly, for a “ tensionless” d-brane, the Nambu-
Goto expression vanishes, and cannot generate dynamics. Th is suggests that an action for40 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)

“tensionless” d-branes could be the noninteracting fluid me chanical expressions (95), (127),
with vanishing coupling strengths λanda, respectively. Furthermore, we recall that the non-
interacting models retain the higher, dynamical symmetrie s, appropriate to a d-brane in one
higher dimension.Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 41
5 Supersymmetric Generalization
Once proven the fact that a bosonic Nambu-Goto theory gives r ise to and links together the
Chaplygin gas and Born-Infeld models, which are irrotation al in that the velocity of the former
and the momentum of the latter are given by a gradient of a pote ntial, one can ask whether
there is a d-brane that produces a fluid model with nonvanishi ng vorticity.
We shall show that this indeed can be achieved if one starts wi th a super–d-brane, and
moreover the resulting fluid model possesses supersymmetry . However, since theories of ex-
tended “super” objects cannot be formulated in arbitrary di mensions, we shall consider the
fluid in two spatial dimensions, namely, on the plane [31].
5.1 Chaplygin gas with Grassmann variables
We begin by positing the fluid model. The Chaplygin gas Lagran gian in (95) is supplemented
by Grassmann variables ψathat are Majorana spinors [real, two-component: ψ∗

Hereαiare two (i= 1,2), 2×2, real symmetric Dirac “alpha” matrices; in terms of Pauli
matrices we can take α1=σ1,α2=σ3. Note that the matrices satisfy the following relations,
which are needed to verify subsequent formulas

εabis the 2 ×2 antisymmetric matrix ε≡iσ2. In equation (176) λis a coupling strength which
is assumed to be positive. The Grassmann term enters with cou pling√
2λ, which is correlated
with the strength of the Chaplygin potential V(ρ) =λ/ρin order to ensure supersymmetry,
as we shall show below. It is evident that the velocity should be defined as
v=∇θ−1
2ψ∇ψ . (178)
The Grassmann variables directly give rise to a Clebsch form ula for v, and provide the
Gauss potentials. The two-dimensional vorticity reads ω=εij∂ivj=−1
2εij∂iψ∂jψ=−1
2∇ψ×
∇ψ. The variables {θ,ρ}remain a canonical pair, while the canonical 1-form in (176) indicates
that the canonically independent Grassmann variables are√ρψso that the antibracket of the
ψ’s is
{ψa(r),ψb(r′)}=−δab
ρ(r)δ(r−r′). (179)42 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
One verifies that the algebra (14) or (16) is satisfied, and fur ther, one has
{θ(r),ψ(r)}=−1
2ρ(r)ψ(r)δ(r−r′) (180)
{v(r),ψ(r′)}=−∇ψ(r)
ρ(r)δ(r−r′) (181)
{P(r),ψ(r′)}=−∇ψ(r)δ(r−r′). (182)
The momentum density Pis given by the bosonic formula P=ρv, but the Grassmann
variables are hidden in v, by virtue of (178).
The equations of motion read

However, rotational symmetry makes it possible to effect an “ improvement”, which modifies
the momentum density by a total derivative term, leaving the integrated total momentum

is conserved. The first term is clearly the orbital part (whic h still receives a Grassmann
contribution through v), whereas the second, coming from the improvement, is the sp in part.
Indeed, sincei
2ε=1
2σ2≡Σ, we recognize this as the spin matrix in (2+1) dimensions.
The extra term in the improved momentum density (194),1
8εij∂j(ρψεψ), can then be readily
interpreted as an additional localized momentum density, g enerated by the nonhomogeneity of
the spin density. This is analogous to the magnetostatics fo rmula giving the localized current
density jmin a magnet in terms of its magnetization m:jm=∇×m. All in all, we are
describing a fluid with spin.
Also the total number
N=/integraldisplay

is conserved by virtue of the continuity equation (183) sati sfied byρ. Finally, the theory is
Galileo invariant, as is seen from the conservation of the Ga lileo boost,
B=tP−/integraldisplay
d2rrρ (199)
which follows from (183) and (191). The generators H,P,M,BandNclose on the (extended)
Galileo group. [The theory is not Lorentz invariant in (2 + 1) -dimensional space-time, hence
the energy flux Tjodoes not coincide with the momentum density, improved or not .]44 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
We observe that ρcan be eliminated from (176) so that Linvolves only θandψ. From
(184) and (185) it follows that
ρ=√

2ψ˙ψ+1

Note that the coupling strength has disappeared from the dyn amical equations, remaining
only as a normalization factor for the Lagrangian. Conseque ntly the above elimination of ρ
cannot be carried out in the free case, λ= 0.
5.2 Supersymmetry
As we said earlier, this theory possesses supersymmetry. Th is can be established, first of all,
by verifying that the following two-component supercharge s are time-independent Grassmann
quantities.
Qa=/integraldisplay
d2r/bracketleftig
ρv·(αabψb) +√
2λψa/bracketrightig
. (202)
Taking a time derivative and using the evolution equations ( 183)–(186) establishes that ˙Qa= 0.
Next, the supersymmetric transformation rule for the dynam ical variables is found by
constructing a bosonic symmetry generator Q, obtained by contracting the Grassmann charge
with a constant Grassmann parameter ηa,Q=ηaQa, and commuting with the dynamical
variables. Using the canonical brackets one verifies the fol lowing field transformation rules:
δρ={Q,ρ}=−∇·ρ(ηαψ) (203)

Supersymmetry is reestablished by determining the variati on of the action/integraltext
dtd2rLconse-
quent to the above field variations: the action is invariant. One then reconstructs the super-
charges (202) by Noether’s theorem. Finally, upon computin g the bracket of two supercharges,
one finds
{ηa
1Qa,ηb
2Qb}= 2(η1η2)H (207)Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 45
which again confirms that the charges are time-independent:
{H,Qa}= 0. (208)
Additionally a further, kinematical, supersymmetry can be identified. According to the
equations of motion the following two supercharges are also time-independent:
¯Qa=/integraldisplay
d2rρψa. (209)
¯Q= ¯ηa¯Qaeffects a shift of the Grassmann field:
¯δρ={¯Q,ρ}= 0 (210)
¯δθ={¯Q,θ}=−1
2(¯ηψ) (211)
¯δψ={¯Q,ψ}=−¯η (212)
¯δv={¯Q,v}= 0. (213)
This transformation leaves the Lagrangian invariant, and N oether’s theorem reproduces (209).
The algebra of these charges closes on the total number N.

The supercharges Qa,¯Qa, together with the Galileo generators ( H,P,M, and B), withN
form a superextended Galileo algebra. The additional, nonv anishing brackets are
{M,Qa}=1

{M,¯Qa}=1

5.3 Supermembrane Connection
The equations for the supersymmetric Chaplygin fluid devolv e from a supermembrane La-
grangian,LM. We shall give two different derivations of this result, whic h make use of two

respectively, to (176) and (201). The two derivations follo w what has been done in the bosonic
case in Sections 4.1 and 4.3.
We work in a light-cone gauge-fixed theory: The supermembran e in 4-dimensional space-
time is described by coordinates Xµ(µ= 0,1,2,3), which are decomposed into light-cone
components X±=1√

are two-component, real Grassmann spinors ψ, which also depend on τandϕr. In the light-

is [32]

used to move the ( r,s) indices. Note that the dimensionality of the transverse co ordinatesXi
is the same as of the parameters ϕr, namely two.
5.4 Hodographic transformation
To give our first derivation following the procedure in Secti on 4.3, we rewrite the Lagrangian
in canonical, first-order form, with the help of bosonic cano nical momenta defined by
∂LM
∂∂τX=p=−Π∂τX−Πur∂rX (222a)
∂LM
∂∂τθ= Π =/radicalbig
g/Γ. (222b)
(The Grassmann variables already enter with first-order der ivatives.) The supersymmetric
extension of (164) then reads

. (223)
In (223)urserves as a Lagrange multiplier enforcing a subsidiary cond ition on the canonical
variables, and g= detgrs. The equations that follow from (223) coincide with the Eule r-
Lagrange equations for (219). The theory still possesses an invariance against redefining the
spatial parameters with a τ-dependent function of the parameters. This freedom may be u sedLectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 47
to setuτto zero and fix Π at −1. Next we introduce the hodographic transformation, as in
Section 4.3, whereby independent-dependent variables are interchanged, namely we view the
ϕrto be functions of Xi. It then follows that the constraint on (223), which with Π = −1
reads
p·∂rX−∂rθ+1
2ψ∂rψ= 0 (224)
becomes
∂rX·/parenleftig
p−∇θ+1
2ψ∇ψ/parenrightig
= 0. (225)
Herep,θandψare viewed as functions of X, renamed r, with respect to which acts the
gradient ∇. Also we rename pasv, which according to (225) is
v=∇θ−1
2ψ∇ψ . (226)
As in Section 4.3, from the chain rule and the implicit functi on theorem it follows that
∂τ=∂t+∂τX·∇ (227)
and according to (222a) (at Π = −1,ur= 0)∂τX=p=v. Finally, the measure transforms
according to d2ϕ→d2r1√g. Thus the Lagrangian for (223) becomes, after setting urto zero
and Π to −1,

Upon replacing ψby1√
2(1−ε)ψ, this is seen to reproduce the Lagrange density (176), apart
from an overall factor.
5.5 Light-cone parameterization
For our second derivation, we return to (219)–(221) and use t he remaining reparameterization
freedom to equate the two Xivariables with the two ϕrvariables, renaming both as ri. Also
τis renamed as t. This parallels the method in Section 4.1. Now in (219)–(221 )grs=δrs, and
∂τX= 0, so that (221) becomes simply
G= Γ = 2 ˙θ−ψ˙ψ+u2(229)

Again a replacement of ψby1√
2(1−ε)ψdemonstrates that the integrand coincides with the
Lagrange density in (201) (apart from a normalization facto r).
5.6 Further consequences of the supermembrane connection
Supermembrane dynamics is Poincar´ e invariant in (3+1)-di mensional space-time. This invari-
ance is hidden by the choice of light-cone parameterization : only the light-cone subgroup of the
Poincar´ e group is left as a manifest invariance. This is jus t the (2+1) Galileo group generated
byH,P,M,B, andN. (The light-cone subgroup of the Poincar´ e group is isomorp hic to
the Galileo group in one lower dimension [33].) The Poincar´ e generators not included in the
above list correspond to Lorentz transformations in the “ −” direction. We expect therefore
that these generators are “dynamical”, that is, hidden and u nexpected conserved quantities of
our supersymmetric Chaplygin gas, similar to the situation with the purely bosonic model.
One verifies that the following quantities
D=tH−/integraldisplay
d2r ρθ (232)
G=/integraldisplay
d2r(rH −θPI−1
8ψαα·PIψ)
=/integraldisplay
d2r(rH −θP−1

are time-independent by virtue of the equations of motion (1 83)–(186), and they supplement
the Galileo generators to form the full (3 + 1) Poincar´ e alge bra, which becomes the super-
Poincar´ e algebra once the supersymmetry is taken into acco unt. Evidently (232), (233) are
the supersymmetric generalizations of (105), (106).
We see that fluid dynamics can be extended to include Grassman n variables, which also
enter in a supersymmetry-preserving interaction. Since ou r construction is based on a super-
membrane in (3+1)-dimensional space-time, the fluid model i s necessarily a planar Chaplygin
gas. It remains for the future to show how this construction c ould be generalized to arbitrary
dimensions and to different interactions. Note that Grassma nn Gauss potentials ψcan be
used even in the absence of supersymmetry. For example, our t heory (176), with the last
term omitted, posseses a conventional, bosonic Hamiltonia n without supersymmetry, while
the Grassmann variables are hidden in vand occur only in the canonical 1-form.Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 49
6 One-dimensional Case
In this section, I shall discuss the nonrelativistic/relat ivistic models in one spatial dimension.
Complete integrability has been established for both the Ch aplygin gas [34] and the Born-Infeld
theory [35]. We can now understand this to be a consequence of the complete integrability
of the Nambu-Goto 1-brane (string) moving on 2-space (plane ), which is the antecedent of
both models. [Therefore, it suffices to discuss only the Chapl ygin gas since solutions of the
Born-Infeld model can then be obtained by the mapping (172)– (173).]
As remarked previously, in one dimension there is no vortici ty, and the nonrelativistic
velocityvcan be presented as a derivative with respect to the single sp atial variable of a
potentialθ. Similarly, the relativistic momentum p=v//radicalbig
1−v2/c2is a derivative of a
potentialθ. In both cases the potential is canonically conjugate to the densityρgoverned
by the canonical 1-form/integraltext
dxθ˙ρ. Moreover, it is evident that at the expense of a spatial
nonlocality, one may replace θby its antiderivative, which is pboth nonrelativistically and
relativistically (nonrelativistically p=v), so that in both cases the Lagrangian reads

and (241), and using that expression for ρin (237) and (240).50 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
6.1 Specific solutions for the Chaplygin gas on a line
Classes of solutions for a Chaplygin gas in one dimension can be given in closed form. For
example, to obtain general, time-rescaling–invariant sol utions, we make the Ansatz thatθ∝
1/t. Then (109) or (239) leads to a second-order nonlinear differ ential equation for the x-
dependence of θ. Therefore solutions involve two arbitrary constants, one of which fixes the
origin ofx(we suppress it); the other we call k, and take it to be real. The solutions then read
θ(t,x) =−1
2k2tcosh2kx . (243)
[Other solutions can be obtained by relaxing the reality con dition onkand/or shifting the
argumentkxby a complex number. In this way one finds that θcan also be1
2k2tsinh2kx,
1
2k2tsin2kx,1
2k2tcos2kx; but these lead to singular or unphysical forms for ρ.] The density
corresponding to (243) is found from (96) or (238) to be
ρ(t,x) =√
2λk|t|
cosh2kx. (244)
The velocity/momentum v=p=∂
∂xθis
v(t,x) =p(t,x) =−1
ktsinhkxcoshkx (245)
while the sound speed
s(t,x) =cosh2kx
k|t|(246)
is always larger than |v|. Finally, the current j=ρ∂θ
∂xexhibits a kink profile,
j(t,x) =−ε(t)√
2λtanhkx (247)
which is suggestive of complete integrability.
Another particular solution is the Galileo boost of the stat ic profiles (115), (116):
p(t,x) =p(x−ut) (248)
ρ(t,x) =√
2λ
|p−u|. (249)
Hereuis the boosting velocity and p(x−ut) is an arbitrary function of its argument (provided
p∝ne}a⊔ionslash=u). Clearly this is a constant profile solution, in linear moti on with velocity u.
Further evidence for complete integrability is found by ide ntifying an infinite number of
constants of motion. One verifies that the following quantit ies

are conserved.Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 51
The combinations p±√
2λ
ρare just the velocity ( ±) the sound speed, and they are known
as Riemann coordinates.
R±=p±√

The equations of motion for this system [continuity (237) an d Euler (238)] can be succinctly
presented in terms of R±:
˙R±=−R∓∂
∂xR±. (252)
6.2 Aside on the integrability of the cubic potential in one
dimension
Although it does not belong to the models that we have discuss ed, the cubic potential for
1-dimensional motion, V(ρ) =ℓρ3/3, is especially interesting because it is secretly free – a
fact that is exposed when Riemann coordinates are employed. For this problem these read
R±=p±√
2ℓρand again they are just the velocity ( ±) the sound speed. In contrast to (252)
the Euler and continuity equations for this system decouple :˙R±=−R±∂
∂xR±. Indeed, it is
seen thatR±satisfy essentially the free Euler equation [compare with ( 42) and identify R±
withv]. Consequently, the solution (44)–(46) works here as well.
Recall the previous remark in Section 3.1 on the Schr¨ odinge r group [Galileo ⊕SO(2,1)]:
in one dimension the cubic potential is invariant against th is group of transformations, and in
all dimensions the free theory is invariant [17], [18]. Ther efore a natural speculation is that
the secretly noninteracting nature of the cubic potential i n one dimension is a consequence of
Schr¨ odinger group invariance.
Another interesting fact about a one-dimensional nonrelat ivistic fluid with cubic potential
is that it also arises in a collective, semiclassical descri ption of nonrelativistic free fermions in
one dimension, where the cubic potential reproduces fermio n repulsion [36]. In spite of the
nonlinearity of the fluid model’s equations of motion, there is no interaction in the underlying
fermion dynamics. Thus, the presence of the Schr¨ odinger gr oup and the equivalence to free
equations for this fluid system is an understandable consequ ence.
6.3 General solution for the Chaplygin gas on a line
The general solution to the Chaplygin gas can be found by line arizing the governing equations
(continuity and Euler) with the help of a Legendre transform , which also effects a hodographic
transformation that exchanges the independent variables ( t,x) with the dependent ones ( ρ,θ);
actually instead of ρwe use the sound speed s=√
2λ/ρand instead of θwe use the momentum
p=∂
∂xθ.
Define
ψ(p,s) =θ(t,x)−t˙θ(t,x)−x∂
∂xθ(t,x). (253)52 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
From the Bernoulli equation we know that
˙θ=−1
2p2+1
2s2. (254)
Thus
ψ(p,s) =θ(t,x) +t
2(p2−s2)−xp (255)
and the usual Legendre transform rules govern the derivativ es.
∂ψ
∂p=tp−x (256a)
∂ψ
∂s=−ts (256b)
It remains to incorporate the continuity equation (237) who se content must be recast by
the hodographic transformation. This is achieved by rewrit ing equation (237) in terms of
s=√
2λ/ρ:
∂s
∂t+p∂s
∂x−s∂p
∂x= 0. (257)
Next (257) is presented as a relation between Jacobians:
∂(s,x)
∂(t,x)+p∂(t,s)
∂(t,x)−s∂(t,p)
∂(t,x)= 0 (258a)
which is true because here ∂x/∂t =∂t/∂x = 0. Eq. (258a) implies, after multiplication by
∂(t,x)/∂(s,p)
0 =∂(s,x)
∂(s,p)+p∂(t,s)
∂(s,p)−s∂(t,p)
∂(s,p)
=∂x
∂p−p∂t
∂p−s∂t
∂s. (258b)
The second equality holds because now we take ∂s/∂p =∂p/∂s = 0. Finally, from (255), (256)
it follows that (258b) is equivalent to
∂2ψ
∂p2−∂2ψ
∂s2+2
s∂ψ
∂s= 0. (258c)
This linear equation is solved by two arbitrary functions of p±s(p±sbeing just the Riemann
coordinates)
ψ(p,s) =F(p+s)−sF′(p+s) +G(p−s) +sG′(p−s). (259)
In summary, to solve the Chaplygin gas equations, we choose t wo functions FandG,
constructψas in (259), and regain s(=√
2λ/ρ),p(=∂
∂xθ), andθfrom (255), (256). In
particular, the solution (243), (244) corresponds to
F(z) =G(−z) =±z
2klnz (260)
where the sign is correlated with the sign of t.Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 53
6.4 Born-Infeld model on a line
Since the Born-Infeld system is related to Chaplygin gas by t he transformation described in
Section 4.4, there is no need to discuss separately Born-Inf eld solutions. Nevertheless, the
formulation in terms of Riemann coordinates is especially s uccinct and gives another view on
the Chaplygin/Born-Infeld relation.
The Riemann coordinates R±for the Born-Infeld model are contructed by first defining
1
c∂
∂xθ=p/c= tanϕp
a/ρc= tanϕρ (261)
and
R±=ϕp±ϕρ. (262)
The 1-dimensional version of the equations of motion (130), (131), that is, (240), (241) can be
presented as
˙R±=−c(sinR∓)∂
∂xR±. (263)
The relation to the Riemann description of the Chaplygin gas can now be seen in two ways:
a nonrelativistic limit and an exact transformation. For th e former, we note that at large c,
ϕp≈p/c,ϕρ≈a/ρcso that

Moreover, the equation (263) becomes, in view of (264),
1
c˙RChaplygin
± =−RChaplygin
∓1
c∂
∂xRChaplygin
± (265)
so that (252) is regained. On the other hand, for the exact tra nsformation we define new
Riemann coordinates in the relativistic, Born-Infeld case by
R±=csinR±. (266)
Evidently (263) implies that R±satisfies the nonrelativistic equations (252), (265) when R±
solves the relativistic equation (263). Expressing R±andR±in terms of the corresponding
nonrelativistic and relativistic variables produces a map ping between the two sets. Calling
pNR,ρNRandpR,ρRthe momentum and density of the nonrelativistic and of the re lativistic
theory, respectively, the mapping implied by (266) is

ρNR=1

(p2

As can be checked, this maps the Chaplygin equations into the Born-Infeld equations. But
the mapping is not canonical.
We record the infinite number of constants of motion, which pu t into evidence the (by now
obvious) complete integrability of the Born-Infeld equati ons on a line. The following quantities
are time-independent:
I±
n=acn−1/integraldisplay
dx(ϕp±ϕρ)n
sinϕρcosϕp, n= 0,±1,... (268)
The nonrelativistic limit takes the above into (250), while expressing I±
nin terms of R±
according to (266) shows that the integrals in (268) are expr essible as series in terms of the
integrals in (250).
In the relativistic model ρneed not be constrained to be positive (negative ρcould be
interpreted as antiparticle density). The transformation p→ −p,ρ→ −ρis a symmetry and
can be interpreted as charge conjuguation. Further, pandρappear in an equivalent way. As
a result, this theory enjoys a duality transformation:
ρ→ ±a
c2p p → ±c2
aρ . (269)
Under the above, both the canonical structure and the Hamilt onian remain invariant. Solutions
are mapped in general to new solutions. Note that the nonrela tivistic limit is mapped to the
ultra-relativistic one under the above duality. Self-dual solutions, with ρ=±a
c2p, satisfy
˙ρ=∓c∂
∂xρ (270)
and are, therefore, the chiral relativistic solutions that were presented at the end of Section 3.2.
In the self-dual case, when pis eliminated from the canonical 1-form and from the Hamilto nian
with the help of (269), one arrives at an action for ρ, which coincides (apart from irrelevant
constants) with the self-dual action, constructed some tim e ago [37]

6.5 General solution of the Nambu-Goto theory for a (d=1)-
brane (string) in two spatial dimensions (on a plane)
The complete integrability of the Chaplygin gas and of the Bo rn-Infeld theory, as well as the
relationships between the two, derives from the fact that th e different models descend by fixing
in different ways the parameterization invariance of the Nam bu-Goto theory for string on a
plane. At the same time, the equations governing the planar m otion of a string can be solved
completely. Therefore it is instructive to see how the strin g solution produces this Chaplygin
solution [21].Lectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 55

we define light-cone combinations X±=1√

parameterization X+=ϕ0≡τ. After suppressing the superscripts on ϕ0andX1, we construct
the Nambu-Goto Lagrange density as

There still remains the reparameterization freedom of repl acingϕby an arbitrary function
ofτandϕ; this freedom may be used to set u= 0, Π = −1. Consequently, in the fully
parameterized equations of motion Eq. (276d) disappears; i nstead of (276a) and (276c), we

This completes the description of a string moving on a plane. But we need to convert this
information into a solution of the Chaplygin gas, and we know from Section 4.3 that this can
be accomplished by a hodographic transformation: instead o fXandθas a function of τand
ϕ, we seekϕas a function of τandX, and this renders θto be a function of τandXas well.
The density ρis determined by the Jacobian |∂X/∂ϕ |.

7 Towards a Non-Abelian Fluid Mechanics
Fluid mechanics and fluid magnetohydrodynamics may very wel l describe the long-wavelength
degrees of freedom in a quark-gluon plasma. Moreover it is pl ausible that the group (color)
degrees of freedom remain distinct in that regime, so that on e should incorporate them in
the fluid approximation. In this way one is led to think about c onstructing non-Abelian fluid
mechanics and (color) magnetohydrodynamics. In this secti on we describe an approach to this
task [38]. In the course of development, we encounter and sol ve an interesting mathematical
problem: how to parameterize a non-Abelian vector potentia l so that the non-Abelian Chern-
Simons density becomes a total derivative, and the volume-i ntegrated Chern-Simons term is
given by a surface integral. Obviously this is the non-Abeli an generalization of the similar
Abelian problem, which is solved by presenting the Abelian v ector potential in Clebsch form.
So we shall determine the non-Abelian version of the Clebsch parameterization.
7.1 Proposal for non-Abelian fluid mechanics
We review our Lagrange density for relativistic Abelian flui d mechanics (144):
L=−jµaµ−f(/radicalbig
jµjµ). (292)
The equation of state is encoded in the function f. For free fluid motion f(/radicalbigjµjµ) =c/radicalbigjµjµ.
Herejµis the matter current and aµis an auxilliary 4-vector, which is presented in the form
aµ=∂µθ+α∂µβ . (293)
The time component a0, involving time derivatives, determines the canonical 1-f orm; the
spatial components aare in the Clebsch parameterization, as is needed for overco ming the
obstacle created by a Casimir invariant of the fluid in the alg ebra (14), (16). Another way of
characterizing the parameterization of the vector ais that it casts the Chern-Simons density
ofa, namely, a·∇×ainto total derivative form: ∇θ·(∇α×∇β) =∇·(θ∇×a).
For a non-Abelian generalization, it is plausible to suppos e that the current 4-vector ac-
quires an internal symmetry index: Jµ
a; correspondingly, the auxiliary 4-vector must also
acquire an internal symmetry index: Aa
µ. It remains to give a rule for parameterizing Aa
µ,
which generalizes the Abelian rule (293).
Our proposal – and it is a speculative one, since at this stage we have no derivation
from microscopic considerations – is that Aa
µshould be written in a form so that its non-
Abelian Chern-Simons density, CS( A) =AadAa+1
3fabcAaAbAc, is a total derivative ( fabcare
the structure constants of the group). This leads us to the pu rely mathematical problem of
constructing a parameterization for a non-Abelian vector t hat ensures this property.60 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
7.2 Non-Abelian Clebsch parameterization
(or, casting the non-Abelian Chern-Simons density into tot al derivative form)
We enquire whether it is possible to parameterize the non-Ab elian 1-form, Aa, such that the
Chern-Simons 3-form is a total derivative (is exact):
CS(A) =AadAa+1
3fabcAaAbAc= dΩ. (294)
That this should be possible follows from the observation th at the left side of (294) is a 3-form
on 3-space; hence it is closed, because a 4-form does not exis t in 3-space. [Of course on a 4-
dimensional space the exterior derivative of (294) is propo rtional to the non-Abelian anomaly
(Chern-Pontryagin density) [13].] But a closed form is also exact, at least locally; this justifies
the right side of (294).
How this works in the Abelian case has already been explored i n Sections 2.4 and 2.5: the
Clebsch parameterization (58), (60) for Aleads to the desired result. But the generalization
of (58), (60) for a non-Abelian 1-form is not evident. Howeve r, at the end of Section 2.5, an
alternative approach is presented, wherein the Abelian 1-f orm is projected from a non-Abelian
pure gauge 1-form. This construction can be generalized to t he non-Abelian case and yields
the sought-for parameterization.
The mathematical problem can therefore be formulated in the following way: For a given
group H, how can one construct a potential Aa
µ= (Aa
0,Aa
i)such that the non-Abelian Chern-
Simons integrand CS(A)is a total derivative? Here we shall only sketch the solution to the
problem, referring those interested to Ref. [38] for a detai led discussion.
In the solution that we present, the “total derivative” form for the Chern-Simons density of
Aais achieved in two steps. The parameterization, which we find , directly leads to an Abelian
form of the Chern-Simons density:
AadAa+1
3fabcAaAbAc=γdγ (295)
for someγ. Then Darboux’s theorem [10] (or usual fluid dynamical theor y [11]) ensures that
γcan be presented in Clebsch form, so that γdγis explicitly a total derivative.
We begin with a pure gauge g−1dgin some non-Abelian group G(called the Ur-group)
whose Chern-Simons integral coincides with the winding num ber ofg.
W(g) =1
16π2/integraldisplay
d3rCS(g−1dg) =1
24π2/integraldisplay
tr(g−1dg)3(296)
We consider a normal subgroup H⊂G, with generators Ia, and construct a non-Abelian
gauge potential for Hby projection:
Aa∝tr(Iag−1dg). (297)
WithinH, this is not a pure gauge. We determine the group structure th at ensures the
Chern-Simons 3-form of Aato be proportional to tr( g−1dg)3. Consequently, the constructedLectures on (Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian) Fluid Mechanic s (and d-Branes) 61
non-Abelian gauge fields, belonging to the group H, carry quantized Chern-Simons number.
Moreover, we describe the properties of the Ur-group Gthat guarantee that the projected
potentialAaenjoys sufficient generality to represent an arbitrary poten tial inH.
Since tr(g−1dg)3is a total derivative for an arbitrary group (although this f act cannot in
general be expressed in finite terms [39]) our construction e nsures that the form of Aa, which is
achieved through the projection (297), produces a “total de rivative” expression (in the limited
sense indicated above) for its Chern-Simons density.
Conditions on the Ur-group G, which we take to be compact and semi-simple, are the
following. First of all Ghas to be so chosen that it has sufficient number of parameters t o
make tr(Iag−1dg) a generic potential for H. Since we are in three dimensions, an H-potential
Aa
ihas 3×dimHindependent functions; so a minimal requirement will be
dimG≥3 dimH . (298)
Secondly we require that the H-Chern-Simons form for Aashould coincide with that of g−1dg.
As we shall show in a moment, this is achieved if G/H is a symmetric space. In this case, if
we split the Lie algebra of Ginto theH-subalgebra spanned by Ia,a= 1,...,dimH, and the
orthogonal complement spanned by SA,A= 1,...,(dimG−dimH), the commutation rules
are of the form
[Ia,Ib] =fabcIc(299a)
[Ia,SA] =haABSB(299b)
[SA,SB] =N haABIa. (299c)
(ha)ABform a (possibly reducible) representation of the H-generators Ia. The constant N
depends on normalizations. More explicitly, if the structu re constants for the Ur-group G
are named ¯fabc, a,b,c = 1,...,dimG, then the conditions (299a–c) require that ¯fabcvanishes
whenever an odd number of indices belongs to the orthogonal c omplement labeled by A,B,.. .
Moreover,fabcare taken to be the conventional structure constants for Hand this may render
them proportional to (rather than equal to) ¯fabc.
We define the traces of the generators by
tr(IaIb) =−N1δab,tr(SASB) =−N2δAB
tr(IaSA) = 0. (300)
We can evaluate the quantity tr[ SA,SB]Ia= trSA[SB,Ia] using the commutation rules. This
immediately gives the relation N1N=N2.
Expanding g−1dgin terms of generators, we write
g−1dg= (IaAa+SAαA) (301)
which defines the H-potentialAa. Equivalently
Aa=−1
N1tr(Iag−1dg) (302)62 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)
From d(g−1dg) =−g−1dgg−1dg, we get the Maurer-Cartan relations
Fα≡dAa+1
2fabcAbAc=−N
2haABαAαB
dαA+hαBAAaαB= 0. (303)
Using these results, the following chain of equations shows that the Chern-Simons 3-form for
theH-gauge group is proportional to tr( g−1dg)3:
1
16π2(AadAa+1
3fabcAaAbAc) =1

=−1
48π2N1trg−1dgd(g−1dg)
=1
48π2N1tr(g−1dg)3. (304)
In the above sequence of manipulations, we have used the Maur er-Cartan relations (303),
which rely on the symmetric space structure of (299a–c), and the trace relations (300), along
withN1N=N2.
We thus see that/integraltext
CS(A) is indeed the winding number of the configuration g∈G. Since
tr(g−1dg)3is a total derivative locally on G, the potential (302), with the symmetric space
structure of (299a–c), does indeed fulfill the requirement o f making CS( A) a total derivative.
It is therefore appropriate to call our construction (302) a “non-Abelian Clebsch parameteri-
zation”.
In explicit realizations, given a gauge group of interest H, we need to choose a group G
such that the conditions (298), (299a–c) hold. In general th is is not possible. However, one can
proceed recursively. Let us suppose that the desired result has been established for a group,
which we call H2. Then we form H⊂Gobeying (299a–c) as H=H1×H2, whereH1is the
gauge group of interest, satisfying dim G≥3 dimH1. For this choice of H, the result (304)
becomes
CS(H1) + CS(H2) =1
48π2N1tr(g−1dg)3(305)
But since CS( H2) is already known to be a total derivative, (305) shows the de sired result:
CS(H1) is a total derivative.

7.3 Proposal for non-Abelian magnetohydrodynamics
We return to our construction of a Lagrange density for non-A belian kinetic theory. As

where for simplicity we have taken the “free” form for f. When the desired group is SU(2), g
is anO(5) group element, as detailed in Section 7.2.
Magnetohydrodynamics is achieved by introducing a further interaction with a dynamical
gauge potential Aa

We expect that the Lagrangian (314) will describe non-Abeli an magnetohydrodynamics,
namely the dynamics of a fluid with non-Abelian charge couple d to non-Abelian fields. [The
Abelian version of (314) does indeed describe ordinary magn etohydrodynamics.] This gluon
hydrodynamics can be useful for non-Abelian plasmas such as the quark-gluon plasma. Details
of (314) and possible applications are under further study.66 R. Jackiw —(A Particle Field Theorist’s)

Space-time mixing: θω(t,r) =θ(T,R),T=t+ω·r+1
2ω2θ(T,R) =t+ω·r+ω2R2/4T,
R=r+ωθ(T,R) =r+ωR2/2T. Squaring the second equation gives R2=r2+ω·rR2/T+
ω2R4/4T2. Multiplying the first equation by R2/TgivesR2=tR2/T+ω·rR2/T+ω2R4/4T2.

1Bunch Length Measurements at the
ATF Damping Ring in April 2000

1 Introduction
We want to accurately know the energy spread and bunch length depen-
dence on current in the ATF damping ring. One reason is to know the
strength of the impedance: From the energy spread measureme nts we know
whether or not we are above the threshold to the microwave ins tability, and
from the energy spread and bunch length measurements we find o ut the ex-
tent of potential-well bunch lengthening (PWBL). Another r eason for these
measurements is to help in our understanding of the intra-be am scattering
(IBS) effect in the ATF. The ATF as it is now, running below desi gn energy
and with the wigglers turned off, is strongly affected by IBS. T o check for
consistency with IBS theory of, for example, the measured ve rtical beam
size, we need to know all dimensions of the beam, including th e longitudinal
one. But beyond this practical reason for studying IBS, IBS i s currently a
hot research topic at many accelerators around the world (se ee.g.Ref. [1]),
and the effect in actual machines is not well understood. Typi cally, when
comparing theory with measurements fudge factors are neede d to get agree-
ment (see e.g.Ref. [1]). With its strong IBS effect, the ATF is an ideal
machine for studying IBS, and an indispensable ingredient f or this study is
a knowledge of the longitudinal phase space of the beam.
The results of earlier bunch lengthening measurements in th e ATF can
be found in Refs. [2]-[4]. Measurements of current dependen t effects, espe-
cially bunch length measurements using a streak camera, can be difficult
to perform accurately. For example, space charge in the came ra itself can
lead to systematic errors in the measurement results. It is i mportant the
results be accurate and reproducible. In the measurements o f both Decem-
ber 1998[3] and December 1999[4], by using light filters, the authors first
checked that space charge in the streak camera was not signifi cant. And
then the Dec 99 authors show that their results agree with tho se Dec 98,
i.e.on the dates of the two measurements the results were reprodu cible.
2Since IBS is so strong in the ATF, in the Dec 99 measurements an
attempt was made to estimate the impedance effect using the fo llowing
method: First, from the form of the energy spread vs.current measure-
ments it was concluded that the threshold to the microwave in stability was
beyond 2 mA. Then, by dividing the bunch length vs.current curve by
the energy spread vs.current curve the effect of IBS was divided out, and
PWBL was approximated. The assumption is that PWBL can be tre ated as
a perturbation on top of IBS. The result was that this compone nt of bunch
lengthening was found to grow by 7-15% (depending on the rf vo ltage) be-
tween the currents of .5 mA and 2 mA, about a factor of 3 less tha n the total
bunch length growth. The conclusion was that the inductive c omponent of
the impedance was small, in fact much smaller than had been co ncluded
earlier in Ref. [2].
Electron machines generally run in a parameter regime where IBS is an
insignificant effect, and impedance measurements and calcul ations have also
normally been performed for machines where IBS is unimporta nt. To sim-
plify the interpretation of the impedance from bunch length measurements,
in April 2000 the energy spread and bunch length measurement s of Dec
99 were repeated, but now with the beam on a linear (difference ) coupling
resonance, where the horizontal and vertical emittances we re approximately
equal. For this case the effect of IBS was expected to be very sm all. An
energy spread vs.current measurement under such conditions will also al-
low us to more clearly see whether we reach the threshold to th e microwave
instability. As part of the April data taking we, in addition , repeated the
earlier off-coupling measurements, in order to check the rep roducibility of
the earlier results. In this report we present and analyze th is recent set of
data, and compare it with the results of the earlier measurem ents, particu-
larly those of Dec 99.
The measurements and analysis of data in this report follow e ssentially
the same procedure as was used in Ref. [4]. In the present repo rt we will
try to be relatively brief. The comparison of our results wit h IBS theory
will be given in a following report. For more details about th e measurement
and analysis techniques presented in this report, the reade r should consult
Ref. [4].
2 Energy Spread Measurements
Energy spread vs.current measurements were performed on March 21-22,
2000, with the beam both on and off the coupling resonance, for rf volt-
3ages of Vc= 150 kV and 300 kV. As usual the beam width is measured
after extraction on a thin screen in a dispersive region. The data is fit to a
Gaussian, yielding the rms energy spread σδ(see Fig. 1). (For these mea-
surements the energy spread was not calibrated, but from ear lier experience
we expect the zero value results to be near 5 .5×10−4, which allows us to
estimate the scaling factor.) In the figure the points in the p lots are fit to
y= 5.5(1 + a·xb).
Figure 1: Energy spread as a function of current for various v alues of cavity
voltage. The measurements were performed on 3/21-22/00. Th e curves give
a simple fit to the data.
We note from Fig. 1 that, as expected, on the coupling resonan ce the
energy spread is almost independent of current, only increa sing by 3-4%
by 2.5 mA. With the vertical beam size enlarged, the effect of i ntra-beam
scattering becomes small. Off the coupling resonance the cha nge by 2.5 mA
is 35-40%. We also note in (a) and (b) that there is no evidence of the
threshold to the microwave instability, whose signature wo uld be a kink in
the data. If there is no microwave instability on resonance, then almost
certainly there is no microwave instability off resonance, s ince in the latter
case the longitudinal phase space volume is increased, whic h tends to sta-
bilize the beam. Finally, note that the 150 kV and 300 kV on-re sonance
results are statistically identical, as would be expected i n the case of no mi-
4crowave instability and negligible intra-beam scattering . Note also that for
the off-resonance results the energy spread is slightly larg er for the higher
voltage. This would be expected, since a higher voltage mean s a smaller
bunch length, which increases intra-beam scattering, whic h, in turn, more
increases the energy spread.
The measurements were repeated for the nominal (off-resonan ce,Vc=
300 kV) settings on April 13 and 14 (see Fig. 2), just before an d after the
bunch length measurements to be presented in the next sectio n. We note
that the results of the two measurements are essentially the same, and they
are also essentially identical to the March results with the beam off-resonance
andVc= 300 kV (Fig. 1c). This indicates that the machine condition s, as
concerns intra-beam scattering (the horizontal and vertic al beam sizes; the
lattice), are the same during all these measurements, as wel l as during the
off-coupling, bunch length measurements presented below.
Figure 2: Energy spread as a function of current off-resonanc e, atVc= 150
and 300 kV. Measurements were performed April 13 (a) and 14 (b ).
Finally, in Fig. 3 we compare the fits to the Vc= 150 and 300 kV,
off-coupling measurements with those to measurements—unde r the same
conditions—taken in Dec 99 and presented in Ref. [4]. We note that the
corresponding curves for the two dates are significantly diff erent. For ex-
ample, for Vc= 300 kV and I= 1 mA the new results are 8% higher than
the earlier results. This suggests that (when off coupling) t he machine, con-
cerning intra-beam scattering, was significantly different for the two dates.

3 Bunch Length Measurements
For the streak camera measurements first, to make sure that sp ace charge in
the camera itself was not a problem, tests were made at the hig hest current
(2.5 mA) with different light filters, and an appropriate filte r was chosen.
Then, the main data taking process consisted of storing a hig h current beam
and measuring the longitudinal bunch profile ∼50−70 times at fixed time
intervals, while the current naturally decreased. Each tra ce, along with its
DCCT current reading, was automatically saved to disk. To le t in more
light at the lower currents the light filter was automaticall y switched half-
way through each data taking sequence. Measurements were pe rformed with
the beam on and off the coupling resonance, and with 4 different settings of
rf voltage.
As before the streak camera traces were fit to an asymmetric Ga ussian,
given by
λz=A√
2πσ0exp/bracketleftbigg
−1
2(z−¯z)2
σ2
0(1±t)2/bracketrightbigg
z≷¯z , (1)
with the convention that more negative values of zare more to the front of
the bunch. The fitting constants are A,σ0, ¯z, and the asymmetry factor t
(a constant, platform offset is also included in the fit). Note that the full-
width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of the fit is zfwhm = 2√
2ln 2σ0and the
rms bunch length σz=σ0/radicalbig
1 + (3 −8/π)t2. For small t,σz≈σ0. The skew
moment, defined by s=/angbracketleft(z− /angbracketleftz/angbracketright)3/angbracketright/σ3
z, is given by s≈4t/√
2π, for small
t. Note also that from physical considerations, we generally expect t >0,
i.e.the leading edge of the distribution to be steeper than the tr ailing edge.
6Four example scans, with their fits, are shown in Fig. 4. We not e that the
fits are reasonably good, though we see some, what are likely a nomalous,
deviations from the fits in the data. We have lots of data and we will use
the statistical Method of Maximum Likelihood to do the error analysis[5].
Figure 4: Four example scans, and their asymmetric Gaussian fits, for the
beam on the coupling resonance with Vc= 250 kV. The horizontal axis has
been shifted so that all peaks are at z= 0.
The results for the beam on the coupling resonance and for rf v oltages
Vc= 150, 200, 250, 300 kV are given in Figs. 5-8, and for the beam o ff
the coupling resonance in Figs. 9-12. Shown are the paramete rs of the
asymmetric Gaussian fit to the measured profiles: the area (a) , the rms
σ0(b), the asymmetry factor t(c), and an estimate of the relative rms
error in the fit (d). Plots (a)-(c) give the zeroth, the second , and the third
moments of the charge distribution. The line in (b) is a strai ght line fit
to the bunch length, where each data point has been weighted i nversely by
the variance in the fit to the asymmetric Gaussian [note that f or the fit
y=x·mfit+bfit]. The line in (c) is a straight line fit to y=x·mfit.
In the (a) part of the figures we note that the area is roughly pr opor-
tional to current—with the constant of proportionality diff erent for the low
and the high current results due to the two different light filt ers used—
though with some scatter in the data. In (b) we note that the sc atter in the
measured bunch lengths is quite significant, especially at t he lower currents,

fits to the results (with zero offset in the case of the asymmetr y parameter).

11with an rms deviation from the straight line fit varying from . 35-.80 mm.
In (c) we see even more scatter in the asymmetry factor. We exp ect this
parameter to start at zero, and to increase with increasing c urrent, and the
data does seem to support an increasingly positive asymmetr y factor with
current. The results are near .1/mA, and slightly decrease w ith voltage. We
will show in a future ATF report that this parameter gives us i nformation
about the higher mode losses and the real part of the impedanc e. Note
that the measured asymmetry factors off-resonance are about half of those
on-resonance, qualitatively consistent with the bunch bei ng longer, and the
higher mode losses being less, when off-resonance. Finally, in (d) we note
that the relative rms error in the fit to the asymmetric Gaussi an is∼4-10%.
There is more noise than in the measurements of Dec 99, reflect ed in the
fact that the fits then were twice as good.
3.1 Comparisons and Discussion
In Fig. 13 we reproduce the linear fits to the bunch length para meter for the
measurements with the beam off the coupling resonance (the so lid lines).
Note that these fits are not valid below I/lessorsimilar.4 mA, where there is no data;
in fact, the bunch lengths are expected to drop below these li nes for lower
currents. In (a) the results are compared with the on-coupli ng results; in (b)
with off-coupling results of Dec 99. In all cases the bunch len gth curves move
up as the voltage moves down, as expected. Also, in (a) the bun ch length
is larger off the coupling resonance than on, due to the effect o f intra-beam
scattering, as expected.
We expect σz(0), for Vc= 200 kV, to be 6.2 mm. For the case of on-
resonance, we find the value at the origin of the curves to be 3. 7%, 10.4%,
4.6%, 5.0% larger than the zero value calculation for Vc= 150, 200, 250,
300 kV, respectively. For the case of off-resonance the value s are 4.5%, 6.4%,
15.3%, 27.1% larger than the zero value calculations. We exp ect the real
bunch lengths to follow curves with negative curvature, so a n overshoot is
not unexpected. Note that these overshoots are significantl y less than the
∼35% for the Dec 99 results (see Fig. 13b), which, at the time, m ade us
suspect a scaling error in the streak camera results.
In Sec. 2 we saw that, for the on-coupling case, the energy spr ead was
almost independent of current. For example, by I= 2 mA the energy
spread has grown by only 3%. Here we see that at I= 2 mA the bunch
length has grown by 33-39%, depending on the rf voltage. Sinc e IBS on
the coupling resonance is very weak, this growth must be almo st entirely
due to PWBL. Thus, it appears that, after all, PWBL is a big fac tor in the
12Figure 13: Linear fits to measurements with the beam off the cou pling
resonance (solid lines). The curves represent results for Vc= 150 kV, 200 kV,
250 kV, and 300 kV. The dashes in (a) are the on-coupling resul ts; those
in (b) are results of Dec 99. Note that for each case the bunch l ength
monotonically decreases as the voltage is increased.
ATF, and the machine must have a large inductive component of impedance.
Note that this conclusion is different from that reached in De c 99, where
PWBL was estimated by dividing the bunch lengthening off-res onance by
the energy spread growth. There it was found, for example, th at the PWBL
contribution to the bunch length at 2 mA, divided by the contr ibution at
.5 mA, ranged from 7-15% depending on voltage. Here the equiv alent (on-
coupling) results range from 18-26%, a marked difference. Or , if we try to
compare the present on and off-coupling results using the sam e prescription,
we find that off-coupling the results are increases of 21.4% an d 6.1%, for
respectively the case Vc= 150 and 300 kV; on-coupling the results are 23.5%
and 20.1%. These also don’t agree. In making the earlier appr oximate
calculation of PWBL we had assumed that PWBL can be treated as a
perturbation on top of IBS. That is, we assumed that (1) PWBL d oesn’t
affect IBS significantly and (2) the bunch length increase due to PWBL can
be added on top of that due to IBS, and the result would be simil ar whether
on or off resonance. It appears that these assumptions taken t ogether are
wrong and the interaction of IBS and PWBL is, in fact, more com plicated.
In Fig. 13b we note that the new off-coupling results are very d ifferent
from those of Dec 99. We saw in Sec. 2 above that the energy spre advs.
current was different for the two measurement days, presumab ly due to a
difference in the IBS effect, so we would expect differences als o in bunch
length, since it is also affected by IBS. In addition the bunch length (below
13threshold) is affected by the impedance through PWBL. To say m ore, quan-
tatively, about such measurements we would need a better und erstanding of
how IBS and PWBL interact and, in addition, a knowledge of the transverse
beam sizes and optics on the days of the measurements.
4 Conclusions
We have performed energy spread and bunch length measuremen ts with
the beam on and off the coupling resonance. Our energy spread r esults
show that, with the beam on-resonance, the effect of intra-be am scattering
is small, and that the threshold to the micro-wave instabili ty is beyond
2.5 mA. Our on-resonance bunch length results show that pote ntial well
bunch lengthening is large—by 2 mA the bunch has lengthened b y 33-39%—
indicating that the impedance has a large inductive compone nt.
Our energy spread and bunch length measurements with the bea m off-
resonance give results that are very different from those of D ec 99. This
suggests that the horizontal and vertical emittances and/o r the lattice were
different than during the earlier measurements, resulting i n a different intra-
beam scattering effect. These measurements should be repeat ed both on
and off the coupling resonance, under the same conditions—ve rifiable by
finding the same energy spread vs.current curves—to see if the bunch
length measurements are reproducible. We have assumed here that the
streak camera measurements are sufficiently accurate for our purposes. The
results appear to be consistent, but we have no independent w ay of checking
their accuracy. (We might suggest installing in the ATF, som etime in the
future, a bunch length measuring apparatus that works in a co mpletely
different way, such as the spectrum approach of Ref. [6], as an independent
check on the streak camera results.)
In the future, when doing any such current-dependent measur ements
the energy spread vs.current measurement should always be performed,
as a specifier of the intra-beam scattering machine conditio ns, and since it
is a rather quick and simple measurement. To study specifical ly impedance
questions, measurements should be performed with the beam o n the coupling
resonance, where intra-beam scattering is very weak. With t he beam off-
resonance, bunch length and energy spread measurements are important
ingredients, along with the horizontal and vertical emitta nces and optics, for
attempting a full understanding of intra-beam scattering a nd its interaction
with the impedance in the ATF damping ring.

Abstract
The self-energy screening correction is evaluated in a mode l in which the
effect of the screening electron is represented as a first-ord er perturbation of
the self energy by an effective potential. The effective poten tial is the Coulomb
potential of the spherically averaged charge density of the screening electron.
We evaluate the energy shift due to a 1 s1/2, 2s1/2, 2p1/2, or 2 p3/2electron
screening a 1 s1/2, 2s1/2, 2p1/2, or 2p3/2electron, for nuclear charge Z in the
range 5 ≤Z≤92. A detailed comparison with other calculations is made.

1I. INTRODUCTION
The self-energy correction to the electron-electron inter action is one of the many con-
tributions of order α2to an atomic binding energy. These corrections, shown as Fey nman
diagrams in Fig. 1, are often called self-energy screening c orrections, and for inner shells they
are the largest of all fourth-order radiative corrections. They give rise to three terms, which
are represented in Fig. 2, when one distinguishes between th e reducible and irreducible part
of the diagram in Fig. 1 (A).
A first attempt to evaluate the contribution of such diagrams from bound state quantum
electrodynamics (BSQED) was made in 1991 [1] in an approxima tion in which the electrons
not associated with the self-energy loop were represented a s a perturbing potential (Fig. 3).
The potential was obtained by taking a spherical average of t he electron wave function,
and calculating the potential associated with the resultin g charge density. More recently,
direct evaluations of the diagrams of Fig. 1 for the ground st ate of two-electron ions have
been made [2–7], and the method of [1] was used to provide the s elf-energy correction to
several interactions [8]. In this paper we report on a comple te calculation of the self-energy
screening in the approximation of [1], for all combinations of pairs of the states 1 s1/2, 2s1/2,
2p1/2, or 2p3/2in the range 5 ≤Z≤92.
Terms corresponding to the diagram in Fig. 3(A) are obtained by varying the self-energy
expression with respect to the external potential of the bou nd-state wave function, leading
to the introduction of the first-order correction to the wave function in the potential δV.
Terms corresponding to the diagram in Fig. 3(B) are obtained by varying the expression
for the self-energy with respect to the external potential o f the Green’s function and while
those in Fig. 3(A′) correspond to variation with respect to the energy of the bo und state.
The expression for the self energy in a large class of potenti alsV(x) can be written as

where H=α·p+V+βis the Dirac Hamiltonian. The indices landmare summed from 1 to
3, and the index µis summed from 0 to 3. The contour C Hextends from −i∞to 0−iǫand
from 0 + iǫto +i∞, with the appropriate branch of bchosen in each case. For the present
calculation, we assume that the potential V(x) is close to a pure Coulomb potential, except
for a small correction δV(x), which is not necessarily spherically symmetric. Indeed s ome
applications of this method have been made with non-spheric ally-symmetric perturbations
[8]. We obtain the screening correction to the self-energy b y making the replacements
V(x)→V(x) +δV(x), (3a)
ϕn(x)→φn(x) +δφn(x), (3b)
G(x2,x1, z)→G(x2,x1, z) +δG(x2,x1, z) (3c)
En→En+δEn (3d)
in Eqs. (1) and (2) and retaining only the first-order correct ion terms. In the Eqs. (1) and
(2), and (3a) to (3d) above, we use the symbols G,En,ϕnfor the exact quantities in the
potential V(x), while the symbols G,En,φnrepresent the corresponding exact quantities in
a pure Coulomb potential V(x). The same conventions are employed throughout the paper.
We denote the operations on the unperturbed self energy that lead to these three corrections
byδφ,δG, and δE, respectively. In particular, we employ the notation
3δφ=δφn∂
∂ϕn(4)
δG=δG∂
∂G(5)
δE=δEn∂
∂En, (6)
and the total correction is the sum
δφn∂
∂ϕn+δG∂
∂G+δEn∂
∂En(7)
in which the partial differentiation symbol denotes formal d ifferentiation with respect to the
indicated variable, with the result evaluated with the unpe rturbed functions.
In Sec. II we write expressions for the first-order perturbat ion corrections to the energy,
the wave function and the Green’s function. In Secs. III, IV, and V we derive the expressions
for the various contributions to the screened self-energy c orresponding to the three diagrams
of Fig. 3. In a series of three earlier papers [10–12], we have derived and tested a method
of analytically isolating divergent contributions to the s elf-energy diagram in coordinate
space. In Secs. IV and V we derive from this earlier work the ge neralizations of the analytic
subtraction terms which are necessary to make all contribut ions to the self-energy screening
finite. The numerical results are presented in Sec. VI, and Se c. VII is the conclusion.
II. PERTURBATION EXPANSION
Replacing the potential V(x) byV(x) +δV(x), where δV(x) is spherically symmetric,
changes the wave functions, the energy, and the Green’s func tion, which appear in Eqs. (1)
and (2). From standard perturbation theory the first-order e nergy correction is

We are concerned with the first-order perturbation in this ex pression that arises from
variation of the external potential. The self energy depend s on the potential through three
quantities that appear in Eq. (17) and (18), the wave functio nFn,i(x), the energy eigenvalue
En, and the Green’s function Gij
κ(x2, x1, z). The three corrections are denoted by δφEL,δEEL,
andδGEL, respectively, with the total
δEL=δφEL+δEEL+δGEL. (19)

B. Low-order matrix elements
The lower-order expectation values involving the first-ord er correction to the wave func-
tionδφncan be evaluated by direct numerical integration. However, to get an independent
check of the precision of the calculation, particularly whe n strong cancellation occurs, we
derive a number of useful expressions in which δφndoes not occur. The energy perturbation
is given by the conventional expression

Since we are considering here the case where the unperturbed potential is the Coulomb po-
tential with known wave functions, we can simplify the calcu lation of these matrix elements.
In particular, we interpret the expressions in Eqs. (24) and (25) as perturbations of the wave
function on the left-hand side to give
/angb∇acketleftφn|β|δφn/angb∇acket∇ight=/angb∇acketleftδβφn|δV|φn/angb∇acket∇ight (26)
and
/angb∇acketleftφn|V|δφn/angb∇acket∇ight=/angb∇acketleftδVφn|δV|φn/angb∇acket∇ight, (27)
where δβφnandδVφnare first-order corrections to the wave function due to pertu rbations β
andV, respectively. These are simply calculated as the coefficien ts ofδin the power series
expansions in δof the wave functions for the appropriately modified Hamilto nians
Hβ=α·p+ (1 + δ)β+V
=α·p+ (1 + δ)βm+V (28)
and
HV=α·p+β+ (1 + δ)V . (29)
In (28) the second line restores the mass dependence of the Ha miltonian in order to exhibit
the dependence of the modified Coulomb wave functions on δ.
8The wave function correction δβφnis obtained by replacing mby (1 + δ)minφnand
calculating the coefficient of the term linear in δ, which is equivalent to writing
δβφn=m∂
∂mφn (30)
and leads to
/angb∇acketleftφn|β|δφn/angb∇acket∇ight=m
2∂
∂m/angb∇acketleftφn|δV|φn/angb∇acket∇ight, (31)
where the derivative acts only on the wave function. A furthe r simplification is possible
based on the mass dependence of the wave function in (31). If xis replaced by x/min the
second line of (28), then the mass factors out of the Hamilton ian, and the wave function is
independent of m. As a result, we have

The derivative of the potential in (32) is calculated analyt ically, and the derivatives in (35)

The matrix elements listed above are evaluated by Gaussian q uadrature, and the code was

13Our strategy for dealing with poles in the low-energy part is to calculate the line integral
overzof the difference between the complete integrand and the pole terms, and add the pole
terms integrated analytically. In the unperturbed self-en ergy calculation, the singularities
along the real axis in the interval (0 ,1) are poles, and the appropriate prescription for
integration over zyields the principal value integral in Eq. (17). In the prese nt context,
there are double poles as well, so it is necessary to reexamin e the original derivation to
obtain the correct prescription. It follows from the discus sion in Ref. [9] that the integration
overzcan be written as
Re/integraldisplay
C+dzU(z), (57)
where C +is a contour that extends from z= 0 to z=Enabove the real axis in the complex z
plane. Here we use a method based on an analytic evaluation of the pole terms, as described
in Ref. [14]. With the notation Upfor the pole terms of U, we have

The pole at z=En, the endpoint of the integral over z, does not cause any problem, as
follows from the discussion in Sec. IIIC [see Eqs. (37) to (40 )]. The relevant integrals for

E. Numerical evaluation of the first-order correction to the Green’s function for the
low-energy part
Numerical evaluation of the Coulomb Green’s functions in th is paper is based on the
explicit formulas given, for example, in Eqs. (A.16) and (A. 17) of Ref. [9], together with
the numerical algorithms described in Ref. [15]. The first-o rder correction to the Green’s
function in Eq. (16), for the range of arguments relevant to t he low-energy part, is evaluated
by numerical integration over x3, where the interval of integration is divided into four subi n-
tervals: (0 , y1), (y1, y2), (y2, y3), and ( y3,∞). Defining p= 2√
1−z2,y0= 3, and assuming
x2≤x1, we choose y1= min( y0, px2),y2= min(max( y0, px2), px1), and y3= max( y0, px1).
In the first interval we make the substitution x3=ξ3, and integrate over ξby Gauss-Legendre
quadrature with 12 to 26 integration points. In the second an d third interval we also do
Gauss-Legendre integration, with 17 to 33 and 11 to 21 points , respectively. We use 6 to
18 point Gauss-Laguerre integration for the remaining inte rval. The integrations over the
15second and fourth intervals are the least accurate. For a 2 selectron at Z= 20 the integral
over (y1, y2) has an error of a few parts in 106in the worst case.
F. Reduced Green’s Function
In the preliminary version of this calculation [10], a purel y numerical method of evalu-
ating the reduced Green’s function was employed. However, w hile that method is adequate
at high Z, it gives unsatisfactory results for the 2s state when Z≤20, so a new method
was developed that yields better precision. As a check of the coding of the later method,
the results of the two methods were compared and are in agreem ent within a relative differ-
ence of 10−6over a wide range of the variables. Both methods are briefly de scribed in the
following subsections.
1. Evaluation of the Reduced Green’s Function by numerical p ole removal
Eq. (48) can be written as
Gij
κ(x2, x1, En+ǫ) =−fn,i(x2)fn,j(x1)
ǫ
+GR,ij
κ(x2, x1, En) +O(ǫ). (65)
As an immediate consequence of this relation, we have
1
2[Gij
κ(x2, x1, En+ǫ) +Gij
κ(x2, x1, En−ǫ)]
=GR,ij
κ(x2, x1, En) +O(ǫ2), (66)
so the reduced Green’s function can be easily obtained from t he full Green’s function by
symmetric interpolation of the energy variable. We form a li near combination of two such
interpolations in order to obtain a result with an error of or derǫ4rather than ǫ2. In
particular, we have
q
2[Gij
κ(x2, x1, En+ǫ) +Gij
κ(x2, x1, En−ǫ)]
16+(1−q)
2[Gij
κ(x2, x1, En+ǫ′) +Gij

+C4/bracketleftBig
q ǫ4+ (1−q)ǫ′4/bracketrightBig
+O(ǫ6) +O(ǫ′6), (67)
where the choice
ǫ′=/parenleftBiggq
q−1/parenrightBigg1
2
ǫ; q >1 (68)
provides
q ǫ2+ (1−q)ǫ′2= 0 (69)
with the parameter qfree to vary in the range (1 ,∞). The choice q=4
3gives the Lagrange
interpolation formula with equally spaced evaluation poin ts:ǫ′= 2ǫ. With the choice in
Eq. (68), the fourth-order term is proportional to
/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingleq ǫ4+ (1−q)ǫ′4/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle=q
q−1ǫ4. (70)
The coefficient of ǫ4is 4 for equally spaced points and approaches 1 as q→ ∞ . As a
compromise between a large coefficient for qnear 1 and the minimum coefficient as q→ ∞,
with a correspondingly larger roundoff error, we employ the v alueq= 10. The interpolation
interval is taken to be ǫ= 0.02 (En+1−En) where EnandEn+1are the Dirac eigenvalues
for principal quantum number nandn+1 for the same κ. This interval avoids overlap with
the nearest pole of the Green’s function.
2. Direct evaluation of the Reduced Green’s Function
The method developed for the present work is similar to that o f Hylton [13,16], but
differs in the details of its implementation. From Eq. (65), i t is evident that we obtain the
reduced Green’s function by expanding the various componen ts in the explicit expression for
the radial Green’s function in powers of ǫ=z−Enand keeping only the final combinations
of terms that are of order 1. To implement this, at each step in the numerical evaluation
17of the reduced Green’s function we calculate only the coeffici ents of the leading two terms
in the power series in ǫand discard the higher-order terms. In certain cases, it is n ecessary
to begin with three terms in the expansions, because the lead ing term either vanishes or
cancels an equal leading term in forming a difference. As sugg ested by the form of the
following equations, many of the coefficients follow from com binations of coefficients that
appear earlier in the calculation.
The code for the numerical calculation was written by modify ing the existing code for the
radial Green’s function described in Refs. [15] and [17], so only a few details that illustrate
the approach are given here. We define the radial quantum numb ernr=n−|κ|. Expansions
are needed for z:
z=z0+z1ǫ+z2ǫ2+···
z0=En;z1= 1;z2= 0, (71)
forc=√

c=c0+c1ǫ+c2ǫ2+···
c0=γEn
nr+λ;c1=−nr+λ
γ;c2=−1

where γ=Zαandλ=√κ2−γ2, forw=γ/c:

w0=γ

and for ν=γz/c:
ν=ν0+ν1ǫ+ν2ǫ2+···
ν0=z0w0;ν1=z0w1+z1w0;
ν2=z0w2+z1w1. (74)
Expressions that appear in the definitions of the radial Gree n’s functions include λ−ν:
18λ−ν=−nr−ν1ǫ−ν2ǫ2+···
=/braceleftBig−ν1ǫ−ν2ǫ2+···ifnr= 0

where γE= 0.577. . .is Euler’s constant. The recursion relations used to calcul ate the power
series for the Whittaker functions are treated in a similar m anner. For example, for the
power series evaluation of Mν+(1/2),λ(2cx) by means of the recursion relations in Eq. (D.2)
of [15], we write
T(m) =T0(m) +T1(m)ǫ+···
T0(0) = 1; T1(0) = 0
T0(m+ 1) =(m−nr)2c0x
(m+ 2λ+ 1)(m+ 1)T0(m)
T1(m+ 1) =(m−nr)2c0x
(m+ 2λ+ 1)(m+ 1)T1(m)
+[(m−nr)c1−ν1c0]2x
(m+ 2λ+ 1)(m+ 1)T0(m) (77)
The termination of the power series for the leading term in Eq . (77) at m=nrcorresponds
to fact that the leading term in Eq. (65) is proportional to th e bound-state wave function.
The calculation of the reduced Green’s function in this work is based on the application
of two-term expansions in ǫ, as described above, to the numerical evaluation of the comp lete
Green’s function (see Appendix D of Ref. [15]). The numerica l value of the reduced Green’s
function is just the collection of terms with combined order 1 inǫ.
19G. Numerical evaluation of the first-order correction to the wave function
The first-order correction to the wave function, given by Eq. (12), is evaluated with the
aid of the reduced Green’s function as described in Sec. IIIF . The numerical integration in
Eq. (12) is divided into 3 segments:

1−E2nis the coefficient of the argument in the exponent that governs the
behavior of the integrand for large values of the argument, x1= min ( xp,3), and x2=
max (xp,3). The first and second integrals are evaluated by means of 30 point Gauss-
Legendre quadrature and the third is evaluated with 15 point Gauss-Laguerre quadrature.
The accuracy of the perturbed wave function calculated acco rding to Eq. (78) has been tested
in the Coulomb case by comparison to the result obtained by nu merical differentiation of
the Coulomb wave function.
For values of the argument of the first-order correction to th e wave function near the
origin, we found that greater numerical accuracy and speed c ould be obtained with a nu-
merical evaluation based on the expansion in powers of x. This expansion is described in
Appendix B.
IV. HIGH ENERGY PART
The high-energy part, given by the integral in Eq. (2), must b e regularized, since it is
formally infinite. We employ the Pauli-Villars regularizat ion scheme, following the method of
Refs. [10,12] to isolate and remove the divergent contribut ions. In Ref. [12] we demonstrated
that suitable numerical convergence can be achieved throug h the use of a term-by-term
20subtraction method. This particular method has the advanta ge that it does not require a
mix of coordinate-space and momentum-space calculations a s do earlier methods, but works
entirely within coordinate space. In this method, the high- energy part EH, given by Eq. (2),
is separated into two parts: EHAandEHB. The divergences are all contained in EHAand can
be calculated completely analytically, while EHBis finite and is treated numerically. In this
section we describe the method used to evaluate δEHB, while the method to compute δEHA
is discussed in Sec. V; the total is
δEH=δEHA+δEHB. (79)
.

Refs. [9,12,14,18], Fn,i(x) are radial components of the bound-state wave function as b efore,
andκnis the spin-angular momentum quantum number of the bound sta ten. The ex-
pressions for the free Green’s function radial components Fij
κ(x2, x1, z) and their derivatives
can be found in [12] and those of the Coulomb Green’s function can be found in [9]. The
methods we used for summation over angular momentum κand for numerical integrations
are identical to those described in [12] and will not be repea ted here. We also found that
the convergence of the numerical integration was much bette r than in the case of the un-
perturbed self-energy. We thus did not use the extra subtrac tion term K(0,2)
D(x2, x1, z) that
was necessary in [12] to obtain good convergence at low Z. The high-energy remainder
for the self-energy screening is obtained from Eq. (80) as de scribed in Sec. II as the sum
δφEHB+δGEHB+δEEHB. In the three following subsections we derive the expressio ns that
are used to obtain δφEHB,δGEHB, and δEEHBfrom Eqs. (80) to (84).
A. Wave function correction
To obtain the expression for the high-energy remainder for t he wave function correction,
we need the functional derivatives of Eqs. (81) to (84) with r espect to the radial wave
functions Fn,i(x). For the full expression (81) we have

Dirac wave function and the derivative of its first-order cor rection in the potential δV. The
differential equations for the large and small components of the unperturbed wave function
are (see, e.g., [10], Appendix A)
d
dxfn,1(x) =−1 +κn
xfn,1(x) + [1 + En−V(x)]fn,2(x)
23d
dxfn,2(x) = [1 −En+V(x)]fn,1(x)−1−κn
xfn,2(x),
(90)
which yield the wave function derivatives from the analytic expressions for the wave function.
We obtain analogous expressions for the perturbation of the wave-function components in
the potential V(x) +δV(x). Retaining only first-order terms in δV(x), we obtain
d
dxδfn,1(x) =−1 +κn
xδfn,1(x) + [1 + En−V(x)]δfn,2(x) + [δEn−δV(x)]fn,2(x)
d

xδfn,2(x) + [δV(x)−δEn]fn,1(x).(91)
B. Green’s function correction
We do the corresponding calculation for the high-energy ter m to account for variation of
the Coulomb Green’s function under a change of the potential . Since the Coulomb Green’s
function has no poles on the high energy integration contour (which lies on the imaginary
axis), we may directly apply Eq. (16) to obtain

24C. Numerical evaluation of the first-order correction to the Green’s function for the
high-energy part
The evaluation of the the Green’s function correction to the high-energy part is the
most difficult and time consuming part of the present calculat ion because of the additional
non-trivial integration over x3and the necessity of evaluating integrals over a product of
two Coulomb Green’s functions in Eq. (92). The calculation i s facilitated somewhat by
subtracting and adding an additional term that closely appr oximates the term in Eq. (92).

D. Energy correction
We evaluate δEEHB, given by
δEEHB=δEn∂
∂EnEHB, (100)
by numerical differentiation of EHB. We employ an effective infinitesimal displacement of
the energy variable obtained by making the replacement of En(Zα) byEn[(Z±ǫ)α], with
ǫ= 0.002. The symmetric derivative formula with this displaceme nt has an uncertainty of
a few parts in 106. One expects that numerical integration errors, as discuss ed in [12], are
slowly varying functions of Zand largely cancel in forming the derivative, leading to an
accurate result for the derivative. Evidently, however, th e error in terminating the sum over
κdoes not cancel as strongly, which may lead to significant unc ertainties for some Zandnℓ.
We have thus found it preferable to differentiate directly th e running term in the sum over
angular momenta in Eq. (80). To study this effect, we compare n umerically∂

where u= (1/2)(1/t−t) and K(i,j)
φ,κare defined in Eqs. (85) to (88). The summation is
terminated when the remainder estimate as described in Ref. [12] is smaller than a predefined
26cutoff value. Although the two methods of calculation conver ge to the same value for a very
small cutoff (10−10), the results with a larger cutoff can disagree by a few parts i n 10−4.
Since very small cutoff values would lead to other problems wh en r is close to 1, we evaluate
the energy derivative by the term-by-term method. Other ill ustrations of this problem are
discussed in Sec. VIA.
V. ANALYTIC TERMS
In this section we evaluate analytically the terms that are s ubtracted in the numerical
calculation described in Sec. IV for each of the three contri butions to the screened self-energy.
In Refs. [10,12], with this application in mind, we were care ful not to obscure the origins
ofVandEnthrough the use of the Dirac equation. The individual terms c orresponding to
the three diagrams of Fig. 3 are thus obtained by direct differ entiation.
A. Wave-function correction
The analytic portion of the wave-function correction follo ws from Refs. [10,12]. In each
of the terms E(i,j)
H, we calculate the variation with respect to a change in the wa ve function
based on the explicit dependence on the wave function, and ob tain

from the differential equation for φnand the fact that the first-order correction to the
wave function is orthogonal to the unperturbed wave functio n. Hence, the wave function
correction is separately finite.

This term arises entirely from E(1,0)
H, which is linear in the potential in the Green’s
function. Taking into account the fact that /angb∇acketleftφn|δV|φn/angb∇acket∇ight=δEn, we obtain

which cancels the corresponding term in Eq. (113). The total expression
δEHA=δφEHA+δEEHA+δGEHA (116)
is thus finite as expected.
VI. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Coulomb tests
In order to check the accuracy of the numerical calculation, the equations derived in
the previous sections, and the parallelized code, we compar e the calculations obtained by
numerical differentiation of the one-electron self-energy function F(Zα) to the results of
29the method presented in this paper using δV(r) =−ǫ α/r as a perturbing potential. This
method, proposed in Ref. [1], is very efficient, as each indivi dual contribution to the screened
self-energy can be checked independently. The overall agre ement between the results of these
two methods of calculation is good, although differences bet ween some contributions can be
several times the combined uncertainties based only on the a pparent convergence of the
numerical integration. These additional errors come from t he numerical problems described
in Sec. IVD. An illustrative example is the wave function cor rection. One can compare the
term-by term derivative with respect to Zin the wave function to the derivative obtained
from two converged sums, as is done in Eqs. (101) and (102). Th ere is also an independent
calculation based on the first-order correction to the wave f unction from Eq. (9). The
evolution of this sum for smaller and smaller values of the cu toff error are displayed in
Fig. 4. One can see that although the two calculations conver ge to the same limit when the
cutoff is as small as 10−15, the results follow very different paths. Only the term-by-t erm
differentiation method follows the result obtained from eva luation of the first-order correction
to the wave function independently of the cutoff. This consti tutes a very demanding test of
our numerical evaluation of the first-order correction to th e wave function. The difference
between the two calculations is never smaller than 8 ×108, which is the error from numerical
uncertainties of the full Green’s function and the error in t he numerical derivative.
To improve the numerical precision, we have employed a subdi vision of the integration
overrinto regions with 0 < r < 0.4 and with 0 .4< r < 1, as described in Ref. [12]. This
division provides an accurate evaluation that does not requ ire functional evaluations with
values of rtoo close to 1. In this way we where able to obtain an accurate c omparison of
all contributions in the high-energy part.
A few such problems remain in the test calculations in the low -energy part at low Z. We
did not attempt to improve the accuracy, because we have enou gh accurate cases to check
the code and numerical procedures. From the tests we have per formed, it is clear that the
calculation based on numerical differentiation is the less a ccurate. However since numerical
differentiation is used in the final result to obtain the reduc ible correction we have increased
30the total uncertainty of both the pure Coulomb test and spher ically-averaged potential of
the next section accordingly.
B. Results with spherically-averaged one-electron potent ial
The calculations of interest for physical applications are based on realistic potentials
obtained from the spherically-averaged potential of Eq. (C 2) of Appendix C. All results
presented here are given in terms of the scaled function defin ed by
Enℓj,n′ℓ′j′=α2(Zα)3
πn3Fnℓj,n′ℓ′j′(Zα)mc2(117)
All 16 possible total scaled functions F(Zα) for the self-energy screening of nℓelectron
by an′ℓ′electron, 1 ≤n, n′≤2, 0≤ℓ, ℓ′≤1 are given in Table II and in Figs. 5 to 8. It can
be seen that the uncertainty at low Zcan be as high as 30% for the screening of 2 pelectrons
atZ= 10, or as low as 10−6. These functions can be used to evaluate the self-energy
screening correction to any atom with two to ten electrons, i n a shell n≤2. As an example
we treat the case of lithiumlike uranium. With the results pr esented here we can compute
the self-energy screening correction for all three states 1 s22s, 1s22p1/2and 1s22p3/2. A first
approximation is obtained for transition energies by negle cting the core relaxation. The
self-energy screening correction to 2 pj→2stransition energy is evaluated using Eq. (117)
as ∆Ej= 2E2pj,1s−2E2s,1s, where the factor of two accounts for the fact that there are t wo
1selectrons screening n= 2 electron. A better approximation, which takes into accou nt the
relaxation of the core electrons, and provides a value for th e total binding energy is given
byE1s22s= 2(E2s,1s+E1s,2s+E1s,1s) and E1s22pj= 2(E2pj,1s+E1s,2pj+E1s,1s). The results of
these calculations are presented in Table IV together with a ll other calculations known to
date.
It should be noted that the present method is equivalent to th e Coulomb approximation
in certain cases. If one considers only the Coulomb contribution in the interaction between
the two electrons in Fig. 2, the present method provides the e quivalent contribution to the
31ground state of two-electron ions. This follows from the fac t that between sstates, only the
monopole part of the 1 /r12operator contributes. This radial contribution of the mono pole
part is exactly given by the potential in Eq. (B10). Moreover the retarded part of the
Coulomb interaction vanishes in this case. Finally, the exc hange correction only involves the
spin of the two electrons and corresponds to a multiplicatio n of the function F1s,1s(Zα) by
two.
The above arguments can be extended for all cases where an ele ctron of arbitrary quan-
tum number interacts with a selectron. The selectron couples only to the monopole term
in the angular expansion of the Coulomb interaction. If, how ever, the electrons are not
identical, then there is an exchange term with additional mu ltipole terms. In this case,
the retardation contribution to the Coulomb interaction is also non-zero. Obviously in the
relativistic case the magnetic part of the electron-electr on interaction should be considered.
Because of these considerations we can compare our results t o the Coulomb part of
the calculation done by the G¨ oteborg Group. In Fig. 5 we plot also the function F(Zα)
from Refs. [3,19]. The difference between the two calculatio ns is displayed on Fig. 9. The
agreement is very good for medium- Z, while the difference between the two calculations
increases with increasing Z, which is due to the inclusion of finite nuclear size in Refs. [ 3,19],
while the present results are for a point nucleus. This compa rison thus provides the finite
nuclear size effect on the two-electron self-energy. The diff erence at low Z(5 and 10) are
due to numerical inaccuracies. Since no uncertainties are g iven in Ref. [19], which contains
more accurate values than Ref. [3], we assume an uncertainty of 1 in the last digit (note
thatF(Zα) in Ref. [19] is two times ours.)
The low- Zbehavior of the self-energy correction for to the Coulomb in teraction to
F1s,1s(Zα) is known from the work of Araki [22] and Sucher [23], and 1 /Zexpansions from
Drake [25] to be

32while the magnetic part is

We cannot directly compare our value for F1s,1s(Zα) with those of Yerokhin et al. [2,4],
because their results also include the magnetic and retarda tion contribution to the self
energy and our model does not. This correction contributes e ven at very low Zsince it
contains the free-electron anomalous magnetic moment from the vertex correction. The
difference between the total contribution (for point nucleu s) from Ref. [4] and the present
work is plotted on Fig. 10 for 20 ≥Z. Evidently, the magnetic interaction contribution to
the two-electron self-energy is much larger than the contri bution of the finite nuclear size. A
simple fit of the difference between the present result and the one in Ref. [4] with a second-
order polynomial yields 0 .124 for the contribution of the anomalous magnetic moment, i n
good agreement with the value in Eq. (119). From the figure, it is evident that for Zas
low as 5 the higher-order terms still make a significant contr ibution. On the same figure
we also plot the Breit contribution from Ref. [19], which is i n agreement with the difference
between Yerokhin et al. and the present work for Z≥20, and matches reasonably well the
extrapolated values even down to Z= 1.
VII. CONCLUSION
In this paper we describe a method of approximately evaluati ng two-electron radiative
corrections that can easily be generalized to the direct eva luation of the correction repre-
sented by the diagrams in Fig. 2. Accuracy and correctness of the method and programs
is assessed by extensive comparisons with numerical deriva tives of well-known one-electron
self-energy results for a Coulomb perturbation. It is demon strated that the method can work
down to Z= 5 in some cases with reasonable accuracy. With the use of a mo re accurate
Green’s function evaluation and convergence acceleration techniques, following Refs. [20,21],
it is likely that calculation can be performed for He. The res ults presented in the present
33paper also provides approximate self-energy screening cor rections in any ion with less than
10 electrons, thus providing a valuable, QED-based replace ment for methods based on the
Welton approximation [26,27] or other, less efficient, scree ning schemes as used in atomic
structure codes. It is also equivalent to the direct Coulomb contribution for some states of
helium-like ions.
This method could also be used with numerical Dirac-Fock pot entials and wave functions
from one of the codes in Refs. [28,29]. Preliminary tests sho w that good numerical accu-
racy can be achieved. Such an approach would provide more acc urate self-energy screening
corrections for the outer shells of very heavy transuranic e lements or for inner hole binding
energies [30].
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The numerical calculations presented here have been made po ssible by a generous com-
puter time allocation on the IBM SP2 at the Centre National Un iversitaire Sud de Calcul
(Montpellier, France). Some of the calculations and comput er program development were
done on the NIST SP2.
APPENDIX A: NUMERICAL TEST
As a consistency check on the computer code, we carry out a tes t calculation in which
the correction terms are generated by numerical differentia tion of the unperturbed Coulomb
self energy with respect to the nuclear charge Z. This should give the same result as the
screening calculation where both the unperturbed potentia l and the perturbing potential
are the Coulomb potential, with an appropriate normalizati on factor.
In other words, we consider the potential
V(x) =−(Z+ ∆Z)α
x(A1)
and let
34V(x) =V0(x) +δV(x) (A2)
where
V0(x) =−Zα
x
δV(x) =−∆Zα
x(A3)
If the level shift E(Z) is known as a function of Zfor the Coulomb potential, then the exact
correction due to δV(x) isE(Z+ ∆Z)−E(Z) and the first-order correction in ∆ Zis
δE(Z) = ∆ Zlim
δZ→0E(Z+δZ)−E(Z)
δZ
= ∆Z∂
∂ZE(Z)≡∆ZE′(Z) (A4)
Thus the first-order perturbation due to the potential δV(x), with unit charge shift ∆ Z= 1
should be exactly equal to the derivative with respect to Zof the Coulomb level shift E′(Z).
APPENDIX B: ORIGIN EXPANSION OF THE FIRST-ORDER CORRECTION
TO THE WAVE FUNCTION
This origin expansion is made with the use of the differential equation for the first-order
correction to the wave function in Eq. (91). However this exp ansion has a different form
depending on whether one uses a Coulomb perturbing potentia l or a potential created by
an other electron.
1. Coulomb perturbation potential
In the case of a Coulomb perturbing potential, the correctio n to the wave function must
have a logarithmic contribution, so as to cancel the α/xterm in the lowest order of the
development. We write

The determinant of the linear system in Eq. (B4) is given by (2 λ+i)iand is nonzero for
i >0. By solving order after order, all higher-order terms can b e expressed as a function of
λ(2)
0,γandκn. The expressions are all relatively simple since the unpert urbed wave function
does not have a logarithmic contribution. The non-logarith mic terms are obtained by first
defining a series expansion for the unperturbed wave functio n

where we have used Eq. (B3), and which again has a zero determi nant. Explicit expressions
of the n= 1 and n= 2 wave functions can be found in Ref. [18,15] (Note that in Re f. [18]
36the norm N3of the 2 p3/2wave function in Eq. (A3) should be N3=γ5−2δ′/[2Γ(5−2δ′)]).
Requiring the compatibility of the two equations enables to calculate λ(2)
0as
λ(2)
0=(κn+λ)N1ϕ(0)

2λ. (B7)
One can then obtain a relation between ζ(2)

Allζcoefficients can thus be expressed as a function of ζ(2)
0. These coefficients must be
determined from the normalization condition of the perturb ed wave function. This obliges
to explicitly write ζ(i)
n,n >0, as a function of ζ(2)
0rather than keeping them as function of
ζ(i)
n−1. The latter expressions are simpler, but the former are very large. We use Mathematica
to build the equations obeyed by the ζ(i)
nanλ(i)
ncoefficients, evaluate the explicit expressions
ofζ(i)
n, extracting the part which depends on ζ(i)
0and the one which doesn’t, and generating
FORTRAN code. The code can have hundreds of lines for each pie ce of ζ(i)

A comparison for a small value of xof the expansion and of the value obtained by the use of
the reduced Green’s function as described in Sec. IIIG yield two values of ζ(2)
0, one for each
component of the wave function. A comparison of the two value s provide a good check of the
algebra. We compute ζ(j)
iandλ(j)
icoefficients up to j= 3. The value of ζ(2)
0obtained from
each component of the wave function at x= 0.0005 agree with an accuracy of 13 significant
figures, for n= 1 and n= 2,κn=−1, 1,−2.
2. Electron screening potential
The screening potential described in Eq. (C2) leads to an ori gin expansion rather different
than the one described in the preceding section. In order to e valuate the origin expansion of
37the first-order wave function correction we first evaluate th e screening potential expansion.
Using the origin expansion of the wave function and Eq. (C2), one can easily show that
δV(j)(x) =δV(j)(0) +x2λ(j)/parenleftBigg∞/summationdisplay

and expanding the two radial component of the wave function i n powers of x.
With such an expansion the shape of the origin expansion of th e first order correction to
the wave function is

We obtain the equation for λ(j)
0by looking at the coefficients of x2λ(j)+λ. We get for the
equation of order 1 /x:
(−1−2λ(j)−κn−λ)λ(1)

Abstract
We study the evolution of asexual microorganisms with small mutation rate in fluc-
tuating environments, and develop techniques that allow us to expand the formal
solution of the evolution equations to first order in the muta tion rate. Our method
can be applied to both discrete time and continuous time syst ems. While the be-
havior of continuous time systems is dominated by the averag e fitness landscape
for small mutation rates, in discrete time systems it is inst ead the geometric mean
fitness that determines the system’s properties. In both cas es, we find that in sit-
uations in which the arithmetic (resp. geometric) mean of th e fitness landscape is
degenerate, regions in which the fitness fluctuates around th e mean value present a
selective advantage over regions in which the fitness stays a t the mean. This effect
is caused by the vanishing genetic diffusion at low mutation r ates. In the absence of
strong diffusion, a population can stay close to a fluctuating peak when the peak’s
height is below average, and take advantage of the peak when i ts height is above
average.
Key words: dynamic fitness landscape, quasispecies, error threshold, molecular

Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 2 February 20081 Introduction
A major part of all living creatures on Earth consists of prok aryotes and
phages. These organisms replicate mainly without sexual re combination [1],
and typically produce offspring on a time-scale of hours. Bec ause of their short
gestation times, microbes experience ubiquitous environm ental changes such
as seasons on an evolutionary time scale. Most of the DNA base d microbes
have developed error correction mechanisms, such limiting the amount of dele-
terious mutations they experience. In a changing environme nt, however, small
mutation rates might severely curtail a species’ ability to react to new sit-
uations. The observed genomic mutation rates of asexual org anisms such as
bacteria and DNA viruses lie typically around 2 −4×10−3[2], implying that a
few out of every thousand offspring get mutated at all. It has b een proposed [3]
that even lower genomic mutation rates are not observed simp ly because they
would stifle a species’ adaptability in a changing environme nt. While this is
certainly a reasonable assumption, we do not currently have a deep under-
standing of what types of fitness landscapes require what mut ation rates, and
whether a small mutation rate is always disadvantageous in a changing envi-
ronment. In this paper, we address the effects of a changing en vironment on
a population evolving in a small mutation rate. Our main obje ctive is to de-
velop an expansion to first order in the mutation rate which en ables us to find
approximate solutions for infinite asexual populations evo lving in arbitrary
dynamic landscapes.
Due to the nature of the expansions that we use, we are led to a c omparison
between discrete time and continuous time systems. Our main result from
the comparison is that in dynamic fitness landscapes, contin uous and discrete
time systems have qualitative differences in the low mutatio n rate regime.
This difference can manifest itself, for example, in populat ions that replicate
either continuously or synchronized in discrete generatio ns. Given that all
other factors are equal, the continuously replicating stra ins will have a selective
advantage. As a generic result for both continuous and discr ete time, we find
that a low mutation rate can enable a population to draw a sele ctive advantage
from fluctuations in the landscape.
Our analysis is based on the quasispecies model [4–6]. The qu asispecies lit-
erature was for a long time focused on static fitness landscap es, but recently
more emphasis has been put on the aspect of changing environm ents [3,7–14].
Here, we mainly use methods developed in Ref. [12]. The paper is structured
as follows. In Sec. 2, we demonstrate how systems with discre te as well as con-
tinuous time can be treated to first order in the mutation rate . In Sec. 3, we
discuss the expansions we have found in Sec. 2. We treat the ca se of a vanish-
ing mutation rate in Sec. 3.1, and that of a very small but posi tive mutation
rate in Sec. 3.2. In Sec. 3.3, we study the localization of a po pulation around a
2oscillating peak, and in Sec. 3.4, we discuss the problems we encounter when
approximating a continuous time system with a discrete time system. We close
our paper with concluding remarks in Sec. 4.
2 Analysis
2.1 The model
Consider a system of evolving bitstrings. The different bits trings ireplicate
with rates Ai, and they mutate into each other with probabilities Qij. Through-
out this paper, we assume that the probability of an incorrec tly copied bit is
uniform over all strings, and denote this probability by R. The mutation ma-
trixQ= (Qij) is then given by
Qij= (1−R)l/parenleftbiggR
1−R/parenrightbiggd(i,j)
, (1)
where d(i, j) is the Hamming distance between two sequences iandj. The
matrix Qis a 2l×2lmatrix, and it is in general difficult to handle numeri-
cally. Therefore, in the following we impose the additional assumption that all
sequences with equal Hamming distance from a given referenc e sequence have
the same fitness. This is the so-called error class assumptio n [15]. The matrix
Qis then an ( l+ 1)×(l+ 1) matrix,
Qij=min{i,j}/summationdisplay
k=max {i+j−l,0}/parenleftiggj
k/parenrightigg/parenleftiggl−j
i−k/parenrightigg
(1−R)l/parenleftbiggR
1−R/parenrightbiggi+j−2k
. (2)
The generality of our results is not affected by this choice, b ecause the calcu-
lations we present in the following can be performed with eit her of the two
matrices Q, and they lead to very similar expressions.
Let us write down the quasispecies equations for sequences e volving in con-
tinuous or discrete time and in a static fitness landscape. We introduce the
replication matrix A= diag( A0, A1, . . .). The continuous differential equation
of the (unnormalized) concentration variables y= (y0, y1, . . .) then reads
˙y(t) =QAy(t). (3)
The discrete difference equation, on the other hand, can be wr itten as
y(t+ ∆t) = [∆ tQA+λ]y(t), (4)
where ∆ tis the duration of one generation, and λgives the proportion of
parents that survive one generation and enter the next one to gether with
3their offspring. Both Eq. (3) and Eq. (4) converge for t→ ∞ towards a se-
quence distribution given by the Perron eigenvector of the m atrixQA. Hence,
for a static landscape the discrete time and the continuous t ime quasispecies
equations are equivalent, as far as the asymptotic state is c oncerned. The dis-
tinction between discrete and continuous time, however, is important when
the fitness landscape changes over time. Consider the situat ion of a dynamic
fitness landscape, represented by a time dependent matrix A(t). Equation (3)
becomes
˙y(t) =QA(t)y(t). (5)
The time-dependent difference equation, on the other hand, r eads
y(t+ ∆t) = [∆ tQA(t) +λ]y(t), (6)
The dynamic attractors of both Eqs. (5) and (6) are not immedi ately obvious,
and therefore we cannot know to what extent the two systems di ffer unless we
perform a more elaborate analysis. Moreover, in a static lan dscape, a nonzero λ
does not affect the asymptotic state of the system, which is wh y it normally is
set to zero in Eq. (4) [16,17]. The situation is different in a d ynamic landscape,
and we have to allow for a non-zero λin general.
2.2 Discrete time
Let us begin our analysis with the discrete system. We set λ= 0, because that
leads to the simplest equation describing a discrete time ev olutionary system
in a dynamic fitness landscape. The more complicated cases wi thλ >0 can be
constructed from the equation for λ= 0, as we will see later on. We address
the equation
y(t+ ∆t) = ∆ tQA(t)y(t). (7)
The solution to this equation is formally given by the time-o rdered matrix
product [12] [using n=t/∆tandA′(ν) = ∆ tA(ν∆t)]
y(n) =T/braceleftiggn−1/productdisplay
ν=0QA′(ν)/bracerightigg
y(0)
=:Ydisc(n)y(0). (8)
In the second line, we have introduced the notation Ydisc(n) for this matrix
product. We will occasionally refer to Ydisc(n) as a propagator , since Ydisc(n)
fully determines the state of the system at time t=n∆t, given an initial state
at time t= 0.
4Ydisc(n) can be evaluated to first order in R. The only dependency of Ydisc(n)
onRis the one in Q. When we expand Q[Eq. (2)] in R, we find
Qij=min{i,j}/summationdisplay
k=max {i+j−l,0}/parenleftiggj
k/parenrightigg/parenleftiggl−j
i−k/parenrightigg
[δβ,0+R(δβ,1−αδβ,0) +. . .], (9)
withα=l−βandβ=i+j−2k. As usual, δi,jdenotes the Kronecker symbol.
The sum collapses into a single term, and we find to first order i nR
Qij= (1−lR)δi,j+ (l−j)Rδi,j+1+jRδi,j−1. (10)
After some algebra, we obtain from that for the matrix Ydisc(n)

This expression fully describes to first order in Rthe state of the system after
ntime steps.
2.3 Continuous time
Let us now turn to the continuous system. We can use the expans ion ofYdisc(n)
to find an expansion for the propagator of the static continuo us case. If the
fitness landscape is static, the solution to Eq. (3) is given b y
y(t) = exp( QAt)y(0). (12)
It is useful to recall that the exponential operator of a matr ix is defined as
exp(QAt) =1+QAt+1
2!(QAt)2+. . . . (13)
We can expand the single terms in that sum separately. Equati on (11) allows
us to write ( QA)kas

5Both the sums in the expression for ( QA)kand the remaining sum in Eq. (13)
can then be taken analytically. We find
/parenleftbigg
exp(QAt)/parenrightbigg
ij= (1−lRA jt)eAjtδi,j+ (l−j)RK[Ajt, Aj+1t]δi,j+1
+jRK[Ajt, Aj−1t]δi,j−1, (15)
where the function K[a, b] is of the form
K[a, b] =a
a−b/parenleftig
ea−eb/parenrightig
. (16)
With Eq. (15), we have an expansion of the propagator of the co ntinuous
system in a static landscape to first order in R. Similarly, we can treat piece-
wise constant landscapes. Under a piecewise constant lands cape we under-
stand a landscape for which we can define intervals I1= [0, t1),I2= [t1, t2),
I3= [t2, t3),. . ., such that the landscape does not change within any of these
intervals. Any dynamic fitness landscape can be approximate d in that way.
The solution to the differential equation for that type of lan dscapes is given
by
y(t) = exp[ QA(tn)(t−tn)] exp[QA(tn−1)(tn−tn−1)]···
···exp[QA(0)t1]y(0). (17)
With the two simplifying assumptions that all intervals hav e the same length
τand that we are observing the system only at the end of an inter val, Eq. (17)
becomes (for n=t/τ)
y(t) =T/braceleftiggn−1/productdisplay
ν=0exp[QA(ντ)τ]/bracerightigg
y(0)
=:Ycont(t)y(0). (18)
The similarity to Eq. (8) is evident. Hence, in analogy to the calculation that
leads from Eq. (10) to Eq. (11), we find in the piecewise consta nt, continuous

