We study the first excited state of He4 in a microscopic {H3+p,He3+n} cluster model, including H3 and He3 distortions. The phenomenological 1S0 H3+p scattering phase shift is well reproduced. We localize a complex pole of the S-matrix…
We study a nonequilibrium Ising model that stochastically evolves under the simultaneous operation of several spin-flip mechanisms. In other words, the local magnetic fields change sign randomly with time due to competing kinetics. This…
