Multipacting (MP) is a resonant electron discharge, often plaguing radiofrequency structures, produced by the synchronization of emitted electrons with the RF fields and by the electron multiplication at the impact point with the surface of…

The damping of isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance in $^{16}$O is studied using extended random-phase-approximation approaches derived from the time-dependent density-matrix theory. It is pointed out that the effects of ground-state…
The coupling of photons with (ultra-) relativistic atomic nuclei is presented in two particular circumstances: very high electromagnetic fields and very short photon pulses. We consider a typical situation where the (bare) nuclei (fully…

This paper is concerned with efficient representations and approximations of the solution to the scattering problem by a system of strongly coupled plasmonic particles. Three schemes are developed: the first is the resonant expansion which…
In this paper the fields generated by an electric dipole and a gravitational quadrapole are shown to propagate superluminally in the nearfield of the source and reduce to the speed of light as the fields propagate into the farfield. A…

We will provide detailed arguments showing that the set of Maxwell equations, and the corresponding wave equations, do not properly describe the evolution of electromagnetic wave-fronts. We propose a nonlinear corrected version that is…