6Equation (19) fully determines to first order in Rthe state of the continuous
system after tunits of time have passed.
3 Discussion
With Eqs. (11) and (19), we have expansions for the propagato rs of discrete-
time and continuous time evolving systems in a dynamic fitnes s landscape. In
this section, we will examine these expansions and discuss t heir properties.
3.1 A vanishing mutation rate
ForR= 0, both Ydisc(t) andYcont(t) turn into diagonal matrices. We find
(choosing τ= ∆tandn=t/τ)

This result shows that in a dynamic fitness landscape the disc rete and the
continuous model have not only quantitative, but also impor tant qualitative
differences. While in the continuous case the state of the sys tem at time tis
determined by the exponential of the arithmetic mean of the fi tness landscape
until time t, in the discrete case it is determined by the exponential of t he
geometric mean of the fitness landscape, which can be written as arithmetic
mean of the logarithm of the fitness landscape. The latter cor responds to
results from population genetics [18]. Since arithmetic an d geometric mean
are in general different, the same fitness landscape can have v ery different
effects in a continuous or discrete system for R= 0. Consider a landscape, for
example, with an oscillating sharp peak,
A0(t) =
σ(1−a) for 0 ≤t < T/ 2
σ(1 +a) for T/2≤t < T(23a)
Ai(t) = 1 for 0 < i≤l , (23b)
with 0 ≤a <1 and σ >0.
In the continuous system without mutations, the master sequ ence grows with
the rate A0=σif time is measured in integer multiples of T. Hence, if σ >
1, the peak sequence will always supersede all other sequenc es for t→ ∞.
Contrasting to that, the geometric mean is/tildewideA0=σ√
1−a2. Even for σ >1 it
7is possible to have/tildewideA0<1 ifais large enough, in which case in the discrete
system the master sequence grows slower than all others. Con sequently, it will
be expelled from the population for t→ ∞ . The special case of σ= 1 is
depicted in Fig. 1. There, the fitness landscape becomes flat i n continuous
time, but acquires a hole in discrete time.
3.2 Small non-zero mutation rates
Let us now turn to the case of a small but non-zero R. From the above, we
can expect that there is a qualitative difference between dis crete and con-
tinuous time even for finite R. In order to see this difference, we take the
oscillating sharp peak landscape as a generic example. A two concentration
approximation has proven useful to describe situations wit hσ≫1 [14] but is
not applicable here, since we are particularly interested i n the case σ= 1, for
which the average landscape is flat in continuous time and acq uires a hole in
discrete time.
The analysis of the landscape Eq. (23) is facilitated by its p eriodicity in time
(with period length T). For periodic landscapes, it has been shown in Ref. [12]
that a periodic attractor with period length Texists. Its state at phase φ= 0
(the phase is defined as φ:=tmodT) is given by the principal eigenvector of
themonodromy matrix
X(0) =Y(T), (24)
where Y(t) is the propagator of the system. Equation (24) holds regard less
of continuous or discrete time. The attractor’s state at oth er phases φcan be
calculated in a similar fashion.
In Figure 2, we have displayed the order parameter ms[19,20] in the sharp
peak landscape as a function of Rfor the discrete time and the continuous
time system. The order parameter is given by
ms(t) =1
ll/summationdisplay
i=0xi(t)(l−2i), (25)
where the xi(t) represent the total (normalized) concentration of all seq uences
in error class iat time t. We have calculated the order parameter both from
the full monodromy matrix and from the expansions to first ord er inR. We
find that the expansions give reliable results for small muta tion rates, but
start deviating from the true value as Rapproaches 1 /lT. Note that both
expansions must break down beyond 1 /lT, as both the discrete and the con-
tinuous propagator assume unphysical negative values on th e diagonal when
Rexceeds 1 /lT[Eqs. (11) and (19)].
8From Fig. 2, it is evident that there exists a qualitative diff erence between the
discrete and the continuous time system. In the system with c ontinuous time,
the sequences stay centered around the currently active pea k for arbitrarily
small but non-zero mutation rates, whereas in the system wit h discrete time,
the sequence distribution becomes ever more homogeneous as R→0.
The behavior of the discrete system is easily explained. In t he geometric mean
of the landscape, the peak position is actually disadvantag eous, and hence
the population is driven into the remaining genotype space, which it occupies
homogeneously due to the lack of selective differences. Form ally, the popula-
tion feels the geometric mean only for a vanishing mutation r ate. However, by
continuity, the disadvantage at the peak position will rema in for some small
but non-zero R, which leads to the continuous decay of the order parameter a s
R→0. Interestingly, the order parameter does not decay exactl y to zero, but
to a value slightly below zero. This happens because the popu lation becomes
homogeneously distributed over the whole sequence space ex cept for the po-
sition of the oscillating peak. The resulting small imbalan ce in the sequence
distribution towards the opposite end of the boolean hyperc ube then leads to
a negative order parameter. The inset in Fig. 2 shows that our approximation
predicts this behavior accurately for small R.
Now consider the continuous system. For an infinitesimal R >0, the depen-
dence of the asymptotic state on the initial condition is los t, as we know from
the Frobenius-Perron theorem. Since for R= 0 the evolution of the popula-
tion in time steps of size Tis guided by the flat average landscape, one might
suspect that for infinitesimal R >0 a homogeneous distribution is found as
the unique asymptotic state. This is what we observe for a pop ulation evolv-
ing in a flat static landscape with little mutation. However, the situation in a
dynamic landscape may be different, because the dynamics of t he landscape
has a significant influence on the asymptotic sequence distri bution. In fact, it
is possible that a flat average landscape leads to an ordered a symptotic state
for finite mutation rates R >0. In the next subsection, we will demonstrate
this effect for the oscillating sharp peak.
3.3 Localization around an oscillating peak
We will now have a closer look at the oscillating sharp peak la ndscape, Eq. (23).
We are interested in the case σ= 1, which leads to a degenerate average in
continuous time. First we note some general properties of th e monodromy ma-
trixX(φ) for a periodic landscape with flat arithmetic mean. If X(φ) is given
to first order in R, it reads (assuming the average fitness is 1)
X(φ) = (1−TlR)1+R˜X(φ), (26)
9where ˜X(φ) is independent of the mutation rate Rand contains only the
off-diagonal entries from Eq. (19). Since ˜X(φ) differs from X(φ) only by a
scalar factor and an additional constant on the diagonal, th e eigenvectors
of the former matrix are identical to the ones of the latter ma trix, while the
eigenvalues are related through λi= (1−TlR)+R˜λi. As a consequence, we find
that the asymptotic species distribution is given by the pri ncipal eigenvector of
the off-diagonal matrix ˜X(φ), which is independent of R. If we took terms up
to the kth order of Rinto account in Eq. (19), we would find the higher order
contributions to the eigenvectors up to ( k−1)th order of R. However, with
our first-order approximation, we are only able to calculate the asymptotic
sequence concentrations to 0th order in R.
For small mutation rates R, we can restrict our analysis to the first three error
classes. For the oscillating peak, we find with help of Eq. (19 ) the following
expressions
˜X(φ)≈Texp(T)
0 αφ(aT) 0
lβφ(aT)αφ(aT) 0 2
0 l−1 0
, (27)
where
αφ(ξ) = (2 /ξ)[1−e−ξ/2]eξ|φ−1/2|(28a)
βφ(ξ) =eξ/2e−2ξ|φ−1/2|(28b)
ξ=aT . (28c)
The (unnormalized) asymptotic state follows as
y0
y1
y2
(φ, ξ) =
αφ(ξ)
/radicalig
2(l−1) +α2
φ(ξ)βφ(ξ)l
l−1
. (29)
Now, if the third error class concentration is negligibly sm all compared to the
other two concentrations, the concentrations of the higher error classes can
be neglected as well, and the asymptotic state is approximat ely given by the
concentrations of the first two error classes only. From Eq. ( 29), we can derive
the following criterion for this approximation to be valid,
exp(ξ/2)≫lξ2/4. (30)
Hence, if ξ=aTis large, which means that the fitness fluctuations are large
and slow, the population is exclusively distributed over th e peak and the first
error class. For this case, we find the following simplified de scription of the
10population:
x0(φ, ξ) = 1/slashbigg/bracketleftbigg
1 +/radicalig
lβφ(ξ)/bracketrightbigg
, (31a)
x1(φ, ξ) =/radicalig
lβφ(ξ)/slashbigg/bracketleftbigg
1 +/radicalig
lβφ(ξ)/bracketrightbigg
, (31b)
ms(φ, ξ) = 1−2x1(φ, ξ)/l . (31c)
The last equation implies that in the limit R→0, the order parameter is
always larger than 1 −2/l. This means that although the peak does not have
an average selective advantage, the evolving sequences are attracted to the
peak nonetheless. As long as l >1, the order parameter averaged over one
oscillation cycle is positive , which means that a population can draw a selective
advantage from being close to the peak in comparison to being far away from
it.
In Figure 3A, we display the predicted behavior of the system in a very small
mutation rate, as given by Eq. (31). The observed change in th e sequence
concentrations is explained as follows. During the times at which the peak has
above-average fitness, the sequences on the peak replicate f aster than all others
and hence grow exponentially until the peak’s concentratio n saturates around
one, while all off-peak sequences assume vanishing concentr ations. Similarly,
during the times at which the peak has below-average fitness, the peak’s rela-
tive concentration decays, while the population moves onto the nearest advan-
tageous sequences, which can be found in the first error class . The sequences in
all other error classes are adaptively neutral compared to t he first error class.
Hence, the amount of sequences that move into higher error cl asses is solely
determined by the mutation rate. If the mutation rate is smal l enough, the
diffusion among these neutral sequences becomes negligibly small on the time
scale of the peak oscillations T. Therefore, the population stays mainly within
the first error class until the peak fitness switches back to th e above-average
value. Thus, we find the qualitative behavior of Eq. (31): In a landscape with
a large and slowly oscillating sharp peak and a small mutatio n rate, the pop-
ulation oscillates between the peak sequence and the first er ror class in the
asymptotic state. In short, the population becomes localiz ed close to the peak.
For extremely small mutation rates, Eq. (31) agrees perfect ly with the full
numerical solution. For somewhat larger mutation rates, th e main discrepancy
that arises is a phase shift between the full solution and the approximation
(Figure 3B). The phase shift moves the concentration curves towards earlier
times, i.e., the system becomes more responsive to the chang ing peak as the
mutation rate increases. This is intuitively clear. With a h igher mutation rate,
the first error class will already be occupied to a larger exte nt when the peak
switches to the below-average value, so that the concentrat ion of the one-
mutants can grow faster towards their equilibrium value. Si milarly, when the
peak switches back to the above-average value, the peak sequ ences have a more
11favorable initial concentration, which makes them grow fas ter in comparison
to a lower mutation rate.
Let us shortly extend the above argumentation to broader pea ks, like peaks
with linear flanks of width 1 ≤w≤l:
Ai(t) = max/braceleftbigg
1,w−i
w[A0(t)−1]/bracerightbigg
for all 0 < i≤l. (32)
The sharp peak from above corresponds to a peak of width w= 1. For ar-
bitrary chosen width 1 ≤w≤l, the population gets transported to the wth
error class due to the selection pressure during the below-a verage peak fitness
phases. The wth error class is in that case the boundary of the advantageou s
region. Again, if the mutation rate is sufficiently small, diff usion can be ne-
glected and the population will stay in the wth error class until the peak fitness
switches back to the above-average value. This implies that for peaks of width
w≥l/2, it is possible to have ms(φ)≤0 for some intermediate oscillation
phases. In particular for the maximum width w=l, the order parameter
ms(φ) will oscillate symmetrically around zero.
In this subsection, we have only considered continuous time systems. We have
established that in a dynamic fitness landscape with flat aver age, a population
can draw a selective advantage from peaks that fluctuate arou nd the average
fitness value. The same effect will occur in a discrete time sys tem if we con-
sider the geometric mean of the fitness landscape instead. In other words, in a
landscape with flat geometric mean, a population with a small mutation rate
will draw a selective advantage from a peak that fluctuates ar ound that geo-
metric mean. The origin of that effect is again the vanishing d iffusion, which
causes the population to remain close to the peak when the pea k has a height
below the mean.
3.4 Discrete systems with overlapping generations
When discussing the discrete system in Sec. 3.1 and 3.2, we ha ve set λ= 0,
i.e., we have made the assumption that every sequence can gen erate offspring
only once, and dies before the next generation starts to repl icate. The opposite
extreme is λ= 1, for which no sequence ever dies. With λ= 1, a sequence
can theoretically stay infinitely long in the system (in prac tice, the growth
of new sequences is compensated through an out-flux of old seq uences, but
that is not our concern here. The details of the out-flux do not influence the
unnormalized concentration variables y(t) in Eqs. (3)–(6) [12]). For λ= 1,
Eq. (6) converges to Eq. (5) for ∆ t→0. In other words, for λ= 1 and a small
∆t, Eq. (6) is an approximation to Eq. (5). This fact has been exp loited in
Ref. [12] in order to calculate the continuous system numeri cally. However, it
12has not been evaluated in Ref. [12] to what extend the discret e approximation
behaves qualitatively different from the continuous system .
Let us briefly examine how the discrete equation with λ= 1 fits into the
concepts we have developed so far. For λ= 1, the propagator Ydisc(t) assumes
the form
Ydisc(t) =T/braceleftiggn−1/productdisplay
ν=0[∆tQA(ν∆t) + 1]/bracerightigg
, (33)
which can be rewritten into
Ydisc(t) =T/braceleftigg
1+ ∆tn−1/summationdisplay
ν=0QA(ν∆t) + ∆t2n−1/summationdisplay
ν=0ν−1/summationdisplay
ν′=0QA(ν∆t)QA(ν′∆t)
+···+ ∆tnn−1/productdisplay
ν=0QA(ν∆t)/bracerightigg
. (34)
With the formulae given in Section 2, it is possible to expand this expression
to first order in R. Since the corresponding calculation is tedious, and the
result does not give any new insights, we omit this expansion here. Let us just
consider the zeroth order term,
Ydisc(t) =1+ ∆tn−1/summationdisplay
ν=0A(ν∆t) + ∆t2n−1/summationdisplay
ν=0ν−1/summationdisplay
ν′=0A(ν∆t)A(ν′∆t)
+···+ ∆tnn−1/productdisplay
ν=0A(ν∆t) +O(R). (35)
Compare this expression to Eqs. (21) and (22). For λ= 1, we neither have
the exponential of the averaged landscape, nor do we have an e xpression that
depends solely on the geometric mean of the landscape. We obt ain a mix-
ture between the two cases, and the size of ∆ tdetermines which case we are
closer to. Consequently, we obtain qualitatively wrong res ults from the dis-
crete approximation if the arithmetic and geometric mean of the landscape
differ significantly. Nevertheless, the discrepancies betw een the results can be
restricted to arbitrary small values of the mutation rate if we choose ∆ tsmall
enough.
As an example, consider Fig. 4. There we display the order par ameter in the
oscillating sharp peak landscape obtained from the full con tinuous propaga-
tor, and compare it to the result from the discrete approxima tion for various
values of ∆ t. For a relatively large ∆ t= 2 (n= 50), Eq. (33) gives a poor
approximation of the continuous system. Throughout the who le range of R
there are significant deviations from the full solution. As w e decrease ∆ t(in-
crease n), the approximation moves much closer to the true value of th e order
parameter. Yet, for very small R, the order parameter always decays to zero in
13the approximation, whereas it stays close to one in the full s olution. However
small we choose ∆ t, there will always be some contribution from the geometric
mean at R= 0. That causes the order parameter in the discrete approxim ation
to vanish for this particular landscape.
Contrasting to above situation, however, the differences be tween approxima-
tion and full solution are hardly noticeable in landscapes w here the arithmetic
and the geometric mean have a comparable structure (a peak in the averaged
landscape is also a peak in the geometric mean of the geometri c mean of the
landscape, only with a slightly different height).
4 Conclusions
We have studied time-dependent fitness landscapes in the qua sispecies model
for the particular regime of small mutation rates. We have sh own that the
discrete time formulation and the continuous time formulat ion yield qualita-
tively different outcomes in that regime. If time is updated c ontinuously, an
evolving population adapts for R→0 to the exponential of the average fitness
landscape, whereas in discrete time, the population adapts to the geometric
mean of the landscape.
If the arithmetic or the geometric mean of the fitness landsca pe have degen-
eracies, then the behavior of the respective continuous tim e or discrete time
system for R→0 is determined by the effect of the landscape on the popu-
lation for some small but finite R, which can be very different from its effect
forR= 0. In particular, for the case of a slowly oscillating peak, the growth
of the population onto the peak when the peak is high is much fa ster than
the diffusion away from the peak when the peak is low, which imp lies that a
population can draw a selective advantage from that peak evenif the average
(resp. geometric mean) height of the peak does not exceed the surrounding
landscape. From that observation, the following picture em erges: If the average
height of a slowly oscillating peak is larger than or equal to the surrounding
fitness landscape, than in a small mutation rate environment a population will
draw a selective advantage from being close to the peak posit ion. Only if the
average height is truly smaller than the surrounding fitness , the peak position
will be necessarily disadvantageous.
The differences that we have found between continuous time an d discrete time
systems are not only interesting from a modeling perspectiv e. They also have
implications for the evolution of organisms that have the ab ility to influence
their replication cycle. In a fluctuating environment, a str ain that feels the
average of the landscape will have a selective advantage ove r a strain that
feels the geometric mean, as the latter is generally smaller . Hence, if two
14strains are identical apart from the fact that one replicate s in a synchronized
manner (all individuals generate their offspring at the same time, every ∆ t
units of time), whereas the other one replicates unsynchron ized (at any point
in time, some individuals may generate offspring), then the u nsynchronized
strain will out-compete the synchronized strain.
Throughout this paper, we have exclusively considered infin ite populations. It
is quite likely that finite populations experience the arith metic or geometric
mean fitness just as infinite populations do. However, since fi nite population
sampling occurs at every time step, the sampling might well i nterfere with the
averaging, such that finite populations could experience a s omewhat different
landscape. Nevertheless, the effect that a fluctuating peak c an lead to a se-
lective advantage will also exist in a finite population. Wit h a small mutation
rate, the finite population will not drift away from the peak w hen it is below
average, and hence the population will most likely rediscov er the peak when
it rises again to above average.

After the dynamo experiment in November 1999 [1] had
shown magnetic field self-excitation in a spiraling liquid m etal
flow, in a second series of experiments emphasis was placed
on the magnetic field saturation regime as the next principal
step in the dynamo process. The dependence of the strength
of the magnetic field on the rotation rate is studied. Vari-
ous features of the saturated magnetic field are outlined and
possible saturation mechanisms are discussed.

In the last decades, the theory of homogeneous dy-
namos has turned out unrivaled in explaining magnetic
fields of planets, stars and galaxies. Enormous progress
has been made in the numerical treatment of the so-called
kinematic dynamo problem where the velocity vof the
fluid with electrical conductivity σis assumed to be given
and the behaviour of the magnetic field Bis governed by
the induction equation
∂B
∂t=∇ ×(v×B) +1
µ0σ∆B. (1)
Above a critical value of the magnetic Reynolds num-
berRm=µ0σLvwhere Landvdenote a typical length
and velocity scale of the fluid, respectively, the obvious
solution B= 0 of Eq. 1 may become unstable and self-
excitation of a magnetic field may occur. The investi-
gation of the saturation mechanism which limits the ex-
ponential growth of the magnetic field is much more in-
volved as it requires the simultaneous solution of Eq. 1
and the Navier-Stokes equation
∂v
∂t+ (v· ∇)v=−∇p
ρ+1
µ0ρ(∇ ×B)×B+ν∆v(2)
where the back-reaction of the magnetic field on the ve-
locity is included. In Eq. 2, ρandνdenote the density
and the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, respectively.
A number of recent computer simulations of the
Earth’s core has led to impressive similarities betweenthe computed and the observed magnetic field behaviour
including, most remarkably, field reversals [2]. The ac-
tual relevance of these simulations for real dynamos is,
however, not completely clear as they are either working
in parameter regions far from that of the Earth or have
resort to numerical trickery as, e.g., the use of anisotropi c
hyperdiffusivities (for a recent overview, see [3]).
Until very recently, a serious problem of the science of
hydromagnetic dynamos was the lack of any possibility
to verify numerical results by experimental work. This
situation changed on 11 November 1999 when in the first
Riga dynamo experiment self-excitation of a slowly grow-
ing magnetic field eigenmode was observed for the first
time in an experimental liquid metal facility [1]. On the
background of an amplified external signal, the growth
rate and the rotation frequency of the self-excited field
were identified in good agreement with the numerical
predictions based on kinematic dynamo theory. Due to
some technical problems, the saturation regime was not
reached in this first experiment. Soon after, Stieglitz and
M¨ uller studied self-excitation and the saturation regime
in another dynamo facility in Karlsruhe [4].
In the following we will represent the results of a second
series of experiments at the Riga facility which were car-
ried out during 22-25 July 2000. It was possible to work
at considerably lower sodium temperatures and thus at
higher electrical conductivities than in the November ex-
periment. This fact allowed to study in great detail the
dynamo behaviour in the kinematic as well as in the sat-
uration regime. Here, we will mainly focus on the results
in the saturation regime as they go essentially beyond
the results of the November experiment.
The Riga dynamo facility consists of three concentric
tubes of approximately 3 m length (Fig. 1). In the in-
nermost tube of 25 cm diameter a spiraling flow of liquid
sodium with a velocity up to 15 m/s is produced by a pro-
peller. The sodium flows back in a second coaxial tube
and stays at rest in a third outermost tube. For more

As in November 1999, the r-components of the mag-

sensors at eight different places, six of which were aligned
parallel to the axis. Within the dynamo, close to the in-
nermost wall, the z-component of the magnetic field was
measured by a sensitive magnetometer to study the start-
ing phase of field generation and the r-component by a
less sensitive induction coil recording over all the gener-
ation time.

1) at the beginning of magnetic field self-excitation togeth er

A typical run is documented in Figs. 2 and 3. Without
any external excitation, a rotating field starts to grow
exponentially around t= 130 s where the rotation rate
has reached 1920 min−1(Fig. 2). Starting with thismoment the rotation rate was kept practically constant
for 80 s. The whole magnetic field pattern rotates around
the vertical axis in direction of the propeller rotation, bu t
much slower. Hence, each sensor records an AC signal
with a frequency of the order 1 Hz.
At around t= 240 s the exponential growth goes over
into saturation where the magnetic field continues to ro-
tate with a certain frequency but stays essentially con-
stant in its amplitude (Fig 3). Between t= 250 s and
t= 350 s a number of different rotation rates has been
studied, showing a clear dependence of the saturation
field level on the rotation rate.

From in total four experimental runs similar to that
shown in Fig. 3, we compiled a number of data con-
cerning the dependence of the growth rates (Fig 4a), the
frequencies (Fig. 4b), the power consumption of the mo-
tors (Fig. 5), and the saturation levels (Fig. 6) on the
rotation rate.
The first observation to be made in Fig. 4 is a sat-
isfactory confirmation of the numerical predictions, in
particular with respect to the slope of the curves and the
temperature dependence. There is a parallel shift of ap-
proximately 10 per cent with respect to the growth rate
and of approximately 5 per cent with respect to the fre-
quency. The shift of the growth rates might be partly ex-
2plained by the fact that the steel walls (with their lower
electrical conductivity) were not taken into account in
the 2D code underlying the given numerical predictions.
From one-dimensional calculations it is known that the
general effect of these walls consists in an increase of the
critical Rmby about 8 per cent which is also the order of
the said parallel shift. In total, there is now a quite coher-
ent picture of the kinematic regime in which the results
from the November experiment and the recent results fit
together.

FIG. 4. Growth rates (a) and frequencies (b) for different
rotation rates and temperatures in comparison with the nu-
merical prediction. For the sake of clarity, data measured a t
close temperatures are grouped together. The shown tem-
peratures are to be understood as ±3◦C. The two rightmost
points at 210◦C are taken over from the November experi-
ment. The larger error bars at low rotation rates are due to
the fact that for a quickly decaying signal the frequency and
the decay rate are much harder to determine than for a slow
decaying or an increasing signal. In (b) the frequencies in t he
saturation regime are also given, whereas the correspondin g
growth rates are (by definition) zero.
As for the saturation regime there is an interesting ob-
servation to be made in Fig. 4b. Whereas in this regime
the growth rates are by definition zero, the frequencies
continue to increase with the rotation rate. Obviously,
the frequency values are even a bit higher than what
would be expected from a simple extrapolation of thedata in the kinematic regime. This fact indicates that
there is not only an overall brake of the sodium flow by
the Lorentz forces but that the spatial structure of the
flow is changed, too. We will come back to this point
later on.
Concerning the motor power increase in the satura-
tion regime in Fig. 5 we show for one experimental run
the motor power consumption as a function of the ro-
tation rate Ω. The points in Fig 5 correspond to those
time intervals where the rotation rate was kept constant.
The shown data in the field-free regime are best fitted
with an Ω3curve which is also expected from simple
hydraulic arguments. As for the four rightmost points
in the saturation regime, there is evidently an increase
of the power consumption which must be explained in
terms of the back-reaction of the magnetic field. In or-
der to estimate this additional power the Ohmic losses
POhm=/integraltext
j2/σ dV have to be computed. Using the
magnetic field structure as it results from the kinematic
code and fixing its strength to the measured field strength
we get Ohmic losses of approximately 10 kW which is a
good approximation of the observed power consumption
increase.

However, as already mentioned in connection with the
observed frequency behaviour, the power increase due to
magnetic forces seems to be not the whole story. An-
other feature of the field might help to identify a fur-
ther saturation mechanism. In Fig. 6 we have plotted
four saturation levels of the radial magnetic field com-
ponent measured at different positions in dependence of
the temperature corrected rotation rate Ω c. Three of the
measurements where carried out at the Hall sensors H2,
H4, H6 (see Fig. 1). The fourth field is inferred from
the induced voltage (divided by the frequency) in the in-
duction coil at position F. The magnitude of the radial
component reaches 7 mT. From numerical simulations of
the kinematic regime it is known that the axial compo-
nent at the given position is by a factor five larger than
the radial component. Hence a value of about 30 mT
3seems to be a reasonable estimate for this z-component
inside the dynamo. The correction of the rotation rates
has been done the following way: at first note that at
a temperature of 157◦C and at a rotation rate of 1840
min−1an extremely slowly decaying mode was observed
in one run which will serve as a definition of a marginal
state. Saturation was observed, however, at quite differ-
ent temperatures. Therefore, the measured rotation rate
Ω at the temperature Twas first corrected correspond-
ing to Ω c(T) =σ(T)/σ(157◦C)Ω(T). By virtue of this
definition, the corrected rotation rate Ω cis proportional
to the magnetic Reynolds number Rm. The four differ-
ent saturation levels in Fig. 6 are fitted by some curves
proportional to (Ω c- 1840 min−1)β(this is no pre-justice
for a corresponding behaviour close to Ω =1840 min−1; a
slightly sub-critical behaviour close to the marginal poin t
cannot be excluded by our data). The different exponents
give clear evidence for a remarkable redistribution of the
magnetic energy towards the propeller region.
In trying to explain the two features of the magnetic
field which go beyond an overall braking of the flow by
the magnetic pressure, namely, the relatively high fre-
quency and the redistribution of magnetic energy towards
the propeller region, one can utilize numerical results for
those flows with an azimuthal velocity component which
is decaying along the z-axis. To begin with, note that
the self-excited magnetic field with its azimuthal depen-
dence exp( imφ) with m= 1 gives rise to Lorentz forces
withm= 0 and m= 2. Of the former, which will be
the only one of interest in the following, there are com-
ponents which can be absorbed into pressure derivatives
inzandrdirection. The ϕcomponent, however, re-
mains. The perturbation δvφof the azimuthal velocity
component arising from the Lorentz forces can be esti-
mated from Eq. 2 to be in the order of 1 m/s, if one
takes into account the measured magnetic field. It is in-
teresting to observe that the numerical simulation of the
influence of the azimuthal velocity changes along the z-
axis for the kinematic dynamo [5] results in similar mag-
netic field redistributions as shown for the saturation in
Fig. 6. Hence, this decay might indeed be relevant and
it is therefore the favorite candidate to account for the
observed features of the magnetic field in the saturation
regime.00.20.40.60.81

The study of the saturation regime will be continued by
means of numerical simulations in tight connection with a
sort of inverse dynamo approach based on the measured
data and, hopefully, with direct velocity measurements
inside the dynamo facility.

Synopsis
The fit of a set of simulated noisy EXAFS spectra samples the frequency
distribution of structural parameters and gives their statistical estimators (mean,
dispersion, correlations).
Abstract
The frequency distribution of different parameters of an EXAFS spect rum can be
directly sampled by analysing a population of simulated spectra produced by adding
computer -generated noise to a reference pattern.
The procedure gives statistical estimators of the parameters obtained with
different data processing strategies t o test the performance of a strategy, to evaluate the
bias introduced by random noise, and to clarify the amount of information actually
contained in an experimental spectrum.
Results are given for the two simple local structures of an Ag atom surrounded by
two oxygens or by six iodines.
2 1. Introduction
EXAFS (Extended X -Ray Absorption Fine Structure) is well recognised as a
powerful and now popular tool for investigating local structural features in different
kinds of materials. Strong points of the technique are its well assessed theoretical
background [see, for instance, Rehr 2000], the ability to provide information on the
environment of a chemically defined scattering centre, and the possibility to deal with
different kinds of materials, fr om liquids or disordered solids to well crystallised
samples. The popularity of EXAFS determinations has also greatly increased in recent
years because of the rapid diffusion of specialised software [Filipponi DiCicco & Natoli
1995, Filipponi & Di Cicco 19 95, Binsted 1998, Rehr 1994 and recent versions of the
FEFF programme].
Aim of this paper is to give a first contribution to the problems concerning
accuracy and reliability of these interesting determinations. Indeed, these aspects have
received so far on ly little attention and, to the knowledge of the present Authors, only a
few papers [ Incoccia and Mobilio, 1984, Lytle et al. , 1989, Filipponi, 1995, Curis and
Benazeth, 2000, Krappe and Rossner, 2000, ] are available on this regard in the
literature. Indee d, there are many particular aspects which make not so straightforward a
conventional error analysis of EXAFS data processing. To list just the most obvious
ones, there is first the effect of preliminary processing steps such as pre -edge and post -
edge back ground removal, which heavily rely on empirical models, and on some amount
of subjective evaluation. Another source of error is possibly related to the frequent
practice of combining k-space fit with Fourier -space analysis and windowing, and also
to the ne ed of introducing some threshold value above which the coordination shells are
not taken into account. Finally, different k-space weighting schemes are typically
3 applied not only for the purpose of data presentation and inspection, but are also used in
data processing, a practice which does not seem based on sound principles. Other
difficulties, which are indeed typical of many full -spectrum structure -based data fit
procedures, are due to the strong non -linear relation between experimental data and
model p arameters, and to the high degree of correlation between model parameters. This
can reasonably produce bias and non -parabolic errors.
The approach that is used in this paper has been applied two years ago by the same
group to the problem of accuracy and re liability of powder pattern structure refinement
[Dapiaggi et al. 1998]. Only the most general ideas and the specific details will be
discussed here, while reference is made to the previous work for a deeper discussion of
the method.
In general, aim of the approach is to know what amount of information is actually
contained in an EXAFS spectrum and can be easily retrieved by routine work and, on
the contrary, what information is deeply masked by noise (and by the particular
structural model) and therefore r equires a specialised strategy in data acquisition and
analysis, or cannot be retrieved by whatever kind of data treatment.
This task is achieved, as suggested in the well known book by Press et al. (1988),
with computer simulated experiments. According to this approach, a ‘large’ number of
synthetic data sets is prepared: each set of data differs from the others because of
random errors added by computer simulation (according to assumed statistical
distribution laws) to the same reference spectrum built fr om an assumed structural
model and assumed (‘true’) parameters. Fitting all data sets to the model gives a
population of parameters, and the frequency distribution over the computer generated
population is used as a numerical sampling of the underlying pr obability distribution.
4 2. Outline
As a general rule, we kept things as simple as possible. Consequently, some
problems of a real EXAFS local structure determination have not been investigated in
this preliminary approach. To quote just two wel l-known problems, we have considered
only very simple models containing a single coordination shell, and we kept simple both
the pre -edge and post -edge backgrounds. Broadly speaking, the present paper
investigates only the effect of random noise.
2.1. Reference XAS spectra
The reference spectra have been deterministically produced from assumed models
and from a given set of ‘true’ parameters. Two different models are discussed in the
present work. In the first one, the photoabsorber (Ag) is surrou nded by a small number
(two) of light neighbours (O), in the second one the same photoabsorber is surrounded
by a larger number (six) of heavy neighbours (I). As stated before, an unique shell
around the photoabsorber is considered in both models.
The GNXA S package (Filipponi, DiCicco & Natoli 1995, Filipponi & Di Cicco
1995) has been used to calculate the reference EXAFS of both models. The reference
XAS spectrum was built using a Debye -Waller factor equal to exp( -2·a2·k2), with a2 =
0.01Å2 and adding: a) a pre -edge background modelled with a straight line, b) an edge
step modelled with an arctg function broadened for the finite core -hole lifetime
corresponding to a FWHM of 8.123 eV and with an edge jump set to J = 1 and centred
at E0=25516.5 eV; c) a post edge background modelled using the linearized hydrogenic
model for the atomic background absorption: J·(1-8v/3) with v = (E-E0)/E0. The
5 presence of XANES structures on and near the edge was deliberately ignored for the
sake of simplicity. Each reference XA S spectrum so obtained will be referred to in the
following as muref(E).
2.2. Synthetic ‘experimental’ spectra
Starting from each reference spectrum, a set of 50 noisy spectra were simulated
using a random number generator for adding to each point of the reference spectrum a
Gaussian noise in the range muref(E)(1+/-10-4) as an approximation of a Poissonian
noise for a counting rate of 108 counts/s. We assume that this is a realistic noise level for
a “good” experimental spectrum that can be routinely obtained at a third generation
synchrotron radiation source.
2.3. Fitting procedure
Each synthetic XAS spectrum has been fitted using again the GNXAS package. In
particular, the program performs the following preliminary operations (not repeated
successively):
1) linear fit of the pre -edge region;
2) calculation of the first derivative of the absorption signal and determination of
the edge position from the maximum;
3) preliminary post edge background extraction, fitting the post edge signal with
beta-splines and without considering the structural parameters.
The program then compares the post edge absorption with a model which is
composed by a smooth post -edge background part ( beta-splines) plus a structural
oscillating part which is actually the EXAFS .
6 2.4. Evaluation of structural parameters
A total number of twenty four different sets of fit parameters have been produced
in correspondence to each different combination concerning:
1. Kind of model (AgO 2 or AgI 6),
2. Freely adjustable parameters: a) n (coordination number), a2 (Gaussian
part of the Debye -Waller factor), r (shell radius), E0,T (k-space origin),
with J (edge jump) fixed at its theoretical value of 1, or b) the previous
set of adjustable parameters and J.
3. Sampling range in k space: a) 2 – 12 Å-1, or b) 3.5 – 12 Å-1, or c) 5 – 12
Å-1, for the AgO 2 model; a) 2 – 16 Å-1, or b) 3.5 – 16 Å-1, or c) 5 – 16
Å-1, for the AgI 6 model.
4. Weighting exponent in k space: a) fit of chi (k) [which should be the
correct choice in the case of a constant nois e], or b) fit of k3.chi(k)
[which corresponds to what is more usually made in the EXAFS
community]; i.e. fit of km. chi (k) with m = 0 (case a) or m = 3 (case b).
In the followings, a fit according for a particular case among all these options will
be concisely referenced, for instance, with “ J/2-12/3” to indicate that the pertinent
model is fitted including the edge jump among the freely adjustable parameters,
sampling the k space between 2 and 12 Å-1, and using m = 3 weights, or with “ J=1/5-
16/0” to indicate th at the pertinent model is fitted without including the edge jump
among the freely adjustable parameters, sampling the k space between 5 and 16 Å-1, and
using m = 0 weights.
7 3. Results and discussion
We start our discussion with the AgI 6 model. For this model, the upper part of Fig.
1 gives an example of a single simulated EXAFS (dots) and its fit (continuous line)
obtained with the J/2-16/3 procedure. The corresponding Fourier transforms are shown
in the lower part of the same figure.
By conside ring the whole set of 50 simulated EXAFS and the same procedure, one
obtains a population of 50 { J, r, n, E0T, a2} or { r, n, E0T, a2} parameters. From this
population, several statistical estimators (mean values, standard deviations, …) are
obtained.
Table 1 summarises the results concerning mean values and standard deviations
for the J/2-16/3 fit procedure. It might be interesting to note that all parameters (with the
notable exception of E0,T) are biased by amounts that are much larger than the sample
standard deviations. The bias, however, is around 6% for the coordination number, well
below 0.01 Å for the coordination distance, and below 2% for the Debye -Waller factor.
All these biases are nicely smaller than what is usually believed to be a typical EXAF S
error on these parameters. Moreover, the bias is around 10% for the edge jump.
Deeper insights can be obtained by exploring the scatter plots (Fig. 2 -6) where the
values of couples of parameters obtained from the fit of a particular reference model and
according to a fixed fit strategy (again: J/2-16/3) are plotted against each other for the
whole set of simulated experiments. These figures show, for instance, that edge jump
and Debye -Waller factor appear as only weakly correlated variables (fig. 2), whil e edge
jump and coordination number are much more heavily correlated to each other (see Fig.
3). Concerning the latter couple, it is also interesting to note that the fit results are
heavily displaced on the scatter plot from the ‘true’ values and that the ir joint correlation
8 line, when extrapolated to J = 1, gives a much more accurate n value. This suggests that
taking the edge jump as a fixed parameter produces a much better value for the
coordination number.
Fig. 7 - 11 compare mean values and standard er rors for different fit procedures
and for the simulated experiments on AgI 6. On these plots, the error bars are the
standard errors calculated over the sample of computer simulated experiments, and the
horizontal lines are the true values. The x axis is si mply a label of the fit procedure and
the correspondence is as follows: 1 : J=1/2-16/3; 2 : J=1/3.5 -16/3; 3 : J=1/5-16/3; 4 :
J=1/2-16/0; 5 : J=1/3.5 -16/0; 6 : J=1/5-16/0; 7 : J/2-16/3; 8 : J/3.5-16/3; 9 : J/5-16/3; 10 :
J/2-16/0 11 : J/3.5-16/0; 12 : J/5-16/0.
In some detail, Figs. 7 and 8 show the results obtained for J and n. When J is fixed
to its true value ( x-labels 1 to 6), the coordination numbers obtained are quite close to
the real value, with a bias that is close to the statistical error and well below 20 %
(which is commonly believed to be a good estimate of the error in the coordination
numbers as determined by EXAFS). In addition, the statistical error is almost
independent on the weighting scheme and on the range of k space used in the fit. On the
contrary, allowing J to float (cases 7 - 12) introduces a bias in the determination of
coordination numbers which is much greater than the statistical spread (but in any case
below 20 %).
The correlation between n and J is well known and is due to th e fact that they both
contribute to the EXAFS as normalising factors. In particular, it is well apparent from
Figs. 7 and 8 that, when J is allowed to float, the n values obtained from the fit are
almost always greater than the true value, while the J valu es are always lower.
Moreover, J·n (which is the actual normalizing factor of the EXAFS) is regularly
underestimated (from the mean values of Table 1, < J·n> = 5.85 instead of 6). In our
9 opinion, this last fact is due to broadening of the edge caused by the finite lifetime of the
core hole. The broadened edge jump is then accounted by the beta-splines used for
fitting the post -edge background in form of a lower trend of the average signal just after
the edge. Then, the extrapolation to the edge energy of this ‘wrong’ trend produces an
underestimation of J (and J·n) which is calculated as the d ifference between post -edge
and pre -edge backgrounds at the edge. An indirect proof of the above understanding has
been obtained by considering a restricted number of simulated experiment based on a
reference EXAFS with a stepped edge jump (instead of the rounded arctg shape). In this
case, the fit gives much more accurate parameters: < J> = 0.98, < n> = 6.07 and < J·n> =
5.95.
The a2 parameter (see Fig. 9) is almost independent on the actual fit conditions
and is always quite well determined, both the bias an d the statistical error being of the
order of few percents. This despite the fact that there are correlations of a2 both with J
and n. Seemingly, what is important here is the total correlation of all the three
parameters a2, J and n; J and n may well be h eavily biased, but their combination is
accurate enough to allow an accurate determination of a2.
The E0T parameter is seemingly well recovered (Fig. 10) for all fit procedures.
Concerning the r parameter (Fig. 11), the bias is well above the statistical e rror. E0T and
r are strongly correlated, but this correlation is not enough to explain the bias on r. We
think that this is (at least partially) an indirect effect of the disorder ( a2), because in
calculating the mean geometrical configuration the fitting program uses other factors in
addition to the simple Debye -Waller weight coming from the a2 factor: this produces
small phase and amplitude shifts which possibly are at the origin of the bias
experimentally observed. Of course, this second order effect is expected to vanish in the
limit a2 -> 0. Indeed, using a reference model with a ten times lower a2 we actually
10 obtained a six times lower bias on r. It should be noted, however, that the (systematic)
error affecting r is of the order of a few thousandths o f Å, that is well below the value
(1-2 hundredths of Å) which is usually assumed as a reasonable estimate of the error in
the determination of the bond distances by EXAFS.
Finally, for what concerns more generally the correlations between different
paramet ers, it can be said that the case of the J/2-16/3 procedure is well representative
of the results for the different procedures.
The results for the AgO 2 model are shown in Fig.s 12 -16. The results for this
model are qualitatively similar to those of the Ag I6 model, but in general correlations,
biases and the statistical errors are greater. For example, the systematic error which
affects r can be of the order of 1 -2 hundredths of Å, and that which affects n can reach
the value of 20 % if J is allowed to floa t. This result is expected and is due to the much
lower level of the EXAFS oscillations for this model.
11 4. Conclusions
The most important result of the present simulation approach is that random noise
plays a minor role with respect to systemat ic errors in determining accuracy, precision
and correlation of the structural parameters obtained from analysis of an EXAFS
spectrum. This inference is well apparent when one considers, on one side, that the
simulated experiments only account for random n oise and, on the other side, that for
most parameters the statistical spread here obtained is typically much lower than what is
reported in the scientific literature as the typical error of a real EXAFS analysis. The
conclusion is also supported by the sim ulation results alone, by considering the
significant difference (for some parameters) between bias and statistical spread.
If we now remind that the background is here modelled only in a drastically
simplified way, while a real EXAFS spectrum is much more difficult to analyse on this
regard, it seems reasonable to infer that the most important source of error in the
analysis of an EXAFS spectrum is related to the procedure of (pre -edge and/or post -
edge) background subtraction. On this regard, the computer simulation also makes clear
the importance of the a priori knowledge of the correct value of the edge jump ( J),
which is essential for an accurate determination of n. It is therefore suggested to start an
EXAFS analysis only after having obtained an indepe ndent and reasonably accurate
value of the edge jump, for instance by comparison with the spectra of proper standards
of precisely known coordination number or, more directly, by accurately determining the
amount of photo -absorber atoms in the sample.
Finally, the present simulation approach show that the accuracy of the fitted
parameters is practically independent both of the weighting scheme and of the fitted
range in k space. The latter aspect practically affects only the determination of a correct
12 value of J if – contrary to the suggested procedure – one wants to keep this parameter
free to change during fitting.

We demonstrate how to separate the rotational degrees of fre edom in
a quantum N-body problem completely from the internal ones. It is shown
that any common eigenfunction of the total orbital angular m omentum ( ℓ)
and the parity in the system can be expanded with respect to (2 ℓ+ 1)
base-functions, where the coefficients are the functions of t he internal vari-
ables. We establish explicitly the equations for those func tions, called the
generalized radial equations, which are (2 ℓ+ 1) coupled partial differential
equations containing only (3 N−6) internal variables.

Symmetry is an important property of a physical system. The s ymmetry of a quantum
system can simplify its Schr¨ odinger equation and remove so me variables in the equation.
The simplest example is the hydrogen atom problem, where, du e to the spherical sym-
metry, the wavefunction is expressed as a product of a radial function and a spherical
harmonic function,
Ψℓ
m(r) =φ(r)Yℓ
m(θ,ϕ), (1)
and the Schr¨ odinger equation reduces to a radial equation w ith only one radial variable.
For a quantum N-body problem with a pair potential, the Schr¨ odinger equat ion is in-
variant under the spatial translation, rotation, and inver sion. From those symmetries,
one should be able to separate the motion of center-of-mass a nd the global rotation of
the system from the internal motions so as to reduce the Schr¨ odinger equation to the
generalized ”radial” equation that contains only internal variables. However, this prob-
lem has not been solved. In this letter we will solve this prob lem completely. Using the
appropriately chosen (3 N−6) internal variables and the (2 ℓ+ 1) base-functions for the
total orbital angular momentum ℓ, we establish explicitly the generalized radial equations

1without any approximation. Only (3 N−6) internal variables are involved in both the
generalized radial functions and the equations.

The Laplace operator obviously has the symmetry of O(3N−3) group with respect to
(3N−3) variables. The O(3N−3) group contains a subgroup SO(3)×O(N−1), where
SO(3) is the usual rotational group. The space inversion and th e different definitions
for the Jacobi vectors in the so-called ”Jacobi tree” [4] can be obtained by O(N−1)
transformations. For the system of identical particles, th e permutation group among
particles is also a subgroup of O(N−1) group.
Because of the spherical symmetry, the angular momentum is c onserved. The hydrogen
atom problem is a typical quantum two-body problem, where th ere is only one Jacobi
coordinate vector, usually called the relative position ve ctorr. For a quantum N-body
problem, equation (1) should be generalized in three aspect s. The first is how to define
the internal variables, which describe the internal motion s completely. The second is
2how to find the complete set of the independent base-function s with the given angular
momentum. The total wavefunction is expanded with respect t o the base-functions, where
the coefficients are the generalized radial functions which o nly depend on the internal
variables. The last is how to derive the generalized radial e quations that only contain
(3N−6) internal variables. As a matter of fact, these three aspec ts are connected. The
parity should also be considered in the generalization. Due to the spherical symmetry, one
only needs to study the eigenfunctions of angular momentum w ith the largest eigenvalue
ofL3(m=ℓ), which are simply called the wavefunctions with the angula r momentum
ℓin this letter for simplicity. Their partners with the small er eigenvalues of L3can be
calculated from them by the lowering operator L−.
Denote byR=R(α,β,γ ) a spatial rotation, transforming CF to the body-fixed frame
(BF), and by ξall the internal variables in a quantum N-body problem for simplicity.
Although Wigner did not separate the motion of center-of-ma ss by the Jacobi vectors, he
proved from the group theory that any wavefunction with the a ngular momentum ℓin
the system can be expressed as follows (see Eq. (19.6) in [5]) :
Ψℓ
ℓ(α,β,γ,ξ ) =ℓ/summationdisplay
q=−ℓDℓ
ℓq(α,β,γ )∗ψq(ξ), (5)
where we adopt the commonly used form of the D-function [6]. In Eq. (5) Dℓ
ℓq(α,β,γ )∗
plays the role of the base-function with the angular momentu mℓ, andψq(ξ) is the gener-
alized radial function. What Wigner proved is that there are only (2ℓ+ 1) independent
base-functions with the angular momentum ℓ. Unfortunately, due to the singularity of
the Euler angles, the generalized radial equations are very difficult to derive based on
Eq. (5). Wigner did not discuss the generalized radial equat ions, and to our knowledge,
those equations have not yet been established in the literat ure. It is obvious that the
generalized radial equations are very easy to obtain for the Swave [7]. However, it seems
quite difficult to obtain even for Pwave in a three-body problem [8,9].
Recently, a coupled angular momentum basis was used to predi agonalize the kinetic
energy operator [10], where some off-diagonal elements rema in non-vanishing. In their
calculation, the function with a given angular momentum was combined from the partial
angular momentum states by the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. Since the partial angular
momenta are not conserved, one has to deal with, in principle , an infinite number of
3the partial angular momentum states. This problem also occu rs in the hyperspherical
harmonic function method and its improved ones [2,4,11,12] . However, as Wigner proved,
only (2ℓ+ 1) partial angular momentum states are involved in constru cting the base-
functions with the angular momentum ℓ.
Arbitrarily choose two Jacobi coordinate vectors, say R1andR2. LetR1be parallel
with theZ-axis of BF, and R2be located in the XZplane with a non-negative X-
component in BF. The rotational degrees of freedom of the sys tem are described by a
rotationR(α,β,γ ), transforming CF to BF. Define (3 N−6) internal variables, which
should be invariant in the global rotation R(α,β,γ ):
ξj=Rj·R1, η j=Rj·R2, ζ j=Rj·(R1∧R2),1≤j≤(N−1),(6)
whereη1=ξ2andζ1=ζ2= 0. It is worth mentioning that ξjandηjhave even parity,
butζjhas odd parity. From them we have
Ωj= (R1∧Rj)·(R1∧R2) =ξ1ηj−ξ2ξj,
ωj= (R2∧Rj)·(R1∧R2) =ξ2ηj−η2ξj,
Rj·Rk= Ω−1

where Ω 1=ω2= 0, and Ω 2=−ω1= (R1∧R2)2.
Recall that two Jacobi vectors R1andR2completely determine BF and three Euler
angles. The base-functions with the angular momentum ℓshould be combined from the

qτ(ξ,η,ζ) is (−1)λ−τ.
Equation (5) coincides with Eq. (10), because either of the s et ofDℓ
ℓq(α,β,γ )∗and the
set ofQℓτ
q(R1,R2) is a complete set of base-functions of the angular momentum . However,
equation (10) has three important characteristics, which m ake it possible to derive the
generalized radial equations. The first is that the Euler ang les do not appear explicitly
in the base-functions Qℓτ
q(R1,R2). The second is the well chosen internal variables (6).
The third is that the internal variables ζjhave odd parity. It is due to the existence
ofζjthat the base-functions Qℓ0
q(R1,R2) andQℓ1
q(R1,R2) appear together in one total
wavefunction. By comparison, all the internal variables in a quantum three-body problem
have even parity ( ζj= 0) so that in a total wavefunction with a given parity, only t he
base-functions with the same parity appear [5,12].
Now, substituting Eq. (10) into the Schr¨ odinger equation ( 2) with the Laplace operator
(4), we obtain the generalized radial equations by a straigh tforward calculation:

Due to the limited size of a letter, we have to leave the proof o f the theorem and the
detailed calculation elsewhere. When establishing BF we ar bitrarily choose two Jacobi
coordinate vectors R1andR2. Those two vectors may be replaced with any other two
Jacobi vectors. One may change the choice according to the ch aracteristics of the physical
problem under study, such as some or all particles in the quan tumN-body problem are
the identical particles.
In deriving the generalized radial equations, the key is to d iscover the base-functions
Qℓτ
q(R1,R2) of the angular momentum and to choose the right internal var iables, some
of which have odd parity. From Eq. (9) we see that only finite nu mber of partial angular
momentum states are involved in constructing the base-func tionsQℓτ
q(R1,R2). Namely,
the contributions from the remaining partial angular momen tum states have been incor-
porated into those from the generalized radial functions.
The two features in this method, that the numbers of both func tionsψℓλ
qτ(ξ,η,ζ) and
equations are finite, and they depend only on (3 N−6) internal variables, are important for
calculating the energy levels and wavefunctions in a quantu mN-body problem. In fact,
in the numerical experiment for the quantum three-body prob lem by the series expansion,
much fewer terms have to be taken to achieve the same precisio n of energy than with other
methods. The calculation error will be less in comparison wi th the method to truncate
the series on the partial angular momentum states. As the num ber of the particles in the
6system increases, we believe, to remove three independent v ariables will greatly decrease
the calculation capacity requirement.

1THE PHYSICAL ORIGIN OF MASS AND CHARGE II
Erik A. Haeffner
Eskadervägen 48, 183 58 TÄBY, SWEDEN, haeffner@algonet.se
This article is forthcoming in Galilean Electrodynamics.
This article is an alternative version of a document which already can be found on the net.
(http://www.aalgonet.se/~haeffner . The scientific message is, however, now presented on a somewhat
lower abstraction level, with the ambition that wellknown and generally accepted experimental facts may be
identified more convenient and obvious as direct consequences of a new physical concept here disclosed and
discussed.
The new concept CER (Condensed Electromagnetic Radiation), proposed in this article, indicates anelectromagnetic origin of mass particles, in fact, an overwhelming amount of experimental evidence confirmsthat the CER concept is fundamental for the physical explanation of mass particle properties.Two well established physical phenomena may, among others indicated in the manuscript, be pointed out asconclusive for the new theory:
–Parametric down conversion is a commonly used expression to describe the phenomenon when a light wave
passing an optically active crystal is converted into two new oppositely polarized light waves. According to thenew theory it should in consequence be possible to produce two new CER particles if the initial electromagneticradiation, EMR, has a high enough energy (frequency) equivalent with the sum of the energies (masses) of thenew particles. The pair production phenomenon (electron and positron) is thus explained by the CER concept.–The second apparent proof is the existence of the first generation leptons and quarks. These may be predicted as
CER particles, each produced by the superposition of two plane polarized EMR at right angle with a quantum
phase difference of
π/6 as described and illustrated in the manuscript. A consequence of the new physical
interpretation of mass is the conclusion that all material in the universe is of electromagnetic origin, either in the
form of EMR : E = h υ or as CER : E = h υ= m c2 (mass particles)
Introduction
The concept of mass has a central and fundamental position in the science of physics. Quantities such as charge
and energy are correlated to mass. Electrical charge does not exist without mass, in fact, it might be called aproperty of mass which in itself is a form of energy, as discovered by Einstein.The three most important theories of modern physics; Quantum Mechanics, Special Relativity and the StandardModel cannot, however, give a straightforward explanation of the physical nature or the origin of mass.
In Quantum Mechanics mass is described both in the form of wave equations and as point particles where the
energy content is concentrated to a mathematical point. The waves are then interpreted to express the probabilityto find a particle within a certain space-time region. As pointed out in a study by Marmet ( 2 ) it is not easy tofind a logical definition of Quantum Mechanics as a theory of physics and in this rather diffuse situation todetermine if the concept of mass has a physical meaning at all. The negative opinion of Einstein in consideringthe physical reality of Quantum Mechanics is wellknown but to a large extent ignored. He has, however, given a
good reason for his opinion. ”I am, in fact, firmly convinced that the essentially statistical character of
contemporary quantum theory is solely to be ascribed to the fact that this theory operates with an incompletedescription of physical systems ” ( 3 )There has been many other efforts in the history of physics to introduce mathematical models of wave structuresintended to decribe mass particles. Among those with a wide scientific background is a paper by M. Wolff. (6)Difficulties arise often, however, when the mathematical models are compared with experimental facts or when
the nature and origin of waves should be explained .
The Standard Model is a classification system in which all elementary particles are ordered in families,
generations and classes according to which forces keep particles together. The internal physical nature andstructure of most fundamental particles - leptons and quarks - is so far not known and not needed for theclassification as such but of course much wanted for the understanding of nature.
Special Relativity is a rational and logical description of particle physics. Masses exist independently of an
observer. Relativistic corrections are used to give a description independent of the observers velocity. Thisrational mathematical description of nature conforms with experimental facts but cannot provide a physicalexplanation of the existence of mass particles.Summarizing: None of these mentioned three theories can, severally or in combination, explain the nature or
the origin of mass. For that purpose an additional physical theory is consequently needed.
In this article a new physical concept Condensed Electromagnetic Radiation, CER, is introduced with the aim to
fill this gap and to constitute a physical explanation of the nature and the origin of mass and charge. The CER2concept will be compared with physical realities, such as the existence of fundamental mass particles and
scientifically accepted experimental facts .
The CER Concept
Following wellknown physics we find that in a linear or plane polarized electromagnetic radiation, EMR, the
electric and magnetic field strength vectors oscillate in planes perpendicular to each other and to the direction ofpropagation. If we superimpose two independent electrical oscillations we can produce in different ways
polarized EMR. If the two oscillations are in phase and at right angle we find as a result a new plane polarized
electromagnetic radiation. Should the two initial EMR:s still have the same amplitude but there exists a phasedifference of 90 degrees, circular polarized electromagnetic radiations will appear. With a phase difference of 30degrees or 150 degrees the radiation is said to be elliptically polarized with the electric vectors rotatingrespectively to the right and to the left when looked upon in the direction of radiation propagation.( fig 1., fig 2.)

spring, fig 3.

packets, CER.
If the frequency is high the distance between subsequent threads of the spring is small. We now foresee –the
hypothesis– that at a certain small distance the individual electromagnetic wave units are squeezed into a closely
packed wave packet, which we call a Condensed Electromagnetic Radiation, CER, and identify as a CER
mass particle. In the same way we can produce elliptically polarized CER mass particles. (It should be noted that
the expression ”condensed” here means a condensation in space-time, not to be confused with ordinary gas
condensation. It should also be noted that we here interpret Planck´s constant h as the energy content of one
EMR wave unit. If we multiply h with the frequency υ , we will get an amount of energy hυ, which has been
called a photon or elderly a "light quanta" (energy quantum). These EMR energy quantities are not
massparticles. The CER concept, on the other hand, describes how EMR wave units after circular or ellipticalpolarization are transformed into mass particles. We can calculate the number of wave units in an electron bydividing the rest energy of the electron with Planck´s constant, and find that the electron as a CER particle
contains 1.2356 x 10
20 wave units. )
The CER concept of circularly or elliptically polarized electromagnetic radiation in a condensed state as a
physical identification of mass, is discussed in the following sections and investigated as how this concept agreeswith wellknown and scientifically accepted physical phenomena.
Leptons and quarks as CER particles
Through the theoretical and experimental development of the standard model, the plurality of elementary
particles have slowly found their place in a framework of families, classes and generations. Leptons and quarks
of the first generation, fig 4, are now assumed to be the real fundamental particles from which all the other”elementary” particles originate either as excitation states or as composite mass particles.It is then obviously important to investigate how the CER hypothesis will conform with the symmetry andproperties of these mentioned most fundamental particles. Fig 4 illustrates polarized EMR waves, each
composed of two linear polarized EMR’s with phase differences in 4 steps, 3π

by the 4 symmetrically opposite phase difference angles in quadrant III. We might describe the phase difference
going from 0°, in steps of π
630°() to 3π
690°() and from 6π
6180°() to 9π
6270°()as increasing the degree of
polarization of the resultant EMR.
In the CER concept it is assumed that at a certain small distance between adjacent electrical vector spiral units in
circular and elliptical EMR (fig 3) these superimpose to compress the EMR into CER mass particles. It would
thus be possible to identify the existing most fundamental particles with the illustrated species of polarized CER.The two bottom lines of fig 4 indicate the first generation of leptons and quarks with their electrical charges. Wefind that these most fundamental particles of the standard model may easily be identified as CER particles by
their symmetry and charge which increases in polarization steps of

The resultant CER wave packets are identified in symmetry and in electric charge with leptons and
quarks of the first generation.
This identification will also explain the charge unit of the electron and the positron as corresponding to the
maximum polarization possible. The quarks appear as elliptically polarized CER wave packets with different
polarization degrees. The electron neutrinos are each formed of two superimposed plane polarized EMR at right
angle and in phase. They consequently have a mass according to the fundamental equation
hν = m c2
m = hν
c2
The explanation of the old problem why the electron has the experimentally well determined charge e, and
nothing else, higher or lower, is then simply that it has the maximum polarization degree possible as a CERparticle.
Confirmation of the new theory by experimental facts :
Pair Production - Annihilation
If an EMR travels into a crystal that has nonlinear optical properties, two new EMR:s with opposite angular
momentum are created, that is one clockwise and one anticlockwise circularly polarized electromagnetic
radiations. The sum of the energies of the two new radiations equals exactly the energy of the parent EMR. Thephenomenon is called spontaneous parametric down conversion.According to the CER concept as described above the secondary polarized radiations should at a certainfrequency be converted to CER mass particles. That is also the case in physical reality, when a high energy EMR
> 1.02 MeV, in the vicinity of a nucleus is transformed into one electron (mass energy 0.51 MeV) and its
antiparticle the positron with the same mass. The reaction is wellknown as pair production and may physicallybe interpreted as a spontaneous down conversion of a high energy electromagnetic radiation. The pair
production phenomenon is an experimental confirmation of how CER mass particles are produced by the
condensation of high energy circular polarized electromagnetic radiation.5Relativistic mass effects
"A real world", or in other words, a physical realism implies or has a necessary prerequisite that mass and
electromagnetic radiation exist independently of an observer. Einsteins discovery or deduction that the velocity
of EMR is a constant c in vacuum and independent of any observers own velocity is, in fact, the physical
foundation of all relativistic phenomena.
A CER mass particle is physically a compressed or condensed wave packet of circularly or elliptically polarized
electromagnetic radiation which in itself has the velocity c. If we assume that the wave packet is moving with a
velocity v relative to the constant velocity c we find that when calculating the frequency ω (radians per s) of the
polarized electromagnetic radiation constituting the CER wave packet we must consider the Doppler effect in
order to determine the shift of frequency when the wave packet with a velocity v is moving relative to c. When
the velocity v is increasing the frequency ω is also increasing according to the formula:
ω1=ωo1+v
c
1−v2
c2
As the mass is directly proportional to the frequency according to
hωo = m oc2 where h=h
2π
we find that the mass of a CER particle follows the formula for relativistic increase with velocity
m1=mo1+v
c
1−v2
c2
The increase of mass when a particle is moving relative to the fixed EMR velocity c may then be interpreted as a
Doppler effect increasing the frequency of the EMR which constitutes the CER wave packet. No observer is
needed for this deduction as only internal physical relations are used in the c frame of a reference.
Waves associated to mass particles
A wellknown mathematical formula used to indicate wave properties of mass particles is the de Brolie wave
length
λ= h
m⋅ v
h = Planck´s constant,
m = particle mass and
v = particle velocity as measured by an external observer.
This equation is physically supported by diffraction experiments where a stream of electrons pass through slites
in a screen and then produce a diffration pattern on a parallell target screen. There is so far no physicalexplanation of the origin or nature of these mass particle waves producing the diffraction patterns. Textbook
formulations are that the de Broglie waves somehow are "associated " with mass. It is also often pointed out that
matter waves are not of electromagnetic origin. However, by introducing the new concept CER, CondensedElectromagnetic Radiation, we have established that mass particles really are of electromagnetic origin. We can
therefore look on the de Broglie phenomenon with diffraction patterns created by mass particles in the
light of the CER concept.
Starting with the fundamental equation
hυ=m c2
where
h = Planck´s constant
υ = frequency of electromagnetic radiation, EMR
m = the mass of a CER wave packet
c = EMR velocity in vacuum6If we exchange υ with c/λ, where λ = wave length, we get λ = h
m⋅c
It has been shown that the electron and the other leptons and quarks of the first generation confirm with respect
to charge and symmetri their identity as CER particles. We can then treat the electron as a CER mass particle
with the experimentally determined mass m e and use the formula above to calculate the wavelength λe will
decrease, also found by diffraction experiments.
It has been shown that the electron and the other leptons and quarks of the first generation confirm with respectto charge and symmetry their identity as CER particles. We can then treat the electron as a CER mass particle
with the experimentally determined mass m e and use the formula above to calculate the wavelength
λe of an
electron at rest. Using the known constants h and c we find λe = 2.42 x 10 -10 cm
What happens if the electron moves towards, as an example, a diffraction chamber with a velocity ν? A velocity
of a CER particle is always a movement relative to the constant velocity c. As has already been shown the
electron mass will then increase according to the relativity equation
m1=mo1+v
c
1−v2
c2
From the equation λ=h
m⋅c we realize that when the electron mass increases its wavelength λe will decrease,
as also found by diffraction experiments
The CER concept can consequently provide a physical explanation of what has been called " matter waves" or"associated waves". It should be noted that there is no reference to an "observer" or the relative velocity to such
an "observer" when calculating the wavelength of a mass particle.
An alternative way to estimate the wavelength of the electron is by using the experimentally found
Compton scattering relation, which describes the relation of wave lengths when an incoming EMR λ0()is
scattered by an electron at an angle θ from its initial direction. The scattered EMR will then get the new
wavelenght λs and the scattered electron is found to have the dimension of a wavelenght λeaccording to
the equation λs - λ0 = λe 1- cos θ ()
When θ = 90 θ = 90 θ = 90 θ = 90 ° it is found that the ”Compton wavelenght” λe = h
me⋅c
which is the same value as already found if we concider the electron as a CER mass particle. This means
that we have found another experimental confirmation of the CER concept.
Uncertainty relations
The basic postulate of Quantum Mechanics is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. If a complete mathematical
description of fundamental physics can be built on this postulate is a question that has been discussed both byphysicists and philosophers for decades. Steven Weinberg ( 4 ) and many others confirm that QuantumMechanics provides a precise framework for calculating energies, trasition rates and probabilities. Marmet ( 2 )
and others have, on the other hand, found many absurdities when comparing the QM mathematical descriptions
with a physical reality. These scientific controversies have apparently their root in a problem that already Gödel (5 ) discussed. The mathematics of a system ensures that there are no internal mathematical contradictions.Mathematics cannot, however deduce results from relations that are external to the mathematical system.With the introduction of the CER concept we can end this controversy and give the Heisenberg deduction of theuncertainty principles a physical meaning. The starting point is the same relationship E =hυ as Heisenberg used
for the mathematical formation of a Fourier wave packet. The difference is that according to the CER concept
the wave packet is identified physically as compressed electromagnetic radiation. In that way we can give thefoundation of Quantum Mechanics a physical reality. This is shown (ref.1) by a simple deduction of theHeisenberg uncertainty relations using the CER wave packet concept .
The question, however, to what extent further quantum theory mathematical transformations correspond to
physical realities will not be discussed here.7Conclusions
The new concept of condensed electromagnetic radiation CER indicates a physical structure of mass particles. It
has been demonstrated that the fundamental particles leptons and quarks of the first generation, which in theStandard Model are thought as building blocks of composite particles, coincide in charge and symmetry with aseries of CER wave packets where the phase difference between originally plane polarized EMR waves is
integer multiples of π
6
radians.
Besides this successful demonstration of the physical origin of mass and charge the CER concept is supported by
the explanation it provides of, so far mysterious, phenomena of nature such as mass particle production, mass
increase with velocity, elementary particle symmetries, charge quantization, wave structure of matter, etc. The
CER concept is consequently of interest for further physical studies and experiments. What comes to mind, as ahigh priority, is the synthesizing of existing or new particles through the building up, or expressed in physicalterminology, the superposition of high energy EMR:s which might differ in phase, frequency and amplitude. Aconsequence of the new physical interpretation of mass is the conclusion that all materia in the universe is of
electromagnetic origin, either in the form of EMR : E = h υ or as CER : E = h υ= m c2
The Planck - Einstein energy formulas above appears then as very fundamental equations of the universe.

1Introduction
The 1st law of thermodynamics for heat exchange has the following
form:
TdS=dU+PdV. (1)
There are substances which contract with the temperature: water at T<277 K,
liquid He4, Si in a certain temperature interval, honey, Te, Se (monoclinic),
quartz glass etc.1,2
Water contracts with the temperature at 273<T<277 K. Let's carry out
the process (1) with dU=0 in this temperature interval: dQ>0 and dV<0.
Throughout this paper pressure is supposed to be the atmospheric one. Then
dQ=PdV. It is a contradiction. Both sides of the equation have different signs. In
this paper this paradox is explained.
Theory
It is possible to prove that at 273<T<277 K and dU=0, water contracts
with heating. From thermodynamics1,3
α=(1/V)( ∂V/∂T)P=-(1/V)( ∂V/∂P)T(∂P/∂T)V=kT(∂S/∂V)T. (2)
where kT is the isothermal compressibility. If α<0 then ( ∂S/∂V)T<0 and
(∂S/∂V)U<0 because ( ∂S/∂V)U is a special case of ( ∂S/∂V)T. From Eq. (1)
(∂S/∂V)U=P/T>0. (3)2Really, let's suppose that water expands at U=const, 273<T=T 0<277 K.
Then, due to continuity of the function V, there will be an interval
T0-ΔT<T<T0+ΔT where water expands at T ≠const. But it contradicts to
experiment because limΔT→0(1/V)[(V(T 0+ΔT)-V(T0))/ΔT]P=α<0.
To explain this paradox, in4 it has been supposed that P in Eq. (1) is
negative for substances with negative α. The author thinks that this opinion is
wrong. According to foundations of thermodynamics, pressure P in Eq. (1) is
the external pressure3, here the positive atmospheric one.
According to thermodynamics,
P=-(∂U/∂V)S. (4)
and P is negative for metastable states.3,4 In4 it is supposed that substances with
negative thermal expansion coefficient are metastable. It is doubtful. The
metastable states correspond to local minima, the stable one corresponds to the
absolute minimum.3 Water at T<277 K has only one state.
For water in weightlessness P in (4) is greater than 0, regardless of is
T<277 K or T>277 K. For water in cylinder under piston under pressure P=
-(∂U/∂V)S,+0<0, P=-( ∂U/∂V)S,-0>0, regardless of the temperature. Therefore,
water at T<277 K does not differ from that at T>277 K in that sense. For liquid
with negative pressure, P in Eq. (4) is less than zero4 (regardless of is the
derivative forward one or backward one).3In solids P +0 in Eq. (4) is negative, however, it does not mean that the
sign before P in Eq. (1) must be negative. For almost all solids α>0. Backward
derivative P -0>0.
One has to arrive at a conclusion that for substances with negative α the
sign before P in Eq. (1) must be minus not plus:
dQ=dU-PdV. (5)
Whence dQ=dQ 1+dQ2, dQ1=dU, dQ 2=−+PdV. If dQ>0, then dQ 1>0 and dQ 2>0.
Almost nobody checked experimentally validity of Eq. (1) for substances
with α<0. There are relations using which one can verify the 1st law3,5: the
Mayer's relation
cV-cP=-Tα2V/kT. (6)
The Reech's relation
cV=cPkS/kT. (7)
kS=-(1/V)( ∂V/∂P)S is the adiabatic compressibility, and the relation
(∂cP/∂P)T= -TV(( ∂α/∂T)P+α2). (8)
If to derive these relations using Eq. (5) instead of Eq. (1), they will be the
following ones
cV-cP=Tα2V/kT. (9)
cV=cPkT/kS. (10)
(∂cP/∂P)T=TV((∂α/∂T)P+α2). (11)
For water at 273K cV-cP≈-2,5 J/(kg ⋅K), cP=4217,6 J/(kg ⋅K).5 Using Eq.
(6) we can not verify the 1st law because we do not know cV. We can do it using4Eq. (7): for T=273K k T=5,0885 ⋅10-10 Pa-1=kS.5 These values can prove neither
Eq. (1) nor Eq. (5).
The authors of5 used table dependence of enthalpy H(P, T) from a
reference book to obtain ( ∂cP/∂P)T=∂2H/∂P∂T. However, in reference books6,7
enthalpy is obtained from the relations
H=ΔHf0+cdTP∫ , (12)
(∂H/∂P)T=V-T(∂V/∂T)P (13)
where ΔHf0 is the enthalpy of formation of substance and Eq. (8) is a sequence
of Eq. (13). Hence, one may not agree with the result from5 that (∂cP/∂P)T>0 in
the whole temperature range.
Conclusions
The following conclusion can be drawn. The author thinks he succeeded
to prove that Eq. (5) must be used instead of Eq. (1) for substances with
negative thermal expansion coefficient. The final proof can be done by
measuring precisely cv, kT and kS.

1The Law of Conservation of Energy in Chemical Reactions
I. A. Stepanov
Latvian University, Rainis bulv. 19, Riga, LV-1586, Latvia
Abstract
Earlier it has been supposed that the law of conservation of energy in chemical
reactions has the following form:
ΔU=ΔQ-PΔV+
i∑µiΔNi
In the present paper it has been easy proved by means of the theory of ordinary differential
equations that in the biggest part of the chemical reactions it must have the following form:
ΔU=ΔQ+PΔV+
i∑µiΔNi
The result obtained allows to explain a paradox in chemical thermodynamics: the heat of
chemical processes measured by calorimetry and by the Van’t-Hoff equation differ s very much
from each other. The result is confirmed by many experiments.
I. Introduction
The law of conservation of energy for heat exchange is the following one:
δQ=ΔU+δA (1)
Here δQ is the heat introduced to the system, ΔU is the change in the internal energy and δA is
work done by the system. Further it will be assumed that δA=PΔV.2For chemical processes this law is written in the following form [1]:
ΔU=ΔQ-PΔV+
i∑µiΔNi (2)
where µi are chemical potentials and ΔNi are the changes in the number of moles. It is due to
the fact that the motive force of heat exchange is the heat introduced to the system but a
motive force of a chemical reaction is the change in the internal energy. In this paper it is
assumed that ΔQ is negative for exothermic reactions.
Using the theory of differential equations of physical processes i t is possible easy to
prove that the energy balance in the form of (2) for the biggest part of the chemical reactions is
not correct. In the biggest part of the chemical reactions the law of conservation of energy
must have the following form:
ΔU=ΔQ+PΔV+
i∑µiΔNi (3)
II. Theory
Pay attention that if P=const and A is the work of expansion then dQ and dA=PdV are
exact differentials. Let's consider heat exchange, one introduces the quantity of heat ΔQ in the
system ( ΔV=0): ΔQ=ΔU. Now let's suppose ΔV>0. Let's find out, is it necessary to write
ΔQ=ΔU-PΔV or ΔQ=ΔU+PΔV. It is necessary to add the term P ΔV to the right side of the
equation. If ΔQ>0 then ΔU>0 and P ΔV>0. Then, according to the theory of differential
equations of physical processes one gets (1) with ΔA=PΔV.
Here a traditional method from differential equations was used [2]. If there is an
equality dfdxdydz =−+−+−+αβγ (α, β and γ>0) and one does not know what signs must there be in3front of α, β and γ one proceeds as following. Let dy and dz=0. Let df<0, if dx<0 then +α.
The signs before β and γ are found analogically.
Let's consider an exothermic and an isothermic reaction. Let 's suppose that ΔV=0. In
this occasion the 1st law of thermodynamics will be the following one:
ΔU=ΔQ+
i∑µiΔNi (4)
Now let 's suppose that ΔV≠0. For the biggest part of the exothermic reactions with
ΔV≠0 the difference in the volume ΔV is less than zero (in isothermal case), for example, the
following reaction:
2H2+O2=2H2O (5)
The term PΔV must be added to the right side of (4). Let's analyze what sign must it have. ΔU
is less than 0, PΔV is less than 0. Hence the 1st law of thermodynamics for a chemical reaction
will have the following form:
ΔU=ΔQ+PΔV+
i∑µiΔNi (6)
Really, dU=dU 1+dU2+dU3 where dU 1=dQ, dU 2=−+PdVand dU3=∑µidNi. If dU>0 then dU 1,
dU2 and dU3>0 and dV>0 whence the sign before P is plus.
It is important to stress that for heat exchange ( ∂U/∂V)S<0 but for an endothermic
reaction ( ∂U/∂V)S,N>0. In an endothermic reaction one heats the reactants, dU increases and
dV increases. Equation (6) describes this process correct but according to (2) the volume must
decrease. If an open system with no chemical reactions expands on its own then its internal
energy is exausted and ( ∂U/∂V)S,N<0.
III. Discussion and Experimental Checking4The 1st law of thermodynamics in the form of (6) was obtained not strictly in [3]. In
the present work a strict derivation is given.
Using the result obtained in the present paper it is possible to explain a paradox in
chemical thermodynamics: the heat of chemical reactions, that of dilution of liquids and that of
micelle formation measured by calorimetry and by the Van’t-Hoff equation differ significantly
[4-6]. The difference is far beyond the error limits. According to thermodynamics the Van’t-
Hoff equation must give the same results as calorimetry because the Van’t-Hoff equation is
derived from the first and the second law of thermodynamics without simplifications. Nobody
succeeded to explain this paradox. Most probably, the reason is that in the derivation of the
Van’t-Hoff equation it is necessary to take into account the law of conservation in the form of
(6), not of (2).
If to derive the Van’t-Hoff equation taking into account (6) the result will be the
following one:
d/dT ln K=ΔH*0/RT2 ( 7)
where K is the reaction equilibrium constant and ΔH*0=ΔQ0+PΔV0. Let's check experimentally
the result obtained.
In [7] the dependence of N 2O4=2NO2 reaction equilibrium constant on the temperature
was given which was found experimentally (Table1). From Table 1 one sees that the
equilibrium constant at 293, 303 and 323 K obeys the equation
ln K = 22,151-59677/RT (8)
with high accuracy. Values calculated by (8) differ from experimental ones at 0,1; 0,2 and
0,03%, respectively. The equilibrium constant at 273 K deflects from this relationship.
Dependence of K on temperature is a broken line. The points 293, 303 and 323 K are at one
segment, 273 K is at the other one. From Eqs. (7) and (8) it is possible to calculate ΔH*0 and
ΔQ0=ΔH*0- PΔV0. We suppose that gas is ideal. These values are given in Table 1. There also5the values of the heat of reaction ΔQ are given calculated according to [8]. One sees a good
agreement with the present theory. Pay attention that K in (8) is the true reaction equilibrium
constant which depends on the activities.
In [9] the following reaction was considered:
2Zn(gas)+Se 2(gas)=2ZnSe(solid) (9)
ΔGf0=-723,614+382,97T kJ/ mol,1260<T<1410 K (10)
As ln K=-ΔG0/RT, from (10) one may find ΔH*0 and ΔQ0=ΔH*0-PΔV0. The heat of reaction
ΔQ is taken from [10] for T=1300 (Table 2). For T=1400 the data in [10] are absent.
In [11] the following reaction was given:
2HgTe(solid)=2Hg(gas)+Te 2(gas) (11)
lnK=-348496/RT+13,77; 778<T<943 K (12)
The heat of this reaction is given in Table 2.
In [12] the following reaction was given:
2ZnS(solid)=2Zn(gas)+S 2(gas) (13)
lnK=-774142/RT+21,976; 1095<T<1435 K (14)
The heat of this reaction is given in Table 2.
The equilibrium constant K in Eqs. (12), (14) depends on pressure, not on fugacity. But
at a temperature many hundreds grades Kelvin and at the atmospheric pressure one can neglect
intermolecular interactions and pressure is very close to fugacity.
In [13] the following reaction was considered:
2Te(liquid)=Te 2(gas) (15)
lnP=-119,755/RT+11,672469, 722,65<T ≤800 K (16)
-116,706/RT+11,21345, 800<T<921,6 K
-114,045/RT+10,8661, 921,6<T<1142 K.6Assuming K=P one can build Table 3.
One sees that experiment is in a good agreement with the theory developed i n the
present paper.

Abstract
We present some Maple procedures using the GrTensorII packa ge
for teaching purposes in the study of the canonical version o f the
general relativity based on the ADM formalism
1 Introduction
The use of computer facilities cam be an important tool for te aching
general relativity. We have experienced several packages o f procedures,
(in REDUCE + EXCALC for algebraic programming and in Math-
ematica for graphic visualizations) which fulfill this purp ose ([10]).
In this article we shall present some new procedures in Maple V using
GrTensorII package ([11]) adapted for the canonical versio n of the gen-
eral relativity (in the so called ADM formalism based on the 3 +1 split
of spacetime). This formalism is widely used ([8],[9]) in th e last years
as a major tool in numerical relativity for calculating viol ent processes
as, for example the head-on collisions of black holes, massi ve stars or
other astrophysical objects. Thus we used these computer pr ocedures
1in the process of teaching the canonical formalism as an intr oductory
part of a series of lectures on numerical relativity for grad uated stu-
dents. The next section of the article presents shortly the n otations
and the main features of the canonical version of the general relativity.
Early attemps in using computer algebra (in REDUCE) for the A DM
formalism can be detected in the literature ([3], [6],[7]). Obviously we
used these programs in producing our new procedures for Mapl e +
GrTensorII package, but because there are many specific feat ures we
shall present in some detail these procedures in the section 3 of the
article. The last section of the article is dedicated to the c onclusions
pointed out by running the Maple procedures presented here a nd some
future prospectives on their usage toward the numerical rea lativity.
2 Review of the canonical formalism
of general relativity
Here we shall use the specific notations for the ADM formalism [1],[2];
for example latin indices will run from 1 to 3 and greek indice s from
0 to 3. The starting point of the canonical formulation of the general
relativity is the (3+1)-dimensional split of the space-tim e produced
by the split of the metric tensor :
(4)gαβ=
(4)goo(4)goj
(4)gio(4)gij
=
NkNk−N2Nj
Ni gij
(1)
wheregijis the riemannian metric tensor of the three-dimensional
spacelike hypersurfaces at t = const. which realize the spac etime
foliation. Here Nis the ”lapse” function and Niare the components
of the ”shift” vector [2].
The Einstein vacuum field equations now are (denoting by ” ·” the
time derivatives) :
˙gij= 2Ng−1/2[πij−1
2gijπkk] +Ni/j+Nj/i (2)
˙πij=−Ng1/2[Rij−1
2gijR] +1
2Ng−1/2gij[πklπkl−1
2(πkk)2]
2−2Ng−1/2[πimπjm−1
2πijπkk] +g1/2[N/ij−gijN/m
/m]
+ [πijNm]/m−Ni
/mπmj−Nj
/mπmi(3)
whereπijare the components of the momenta canonically conjugate
to thegij’s.
In the above formulas we denoted by ”/” the three-dimensiona l
covariant derivative defined with gijusing the components of the three-
dimensional connection [2] :
Γi
jk=1
2gim(gmj,k+gmk,j−gjk,m) (4)
The Ricci tensor components are given by
Rij= Γk
ij,k−Γk
ik,j+ Γk
ijΓm
km−Γk
imΓm
jk (5)
The initial data on the t = const. hypersurface are not indepe ndent
because they must satisfy the constraint equations, which c omplete
the Einstein equations
H=−√g{R+g−1[1
2(πkk)2−πijπij]}= 0 (6)
Hi=−2πij
/j= 0 (7)
where His the super-hamiltonian, Hithe super-momentum and gis
the determinant of the three-dimensional metric tensor gij.
The action functional in Hamiltonian form for a vacuum space
-time can thus be written as ([1],[2]) :
S=/integraldisplay
dt/integraldisplay
(πij˙gij−NH −NiHi)ω1ω2ω3(8)
where theωi’s are the basis one-forms. Thus the dynamic equations
(2) and (3) are obtained by differentiating Swith respect to the canon-
ical conjugate pair of variables ( πij,gkm).
3 Maple + GrTensorII procedures
Here we shall describe briefly the structure and the main feat ures
of the Maple procedures for the canonical formalism of the ge neral
3relativity as described in the previous section. Two major p arts of
the programs can be detected : one before introducing the met ric of
the spacetime used (consisting in several definitions of ten sor objects
which are common to all spacetimes) and the second one, havin g line-
commands specific to each version.
The first part of the program starts after initalisation of th e GrTen-
sorII package ( grtw(); ) and has mainly the next lines :
> grdef(‘tr := pi{^i i}‘);
> grdef(‘ha0:=-sqrt(detg)*(Ricciscalar+
(1/detg)*((1/2)*(tr)^2-pi{i j}*pi{ ^i ^j }))‘);
> grdef(‘ha{ ^i }:=-2*(pi{ ^i ^j ;j}-pi{ ^i ^j }*Chr{ p j ^p })‘ );
> grdef(‘derge{ i j }:=2*N(x,t)*(detg)^(-1/2)*(pi{ i j } -
(1/2)*g{ i j}*tr)+Ni{ i ;j } + Ni{ j ;i }‘);
> grdef(‘Ndd{ ^m j }:= Nd{ ^m ;j }‘);
> grdef(‘bum{ ^i ^j ^m}:=pi{ ^i ^j }*Ni{ ^m }‘);
> grdef(‘bla{ ^i ^j }:=bum{ ^i ^j ^m ;m }‘);
> grdef(‘derpi{ ^i ^j }:=
-N(x,t)*(detg)^(1/2)*(R{ ^i ^j }-(1/2)*g{ ^i ^j }*Riccisc alar)+
(1/2)*N(x,t)*(detg)^(-1/2)*g{ ^i ^j }*(pi{ ^k ^l }*pi{ k l } -
(1/2)*(tr)^2)-2*N(x,t)*(detg)^(-1/2)*(pi{ ^i ^m }*pi{ ^ j m }-
(1/2)*pi{ ^i ^j }*tr)+ (detg)^(1/2)*(Ndd{ ^i ^j }-g{ ^i ^j }*
Ndd{ ^m m }) + bla{ ^i ^j } - Ni{ ^i ;m }*pi{ ^m ^j }-
Ni{ ^j ;m }*pi{ ^m ^i }‘);
Hereha0andha{ˆi}represents the superhamiltonian and the
supermomentum as defined in eqs. (6) and (7) respectively and tr
is the trace of momentum tensor density πij- which will be defined
in the next lines of the program. Here N(x,t) represents the lapse
functionN. Also, derge {i j}represents the time derivatives of the
components of the metric tensor, as defined in eq. (2) and derpi {ˆiˆ
j}the time derivatives of the components of the momentum tenso r
πijas defined in eq. (3).
The next line of the program is a specific GrTensorII command
for loading the spacetime metric. Here Maple loads a file (pre viously
generated) for introducing the components of the metric ten sor as
functions of the coordinates. We also reproduced here the ou tput of
the Maple session showing the metric structure of the spacet ime we
introduced.
> qload(‘Cyl_din‘);
4Default spacetime = Cyl_din
For the Cyl_din spacetime:
Coordinates

x = [x, y, z]
Line element
2 2
ds = exp(gamma(x, t) - psi(x, t)) d x
2 2 2
+ R(x, t) exp(-psi(x, t)) d y + exp(psi(x, t)) d z
As is obvious we introduced above the metric for a spacetime w ith
cylindrical symmetry, an example we used for teaching purpo ses being
a well known example in the literature ([5]). In natural outp ut this
metric has the form :
gij=
eγ−ψ0 0
0R2e−ψ0
0 0 eψ
(9)
in cylindrical coordinates x,y,z withx∈[0,∞),y∈[0,2π),z∈
(−∞,+∞) whereR,ψandγare functions of xandtonly.
After the metric of the spacetime is established the next seq uence
of the programm just introduce the components of the momentu m
tensorπijas
> grdef(‘Nd{ ^ m } := [diff(N(x,t),x), 0, 0]‘);
> grdef(‘Ni{ ^i } := [N1(x,t), N2(x,t), N3(x,t)]‘);
> grdef(‘vi1{^i}:=[pig(x,t)*exp(psi(x,t)-gamma(x,t)) ,0,0]‘);
> grdef(‘vi3{^i}
:=[0,0,exp(-psi(x,t))*(pig(x,t)+(1/2)*R(x,t)*pir(x, t)+
pip(x,t))]‘);
> grdef(‘vi2{^i}:=[0,(2*R(x,t))^(-1)*pir(x,t)*exp(ps i(x,t)),0]‘);
> grdef(‘pi{ ^i ^j } :=
vi1{ ^i }*kdelta{^j $x}+vi2{ ^i }*kdelta{ ^j$y }+
vi3{ ^i }*kdelta{^j $z}‘);
> grcalc(pi(up,up));
> grdisplay(pi(up,up));
5HereNi{ˆi}represents the shift vector Niand the other objects
(Nd,vi1,vi2andvi3) represent intermediate vectors defined in order
to introduce the momenum pi{ˆiˆj}having the form :
πij=
πγeψ−γ0 0
01
2RπReψ0
0 0 e−ψ(πγ+1
2RπR+πψ)
(10)
In the program we denoted πγ,πRandπψwithpig,pirandpip,
respectively. The momentum components are introduced in or der that
the dynamic part of the action of the theory be in canonical fo rm, that
is : ˙gijπij=πγ˙γ+πψ˙ψ+πR˙R. The next lines of the programm check
if this condition is fullfiled :
> grdef(‘de1{ i }:=[diff(grcomponent(g(dn,dn),[x,x]),t ),0,0]‘);
> grdef(‘de2{ i }:=[0,diff(grcomponent(g(dn,dn),[y,y]) ,t),0]‘);
> grdef(‘de3{ i }:=[0,0,diff(grcomponent(g(dn,dn),[z,z ]),t)]‘);
> grdef(‘ddgt({ i j }:=
de1{ i }*kdelta{j $x}+de2{ i }*kdelta{ j$y }+
de3{ i }*kdelta{ j $z}‘);
> grcalc(ddgt(dn,dn));
> grdef(‘act:=pi{ ^i ^j }*ddgt{ i j }‘);
> grcalc(act); gralter(act,simplify); grdisplay(act);
By inspecting this last output from the Maple worksheet, the user can
decide if it is necessary to redifine the components of the mom entum
tensor or to go further. Here the components of the momentum t ensor
were calculated by hand but, of course a more experienced use r can try
to introduce here a sequence of commands for automatic calcu lation of
the momentum tensor components using the above condition, t hrough
an intensive use of solve Maple command.
Now comes the must important part of the routine, dedicated t o
calculations of different objects previously defined :
> grcalc(ha0); gralter(ha0,simplify);
> grdisplay(ha0);
> grcalc(ha(up)); gralter(ha(up),simplify);
> grdisplay(ha(up));
> grcalc(derge(dn,dn)); gralter(derge(dn,dn),simplify );
> grdisplay(derge(dn,dn));
> d1:=exp(-psi(x,t))*grcomponent(derge(dn,dn),[z,z]) +exp(psi(x,t)-
6gamma(x,t))*grcomponent(derge(dn,dn),[x,x]);
> simplify(d1);
> d2:=(1/(2*R(x,t)))*exp(psi(x,t))*grcomponent(derge (dn,dn),[y,y])+
(1/2)*R(x,t)*exp(-psi(x,t))*grcomponent(derge(dn,dn ),[z,z]);

One of the important goals of the canonical formalism of the g en-
eral relativity (which constitutes the “kernel” of the ADM f ormalism)
is the reductional formalism. Here we obtain the true dynami cal sta-
tus of the theory, by reducing the number of the variables thr ough
solving the constraint equations. This formalism is applic able only
to a restricted number of space-time models, one of them bein g the
above cylindrical gravitational waves model. Unfortunate ly only a
specific strategy can be used in every model. Thus the next lin es of
our program must be rewritten specifically in every case. Her e, for
teaching purposes we present our example of cylindrical gra vitational
wave space-time model. Of course we enccourage the student t o apply
his own strategy for other examples he dares to calculate.
In our example of cylindrical gravitational waves, the redu ctional
strategy as described in ([5]) starts with the usual rescali ng of Hand

and specific substitutions in the dynamic objects of the theo ry :

4 Conclusions. Further improuvements
We used the programms presented above in the computer room wi th
the students from the graduate course on Numerical Relativi ty. The
main purpose was to introduce faster the elements of the cano nical
version of relativity with the declared objective to skip th e long and
not very straitforward hand calculations necessary to proc ess an entire
example of spacetime model. We encouraged the students to tr y to
modify the procedures in order to compute new examples.
The major conclusion is that this method is indeed usefull fo r an
attractive and fast teaching of the methods involved in the A DM for-
11malism. On the other hand we can use and modify these programs for
obtaining the equations necessary for the numerical relati vity. In fact
we intend to expand our Maple worksheets for the case of axisy mmet-
ric model (used in the numerical treatement of the head-on co llision
of black-holes). Of course, for numerical solving of the dyn amic equa-
tions obtained here we need more improuvements of the codes f or
paralel computing and more sophisticated numerical method s. But
this will be the object of another series of articles.

1The Heats of Reactions. Calorimetry and Van't-Hoff . 1

Abstract
Earlier it has been supposed that the law of conservation of energy in
chemical reactions has the following form:
dU=dQ-PdV+
i∑µidNi
In [1-4] it has been shown that for the biggest part of reactions it must have the
following form:
dU=dQ+PdV+
i∑µidNi
In the present paper this result is confirmed by other experiments.
1. Introduction
For chemical processes the law of conservation of energy is written in the following
form:
dU=dQ-PdV+
i∑µidNi (1)2where dQ is the heat of reaction, dU is the change in the internal energy, µi are chemical
potentials and dNi are the changes in the number of moles.
In [1-4] it has been shown that the energy balance in the form of (1) for the biggest part
of the chemical reactions is not correct. In the biggest part of the chemical reactions the law of
conservation of energy must have the following form:
dU=dQ+PdV+
i∑µidNi (2)
The Van’t-Hoff equation is the following one :
d/dTlnK= ΔH0/RT2(3)
where K is the reaction equilibrium constant and ΔH0 is the enthalpy. According to
thermodynamics , the Van’t-Hoff equation must give the same results as calorimetry because it
is derived from the 1st and the 2nd law of thermodynamics without simplifications. However,
there is a paradox: the heat of chemical reactions, that of dilution of liquids and that of other
chemical processes measured by calorimetry and by the Van’t-Hoff equation differ significantly
[1-4]. The difference is far beyond the error limits. T he reason is that in the derivation of the
Van’t-Hoff equation it is necessary to take into account the law of conservation in the form of
(2), not of (1) [1-4].
If to derive the Van’t-Hoff equation using (2) the result will be the following one:
d/dTlnK= ΔH0*/RT2 (4)
where ΔH0*=ΔQ0+PΔV0.
In the present paper the following processes were checked: Si(liquid)= Si(gas),
2Si(liquid)=Si 2(gas), Si(solid)+SiO 2(solid)=2SiO(gas). .
2. Experiments3In [6] the following processes were considered:
Si(liquid)= Si(gas) (5)
logP=logK=-2,08 ⋅104/T+10,84 1762≤T≤1998K (6)
2Si(liquid)= Si2(gas) (7)
logP=logK=-2,46 ⋅104/T+10,93 1842≤T≤1992K (8)
The 1st process is evaporation , the 2nd one is a chemical reaction. Their heats are given in
Table 1 . One sees that the heat of evaporation measured by the Van’t-Hoff equation is much
closer to the experiment than the heat of the reaction. Evaporation is a physical process , it
obeys the traditional thermodynamics. The second process obeys the present theory.
In [7] the following reaction has been studied:
Si(solid)+SiO 2(solid)=2SiO(gas) (9)
logP=13,613-1,785 ⋅104/T, 1300 ≤T≤1580K (10)
The heat of this reaction is given in Table 1 . It obeys the present theory, not the traditional
one.4References

Abstract
We have developed an efficacious algorithm for simulation of t he beam-beam in-
teraction in synchrotron colliders based on the nonlinear δfmethod, where δf
is the much smaller deviation of the beam distribution from t he slowly evolving
main distribution f0. In the presence of damping and quantum fluctuations of
synchrotron radiation it has been shown that the slowly evol ving part of the
distribution function satisfies a Fokker-Planck equation. Its solution has been
obtained in terms of a beam envelope function and an amplitud e of the dis-
tribution, which satisfy a coupled system of ordinary differ ential equations. A
numerical algorithm suited for direct code implementation of the evolving dis-
tributions for both δfandf0has been developed. Explicit expressions for the
dynamical weights of macro-particles for δfas well as an expression for the slowly
changing f0have been obtained.

