A typical classical interference pattern of two waves with intensities I_1, I_2 and relative phase phi = phi_2-phi_1 may be characterized by the 3 observables p = sqrt{I_1 I_2}, p cos\phi and -p sin\phi. They are, e.g. the starting point…
Polarization behaviour shows a transition in the pulsar population, where energetic sources with higher spin-down energy loss, $\dot{E} > 10^{34}$ erg~s$^{-1}$, often have fractional linear polarisation ($L/I$) close to 100\%, while below…
The evidences for sigma(600) and kappa(900) observed in our analyses on the pi pi and K pi scattering phase shift data are described, briefly. The analysis have been performed by the interfering amplitude method, which satisfies the…
