Divergence of sun-rays by atmospheric refraction at large solar zenith angles
Abstract. For the determination of photolysis rates at large zenith angles it has been demonstrated that refraction by the earth’s atmosphere must be taken into account. In fact, due to the modified optical path the optical transmittance is thereby increased in most instances. Here we show that in addition the divergence of sun-rays, which is also caused by refraction but which reduces the dire...
متن کاملIsaac Newton and the astronomical refraction.
In a short interval toward the end of 1694, Isaac Newton developed two mathematical models for the theory of the astronomical refraction and calculated two refraction tables, but did not publish his theory. Much effort has been expended, starting with Biot in 1836, in the attempt to identify the methods and equations that Newton used. In contrast to previous work, a closed form solution is iden...
متن کاملThe Vacuum Functional at Large Distances
For fields that vary slowly on the scale of the lightest mass the logarithm of the vacuum functional can be expanded as a sum of local functionals, however this does not satisfy the obvious form of the Schrödinger equation. For φ4 theory we construct the appropriate equation that this expansion does satisfy. This reduces the eigenvalue problem for the Hamiltonian to a set of algebraic equations...
متن کاملThe strong coupling constant at large distances
In this paper we discuss effective strong coupling constants. Those are well behaved in the low-Q2 domain, contrarily to αs from pQCD. We present an extraction of an effective strong coupling constant from Jefferson Lab polarized data at intermediate and low Q2. We also show how these data, together with spin sum rules, allow us to obtain the effective coupling constant over the entire Q2 range...