The effects of the beam-beam interaction on particle dynamic s in a synchrotron collider are
the key element that determines the performance of the colli der such as luminosity [1] - [3].
In order to accurately understand these effects, it is necess ary to incorporate not only the
overall collisional effects of the beam-beam interaction, b ut also the collective interaction
among individual parts of the beam in each beam and its feedba ck on the beam distribution.
The particle-in-cell (PIC) approach [4], [5] has been adopt ed to address such a study need
[6], [7], [8].
Particle-in-cell codes typically use macro-particles to r epresent the entire distribution
of particles. In the beam-beam interaction for the PEP-II [9 ] (for example), the beams
consist of 1010particles each. Simulating this many particles with the PIC technique is
computationally prohibitive. With the conventional PIC co de 1010particles are represented
by only 103−104macro-particles allowing simulation of the beam-beam inte raction in a
reasonable computation time. However, the statistical fluc tuation level of various quantities
such as the beam density ρin the code is much higher than that of the real beam. The
fluctuation level δρgoes as approximately
δρ
ρ≈√
N
N, (1.1)
where Nis the number of particles. Therefore, the fluctuation level of the PIC code is about
103times higher than that of the real beam. Although this probab ility is not significant for
beam blowup near resonances, the higher fluctuation level ha s a large effect on more subtle
phenomenon such as particle diffusion. The purpose of the δfalgorithm is to facilitate the
study of subtle effects and has been introduced in [10], [11], [12].
Theδfmethod follows only the fluctuating part of the distribution instead of the entire
distribution. This is essentially modeling the numerator o f the right-hand side of equation
(1.1). So the 103−104macro particles are used to represent√
1010or 105real fluctuation
particles in PEP-II beams. This is only one or two orders of ma gnitude beyond the number
of macro particles. Such a modest gap between the number of ma cro particles and the real
fluctuating particles maybe ameliorated by the standard tec hniques of the PIC approach,
such as the method of finite-sized macro-particles [4], [5].
PIC strong-strong codes use a finite number of particles to re present the Klimontovich
equation for the microscopic phase space density (MPSD) [13 ]. In the particular case of
one-dimensional beam-beam interaction,
∂f
∂s+p∂f
∂x−(K(s)x−F(x;s))∂f
∂p= 0, (1.2)
where K(s)xis the usual magnetic guiding force and F(x;s) is the beam-beam force
F(x;s) =2eEx(x)
mγv2δp(s). (1.3)
2The electric field Ex(x) is calculated from the distribution of the particles of the on-coming
beam and δp(s) is the periodic δ-function with a periodicity of the accelerator circumfere nce.
The distribution function f(x, p;s) is represented by a finite number of macro-particles by
f(x, p;s) =1
NN/summationdisplay
n=1δ(x−xn(s))δ(p−pn(s)), (1.4)
where Nis the number of macro-particles.
The strategy of the δfmethod is that only the perturbative part of the distributio n is
followed. The total distribution function f(x, p;s) is decomposed into
f(x, p;s) =f0(x, p;s) +δf(x, p;s), (1.5)
where f0(x, p;s) is the steady or slowly varying part of the distribution and δf(x, p;s) is the
perturbative part. The key to this method is finding a distrib ution f0(x, p;s) which is close
to the total distribution f(x, p;s). The perturbative part δf(x, p;s) is then small, causes
only small changes to the distribution, and thus represents only the fluctuation levels. If
a distribution f0(x, p;s) close to the total distribution is not found or found poorly , then
δf(x, p;s) represents more than the fluctuation part of the total distr ibution; defeating the
purpose of the method. The ideal situation is having an analy tic solution for f0(x, p;s). In
this case any numerical truncation errors which result from the necessary derivatives of this
function are eliminated. If an analytic solution cannot be f ound, then a numerical solution
needs to be found which is close to the total distribution f(x, p;s) and is slowly varying.
A frequent numerical update of f0(x, p;s) would also defeat the purpose of the δfmethod,
since the PIC technique essentially does this also.
The beam-beam interaction can lead to beam instabilities th at disrupt or severely distort
the beam or gradual beam spreading. The higher the beam curre nt, and thus the beam-
beam interaction, the stronger these effects become. Theref ore, when one wants to maximize
the luminosity of a collider, one needs to confront the beam- beam interaction effects. The
operation of PEP-II, for example, is critically dependent o n the beam-beam interaction and
optimal parameters to minimize the related beam instabilit ies are under intense study.
The paper is organized as follows. In the next Section we pres ent a brief formulation of
the problem of beam-beam interaction in synchrotron collid ers. In Section 3 we develop the
nonlinear δfmethod for solving the equation for the microscopic phase sp ace density in the
presence of random external forces. The equation for the fluc tuating part δfis being derived
and its solution is found explicitly in terms of dynamical we ight functions, prescribed to each
macro-particle. In Section 4 we solve the Fokker-Planck equ ation for the averaged slowly
evolving part of the distribution. We show that the solution is an exponential of a bilinear
form in coordinates and momenta with coefficients that can be r egarded as generalized
Courant-Snyder parameters. In Section 5 we outline numeric al algorithms to alternatively
solve the Fokker-Planck equation and the macro particle dis tribution with dynamical weight.
Finally, Section 6 is dedicated to our summary and conclusio ns.
32 Description of the beam-Beam Interaction
In order to describe the beam dynamics in an electron positro n storage ring, we introduce
the equations of motion in the following manner. The beam pro pagation in a reference frame
attached to the particle orbit is usually described in terms of the canonical conjugate pairs

where u= (x, z),sis the path length along the particle orbit, and the index krefers to
either beam ( k= 1,2). In equations (2.1) and (2.2) the quantity u(k)is the actual particle
displacement from the reference orbit in the plane transver sal to the orbit, p(k)
uis the actual
particle momentum, and E(k)is the particle energy. Furthermore, p(k)
0andEk0are the total
momentum and energy of the synchronous particle, respectiv ely, and D(k)
uis the well-known
dispersion function. The quantity
/tildewideσ(k)=s−ω(k)
0Rt (2.3)
is the longitudinal coordinate of a particle from the k-th beam with respect to the syn-
chronous particle, where ω(k)
0is the angular frequency of the synchronous particle and Ris
the mean machine radius.

is the trajectory of the n-th particle from the k-th beam. Next we
split the MPSD fkinto two parts according to the relation:
fk(x,p;s) =fk0(x,p;s) +δfk(x,p;s), (3.3)
where fk0is a solution to the equation

The quantity F(k)
L0in Eq. (3.4) is the linear part of the beam-beam force F(k)
B. The beam-
beam force should be calculated with the on-coming beam dist ribution f(3−k)0. In what
follows it will prove convenient to cast the beam-beam force into the form:
F(k)
B=F(k)
L0+F(k)
N0+δF(k)
B, (3.5)
where F(k)
N0is the nonlinear (in the transverse coordinates) contribut ion calculated with
f(3−k)0, while δF(k)
Bdenotes the part of the beam-beam force due to δf3−k.
It is worthwhile to note here that the representation (3.3) i s unique, embedding the basic
idea of the δfmethod. However, one is completely free to fix the f0part, which usually
describes those features of the evolution of the system one c an solve easily (and preferably in
explicit form). In the next Section we show that fk0, averaged over the statistical realizations
of the process ξk(s) satisfies a Fokker-Planck equation and find its solution.
Subtract now the two equations (3.2) and (3.4) to obtain an eq uation for the δfk

The next step consists in defining the weight function that is relative to the total distribution
as
Wk(x,p;s) =δfk(x,p;s)
fk(x,p;s). (3.7)
Substituting
δfk=Wkfk ; fk=fk0

into (3.6) and taking into account (3.2) we finally arrive at t he evolution equation for the

Equation (3.9) can be solved formally by the method of charac teristics. The first couple

Suppose their solution (particle’s trajectory in phase spa ce){x(s),p(s)}is known, and let

84 The Fokker-Planck Equation
To derive the desired equation let us define the distribution function Fk0(x,p;s) and the
fluctuation δfk0(x,p;s) according to the relations:
Fk0(x,p;s) =/an}b∇acketle{tfk0(x,p;s)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht;δfk0(x,p;s) =fk0(x,p;s)− F k0(x,p;s),(4.1)
where /an}b∇acketle{t· · ·/an}b∇acket∇i}htimplies statistical average. Neglecting second order term s and correlators in δfk0
andδf(3−k)0that generally give rise to collision integrals, we write do wn the equations for

In order to carry out the δfmethod effectively, it is important to find an equilibrium
solution of f0(or very slowly varying solution) so that the evolution of δfis separate in time
scale from that of f0. In the following we discuss the equation and the solution of thef0
distribution.
For the sake of simplicity, in what follows bellow in this Sec tion, we consider one dimen-
sion only (say x), since the results can be easily generalized to the multidi mensional case,
9provided the x-z coupling is neglected. Let us write down the Fokker-Planck equation (4.5)
in the simplified form:

It is important to note that when the damping vanishes (Γ k= 0) the above equations are
exactly the same as the well-known differential equations fo r the Courant-Snyder parameters.
In this sense the functions /tildewideαk,/tildewideβkand/tildewideγkcan be regarded as a generalization of the Courant-
Snyder parameters in the case when radiation damping and qua ntum excitation are present.

Let us define now the dimensionless envelope function σkaccording to the relations

Manipulating equations (4.11), (4.12) and (4.13) for the ge neralized Courant-Snyder param-
eters one can eliminate /tildewideαkand/tildewideγkand obtain a single equation for the envelope σk, which

By solving equations (4.20) and (4.21) one can obtain a compl ete information about the
evolution of the Fk0part of the distribution function. However, solving the abo ve system
of equations for the beam envelopes and amplitudes of the dis tributions is not an easy task.
For that purpose we develop in the next Section a numerical sc heme which is more suited
for direct code implementation.
5 Numerical Algorithm
In the previous Sections, we have established the theoretic al foundation of the nonlinear δf
method for the beam-beam interaction. In this Section we wil l apply those results to outline
numerical algorithms suitable for computer simulation.
Starting with Eq. (3.4), because the forces in the equation b oth from lattice and the
on-coming beam are linear, its solution is well known Gaussi an distribution (for example as
shown in the previous Section in the one-dimensional case)
Fk0(z;s) =1

, (5.1)
where/hatwideΣkis the matrix of the second moments for the distribution and zis a vector in the six-
dimensional phase space. Based on the method of the beam-env elope [14], the propagation
ofFk0can be represented as the iteration of the/hatwideΣkmatrix,
/hatwideΣ(i+1)
k=/hatwiderMk·/hatwideΣ(i)
k·/hatwiderMT
k+/hatwiderDk, (5.2)
where/hatwiderMkis the one-turn matrix including the linear beam-beam force of the on-coming
beam, and the radiation damping and/hatwiderDkis the one-turn quantum diffusion matrix. Both
/hatwiderMkand/hatwiderDkcan be extracted from the lattice using for example the LEGO c ode [15], [16].
However, there is a difference compared to the situation of a s ingle storage ring, namely,
we have to simultaneously iterate the Gaussian distributio n for both beams, since the linear
map/hatwiderMkdepends on the beam size of the other beam.
Combining Eqs. (3.1) and (3.7), the perturbative part of the beam distribution δfkhas
a representation in terms of macro-particles

, (5.3)
where W(n)
k(s) is the dynamical weight of the n-th particle from the k-th beam.
As a part of the solution for Eq. (3.9), the propagation of the particle coordinates in
phase space is the same as the conventional PIC code [8] provi ded that the beam-beam force
is the sum of the two parts from both Fk0andδfk.
12For the Fk0part, we can apply the well known Erskine-Bassetti formula [ 17] for a Gaus-
sian beam. The force due to the δfkis obtained by solving the two-dimensional Poisson
equation. In addition to the change of the coordinate, the we ight of the particle should be
propagated according to Eq. (3.11). The weight should be upd ated after the change of the
coordinate since the change of the weight depends on the traj ectory of the particle.
6 Summary
We have developed an efficacious algorithm for simulating the beam-beam interaction in a
synchrotron collider with (or without) synchrotron radiat ion. The nonlinear δfmethod has
been introduced into the evolutionary description of subtl e changes of the counter stream-
ing distribution of the colliding beams over many revolutio ns. The overall equation that
describes this evolution is the Fokker-Planck equation (wi th the radiative process and quan-
tum fluctuations). In order to isolate the δfdistribution from the average distribution, we
analyze the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation. Obtain ed is a form of solution in which
the time dependence is parameterized through a slow evoluti on (slow compared with the
changes in the δfdistribution due to the individual beam-beam interaction) in the Courant-
Snyder parameters and the emittance of the beam. This algori thm will enhance the analysis
capability to scrutinize greater details and subtle effects in the beam-beam interaction than
the PIC version which has been widely deployed [8].
The current algorithm as well as the previous one [8] have bee n developed with an
immediate application to the PEP-II B-factory collider. Th e code [8] has already been
applied to describe the beam-beam interaction in the PEP-II with unprecedented accuracy
and reproduction faithfulness, and will be sufficient to stud y the overall dynamics such as
the analysis of resonance instabilities and associated lum inosity functions. It is anticipated,
however, that the numerical noise associated with the PIC wi ll require either an inordinate
amount of macro-particle deployment or a level of noise high enough to mask some minute
phase space structure that may manifest in subtle but import ant long-time evolution of the
beam such as particle diffusion. It is here that the current al gorithm will cope with the
problem.

It has long been recognized that a frequency stan-
dard could be based on the 282 nm transition between
the ground 5 d106s2S1/2level and the metastable 5 d96s2
2D5/2level of Hg+[1]. The lifetime of the upper level
is 86(3) ms [2], so the ratio of the natural linewidth ∆ ν
to the transition frequency ν0is 2×10−15. (Unless oth-
erwise noted, all uncertainties given in this paper are
standard uncertainties, i.e., one standard deviation esti -
mates.) Doppler broadening can be avoided if the tran-
sition is excited with two counter-propagating photons,
as originally proposed by Bender et al. [1] and subse-
quently demonstrated by Bergquist et al. [3]. However,
optical Stark shifts are greatly reduced if the transition
is driven instead with a single photon by the electric-
quadrupole interaction. In this case, Doppler broaden-
ing can be eliminated if the ion is confined to dimen-
sions much less than the optical wavelength, as was first
demonstrated by Bergquist et al. [4].
Recently, the ( F= 0,MF= 0) to (F= 2,MF= 0) hy-
perfine component of the199Hg+5d106s2S1/2to 5d96s2
2D5/2single-photon transition has been observed with a
linewidth of only 6.7 Hz by Rafac et al. [5]. A laser servo-
locked to this transition is an extremely stable and repro-
ducible frequency reference. New developments in opti-
cal frequency metrology [6, 7] may soon make this system
practical as an atomic frequency standard or clock.
While the ( F= 0,MF= 0) to (F= 2,MF= 0) hy-
perfine component has no linear Zeeman shift, it does
have a quadratic Zeeman shift that must be accounted
for. In addition, there is a second-order Stark shift and a
shift due to the interaction between the electric-field gra-
dient and the atomic electric-quadrupole moment. None
of these shifts has yet been measured accurately, so it is
useful to have calculated values, even if they are not veryprecise. Also, it is useful to know the functional form of
the perturbation, even if the magnitude is uncertain. For
example, the quadrupole shift can be eliminated by av-
eraging the transition frequency over three mutually or-
thogonal magnetic-field orientations, independent of the
orientation of the electric-field gradient.
2. METHODS AND NOTATION
The quadratic Zeeman shift can be calculated if the hy-
perfine constants and electronic and nuclear g-factors are
known. Similarly, the quadratic Stark effect can be cal-
culated from a knowledge of the electric-dipole oscillator
strengths. The quadrupole shift depends on the atomic
wavefunctions. Some of these parameters have been mea-
sured, such as the hyperfine constants and some of the
oscillator strengths. There are also published calcula-
tions for some of the oscillator strengths.
Here, we estimate, by the use of the Cowan atomic-
structure codes, values for parameters for which there
are neither measured values nor published calculations.
The Cowan codes are based on the Hartree-Fock ap-
proximation with some relativistic corrections [8]. The
odd-parity configurations included in the calculation
were 5d10np(n= 6,7,8,9), 5d105f, 5d96s6p, 5d96s7p,
5d96s5f, and 5d86s26p. The even-parity configurations
were 5d10ns(n= 6,7,8,9,10), 5d10nd(n= 6,7,8,9),
5d96s2, 5d96s7s, 5d96s6d, and 5d96p2. Recently, San-
sonetti and Reader have made new measurements of the
spectrum of Hg+and classified many new lines [9]. They
also carried out a least-squares adjustment of the energy
parameters that enter the Cowan-code calculations in or-
der to match the observed energy levels. We use these
adjusted parameters in our Cowan-code calculations.
As one test of this method of calculation, we estimated2
the weakly allowed 10.7 µm 5d106p2P1/2to 5d96s2 2D3/2
electric-dipole decay rate. This decay is allowed only be-
cause of configuration mixing, since it requires two elec-
trons to change orbitals. The calculation shows the de-
cay to be due mostly to mixing between the 5 d106pand
5d96s6pconfigurations. The calculated rate is 55.6 s−1;
the measured rate is 52(16) s−1[2]. Another test is the
electric-quadrupole decay rate of the 5 d96s2 2D5/2level
to the ground level. The calculated rate is 12.6 s−1, and
the measured rate is 11.6(0.4) s−1. Similar calculations
have been carried out by Wilson [10].
LetH0be the atomic Hamiltonian, exclusive of the hy-
perfine and external field effects, which are treated as per-
turbations. For convenience, we denote the eigenstates
ofH0corresponding to the electronic levels 5 d106s2S1/2
and 5d96s2 2D5/2havingJzeigenvalueMJby|S 1/2MJ/an}b∇acket∇i}ht
and|D 5/2MJ/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, respectively.
The corresponding eigenvalues of H0are denoted
W(S,1/2) andW(D,5/2). An arbitrary eigenstate of
H0with eigenvalue W(γ,J) and electronic angular mo-
mentumJis denoted |γ J M J/an}b∇acket∇i}ht. Since199Hg+has in
addition a nuclear angular momentum I, whereI= 1/2,
the complete state designation is |γJFM F/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, whereFis
the total angular momentum, and MFis the eigenvalue
ofFz.
3. QUADRATIC ZEEMAN SHIFT
In order to calculate the energy shifts due to the hy-
perfine interaction and to an external magnetic field
B≡Bˆz, we define effective Hamiltonian operators H′
S
andH′
Dthat operate within the subspaces of hyper-
fine sublevels associated with the electronic levels 5 d106s
2S1/2and 5d96s2 2D5/2respectively:
H′
S=hASI·J+gJ(S)µBJ·B+g′
IµBI·B,(1)
H′
D=hADI·J+gJ(D)µBJ·B+g′
IµBI·B,(2)
whereASandADare the dipole hyperfine constants,
gJ(S) andgJ(D) are the electronic g-factors,g′
Iis the
nuclearg-factor,his the Planck constant, and µBis
the Bohr magneton. All of the parameters entering H′
S
andH′
Dare known from experiments, although a more
accurate measurement of gJ(D) would be useful. The
ground-state hyperfine constant AShas been measured in
a199Hg+microwave frequency standard to be 40 507.347
996 841 59 (43) MHz [11]. The excited-state hyperfine
constantADhas been measured recently by an extension
to the work described in Ref. [5], in which the differ-
ence in the frequencies of the |S 1/2 0 0/an}b∇acket∇i}htto|D 5/2 2 0/an}b∇acket∇i}ht
and the |S 1/2 0 0 /an}b∇acket∇i}htto|D 5/2 3 0 /an}b∇acket∇i}httransition frequen-
cies was determined to be 3 AD=2 958.57(12) MHz [12],in good agreement with an earlier, less precise measure-
ment by Fabry-P´ erot spectroscopy [13]. The ground-
state electronic g-factorgJ(S) was measured in198Hg+
by rf-optical double resonance to be 2.003 174 5(74) [14].
The excited-state electronic g-factorgJ(D) was measured
in198Hg+by conventional grating spectroscopy of the
398 nm 5d106p2P3/2to 5d96s2 2D5/2line to be 1.198
0(7) [15]. The difference in gJ(S) orgJ(D) between
198Hg+and199Hg+is estimated to be much less than
the experimental uncertainties. The nuclear g-factorg′
I
is−5.422 967(9) ×10−4[16]. The measurement was made
with neutral ground-state199Hg atoms, so the diamag-
netic shielding factor will be slightly different from that
in the ion. However, this is effect is negligible, since the
magnitude of g′
Iis so small compared to gJ(S) orgJ(D).
The determination of gJ(D) could be improved by mea-
suring the optical-frequency difference between two com-
ponents of the 282 nm line and the frequency of a ground-
state microwave transition at the same magnetic field.
Since the uncertainty in the quadratic Zeeman shift is
due mainly to the uncertainty in gJ(D), it is useful to see
how accurately it can be estimated theoretically. The
Land´ eg-factor for a2D5/2state, including the correction
for the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, is
1.200 464. The Cowan-code calculation shows that the
configuration mixing does not change this value by more
than about 10−6, i.e., 1 in the last place. There are sev-
eral relativistic and diamagnetic corrections that modify
gJ(D), one of which, called the Breit-Margenau correc-
tion by Abragam and Van Vleck [17], is proportional to
the electron mean kinetic energy. The other corrections
are more difficult to calculate. The Cowan-code result for
the mean kinetic energy of an electron in the 5 dorbital of
the 5d96s2configuration is T= 19.32hcR∞, whereR∞
is the Rydberg constant. Using this value, we obtain a
theoretical value of gJ(D), including the Breit-Margenau
correction, of 1.199 85, which disagrees with the the ex-
perimental value by 1 .85×10−3, which is 2.6 times the
estimated experimental uncertainty of Ref. [15]. If we
calculategJ(D) for neutral gold, which is isoelectronic
to Hg+, by the same method, we obtain a value which
differs from the accurately measured experimental one
[18] by (7 ±2)×10−5. Thus, the error in the calculated
value forgJ(D) of199Hg+might be less than 1 ×10−4,
but it is impossible to be certain of this, since there are
uncalculated terms. Measurements of the199Hg+optical
clock frequency at different values of the magnetic field
should result in a better experimental value for gJ(D) in
the near future.
For low magnetic fields ( Bless than 1 mT), it is suffi-
cient to calculate the energy levels to second order in B.
To this order in B, the energies of the hyperfine-Zeeman
sublevels for the ground electronic level are3

Here,W(γ,J,F,M F,B) denotes the energy of the state
|γJFM F/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, including the effects of the hyperfine interac-
tion and the magnetic field.
At a value of Bof 0.1 mT, the quadratic shift of the
|S 1/2 0 0/an}b∇acket∇i}htto|D 5/2 2 0/an}b∇acket∇i}httransition (optical clock tran-
sition)is −189.25(28) Hz, where the uncertainty stems
mainly from the uncertainty in the experimental value
ofgJ(D). In practice, the error may be less than this if
the magnetic field is determined from the Zeeman split-
tings within the |D 5/2F M F/an}b∇acket∇i}htsublevels. The reason
is that an error in gJ(D) leads to an error in the value
ofBinferred from the Zeeman splittings, which partly
compensates for the gJ(D) error. If instead we use the
calculated value of gJ(D), the quadratic shift for B= 0.1
mT is −189.98 Hz, where the uncertainty is difficult to
estimate.
4. QUADRATIC STARK SHIFT
The theory of the quadratic Stark shift in free atoms
has been described in detail by Angel and Sandars [19].
The Stark Hamiltonian is
HE=−µ·E, (12)where µis the electric-dipole moment operator,
µ=−e/summationdisplay
iri, (13)
andEis the applied external electric field. In Eq. (13),
riis the position operator of the ith electron, measured
relative to the nucleus, and the summation is over all
electrons.
First consider an atom with zero nuclear spin, such as
198Hg+. To second order in the electric field, the Stark
shifts of the set of sublevels |γJM J/an}b∇acket∇i}htdepend on two pa-
rameters,αscalar(γ,J) andαtensor(γ,J), called the scalar
and tensor polarizabilities. In principle, when both mag-
netic and electric fields are present but are not parallel,
the energy levels are obtained by simultaneously diago-
nalizing the hyperfine, Zeeman, and Stark Hamiltonians.
In practice, the Zeeman shifts are normally much larger
than the Stark shifts, so that HEdoes not affect the di-
agonalization. In that case, the energy shift of the state
|γJM J/an}b∇acket∇i}htdue toHEis
∆WE(γ,J,M J,E) =−1

4αtensor(γ,J)[3M2
J−J(J+ 1)]
J(2J−1)(3E2

TreatingHEby second-order perturbation theory leads to the following expressions for the polarizabilities [19]:

The summations are over all levels other than |γJ/an}b∇acket∇i}ht. Equations (15) and(16) can be rewritten in terms of the osci llator

level.
For an atom with nonzero nuclear spin I, the quadratic Stark shift of the state |γJFM F/an}b∇acket∇i}htis

We make the approximation that hyperfine interac-
tion does not modify the electronic part of the atomic
wavefunctions (the IJ-coupling approximation of Angel
and Sandars [19]). This approximation is adequate for
the present purpose, which is to evaluate the Stark shift
of the199Hg+optical clock transition. Obtaining thedifferential Stark shift between the hyperfine levels of
the ground state, which is significant for the199Hg+
microwave frequency standard [11], requires going to a
higher order of perturbation theory [20]. In the IJ-
coupling approximation [19],
αscalar(γ,J,F ) =αscalar(γ,J), (20)

αtensor(γ,J).(21)
Equations (17) and (18) were used to evaluate the po-
larizabilities for the Hg+5d106s2S1/2and 5d96s2 2D5/2
levels. For the calculation of αscalar(S,1/2), the os-
cillator strengths for all electric-dipole transitions co n-
necting the 5 d106sconfiguration to the 5 d10np(n=
6,7,8) and 5d96s6pconfigurations were included. These
were taken from the theoretical work of Brage et al.
[21]. The final result is αscalar(S,1/2)/(4πǫ0) = 2.41×
10−24cm3, which compares very well with the value of
2.22×10−24cm3obtained by Henderson et al. from
a combination of experimental and calculated oscilla-
tor strengths [22]. For the calculations of αscalar(D,5/2)
andαtensor(D,5/2), the oscillator strengths for electric-
dipole transitions to the 5 d10np(n= 6,7,8), 5d105f,
and 5d96s6pconfigurations were taken from Brage et
al.[21]. The oscillator strengths for electric-dipole
transitions to the 5 d96s7pand 5d86s26pconfigurations
were taken from the Cowan-code calculations. The re-
sults wereαscalar(D,5/2)/(4πǫ0) = 3.77×10−24cm3and
αtensor(D,5/2)/(4πǫ0) =−0.263×10−24cm3. Evalu-
ating Eq. (21) for F=2 andF=3 in the 5 d96s2 2D5/2level, we obtain αtensor(D,5/2,2) =4
5αtensor(D,5/2) and
αtensor(D,5/2,3) =αtensor(D,5/2).
The tensor polarizability is much smaller than the
scalar polarizabilities and in any case does not contribute
if the external electric field is isotropic, as is the case for
the blackbody radiation field. The net shift of the op-
tical clock transition due to the scalar polarizabilities i s
1
2[αscalar(S,1/2)−αscalar(D,5/2)]E2. In frequency units,
the shift is −1.14×10−3E2Hz, whereEis expressed
in V/cm. The error in the coefficient is difficult to esti-
mate, particularly since it is a difference of two quanti-
ties of about the same size. However, the total shifts are
small for typical experimental conditions. If the electric
field is time-dependent, as for the blackbody field, the
mean-squared value /an}b∇acketle{tE2/an}b∇acket∇i}htis taken. At a temperature of
300 K, the shift of the optical clock transition due to the
blackbody electric field is −0.079 Hz. The mean-squared
blackbody field is proportional to the fourth power of
the temperature. For a single, laser-cooled ion in a Paul
trap, the mean-squared trapping electric fields can be
made small enough that the Stark shifts are not likely to5
be observable [23].
5. ELECTRIC QUADRUPOLE SHIFT
The atomic quadrupole moment is due to a depar-
ture of the electronic charge distribution of an atom from
spherical symmetry. Atomic quadrupole moments were
first measured by the shift in energy levels due to an
applied electric-field gradient in atomic-beam resonance
experiments [24, 25].
The interaction of the atomic quadrupole moment
with external electric-field gradients, for example those
generated by the electrodes of an ion trap, is analo-
gous to the interaction of a nuclear quadrupole moment
with the electric field gradients due to the atomic elec-
trons. Hence, we can adapt the treatment used for the
electric-quadrupole hyperfine interaction of an atom [26].
The Hamiltonian describing the interaction of external
electric-field gradients with the atomic quadrupole mo-
ment is
HQ=∇E(2)·Θ(2)=2/summationdisplay
q=−2(−1)q∇E(2)
qΘ(2)
−q,(22)
where ∇E(2)is a tensor describing the gradients of the
external electric field at the position of the atom, and
Θ(2)is the electric-quadrupole operator for the atom.
Following Ref. [26], we define the components of ∇E(2)
as
∇E(2)

defined by the diagonal matrix element in the state with
maximumMJ:
Θ(γ,J) =/an}b∇acketle{tγJJ|Θ(2)
0|γJJ/an}b∇acket∇i}ht. (29)
This is the definition used by Angel et al. [24].
In order to simplify the form of ∇E(2), we make a
principal-axis transformation as in Ref. [27]. That is, weexpress the electric potential in the neighborhood of the
atom as
Φ(x′,y′,z′) =A[(x′2+y′2−2z′2) +ǫ(x′2−y′2)].(30)
The principal-axis (primed) frame ( x′,y′,z′) is the one
in which Φ has the simple form of Eq. (30), while the
laboratory (unprimed) frame ( x,y,z) is the in which the
magnetic field is oriented along the zaxis.
The tensor components of ∇E(2)in the principal-axis
frame are obtained by taking derivatives of Φ( x′,y′,z′):

As long as the energy shifts due to HQare small rel-
ative to the Zeeman shifts, which is the usual case in
practice,HQcan be treated as a perturbation. In that
case, it is necessary only to evaluate the matrix elements
ofHQthat are diagonal in the basis of states |γJFM F/an}b∇acket∇i}ht,
where Fis the total atomic angular momentum, includ-
ing nuclear spin I, andMFis the eigenvalue of Fzwith
respect to the laboratory (not principal-axis) frame. Let
ωdenote the set of Euler angles {α,β,γ }that takes the
principal-axis frame to the laboratory frame. To be ex-
plicit, starting from the principal-axis frame, we rotate
the coordinate system about the zaxis byα, then about
the newyaxis byβ, and then about the new zaxis byγ
so that the rotated coordinate system coincides with the
laboratory coordinate system. We can set γ= 0, since
the final rotation about the laboratory zaxis, which is
parallel to B, has no effect. The states |γJFm /an}b∇acket∇i}ht′defined
in the principal-axis frame and the states |γJFµ /an}b∇acket∇i}htdefined
in the laboratory frame are related by

It is simple to show, by directly integrating the angu-
lar factor in square brackets in Eq. (45), that the average
value of the diagonal matrix elements of HQ, taken over
all possible orientations of the laboratory frame with re-
spect to the principal-axis frame, is zero. This also fol-
lows directly from the fact that the quantity in square
brackets is a linear combination of spherical harmonics.
It is less obvious that the average, taken over any three
mutually perpendicular orientations of the laboratory z
quantization axis, is also zero. This result is proven in the
Appendix. This provides a method for eliminating thequadrupole shift from the observed transition frequency.
The magnetic field must be oriented in three mutually
perpendicular directions with respect to the trap elec-
trodes, which are the source of the external quadrupole
field, but with the same magnitude of the magnetic field.
The average of the transition frequencies taken under
these three conditions does not contain the quadrupole
shift.
The reduced matrix element in Eq. (45) is, in the IJ-
coupling approximation,

The apparent sign reversal in Eq. (49) relative to Eqs. (26) a nd (29) is due to the fact that the quadrupole moment

6. APPENDIX. ANGULAR AVERAGING OF THE QUADRUPOLE SHIFT
For the purpose of describing the quadrupole shift, the orie ntation of the laboratory (quantization) axis with respect
to the principal-axis frame is defined by the angles βandα. In the principal-axis coordinate system, a unit vector
along the laboratory zaxis is defined in terms of βandαby
ˆz= (sinβcosα,sinβsinα,cosβ). (59)
We wish to show that the angular dependence of the quadrupole shift is such that the diagonal matrix elements given
by Eq. (45) average to zero, for ˆzalong any three mutually perpendicular directions.
An arbitrary set of three mutually perpendicular unit vecto rse1,e2, and e3can be parameterized by the set of
anglesθ,φ, andψin the following way:
e1= (sinθcosφ,sinθsinφ,cosθ), (60)
e2= (cosφcosθcosψ−sinφsinψ,sinφcosθcosψ+ cosφsinψ,−sinθcosψ), (61)
e3= (−cosφcosθsinψ−sinφcosψ,−sinφcosθsinψ+ cosφcosψ,sinθsinψ). (62)
It can be verified by direct computation that ei·ej=δij.8
The quadrupole shift can be evaluated for each of these three unit vectors substituted for ˆz[Eq. (59)] and the
average taken. First consider the average of the quantity (3 cos2β−1) that appears in Eq. (45): We use the fact that
cosβis the third component of ˆz, so the average is:
/an}b∇acketle{t3 cos2β−1/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= cos2θ+ sin2θcos2ψ+ sin2θsin2ψ−1, (63)
= cos2θ+ sin2θ−1, (64)
= 0, (65)
for arbitrary θ,φ, andψ. Similarly, the average of the other angle-dependent term i n Eq. (45), sin2β(cos2α−sin2α),
is calculated by making use of the fact that sin βcosαis the first component of ˆz, and sinβsinαis the second:
/an}b∇acketle{tsin2β(cos2α−sin2α)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=1
3[sin2θcos2φ−sin2θsin2φ
+(cosφcosθcosψ−sinφsinψ)2−(sinφcosθcosψ+ cosφsinψ)2
+(cosφcosθsinψ+ sinφcosψ)2−(sinφcosθsinψ−cosφcosψ)2], (66)
= 0, (67)
for arbitrary θ,φ, andψ. Hence, the matrix elements of
HQgiven by Eq. (45) average to zero for any three mu-
tually perpendicular orientations of the laboratory quan-
tization axis.

Abstract
The streamwise and transverse velocities are measured simu ltaneously in grid turbu-
lence at Reynolds numbers 100–300. We extract typical inter mittency patterns, which are
consistent with velocity profiles of Burgers and Lamb–Oseen vortices. The radii of these
vortex tubes are estimated to be several of the Kolmogorov le ngth.

11 Introduction
By using direct numerical simulations [1] and bubble-visua lization experiments [2], it has been estab-
lished that turbulence contains vortex tubes. Regions of in tense vorticity are organized into tubes.
Their radii and lengths are, respectively, of the orders of t he Kolmogorov length ηand the integral
length L. Their lifetimes are several turnover times of the largest e ddies. Vortex tubes occupy a small
fraction of the volume, and are embedded in a background flow w hich is random and of large scales
(see also reviews [3, 4, 5]).
The most familiar model for the tubes is the Burgers vortex [6 ]. This is an axisymmetric flow in
a strain field. In cylindrical coordinates, they are written as
uθ∝2ν
ar/parenleftBigg
1−exp/parenleftBigg
−ar2
4ν/parenrightBigg/parenrightBigg
(a >0), (1)
and
(ur,uθ,uz) =/parenleftbigg
−1
2ar,0,az/parenrightbigg
. (2)
Hereνis the kinetic viscosity. The above equation (1) describes a rigid-body rotation for small radii,
and a circulation decaying in radius for large radii. The vel ocity is maximal at r=r0= 2.24(ν/a)1
2.
Thus r0is regarded as the tube radius. The same circulation pattern is expected for the Lamb–Oseen
vortex, i.e., an unstretched diffusing tube [7].
The effect of vortex tubes on the velocity field is of great inte rest. This is especially the case at
high Reynolds numbers, Reλ≫100. They are achieved only in experiments, where a measurem ent
is made with a probe suspended in the flow, and merely a one-dim ensional cut of the velocity field
is obtained. The velocity signal at small scales is enhanced in a fraction of the volume [8]. This
small-scale intermittency is attributable to vortex tubes . However, measurements often deal with
the velocity component in the mean-flow direction alone (her eafter, the streamwise velocity u). The
transverse velocity vis more suited to detecting rotational flows such as those ass ociated with vortex
tubes [9, 10, 11].
This Letter reports simultaneous measurements of the strea mwise and transverse velocities in
high-Reynolds-number flows behind a grid. Grid turbulence i s almost isotropic and free from external
influences such as mean shear, and is hence suited to studying universal properties of turbulence [8, 12].
With a conditional averaging technique, we extract typical intermittency patterns, which turn out to
agree with velocity profiles of Burgers and Lamb–Oseen vorti ces. Then energetic importance of the
vortex tubes is studied as a function of the scale.
22 Experiments
The experiments were done in two wind tunnels of Meteorologi cal Research Institute. Their test
sections are of 3 ×2×18 and 0.8 ×0.8×3 m in size. Turbulence was produced by placing a grid
across the entrance to the test section. The grid consists of two layers of uniformly spaced rods, the
axes of which are perpendicular to each other. We used three g rids. The separation of the axes of
their adjacent rods are M= 10, 20, and 40 cm. The cross sections of the rods are, respect ively, 2
×2, 4×4, and 6 ×6 cm. The mean wind was set to be U≃4, 8, or 12 m s−1. We consequently
conducted 8 sets of experiments as summarized in Table 1.
The streamwise ( U+u) and transverse ( v) velocities were measured simultaneously with a hot-
wire anemometer. The anemometer is composed of a crossed-wi re probe and a constant temperature
system. The probe was positioned on the tunnel axis at d= 2, 3, or 6 m downstream of the grid. The
hot wires are 5 µm in diameter, 1.25 mm in effective length, 1.25 mm in separati on, and oriented at
±45◦to the mean-flow direction. Pitch-angle calibration was don e before each of the measurements.
The signal was low-pass filtered at fc= 4–12 kHz with 24 dB/octave, and sampled digitally at fs=
8–24 kHz with 16-bit resolution. To avoid aliasing, the samp ling frequency was set to be twice of the
filter cutoff frequency. The entire length of the signal was as long as 2 ×107points, since we have to
minimize statistical uncertainties.
The turbulence level, i.e., the ratio of the root-mean-squa re value of the streamwise fluctuation
∝angbracketleftu2∝angbracketright1
2to the mean streamwise velocity U, was always less than 10% (Table 1). This good characteristi c
of grid turbulence allows us to rely on the frozen-eddy hypot hesis of Taylor, ∂/∂t=−U∂/∂x , which
converts temporal variations into spatial variations in th e mean-wind direction [13].
To obtain the maximum spatial resolution, we set fcin such a way that U/fcis comparable to the
probe size, ∼1 mm. Since the probe is larger than the Kolmogorov length (se e below), the smallest-
scale motions of the flow were filtered out. The present spatia l resolution is nevertheless typical of
hot-wire anemometry [10, 14]. Though the RELIEF technique a chieves a greater resolution [9], it is
applicable only to the transverse velocity.
The flow parameters such as the integral length L, the Kolmogorov length η, the Taylor microscale
λ, and the Reynolds number Reλare given in Table 1. The Reλvalues range from 100 to 300. They
exceed those in almost all the past studies of grid turbulenc e [4, 8, 12]. This is because our wind
tunnels as well as our grids are large. The present data provi de for the first time an opportunity to
study vortex tubes in isotropic turbulence at high Reynolds numbers.
33 Conditional average
To examine the presence or absence of vortex tubes, we extrac t typical intermittency patterns in
the streamwise ( u) and transverse velocities ( v). The patterns are obtained by averaging the signals
centered at the position where the transverse-velocity inc rement δv(s) =v(x+s)−v(x) is enhanced
over its root-mean-square value by more than a factor of 3, i. e.,|δv(s)|>3∝angbracketleftδv(s)2∝angbracketright1
2. Here the scale
sis set to be the spatial resolution U/fc. Such an event is detected 2–5 times per the integral length.
When the increment is negative, we inverse the sign of the vsignal. The results for experiments 1,
3, 7, and 8 are shown in Fig. 1 (solid lines). We applied the con ditional averaging also for the other
experiments and with other threshold values. Their results are consistent with those in Fig. 1.
For reference, we show velocity profiles of Burgers vortices (dotted lines). The transverse compo-
nent is from the circulation flow (1), while the streamwise co mponent is from the radial inflow −1
2ar
of the strain field (2). Here it is assumed that the tube center passes through the probe position and
the tube axis is perpendicular to the streamwise and transve rse directions. The tube radius r0was
determined so as to reproduce the vpattern for each of the experiments.
Grid turbulence exhibits nearly the same vpattern as that of a Burgers vortex. Tubes are surely
ubiquitous at Reλ≃100–300. Their radii are estimated to be several of the Kolmo gorov length ( r0≃
6–8η). Since these estimates are well above the svalues, they should represent typical radii of vortex
tubes. Similar tube radii have been obtained from direct num erical simulations [1].
Theupattern of grid turbulence exhibits a trace of the strain fiel d. Thus at least some of the
vortex tubes are of Burgers type. However, the observed stra in is less significant than those of Burgers
vortices. There could exist unstretched tubes such as Lamb– Oseen vortices. In numerical turbulence
[1], vortex tubes are not always oriented to the stretching d irection. Once a tube is stretched to a
high amplitude, it decouples from the original strain field. This could be the case in grid turbulence
[12].
We applied the conditional averaging to larger values of s(not shown here). The velocity patterns
fors < L have nearly the same shapes as in Fig. 1. However, with increa sing the scale s, the
corresponding tube radius r0becomes large, while the amplitude of the upattern becomes small as
compared with that of the vpattern. Velocity signals at large scales reflect tubes whic h are inclined to
the mean-wind direction. The inclination does not change th e shape of the velocity pattern, but the
tube radius along the mean-wind direction rmwis greater than its true radius [11, 15]. In addition,
there could exist large-radius unstretched tubes which are not coupled with the strain field.
Velocity patterns are extracted also for enhancements of th e streamwise-velocity increment δu(s)
4=u(x+s)−u(x). The results for δu(s)>+3∝angbracketleftδu(s)2∝angbracketright1
2are shown in Fig. 2, while those for δu(s)<
−3∝angbracketleftδu(s)2∝angbracketright1
2are shown in Fig. 3. The vpattern, which was obtained by conditioning over the sign of
the local slope, is close to a velocity profile of a Burgers or L amb–Oseen vortex. Thus an enhancement
ofδu(s) is caused by a vortex tube. The upattern is explained by the circulation flow (1) crossing
the probe at some distance [15], together with the strain fiel d (2). The event δu(s)<−3∝angbracketleftδu(s)2∝angbracketright1
2is
detected two times more frequently than the event δu(s)>+3∝angbracketleftδu(s)2∝angbracketright1
2. This fact is consistent with
theupattern in Fig. 1, which exhibits a negative slope at the tube position.
We comment on controversial results in Figs. 1–3. First, the vpattern is somewhat extended as
compared with the velocity profile of a Burgers vortex, espec ially in experiments 7 and 8, where the
Reynolds number is high. Vortex tubes in grid turbulence mig ht not be exactly the same as Burgers
or Lamb–Oseen vortices. There might exist additional contr ibutions from inclined tubes. Second, the
upattern is embedded in a one-sided excursion, u≃a few tenths of ∝angbracketleftu2∝angbracketright1
2>0, which extends to x≃
±L. This might be due to an artifact of the frozen-eddy hypothes is. The streamwise velocity has a
fluctuation of the order of ∝angbracketleftu2∝angbracketright1
2over the scale L. Thus the speed at which a vortex tube crosses the
probe is higher or lower than the mean wind speed. The observe d radius of the tube is accordingly
smaller or larger than its rmwvalue. Since the scale sis at around the typical radius of vortex tubes,
inclined tubes with rmw> sare more numerous than tubes with rmw< s. Fast-moving tubes with
rmw> scould be captured in our averaging process for the scale sand cause the observed uexcursion.
We admit that these interpretations are tentative. It is imp ortant to conduct detailed analyses of data
obtained under wider ranges of conditions.
4 Flatness factor
To study energetic importance of vortex tubes as a function o f the scale, we compute the flatness
factor of the transverse-velocity increment δv(s) =v(x+s)−v(x):
flatness factor =∝angbracketleftδv(s)4∝angbracketright
∝angbracketleftδv(s)2∝angbracketright2. (3)
The flatness factor serves as a measure of the relative import ance between vortex tubes and the
background flow at each of the scales. If the velocity increme nts follow a Gaussian distribution, the
flatness factor is equal to 3. If the tail of the probability di stribution of the velocity increments is
more pronounced than that of a Gaussian, the flatness factor i s higher than 3. The velocity-increment
distribution observed at s≥L, where the background flow is predominant, is close to a Gauss ian
[3, 5, 9]. On the other hand, the vpattern for an enhancement of δv(s) ats < L is close to a velocity
5profile of a Burgers or Lamb–Oseen vortex, i.e., a model for th e vortex tubes ( §3).
Fig. 4 shows the flatness factor for the transverse velocity vin experiments 1, 3, 7, and 8. The
abscissa is the scale snormalized by the Kolmogorov length η. We indicate the integral length Land
the Taylor microscale λ(arrows). At large scales, the flatness factor is equal to the Gaussian value of
3. This is because the velocity increments reflect the backgr ound flow. As the scale is decreased from
the integral length, the flatness factor begins to increase. This is due to a progressive contribution of
vortex tubes. The tubes affect velocity increments at scales around their observed sizes, which could
be as large as their lengths ( ≃L). Around the Taylor microscale, the increase becomes signi ficant.
Fig. 4 also shows the flatness factor for the streamwise veloc ityu, which is less enhanced than
that for the transverse velocity v. This finding is consistent with past experimental and numer ical
studies [1, 14]. From our results in Figs. 2 and 3, the streamw ise flatness factor is expected to reflect
the energetic importance of vortex tubes, as in the case of th e transverse flatness factor. However, the
upattern for a vortex tube is less pronounced than the vpattern. The circulation flow of a vortex
tube contributes to the streamwise velocity only if its axis passes at some distance from the probe.
Moreover, the streamwise-velocity increment suffers from t he strain field.
The flatness factors in Fig. 4 are displayed in order of increa sing the Reynolds number (from top
to bottom). There appears to exist a trend of increasing the s mall-scale flatness. This appearance is
confirmed in Fig. 5, which shows the flatness factors at the fixe d scales s= 10η(a) and λ(b). Those
for the streamwise and transverse velocities increase in a s imilar manner with the Reλvalue. In both
the velocity components, vortex tubes are increasingly pre dominant over the background flow at a
higher Reynolds number. The increase of the flatness factors is more significant at the smaller scale s
= 10η, where the background flow is less important. We also studied the flatness factors at s≃L/2
(not shown here), which appear to depend on the grid size Mrather than the Reλvalue.
5 Conclusion
To summarize, vortex tubes are important to the intermitten cy pattern of the transverse velocity at
Reλ≃100–300. The pattern is well approximated as a velocity profi le of a Burgers or Lamb–Oseen
vortex, if its radius is several of the Kolmogorov length (Fi g. 1). The strain field associated with the
tube is present in the streamwise velocity. With increasing the Reynolds number, vortex tubes become
more predominant over the background flow (Figs. 4 and 5). We b elieve that these findings are new
and convincing, owing to long records of both the streamwise and transverse velocities in isotropic
turbulence at high Reynolds numbers. Similar experiments o f grid turbulence at much higher Reynolds
6numbers, Reλ≫300, would be crucial to proceed further [4, 5].

Velocity derivatives were obtained as ∂u/∂x = (8u(x+∆)−8u(x−∆)−u(x+2∆)+u(x−2∆))/12∆,
where ∆is the sampling interval U/fs. The experiments 1 and 2 were made in the 0.8 ×0.8×

is smaller by a factor of 0.5–0.6 than that derived from the udata. Thus our grid turbulence is
anisotropic at largest scales. On the other hand, the λandηvalues derived from the vdata agree
with those derived from the udata within ≤1%. The exceptions are the results for experiments 1

Two scenarios for the penetration of relativistically inte nse laser radiation
into an overdense plasma, accessible by self-induced trans parency, are presented.
For supercritical densities less than 1.5 times the critica l one, penetration of laser
energy occurs by soliton-like structures moving into the pl asma. At higher back-
ground densities laser light penetrates over a finite length only, that increases
with the incident intensity. In this regime plasma-field str uctures represent alter-
nating electron layers separated by about half a wavelength by depleted regions.
Recent developments of laser technology have opened possib ilities to explore laser-matter
interactions in regimes previously not achievable, [1]. Th is has meant a strong impulse to the
theoretical investigation of phenomena occurring in such e xtreme conditions, when electrons
quiver with relativistic velocities and new regimes may app ear. In particular, penetration of
ultra-intense laser radiation into sharp boundary, overde nse plasmas is playing a fundamental
role in the development of the fast ignitor fusion concept as well as of x-ray lasers, [2,3]. In
this regime the optical properties of the plasma are substan tially modified by the relativistic
increase of the inertial electron mass and the consequent lo wering of the natural plasma fre-
quency.
In the Seventies it was shown that this relativistic effect en ables super-intense electromagnetic
radiation to propagate through classically overdense plas mas, the so called induced transparency
effect, [4–7]. Recent numerical simulations based on relati vistic PIC codes [3,8,9,19], multifluid
plasma codes [10] and Vlasov simulations [11], as well as rec ent experiments [12,13], have re-
vealed a number of new features of the interaction dynamics, such as laser hole boring, enhancedincident energy absorption, multi-MeV electron beam, as we ll as ion beam production and gen-
eration of strong magnetic field.
An exact analytical study of the stationary stage of the pene tration of relativistically strong
radiation into a sharp boundary, semi-infinite, overdense p lasma, taking into account both
the relativistic and striction nonlinearity, has recently led to the determination of an effective
threshold intensity for penetration [14]. It is known that, for incident intensities lower than
the penetration threshold, an overdense plasma totally refl ects the radiation with the forma-
tion of a nonlinear skin-layer structure close to the plasma -vacuum boundary, [6]. For higher
intensities the radiation was found to propagate in the form of nonlinear traveling plane waves
[4,7], or solitary waves [15]. Further analysis has shown th at other scenarios are possible for
incident intensities exceeding the threshold, depending o n the supercritical plasma parameter,
[16]. Namely, if no>1.5 (nois the supercritical parameter defined as no=ω2
p/ω2, where
ωis the carrier frequency of the laser, ωp= (4πe2No/m)1/2is the plasma frequency of the
unperturbed plasma), a quasi-stationary state can be reali zed and, even if still in a regime of
full reflection, the laser energy penetrates into the overde nse plasma over a finite length which
depends on the incident intensity. The subsequent plasma-fi eld structure consists of alternat-
ing electron layers, separated by depleted regions with an e xtension of about half a wavelength
which acts as a distributed Bragg reflector. How do these stru ctures emerge as a consequence
of relativistic laser- overdense plasma interactions? Wha t kind of scenarios are realized? These
are the questions we will try to answer in this Letter.
Our model is based on relativistic fluid equations for the ele ctrons, in order to avoid plasma
kinetic effects which may shade or complicate the problem (se e, for example, [10,17]). Ions are
considered as a fixed neutralizing background due to the very short time scales involved, and
the slowly varying envelope approximation in time is assume d to be valid. The governing set
of self-consistent equations for the 1D case of interest in t he Coulomb gauge reads

vacuum and we consider circularly polarized laser radiatio n with the amplitude of the vector
potential normalized as eA/mc2= (a(x, t)/√
2)Re[(y+iz) exp(iωt)].
Eqs. (1)-(4) have been numerically integrated for the probl em of normally incident laser ra-
diation from vacuum ( x <0) onto a semi-infinite overdense plasma ( x≥0), the numerical
interval consisting of two parts: a short vacuum region to th e left of the plasma boundary and
a semi-infinite plasma region to the right.
As for the boundary conditions, at infinity in the plasma regi on the field must vanish, electrons
are immobile and the electron density unperturbed, conditi ons that are valid until this right
boundary is reached by field perturbations. At the vacuum-pl asma boundary the radiation
boundary condition reads
a−i∂a
∂x= 2ai(t), (5)
where ai(t) is the incident laser wave, which means that in the vacuum re gion the total field is
the sum of the incident and reflected wave. At the initial time electrons are in equilibrium with
ions, i.e., p/bardbl= 0, n= 1, ϕ= 0. Two different cases have been considered for the incident laser
pulse: a semi-infinite envelope turning on as ai(t) =ao(tanh t+ 1) and a Gaussian envelope.
Finally, the analysis has been performed for overdense plas mas (no>1) and for a quite wide
range of incident intensities both higher and lower than the penetration threshold.
For maximum incident intensities lower than the threshold, after a transient stage, a station-
ary regime with the formation of nonlinear skin-layers is re ached, which is in perfect agreement
with previous analytical solutions [6,14]. Furthermore, g ood agreement is found with the cal-
culated threshold for laser penetration, [14], for intensi ties above which the nonlinear skin-layer
regime is broken and the interaction leads to the penetratio n of laser energy into the overdenseplasma. Above this threshold, interactions drastically co me into play and the analysis of this
dynamical process, object of a second set of numerical studi es, has revealed two qualitatively
different scenarios of laser penetration into overdense pla smas, depending on the supercritical
parameter no. Ultimately, the qualitative behavior of the system occurs over a wide range of
incident intensities and thus it does not sensitively depen d on the specific values. If no≤1.5 we
have only a dynamical regime where laser radiation slowly pe netrates into the overdense plasma
by moving soliton-like structures. In Fig. (1), the tempora l evolution of the semi-infinite tanh-
shaped laser radiation interacting with a plasma with no= 1.3 is depicted. Solitary waves are
generated near the left boundary and then slowly propagate a s quasi-stationary plasma-field
structures with a velocity much lower than the speed of light . The contribution to the nonlin-
ear dielectric permittivity due to electron density pertur bations is weaker than the one due to
the relativistic nonlinearity, therefore we may consider t hese solutions as the extension of pure
low-relativistic soliton solutions, [15], to a regime of sl ightly higher amplitudes. Furthermore,
the excitation dynamics of such structures is similar to tha t of structures described by the
nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equation with a cubic nonlinearity for a slightly overdense plasma in the
low relativistic limit, (see, i.g., [18] and references the rein). The generation of similar structures
can be inferred from the results of PIC simulations, such as t hose presented in [19]. Thus, if
this were the case, i.e., if no−1≪1, solitary structures excited by incident intensities sli ghtly
above the threshold may be considered as exact solutions.
When the incident pulse has a Gaussian shape, penetration is seen to occur by a finite
number of soliton-like structures. As shown in Fig. 2(a) a Ga ussian pulse with amplitude
ao= 0.74 and pulse duration τ= 200, for the same plasma parameters as in Fig. 1, generates
two propagating solitary structures instead of a continuou s train. The corresponding spectral
analysis, see Fig. 2(b), shows that the spectrum of the trans mitted radiation is on average
redshifted, while that of the reflected radiation presents a n unshifted and a blueshifted part
which can be accounted for in terms of Doppler shift due to the moving real vacuum-plasma
boundary.
It should be underlined that in the limit of strongly relativ istic intensities, when localized
solutions have the form of few-cycle pulses as in [15], our mo del cannot be applied since theslowly varying envelope approximation will break down, and the question of what happens at
intensities largely exceeding the threshold is still open.
At higher background densities, no>1.5, the dynamic regime of interaction is completely
different, as shown in Fig. 3, where a tanh-like pulse with ao= 1.3 that is an intensity of
3.6×1018W/cm2for a wavelength of 1 µminteracts with a plasma with No= 1.6Ncr(Ncr=
mω2/4πe2is the critical density).
The earliest stage of the spatial evolution presents the cha racteristic distribution of a nonlin-
ear skin-layer, but the ponderomotive force acting at the va cuum-plasma boundary is pushing
electrons into the plasma, thus shifting the real boundary t o a new position. When the field
amplitude on the real boundary exceeds the threshold calcul ated in [14], the interaction leads
to the creation of a deep electron density cavity whose size i s about half a wavelength and
which acts as a resonator. The whole plasma-field structure t hen starts to slowly penetrate
into the plasma and the same process is repeated at the bounda ry, where now the perturbed
plasma has different parameters.
What is interesting is that, after a transient stage during w hich deep intensity cavities are
produced, the plasma settles down into a quasi-stationary p lasma-field distribution, allowing for
penetration of the laser energy over a finite length only, whi ch increases with increasing incident
intensities. The electron density distribution becomes st ructured as a sequence of electron layers
over the ion background, separated by about half a wavelengt h wide depleted regions. The peak
electron density increases from layer to layer reaching an a bsolute maximum in the closest layer
to the vacuum boundary. At the same time the width of the layer s becomes more and more
narrow. Such nonlinear plasma structures can act as a distri buted Bragg reflector and they are
very close to those described analytically in [16].
If the incident laser pulse has a finite duration, the electro magnetic energy penetrates into
the plasma over a fixed finite length but, after the laser drive has vanished, the energy localized
inside the plasma is reflected back towards the vacuum space, as in some sort of ”boomerang”
effect. The transient regime is obviously more complicated a s the depleted regions surrounded
by electron layers act like resonators, with the electromag netic energy being excited by the
incident pulse. Fig. 4 shows how these structures excited by a pulse 400 fslong ( λ= 1µm)bounce back. Clearly, these excited localized plasma-field structures may live much longer than
the duration time of the drive pulse. However, it should be un derlined that, on a longer time
scale, the dynamics can be rather unpredictable. For instan ce, in a run with a laser drive 200 fs
long, the interaction between two structures has resulted i n one long-lived cavity, whereas a
second run evolved into a moving localized structure simila r to those presented in Fig. (1).
It is obvious that, when dealing with long-time dynamics, ab sorption processes acting on the
electromagnetic energy in the cavities should be taken into account.
In conclusion, we have shown that there are two qualitativel y different scenarios of laser
energy penetration into overdense plasmas in the regime of r elativistic self-induced trans-
parency, depending on the background supercritical densit y. For slightly supercritical densities
No<1.5Ncr, the penetration of laser energy occurs in the form of long-l ived soliton-like struc-
tures which are generated at the vacuum-plasma boundary pla sma and then propagate into
the plasma with low velocity. At higher plasma densities No>1.5Ncr, the interaction results
in the generation of plasma-field structures consisting of a lternating electron and electron dis-
placement regions, with the electromagnetic energy penetr ating into the overdense plasma over
a finite length only, as determined by the incident intensity .

A simple method of calculating the Wannier-Stark resonance s in 2D lattices is suggested. Using
this method we calculate the complex Wannier-Stark spectru m for a non-separable 2D potential
realized in optical lattices and analyze its general struct ure. The dependence of the lifetime of
Wannier-Stark states on the direction of the static field (re lative to the crystallographic axis of the
lattice) is briefly discussed.
I. INTRODUCTION
The quantum states of a particle in a periodic po-
tential plus homogeneous field (known nowadays as the
Wannier-Stark states, WS-states in what follows) are one
of the long-standing problems of single-particle quantum
mechanics. The beginning of the study of this problem
dates back to the paper by Bloch of 1929, followed by
contributions of Zener, Landau, Wannier, Zak and many
others [1]. In the late eighties the problem got a new
impact by the invention of semiconductor superlattices.
The unambiguous observation of the WS-spectrum in a
semiconductor superlattice [2] ended a long theoretical
debate about the nature of WS-states, and now it is com-
monly accepted that they are the resonance states of the
system. Besides, WS-states were recently studied in a
system of cold atoms in an optical lattice [3] and some
other (quasi) one-dimensional systems.
Although WS-states are resonances, i.e. metastable
states, in the theoretical analysis of related problems
they were usually approximated by stationary states
(one-band, tight-binding, and similar approximations).
Beyond the one-band approximation, WS-states in the
semiconductor and optical lattices were studied in recent
papers [4] and [5] by using the scattering matrix approach
of Ref. [6] (see also Ref. [7] for details). This approach ac-
tually solves the one-dimensional Wannier-Stark problem
and supplies exhaustive information about 1D WS-states.
In the present letter we extend the method of Ref. [6, 7]
to the case of two-dimensional lattices. For the first time
we find the complex spectrum of 2D WS-states and ana-
lyze its general structure.
To be concrete, we choose the following system:
H=p2/2 +V(r) +F·r,r= (x,y),(1)
V(r) = cosx+ cosy−ǫcosxcosy, (2)
where 0 ≤ǫ≤1 [8]. Two limiting cases ǫ= 0 and
ǫ= 1 correspond to an ‘egg crate’ potential, for which
the system is separable, and a ‘quantum well’ potential,
where the coupling between two degrees of freedom is
maximal (see Fig. 1). Let us also note that the choice
ǫ= 1 corresponds to a 2D optical potential created by
two standing laser waves crossing at right angle. Thus
the results presented below can be directly applied to the
system of cold atoms in a 2D optical lattice.

II. 2D WANNIER-BLOCH SPECTRUM
We briefly recall the key points of the 1D theory. The
spectrum of the Bloch particle in the presence of a static
field consists of several sets of equidistant levels
Eα,l=Eα+ 2πFl−iΓα/2, (3)
known as Wannier-Stark ladders of resonances. In
Eq. (3), 2πstands for the lattice period, Fis the am-
plitude of the static force, l= 0,±1,...is the site index
and the index α= 0,1,...labels different ladders. The
lifetime of WS-states Ψ α,l(x) is defined by the resonance
width Γ αasτα= ¯h/Γα. Typically, the lifetime ταrapidly
decreases with increasing index α. Because of this only
the first few WS-ladders are of physical importance.
Along with the WS-states Ψ α,l(x), one can also intro-
duce Wannier-Bloch states (WB-states) by
ψα,k(x) =/summationdisplay
lΨα,l(x)exp(i2πkl). (4)
As follows from the definition (4), the continuous evo-
lution of WB-states obeys the equation ψα,k(x,t) =
exp(−iEαt/¯h)ψα,k−Ft/¯h(x), where Eα=Eα−iΓα/2.
Thus, WB-states can be alternatively defined as the
eigenfunction of the evolution operator over the Bloch pe-
riodTB= ¯h/F. (Note that the eigenvalues of the evolu-
tion operator form degenerate bands Eα(k) =Eα). Addi-
tionally, to ensure that ψα,k(x) are resonance states of the
system, the eigenvalue equation for the evolution opera-
tor should be accomplished by the specific non-hermitian
boundary condition. It was proven in Ref. [7] that the
required boundary conditions are imposed by the trunca-
tion of the evolution operator matrix in the momentum
representation.
We proceed with the two-dimensional case. As men-
tioned above, WB-states in a 1D lattice can be defined2
FIG. 2: Illustration of the transformation (8). The sub-
lattices and the reduced Brillouin zone are shown for the cas e
q=r= 1.
as the non-hermitian eigenstates of the evolution opera-
tor over one Bloch period. In the 2D problem there are
two different Bloch periods associated with the two com-
ponents of the static field. Therefore the notion of the
WB-states can be introduced only in the case of com-
mensurate periods, i.e., in the case of ‘rational’ directio n
of the field ( q,rare coprime integers):
Fx=qF
(r2+q2)1/2, F y=rF
(r2+q2)1/2.(5)
Provided condition (5) is satisfied, we define 2D WB-
states as the non-hermitian eigenfunctions of the sys-
tem evolution operator over the common Bloch period
TB= (r2+q2)1/2¯h/F. Using the Kramers-Henneberger
transformation, the evolution operator can be presented
in the form

˜H(t) =(ˆpx−Fxt)2

which reveals its translational invariance (the hat over
the exponent sign denotes time ordering). Alternatively,
we can rotate the coordinates so that the direction of the
field coincides with the x′-axis:
x′=qx+ry
(r2+q2)1/2, y′=qy−rx
(r2+q2)1/2. (8)
Transformation (8) introduces a new lattice period a=
2π(r2+q2)1/2and reduces the size of the original Bril-
louin zone s=r2+q2times (see Fig. 2). Associ-
ated with the new lattice period is a new Bloch time
Ta= (r2+q2)−1/2¯h/F, which isstimes shorter than
the original Bloch time TB. Using ˆp′
x=−i¯h∂/∂x′and
ˆp′
y=−i¯h∂/∂y′, the time evolution operator over the new
Bloch time Tain the rotated coordinates has the form

Similar to the 1D case, the truncation of the infinite uni-
tary matrix (13),
|n′
x|,|m′
x| ≤N→ ∞,|n′
y|,|m′
y| ≤M→ ∞,(14)
which is presumed in the numerical calculations, auto-
matically imposes the non-hermitian boundary condition
along thex′-direction. (Truncation of the matrix over the
indexn′
y,m′
ydoes not change the hermitian boundary
condition along the y′-direction.) Then the eigenvalues
Eobtained by numerical diagonalization of the truncated
matrix correspond to the quantum resonances.
In the transformed coordinates, the unit cell with area
a2= (2π)2scontainssdifferent sublattices (see Fig. 2),
and each of them supports its own WB-states. The
sublattices are related by primitive translations of the
unrotated lattice, and correspondingly the energies of3
their WB-states differ by multiples of aF/s. Further-
more, as function of the quasimomentum, the energies

x,k′

index andi= 1,...,s is the sublattice index) do not de-
pend onk′

k′
xin Eq. (13) can be compensated by shifting the time
origin in Eq. (9). For the y′-degree of freedom the Bloch
theorem can be applied, and therefore E(i)
β(k′
x,k′
y) is a
periodic function of k′
ywith generally nonzero amplitude
∆Eβ. Thus, assuming a rational direction of the field,
in each fundamental energy interval aF, the static field
inducess=r2+q2identical sub-bands, separated by
the energy interval aF/s. Simultaneously, the size of the
Brillouin zone is reduced by a factor s. This result re-
sembles the one obtained for 1D Wannier-Stark system
affected by a time-periodic perturbation. In the latter
case – provided the condition of comensurability between
the Bloch period and the period of the driving force is
fulfilled – the quasienergy spectrum of the system has a
similar structure [9].
We conclude this section with a remark concerning the
numerical procedure. Although the reduced Brillouin
zone approach described above is the most consistent,
we found it more convenient to diagonalize the evolu-
tion operator without preliminary rotation of the coordi-
nate. In other words, in order to find the WB-spectrum,
we solve the eigenvalue equation (12) with the truncated
matrix constructed on the basis of the operator (6). As
a result of the diagonalization, one obtains eigenvalues
Eβ(kx,ky) with quasimomentum k= (kx,ky) defined
in the original Brillouin zone. Because the WB-bands
are uniform along the direction of the field, Eβ(kx,ky)
is a periodic function of both kxandkywith periods
1/rand 1/qrespectively. The energies obtained in this
way can then be used to construct the complete WB-
spectrum E(i)
β(k′
x,k′
y),i= 1,...,s . In the next section
we present results of a numerical calculation of the dis-
persion relation Eβ(kx,ky) for the periodic potential (2)
and moderate values of the static field F= (Fx,Fy),
|F|=F=const.
III. NUMERICAL RESULTS
It is instructive to begin with the separable case ǫ= 0.
In this case, 2D WB-states are given by the product of
1D states and 2D WB-energies are just the sum of 1D
energies. In what follows we restrict ourselves to analyz-
ing only the ground band. First we consider the real part
of the spectrum E0= Re( E0).
It was shown in the previous section that for rational
directions of the field the ground WB-subbands repeat
with energy splitting aF/s. As an example, Fig. 4 shows
the relative positions of these subbands as a function of
the angleθ= arctan(r/q) for ¯h= 2 andF= 0.08√
2. We
recall that in the considered case of a separable potential
the bands have zero width for any θ/negationslash= 0,π/2.
FIG. 4: Real (left) and imaginary (right) parts of the dis-
persion relation Eβ(kx, ky) for the ground WB-states and dif-
ferent values of the potential parameter ǫ= 0, 0 .1,0.5, and
1 (from top to bottom). The system parameters are ¯ h= 2,
Fx=Fy= 0.08, and ky= 0.
The main difference between separable and non-
separable potentials is that the subbands E(i)
0(k) have
a finite width in the latter case. This is illustrated by
Fig. 4(a) which shows the dispersion relation E0(kx,ky=
0) for the potential (2) with (from top to bottom) ǫ= 0,
0.1, 0.5, and 1. The direction of the field is θ=π/4,
i.e.r=q= 1. The amplitude of the static field and
the value of the scaled Planck constant are the same as
in Fig. 4. It is seen in Fig. 4(a) that the WB-bands
gain a finite width as ǫis increased. We also calculated
the dispersion relation E0(kx,ky= 0) for different an-
glesθ= arctan(r/q), withr,q≤6. It was found that the
band widths ∆ E0= ∆E0(r,q) are typically much smaller
than the mean energy separation between the subbands.
Thus, for practical purpose, one can neglect the band
width for the real part of the spectrum. (An exception is
the caseθ= 0,π/2 where the width of the WB-bands ap-
proximately coincides with the width of the Bloch band
in the absence of the static field.) Neglecting the width
of the bands they were found to form a structure similar
to that shown in Fig. 4.
We proceed with the analysis of the decay rate of the
WB-states, which is determined by the imaginary part
of the complex energy, Γ 0=−2Im(E0). In the case of
a separable potential the dependence Γ 0= Γ0(F,θ) is
obviously given by the equation
Γ0(F,θ) = Γ′
0(Fcosθ) + Γ′
0(Fsinθ), (15)
where Γ′
0(F′) stands for the width of 1D WS-resonances.
For the parameters used (¯ h= 2 andF= 0.08√
2) the
dependence (15) is shown in Fig. 5 by a solid line. The
maximum around θ=π/2 originates from a peak-like
behavior of Γ′
0(F′) and is explained by the phenomenon
of 1D resonant tunneling [7].
For a non-separable potential and rational direction
of the field the decay rate depends on the quasimomen-4
tum. For the particular case θ=π/4 this dependence is
depicted in Fig. 4(b). We would like to note the compli-
cated behavior of Γ 0(k). The oscillating character of the
decay rate is an open problem for the present day. Be-
cause the decay rate depends on the quasimomentum it
might be convenient to introduce the notion of ¯Γ0, where
the average is taken over the reduced Brillouin zone. The
dots in Fig. 1 show the values of ¯Γ0for some rational di-
rection of the field and two different values of ǫ. It is
seen that for a small ǫ= 0.1 the ratio ∆Γ 0/¯Γ0is small
and the obtained dependence ¯Γ0=¯Γ0(r,q) essentially
reproduces that of the separable case. However, this is
not valid for ǫ= 1, where the decay rate varies wildly.
Thus, in the case of strong coupling between two degrees
of freedom the description of WS-state by a mean decay
rate is insufficient.
IV. CONCLUSION
We studied Wannier resonances in a 2D system, mainly
discussing the complex energy spectrum of the Wannier-Bloch states. However, because the latter are related to
the Wannier-Stark states by a Fourier transformation,
the obtained results can be easily reformulated in terms
of the Wannier-Stark resonances. Then the following is
valid. (i) Neglecting the asymptotic tail, WS-states are
localized functions along the direction of the field. (This
follows from the degeneracy of WB-bands along the field
direction.) (ii) For any rational direction of the field
[see Eq. (5)] WS-states are Bloch waves in the transverse
direction. (iii) For a non-separable potential the corre-
sponding energy bands have a finite width. (iv) For the
realpart of the spectrum, the band widths are small and
can be well neglected for r,q> 1.
We also found a nontrivial dependence of the resonance
width (inverse lifetime of WS-states) on the direction of
the field. Because the value of the resonance width de-
fines the decay of the probability, a complicated behavior
of the survival probability is expected when the direction
of the field is varied. The detailed study of the probabil-
ity dynamics is reserved for future publication.

Abstract
The first three dynamic multipole polarizabilities for the g round state of hydrogen, helium,
hydride ion, and positronium hydride PsH have been computed using the variational Monte
Carlo (VMC) method and explicitly correlated wave function s. Results for the static dipole
polarizability by means of the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) me thod and the finite field ap-
proach show the VMC results to be quite accurate. From these d ynamic polarizabilities van der
Waals dispersion coefficients for the interaction of PsH with ordinary electronic systems can be
computed, allowing one to predict the dispersion energy for the interaction between PsH and
less exotic atoms and molecules.

1While experimentalists relay everyday on positrons and pos itronium atoms (Ps) to collect informa-
tion about microscopic features of macroscopic systems lik e solutions, polymers and crystals, much
less effort has been devoted to the theoretical understandin g of the complex interactions that take
place between ordinary matter and positrons. Among the expl ored avenues of this field, we mention
the interest in predicting the stability of classes of compo unds like e+M and MPs [1-9], where M
represents an atomic or molecular system, and the calculati on of the cross sections in the scattering
process of e+and Ps on a molecule or an atom [10-16].
On the contrary, the evaluation of the interaction energy be tween e+M or MPs and a molecule
or atom is an almost unexplored issue [17]. We believe this fa ct is primarily due to the need of
a very accurate trial wave function to describe correctly th e correlated motions of electrons and
positrons. So far, only variational calculations with expl icitly correlated Gaussians (ECG) [1, 5] or
Hylleraas-type functions [7-9], and the DMC method [2-4] ha ve shown to be able to adequately
recover the correlation energy in positron-containing sys tems.
Related to the calculation of the interaction energies is th e calculation of second order properties
of positron-containing systems, a problem whose surface ha s been barely scratched in the past
[6]. These properties, specifically the dynamic polarizabi lities, are strictly related to the van der
Waals coefficients that describe the long range interaction b etween systems [18], representing a way
to tackle the problem of the asymptotic intermolecular inte ractions. Recently, Caffarel and Hess
showed that these properties can be computed by means of quan tum Monte Carlo simulations [19]
connecting the imaginary-time-dependent dynamics of the u nperturbed system with the transition
probabilities of a reference diffusion process. In this work we apply a modified version of their method
to compute dynamic multipole polarizabilities for PsH, H, H e, and H−as a way to understand the
behaviour of these systems when interacting with an externa l field, and as a first step towards the
definition of the interaction potential between PsH and the o rdinary matter.
As far as we know, the work by Le Sech and Silvi [6] is the only on e reporting calculations on
the effect of a constant electric field on PsH. In that work they computed both the static dipole
polarizability, 123 a.u., and the behaviour of the annihila tion rate Γ 2γversus the intensity of the field
employing explicitly correlated wave functions, numerica l integration, and a variation-perturbation
approach. As by-product of our calculations of the potentia l energy curve of the e+LiH system [20],
we obtained an estimation of the static dipole polarizabili ty of 49(2) a.u., a value quite different from
the one computed by Le Sech and Silvi. Since we believe this di fference to be too large to admit an
explanation based on the different accuracy of the methods us ed to compute this value, we plan to
solve this puzzle in this work.
In the method by Caffarel and Hess [19] the frequency-depende nt second order correction to the
ground state energy is written as a sum of the two time-center ed autocorrelation functions of the
perturbing potential V
E(2)
±(ω) =−/integraldisplay∞
0e±tωCV V(t)dt (1)
where the autocorrelation function CV V(t) is given by
CV V(t) =/angbracketleftV(0)V(t)/angbracketrightΨ2
0− /angbracketleftV(0)2/angbracketrightΨ2
0(2)
Here, /angbracketleft.../angbracketrightΨ2
0indicates that the average has to be taken using the Langevin dynamics that samples
the square of the exact ground state wave function of the unpe rturbed system.
Caffarel and Hess [19] showed that it is possible to compute CV V(t) employing an optimized
trial wave function and the pure-diffusion Monte Carlo (PDMC ) method, an alternative algorithm
to the commonly used DMC with branching, where each walker ex plicitly carries its own weight
along all the simulation [21].
In their work on He and H 2, Caffarel, R´ erat, and Pouchan [22] reported that the autoco rrelation
function CV V(t) becomes dominated by the noise at large times, and this fact might be due to the
fluctuations of the walker weights that increase during a PDM C simulation, while the value of the
autocorrelation function itself becomes smaller. While th e second effect is intrinsic to the stochastic
2method, the first can be reduced employing a more accurate tri al wave function that is able to
reduce the weight fluctuations. Another possibility, givin g up the exactness of the method (i.e. not
sampling the exact Ψ2
0), is represented by the sampling of a quite accurate trial wa ve function without
carrying around the weight for each walker, a method we call P erturbation Theory variational Monte
Carlo (PT-VMC). This algorithm can be useful for those syste ms whose autocorrelation function
has a large decaying time, as the case of H−and PsH. This large decaying time will increase the
fluctuations of the carried weights, and hence the statistic al noise in the autocorrelation functions
in the long-time region.
As a test of the correctness of our computer program and of the accuracy of the method, we
computed the first three autocorrelation functions, and hen ce the dynamic polarizabilities up to the
octupolar one, for the two systems H and He. The analytical fo rms of the perturbing potentials were
taken from Ref. [22]. While for H we employed the exact ground state wave function and compared
with the analytic values of the multipole polarizability [1 8], for the He case we used a 25 term
Hylleraas-type wave function optimized by means of the stan dard energy minimization [23]. We
fitted the numerical CV V(t) results of our simulations with a linear combination of thr ee exponential
functions
CV V(t)≃3/summationdisplay
i=1aie−λit(3)
in order to have an analytical representation of the autocor relation functions at all the times. Since
it is important to reproduce accurately the long time behavi our of CV V, the smallest λiin Eq. 3
was independently calculated fitting ln[CV V] in the long time region with a first order polynomial.
This choice was found to improve sensibly the goodness of the total fitting in this time range.
These analytical representations of CV Vallow us to compute easily the integrals in Eq. 1 and to
obtain simple expressions of α(ω). The parameters obtained by the fitting procedure are avail able
from the authors upon requests.
For both systems we found excellent agreement of the static p olarizabilities (H αdip=4.495 au,
αquad=15.034 au, αoct=133.105 au; He αdip=1.382 au, αquad=2.401 au, αoct=10.367 au) with
the exact results for H [18], with PDMC results by Caffarel, R´ erat, and Pouchan [22], with Glover
and Weinhold upper and lower bounds for He [24], and with the a ccurate results by Yan et al. [25].
At this point we would like to stress that, although in the PT- VMC method the walkers carry
always a unitary weight because the branching process is abs ent, similarly to the PDMC method
the time step has to be chosen short enough to produce only a sm all time step bias. For these
two systems we found the time step of 0.01 hartree−1to be adequate to compute statistically exact
results.
As a check of the ability of the PT-VMC method to compute polar izabilities also for highly
polarizable systems whose exact wave function is more diffus e than the one of He and H, we selected
the hydride ion as test case. For this system we optimized a 5 t erm Hylleraas-type wave function
whose average properties are shown in Table 1 together with t he accurate results obtained in Ref.
[26]. Table 1 contains also the multipole static polarizabi lities computed in this work employing a
time step of 0.01 hartree−1, and the static polarizability computed by Glover and Weinh old [24].
Comparing the mean values in Table 1, one can notice that our 5 term wave function gives lower
values than the ones obtained in Ref. [26] except for /angbracketleftr−/angbracketright. This fact may explain the underestimation
of the αdipby PT-VMC, that recovers 92(2) percent of the accurate value . Nevertheless, this result
represents a fairly good estimation of the static dipole pol arizability for H−, a quantity that appears
difficult to compute even with more complex approaches [27].
As far as PsH is concerned, we computed the autocorrelation f unctions using two different trial
wave functions, including one (Ψ1
T) and 28 (Ψ28
T) terms [3]. The choice of two trial wave functions
to guide the Langevin dynamics was aimed at testing the depen dency of CV V(t) on the quality of
the wave function itself.
Employing the PT-VMC method and our wave functions for PsH, w e computed the autocorre-
lation functions for three perturbation potentials:
3V1=x1+x2−xp (4)
V2=3(x2
1+x2
2−x2

2+z2
2)−xp(y2

p)]
2(6)
where the subscripts 1 and 2 indicate the two electrons, whil e the subscript pindicates the positron.
These potentials are the cartesian forms of the dipole, quad rupole, and octupole moment operators
for the PsH system. Figure 1 shows the averaged correlation f unctions for V1,V2, andV3as obtained
by the VMC method employing the 28 term trial wave function. E ach value of the correlation
functions was computed employing roughly 1010configurations. From Figure 1 one can note the effect
at large evolution times of the dispersion of the “trajector ies” used to compute the autocorrelation
function. This effect makes difficult the reproduction of the l ong-time regime of these functions due to
the exponential decay and the roughly constant statistical error introduced by the method. Moreover,
the statistical error strongly depends on the perturbation potential whose autocorrelation function
is computed, i.e., more specifically on the dispersion of its mean value over the Ψ2
Tdistribution.
The results for the static multipole polarizabilities, i.e . for ω= 0, computed with both trial
wave functions, are shown in Table 2. While for the dipole pol arizabilities there is a good agreement
between the two values, larger differences are present for th e higher multipole polarizabilities. This
fact is an indication of the different accuracy of the two func tions in approximating the exact wave
function at large distances from the nucleus. In fact it can b e shown that if one approximates
the autocorrelation functions taking care only of the excit ation to the first state of the appropriate
symmetry, the autocorrelation function is proportional to /angbracketleftV2
i/angbracketright − /angbracketleftVi/angbracketright2, where Viis the perturbing
potential. Comparing the dipole results with the value obta ined by Le Sech and Silvi [6], again
the large difference of the computed polarizabilities is app arent. As a final check for this problem,
we computed the energy of the PsH when immersed in a weak stati c electric field Fby means of
standard DMC simulations adding the linear potential F(x1+x2−xp). To make our simulations
stable, i.e. to avoid the dissociation of the PsH, we truncat ed the effect of the linear potential at
|xi|= 15 bohr. We fitted the DMC results by means of the simple polyn omial a−αdipF2/2, where
αdipis the static dipole polarizability, obtaining αdip= 42.3(8) a.u. We believe that this result,
statistically indistinguishable from the αdipobtained by the PT-VMC method, gives the definitive
answer to the problem of the PsH polarizability. Neverthele ss, the discrepancy between our PT-
VMC and DMC αdipand the one computed by Le Sech and Silvi [6] remains puzzling . In our
experience [3], to compute the matrix elements they needed, millions of configurations must be
used even for systems like PsH to avoid to be fooled by a false c onvergence. Unfortunately, Le Sech
and Silvi did not report any information about the number of c onfigurations they used to compute
the integrals, so we cannot judge the numerical accuracy of t heir results.
An attempt to estimate the total accuracy of our αresults can be made comparing the polariz-
ability values obtained by the two wave functions. These diff er by 10 percent at most, a value that
we feel might give a conservative estimate of the relative er rors for the higher multipolar fields.
As stated previously, although dynamical polarizabilitie s are interesting on their own, they repre-
sent the basis to compute van der Waals dispersion coefficient s for the interaction between different
systems. Therefore, following Ref. [25], we present the cal culation of the C6,C8, andC10dispersion
coefficients between H, He, and PsH as a first effort to obtain acc urate information on the interac-
tion between positronic systems and ordinary matter in the f ramework of the Born-Oppenheimer
approximation and second-order perturbation theory.
Using the fitted parameters for H, He, and PsH we computed the c oefficients for the interaction
between the ordinary systems and between these and PsH. The v alues are reported in Table 3. Since
the values for the H-H, H-He, and He-He coefficients are accura tely known [25], we use them as a
test of the accuracy of our approach: all the values differ fro m the accurate results by Yan et al.
[25] at most by one part over hundreds.
4Comparing the Cn’s for the ordinary systems with the ones for the interaction with PsH, it strikes
that these last are more than an order of magnitude larger tha n the formers. These features, due
to the larger PsH polarizability, indicates that positroni c systems strongly interact with ordinary
matter even at large distances. Unfortunately, nothing can be said about location and depth of
the total potential minimum. This strongly depends also on t he effect of the repulsion between the
positron cloud and the H and He nuclei, so that we believe a sup ermolecule approach is needed.
In a previous work [17] we computed the interaction energy be tween H and PsH, showing that
this system could have a metastable state. Although the disp ersion coefficients for the interaction
between He and PsH are smaller than those for PsH and H, they mi ght be large enough to give rise
to a potential well that could support at least a stable state . If this turns out to be the case, the
He-PsH system could be the lightest van der Waals (i.e. bound by means of dispersion forces) stable
dimer.

Abstract
The energies at geometries close to the equilibrium for the e+BeO and e+LiF ground states
were computed by means of diffusion Monte Carlo simulations. These results allow us to predict
the equilibrium geometries and the vibrational frequencie s for these exotic systems, and to
discuss their stability with respect to the various dissoci ation channels. Since the adiabatic
positron affinities were found to be smaller than the dissocia tion energies for both complexes,
we propose these two molecules as possible candidates in the challenge to produce and detect
stable positron-molecule systems.

