Path-Integrals And The Wkb Approximation, Br Holstein, Ar Swift

Barry R Holstein

The WKB approximation is demonstrated to be formally identical to the semiclassical limit of the Feynman path integral propagator. In the limit that the path integral propagator is dominated by the classical particle trajectory, it is identical to the propagator calculated directly from WKB wave functions in the stationary phase approximation.

Comment On Particle Mixing And Delta-I= 3/2 Terms In Non-Leptonic Weak Decays, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

A recent paper by Gusbin concludes that ΔI=3/2 terms in K→πη can substantially modify particle-mixing contributions to K+→π+π0. Using techniques which can successfully reproduce the experimental features of the K→ππ decays, we argue that this seems unlikely.

Implications Of Nuclear Parity Non-Conservation, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

From recent developments in the area of nuclear parity nonconservation we extract evidence for (1) SU(3) /soft-pion breaking in weak pionic vertices, and (2) larger values of quark masses than have been used in previous evaluations of "penguin" matrix elements.

Induced Tensor And Ft Asymmetries, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

Looked at from a model-independent point of view, the existence of a non-zero first class induced tensor form factor appears to provide a substantial contribution to the observed ft asymmetry in mirror Gamow-Teller beta decays. However, we demonstrate that, when analyzed in terms of the impulse approximation, this is only a negligibly small effect. RADIOACTIVITY Calculated contribution to ft asymmetry from first class induced tensor.

Compendium Of Bag-Model Matrix-Elements Of The Weak Non-Leptonic Hamiltonian, Jf Donoghue, E Golowich, Br Holstein, Wa Ponce

Barry R Holstein

A comprehensive list of baryon and meson single-particle matrix elements of the nonleptonic weak Hamiltonian is presented.

Triple Gamma Directional Correlations In The Decay Of Europium-154, Gary Lewis

Gary C. Lewis

The ('154)Eu nucleus decays by beta emission to an excited state of the ('154)Gd nucleus. The resulting ('154)Gd nucleus decays to its ground state by emission of gamma rays. One series of gamma rays emitted in this process is a cascade of energies 723 keV, 873 keV, and 123 keV. The 873 keV gamma ray is a mixture of E2 and M1 radiation. The mixing ratio of this transition has been measured using the triple gamma directional correlation technique. The experiments used a planar geometry with one angle fixed at 90 degrees. Two Ge(Li) detectors and one NaI(T1) detector were …

Independence Theories And Generalized Zero-One Laws, Lawrence Stout

Lawrence N. Stout

In this paper an abstract characterization of the properties of independent events is given with examples from topology, probability, and Baire structures. Using this notion of independence, proofs of the Hewitt-Savage and Kolmogorov zero-one laws are given which include the probabilistic case and the topological cases considered by Oxtoby, Christensen, and K. P. S. and M. Bhaskara Rao.
