Scissors mode from a different perspective

Spatial Judgments from Different Vantage Points: A Different Perspective

SU(3) Symmetry and Scissors Mode Vibrations in Nuclei

We show that a nearly perfect SU(3) symmetry emerges from an extended Projected Shell Model. Starting from a deformed potential we construct separate bases for neutron and proton collective rotational states by exact angular momentum projection. These rotational states are then coupled by diagonalizing a residual pairing plus quadrupole interaction. The states obtained exhibit a one-to-one corr...

Nonclassical scissors mode of a vortex lattice in a Bose-Einstein condensate

We show that a Bose-Einstein condensate with a vortex lattice in a rotating anisotropic harmonic potential exhibits a very low frequency scissors mode. The appearance of this mode is due to the SO 2 symmetry breaking introduced by the vortex lattice. The corresponding Goldstone mode in an isotropic trap becomes, in an anisotropic trap, a scissors mode, whose frequency is finite and tends to zer...

A Different Perspective

When evaluating empirical papers for publication, grant proposals, or individual contributions (e.g., awarding tenure), the basic question one should ask is how much the contribution adds to understanding in psychology and not whether the contribution takes a particular form or represents one particular model of how to do empirical studies. Academic psychology has flourished with its mastery of...

Phase transitions for rock-scissors-paper game on different networks.

Monte Carlo simulations and dynamical mean-field approximations are performed to study the phase transitions in the rock-scissors-paper game on different host networks. These graphs are originated from lattices by introducing quenched and annealed randomness simultaneously. In the resulting phase diagrams three different stationary states are identified for all structures. The comparison of res...