1Despite the wide diffusion of positron and positronium (Ps) b ased analytical techniques to study
solids [1], polymers [2], solutions [3], and organic molecu les in the gas phase [4, 5], a direct ob-
servation of the compounds between the positron and an atom o r a molecule is still lacking. In fact
Γ2γannihilation rate from positron annihilation life-time sp ectroscopy and angular correlation anni-
hilation radiation are the only standard measurements carr ied out during the interaction positron-
matter. The prediction of these observables is required to i nfer the formation of the positronic
compounds, a task that appears complex, especially for heav y atoms and ions or large molecules,
due to the high accuracy that is needed for the wave function t hat describes the complexes.
The theoretical work on positron containing systems is scar ce, and in our opinion this is due
to the difficulty in describing accurately the electron-posi tron correlation using standard quantum
chemistry methods like Self Consistent Field (SCF), Configu ration Interaction, and Coupled Cluster
methods [6].
Two more approaches have been pursued during the last years, namely Density Functional The-
ory (DFT) [7] and variational calculations based on Explici tly Correlated Gaussian (ECG) trial wave
functions [8, 9]: they also suffer from practical drawbacks. Although DFT methods have a conve-
nient scaling of the computational cost versus the system co mplexity, the exact exchange-correlation
potential between electrons and the correlation potential between electrons and positron are only
approximately known. As far as ECG wave functions are concer ned, two groups [8, 9] showed that
accurate results can be obtained even for positron containi ng systems. Unfortunately, the ECG
wave functions suffer from the fast increase of the computati onal cost with the number of particles,
therefore preventing their use for medium and large systems . Nevertheless, accurate results can be
obtained employing the frozen-core approximation for atom s and molecules [8].
In our ongoing project to study positronic compounds as a way to understand matter-antimatter
interactions and to predict the existence of a bound state fo r positron-atom or positron-molecule
complexes [10-15], we employ the fixed node diffusion Monte Ca rlo (FN-DMC) method [16]. This
technique is known to be able to recover most of the correlati on energy between electrons and
between electrons and a positron [10-15,17-19]. Although F N-DMC is a powerful technique, it is
not easy to reduce the nodal error introduced by the fixed node approximation. This result might
be achieved in principle by employing more accurate trial wa ve functions or resorting to the nodal
release technique, but both approaches do not easily apply t o large systems, i.e. more than ten
electrons, due to their computational cost. Nevertheless, the FN-DMC method has given accurate
positron affinities, as well as electron affinities [20], for sy stems up to twelve electrons, both atoms
and molecules, exploiting the cancellation of nodal errors [12].
In the quest for stable positronic complexes, we studied the potential surface for e+LiH by FN-
DMC calculations [21] and found that the equilibrium distan ce and the vibrational transitions are
different from those of LiH, opening the possibility for a spe ctroscopic detection of this compound.
However, the LiH adiabatic positron affinity (APA) is larger t han the dissociation energy (DE), and
a third body would be required to dissipate the excess energy . We suggested to start from a van der
Waals complex of LiH with a rare gas, and to attach the positro n to this so that the rare gas should
dissipate the excess energy. Similar consideration can be e xtracted from the work by Mitroy and
Ryzhikh [22], where they employed a full non-adiabatic appr oach and ECG functions to establish
the stability of e+LiH.
To avoid this complex mechanism, in this Letter we investiga te other systems to see if we can
find a molecule whose APA is smaller than the DE, allowing the p ositron to be attached and to
form the complex without the intervention of a third body. If the spectroscopic properties of this
compound differ from those of the parent molecule, it could be a good candidate for experimental
observation.
We have performed accurate calculations of the total energy for e+BeO and e+LiF systems at
various internuclear distances by means of FN-DMC. These re sults allow us to obtain the equilibrium
distances for both molecules and to compute the vibrational frequencies.
In the FN-DMC algorithm we sample a distribution of configura tions in 3N dimensional space
that represents Ψ 0ΨT, where Ψ 0is the ground state wave function having the same nodal surfa ces
2of the trial wave function Ψ T. Using this distribution we obtain a MC estimate of the fixed n ode
energy E0using the mixed estimator

In this equation fi(ra) is a function that contains explicitly the dependence on th e spatial coordinates
of the positron and kiis a vector of parameters for the i–th term of the linear expan sion.
While the φα,βorbitals were obtained by means of standard SCF calculation s on the parent
neutral molecule, the other parameters of Ψ Twere optimized minimizing the variance of the local
energy using a fixed sample of configurations. Although this m ethod produces wave functions whose
properties are generally less accurate than those obtained by minimizing the energy [27], it is much
faster. Moreover, the FN-DMC energy value depends only on th e location of the nodal surfaces
of the electronic part of the wave function, so that it is not e xtremely important to have the best
possible description of its positronic part. Nevertheless , if one is interested in properties different
from the energy, whose accuracy is strongly dependent on the quality of the trial wave function (for
example the δ(r+−)), a re-optimization of all the wave function parameters is needed [14].
All the FN-DMC simulations were carried out using a target po pulation of 5000 configurations
and a time step of 0.001 hartree−1. Few more simulations employing a time step of 0.0005 hartre e−1
were run to check for the absence of the time step bias in the me an energy values. The FN-DMC
energy results for various internuclear distances of e+LiF and e+BeO are shown in Table 1.
We fitted these energy values by means of a second order polyno mial and computed equilibrium
geometrical parameters and the fundamental vibrational wa venumber ωefor the two complexes
e+7Li19F and e+9Be16O. All the results are collected in Table 2.
Comparing the results in Table 2 with the experimental value s [28] for7Li19F (Re= 2.955
bohr, ωe= 910.34 cm−1) and9Be16O (Re= 2.515 bohr, ωe= 1487.32 cm−1), we note that after the
addition of the positron both molecules have larger equilib rium distances and vibrational frequencies.
While the increase of Reis similar to the one we found for e+LiH [21] and can be rationalized
invoking the repulsive interaction of the positron with the nuclei, the increase of stiffness of the two
bonds is an unexpected result. However, it must be pointed ou t that the computed frequencies have
an estimated statistical accuracy of the order of 10%, and th is means that care must be taken in
discussing the change of this property.
In a previous work [12] we computed the total energies for LiF (-107.4069(9) hartree) and BeO
(-89.7854(13) hartree) at their equilibrium distances by m eans of FN-DMC. Together with the Emin
values shown in Table 2, these energies allow us to compute th e adiabatic positron affinity (APA)
for these two systems, namely 0.022(1) hartree for e+LiF, and 0.025(2) hartree for e+BeO. These
two values are smaller than the APA for the e+LiH (0.0366(1) hartree). This result was already
3observed for the vertical PA [12], and is in contrast with the fact that the dipole moment of LiF
(µ=6.33 Debye) and BeO ( µ=6.26 Debye) are larger than the one of LiH ( µ=5.88 Debye) [29].
This indicates that the dipole moment is not sufficient to pred ict a qualitative trend in the PA, and
that this value strongly depends on the specific features of e ach molecule.
As far as the dissociation of these complexes is concerned, c are must be taken in choosing balanced
values for the energies of the fragments for the possible dis sociation channels. For a positron-diatomic
molecule complex e+MX, where M=Li or Be and X=O or F, the possible fragmentations are e+M +
X, M++ PsX, M + e+X, and PsM + X+. Although not all the energy values of the fragments are
known, one can safely assume that the PsM + X+dissociation pattern has the highest energy with
respect to the other possibilities. This is due firstly to the large ionization potential of X (0.5005
hartree for O, and 0.6403 hartree for F) [30], at least twice a s large as the positronium (Ps) ground
state energy (-0.25 hartree); secondly, to the usually smal l binding energy of Ps to metal atoms (for
instance, the binding energy of Ps to Li in the PsLi complex is just 0.01158 hartree [8]). Moreover,
we believe it is reasonable to discard also the M + e+X channel, since the possibility of obtaining
binding between e+and X is hindered by the small polarizability of X. To support this conclusion,
we stress that even for HF and H 2O, that are both polar molecules, DMC did not show binding wit h
the positron [12]. Although this is not a proof, it strongly s uggests that e+O and e+F probably
are not bound. Accepting these conclusions, we are left only with e+M + X and M++ PsX as
possible fragmentations. To compute the total energy for bo th channels we use the ECG results for
e+Li (-7.532323 hartree), e+Be (-14.669042 hartree), Li+(-7.279913 hartree), and Be (-14.667355
hartree) [8], and the FN-DMC results for O (-75.0518(4) hart ree), F (-99.7176(3) hartree) [31],
PsO (-75.3177(5) hartree), and PsF (-100.0719(8) hartree) [11]. Moreover, we estimate the Be+
energy (-14.3248 hartree) subtracting the ionization pote ntial (0.3426 hartree) [30] to the total
energy of Be. Using these results, we end up with an energy of - 107.2499(3) hartree for e+Li and
F, and an energy of -107.3518(8) hartree for Li+and PsF. This fragmentation, similar to the one
found for e+LiH (i.e. Li+and PsH), is primarily driven by the small value of the Li ioni zation
potential. Differently, for e+BeO we obtain -89.6642(5) hartree for Be+and PsO, and -89.7208(4)
hartree for e+Be and O, so that the most stable dissociation fragments pres ent a positron-atom
bound state. Using the lowest energy dissociation threshol d for the two systems one gets a DE
of 0.080(1) hartree for e+LiF, and 0.090(2) hartree for e+BeO. Both these values are larger than
the APA, and this fact means that the two positron-molecule c omplexes do not dissociate after
positron addition to the parent molecules. This outcome is d ifferent from what we found for the
addition of e+to LiH, where the e+LiH complex breaks up due to the excess of the APA with
respect to the DE [21]. Therefore, it does not appear necessa ry for LiF and BeO to use a third
body, and a simple positron addition will give birth to stabl e complexes in rotovibrational excited
states. As previously stated, the possibility to produce th ese stable species could give the chance to
experimentally detect stable positron complexes. Roughly speaking, a mean lifetime on the order of
10−9seconds is expected for these systems, and this may be large e nough to allow a spectroscopical
analysis in the reaction chamber by means of Fourier Transfo rm Infrared Spectroscopy if a sufficient
concentration of e+MX can be produced, and if the frequency shift after positron attachment is large
enough that the vibrational spectrum of the complex does not overlap with the neutral molecule one.
Unfortunately the large uncertainty in ωedoes not allow a quantitative prediction of this frequency
shift. Moreover, positrons having kinetic energy larger th an the difference DE-APA can open the
various fragmentation channels depending on the excess of t heir relative energies. For instance, the
collision between positron and BeO can produce e+Be and O as fragments, so that the annihilation
of e+with the electronic cloud of Be can be directly recorded from the 2 γphotons. Moreover, it
might be possible to detect the stable state of PsF, a system t hat, differently from PsCl and PsBr,
has not been prepared in solution [3].
In conclusion, we have presented accurate APA and DE for e+LiF and e+BeO systems computed
by means of FN-DMC. These results allow us to discuss possibl e mechanisms of formation for
positron-molecule complexes by direct attachment of e+to the molecules, and the possibility to
produce e+M and PsX systems. It should be now interesting to compute the Γ2γannihilation rate
4for these complexes, in order to predict their mean lifetime after e+addition. Unfortunately, more
technical work on the method appears to be necessary before t hese calculations can be carried out
for these large systems.

ever, these results suggest that nonparametric density est imation may have
something new to say about current physical theory.1 INTRODUCTION 1
1 Introduction
During the past thirty years the theory of Nonparametrics ha s been domi-
nating the scene in mathematical statistics. Parallel to th e accelerating dis-
covery of new technical results, a consensus has been growin g among some
researchers in the area, that we may be witnessing a promisin g solid road
towards the elusive Universal Learning Machine (see e.g. [1 , 2]).
The queen of nonparametrics is density estimation. All the f undamen-
tal ideas for solving the new problems of statistical estima tion in functional
spaces (smoothing, generalization, optimal minimax rates , etc.) already ap-
pear in the problem of estimating the probability density (i .e. the model)
from the observed data. More over, it is now well known that a s olution
for the density estimation problem automatically implies s olutions for the
problems of pattern recognition and nonparametric regress ion as well as for
most problems that can be expressed as a functional of the den sity.
In this paper I present a technical result, about optimal non parametric
density estimation, that shows at least at a formal level, a s urprising simi-
larity between nonparametrics and General Relativity. Sim ply put,
probability mass curves the data space with horizons.
What exactly it is meant by this is the subject of this paper bu t before
proceeding further a few comments are in order. First of all, let us assume
that we have a set {x1,...,x n}of data. Each observation xjconsisting of
pmeasurements that are thought as the pcoordinates of a vector in I Rp.
To make the data space into a probability space we endow I Rpwith the
field of Borelians but nothing beyond that. In particular no a priori metric
structure on the data space is assumed. The nobservations are assumed to
benindependent realizations of a given probability measure Pon I Rp. By
the Lebesgue decomposition theorem, for every Borel set Bwe can write,
P(B) =/integraldisplay
Bf(x)λ(dx) +ν(B) (1)
whereνis the singular part of Pthat assigns positive probability mass to
Borel sets of zero Lebesgue volume. Due to the existence of pa thologies like
the Cantor set in one dimension and its analogies in higher di mensions, the
singular part νcannot be empirically estimated (see e.g. [3]). Practicall y all
of the papers on density estimation rule out the singular par t ofPa priori.
The elimination of singularities by fiat has permitted the co nstruction of a1 INTRODUCTION 2
rich mathematical theory for density estimation, but it has also ruled out a
priori the study of models of mixed dimensionality (see [4]) that may be nec-
essary for understanding point masses and spacetime singul arities coexisting
with absolutely continuous distributions.
We assume further that in the regions where f(x)>0 the density fis of
classC2i.e., it has continuous second order partial derivatives.
1.1 Nonparametrics with the World in Mind
The road from Classical Newtonian Physics to the physics of t oday can be
seen as a path paved by an increasing use of fundamental conce pts that
are statistical in nature. This is obvious for statistical m echanics, becoming
clearer for quantum theory, and appearing almost as a shock i n General
Relativity. Not surprisingly there have been several attem pts to take this
trend further (see e.g. [5, 6, 7, 8]) in the direction of Physics as Inference .
Now suppose for a moment that in fact some kind of restatement of the
foundations of physics in terms of information and statisti cal inference will
eventually end up providing a way to advance our current unde rstanding of
nature. As of today, that is either already a solid fact or rem ains a wild spec-
ulation, depending on who you ask. In any case, for the trend t o take over, it
will have to be able to reproduce all the successes of current science and make
new correct predictions. In particular it would have to repr oduce General
Relativity. Recall that the main lesson of General Relativi ty is that space
and time are not just a passive stage on top of which the univer se evolves.
General Relativity is the theory that tells (through the fiel d equation) how to
build the stage (left hand side of the equation) from the data (right hand side
of the equation). The statistical theory that tells how to bu ild the stage of
inference (the probabilistic model) from the observed data is:Nonparametric
Density Estimation . It is therefore reassuring to find typical signatures of
General Relativity in density estimation as this paper does . Perhaps Physics
is not just a special case of statistical inference and all th ese are only coin-
cidences of no more relevance than for example the fact that m ultiplication
or the logarithmic function appear everywhere all the time. That may be
so, but even in that case I believe it is worth noticing the con nection for
undoubtedly GR and density estimation have a common goal: The dynamic
building of the stage .
More formally. Let fbe a multivariate probability density function with
continuous second order partial derivatives. Consider the problem of esti-2 ESTIMATING DENSITIES FROM DATA 3
mating the true value of f(z)>0 at a single point z, fromnindependent
observations. It is shown that, fastest possible estimator s (including the k-
nearest neighbor and kernel as well as the rich class of estim ators in [9, the-
orem3.1]) have minimum asymptotic mean square errors when t he space of
observations is thought as conformally curved. The optimal metric is shown
to be generated by the Hessian of fin the regions where the Hessian is defi-
nite. Thus, the peaks and valleys of fare surrounded by horizons where the
Hessian changes signature from Riemannian to pseudo-Riema nnian.
The result for the case of generalized k-nearest neighbor es timators [9]
has circulated since 1988 in the form of a technical report [1 0]. Recently
I found that a special case of this theorem has been known sinc e 1972 [11]
and undergone continuous development in the Pattern Recogn ition literature,
(see e.g. [12, 13, 14, 15]).
2 Estimating Densities from Data
The canonical problem of density estimation at a point z∈I Rpcan be stated
as follows: Estimatef(z)>0fromnindependent observations of a random
variable with density f.
The most successful estimators of f(z) attempt to approximate the den-
sity of probability at zby using the observations x1,...,x nto build both, a
small volume around zand, a weight for this volume in terms of probability
mass. The density is then computed as the ratio of the estimat ed mass over
the estimated volume. The two classical examples are the k-n earest neighbor
(knn) and the kernel estimators.
2.1 The knn
The simplest and historically the first example of a nonparam etric density
estimator is [16] the knn. The knn estimator of f(z) is defined for k∈
{1,2,...,n }as,
hn(z) =k/n
λk(2)
whereλkis the volume of the sphere centered at the point z∈I Rpof radius
R(k) given by the distance from zto the kth-nearest neighbor observation.
Ifλdenotes the Lebesgue measure on I Rpwe have,2 ESTIMATING DENSITIES FROM DATA 4
λk=λ(S(R(k))) (3)
where,
S(r) ={x∈I Rp:/ba∇dblx−z/ba∇dbl ≤r} (4)
The sphere S(r) and the radius R(k) are defined relative to a given norm,
/ba∇dbl · /ba∇dblin I Rp. The stochastic behavior of the knn depends on the specific va lue
of the integer kchosen in (2). Clearly, in order to achieve consistency (e.g .
stochastic convergence of hn(z) asn→ ∞ towards the true value of f(z)>0)
it is necessary to choose k=k(n) as a function of n. The volumes λkmust
shrink, to control the bias, and consequently we must have k/n→0 forhn(z)
to be able to approach a strictly positive number. On the othe r hand, we
must havek→ ∞ to make the estimator dependent on an increasing number
kof observations and in this way to control its variance. Thus , for the knn
to be consistent, we need kto increase with nbut at a rate slower than n
itself.
The knn estimator depends not only on kbut also on a choice of norm.
The main result of this paper follows from the characterizat ion of the /ba∇dbl · /ba∇dbl
that, under some regularity conditions, produces the best a symptotic (as
n→ ∞) performance for density estimators.
2.2 The kernel
If we consider only regular norms /ba∇dbl · /ba∇dbl, in the sense that for all sufficiently
small values of r>0,
λ(S(r)) =λ(S(1))rp≡βrp(5)
then, the classical kernel density estimator can be written as:
gn(z) =Mµ
λ(S(µ))(6)
where,
Mµ=1
n
/summationdisplay
xj∈S(µ)Kµ−1(xj−z)
(7)
The smoothing parameter µ=µ(n) is such that k= [nµp] satisfies the
conditions for consistency of the knn, Kµ−1(x) =K(µ−1x) where the kernel2 ESTIMATING DENSITIES FROM DATA 5
functionKis a non negative bounded function with support on the unit
sphere (i.e. K(x) = 0 for /ba∇dblx/ba∇dbl>1) and satisfying,
/integraldisplay
/bardblx/bardbl≤1K(x)dx=β (8)
Notice that for the constant kernel (i.e. K(x) = 1 for /ba∇dblx/ba∇dbl ≤1) the estimator
(6) approximates f(z) by the proportion of observations inside S(µ) over the
volume ofS(µ). The general kernel function Kacts as a weight function
allocating different weights Kµ−1(xj−z) to thexj’s insideS(µ). To control
bias (see (32) below) the kernel Kis usually taken as a decreasing radially
symmetric function in the metric generated by the norm /ba∇dbl·/ba∇dbl. Thus,Kµ−1(xj−
z) assigns a weight to xjthat decreases with its distance to z. This has
intuitive appeal, for the observations that lie closer to zare less likely to fall
off the sphere S(µ), under repeated sampling, than the observations that are
close to the boundary of S(µ).
The performance of the kernel as an estimator for f(z) depends first and
foremost on the value of the smoothness parameter µ. The numerator and
the denominator of gn(z) depend not only on µbut also on the norm /ba∇dbl · /ba∇dbl
chosen and the form of the kernel function K. As it is shown in theorem (8)
these three parameters are inter-related.
2.3 Double Smoothing Estimators
The knn (2) and the kernel (6) methods are two extremes of a con tinuum.
Both,hn(z) andgn(z) estimate f(z) asprobability-mass-per-unit-volume .
The knn fixes the mass to the deterministic value k/nand lets the volume λk
to be stochastic, while the kernel method fixes the volume λ(S(µ)) and lets
the massMµto be random. The continuum gap between (2) and (6) is filled
up by estimators that stochastically estimate mass and volu me by smoothing
the contribution of each sample point with different smoothi ng functions for
the numerator and denominator (see [9]).
Letb≥1 and assume, without loss of generality that bkis an integer.

3 The Truth as n→ ∞?
In nonparametric statistics, in order to assess the quality of an estimator
fn(z) as an estimate for f(z), it is necessary to choose a criterion for judg-
ing how far away is the estimator from what it tries to estimat e. This is
sometimes regarded as revolting and morally wrong by some Ba yesian Fun-
damentalists. For once you choose a loss function and a prior , logic alone
provides you with the Bayes estimator and the criterion for j udging its qual-
ity. That is desirable, but there is a problem in high dimensi onal spaces.
In infinite dimensional hypothesis spaces (i.e. in nonparam etric problems)
almost all priors will convince you of the wrong thing! (see e .g. [17, 18]
for a non-regular way out see [19]). These kind of Bayesian no nparametric
results provide a mathematical proof that: almost all fundamental religions
are wrong, (more data can only make the believers more sure that the wron g
thing is true!). An immediate corollary is that: Subjective Bayesians can’t
go to Heaven . Besides, the choice of goodness of fit criterion is as ad-hoc (an
equivalent) to the choice of a loss function.
3.1 The Natural Invariant Loss Function and Why the
MSE is not that Bad
The most widely studied goodness of fit criterion is the Mean S quare Error
(MSE) defined by,
(MSE) =E|fn(z)−f(z)|2(11)
where the expectation is over the joint distribution of the s amplex1,...,x n.
By adding and subtracting T=Efn(z) and expanding the square, we can
express the MSE in the computationally convenient form,
(MSE) = E|fn(z)−T|2+|T−f(z)|2
= (variance) +(bias)2(12)3 THE TRUTH AS N→ ∞ ? 7
By integrating (11) over the z∈I Rpand interchanging Eand/integraltext(OK by
Fubbini’s theorem since the integrand ≥0) we obtain,
(MISE) =E/integraldisplay
|fn(z)−f(z)|2dz (13)
The Mean Integrated Square Error (MISE) is just the expected L2distance
offnfromf. Goodness of fit measures based on the ( MSE ) have two
main advantages: They are often easy to compute and they enab le the rich
Hilbertian geometry of L2. On the other hand the ( MSE ) is unnatural and
undesirable for two reasons: Firstly, the ( MSE ) is only defined for densities
inL2and this rules out a priori all the densities in L1\L2which is unaccept-
able. Secondly, even when the ( MISE ) exists, it is difficult to interpret (as
a measure of distance between densities) due to its lack of in variance under
relabels of the data space. Many researchers see the expecte dL1distance
between densities as the natural loss function in density es timation. The L1
distance does in fact exist for all densities and it is easy to interpret but it
lacks the rich geometry generated by the availability of the inner product in
L2. A clean way out is to use the expected L2distance between the wave
functionsψn=√fnandψ=√f.
Theorem 1 TheL2norm of wave functions is invariant under relabels of
the data space, i.e.,

that it is defined even when f(z) = 0.4 SOME CLASSIC ASYMPTOTIC RESULTS 9

We collect here the well known Central Limit Theorems (CLT) f or the knn
and kernel estimators together with some remarks about nonp arametric den-
sity estimation in general. The notation and the formulas in troduced here
will be needed for computing the main result about optimal no rms in the
next section.

4.1 Asymptotic Mean Square Errors
Letfnbe an arbitrary density estimator and let Zn=√
k(fn(z)−f(z)). Now
suppose that fn(z) is asymptotically normal, in the sense that when k=k(n)
satisfies (24) for some a >0, we have (25) true. Then, all the moments of
Znwill converge to the moments of the asymptotic Gaussian. In p articular
the mean and the variance of Znwill approach B(z) andV(z) respectively.
Using, (12) and (24) we can write,
limn→∞n4/(p+4)E|fn(z)−f(z)|2=V(z)
a+B2(z)
a(43)
We call the right hand side of (43) the asymptotic mean square error (AMSE)
of the estimator fn(z). The value of acan be optimized to obtain a global
minimum for the (AMSE) but it is well known in nonparametrics that the
raten−4/(p+4)is best possible (in a minimax sense) under the smoothness
asumption 1 (see e.g. [20]). We can take care of the knn, the ke rnel, and the
double smoothing estimators simultaneously by noticing th at in all cases,
(AMSE) = α1a−1+α2a4/p(44)

Notice that (49) follows from (48), (23) and the fact that H(z) is the Hes-

density estimation. Thus, when fnis either the knn, the kernel, or one of

This is a hard variational problem. However, it is worth noti cing that the
simplest case is obtained when the exponent is 1, i.e. when th e dimension
of the data space is p= 4. Assuming we were able to find a solution, this
solution would still depend on the pparameters ρ1,...,ρ p. A choice of ρj’s
is equivalent to the choice of a global metric for the data spa ce. Notice also,
that the exponent becomes 2 for p=∞and that for p≥3 (but not for
p= 1 or 2) there is the possibility of non trivial (i.e. differen t from uniform)
super-efficient models for which estimation can be done at rat es higher than
n−4/(p+4). These super-efficient models are characterized as the non ne gative5 CHOOSING THE OPTIMAL NORM 14

Recall that there are no non trivial (different from constant ) non negative
super-harmonic functions in dimensions one or two but there are plenty of
solutions in dimension three and higher. For example the New tonian poten-

will do, provided the data space is compact. The existence of (hand picked)
super-efficient models is what made necessary to consider bes t rates only in
the minimax sense. Even though we can estimate a Newtonian po tential
model at faster than usual nonparametric rates, in any neigh borhood of the
Newtonian model the worst case scenario is at best estimated at raten−4/(p+4)
under second order smoothness conditions.
5 Choosing the Optimal Norm
All finite (p <∞) dimensional Banach spaces are isomorphic (as Banach
spaces) to I Rpwith the euclidian norm. This means, among other things,
that in finite dimensional vector spaces all norms generate t he same topology.
Hence, the spheres {x∈I Rp:/ba∇dblx/ba∇dbl ≤r}are Borelians so they are Lebesgue
measurable and thus, estimators like the knn (2) are well defi ned for arbitrary
norms. It is possible, in principle, to consider norms that a re not coming from
inner products but in this paper we look only at Hilbert norms /ba∇dbl · /ba∇dbl Aof the
form,
/ba∇dblz/ba∇dbl2
A=zTATAz (57)
whereA∈Λ with Λ defined as the open set of real non-singular p×p

and theA-symmetric (i.e. /ba∇dbl · /ba∇dbl Aradially symmetric) kernel, KA,
KA(x) = (K◦A)(x) =K(Ax) (60)
whereKsatisfies assumption 2 and it is I-symmetric, i.e., radially symmetric
in the euclidian norm. This means that K(y) depends on yonly through the
euclidian length of y, i.e. there exists a function Fsuch that,
K(y) =F(yTy) (61)
The following simple theorem shows that all A-symmetric functions are really
of the form (60).
Theorem 6 For anyA∈Λ,˜KisA-symmetric if and only if we can write
˜K(x) =K(Ax)for allx∈I Rp(62)
for someI-symmetric K.
Proof: ˜K(x) isA-symmetric iff ˜K(x) =F(/ba∇dblx/ba∇dbl2

ChooseK(x) =˜K(A−1x). ThisKisI-symmetric since K(x) =F/parenleftig

F(xTx). More over, ˜K(x) =˜K(A−1(Ax)) =K(Ax). Thus, (62) is necessary
forA-symmetry. It is also obviously sufficient since the assumed I-symmetry
ofKin (62) implies that ˜K(x) =F((Ax)T(Ax)) =F(/ba∇dblx/ba∇dbl2

symmetric.

An important corollary of theorem 6 is,
Theorem 7 LetA,B∈Λ. Then, ˜KisAB-symmetric if and only if ˜KB−1

Proof: By the first part of theorem 6 we have that ˜K=K◦A◦BwithK
someI-symmetric. Thus, ˜K◦B−1=K◦AisA-symmetric by the second
part of theorem 6.

Let us denote by β(A,K) the total volume that a kernel Kassigns to the

In order to understand the effect of changing the metric on a de nsity esti-
mator like the kernel (6), it is convenient to write gnexplicitly as a function
of everything it depends on; The point z, the metric A, theA-symmetric
kernel function ˜K, the positive smoothness parameter µand, the data set

The following result shows that kernel estimation with metr icABis equiv-
alent to estimation of a transformed problem with metric A. The explicit
form of the transformed problem indicates that a perturbati on of the met-
ric should be regarded as composed of two parts: Shape and vol ume. The
shape is confounded with the form of the kernel and the change of volume is
equivalent to a change of the smoothness parameter.
Theorem 8 LetA,B∈Λ,µ >0, and ˜KanAB-symmetric kernel. Then,
for allz∈I Rpand all data sets {x1...,x n}we have,
gn(z;AB,˜K,µ,{x1,...,x n}) =gn(ˆBz;A,˜K◦B−1,|B|−1/pµ,{ˆBx1,...,ˆBxn})

5.1 Generalized knn Case with Uniform Kernel
In this section we find the norm of type (57) that minimizes (47 ) for the
estimators of the knn type with uniform kernel which include the double
smoothers with K(x) = 1. As it is shown in theorem 8 a change in the
determinant of the matrix that defines the norm is equivalent to changing
the smoothness parameter. The quantity (57) to be minimized was obtained
by fixing the value of the smoothness parameter to the best pos sible, i.e. the
one that minimizes the expression of the (AMSE) (43). Thus, t o search for
the best norm at a fix value of the smoothness parameter we need to keep
the determinant of the matrix that defines the norm constant. We have,

5.3 Best Norm With General Kernels
In this section we solve the problem of finding the optimal nor m in the general
class of estimators (9).
Before we optimize the norm we need to state explicitly what i t means to
do estimation with different kernels and different norms. Fir st of all a general
kernel function is a nonnegative bounded function defined on the unit sphere
generated by a given norm. Hence, the kernel only makes sense relative to
the given norm. To indicate this dependence on the norm we wri teKAfor
the kernel associated to the norm generated by the matrix A. We let
KA=K◦A (121)
whereK=KIis a fix mother kernel defined on the euclidian unit sphere.
Equation (121) provides meaning to the notion of changing th e norm without
changing the kernel. What this means is not that the kernel is invariant under
changes ofAbut rather equivariant in the form specified by (121). Recall also
that a proper kernel must satisfy (22). To control bias we mus t also require
the kernels to satisfy (23). It is easy to see (just change the variables) that
if the mother kernel Khas these properties so do all its children KAwith
the only proviso that |A|= 1 in order to get (22). Notice also that radial
symmetry of Kis a sufficient but not a necessary condition for (23).
The optimization of the norm with general kernels looks more complicated
than when the kernel is uniform since the best ( AMSE )∗also depends on/integraltext

general case treated in this paper. From, (39), (40) and (45) we have,

(122)5 CHOOSING THE OPTIMAL NORM 25
where the constant depends only on the dimension of the space . Even though
the dependence of (122) on Alooks much more complicated than (47) this is
only apparently so. In fact the two expressions define very si milar optimiza-
tion problems as we now show.
First notice that the search for best Amust be done within the class
of matrices with a fix determinant. For otherwise we will be ch anging the
value of the smoothness parameter that was fixed to the best po ssible value
in order to obtain (122). If we let |A|= 1 we have,

We also have that,

From (123) and (124) we deduce that the term in (122) within cu rsive brack-
ets is the same for all matrices Aand it depends only on the fix kernel K.
Finally notice that the value of ∆ in (122) is given by
∆ =/integraldisplay

whereG(x) =K(x) +λ0in the general case. By retracing again the steps

There are three cases to be considered.
1. All theρj(G) =ρforj= 1,...,p . The optimization problem reduces
to the case when the kernel is uniform and therefore it has the same
solution.6 ASYMPTOTIC RELATIVE EFFICIENCIES 26
2. All theρj(G) have the same sign, i.e. they are all positive or all nega-
tive. If e.g. all ρj>0 just replace bjwith√ρjbjand use the formulas
obtained for the uniform kernel case.
3. Some of the ρj(G) are positive and some are negative. This case can be
handled like the previous one after taking care of the signs f or different
indicesj.
The first case is the most important for it is the one implied wh en the kernels
are radially symmetric. The other two cases are only include d for complete-
ness. Clearly if we do estimation with a non radially symmetr ic kernel the
optimal norm would have to correct for this arbitrary builti n asymmetry,
effectively achieving at the end the same performance as when radially sym-
metric kernels are used. The following theorem enunciates t he main result.
Theorem 11 In the general class of estimators (9) with radially symmetr ic
(mother) kernels, best possible asymptotic performance (u nder second order
smoothness conditions) is achieved when distances are meas ured with the best
metrics obtained when the kernel is uniform.
6 Asymptotic Relative Efficiencies
The practical advantage of using density estimators that ad apt to the form
of the optimal metrics can be measured by computing the Asymp totic Rel-
ative Efficiency (ARE) of the optimal metric to the euclidian m etric. Let us
denote byAMSE (I) andAMSE (H(z)) the expressions obtained from (122)
when using the euclidian norm and the optimal norm respectiv ely. For the
Euclidean norm we get,
AMSE (I) = (const.)/braceleftbigg

Hence, when H(z) is definite the ARE is,

(133)
It can be easily shown that the arithmetic mean is always grea ter or equal
than the geometric mean (take logs, use the strict concavity of the logarithm
and Jensen’s inequality) with equality if and only if all the ξj’s are equal.
Thus, it follows from (133) that the only case in which the use of the optimal
metric will not increase the efficiency of the estimation of th e density at
a point where the Hessian is definite is when all the eigenvalu es ofH(z)
are equal. It is also worth noticing that the efficiency increa ses withp, the
dimension of the data space. There is of course infinite relat ive efficiency in
the regions where the H(z) is indefinite.
7 An Example: Radially Symmetric Distri-
butions
When the true density f(z) has radial symmetry it is possible to find the
regions where the Hessian H(z) is positive and negative definite. These
models have horizons defined by the boundary between the regi ons where
H(z) is definite. We show also that when and only when the density i s linear
in the radius of symmetry, the Hessian is singular in the inte rior of a solid
sphere. Thus, at the interior of these spheres it is impossib le to do estimation
with the best metric.7 AN EXAMPLE: RADIALLY SYMMETRIC DISTRIBUTIONS 28
Let us denote simply by Lthe log likelihood, i.e.,
f(z) = exp(L) (134)
If we also denote simply by Ljthe partial derivative of Lwith respect to zj
then,
∂f
∂zj=f(z)Lj (135)
and also,
∂2f
∂zi∂zj=∂f
∂ziLj+f(z)Lij=f(z){LiLj+Lij} (136)
where we have used (135) and the definition Lij=∂Lj
∂zi. It is worth notic-
ing, by passing, that (136) implies a notable connection wit h the so called
nonparametric Fisher information I(f) matrix,
/integraldisplay
H(z)dz=I(f)− I(f) = 0 (137)
our main interest here however, is the computation of the Hes sian when the
density is radially symmetric. Radial symmetry about a fix po intµ∈I Rpis

we assume that,

Li=/parenleftig

L′(139)
Lij=L′′vi·(z−µ)vj·(z−µ)−L′vij(140)
wherevi·andvijdenote the i-th row and ij-th entries of V−1respectively.
Replacing (139) and (140) into (136), using the fact that V−1is symmetric
and thatvj·(z−µ) is a scalar and thus, equal to its own transpose ( z−µ)Tv·j,
we obtain
H(z) =f(z)L′/braceleftigg/parenleftigg
L′+L′′
L′/parenrightigg
V−1(z−µ)(z−µ)T−I/bracerightigg
V−1(141)
We have also assumed that L′is never zero. With the help of (141) we can
now find the conditions for H(z) to be definite and singular. Clearly H(z)7 AN EXAMPLE: RADIALLY SYMMETRIC DISTRIBUTIONS 29
will be singular when the determinant of the matrix within cu rly brackets
in (141) is zero. But that determinant being zero means that λ= 1 is an
eigenvalue of
(L′+L′′/L′)V−1(z−µ)(z−µ)T(142)
and since this last matrix has rank one its only nonzero eigen value must be
equal to its own trace. Using the cyclical property of the tra ce and letting
y=−1
2(z−µ)TV−1(z−µ)
we can write,
Theorem 12 The Hessian of a radially symmetric density is singular when
and only when either L′= 0or
L′+d
dylogL′=−1
2y(143)
Notice that theorem 12 provides an equation in yafter replacing a par-
ticular function L=L(y). Theorem 12 can also be used to find the functions
L(y) that will make the Hessian singular. Integrating (143) we o btain,
L(y) + logL′(y) =−1
2log(|y|) +c (144)
and solving for L′, separating the variables and integrating we get,
L(y) = log/parenleftbigg

whereaandbare constants of integration. In terms of the density equati on
(145) translates to,
f(z) =a/ba∇dblz−µ/ba∇dblV−1+b (146)
Hence, in the regions where the density is a straight line as a function of
r=/ba∇dblz−µ/ba∇dblV−1the Hessian is singular and estimation with best metrics is
not possible. Moreover, from (141) we can also obtain the reg ions of space
where the Hessian is positive and where it is negative definit e. WhenL′>0,
H(z) will be negative definite provided that the matrix,
I−(L′+L′′/L′)V−1(z−µ)(z−µ)T(147)8 CONCLUSIONS 30
is positive definite. But a matrix is positive definite when an d only when all
its eigenvalues are positive. It is immediate to verify that ξis an eigenvalue
for the matrix (147) if and only if (1 −ξ) is an eigenvalue of the matrix (142).
The matrix (142) has rank one and therefore its only nonzero e igenvalue is
its trace so we arrive to,
Theorem 13 When,

H(z)is negative definite when L′>0and positive definite when L′<0.
When,

H(z)is indefinite.
For example when f(z) is multivariate Gaussian L(y) =y+cso that
L′= 1 and the horizon is the surface of the V−1-sphere of radius one i.e.,
(z−µ)TV−1(z−µ) = 1. Inside this sphere the Hessian is negative definite
and outside the sphere the Hessian is indefinite. The results in this section
can be applied to any other class of radially symmetric distr ibutions, e.g.
multivariate Twhich includes the Cauchy.
8 Conclusions
We have shown the existence of optimal metrics in nonparamet ric density
estimation. The metrics are generated by the Hessian of the u nderlying
density and they are unique in the regions where the Hessian i s definite. The
optimal metric can be expressed as a continuous function of t he Hessian in
the regions where it is indefinite. The Hessian varies contin uously from point
to point thus, associated to the general class of density est imators (9) there is
a Riemannian manifold with the property that if the estimato rs are computed
based on its metric the best asymptotic mean square error is m inimized. The
results are sufficiently general to show that these are absolu te bounds on the
quality of statistical inference from data.
The similarities with General Relativity are evident but so are the differ-
ences. For example, since the Hessian of the underlying dens ity is negative
definite at local maxima, it follows that there will be a horiz on boundary9 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 31
where the Hessian becomes singular. The cross of the boundar y corresponds
to a change of signature in the metric. These horizons almost always are null
sets and therefore irrelevant from a probabilistic point of view. However,
when the density is radially symmetric changing linearly wi th the radius we
get solid spots of singularity. There is a qualitative chang e in the quality of
inference that can be achieved within these dark spots. But u nlike GR, not
only around local maxima but also around local minima of the d ensity we
find horizons. Besides, it is not necessary for the density to reach a certain
threshold for these horizons to appear. Nevertheless, I bel ieve that the in-
fusion of new statistical ideas into the foundations of Phys ics, specially at
this point in history, should be embraced with optimism. Onl y new data will
(help to) tell.
There are many unexplored promising avenues along the lines of the sub-
ject of this paper but one that is obvious from a GR point of vie w. What is
missing is the connection between curvature and probabilit y density, i.e. the
field equation. I hope to be able to work on this in the near futu re.
The existence of optimal metrics in density estimation is no t only of the-
oretical importance but of significant practical value as we ll. By estimating
the Hessian (e.g. with kernels that can take positive and neg ative values, see
[21]) we can build estimators that adapt to the form of the opt imal norm with
efficiency gains that increase with the number of dimensions. The antidote
to the curse of dimensionality!

Abstract. Criticisms of so called ‘subjective probability’ come on th e one hand
from those who maintain that probability in physics has only a frequentistic inter-
pretation, and, on the other, from those who tend to ‘objecti vise’ Bayesian theory,
arguing, e.g., that subjective probabilities are indeed ba sed ‘only on private in-
trospection’. Some of the common misconceptions on subject ive probability will
be commented upon in support of the thesis that coherence is t he most crucial,
universal and ‘objective’ way to assess our confidence on eve nts of any kind.
Key words: Subjective Bayesian Theory, Measurement Uncertainty
1. Introduction
The role of scientists is, generally speaking, to understan d Nature, in order to
forecast as yet unobserved (‘future’) events, independent ly of whether or not these
events can be influenced. In laboratory experiments and all t echnological applica-
tions, observations depend on our intentional manipulatio n of the external world.
However, other scientific activities, like astrophysics, a re only observational. Nev-
ertheless, to claim that cosmology, climatology or geophys ics are not Science, be-
cause “experiments cannot be repeated” - as pedantic interp reters of Galileo’s
scientific method do - is, in my opinion, short-sighted (for a recent defence of this
strict Galilean point of view, advocating ‘consequently’ f requentistic methods, see
Ref. [1]). The link between past observations and future obs ervations is provided
by theory (or model).
It is accepted that quantitative (and, often, also qualitat ive) forecasting of
future observations is invariably uncertain, from the mome nt that we define suffi-
ciently precisely the details of the future events. The unce rtainty may arise because
we are not certain about the parameters of the theory (or of th e theory itself),
and/or about the initial state and boundary conditions of th e phenomenon we want

to describe. But it may also be due to the stochastic nature of the theory itself,
which would produce uncertain predictions even if all param eters and boundary
conditions wereprecisely known. Nevertheless, the constant state of uncer tainty
does not prevent us from doing science. As Feynman wrote, “it is scientific only to
say what is more likely and what is less likely”.[2] This obse rvation holds not only
for observations, but also for the values of physical quanti ties (i.e. parameters of
the theory which have effect on the real observations). And in deed, physicists find
probabilistic statements about, for example, top quark mas s or gravitational con-
stant very natural,[3] and several equivalent expressions are currently used, such
as “to be more or less confident ”, “to consider something more or less probable , or
more or less likely”, “to believe more or less something”. However, the subjective
definition of probability, the only one consistent with the a bove expressions, is
usually rejected because of educational bias according to w hich “the only scien-
tific definition of probability is the frequentistic one,” “q uantum mechanics only
allows the frequency based definition of probability,” “pro bability is an objective
property of the physical world,” etc. In this paper I will com ment on these and
other objections against the so called ‘subjective Bayesia n’ point of view. Indeed,
some criticisms come from ‘objective Bayesians’, who have b een, traditionally, in
a clear majority during this workshop series.
I don’t expect to solve these debates in this short contribut ion, especially con-
sidering that many aspects of the debate are of a psychologic al and sociological
nature. Neither will I be able to analyse in detail every obje ction or to cite all the
counter-arguments. I prefer, therefore, to focus here only on a few points, referring
to other papers [4–6] and references therein for points alre ady discussed elsewhere.
2. Subjective Probability and Role of Coherence
The main aim of subjective probability is to recover the intu itive concept of prob-
ability as degree of belief. Probability is then related to u ncertainty and not (only)
to the outcomes of repeated experiments. Since uncertainty is related to knowl-
edge, probability is only meaningful as long as there are hum an beings interested
in knowing (or forecasting) something, no matter if “the eve nts considered are
in some sense determined , or known by other people.”[7] Since - fortunately! -
we do not share identical states of information, we are in diff erent conditions of
uncertainty. Probability is therefore only and always cond itional probability, and
depends on the different subjects interested in it (and hence the name subjective ).
This point of view about probability is not related to a singl e evaluation rule. In
particular, symmetry arguments and past frequencies, as we ll as their combination
properly weighted by means of Bayes’ theorem, can be used.
Since beliefs can be expressed in terms of betting odds, as is well known and
done in practice, betting odds can be seen as the most general way of making
relative beliefs explicit, independently of the kind of eve nts one is dealing with,
or of the method used to define the odds. For example, everybod y understands
Laplace’s statement concerning Saturn’s mass, that “it is a bet of 10000 to 1 that
the error of this result is not 1/100th of its value.”[8] I wis h all experimental
results to be provided in these terms, instead of the mislead ing [9] “such and suchCOMMENTS ON SUBJECTIVE PROBABILITY 3
percent CL’s.” What matters is that the bet must be reversibl e and that no bet
can be arranged in such a way that one wins or loses with certai nty. The second
condition is a general condition concerning bets. The first c ondition forces the
subject to assess the odds consistently with his/her belief s and also to accept the
second condition: once he/she has fixed the odds, he/she must be ready to bet in
either direction. Coherence has two important roles: the fir st is, so to speak, moral,
and forces people to be honest; the second is formal, allowin g the basic rules of
probability to be derived as theorems, including the formul a relating conditional
probability to probability of the conditionand and their jo int probability (note
that, consistent with the use of probability in practice and with the fact that in
a theory where only conditional probabilities matter, it ma kes no sense to have
a formula that defines conditional probability, see e.g. Section 8.3 of Ref. [4] fo r
further comments and examples).
Once coherence is included in the subjective Bayesian theor y, it becomes ev-
ident that ‘subjective’ cannot be confused with ‘arbitrary ’, since all ingredients
for assessing probability must be taken into account, inclu ding the knowledge that
somebody else might assess different odds for the same events . Indeed, the coherent
subjectivist is far more responsible (and more “objective” , in the sense that ordi-
nary parlance gives to this word) than those who blindly use s tandard ‘objective’
methods (see examples in Ref. [4]). Another source of object ions is the confusion
between ‘belief’ and ‘imagination’, for which I refer to Ref . [5].

To those who insist on objective probabilities I like to pose practical questions,
such as how they would evaluate probability in specific cases , instead of letting
them pursue mathematical games. Then it becomes clear that, at most, probability
evaluations can be intersubjective, if we all share the same education and the
same real or conventional state of information. The probabi lity that a molecule
ofN2at a certain temperature has a velocity in a certain range seems objective:
take the Maxwell velocity p.d.f., make an integral and get a n umber, say p=
0.23184 . . .This mathematical game gets immediately complicated if one thinks
about a real vessel, containing real gas, and the molecule ve locity measured in a real
experiment. The precise ‘objective’ number obtained from t he above integral might
no longer correspond to our confidence that the velocity is re ally in that interval.
The idealized “physical probability” pcan easily be a misleading “metaphysical”
concept which does not correspond to the confidence of real si tuations. In most
cases, in fact, pis a number that one gets from a model, or a free parameter of a
model. Calling Etherealevent and P(E) the probability we attribute to it, the
idealized situation corresponds to the following conditio nal probability:
P(E|Model →p) =p . (1)
But, indeed, our confidence on Erelies on our confidence on the model:
P(E|I) =/summationdisplay
ModelsP(E|I,Model →p)·P(Model →p|I), (2)4 G. D’AGOSTINI
where Istands for a background state of information which is usuall y implicit in
all probability assessments. Describing our uncertainty o n the parameter pby a
p.d.f. f(p) (continuity is assumed for simplicity), the above formula can be turned
into
P(E|I) =/integraldisplay1
0P(E|p, I)·f(p|I)dp . (3)
The results of Eqs. (2) and (3) really express the meaning of p robability, describing
our beliefs, and upon which (virtual) bets can be set (‘virtu al’ because it is well
known that real bets are delicate decision problems of which beliefs are only one
of the ingredients).
For those who still insist that probability is a property of t he world, I like to
give the following example, readapted from Ref. [10]. Six ex ternally indistinguish-
able boxes each contain five balls, but with differing numbers of black and white
balls (see Ref. [6] for details and for a short introduction o f Bayesian inference
based on this example). One box is chosen at random. What will be its white ball
content? If we extract a ball, what is the probability that it will be white? Then a
ball is extracted and turns out to be white. The ball is reintr oduced into the box,
and the above two questions are asked again. As a simple appli cation of Bayesian
inference, the probability of extracting a white ball in the second extraction be-
comes P(E2=W) = 73%, while it wasP(E1=W) = 50% for the first extraction.
One does not need to be a Bayesian to solve this simple text boo k example, and
everybody will agree on the two values of probability (we hav e got “objective”
results, so to say). But it is easy to realize that these proba bilities do not rep-
resent a ‘physical property of the box’, but rather a ‘state o f our mind’, which
changes as the extractions proceed. In particular, ‘measur ing’, or ‘verifying’, that
P(E2=W) = 73% using the relative frequency makes no sense. We could i magine
a large number of extractions. It is easy to understand, give n our prior knowledge
of the box contents, that the relative frequencies “will ten d” (in a probabilistic
sense) to ≈20%,≈40%,≈60%,≈80%, or ≈100%, but ‘never’ 73%1. This
certainly appears to be a paradox to those who agree that P(E2=W) = 73%
is the ‘correct’ probability, but still maintain that proba bility as degree of belief
is a useless concept. In this simple case the six a priori prob abilities pi=i/5,
withi= 0,1, . . .,5, can be seen as the possible “physical probabilities”, but the
“real” probability which determines our confidence on the ou tcome is given by a
discretized version of Eq. (3), with f(pi) changing from one extraction to the next.
I imagine that at this point some readers might react by sayin g that the above
example proves that only the frequentistic definition of pro bability is sensible, be-
cause the relative frequency will tend for n→ ∞ to the ‘physical probability’,
identified in this case by the white ball ratio in the box. But t his reaction is quite
na¨ ıve. First, a definition valid for n→ ∞ is of little use for practical applications
(“In the long run we are all dead”[11]). Second, it is easy to s how [6] that, for the
cases in which the ‘physical probability’ can be checked and the number of ex-
traction is finite, though large, the convergence behaviour of the frequency based
1Does this violate Bernoulli’s theorem? I leave the solution to this apparent paradox as amus-
ing problem to the reader.COMMENTS ON SUBJECTIVE PROBABILITY 5
evaluation is far poorer than the Bayesian solution and can a lso be in paradoxical
contradiction with the available status of information. Mo reover, only the Bayesian
theory answers consistently, in unambiguous probabilisti c terms, the legitimate
question “what is the box content?”, since the very concept o f probability of hy-
potheses is banished in the frequentistic approach. Simila rly, only in the Bayesian
approach does it make sense to express in a logical, consiste nt way the confidence
on the different causes of observed events and on the possible values of physics
quantities (which are unobserved entities). To state that “ in high energy physics,
where experiments are repeatable (at least in principle) th e definition of probabil-
ity normally used”[12] is to ignore the fact that the purpose of experiments is not
to predict which electronic signal will come out next from th e detector (following
the analogy of the six box example), but rather to narrow the r ange in which we
have high confidence that the physics quantities lie.2
4. Observed Frequencies, Expected Frequencies, Frequenti stic Approach
and Quantum Mechanics
Many scientists think they are frequentists because they ar e used to assessing their
beliefs in terms of expected frequencies, without being awa re of the implications for
a sane person of sticking strictly to frequentistic ideas. C ertainly, past frequencies
can be a part of the information upon which probabilities can be assessed [6,9].
Similarly, probability theory teaches us how to predict fut ure frequencies from the
assessment of beliefs, under well defined conditions. But id entifying probability
with frequency is like confusing a table with the English wor d ‘table’. This confu-
sion leads some authors, because they lack other arguments t o save the manifestly
sinking boat of the frequentistic collection of adhoc-eries , to argue3that “probabil-
ity in quantum mechanics is frequentistic probability, and is defined as long-term
frequency. Bayesians will have to explain how they handle th at problem, and they
are warned in advance.”[14]
Probability deals with the belief that an event may happen, g iven a particular
state of information. It does not matter if the fundamental l aws are ‘intrinsically
probabilistic’, or if it is just a limitation of our present i gnorance. The impact on
our minds remains the same. If we think of two possible events resulting from a
quantum mechanics experiment, and say (after computing no m atter how compli-
cated calculations to also take into account detector effect s) that P(E1)≫P(E2),
this simply means that we feel more confident inE1than in E2, or that we will
be surprised if E2happens instead of E1. If we have the opportunity to repeat the
experiment we believe that events of the ‘class’ E1will happen more frequently
2To be more rigorous, simple laboratory experiments can be pe rformed in conditions of re-
peatability[13], but thinking of repeating very complex pa rticle physics experiments run for a
decade make no sense (even in principle!). Perhaps the remar k “in principle” in the above quo-
tation from Ref. [12] is to justify Monte Carlo simulation of the experiments. But one has to
be aware that a Monte Carlo program is nothing but a collectio n of our best beliefs about the
behaviour of the studied reaction, background reactions an d apparatus.
3A similar desperate attempt is try to throw a bad shadow over B ayesian theory, saying that
in this theory “frequency and probability are completely di sconnected”[14], using as argument an
ambiguous sentence picked up from the large Bayesian litera ture, and severed from its context.6 G. D’AGOSTINI
than events of class E2. This is what we find carefully reviewing the relevant liter-
ature and discussing with theorists: probability is ‘proba bility’, although it might
be expressed in terms of expected frequencies, as discussed above. Take for exam-
ple Hawking’s A Brief History of Time ,[15] (which a statistician[16] said should
be called ‘a brief history of beliefs’, so frequently do the w ords belief, believe and
synonyms appear in it). For example: “In general, quantum me chanics does not
predict a single definite result for an observation. Instead , it predicts a number of
different possible outcomes and tells us how likely each of th ese is” [15]. Looking
further to the past, it is worth noting the concept of “degree of truth” introduced
by von Weizs¨ acker, as reported by Heisenberg [17]. It is diffi cult to find any differ-
ence between this concept and the usual degree of belief, esp ecially because both
Heisenberg and von Weizs¨ acker were fully aware that “natur e is earlier than man,
but man is earlier than natural science” [17], in the sense th at science is done by
our brains, mediated by our senses. It is true that, reading s ome text books on
quantum mechanics one gets the idea that “probability is fre quentistic probabil-
ity”[14], but one should remember the remarks at the beginni ng of this section,
and the fact that many authors have used, uncritically, the d ominant ideas on
probability in the past decades. But some authors also try to account for proba-
bility of single events, instead of ‘repeated events’, and have to admit that this is
possible if probability is meant as degree of belief.
In conclusion, invoking intriguing fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics
in the discussion of inferential frameworks shows little aw areness of the real issues
involved in the two classes of problems. First, the debate ab out the interpretations
of quantum mechanics is far from being settled [18]. Second, as far as ‘natural
science’ is concerned, it doesn’t really matter if nature is deeply deterministic
or probabilistic, as eloquently said by Hume: “Though there is no such thing as
Chance in the world; our ignorance of the real cause of any eve nt has the same
influence on the understanding, and begets a like species of b elief or opinion.”[19]
5. Who is Afraid of Subjective Bayesian Theory?
“It is curious that, even when different workers are in substa ntially complete agree-
ment on what calculations should be done, they may have radic ally different views
as to what we are actually doing and why we are doing it.” [20] I t is indeed
surprising that strong criticisms of subjective probabili ty come from people who
essentially agree that probability represents “our degree of confidence” [21] and
that Bayes’ theorem is the proper inferential tool. I would l ike to comment here
on criticisms (and invitations to convert.. . ) which I have r eceived from objective
Bayesian friends and colleagues, and which can be traced bac k essentially to the
same source. [20] The main issue in the debate is the choice of theprior to enter
in the Bayesian inference. I prefer subjective priors becau se they seem to me to
correspond more closely to the spirit of the Bayesian theory and the results of the
methods based on them are more reliable and never paradoxica l [5]. Nevertheless,
I agree, in principle, that a “concept of a ‘minimal informat ive’ prior specification
– appropriately defined!”[22] can be useful in particular ap plications. The prob-
lem is that those who are not fully aware of the intentions and limits of the soCOMMENTS ON SUBJECTIVE PROBABILITY 7
called reference priors tend to perceive the Bayesian approach as dogmatic. Let
us analyse, then, some of the criticisms.
- “Subjective Bayesians have settled into a position interm ediate between or-
thodox statistics and the theory expounded here.”[20] I thi nk exactly the
opposite. Now, it is obvious that frequentistic methods are conceptually a
mess, a collection of arbitrary prescriptions. But those wh o stick too strictly
to the theory expounded in Ref. [20] tend to give up the real (u navoidably
subjective!) knowledge of the problem in favour of mathemat ical convenience
or blindly following the stance taken by the leading figures i n their school of
thought. This is exactly what happens with practitioners us ing blessed ‘ob-
jective’ frequentistic ‘procedures’ (for example, see Ref . [5] for a discussion on
the misuse of Jeffreys’ priors).
- “While perceiving that probabilities cannot represent on ly frequencies, they
[subjective Bayesians] still regard sampling probabiliti es as representing fre-
quencies of ‘random variables”’.[20] The name‘random vari able’ is avoided
by the most authoritative subjective Bayesians [7] and the t erms ‘uncertain
(aleatoric) numbers’ and ‘aleatoric vectors’ (form multi- dimensional cases)
are currently used. Even the idea of ‘repeated events’ is rej ected [7], as ev-
ery event is unique, though one might think of classes of anal ogous events to
which we can attribute the same conditional probability, but these events are
usually stochastically dependent (like the outcomes black and white in the six
box example of Ref. [6]). In this way the ideas of uncertainty and probabil-
ity are completely disconnected from that of randomness ` a la von Mises. [23]
Nevertheless, I admit that there are authors, including mys elf [4], who mix
the terms ‘uncertain numbers’ and ‘random variables’, to ma ke life easier for
those who are not accustomed to the concept of uncertain numb ers, since the
formal properties (like p.d.f., expected value, variance, etc) are the same for
the two objects.
- “Subjective Bayesians face an awkward ambiguity at the beg inning of a prob-
lem, when one assigns prior probabilities. If these represe nt merely prior opin-
ions, then they are basically arbitrary and undefined”. [20] Here the confusion
between subjective and arbitrary, discussed above, is obvi ous.
- “It seems that only private introspection could assign the m and different peo-
ple will make different assignments”. No knowledge, no scien ce, and there-
fore no probability, is conceivable if there is no brain to an alyse the external
world. Fortunately there are no two identical brains (yet), and therefore no
two identical states of knowledge are conceivable, though i ntersubjectivity can
be achieved in many cases.
- “Our goal is that inferences are to be completely ‘objectiv e’ in the sense that
two persons with the prior information must assign the same p rior probabil-
ity.” [20] This is a very na¨ ıve idealistic statement of litt le practical relevance.
- “The natural starting point in translating a number of piec es of prior infor-
mation is the state of complete ignorance.” [20] When should we define the
state of complete ignorance? At conception or at birth? How m uch is learned
and how much was already coded in the DNA?8 G. D’AGOSTINI
6. Conclusions
To conclude, I think that none of the above criticisms is real ly justified. As for
criticisms put forward by frequentists or by self-designed frequentistic practition-
ers (who are more Bayesian than they think they are [3]) there is little more to
comment in the context of this workshop. I am much more intere sted in making
some final comments addressed to fellow Bayesians who do not s hare some of the
ideas expounded here. I think that users and promoters of Bay esian methods of
the different schools should make an effort to smooth the tones of the debate,
because the points we have in common are without doubt many mo re, and more
relevant, than those on which there is disagreement. Workin g on similar problems
and exchanging ideas will certainly help us to understand ea ch other. There is no
denying that Maximum Entropy methods are very useful in solv ing many compli-
cated practical problems, as this successful series of work shops has demonstrated.
But I don’t see any real contradiction with coherence: I am re ady to take seri-
ously the result of any method, if the person responsible for the result is honest
and is ready to make any combination of reversible bets based on the declared
probabilities.

We report on trapping of fermionic40K atoms in a red-
detuned standing-wave optical trap, loaded from a magneto-
optical trap. Typically, 106atoms are loaded at a density
of 1012cm−3and a temperature of 65 µK, and trapped for
more than 1 s. The optical trap appears to be the proper
environment for performing collisional measurements on th e
cold atomic sample. In particular we measure the elastic col -
lisional rate by detecting the rethermalization following an
intentional parametric heating of the atomic sample. We als o
measure the inelastic two-body collisional rates for unpol ar-
ized atoms in the ground hyperfine states, through detection
of trap losses.

I. INTRODUCTION
The fermionic isotope of potassium40K is among
the most interesting atomic species for the experimental
study of quantum degenerate gases, as early discussed
in [1]. Recently, the possibility of cooling a sample of
fermionic40K atoms to the regime of quantum degener-
acy has been demonstrated [2], by means of evaporative
cooling in a magnetic trap. This is the first step towards
further studies on a dilute Fermi system, including the
possibility of Cooper pairing. As for this prospect, the
presence of Feshbach resonances in the scattering length
of selected Zeeman substates of40K [3], induced by a
magnetic field, could be exploited to bring the required
temperatures for a BCS-like phase transition to a range
experimentally achievable.
Optical traps appear to be very useful tools for inves-
tigating such collisional properties of atoms at low tem-
perature, since they can hold high-density samples in any
spin state, and an homogeneous magnetic field can be ap-
plied without modification of the trapping potential [4].
For the particular case of40K, the most interesting Fes-
hbach resonance has been predicted for two spin states
which are not magnetically trappable, and therefore an
optical trap would be necessary [3].
In this paper we report for the first time on optical

†modugno@lens.unifi.it; http://www.lens.unifi.ittrapping of a sample of40K, precooled in a magneto-
optical trap to sub-Doppler temperatures [5]. By using
a compression phase followed by optical molasses cooling
we obtain trapped samples at relatively low temperature
(65µK) and high density (1012cm−3). In this tempera-
ture and density regime, our optical trap appears to be
an interesting environment to investigate the collisional
properties of40K, possibly including the predicted Fesh-
bach resonances. We are indeed able to perform elastic
collisional measurements on unpolarized sample of atoms
in the ground F=9/2 state, and inelastic measurements
on samples in the F=9/2 and F=7/2 hyperfine substates,
which are both held in the optical trap. A comparison
with theoretical predictions is made in both cases, and a
good agreement is found.
II. LOADING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF
THE OPTICAL TRAP
The optical trap is realized with linearly polarized light
from a single-mode Ti:Sa laser, detuned to the red of both
the D 1and D 2transitions of potassium, respectively at
769.9 nm, and 766.7 nm. The laser radiation is arranged
in a vertical standing-wave configuration, by retroreflect-
ing the beam, achieving a 1D optical lattice with the
strongest confinement against gravity. The laser beam is
weakly focused within a two-lens telescope to a waist-size
w0=90µm, with a Rayleigh length zR=3 cm; the effective
running wave power at the waist position is P=600 mW.
A schematic of the experimental apparatus is shown in
Fig. 1.
The use of a tunable Ti:Sa laser allows us to change in
a continuous way the trap detuning from a few nanome-
ters to about 40 nm, allowing a variety of trap condi-
tions. For a typical wavelength of the trapping laser
λt=787 nm, the calculated trap depth [6] for the ground
state is U0=300 µK (6.2 MHz) and the scattering rate is
Γsc=30 s−1. Since the trapping light is very far detuned
from any transition starting from the excited 4P states,
the light shift for both the excited states is positive, and
it is approximately half of the trap depth.
The vibrational frequencies of each lattice site are

1in the axial and radial directions, respectively. Here Mis
the mass of potassium. The expected values of the radial
and axial trap frequencies for the conditions above are
respectively 2 π×870 Hz and 2 π×450 kHz.
The power of the trapping laser can be controlled with
a fast AOM (with a fall time of 300 ns); a polarizer cube
after the AOM provides the required linear polarization.
The pump laser is a low-noise doubled Nd:YVO, and no
active stabilization or tuning of the Ti:Sa laser frequency
is used, to avoid amplitude noise which can possibly heat
up the trapped atoms [7].
We load the optical trap directly from a vapor cell
magneto-optical trap (MOT) of40K as described in [5].
We note the typical cooling and repumping light inten-
sities of 36 mW/cm2and 4 mW/cm2respectively, and
the detuning of the cooling light of -20 MHz from the cy-
cling F=9/2 →F′=11/2 transition (the natural linewidth
and saturation intensities of40K are Γ=2 π×6.2 MHz and
Is=1.8 mW/cm2). In the MOT we collect in 4 s about
5×107atoms at a peak density of 1010cm−3and at a
temperature of 60 µK. The dipole trap beam, which is
passing approximately through the center of the MOT,
is left on during the MOT loading, with no detectable
effect on the atom number or temperature.
To load the optical lattice from the MOT we use the
following procedure: the trapped atoms are compressed
for 30 ms by ramping the quadrupole gradient of the
MOT from the normal value of 18 Gauss/cm up to
44 Gauss/cm, while the intensity of the cooling and re-
pumping light are abruptly reduced to 20 mW/cm2and
0.06 mW/cm2respectively. Moreover, the detuning of
the cooling light is reduced to -6 MHz to improve the
compression effect. The MOT quadrupole field is then
switched off in 1 ms, and the detuning of the cooling
light is increased to -20 MHz for other 2 ms, providing
the usual optical molasses cooling. Then the MOT beams
are turned off by switching off the AOMs in a few µs.
The repumping beams are turned off 1 ms later than the
cooling ones, to pump the atoms in the lower hyperfine
ground state, F=9/2. For a complete shielding of the
optical trap from the resonant stray light of the MOT
beams, which could cause undesired optical excitation
and pumping, we also block the light with a mechanical
shutter within 3 ms from the switch-off of the AOMs. Us-
ing this procedure, about 5% of the atoms in the MOT
can be loaded in the optical trap, corresponding to a few
106atoms.
The atoms in the optical trap are probed by turning
on again the MOT beams at half the normal intensity
and in resonance with the cycling transition, while the
repumper is in resonance with the F=7/2 →F′=9/2.
The fluorescence is detected by a photomultiplier with
the help of a lens and of an optical fiber with a core
diameter of approximately 0.5 mm, which provides good
spatial selectivity to discard the light scattered by the
windows of the vacuum cell, and allows detection of as
few as 103atoms. A typical measurement of the lifetime
of the optical trap is shown in Fig. 2. After about 0.3 sof storage, the decay curve of the atoms pumped in the
ground F=9/2 state is a single exponential, with a 1/e
lifetime of τ=1.4(3) s. We expect the main source of loss
in this regime to be collisions with background gas, the
trap lifetime being roughly one third of the MOT loading
time. The faster decay at shorter times could possibly be
due to losses connected to an evaporative cooling process,
which we will consider below.
Alternatively, the density and the absolute number of
trapped atoms can be measured by absorption imaging,
using a pulse of light derived from the MOT laser lasting
200µs, at half the saturation intensity and in resonance
with the cycling transition. To compensate for the light
shift due to the optical trap, the frequency is blue shifted
by approximately 1.5 U0from the unperturbed resonance.
The beam is passing through the optical trap in the hor-
izontal plane and is imaged on a CCD camera with a
two-lens system. The distribution of atoms in the op-
tical trap, as shown in Fig. 3, is gaussian in the radial
direction, with a typical FWHM of 70 µm. Also the
axial distribution is generally gaussian, and the typical
FWHM of 500 µm indicates that approximately 1200 lat-
tice sites, spaced by 395 nm, are occupied. The mean
number density is determined by averaging the optical
density over the trap section and scaling by the ratio of
the lattice spacing λtto the the mean axial extension dA
of an individual lattice site. Such mean axial extension is
estimated from the temperature and axial trap frequency
as
dA=ω−1
A/radicalbig
2πkBT/M , (2.2)
and is of the order of 100 nm. The typical mean density
of atoms after 100 ms of storage is 7 ×1011cm−3, and de-
cays proportionally to the number of atoms for increasing
storage times.
The radial temperature is measured by detecting the
radial extension of the atomic cloud after 1 ms of expan-
sion, following a sudden switch-off of the optical trap. Al-
ternatively it is possible to estimate the temperature di-
rectly from the radial extensions of the atoms in the trap;
this estimation is affected by a larger uncertainty, since it
relies on the knowledge of the radial trap frequency. The
axial temperature is extracted from the temporal width
of a time-of-flight (TOF) signal, as detected by the ab-
sorption of a 1-cm wide sheet of light placed 1.5 cm be-
low the trapping region, in resonance with the cycling
transition. The TOF beam, generated by an extended-
cavity diode laser, is doubly passing through the vacuum
cell, and the absorption signal is detected with a fre-
quency modulation technique. The typical TOF signal,
as shown in Fig. 4, indicates the presence of two differ-
ent velocity distributions, corresponding to temperature s
around 70 µK for the broad peak and around 4 µK for
the narrow one. We think that the colder component is
due to a small fraction of the trapped atoms which are
adiabatically cooled during the release from the optical
trap. Indeed, the AOM which controls the optical trap
2is capable of cutting only 95% of the light in less than
300 ns, while the residual tail is extinguished in about
5µs. Since the latter switch-off time is longer than ω−1
A,
the atoms in the bottom of the trap are further cooled
down. We have verified this conjecture by intentionally
slowing the main switch-off time of the AOM down to
5µs, and observing an adiabatic cooling of hotter com-
ponent to 8 µK. We expect to be possible to eliminate
such residual adiabatic cooling effect by using the AOM
in a double-pass configuration, but since this would re-
duce by about 30% the available laser power, we prefer
to fit the TOF signal with a two-component curve to ac-
curately extract the temperature of the majority of the
atoms.
The temperature measurement described above can be
performed only after a minimum storage time of 80 ms,
to allow for the separation of the TOF signal due to the
atoms in the optical trap from the signal due to the atoms
in the MOT which have not been loaded in the trap. We
have verified that after this time interval the axial and
radial temperature are identical within the uncertainty.
To look for any relationship between the temperatures
of the atoms in the MOT and of those in the optical trap,
we have performed a series of temperature measurements
after 100 ms of storage in optical traps of different depths.
The result is shown in Fig. 5: the temperature appears to
scale almost linearly with the trap depth, and for deep
traps we measure a ratio U0/kBT∼4.5. Note that for
very deep traps such a temperature can be much higher
than the MOT one, which is about 70 µK after the com-
pression phase. This behavior, which has been reported
also in [8], seems to indicate that the temperature of the
atoms in the optical trap is determined by the process of
loading and optical trapping itself, and not by the origi-
nal temperature in the MOT.
We note also that the number of atoms loaded in the
trap is observed to decrease almost linearly with the trap
depth, with the density decreasing even faster due to
the accompanying reduction in the spring constant of the
trap. As a result, the optimal density conditions for per-
forming collisional measurements are found only at large
trap depths, where the temperature of the trapped atoms
is comparable to that of the MOT. A detailed descrip-
tion of these observations goes beyond the scope of this
paper, and will therefore be presented elsewhere.
We have also observed that the temperature of the
atoms in the optical trap remains almost constant with
time, although the calculated scattering rate would lead
to a constant heating with a rate as large as 100 µKs−1for
the tightest trap investigated. Also this result is suggest -
ing the presence of an evaporative cooling effect, which
counteracts the heating due to photon scattering.
The effective trap depth and spring constants are mea-
sured with the help of a parametric heating technique [9].
If the power of the trap light is sinusoidally modulated
by the AOM, a strong heating of the atoms, accompanied
by trap losses, arises whenever the modulation frequency
matches twice the trap oscillation frequency or a subhar-monic thereof. By monitoring the trap population after
∼100 ms of parametric heating it is therefore possible to
measure both radial and axial trap frequency with an un-
certainty of the order of 10%. A typical measurement of
the trap frequencies is shown in Fig. 6, for a trap depth
of 180 µK. Note the presence of a strong resonance also
at four times the axial frequency, which can be explained
only by considering the anharmonicity of the optical trap
in the axial direction, due to its sinusoidal shape [10].
III. COLLISIONAL MEASUREMENTS
A. Elastic collisions
To characterize the elastic collisions we use a technique
which has already proved useful in this kind of optical
trap [4], which is based on the detection of the rether-
malization of the trapped atoms after the excitation of
one of the degrees of freedom. In particular, we paramet-
rically excite the axial vibrational mode of the trap by
applying a 2% modulation to the laser power for about
5 ms, and measure the subsequent rapid increase of the
axial temperature, followed by an exponential decay due
to thermalization of the axial mode with the radial ones,
as mediated by elastic collisions. In order to excite uni-
formly the atoms distributed over the vibrational levels
in the anharmonic trap, we sweep the modulation fre-
quency roughly between ωAand 2 ωAduring the 5 ms
heating phase. Indeed, if only a single frequency is used,
we observe a large loss of atoms from the trap, with no
larger increase of the temperature, as if only the popula-
tion of a few levels were excited. Moreover, modulation
amplitudes larger than 2% cause quite a large loss of
atoms, which are detected by the TOF beam together
with those released from the trap, therefore altering the
temperature measurements. The decay curve for the con-
ditions T= 65µK,n=7.5×1011cm−3, is shown in Fig. 7;
each data point is the average of two series of about 20
TOF measurements, and the original temperature was
67µK. The fit to an exponential decay yelds τth=10(2) s.
We have checked that the decay time is halved, within
the uncertainty, when the atomic density in the optical
trap is halved, to verify that the rethermalization is ac-
tually mediated by elastic collisions, and not simply by
cross-dimensional anharmonic effects.
We compare the observed collision rates with the re-
sults of a full close-coupling numerical calculation with
the standard Hamiltonian including hyperfine structure.
The model is parametrized by the long range dispersion
coefficients of the atom-atom interaction potential and
by single channel singlet and triplet scattering lengths.
We adopt the high precision value C6=3897au from Ref.
[11] for the van der Waals coefficient, and choose the
range of possible scattering lengths by scaling to40K the
results obtained for39K from an analysis of the 0−
g[12]
molecular state photoassociation spectroscopy. Similar
3but less restricted values are also presented in [13] from
an analysis of the 1 gspectrum. We obtain in this way
the limits 100 < a s<110a 0and 150 < a t<250a 0. It
is consistent with the experimental errors in the present
measurements to fix the singlet scattering length to say
as= 105 a0and leave only the triplet as a free parameter.
From our calculation and from the results of an anal-
ogous experiment performed in a magnetic trap [14], we
expect that both s- and p-wave collisions are contribut-
ing to the cross sections at T=65µK for40K. Indeed, a
p-wave shape resonance close to threshold enhances the
p-wave contribution at low temperatures [14,15]. Since
our sample is unpolarized we calculate spherical sandp
cross sections σ, and estimate the thermalization rate as
1
τth=/parenleftbigσs
αs+σp
αp/parenrightbig
nv (3.1)
where αis the average number of collisions necessary for
the rethermalization, nis the atomic density, and vis
the rms relative velocity between two colliding atoms.
Note that we have implicitly assumed an identical dis-
tribution of all possible spin states in F=9/2 over the
optical trap, since the trap potential is independent of
the magnetic moment of the atoms. We adopt for the
parameters αthe values αs= 2.5 and αp= 4.1 quoted in
[14]. We find the best agreement with the measured rate
at the lowest allowed value of the triplet scattering length
(at=150a0),i.e.when the p-wave resonance is closer to
threshold. In this situation the average thermal rates
areσsv=6.2×10−11cm3/s and σpv=1.75×10−10cm3/s
and the characteristic time for rethermalization for the
given density in the trap is then about τth=20 ms. It is
interesting to notice that a comparison between the pho-
toassociation results in [12] and [13] seems to privilege
lower values of atin agreement with what we find here.
From the calculated elastic collision rate 1/ τel≡nσv,
withσthe total cross section, is also possible to estimate
the typical speed of the thermalization due to evaporative
cooling processes. Using the formalism presented in [16],
the ratio of the evaporation to the elastic collision time
constant is
τev/τel≈√
2eηη−1(3.2)
where η=U0/kBT. From the measured value of η∼4.5
(see Fig. 5), the timescale for the thermalization due
to evaporation is therefore expected to be a few hun-
dreds of ms. Although this process can be neglected with
regard to the cross-dimensional collisional processes re-
ported above, which are proceeding at a much faster rate,
we speculate that it could play an important role in the
observed long term stability of the temperature of the
atoms in the optical trap.
B. Inelastic collisions
The inelastic two-body collisions between atoms in
the F=7/2 state, and between atoms in the F=9/2and F=7/2 states, can be detected in a relatively easy
way through trap losses, since the hyperfine energy of
1.285 GHz released under the transition F=7/2 →9/2 is
much larger than the trap depth. We can vary the pop-
ulation of the upper hyperfine state F=7/2 by means of
an optical pumping beam, derived from the MOT laser,
in resonance with the F=9/2 →F′=7/2 transition, and
controllable in intensity with an AOM. By shining the
beam on the trapped atoms with an intensity of about
10µW/cm2, and for a time interval variable between 0.1
and 2 ms, we transfer up to 95% of the atoms from the
ground to the upper state. The relative populations of
the two hyperfine states after the pumping pulse are mea-
sured by monitoring the TOF signal, to which only the
atoms in F=9/2 contribute. We have verified that the
typical time scale for hyperfine optical pumping due to
inelastic Raman scattering of the trap photons is much
longer than 1 s, and therefore such effect is negligible.
The optical pumping pulse is applied after about
100 ms from the loading of the dipole trap, to let the
trapped atoms equilibrate, and then the decay of the
number of atoms in the trap is measured with the usual
procedure. In Fig. 8 the decay of the trapped atoms
is shown for the cases of 95% and 85% of the total
population pumped into the F=7/2 state. In this par-
ticular measurement the temperature of the atoms was
T=50µK. We fit the experimental data by assuming a
constant volume regime, which in an harmonic trap is
equivalent to the assumption of a constant temperature.
In this regime, the density is proportional to the num-
ber of atoms, and the decay curves are the solutions of
the coupled differential equations for the densities of the
populations in both hyperfine states
˙n1=−γn1−G1,2n1n2 (3.3)
˙n2=−γn1−2G2,2n2
2−G1,2n1n2. (3.4)
Here the suffixes 1 and 2 refer to the levels F=9/2 and
F=7/2, respectively, γis the rate of linear trap loss, and
Gi,jis the spherical rate of two-body inelastic collisions
between atoms in states iandjat temperature T. To
account for the loss of both atoms in the pair for each
collision event, factors of 2 are added for collisions of
atoms belonging to the same hyperfine level.
The constant γcan be obtained from the tails of the
decay curve, where the binary collision rate is negligible.
The fit yields γ=(0.90±0.05) s−1. We keep this value
fixed for the fits where we have 95%, 83% and 66% of
the atoms in F=7/2. We assume a 30% uncertainty in
the atomic density and obtain best estimates of the decay
rates from the individual curves. Next we combine the
three measurements to obtain G7/2,7/2=3.2×10−11cm3/s
andG9/2,7/2=3.8×10−12cm3/s with an uncertainty of
the order of 50%. From numerical calculations we find
thermally
averaged spherical rates of G7/2,7/2=4.4×10−11cm3/s
andG9/2,7/2=3.5×10−12cm3/s for T=50µK, in agree-
ment with the measured rate. We obtain these values at
4the lower edge a3=150a0of the initial confidence range.
The agreement holds until the value a3≃180a0, where
the loss coefficient G9/2,7/2drops to values of the order of
G9/2,7/2≃10−12cm3/s. In all this range p-wave losses
provide a significant contribution to both G7/2,7/2and
G9/2,7/2, and the agreement with the measured values
represents therefore further evidence of the presence of
a low energy p-wave resonance. It is interesting to no-
tice that the rate coefficient G(9/2,7/2) rapidly increases
above a3=180a0, reaching values larger than 10−11cm3/s
fora3>190a0, in disagreement with the measured value.
This seem to rule out the higher range of a3values, as
already indicated by the large observed rethermalization
rate. We also note that inelastic collisions cannot be re-
sponsible for the faster decay of the atom number at short
trapping times (see Fig. 2), even assuming a residual 5%
on the F=7/2 state after the normal loading of the optical
trap, due to the relatively small value of G9/2,7/2.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
We have reported on loading of fermionic40K atoms
in a 1D optical lattice from a single MOT. The 1.4-s
lifetime of the optical trap is large enough to allow the
observation of elastic and inelastic collisional processe s,
due to the high density of the atomic sample in the trap.
Indeed, the typical time scale for collisional processes is
a few tens of ms, at a density of 7 ×1011cm−3and at
a temperature of 65 µK. Furthermore, optical pumping
and heating effects arising from the scattering of trap
photons do not seem to play a significant role on such
time scale.
The experimental collisional rates for unpolarized sam-
ples we determine are quite consistent with the theoreti-
cal expectations. Further studies of inelastic and elastic
collisions in spin-polarized samples in our optical trap
could lead to a characterization of the collisional prop-
erties of fermionic potassium at low temperature. As
already noted, particularly interesting is the possibilit y
of searching for the occurrence of s-wave Feshbach reso-
nances in the collisions between Zeeman sublevels of the
ground state. For such purpose, a temperature lower
than the present 65 µK would be preferred, to reduce the
p-wave contribution, and to avoid temperature broaden-
ing of the resonance. Although the temperature can be
lowered by loading the atoms in very shallow traps, the
achieved density is not large enough to perform accurate
collisional measurements, and therefore methods for re-
ducing the temperature of a dense sample are needed. In
particular, we note that the axial degree of freedom of
our trap is in the Lamb-Dicke regime ( dA≪λ), allowing
for the application of fast degenerate Raman sideband
cooling [17], which would allow for an efficient reduction
of the temperature without atom losses.

(September 24, 2013)
A quantum Monte Carlo method is introduced to optimize excit ed state trial wave functions.
The method is applied in a correlation function Monte Carlo c alculation to compute ground and
excited state energies of bosonic van der Waals clusters of u pto seven particles. The calculations
are performed using trial wavefunctions with general three -body correlations.

Solving the Schr¨ odinger equation for systems in which the z ero-point energy is relatively large and gives rise to stron g
anharmonicity poses a computational challenge, even for fe w-particle systems. With discrete variable representatio n
methods (DVR)1one can obtain many states for systems with upto six vibratio nal degrees of freedom and intermediate
zero-point energy. Projector Monte Carlo methods such as th e correlation function method (CFMC)2,3and the
projector operator imaginary time spectral evolution (POI TSE)4method, are applicable to more degrees of freedom,
but both methods are restricted to a smaller number of states . A difference between the correlation function and
projector operator Monte Carlo methods is the way in which th ey extract energies from correlation functions, but
both require ancillary quantities to boost the spectral wei ght of the excited states. The method presented in this
Letter makes it possible to construct these quantities in a s ystematic and efficient way, which has been used to enhance
the CFMC method significantly. In fact, without optimized wa vefunctions the CFMC methods does not produce any
meaningful results for most of the clusters for which we repo rt results. We also expect that results of the POITSE
method can be improved substantially, by using spectral enh ancement operators based on optimized wavefunctions.
A variant of the method described here was applied previousl y to study critical dynamics of lattice systems.5,6
The application in this Letter is to bosonic van der Waals clu sters, which we treat in the position representation.
We denote by Rthe Cartesian coordinates of a cluster consisting of Ncatoms. As a preliminary step in the parameter
optimization, we generate a set of typically thousands of co nfigurations Rσ,σ= 1,...,Σ sampled from a guiding
functionψ2
gwith relative probabilities ψg(Rσ)2≡w−2
σ; to ensure that the sample has sufficient overlap with all stat es
in our computations, we choose a power pwith 2<∼p<∼3 andψp
g=˜ψ(1), where ˜ψ(1)is the optimized ground state
wavefunction, which is obtained after a few initial optimiz ation iterations for a simple ground state wave function.
The trial functions are linear combinations of about a hundr ed elementary basis functions, each of which depends
on non-linear optimization parameters. The trial function s are constructed one at a time from the ground state up,
as follows.
Suppose we fix the non-linear parameters of the elementary ba sis functions, denoted by βi,i= 1,...,n , at initial
values. First, we consider the ideal case in which these func tions span an n-dimensional invariant subspace of the
Hamiltonian H, i.e., we assume that there exists an n×nmatrix Eso that

is an eigenvector of Hwith an eigenvalue ˜Ekwhich equals the exact energy Ek, ifd(k)is a right eigenvector of Ewith
the same eigenvalue.
In practice, the subspace spanned by the basis functions is n ot invariant, and Eq. (1) yields an overdetermined set
of Σ×nequations for the n2unknowns Eij. The equations can be solved approximately by minimizing th e sum of
squared residuals with respect to the Eji. This gives the normal equations

The weights w2
σwere chosen in the orthogonality relation Eq. (3) to reprodu ce the standard quantum mechanical
overlap integrals and matrix elements in the limit of an infin ite Monte Carlo sample. In this case each variational
energy ˜Ekis an upper bound to the exact energy Ek.
In all but the simplest cases, the elementary basis function s are quasi-dependent, in the sense that some of the
eigenvalues of Ndiffer from zero less than the roundoff error. As a consequence , direct application of Eq. (4) yields
numerically unstable results. The standard solution to thi s problem is to use a singular value decomposition to write7

States of higher energy are found with the same optimization scheme by selecting the appropriate eigenvector d(k)
of the matrix Eand inserting it into Eq. (2). We use the same scaling functio nffor all states, but different non-linear
parameters a(k)
jandκk. This scheme works as long as the variational freedom of the t rial functions can accurately
represent the true eigenstates. Otherwise, for the Monte Ca rlo samples of the size we are using, states can be skipped
and spurious ones may be introduced. In this context, noting that the exponential factors differ for each state, we
found it useful to check consistency of eigensystems obtain ed with this basis set and one that includes the variational
wavefunctions of the previously determined, lower-lying s tates.
The trial wavefunctions constructed in this fashion are use d as basis functions in a correlation function Monte
Carlo calculation.2,3. Formally, this means that the nelementary basis functions βiare replaced by a small number of
functions exp( −1
2tH)˜ψ(k). For this part of the computation the analog of Eq. (4) is used to compute eigenvalues, rather
than Eq. (8). The reason for this is that, except during optim ization, too many configurations Rαare sampled to
store the full matrices BandB′, defined in Eqs. (6). These matrices are required for the sing ular value decomposition
in Eq. (8). However, this is not a serious problem since the fin al basis functions ˜ψ(k)are few in number and roughly
orthonormal, at least for small projection times t.
It may appear that we used stationarity of the energy to deter mine the linear variational coefficients d(k)
i, but a
subtlety arrises because the integrals in matrix elements w ere approximated by weighted sums. Consider, therefore,
in more detail the expectation value ˜Eof the energy in state ψand its functional derivative
δ˜E
δψ(R)∝(H −˜E)ψ(R). (13)
For an energy eigenstate, the derivative vanishes both poin twise and in norm, which respectively corresponds to
stationarity of the energy and minimality of its variance. A lthough these two criteria are equivalent for arbitrary
functional variations, they yield different approximation s, for the restricted variations of trial functions used in p ractice,
as is well known. Orthogonality of the functional derivativ e and any wavefunction, suggests yet a third approximation:
orthogonality —in the finite sample sense of Eq. (3)— of the fu nctional derivative and the elementary basis functions,
or more generally the derivatives of the trial function with respect to the variational parameters. For a finite sample
this orthogonality is not equivalent to stationarity of the approximate, sample average of the energy with respect to
the variational parameters, which yields Eq. (4) with Hreplaced by its symmetrized analog.
An important advantage of the orthogonality and variance cr iteria is that they yield zero variance for the energy
and the variational parameters, because the right-hand sid e of Eq. (13) vanishes for an exact eigenstate even on a finite
sample. On the other hand, stationarity of finite-sample est imate of the energy yields estimates of the variational
parameters and the energies that differ from sample to sample .
Instead of this hybrid method which treats linear and non-li near variational parameters differently, we first at-
tempted to use minimization of the variance of the energy by a pplication of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to
all parameters simultaneously. Although that method works for statistical mechanical applications,6it fails for our
current application, unless one starts out with good initia l guesses for all parameters.14
Next we present results for excited state energies for clust ers with up to seven atoms. First, we computed energies
for trimers of Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe ( m= 7.092×10−3,6.9635×10−4,1.9128×10−4, and 7.8508×10−5). Since
our variational functions contain general three-body corr elations, the accuracy of the wavefunctions and energies fo r
the trimers can be improved without apparent limit other tha n the machine precision. During optimization of the
wavefunctions for the trimers we typically start with the gr ound state wavefunction which has prefactor degree of
5 or 6. For the trimers we chose not to vary the polynomial coeffi cients in the exponent and simply used the fixed
terms to satisfy the boundary conditions. The quality of the wave functions may be improved by varying polynomial
coefficients in the exponent, and for larger clusters it becom es important to include them.
For the optimization we used a sample consisting of 4000 confi gurations and gradually increased the prefacor degree
to improve quality of the trial functions. For Ne clusters we performed diffusion Monte Carlo15calculations using
optimized wavefunctions with prefactor degrees up to 14. We found that the projected energies have converged
when the prefactor degree of 12 and higher is used. The result s presented in Table I were obtained using variational
wavefunctions with degree of 12 in the prefactor.
Before we present detailed estimates of the energy we mentio n the sources of errors of this method.2In addition to
the usual statistical errors of Monte Carlo computations, t here are two systematic errors. For any finite projection
timetand in the limit of vanishing statistical errors, the energi es computed by this method are upper bounds to theTABLE I. Energy levels Ekof the rare gas trimers; the errors are estimated to be a few un its in the least significant decimal.

exact energies.16In practice, since the errors increase with projection time one should choose the smallest projection
time such that the corresponding error and statistical erro rs are of the same order of magnitude. A troublesome detail
is that at that point the results tend to have a non-Gaussian d istribution,17which makes it difficult to produce error
bars with a sharply defined statistical meaning. In addition , there is the time-step error, which arrises because the
imaginary-time evolution operator exp( −tH) has to be evaluated as the limit τ→0 of [exp( −τH) +O(τ2)]t/τ, but
this error is much more easy to control.
In order to eliminate the time-step error from the diffusion M onte Carlo calculation we verified that there was no
statistically significant difference between time steps τ=0.4, 0.2 and 0.1. In the diffusion Monte Carlo calculations
we use 1.3 million Monte Carlo steps (16 blocks with 80 000 dat a per block). For Ar, Kr, and Xe trimers we found
that the quality of the wavefunctions does not improve beyon d the degree of 10 in the prefactor. The results in Table
I for the three more massive noble gas atoms were obtained usi ng trial wavefunctions with polynomials of degree 10.
Independence of the time-step error within the statistical error was established by comparing τ=0.8, 0.6, and 0.4.
The number of Monte Carlo steps is the same as for Ne. The resul ts in Table I agree with, and in some cases improve
upon, those of Leitner et al.13.
In Table II we present results for the energies of the first five levels of Ar clusters of sizes 4 through 7. Our method
allows one to go beyond 7 atom clusters, but as one can see from Table II the statistical error increase with system size.
To obtain more accurate results for larger clusters it would probably be helpful to include higher order correlations
in the wavefunction. In the calculations for 4 through 7 atom clusters we used a 10 degree prefactor and an exponent
of degree three. Again, 1.3 million step diffusion Monte Carl o results were compared for τ=0.8, 0.6, and 0.4.
Finally, Fig. 1 contains three energy levels as a function of mass for a four particle cluster. The results are plotted
using variables chosen so that there is linear dependence bo th for large masses and for energies close to zero.12
As the energy of the levels approaches zero, both the optimiz ation and the projection methods begin to fail, and
correspondingly data points are missing. Again, the use of t rial wavefunctions with four-body correlations are likely
to allow one continue to smaller masses.

Abstract
Time invariance problem of a photon absorption process in at oms
and molecules is discussed.
PACS number: 42.50.-p
The Dirac equation, in the case of electromagnetic interact ion, is not
invariant under unitary time inversion [1]. However, a comm on opinion exists
that the electromagnetic interaction in nature must be time invariant [2]. The
attempts to find what is a proof basis of such point of view in a s pecial case
of a photon absorption process in atoms and molecules give on ly indistinct
references point at Einstein’s works [3].
If one keeps in mind the Einstein coefficients of absorption an d stimulated
emission, this basis is erroneous. The Einstein coefficients characterize inte-
gral cross-section of optical transition. Time invariance preserving demands
equality not only the integral cross-section, but also it de mands equality of
spectral width of forward and backward optical transitions . Einstein nothing
writes about the width of optical transitions. So, Einstein coefficients have
no direct connection to T-invariance of photon absorption p rocess.
There is also exists the Einstein’s opinion ”that physics co uld be restricted
to the time-symmetric case for which retarded and advanced fi elds are equiv-
alent” [4]. Obviously there is a main basis of existing point of view, because
of any experimental result in proof of T-invariance preserv ing in a photon
absorption process is absent.
In contrast, for the opposite point of view we have one direct and com-
plete experimental proof and a number of indirect evidences . The direct and
complete experimental proof is connected with the experime ntal study of
the so-called line wings [5]. The experiments clearly show a very strong T-
invariance violation in a photon absorption process in mole cules. Although
the integral cross-section of forward and backward optical transitions are ob-
viously the same, the spectral width and cross-section for s uch transitions
differ on several order of magnitude [6].
The concept of T-invariance violation of a photon absorptio n process is
a good basis for explanation of most effects in nonlinear opti cs from a pure
quantum position without using any semiclassical approxim ation [7]. There
1are indirect experimental proofs. The most striking exampl e is the popula-
tion transfer effect in the case of sweeping a resonance condi tions in a two
level system. On the basis of T-invariance violation of abso rption process
this effect has a simple and natural explanation [8]. In contr ast, on the basis
of semiclassical wave approximation theory the explanatio n of this effect looks
like as the ravings of a madman [9].
On the whole such situation may be called as the second ”Einst ein paradox”a.
When great authority and delusion of one scientist delay on d ecades progress
of physical theory in some fields of scientific research. So, d o we have ”Einstein
paradox” in quantum optics?
aThe first paradox is connected with quantum statistics [10,1 1].

We provide the theoretical basis for understanding the phen omenon in
which an ultra cold atom incident on a possibly warm target wi ll not stick,

problem is viewed as a scattering event purely within the con text of scatter-
ing theory. The question of sticking is then simply and natur ally identified
with the formation of a long lived resonance. One crucial phy sical insight
that emerges is that the many internal degrees of freedom ser ve to decohere
the incident one body wavefunction, thus upsetting the deli cate interference
process necessary to form a resonance in the first place. This is the physical
reason for not sticking.
I. INTRODUCTION
The problem of low energy sticking to surfaces has attracted much attention over the
years [1–5]. The controversial question has been the ultral ow energy limit of the incoming
species, for either warm or cold surfaces. A battle has ensue d between two countervailing
effects, which we will call classical sticking and quantum re flection. The concept of quantum
reflection is intimately tied into threshold laws, and was re cognized in the 1930’s by Lennard-
Jones [1]. Essentially, flux is reflected from a purely attrac tive potential with a probability
which goes as 1 −α√ǫ, asǫ→0, whereαis a constant and ǫis the translational energy
of the particle incident on the surface. Classically the tra nsmission probability is unity.
Reflection at long range prevents inelastic processes from o ccurring, but if the incoming
particle should penetrate into the strongly attractive reg ion, the ensuing acceleration and
hard collision with the repulsive short range part of the pot ential leads to a high probability
of inelastic processes and sticking.
The blame for the quantum reflection can be laid at the feet of t he WKB approximation,
which breaks down in the long range attractive part of the pot ential at low energy. Very far
out, the WKB is good even for low energy, because the potentia l is so nearly flat. Close in,
the kinetic energy is high, because of the attractive potent ial, even if the asymptotic energy
is very low, and again WKB is accurate. But in between there is a breakdown, which has
been recognized and exploited by several groups [6–11]. We s how in the paper folling this
one that the breakdown occurs in a region around |V| ≈ǫ; i.e. aproximately where the
kinetic and potential energies are equal.
It would seem that quantum reflection would settle the issues of sticking, since if the
particle doesn’t make it in close to the surface there is no st icking. (Fig 1) There is one
caveat, however, which must be considered: quantum reflecti on can be defeated by the
existence of a resonance in the internal region, i.e. a thres hold resonance. (Fig 2)
The situation is very analogous to a high Q Fabry-Perot cavit y, where using nearly 100%
reflective, parallel mirrors gives near 100% reflection exce pt at very specific wavelengths.
1At these specific energies a resonace buildup occurs in the in terior of the cavity, permiting
near 100% transmission. Such resonances are rare in a one dim ensional world, but the huge
number of degrees of freedom in a macroscopic solid particle makes resonance ubiquitous.
Indeed, the act of colliding with the surface, creating a pho non and dropping into a local
bound state of the attractive potential describes a Feshbac h resonance. Thus, the resonances
are just the sticking we are investigating, and we must not tr eat them lightly! Perhaps it is
not obvious after all whether sticking occurs.
After the considerable burst of activity surrounding the st icking issue on the surface
of liquid Helium [12,13], and after a very well executed theo retical study by Clougherty
and Kohn [4], the controversy has settled down, and the commo n wisdom has grown that
sticking does not occur at sufficiently low energy. While we ag ree with this conclusion,
we believe the theoretical foundation for it is not complete , nor stated in a wide enough
domain of physical situations. For example, Ref. [4] treats only a harmonic slab with one
or two phonon excitation. It is not clear whether the results apply to a warm surface. On
the experimental side, even though quantum reflection was ob served from a liquid Helium
surface, that surface has a very low density of available sta tes (essentially only the ripplons)
which could be a special case with respect to sticking. Thus, the need for more rigorous
and clear proof of non-sticking in general circumstances is evident. This paper gives such
an analysis. In a following paper, application is made to spe cific atom-surface and slab
combinations, and the rollover to the sticking regime as ene rgy is increased (which can be
treated essentially analytically) is given.
The strategy we use puts a very general and exact scattering f ormalism to work, providing
a template into which to insert the properties of our target a nd scatterer. Then very general
results emerge, such as the non-sticking theorem at zero ene rgy. The usual procedure of
defining model potentials and considering one phonon proces ses etc. is not necessary. All
such model potentials and Hamiltonians wind up as parameter s in the R-matrix formalism.
The details of a particular potential are of course importan t for quantitative results, but the
range of possible results can be much more easily examined by inserting various parameters
into the R-matrix formalism. All the possible choices of R-m atrix parameters give the correct
threshold laws. Certain trends are built into the R-matrix f ormalism which are essentially
independent of the details of the potentials.
Before commencing with the R matrix treatment, we briefly con sider the problem per-
turbatively in order to better elucidate the role played by q uantum reflection. We emphasize
that none of the perturbation section is actually necessary for our final conclusions.
In a perturbative treatment for our slab geometry, quantum r eflection simply results in
the entrance channels’ wave function (at threshold) having its amplitude in the interaction
region go to zero as ke∼√ǫwhen normalized to have a fixed incoming flux. ( keis the
magnitude |/vectorke|of the incident wavevector of the incoming atom). The inelas tic transition
probabilities are proportional to the potential weighted o verlap of the channel wavefunctions
and this immediately leads to the conclusion that the inelas tic probability itself vanishes as
ke∼√ǫ. As mentioned, this conclusion is shown to rigorously remai n true using the R
matrix. We show in this paper that in spite of the inherently m any-body nature of the
problem, in the ultra-cold limit we can correctly obtain the long-range form of the entrance
channel’s wavefunction by solving for the one-dimensional motion in the long-range surface-
atom attraction (i.e. the diagonal element of the many-chan nel potential matrix). This

allows quantitative predictions of the sticking probabili ty, which we do in the following
paper. There, we further exploit the perturbative point of v iew together with an analysis of
WKB to predict a ‘post-threshold’ behavior as quantum reflec tion abates, when the incoming
energy is increased.
II. GEOMETRY AND NOTATION
The incident atom is treated as a point particle at position ( x,y). To keep the notation
simple we leave out the z-coordinate and confine our discussion to two spatial dimens ions.
Thus a cross-section will have dimensions of length etc. It w ill be quite obvious how and

freedom of the scattering target, which we take to be a slab of crystalline or amorphous
material. Let Ω c(u),c= 1,2,···, be the manybody target wave functions in the absence of
interactions with the incident particle, and having energy Etarget

between the incident atom and all the internal degrees of fre edom of the slab. For simplicity
we assume for the moment that there is no interaction between slab and atom for x>a.
III. PRELIMINARIES: PERTURBATION
As stated above, we excercise the perturbative treatment fo r insight only; our final
conclusions are based on nonperturbative arguments.
We treat the interaction Uint(x,y,u ) between slab and atom by separating out a ‘mean’
potential felt by the atom that is independent of yandu; call itU(0)(x). The remainder
U(1)(x,y,u )≡Uint(x,y,u )−U(0)(x) is treated as a perturbation.
Now the incident beam is scattered by the entire length (say f romy=−LtoL= 2L) of
wall which it illuminates. If all measurements are made clos e to the wall so that its length

unit length of wall, a dimensionless probability. More spec ifically, we will assume that the

e, because by our proposition the amplitude of φ(x′;kex)∼kex∼ke. Together with the
1/keprefactor we get an overall behavior of kefor the inelastic probability as claimed.
To show that indeed as ke→0 the amplitude of φ(x;kex) in the internal region x<a goes to
zero aske∼√ǫ, we temporarily disregard the required normalization of φ(x;kx) of Eq. (7)
and fix its initial conditions (slope and value) at some point inside the interaction region
x < a such that the regularity condition is ensured. We then integ rate out to x=a. Let
us denote this unnormalized solution with a prime, as φ′(x;kx). The point is for kxvarying
near 0, both v(the value) and s(the slope) that the solution emerges with at x=a, are
independent of kxand in fact the interior solution thus obtained is itself ind ependent of kx.
This is because the local wave vector k(x) =/radicalBig
2m(ǫ−U(x))/¯h2essentially stays the same
function of xfor allǫnear 0. Therefore for x>a φ (x;kx) continues onto
vcos[kx(x−a)] +s
kxsin[kx(x−a)]x>a (8)
This is a phase-shifted sine wave of amplitude ∼1/kx. We must enforce the normalization
of Eq. (7) and get φ(x;kx)∼kxφ′(x;kx). As a result, the interior solution gets multiplied by
kxand we thereby have our result. φ(x;kx) is the solution of a one-dimensional Schrodinger
equation for the incoming particle in the one-dimensional l ong-range potential created by
the slab. The suppression of its amplitude by√ǫnear the slab is due to the reflection
it suffers where the interaction turns on. Within the perturb ative set-up the non-sticking
conclusion is then already foregone [1].
The problem is whether we can really accept this verdict of th e one-dimensional un-
perturbed solution, when in fact we know that the turning on o f the perturbation (many
body interactions) causes a multitude of resonances to be cr eated, internal resonances being
exactly the situation in which the Proposition above is know n to badly fail. It appears that
the perturbation is in no sense a small physical effect. There fore a nonpeturbative approach
is needed. Here we use R-matrix theory in its general form to a ccomplish the task.
5IV. S-MATRIX AND R-MATRIX
One point that the preceding section has made clear is that it is the energies (both initial
and final) in the x-direction, perpendicular to the slab that are most relevan t. In fact as
regards the final form of our answers the motion of the ydegree of freedom may as well
have been the motion of another internal degree of freedom of the slab. In other words,
mathematically speaking, the ydegree of freedom may be subsumed by incorporating it
as just another u. For example, we may imagine the incident atom being confined in the
y-direction by the walls of a wave-guide at y=−LandLthat is large enough so that it could
not possibly change the physics of sticking. Then we quite ri gorously have a bound internal
state of the form
Ωc,n(y,u) = Ωc(u) sinnπy
L(9)
xis now the only scattering degree of freedom. There will be no necessity in carrying along
the extra index nand variable yas in Eq. (9), and we will simply continue to write Ω c(u)
instead. Thus with this understanding, the problem is essen tially one-dimensional in the
scattering degree of freedom.
We proceed to derive the expression for the Smatrix in terms of the so-called Rmatrix,
and derive the structure of the Rmatrix. For simplicity we continue to assume for the
moment that there is no interaction for x>a. Then forx>a, the scattering wavefunction
of the interacting system corresponding to the scattering p article coming in on one entrance
channel, say c=e, with energy ǫ= ¯h2k2

where the sum must include all channels, even though the open channels are finite in number.
The factors of k−1/2
cin Eq. (10) mean that the flux in each channel is proportional o nly to
the square of the coefficient and hence ensure the unitarity of S. With this convention, the
open-open part of the S-matrix—the n×nsubmatrixScc′withc,c′= 1,2,...,n —is unitary.√kc≡eiπ/4√κcmay be arbitrarily chosen since it cannot affect the open-ope n part of S.

