- The energy-resolved momentum densities of thin polycrystalline aluminium films have been measured using electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS), for both the valence band and the outer core levels. The spectrometer used for these measurements has energy and momentum resolutions of around 1.0 eV and 0.15 atomic units, respectively. These measurements should, in principle, describe the electronic structure of the film very quantitatively, i.e. the dispersion and the intensity can be compared directly with theoretical spectral momentum densities for both the valence band and the outer core levels. Multiple scattering is found to hamper the interpretation somewhat. The core-level intensity distribution was studied with the main purpose of setting upper bounds on these multiple-scattering effects. Using this information we wish to obtain a full understanding of the valence band spectra using different theoretical models of the spectral function. These theoretical models differ significantly and only the cumulant expansion calculation that takes the crystal lattice into account seems to describe the data reasonably well.

Geometrically induced non-linear phenomena of the TE11-mode in a rectangular optical waveguide

- Retaining all significant terms of Maxwell equations, we derive a gener-alized governing equation for waves in a Kerr-nonlinear, rectangulai optical waveguide. As a specific example, we show that the field com-ponents of the TEn-mode in such a waveguide will achieve oscillations in both amplitude and phase during propagation. The nonlinearity appeal only in a characteristic length scale of these phenomena, whereas tht overall properties of the oscillations are determined by the waveguidt geometry.

Equivalence of Chern-Simons gauge theory and WZNW model using a BRST symmetry
- 1999

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The equivalence between the Chern-Simons gauge theory on a three-dimensional manifold with boundary and the WZNW model on the boundary is established in a simple and general way using the BRST symmetry. Our approach is based on restoring gauge invariance of the Chern-Simons theory in the presence of a boundary. This gives a correspondence to the WZNW model that does not require solving any constraints, fixing the gauge or specifying boundary conditions.

The effect of the presence of quadrupole pairing on the properties of Kπ = 1+ states in doubly even nuclei

- The influence of a quadrupole pair interaction on Kπ = 1+ states in rare earth nuclei is investigated using the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation. Comparison of the obtained results with available experimental data indicates a rather weak quadrupole pair interaction in these nuclei. The calculation of the B(M1) strength is extended to higher energies to account for the recently observed higher lying M1-strength. The differential cross section of inelastic electron scattering is calculated within DWBA for lower lying Kπ = 1+ states and is seen to be consistent with the interpretation that the observed states around 3 MeV are of isovector convection current character and have their main M1-strength coming from natural parity proton components.

Excursions Along the Drip Line
- 1995
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The drip lines are the outer boundaries of the chart of the nuclides, terminating the isobaric chains on both sides of the valley of .beta.-stability with respect to stability against particle emission. The neutron drip line is, at the moment, only experimentally accessible for the very lightest elements. When approaching the neutron drip line, the structure of the nuclei starts to show anomalies compared to stable nuclei. The best known case is 11Li, having an extremely dilute structure with two loosely bound neutrons surrounding a 9Li core with normal density. This kind of configuration has been labelled a neutron halo and can be found in several nuclei along the drip line. This work regards experimental studies of drip-line nuclei through dissociation reactions at high beam energies and spectroscopy of .beta.-delayed particles. The effect of cross-talk between neutron detectors has been measured and compared to the results of a simulation code. The measurements confirmed the validity of the code and showed a negligible contribution of cross-talk for the neutron-detector arrays used in experiments at GANIL. The .beta.-delayed charged particles following the precursors 6,8He have been studied at ISOLDE, CERN with a newly developed gas-detector telescope. The branching ratios for .beta.-delayed deuteron emission from 6He and .beta.-delayed triton emission from 8He were measured with improved accuracy and decreased low-energy cut-off compared to earlier experiments. In an experiment at GSI, dissociation of 8He, 11Li and 11Be, with energies of 240 MeV/u, 280 MeV/u and 460 MeV/u respectively, was studied. From the experimental data, cross sections and momentum distributions could be extracted. The reaction mechanisms could be probed by studying various reaction channels, revealing an invariability regarding the width of the neutron momentum distribution when concentrating upon the core-breakup reactions. The role of the unbound resonance 10Li has been elucidated by population through one-neutron stripping from 11Li and one-proton stripping from 11Be. The longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions from the reaction 11Li -> 9Li + X have been measured at the same beam energy. The widths were found to be identical, and the lack of Coulomb broadening in the transverse case indicates that the halo-removal reactions predominantly take place at large impact parameters.

Superdeformed triaxial bands in Lu-163,165

- An experimental investigation of the nucleus 165Lu, using the reactions 138Ba(31P,4n) 165Lu and 150Sm(19F,4n) 165Lu at beam energies of E = 155 and 95 MeV, respectively, has been performed. Among other additions to the existing level scheme, a new band, with transition energies almost identical to a strongly deformed (β2 0.42) πi13/2[660 1/2+] band recently discovered in 163Lu has been established. A theoretical analysis of the structure of the two Lu isotopes, 165Lu and 163Lu is carried out by detailed calculations of total potential energy surfaces for specific configurations. By a diabatic treatment of crossings specific proton configurations as πi13/2[660 1/2+] are identified throughout the deformation space and as a function of spin. It is found as a general feature that well deformed local minima of considerable nonaxial symmetry coexist with a normal deformed global minimum. The depth of these local minima depend on configuration. The structure of the different global and local minima found in these surfaces are analysed and discussed in terms of occupation of available basis configurations and their orientation relative to the rotation axis. The strongly deformed minima are found to belong to a group of superdeformed triaxial structures, expected to appear at low energies for certain favourable combinations of proton and neutron numbers.

- A high-spin rotational cascade of six gamma rays has been observed in Zn-62. The quadrupole moment of 2.7(-0.5)(+0.7) e b measured for this band corresponds to a deformation beta(2) = 0.45(-0.07)(+0.10). The properties of this band are in excellent agreement with calculations that predict high-spin superdeformed bands in Zn-62 with deformations beta(2) = 0.41-0.49. These results establish a new region of superdeformation for nuclei with neutron and proton numbers N, Z approximate to 30-32.

Lifetimes of 5d96p and 5d86s6p levels in Hg iii

- Experimental and theoretical studies of lifetimes and transition probabilities for doubly ionized mercury, Hg III, are reported. Such data are currently of great astrophysical interest because observations with the Goddard high resolution spectrograph on board the Hubble space telescope have shown some 5d(9)6s-5d(9)6p transitions of Hg III in the spectrum of the chemically peculiar star chi Lupi. We now report experimental lifetimes for some selected 5d(9)6p and 5d(8)6s6p levels, determined by beam-foil spectroscopy, and compare the results with theoretical transition probabilities based on relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations.
