We study the incandescence of a semiconductor system characterized by a radiatively broadened material excitation. We show that the shape of the emission spectrum and the peak emissivity value are determined by the ratio between radiative…

Using the Brink-Axel hypothesis we derive the rate $R$ for nuclear dipole excitation by a laser pulse carrying $N \gg 1$ photons with average energy $\hbar \omega_0 \approx 5$ MeV. As expected $R \propto (\hbar \omega_0)^3$. The rate is…
A coordinate system is constructed for a general accelerating observer in 1+1 dimensions, and is used to determine the particle density of the massless Dirac vacuum for that observer. Equations are obtained for the spatial distribution and…
The unfolding problem in particle physics is to make inferences about the true particle spectrum based on smeared observations from a detector. This is an ill-posed inverse problem, where small changes in the smeared distribution can lead…