V. S MATRIX NEAR A RESONANCE
As discussed in the introduction, the resonances are a key to the sticking issue. Sticking
is essentially a long lived Feshbach resonance in which ener gy has been supplied to surface
and bulk degrees of freedom, temporarily dropping the scatt ering particle into a bound
state of the attractive potential. Thus we must study resona nces in various circumstances
in the low incident translational energy regime. We derive t he approximation for S(E) near
E=E0, a resonant energy of the compound system. E0is the total energy of the joined
(resonant) system. Within the R-matrix approach, the χλ(x,u) of section IV are bound,
compound states with Neuman boundary conditions at x=a.R-matrix theory properly
couples these bound state to the continuum, but some of the ei genstates are nonetheless
weakly coupled to the continuum, as evidenced by small value s of theγλc’s of section IV;
these are the measure of the strength of the continuum coupli ngs. While every one of the
R−matrix bound states will result in a pole Eλin theRmatrix expansion, only the weakly
coupled ones are the true long lived Feshbach resonances of p hysical interest. It is also
helpful to know that the values of these ‘truly’ resonant pol es atEλare the most stable to
changes in the position x=aof the box. This in fact provides one unambiguous way to
identify them. Our purpose here is to derive the resonant app roximation to the Smatrix in
the vicinity of one of these Feshbach resonances. We do so usi ng the form of the R-matrix
in Eq. (19). Note that the energy density ρ(E) = 1/D(E) of these Feshbach resonances will
be large because of the large number of degrees of freedom of t he target.D(E) is the level
spacing of the quasibound, resonant states.
A. Isolated Resonance
As mentioned, the point of view we will take is to identify a re sonant energy with a
particular pole Eλin the Rmatrix expansion of Eq. (19). Those Eλcorresponding to
resonances are a subsequence of the Eλappearing in the expansion in Eq. (19). For Enear
a well isolated resonance at Eλwe separate the sum-over-poles expansion of the R-matrix
into a single matrix term having elementsγλcγλc′
Eλ−E, plus a sum over all the remaining terms,
call itN. If the energy interval between Eλand all the other poles is large compared to the
open-open residue at Eλthen we may expect that the n×nopen-open block of Nwill have
all its elements to be small. Then rewriting the inverse in Eq . (22)

Also define (Γ λc/2)1/2≡γλc√kc,c= 1,2,···,n. This defines the sign of the square-root on

Γλc’s and their square-roots, and not having to use the γλc’s themselves. Thus we arrive at

For us the essential point is that
Γλc= 2kc(E)γ2
λc, (35)
that the partial widths Γ λcdepend on the energy E, through the kinematic factor kc(E).
Mostly this energy dependence is small and irrelevant excep t where the kc’s and hence Γ λc’s
are varying near 0. These are the partial widths of the open ch annels near threshold. Hence
|Sce|2(c∝negationslash=e) an inelastic probability behaves like ke∼√ǫwhen the entrance channel is at
threshold. Including the background term ( M∝negationslash= 0) does not change this. To see this we may
9perform the inverse in Eq. (22) to first order in Mand then get an additional contribution

(and rows) from their definitions and so a matrix element bcc′of the matrix in parentheses

As mentioned our interest is in the case when the entrance cha nnel is at threshold so that
this dependence is√ke, making the inelastic probability |Sce|2still continue to behave as
ke∼√ǫ.
B. Overlapping Resonances
Here we require the form of the Smatrix near an energy Ewhere many of the quasi-
bound states may be simultaneously excited, i.e. the resona nces overlap. Again, neglecting
background for the moment, the Smatrix is simply taken to be a sum over the various
resonances.

λ+iΓλ/2(38)
whereAλis an×nrank 1 matrix with the cc′th component as Γ1/2
λcΓ1/2
λc′. There is no entirely
direct justification of this form, but one can see that there i s much which it gets correct.
TheAλare symmetric, hence Sis symmetric. Obviously it has the poles in the right
places allowing the existence of decaying states with a pure ly outgoing wave at the resonant
energies. A crucial additional assumption that also makes Sapproximately unitary is that
the signs of the Γ1/2
λcare random and uncorrelated both in the index λas well asc, regardless
of how close the energy intervals involved may be. One simple consequence is that we
approximately have that
AλAλ′=δλλ′ΓλAλ (39)
in the sense that the l.h.s. is negligible for λ∝negationslash=λ′in comparison to the value for λ=λ′.
With Eq. (39) it is easy to verify the approximate unitarity o fS.
We investigate now the onset of the overlapping regime as Eincreases.D(E), the level
spacing of the resonant E(r)
λ, is a rapidly decreasing function of its argument. On the oth er
hand, Γλ= Γλ1+ Γλ2+···+ Γλn, and since more channels are open at higher energy, Γ λis
increasing with the energy of the resonance. The widths must therefore eventually overlap,
10and Γλ≫D/parenleftBig
E(r)

for the larger members of the sequence of E(r)
λ’s. In this regard there is
a useful estimate due to Bohr and Wheeler [15], that for nlarge

Appendix A derives this using a phase space argument. Here we point out that this is
entirely consistent with the assumption of the random signs , indeed requiring it to be true.
Take for example a typical inelastic amplitude
Scc′=−i/summationdisplay
λΓ1/2
λcΓ1/2
λc′
E(r)
λ−E−iΓλ/2(c∝negationslash=c′) (41)
First let us note that the Γ λbeing the sum of many random variables (the partial widths Γ λc)
do not fluctuate much. Let Γ denote their typical value over th enoverlapping resonances.
Also since Γ = nDit follows that the typical size of a partial width Γ λcisD. Therefore the
typical size of the product Γ1/2
λcΓ1/2
λc′isDbut these random variables fluctuate randomly over
the indexλ, and moreover the sign is random. Thus for energies in the ove rlapping domain
Scc′is a sum of ncomplex numbers each of typical size D/Γ = 1/n, but random in sign.
This makes for a sum of order 1 /√n. Clearly this is as required to make the n×nmatrix
Sunitary. Note that the above argument fails (as is should) if c∝negationslash=c′because then the signs
of Γ1/2
λcΓ1/2
λc= Γλ>0 are of course not random.
Unlike the case of the isolated resonance, the S-matrix elem ents here are smoothly varying

just shifts this smooth variation by a constant. If Bcc′is also thought of as arising from a
sum over the individual backgrounds then for the same reason s as discussed at the end of the
preceding section |Bce|2∼ke∼√ǫfor an entrance channel near threshold. For simplicity
we will continue to take Bcc′to be 0 and look at the case with background in the appendix.
VI. Q-MATRIX AND STICKING
From the viewpoint of scattering theory, the sticking of the incident particle to the target
is just a long-lived resonance. It is natural then to investi gate the time-delay for the collision.
Smith [14] introduced the collision lifetime or Q-matrix
Q≡i¯hS∂S†
∂E(43)
which encapsulates such information. We review some of the r elevant properties of Q. The
rhs of Eq. (43) involves the ‘open-open’ upper left block of Sso that Qis also ann×n
energy-dependent matrix, having dimensions of time. For 1- dimensional elastic potential
scattering S=eiφ(e)andQreduces to the familiar time delay i¯h∂φ(E)
∂E. If/vector vis a vector
11whose entries are the coefficients of the incoming wave in each channel then /vector vtrQ(E)/vector vis the
average delay time experienced by such an incoming wave. Bec ause physically the particle
is incident on only one channel, /vector vconsists of all 0’s except for a 1 in the eth slot so that
the relevant quantity is just the matrix element Qee(E). Smith shows that this delay time
is the surplus probability of being in a neighborhood of the t arget (measured relative to the
probability if no target were present) divided by the flux arr iving in channel e. This matches
our intuition that when the delay time is long, there is a high er probability that the particle
will be found near the target.
Furthermore, as a Hermitian matrix, Q(E), can be resolved into its eigenstates /vector v(1)···/vector v(n)
with eigenvalues q1···qn. The components of /vector v(1)are the incoming coefficients of a quasi-
bound state with lifetime q1and so on. Then
/vector vtrQ(E)/vector v=n/summationdisplay
j=1qj|/vector v(j)·/vector v|2. (44)
As can be seen from this expression, the average time delay re sults, in general, from the
excitation of multiple quasi-stuck states each with its lif etimeqjand probability of formation
|/vector v(j)·/vector v|2. However, we will find that using our resonant approximation to the Smatrix near
a resonant energy E(r)
λthe time delay will consist of only one term from the sum on the rhs
of Eq. (44), all the other eigenvalues being identically 0.

where the second equation has the interpretation (for each t erm) as the life-time of the mode,
multiplied by the probability of its formation. Note how for each resonance E(r)
λthere is
only one term corresponding to the decomposition of Eq. (44) . The actual measured lifetime
is the average of Qee(E) averaged over the energy spectrum |g(E)|2of the collision process.
A. Energy averaging over spectrum
With the target in state Ω e(u) wherec=eis the entrance channel, the energy of the
target is fixed, and the time-dependent solution will look li ke

Recall,Eis the total energy of the system. We are interested in the thr eshold situation
where the incident kinetic energy of the incoming particle ǫ→0. This can be arranged
ifg(E) is peaked at E0with a spread ∆ Esuch that i) E0is barely above Etarget
eand ii)
∆E=δǫis some small fraction of ǫ, the mean energy of the incoming particle. The second
condition ensures that we may speak unambiguously of the inc oming particle’s mean energy.

centred at the E(r)
λ’s with width Γ λand Eq. (51) is just a measure of their mean value over
the ∆Einterval.
So long as the ∆ Einterval around which we are averaging, is broad enough to st raddle
many of these Lorentzians, the mean height is just

∆E×ρ(E)∆EׯhπΓλe
Γλ(52)
where the second factor is the number of Lorentzians in the ∆E interval and the third factor
is the area under the ‘ λth’ Lorentzian. This is true regardless of whether or not the y are
overlapping. It will be convenient to write Γ λas
Γλ=n×2¯kλvar(γλ) (53)
where var(γλ) is the variance of the set of γλc′sover thenopen channels and ¯kλis a mean
or effective wavenumber kcover the open channels, which for a particular realization λwe
take to be defined by Eq. (53) itself. Let ∝angb∇acketleft ∝angb∇acket∇ightdenote the average over the occurrences of the
quantity in the ∆ Einterval. Γ ≡ ∝angb∇acketleftΓλ∝angb∇acket∇ight,¯k≡ ∝angb∇acketleft¯kλ∝angb∇acket∇ight. Then Eq. (52) simplifies

which tends to 0 as ke∼√ǫ. The form of Eq. (55) and all the steps leading up to it remain
valid whether the Lorentzians are overlapping or not, as lon g as the ∆E= ∆ǫinterval which
we are averaging over includes many of them.
B. On an isolated resonance
If the target is cold enough that the resonances are isolated , then as the incident particle’s
energyǫ→0, adhering to the condition ∆ ǫ < ǫ will eventually result in ∆ ǫbecoming
13narrower than the resonance widths. It becomes possible the n for ∆ǫto be centered right
around a single isolated resonance at E(r)
λ. In this case ∝angb∇acketleftQee(E)∝angb∇acket∇ightis found simply by putting
E=E(r)

Even in this case there is the√ǫbehavior as ǫ→0 and there is no sticking.

Γ2
λ=¯h
Γλebecause Γ λ= Γλe. In fact,e= 1, and ∝angb∇acketleftQee(E)∝angb∇acket∇ightdiverges, implying in this case
that it is possible to have the particle stick. This is an exce ption to all the cases above but
is experimentally not so relevant because we may always expe ct to find some exothermic
channels open for a target with many degrees of freedom.
VII. INELASTIC CROSS SECTIONS AND STICKING
Another physically motivated measure of the sticking proba bility may be obtained by
studying the total inelastic cross-section of the collisio n. The idea is that any long lived
“sticking” is overwhelmingly likely to result in an inelast ic colision process; i.e. that the
scattering particle will leave in a different channel than it entered with. Using the original
Wigner approach it is possible to show that for our case where we have only one scattering
degree of freedom, the inelastic probability for an exother mic and endothermic collision
vanishes like ke. The only possible exception to this is a measure zero chance of a resonance
exactly at the threshold energy, Etarget
e. In the event that there is a resonance E(r)
λclose to
but above this threshold energy, it is only necessary that Eis belowE(r)
λ(by an energy of
at least ∆E, the spread in energy) in order to observe the usual Wigner th reshold behavior:
Pinelastic →0 likeke∝√ǫ (57)
for the inelastic probability. However our problem is unusu al in the sense that because of
the large number of degrees of freedom of the target, we will a lways find resonances between
Etarget
eandEno matter how small E−Etarget
e=ǫis. Thus the Wigner regime is not
accessible. Still the surprise is that a simple computation reveals the same behavior holds

Asketends to 0, this gives the√ǫWigner behavior showing that there is no sticking.
The above argument fails when there is only one open channel. There are no inelastic
channels to speak of. In this case, if the energy Ecoincides with a resonant energy E(r)
λwe
will have the exceptional case of sticking, as discussed at t he end of the previous section.
But as pointed out there, this is primarily of theoretical in terest only.
VIII. CHANNEL DECOHERENCE
The only case for which we stick is seen to be the case of when we are sitting right on
top of a resonance with the incoming energy so well resolved t hat we are completely within
the resonance width, AND there are no exothermic channels op en. Having no such channels
open amounts to an infintesimally low energy for a large targe t. Otherwise, the sticking
probability tends to 0 as√ǫin every case.
A. Time dependent picture
From the time independent point of view, the physical reason for the absence of low
energy sticking is contained in the factorΓλe
Γλof Eq. (48). This is the formation probability
for the compound state. We will explain physically why it is s mall forn≫1. The resonance
state is a many-body entangled state. If we imagine the decay of this compound state
(already prepared by some other means say) each open channel carries away some fraction
of the outgoing flux, with no preference for any one particula r channel. Running this whole
process in reverse it becomes evident that the optimum way to formthe compound state
is to have each channel carry an incoming flux with exactly the right amplitude and phase.
This corresponds to however an entangled initial state. Wit h all the incoming flux instead
constrained to be in only one channel it becomes clear that we are not exciting the resonance
in the optimal way and the buildup of amplitude inside is not s o large; i.e., the compound
state has a small probability of forming.
The time dependent view is even more revealing. Imagine a wav e packet incident on
the system. For a single open channel Feshbach resonance, th e build-up of amplitude in
the interior region can be decomposed as follows. As the lead ing edge of the wavepacket
approaches the region of attraction, most is turned away due to the quantum reflection
phenomena. (It is a useful model to think of the quantum reflec tion as due to a barrier
located some distance away from the interaction region.) Th e wavefunction in the interaction
region constructively interferes with new amplitude enter ing the region. At the same time,
the amplitude leaving the region is out of phase with the refle cted wave, cancelling it and
assisting more amplitude to enter.
15Now suppose many channels are open. All the flux entering the i nterior must of course
return, but it does so fragmented into all the other open chan nels. Only the fraction that
makes it back into the entrance channel has the opportunity t o interfere (constructively) with
the rest of the entering wavepacket. The constructive inter ference is no longer efficient and is
in fact almost negligible for n≫1, thereby ruining the delicate process that was responsibl e
for the buildup of the wave function inside. The orthogonali ty of the other channels prevents
interference in the scattering dimension. If we trace over t he target coordinates, leaving only
the scattering coordinate, most of the coherence and the con structive interference is lost,
and no resonant buildup occurs. Therefore, one way to unders tand the non-sticking is to
say that decoherence is to blame.
B. Fabry-Perot and Measurement Analogy
Suppose we have a resonant quantum mechanical Fabry-Perot c avity, where the particle
has a high probability of being found in between the two reflec ting barriers. Now, during the
time it takes for the probability to build up in the interior, suppose we continually measure
the position of the particle inside. In doing so we decohere t he wave function and in fact
never find it there at all. Alternatively, imagine simply til ting one barrier (mirror) to make it
non-parallel to the first and redirecting the flux into an orth ogonal direction, again spoiling
the resonance. Measurement entangles other (orthogonal) d egrees of freedom with the one of
interest, resulting in flux being effectively re-directed in to orthogonal states. Thus the states
of the target (if potentially excitable) are in effect contin ually monitoring (measuring) to see
if the incoming particle has made it in inside, ironically th en preventing it from ever doing
so. The buildup process of constructive interference in the interaction region, described in
the preceding paragraph, is slower than linear in t. Therefore, the constant measurement
of the particle’s presence (and resultant prevention of sti cking) is an example of the Zeno
“paradox” in measurement theory.
IX. CONCLUSION
We have presented a general approach to the low energy sticki ng problem, in the form
ofR-matrix theory. This theory is well suited for the task, sinc e it highlights the essential
features of multichannel scattering at low incident transl ational energy. We did not need
to make a harmonic or other approximate assumptions about th e solid target, which is
characterized by its long range interaction with the incomi ng particle and its density of
states. “Warm” surfaces are included in the formalism, and d o not change the non-sticking
conclusion.
Several supporting arguments for the non-sticking conclus ion were given. Perhaps most
valuable is the physical decoherence picture associated wi th the conclusion that there is no
sticking in the zero translational energy limit.
Reviewing the observations leading up to the non-sticking c onclusion, we start with the
near 100% sticking in the zero translational energy limit cl assically (sticking probability
1). We then invoke the phenomenon of quantum reflection (Fig. 1), which keeps the incident
particle far from the surface (sticking probability 0). Thi rd, we note that quantum reflection
16can be overcome by resonances (Fig. 2), and since resonances are ubiquitous in a many body
target, being the Feshbach states by which a partice could st ick to the surface, perhaps
sticking approaches 1 after all. Fourth, we suggest that dec oherence (from the perspective
of the incoming channel, with elestic scattering definded as coherent) ruins the resonance
effect, reinstating the quantum reflection as the determinin g effect. Finally, then, there
is no sticking, and the short answer as to why is: quantum refle ction and many channel
decoherence. The ultrashort explanation is simply quantum reflection, but this is dangerous
and non-rigorous, as we have tried to show.
All this does not tell us much about how sticking turns on as in cident translational
energy is raised. This is the subject of the following paper, where a WKB analysis proves
very useful. Quantum reflection is a physical phenomenon lik ed directly to the failure of the
WKB approximation.

(August 2000)
In paper I [1] we showed that under very general circum-
stances, atoms approaching a surface will not stick as its in -
coming energy approaches zero. This is true of either warm
or cold surfaces. Here we explore the transition region from
non sticking to sticking as energy is increased. The key to un -
derstanding the transition region is the WKB approximation
and the nature of its breakdown. Simple rules for understand -
ing the rollover to higher energy, post-threshold behavior , in-
cluding analytical formulae for some asymptotic forms of th e
attractive potential are presented. We discuss a practical ex-
ample of atom-surface pair in various substrate geometries .
We also discuss the case of low energy scattering from clus-
ters.
I. INTRODUCTION
The problem of sticking of atoms to surfaces at very
low collision velocities has a long history and has met
with some controversy. The issue goes back to the early
distorted wave Born approximation results of Lennard-
Jones [3], who obtained the threshold law sticking prob-
ability going as kin the limit of low velocities. This
paper is a companion to paper I [1], wherein we put the
problem on a firmer theoretical foundation. We showed
(non-perturbatively) that in an ultracold collision a sim-
plistic one-body view of things is essentially correct even
if the number of internal degrees of freedom is very large.
We concluded that approaching atoms will not stick to
surfaces if the approach velocity is low enough, even if the
surface is warm. From the methods used, it is clear that
the non-sticking rule would apply to clusters as well as
semi-infinite surfaces, and would also apply to projectiles
more complex than atoms.
From an experimental perspective atom-surface stick-
ing could impact the area of guiding and trapping atoms
in material wires and containers. In those applications it
is necessary to predict the velocities needed for quantum
reflection, sticking, and the transition regime between
them. We do so in this paper.
Above a certain temperature or kinetic energy, but still
well below the attractive well depth of the atom surface
potential, atoms will stick to surfaces with near 100 per-
cent certainty. The reason for this is simple: Classical
trajectory simulations of atom-surface collisions at low
collision velocities indicate sticking with near certaint y
because the acceleration in the attractive regime is fol-
lowed by a hard collision with the wall. This almost
always leads to sufficient energy loss from the particle to
the surface that immediate escape is not possible. Thisis true so long as the approach energy is significantly
less than the well depth, which is itself greater than the
temperature of the surface. Therefore, the onset of quan-
tum reflection is heralded by a break down in the WKB
approximation - an approximation based purely on the
(sticking) classical trajectories.
Thus, there must exist a transition region between the
non-sticking regime for very low collision velocities, and
the sticking regime at higher velocities. The key to un-
derstanding the transition region is to understand the
validity of classical mechanics (WKB) as applied to the
sticking problem. The correctness of the simplistic one-
body physics of quantum reflection from the surface, fo-
cusses our study on the WKB approximation to the co-
ordinate normal to the surface. The entrance channel
wavefunction thus obtained may also be used as input
into the Golden Rule to study the threshold behaviour
of the inelastic cross-sections. We do this in Section VI.
The nonsticking threshold behavior we established in pa-
per I is interpreted as an extension of the validity of the
so-called Wigner threshold behavior. We are also able to
make definite predictions about the nature of the post
threshold behavior of sticking in terms of inelastic cross-
sections. (Section VI).
II. QUANTUM REFLECTION AND WKB
We consider the typical case of an attractive potential
arising out of the cumulative effect of Van der Waals at-
tractions between target and incident atoms. A classical
atom would proceed straight into the interaction region
showing no sign of reflection, but the quantum mechan-
ical probability of being found inside is suppressed by a
factor of k(ask→0) as compared to the classical proba-
bility (Section VI A1 ), where kis the wave vector of the
incoming atom. This is tantamount to saying that quan-
tum mechanically the amplitude is reflected back without
penetrating the interaction region, analogous to the ele-
mentary case of reflection from the edge of a step-down
potential in one dimension while attempting to go over
the edge. A useful way to view this is to attribute the
reflection to the failure of the WKB approximation.
To be specific, we keep the geometry of paper I in
mind: an atom is incident from the right ( x >0) upon
the face of a slab ( x= 0) that lies to the left of x= 0.
For a low incoming energy ǫ≡¯h2k2/2m, a left-moving
WKB solution begun well inside the interaction region
will fail to match onto a purely left-going WKB solution
as we integrate out to large distances because the WKB
1criterion
|λ′(x)|=/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle¯hp′
p2/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle≪1 (1)
for the local accuracy of the wavefunction will in general
fail to be valid in some intermediate region. For bounded
potentials that turn on abruptly for example at x=a, it
is obvious that WKB will fail near x∼a. For long-range
potentials such as a power law V(x) =−cn/xnit is not
immediately obvious where this region of WKB failure
lies, if it exists at all. It turns out that even in this case
it is possible to identify (for small enough ǫ) a distance
(dependent on ǫ) at which the potential ‘turns on’ and
where WKB will fail. We will show below that WKB is at
its worst ( |λ′(x)|is maximized) at a distance xwhere the
kinetic and potential energies are approximately equal,
i.e where |V(x)| ∼ǫ. The distance away from the slab
at which the particle is turned around - or quantum re-
flected - is precisely this distance. Furthermore, one may
heuristically expect that the greater the failure of WKB,
the greater the reflection.
Fig. 1 shows a plot of the error term in Eq. (1) for
three different values of the incoming energy of neon on
a semi-infinite slab of SiN. The essential points to notice
are:
1) There is a greater error incurred in attempting to
apply the WKB (classical mechanics) approximation to
colder atoms than to warmer ones. Consequently, we ex-
pect that the slower the atom, the more non-classical its
behavior. In particular, slow enough atoms will be ‘quan-
tum reflected’ and will not stick.
2) As the incoming velocity is decreased the atom is
reflected at distances progressively further and further
away from the slab. This is because the interval in x
around which the WKB error is large, may be identified
as the region from which the atom is reflected.
A useful qualitative rule of thumb obtained in Section
III below is that the region of WKB error reaches all the
way out to those regions where the potential energy is
still roughly the same order of magnitude as the incom-
ing energy (Eq. (5)). This means that as ǫ→0 the error
is still large where the potential energy graph looks essen-
tially flat. In fact as ǫ→0 it is easily shown that a plot
of the WKB error will show a non-uniform convergence
to a polynomial proportional to
xn
2−1for all n >0 (2)
Fig. 1 shows the case for n= 3.

We discover that for n >2 only, we have a point where
WKB is at its worst at a distance xwhere |V(x)| ∼ǫ,

which for n >2 diverges as k→0. Note how a weaker
potential (smaller cn) isbetter at reflecting a particle at
the same energy, but allows the atom to approach closer.
Heuristically a sketch of V(x) =−cn/xnreveals why:
the weaker potential is seen to turn on more abruptly at
a point closer to x= 0, promoting an greater breakdown
of WKB there. Alternatively a simple scaling argument
with Schrodinger’s equation reveals the same trend.
The above conclusions are valid only for n >2. For
n≤2 the error term of Eq. (1) looks qualitatively dif-
ferent from that in Fig. 1. It is small at all distances
except near x= 0 where it diverges to infinity, as is ev-
ident from Eq.(2). If the physical parameters are such
that this region where WKB fails very close to the slab
is never actually manifest in the long-range part of the
potential then the ‘no-reflection’ classical behaviour wil l
be valid all the way up to distances near the slab where
the atom will begin to feel the short range forces and
loose energy to the internal degrees of freedom. For such
2a case then with n <2 we believe one will notobserve
quantum reflection.
IV. STICKING PROBABILITY
Having established that the reflection is caused by
a well-defined localized region, we solve the one-
dimensional Schrodinger equation around this region to
accurately compute the reflection probability. For an at-
tractive power law potential V(x) =−cn/xn, the rele-
vant one dimensional equation is

φe(x) is the entrance channel wavefunction. The length
scale

contains all the qualitative information about the reflec-
tion. Its relevance is twofold. Firstly, the sticking prob-
ability for small k, behaves as
Psticking ∼Nnk an (9)
where Nnis a pure numeric constant (roughly of order
10 for n= 3, and of order 1 for n= 4,5), see Ref.
[6].Psticking may be computed numerically for any k,
and Fig.2 shows Psticking vs.kanforn= 3,4, and 5.
Secondly, the distance at which the particle is turned
around is estimated by solving
/parenleftBigan
x/parenrightBign
= (kan)2(10)
for x, which is just the requirement that |V(x)|=ǫ.
Equation (9) together with equation (8) makes plain that
a smaller cnis more conducive to making quantum reflec-
tion happen, while Eq. (10) indicates that the turnaround
point is then necessarily closer to the surface. With these
effects in mind, we look at some specific cases.
V. EXAMPLES
We examine the case of incidence on a slab which may
be treated as semi-infinite, and also the case when it is a
thin film. It is useful to first look at these cases pretend-
ing there is no Casimir interaction, and assuming that
the short range form of the potential is everywhere valid.
Afterwards we put in the Casimir interaction. For clar-
ity we will pick a specific example of target and incident
atoms for most of our discussions, by specifying the nu-
meric values for the short range potential between the
atom and semi-infinite slab, since these are most com-
prehensively tabulated in reference [4].0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 11.2 1.40.20.40.60.81

on the ‘x-axis’ vs. which we plot the sticking probabilities , is
different for each n.
Fig. 3 shows the sticking probability vs. the temper-
ature of an incoming Ne atom in units of 10−9Kelvin.
The slab is silicon-nitride (SiN). The various curves are
for the different cases depending on whether we are we are
considering a thick or thin slab, and whether the Casimir
effect is included or not. We will discuss these cases be-
low, pointing out the relevant length and energy scales
involved in deciding to label the slab as semi-infinite or
thin. The mapping from the mathematically natural kan
(with n= 3 and c3= 220 meV ˚A3) scale of Fig. 2 to the
more physical temperature scale of Fig. 3 is made using

All the graphs in Fig. 3 have an initial slope of 0.5
indicating the√ǫbehaviour of the sticking probabilities
once the energies are low enough to be in the Quantum
Reflection regime. A particular temperature at which
there is a transition to the post-threshold sticking regime ,
we arbitrarily (but intuitively) define as the temperature
where the slope becomes 0.4. For the thin film case of 10
nmin our example this temperature is 10 nK.
While the parameters in our example are fairly typi-
cal, it is clear that the cubic dependence on mass and
quadratic dependence on the c3coefficient in Eq.(11),
will make this temperature range over quite a few or-
ders of magnitude. The c3’s in Ref [4], listed in units of
meV−˚A3for a variety of surface atom pairs, range in
values from 100 to 3000.

A. Semi-Infinite Slab (without Casimir)
Even though c3coefficients are known both theoret-
ically and experimentally for many surface-atom pairs,
for completeness we take a moment to look at a quick
way of estimating them. This is provided by the London
formula
Vatom−atom(r) =−3
2IAIB
IA+IBαAαB
r6≡−c6
r6,(12)
which estimates the Van der Waals interaction between
any two atoms. Iis the ionization potential and αthe
polarizability of each atom. Then summing over all the
atoms in the semi-infinite slab (thick) we get
Vslab−atom(x) =−πc6ρatoms
6×1
x3≡−c3
x3(13)
where ρatoms = the density of slab atoms. These esti-
mates are not very accurate, but correctly indicate the
physical quantities on which the answer depends. Ref-
erence [4] provides a useful compendium of these coef-
ficients. We have used c3= 220 ±4 meV ˚A3for neon
atoms incident on silicon nitride from work of [5]. This
choice of c3makes
a3≃212 nm (14)
Thus the ‘semi-infinite slab’ curve of Fig. 3 is the n= 3
curve of Fig. 2 scaled to temperature units using Eq.
(11).
B. Thin Slab (without Casimir)
From far enough away any slab will appear thin. The
surface-atom interaction will behave like
−c3
x3−−c3
(x+d)3≃−3dc3
x4(15)forx≫d, where d is the thickness of the slab. The
resulting c4coefficient equal to 3 dc3gives an a4coefficient
that can be written as
a4=/radicalbigg
2m
¯h23dc3=a3/bracketleftbigg3d
a3/bracketrightbigg(1/2)
. (16)
For macroscopic values of d(≫a3) then, it is only for
vanishingly small incident energies that the finiteness of
the slab becomes apparent. For any macroscopic dthis
will be physically irrelevant. For microscopic d(≪a3)
however, this window in energy over which the thinness of
the slab makes an appreciable difference can be larger and
even prevail for all energies. To continue our illustrative
example we pick the microscopic value of d= 10 nm.
This makes a4≃800nm. The ‘thin slab’ curve of Figure
3 shows that the sticking probabilities are substantially
reduced and the onset of Quantum Reflection occurs at
a much higher energy.
As a benchmark case, we also include what will likely
be the physically limiting case for a continuous film of
d= 1 nm. This further reduces the sticking prob-
abilities for a fixed temperature by a factor of√
10,
because the important quantity a4is reduced by this
much. (Eq.(16)). The transition temperature appears
to have increased by 3 orders of magnitude versus the
semi-infinite case.
C. Semi-infinite slab (Casimir Regime)
As the incoming energy ǫtends to 0, we have seen that
the turn-around region from which the atom ‘quantum
reflects’ moves progressively further away from the slab.
But at large distances, however, it is well known that the
interaction potential itself takes on a different form due
to Casimir effects. In particular, a semi-infinite dielectri c
slab (dielectric constant ǫs) has an interaction potential
with an atom of polarizability αgiven by
Vslab−atom(x) =−3
8π¯hcα
x4ǫs−1
ǫs+ 37/23x→ ∞ (17)
=−235(eV−˚A)α
x4ǫs−1
ǫs+ 37/23x→ ∞ (18)
Even for sufficiently large x, the form above is not exact
but a good approximation found in Ref. [7]. Our purpose
here is only to estimate the various numbers to see their
relevance. It will suffice to put αNe= 0.39˚A3and the last
factor involving ǫsis replaced by 1 since most solids and
liquids have ǫssubstantially greater than 1. This gives
ac(C)
4coefficient of 9 ×104meV˚A4and hence a resulting
a(C)
4= 93 nm. The superscript ‘C’ reminds us it is due
to the Casimir interaction which is valid only for large
enough x.
To estimate the distance beyond which the Casimir
form itself is valid, we use the statement from Ref.
4[8]: ‘Within a factor of 2, the van der Waals poten-
tial is correct at distances less than 0.12 λtr, while the
Casimir potential is correct at distances at longer range.’
λtr= [1,240 nm](eV
∆E) here is the wavelength associated
with the transition between the ground and excited state
that gives the atom its polarizability. ∆ Eis the tran-
sition energy. Knowing this much we may deduce the
qualitative features of the sticking probability curve the
arguments being similar to the cases above.
For this Casimir case and the one below, however, there
is a caveat to all this. The exact manner in which the
potential changes its near range form to its long-range
Casimir form can certainly affect the sticking probabili-
ties at the intermediate energy where it makes this tran-
sition. Some numerical experimentation choosing arbi-
trary forms of the potential having the correct short
range and long-range behavior, confirms this. Therefore
the curves in figure 3 involving Casimir forces are only
quantitatively and notquantitatively correct.
D. Thin Slab (Casimir Regime)
Even for a thin slab we expect that the distance at
which the Casimir interaction is valid remains the same
as for a semi-infinite slab made of the same material. At
these distances if x≫dis also valid, then one may expect
the surface atom interaction to behave like

probabilities, the effect being evidently less here than in
the case of the thick slab.
E. Hydrogen on ‘thick’ Helium
Rather atypical, but extremely favourable parameters
(c3= 18 meV ˚A3) are found in the case of Hydrogen
atoms incident on bulk liquid Helium. Evidence for quan-
tum reflection was experimentally seen in this system. [9]
A comparison with the parameters used in our example
of Ne on SiN:
mNe/mH= 20.03 and c(Ne−SiN)
3 /c(H−He)
3 = 220 /18.
(21)
With the use of Eq. (11), we see that the sticking proba-
bilities for this case are in fact the same curves as in Fig-
ure 3 except shifted to the right in temperature by about6.1 orders of magnitude. This puts it exactly in the milli-
Kelvin regime where sticking probabilities of about 0.01
to 0.03 were observed as temperatures ranged from about
0.3 mK to 5 mK. [9] However, the sticking probabilities
predicted by the ‘semi-infinite slab(C)’ curve of Fig. 3
are about a factor 2.5 too large, but we feel there is good
reason for this. We already mentioned the qualitative
manner in which the Casimir forces were included but it
seems that a greater error is caused for another reason.
The length scale a3= 17 nm for H-He is so small that
the WKB error is close in (see Fig. 1) where the interac-
tion potential is not exactly of the form ∼1/x3. Practi-
cally speaking this means that the region over which we
must integrate Eq.(7) must include points close to the
slab to get some convergence and thus we are violating
the assumption that the potential is ∼1/x3there. This
problem would not plague the Ne-SiN case too much, be-
cause the length scale there is substantially bigger. For
H-He we must include some short-range information to
get an improvement. Still it is the long-range forces that
are mostly responsible. Ref [10,11] and others have mod-
eled this close range behaviour and obtained better agree-
ment; the improvement coming from explicit considera-
tion of the bound states supported by the close range
potential. These appear in the potential matrix elements
of perturbation theory.
VI. RELATION TO THRESHOLD BEHAVIOR
We now wish to take a broader view of the quantum re-
flection behaviour at threshold ( k→0), and the sticking
that sets in as the energy is increased - a Post Thresh-
old behavior. In particular we want to make connection
to, and extend the well-known threshold behaviors of in-
elastic rates which were first stated most generally by
Wigner in Ref [12]. For example, Wigner showed that
the exothermic excitation rates for collisions between two
bodies with bound internal degrees of freedom tend to a
constant value as their relative translational energy tend s
to 0, provided there is no resonance at the 0 translational
energy threshold. Equivalently, the exothermic inelastic
cross-section diverges as 1 /v, a fact known in the still
older literature as the ‘1 /vlaw’. vis the relative ve-
locity of the collision. Notice especially the proviso in
the statement above, that there be no resonance at the
threshold energy; suggesting that the many resonances
between 0 and ǫprovided by a many body target could
make the law inoperative. But the entire thrust of Part 1
was to establish quite generally that this many-resonance
regime was precisely the one for which the old ‘1 /vlaw’
is reinstated.
Here we re-examine the Wigner behaviour from a dif-
ferent point of view using our understanding of quan-
tum reflection. In addition to furthering an intuitive un-
derstanding of the Wigner behaviour, viewing things in
this way will lead naturally to predicting a generic post
5threshold behavior (e.g. the 1/v law is replaced by a 1 /v2
law) and an understanding of when the sticking sets back
in asǫis increased.
The reader will have noted that we have shifted our
attention to a three dimensional geometry of incidence
on a localized cluster instead of the one dimensional case
of incidence on a slab. So long as the target dimensions
are dwarfed by the incidence wavelength we will find that
both problems are effectively one dimensional due to the
fact that it is only the s-wave which can penetrate the
interaction region. For clarity we will deal with both
cases separately.
A. Threshold and Post-Threshold Inelastic
Cross-sections
The starting point is the template provided by the
golden rule
dσe→c∝1
kρ(Ec)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/integraldisplay
all/vectorrd3r φ(−)

e,/vectork(/vector r)/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle2
(22)
for the differential cross-section for inelastic transitio ns
from internal state Ω e(u) to Ω c(u) where /vectorkand/vectorkcare the
incoming and outgoing directions of the incident atom.
We describe briefly how Eq. (22) is arrived at.
For each internal state Ω c(u) (c= 1,2,···n) that we
may imagine freezing the target in ( uincorporates all the
target degrees of freedom), there is some effective poten-
tial felt by the incoming atom. These potentials are just
the diagonal elements of the complete interaction poten-
tialU(x, u) in the Ω c(u) basis, which if present all by
themselves (off-diagonal elements 0) could only cause an
elastic collision to occur. It is the off-diagonal elements
that may be thought of as causing the inelastic transi-
tions. Treating them as a perturbation on the elastic
scattering wavefunctions we use the Golden Rule to ob-
tain Eq.(22). ρ(E) is the energy density of states of the
free atom. φ(+)
e,/vectork(/vector r) is the entrance channel wavefunction
andφ(−)
c,/vectorkc(/vector r) is the final channel wavefunction. They are
both exact elastic scattering wavefunctions in the poten-
tialsUee(/vector r) and Ucc(/vector r) respectively. The factor of 1 /k
divides the Golden Rule rate by the flux to get the prob-
ability.
Now all the kdependence of dσe→cand hence σe→cis
due to
1) the factor 1 /kand
2) The sensitive k-dependence of the amplitude of the en-
trance channel wavefunction inside the interaction region
over which the overlap integral of Eq.(22) takes place.
This is simply because the incoming amplitude is more
reflected away by the potential as k→0 resulting in the
interior amplitude being suppressed by a factor of kas
compared to what one would expect classically.1. Incidence on a Slab
For this one-dimensional situation we speak of an in-
elastic probability instead of a cross-section, but other-
wise Eq.(22) remains entirely valid here also with the
obvious modifications.
Fork→0, when WKB is invalid, we established
quite generally [2] that the entrance channel wavefunc-
tionφe(x) when normalized to have a fixed incoming flux,
had its amplitude inside the interaction region behaving
like
φe(xinside)∼k Threshold (23)
Now the change from quantum reflection at threshold
to sticking at post threshold (see Fig.2) begins to a oc-
cur at those energies at which the WKB wavefunctions
- which show no quantum reflection - may be increas-
ingly trusted. At these energies where WKB is valid we
may simply use the well-known WKB amplitude factor
1//radicalbig
k(x), to conclude that
φe(xinside)∼√
k Post−Threshold .(24)
The probability density of being found inside then be-
haves like k2at threshold (quantum reflection) and like
kat post threshold (no quantum reflection) respectively.
It is quite natural that the probability density inside
the interaction region is smaller compared to the out-
side by a factor of k, even when there is no quantum
reflection. This is simply a kinematical effect: where the
particle is moving faster, it is less likely to be found by a
factor inversely proportional to its velocity there. Class i-
cally what is unexpected is that for small enough knear
threshold, the probabilities inside are further suppressed
by a factor of k. Quantum reflection of the amplitude
from the region around |V(x)|=ǫ(section II), goes hand
in hand with the quantum suppression of the amplitude
within this region. So finally including this k-dependence
of the amplitude of φe(x) found in equations (23) and
(24) we get
Pe→c∝k Threshold
Pe→c∝const. Post−Threshold (25)
2. Incidence on a cluster
Since for large wavelengths only the s-wave interacts
with the cluster it is clear that the problem may be re-
duced in the usual manner to a one dimensional problem
again. Therefore for a unit s-wave flux the inelastic prob-
abilities will behave as before as in equations (25), but
what is really relevant is a unit plain wave flux which
provides a s-wave flux of π/k2. i.e. Even though the
problem is one-dimensional in the radial co-ordinate, the
required normalization for the incoming flux is not fixed
6to be a constant as before, but is now required to grow as
∼1/k2, in order to correctly account for the increasing
(ask→0) range of impact parameters that all ‘count
as’ s-wave. Thus we have simply to multiply the one-
dimensional probabilities of equations (25) by this factor
of 1/k2, and conclude that the inelastic cross-sections for
this cluster geometry behave like
σe→c∝1
kThreshold
σe→c∝1
k2Post−Threshold (26)
The Threshold result of Eq. (26) is just the Wigner ‘1/v
law’ we spoke of in section VI. But now we can say more.
As the incoming wavelength λincreases, we first witness
for large enough λa quadratic dependence to the exother-
mic cross-section ( σ∝λ2). It is only at still larger wave-
lengths that this dependence eventually changes over to
a linear one ( σ∝λ). This happens when the sticking
yields to the quantum reflection. This energy is mostly
determined by the long range form of the potential, and
has nothing to do with the bound state energies or any
other details involving the interaction potential.
VII. CONCLUSION
Examining the WKB error term provided a quick and
easy way to estimate the threshold temperatures required
to observe quantum reflection. It became transparent
that only power laws dying faster than −1/x2were ca-
pable of acting as quantum reflectors. The validity of
WKB at higher temperatures heralded a post-threshold
behavior in which the atom sticks. Even for other geome-
tries such as incidence on a localised three dimensional
cluster, a WKB analysis together with the Fermi Golden
Rule provided a simple understanding of this threshold
and post-threshold behavior in terms of inelastic pro-
cesses being shut off due to a reflection of the incoming
amplitude. The extremely long incoming wavelength is
invariably impedance mismatched (for potentials shorter
ranged than 1 /r2) by the abrupt change of wavelength
in the interaction region, and is therefore reflected. It
should be clear that even a repulsive interaction will ob-
viously provide such a mismatch so that the Wigner be-
havior, or quantum reflection, is quite general; though of
course most dramatic if the potential is attractive as we
have been considering throughout.
This effect of quantum reflection/suppression, which
is ultimately responsible for the threshold behaviour, is
dynamical in that it is caused by the presence of the
interaction potential. We feel that the original derivatio n
by Wigner that focuses on the k→0 behaviour of the
free space wave functions tends to obscure this physical
origin of threshold behaviour. The golden rule approach
makes it more explicit and especially paves the way for
predicting the Post-Threshold behaviour.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Abstract
Quantum Gravity is quite elusive at the experimental level; thus a
lot of interest has been raised by recent searches for quantu m gravity
effects in the propagation of light from distant sources, lik e gamma
ray bursters and active galactic nuclei, and also in earth-b ased inter-
ferometers, like those used for gravitational wave detecti on. Here we
describe a simple heuristic picture of the quantum fluctuati ons of the
gravitational field that we have proposed recently, and show how to
use it to estimate quantum gravity effects in interferometer s.
1 Introduction
The propagation of light in random or fluctuating media has lo ng been used
as a probe of their statistical properties [1]. This holds tr ue also for exotic
media like the background of gravitational waves in the spac e between the
earth and some faraway light source [2, 3, 4] (see figure 1).
Recently several authors have proposed searches for quantu m gravity ef-
fects in the propagation of light over cosmological distanc es or in earth-based
interferometers; for instance, according to Ellis, Mavrom atos and Nanopou-
los [5], the vacuum of quantum gravity should be dispersive a nd this should

namics and Physics of the Vacuum.
1Figure 1: In addition to atmospheric scintillation we expect scintil lation effects

the earth. The light emitted by a star does not travel in a stra ight line, but is
scattered by this background: therefore it displays angula r displacement and the
time of arrival fluctuates randomly.
show up as an energy-dependent spread in the arrival times of energetic pho-
tons from distant sources like gamma-ray bursters, active g alactic nuclei, and
gamma-ray pulsars. This opens up interesting observationa l opportunities for
experimentalists (see, e.g. [6, 7]), but requires either a v iolation of Lorentz
invariance or of the equivalence principle [8].
The proposal [5] is based on the latest developments of D-brane theory,
and it is yet another picture of the “space-time foam” first pr oposed by
Wheeler in 1957 [9], and later considered by other authors su ch as Hawking
[10].
Here we propose a heuristic treatment of these background flu ctuations,
which is based on the direct use of the uncertainty principle for energy and
time, with additional assumptions on the dynamic and statis tical behaviour
of the resulting quantum fluctuations. Afterwards we use thi s model to
evaluate the spectral properties of the fluctuations of the e nergy density and
of the gravitational potential, and to derive the behaviour of light in a generic
two-arm interferometer.
P. Bergmann [2] originally suggested to search for low-freq uency com-
ponents of gravitational waves by attempting to detect fluct uations in the
intensity of light, but actually most searches for this effec t have been carried
2out looking for fluctuations in the arrival times of pulses fr om millisecond
pulsars and other such sources. See [3] for the details of how one such search
is performed, and [4] for a recent review.
2 Fluctuations of the
gravitational energy density
We consider now a single quantum fluctuation of the vacuum ene rgy density
and assume that it is uniformly spread over a spherical regio n, then the total
energy associated with the fluctuation is
E=4πR3
0
3ρ, (1)
where R0is the radius of the bubble. We assume that the bubble expands
at the speed of light, so that R0=ct, where tis the time of creation of
the bubble, and that it satisfies the time-energy uncertaint y principle at all
times2, so that E≈¯ht, and therefore we find
ρ≈3¯h
4πc3t4. (2)
It is also important to note that the expanding bubbles are ju st a represen-
tation of the light cones in 3-space, therefore they are Lore ntz invariant, i.e.,
they would look the same in any other Lorentz-boosted refere nce frame. A
rough form of Lorentz invariance is thus present in our model , whose causal
structure is compatible with a relativistic model of spacet ime, and these fluc-
tuations satisfy the requirement, first discussed by Zeldov ich [12], that the
quantum vacuum must indeed be Lorentz invariant.
Now let n(/vector x, t) be the number density of the fluctuations that occur in
spacetime, i.e., n(/vector x, t)dV dt fluctuations are created in a small space-time
volume dV dt at position /vector xand time t, and assume that n(/vector x, t)dV dt is a
Poisson variate with average n0dV dt and variance n0dV dt (see fig. 2); then
the average density observed at ( /vector x0, t) and due to the fluctuations created at
2Quantum mechanics enters this simple model only by way of the uncertainty principle,
but it does so “peacefully”, and coexists with relativistic invariance in a rather natural
way.

as “bubbles” that expand at the speed of light, and are unifor mly filled with a
decreasing energy density that satisfies at all times the tim e-energy uncertainty

number density in a given space-time volume follows a simple Poisson statistics.

It is worthwhile to notice that a minimum and a maximum scale s how up nat-
urally in the calculations, and that the total energy densit y (7) is seamlessly
related to both the micro and the macrostructure of the Unive rse.

to estimate the order of magnitude of the free parameter n0, if we assume
that most of the effective cosmological constant is due to the fluctuations
considered here:

53 Fluctuations of the gravitational potential
Since we assume that fluctuations spread with the speed of lig ht, there can
be no gravitational potential outside the bubble, because f or an external
observer there is no way to know that it exists, while inside t he bubble we
assume that the gravitational potential is just the (Newton ian) potential of

Coherent time evolution of highly excited Rydberg states
in Rb (98 ≤n≤150) under pulsed electric field in high slew-
rate regime was investigated with the field ionization detec -
tion. The electric field necessary to ionize the Rydberg stat es
was found to take discrete values successively depending on
the slew rate. Specifically the slew-rate dependence of the
ionization field varies with the quantum defect value of the
states, i.e. with the energy position of the states relative to
the adjacent manifold. This discrete transitional behavio r of
the ionization field observed for the first time is considered to
be a manifestation of the strong coherence effect in the time
evolution of the Rydberg states in pulsed electric field and
opens a new effective way to stringently select a low- ℓstate
from the nearby states by field ionization.

Highly excited Rydberg states [1] in the ramped elec-
tric field is one of the most interesting systems which
provide ideal and versatile situations for investigating t he
coherence effects in the time evolution of a quantum sys-
tem with many potential-energy curves crossing one an-
other [2]. In spite of this interesting feature and also of
the potential applicability to the wide area of fundamen-
tal physics including cavity QED and quantum compu-
tation [3], the Rydberg states with high principal quan-
tum number n>∼80 have not been investigated in detail,
partly because of the difficulty in selectively detecting
a particular state from many close-lying states; in such
highly excited states, the field ionization process gener-
ally occurs both through the non-adiabatic and adiabatic
transitions, resulting multiple ionization thresholds an d
the selective detection of a particular state becomes in-
creasingly more difficult.
The purpose of this Letter is to present the experimen-
tal results on the field ionization of the Rydberg states
withn= 98−150. It was observed for the first time
that in high slew rate regime in the applied pulsed elec-
tric field, the field ionization process has single threshold
value: Specifically the ionization electric field takes dis-
crete values successively with increasing slew rate, and
this dependence varies with the position of the states rel-
ative to the adjacent manifold. This transitional behavior
in the field ionization shows regular dependence on the
principal quantum number n, thus indicating that this
behavior is quite general and applicable to a wide range
of higher-lying Rydberg states. Since the differences inthe field ionization values were found to be large enough,
i.e. 300 % for the 111 p3/2and 111 s1/2states, it is possi-
ble to stringently select a low- ℓstate from the close-lying
states by field ionization. From these characteristic be-
haviors, it is strongly suggested that the coherence in
the time evolution under the pulsed electric field plays
decisive role to the behavior of the field ionization.
The experimental setup is shown in Fig. 1. Thermal
Rb atoms in the ground-state atomic beam are passed
through a laser excitation region and then the field ion-
ization region, which are about 40 mm apart each other.
The whole volume of the excitation and the field ion-
ization regions is surrounded with three pairs of planer
copper electrodes to compensate the stray field in three
axes and also to apply the pulsed electric field for the
ionization. The selective field ionization (sfi) electrodes
consist of two parallel plates of 120 mm length, in one of
which a fine copper-mesh grid was incorporated into the
area of 20 ×20 mm2, thus allowing to pass and detect the
field ionized electrons with a channel electron multiplier.
The sfi electrodes and the laser interaction region were
attached to a cold finger in a cryostat, thus the tempera-
ture can be varied from room temperature down to lower
temperature with liquid N 2and He.
Two-step cw-laser excitation was adopted to excite the
Rydberg njstates from the 5 s1/2ground state of85Rb
through the 5 p3/2second excited state. A diode laser
(780 nm for the first step) and a dye laser of coumarin
102 excited by a Kr ion-laser (479 nm for the second step)
were used. The main reason to use the cw lasers to ex-
cite the Rydberg states instead of the usually adopted
pulsed lasers is that we want to use this field ionization
scheme for the selective ionization of highly excited Ry-
dberg states in a continuous mode as discussed later.
The pulse shape applied for the field ionization is
shown also in Fig. 1. The pulse sequence was produced
with a waveform generator NI5411 and the field ioniza-
tion signals were detected and analyzed with the Lab-
VIEW data acquisition system on a pc computer. Rep-
etition rate of the pulse was kept to 5 kHz so that the
detection efficiency of the Rydberg states is optimum for
the atoms with velocity of 350 m/s [4]. The ionization
mainly occurs at the steep rise of the pulse during the
timetf, but the peak field can be kept for a time th
(holding time) to ionize also the states with longer life
time than tfunder the electric field. This point will be
discussed later.

FIG. 1. Experimental setup for investigating the time evo-
lution and the field ionization process under the pulsed elec -
tric field in high slew rate regime. Also shown is the pulse
shape of the applied electric field.
During the course of the present experiment, stray field
of∼80 mV/cm was found to appear in the interaction
region. By applying suitable compensation potentials in
three axes, the stray field was reduced to less than 10
mV/cm. In this stray field, the pstate with nless than
120 is well separated from the adjacent manifold levels.
The effect of the mixing of the low- ℓstates to the neigh-
boring levels on the field ionization behavior is discussed
later.
In Fig. 2 shown are field ionization spectra of 111 s1/2
and 111 p3/2states [5] as a function of the applied electric
fieldF=vf/l(lis the distance of the sfi electrode),
which were measured by varying the slew rate S=F/tf.
Here the slow component of the pulsed field vswas set
to zero.
In these spectra, only one prominent peak was found as
the threshold electric field. Remarkably the sfi field value
at the peak changes to a smaller value with increasing
slew rate at a particular slew rate. Moreover the sfi fields
for the sandpstates are quite different from each other
at the same slew rate. For example, the electric field
necessary to ionize the 111 p3/2state at the slew rate of
11 V/(cm ·µs) is 1.7 V/cm, while the value is 5.2 V/cm
for the 111 s1/2state, more than 300 % difference (see the
spectrum din Fig.2).
It should also be noted here that the transitional be-
havior in the 109 dstate (not shown in Fig. 2 to avoid
complexity) is the same as in the s1/2state. This means
that the transitional behavior depends on the position of
the states relative to the adjacent manifold: As seen from
the relevant Stark energy-field diagramin in Fig. 3, the
upper −positioned [6]pstate shows different transitional
behavior from the lower −positioned sanddstates.
In Fig.4 shown is the effective principal-quantum-
number n∗dependence of the critical slew rate Scand the
ionization electric fields Fcfor the sandpstates. Herethe critical slew rate Scis defined as the value at which
the transition of the sfi field just starts to a new value.
Also the sfi field corresponds to the peak position of the
ionization signal. These values vary quite regularly with
n∗ranging from 95 to 147; approximately Fc∝(n∗)−4.0
for both the pandsstates, while Sc∝(n∗)−4.0for the
pstate and Sc∝(n∗)−2.8for the sstate.
These results indicate that this transitional behavior
is quite general for a wide range of nand thus can be
applicable to selectively ionize the sandpstates for a
wide range of higher excited states. The difference in
the ionization field is ∼300 % for the sandpstates,
quite large compared to the case of adiabatic transition
in which the difference would be only 5 % for the states
atn∼110.

FIG. 2. Typical field ionization spectra for the 111 s1/2and
111p3/2states measured by varying the slew rate, values of
which are shown at the right side of each spectra. The spectra
for the repspective states ( sandp) taken separately were su-
perposed upon each other in these spectra. Solid and dashed
lines are the fitted results with a Gaussian plus linear back-
ground.
Related to the selectivity in the Rydberg states, it
should be noted that there observed some sfi signals at
the lower field region (1.0 ∼2.4 V/cm) in the sfi spec-
trum of sstate: The signal peak at this portion changed
discretely with slew rate as in the same manner as of
thepstate. This part of signal counts is due to the ef-
fect of blackbody radiations which induce the transition
from the initial sstate to the pstate. In fact the counts
at this portion measured by varying the temperature of
the excitation-detection region from 120 K to 40 K was
found to depend linearly on the temperature as expected.
The observed transition rate to the pstate is in roughly
agreement in its absolute values and in good agreement in
its temperature dependence with the theoretical predic-
tions. This agreement indicates also that the selectivity
of the excited states with the field ionization method in
the pulsed electric field regime is quite good even at such
2highly excited region. The detailed discussion on the sto
ptransitions and the effect of blackbody radiations will
be reported elsewhere.
The above results were all obtained without the slow
component vsof the pulsed field. Switching on this value,
the transitional behavior of the sstate remains the same,
while that of the pstate changes drastically as in the fol-
lowing: When the applied slow component field with its
slew rate less than 1 mV/(cm ·µs) exceeds the first anti-
crossing field ( ∼75 mV/cm for the 111 p3/2state, see
Fig. 3), the transitional behavior changes abruptly, be-
coming the same as of the sstate. This means that once
the first anti-crossing is traversed adiabatically and the
state is mixed with the adjacent manifold levels, then the
following sfi behavior for the pstate under the high slew
rate regime changes completely, resulting no difference in
their behavior between the states of opposite positions to
the adjacent manifold.
These experimental results, especially the transitional
behavior, are in general not in agreement with simple
predictions from the incoherent contributions of adia-
batic and non-adiabatic transition processes: The exper-
imental sfi spectra have only one prominent peak and
this peak field does neither correspond exactly to the ex-
pected position from the purely adiabatic (paths 2 or 3
in Fig. 3), nor diabatic transitions (paths 1 or 4) lead-
ing to the reddest or bluest trajectory in the adjacent
manifold; the expected fields for these paths (1 to 4)
inn= 108 (corresponding to the adjacent manifold of
111sand 111 pstates from the quantum defect values in
Rb) are 1.8, 2.4, 2.4, and 4.2 V/cm respectively, which
should be compared to the observed field values of 1.7
and 5.2 V/cm for the pandsstates, respectively. More
importantly, these spectra show very clear slew rate de-
pendence as described above which can not be explained
from a simple incoherent process.

plicitely shown for simplicity. The arrows 1 to 4 indicate th e

Recently Harmin [2] examined coherent time evolu-
tion on a grid of Landau-Zener anti-crossing under a
linear ramped electric field in which each manifold lev-els are treated as linear in time, parallel, and equally
spaced and infinite number. The time development of
an initially populated state is then governed by two level
Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions at avoided crossings and
adiabatic evolution between them. The key parameters
in this model study are 1)the LZ transition probabilities
Dfor making a non-adiabatic transition process at the
anti-crossing traversals and 2) the dynamical phase unit
ϕ. The phase unit ϕis the area covered by the pair of the
adjacent up- and down-going levels [2]. The overall dif-
ference in phase advance ∆Φ for two paths from zero to
the ionization field is equal to the sum of the phase units
ϕin the whole area covered by the two paths. In the
actual Stark energy-field grid system, the phase units ϕi
are not a constant but vary with respective anti-crossings.
These parameters Dandϕare estimated approximately
byD= [exp( −π˜µ2ϕ)]2, ϕ∼(3˙Fn10)−1, where ˜ µis an
average low- ℓquantum defect and ˙Fis the slew rate of
the applied electric field F.
The probability Dincreases monotonically with in-
creasing slew rate, while the overall difference in phase
advance ∆Φ of the state wave function through the grid is
effective in modulo 2 πand strongly affects the coherent
nature of the process through the interference between
many states populated along the way of traversals in the
applied electric field [2].
In the present experimental setup with slew rate ∼20
V/(cm ·µs) atn∼100, the probability of non-adiabatic
transition Dis quite high, reaching ∼99.8% from the
above estimation so that our case corresponds to the non-
adiabatic limit in Harmin’s treatment in a good approx-
imation.

FIG. 4. Dependence of the selective field ionization (sfi)
value and the critical slew rate on the effective princi-
pal-quantum-number n∗in Rb Rydberg states. Discrete
two values of the sfi field observed and their correspond-
ing slew rates are plotted together with the fitted lines of
n-dependence. The number to each plot is the coefficient α
in the fitting of ( n∗)−αdependence with the estimated error
of±0.2.
Taking into account the quantum defect values of
3lowℓstates, estimated phase unit ϕvaries from 10−2
to 10−3with increasing electric field. The number of
avoided crossings traversed between zero field and the
field ionization region in Rb is estimated to be Nblue∼
900/parenleftbign
100/parenrightbig2, Nred∼1150/parenleftbign
100/parenrightbig2for the up- (bluest) and
down- (reddest) going trajectories, respectively. At the
region of n∼110, this number of anti-crossing traver-
sals suggests that the phase advance is over 2 πat some
field value. When this resonance condition is fulfilled,
the constructive interference between the many number
of Stark states along the advance of the pulsed electric
field may result in one prominent peak in the sfi field. In
Harmin’s analysis [2], the population of the states under
the electric field was found to make a series of resonances
in a form of lanes along the up- or down-going directions
of the initially excited state at zero field.
This general feature in the non-adiabatic limit seems
to be satisfied experimentally, since a discrete sequence
of sfi threshold field was found, depending on the slew
rate. However there is a significant difference in the ex-
perimental observations compared to the model calcula-
tion in that the observed sfi field values for both of the s
andpstates decrease with increasing slew rate. Contrary
to this observation, the model calculation predicts that
with increasing slew rate, the most populated state ap-
proaches to the limiting trajectory in the manifold, i.e.
to the bluest state for the up-going initial state or the
reddest state for the down-going initial state, depending
on the direction (up- or down-going) of the initial state.
This suggests thus that the sfi threshold field for the s
anddstates in Rb should increase with increasing slew
rate, in disagreement with the experimental results.
Finally we note that the sfi spectra observed with the
holding time thextended up to 500 µs showed no dis-
tinguishable difference from those taken with the short
holding time of 1 µs, indicating all the states ionized have
decay lifetime shorter than 1 µs in the electric field. Also
we observed no significant sfi-signals over 10 V/cm in
the spectra measured. The decay rate of the blue states
in the electric field by the tunneling process, estimated
from the hydrogenic approximation, is much higher than
2×103s−1. Therefore the ionization process for the states
along the blue lines is not due to the tunneling pro-
cess but of autoionization-like one due to their mixing
to the red continuum, even though such coupling becom-
ing weaker as nincreases [1].
In conclusion, we observed for the first time a dis-
crete transition of the threshold sfi field with slew rate in
the highly excited Rydberg states in Rb, the behavior of
which depends also on the position of the low ℓstates rel-
ative to the adjacent manifold. The experimental results
strongly suggest that the coherent interference effect in
the time evolution on the grid of anti-crossings under the
pulsed electric field plays decisive role for the occurrence
of such transitional behavior.
The transitional behavior observed here brings us a
new powerful method to selectively field-ionize the lowℓstates from the many close-lying states, thus opening
a new way to apply the highly excited Rydberg states
to fundamental physics research. One of the example
of such applications is to search for dark matter axions
with a Rydberg-atom cavity detector [7]. In this kind of
search experiment, it is essential to do the experiment in
a continuous way so as to keep the detection efficiency as
high as possible. It is thus inevitable to use cw lasers to
excite the Rydberg atoms continuously which is the main
reason for developing the present experimental setup.

Abstract
Antoniadis, Mazur and Mottola ( AMM) two years ago computed t he intrinsic Hausdorff dimension of
spacetime at the infrared fixed point of the quantum conforma l factor in 4 DGravity. The fractal dimen-
sion was determined by the coefficient of the Gauss-Bonnet top ological term associated with the conformal
gravitational anomaly and was found to be greater than 4. It i s explicitly shown how one can relate the
value of the Hausdorff dimension computed by AMM to the univer sal dimensional fluctuation of spacetime
ǫgiven by φ3/2, where φis the Golden Mean 0 .618... Based on the infrared scaling limit of the theory and
using recent Renormalization Group arguments by El Naschie , we conjecture that the unknown coefficient
Q2, associated with the four dimensional gravitational confo rmal anomaly, could be precisely equal to the
inverse fine structure constant values ranging between 137 .036 and 137 .081. Our results generate decimal
digits up to any arbitrary number.
The Conformal Anomaly and Fractal Spacetime at Large Scales
Antoniadis, Mazur and Mottola [1] more than two years ago com puted the intrinsic Hausdorff dimension
of spacetime at the infrared fixed point of the quantum confor mal factor in 4 DGravity. The fractal dimension
was determined by the coefficient of the Gauss-Bonnet topological term associated with the conformal
anomaly : trace anomaly and was found to be greater than 4. They also discussed a plaus ible physical
mechanism for the screening of the cosmological constant at very large distances in full agreeemnt with
Nottale’s work [7] and other results obtained by the present author and collaborators [6].
The Hausdorff dimension for spacetime is related to the geode sic distance l(x, x′) between points x, x′
and the volume Vlenclosed by the spherical surface radius equal to l. The scaling relation between the two
isVl∼ldH. For large l, this scaling relation defines the intrinsic dimension dHof the space.
In 2Dquantum gravity [2,3] the most appropriate way to calculate thedHis by the heat kernel methods
associated with the Laplacian operator DµDµand the proper time s:
K2(x, x′;s, g) =< x|e−sDµDµ|x′> . (1)
The heat kernel K2has a short distance expansion whose anomalous scaling beha viour can be calculated
based on the standard techniques pioneered by B. de Witt in th e sixties. The average geodesic length-squared

that there is a universal dimensional fluctuation in Nature given in terms of the Golde n Mean by :

2= (0.618−1

φ⇒φ=√

2= 0.618....(12)
and that the inverse of the fine structure constant [4] , rangi ng between 137 .036...and 137 .081.., can be
thought of as an internal dimension or a central charge, using the language of Irrational Conformal field
Theory, as Eddington envision long ago. This line of reasoni ng is nothing but following the path chartered
by Einstein himself on the geometrization of allphysics, with the new ingredient that we believe that Nature
isfractal at its core.
A simple numerical calculation shows that by simply setting Q2= 137 .036....inside the basic equation
(11) yields automatically nothing more, nothing else but 4+ ǫfor the Hausdorff dimension of fractal spacetime
, where ǫis the universal dimensional fluctuation given by φ3/2 :

137.036= 4.11856∼4 +φ3

Is this a numerical concidence ordesign ????
El Naschie [4] has presented very convincing arguments rega rding the unfication of gravity with the
electroweak and strong forces, based on Renormalization Gr oup Arguments, that there is a very deep and
explicit connection bewteen Nottale’s Scale Relativity [7 ] , Irrational Conformal Field theory, El Naschie’s
Cantorian-Fractal spacetime and the New Extended Scale Rel ativity formulated by the author [5], and
that the inverse fine structure constant ( an internal dimens ion or charge ) plays a fundamental role in
determining the scaling regimes of the electroweak and stro ng interation , and the hierarchy of the 16 ,6
internal dimensions, present in the Heterotic string theor y and its compactifications , from 26 →10→4 .
Argyris et al [8] have recently shown how a fractalization of spacetime may be an intrinsic property of all
processes in Nature, from the microworld to cosmos, having w ell defined signatures in Cosmic Strings and
in the phenomenon of Spontaneous Symmetry breaking .

Contact: epaterni@epm.net.co Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to present an overview of the need of a new way
of coping the fundamental equations of physics, see the references. Our mainaim is to build a new metrics in which both time and space are included, but insome sort of minkowskian union of the two and in such a way that that unionpreserves an independent reality, and where energy, can be taken as the real
fundamental issue of that metrics, instead of the particle concept. A departure
from General Theory of Relativity is clear, but then the BUS concept behavesitself as a fundamental string.
Introduction
We are not interested from the beginning in the motion of a particular point in
space. Our main aim is to build a new metrics in which both time and space
are included, but in some sort of minkowskian union of the two and in such away that that union preserves an independent reality, and where energy can betaken as the real fundamental issue of that metrics.
The particle point of view in physics is true but partial. And it is this
partialness the one we are trying to avoid from the beginning and as so
gravitation will not occupy an exceptional position with regard to the other
forces, particularly the electromagnetic forces , but energy as a conceptual
starting point will be the one that will occupy an exceptional epistemologicalposition in our constructs.
Being our starting point an integral one we will relate that problem with the
need to frame in a unified conceptual scheme the radical duality of theUniverse expressed, in general, in the following dyads:2- the particle and the wave problem expressed dramatically in physics as the
momentum and position electron problem of Quantum Mechanics.
- the relation between the whole or form and the part, the so-called
generalization-specialization problem
- the qualitative aspects of reality and its quantitative ones
- the relation between rotational movement and linear movement being the
latter a special case of the former
- the relation between time and space and the fact they are always in a
unified framework or sphere of reality, the so-called space time continuum.
- The relation between two poles in a magnetic field and the fact each one of
them cannot be isolated makes the magnetic field a very fundamental onewhere oneness, openness and wholeness are main features.
- And finally the relation of the signifier and the signified in case of the
linguistic sign and as an example that transcends physics but that has the
same nature or dynamic pattern.
A Symbol for differentiating
These two different orders of reality must be clearly differentiated, that is,
separated, so to speak, in different boxes, just as apples and oranges. And for
this we need a special symbol of differentiation, but also of another one that
integrates them both in a unified framework, having then a Basic UnitSystem in which both components are integrated. This Bus concept is then awhole/part entity or a holon as defined by Ken Wilber[6], and as so with it anew holonic metrics emerges. The symbol for separation was discovered byCardano in 1545, when trying to solve the simple algebraic equation
x² +1 = 0
and the symbol for its integration or the interdependence of the two state
variables was found by Leonard Euler in 1745 when studying infinite series.
J(θ)
e = Cos( θ) + J*Sin( θ) (1)3Apparently the cos and sin functions seem to be the same mathematical
functions, except by the fact they differ by 90 degrees. But they do indeed aredifferent from each other not only by that fact -which is some way to escapefrom unidimensionality- but also by the way they change their sign by
changing their angle θ, so
Cos(θ) = Cos(-θ)
Sin(θ) = -Sin(θ)
having this second one two solutions, the plus and minus sign of the square
root of minus one problem. We can say then that the first component of ER isnondual, and the second one is dual. The first one has to do with the whole,the second one with the part or a binary logic. The first one with a geometricor just a graphical representation and the second one with its correspondingalgebraic or mathematical representation. The first one with the dynamic
nature or time and the second one with space.
From the physical point of view we need a metrics where we have two state
variables, the well-known S and T variables, one related with space, and theother one, the dynamic part of reality, related with time. We will replace themthough by E and R, because we will use S for representing the whole physicalreality or what Minkowski named the quadratic differential expression, which
is an invariant or else it represents the same nature of reality, physical reality
in this case. In this sense reality is independent from the observer or its frameof references and space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away
into mere shadows as Minkowski put it in his classical paper Space and
Time[7]. We have then a fifth sphere of reality as an intermediate domainbetween the observer and the object that we have named the sphere of Form,
where reality can be represented not as something relative but as a new
metrics in which the laws of nature hold good independently of the system ofreference as the holon concept is a Basic Unit System that preserves theisomorphic properties of all systems.
A New Sphere of Reality and the Complex Plane
The introduction of this sphere of reality is necessary both from the point of
view of Euler Relation where we have the complex plane by just assigning θ a
value of 90 degrees, and from the point of view of the need of a metrics with4which we can represent the space time continuum so we will have a new
differential quadratic element defined as:
J( θ)
DS = Abs(DS)* e (2)
that can be represented in rectangular coordinates as
DS = d E + J* d R (2)
that gives us according to the Pythagorean Theorem
DS² = d E² - d R² (3)
where d R² = d x² +d y² + d z²and it is this integral space time mathematical representation the one that
permits us to find again all the fundamental equations of physics, including
the well-known Schrödinger Wave Equation[1,2,3,4,5]. With this new concept
of unit in which the part and the whole are included, we have defined a newmetrics with which reality can be represented without the reductionisticdrawback, because the Uncertainty Principle is included. But on the other sidethe concept of dimension acquires its real connotation associated with the fourdimensional space time continuum, where for having closed system andobjects we need to solve (2) or (3), that is, we need to find laws or relations
between the two main component of the BUS concept. And for this we need to
consider not only the observed manifestation of that entity represented by the
5BUS, associated in some cases with a clear graphical representation, but also
with the chance it has a corresponding and almost exact mathematicalrepresentation, such as in a planet, where on the one side we have an ellipseand on the other we have a corresponding equation for it. In this case we havea closed system with its state completely determined, and when this is the casewe can make predictions, we can make measurements.
The main departure of this new approach in regard to the well-known
approach due to Einstein where (3) or the “linear element” was generalized as
DS ² = Σ Gij dXi*dXj
is precisely to reduce the whole problem to find 10 functions Gij according to
the rules of Tensor Analysis, so to speak, to just an analytical problem, not a
geometric problem anymore, as geometry was then reduced to algebra. So
Einstein wrote “Thus, according to the general theory of relativity, gravitationoccupies an exceptional position with regard to other forces, particularly theelectromagnetic forces, since the ten functions represent the gravitational fieldat the same time define the metrical properties of the space measured..” If weassimilate each Gij to a dimension, mathematical dimension, we will need toposit 10 dimensions to solve the whole problem, and in spite those additional
dimensions have no physical meaning at all.
Expression (2) is an infinitesimal rotating vector or pointer or else a tiny loop
or string vibrating at certain frequency, but it can also vibrate at other modesor frequencies, but in the complex plane. The fact that with it we can deducethe Schrödinger Wave Equation takes us to think that the main and
fundamental concept behind everything physical is energy, and defined like a
frequency multiplied by Planck’s constant h, and not precisely the particleconcept, even though the latter is a derived one, and an electron can be seenjust as a whirlpool of energy.
The fact that with (2) and (3) we can find all the fundamental equations of
physics as is shown in the references, makes it possible for us to have ways to
express the same general laws of nature or dynamic patterns from a unified
conceptual point of view, which was the central claim of the systemssciences, so the unity of science is granted not by the reduction of all sciencesto physics but by those isomorphic regularities[5] of the different levels ofreality, including the physiosphere or the so-called four dimensional spacetime continuum and the biosphere too as in that new domain we have named6the domain of form and represented by the complex plane, life can be defined
as an animated form.
The problem of two arrows of time and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
is associated with the definition of open systems, and in this case that problemis overcome because with (2) we have found the equations of the pendulum,
a truly open system.
The Principle of Synergy
The production of electrical energy or Alternating Current is a real example of
what I have called the application of the principle of synergy. In thatproduction we have a threefold physical magnetic structure rotating because of
the hydraulic turbines and at the end, what we have is a rotating magnetic field
that by Maxwell Laws induces in each one of the terminals of that threefoldstructure the three phase AC we use daily. Mathematically we can representthis situation by considering three dyads of space and time vectors, that is,
J( θ) J(wt)
A = Abs(A)* e + Abs(A)* e
J( θ+120) J(wt)
A = Abs(A)* e + Abs(A)* e
J( θ+240) J(wt)
A = Abs(A)* e + Abs(A)* e
by using ER we decompose each one of the above equations in sin and cos,
and after summing them up we finally obtain that the three space componentsbecome null, so we have just a dynamic expression:
J(wt)
A = Abs(A’)* e
By mathematical inevitability we can represent that sum as in the figure7What we have here is just a sum 1-2-3 that is greater than the sum of its parts
and what this means is that we have an open system that is interchangingenergy with the environment, so in this sense this is something practical, asthe extra that can be in the whole that is not in the parts comes from the
environment, from the field concept as a rotating entity and which is a
complete whole by itself just in case of the magnetic field, a reason why itseems so fundamental in the universe.
Synergy is today a fashionable catchword, a word we hear almost everyday in
the business environment and it means precisely that sum that is greater than
the sum of its parts. In this sense it is synergy with the help of the field
concept and the Basic Unit System or Holon concept, the one that permits usto define
Entropy = f (-Synergy)so that problem of the two time arrows is not our problem anymore, and
Entropy is just the result of the not application of that principle of synergy. If
we apply this principle we can have emergent states, or movements as that ofthe pendulum that seemed to violate the infamous Second Law of
8Thermodynamics. Before finishing we want to point out some of the main
features of this new metrics
- We do not need to use Tensor Analysis whose main disadvantage being its
abstraction from the point of view of physical representation
- We do not need then to introduce additional strange dimensions, with no
physical meaning at all
- A Basic Unit System by definition is a rotating entity but in the complex
plane and as such it behaves like a string
- The complex representation of the BUS concept reduces complexity by
minus one degree[5]
- We have with the BUS concept a new way of presenting the Uncertainty
Principle [1,5]
- We have a new way of finding the fundamental equations of physics in the
line of reasoning of that claim put by the systems sciences
- We have then a new holonic worldview by introducing an intermediate
level of reality between the observer and the object that definitely permitsus to exorcise the ghost of consciousness from physics.

ArXiv reference: http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/ physics/0010074 Transverse redshift effects without special relativity
Eric Baird (eric_baird@compuserve.com)
Transverse redshift effects are sometimes presented as being unique to special relativity
(the "transverse Doppler effect"). We argue that if the detector is aim ed at 90 degrees in
the laboratory frame, most theories will predict a redshifted frequency at the detector,
although these predictions can be concealed by specifying that angles should be defined
in a frame other than the laboratory frame. These redshifts are often stronger than
special relativity's predictions. We list some of the situations in which lab -transverse
redshifts would be expected.
1. Introduction
According to Einstein’s special theory, light -
signals coming from an object moving in the
laborato ry frame should have an increased
wavelength when they arrive at a transversely -
aimed lab -frame detector [1]. These “transverse
redshifts” are sometimes presented as being a
unique feature of special relativity,
e.g. Rosser 1964:
“… According to the theory of special relativity, if a
beam of atoms which is emitting light is observed in a
direction which according to the observer is at right
angles to the direction of relative motion, then the
frequency of the light should differ from the
frequency the lig ht would have if the source were at
rest relative to the observer. This is the transverse
Doppler effect. According to the classical ether
theories there should be no change in frequency in
this case. ” [2]
Other reference texts agree that transverse
redshifts should not occur in classical theory
[3][4], but are less specific about how the word
“transverse” should be interpreted.
We show that Rosser’s statement is incorrect,
and that not only are “laboratory -transverse”
redshift predictions common to a ra nge of
models, but that many of these predicted
redshifts are stronger than their “special
relativity” counterparts.
In this paper, we briefly look at and list the lab -
transverse predictions of a number of different
models.
2. “Stationary” and “moving”
aether predictions
“Aberration shift”
If we assume that light travels throughout space
at c relative to the observed object, aberration
effects cause an observer aiming their detector
at 90° degrees in their own frame to see more
of the “back -side” of the movi ng object, and
can lead to the observer expecting to see a
partial recession redshift [5] (e.g.: Lodge
“… Doppler effect caused by motion of the
observer is … a case of common aberration. ” 1893 [6] “ .. a spurious or apparent Doppler
effect. ” 1909 [7] ).
We can rederive these effects by starting with
special relativity (which “relativises” the
stationary -aether and moving -aether
calculations) and working backwards to find
the original moving -aether predictions.
Non-transverse shift tests
Special relat ivity’s transverse predictions are
sometimes tested experimentally by measuring
the non -transverse (“radial”) frequency shift
relationships, and then analysing the data to
find a residual Lorentz component after first -
order propagation effects have been accounted
for [8]-[14]. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]
The three main Doppler equations for the
apparent frequency f ’ and apparent front -back
depth d’ of a receding or approaching radiating
object [15][16][17], with v as recession
velocity , are:
d’/ d = f ’/ f = ( c-v) / c … (1)
d’/ d = f ’/ f = ( )( )vcvc +−/ … (2)
d’/ d = f ’/ f = c / (c+v) … (3)
Special relativity’s “relativistic Doppler”
predictions (2) are the root -product average of
the predictions associated with “absolute
aether”s that are i) stationary in the emitter’s
frame (1) and ii) stationary in the observer’s
frame (3) [18].
Any model that generates the first -order
Doppler equation (1) should give a residual
Lorentz -squared redshift when stationary -
aether propagation effects (3) are divided out, a
stronger result than special relativity’s single
residual Lorentz redshift.
In the case of Ives -Stilwell 1938 [8], the mean
position of approach - and recession shifted
spectral lines gives a central position that is not
affected by velocity with (3), and that has
velocity -dependent positional offsets with (1)
and (2). Transverse redshift effects … Eric Baird Sunday , 29 October 2000 5:47 AM page 2 / 2
ArXiv reference: http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/ physics/0010074 Transverse motion
The same relationships should hold for data
taken at other angles in the laboratory frame –
any “special relativity” result should be
interpretable either as a stationary -aether
propagation effect supplemented by a Lorentz
redshift (time -dilation of the moving emitter),
or as a moving -aether propagation shift
supplemented by a Lorentz blueshift (time -
dilation of the moving observer’s reference -
clocks).
Where the special theory predicts a lab -
transverse Lorentz redshift, an unmodified
“moving -aether” model should (again) predict
a Lorentz -squared la b-transverse redshift
(Note: all viewing angles must be specified in
a particular frame to avoid aberration issues,
otherwise this approach will fail [18] ).
3. Emitter -theory
If we are only observing a single object, the
simplest predictions for a “ballistic light -
corpuscle” model superimposed on flat
spacetime should coincide with the predictions
for an absolute aether moving with the object
(lab-transverse Lorentz -squared redshift).
4. Dragged -light models
If light is completely dragged by a particle -
cloud or object, we should again expect the
most extreme scenario (where dragging is
effectively absolute over extended regions of
space), to be equivalent to a “moving aether”
model, giving us a Lorentz -squared lab -
transverse redshift.
Dragged -light models producing weaker
dragging effects (or with more “democratic”
dragging characteristics) should produce
correspondingly weaker lab -transverse
frequency changes.
5. Relativistic calculations using
the emitter -theory shift equation
In another paper, we have derived the
relativistic aberration and wavelength -changes
associated with (1), (2) and (3) [19]. In that
exercise, the relativistic application of the
emitter -theory equation is once again
associated with a Lorentz -squared “lab -
transverse” redshift prediction.
In a round -trip version of the experiment
(where a signal is aimed and the reflection
received at 90° in the same frame), (1) gives a
double Lorentz redshift and special relativity
gives a null result [19]. 6. Gravitational redshifts
Verifications of general relativity’s gravity -
shift predictions are sometimes used as indirect
supporting evidence in favour of the special
theory.
The prediction that light from high -gravity stars
should be seen to be spectrally shifted was
made by John Michell in 1783, and again by
Einstein in 1910 [20]. If we calculate the
strength of the effect by dropping an object
across a gravitational gradient and using
Doppler equation (1) to calcu late its final
motion shift (Einstein [21], MTW [22] §7.2),
we get a one -way gravity -shift prediction of
ΔE=~gh/c2 (good Earth -surface
approximation), and ΔE=2gh/c2 for round -trip
shifts (exact relationship) [23].
Verifications of these relationships are often
considered to be verifications of general
relativity [24][25], although they do not depend
on general relativity’s mathematics, special
relativity’s frequency -shift relationships, or the
principle of relativity.
7. Centrifugal redshifts
The equivalence pri nciple requires that
centrifugal redshifts must be calculable from
gravitational principles [26], because of the
apparent outward gravitational field seen in the
rotating frame (the “Coriolis field” [27]).
If we attach two clocks to the centre and to the
rim of a rotating disc, observers in the disc’s
rotating frame are entitled to claim that the disc
is immersed in a effective gravitational field
that pulls objects away from the rotation axis.
We can then apply the general arguments given
in Einstein’s 1911 gravity -shift paper for
signals passed through this field [21] to argue
that the perimeter clock must run more slowly
than the central clock.
These calculations do not require special
relativity.
Huyghens’ principle and
gravitation
If two light -clocks do have a genuine
measurable difference in clock -rate, we can
apply Huyghens’ principle to the apparent
lightspeed differential between the two regions
and predict a deflection of lightrays towards the
slower cloc k [21][28]. By this argument, an
effective gravitational field should be present in
any experiment producing physical clock -rate
differences. Transverse redshift effects … Eric Baird Sunday , 29 October 2000 5:47 AM page 3 / 3
ArXiv reference: http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/ physics/0010074 8. Other rotating -body problems
Similar considerations apply to the Hafele -
Keating experiment [29][30] and other
experiments involving the comparison of rates
of clocks orbiting with and against the earth’s
rotation ( e.g. GPS and other satellite -based
systems [31] §3 pp.54 -64).
If a clock -rate difference is large enough to be
deemed “significant”, then the geometrical
deviation from flat spacetime should be
considered to be equally ”significant” (since the
former should be calculable from the latter).
Einstein’s equatorial clocks
The issue of gravitational -equivalence is nicely
illustrated by the example in section 4 of the
“electrodynamics” paper, in which Einstein
suggests that a clock at the earth’s equator
should tick more slowly than one at the pole.
If we are using sea -level clocks, these
gravitational effects conspire to make the effect
disappear [32] – if a sea -level clock -rate
differential is associated with a gravitational
gradient, the earth’s oceans should flow
“downhill” across this time -dilation gradient
towards the equator, only reaching equilibrium
when all parts of the ocean surface have the
same clock rate (the resulting equatorial bulge
should, of course, also be calculable from more
conventional “centrifugal force” arguments).
More complex problems
Although it is useful to be able to calculate
clock -lags by as suming flat spacetime and
applying a Lorentz correction, the success of
this approach over small regions does not mean
that these are intrinsically flat -space problems
(cartographers once used similar equations to
compensate for the Earth’s curvature, but their
success did not prove that the Earth’s surface
“really was” flat). We would suggest that where
“flat” and “gravitational” arguments disagree,
the second approach may have greater validity.
The calculation of route -dependent
gravitational effects fr om apparent clock rate
differences is a much more complex subject,
[33][34] and is beyond the scope of this paper.
9. Thermal redshifts
Similar arguments can be applied to the case of
the thermal second order Doppler effect in Fe57
[25][35]. If the Fe57 atoms have “significant”
velocities while locked into a “stationary”
crystal lattice, then they must also be
continually undergoing “significant”
accelerations. 10. Muon lifetimes
“Muon -decay” experiments are widely cited in
textbooks as supporting evidence of special
relativity’s time -dilation predictions [36].
C.M. Will [31] Appendix: pp.245 -257:
“But the [upper atmospheric] muon is so
unstable that it would decay long before
reaching sea level … if it weren’t for the
time dilation of special relativity, which
increases its lifetime as a consequence of its
high velocity. ”
This statement about the time -dilated muon
depends on the assumption that the speed of
light is “really” fixed in the observer’s frame –
but since the special theory ought to predict the
same outcome when we assume that lightspeed
is fixed in the object’s frame, we are also
entitled to claim, with equal validity, that the
muon’s ageing rate is anomalously fast, and
that (with a fixed lightspeed in the muon frame)
the muon would actually penetrate further , if is
was not for the time -compaction effect of
special relativity!
The “muon” statement obviously involves a
certain amount of interpretation being applied
to the experimental data. If we return for a
moment to Newtonian mechanics, the muon’s
decay position x for a given Newtonian rest
mass m, particle lifetime t and momentum p, is
(with v=p/m) x = vt = pt/m.
Calculating the equivalent decay point under
special relativity with x’ = vSRt’, we have a
smaller velocity value vSR =p/mγSR [37] and a
larger (time -dilated) decay time t’=t γSR , with
the two Lorentz factors cancelling ( x’=x). In
this particular calculation, the effect of the
time-dilation path -lengthe ning effect is to
compensate for the path -contraction due to
special relativity’s reduced nominal velocity
values, so that the muon’s decay position is as
it would have been under Newtonian
mechanics.
11. “SR-similar” aether models
Although this paper is intended to be about
recognisably “non -SR” models, we should also
mention that there are a range of “Lorentzian”
aether models that also incorporate time -
dilation effects (see e.g. [38]-[40] and many
articles in dissident journals). Many of these
models only predict small or non -existent
deviations from special relativity. Where they
agree exactly, the special theory is usually
assumed to be preferable because of its reduced
number of physical assumptions. 39 40 41 42
Transverse redshift effects … Eric Baird Sunday , 29 October 2000 5:47 AM page 4 / 4
ArXiv reference: http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/ physics/0010074 12. “Physical” and “interpreted”
time dilations
The distinction between “physically -verifiable”
time dilation effects and “interpreted” time
dilation effects is not always obvious.
In the case of “moving aether” calculations, the
“lab-transverse red shift” result is usually
overlooked, possibly because it seems
unreasonable that a transverse redshift could be
detected if the emitter was not “really” ageing
more slowly. Since a rectilinearly -moving
point -particle only has transverse motion with
respect to a point -observer for a vanishingly
short period of time, these shifts do not have to
be “sustainable”, and do not have to be
associated with “real” clock -rate differences.
In the “muon” case, time -dilation seems to be
an “interpreted” property, whose reality
depends on the statement that the speed of light
is “really” locked to the observer’s own frame
– this statement cannot be physically verified
without breaking the principle of relativity.
In the case of a relativistic model based on the
moving -aether equations (e.g. this author
[33][34]), time dilation is more difficult to pin
down, as this class of model seems to require a
non-Euclidean spacetime in which relative
ageing rates can be route -dependent.
General Summary:
In general:
a) We can test the correctness of the special
theory’s shift equations, but cannot isolate
an unambiguous physical difference in
clock rates unless the experiment involves
gravitation or acceleration.
In the absence of these effects, the “time -
dilation” results are interpretative.
b) If two physical light -clocks do have a
verifiable difference in clock rate, then
Huyghens’ principle applied to this
apparent lightspeed differential shoul d give
us a description of a gravitational gradient
between the two clocks, and the problem
can be treated as a gravitational exercise
without involving special relativity.
Exception - “twins” problem
The one possible exception to this rule seems
to be the original version of the infamous
“twin,” “astronaut,” or “clock” problem ( [43]
[44], [37] §4.6 pp.125 -126), where a traveller
coasts away from their twin at a constant v m/s,
experiences a sudden abrupt accele ration that
reverses their course, and then coasts back to
their twin’s position at a constant speed of
-v m/s.
In special relativity’s analysis of the problem,
the returning twin shows a final clock -lag equal
to the total nominal time -dilation effect
accumulated during the constant -velocity
stages of its journey. It is difficult to model this
outcome gravitationally, since the application
of gravitational effects to signals belonging to
the slow astronaut’s coasting stages can
undermine the special the ory’s calculations
[45][46]. If we assume that the sudden
acceleration of the traveller produces a shift -
inducing gravitational field effect, the
characteristics of this abruptly -introduced field
are not straightforward [47]. The situation is
also difficult to test experimentally.
The favoured GR approach to the problem
seems to be to amend the experiment so that the
traveller does not coast, but experiences a
constant acceleration throughout the journey
(MTW [22] §6.2-6.6 pp.166 -176.).
This, of course, brings us back to a situation
where all of the final measurable clock -
difference is accumulated while the object is
accelerating.

14. CONCLUSIONS
A small amount of investigation shows that
transverse redshifts (where “transverse” means
“transverse in the laboratory frame”) do seem
to appear in most models – of those considered
here, only one (flat absolute aether stationary in
the observer f rame) is not immediately
associated with a lab -transverse redshift
prediction.
Although it might be considered convenient to
dismiss many of these redshift predictions by
specifying that the “transverse” detector should
be aimed at an angle other than 90° in the
laboratory frame, this introduces an additional
level of interpretation and theory -dependence
into our experiments, and invites confusion
about which sets of predictions apply to which
experiments.
Since some of these redshift predictions belong
to models that predate special relativity and
produce stronger lab-transverse redshifts than
Einstein’s special theory, casual statements that
“transverse redshifts only appear under special
relativity” need to be treated with a certain
amount of trepidation.

