Excitation Of Neutron Star Oscillations By An Orbiting Particle, Johannes Ruoff, Pablo Laguna, Jörge Pullin Jan 2001

Excitation Of Neutron Star Oscillations By An Orbiting Particle, Johannes Ruoff, Pablo Laguna, Jörge Pullin

Faculty Publications

The excitation of neutron stars is expected to be an important source of gravitational radiation. Therefore it is of fundamental importance to investigate mechanisms that trigger oscillations in neutron stars in order to characterize the emitted radiation. We present results from a numerical study of the even-parity gravitational radiation generated from a particle orbiting a neutron star. In contrast to previous calculations performed in the Fourier domain, we use the direct time evolution of the perturbation equations. We focus our investigation on those conditions on the orbital parameters that favor the excitation of w-modes. We find that for astrophysically realistic …

Su(3) Symmetry Breaking In Lower [Formula Presented]-Shell Nuclei, V. G. Gueorguiev, J. P. Draayer, C. W. Johnson Jan 2001

Su(3) Symmetry Breaking In Lower [Formula Presented]-Shell Nuclei, V. G. Gueorguiev, J. P. Draayer, C. W. Johnson

Faculty Publications

Results of shell-model calculations for lower [Formula Presented]-shell nuclei show that SU(3) symmetry breaking in this region is driven by the single-particle spin-orbit splitting. However, even though states of the yrast band exhibit SU(3) symmetry breaking, the results also show that the yrast band [Formula Presented] values are insensitive to this fragmentation of the SU(3) symmetry; specifically, the quadrupole collectivity as measured by [Formula Presented] transition strengths between low lying members of the yrast band remain high even though SU(3) appears to be broken. Results for [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] using the Kuo-Brown-3 two-body interaction are given to illustrate …


Interband B (E2) Transition Strengths In Odd-Mass Heavy Deformed Nuclei, C. E. Vargas, J. G. Hirsch, J. P. Draayer Jan 2001

Interband B (E2) Transition Strengths In Odd-Mass Heavy Deformed Nuclei, C. E. Vargas, J. G. Hirsch, J. P. Draayer

Faculty Publications

Interband B(E2) transition strengths between different normal parity bands in 163Dy and 165Er are described using the pseudo-SU(3) model. The Hamiltonian includes Nilsson single-particle energies, quadrupole-quadrupole and pairing interactions with fixed, parametrized strengths, and three extra rotor terms used to fine tune the energy spectra. In addition to interband transitions, the energy spectra and the ground state intraband B(E2) strengths are reported. The results show the pseudo-SU(3) shell model to be a powerful microscopic theory for a description of the normal parity sector in heavy deformed odd-A nuclei.


Quantum Measurement And Decoherence, G. W. Ford, J. T. Lewis, R. F. O’Connell Jan 2001

Quantum Measurement And Decoherence, G. W. Ford, J. T. Lewis, R. F. O’Connell

Faculty Publications

Distribution functions defined in accordance with the quantum theory of measurement are combined with results obtained from the quantum Langevin equation to discuss decoherence in quantum Brownian motion. Closed form expressions for wave packet spreading and the attenuation of coherence of a pair of wave packets are obtained. The results are exact within the context of linear passive dissipation. It is shown that, contrary to widely accepted current belief, decoherence can occur at high temperature in the absence of dissipation. Expressions for the decoherence time with and without dissipation are obtained that differ from those appearing in earlier discussions. © …


Cure For Unstable Numerical Evolutions Of Single Black Holes: Adjusting The Standard Adm Equations In The Spherically Symmetric Case, Bernard Kelly, Pablo Laguna, Keith Lockitch, Jorge Pullin, Erik Schnetter, Deirdre Shoemaker, Manuel Tiglio Jan 2001

Cure For Unstable Numerical Evolutions Of Single Black Holes: Adjusting The Standard Adm Equations In The Spherically Symmetric Case, Bernard Kelly, Pablo Laguna, Keith Lockitch, Jorge Pullin, Erik Schnetter, Deirdre Shoemaker, Manuel Tiglio

Faculty Publications

Numerical codes based on a direct implementation of the standard Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formulation of Einstein's equations have generally failed to provide long-term stable and convergent evolutions of black hole space-times when excision is used to remove the singularities. We show that, for the case of a single black hole in spherical symmetry, it is possible to circumvent these problems by adding terms involving the constraints to the evolution equations, thus adjusting the standard ADM system. We investigate the effect that the choice of the lapse and shift has on the stability properties of numerical simulations and thus on the form …

Ebusiness In The Forest Products Industry: A Comparison Of The United States And Canada, R. P. Vlosky, O. T. Pitis Jan 2001

Ebusiness In The Forest Products Industry: A Comparison Of The United States And Canada, R. P. Vlosky, O. T. Pitis

Faculty Publications

This study compares eBusiness capabilities of the forest products industries in the United States and Canada. Structural and functional factors limiting or encouraging eBusiness development, attitudes and perceived value of eBusiness, concerns and possible impacts of eBusiness on traditional business practices were studied. Results indicate that high potential exists for eBusiness to flourish in the forest products sectors in both these countries. However, the study indicated that Canadian respondents were further along in Internet implementation in 1998 relative to their U.S. counterparts. In addition, Canadian respondents had a higher degree of satisfaction in achieving the desired benefits of using the …


Plug Source And Growth Retardants Affect Finish Size Of Bedding Plants, J. S. Kuehny, A. Painter, P. C. Branch Jan 2001

Plug Source And Growth Retardants Affect Finish Size Of Bedding Plants, J. S. Kuehny, A. Painter, P. C. Branch

Faculty Publications

Eight bedding plant species were grown from plugs obtained from two sources. The plugs were transplanted into jumbo six packs and sprayed with a solution of chlormequat/daminozide with concentrations of 1000/800, 1250/1250, or 1500/5000 mg.L-1 when new growth was ≅5 cm in height or width. Three different species were grown in the fall (Dianthus chinensis L., 'Telstar Mix', Petunia xhybrida Hort. Vilm.-Andr., 'Dreams Red', and Viola xwittrockiana Gains., 'Bingo Blue'), winter [Antirrhinum majus L., 'Tahiti Mix', Matthiola incana (L.) R. Br., 'Midget Red', and P. x hybrida, 'Dreams Mix'], and spring [Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, 'Cooler Pink', Salvia splendens …
