We show how to attach an external photon to a system of three strongly interacting nucleons described by three-body scattering equations. Our method involves the idea of gauging the scattering equations themselves, and results in…
Electron orbits are calculated in solitary two-dimensional axisymmetric electrostatic potential structures, typical of plasma electron holes, in order to establish the conditions for the particles to remain trapped. Analytic calculations of…
We present a model for neutrino-nucleus scattering in the energy region relevant for present and forthcoming neutrino-oscillation experiments. The model is based on the RPA treatment of the nuclear responses in the quasi-elastic and…
The large values of the singlet and triplet two-nucleon scattering lengths locate the nuclear system close to the unitary limit. This particular position strongly constrains the low-energy observables in the three-nucleon system as…
We propose an implementation for quantum logic and computing using trapped atomic spins of two different species, interacting via direct magnetic spin-spin interaction. In this scheme, the spins (electronic or nuclear) of distantly spaced…
We find the threshold structure of the two- and three-nucleon systems, with the deuteron and 3H/3He as the only bound nuclei, sufficient to predict a pair of four-nucleon states: a deeply bound state which is identified with the helium-4…
We carry out a model study on two-atom interactions and bound states in quasi-two dimensional traps. The interactions are modeled by two-parameter potentials with parameters being the range $r_0$ and the $s$-wave scattering length $a_s$. We…
We analyze the coherent dynamics of excitons in three dimensional topologically disordered networks with traps. If the interactions between the nodes of the network are long ranged, i.e., algebraically decaying as a function of the distance…