The Heats of Dilution. Calorimetry and Van't-Hoff.
I. A. Stepanov
Latvian University, Rainis bulv. 19, Riga, LV-1586, Latvia

Abstract
Earlier it has been found that the re is a big difference between heats of
dilution measured by calorimetry and by the Van't-Hoff equation. In the present
paper a reason for that is proposed. Experimental data for dilution of benzene and
n-hexane in water were used.
1. Introduction
There is a big difference between heats of dilution measured by calorimetry and by the
Van't-Hoff equation. Let’s cite [1]: “Historically, the Van’t-Hoff isochore has frequently been
used as a means of deriving enthalpy change values for reactions of interest from experimental
data gathered at a number of temperatures. ... Detailed review of the data in articles for
reactive systems where the enthalpy change has been determined both by calorimetric
measurement and other temperature-change techniques show that there is often a sizeable
discrepancy between the two values. ... It is possible to show that improvements ininstrumentation and computing power have not overcome earlier difficulties in the estimation
of enthalpy values from data taken at several temperatures. Perusal of literature over the last
three decades shows that many authors have been aware that obtaining enthalpy values by
these techniques is inherently unsatisfactory”. In private communication to the author the
author of [1] wrote: “There are a number of comprehensive collections of enthalpy data,
particularly those authored by R. M. Izatt and J. J. Christensen, which contain all the
thermodynamic data for many systems. Further, many of these systems contain data collected
by calorimetric determination and data from 1/T estimation methods in the same table. As I
examined those it seemed that there was always a consistent difference between the two
methods”.
In the present paper an attempt is made to explain this papadox.
2. Theory
For chemical processes the law of conservation of energy is written in the following
form:
dU=dQ-PdV+
i∑µidNi (1)
where dQ is the heat of reaction, dU is the change in the internal energy, µi are chemical
potentials and dN i are the changes in the number of moles.
In [2-6] it has been shown that the energy balance in the form of (1) for the biggest part
of the chemical reactions is not correct. In the biggest part of the chemical reactions the law of
conservation of energy must have the following form:
dU=dQ+PdV+
i∑µidNi (2)
The Van’t-Hoff equation is the following one :d/dTlnK= ΔH0/RT2(3)
where K is the reaction equilibrium constant and ΔH0 is the enthalpy. According to
thermodynamics , the Van’t-Hoff equation must give the same results as calorimetry because it
is derived from the 1st and the 2nd law of thermodynamics without simplifications. However,
there is a paradox: the heat of chemical reactions, that of dilution of liquids and that of other
chemical processes measured by calorimetry and by the Van’t-Hoff equation differ significantly
[1-6]. The difference is far beyond the error limits. T he reason is that in the derivation of the
Van’t-Hoff equation it is necessary to take into account the law of conservation in the form of
(2), not of (1) [2-6].
If to derive the Van’t-Hoff equation using (2) the result will be the following one:
d/dTlnK= ΔH0*/RT2 (4)
where ΔH0*=ΔQ0+PΔV0.
3. Experimental Check and Discussion
In [7] heats of dilution of benzene and n-hexane in water were given (Table 1). One
sees that ΔH is a few times bigger than the experimental value ΔQ. It is impossible to explain
that by non-ideality of solution. In [7-9] they use K c and Ka in (3) (the constants depending on
the concentrations and on the activities, respectively). It confirms the result [2-6] that in
chemical processes ΔQ is not equal to ΔH.
From Table 1 it is possible to find the change in the volume ΔV for dilution. For
benzene ΔV≈10-2 and 2⋅10-2 m3/mol, for n-hexane ΔV≈2⋅10-2 m3/mol. ΔV=V2-V1≈V2 because
for both substances V 1<<ΔV. Pay attention that for both substances V 2 is close to the volume
of the ideal gas (2,5 ⋅10-2 m3/mol).Let's analyze a phase transition which is not a chemical reaction [10]
Zn(liq)=Zn(gas) 700<T<1000 K. (5)
lnP=-118366/RT+12,049 (6)
From (6) ΔH0=118,366 kJ/mol. From [11] for T=900 ΔQ=118,31 kJ/mol, for T=800
ΔQ=119,37 kJ/mol. One sees that in this case the usual Van’t-Hoff equation is valid.
The Van’t-Hoff equation (3) was often used for determination of the heat of reaction.
It gives correct results for reactions with ΔV→0. Therefore, it was assumed that for chemical
reactions
ΔQ=ΔH=ΔU+PΔV (7)
However from (1) and (7) it follows
ΔQ=ΔQ+∑µiΔNi (8)
This conclusion is an absurd: one can not neglect the last term in (8). Therefore, the Van’t-
Hoff equation must not give correct results neither for ΔV→0 nor for ΔV≠0. For reactions
with ΔV≠0 this equation gives wrong results [1-6]. The present theory explains this paradox:
in chemical processes (4) must be used.References

This paper is presented in a rather crude state; the text is im perfect and some conclusions are

The similarities between light propagation and wave mechan ics have been pointed out by numer-
ous authors, although a perfect mapping from one system to th e other has never been achieved.
Almeida et al.1showed that near-field light diffraction could be calculate d using the Wigner Dis-

mechanics to paraxial optics and special relativity to wide angle propagation. This process pro-
moted the definition of a coordinate transformation to rende r the relativisticspace homologousto
the optical space. The introduction of a variational princi ple allowed the derivation of relativistic
dynamics in the modified space-time in a process similar to th e derivation of optical propagation
fromFermat’sprinciple.Oneimportantconsequenceisthat each particletravelsthroughmodified

The similarity could be carried further to diffraction phen omena and quantum mechanics. It was
postulated that a particle has an intrinsicfrequency relat ed to its mass and many important results
were derived directly from this statement. More general res ults will probably be feasible in the
future.Almeida,Optical interpretation . . . OSA Annualmeeting/2008 Page 2

3 Diffraction andWignerdistribution function
Almeida et al.1have shown that the high spatial frequencies in the diffract ed spectrum cannot
be propagated and this can even, in some cases, lead to a diffr action limit much lower than the
wavelength;here wedetailthosearguments.

Eqs. (25) and (26) are all that is needed for the evaluation of Fresnel diffraction fields. Consider
the diffraction pattern for a rectangular aperture in one di mension illuminatedby a monocromatic
wave propagating in the zdirection. The field distribution immediately after the ape rture is given
by
ϕ(x,0) = 1 → | x|< l/2,
ϕ(x,0) = 0 → | x| ≥l/2, (27)

Wethen applyEq.(28)to theWDF definitionEq.(20)tofind

Eq. (31) shows that only the moments such that |p|< ncan be propagated.8In fact, if |p|/n=
sinα, with αtheangletheray makes withthe zaxis, It is obviousthat thehighermomentswould
correspond to values of |sinα|>1; these moments don’t propagate and originate evanescent
waves instead,Fig. 2. The net effect on near-field diffracti on is thatthehigh-frequency detail near

4 Special relativity
Special relativitydealswitha 4-dimensionalspace-timee ndowedwitha pseudo-Euclideanmetric
whichcan bewrittenas
ds2=dx2+dy2+dz2−dt2, (34)
where the space-timeis referred to the coordinates (t, x, y, z ). Here theunits were chosen so as to
makec= 1,cbeing thespeed oflight.

ConsideringEqs.(35, 36)andthenewcoordinates themetric defined byEq. (34)becomes
ds2=v2dt2−dt2=dτ2. (37)
The trajectory of an event in 4-space is known as its world lin e. In Fig. 5 we represent the world
line of an event Ewith coordinates (x, τ). At each position the derivative of the world line with
respect to τis

It follows from Eq. (40) that, at each point, the components o fvare the direction cosines of the
tangentvectortotheworldlinethroughthat point.
We must now state a basic principle equivalentto Fermat’s pr inciple for ray propagation in optics
given in Eq. (1). Taking into consideration the relativisti c Lagrangian we can state the following
variationalprinciple:3,4

(mγ−V)ds= 0, (41)

We now have a 4-dimensional space, while in the Hamiltonian f ormulation of optics we used 3
dimensions. The following list shows the relationship betw een the two systems, where we refer

refractive index has no direct homologous; it will be shown t hat in special relativity we must
consider a non-homogeneous medium with different refracti ve indices in the spatial and proper

If the mass is allowed to be coordinate dependent, as a mass di stribution through the Universe,
the passage between Eqs. (47) and (48) is illegitimate and we are led to equations similar to Eq.
(19). The consideration of a coordinate dependent mass allo ws the prediction of worm tubes, the
analogues of optical waveguides, and black holes, which wou ld have optical analogues in high

The formal equivalence between light propagation and speci al relativity in the x, y, z, τ frame
suggeststhatdeBroglie’swavelengthmaybetheformalequi valentoflightwavelength.Wewould

principleby theequation

where his Planck’s constant. If we remember that everything is norm alized to the speed of light

So we have extended an existing principle to state that any pa rticle has an intrinsicfrequency that

In the 4-space x, y, z, τ frame a material particle travels in a trajectory with direc tion cosines

The previous equation defines a spatial wavelength which is t he same as was originally proposed
by de Broglie in the non-relativistic limit. When the speed o f light is approached Eq. (54) will

soλ→ ∞whenv→c.Almeida,Optical interpretation . . . OSA Annualmeeting/2008 Page 12
6 Wavepropagationand Schr ¨odinger equation
The arguments in the previous paragraphs lead us to state the general principle that a particle has
an associated frequency given by Eq. (51) and travels on a wor ld line through 4-space with the
speed oflight.In ageneralization to wavepackets,we willr espect theformal similaritywithlight
propagation and state that all waves travel in 4-space with t he speed of light. A particle about
which we know mass and speed but know nothing about its positi on will be represented by a
monocromaticwaveand amovingparticleingeneral willbere presented by awavepacket.

The interpretation of the uncertainty principle is that the best we know a particle’s position, the
least we know about its momentum and vice-versa; the product of the position and momentum

The second member on the previous equation has its first minim um for ∆xpx/h=πand so we
can say thatthespread inmomentumisgovernedby ∆x∆px=πhandEq. (64)isverified.Almeida,Optical interpretation . . . OSA Annualmeeting/2008 Page 14
If we accept that wave packets propagate in 4-space at the spe ed of light and that the momentum
is given by Eq. (44), there is a upper limit to the modulus of th e momentum |p| ≤mc. In the
propagationoflightrayswefoundasimilarlimitationas |p| ≤nwiththeresultsinlightdiffraction
exemplified by Eq. (32) and Fig. 3. It is expected that the same effects will be present in particle
diffraction and in fact Figs. 2 and 3 could also represent the diffraction of a stationary particle by
an aperture with width equal to λw. The strong peak about half one wavelength in front of the
aperture shows that the particle is localized in a region con siderably smaller than its wavelength
and, aboveall, showstheinexistenceofhigherorderpeaks.
8 Conclusions
Special relativitywasshowntobeformallyequivalenttoli ghtpropagation,providedthetimeaxis
is replaced by the proper time . In this coordinate set all particles follow w world line at t he speed
oflightandcanbeassumedtohaveanintrinsicfrequencygiv enbymc2/h.Quantummechanicsis
then a projection of 4-space wave propagation into 3-space. Important conclusions were possible
throughtheanalogy withlightpropagationand diffraction .
It was possible to derive Schr¨ odinger equation and it was sh own that Heisenberg’s uncertainty
principle may be violated in special cases in the very close r ange, similarly to what had already
been showntohappen inlightdiffraction.1
Future work will probably allow the derivation of relativis tic quantum mechanics conclusions,
throughtheuseoftheWignerDistributionFunctionforthep redictionofwavepacket propagation

tion is performedin a relativelylow-beta(FODO-like) lat-
tice in which only thin spoilers intercept particles near th e
beam core, while thick absorbers maintain a large stay-
clear from the beam. Two possible schemes for the spoil-
ersareconsidered: oneinwhichthespoilersarecapableof
tolerating a certain number of damaging interceptions per
colliderrun(”consumable”spoilers),andone in whichthe
spoilers are potentially damaged on every machine pulse
and are self-repairing (”renewable” spoilers). The colli-

1 INTRODUCTION
The experience of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) in-
dicates that collimation of the beam halo at the end of the
mainlinacsoftheNextLinearCollider(NLC)willbeane-
cessity. The principal requirementson the NLC post-linac
collimationsystem areasfollows:
•The system should stop particles which would gen-
erate unacceptable backgrounds in the detector from
enteringthe finalfocus
•The collimationefficiencyshould be sufficiently high
thatthenumberofhaloparticleswhicharetransmitted

ated bybeam-gasand thermal-photonscatteringfrom

2 DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS
The design of the post-linac collimation system is most
strongly governed by the expected properties of large ex-
cursions which can impact the collimators. Previously
it had been assumed that neither energy nor betatron ex-
cursions could be trapped actively in the NLC due to its
low repetition rate (120 linac pulses per second). A re-
examinationofthe SLCoperationalhistory,aswell as that
of other accelerators, indicated that failures which could
causeafast(inter-pulse)betatronoscillationoftherequ ired
magnitude were either rare or could be eliminated by de-
sign,whilepulse-to-pulseenergyvariationsoftherequir ed
magnitudecannotberuledoutforalinac.
The expected charge of the beam halo was originally
1010particles per linac pulse (1% of the beam), based
on early SLC experience. Later SLC experience showed
that the halo could be reduced substantially through care-
ful tuning of the injection (damping ring and compressor)
systems. In the present NLC design a collimation system
downstream of the damping ring and first bunch compres-sor is expected to dramatically reduce the halo intensity at
the end of the main linac. The present estimate of the halo
is107particles per pulse; we have chosen to design for
a safety factor of 100 over this estimate. This reduction
eliminatestherequirementsforwatercoolinginthespoile r
elementsandeasesthetolerancesonmuongeneration.

Theenergycollimationsectionachievespassiveprotectio n
against off-energy pulses through a 0.5 radiation length
(R.L.) spoileranda 20 R.L. absorberseparatedbyapprox-
imately 30 meters. The first few R.L. of the absorber are
titanium, for which the RMS beam size σr≡√σxσy
must be larger than 560 µm to ensure survival [2]. Beams
which pass through the spoiler will develop RMS scat-
tering angles of 19 µradians in horizontal and vertical;
combined with the dispersive beam size at the absorber
(ησδ= 500 µm), the expected size of a beam at the ab-
sorberwhichfirst passesthroughthespoileris660 µm.
Survival of the 0.5 R.L. spoiler is also a consideration.
At the spoiler location in the energy collimation region,
σr= 89µm. For the NLC bunch train at 500 GeV per
beam, the minimum beam size for survival of a 0.5 R.L.
beryllium spoiler is approximately 50 µm, thus we have
chosenberylliumasthematerialforthespoilers[3].
Thecollimationdepthinenergyshouldbenarrowerthan
the bandpassoverwhich beamsare well-behavedin the fi-
nal focus. The present system is designed to remove ±1%
off-energy particles, which requires a half-gap of 1.3 mm
forthespoilersand2.0mmfortheabsorbers.The jitter amplification effect of collimator wakefields
must be minimized at all points in the collimation system.
In the energy collimation region, the ratio ηx/βxis large
andthusthecollimatorwakefieldsprimarilycoupleenergy
jitter into horizontal position jitter. This aberration is can-
celled by placing a second spoiler-absorber pair at a loca-
tion which is −Iin betatron optics from the first pair but
with equal dispersion functions. The cancellation is only
exactforon-energyparticles,buttheexpectedenergyjitt er
of 0.22% only causes a horizontal jitter of 0.5% of σx. A
similareffectiscausedbyhigh-orderdispersion,butthee f-
fect is approximately1/3 aslarge asthe residualwakefield
jitter contribution.
3.2 BetatronCollimation
Because large betatron oscillations are not expected to de-
velop during one inter-pulse period, it is expected that the
betatron collimators will rarely be hit by the beam core.
The baseline design for the betatron collimation system,
which is the system pictured in Figure 2, utilizes “con-
sumable” spoilers, in which the spoilers can be moved to
present a fresh surface to the beam after every incident of
beam-core interception; we assume that 1,000 such inci-
dents can occur per year of operation. An alternative de-
sign would permit damage on every pulse and require that
the collimators be self-repairing, “renewable” collimato rs.
While more techincally challenging, the renewable colli-
matorswouldpermitsmalleraperturestobeused,whichin
turnwouldpermitsmallerbetatronfunctions.
The system in Figure 2 is based on a triplet lattice with
phase advancesof π/2and3π/2percell in horizontaland
vertical, respectively. Thus the system collimates in two
phases, two planes, two iterations per phase/plane. Each
high-beta region in the system contains 2 adjustable spoil-
ers (xandy) and 2 fixed cylindrical absorbers. Multiple
coulomb scattering in the spoilers gives the halo a large
angular divergence, which causes particles to hit the ab-
sorbersinthenextcell.
The required collimation aperture is set by acceptable
limits on synchrotronradiation in the final doublet. Based
on studies of the 1996 final focus [4], the nominal spoiler
half-gaps are approximately 200 µm for 500 GeV beams.
The fixed absorbers have a round aperture with a radius
of 1 mm. Spoilers and absorbers are 0.5 and 20.0 R.L.,
respectively.
The vertical jitter amplification factor for the betatron
collimation system is 46%, smaller than the 66% expected
forthe1996design. Fortheexpectedincomingjiter(0.375
σy), the collimators contribute 0.17 σyjitter in quadrature
withtheincomingjitter. Theseestimatesarebasedonana-
lytic modelsfor collimatorswith a ztaper and a large x/y
aspect ratio [5]; however, recent experiments indicate tha t
the actual wakefield effect may be smaller than this [6].
The horizontal jitter amplification is expected to be about
halfthat ofthe vertical.4 SCATTERING STUDIES

cles which are more than 2% off-energy), and cases with-

ofseveralhundredmuonsperlinacpulsetoenterthemuon

[7], as well as tens of muons per linac pulse in the elec-
tromagneticcalorimeter. Thesestudieswereperformedfor
500 GeV beams; for 250 GeV beams, 2 orders of magni-
tude improvement are expected. The muon rate can also
bereducedbyaddingadditionalspoilers,reducingthehalo
intensity,orconstructinga smallerdetector(suchas“LCD
Small”). Since the 500 GeV center-of-mass (CM) results
are quite acceptable, a reasonable approach to the muon
situation mightbe to buildthe system with 2 muontoroids
and spaces allocated for additional toroids, to be added in
later yearsifrequired.

Abstract
Hagen Kleinert’s early interest in particle physics quantu m field theory served him well for
his subsequent researches on statistical physics and colle ctive phenomena. Therefore, on the
occasion of a significant birthday, I offer him this essay, in w hich particle physics concepts
are blended into a field theory for macroscopic phenomena: Fl uid mechanics is enhanced by
anticommuting Grassmann variables to describe vorticity, while an additional interaction for
the Grassmann variables leads to supersymmetric fluid mecha nics.
1 Pr´ ecis of Fluid Mechanics (With No Vorticity)
Let me begin with a pr´ ecis of fluid mechanical equations [1]. An isentropic fluid is described
by a matter density field ρand a velocity field v, which satisfy a continuity equation involving
the current j=ρv:
˙ρ+∇·(ρv) = 0 (1)
and a force equation involving the pressure P:
˙v+v·∇v=−1
ρ∇P . (2)
(Over-dot denotes differentiation with respect to time.) Fo r isentropic fields, the pressure P
is a function only of the density, and the right side of (2) may also be written as −∇V′(ρ),
whereV′(ρ) is the enthalpy, P(ρ) =ρV′(ρ)−V(ρ), and/radicalbig
ρV′′(ρ) =/radicalbig
P′(ρ) is the sound
speed (prime denotes differentiation with respect to argume nt).2 R. Jackiw
Equations (1) and (2) can be obtained by bracketing the dynam ical variables ρandvwith
the Hamiltonian H(ρ,v)

provided the nonvanishing brackets of the fundamental vari ables (ρ,v) are taken to be [2]
{vi(r),ρ(r′)}=∂iδ(r−r′) (5a)
{vi(r),vj(r′)}=−ωij(r)
ρ(r)δ(r−r′). (5b)
(The fields in the brackets are at equal times, hence the time a rgument is suppressed.) Here
ωijis the vorticity, defined as the curl of vi:
ωij=∂ivj−∂jvi. (6)
One naturally asks whether there is a canonical 1-form that l eads to the symplectic struc-
ture (5); that is, one seeks a Lagrangian whose canonical var iables can be used to derive (5)
from canonical brackets. When the velocity is irrotational , the vorticity vanishes, vcan be
written as the gradient of a velocity potential θ,v=∇θ, and (5) is satisfied by postulating
that
{θ(r),ρ(r′)}=δ(r−r′) (7)
that is, the velocity potential is conjugate to the density, so that the Lagrangian can be taken
as

2 Extending the Formalism to Include Vorticity
The traditional method of including vorticity in a Lagrangi an formalism [3] involves writing
the velocity in a more elaborate potential representation, the so-called Clebsch parameteriza-
tion [4],
v=∇θ+α∇β (9)Description of Vorticity by Grassmann Variables and an Exte nsion to Supersymmetry 3
which supports nonvanishing vorticity
ωij=∂iα∂jβ−∂jα∂iβ . (10)
The Lagrangian
L=−/integraldisplay
drρ(˙θ+α˙β)−H/vextendsingle/vextendsingle
v=∇θ+α∇β(11)
identifies canonical pairs to be {θ,ρ}(as in the irrotational case) and also {β,αρ}. It then
follows that the algebra (5) is satisfied, provided vis given by (9). The quantities ( α,β) are
called the “Gauss potentials”.
The situation here is similar to the electromagnetic force l aw: The Lorentz equation can
be presented in terms of the electric and magnetic field stren gths, but a Lagrangian for the
motion requires describing the fields in terms of potentials .
3 Some Further Observations on the
Clebsch Decomposition of the Vector Field v
In three dimensions, (9) involves the same number of functio ns on the left and right sides of
the equality: three. The total number of dynamical variable s (ρ,v) is even – four – so an
appropriate phase space can be constructed from the four pot entials (ρ,θ,α,β ). Nevertheless
the Gauss potentials are not uniquely determined by v. The following is the reason why
a canonical formulation of (5) requires using the Clebsch de composition (9). Although the
algebra (5) is consistent in that the Jacobi identity is sati sfied, it is degenerate in that the
kinematic helicity h
h≡1
2/integraldisplay
d3rv·(∇×v) =1
2/integraldisplay
d3rv·ω (12)
(ωi=1
2εijkωjk) has vanishing bracket with ρandv. (Note that his just the Abelian Chern-
Simons term of v[5].) Consequently, a canonical formulation requires elim inating the kernel
of the algebra, that is, neutralizing h. This is achieved by the Clebsch decomposition: v=
∇θ+α∇β,ω=∇α×∇β,v·ω=∇θ·(∇α×∇β) =∇·(θ∇α×∇β). Thus in the
Clebsch parameterization the helicity is given by a surface integralh=1
2/integraltext
dS·θ(∇α×∇β)
– it possesses no bulk contribution, and the obstruction to a canonical realization of (5) is
removed [6].
In two spatial dimensions, the Clebsch parameterization is redundant, involving three func-
tions to express the two velocity components. Moreover, the kernel of (5) in two dimensions
comprises an infinite number of quantities
kn=/integraldisplay
d2rρ/parenleftBigω

(13)4 R. Jackiw
for which the Clebsch parameterization offers no simplificat ion. (Hereωis the two-dimensional
vorticityωij=εijω.) Nevertheless, a canonical formulation in two dimensions also uses Clebsch
variables to obtain an even-dimensional phase space.
4 Kinematical Grassmann Variables for Vorticity
Rather than using the Gauss potentials ( α,β) of the Clebsch parameterization (9) in the de-
scription of vorticity (10), we propose an alternative that makes use of Grassmann variables [7].
We write
v=∇θ−1
2ψa∇ψa (14)
whereψais a multicomponent, real Grassmann spinor ψ∗
a=ψa, (ψaψb)∗=ψ∗
aψ∗
b. (The number
of components depends on spatial dimensionality.) Evident ly the nonvanishing vorticity is
ωij=−∂iψa∂jψa. (15)
Moreover, the canonical 1-form in the Lagrangian that repla ces (11) reads
L=−/integraldisplay
drρ(˙θ−1
2ψa˙ψa)−H/vextendsingle/vextendsingle
v=∇θ−1
2ψ∇ψ(16)
The Hamiltonian retains its (bosonic) form (3), but the Gras smann variables are hidden in the
formula for the velocity. From the canonical 1-form, we dedu ce that (θ,ρ) remain a conjugate
pair [see (7)] and that the canonically independent Grassma nn variables are√ρψ. Thus we
postulate, in addition to the Poisson bracket (7) satisfied b y (θ,ρ), a Poisson antibracket for
the Grassmann variables
{ψa(r),ψb(r′)}=−δab
ρ(r)δ(r−r′) (17)
and this, together with (7), has the further consequence tha t the following brackets hold:
{θ(r),ψ(r′)}=−1
2ρ(r)δ(r−r′) (18)
{v(r),ψ(r′)}=−∇ψ(r)
ρ(r)δ(r−r′). (19)
The algebra (5) follows.
One may state that it is natural to describe vorticity by Gras smann variables: vortex
motion is associated with spin, and the Grassmann descripti on of spin within classical physics
is well known. In the model as developed thus far the Grassman n variables have no role
beyond the kinematical one of parameterizing vorticity (15 ) and providing the correct bracket
structure. They do not contribute to the equations of motion forρandv, (1) and (2) [even
though they are hidden in the formula (14) for v]. Moreover, they satisfy a free equation:
from (16) it follows that
˙ψ+v·∇ψ= 0. (20)Description of Vorticity by Grassmann Variables and an Exte nsion to Supersymmetry 5
5 Dynamical Grassmann Variables for
Supersymmetry
Thus far the Grassmann variables’ only role has been to param eterize the velocity/vorticity
(14), (15) and to provide canonical variables for the symple ctic structure (5). The equations
for the fluid (1), (2) are not polluted by them and they do not ap pear in the Hamiltonian,
beyond their hidden contribution to v. Thus the equation for the Grassmann fields is free (20).
But now we enquire whether we can add a Grassmann term to the Ha miltonian so that
the Grassmann variables enter the dynamics and the entire mo del enjoys supersymmetry.
We have succeeded for a specific form of the potential V(ρ):
V(ρ) =λ
ρ(21)
and for the specific dimensionalities of space-time: (2+1) a nd (1+1). The reason for these
specificities will be explained in the next Section.
The potential (21), with λ>0, leads to negative pressure
P(ρ) =ρV′(ρ)−V(ρ) =−2λ/ρ (22)
and sound speed
s=/radicalbig
P′(ρ) =√
2λ/ρ (23)
(henceλ>0). This model is called the “Chaplygin gas”.
Chaplygin introduced his equation of state as a mathematica l approximation to the physi-
cally relevant adiabatic expressions V(ρ)∝ρnwithn>0 [8]. (Constants are arranged so that
the Chaplygin formula is tangent at one point to the adiabati c profile.) Also it was realized
that certain deformable solids can be described by the Chapl ygin equation of state [9]. These
days negative pressure is recognized as a possible physical effect: exchange forces in atoms
give rise to negative pressure; stripe states in the quantum Hall effect may be a consequence
of negative pressure; the recently discovered cosmologica l constant may be exerting negative
pressure on the cosmos, thereby accelerating expansion.

In (1+1) dimensions the Chaplygin gas equation can be writte n in compact form in terms of

Both eqs. (1) and (2) are equivalent to
˙R±=−R∓∂
∂xR±. (31)
It is known that this system is completely integrable [11]. O ne hint for this is the existence of
an infinite number of constants of motion:
In

and a general solution follows immediately with the help of ( 31):ψis an arbitrary function
ofR+.
ψ= Ψ(R+) (35)
Thus the system remains completely integrable.

6 The Origins of Our Models
We have succeeded in supersymmetrizing a specific model – the Chaplygin gas – in specific
dimensionalities – the 2-dimensional plane and the 1-dimen sional line – leading to nonrelativis-
tic, supersymmetric fluid mechanics in (2+1)- and (1+1)-dim ensional space-time. The reason
for these specificities is that both models descend from Namb u-Goto models for extended sys-
tems in a target space of one dimension higher than the world v olume of the extended object.
Specifically, a membrane in three spatial dimensions and a st ring in two spatial dimensions,
when gauge-fixed in a light-cone gauge, can be shown to devolv e to a bosonic Chaplygin gas
in two and one spatial dimensions, respectively [13]. The flu id velocity potential arises from
the single dynamical variable in the gauge-fixed Nambu-Goto theory, namely, the transverse
direction variable for the membrane in space and the string o n a plane. Although purely
bosonic Chaplygin gas models in other dimensions can devolv e from appropriate Nambu-Goto
models for extended objects, for the supersymmetric case we need a superextended object, and
these exist only in specific dimensionalities. In our case it is the light-cone parameterized su-
permembrane in (3+1)-dimensional space-time [14] and the s uperstring in (2+1)-dimensional
space-time [15] that give rise to our planar and lineal super symmetric fluid models.
One naturally wonders whether an arbitrary bosonic potenti alV(ρ) has a supersymmetric
partner in arbitrary dimensions, and this problem is under f urther investigation. One promising
approach is to consider parameterizations of extended obje cts other than the light-cone one.
It is known that in the purely bosonic case, other parameteri zations of the Nambu-Goto
actions lead to other fluid mechanical models, and this shoul d carry over to a supersymmetric
generalization.
Incidentally, the existence of Nambu-Goto antecedents of t he fluid models that we have
discussed allows one to understand some of their remarkable properties: complete integrability
in the lineal case; existence of further symmetries (which w e have not discussed here) and
relation to other models (which devolve from the same extend ed system, but are parameterized
differently from the light-cone method) [16].

Yong-Gwan Yi∗
February 21, 2014
Abstract
A quantum-electrodynamical description of the self-energ y in which the
interaction is propagated with the velocity of light instea d of instantaneously
gives rise to a modification of the photon propagator identic al with the conver-
gence factor. The self-energy is discussed in relation to th e static polarization
induced in the vacuum due to the presence of an electron itsel f.
The self-energy of an electron is an old problem of electrody namics. The quan-
tum theory has put the problem in a critical state. In 1939, We isskopf calculated
the self-energy of an electron according to the positron the ory of Dirac, in which
the self-energy diverges only logarithmically [1]. In 1949 , Feynman put forward
an intuitive and intelligible method of calculation in atta cking this problem [2].
The fact that the integral is not finite is unavoidable, but th e convergence factor
that is adopted for computational purposes defines the mathe matics [3]. From the
discussion of “action-at-a-distance” in classical electr odynamics, meanwhile, I have
attempted to evaluate the self-energy in which the interact ion is propagated with
the velocity of light instead of instantaneously. The neces sity of such an evaluation
occurred to me on the assumption that action of a source shoul d be explicable solely
on the finite propagation velocity. I shall comment on the phy sical significance of
the convergence factor.
Looking at the Feynman diagram for the self-energy, one sees at once that it
describes steady-state interaction phenomena. The diagra m represents both the
instantaneous interaction of the electron with the Coulomb field created by the
electron itself and the self-interaction due to the emissio n and reabsorption of a
virtual transverse photon. We know, however, in classical e lectrodynamics that the
Coulomb potential does not act instantaneously, but is dela yed by the time of prop-
agation. We also know that the velocity of an electron cannot exceed the velocity
of light, and hence any electron cannot reabsorb a photon it e mitted at a retarded
time. From these points of view the Feynman graph illustrati ng the self-energy is
unnatural. We are thus led to suspect the physical descripti on of the Feynman di-
agram. A physical description of time-dependent interacti on necessitates a further
effect.
What further effect can be assumed in the Feynman diagram with out violating
the established thought? Perhaps the vacuum polarization i s an illustration. To be
∗Geo-Sung Furume Apt. 101-401, Gebong-1-dong Guro-ku, Seou l, Korea
1consistent with time-dependent interaction, it is necessa ry to regard an electron-
positron pair as existing part of the time in the form of a virt ual photon.
If the photon virtually disintegrates into an electron-pos itron pair for a certain
fraction of the time, the electron loop gives an additional e2correction to the photon
propagator through which an electron interacts with itself . The modification of the
photon propagator is then the replacement

q2/bracketleftbig
−Πµν(q)/bracketrightbig1
q2+···, (1)
where Π µν(q) is the vacuum polarization tensor and the iǫprescription is implicit.
The polarization tensor Π µν(q) is written as the sum of a constant term Π(0) for
q= 0 and terms proportional to ( qµqν−δµνq2). The leading term Π(0) is quadrat-
ically divergent constant. In the limit q2→0, the q2term is absorbed into the
renormalization constant. Keeping only the leading term, w e see that (1) can be
written as
1
q2−→1
q2+ Π(0)−1
q2,or1
q2−1
q2−Π(0)by letting q2→q2−Π(0),(2)
where we have used the operator relation ( A−B)−1=A−1+A−1BA−1+···.
Let us recall that the convergence factor for a light quantum introduced by
Feynman is
1
q2−→1
q2−Λ2
q2−Λ2,that is ,1
q2−1
q2−Λ2, (3)
where Λ2is the cut-off constant for q2and the iǫprescription is implicit. It becomes
evident that the additional electron loop gives rise to a mod ification of the photon
propagator identical with the convergence factor consider ed in connection with the
divergent self-energy integral. This fact throws light on t he physical implication
of the convergence factor. Physically the modification (3) i s now looked upon as
the result of superposition of the effects of vacuum polariza tion rather than that of
quanta of various masses. From a minus sign associated with t he closed loop, we can
then understand why we must associate the minus sign with the convergence factor
which has not been explained so far from the latter point of vi ew. By interpreting
Λ2as Π(0), we can clarify the mathematical content of Feynman’ s approach and
emphasize the physical meaning of Weisskopf’s result that t he self-energy is due to
the static polarization induced in the vacuum due to the pres ence of an electron
itself rather than to the reaction back on the electron of its own radiation fields.
There have been many arguments which say that the quadratica lly divergent
constant Π(0) must be discarded [4]. This is because it modifi es the photon propa-
gator into a propagator for a neutral-vector meson of a mass/radicalbig
Π(0). Even though
any “honest” calculation gives Π(0) /negationslash= 0, at present, the way we compute the vac-
uum polarization is consistent with assigning a null value t o Π(0) which leads to a
nonvanishing photon mass. When viewed from the present poin t, however, one sees
that the modification (3) amounts to the substitution of the v alue Π(0). Whenever
the photon propagator is supplied with the convergence fact or, it amounts to taking
account of the closed loop contribution to the photon propag ator. The assumption
of Π(0) has been removed from the discussion, but the appeara nce of the value is
explicit in the practical calculation.
2The polarization tensor Π µνdiverges severely. A method of making Π µνconver-
gent without spoiling the gauge invariance has been found by Bethe and by Pauli
[5]. The method states that if we subtract from the integrand of Π µνa similar
expression with mreplaced by a very large mass ( m2+Λ2)1/2, we get a much more
reasonable result. Even though such a procedure has no meani ng in terms of phys-
ically realizable particles, it characterizes a possible c alculation of the closed loop
path of virtual particles. It should be noted that the closed loop is a virtual process
in which an electron-positron pair is physically imaginabl e particles. The energy
of radiation fields of an electron is, as usually understood, far less than 2 mc2, so
the virtual electron-positron pair is negative in energy co mpared to the rest mass.
The virtual pair is nothing more than a pair-like concept. Th e problem is how to
calculate the closed loop path of such a virtual pair. One find s that the conver-
gence procedure, which suggests taking the difference of the result for electrons of
p2=m2andp2=m2+ Λ2, is to be expected also from the physical standpoint.
The convergence procedure shows itself in a definite way

which fits in completely with the physical description of suc h a virtual electron-
positron pair.
The further effect which we have assumed for computing the ele ctron self-energy
is the vacuum polarization. In radiative corrections, a “fu ndamental” effect which
gives rise to the modification of the photon propagator would be the vacuum po-
larization that describes corrections to a virtual photon.

maximised over S, gives the capacity of the above channel with an input power c onstraint
in the caseHis known at the receiver but not at the transmitter. For arbit raryC,Dexact
expressions are obtained for the expectation and variance o ff(H) in the large matrix size
limit. ForC=D=I, whereIis the identity matrix, expressions are in addition obtaine d
for the full moment generating function for arbitrary (finit e) matrix size in the large signal

known and partly unknown and of the form αI+βH,α,βbeing known constants and
entries ofHi.i.d. Gaussian with variance 1 /n. Channels of the form described above are
of interest for wireless transmission with multiple antenn ae and receivers.
11 Introduction
Channels with multiplicative noise are in general difficult t o treat and not many analytical
results are known for the channel capacity and optimal input distributions. We borrow
techniques from random matrix theory [1] and associated sad dle point integration meth-
ods in the large matrix size limit to obtain several analytic al results for the memoryless
discrete-time matrix channel with additive Gaussian noise . Apart from the intrinsic in-
terest in multiplicative noise, these results are relevant to the study of wireless channels
with multiple antennae and/or receivers [2, 3, 4].
The channel input-output relationship is defined as
Yi=n/summationdisplay
j=1HijXj+Zi (1)
where all the quantities are in general complex, and i= 1...m,j= 1...n.Ziare Gaussian
distributed with zero mean and a unity covariance matrix, E[ZiZ∗

fixes the units for measuring signal power. For most of the pap er we employ an overall
power constraint
n/summationdisplay
j=1E[|Xj|2] =nP (2)
except in one case where we are able to employ an amplitude (or peak power) constraint.
The entries of the matrix Hijare assumed to be chosen from a zero mean Gaussian
distribution with covariance matrix
E[HikH∗
jl] =1
nCijDkl (3)
HereC,Dare positive definite Hermitian matrices. Note that althoug h we assume
the distribution of Hto be Gaussian, this assumption can be somewhat relaxed with out
substantially affecting some of the large nresults. This kind of universality is expected
from known results in random matrix theory [1]. However, for simplicity we do not enter
into the related arguments.
We consider the case where C,Dare arbitrary positive definite hermitian matrices,
as well as the special case where C,Dare identity matrices. In either case, one needs to
consider the scale of H. SinceHmultipliesX, we absorb the scale of HintoP. The
formulae derived in the paper can be converted into more expl icit ones exhibiting the scale
ofH(sayh) and the noise variance σby the simple substitution P→Ph2/σ2.
A note about our choice of convention regarding scaling with n: We chose to scale
the elements of the matrix Hijto be order 1 /√nand let each signal element Xjbe order
1. In the multi-antenna wireless literature, it is common to do the scaling the other way
round. In these papers [2, 3], Xj’s are scaled as 1 /√nbut keeping Hij’s are kept order 1
so that the average totalpower isP. Our choice of convention is motivated by the fact
that we want to treat the systems with channel known at receiv er and those with partially
unknown channel within the same framework. For reasons that will become clear later, it
is convenient for us to keep the scaling of the input space and the output space to be the
same, i. e. to keep Yi,XjandZiall to be order 1 and to scale down Hijto be order 1 /√n.
2The advantage of this is that the singular values of Hhappens to be order 1. For the
results in the last section, it is convenient that the fluctua ting part of the matrix scales
this way, in order to have a meaningful result . The final answe r for capacity is obviously
the same in either convention. While using our results in the context of multiantenna
wireless, we just have to remember that the total power, in ph ysical units, is P, and not
nP.
In this paper, we discuss two classes of problems. The first cl ass consists of cases
whereHis known to the receiver but not to the transmitter. Hbeing known to neither
corresponds to problems of the second class. The case where His known to both could
be solved by a combination of random matrix techniques used i n this paper and the
water-filling solution [2].
As for the first class of problems, we need to maximise the mutu al information I(X,(H,Y))
over the probability distribution of Xsubject to the power constraint. Following Telatar’s
argument [2], one can show that it is enough to maximise over G aussian distributions of
X, withE(X) = 0. Let E(X∗
iXj) =PSij.TrS=nso that the power constraint is
satisfied.Shas to be chosen so that E(I(X,Y|H)), i. e. mutual information of X,Yfor
givenH, averaged over different realisations of H, is maximum.
Most of the paper deals with the statistical properties of th e quantity
f(H) = log det(1 + PH†SH) =rank(H)/summationdisplay
i=1log(1 +Pµi) (4)
whereµiare the squares of the singular values of the matrix S1

•Sand Λ are simultaneously diagonalizable.
•In the simultaneously diagonalizing basis, let the diagona l elements Sii=siand

•Forisuch thatsi= 0,λi<λ.
The derivation of these conditions are provided in Appendix A.

We start with the simplest case, in which the matrix entries a re i.i.d. Gaussian, corre-
sponding to C=I,D=I. In this case, one obtains S=Ifor the capacity achieving
distribution [2]. In this case, the joint probability densi ty of the singular values of His

In the following, we assume (without loss of generality) min(n,m) =n.
This form has been utilised before to obtain the expectation off(H) in terms of inte-
grals over Laguerre polynomials [2]. However, it is also fai rly straightforward to obtain the
full moment generating function (and hence the probability density) off(H), particularly
at largeP. Consider the moment generating function F(α) of the random variable f(H),

2.1 Large P limit
In the limit of large P, the expectation can be simply computed as an application of the
integral formula stated above. Note that the large Plimit is obtained when Pis much
larger than the inverse of the typical smallest eigenvalue. For the case m=n, this would
require that P >>n , whereas if m/n=β >1, then we require P >> (√β−1)−1. Taking

To obtain this expression for F(α), one has to simply express the quantity/producttext

as a Vandermonde determinant and perform the integrals in th e resultant sum. The in-
tegral can be expressed in terms of a Whittaker function (rel ated to degenerate Hyper-
geometric functions), and can be evaluated rapidly, so that for small values of m,nthis
provides a reasonable procedure for numerical evaluation o f the probability distribution
off(H).
3 Channel known at the receiver: large matrix
size, correlated entries.
For the more general case of correlations between matrix ent ries as in Eq.3, the matrix
ensemble is no longer invariant under rotations of H, so that the eigenvalue distribution
used in the earlier section is no longer valid. However, by us ing saddle point integration
[5], it is still possible to compute the expectation and vari ance off(H) in the limit of large
matrix sizes. In this section, we simply state the results fo r the expectation and variance,
and explore the consequences of the formulae obtained. The s addle point method used to
obtain these results was used in an earlier paper to obtain th e singular value density of
random matrices [5] and is described in Appendix B .
The expectation and variance of f(H) are given in terms of the following equations:

4 Calculating Capacity
In this section we provide the step by step procedure for calc ulating capacity using the
results from the previous sections. We found that the optima l covariance matrix Sand the
matrixCcould be diagonalized together. Let us work in the diagonali zing basis. Define ˜C
as before. This is a diagonal matrix in this basis, with diago nal elements ξi=cisi, where
ci,siare the diagonal elements of C,Srespectively. We assume that ci’s are sorted in
decreasing order. That is, c1>c2>· · ·>cm. The optimality condition, Eq.5, becomes:
cir
w+cisir=λ,fori= 1,...,p. (25)
pis the number for nonzero si’s. One way to see this is as follows: Take the expression in
Eq.19, replace ξbycisiand take its derivative with respect to non-zero si’s. Note that q,r
changes aξichanges. However, this expression is evaluated at a point wh ich is stationary
with respect to variation in qandr. Hence, to first order, changes of q,rdue to changes
inξdo not have a contribution. We just change ξkeepingq,rfixed. Since ∂ξi/∂si=ci,
we got the expression in Eq.25.
Eq.25, along with Eq.23 and Eq.24, provide p+ 2 equations for p+ 3 unknowns,
namelyr,qandsi,i= 1,..,p. The additional condition comes from total power constrain t/summationtext
isi=P. Once we find such a solution, we could check whether the condi tionssi>0
andλi=cir/w < λ is satisfied for all i > p. If any of them is not satisfied, we need
to changep, the number of non-zero eigenvalues of S. After getting a consistent set of
solutions we use Eq.19 to calculate capacity.
Schematically, the algorithm is as follows:
1. Diagonalize Cand arrange eigenvalues in the decreasing order along the di agonal.
62. Start with p=1.
3. Solve equations 25,23,24 along with the power constraint .
4. Check whether si>0 fori= 1,..,p, and,cp+1r/w<λ .
5. If any of the previous conditions are not satisfied, go back to step 3 with pincre-
mented by 1. Otherwise, proceed to next step.
6. Calculate capacity using Eq.19.
5 Channel known at the receiver: large matrix
size, uncorrelated entries
The results of the previous section simplify if we assume tha t the matrix entries are
uncorrelated with unit variance. In this case, the equation s become
E[f(H)] =mlog(w+r) +nlog(w+q)−nqr−(m+n)log(w) (26)
V[f(H)] =−2log|1−1
(w+q)2β
(w+r)2| (27)
r=1
w+q(28)
q=β
w+r(29)
First, consider the special case where m=n. In this case, we obtain
E[f(H)] =n[log/parenleftBigP

V[f(H)] = 2log/parenleftBig(1 +x)2

(31)
wherex2+x=P(x positive). For large P, the expectation and variance tend to nlog(P/e)
and log(P) respectively. Note that the variance grows logarithmical ly with power, but
does not depend on the number of channels.
Form,nnot equal, one obtains expressions which are analogous by so lving the simul-
taneous equations above for qandr(which lead to quadratic equations for either qorr
by elimination of the other variable):
r(w) =−(w2+m−n) + ∆
2w(32)
q(w) =−(w2−m+n) + ∆
2w(33)
∆ =/radicalBig
(w2+m+n)2−4mn (34)
Substituting these formulae in Eq.26 and Eq.27 gives the des ired expressions for the
expectation and variance of the capacity f(H).
76 H unknown at both receiver, transmitter: large
matrix size, uncorrelated entries
The case where His unknown both to the transmitter and receiver is in general hard [4].
For example, analytical formulae for the capacity are not av ailable even in the scalar case.
However, in the case that the matrix entries are uncorrelate d, the problem reduces to an
effective scalar problem which exhibits simple behaviour at large m. To proceed, one first
obtains the conditional distribution p(/vectorY|/vectorX). This can be done by noting that for fixed
/vectorX,/vectorYis a linear superposition of zero mean Gaussian variables an d is itself Gaussian with
zero mean and variance given by
E[YiY∗
j] = (1 +1
n/summationdisplay
k|Xk|2)δij (35)
Note that only the magnitude of the vector /vectorXenters into the equation, and the dis-
tribution of /vectorYis isotropic. Effectively, since the transfer matrix is unkn own both at the
transmitter and receiver, only magnitude information and n o angular information can be
transmitted. Since we are free to choose the input distribut ion ofx=|/vectorX|/√n, we can
henceforth regard xas a positive scalar variable. As for y=|/vectorY|/√m(√mis just to ar-
range the right scaling),we still have to keep track of the ph ase space factor y2m−1which
comes from transforming to 2 mdimensional polar coordinates. Note that we need 2 m
dimensions since /vectorYis a complex vector. Thus, the problem can be treated as if it w ere a
scalar channel, keeping track only of the magnitudes yandx, except that the measure for
integration over yshould bedµ(y) = Ω 2my2m−1dywhere Ω 2mis from the angular integral.
The conditional probability p(y|x) is given by
p(y|x) =/bracketleftbiggm

The conditional entropy of ygivenxis easy to compute from the original obervation
that the conditional distribution is Gaussian, and is given by

(37)
The entropy of the output is
H(y) =−Ex/integraldisplay
dµ(y)p(y|x)log(Ex′p(y|x′)) (38)
Thus, the mutual information between input and output is giv en by subtracting the two
expressions above and rearranging terms:
I=−Ex/integraldisplay
dµ(y)p(y|x)log(Ex′[(1 +x2
1 +x′2)mexp(−my2

Theyintegral contains the factor
y2m−1exp(−my2

8which is sharply peaked around y2= (1 +x2) formlarge. Thus, the yintegral can be
evaluated using Laplace’s method to obtain (for mlarge)
I≈ −ExlogEx′[(1 +x2
1 +x′2)mexp(−m(1 +x2)
(1 +x′2)+m)] (41)
Applying Laplace’s method again to perform the integral ins ide the logarithm, as-
suming that the distribution over xis given by a continuous function p(x), we finally
obtain
I=1
2log(2m

dxp(x)log[x

The capacity and optimal input distribution is straightfor wardly obtained by max-
imising the above. It is easier to treat the case where a peak p ower constraint is used,
namelyx≤√
P. In this case, the optimal input distribution is ( x∈[0,√

p(x) =1
log(1 +P)2x
1 +x2(43)
and the channel capacity is
C=1
2log(m
2π) + log(log(1 + P)) (44)
Notice that the capacity still grows with m, which is somewhat surprising, but this
growth is only logarithmic. Secondly, the dependence on the peak power is through a
double logarithm.
With an average power constraint/integraltextx2dxp(x) =Pthe optimal input distribution is
given by

For largeP,a≈log(1 +P), thus recovering the double logarithm behaviour.
7 Information loss due to multiplicative noise
We could generalize the calculation in the previous section to a problem which interpolates
smoothly between usual additive noise channel and the case c onsidered above. This is a
9problem with same number of transmitters and receivers ( m=n) and is defined by
Yi=n/summationdisplay
j=1(αδij+βHij)Xj+Zi (48)
β= 0 is the usual channel with additive gaussian noise. α= 0 corresponds the problem
we have just discussed. In the first case, capacity increases logarithmically with input
power, whereas in the second case it has a much slower (double logarithmic) dependence
on input power. Apart from the theoretical interest in study ing the crossover between
these two kinds of behavior, this problem has much practical importance [7].
The easy thing to calculate is c= lim n→∞C/n. Notice that this quantity is zero in
the limitα→0, capacity being logarithmic in nin that limit. For simplicity, we choose
the input power constraint/summationtext
i|Xi|2≤nP. We relegate the details of the saddle point
calculation to Appendix C. The result is
c= log/bracketleftBigg
1 +α2P
1 +β2P/bracketrightBigg
(49)
The result tells us that, in the large Nlimit, the effect of multiplicative noise is similar
to that if an additive noise whose strength increases with th e input power.
It is of particular interest to note that there exists a lower bound to the channel
capacity, which is given by the capacity of a fictitious addit ive gaussian channel with the
same covariance matrix for ( /vectorX,/vectorY) as the channel in question. Remarkably, this bound
coincides with the saddle point answer.
8 Appendix A
The condition of optimality with respect to Sis
E[Tr{(1 +PH†SH)−1H†δSH}] =Tr(ΛδS)≤0 (50)
for all allowed small δS.δShas to satisfy two conditions: that S+δSis non-negative
definite and that Tr(δS) = 0. The matrix Λ has been defined in the first section. It is a
non-negative definite hermitian matrix.
IfShas only positive eigenvalues then adding a small enough her mitianδSto it
does not make any of the eigenvalues zero or negative. Then on ly way the optimisation
condition can be satisfied is by choosing Λ to be proportional to the Identity matrix. This
can be seen as follows: for Λ = λI,Tr ΛδS=λTrδS = 0. If Λ /ne}ationslash=λI, then, in general,
TrΛδS/ne}ationslash= 0 even though δS= 0, and can therefore be chosen to be positive.
What ifShas few zero eigenvalues? Let us choose a basis so that Sis diagonal. The
eigenvalue of S siare ordered so that s1,...,s kare positive and si= 0 fori > k. We
could choose δSijto be non zero only for 1 ≤i,j≤kand repeating the argument of the
last paragraph, Λ ij=λδij, for 1 ≤i,j≤k. In fact, even if we choose δSijto be nonzero
fori≤k < j , andj≤k < i we do not violate, to first order in δS, non negativity of
eigenvalues of S+δS. This would give us Λ ij= 0 fori≤k<j andj≤k<i. Hence Λ is of
block-diagonal form. The k×kblock is already constrained to be proportional to Identity
matrix. We would now constrain the other block of Λ which is of size (n−k)×(n−k).
10Since the last n−keigenvectors of Scorrespond to zero eigenvalues, we are free to
rotate them among each other. Using this freedom, we diagona lise the lower ( n−k)×(n−k)
block of Λ. Choosing diagonal δSijwith with negative values for i=j≤kbut positive
valuesi=j >k, and satisfying Tr(δS) = 0, we can show that the last n−keigenvalues
of Λ are smaller than or equal to λ.

The introduction of multiple copies of the Gaussian integra tion is the well known ‘replica

det([w iH ;−iH†w])−α=w−(m+n)αe−αf(H)(53)
where we have set w2=n/P. The moment generating function of f(H) can be obtained
by studying the expectation of the determinant above with re spect to the probability

appropriate contours in the complex plain. For example, if t heQijintegrals are along

be integrated over Rto obtain the above equation. The integrals over X,Ycan now be

Ifm,nbecome large and the number of non-zero ξi,ηigrow linearly with m,n, then
we can perform the R,Qintegrals using saddle point methods. If we assume that at th e
saddle point the matrices R,Qdo not break the replica symmetry , i.e R=rI,Q=qI

1In the theory of relativity, it is well known that the order of successive Lorentz transfor-
mations is crucial in relating two inertial reference frame s [1]:
[Ji, Jj] =iǫijkJk,
[Ji, Kj]=iǫijkKk,
[Ki, Kj]=−iǫijkJk, (1)
where Ji,j,kandKi,j,kare the infinitesimal generators of rotations and boosts, re spectively.
The phenomenon of Thomas precession is known to originate fr om this non-commutativity,
in which the effect of two successive Lorentz transformation is equivalent to the product
of a single Lorentz transformation and a rotation. The prece ssion formula can be derived
approximately through the infinitesimal Lorentz transform ation consisting of rotations and
boosts [2–4]. In this note we intend to present an alternativ e derivation, showing that the
finite precession angle can be computed exactly through appl ications of the spinor algebra [5].
In the two-component spinor algebra, the Pauli matrices sat isfy the commutator:
[σi, σj] = 2iǫijkσk (2)
It is clear that Ji=σi/2 (rotations) and Ki=iσi/2 (boosts) represent the two-dimensional
Lorentz group. A finite rotation about an axis ˆ nthrough an angle θis written as R=
exp(iθ/vector σ·ˆ n
2), while a pure boost in an arbitrary direction ˆ nbecomes B= exp(−ζ/vector σ·ˆ n
2), where
ζrepresents the rapidity parameter, /vectorζ=ζˆn. This simple properties of σienable one to
manipulate explicitly these finite rotations. We will explo it this property to calculate the
result of the combination of finite Lorentz transformations .
We start with the combination of two pure boosts by choosing o ne boost with rapidity
parameter 2 ηalong the direction ˆ nα=−(sin 2αˆx+ cos 2 αˆz), and the other with rapidity
2ξˆz:
K=e−/vectorξ·/vector σe−/vector η·/vector σ=e−ξσ3eη(cos 2 ασ3+sin2 ασ1). (3)
The combination of two pure boosts is equivalent to the combi nation of a third boost and a
rotation:
K=eΛ(cos 2Θ σ3+sin2Θ σ1)eiΨσ2
=e−iΘσ2eΛσ3ei(Θ+Ψ) σ2. (4)
Here 2Λ is the third rapidity in the direction ˆ nΘ=−(sin 2Θˆ x+ cos 2Θˆ z), while 2Ψ is the
Thomas precession angle rotated about ˆ y. Given ξ,η, and α, we are interested in how Λ,
Θ, and the angle Ψ in particular, can be derived exactly. It tu rns out that KKTandKTK
provide a simple approach to this problem.
We may write KKTfrom eq.(3):
KKT=e−ξσ3e2η(cos 2 ασ3+sin2 ασ1)e−ξσ3. (5)
But from eq.(4),
KKT=e2Λ(cos 2Θ σ3+sinΘ σ1)=e−iΘσ2e2Λσ3eiΘσ2
= cosh 2Λ + (cos 2Θ σ3+ sin Θ σ1) sinh 2Λ . (6)
2We may then cast the above two equations into [6]:
KKT=e−iΘσ2e2Λσ3eiΘσ2
=e−ξσ3e2η(cos 2 ασ3+sin2 ασ1)e−ξσ3
= cosh 2 ξcosh 2 η−cos 2αsinh 2ξsinh 2η+
[−sinh 2ξcosh 2 η+ cos 2 αcosh 2 ξsinh 2η]σ3
+[sin 2 αsinh 2η]σ1. (7)
Comparing eq.(7) and the second line of eq.(6), it follows th at
tan 2Θ =sin 2αsinh 2η
−cosh 2 ηsinh 2ξ+ cos 2 αsinh 2ηcosh 2 ξ, (8)
cosh 2Λ = cosh 2 ξcosh 2 η−cos 2αsinh 2ξsinh 2η. (9)
Note that Ψ is canceled out in KKT. Eqs.(8) and (9) are equivalent to eq.(11.32) in Ref.2.
To compute Ψ, we now turn to KTK. From eq.(3), we find
KTK=eη(cos 2 ασ3+sin 2 ασ1)e−2ξσ3eη(cos 2 ασ3+sin2 ασ1), (10)
while eq.(4) gives
KTK=e−i(Θ+Ψ) σ2e2Λσ3ei(Θ+Ψ) σ2. (11)
We may further simplify eq.(10) by noting that
e−iασ2eησ3eiασ2=eη(cos 2 ασ3+sin2 ασ1). (12)
This leads us to
KTK=e−iασ2(eησ3e−2ξσ(−α)eησ3)eiασ2, (13)
where σ(−α)≡cos(−2α)σ3+ sin(−2α)σ1. We therefore arrive at a simple relation from
eq.(11) and eq.(13):
e−i(Θ+Ψ −α)σ2e2Λσ3ei(Θ+Ψ −α)σ2=eησ3e−2ξσ(−α)eησ3. (14)
It is interesting to observe that, with the substitutions η→ −ξ,ξ→ −η, and α→ −α,
the right-hand side of eq.(14) is nothing but KKTin eq.(5). For this reason, we can readily
write down tan2(Θ + Ψ −α) directly from eq.(8):
tan 2(Θ + Ψ −α)≡tan2Φ =sin 2αsinh 2ξ
cosh 2 ξsinh 2η−cos 2αsinh 2ξcosh 2 η. (15)
The finite Thomas precession angle 2Ψ can therefore be expres sed in terms of ξ,η, and α:
tan2Ψ =tan 2Φ −tan2Θ + (1 + tan2Φ tan 2Θ) tan2 α
1 + tan 2Φ tan2Θ −(tan 2Φ −tan2Θ) tan2 α, (16)
3where tan2Θ and tan 2Φ are given in eq.(8) and eq.(15), respec tively.
We next check our result under infinitesimal Lorentz transfo rmations. Let −2/vector η= 2/vectorξ+δ/vectorξ
andα≪1 for simplicity, where |δ/vectorξ| ≃ |2/vectorξ||2α| ≪ |2/vectorξ|. Note that Θ, Φ, and Ψ, become
infinitesimal as well. To first order in δξ, sinh 2 η≃sinh 2ξ+δξcosh 2 ξand cosh 2 η≃
cosh 2 ξ+δξsinh 2ξ. Eq.(8) then becomes
tan 2Θ ≃2Θ≃2α
δξsinh 2η≃2α
δξ(sinh 2 ξ+δξcosh 2 ξ), (17)
while eq.(15) yields
tan2Φ ≃2Φ≃2α
δξsinh 2ξ. (18)
The infinitesimal Thomas precession angle about ˆ yfollows immediately:
2Ψ≃2(α−Θ + Φ) ≃2α(1−cosh 2 ξ). (19)
To compare eq.(19) with the result in Ref.2, we note that /vectorβandδ/vectorβin Ref.2 are simply
2/vectorξandδ/vectorξ, respectively. We then write cosh 2 ξ≡γand sinh 2 ξ≡γ(2ξ). From Ref.2,
∆/vectorΩ =−γ2
γ+ 1(/vectorβ×δ/vectorβ)≃−γ2
γ+ 1|2/vectorξ||δ/vectorξ|ˆy
= (−2α)γ2(2ξ)2
1 +γˆy= 2α(cosh 2 ξ−1)ˆy
(20)
Therefore, to the first order in δξ, eq.(16) reduces to
2Ψ≃ −∆Ω. (21)
where ∆Ω is the rotated angle in Ref.2. The minus sign in the ab ove equation arises from
the fact that 2Ψ in our formulation is the rotated angle assoc iated with the third boost,
while the angle ∆Ω in Ref.2 associates with the combined boos ts.
It is also worthwhile to examine the role played by Thomas pre cession angle as two boosts
are combined in reverse order. One notes from eq.(3) and eq.( 4),
e−ξσ3eησα=eΛσΘeiΨσ2, (22)
where σα≡cos 2ασ3+ sin 2 ασ1, and σΘ≡cos 2Θ σ3+ sin 2Θ σ1. It follows that
e−ξσ3eησαe−iΨσ2=eΛσΘ. (23)
Note that σ1andσ3are symmetric while σ2is antisymmetric:
(eΛσΘ)T=eΛσΘ=e−ξσ3eησαe−iΨσ2. (24)
After taking the transpose, the left-hand side of eq.(23) be comes
4eiΨσ2eησαe−ξσ3.
We thus reach the relation:
eiΨσ2eησαe−ξσ3eiΨσ2=e−ξσ3eησα. (25)
The combination of two boosts, exp( −ξσ3) exp(ησα), is related to its reverse,
exp(ησα) exp(−ξσ3), by two identical rotations, eiΨσ2. In other words, operating the same
rotations on a reference frame before and after two boosts ca n bring this frame to another ref-
erence frame which is reached by the same two boosts in revers e order. The angle associates
with this particular rotation is the Thomas precession angl e.
In this note, we showed how the use of Pauli matrices can provi de a general and effective
way of solving the problem of combining finite Lorentz transf ormations. This advantage is
illustrated through the derivation and a physical interpre ting of the finite Thomas precession
angle.

P-V-T equation of state of MgSiO 3perovskite from molecular
dynamics and constraints on lower mantle composition

Abstract
The composition of the lower mantle can be investigated by ex amining densities and seismic
velocities of compositional models as functions of depth. I n order to do this, it is necessary to
know the volumes and thermoelastic properties of the compos itional constituents under lower
mantle conditions. We determined the thermal equation of st ate (EoS) of MgSiO 3perovskite
using the non-empirical VIB interatomic potential with mol ecular dynamics simulations at
pressures and temperatures of the lower mantle. We fit our P-V -T results to a thermal EoS of
the form P(V, T) =P0(V, T0) + ∆Pth(T), where T0= 300 K and P0is the isothermal Universal
EoS. The thermal pressure ∆ Pthcan be represented by a linear relationship ∆ Pth=a+bT. We
findV0= 165.40 ˚A3,KT0= 273 GPa, K′
T0= 3.86, a= -1.99 GPa, and b= 0.00664 GPa/K for
pressures of 0-140 GPa and temperatures of 300-3000 K. By fixi ngV0to the experimentally
determined value of 162.49 ˚A3and calculating density and bulk sound velocity profiles alo ng a
lower mantle geotherm, we find that the lower mantle cannot co nsist solely of (Mg,Fe)SiO 3
perovskite with X Mgranging from 0.9-1.0. Using pyrolitic compositions of 67 mo l% perovskite
(XMg= 0.93-0.96) and 33 mol% magnesiow¨ ustite (X Mg= 0.82-0.86), however, we obtained
density and velocity profiles that are in excellent agreemen t with seismological models for a
reasonable geotherm.

Introduction
By comparing density and seismic velocity profiles
of compositional with seismological models, it is pos-
sible to investigate the composition of the Earth’s
lower mantle. Therefore, an understanding of the
high pressure, high temperature properties and equa-
tion of state (EoS) of (Mg,Fe)SiO 3perovskite is vi-
tal to our understanding of the lower mantle, as this
mineral accounts for perhaps two-thirds of the miner-
alogy of this region [ Bina, 1998], and one-third of the
volume of the entire planet. Experiments have been
performed up to pressures approaching those found
at the base of the mantle, but direct coverage of the
lower mantle geotherm has been limited to perhaps
the uppermost one-third (Figure 1). Experiments in- Figure 1
clude resistively heated multi-anvil apparati [ Wang
et al., 1994;Kato et al., 1995;Utsumi et al., 1995;Fu-
namori et al., 1996], diamond anvil cells (DACs) at
ambient temperature [ Kudoh et al., 1987;Ross and
Hazen, 1990], resistively heated DACs [ Mao et al.,
1991;Saxena et al., 1999], laser heated DACs [ Knittle
and Jeanloz 1987;Fiquet et al., 1998, 2000], and shock
wave experiments [ Duffy and Ahrens, 1993; Akins
and Ahrens, 1999].
Theoretical methods, such as those used here, per-
mit the investigation of thermodynamic and ther-
moelastic properties of minerals at high pressures
and temperatures. Previous theoretical work on or-
thorhombic MgSiO 3perovskite (Mg-pv) has been
done using molecular dynamics (MD) using the semi-
empirical potential of Matsui [1988] at 0-1000 K and
0-10 GPa (at 300 K) [ Matsui, 1988] and 300-5500 K
and 0-400 GPa [ Belonoshko, 1994; Belonoshko and
Dubrovinsky, 1996], and combined with lattice dy-
namics at 500-3000 K and 0-100 GPa [ Patel et al.,
1996]. Wolf and Bukowinski [1987] used a rigid ion
Modified Electron Gas (MEG) model at 0-800 K and
0-150 GPa, while Hemley et al. [1987] used a MEG
model combined with shell stabilized ion charge den-
sities at 0-2500 K and 0-200 GPa. Cohen [1987] did
quasiharmonic lattice dynamics calculations from 0-
3000 K and 0-150 GPa using the Potential Induced
Breathing (PIB) model. First principles static lattice
calculations (T = 0 K) have also been done up to
pressures of 150 GPa, using plane-wave pseudopoten-
tial (PWPP) MD [ Wentzcovitch et al., 1995] and the
Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (LAPW) method
[Stixrude and Cohen, 1993]. Karki et al. [1997] also
used the PWPP method to examine the athermal
elastic moduli of Mg-pv.In addition to the equation of state, the thermo-
dynamic stability of perovskite in the lower mantle is
an open question and has been studied with experi-
mental and theoretical methods. Work by Meade et
al.[1995], Saxena et al. [1996, 1998] and Dubrovin-
sky et al. [1998] indicate that perovskite will break
down to oxides under lower mantle conditions. The
thermodynamic analysis of Stixrude and Bukowinski
[1992] and the experimental work of Serghiou et al.
[1998], however, suggest that it will not.
We used MD simulations using the non-empirical
Variational Induced Breathing (VIB) model, similar
to the model of Wolf and Bukowinski [1988], to inves-
tigate the properties and EoS of Mg-pv at pressures
(0-140 GPa) and temperatures (300-3000 K) that
cover the bulk of the conditions found in the lower
mantle. Newton’s equations of motion are solved as
functions of time, and equilibrium properties are ob-
tained as time averages over a sufficiently long inter-
val. This accounts for all orders of anharmonicity,
but not for quantum lattice dynamics effects. Thus
our results are more appropriate at high tempera-
tures above the Debye temperature (1076 K [ An-
derson, 1998]), and entirely suitable for the Earth’s
mantle. We then used our results, combining them
with data for other components and phases where
appropriate, to calculate density and seismic veloc-
ity profiles along a geothermal gradient for different
compositional models. These profiles were then com-
pared with profiles from a reference Earth model in
order to test the compositional models’ fitness for the
lower mantle.
Method
MD simulations were performed on supercells of
540-2500 atoms of orthorhombic ( Pbnm ) Mg-pv using
the non-empirical VIB potential. VIB is a Gordon-
Kim type model [ Gordon and Kim, 1972] where
the potential is obtained by overlapping ionic charge
densities which are computed using the local den-
sity approximation (LDA) [ Hedin and Lundqvist,
1971]. The total energy is a sum of (i) the self-
energy of each atom, (ii) the long-range electrostatic
energy computed using the Ewald method, and (iii)
the short-range interaction energy, i.e.,the sum of
the kinetic, short-range electrostatic, and exchange-
correlation overlap energies from the LDA. Free oxy-
gen ions are not stable, and are stabilized in VIB by
surrounding them with Watson spheres with charges
equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the ions,3
e.g.,2+ spheres for O2−. Interactions are obtained
for overlapping ion pairs at different distances with
different Watson sphere radii for each oxygen. The
interactions are fit with a 23 parameter analytical
expression as functions of the interatomic distance r
andUi=zi/Ri, where Ui,zi, and Riare the Wat-
son sphere potential, charge, and radius for atom i.
For each oxygen i,Riis adjusted to minimize the to-
tal energy at each time step. This gives an effective
many-body potential. The oxygen ions respond to
changes in their environment. For example, they are
compressed at high pressures relative to low pressures.
Previous work on Mg-pv using the related PIB model
gave an equation of state in excellent agreement with
experiment [ Cohen, 1987]. Also, work using VIB on
MgO has shown that this model accurately predicts
EoS and thermal properties [ Inbar and Cohen, 1995].
Nominally charged ions give semi-quantitative, but
less accurate, results than desired for Mg-pv. This
is due to a small degree of covalent relative to ionic
bonding as revealed by electronic structure calcula-
tions of cubic ( Pm3m ) Mg-pv performed using the
first-principles LAPW method [ Cohen et al., 1989].
These calculations show that while the Mg is nearly
a perfectly spherical Mg2+ion, there is some charge
transfer from O to Si and a small covalent bond charge
(involving ≪0.1 electrons) between Si and O. By
varying the ionic charges on Si (3.1+ to 3.55+) and
O (1.70- to 1.85-) to account for the covalency, but
otherwise using the same methods as before, we com-
pared the resulting zero temperature pressure-volume
data to the LAPW results of Stixrude and Cohen
[1993]. The best agreement was found with Si3.4+
and O1.8−. Using these charges, the resulting poten-
tial gives excellent agreement with the octahedral ro-
tation energetics obtained using the LAPW method
[Stixrude and Cohen, 1993;Hemley and Cohen, 1996]
(Figure 2). Figure 2
MD runs were performed for 20 ps with a 1 fs
time step using a sixth order Gear predictor-corrector
scheme [ Gear, 1971] in the constant pressure-tempera-
ture ensemble using the thermostat and barostat of
Martyna et al. [1994]. Initial atomic positions for
the genesis run were the same as those for the unro-
tated octahedra of Stixrude and Cohen, [1993]. Sub-
sequent runs at higher pressures or temperatures used
the positions generated by a previous run. Statistical
ensembles were obtained in ∼2000 iterations for the
genesis run and in <1000 for subsequent ones.
We fitted P-V-T data obtained from the MD sim-ulations to a thermal EoS of the form
P(V, T) =P0(V, T0) + ∆Pth(T) (1)
with a reference temperature T0= 300 K and the
thermal pressure ∆ Pthrelative to the 300 K isotherm.
We analyzed our results using the third-order Birch-
Murnaghan isothermal EoS [ Birch, 1952]

[Anderson, 1980, 1984; Anderson and Suzuki, 1983],
which applies to a wide range of solids at high T, in-
cluding minerals, alkali metals, and noble gas solids
[Anderson, 1984]. The linearity of ∆ Pthin T starts
at 300 K [ Masuda and Anderson, 1995] in miner-
als. There should be a small anharmonic correction at
high T, which results in an additional c T2term in (6),
which is often sufficiently small so that it can be ne-
glected [ Anderson, 1984]. Indeed, including the c T2
term did not statistically improve our fits. Likewise,
neither did including volumetric compression terms
(e.g., Jackson and Rigden, [1996]).

Results
MD calculations were performed at 46 pressure-
temperature points, ranging from 0-140 GPa and 300-
3000 K, thus covering the P-T conditions of the lower
mantle (Table 1). Axial ratios b/a and c/a follow 1
smooth trends at lower mantle pressures (Figure 3a-Figure 3b), with deviations away from the Pbnm structure
seen at P ≤12 GPa and T ≥2400 K. At 3000 K
and 12 GPa, the structure can be observed to move
towards cubic lattice parameters (b/a →1, c/a →√
2 ). This point in particular is close to the melting
curve of Mg-pv [ Heinz and Jeanloz, 1987;Knittle and
Jeanloz 1989; Poirier, 1989] and such temperature-
induced phase transitions have been predicted for Mg-
pv by MD [ Wolf and Bukowinski, 1987] and lattice
dynamics [ Matsui and Price, 1991]. In addition, it
has been found for RbCaF 3and KMnF 3perovskites
by MD simulations [ Lewis and L´ epine, 1989; Nos´ e
and Klein, 1989], and observed experimentally in the
fluoride perovskite neighborite (NaMgF 3) [Chao et
al.,1961]. Regardless of these changes, the volumes
are well-behaved as functions of pressure and temper-
ature (Figure 3c) and no other structural anomalies
or melting were encountered during runs at other P,T
points.
The resulting P-V-T EoS fits and their reduced
χ2values are given in Table 2. Both the Birch- 2
Murnaghan and Universal EoSs are in excellent agree-
ment with experimental results. As for the accuracyof our thermal pressure expression, RMS differences
between volumes found using equation (1) for either
EoS and those found using isothermal EoSs are on
the order of 10−3˚A3. As for the differences between
the two equation of state forms, Jeanloz [1988] com-
pared them over moderate compressions and found
that they are quite similar. More recent work by Co-
hen et al. [2000] supports this, but they found that for
large ( >30%) strains and for determining parameters
such as V0, KT0,andK′
T0, the Universal EoS works
best, and so, for the rest of our analyses, we use that
here. However, given that under the pressure range
studied, compressions will be no greater that 25%,
so we can confidently compare our results with those
of others that were found with the Birch-Murnaghan
EoS.
Once we determined the EoS parameters, we de-
termined volumes for Mg-pv over a wide P-T range
(-10-150 GPa, 0-3300 K). Using this extended data
set, we were determined the isothermal bulk modu-

at those points, and α,δT,γ,

found by the inversion of multiple experimental data
sets, -0.021 GPa/K [ Jackson and Rigden, 1996].
Figure 4 shows αat pressures from 0 to 140 GPa. Figure 4
Experimental results shown have higher T slopes, as
well as higher extrapolated values for most tempera-
tures, though an average value found by Jackson and
Rigden [1996] at zero GPa of 2 .6×10−5K−1over 300-
1660 K matches our value over the same T range ex-
actly. Kato et al. [1995] found an average value of
2.0±0.4×10−5K−1over 298-1473 K and 25 GPa,
close to our average value of 1 .89×10−5K−1at the
same conditions. The lack of quantum effects in our
MD results can be seen at low temperatures; instead
of tending towards zero at zero temperature, αre-
mains large. δTincreases with T, but decreases as
P increases (Figure 5). The dependency of δTon T Figure 5
decreases as a function of P, with convergence to a
value of 2.87 at ∼130 GPa, similar to the high pres-
sure behavior in MgO found by the same MD method
[Inbar and Cohen, 1995]. Our value of δT= 3.79 at
ambient conditions is in excellent agreement with the
experimentally derived value of Wang et al. [1994] of
3.73, though it is lower than the value of 4.5, found by
Masuda and Anderson [1995] from the experimental
data of Utsumi et al. [1995]. Other theoretical deter-
minations of δTare much higher, however. Hama and5
Suito [1998a] found a value of 5.21, based on calcula-
tions using the LAPW results of Stixrude and Cohen
[1993] and the Debye approximation for lattice vibra-
tion. Using MD and semi-empirical potentials [ Mat-
sui,1988], Belonoshko and Dubrovinsky [1996] found
δT= 5.80, and Patel et al. [1996] found δT= 7.0 us-
ing the same potentials, combining MD with lattice
dynamics. Anderson [1998], using Debye theory, cal-
culated zero pressure values ranging from 4.98 at 400
K to∼4 at 1000 K ≤T≤1800 K, coming close to
our values at those temperatures.
The Gr¨ uneisen parameter also increases as a func-
tion of T and decreases as a function of P, and ap-
proaches a value of 1 at pressures of 130-140 GPa (Fig-
ure 6). Our value of 1.33 at zero P and 300 K matches Figure 6
well with Wang et al.’s [1994] value of 1.3 and Utsumi
et al.’s [1995]/ Masuda and Anderson’s [1995] value of
1.45. Stixrude et al. [1992], using the experimental
data of Mao et al. [1991], found a higher value of γ
= 1.96. Values determined by the inversion of multi-
ple experimentally determined P-V-T data sets match
well also: 1.5 [ Bina, 1995], 1.33 [ Jackson and Rigden,
1996], and 1.42 [ Shim and Duffy, 2000]. Two shock
wave studies find a value of 1.5 [ Duffy and Ahrens,
1993;Akins and Ahrens, 1999] based on limited data
sets: four for the former (with qfixed equal to 1)
and two for the latter. Values of γfrom theoretical
studies range from very close to ours, 1.279 [ Hama
and Suito, 1998a] and 1.44 [ Hemley et al., 1987], to
1.97 [Belonoshko and Dubrovinsky, 1996;Patel et al.,
1996]. Anderson’s [1998] zero pressure, 300 K value
of 1.52 is somewhat higher than ours, but at 400-1800
K his values of ∼1.4 are very close to ours.
The volume dependence of γ,q, is 1.03 at 300 K
(Figure 7). Our equation of state form, with ∆ Pth Figure 7
linear in T and independent of volume, constrains q
= 1 if the isochoric heat capacity CV= 3nR, the clas-
sical harmonic value. As T increases, we find that q
increases to a value of 1.07 at 3000 K due to anhar-
monicity. Values from inverted experimental data sets
range from 1.0 [ Bina, 1995] to 2.0 [ Shim and Duffy,
2000]. Stixrude et al. [1992] found a high qvalue
of 2.5 to go along with their value for γ.Akins and
Ahrens’s [1999] value was even higher, q= 4.0±1.0
withCV= 5nR, but these are preliminary conclu-
sions based on limited data. Patel et al. [1996] found
a value of 3.0 at 0 GPa, decreasing to 1.7 at 100 GPa
using a combination of molecular and lattice dynam-
ics.Anderson’s [1998] Debye calculations gave val-
ues close to unity at T ≥1000 K, with qdecreasing
slightly with increasing T, to 0.82 at 1800 K.Discussion and Conclusions
Taking sets of experimental P-V-T data, we fit the
high temperature data [ Fiquet et al., 1998, 2000; Sax-
ena et al., 1999] and available experimental MgSiO 3
data to our thermal Universal EoS form (Table 2) in
order to have consistent bases for comparison. The
resulting fits have higher statistical uncertainties but
compare well with our results. Volumes calculated
along the lower mantle geothermal gradient of Brown
and Shankland [1981], which has a starting T of 1873
K at 670 km (Figure 1), show that those calculated
from our EoS are 3 to 4 ˚A3per unit cell larger, about
2.5%, than those calculated from the inverted experi-
mental data sets (Figure 8). This corresponds to den- Figure 8
sity differences of ∼0.1 g/cm3. This is the opposite
of the typical error of the local density approximation
to density functional theory, on which our method is
based. The larger volume is due to the choice of ionic
charges and other model assumptions. If we fix V 0
to the experimentally determined value of 162.49 ˚A3
[Mao et al., 1991], but otherwise use our EoS param-
eters, our calculated volumes are very close, within
1%, to the volumes derived from the inverted exper-
imental data sets. The comparisons also improve as
pressure increases. To compare our model with other
zero temperature theoretically-derived EoSs, we cal-
culated volumes at 0 K from 0-140 GPa and fit an
isothermal Universal EoS to them (Table 3). Table 3
Compositional models of the lower mantle can
be tested against seismological models by examin-
ing densities and seismic wave velocities as func-
tions of depth. Candidates include pyrolite [ Ring-
wood, 1975] and chondritic or pure perovskite models.
Studies support both the former [ Bina and Silver,
1990; Stacey, 1996] and latter [ Butler and Ander-
son,1978;Stixrude et al., 1992], though uncertainties
in the thermodynamic parameters of the constituent
minerals make it difficult to resolve this question with
certainty. Indeed, several studies have been able
to support both models depending on whether high
(pure perovskite) or low (pyrolite) values of αandδT
orγandqare used [ Zhao and Anderson, 1994;An-
derson et al., 1995;Karki and Stixrude, 1999].
Calculating the densities of Mg-pv along a geother-
mal gradient [ Brown and Shankland, 1981] (Fig-
ure 9a), we see that they are ∼0.25 g/cm3(∼5%) too Figure 9
low compared with the ak135-f seismological model
[Kennett et al., 1995;Montagner and Kennett, 1996].
The calculated bulk sound velocities, Vϕ=/radicalbig
KS/ρ,
where KS=KT(1 +γα T), are, in turn, ∼0.6-0.76
km/s (7-8%) too high (Figure 9b). Using the experi-
mentally determined value of V0= 162.49 ˚A3[Mao et
al.,1991] in place of our calculated value does increase
the densities somewhat, but not enough to match the
ak135-f values.
As the perovskite found in the lower mantle should
be a solid solution of the Mg and Fe end-members, we
added iron by adjusting density by
ρ(XFe) =ρ(0)(1 + 0 .269XFe) (12)
[Jeanloz and Thompson, 1983], but did not change
the bulk moduli [ Mao et al., 1991]. Including 10
mol% Fe does cause densities to agree with the seis-
mological values (Figure 10a), but the bulk sound ve- Figure 10
locities are still much too high (Figure 10b). Conse-
quently, we find that the lower mantle cannot consist
solely of (Mg,Fe)SiO 3perovskite.
We also tested pyrolitic compositions consisting
of mixtures of perovskite and magnesiow¨ ustite (mw).
Densities of mw were calculated using the thermody-
namic data set of Fei et al. [1991], as well as KTs for
the Mg end-member. KSs were then calculated using
the relation
α(P, T) =α(P0, T)/bracketleftbiggV(P, T)
V(P0, T)/bracketrightbiggδT
, (13)
withδTandγfromInbar and Cohen [1995]. Iron was
accounted for in KSvia the relationship
KS(XFe) =KS(0) + 17 XFe (14)
[Jeanloz and Thompson, 1983]. X Mg= 0.93-0.96
for pv and 0.82-0.86 for mw [ Katsura and Ito, 1996;
Martinez et al., 1997] were used. Densities and bulk
sound velocities were calculated using Voigt-Reuss-
Hill averaging for two simplified pyrolite models (high
[1] and low [2] Fe content) consisting of 67 mol% pv
and 33 mol% mw and were found to be in excellent
agreement with the seismological model. (Figure 11). Figure 11
The two pyrolite models have partitioning coefficients
Kpv−mw
Fe−Mgof 0.34 and 0.26, where
Kpv−mw
Fe−Mg=Xpv
Fe/Xpv

Mg. (15)
Experimental evidence suggests that for such a bulk
composition, Kpv−mw
Fe−Mgshould increase in the mantle
from∼0.20 (660 km) to ∼0.35 (1500 km), with Xpv
Mg
decreasing and Xmw
Mgincreasing with depth [ Mao et
al.,1997]. Compositional models with high Fe con-
tent of pv and low Fe content of mw (and vice-versa)fall in-between the results of those shown in Figure
11. Given the range of Fe-Mg partitioning between
perovskite and magnesiow¨ ustite under the appropri-
ate pressure and temperature conditions, we find py-
rolite to be the most likely compositional model for
the lower mantle.
Given that other components (Al, Fe3+) and phases
(CaSiO 3perovskite) should be present in the lower
mantle, we do not expect exact agreement of a sim-
plified pyrolite model with any seismological model.
It is believed that, under lower mantle conditions,
Al2O3is mainly incorporated into the Mg-pv struc-
ture [Irifune, 1994;Wood, 2000]. Generally, the effect
of the incorporation of Al into Mg-pv on its physical
properties has been considered small, e.g., Weidner
and Wang [1998]. However, Al, unlike Fe, causes
significant distortion in the Mg-pv lattice [ O’Neill
and Jeanloz, 1994], which may affect the compress-
ibility. Recent experimental work by Zhang and Wei-
dner[1999], at pressure of up to 10 GPa and tempera-
tures of up to 1073 K, indicates that, compared with
MgSiO 3, Mg-pv with 5 mol% Al has a smaller K T
value (232-236 GPa) and a ( ∂KT/∂T)Pvalue more
than double that in magnitude. The values for α0,
(∂α/∂T )P, andδTare also larger. Smaller bulk mod-
uli and the higher density (0.2% at 300 K and 0 GPa)
would cause seismic velocities to decrease. In addi-
tion, the presence of Al tends to equalize the par-
titioning of Fe into perovskite and magnesiow¨ ustite
and may allow garnet to coexist with perovskite in
the uppermost ∼100 km of the lower mantle [ Wood
and Rubie, 1996; Wood, 2000]. These partitioning
experiments, however, were done at high fO2, so it
is uncertain how applicable they are to the mantle.
The effect of the presence of Fe3+in Mg-pv on the
EoS and elasticity, while known for defect concentra-
tions and electrostatic charge balance [ McCammon,
1997, 1998], is unknown. As for Ca-pv, experimental
data suggest that its elastic properties are in excel-
lent agreement with seismological models, and thus
would be invisible in the lower mantle [ Wang et al.,
1996;Hama and Suito, 1998b].
Performing MD calculations over the range pres-
sures and temperatures found in the Earth’s mantle,
we find a thermal EoS that is in excellent agreement
with experimental results. Thermodynamic parame-
ters can be derived that agree well with experimen-
tally determined values and that can be confidently
interpolated to conditions found in the lower mantle.
Moreover, no solid-solid phase transitions or melting
were found during the runs under lower mantle condi-7
tions, so orthorhombic MgSiO 3perovskite should be
stable to the core-mantle boundary. Using these re-
sults, we find that pyrolite with Kpv−mw
Fe−Mg= 0.26-0.34
is the most likely compositional model for the lower
mantle.

Abstract
Optical properties of symmetry-forbidden π-π∗transitions in benzene are calculated
with the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) , using an adiabatic LDA
functional. Quantities calculated are the envelopes of the Franck-Condon factors of
the vibrationally promoted transitions and the associated oscillator strengths. The
strengths, which span three orders of magnitude, are reprod uced to better than a factor
of two by the theory. Comparable agreement is found for the Fr anck-Condon widths.
We conclude that rather detailed information can be obtaine d with the TDDFT and it
may be worthwhile to explore other density functionals.
The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) has p roven to be a surprisingly
successful theory of excitations and particularly the opti cal absorption strength function.
The theory is now being widely applied in both chemistry and i n condensed matter physics.
The literature in quantum chemistry is cited in a recent stud y on the electronic excitations
in benzene [1]. Benzene is an interesting molecule for testi ng approximations because its
spectra have been very well characterized, both electronic and vibrational. In this note we
will apply the TDDFT to coupling between vibrational and ele ctronic excitations. In our
previous studies, we have investigated many different elect ronic structure questions using a
rather simple version of the density functional theory, the local density approximation (LDA).
Our emphasis has been to study the overall predictive power o f a fixed functional rather than
to try to find the best functional for each properties. The app roximation scheme we consider
is straightforward and uses the same computer programs as fo r calculating purely electronic
excitations. We treat the electronic dynamics in the adiaba tic approximation, taking the
same energy function for the dynamic equation as is used in th e static structure calculation.
In our view, this is the only consistent scheme available tha t guarantees conservation of the
oscillator sum rule. The electron-vibration coupling is tr eated in a vertical approximation,
so only information at frozen nuclear coordinates is requir ed.

Figure 1: Electronic excitations of benzene in the π-π∗manifold. Besides the experimental
data and the present TDDFT, we show the TDDFT of ref. [1] and th e CI calculation of ref.
[2]
We consider only spin-singlet states in this work and drop th e spin designation in labeling
the states. Empirically, the lowest states derive from the π-π∗manifold, exciting an electron
from the two-fold degenerate e1gHOMO orbital to the two-fold degenerate e2uorbital. The
four states consist of a strongly absorbing two-fold degene rateE1uexcitation and two other
states, B1uandB2u, for which symmetry forbids any transition strength. This b asic spectrum
is shown in Fig. 1, comparing also with our TDDFT calculation , the TDDFT calculation of
ref. [1], and the CI theory of ref. [2].
It is seen that the TDDFT gives an excellent account of the ene rgies. In fact the TDDFT
gives a good description of the higher frequency absorption including σ-σ∗transitions as
well [3]. The detailed optical properties of the three trans itions have been studied gas phase
absorption [4, 5]. The strong transition is the E1uwithf= 0.9−0.95. The B1umode is
seen as a shoulder on the strong E1upeak. Its total transition strength is about a factor of
10 lower than the strong state; ref. [4] quotes a value f= 0.09. The B2utransition is very
weak and is seen as a partially resolved set of vibrational tr ansitions with a total strength
about f≈1.3×10−3[4]. The strength associated with the most prominent resolv ed states is
0.6×10−3[5].
The vibrational couplings of the Bstates has been recently studied using the CASSCF
method and analytic expressions for the linear coupling to v ibrations[6], and we shall compare
with their results. The TDDFT includes correlation effects i n a different way, and has some
well-known advantages such as the automatic conservation o f required sum rules. Also, as
mentioned earlier, the present method does not require any r eprogramming.
For our treatment of the vibrational motion, we assume that t he the vibrations are har-
2monic in the electronic ground state. The Hamiltonian may be defined

where qiare the 36 Cartesian displacement coordinates of the 12 atom ic centers, mis the

where

is the r.m.s. amplitude of the zero-point motion1. The last equality expresses the formula in
common units with ncm=c/νthe energy of the vibration in wavenumbers [cm−1].
The optical absorption strength function in the presence of the zero point motion is
determined by the convolution the probability distributio n of displacements with the strength
calculated as a function of displacement,

We thus need the absorption strength as a function of the norm al mode coordinates Qk. In
the case of a forbidden transition promoted by the vibration k, the coupling is linear for small
displacements and the transition strength will be quadrati c inQk,
f(Qk) =f0kQ2

We verify below that this functional dependence is satisfied for the couplings of interest in
benzene. Then the convolution over the ground state probabi lity distribution gives simply
f=f0k.
We also consider widths of the transitions due to the Franck- Condon factors of multiply
excited vibrations. This is calculated by replacing fwith the strength function S(E, Q) =
f(Q)δ(E−E(Q)) in eq. 3. Assuming that the excitation energy is linear in Q,
E(Qk)≈E0+KkQk/Q0k+...
the Gaussian probability distribution Pgives a Gaussian envelope for the Franck-Condon

For the numerical studies reported here, we constructed the transformation matrix U
using the empirical force field of Goodman and Ozkabak [7], wh ich fits the observed frequen-
cies extremely well. Ab initio calculations of the force field have also reached a high level of
accuracy [9]. However, as mentioned earlier, we do not make o ur own DFT calculations of the
force constants because our goal is the dynamic behavior of t he electrons. The frequencies
and symmetries of the normal modes are listed in Table 1, take n from ref. [7]. The most
important modes for the induced transition strengths are th eE2gand the B2gmodes2. The
E2gvibrations couple the strong electronic excitation to the o ther states in the π-π∗mani-
fold. The B1gcan induce out-of-plane dipole strength for these excitati ons. The theoretical
widths of the excitations are largely due to mode 1, which is a nA1gradial oscillation mode
that favors carbon displacements. In Fig. 2 we show the Carte sian displacements associated
with the two strongest E2gmodes with respect to carbon displacements.
The present TDDFT calculations were performed making use of the same representation
of the Kohn-Sham operator as in our previous study of the full energy distribution in optical
absorption [3]. The wave functions are represented on a coor dinate-space mesh as has been
introduced in condensed matter physics [ ?]. However, the algorithm in the present program
is a new one [10] that uses the conjugate gradient method to ex tract individual states rather
that the direct real-time propagation of the wave function. While the real-time method is very
efficient for calculating the global strength function, it is less suited for locating individual
eigenstates when they are weakly excited by the dipole opera tor. In both methods, the
electronic ground state for a given nuclear geometry is first computed with the Kohn-Sham

of that symmetry.

We use a simple LDA energy density functional [12] for the ele ctron-electron interaction in V
and a pseudopotential approximation [13, 14] to treat the in teraction of the valence electrons
with the ions. The important numerical parameters in the cal culation are the the mesh
spacing, taken as ∆ x= 0.3˚A, and the volume in which the wave functions are calculated,
which we take as a sphere of radius 7 ˚A. With these parameters, orbital energies are converged
to better than 0.05 eV. Next the TDDFT equations are solved in an representation similar

The equations are solved by the conjugate gradient method fo r the generalized eigenvalue
problem [11]. In Fig. 4 we show the dependence of transition s trengths fand excitation
energies ωon the coordinates of two of the normal modes. We see that the c onditions for
applying eq. (4) and (5) are reasonably well satisfied. We may then extract the transition
strength f0kand the width Kkby fitting the Qk-dependence of these quantities. The results
for the symmetry-allowed vibrations are shown in shown in Ta ble 2.
We first discuss the widths. The empirical values were obtain ed by making a three-term
Gaussian fit to the absorption data of ref. [15]. The only vibr ations that contribute in lowest
5order are the two A1gbreathing modes. The vibrations affect all three transition s identically;
mode 1 has the larger amplitude of displacement of the carbon atoms and gives the greater
contribution. The results agree rather well with the empiri cal widths. The magnitude of the
widths and its independence of the electronic state can be un derstood in very simple terms
with the Hueckel model. This is to be expected, since the exci tation energy of the electronic
states is mainly due to the orbital energy difference, and tha t is describe quite well by the
Hueckel model. For benzene, the energy difference is related to the hopping matrix element β
byELUMO−EHOMO = 2β.. Allowing changes in the nuclear coordinates, the hopping m atrix
element will depend on the distance between neighboring ato msd; this may be parameterized
by the form
β(d) =β0/parenleftBiggd0

Then the HOMO-LUMO gap fluctuates due to the breathing mode vi brations with widths

anA1gmode. From fitting orbital energies in various conjugated ca rbon systems one may
extract values α≈2.7 and β0= 2.5 eV[3]. Inserting these values in the above equation, one
obtains 0.145 eV for the widths associated with mode 1, quite close to the values obtained by
TDDFT. We have included in the table also the r.m.s. widths of the Franck-Condon factors
obtained by the CASSCF theory, which gives quite similar res ults. One thing should be
remarked on the comparison with experiment. While the theor y gives practically identical
widths for all three states, the experimental strength is si gnificantly narrower for the the E1u
excitation, and this seems to not be understandable in the TD DFT.
Next we examine the transition strengths of the B-transitions induced by the zero-point
vibational motion. In the middle table of Table 2 we show the c ontributions by the six active
vibrational modes. The main contribution for the B2utransition comes from mode 6. This
is also found in the CASSCF theory, and is how the observed spe ctrum was interpreted in
[5]. In the case of the B1uexcitation, the TDDFT predicts that the coupling of mode 8 is
dominant. Experimentally, the situation is unclear becaus e the vibrational spectrum of the
excited state is strongly perturbed. Ref. [5] assigns both m ode 6 and mode 8 vibrational
involvement. Irrespective of the spectrum of the vibration al modes in the excited state, the
total transition strength is given by the same convolution o f the ground state vibrational wave
function. As in the case of the widths, the induced B1utransition strength can be understood
roughly with the tight-binding model. The charge densities are displaced in the vibration,
giving the B1uconfiguration an induced dipole moment just from the atomic g eometry. The
Hueckel Hamiltonian of the orbital energy is also affected by the changed separations between
carbons, and that cause a violation of the B1usymmetry. Finally, the Coulomb interaction,
which is mainly responsible for the splitting of the three el ectronic states, is affected by the
changed separations. Of these three mechanisms, only the eff ect of the symmetry-violation in
the Hueckel Hamiltonian is important, and mode 8 crries the l argest flutuation in d. Taking
the same d-dependence as before, the strength obtained in the tight-b inding model is 0.05,
rather close to the TDDFT result. The tight-binding model ca nnot be used to estimate the
very weak B2utransition because the charge density on the atoms is identi cally zero.
6The lower table gives the empirical transition strengths [4 ] and comparison to theory.
The agreement between theory and experiment is quite good fo r all states. For the weakest
transition, the B1u, the TDDFT gives a transition strength 25% higher than the em pirical
For the case of the B1utransition, the TDDFT prediction is within 35% of the measur ed
value. We also show the previously reported value for the E1uwhich is within 20%. We
consider this remarkable success of the TDDFT considering t hat the strengths that range
over three orders of magnitude.
In conclusion, we have shown that the TDDFT gives a semiquant itative account of the
effect of zero-point vibrational motion on the optical absor ption spectrum in benzene. In this
respect this extends the possible domain of utility from the region of infrared absorption,
where it is known that the TDDFT gives a description of transi tion strengths accurate to a
factor of two or so[16]. We are encouraged by these results to apply the TDDFT to other
problems involving the electron-vibrational coupling. Pe rhaps it should be mentioned that
not all excitation properties are reproduced so well in the T DDFT. In particular, one can not
expect accurate numbers for HOMO-LUMO gap of insulators [18 ] and the optical rotatory
power of chiral molecules [19]. Of course, there may be bette r energy functionals for studying
particular properties, and it might be interesting to exami ne theories including gradient terms
in the functional.

