Many-body work distributions

Energy distributions from three-body decaying many-body resonances.

We compute energy distributions of three particles emerging from decaying many-body resonances. We reproduce the measured energy distributions from decays of two archetypal states chosen as the lowest 0+ and 1+ resonances in 12C populated in beta decays. These states are dominated by sequential, through the 8Be ground state, and direct decays, respectively. These decay mechanisms are reflected ...

Radiative heat transfer: many-body effects

Heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation is one of the common methods of energy transfer between objects. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we have studied the effect of particle arrangement in the transmission of radiative heat in many-body systems. In order to show the effect of the structure morphology on the collective properties, the radiative heat transfer is studied and the re...

Many Body Theory

We study theoretically the spin response functions using the relativistic many body theory. The spin response functions in the relativistic theory are reduced largely from the ones of the non-relativistic theory. This happens particularly to the longitudinal spin responses. This fact is able to remove the difficulty in reproducing the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse response functions ...

Many Robots Make Short Work

1. Holding a meeting At the SRI Artificial Intelligence Lab, we have a long history of building autonomous robots, from the original Shakey (remember the STRIPS planner?) through Flakey [Congdon 1993] and more recently, the Pioneer class of small robots. Our current research focuses on realtime vision for robots, and multirobot planning using an agent-oriented architecture. For the AAAI contest...
