Geometrical Phases And Symmetries In Dissipative Systems, Adam S. Landsberg
Geometrical Phases And Symmetries In Dissipative Systems, Adam S. Landsberg
WM Keck Science Faculty Papers
A geometrical phase is constructed for dissipative dynamical systems possessing continuous symmetries. It emerges as the natural analog of the holonomy associated with the adiabatic variation of parameters in quantum-mechanical and classical Hamiltonian systems. In continuous media, the physical manifestation of this phase is a spatial shift of a wave pattern, typically a translation or rotation. An illustration associated with pattern formation in fluids is provided.
Recoil Effects And Cp Violation In Neutron Scattering, Vladimir Gudkov
Recoil Effects And Cp Violation In Neutron Scattering, Vladimir Gudkov
Faculty Publications
The problem of the imitation of CP violation in neutron scattering is discussed. The thermal motion of nuclei cannot contribute to symmetry-violating effects. The influence of the nuclear depolarization due to neutron scattering is estimated.

Spectra of energetic protons and deuterons emitted following negative muon capture from rest in 3He have been measured for the first time. Significant capture strength is observed at high energy transfers (mμ- Ev >60 MeV) for the two-body and three-body breakup channels, indicative of the importance of nucleon-nucleon correlations and meson exchange currents in the capture process. A simple plane wave impulse approximation calculation reproduces the proton spectrum reasonably well, but underpredicts the deuteron rate at the highest energies by a large factor.
Density Effect In Cu K-Shell Ionization By 5.1-Gev Electrons, W. E. Meyerhof, D. G. Jensen, D. M. Kawall, S. E. Kuhn, D. W. Spooner, Z. E. Meziani, D.. N. Faust

Physics Faculty Publications
We have made an absolute measurement of the Cu K-shell impact ionization cross section by 5.1-GeV electrons, which demonstrates directly a density effect predicted by Fermi in 1940. By determining the ratio of the K x-ray yield from a thin front and back layer of the target by a novel grazing emission method, we have verified the effect of transition radiation on the x-ray production, suggested by Sorensen and reported by Bak et al.