A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON CANCER *
Rafael D. Sorkin
Department of Physics, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 1 3244-1130, U.S.A.
internet address: sorkin@physics.syr.edu
Abstract
It is proposed that cancer results from the breakdown of univ ersal con-
trol mechanisms which developed in mutual association as pa rt of the
historical process that brought individual cells together into multi-cellular
communities. By systematically comparing the genomes of un i-celled with
multi-celled organisms, one might be able to identify the mo st promising
sites for intervention aimed at restoring the damaged contr ol mechanisms
and thereby arresting the cancer.
More or less by definition, a cancerous cell is one that grows a nd reproduces uncon-
trollably. Of course, this characterization presupposes t hat the cell in question lives within
a multi-celled organism — a community of cells. The identica l behavior would appear
perfectly normal for a cell existing in isolation.
But there is more to cancer than uncontrolled growth; for thi s behavior occurs in
association with another trait which — in itself — would not s eem to be related to growth
at all: loss of differentiation. Why should a “histologic” ch aracteristic like (lack of) dif-
ferentiation be correlated in this way with a “dynamical” ch aracteristic like growth rate?
I believe that, far from being necessary for reasons of bioch emistry or cellular dynamics,
this association is historical in origin.
Let us try to imagine the transformation that took place when the first multicellular
organisms coalesced from collections of cells living in rel ative isolation from each other.
* The main idea exposed herein occurred to me some 20 years ago . I tried once to get
it published, but failed. After some hesitation, I am postin g it here in the hope that the
historical viewpoint it utilizes may still be of some use to p eople trying to understand
cancer.
1Aside from the mutual “solidarity” of its members, such a com munity of cells has the
advantage that different cells can specialize in different ta sks and collectively accomplish
all these tasks more effectively than any individual cell cou ld by itself. In other words,
a division of labor becomes possible (specialized tissues, specialized organs, etc.) But
for such an arrangement to function, the relative multiplic ities of the cells with different
specializations must be suitable, which in practice means c ontrolling their absolute numbers
as well. To participate in such a community, then, a cell need s (at least ) the ability to
specialize itself for a range of functions and the ability to regulate its rate of reproduction
as needed: precisely the features whose absence typifies the disease of cancer.
It seems clear that, in order to provide these twin abilities , new biological “machinery”
would have been required, either at the cellular level, or th e supercellular level, or both.
Furthermore, since the required mechanisms must have arise n in association with one
another as part of the same historical process (a process pre sumably occupying an extended
period of time), it would be natural for them to overlap and sh are components to a great
extent. That is, there should have developed, in some measur e, only a single (and universal)
mechanism responsible on one hand for regulating growth and on the other hand for
producing functional differentiation. Cancer would then re sult from the breakdown of this
mechanism. From this perspective, cancer would not be a dise ase like measles, caused
by the presence of some pathogen or some actively harmful abnormality, but a disease
of deficiency like scurvy, caused by the absence or the failure of some mechanism that is
present in normal cells (or normal tissue). It would be the co nsequent regression , on the
part of the tumor cells, to an earlier, pre-social form of beh avior.
The focus for finding a cure (or for prevention) would thus shi ft from removing the
abnormality to restoring the missing or damaged machinery, and a strategy of trying to
destroy the defective cells would be less likely to succeed t han one of providing them
with “replacement parts” for their damaged control mechani sms. How this could be done
would naturally depend on the nature of the defect, but one mi ght imagine, for example,
delivering the replacement parts by means of retro-viruses or similar agents. With luck,
such replacement parts would not harm healthy tissue, and he nce they (unlike traditional
chemotherapeutic agents) could be introduced in numbers su fficient to reach all the cells
they needed to reach.
2Before it could be repaired, however, the relevant “machine ry” would have to be
identified. Here a plausible concomitant of the postulated h istorical transition to communal
life becomes relevant, namely the universality of the control mechanisms that evolved then.
Assuming that the transition to multi-celled organisms was a prolonged process, one would
expect the control mechanisms that developed in its course t o be shared by all, or almost all,
multi-celled forms. Conversely, uni-celled organisms sho uld lack these control mechanisms.
To test this idea, one could compare the genomes of one-celle d organisms with those of
multi-celled organisms susceptible to cancer, searching f or genes, or sequences thereof, that
were universally present in the latter and absent in the form er. These genes (or sequences)
would then be the ones responsible for the postulated contro l mechanisms. Moreover, the
oldest such genes (or sequences), would furnish better candidates than the newer ones,
assuming that age could be identified reliably. Any attempt t o develop a “gene therapy”
or diagnostic test for cancer could then focus on the compone nts of the genome identified
in this way.
Of course, it might be overly optimistic to expect that the po stulated control mech-
anisms could be identified simply with some well delineated p ortion of a cell’s genome.
They might involve non-genetic components whose failure wa s not occasioned by genetic
mutations. On the other hand, one knows that genetic change i s involved in cancer and
that, in particular, there is a close correlation between mu tagenicity and carcinogenicity.
Given these facts, it does not seem too much to hope that the re quired “social skills”
are coded into universal portions of the genome which could b e identified and catalogued.
Conversely, the failure to discover such portions would con stitute evidence against the
historical explanation of cancer put forward in this articl e.

arXiv reference: http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/ physics/0011003 Newton’s aether model
Eric Baird (eric_baird@compuserve.com)
Isaac Newton is usually associated with the idea of absolute space and time, and with
ballistic light -corpuscle arguments. However, Newton was also a proponent of
wave/particle duality, and pub lished a “new” variable -density aether model in which light
and matter trajectories were either bent by gravitational fields, or deflected by an aether
density gradient. Newton’s (flawed) aether model can be considered as an early attempt at a
curved -space model of gravity.
1. Introduction
Modern textbooks typically say that Newton
believed that space and time were absolute and
inviolable. However, a reading of Newton’s
“Principia” [ 1] and “Opticks” [ 2] reveals a
rather different picture, with Optiks in
particular documenting Newton’s attempt to
produce a model of gravity in which a
gravitational field could be represented as a
series of light -distance differentials, or as a
variation in lightspeed or refractive index. This
can be compared to Einstein’s “ref ractive”
approach to gravitational light -bending in 1911
( [3] §4 ) and to his description of general
relativity as a (nonparticulate!) gravitational
aether model in 1920 [ 4][5].
We briefly look at some of the features of
Newton’s model, the mistake that doomed it to
obscurity [ 6], and some of the consequences of
this mistake on the subsequent development of
physics.
2. Absolute space?
In “Principia”, Newton was careful to
distinguish between relative space and time ,
which were to be defined by observations a nd
instrument readings, and absolute space and
time, which were to relate to more abstract (and
possibly arbitrary) quantities that might or
might not have an identifiable grounding in
physical reality. Finite -lightspeed effects had
already been seen in th e timing offsets in the
orbits of Jupiter’s moons, so this distinction
was important. Newton insisted that the words
“space” and “time” should by default refer to
“absolute” (deduced, mathematical) quantities
rather than their “apparent” counterparts, but
statements from Newton regarding “absolute
space” and “absolute time” do not automatically
mean that Newton believed that directly -
measurable distances and physical clock -rates
were also absolute – (Principia, Definitions:
“… the natural days are truly une qual, though
they are commonly considered as equal … it
may well be that there is no such thing as an
equable motion, whereby time may be
accurately measured. ”). In “Opticks”, Newton’s idealised absolute space
is occupied by a “new” form of medium whose
density depends on gravitational properties,
with variations in aether density producing the
effects that would otherwise be described as the
results of a gravitational field. The resulting
metric associates a gravitational field with
signal flight -time di fferences ( see: Shapiro
effect) that deflect light, leading to a normalised
lightbeam -geometry that is not Euclidean. Since
these effects are described in modern theory as
the effects of curved space, it seems reasonable
to interpret Newton’s “absolute spa ce” as an
absolute Euclidean embedding -space that acts
as a container for non -Euclidean geometry,
rather than as an indication that Newton
believed that gravity had no effect on measured
or perceived distances, times, or “effective”
geometrical relationshi ps.
3. Lightspeed problems
Newton and Huyghens had opposing ideas on
how a lightspeed differential deflected light:
Newton view:
”A gravitational gradient is associated with
a change in speed of freely falling particles,
with the speed being higher where the
gravitational field is stronger. The bending
of light at an air -glass boundary and the
falling of light -corpuscles in a gravitational
field can be described as the deflection of
light towards regions of higher lightspeed.”
Huyghens view:
”If a region has a slower speed of light, it
will tend to collect light from the
surrounding region. If a light -signal
wavefront encounters a lightspeed gradient
across its surface, with a faster natural speed
on one side and a slower speed on the other,
the retardatio n of the wavefront’s “slower”
side will steer the wavefront towards the
slower -speed region.”
Measurements of relative lightspeeds in
different media in the 19th Century showed that
it was Huyghens’ explanation that was correct. “Newton’s aether model” Eric Baird 1 November 2000 page 2 / 2
arXiv reference: http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/ physics/0011003 4. Huyghens’ principle
Huygh ens’ principle is illustrated in the
following diagrams of a light plane -wave
hitting a glass block:.
(a)
(b)
Figure (a) shows the progress of a wavefront
hitting a lightspeed transition boundary,
(b) shows the resulting change in direction of
the w ave normal.
At the start of the experiment, the leftmost edge
of the advancing wavefront hits the air/glass
boundary at A. A short time later, the rightmost
edge of the wavefront has advanced by a
distance c1 and the rightmost edge of the
wavefront has re ached the boundary at B. By
this time, the leftmost edge has penetrated the
glass a smaller distance c2 (because lightspeed
in glass is slower) and the new wavefront lies
along a line between B and a tangent centred on
A with radius c2 . The wavefront nor mal is
deflected to point more towards the region of
slower lightspeed, with the exact relationship

5. The “corrected” gravitational
aether
We can make Newton’s description compatible
with Huyghens’ principle by inverting hi s
lightspeed and aether -density relationships.
After these substitutions, the relevant queries in
Opticks read:
Qu 19x (rewritten)
Doth not the Refraction of Light proceed from the
different density of this Aetherial Medium in
different places, the Ligh t receding always from
the [rarer] parts of the Medium? And is not the
density thereof [less] in free and open spaces void of
Air and other grosser Bodies, than within the Pores
of Water, Glass, Crystal, Gems, and other compact
Bodies? …
Qu. 21x (rewri tten)
Is not this Medium much [denser] within the dense
Bodies of the Sun, Stars, Planets and Comets, than
in the empty Celestial spaces between them?
And in passing from them to great distances, doth it
not grow [rarer] and [rarer] perpetually and there by
cause the gravity of those great Bodies towards one
another, and of their parts toward the Bodies; every
Body endeavouring to go from the [rarer] parts of
the Medium towards the [denser] ? …
… And though this [Decrease] of density may at
great distan ces be exceeding slow, yet is the elastick
force of this Medium be exceeding great, it may
suffice to impel Bodies from the [rarer] parts of the
medium towards the [denser] , with all that power
which we call Gravity. …
6. Some other issues
Opticks’ Query 1 , on light -bending effects:
Do not Bodies act upon Light at a distance, and by
their action bend its Rays; and is not this action
strongest at the least distance?
This query does not make a distinction between
gravitational light bending (action of gravity on
unspecified “corpuscles”, mentioned in
Principia), and more conventional lensing
effects. Query 4 makes conventional optical
effects more “gravitational” by proposing that
“… rays of Light … reflected of refracted, begin to
bend before they arrive at th e Bodies … ”
Query 17 : Total internal reflection at a glass -air
boundary introduced the philosophical problem
of how the behaviour of light in glass could be
affected by properties of a region that the light
did not actually reach. How does light “know ”
what is beyond the glass, if it never actually
passes beyond the glass? Newton’s answer –
that there must also be a hyper -fast wave -effect
whose interference patterns then steer the
subsequent light signal – predates the “pilot
wave” description of the t wo-slit problem in
quantum mechanics.
Query 21 introduces the supposition that the
aether might be particulate, but includes a slight
qualification: “… (for I do not know what this
Aether is) … ”.
Query 28 recognises that lightwaves are not
compression waves in the gravitational
medium, since a compression -wave would have
a tendency to spread out into less compressed
regions (a lightbeam would then be deflected
towards “dark” regions).
Newton’s perplexity at how a single medium
could then support both gravitational signals
and electromagnetic signals can be compared to
Einstein’s similar musings in 1920 (“ … two
realities that are completely separated from each other
conceptually, although connected causally, namely,
gravitational ether and electromagnet ic field … ”. [4]
Quest. 30 (sic) asks whether light and matter
are not interconvertible, and Quest. 31 touches
on the idea of stronger short -range forces being
at the heart of chemical reactions. “Newton’s aether model” Eric Baird 1 November 2000 page 3 / 3

In the d iagrams below, (a) shows genuinely flat
space, (b) shows the aether -density gradient

Newton’s variable -density aether model, and (c)

distances can be measured directly fr om map
distances in the map:

The physics of maps (b) (“aether -density
gradient”) and (c) (“curved space”) can be
equivalent ( see: Thorne [ 7], Ch apter 11 “What
is Reality?”).

of shells of increasing refractive index
Although Cavendish did not calculate the sun’s
light-bending effect until the late 18th Century,
Newton had already made similar calculat ions
for the effects of a variable -density medium, in
order to predict optical effects caused by the
Earth’s (variable density) atmosphere [ 6] ).
8. Effective closure
Our “corrected” version of Newton’s aether
model (with the tim e taken by light to cross a
distance increasing or decreasing with
gravitational field strength), allows a
nominally -infinite universe containing a
“central” concentration of matter to appear to
its inhabitants as a closed hyperspherical
universe with an e ven distribution of matter and
no distinguishable centre [ 8] – figure 2 of
Einstein’s ”Geometry and Experience” lecture
[9] gives a method of mapping between these
two equivalent descriptions.
9. Historical consequences
The advantage of expressing a gravitati onal
field as a variation in density of an underlying
medium was that wavefronts and particles
would then be deflected by the same amount
(w/p equivalence, gravity as a “spatial density” effect). John Michell’s 1783 letter to Henry
Cavendish was able to bu ild on the arguments
in Principia and Opticks and conclude that light
climbing out of a gravitational well should lose
energy, with the image of a high -gravity star
viewed through a prism being offset towards the
weaker end of the spectrum [ 10]. Michell’s
paper also calculated the R=2M event horizon
radius, and discussed the “modern” method of
finding non -radiating stars from the motions of
their “normal” companions. Michell did not
describe distance -dependent signal flight -time
differences in his double -star scenario (such as
those expected in simple ballistic -photon theory
superimposed on flat space, discounted by
deSitter in 1913 [ 11][12][13]), possibly
because of uncertainty as to whether Newton’s
aether should support multiple superimposed
lightspeeds. LaPl ace also derived the R=2M
relationship, and Cavendish and Soldner both
calculated “Newtonian” values for the Sun’s
bending of light ( see: [14][15][16] and Thorne
[7] pp.122 -123 & 132 -133).
The disagreement betwe en Newton’s and
Huyghens’ arguments (Section 3), and the
subsequent disproof of Newton’s lightspeed
predictions (Foucault, 1850) had serious
consequences for the idea of wave -particle
duality, with Optiks going out of print until
1931, and its contents app arently unknown to
Einstein as late as 1921[ 4]. Other related work
suffered a similar fate – laPlace removed his
reference to the r=2M radius in later editions of
his book (Thorne [ 7] p.122 -123), Cavendish’s
calculation of solar light -deflection did not find
its way into print until 1921, and Michell’s
paper dropped out of the citation chain and was
only “rediscovered” in about 1979 [ 17][18].
After Laplace and Soldner’s published “light -
corpuscle” pi eces in 1799 and 1801, there
seems to be a “gap” in the reference chain until
Einstein’s 1911 paper. Even after Riemann’s
groundbreaking work on non -Euclidean
geometry [ 19], attempts to construct curved -
space models were not always taken seriously
(e.g. Cle rk Maxwell on W.K. Clifford’s work,
~1869, “the work of a space -crumpler” [ 20]).
Spatial -curvature models remained
problematical until after Einstein had repeated
Michell’s gravity -shift exercise (apparently
oblivious to most or all of these earlier wo rks!)
and concluded that the situation could not be
resolved unless an increased gravitational field
was also associated with a reduction in the rate
of timeflow. By arguing that gravity distorted
maps of timeflow across a region, Einstein then
opened the door to models of space time
curvature based on Riemann’s geometry, the
most famous being his own general theory. “Newton’s aether model” Eric Baird 1 November 2000 page 4 / 4
arXiv reference: http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/ physics/0011003 10. Conclusions
Newton’s aether model arguably represents one
of the most serious missed opportunities in the
history of gravitational physics.
Newton’s repeated attempts to unify various
branches of physics led him to the concept of
wave/particle duality and to a model of gravity
in which the gravitational field could be
described as a density gradient, and in which the
deflection of light or mat ter by the field was
modelled as the effect of a variation in
refractive index. In singly -connected space, this
approach can be topologically equivalent to a
curved -space model of gravity [ 7] (by contrast,
general relativity i s a curved space time model of
gravity).
However, Newton’s model inverted a key
lightspeed relationship. Instead of being a
description in which the gravitational field itself
was the medium (to misquote Marshall
McLuhan, “The medium is the metric.”,
see also: Einstein: “ the aether of general relativity ”
[4] “If we imagine the gravitational field … to be
removed … no ‘topological space’. ” [21]), Newton’s
model produced a description of a gravitational
medium that was displaced by the gravitational
field, and this led to the model and its
associated principles and predictions (such as
wave/particle duality, gravitational light -
bending and gravitational shifts) being largely
forgotten until Einstein’s 20th Century work on
quantum mechanics and general relativity.
Rindler has already pointed out that the
mathematical machinery for general relativity
was available in the Eighteenth Century [ 22].
Given that Michell’s gravity -shift prediction
was tantalisingly close to being a predict ion of
gravitational time dilation (the effect missing
from 18th Century curved -space models), it
seems that the loss of Newton’s aether model
may have significantly held back the progress of
gravitational physics.

Abstract. A criticism against the conception adopted by some textbook ’s authors

traditional examples.

V´ ınculos Ideais: Uma Nota de Esclarecimento.Ideal Constraints - A Warning Note 2
Constraints are restrictions that limit the motion of the pa rticles of a system.
The forces necessary to constrain the motion are said to be fo rces of constraint. The
constraints whose unknown forces of constraint can be elimi nated are called ideal
constraints. The principle of virtual work and D’Alambert’ s principle are of paramount
importance in pedagogical presentations of analytical mec hanics because they are readily
derived from Newton’s laws and because they enable us to get r id of the unknown forces
of constraint from the equations of motion as well. Furtherm ore, these principles are
starting points for obtaining Lagrange’s equations of moti on. To obtain the principle
of virtual work and D’Alambert’s principle textbook’s auth ors quite generally consider
the virtual work done on a system of Nparticles:
δW=N/summationdisplay
i=1/vectorF(e)
i·δ/vector ri+N/summationdisplay
i=1/vectorfi·δ/vector ri
where the force on each particle is written as the externally applied force /vectorF(e)
iplus
the force of constraint /vectorfi. The principle of virtual work is applied only to static
problems whereas D’Alambert’s principle is applied to dyna mical situations. The
difference between these principles is not highlighted in th is note neither is relevant to
the discussion which follows because the attention is focus ed on the desembarrassment
of the unwanted forces of constraint. Hauser [1] argues that “If the δ/vector ri’s are chosen
so that any constraints which exist between the coordinates of the particles are satisfied,
the constraint forces /vectorfiacting on the particles will be perpendicular to the displac ements
δ/vector ri.” Similarly Lanczos [2] argues that “ The vanishing of this scalar product means that
the force /vectorfiis perpendicular to any possible virtual displacement. ” Taylor [3] also argues
that “One thing known about otherwise unknown forces of constrain t and that is that they
always act at right angles to any conceivable displacement c onsistent with the constraint
under the condition of “stopped time”, i.e., to any virtual d isplacement.” In the same
line of reasoning Chow [4] claims that “ Most of the constraints that commonly occur,
such as sliding motion on a frictionless surface and rolling contact without slipping, do
no work under a virtual displacement, that is
/vectorfi·δ/vector ri= 0 (4 .8)
This is practically the only possible situation we can imagi ne where the forces of
constraint must be perpendicular to δ/vector ri; otherwise, the system could be spontaneously
accelerated by the forces of constraint alone, and we know th at this does not occur... ”.
Indeed, the statements cited above hold for a system consist ing of just one particle.
Nevertheless, there is no compelling reason to believe that they are true for a system
with more than one particle, and they are not indeed. Let us il lustrate this point with
two very instructive and traditional problems: the rigid bo dy and the Atwood machine.
A rigid body is a system of particles connected in such a way th at the distance
between any two particles is invariable. Newton’s third law implies that for any pair of
particles the forces of constraint are equals and opposites and besides they are parallel
to the relative position vector, whatever the virtual displ acements. These facts ensure
that the net virtual work of the forces of constraint vanishe s.Ideal Constraints - A Warning Note 3
In the Atwood machine two particles are connected by an inext ensible string passing
over a pulley. If the string and the pulley are massless and th e motion is frictionless then
the forces of constraint will reduce to the tension in the str ing. The virtual displacements
of the particles compatible with the constraint will be in th e vertical direction and so will
the forces of constraint. The virtual works of the forces of c onstraint on each particle
are the same, unless a sign, ensuring that the net virtual wor k done by the forces of
constraint vanishes.
It is worthwhile to observe that the conclusions obtained th rough the former
examples do not depend of the state of movement of the particl es,i.e., if it is a static
or a dynamical problem, in this way such conclusions are suit able to the principle of
virtual work as well as to D’Alambert’s principle.
From the previous two examples one can drawn the lesson that i n order to eliminate
the forces of constraint is solely required that the net virt ual work vanishes:
N/summationdisplay
i=1/vectorfi·δ/vector ri= 0
This less restrictive condition allows forces of constrain t not perpendicular to δ/vector ri, for
systems with more than one particle, without implying in spo ntaneous accelerated
motion.
In short, there is absolutely no need for resorting to errone ous restrictions on the
forces of constraint, as those ones presented by Hauser, Lan czos, Taylor and Chow, in or-
der to eliminate them from the analytical formulations of th e classical mechanics. Ideal
constraints are those which the net virtual work on the entir e system is zero whatever
the relative orientation among the forces of constraint and the virtual displacements.
This proviso is sufficient enough to ensure that the system is n ot spontaneously accel-
erated.

We report on experiments on an evanescent-wave mirror
for cold87Rb atoms. Measurements of the bouncing fraction
show the importance of the Van der Waals attraction to the
surface. We have directly observed radiation pressure para llel
to the surface, exerted on the atoms by the evanescent-wave
mirror. We analyze the radiation pressure by imaging the
motion of the atom cloud after the bounce. The number of
photon recoils ranges from 2 to 31. This is independent of
laser power, inversely proportional to the detuning and pro -
portional to the evanescent-wave decay length. By operatin g
the mirror on an open transition, we have also observed atoms
that bounce inelastically due to a spontaneous Raman tran-
sition. The observed distributions consist of a dense peak a t
the minimum velocity and a long tail of faster atoms, show-
ing that the transition is a stochastic process with a strong
preference to occur near the turning point of the bounce.

I. INTRODUCTION
The use of evanescent waves (EW) as a tool to manip-
ulate the motion of neutral atoms has been proposed by
Cook and Hill [1]. Since then, EW mirrors have become
an important tool in atom optics [2]. They have been
demonstrated for atomic beams at grazing incidence [3]
and for ultracold atoms at normal incidence [4]. In many
experiments the scattering of EW photons was undesir-
able because it makes the mirror incoherent.
However, an EW mirror is also a promising tool for effi-
cient loading of low-dimensional optical atom traps in the
vicinity of the dielectric surface [5–8]. In these schemes,
spontaneous optical transitions play a crucial role in pro-
viding dissipation [9–11]. Since inelastic bouncing may
increase the atomic phase-space density, this may open a
route towards quantum degenerate gases, which does not
use evaporative cooling. Thus one may hope to achieve
“atom lasers” [12] which are open, driven systems out of
thermal equilibrium, similar to optical lasers [13]. It is
this application of EW mirrors which drives our inter-
est in experimental control of the photon scattering of
bouncing atoms.
In a first experiment involving the scattering of evanes-
cent photons we have observed directly for the first time
the radiation pressure exerted by evanescent waves oncold atoms [14]. In a second experiment we directly
observe clouds of atoms which bounce inelastically by
changing their hyperfine ground state.

Abstract
We demonstrate an application of spherical harmonic decomp osition to anal-
ysis of the human electroencephalogram (EEG). We implement two methods
and discuss issues specific to analysis of hemispherical, ir regularly sampled
data. Performance of the methods and spatial sampling requi rements are
quantified using simulated data. The analysis is applied to e xperimental EEG
data, confirming earlier reports of an approximate frequenc y-wavenumber re-
lationship in some bands.

1I. INTRODUCTION
The human electroencephalogram (EEG), as measured at the sc alp, represents a super-
position of electric fields resulting from post-synaptic po tentials in neocortex, the thin (2 to
5 mm) surface layer of human brains. Several models of neocor tical dynamics treat EEG as
a mixed global/local phenomenon [1–3], and a better underst anding of its spatial-temporal
dynamics is necessary for evaluation and refinement of these models. Its temporal behavior
has been studied at length, both by clinical observation [4] and with such tools as power
spectra [5], coherence [6], the Hilbert transform [7], and m any others. However, until re-
cently poor spatial resolution (due to minimal electrode sa mpling and under-use of head
models) has limited spatial analysis of EEG [1,2,8].
As a potential field on a near-hemispherical surface, EEG is a menable to analysis by
spherical harmonic decomposition. In this paper, we apply t wo methods of decomposition
(one described by Cadusch [9] and one adapted from Misner [10 ]) to 131-channel EEG data.
Using simulated data, we discuss issues and pitfalls releva nt to such an analysis, specifically
the effects of limited and irregular sampling density, integ ration over a hemisphere, and
deviations from a spherical surface. From the experimental data, we then draw conclusions
regarding the frequency-wavenumber relation of neocortic al activity.
II. METHOD
We use the real spherical harmonics [11], defined on the spher e Ω and described by the
orthogonality integral
/angbracketleftYlm|Yl′m′/angbracketright=2π/integraldisplay
0π/integraldisplay
0Ylm(θ, φ)Yl′m′(θ, φ) sinθdθdφ =δl,l′δm,m′. (1)
In theory, a potential field Φ(Ω) may be decomposed into spher ical harmonic amplitudes
Φlmdefined by
Φlm=/integraldisplay
ΩYlm(θ, φ)Φ(θ, φ)d2Ω. (2)
In the example of EEG and similar data we encounter three majo r and two minor issues.
A. Sampling
First, when attempting to decompose experimental data, we s ample Φ(Ω) at specific
locations Γ. Assuming near-regularly spaced electrodes, o ur maximum resolvable lis deter-
mined by a spherical analog of the familiar Nyquist limit [12 ]fmax= 1/(2∆T). With mean
angular inter-electrode distance γ, we initially adopt a conservative limit of
lmax=/bracketleftBiggπ
2γ/bracketrightBigg
, (3)
orlmax= 6 for our 131-channel electrode cap. Analog pre-filtering t o avoid spatial aliasing
is not required here due to the low-pass characteristics of t he head volume conductor [13].
2B. Regularization
With sampled data F(Γ), the discretized version of the decomposition in Eq. 2 is unstable
in higher l-indices. (An apparently accurate reconstruction of the si gnal may be generated,
with large artifacts in the higher spatial frequencies.) We must invoke constraint or regular-
ization techniques to address this issue. Cadusch et al[9] approached the problem as a side
issue of spherical spline interpolation. The estimate ˆΦlmis constrained by the spline con-
straints, and the problem for a given sampling grid and lmaxis reduced to a multiplication
by a matrix of µlmcoefficients:
ˆΦlm=/summationdisplay
x∈Γµlm(x)F(x). (4)
Recently, Misner [10] introduced a more complex method for d ecomposition on a rect-
angular three-dimensional grid; that is, generalized to us eYnlm(r, θ, φ). We implement here
the special case of sampling on a spherical surface, more rel evant to EEG analysis, in which
ris constant. In Misner’s method, a correction matrix of GABaccounts for discretization
and limited sampling:
GAB=/summationdisplay
x∈ΓYA(x)YB(x)wx, (5)
where A and B refer to index groups ( lm). Here we use the real harmonics and replace
Misner’s weight function wxwith the effective area of each electrode. GAB, the matrix
inverse of the GAB, is used to calculate “adjoint spherical harmonics” YA. Finally, a set of
coefficients Rlm, analogous to Cadusch’ µlm, is generated and used as in Eq. 4 to estimate
ˆΦlm.
C. Hemispherical sampling
Particularly relevant to EEG analysis is the error introduc ed by sampling over only half
of the sphere. This sampling corresponds to only1
2of a spatial cycle of the l= 1,m= 0
function, suggesting potential accuracy problems for func tions involving l= 0 and 1. It is
also clear that the functions Ylmwill no longer be orthonormal for 0 ≤θ≤π/2 only; rather,
we replace the δin Eq. 1 with an error quantity ǫ:
/angbracketleftYA|YB/angbracketright=2π/integraldisplay
0π
2/integraldisplay
0YA(θ, φ)YB(θ, φ) sinθdθdφ =ǫAB. (6)
In general, our hemispherical estimates ˆΦ′Awill be related to the hypothetical full-sphere
result by the matrix of ǫAB’s:
ˆΦ′=ǫˆΦ (7)
and our ˆΦ′Abecome somewhat ambiguous between certain sets of ( l, m). Although it
may seem appropriate to invert ǫand calculate a more accurate result, the matrix is ill-
conditioned ( R >108, where the 2-norm condition number Ris the ratio of the largest
singular value of ǫto the smallest) and thus the inversion is problematic.
3In addition, if we use the hemispherical region to calculate Misner’s GABin Eq. 5, the
resulting matrix of GABis ill-conditioned ( R >108) and thus the GABcannot be reliably
found. Rather, we created a mirrored set of electrodes Γ′, calculated the matrix RofRlm
for sample set (Γ ∪Γ′), and discarded the antipodal rows of R. Cadusch’ spline method,
while still subject to Eq. 7, is native to the hemispherical s urface and requires no further
manipulation.
D. Coordinate orientation
In many problems, the sphere has no preferred direction. The m-indices are usually col-
lapsed [14] to produce an angular power spectrum estimate ˆG(l) as a function of wavenumber
l:
ˆG(l) =l/summationdisplay
m=−l/parenleftBigˆΦ′lm/parenrightBig2(8)
which is independent of coordinate system orientation. As w ell, we found the “hemispherical
error” in l-spectrum to be independent of orientation. In some EEG stud ies, of course, the
orientation of the underlying cerebral hemispheres may be r elevant. In such cases, local
spatial Fourier analysis [1] should adequately complement our decomposition without the
complication of distinguishing m-modes.
E. Non-spherical media
We assume that our medium Ω is a sphere, whereas biological da ta is often sampled on an
irregular surface. The upper surface of the “average” human head [15] may be represented
as a hemiellipsoid with axes a= 10.52 cm, b= 7.66 cm, and c= 8.41 cm, or alternatively
25%, -9%, and 0% elongation from a perfect sphere. Although p rolate spheroidal harmonics
have been applied to biophysical field problems [16–18], the technique is often unwieldy. In
comparison to error from ǫAB, especially for low l, we assume the error due to approximating
the ellipsoidal surface with a spherical surface is negligi ble.
III. APPLICATION TO SIMULATED DATA
We generated evenly tessellated, hemispherical electrode maps of 74, 187, 282, and 559
electrodes, in addition to common experimental maps of 20, 6 4, and 131 [8] electrodes. Five
hundred potential maps were simulated for each electrode co nfiguration. Each potential
map was randomly generated with harmonics of degree l= 6, such that the Φ lmvaried with
uniform distribution between 0 and 1. Power spectrum estima tesˆG(l) were then calculated
for each map, using both methods. Figure 1 shows Pearson’s co rrelation coefficients rl,
calculated between G(l) and ˆG(l) over the 500 trials for each electrode map.
We have noted that the error due to ǫABcauses power from one ( l, m)-component to be
misinterpreted as power in another, often of different l. Therefore, we might expect either
method’s performance to depend on the l-spectrum being analyzed. Using preliminary
4experimental data, we constructed an approximate power spe ctrum Gnorm(l) for average-
referenced scalp EEG, peaked at l= 1 and l= 2, and decaying with l−1thereafter. Another
five hundred potential maps were generated, with Φ lmuniformly distributed between
0<Φlm<Gnorm(l)
2l+ 1(9)
to simulate a physiologically realistic distribution of l-spectra. Power spectrum estimates
ˆG(l) were calculated for each map using both methods. Results ar e shown in Fig. 2.
In general, results for the spline method — though often quit e accurate — were dependent
on the distribution of l-spectra being measured, exact electrode positions, and el ectrode
numbers. Results for the adjoint harmonic method seemed mor e robust, even for sparse
(n= 64) sampling, although accuracy was somewhat less in the hi gher harmonics.
In both methods, for l= 6 we observed minimal improvement for more than 131 elec-
trodes. We thus believe that our 131-channel sampling is an a ppropriate tool for further
study. Furthermore, given the limit in Eq. 3 and the known vol ume-conductor attenuation
of higher modes [13], we suggest that study of spatial freque ncies higher than approximately
l= 8 will be better served by intracranial EEG than by denser el ectrode maps.
In general, for low lthe adjoint harmonic method seemed more consistent. We exam ined
typical 131-channel decompositions (Fig. 3) to investigat e further. Both methods accurately
reproduced the potential maps ( r >0.9 for 131 channels). The spline method, however,
was slightly unstable for low l, and the erroneous negative ˆΦlmare reflected in the power
spectrum.
IV. REFINEMENTS AND ANALYSIS OF ERROR
Any application of the spherical harmonic decomposition sh ould take into account the
estimated relative contribution of various error sources. Aside from measurement and ex-
perimental error, these may be divided into three categorie s: sampling error, orientation
error, and hemispherical error.
A. Sampling error
Figures 1 and 2 indicate minimal improvement for l≤6 with more than 131 electrodes.
We can thus deduce that the Nyquist-like limit in Eq. 3 is an ap propriate guideline. When
using coarser sampling, we expect some decrease in performa nce for higher l. Decreased
accuracy for 20, 64, and 74 channels (seen in Figs. 1 and 2, par ticularly for 20 channels)
may be attributed to sampling error.
B. Orientation error
For a given l-spectrum, results will vary if power is randomly distribut ed across the m’s;
that is, various m-components interact differently with our hemispherical sa mple grid. Five
5hundred random l-spectra, with realistic distribution of G(l), were generated. Thirty 131-
channel maps, randomly varying in m-power, were generated for each original l-spectrum.
Figure 4 displays the resulting accuracy, again shown as cor relation coefficient rlbetween
G(l) and ˆG(l) over the 100 trials.
Very little is gained in this simulation by decomposition of multiple epochs. As de-
scribed in the following section, error due to m-distribution of power is largely swamped
by hemispherical error. In practice, however, we must empha size (in the presence of ran-
dom measurement noise) the importance of averaging decompo sitions across many epochs.
Orientation error will also become significant if our sampli ng grid is severely non-uniform.
C. Hemispherical error
In Sec. II above, we have discussed the hemispherical error ǫAB. Although it is impos-
sible to improve our decomposition results by inverting the matrix ǫ, we may generate a
corresponding matrix for the power spectrum result and use i t to estimate the contribution
of hemispherical error.
Power in a single harmonic Ylm(θ, φ) is blurred by the hemispherical decomposition into
surrounding harmonics. Using the 131-channel sampling map , we generated five hundred
potential maps for each of l= 0. . .6, each with one unit power distributed randomly among
the available m’s. By averaging over the five hundred resulting power spectr a, for each l,
we obtained an empirical “averaged blurring matrix” Efor power spectra obtained from
hemispherical decomposition. That is,
ˆG(l)≈EG(l). (10)
The typical Efor both methods is a blurred identity matrix; that is, error in power spectra
is largely between adjacent l. It is again tempting to invert E, de-blur our spectra, and cal-
culate a more accurate result, but although most Eare invertable we found that for realistic
spectra the benefit was marginal at best. Instead, Emay be used to better understand the
implications of hemispherical error.
We calculated correlation coefficients as in Fig. 4, between EG(l) and ˆG(l) over the
500 trials of 30 epochs for 131 electrodes. The resulting hig her correlations (although not
applicable to a decomposition of real data) are plotted in Fi g. 5. By comparison with Figs.
2a and 4, the result indicates the importance of hemispheric al error. In particular, after
examination of typical Eandǫmatrices, we may interpret the decreased performance at
lowlas blurring between adjacent wavenumbers. Furthermore, th e increased effect, seen
in Fig. 5, of averaging across various m-distributions indicates that some abrupt changes
in performance may be attributed to sensitive interactions between E-blurring and random
m-distribution.
Practically, the near-identity character of Eis extremely useful. Hemispherical error
manifests as blurring between adjacent l. Thus, we may expect composite measures such
as the sum of power in l=0,1 to be substantially more accurate than individual esti mates.
Figure 6 displays the accuracy of l=0,1 and l=2...6 adjoint harmonic power estimates
(used below in our experimental trials), for 500 epochs, rea listicl-distribution, and various
sampling densities.
6V. APPLICATION TO EXPERIMENTAL DATA
Nunez in 1974 [19,20] and Shaw in 1991 [21], using Fourier ana lysis along linear electrode
EEG arrays, observed a relationship between increasing spa tial and increasing temporal
frequency in the 8-13 Hz band, roughly consistent with simpl e wave dispersion relations.
We attempted to duplicate this result in order to test the adj oint harmonic method under
experimental conditions. We analyzed 131-channel EEG (res ting, eyes closed) in five human
subjects. Temporal Fourier coefficients were determined for 300 to 600 one-second epochs
(depending on available data), and l-spectra averaged over these epochs.
Results are summarized in Fig. 7 as the ratio of power in low ( l= 0,1) to power in high
(l= 2,3,4,5,6) spatial frequencies. Above approximately f= 8 Hz, with increasing fwe
observed a general trend towards power in higher l. We also observed high-wavenumber
power in the delta band ( f≤3 Hz). The alpha band (c. 8–13 Hz) was characterized by the
highest power in low spatial frequencies.
In order to rule out methodological artifact, we generated a nd analyzed 300 seconds of
simulated EEG using 3602 uncorrelated sources, each genera ting 1/f noise through a head
volume conductor model as described in [13]. As expected, th e EEG-like noise (labeled RND
in the figure) showed no relation between spatial and tempora l frequencies.
VI. CONFIDENCE INTERVAL ESTIMATION
Estimates of the temporal power spectrum are known to vary in chi-square distribution
[12], assuming normally distributed estimates of the under lying Fourier coefficients. Error
distribution for spatial spectrum estimates, on the other h and, is complicated by the de-
pendence of hemispherical and orientation error on the enti rel-spectrum. For composite
measures of both spatial and temporal spectra, such as shown in Fig. 7, the situation be-
comes even more problematic. We propose an empirical test fo r estimation of such confidence
levels, analogous to the randomization tests commonly appl ied in nonparametric statistical
analysis [22].
Let
A=G01
G2...6, (11)
where G01is the total power in harmonics l=0 and l=1, and G2...6is the total power in
harmonics l=2 through l=6. Let ˆG01,ˆG2...6, and ˆArepresent estimates of the same. Above,
we calculated ˆAffor various temporal frequencies. Here, we calculate an app roximate 95%
confidence interval for single-epoch estimates of the actua lAf. The confidence interval will
apply only to the spatial spectrum composite measure, negle cting error (or nonstationarity)
in temporal frequency spectra, which for many applications may be as important. Note,
though, that for 300 epochs the normalized standard error of a temporal power spectrum
estimate is less than 6%.
To determine an empirical confidence interval, we would typi cally examine the distri-
bution of random re-samples. In this application, we create d many random l-spectra from
an estimated distribution of l-power, simulated many decompositions, and examined the
resulting distribution as follows.
7Since hemispherical error is dependent on l-spectrum, the result will be influenced by
the distribution of the random spectra. Srinivasan et al [13] analytically estimated the
spatial frequency domain transfer function for volume-con duction blurring of scalp potential
as proportional to (2 l+1)−1. This “spatial smearing” is due mainly to the poorly conduct ing
skull and physical separation between cortical current sou rces and scalp electrodes. In our
calculation, we assumed that underlying l-spectra vary in uniform distribution in proportion
to (2l+ 1)−1, and that with average-referenced data the contribution of l=0 is negligible. A
large number (20,000) of l-spectra were generated, randomly selecting for each l-bin a value
from the appropriate distribution. The decomposition was p erformed, and the composite
measure Acalculated, for each randomized spectrum.
By examining the distribution of known surrogate Arandwhich produce a certain estimate
ˆArand, we can estimate an empirical confidence interval for our spe ctral estimate. In Fig. 8,
we show the scatter plot of Arandagainst ˆArandwith 95% confidence intervals. For a given
estimate ˆAand the assumptions discussed above, 95% of the time, the act ualAwill fall
between the two lines shown.
A similar procedure may be used to calculate confidence inter vals for other measures,
whether the actual Glor other composite measures. Careful judgment must be appli ed
when estimating confidence intervals for multiple-epoch me asures such as shown in Fig. 6.
As demonstrated earlier in this paper, variation in the m-component of an l, m-spectrum
only allows us to “average out” the minimal orientation erro r. Variation in hemispherical
error (dependent on l-spectrum), without gross violation of the stationarity as sumption, is
necessary for the average of estimates ˆAover multiple epochs to converge to A.
VII. DISCUSSION
Our simulations provide a firm basis for application of spher ical harmonic decomposition
to irregularly sampled, hemispherical data such as EEG. Our hemispherical modification
of Misner’s adjoint harmonic method [10] proved most consis tent. However, for physiologi-
cal data of known power distribution, the spline method [9] i s complementary and may be
slightly more accurate with high-density sampling. It seem s that, within the conservative
band-limit of equation [3] and the known spatial filter prope rties of the head [13], decom-
position accuracy will not be materially improved by more th an 131 electrodes for scalp
EEG. We suggest that confidence intervals for such decomposi tions, or for decomposition-
derived measures, be determined empirically using randomi zed data. Furthermore, while
single-decomposition errors are relatively large, with mu ltiple epochs the experimental ac-
curacy may be increased substantially. For this averaging t o be both valid and effective, we
must assume a quasi-stationary wavenumber spectrum across our epochs, but with sufficient
random variation in hemispherical error for our estimates t o converge upon the mean. In
addition, especially in EEG applications, we must remain aw are of the limitations inherent
in collapse across m’s (we assume the orientation of the underlying cerebral hem ispheres is
irrelevant) and the use of spherical harmonics on a hemisphe roidal surface.
The dynamical properties of human EEG rhythms are quite comp licated, varying sub-
stantially between individuals and brain states. Furtherm ore, physiologically-based theo-
retical models point to substantial nonlinear effects and in teractions across spatial scales
8[2,23–26]. Despite all the obvious complications, results from the spherical harmonic de-
composition of experimental EEG agreed qualitatively with crude linear electrode array
results [1,21]. These results were seen in all subjects and a re consistent with a mixed
global/local model of cortical dynamics, in which lower glo bal mode oscillations produce
alpha rhythm, superimposed on local (spatially uncorrelat ed) activity in various frequency
bands [2]. Further study of spatiotemporal EEG dynamics, us ing spherical harmonic de-
composition, should shed more light on these issues.

FIG. 1. Correlations between actual and estimated l-power for uniformly distributed random
spectra. Five hundred potential maps were generated from kn own wavenumber spectra, with
random power in each l-component, uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. For each of seven
electrode densities, wavenumber spectra were estimated by spherical harmonic decomposition of
the 500 sampled maps. Correlations between actual power and estimated power were calculated
over the 500 trials for each l-component. Shown here for (a) adjoint harmonic and (b) spli ne
methods, these correlations are a measure of the quality of a single decomposed power spectrum.
FIG. 2. Correlations between actual and estimated l-power for more realistically distributed
random spectra based on genuine EEG data. As in Fig. 1, but in o riginal spectra random power
in each l-component is uniformly distributed between 0 and (2 l+ 1)−1.
FIG. 3. Topography (left column), l,m-spectra (center column), and l-power (right column)
for a typical 131-channel spherical harmonic decompositio n. The original map is shown in (a). The
adjoint harmonic method (b) reconstructs topography and gi ves an approximation of l-spectrum.
Although the spline method (c) also reconstructs potential topography, we observe irregularities in
the lower lamplitude estimates that contribute to decreased performa nce for these wavenumbers,
and a less accurate l-spectrum estimate.
FIG. 4. Correlations between actual and estimated l-power for multiple-epoch, ad-
joint-harmonic estimates of the same l-spectrum, with epochs varying only in m-component. For
a reasonably isotropic and dense sample array, such as the 13 1-channel EEG grid used here, there
is little orientation error and thus little improvement in r esults.
FIG. 5. Sampling a full sphere with 262 channels and the adjoi nt harmonic method, correlations
between actual and estimated l-power are shown for multiple-epoch (varying only in m-component)
estimates of the same l-spectrum. By sampling over the full sphere, we eliminate he mispherical
errors illustrated in Fig. 4. Remaining errors are due to ori entation (note improvement with
multiple epochs) and imperfect sampling.
FIG. 6. Correlation coefficients, using the adjoint harmonic method, obtained by comparisons
of estimated to actual summed power measures. The solid line represents power in l=0 and l=1
modes, and the broken line represents power summed over mode sl=2 through l=6. Increased
accuracy (as compared to part A of Fig. 2) is because most hemi spherical error manifests as
blurring between power in adjacent l’s.
11FIG. 7. Five to ten minutes of resting, eyes-closed EEG were c ollected with 131 channels from
each of six subjects (one duplicated). Complex temporal Fou rier coefficients were calculated for
one-second epochs and subjected to spherical harmonic spat ial decomposition using the adjoint
harmonic method. Resulting wavenumber spectra were averag ed for each 1-Hz band over the 300
to 600 epochs. The ratio of power in l=0,1 to l=2,3,4,5,6 is plotted as a simple indicator of a bias
toward higher spatial frequencies at higher temporal frequ encies (greater than about 10 Hz). This
result is qualitatively consistent with the postulated exi stence of an approximate EEG dispersion
relation, perhaps with alpha rhythm (8–13 Hz) representing the fundamental and lower overtones.
A surrogate signal (dotted line), composed of random EEG-li ke noise and subjected to the same
analysis, showed no such relation.
FIG. 8. 95% confidence intervals for single-epoch estimates of the power ratio
A=Gl=0,1/Gl=2...6. Twenty thousand potential maps were generated from known, random, real-
istically distributed (based on genuine EEG data) l-spectra, and decomposed using 131 channels
and the adjoint harmonic method. Here, known Aare plotted against the resulting estimated
A. Solid lines indicate the empirical 95% confidence interval for a given estimate of A. Multi-
ple-epoch estimates will result in much smaller intervals, depending on the variation in l-spectra
being decomposed.

Abstract
TRIUMF experiment E497 is a study of parity violation in ppscattering at an
energy where the leading term in the analyzing power is expec ted to vanish, thus
measuring a unique combination of weak-interaction flavour conserving terms. It is
desired to reach a level of sensitivity of 2 ×10−8in both statistical and systematic
errors. The leading systematic errors depend on transverse polarization components
and, at least, the first moment of transverse polarization. A novel polarimeter that
measures profiles of both transverse components of polariza tion as a function of
position is described.

Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 2 February 20081 Introduction
Several measurements of the parity violating component in t he nucleon-nucleon
interaction have been reported over the years [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], achieving greater
precision over time. Such an experiment that aims to measure longitudinal an-
alyzing power, Az, to a precision of ±2×10−8(in statistics and systematics)
is underway at TRIUMF [6]. Other experimenters have measure d the same
quantity with protons incident on light nuclei [7] [8]. The T RIUMF experi-
ment is unique in that it seeks to measure the parity-violati ng effect at an
energy, 221 MeV, where the leading term (which dominates bel ow 100 MeV),
Az(1S0−3P0), is zero (averaged over the acceptance of the detector), th us
observing the Az(3P2−1D2) term as the dominant component [9]. The differ-
ence in these terms is that they are dependent on different com binations of
the weak meson couplings [9]. In addition, another experime nt is planned at
450 MeV at TRIUMF [10].
Initially, it was recognized that residual transverse comp onents of polarization
which changed sign with the longitudinal component of polar ization gave rise
to a systematic error if the detection system was asymmetric or if the incident
proton beam were off the symmetry axis [11]. Later, it was reco gnized that
even if the transverse polarization components of a finite-s ized beam averaged
to zero, an inhomogeneous distribution of the transverse po larization over the
beam profile could result in a significant contribution to the measured Az[12]
[13].
The ETH-SIN-Z¨ urich-Karlsruhe-Wisconsin group [1] [2] de scribe a beam in-
tensity/polarization profile monitor [14] that operates wi th two wheels ( xand
y) each driving two graphite targets through their 50 MeV prot on beam. Pro-
tons scattered at 51◦, near the maximum of the12C(p, p)12Canalyzing power,
were observed in four scintillators left, right, bottom and top, and timed with
respect to a reference on the wheel, i.e. the position of the t arget for that scat-
tered proton. The data, along with information about the spi n state, were read
into a series of spectra from which intensity and polarizati on profiles could be
deduced. They used two such devices in their beamline. This p olarimeter is
also described modified for use at lower energies [16]. The ta rgets used were
much thinner and they adapted a multi-channel scaler and mul ti-channel an-
alyzer to record and store the profiles.

2The Bonn group [3] describe a beam profile scanner that measur es polarization
[15] by physically moving a polarimeter (one for vertical an d one for horizontal
profile) with a thin graphite target through the beam. The tar get is optimized
to allow passage of one target at a time through the beam while data collection
is enabled. They detected protons scattered at 48◦. An elastically scattered
proton in any of four Si detectors generated a sampling of an A DC that read a
voltage picked up from a linear potentiometer related to the device’s position.
Again, position dependent spectra were generated from whic h intensity and
polarization profiles can be deduced. They also used two such devices in their
beamline.
The Los Alamos-Illinois group [4] [7] describe a simple scan ning target used
in a conventional polarimeter.
2 Specifications and design
Requirements of the TRIUMF Parity experiment are that it be a ble to inti-
mately (i.e., within the data collection cycles of the exper iment, each cycle
being eight periods of 25 ms duration) monitor the profile of t he transverse
polarization components as a function of position ( Py(x) and Px(y)), and that
one be able to determine the corrections derived therefrom t oAzto a level
at or below ±6×10−9over the whole data collection period (several hundred
hours not counting calibrations and other overhead). These quantities are the
average transverse components of polarization which given an effect propor-
tional to displacement from the detector symmetry axis, < x >< P y>and
< y >< P x>, and the intrinsic first moments of polarization, < xP y>and
< yP x>, which will contribute even if the proton beam is perfectly a ligned
with the apparatus. Higher order terms and in-plane terms (s uch as < xP x>
and< yP y>) should be negligible [12] [2].
Typical run time conditions keep transverse components of p olarization under
±1% per data run (typically one hour). Intrinsic first moments of transverse
polarization are typically within ±25µm per run.
As mentioned above, some researchers [14] [15] [16] use grap hite targets which
have relatively high counting rates and high analyzing powe rs. However, the
angular dependence of both cross section and analyzing powe r and the con-
tribution of inelastic scattering, especially at higher en ergies, make this unde-
sirable in the present case. By moving the polarimeter detec tors rigidly with
the target, Chlebek et al. [15] avoid position correlated ac ceptance problems.
Such a device had initially been considered [17] but abandon ed when it be-
came apparent that the higher energy and larger beam size wou ld make such
a scheme too unwieldy.
3Fig. 1. General schematic view of a PPM. The forward and recoi l paths for one
arm are shown with the scintillators indicated as dark volum es. The paths originate
from the plane in which the blades lie.
The mechanics of the present detector have been described in [19], though
there have been modifications since then which will be explai ned below. The
device is a four-branch polarimeter whose target consists o f two wheels that
can drive strips (‘blades’) of CH2(two on each wheel) through the beam at a
speed locked to the experiment cycle time. It is shown in Figu re 1. Two blades
per wheel were chosen as an optimal compromise between polar ization mea-
suring time and Az(i.e., experimental determination of the helicity depende nt
asymmetry of the beam transmission through an LH2target) measuring time.
Two of these detectors are mounted in the experimental beaml ine to allow
for extrapolation of the polarization profiles to the target location. They are
shown in Figure 2. They are upstream of the Transverse field Io nization Cham-
bers (TRIC’s) that sandwich the LH2target. The TRIC signals (proportional

power that is the observable of interest.

2.1 PPM Detectors
Each branch consists of a forward arm of two scintillators at 17.5◦from the
axis and a recoil arm. The angle of 17 .5◦was chosen as a reasonable compro-
mise near the p−panalyzing power maximum over the energy range at which
parity violation may be investigated at TRIUMF, see Figure 3 . The figure of
merit for a polarimeter can be defined as:
A2

This is also shown in Figure 3.
The forward arm consists of two scintillators. The solid-an gle of acceptance for
scattered protons is defined by a rotated counter (Ω) whose an gle of rotation
along its axis perpendicular to the scattering plane is chos en to cancel the
effect of the change in p−pscattering cross-section and detector geometry
with target blade position [21]. At 223 MeV, this rotation an gle is determined
to be 49◦with respect to the plane perpendicular to the nominal 17 .5◦center-

line of the scattered protons, in the direction as shown in Fi gure 4. Between the
Ω-counter and the target plane is a counter ( C) whose function is to determine
that the scattered protons are collinear with the target. Th e recoil arm is at
70.6◦at which the recoil protons from p−pscattering will be stopped in the
front ( R) counter or in a 1.6 mm thick aluminum shield immediately beh ind
it. Protons from other sources that are too penetrating will pass through and
hit the veto ( V) counter immediately behind. The location and dimensions o f
each counter are recorded in Table 1. A schematic of a single b ranch lay-out
is given in Figure 4.
Each scintillator3was attached to a light-pipe viewed by a two-inch RCA
85754photomultiplier tube. The TRIUMF-built bases were equippe d with
zener-diodes on the first three dynodes and the voltages had t o be carefully
adjusted due to the high rates. The front arm counters, Cand Ω, of each
branch were mounted externally with the protons passing thr ough a 3.2 mm
(at 17 .5◦) thick spun-aluminum shell, at a distance of 470 mm from the t arget,
into air. The recoil arm counters, RandV, were mounted internally with a
vacuum seal along each scintillator light pipe. The externa l counters and light

2.2 PPM Targets
The mounting of the target blades and the drive arrangement i s shown in
Figure 5. The wheel pivots are 215 mm from the beam centre. Eac h arm holds
two targets to better balance the statistics of the PPM with t he experiment
statistics. This gives two xscans and two yscans per PPM, a total of eight.
Each scan occurs during one spin-state of an eight state cycl e. The direction
of the spin in each state is defined by the eight state cycle whi ch can be
(+− − +−+ +−) or its complement. The initial state of each cycle is
chosen according to the same (+ − − +−+ +−) pattern, making up a
64-state ‘supercycle’. The initial spin direction of each s upercycle is chosen
randomly. This timing sequence is shown in Figure 7.
Each blade target is 1.6 mm wide, 5 mm along the beam, and 85 mm h igh (past
its holder-clamp) and is machine cut from sheets of high dens ity polyethylene.
As each blade passes through the beam, a proton scattered in a plane contain-
ing the direction of motion of the blade is observed in one of t he two forward
arms, left-right (horizontal motion) or bottom-top (verti cal motion), and the
corresponding recoil proton from free p−pscattering is observed in the recoil
arm on the opposite side. Protons scattered in a plane perpen dicular to the
direction of motion of the blade (i.e., those that would give Px(x) and Py(y))
8are not recorded as their recoil protons would in many cases b e stopped or
severely multiple-scattered in the target.
The target blades are driven through the beam by a D.C. servo- motor/tacho-
meter unit5salvaged from an old reel-to-reel tape drive. The two wheels are
connected by a timing belt that is mounted external to the PPM housing.
This was done because it was proven necessary to ensure prope r cooling. The
power to the wheels is transmitted through ferrofluidically -sealed shafts6. The
read-out of the shaft position was done through a shaft encod er7. It was found
necessary to shield this encoder and switch to a rad-hard ver sion as radiation
damage caused failure after the first few weeks of running. Th is has not been
a problem since.
In addition, with the blades turned off and parked out of the be am, it is
possible to insert a fixed target of CH2some 0.2 mm thick. This target has
a very thin film of aluminum evaporated on the surface to preve nt charging,
and is mounted in a circular aluminum frame 100 mm in diameter . This allows
a rapid determination of PyandPxin the parity beamline, useful for initial
tuning of the solenoids that provide longitudinal polariza tion.
2.3 Synchronization and Control
The PPM’s rotate at five revolutions per second and are adjust ed for 180◦an-
gular mismatch. A full 200 ms cycle compromises eight blade p assages with 25
ms between passages. The synchronization of the PPM’s, as we ll as the main-
tenance of the rotation speed, is accomplished by an applica tion of electronic
gearing. Each PPM is equipped with a 2500 line incremental sh aft encoder
and DC brushed servo motor.
The motors are controlled by a Galil DMC103083-axis PC ISA bus based
digital servo motion control card. A functional block diagr am of the control
system is shown in Figure 6. A reference 60 Hz square wave sign al is generated
from the 60 Hz AC line which has a frequency regulation of 0.06 %. This signal
is frequency multiplied by a factor of 125 and phase locked to the 60 Hz line via
a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) feedback regulator c ircuit. The resulting
7500 Hz is phase shifted to produce a double phase quadrature signal. This is
directed to the x-axis encoder input of the DMC and represents the master

whose output is fed to the PID filter. The PID filters’ outputs a re fed to Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) switching 20 kHz amplifiers in current /torque mode.

is used to provide the reference signals.
axis signal which the slave axes, yandz, are commanded to follow through the
gear function ratios, FyandFz. The phase slip function factor, φ60, utilizes
machine round off error which comes from the fact that 2500 is n ot evenly
divisible by 60, so that at 5 Hz the right amount of phase slip r elative to 60
Hz is obtained. This means that rotator speeds of 3 Hz, 6 Hz, 9 H z, etc., can
be set precisely to zero phase slip, while speeds in between c annot (unless the
encoder resolution were changed to 3000 lines per turn). Nor mally, the phase
slip is set to one 60 Hz cycle in 20 minutes. At 5 Hz, the encoder frequency
is perfectly suited for this application. However, the fact orsφ60,Fy, and Fz
can be configured interactively by the user from the windows g raphical user
interface (GUI) at any time.
In normal operation the gearing is set for 1:1 on both PPM’s an d the phase
difference between the two PPM’s is set for 180◦. To compensate for small
mechanical misalignment in the mechanisms, a fine phase adju stment is made
so that the actual blade passages through the beam (between t he two PPM’s)
are exactly 180◦apart. The gear ratios FyandFzmodify the output signal,
θ′
cfrom the x-axis phase slip function and produces command frequency re f-
10erences, θycandθzc, so the PPM speed is correctly calibrated, as required by
the user, based on the 60 Hz line signal. During standard use Fy=Fz, which
means that the two PPM’s are phase locked to run at the same spe ed with
zero relative phase slip.
Measurements with a digital oscilloscope showed that durin g rotation at 5
Hz the servo loops kept the two PPM’s within ±1 encoder tick (i.e, ±0.003
radians) of each other. The two reference signals, θycandθzc, are treated by
the microprocessor as quadrature counts which are the Basic Length Unit at
machine hardware level. This means that the phase synchroni zation and posi-
tion accuracy of the servo loop is four times greater than the line frequency of
the encoder. These signals are compared in an up/down counte r against the
encoder feedback signal and the difference is used to produce an analog com-
mand voltage signal for the servo amplifier via a PID filter and DAC running
at a sampling rate of 1 kHz. This produces the current to drive the motors.
The PID filter parameters, KP,KD, and KI, are the same for both PPM’s
due to their similar plant dynamics and shaft torque resista nces. However,
the stable operating region is very narrow due to the flexible couplings and
the large inertia mis-match between the motor armature and t he blade rotor
mechanism (required due to space constraints). The aim is to increase KP
in order to minimize the phase lock and position error, but no t high enough
to make the static gain loop unstable. To help stabilize the l atter, KDis in-
creased high enough to damp out the low frequency instabilit ies, but not high
enough to destabilize the derivative loop gain. KIis set to zero in order not to
induce low frequency oscillations into the loop due to the hi gh load inertia. An
interesting aspect to Figure 6 is that the distance between t he PPM/Servo-
Amp units at beam line level and the DMC controller is over 150 meters. This
is very unusual in servo control applications due to the dest abilizing effects of
phase delay in the encoder and command signal cables; but was required due
to the radiation environment.
For control measurements, it is possible to run a single PPM o r to park a
PPM’s blades at a specific angle.
3 Signal Processing and Data Acquisition
The PPM data collection is an integral part of the experiment al data collec-
tion cycle. The PPM blade scans are carefully synchronized n ot only to each
other, but are used to drive the polarized source spin flip cyc le and the signal
integration gates on the two transverse ion-chambers that b racket the target
and whose helicity-dependent output constitutes the parit y-violating signal of
the experiment. Each shaft encoder pulse forms the time-bas e for the experi-
11Fig. 7. The data collection cycle. Shown are the first two stat es of the eight-state
cycle, which can be (+ − −+−+ +−) or its complement. During each state
of the cycle, one of the eight PPM blades passes through the be am. For the two
states shown here, the two vertically scanning blades of PPM 1 would scan during the
‘Vert. 1 gate’ intervals. While the blade is passing through the beam the appropriate
electronics and MCS channels are gated/enabled and the MCS c hannel is advanced
by a signal from the shaft encoder (see Fig. 8). The PPM data is read out while the
other equipment (TRIC/IPM) data collection is enabled. The spin state selection
and sequencer start are controlled by the front-end process or.
ment as an input to a timing and sequence module9. A schematic diagram of
the data collection cycle is shown in Figure 7.
3.1 Electronics
A schematic lay-out of the PPM electronics is given in Figure 8.
The signals from the phototube bases were fed through an ampl ifier, thus
allowing the tubes to be run at lower voltages, important due to the high
singles rates, and into individual linear discriminators. Each pair of forward

12Fig. 8. Schematic of the PPM electronics, two branches of one four-branch PPM are
shown. The discriminated signals from each counter (10 ns wi dth) are timed in to
form the logic coincidence for each branch, Ln, Rn, Bn, Tn, and their corresponding
delayed coincidence (accidental), Lnacc, Rn acc, Bn acc, Tn acc;n= 1,2 labelling
either one of the two PPM’s. The four signals for any PPM plane (horizontal [Ln,
Rn, Ln acc, Rn acc]or vertical [Bn, Tn, Bn acc, Tn acc]) are OR’ed together with the
other planes and presented to the four MCS units, suitably ga ted for the appropriate
blade as explained in the caption to Figure 6.
arm signals, Cand Ω, were formed into a logical coincidence, C·Ω, and each
recoil arm was formed into an anticoincidence, R·¯V. These were timed together
to form ( C·Ω)·(R·¯V) and ( C·Ω)·(R·¯V)del(delindicating that the signal
has been delayed by one cyclotron RF period — 43 ns), where the first is
the coincident signals, L,R,B, andT, and the latter are their corresponding
accidentals, La,Ra,Ba, andTa. These signals are grouped together in common
modules for L−RandB−Tand for the two PPMs, which can be inhibited by
the timing sequence. This allows a fan-in of the signals, for example L1,B1,
L2, and B2, together and they are then presented to the same scaler inp ut,
as their respective blades are never in the beam at the same ti me.
The scanning scalers and memory modules10read in the data in synch with
a clock signal. As each blade moves through the beam the scale r advances
through a sequence of channels that are related to the positi on of the blade.

nut Ridge, NY, U.S.A. 10977-6499
13The data is then read out through a routine running in a dedica ted processor11
that stores the results in memory according to the timing seq uence, e.g.,LI,
BI,LII, andBII, and the spin-state. Thus there is a requirement for only fou r
such scalers and memory modules to record two true and two acc idental signals
per blade. This allows many of the more crucial experimental modules to reside
in a single crate, important for the in-crate control throug h the Starburst and
timing sequences. The status of each spin state (+ or −helicity) is nowhere
introduced as a gating signal to any of the hardware; thus avo iding undesirable
cross-talk which might lead to a helicity-dependent electr onics effect. Rather,
the spin state status of the initial state (state 1, see Fig. 7 ) in a pattern of eight
states is separately reported, as a frequency modulated/en crypted signal, to
the computer.
3.2 Data Acquisition
The PPM information was read out of the front-end processor a s a separate
event, there being separate events for the TRIC and other mon itor informa-
tion. This allowed the PPM information to be transferred to t he main data
acquisition computer12while other data was being collected, and vice versa .
The data was then written to tape and made available to other p rocessors
for on-line analysis and monitoring. The last was especiall y important for the
PPM data as it allowed us to monitor both transverse polariza tion compo-
nents and the first moments of polarization on a run-by-run (a pproximately
hourly) basis. If these observables became excessively lar ge, then the beam-
line solenoids or other cyclotron parameters were tuned to r educe them. As
PPM information was available in each data buffer, each buffer (200 ms of
data) could be analyzed separately and bundled as seemed app ropriate for a
regression analysis. A first analysis of such a kind was done i n a semi-online
manner so that more sophisticated monitoring of the experim ent could be
carried out.
4 Results

peak rates for both singles in each individual counter and th e coincidence rate

accidentals (forward arm accidentally in coincidence with the recoils arm) were
typically 35% of the ( C·Ω)·(R·¯V) coincidence rate.
Two higher order accidentals were examined: (1) C·(R·¯V) with an accidental
hit in the Ω counter; and (2) ( C·Ω)·Rwith an accidental hit in the Vcounter.
The first are ‘near’ events in the sense that they are close to t he acceptance of
the PPM with a similar (very slightly lower, see Fig. 3) analy zing power; and
the second are ‘stolen’ events in that they would have been ac cepted as true
events but for the accidental veto. Both might result in erro rs in the measured
intrinsic first moment of polarization coupled to a helicity correlated change
in the beam intensity (otherwise, they just tend to pull down the average
analyzing power slightly). The effects were measured by taki ng data with a 43
ns (one RF period for the TRIUMF cyclotron) delay in the Ω coun ter for case
(1), and a 43 ns delay in the Vcounter for case (2). For an assumed helicity
dependent variation of current,∆I
I= 10−5, the change in the first moment due
to case (1) was 1 .2±0.2×10−3µm, and for case (2) was 0 .0±0.2×10−3µm.
As these would result in false terms to Azof the order of 10−11, they were
inconsequential for the experiment.
Tests were also done with carbon blades replacing the usual CH2blades in
the polarimeter. These indicated that 1% of the true events i n the PPM came
from the carbon in the CH2blades (12C(p,2p)X, etc.). This had a very small
contribution to the effective analyzing power.
As the data collection involved spin off periods intersperse d with the polarized
beam, it was possible to monitor the PPM’s response (instrum ental asymme-
try) to zero polarization (ideally what we would like to see i n the experiment
with a perfect longitudinally polarized beam). An instrume ntal asymmetry as
a function of blade position plot is presented in Figure 9. It was found that
the slope of the instrumental asymmetry was strongly depend ent on the di-
vergence or convergence of the beam, as then the angle of inci dence is position

dependent and the scattering angle dependence on position i s different from
the assumption of a parallel beam. Note that the requirement for the exper-
iment is for as parallel a beam (i.e., very weakly focussed at the target) as
reasonably achievable.
Figure 10 shows a helicity-correlated polarization profile measured by the up-
stream PPM with 200 nA beam and a beam size ( σ) of 5.0 mm. Under those
conditions, each PPM measures an average < P x>and< P y>to±0.002
and< xP y>and< yP x>to±7µm in one hour.
The effective analyzing power as a function of blade position is determined by
moving the beam across the range of the blade sweep with the be am trans-
versely polarized. Absolute calibration was done by compar ing the integrated
result to the existing IBP.
5 Conclusions
The PPM rotation control system has worked very well. It is co nvenient to use
and normally maintains PPM synchronization to ±one shaft encoder line.
The PPM’s have been successfully used throughout the TRIUMF Parity ex-
periment (E497). For three runs (not the full data set) of dat a taken in 1997,

171998 and 1999 (about four months) consisting of about 240 hou rs of TRIC
data (the actual parity violation measurement) collection : The ‘false’ parity
violating analyzing power ( Az) derived from transverse components of polar-
ization coupled with a displacement from the ideal instrume ntal symmetry
axis has been measured as (0 .02±0.01)×10−7. The false Azderived from
the first moments of polarization has been measured as (0 .72±0.19)×10−7.
This confirms the expectation that the latter is a large (inde ed, so far, the
largest) correction. It is also the largest contribution to the E497 error. Im-
proved PPM error to total error could be achieved by changing the number of
targets (and thus the ratio of PPM data collection time to TRI C data collec-
tion time) or seeking some other means of rapidly and accurat ely measuring
the polarization profiles.

Abstract
We present an improved calculation of higher order correcti ons to the one-
loop self energy of 2 Pstates in hydrogen-like systems with small nuclear
charge Z. The method is based on a division of the integration with res pect
to the photon energy into a high and a low energy part. The high energy
part is calculated by an expansion of the electron propagato r in powers of the
Coulomb field. The low energy part is simplified by the applica tion of a Foldy-
Wouthuysen transformation. This transformation leads to a clear separation
of the leading contribution from the relativistic correcti ons and removes higher
order terms. The method is applied to the 2 P1/2and 2P3/2states in atomic
hydrogen. The results lead to new theoretical values for the Lamb shifts and
the fine structure splitting.

1I. INTRODUCTION
The evaluation of the one-loop self-energy of a bound electr on is a long standing problem
in Quantum Electrodynamics. There are mainly two approache s. The first, developed by P.
Mohr [1], relies on a multidimensional numerical integral i nvolving a partial wave expansion
of the electron propagator in the Coulomb field. This approac h is particularly useful for
heavy hydrogen-like ions. The second approach is based on an expansion of the electron
self-energy in powers of Zα,

been introduced by Erickson and Yennie in [4]. Erickson and Y ennie were able to calculate all
the coefficients in (2) except for A60. The calculation of corrections of ( Zα)2relative order is
a highly nontrivial task because the binding Coulomb field en ters in a nonperturbative way,
and there is no closed form expression for the Dirac-Coulomb propagator. Additionally, one-
loop electron self-energy contributes to all orders in Zα, and the separation of the ( Zα)2
relative contribution involves hundreds of terms. A very effi cient scheme of the calculation
has been introduced in [5]. It was calculated there the A60coefficient for the 1 Sand 2S
states in hydrogen atom. The method was based on the division of the whole expression
into two parts, ELandEH, by introducing an artificial parameter ǫwhich is a cutoff in the
photon frequency. In the high energy part EHone expands the electron propagator in powers
of the Coulomb field and uses Feynman gauge. In the low energy p art one uses Coulomb
gauge and applies a multipole expansion. The most important ingredient of this method is
the expansion in the parameter ǫafter the expansion in Zαis performed (for details see the
next section).
The calculation presented in this paper is a further develop ment of this original method.
In the low energy part we use a Foldy-Wouthuysen transformat ion. The transformation
clearly identifies the leading order contribution and separ ates out all higher order terms.
An additional advantage is that the nonrelativistic Schr¨ o dinger-Coulomb propagator can
be used here. A closed-form expression of this propagator is known in coordinate and in
momentum space (for details see [6]). This method is applied to the 2P1/2and 2P3/2states.
All coefficients including A60are obtained. We recover all the previously known results, a nd
the new results for A60are in agreement with those obtained from the extrapolation of
P. Mohr’s data. Our results are relevant for single electron , smallZsystems (for example
atomic hydrogen and He+), which are currently investigated with very high precisio n. New
theoretical values for the Lamb shift of the 2 P1/2and 2P3/2states and the fine structure
summarize our calculations.
2II. THE ǫfw-METHOD
The self-interaction of the electron leads to a shift of the h ydrogen energy levels. This
shift at the one-loop level is given by
δESE=ie2/integraldisplayd4k
(2π)4Dµν(k)/angbracketleft¯ψ|γµ 1
/negationslashp− /negationslashk−m−γ0Vγν|ψ/angbracketright − /angbracketleft¯ψ|δm|ψ/angbracketright, (3)
whereδmrefers to the mass counter term, and it is understood that the photon propagator
Dµνhas to be regularized to prevent ultraviolet divergences. ¯ψis the Dirac adjoint ¯ψ=ψ+γ0.
For theω-integration ( k0≡ω), the lower part of the Feynman integration contour CFis
bent into the “right” half plane with ℜ(ω)>0 and divided into two parts, the low energy
contourCLand the high energy contour CH, see Fig. 1. The ǫparameter corresponds to the
cut-offKwhich was introduced by H. Bethe in his original evaluation o f the low energy part
of the electromagnetic shift of energy levels [2] (specifica lly,K=ǫm). The two contours are
separated along the line ℜ(ω) =ǫm, whereǫis some arbitrary dimensionless parameter,
which we assume to be smaller than unity. This method of ω-integration has been described
in detail in [5]. The two integrations lead to the high and low energy parts ELandEH,
which are functions of the fine structure constant αand of the free parameter ǫ. Their sum,
however,
δESE(α) =EL(α,ǫ) +EH(α,ǫ), (4)
does not depend on ǫ. The most important step is the expansion in ǫafter the expansion in
α. It eliminates, without actual calculations, many terms th at vanish in the limit ǫ→0. To
be more specific, in expanding ELandEHinǫwe keep only finite terms (the ǫ0-coefficients)
and the terms which diverge as ǫ→0. The divergent terms cancel out in the sum, the finite
terms contribute to the Lamb shift. This cancelation of the d ivergent terms is an important
cross-check of the calculation. One may use different gauges of the photon propagator for the
two parts, because the gauge-dependent term vanishes in the limitǫ→0. For convenience,
we use the Feynman gauge for the high and the Coulomb gauge for the low energy part.
In this work, the treatment of the low energy part is largely s implified by the introduc-
tion of a Foldy-Wouthuysen (fw) transformation. It enables one to clearly separate out the
leading (nonrelativistic dipole) term, which gives the α(Zα)4-contribution, from the rela-
tivistic corrections, which give terms in α(Zα)6. An additional advantage is the fact that all
contributions to the low energy part can be evaluated using t he nonrelativistic Schr¨ odinger-
Coulomb-Green’s function, whose closed-form solution is w ell known [6]. Terms which con-
tribute to the Lamb shift up to α(Zα)6can be readily identified, and each of these can be
calculated independently. In the low energy part we may expa nd in the photon momentum
k. The terms which contribute to the Lamb shift in the order of α(Zα)6correspond to the
“non-relativistic dipole” term (involving the non-relati vistic propagator and wave function),
the “non-relativistic quadrupole” term and the “relativis tic dipole” term (which involves the
relativistic corrections to the wave function and the Dirac -Coulomb propagator). The terms
of higher order in kvanishes in the limit ǫ→0.
Calculations of the high-energy part are performed almost e ntirely with the computer
algebra system Mathematica [7]. Because of the presence of an infrared cut-off, one can
expand the Dirac-Coulomb propagator in powers of the Coulom b potential. A subsequent
3expansion of the propagator in electron momenta is also perf ormed. This leads finally to the
calculation of matrix elements of operators containing Vandpon the P-states. Because
P-wave functions vanish at the origin, all of the relevant mat rix elements are finite up to
the order of ( Zα)6.
III. THE HIGH-ENERGY PART
In this part we use the Feynman gauge ( Dµν(k) =−gµν/k2). and the Pauli-Villars
regularization for the photon propagator

k2→1
k2−1
k2−M2, (5)
so that the following expression remains to be evaluated:

/angbracketleft¯ψ|γµ 1
/negationslashp− /negationslashk−m−γ0Vγµ|ψ/angbracketright − /angbracketleft¯ψ|δm|ψ/angbracketright(6)
We start by calculating the matrix element
˜P=/angbracketleft¯ψ|γµ 1
/negationslashp− /negationslashk−m−γ0Vγµ|ψ/angbracketright (7)
up to the order of ( Zα)6. The first step in the evaluation of ˜Pis the expansion of the matrix
M=γµ 1
/negationslashp− /negationslashk−m−γ0Vγµ
in powers of the binding field. We denote the denominator of th e free electron propagator
byD(D=/negationslashp− /negationslashk−m). Realizing that the binding field V=−(Zα)2m/ρcarries two powers
of (Zα) (withρ=r/aBohr), we expand the matrix Mup toV3, which leads in turn to four
matrices, denoted Mi,
M0=γµ1
Dγµ, M 1=γµ1
Dγ0V1
Dγµ, M 2=γµ1
Dγ0V1
Dγ0V1

withM=M0+M1+M2+M3+O((Zα)7). Defining ˜Pi=/angbracketleft¯ψ|Mi|ψ/angbracketright, we write the element
˜Pas the sum
˜P=˜P0+˜P1+˜P2+˜P3+O((Zα)7). (9)
This expansion corresponds to a division of the initial expr ession into 0-,1-,2- and 3-vertex
parts. We then expand each of the matrices Miinto the standard 16 Γ matrices, which form
a basis set of 4 ×4 matrices.
Mi=15/summationdisplay
β=0ci,βΓβwhereci,β=1
4Tr(ΓβMi). (10)
4The expansion coefficients ci,βare rational functions of the binding field, the electron and
photon energy and momenta. They can therefore be expanded in powers ofα, leaving none
of the electron momentum operators in the denominator. Next , we evaluate the matrix
elements of these operators with the relativistic (Dirac) w ave function ψ. It is a property
ofPstates, which vanish at the origin, that up to order ( Zα)6, all of the desired matrix
elements are finite.
As an example, we describe here the evaluation of the three-v ertex matrix element ˜P3=
/angbracketleft¯ψ|M3|ψ/angbracketright. It takes on the same values for both 2 Pstates. Expanding M3into the 16 Γ-
matrices, we find that up to order ( Zα)6, all expansion coefficients vanish except for the
identity Id and γ0-matrices. The expansion coefficients are explicitly
c3,Id= 16V3k2−k2ω−4ω+ 3ω2+ 2
(k2+ 2ω−ω2)4≡b3,IdV3, (11)
wherek=|k|and for simplicity m= 1, and
c3,γ0= 2V3k4−8k2+ 12k2ω+ 16ω−6k2ω2−12ω2+ 4ω3−ω4−8
(k2+ 2ω−ω2)4 ≡b3,γ0V3.(12)
So up to order ( Zα)6, the twoc-expansion coefficients are (except for their dependence on
kandω) functions of the binding field only. Thus, the matrix elemen t˜P3is given by
˜P3=b3,Id/angbracketleft¯ψ|V3|ψ/angbracketright+b3,γ0/angbracketleft¯ψ|γ0V3|ψ/angbracketright. (13)
The relevant matrix element of the wave function is
/angbracketleft¯ψ|V3|ψ/angbracketright=/angbracketleft¯ψ|γ0V3|ψ/angbracketright=−1
24(Zα)6m3+O((Zα)7). (14)
where the first equality holds only in the order of ( Zα)6. The above matrix elements take
on the same values for the 2 P1/2and 2P3/2states because the radial parts of both 2 Pstates
are the same in the non-relativistic limit.
For the other vertex parts, many more terms appear, and the ma trix elements contribute
in the lower order also. We give one example here, to be evalua ted for the 1-vertex part,
/angbracketleft¯ψ|γ0p·(Vp)|ψ/angbracketright=−5
48(Zα)4m3−283
1152(Zα)6m3for 2P1/2. (15)
and
/angbracketleft¯ψ|γ0p·(Vp)|ψ/angbracketright=−5
48(Zα)4m3−71
1152(Zα)6m3for 2P3/2. (16)
For a more detailed review of the calculations see [8]. Havin g calculated ˜P, we subtract the
mass-counter-term before integrating with respect to kandω. The finalkandωintegration
is performed in the following way. Those terms which appear t o be ultraviolet divergent are
regularized and integrated covariantly using Feynman para meter approach. The remaining
terms are integrated with respect to kby residual integration and with respect to ωby
changing the integration variable to
5u=√
2mω−ω2+iω√
2mω−ω2−iω. (17)

IV. THE LOW ENERGY PART
In this part we are dealing with low energy virtual photons, t herefore we treat the binding
field non-pertubatively. Choosing the Coulomb gauge for the photon propagator, one finds
that only the spatial elements of this propagator contribut e. Theω-integration along CLis
performed first, which leads to the following expression for EL,
EL=−e2/integraldisplay
|k|<ǫd3k
(2π)32|k|δT,ij/angbracketleftψ|αieik·r 1
HD−(Eψ−ω)αje−ik·r|ψ/angbracketright(ω≡ |k|).(20)
HDdenotes the Dirac-Coulomb-Hamiltonian, δTis the transverse delta function, and αi
refers to the Dirac α-matrices. In the matrix element
Pij=/angbracketleftψ|αieik·r 1
HD−(Eψ−ω)αje−ik·r|ψ/angbracketright (21)
we introduce a unitary Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation U,
Pij=/angbracketleftUψ|(Uαieik·rU+)1
U(HD−(Eψ−ω))U+(Uαje−ik·rU+)|Uψ/angbracketright. (22)
The lower components of the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformed D irac wave function ψvanish
up to (Zα)2, so that we may approximate |Uψ/angbracketrightby
|Uψ/angbracketright=|φ/angbracketright+|δφ/angbracketrightwith /angbracketleftφ|δφ/angbracketright= 0, (23)
where |φ/angbracketrightis the nonrelativistic (Schr¨ odinger-Pauli) wave functio n, and |δφ/angbracketrightis the relativistic
correction.
We define an operator acting on the spinors as even if it does no t mix upper and lower
components of spinors, and we call the odd operator odd if it m ixes upper and lower com-
ponents. The Foldy-Wouthuysen Hamiltonian consists of eve n operators only. For the upper
left 2 ×2 submatrix of this Hamiltonian, we have the result [9]
HFW=U(HD−(Eψ−ω))U+=m+HS+δH, (24)

δH=−(p)4
8m3+πα
2m2δ(r) +α
4m2r3σ·L (25)
Now we turn to the calculation of the Foldy-Wouhuysen transf orm of the operators
αiexp (k·r). The expression Uαiexp (ik·r)U+is to be calculated. Assuming that ω=|k|
is of the order O((Zα)2), we may expand the expression Uαieik·rU+in powers of ( Zα).
The result of the calculation is

In the limit ǫ→0 the odd operators in the above expression do not contribute to the self
energy in (Zα)2relative order, so one can neglect the odd operators. It can b e shown easily
that also the last term in the above expression (proportiona l tok×Σ) does not contribute
to the Lamb shift in ( Zα)2relative order for ǫ→0.
Because we can ignore odd operators, and because the lower co mponents of the Foldy-
Wouthuysen transformed wave function vanish, we keep only t he upper left 2 ×2 submatrix
of Eq. (26), and we write Uαieik·rU+as

meik·r+δyi, (28)
whereδyiis of order ( Zα)3. It is understood that the termpi
meik·ris also expanded up to
the order (Zα)3. Denoting by Ethe Schr¨ odinger energy ( E=−(Zα)2m/8 for 2P states)
and byδEthe first relativistic correction to E, we can thus write the matrix element Pijas

In this expression, the leading term and the (first) relativi stic corrections can be readily
identified. Spurious lower order terms are not present in Eq. (29). By expansion of the
denominator HS−(E−ω) +δH−δEin powers of α, the whole expression can be written
in a form which involves only the Schr¨ odinger-Coulomb-Gre en’s function
7G(E−ω) =1
HS−(E−ω), (30)
whose closed-form expression in coordinate space is given i n Eq. (33). We now define the
dimensionless quantity
P=m
2δT,ijPij. (31)
Using the symmetry of the P-wave functions and Eq. (29), we easily see that Pcan be
written, up to ( Zα)2, as the sum of the contributions (32, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43). The l eading
contribution (the “non-relativistic dipole”) is given by

to rewrite them to the form that contain only one propagator w ith modified parameters.
Namely, to the desired order in ( Zα), the expression with two propagators can be replaced
by an expression with just one propagator, in which an ( Zα)2-correction is added to the
angular momentum parameter lor to the fine structure constant αin the radial part of the
Schr¨ odinger-Coulomb propagator as given in Eq. (33). For t hePp4andPL·Scontributions,
many more terms appear in the calculation, and derivatives o f the hypergeometric functions
with respect to parameters have to be evaluated. The result c onsists of terms involving
elementary functions and hypergeometric functions only, a nd other terms which involve
slightly more complex functions. Some of the summations giv e rise to the Lerch transcendent

can be evaluated with the help of Eq. (36), for more details se e [8]. Although we do not
describe the calculations in detail, we stress that the summ ation with respect to the k-index
is the decisive point in the calculation. In general, a sensi ble use of contiguous relations
is necessary to simplify the result of any of the summations. Symbolic procedures were
written to accomplish this. Through the compartmentalizat ion of the calculation achieved
by the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation, it has been possib le to keep the average length of
intermediate expressions below 1000 terms.

10TheP-terms are integrated with respect to tby the following procedure. Terms which give
a divergence for ǫ→0 are extracted from the integrand. The extraction can be ach ieved
by a suitable expansion in the argument of the hypergeometri c function(s) which appear in
P(t). The extracted terms consist of elementary functions of tonly, so they can be integrated
analytically. After integration, the terms are first expand ed in (Zα) up to (Zα)2, then inǫup
toǫ0. The remaining part, which involves hypergeometric functi ons, is integrated numerically
with respect to tby the Gaussian method.
Thet-integration leads to F-terms which we name according to the P-termsFnd,Fnq,

for the 2P3/2-state. The A60coefficients are given by
A60(2P1/2) =−0.99891(1) (60)
and
A60(2P3/2) =−0.50337(1). (61)
The last digit is the cumulated inaccuracy of the numerical i ntegrations. The values for the
A40andA61coefficients are in agreement with known results [3].
11These results can be compared to those obtained by P. Mohr [13 ] by extrapolation of his
numerical data for higher Z,
GSE(2) = −0.96(4), GSE(1) = −0.98(4) for 2 P1/2, (62)
and
GSE(2) = −0.46(2), GSE(1) = −0.48(2) for 2 P3/2, (63)
where the function GSE(Z) for 2P-states is defined by

BecauseGSE(Z= 0) =A60, these values are clearly in very good agreement with the res ults
of our analytical calculation. Using P. Mohr’s numerical da ta [12], we have obtained the
following estimates for higher order terms summarized by GSE,7

GSE,7(2P1/2,Z= 1) = 3.1(5) and GSE,7(2P3/2,Z= 1) = 2.3(5). (66)
One of the most important aspects of rather lengthy calculat ions such as those presented
here is to avoid errors. The result has been checked in many wa ys. Except for checking the
values of the terms divergent in ǫ, it was also checked the value of each P-contribution as
ω→0. It can be shown easily that the sum of all contributions to t he matrix element P
in the low-energy part must vanish in the limit ω→0. Care must be taken when checking
the sum, because after the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformatio n, hidden terms are introduced
which do not contribute to the Lamb shift, but contribute in t he limitω→0. The hidden
terms originate from the odd operators in Eq. (26). Taking in to account these terms, the
sum vanishes for both states.
V. OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LAMB SHIFT
For the Lamb shift L, we use the implicit definition
E=mr[f(n,j)−1]−m2
r
2(m+mN)[f(n,j)−1]2+L+Ehfs, (67)
whereEis the energy level of the two-body-system and f(n,j) is the dimensionless Dirac
energy,mis the electron mass, mris the reduced mass of the system and mNis the nuclear
mass.
For the final evaluation of the Lamb shift the following contr ibutions are added:
1. One-loop self energy. The coefficients are presented in thi s work. For the determination
of the Lamb shift the reduced mass dependence of the terms has to be restored.
The relevant formulae are given in [3]. For example, the A60have a reduced mass
dependence of ( mr/m)3. We use Eq. (66) to estimate the theoretical uncertainty fro m
the one–loop contribution.
122. Vacuum polarization correction. It enters for P-states in higher order (for the formulae
see [3], p. 570).
3. Two-loop contributions due to the anomalous magnetic mom ent [15]. It is given in
analogy to the one-loop contribution as

where theB-coefficients are labeled in analogy to the A-coefficients for the one-loop self

has been calculated in [14]. The B62term, which is enlarged by the logarithm, probably
dominates the contributions to the two-loop self energy in h igher order. So the result
may also be used to estimate the theoretical uncertainty of t he two–loop contribution,
coming mainly from the unknown B61coefficient. It is taken to be half the contribution
fromB62.

VI. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
The new theoretical values for the Lamb shifts of the 2 P1/2and 2P3/2states are
L(2P1/2) =−12835.99(8) kHz (76)
and
L(2P3/2) = 12517.46(8) kHz. (77)
From the values of the 2 PLamb shifts, the fine structure can be determined. It turns ou t
that the limiting factor in the uncertatinty is the experime ntal value of the fine structure
constantα. Using a value of [17] (1987)
α−1= 137.0359895(61) (44 ppb) , (78)
the fine structure can be determined as
E(2P3/2)−E(2P1/2) = 10969043(1) kHz . (79)
With the most recent and most precise value of αavailable [18] (1995),
α−1= 137.03599944(57) (4.2 ppb) , (80)
we obtain a value of
E(2P3/2)−E(2P1/2) = 10969041 .52(9)(8) kHz , (81)
where the first error originates from the uncertainty in αand the second from the uncertainty
in the Lamb shift difference. Our result for the fine structure disagrees with that used by
Hagley and Pipkin in [19] for the determination of L(2S−2P1/2). Therefore their result of
L(2S−2P1/2) = 1057839(12) is to be modified and according to our calculat ion it should be
14L(2S−2P1/2) = 1057842(12) kHz . (82)
Precise theoretical predictions for P-states could be used to compare two different kind
of measurements of Lamb shifts in the hydrogen. One is the cla ssic 2S1/2-2P1/2Lamb shift
measured by several groups [20], [21], [19], and the second i s the combined Lamb shift
L(4S−2S)−1
4L(2S−1S) as measured by the H¨ ansch group (for a review see [22]). The
experimental value of 2S Lamb shift can be extracted from E(2 S-2P1/2) having the precise
value for 2 P1/2Lamb shift, and can also be determined from the combined Lamb shift
through the formula

where the subscript expdenotes experimental, and the subscript theodenotes theoretical
values. This theocombination has the property that terms scaling 1 /n3cancel out, which
means that almost all QED effects do not contribute, and there fore the quantity can be
precisely determined. Such a comparison of completely diffe rent experimental techniques is
an interesting and valuable test of high precision experime nts.
The method of calculation presented in this paper could be di rectly applied for the evalu-
ation of Lamb shifts and the fine structure in two electron sys tems, for example in helium or
positronium. It was a purpose of this method to use only a Schr ¨ odinger-Coulomb propaga-
tor, and relativistic effects are incorporated through the F oldy-Wouthuysen transformation.
This method clearly separates out the lower and the higher or der terms, and expresses the
energy shift through the matrix elements of nonrelativisti c operators.

Abstract-- Accurate phase-locked 3:1 division of an optical
frequency was achieved, by using a continuous-wave (cw)
doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator. A fr actional
frequency stability of 2 ×10-17 of the division process has been
achieved for 100 s integration time. The technique developed
in this work can be generalized to the accurate pha se and
frequency control of any cw optical parametric osci llators.

