Quantum decoherence of single-photon counters.
The interaction of a quantum system with the environment leads to the so-called quantum decoherence. Beyond its fundamental significance, the understanding and the possible control of this dynamics in various scenarios is a key element for mastering quantum information processing. Here we report the quantitative probing of what can be called the quantum decoherence of detectors, a process remin...
متن کاملAzimuthal correlations in photon-photon collisions.
Using the general helicity formula for γγ collisions, we are showing that it should be possible to determine a number of independent “structure functions”, i.e. linear combinations of elements of the two-photon helicity tensor, through azimuthal correlations in two-body or quasi two-body reactions induced by the photon-photon interaction, provided certain experimental conditions are satisfied. ...
متن کاملProportional Counters as Low Energy Photon Detectors
We have investigated the response of an argon-methane proportional counter to monochromatic X-rays in the range 99-277 eV . The apparent nonlinearities in mean pulse height as a function of photon energy and the detailed shape of the pulse height distribution for each energy can be predicted quite precisely using the extensive atomic data available for argon. Based on this understanding, we pro...
متن کاملPhoton-photon correlations in decay of aligned hydrogenlike ions
L. Borowska†1,2, A. Surzhykov3, Th. Stöhlker4, and S. Fritzsche1 1University of Kassel, Kassel, Germany; 2KINR, 03680 Kyiv, Ukraine; 3MPI–K, Heidelberg, Germany; 4GSI, Darmstadt, Germany The two–photon decay of (hydrogenlike) atoms has been studied intensively both, by theory and experiment. However, while most investigations in the past have dealt with neutral hydrogen or low–Z ions, recent in...
متن کاملDirect Photon-Hadron Correlations Measured with PHENIX
Direct photon-hadron correlations greatly improve our ability to perform jet tomography in heavy-ion collisions because the momentum of the direct photon can be used to constrain the initial momentum of the opposing jet. By comparing the spectrum of away-side hadrons observed in heavy ion collisions to the spectrum seen in nucleon collisions we can quantify the medium modification to the fragme...