I. INTRODUCTION
Novel compact optical frequency chains rely on visi ble to
near IR broad frequency combs (spanning one octave)
provided by a femtosecond laser that is spectrally
broadened by self-phase modulation in photonic band gap
fibers [1-2]. The traceability of the frequency mea surement
to the microwave primary standard is provided by th e
phase-locking of the RF repetition rate of the femt osecond
laser, which defines the comb mode spacing. Provide d that
we are able to synthesize a frequency difference eq ual to
ν/N within the span of the comb ( ν is the frequency to be
determined and N an integer divider), the frequenci es ν, and
the related subharmonics ν/Ν and (1-N-1)ν can be deduced
in a straightforward step. Thus, the use of an opti cal
division by N can considerably reduce the required span of
the comb generator, and at the same time, reduce by N2 the
φ noise requirement for the phase-locking (or beatno te
counting) of two of the frequency markers to the ne arest
comb modes.
Continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators (OPO )
are promising optical frequency dividers. Divide-by -two
(N=2) frequency degenerate OPOs have been demonstra ted
[3]. For a non-degenerate 3:1 OPO (3 ω→2 ω, ω), the idler
wave must be frequency doubled so that the RF beat
between the signal and the doubled-idler waves can be used
to phase lock the device to zero or to an RF refere nce
frequency [4]. The advantage of these OPO-based div iders
is that they require only a single pump laser sourc e to
generate subharmonics outside the comb spectrum. In a free
running OPO, the phase coherence of the subharmonic
Laboratoire Primaire du Temps et des Fréquences (BN M-
LPTF), Bureau National de Métrologie / Observatoire de
Paris, 61, Avenue de l’observatoire, F-75014, Paris
(France) waves is ultimately limited by the phase diffusion noise
stemming from the spontaneous parametric fluorescen ce.
Once these waves are phase-locked, the coherent nat ure of
the parametric division process leads to subharmoni c phase-
noise reduction by N2 relative to the pump laser phase
noise. We report here on an accurate phase-locked o ptical
frequency divider of a diode laser operating in the range
840-850 nm. We show that even with a weak beatnote
signal-to-noise ratio, and without a fast electro-o ptic cavity
length actuator, it is possible to achieve a very h igh
fractional stability and long-term operation of the divider.
II. THE DRO DIVIDER SETUP
A. Experimental
The doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator ( DRO) is
pumped by a master-oscillator power amplifier (MOPA )
AlGaAs diode laser which is optically injected by a
AlGaAs extended-cavity diode laser (Fig.1). The pum p
wavelength is λp=843.06 nm and its short-term linewidth
100 kHz. The available power at the DRO input is 0. 4 W.
The nearly spherical DRO cavity consists of two hig hly
reflective (at the signal and idler wavelengths) Zn Se mirrors
spaced by L=106 mm. Their radius of curvature is R= 50
mm. The cavity length can be tuned using a 20 mm lo ng
piezoelectric transducer (PZT). A multi-grating, 19 mm
long periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN, poli ng
period Λ=29.2 µm) is temperature phase-matched (T=
100°C) for the 3 ω→(2ω±δ)+(ω/G109δ) interaction. The δ
quantity ( δ<<ω) represents the small radio-frequency
mismatch from perfect division ratio. An intra-cavi ty CaF 2
Brewster plate was inserted in order to couple out as much
as 3 mW of idler power (without the plate only 200 µW
exits the rear mirror), at the expense of an increa sed
oscillation threshold (65 mW compared with 15 mW). The
available signal power is 6 mW. We perform the seco nd-
harmonic generation (SHG) of the idler wave in a PP LN
sample (Λ=35 µm, T=68°C). About 3 mW of signal (2 ω±δ)
and 5 nW of useful doubled-idler (2 ω/G1092δ) waves are
mixed on a 5 GHz bandwidth avalanche photodiode. Th e
resulting 3 δ frequency beat signal is used to control the
division ratio of the DRO. Further details of the
experimental setup can be found elsewhere [5].

B. Single mode pair operation and beatnote detectio n
Due to the weak dispersion of the extraordinary ind ex of
refraction of lithium niobate from 2.53 µm to 1.26 µm, the
signal and idler free spectral ranges (FSR ≈ 1.15 GHz)
differ by only 1 or 2 MHz. Consequently more than 7 00
nearly resonant signal-idler mode pairs can experie nce
similar gain within a mode cluster, giving rise to permanent
axial mode hops (a few gigahertz away) or cluster h ops (a
few tens of gigahertz) under free running DRO opera tion.
The DRO natural tendency to mode-hop requires a
permanent and effective sub-nanometric servo contro l of its
cavity length in order to detect a stable beatnote prior to the
phase-locking step. Single mode pair operation is a chieved
with a standard side-of-fringe ( sidelock) servo. The error
signal of this servo loop is built by comparing the signal
wave power detected by an InAs photodiode to a refe rence
voltage that sets the frequency detuning s
cssω−ω=∆ of
the signal wave (sω) from the cavity eigenmode frequency
ss
cLqc2 /=ω (sL is the signal wave optical path length of
the resonator and q the mode number). This error signal is
then integrated and fed back to the PZT transducer. The
bandwidth of the sidelock integral servo is limited to 1 kHz
by mode-hops. Let us note that this sidelock servo is not a
pure frequency servo. While it maintains constant b oth
relative detunings, it does not correct for the dri ft of the
cavity eigenmode frequencies. Furthermore it conver ts any
power fluctuation into a frequency correction. The resulting
beat at 3δ under pure sidelock servo is hence expected to be
noisy. Under sidelock servo, the DRO can oscillate on a
single mode pair during 5-15 minutes, which leaves enough
time to proceed to the phase-locking step.
The selection of the appropriate mode pairs (e.g. t hose
yielding a beanote falling within the 5 GHz electro nic
detection bandwidth) is the first experimental diff iculty we
had to overcome. Because of the high mode pair dens ity,
the particular pair captured by the sidelock is usu ally random. Fine tuning of the OPO-PPLN temperature and of
the sidelock reference voltage have to be repetitiv ely
processed until a 3 δ beat signal in the frequency range 200
MHz-5 GHz, with a typical power level of –50dBm and a
signal to noise (S/N) ration of /G9730 dB in a 100 kHz
bandwidth, is detected on the spectrum analyzer. Th e beat
frequency drift is rather low (less than 1 MHz per minute).
Unfortunately the large short-term frequency jitter (/G97300
kHz peak-to-peak excursion) under sidelock servo
combined with the limited bandwidth of the unique P ZT
transducer (<10 kHz) prevented us from performing a direct
phase locking, by summing (after a proper filtering ) the
phase error derived from a stable RF source with th e
sidelock error signal. With a wide enough control
bandwidth provided for instance by an electro-optic phase
modulator [3-4], such a procedure would readily wor k. In
the present case, since the sidelock servo (which m aintains
the pre-requisite single mode operation) has to be
maintained during the phase locking step, various n ested
servo loops that we shall detail in the following s ection
have to be implemented simultaneously in order to a chieve
a phase locked divider.
III. THE PHASE-COHERENT FREQUENCY DIVIDER
The ways we found to circumvent these difficulties are
multiple. Given the noisy feature of the free runni ng
beatnote, the procedure must comply to the followin g
preliminary steps. At first we reduced the large be at
frequency fluctuations by replacing (in a continuou s way to
prevent a mode hop) the sidelock servo by a much qu ieter
pure frequency lock servo. This consequently reduces th e
required dynamical range of the phase servo by mini mizing
the beat frequency jitter and drift. Secondly we in creased
further the dynamic range of the phase error signal by
dividing the beanote frequency (by 128) in order to reduce
the control bandwidth required to achieve a stable (free of
phase jumps) phase locked loop. Finally, to increas e the
long-term operation of the phase-locked divider (li mited by
the occurrence of a mode hop), we developed a metho d
allowing the coexistence of the frequency (FL) and the
phase locked (PL) loops. Fig.2 sketches the various nested
loops that we have implemented to achieve a long-te rm
phase locked, mode-hop-free operation during more t han
one hour.
Let us describe now in detail the phase locking ste ps.
Once a “free running” beatnote is captured accordin g to the
procedure described in section II.B, its frequency is down-
converted to a fixed RF frequency of 100 MHz by mix ing it
with a microwave synthesizer synchronized to a high
stability 10 MHz reference from an H-maser. To avoi d false
triggering of the digital by-128 frequency divider, due to
additive AM noise, we have improved the S/N ratio o f the
down-converted beatnote by phase-locking a 100 MHz
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to it. This ser vo loop is
denoted the tracking loop in fig.2. The bandwidth of this
phase loop is wide enough (1 MHz) to track almost 3
perfectly the phase/frequency fluctuations of the o ptical
beat.

The 20 dB S/N ratio achieved in the loop bandwidth makes
very improbable noise-induced cycle slips. The high er S/N
ratio at the VCO output also allows convenient coun ting of
the beat frequency with a RF counter referenced to the H-
maser, for further diagnosis of the stability of th e DRO
divider.
When the tracking loop is closed, the correction
voltage applied to the VCO varicap is proportional to the
frequency difference between the down-converted
instantaneous frequency and the free-running VCO
frequency. This voltage provides the error signal o f the
frequency loop (FL) of fig.2. By feeding back (with an
appropriate sign) this correction voltage to the PZ T, one
slaves in turn the jittered 3 δ beat frequency to the natural
VCO frequency. Tuning the VCO frequency results hen ce
in the tuning of the 3 δ beat frequency. To insure a
permanent and stable control of the DRO cavity the FL and
sidelock error signals are summed before integratio n and
both loops are used simultaneously for a while. The stable
coexistence of both loops is possible because both error
signals have a large dynamic range and provide simi lar
physical information. When the gain of the FL servo is
sufficiently large the sidelock loop can be disable d without
inducing a mode hop. Operating the divider under pu re FL
provides a strong reduction of the beatnote fluctua tions
down to a few kiloHertz level compared with 300 kHz
when both loops are coexisting, meaning that the si delock
acts as a noise source for the FL. As a consequence , under
pure FL operation the DRO tendency to mode hop is t hen
notably reduced. In Fig. 3 we have plotted the Alla n
standard deviation σy(τ) of the DRO, under sidelock (upper
curve) and frequency lock (lower curve). The data w ere
derived from 3 δ frequency measurements using 1s counting
gate time. The quantity σy , where y is defined as
y=<δ(t)>/iν and νi=118.6 THz is the idler frequency, measures the stability of the optical frequency div ision. Fig
3 illustrates the additional frequency noise brough t by the
sidelock servo, as compared with the FL servo. The origin
of this additional noise stems from the hybrid natu re of the
information carried by the side-of-fringe discrimin ator
signal, as discussed in section II. In particular w e suspect a
specific thermally induced AM to FM noise conversio n
processes [5] to be the cause of the large frequenc y jitter of
the 3δ beat under pure sidelock servo. Indeed, the 300 kH z
jitter cannot be reasonably imputed either to the s mall pump
laser amplitude noise (1% intensity fluctuation wou ld
correspond to 10 kHz frequency excursion given an
estimated cavity linewidth of ~5 MHz) or to the aco ustical
cavity perturbations since they are efficiently cor rected by
the FL loop.

Fig. 3. Allan standard deviation of the 3:1 divider frequency
noise, relative to the idler frequency under sidelo ck (circles)
and frequency lock (triangles). The frequency locki ng of
the OPO beatnote to the VCO decreases the beat nois e by
almost two decades at τ=1s.
To this point, the beat fluctuations are low enough to
allow the final phase-locking step. The 100 MHz VCO
output is digitally divided by 128 and the resultin g output
signal mixed in a digital phase detector with a 781 kHz
synthesizer, synchronized to the H-maser. The outpu t phase
error signal has a 128 π peak-to-peak dynamic range,
because of the division stage, and hence allows a r educed
phase locking loop bandwidth. The most natural way to
control the beatnote frequency when the FL loop is closed
is to change the VCO varicap voltage. We took advan tage
of this entry point to phase lock the DRO divider. In this
way we achieved in fact a cascaded phase locking of the
beatnote. This loop is denoted the phase loop (PL) in fig.2.
Hence the VCO itself acts as a second fast transduc er of the
DRO divider. Furthermore, summing on the VCO varica p
the tracking and phase lock correction signals lead s to a
simultaneous operation of both the FL and the PL lo ops.
Under FL and PL action, the down-converted beat
frequency fluctuations dramatically dropped to the
millihertz level for τ=100 s counting gate time.
The residual phase error at the output of the phase
detector was displayed on an FFT spectrum analyzer (fig.4)
and used to adjust the relative gains of the FL and PL by
minimizing the residual phase error variance

resonance frequency which ultimately limits the ove rall
gain of the system. The sharp low-frequency peaks a t ~ 50
Hz and ~100Hz are due to the electrical power suppl y
pickups and the remaining broader peaks (20, 250 a nd
1000 Hz) probably due to the acoustical resonance of the
DRO mechanical structure. The major contribution to 2
φσ
arises from the broad noise feature between 103 and 104Hz
in fig.4, which we identified as possibly originati ng from
thermo-optically induced AM to FM noise conversion (a
weak thermal self-stabilization of the optical path length of
the DRO was observed as in ref. [5]). The total pha se noise
variance deduced from the spectrum of fig.4 is 2 . 12=σφ

energy in a narrow coherent peak. Indeed, the measu red
residual 3 δ beatnote linewidth was 3 kHz, and no coherent
peak was clearly visible. The DRO could remain phas e-
locked for more than one hour, without any mode hop ,
which highlights the robustness of the combined FL/ PL
loops. The numerical modeling of the action of the nested
loops reveals that such a coexisting FL/PL loop sys tem can
tolerate very large frequency jumps (hence the redu ced
mode hop events). In particular, when the phase goe s out of
lock the FL brings back the frequency error within the
capture range of the phase lock loop, shortening it s
recapture delay by a factor of 100.

frequency), measured from the phase error signal, w hen all
loops in fig.2 (except the sidelock loop) are close d.
The Allan standard deviation of the phase-locked
divider is reported in fig.5. The improvement of th e short-
term (τ=1s) stability of the division process is nearly th ree
orders of magnitude compared with the stability und er FL
action only (see fig.3). For longer integration tim e (up to
τ=100s gate time), the stability decreases as τ-1, meaning
that the residual phase excursion is bounded to les s than 2π
in the long term. This also demonstrates that no cycle slips
occurred during the measurement. This is a clear si gnature
of the phase locking of the nearly subharmonic wave s.
IV. CONCLUSION
We have achieved a phase-coherent optical frequency
division by 3 of 843 nm light, using a doubly reson ant
optical parametric oscillator. A relative optical d ivider
frequency stability of 2 ×10-17 for 100 s integration time, at
the idler wave is achieved, which highlights the po tential
resolution of parametric dividers in a frequency
measurement setup. This PPLN-DRO also generates a
comb of phase-locked frequencies ( ωp/3, 2ωp/3, ωp, 4/3ωp,
5ωp/3, 2ωp) from various non-phase matched conversion
mixings that occur within the chip. Measuring any i nterval
between these sidebands leads to a simple determina tion of
all frequencies of the comb. Combined with a femtos econd
Ti:Sa laser clock [2], such a phase-locked OPO
subharmonic comb can provide a direct microwave to deep
mid-IR link or reduce by one third the required spa n of
repetition rate stabilized femtosecond lasers. An a lternative
implementation of 3:1 DRO dividers would consist in
patterning both OPO and idler SHG interactions on a single
PPLN chip. The intra-cavity cascaded nonlinearities would
then induce a self phase locking of the signal and idler
waves by mutual injection locking. Such an all-opti cal
phase locking would avoid the use of the complex
electronic phase-lock loops.

Abstract
We investigate solutions to the equation ∂tE − D ∆E=λS2E, where S(x,t)
is a Gaussian stochastic field with covariance C(x−x′,t,t′), and x∈Rd.
It is shown that the coupling λcN(t) at which the N-th moment /an}b∇acketle{tEN(x,t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht
diverges at time t, is always less or equal for D>0 than for D= 0. Equality
holds under some reasonable assumptions on Cand, in this case, λcN(t) =
Nλc(t) where λc(t) is the value of λat which /an}b∇acketle{texp[λ/integraltextt
0S2(0,s)ds]/an}b∇acket∇i}htdiverges.
TheD= 0 case is solved for a class of S. The dependence of λcN(t) ond
is analyzed. Similar behavior is conjectured when diffusion is replaced by
diffraction, D → iD, the case of interest for backscattering instabilities in
laser-plasma interaction.

1I. INTRODUCTION
We investigate the development of a linear amplification in a system driven by the square
of a Gaussian noise. This problem arose and continues to be of interest in modeling the
backscattering of an incoherent high intensity laser light by a plasma. There is a large
litterature on this topic, and we refer the interested reade r to Ref. [1] for background.
Our starting point here is the work by Rose and Dubois [2] who i nvestigated the following
equation for the complex amplitude E(x,z) of the scattered electric field
∂zE(x,z)−iD∆E(x,z) =λ|S(x,z)|2E(x,z),
z∈[0,L], x∈Λ⊂R2,andE(x,0) =E0(x).(1)
In Eq. (1), zandxcorrespond to the axial and transverse directions in a plasm a of length
Land cross-sectional domain Λ. The input at z= 0,E0(x), is a given function of xand Λ
will be generally taken to be a torus (e.g. in numerical solut ions of Eq. (1) using spectral
methods). The coupling constant λ >0 is proportional to the average laser intensity and
Dis a constant parameter introduced for convenience. The com plex amplitude of the laser
electric field S(x,z) is a homogeneous Gaussian stochastic field defined by
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,z)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,z)S(x′,z′)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0,
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,z)S(x′,z′)∗/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=C(x−x′,z−z′),
where the correlation function C(x,z) is the solution to
∂zC(x,z) +i
2∆C(x,z) = 0,
z∈[0,L], x∈Λ,andC(x,0) =C(x),(2)
withC(x) a given function of x[3], normalized so that C(0)≡ /an}b∇acketle{t|S(x,z)|2/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 1.
Using heuristic arguments and numerical simulations, Rose and DuBois found that the
expected value of the energy density of the scattered field /an}b∇acketle{t|E(x,L)|2/an}b∇acket∇i}htdiverged for every
L>0 asλincreased to some critical value λc(L). The average /an}b∇acketle{t|E|2/an}b∇acket∇i}htis over the realizations
of the Gaussian field S. This divergence indicates a breakdown in the assumptions m ade in
2deriving Eq. (1), which neglects both nonlinear saturation and transient time evolution [2,4].
Physically, it can be interpreted as indicating a change in t he nature of the amplification
caused by the plasma.
To see the origin of this divergence in its simplest form, con sider the case where Dis set
equal to zero in Eq. (1), and neglect all dependence of Sonxandz. We are then led to the
equation
dE(z)
dz=λS2E(z), (3)
which yields
E(z) =E(0)eλS2z, z> 0.
HereS2=S2
1+S2
2andS1,S2are two independent real Gaussian random variables with zer o
mean and unit variance. It is easily seen that the probabilit y distribution of E(z), setting
E(0) = 1, has the density
W(E,z) = (2λz)−1E−[1+(2 λz)−1]forE ≥1, z> 0. (4)
If we now take moments of Eat some value Lofz, we find that /an}b∇acketle{tEN(L)/an}b∇acket∇i}htwill diverge
whenever 2 NλL ≥1. At the critical coupling λcN(L) = (2NL)−1, there is a qualitative
transition of the amplification of /an}b∇acketle{tEN(L)/an}b∇acket∇i}htfrom a regime where it is dominated by the bulk
of the order-one-fluctuations of Sto a regime where it is dominated by the large fluctuations
ofS. This toy model can be thought of as an idealization in which t he size of the plasma
is very small compared to the correlation length of the laser field. This is certainly not a
reasonable physical approximation and we shall later consi der situations in which Sin Eq.
(3) isz-dependent with a covariance C(z,z′). The equation is then still solvable more or less
explicitly, depending on the form of C, at least as far as the dependence of the divergence
of the moments of EonλandLis concerned. The main difference from Eq. (4) is that for
small enough values of λ, the first few moments need not diverge for any L.
In this paper, we extend these results to the x-dependent case where iDin Eq. (1) is
replaced by D, i.e. we consider a diffusive process in xrather than a diffractive one. Some-
what surprisingly the diffusion does not suppress the onset o f divergences in moments of the
3field. This suggests a similar behavior for the diffractive ca se – in accord with the numerical
results of [2] – but we are unable to prove this at the present t ime.
Before going on to the formulation and presentation of resul ts for the diffusive case, we
make some remarks about the relation between expectations o ver different realizations of
the Gaussian driving term |S|2and the outcome of a given experiment. Accepting the
idealizations inherent in assuming Gaussian statistics an d neglect of nonlinear terms, the
physically relevant question relating to the solution of th e stochastic PDE (1) appears to be
the following: What is the probability that for given Λ and Lthere will be small regions in
Λ through which a significant fraction of the total incoming p ower is backscattered, (here
”total” means through the whole domain Λ). Put more physical ly, imagine Λ to be divided
up intoM≫1 cells of equal area |Λ|/Mand letR≫1/Mbe a specified number. We want
to compute the probability Pthat in at least one of the cells the integral of |E|2over that
cell exceeds R|Λ|. In the case where Dis set equal to zero, this can be answered by taking
for the cell size the transverse correlation length of |S|2and assuming the field inside each
cell to be transversally constant and evolving along zunder Eq. (3) with a z-dependent S.
One finds that Pgreatly increases as λpasses its critical value for the divergence of the
second moment, from P≪1 forλ<λ c2(L) toP≃1 forλ>λ c2(L). We expect that this
probability will behave similarly in real systems.
The outline of the rest of this paper is as follows. In Sec. II w e introduce our diffusion-
amplification model. In Sec. III we prove that the value of the critical coupling obtained
without the diffusion term cannot be less than the one obtaine d with the diffusion term. In
Sec. IV we prove that for a large class of Gaussian fields Sthe values of the critical coupling
obtained with or without the diffusion term are the same. Sect ion V is devoted to the
explicit solution of the diffusion-free problem in the parti cular case where the on-axis field
S(0,z) is a linear functional of a Gauss-Markov process. Finally, in Sec. VI we study the
dependence of the critical coupling on the space dimensiona lity in the case of a factorable
correlation function C.
4II. MODEL AND DEFINITIONS
As explained in the introduction, we consider a modified vers ion of the linear convective
amplifier model obtained by replacing iDbyDon the left-hand side of Eq. (1). Taking
D= 1/2 without loss of generality, one is thus led to the problem
∂tE(x,t)−1
2∆E(x,t) =λS(x,t)2E(x,t),
t∈[0,T], x∈Rd,andE(x,0) =E0(x),(5)
where, following the usual notation used in diffusion proble ms, the time variable t(resp.T)
plays the role of the axial space variable z(resp.L). In Eq. (5), we restrict ourselves to the
cases where S(x,t) is a real homogeneous Gaussian field defined by
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0,
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,t)S(x′,t′)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=C(x−x′,t,t′),
with the normalization C(0,0,0)≡ /an}b∇acketle{tS(x,0)2/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 1, and we will take E0(x)≡1 as an initial
condition. Note that S(x,t) is not assumed to be stationary in t, and that the rest of our
analysis is essentially unaffected if we replace Rdby ad-dimensional torus.
The critical coupling λcN(T) and its diffusion-free counterpart λcN(T) are defined by
λcN(T) = inf {λ>0 :/an}b∇acketle{tE(0,T)N/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= +∞}, (6a)
λcN(T) = inf {λ>0 :/an}b∇acketle{teNλ/integraltextT
0S(0,t)2dt/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= +∞}, (6b)
where /an}b∇acketle{t./an}b∇acket∇i}htdenotes the average over the realizations of S. For a given T >0, Eqs. (6) gives
the value of λat which /an}b∇acketle{tE(x,T)N/an}b∇acket∇i}htblows up with and without diffusion respectively.
Finally, in order not to make the calculations too cumbersom e, we will use in the following

III. COMPARISON OF λCN(T)AND λCN(T)
In this section we prove that λcN(T)≤λcN(T). We begin with two technical lemmas
that will be useful in the following.
Lemma 1 : Suppose the covariance function C(x,t,t′) is continuous. Let µx(t)
1≥µx(t)

To show (7), consider the Hilbert space of the L2(dt) functions ϕ(n,t)≡ϕ(t) with
the scalar product ( ϕ,ψ). SinceC(s,t) is continuous in ( s,t), and therefore bounded in
compact sets, we have that/integraltext/integraltextC(s,t)2dsdt<+∞. By [5], Theorem VI.23, it follows
6that the covariance operator is compact (and self-adjoint) inL2(dt). Therefore there is
an orthonormal basis {ϕj}j≥1such that ˆTCϕj=µx(t)
jϕj. Consider now the sequence of
random variables Xj= (S,ϕ j). As linear functionals of the Gaussian field S, theXj’s form

|x(t)|<δfor everyt∈[0,T].
The proof of this lemma is straightforward: from the uniform convergence condition on
C(x,s,t) it follows that ∀ε >0,∃δ >0 such that |C(s,t)−C0(s,t)|< εfor everyxn(·)∈
Bδ,T, 1≤n≤N. Thus, ∀ε′>0,∃δ >0 such that

for everyxn(·)∈Bδ,T, 1≤n≤N. It remains to take ε′=ε/(NT), which proves Lemma 2.
We can now state the main result of this section. Namely, that one of the diffusion effects
on the divergence of the moments of E(x,T) is a lowering (or, more exactly, a non-increasing)
of the critical coupling. The rigorous formulation of this r esult can be stated as the following
proposition.
7Proposition 1 : For every T >0, if lim x→0sups,t∈[0,T]|C(x,s,t)−C(0,s,t)|= 0, then
λcN(T)≤λcN(T).
In order to prove this proposition, one writes the moments of Ein terms of the Feynman-
Kac formula

of the covariance operator ˆtC0. Letφ1(t) be the normalized eigenfunction associated with
µ1, andφ(t)≡φ(n,t) =N−1/2φ1(t) for every 1 ≤n≤N. [N.B. : the factor N−1/2ensures
the normalization ( φ,φ) = 1]. By definition of µx(t)
1, one has
µx(t)

By Lemma 2, ∀ε>0,∃δ >0 such that
(φ,ˆTCφ)≥(φ,ˆTC0φ)−ε=Nµ1−ε (10)
for everyxn(·)∈Bδ,T, 1≤n≤N. If one now takes ε<Nµ 1−1

soλ≥λcN(T) which proves the proposition 1.
Note that imposing the uniform convergence of C(x,s,t) toC(0,s,t) is not a very restric-
tive condition. As far as we know, it seems to be fulfilled by an y nonpathological stochastic
fieldSof physical interest.
8IV. EQUALITY OF λCN(T)AND λCN(T)FOR A CLASS OF S
For a large class of Gaussian fields Sit is possible to prove that diffusion has no effect
on the onset of the divergence of /an}b∇acketle{tE(x,T)N/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, i.e.λCN(T) =λcN(T).
Proposition 2 : Assume that for every T > 0 one has lim x→0sups,t∈[0,T]|C(x,s,t)−
C(0,s,t)|= 0, and that |C(x,s,t)| ≤C(0,s,t) for every x∈Rdands,t∈[0,T]. Then
λcN(T) =λcN(T).
The proof of this proposition is as follows: By the uniform co nvergence condition on
C(x,s,t) and Proposition 1 one already has λcN(T)≤λcN(T). It remains to show that
λcN(T)≤λcN(T). Letµ1be the largest eigenvalue of the covariance operator ˆtC0. Letφ1(t)
be a principal (normalized) eigenvector for the covariance operator ˆTC. One has
µx(t)
1= (φ1,ˆTCφ1)≤(|φ1|,|ˆTCφ1|)≤(|φ1|,ˆTC0|φ1|)≤Nµ1,
where the second inequality follows from the condition |C(x,s,t)| ≤C(0,s,t). Suppose now
λ<λcN(T), i.e.λ<(2Nµ1)−1. Thenλ<(2µx(t)
1)−1and by Lemma 1

Since this inequality is uniform over all Brownian paths, we finally have

and therefore λ<λ cN(T), which proves the proposition 2.
This result shows that for Gaussian fields Sfulfilling the not so restrictive conditions of
Proposition 2, it is sufficient to solve the diffusion-free pro blem to determine the onset of the
divergence of /an}b∇acketle{tE(x,T)N/an}b∇acket∇i}ht. It is therefore interesting to show how such fields can be act ually
obtained. To this end, the remaining of this section will be d evoted to explicitely construct
two typical examples of stochastic fields Swhich fulfill the conditions of Proposition 2.
9A. an example of nonstationary S
The first example is the diffusive counterpart of the Gaussian field defined by Eq. (2).
LetS(x,t) be the solution to
∂tS(x,t)−1
2∆S(x,t) = 0,
t∈[0,T], x∈Rd,andS(x,0) =S(x),(11)
where S(x) is a real homogeneous Gaussian field defined by
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0,
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x)S(x′)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=C(x−x′),(12)
withC(x) a given [3] function of xnormalized such that C(0)≡ /an}b∇acketle{tS(x,0)2/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 1. One has
S(x,t) =/integraldisplay
S(k)eikx−1
2k2tddk, (13)
where S(k) is the Fourier transform of S(x), and from Eqs. (12) and (13) it follows that
S(x,t) is a real homogeneous nonstationary Gaussian field with
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0,
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,t)S(x′,t′)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=/integraltextC(k)eik(x−x′)−1
2k2(t+t′)ddk,(14)
where C(k) is the Fourier transform of C(x). Since C(k) is real and positive [3], one has
|C(x,s,t)| ≡ |/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,s)S(0,t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht|
=/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/vextendsingle/integraldisplay

2k2(s+t)ddk=C(0,s,t),
for everyx∈Rdands,t∈[0,T], soS(x,t) fulfills the conditions of Proposition 2.
B. an example of stationary S
The second example is provided by a modified version of Eq. (11 ) obtained by adding a
source term ` a la Langevin on its right-hand side. Namely, le tS(x,t) be the solution to
∂tS(x,t)−1
2∆S(x,t) =L(x,t),
t∈]− ∞,T], x∈Rd,andS(x,−∞) = 0,(15)
10where the Langevin source term L(x,t) is a homogeneous Gaussian white noise defined by
/an}b∇acketle{tL(x,t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0,
/an}b∇acketle{tL(x,t)L(x′,t′)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=−δ(t−t′)∆xC(x−x′),(16)
withC(x) a given [3] function of xnormalized such that C(0) = 1. The solution to Eq. (15)
reads
S(x,t) =/integraldisplay
ddk/bracketleftbigg
eikx/integraldisplayt
−∞e−1
2k2(t−s)L(k,s)ds/bracketrightbigg
, (17)
whereL(k,t) is the Fourier transform of L(x,t). From Eqs. (16) and (17) it can be shown
thatS(x,t) is a real homogeneous stationary Gaussian field with
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0,
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,t)S(x′,t′)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=/integraltextC(k)eik(x−x′)−1
2k2|t−t′|ddk,(18)
where C(k) is the Fourier transform of C(x). As previously, since C(k) is real and positive
[3], one has
|C(x,s,t)| ≡ |/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,s)S(0,t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht|

C(k)e−1
2k2|s−t|ddk=C(0,s,t),
for everyx∈Rdands,t∈[0,T], and soS(x,t) fulfills the conditions of Proposition 2.
More generally, it can be checked that any real homogeneous G aussian field S(x,t) defined
by
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0,
/an}b∇acketle{tS(x,t)S(x′,t′)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht=/integraltextC(k,t,t′)eik(x−x′)ddk,
where C(k,t,t′) is real and positive, fulfills the conditions of Propositio n 2.
V. EXPLICIT SOLUTION OF THE DIFFUSION-FREE PROBLEM FOR A
CLASS OF S
In this section we show that an explicit computation of the di ffusion-free amplification
factor /an}b∇acketle{texp(Nλ/integraltextT
0S(0,t)2dt)/an}b∇acket∇i}htcan be achieved if S(0,t) is a linear functional of a Gauss-
11Markov process. Note that determining λcN(T) amounts to finding the largest eigenvalue of
the covariance operator ˆtC0, which in principle can always be achieved, at least numeric ally.
As shown above, λcN(T)≥λcN(T) with equality holding when Proposition 2 is applicable.
SinceλcN(T) =N−1λc1(T) in the diffusion free case, we will take N= 1 in the remaining
of this section without loss of generality.
A. Solution of the diffusion-free problem using the Feynman- Kac formula
We consider the case where the Gaussian process S(0,t) can be written as
S(0,t) =/an}b∇acketle{tc,Y(t)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht, (19)
where /an}b∇acketle{tx,y/an}b∇acket∇i}ht ≡x†y=/summationtext
ixiyi,cis a given n-dimensional vector, and Y(t) is a n-dimensional
Gauss-Markov process defined as the solution to the linear st ochastic differential equation
dY(t) +AY(t)dt=GdB(t),
Y(0) Gaussian with /an}b∇acketle{tY(0)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0.(20)
Here,AandGare constant n×nmatrices, and B(t) is an-dimensional Brownian motion.
From Eqs. (19) and (20), it follows that one can write the diffu sion-free amplification factor
as a Feynman-Kac formula

dK(t)
dt=GG†−[AK(t) +K(t)A†] + 2λK(t)CK(t),
K(0) =U.(24)
Thus, from Eqs. (21) and (23) one has
/angbracketleftbigg
eλ/integraltextT
0S(0,t)2dt/angbracketrightbigg
= eλ/integraltextT
0TrCK(t)dt. (25)
withK(t) given by the Riccati equation (24).
The solution to Eq. (24) is known to explode in finite time for l arge enough λ. Forn= 1,
in which case S(0,t) is itself Markovian, Eq. (24) is solved straightforwardly (see Sec. VB).
Forn≥2, the solution to Eq. (24) can be obtained by the so-called Ha miltonian method:
we define the 2 n×2nmatrix
H=

GG†−A
and solve the linear differential equation

with the initial condition

.
The solution K(t) to the Riccati equation (24) is easily checked to be given by
K(t) =P(t)Q(t)−1, (27)
which explodes if and only if Q(t) becomes singular [6]. Since Eq. (26) is a linear equation,
it can in principle be solved by a symbolic computation progr am.
B. Application to the n =1 case
As an example, let us consider the simplest case n= 1 withC(0,t,t′) = e−|t−t′|. In this
limit, the diffusion-free amplification factor reads
/angbracketleftbigg
eλ/integraltextT
0S(0,t)2dt/angbracketrightbigg

13whereY(t) is the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process

2dB(t),
/an}b∇acketle{tY(0)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 0,/an}b∇acketle{tY(0)2/an}b∇acket∇i}ht= 1,(29)
andK(t) is the solution to the Riccati equation
1
2dK(t)
dt= 1−K(t) +λK(t)2,
K(0) = 1.(30)
Equation (30) can be easily solved by means of the substituti on 2λK(t) =−dlogu(t)/dt.
Inserting the result into Eq. (28), one obtains
/angbracketleftbigg
eλ/integraltextT

/radicalig
cos(αT) +α−1(1−2λ) sin(αT), λ> 1/4, (33)
whereα=|1−4λ|1/2. It can be seen from Eq. (33) that, for λ>1/4,/an}b∇acketle{texp(λ/integraltextT
0S(0,t)2dt)/an}b∇acket∇i}ht
diverges as Ttends (from below) to the critical time Tc(λ) given by
Tc(λ) =1√
4λ−1tan−1/parenleftigg√
4λ−1
2λ−1/parenrightigg
, (34)
where the determination of tan−1is such that 0 <tan−1≤π. Inverting Eq. (34) and using
λcN(T) =N−1λc1(T) gives the diffusion-free critical coupling λcN(T) in the cases where
C(0,t,t′) = e−|t−t′|.
VI. DEPENDENCE OF THE CRITICAL COUPLING ON SPACE
DIMENSIONALITY
In this section we study the dependence of λcN(T) on the space dimensionality D. We
will restrict ourselves to the cases where the correlation f unctionCcan be written out as
CD(x,t,t′) =Cd(x||,t,t′)CD−d(x⊥,t,t′), (35)
14withCD,CdandCD−dcontinuous, symmetric, and positive definite, and where x||is the
projection of xonto ad-dimensional subspace ( d<D ) andx⊥=x−x||. In the following, a
correlation function of this type will be called a factorabl e correlation function. It is worth
noting that such a correlation function can be very easily ob tained, e.g. when the Gaussian
fieldSis defined by either Eq. (14) or Eq. (18) in the cases where C(k) is factorable as
C(k) =Cd(k||)CD−d(k⊥).
We prove that as λincreases, the divergence of /an}b∇acketle{tE(x,T)N/an}b∇acket∇i}htobtained in the original D-
dimensional problem cannot occur before the one obtained in the projected d-dimensional
problem whenever 0 ≤CD−d(0,t,t)≤1. Since many stochastic fields Sof physical interest,
e.g. in optics, do have a factorable correlation function, w e expect this result to be useful
for the comparison of two-dimensional numerical simulatio ns with experiments and three-
dimensional numerical simulations. Before expressing thi s result in a more rigorous way, we
begin with two technical lemmas that will be needed in the fol lowing.
Lemma 3 : Consider a D-dimensional problem and let µx(t)
1be the largest eigenvalue
of the covariance operator ˆTCDand N given continuous paths x(t). ThenλcN(T,D) =
[2 supx(t)µx(t)
1]−1.
This lemma can be proven straightforwardly by successively considering the inequalities
λ>[2 supx(t)µx(t)
1]−1andλ<[2 supx(t)µx(t)
1]−1, and by following the same lines of reasoning
as for the proofs of Propositions 1 and 2 respectively, where one replaces the N paths x(t) = 0
corresponding to λcN(T) = [2µx(t)=0
1]−1by N paths maximizing µx(t)
1[7].
Lemma 4 : LetK0(s,t),K1(s,t), andK2(s,t) be three symmetric kernels such that:
(i)K0(s,t) =K1(s,t)K2(s,t); (ii)K2is a positive definite continuous symmetric kernel;
(iii) 0 ≤K2(t,t)<1 and the largest eigenvalue of K1is positive, or K2(t,t) = 1 and no
condition on the sign of the largest eigenvalue of K1. Thenµ1(K0)≤µ1(K1), whereµ1(Kα)
denotes the largest eigenvalue of Kα.
15The proof of this lemma is as follows: since K2is a positive definite continuous symmetric
kernel, Mercer’s theorem holds [8] and this kernel admits th e expansion
K2(s,t) =/summationdisplay
iaifi(s)fi(t), (36)
whereai≥0 andfi(t) respectively denote the itheigenvalue of the operator ˆTK2and the
associated normalized eigenfunction. Let φ1(t) be a principal (normalized) eigenfunction of
the operator ˆTK0andµ1(K0) the corresponding largest eigenvalue. From the condition (i)
and Eq. (36), one has
µ1(K0) = (φ1,ˆTK0φ1) =/summationdisplay
iai(fiφ1,ˆTK1fiφ1) =/summationdisplay
iaiMi(ηi,ˆTK1ηi), (37)
whereMiandηi(t) are given by
Mi= (fiφ1,fiφ1),
and
ηi(t) =M−1/2
ifi(t)φ1(t),
such that (ηi,ηi) = 1. By the definition of µ1(K1) and from K2(t,t)≤1, condition (iii), one
has respectively
µ1(K1)≥(ηi,ˆTK1ηi), (38)
and
/summationdisplay
iaiMi=/integraldisplay/bracketleftigg/summationdisplay
iaifi(t)2/bracketrightigg
φ1(t)2dt
=/integraldisplay
K2(t,t)φ1(t)2dt≤/integraldisplay
φ1(t)2dt= 1. (39)
So, from Eqs. (37), (38), (39) and the condition (iii), it fol lows thatµ1(K0)≤µ1(K1), which
proves Lemma 4.
We can now proceed to rigorously express and prove the result stated at the beginning
of this section. Let λcN(T,D) be the critical coupling associated with a D-dimensional
problem in which the correlation function of the Gaussian fie ldSis given by CD. One has
the following proposition:
16Proposition 3 : for every T >0, ifCD(x,t,t′) is a factorable correlation function such
that 0 ≤CD−d(0,t,t)≤1 for 0 ≤t≤T, thenλcN(T,D)≥λcN(T,d).
The proof of this proposition is straightforward. By the defi nition of a factorable corre-
lation function one has CD(s,t) =Cd(s,t)CD−d(s,t), where both Cd(s,t) andCD−d(s,t)
are continuous, symmetric, and positive definite. Since CD−d(t,t)≡CD−d(0,t,t) and
0≤CD−d(0,t,t)≤1 by assumption, one can apply the lemma 4 with K0=CD,K1=Cd,
andK2=CD−d. It follows immediately that µx(t)
1≤˜µx||(t)
1, where ˜µx||(t)
1denotes the largest
eigenvalue of the operator ˆTCd. Letxmax(t) be N paths maximizing µx(t)
1[7]. One has
supx(t)µx(t)
1=µxmax(t)
1 ≤˜µxmax ||(t)
1 , from which it follows that supx(t)µx(t)
1≤supx||(t)˜µx||(t)
1
and, by Lemma 3, λcN(T,D)≥λcN(T,d), which proves the proposition 3.
VII. SUMMARY AND PERSPECTIVES
In this paper, we have studied the effects of diffusion on the di vergence of the moments
of the solution to a linear amplifier driven by the square of a G aussian field. We first proved
that the divergence yielded by a diffusion-free calculation cannot occur at a smaller coupling
constant than the one obtained from the full calculation (i. e. with diffusion). Then we have
shown that, in the case where the absolute value of the (unifo rmly continuous) pump field
correlation function is bounded from above by its one-point value, there is no diffusion effect
on the onset of the divergence which is therefore given by a di ffusion-free calculation. In
this context, we have solved the diffusion-free problem expl icitly when the pump field is
a linear functional of a Gauss-Markov process. Finally, we h ave studied the dependence
of the critical coupling on the space dimensionality in the c ase of a factorable correlation
function. In particular, we have proved that the divergence obtained in a D-dimensional
problem cannot occur at a smaller coupling constant than the one obtained in the projected
d-dimensional problem ( d<D ).
As mentioned in the introduction, we would like to extend our results for the diffusion-
amplification model (5) to the more difficult diffraction-ampl ification problem (1). According
17to Eq. (5), the results obtained in this paper also apply, bes ide some minor technical modifi-
cations, if the pump field is a complex Gaussian field as in Eq. (1). The remaining difficulty
in extending our results to Eq. (1) lies in controlling the co mplex Feynman path-integral,
compared to that of the Feynman-Kac formula for the diffusive case. Expressing E(x,t) as a
Feynman path-integral and averaging over the realizations ofS, one cannot a priori exclude
the possibility that destructive interference effects betw een different path contributions make
the sum of the divergent contributions finite. Thus one canno t deduce the divergence of the
moments of E(x,L) from that of the amplification along paths arriving at the po int (x,L).
It is however not unreasonable to expect that Propositions 1 , 2, and 3 also apply to the
diffraction-amplification problem (1). Proving this conjec ture is another matter and is the
subject of a future work. Note that in the case of Proposition 2, the on-axis correlation
function of the pump field must be real and positive, which is q uite restrictive if the pump
field is complex. From a practical point of view (e.g. in optic s), it would therefore be very
interesting to find out whether there exists an enlarged vers ion of this proposition applying
to complex on-axis correlation functions as well.

I INTRODUCTION
In this lecture we will develop a concept of wakes and impedan ces for relativistic
beams interacting with the surrounding environment. Among the numerous publi-
cations and reviews on this subject, we refer here to recent b ooks [1–3], where the
reader can find a more detailed treatment and further referen ces.
We will use the CGS system of units throughout this paper.
II INTERACTION OF MOVING CHARGES IN FREE
SPACE
We begin with interactions of particles that moving with con stant velocity in
free space. If the material walls are far from the particles, their effect in the first
approximation can be neglected.
Let us consider a leading particle of charge qmoving with velocity v, and a
trailing particle of unitcharge moving behind the leading one on a parallel path at
a distance swith an offset x, as shown in Fig. 1. We want to find the force which
the leading particle exerts on the trailing one.
We will use the following expressions for the electric and ma gnetic fields of a
particle moving with a constant velocity (see, e.g., [4]):
E=qR
γ2R∗3,H=1
cv×E, (1)
where Ris the vector drawn from point 1 to point 2, R∗2=s2+x2/γ2, and
γ= (1−v2/c2)−1/2.
From Eq. (1) we find that the longitudinal force acting on the t railing charge is
Fl=Ez=−qs
γ2(s2+x2/γ2)3/2, (2)
and the transverse force is
Ft=Ex−v
cBy=qx
γ4(s2+x2/γ2)3/2. (3)1vv2E

sx
FIGURE 1. A leading particle 1 and a trailing particle 2 traveling in fr ee space with parallel
velocities v. Shown also is the coordinate system x, z.
In accelerator physics, the force Fis often called the space-charge force .
It is easy to see that for any position given by sandx, the longitudinal force
decreases with the growth of γasγ−2. For the transverse force, if s≫x/γ,
Ft∼γ−4, but for s= 0,Ft∼γ−1. Hence, in the limit of ultrarelativistic particles
moving parallel to each other, γ→ ∞, the electromagnetic interaction in free space
vanishes.
In this lecture, we will focus on the case of ultrarelativist ic charges, where v→c.
The space-charge effects discussed above disappear in this l imit, and the interaction
between the particles is due only to the presence of material walls.
Note that, taking the limit v→cin Eq. (1) and recalling that s=vt−z, we
can write the electromagnetic field of an ultrarelitivistic charge in free space as
E=2qr
r2δ(z−ct),H=ˆz×E, (4)
where r=ˆxx+ˆyyis a two-dimensional radius vector in a cylindrical coordin ate
system ( ˆxandˆyare the unit vectors in the directions of xandy, respectively).
III PARTICLES MOVING IN A PERFECTLY
CONDUCTING PIPE
If particles from the above example move parallel to the axis in a perfectly
conducting cylindrical pipe of arbitrary cross section, th ey induce image charges,
on the surface of the wall, that screen the metal from the elec tromagnetic field
of the particles. The image charges travel with the same velo cityv(see Fig. 2).
Since both the particles and the image charges move on parall el paths, in the limit
v=c, according to the results in Section II, they do not interact with each other,
no matter how close to the wall the particles are.
Interaction between the particles in the ultrarelativisti c limit can occur if 1) the
wall is not perfectly conducting, or 2) the pipe is not cylind rical (which is usually
due to the presence of RF cavities, flanges, bellows, beam pos ition monitors, slots,
etc., in the vacuum chamber).12/BnZr/BnZr/BnZr/BnZr/BnZr/BnZr/BnZr/BnZr

IV CAUSALITY AND THE “CATCH-UP” DISTANCE
If a beam particle moves along a straight line with the speed o f light, the elec-
tromagnetic field of this particle scattered off the boundary discontinuities will not
overtake it and, furthermore, will not affect the charges tha t travel ahead of it. The
field can interact only with the trailing charges in the beam t hat move behind it.
This constitutes the principle of causality in the theory of wakefields, according to
which the interaction of a point charge moving with the speed of light propagates
only downstream and never reaches the upstream part of the be am.

FIGURE 3. A wall discontinuity located at z= 0 scatters the electromagnetic field of an
ultrarelativistic particle. When the particle moves to loc ation z, the scattered field arrives to
point z−s.
We can estimate the distance at which the electromagnetic fie ld produced by a
leading charge reaches a trailing particles traveling at a d istance sbehind. Let us
assume that a discontinuity located at the surface of a pipe o f radius bat coordinate
z= 0 is passed by the leading particle at time t= 0, see Fig. 3. If the scattered
field reaches point sat time t, then ct=/radicalbig

of the leading particle at time t,z=ct. Assuming that s≪b, from these twoequations we find
z≈b2

The distance zgiven by this equation is often called the catch-up distance . Only
after the leading charge has traveled this distance away fro m the discontinuity, can
a particle at point sbehind it feel the wakefield generated by the discontinuity.
V ROUND PIPE WITH RESISTIVE WALLS
Consider a round pipe of radius b, with finite wall conductivity σ. A point charge
moves along the zaxis of the pipe with the speed of light, and a trailing partic le
follows the leading one at a distance s. Both particles are assumed to be on the axis
of the pipe. Because of the symmetry of the problem, the only n on-zero component
of the electromagnetic field on the axis is Ez, which, depending on the sign, either
accelerates or decelerates the trailing charge. Our goal no w is to find the field Ez
as a function of s.
If the conductivity of the pipe is large enough, we can use per turbation theory
to find the effect of the wall resistivity. In the first approxim ation, we consider the
pipe as a perfectly conducting one. In this case, the electro magnetic field of the
charge is the same as in free space and is given by Eqs. (4). For what follows, we
will need only the magnetic field Hθ,
Hθ=2q
rδ(z−ct). (6)
Using the mathematical identity
δ(z−ct) =1

where

In the limit where the skin depth δcorresponding to the frequency ω,δ=

2πσω, is much smaller than the pipe radius , δ≪b, we can use the Leontovich
boundary condition [5] that relates the tangential electri c field Eton the wall with
the magnetic one,

Combining Eqs.(10), (11) and (9), we find
Ezω|r=b=−(1−i)/radicalbiggω

πbc. (12)
Equation (12) gives us the longitudinal electric field on the wall, but we need the
field on the axis of the pipe. To find the radial dependence of Ezω, we use Maxwell’s
equations, from which it follows that the electric field in a v acuum satisfies the wave
equation. In the cylindrical coordinate system the wave equ ation for Ezis

Substituting the Fourier component Ezω(r)e−iω(t−z/c)into this equation, we find

∂r= 0. (14)
This equation has a general solution Ezω=A+Blnr, where AandBare arbitrary
constants. Since we do not expect Ezto have a singularity on the axis, B= 0.
Hence the electric field does not depend on r,Ezω= const, and
Ezω|r=0=Ezω|r=b, (15)
implying that Ezω|r=0is given by the same Eq. (12). Note that we have shown
here that in the ultrarelativistic case the longitudinal el ectric field inside the pipe
is constant throughout the pipe cross section.
To find Ez(z, t) we make the inverse Fourier transformation,
Ez(z, t) =/integraldisplay∞

In our derivation we assumed that the magnetic field on the wal l is the same as
in the case of perfect conductivity. However, the magnetic fi eld is generated not
only by the beam current, but also by a displacement current,

The behavior of Ezfor very small values of s,s < s 0, can be found in Ref. 6.Here
we note only that the singularity in Eq. (18) saturates at sma lls, and the electric
field changes sign and becomes negative at s= 0. This field decelerates the leading
charge, as expected from the energy balance consideration.
VI WAKE DEFINITION
The electromagnetic interaction of charged particles in ac celerators with the sur-
rounding environment is usually a relatively small effect th at can be considered
as a perturbation. In the zeroth approximation, we can assum e that the beam
moves with a constant velocity along a straight line. We solv e Maxwell’s equation,
find the fields, and then take into account the effect of these fie lds on a particle’s
motion. In this approach we neglect the second-order effects because the motion
along the perturbed orbit can only slightly change the fields computed in the zeroth
approximation. Those corrections are usually small, espec ially for ultrarelativistic
particles.Another important feature of the interaction between the ge nerated electromag-
netic field and the particles is that in many cases of practica l importance it is
localized in a region small compared with the length of the be am orbit. It also
occurs on a time scale much smaller than the characteristic o scillation times of the
beam in the accelerator (such as betatron and synchrotron pe riods). This allows
us to consider this interaction in the impulse approximatio n and characterize it by
the amount of momentum transferred to the particle.
Taking into account the above considerations, we will intro duce the notion of the
wake in the following way. Consider a leading particle 1 of charge qmoving along
1vv2

sΡ
yR
FIGURE 4. A leading particle 1 and a trailing particle 2 move parallel t o each other in a vacuum
chamber.
axiszwith a velocity close to the speed of light, v≈c, so that z=ct(see Fig.
4). A trailing particle 2 of unit charge moves parallel to the leading one, with the
same velocity, at a distance swith offset ρrelative to the z-axis. The vector ρ
is a two-dimensional vector perpendicular to the z-axis, ρ= (x, y). Although the
two particles move in a vacuum, there are material boundarie s in the problem that
scatter the electromagnetic field and result in interaction between the particles.
Let us assume that we solved Maxwell’s equation and found the electromagnetic
field generated by the first particle. We calculate the change of the momentum
∆pof the second particle caused by this field as a function of the offset ρand the
distance s,
∆p(ρ, s) =/integraldisplay∞
−∞dt[E(ρ, z, t) +ˆz×B(ρ, z, t)]z=ct−s. (23)
Note that we integrate here along a straight line — the unpert urbed orbit of the
second particle. The integration limits are extended from m inus to plus infinity,
assuming that the integral converges.
Since the beam dynamics is different in the longitudinal and t ransverse direc-
tions, it is useful to separate the longitudinal momentum ∆ pzfrom the transverse
component ∆ p⊥. With the proper sign and the normalization factor c/q, these twocomponents are called the longitudinal andtransverse wake functions (or simply
wakes ),
wl(ρ, s) =−c
q∆pz=−c
q/integraldisplay
dtEz|z=ct−s,
wt(ρ, s) =c
q∆p⊥=c
q/integraldisplay
dt[E⊥+ˆz×B]z=ct−s. (24)
Note the minus sign in the definition of wl— it is introduced so that the positive
longitudinal wake corresponds to the energy loss of the trai ling particle (if both
the leading and trailing particles have the same sign of char ge). The defined wakes
have dimension cm−1in CGS units and V/C in SI units.1
Because of the causality principle, the wakefield does not pr opagate in front of
the leading charge, hence
wl(ρ, s)≡0,wt(ρ, s)≡0,for s<0. (25)
It was assumed above that the electromagnetic field is locali zed in space and
time and the integral in Eq. (23) converges. There are cases, however, where this
is not true and the source of the wake is distributed uniforml y along an extended
path, such as the resistive wall wake of a long pipe, consider ed in Section V. In
this case it is more convenient to introduce the wake per unit length of the path
by dropping the integration in Eq. (23):
wl(ρ, s) =−1
qEz|z=ct−s,
wt(ρ, s) =1
q[E⊥+ˆz×B]z=ct−s. (26)
In this definition, the wakes acquire an additional dimensio n of inverse length, and
has the dimension cm−2in CGS and V/C/m in SI.
VII PANOFSKY-WENZEL THEOREM
Several general relations between longitudinal and transv erse wakes can be ob-
tained from Maxwell’s equation without specifying the boun dary condition for the
fields.
Let us introduce the vector R= (ρ,−s) (the negative sign in front of sis due
to measuring sin the negative direction of z, see Fig. 4) and consider momentum
∆pin Eq. (23) as a function of R. Let us assume that the electric and magnetic
fields are specified through the vector potential A(r, t) and the scalar potential
1)A useful relation between the units is 1 V /pC = 1 .11 cm−1.φ(r, t), and compute ∆ pfor the given fields. It is convenient to use the Lagrangian

In the last equation we used v≈cˆz.
We just proved an important relation that states that all thr ee components of
the vector ∆ pcan be obtained by differentiation of a single scalar functio nW.
Recalling now the relation between the components of ∆ pand the wakes, Eq.
(24), we find that
wl=−∂W

∂s,wt=∇ρW, (32)
and hence
∂wt
∂s=∇ρwl. (33)
2)This approach to the derivation of the Panofsky-Wenzel theo rem is due to A. Chao.This relation is usually referred to as the Panofsky-Wenzel theorem. Note that ∇ρ
is a two-dimensional gradient with respect to coordinates xandy.
One of the most important computational applications of the Panofsky-Wenzel
theorem is that knowledge of the longitudinal wake function wlallows us to find
the transverse wake wtby means of a simple integration of Eq. (33).
We now prove another important property of W: it is a harmonic function of
variables xandy,
∆⊥W≡∂2W
∂x2+∂2W
∂y2= 0. (34)
To prove this, we will use the fact that both Aandφsatisfy the wave equation in

In Section VI we defined the wake as a function of the trailing p article offset
relative to the path of the leading particle. In practical ap plications we are also
interested in how the wake depends on the trajectory of the le ading particle. We
will assume that the system under consideration has a symmet ry axis, and choose
it as the z-axis of the coordinate system (see Fig. 5). Now the leading p article 1

moves in the zdirection with an offset given by vector ρ′, and the trailing particle
travels parallel to the leading one, with the same velocity, at a distance sbehind
the leading one, and with offset ρrelative to the axis. The vectors ρ′andρare
the two-dimensional vectors perpendicular to the z-axis. The wake is still defined
by Eq. (24), but now it will be considered as a function of ρ′,ρ, and s
wl=wl(ρ,ρ′, s),
wt=wt(ρ,ρ′, s). (39)
Usually the vacuum chamber is designed so that the system axi s serves as an
ideal orbit for the beam. Deviations from it are relatively s mall, and both vectors
ρandρ′are typically much smaller than the size of the vacuum chambe r. We can
neglect them in wland introduce the longitudinal wake function that depends o nly
ons,
wl(s) =wl(0,0, s). (40)
If the vacuum chamber also has some symmetry elements (e.g., it has either
circular, elliptical or rectangular cross section), the tr ansverse wake on the axis,
where ρ,ρ′= 0, vanishes, wt(0,0, s) = 0. For small values of ρ,ρ′we can expand
wt(ρ,ρ′, s) keeping only the lowest-order linear terms. That gives a te nsor relation
between the transverse wake and the offsets,
wt(ρ,ρ′, s) =↔
W1(s)ρ+↔
W2(s)ρ′, (41)where↔
W1and↔
W2are the two-dimensional tensors of rank 2. An example of
the wake calculation for elliptical and rectangular cross s ections of the pipe can be
found in Ref. 7.
IX AXISYMMETRIC SYSTEMS
In an axisymmetric system Wdepends only on the absolute values of ρ,ρ′, and
the angle θbetween them. We can always chose a coordinate system such th at the
vector ρ′lies in the x-zplane (see Fig. 6), so that the potential function Wwill be
a periodic even function of angle θin a cylindrical coordinate system. Decomposing

In Eq. (44) we discarded a singular solution of Eq. (43) Wm∝ρ−m.
It is also possible to find the dependence of Wmversus ρ′(see [8]), which turns
out to be
Am(ρ′, s) =Fm(s)(ρ′)m. (45)
Using Eq. (32) we now find for the longitudinal and transverse wake functions

where ˆrandˆθare the unit vectors in the radial and azimuthal directions i n the
cylindrical coordinate system. Remember that in this equat ion we assume that the
leading particle is in the plane θ= 0.
Equations (47) are valid for arbitrary values of ρandρ′. Near the axis, where the
offsets are small, the higher-order terms with large values o fmin these equations
also become small. In this case, we can keep only the lower-or der terms with m= 0
(monopole ) and m= 1 (dipole ) wakes. For the monopole wake we find
wl≡w(0)
l=F′
0(s), (48)
which shows that the longitudinal wake does not depend on the radius in an axisym-
metric system. We also see that the monopole transverse wake vanishes, w(0)
t= 0.
Since w(0)
ldoes not depend on ρ′, sometimes it is more convenient to compute
the monopole wake for an offset orbit, ρ′∝negationslash= 0, rather than on the axis.

The wake given by Eq. (49) is usually normalized by the absolu te value of the

wt(s) =F(s). (50)
Such a transverse wake has the dimension cm−2or V/C/m.3In this definition, a
positive transverse wake means a kick in the direction of the offset of the driving
particle (if both particles have the same charge).

We are now in a position to find the wakes generated by a particl e in a circular
pipe with resistive walls. Using Eq. (18) and the definition E q. (24) gives the
longitudinal wake
wl(s) =−1
2πb/radicalbiggc
σs3. (51)
The minus sign here means that the trailing charge is acceler ated in the wakefield.
Let us now calculate the dipole transverse wake due to the res istive wall. First,
we need to solve for the electromagnetic field of the leading c harge qmoving with
an offset ρ′in a circular pipe. From the point of view of excitation of dip ole modes,
this charge can be considered as having a dipole moment d=qρ′. In the zeroth
approximation of perturbation theory, the electromagneti c field of a dipole moving
with the speed of light in a perfectly conducting pipe is

The first term in the expression for Eis a vacuum field of a relativistic dipole, and
the second one is due to the image charges, which are generate d in order to satisfy
the boundary condition on the metal surface.
Following the derivation in Section V, we find the magnetic fie ld on the wall,
Hθ=4d

and take its Fourier transform,
Hθω=2d
πcb2cosθ , (54)
where the angle θis measured from the direction of d. Then using the Leontovich

Analogous to the longitudinal wake, Eq. (18), this formula i s valid only for s≫s0

XI WAKEFIELD IN A BUNCH OF PARTICLES
Up to now we have studied the interaction of two point charges traveling some
distance sapart. If a beam consists of Nparticles with the distribution function
λ(s) (defined so that λ(s)dsgives the probability of finding a particle near point
s), a given particle will interact with all other particles of the beam. To find the
change of the longitudinal momentum of the particle at point swe need to sum the
wakes from all other particles in the bunch,
∆pz(s) =Ne2
c/integraldisplay∞
sds′λ(s′)wl(s′−s). (60)
Here we use the causality principle and integrate only over t he part of the bunch
ahead of point s. In the ultrarelativistic limit the energy change ∆ E(s) caused by
the wakefield is equal to c∆pz, so Eq. (60) can also be rewritten as
∆E(s) =Ne2/integraldisplay∞
sds′λ(s′)wl(s′−s). (61)
Two integral characteristics of the strength of the wake are the average value of
the energy loss ∆ Eav, and the rms spread in energy generated by the wake ∆ Erms.
These two quantities are defined by the following equations:
∆Eav=/integraldisplay∞
−∞ds∆E(s)λ(s), (62)
and
∆Erms=/bracketleftbigg/integraldisplay∞
−∞ds(∆E(s)−∆Eav)2λ(s)/bracketrightbigg1/2
. (63)As an example, let us calculate ∆ Eavand ∆ Ermsfor the resistive wall wake given

where σsis the rms bunch length. Note that, since win Eq. (51) is the wake per
unit length of the pipe, we need to multiply the final answer by the pipe length L.
A direction substitution of the wake Eq. (51) into Eq. (61) gi ves a divergent
integral when s′→s.4To remove the divergence, we need to recall that according
to Eq. (48) the longitudinal wake is equal to the derivative o f the longitudinal wake

c/σsfors >0, and F0= 0 for s <0. We

The plot of the function G(s/σz) is shown in Fig. 8, where the positive values
ofscorrespond to the head of the bunch. We see that in the resisti ve wake the
particles lose energy in the head of the bunch and get acceler ated in the tail. On
the average, of course, the losses overcome the gain. For the average energy loss
one can find an analytical result:
∆Eav=Γ(3

Numerical integration of Eq. (63) shows that the energy spre ad generated by the
resistive wake is approximately equal to ∆ Eav:
∆Erms= 1.06 ∆Eav. (68)
If the beam is traveling in the pipe with an offset yrelative to the axis, it will be
deflected in the direction of the offset, by the transverse wak efields. To calculate

XII DEFINITION OF IMPEDANCE AND RELATION
BETWEEN IMPEDANCE AND WAKE
Knowledge of the longitudinal and transverse wake function s gives complete in-
formation about the electromagnetic interaction of the bea m with its environment.
However, in many cases, especially in the study of beam insta bilities, it is more con-
venient to use the Fourier transform of the wake functions, o rimpedances . Also, it
is often easier to calculate the impedance for a given geomet ry of the beam pipe,
rather than the wake function. Recall, that in Section V we ac tually first com-
puted the Fourier components of the wakes, and then, using th e inverse Fourier
transformation, found the wakes.
For historical reasons the longitudinal Zland transverse Ztimpedances are de-
fined as Fourier transforms of wakes with different factors,
Zl(ω) =1
c/integraldisplay∞
0dsw l(s)eiωs/c,
Zt(ω) =−i
c/integraldisplay∞
0dsw t(s)eiωs/c. (74)
Note that the integration in Eqs. (74) can actually be extend ed into the region of
negative values of s, because wlandwtare equal to zero in that region.
Impedance can also be defined for complex values of ωsuch that Im ω >0 and
the integrals, Eq. (74), converge. So defined, the impedance is an analytic function
in the upper half-plane of the complex variable ω.
We must keep in mind that other authors sometimes introduce d efinitions of the
impedance that differ from the one given above. In Refs. 2 and 9 the longitudinalimpedance is defined as a complex conjugate to the one given by Eq. (74). Here
we follow the definitions of Refs. 1 and 10.
From the definitions in Eq. (74) it follows that the impedance satisfies the
following symmetry conditions:
ReZl(ω) = Re Zl(−ω), ImZl(ω) =−ImZl(−ω),
ReZt(ω) =−ReZt(−ω),ImZt(ω) = Im Zt(−ω). (75)
The inverse Fourier transform relates the wakes to the imped ances:

−∞dωZ l(ω)e−iωs/c,
wt(s) =i
2π/integraldisplay∞
∞dωZ t(ω)e−iωs/c. (76)
It turns out that the wakefield can actually be found if only th e real part of the
impedance is known. Indeed, we can rewrite Eq. (76) for wlas

XIV KRAMERS-KRONIG RELATIONS
Equations (79) and (80) relate Re Z(ω) to the wake function. Since Z(ω) is given
by Fourier transformation of w(s), the knowledge of Re Z(ω) allows us to find Z(ω),
and hence Im Z(ω). This means that Im Z(ω) and Re Z(ω) are functionally related
to each other. Mathematically this relation is manifested i n the Kramers-Kronig
dispersion relation, which can be written as

XV USEFUL FORMULA FOR IMPEDANCE
CALCULATION
Assume that we have a solution of an electromagnetic problem corresponding
to the current on the axis of a pipe with the time and space depe ndence given by
e−iωt+iωz/c. Specifically, we know the electric field on the axis, Ezω(z)e−iωt. How
can longitudinal impedance be found in terms of Ezω(z)?
The longitudinal wake is equal to the integrated field Ezgenerated by a point
charge moving with the speed of light. The current correspon ding to this point
charge can be decomposed into a Fourier integral:
cqδ(z−ct) =/integraldisplay∞
−∞dωq
2πe−iω(t−z/c). (86)Since we know the electric field generated by each harmonic, w e can find the field
due to the point charge as a superposition of Ezω:
Ez(z, t) =q
2π/integraldisplay∞
−∞dωE zω(z)e−iωt. (87)
Forwlwe then have
wl(s) =−1
2π/integraldisplay∞
−∞dωd(ct)Ezω(ct−s)e−iωt
=−1
2π/integraldisplay∞
−∞dωdzE zω(z)e−iω(z+s)/c. (88)
Comparing Eq. (88) with Eq. (74) we find
Zl(ω) =−/integraldisplay∞
−∞dzE ω(z)e−iωz/c. (89)
Hence the longitudinal impedance can be obtained simply by m aking Fourier trans-
formation of Ezω(z).
XVI SMALL PILLBOX CAVITY IN ROUND PIPE
As an example of using Eq. (89) we will derive here the longitu dinal impedance
Zl(ω) for a small axisymmetric cavity (pillbox) in a round perfec tly conducting
pipe, see Fig. 10. We assume that the wavelength associated w ith the frequency ω
is much larger than the dimension of the pillbox, c/ω≫g, h.
hg

FIGURE 10. Small pillbox cavity in a round pipe. The dashed line near the wall shows the
integration path in Eq. (92).
First, we need to find the solution of Maxwell’s equations cor responding to a unit
current Iω=e−iωt+iωz/con the axis. Since the cavity is small, the magnitude of themagnetic field at the location of the cavity ( z= 0) is approximately equal to Hθ
on the wall of the pipe
Hθ=2
bc. (90)
Because Ezωdoes not depend on r(see Section V) we can choose the integration
path in Eq. (89) close to the wall, as shown in Fig. 10, rather t han the pipe axis.
Along this path Ezωis not equal to zero only in the cavity gap, where |z| ∼h, and
e−iωz≈1. We have
Zl(ω) =−/integraldisplay∞

−∞dzE zω(z) =1

where Φ is the magnetic flux in the cross section of the cavity, Φ =Hθhg. As a
result,
Zl(ω) =−iω2gh
bc2=−iωZ0gh
2πbc, (92)
where Z0= 4π/c= 377 Ohm. What we obtained is a purely inductive longitudinal
impedance, which can be rewritten as
Zl(ω) =−iω
c2L, (93)
where the inductance L= 2gh/b. In CGS units the inductance has a dimension of
cm, 1 cm = 1 nH.
A more detailed calculation [11] shows that our method gives only an approximate
solution of the problem. In addition to the solenoidal elect ric field generated by
the time-varying magnetic flux in the cavity, there is also a c ontribution due to
the potential component of the electric field. This results i n a different numerical
coefficient in Eq. (92) which depends on the ratio g/h. For example, for g=hthe
correction factor is 0.84.
XVII INDUCTIVE IMPEDANCE
We saw in the previous section that a small pillbox is charact erized by inductive
impedance if the frequency is not very large. This is a common feature of many
small perturbations whose size is much smaller than the pipe radius (e.g., small
holes, shallow obstacles on the wall, etc.) — for not very lar ge frequencies their
impedance is purely inductive.The longitudinal wake corresponding to the inductive imped ance can be found
by using Eq. (76):5
wl(s) =Lδ′(s). (94)
Because of the inductive wake, slices of the beam can change t heir energy, al-
though the net energy loss for the bunch is zero because the re al part of the
impedance vanishes. We can find the energy change as a functio n of position
within the bunch by using Eq. (61). Integration gives
∆E(s) =−e2NLλ′(s). (95)
For a Gaussian distribution function this reduces to
∆E(s) =e2NL

XVIII CAVITY IMPEDANCE
In the more general case of a large cavity (Fig. 11) the beam ex cites cavity
eigenmodes and the longitudinal wake in the cavity is compos ed of contributions

from single modes,
wl(s) =/summationdisplay
nw(n)(s). (98)
5)Since the integral involved in the calculation of wl(s) actually diverges at ω→ ∞, it should
be treated as a generalized function. It is easier to verify E q. (94) by putting it into Eq. (74)
and checking that the resulting impedance is given by Eq. (93 ).For perfectly conducting walls, assuming that the modes do n ot propagate into the
beam pipes,6the mode frequencies ωnare real. It should be no surprise that each
partial wakefield oscillates with the frequency of the mode ωn,
w(n)(s) = 2kncos/parenleftBigωns
c/parenrightBig
, (99)
where knis the loss factor , which depends on the geometry of the cavity and the
mode number. As an example, for a cylindrical cavity with b=land TM 010mode,
k010= 4.5/l. For a more rigorous derivation of the wake for a cavity, see R ef. 12.
The cavity impedance for this wake can be calculated by using Eqs. (74). They
give
ReZl=πkn[δ(ω+ωn) +δ(ω−ωn)],
ImZl=kn/bracketleftbigg1

ω−ωn/bracketrightbigg
. (100)
It is also easy to generalize the above wake for a cavity with l ossy walls when
the frequency of the mode has a small imaginary part γn,γn≪ωn. The wake now
decays with time as
wl(s) = 2kne−γs/ccos/parenleftBigωns
c/parenrightBig
. (101)
Again using Eq. (74), we can calculate the impedance. It has t wo peaks: one in
the vicinity of ω=ωnand the other in the vicinity of ω=−ωn. Assuming that ω
is close to ωn, we find
Zl=kn
γ−i(ω−ωn). (102)

Abstract
A theoretical model of nuclear spin conversion in molecules controlled by an
external electromagnetic radiation resonant to rotationa l transition has been
developed. It has been shown that one can produce an enrichme nt of spin
isomers and influence their conversion rates in two ways, thr ough coherences
and through level population change induced by radiation. I nfluence of con-
version is ranged from significant speed up to almost complet e inhibition of
the process by proper choice of frequency and intensity of th e external field.

1I. INTRODUCTION
It is well known that many symmetrical molecules exist in Nat ure only in the form
of nuclear spin isomers [1]. Spin isomers are important for f undamental science and have
various applications. They can serve as spin labels, influen ce chemical reactions [2,3], or
tremendously enhance NMR signals [4,5]. Progress in the spi n isomers study depends heavily
on available methods for isomer enrichment. Although this fi eld has been significantly
advanced recently (see the review in [6]), one needs more effic ient enrichment methods.
Recently two enrichment methods based on optically induced change of molecular level
populations have been proposed [7,8]. The purpose of the pre sent paper is to investigate the
isomer enrichment caused by optically induced coherences i n the molecule.
II. QUANTUM RELAXATION
Nuclear spin isomers of molecules were discovered in the lat e 1920s. The most known
example is the isomers of H 2. These isomers have different total spin of the two hydrogen
nuclei, I= 1 for ortho molecules and I= 0 for para molecules. Symmetrical polyatomic
molecules have nuclear spin isomers too. For example, CH 3F can be in ortho, or in para state
depending on the total spin of three hydrogen nuclei equal 3/ 2, or 1/2, respectively (see,
e.g., [1]). Different spin isomers are often distinguished a lso by their rotational quantum
numbers. Consequently, all rotational states of the molecu le are separated into nondegen-
erate subspaces of different spin states. Schematically, th ese subspaces for the case of two
spin states, ortho and para, are presented in Fig. 1. (For a mo ment, an optical excitation
shown in the ortho space has to be omitted.)
Nuclear spin conversion can be produced by collisions with m agnetic particles. This is
a well-known mechanism for the conversion of hydrogen imbed ded in paramagnetic oxygen
[9]. If a molecule is surrounded by nonmagnetic particles, c ollisions alone cannot change the
molecular spin state. In this case the spin conversion is gov erned by quantum relaxation
which can be qualitatively described as follows. Let us spli t the molecular Hamiltonian into
two parts,
ˆH=ˆH0+ ¯hˆV , (1)
2where ˆH0is the main term which has the ortho and para states as the eige n states (states
in Fig. 1); ˆVis a small intramolecular perturbation able to mix the ortho and para states.
Suppose that the test molecule was placed initially in the or tho subspace. Due to colli-
sions the molecule starts undergo fast rotational relaxati oninside the ortho subspace. This
running up and down along the ortho ladder proceeds until the molecule reaches the ortho
statemwhich is mixed with the para state kby the intramolecular perturbation ˆV. Then,
during the free flight just after this collision, the perturb ation ˆVmixes the para state kwith
the ortho state m. Consequently, the next collision can move the molecule to o ther para
states and thus localize it inside the para subspace. Such me chanism of spin conversion was
proposed in the theoretical paper [10] (see also [11]).
Relevance of the described mechanism to actual spin convers ion in molecules is not at
all obvious. The problem is that the intramolecular perturb ations, ˆV, able to mix ortho and
para states are very weak. They have the order of 10 −100 kHz (hyperfine interactions)
which should be compared with other much stronger interacti ons in molecules, or with gas
collisions. Nevertheless, the experimental and theoretic al proves have been obtained that
spin conversion in molecules is indeed governed by quantum r elaxation [6,12–14]. Although,
only three molecules (CH 3F, H 2CO and C 2H4) have been studied in this context so far, it
is very probable that spin conversion in other polyatomic mo lecules of similar complexity is
governed by quantum relaxation too. It is useful for the foll owing to give a few examples of
spin conversion rates. Most studied is the spin conversion i n13CH3F which has the rate,
γ13/P= (12.2±0.6)·10−3s−1/Torr, (2)
in case of pure CH 3F gas [6]. Spin conversion in another isotope modification,12CH3F, is by
almost two orders of magnitude slower [6]. Similar slow conv ersion was observed in ethylene,
13CCH 4, [13],
γeth/P= (5.2±0.8)·10−4s−1/Torr. (3)
These data show that spin conversion by quantum relaxation i s on 9−11 orders of magnitude
slower than the rotational relaxation, ν∼106−107s−1/Torr.
3III. OPTICAL EXCITATION
In this section we will analyze the spin conversion by quantu m relaxation in the presence
of a resonant electromagnetic radiation. The level scheme i s shown in Fig. 1. In order
to reveal the main features of the phenomenon we will conside r the process in a simplest
arrangement. First of all, we assume that molecular states a re nondegenerate and that
only one ortho-para level pair, m−k, is mixed by the intramolecular perturbation, ˆV.
Monochromatic radiation is chosen to be in resonance with th e rotational transition m−n.
In this arrangement the molecular Hamiltonian reads,
ˆH=ˆH0+ ¯hˆG+ ¯hˆV . (4)
New term, ˆG, describes the molecular interaction with the radiation,
ˆG=−(E0ˆd/¯h) cosωLt, (5)
where E0andωLare the amplitude and frequency of the electromagnetic wave ;ˆdis the
operator of the molecular electric dipole moment. We have ne glected molecular motion in
the operator ˆGbecause homogeneous linewidth of pure rotational transiti on is usually larger
than the Doppler width.
Kinetic equation for the density matrix, ˆ ρ, in the representation of the eigen states of
the operator ˆH0has standard form,
dˆρ/dt=ˆS−i[ˆG+ˆV ,ˆρ], (6)
where ˆSis the collision integral.
Molecules in states ( m, n, k ) interacting with the perturbations ˆGandˆVconstitute only
small fraction of the total concentration of the test molecu les. Thus, one can neglect collisions
between molecules in these states in comparison with collis ion with molecules in other states.
The latter molecules remain almost at equilibrium. Consequ ently, the collision integral, ˆS,
depends linearly on the density matrix for the disturbed sta tesm,n, and keven in one
component gas. Further, we will assume model of strong colli sions for the collision integral.
The off-diagonal elements of ˆSare
Sjj′=−Γρjj′;j, j′∈m, n, k ;j/negationslash=j′. (7)
4Here, jandj′indicate rotational states of the molecule. The decoherenc e rates, Γ, were
taken equal for all off-diagonal elements of ˆS.
Collisions cannot alter molecular spin state in our model. I t implies that the diagonal
elements of ˆShave to be determined separately for ortho molecules,
Sjj=−νρo(j) +νwo(j)ρo;ρo=/summationdisplay
jρo(j);j∈ortho, (8)
and for para molecules,
Sjj=−νρp(j) +νwp(j)ρp;ρp=/summationdisplay
jρp(j);j∈para. (9)
Hereρo,ρpandwo(j),wp(j) are the total concentrations and Boltzmann distributions of
ortho and para molecules. The rotational relaxation rate, ν, was taken equal for ortho and
para molecules, because kinetic properties of different spi n species are almost identical.
One can obtain from Eq. (6) an equation of change of the total c oncentration in each
spin space [11]. For example, for ortho molecules one has,
dρo/dt= 2Re(iρmkVkm). (10)
In fact, this result is valid for any model of collision integ ral as long as collisions do not
change the total concentration of molecules in each subspac e, i.e.,/summationtext
jSjj= 0 if j∈ortho,
orj∈para.
Let us approximate the density matrix by the sum of zero and fir st order terms over
perturbation ˆV,
ˆρ= ˆρ(0)+ ˆρ(1). (11)
In zero order perturbation theory the ortho and para subspac es are independent, i.e., ρ(0)
mk=
0. Consequently, equation of change (10) is reduced to,
dρo/dt= 2Re(iρ(1)
mkVkm). (12)
Note that the spin conversion appears in the second order of ˆV.
Kinetic equations for zero and first order terms of the densit y matrix are given as,
dˆρ(0)/dt=ˆS(0)−i[ˆG,ˆρ(0)]. (13)
dˆρ(1)/dt=ˆS(1)−i[ˆG,ˆρ(1)]−i[ˆV ,ˆρ(0)]. (14)
5We start with zero order perturbation theory. In this approx imation, the para subspace
remain at equilibrium,
ρ(0)
p(j) =ρ(0)
pwp(j);j∈para. (15)
Hereρ(0)

Density matrix for ortho molecules can be determined from th e two equations which

Gmn=−Ge−iΩt;G≡E0dmn/2¯h; Ω = ωL−ωmn, (17)
where the line over symbol indicate a time-independent fact or. Rabi frequency, G, is assumed
to be real. Rotational relaxation, ν, and decoherence, Γ, are on many orders of magnitude
faster than the spin conversion. It allows to assume station ary regime for ortho molecules,
thus having, dρ(0)
o(j)/dt= 0. The substitution, ρ(0)
o(m|n) =ρ(0)
o(m|n) exp (−iΩt), transforms
Eqs. (16) to algebraic equations which can easily be solved. Thus one has,

We turn now to the calculation of the first order term, ρ(1)
mk, which has to be substituted
into the equation of change (12). The density matrix element ,ρ(1)
mk, can be found from the
two equations which are derived from Eqs. (7),(14),

Substitution,

nk=ρ(1)
nkei(ω−ωkn)t, (20)
6transforms Eq. (19) to algebraic equations from which one fin dsρ(1)

the following equation for the total concentration of ortho molecules,

F(Ω)≡(Γ +iω)[Γ +i(Ω +ω)] +G2. (21)
After an appropriate change of notations, the right hand sid e of Eq. (21), coincides
formally with the solution [15] for the work of weak optical fi eld in the presence of strong
optical field. Strong field splits the upper state mon two, which appears as two roots of the
denominator of Eq. (21) being the second order polynomial on ω. It results in two ortho-para
level pairs mixed by the perturbation ˆVinstead of one pair in the absence of an external
field. In analogy with the optical case, one can distinguish t he isomer conversion caused by
population effects (terms proportional to the level populat ionsρ(0)
p(k) and ρ(0)
o(m)) and by
coherences (term proportional to the off-diagonal density m atrix element, ρ(0)
o(n|m)).
Eq. (21) describes time dependence of the concentration of o rtho molecules, ρo, in the
second order of ˆV. One can neglect at this approximation small difference betw eenρoand
ρ(0)
o. The density of para molecules can be expressed through the d ensity of ortho molecules
as,ρ(0)
p=n−ρ(0)
o, where nis the total concentration of the test molecules. Using thes e points
and zero order solution given by Eqs. (15),(18), one can obta in final equation of change for
ortho molecules,
dρo/dt=nγop−ρoγ;γ≡γop+γpo+γn+γcoh, (22)
where partial conversion rates were introduced,
γop= 2|V|2wp(k)f(Ω); f(Ω)≡ReΓ +i(Ω +ω)
F(Ω);
γpo= 2|V|2wo(m)f(Ω);

Here the rates γop,γpo, and γnare due to molecular level populations and the rate γcohis
due to coherences. The terms γopandγpoare the only ones which remain in the absence of
an external field. In the radiation free case ( G= 0) the result (23) becomes identical with
the solution given in [11].
7IV. ENRICHMENT
Solution to Eq. (22) can be presented as, ρo=ρo+δρoexp(−γt), where time-independent
part is given by
ρo=nγop
γ. (24)
Without an external radiation (at the instant t= 0), the equilibrium concentration of para
molecules is equal to,
ρp(0) = n−ρo(0) = nwo(m)
wp(k) +wo(m)=n
2. (25)
For simplicity, the Boltzmann factors in Eq. (25) were assum ed to be equal, wp(k) =
wo(m)≡w, which implies, γop=γpo. External field produces a stationary enrichment
of para molecules. One can derive from Eqs. (24),(25),
β≡ρp
ρp(0)−1 = 1−2γop
γ. (26)
An enrichment coefficient, β, is defined here in such a way that β= 0 if there is no external
electromagnetic field. Enrichment of ortho molecules is equ al to−β. Note, that the en-
richment, β, does not depend on the magnitude of intramolecular perturb ation ˆV. It is the
consequence of the assumption that only one ortho-para leve l pair is mixed. Enrichment, β,
depends on the ratio of Boltzmann factors, wo(n)/wo(m), but does not depend on the mag-
nitude of wo(n) itself. In further numerical examples relative difference of the Boltzmann
factors will be chosen as wo(n) = 1.2w.
One needs to specify a few other parameters in order to invest igate properties of the
optically induced enrichment. We will use, where it is possi ble, parameters relevant to the
spin conversion in13CH3F. Thus the decoherence rate, Γ, will be chosen equal 6 MHz, wh ich
corresponds to the gas pressure of pure CH 3F equal 0.2 Torr [6]. Rotational relaxation, ν,
will be chosen by one order of magnitude slower than the decoh erence rate, ν= 0.1Γ.
Expressions for the enrichment, β, are given in the Appendix. If ortho-para mixing is
performed for a degenerate pair of states m−k(ω= 0), the enrichment of para states, β,
has one peak at Ω = 0. This peak is determined mainly by populat ion effects.
More interesting is the case of nondegenerate states ( ω/negationslash= 0). In this case one has two
peaks, at Ω = −ωand at Ω = 0 (Fig. 2). Peak 1 (Ω = −ω) is due to the coherent effects
8determined by γcoh. Peak 2 (Ω = 0) is mainly due to the optically induced level pop ulation
changes determined by γn. In the case of well-separated peaks (Γ B≪ω), the amplitudes of
the peak 1 and peak 2 read,
A1=∆w

. (27)
Amplitude of the peak 2 grows rapidly with Gup to β≃4.5%. Amplitude of the peak 1
grows with Gto even bigger value β≃5.5%. These data are shown in Fig. 3 (upper panel)
where points are obtained by fitting an exact expression (26) by two Lorentzians and solid
curves are given by Eqs. (27). ωwas chosen equal 130 MHz which corresponds to the
ortho-para level gap in13CH3F [6]. Note, that there is no optically induced enrichment if
∆w= 0.
Widths of the enrichment peaks are given by the expressions,
W1= 2√
Γ2+G2;W2= 2Γ B. (28)
The two enrichment peaks experience completely different po wer broadening which are
shown in Fig. 3 (low panel). Peak 1 has the width much smaller t han the Peak 2. Solid
curves in Fig. 3 (low panel) are given by Eqs. (28). Points are obtained by fitting the exact
expression for enrichment, β, by two Lorentzians.
V. CONVERSION
Conversion rate in the presence of an external electromagne tic field has complicated
dependence on radiation frequency detuning, Ω, and Rabi fre quency, G. It is convenient to
characterize the conversion rate in relative units,
γrel=γ
γfree−1, (29)
where γfreeis the field free conversion rate. Similar to the enrichment, β, this parameter does
not depend on magnitude of the perturbation ˆVand on absolute values of the Boltzmann
factors.
Expressions for the conversion rate, γrel, are given in the Appendix. In the case of
degenerate ortho-para level pair m−k(ω= 0),γrelhas narrow negative structure at Ω = 0
9(Fig. 4). Amplitude of this dip grows rapidly with increasin gG. IfG≫Γ≫ν, and all
Boltzmann factors have the same order of magnitude, the conv ersion rate at Ω = 0 is given
by
γrel∼Γ2
G2−1. (30)
IfGis large, the relative conversion rate, γrel≃ −1, which corresponds to γ≃0. Thus the
spin conversion can be inhibited by radiation having large Gand Ω = 0.
In the nondegenerate case ( ω/negationslash= 0) conversion rate, γrel, has two peaks (Fig. 5). If these
peaks are well resolved, Γ B≪ω′, conversion rate is given by,
γrel=Γ′Γ−1G2
Γ′2+ (Ω + ω′)2+∆w
wG2
Γ2
B+ Ω2/parenleftbiggΓ
ν−1
2/parenrightbigg
, (31)
where new parameters are determined as,
Γ′≡Γ/parenleftBigg
1 +G2
Γ2+ω2/parenrightBigg
;ω′≡ω/parenleftBigg
1−G2
Γ2+ω2/parenrightBigg
. (32)
The two peaks in the conversion have Lorentzian profiles and a mplitudes determined by
the expressions,
A3=G2
Γ′Γ;A4=∆w
wG2
Γ2
B/parenleftbiggΓ
ν−1
2/parenrightbigg
. (33)
These amplitudes are shown in Fig. 6 (upper panel) by solid cu rves. Points are obtained by
fitting the exact solution by two Lorentzians. In this exampl es,ωwas chosen equal 130 MHz.
Peak 4 at Ω = 0 is proportional to the ratio of Boltzmann factor s. This peak does not grow
significantly with G. The peak 3 at Ω = −ω′almost does not depend on Boltzmann factors
and at large Ggrows up to γrel= (ω/Γ)2. Thus strong electromagnetic field can speed up
the conversion significantly, viz., by two orders of magnitu de in our numerical example.
Widths of the two peaks in the conversion rate are determined by the equations,
W3= 2Γ′;W4= 2Γ B, (34)
and have very different field dependences. In fact, the peak 4 a t Ω = 0 is broadened even
faster than 2Γ B. Peak 3 at Ω = −ωhas almost no power broadening, if G≪ω(Fig. 6, low
panel). Solid curves in Fig. 6, low panel, corresponds to the Eqs. (34). Points are obtained
by fitting the exact solution by two Lorentzians.
10VI. CONCLUSIONS
We have shown that an external resonant radiation can influen ce spin isomer conversion
in two ways, through level populations and through opticall y induced coherences. The coher-
ences introduce in the process new and interesting features . In many cases, the coherences
play more important role than the level populations. This an alysis have been performed in
a simplest arrangement in order to reveal the main features o f the phenomenon.
Optically induced coherences introduce extra resonances b oth in enrichment and in con-
version frequency dependences. These new resonances are im portant for future experimental
realizations of the optical control of isomer conversion. F irst, they give convenient oppor-
tunity to find coincidences between molecular transitions a nd available sources of powerful
radiation. Second, an observation of the phenomenon will be easier also because electro-
magnetic radiation can significantly speed up the conversio n. Thus steady state enrichment
can be achieved much faster than without field. It allows to wo rk at low gas pressures where
described above effects can be achieved at smaller radiation intensity.
Another advantage is that one can use resonance at which ther e is no large radiation
absorption and, consequently, no significant level populat ion change by radiation. It should
decrease some spurious effects, like molecular resonance ex change. The latter effect can
cause serious problems in realization of the optically indu ced enrichment by population
effects [7,8].
VII. APPENDIX
Here we give expressions for the enrichment, β, and conversion rate, γrel. Enrichment of
para molecules is given by Eq. (26). For equal Boltzmann fact ors,wo(m) =wp(k)≡w, one
has
β= 1−/parenleftBigg
1 +γn+γcoh
2γop/parenrightBigg−1
, (35)
and an approximate expression in case of small enrichment,
β≃γn+γcoh
2γop. (36)
Using Eqs. (23), this expression can be reduced to,
11β≃∆w
w/bracketleftBigg1/4
Γ2+G2+ (Ω + ω)2+Γ/ν−3/4
Γ2
B+ Ω2+D
(Γ2
B+ Ω2)[Γ2+G2+ (Ω + ω)2]/bracketrightBigg
;
D≡Γ2+ 5G2/4−ΓG2/ν+ω2/4. (37)
There are two peaks in enrichment, at Ω = −ωand at Ω = 0. These peaks have Lorentzian
shape if ω≫ΓB. In the degenerate case ( ω= 0) there is one peak of complicated form at
Ω = 0.
The spin conversion rate, γrel, is defined as,
γrel=γ
γfree−1. (38)
Using Eqs. (23) one can obtain after straightforward calcul ations the following expression,
γrel=g(1 +g)(ω2−Γ2) + 2ω(Ω +ω′)
Γ′2+ (Ω + ω′)2+
∆w

Γ′2+ (Ω + ω′)2;
g≡G2

Thus the conversion rate has two peaks situated at Ω = −ω′and at Ω = 0. Position of the
peak at Ω = ω′depends on the field intensity.
In the case of degenerate ortho-para level pair ( ω= 0), frequency dependence of γrel
has complicated shape with a dip in the center at Ω = 0 (Fig. (4) ). The whole structure is
described by the expression,

Abstract
It is considered neutrino flux in the rotating reference fram e. Due to the rotation of
the frame, neutrino is observed as a superposition of two sta tes P-transformed one from
another. Since P-transformation is forbidden for neutrino , in the rotating reference
frame one can detect a half of neutrino flux. Due to the rotatio n of the earth, the
detector of neutrinos can measure a half of the solar neutrin o flux predicted by the
SSM that may provide a solution for the solar neutrino puzzle .
Weak interactions violate P-invariance and C-invariance b ut conserve CP-invariance [1].
The operations of C-transformation and of P-transformatio n are forbidden for neutrinos, but
the operation of CP-transformation is allowed for neutrino s.
Take the rotating reference frame. Turnover of the frame at t he angleπcorresponds to
P-transformation of the frame. Under rotation, the positio ns of the frame in the range from
πto 2πare P-transformed from the positions of the frame in the rang e from 0 to π. Neutrino
in the rotating frame is observed in the superpositional sta te
|ψ>=1√
2(|ν >+P|ν >). (1)
However P-transformation is forbidden for neutrino theref orer it is forbidden to detect neu-
trino in the state P |ν >. Hence when measuring neutrino flux in the rotating frame it i s
forbidden to detect a half of neutrino flux.
As known [2], [3] experiments measured solar neutrino fluxes significantly smaller than
those predicted by the standard solar model (SSM), e.g. [4], [5]. Discrepancy between the
theoretical and experimental neutrino flux from the sun pres ents the solar neutrino puzzle.
The Homestake experiment measured [6] an average37Ar production rate by solar neu-
trinos in37Cl of
Rate (Chlorine) = 2 .55±0.17(stat) ±0.18(syst)SNU (2)
which is 32 ±5% of the 8 .1+1.0
−1.2SNU predicted by the SSM [5].
The Kamiokande II and III experiment reported [7] the data co nsistent with8B solar
neutrino flux of
φν⊙= [2.9±0.2(stat)±0.3(syst)]×106cm−2s−1(3)
which is 51% ±9% of that predicted by the SSM [5].
The GALLEX experiment measured [8] a71Ge production rate by solar neutrinos in71Ga
of
Rate (Gallium) = 79 ±10(stat) ±6(syst)SNU (4)
1which is 60% ±10% of the 131 .5+7
−6SNU predicted by the SSM [5].
The SAGE experiment measured [9] an average71Ge production rate by solar neutrinos
in71Ga of
Rate (Gallium) = 74+13
−12(stat)+5
−7(sys)SNU (5)
which is 56% ±11% of the 131 .5+7
−6SNU predicted by the SSM [5].
Due to the rotation of the earth, the detector of neutrinos ca n measure a half of the solar
neutrino flux predicted by the SSM. This is consistent with th e data of the Kamiokande,
GALLEX, SAGE experiments and significantly reduces the disc repancy between the theoret-
ical and experimental data for the Homestake experiment. So the effect under consideration
may provide a solution for the solar neutrino puzzle.
