Amplitude and Phase Fluctuations for Gravitational Waves Propagating through Inhomogeneous Mass Distribution in the Universe
When a gravitational wave (GW) from a distant source propagates through the universe, its amplitude and phase change due to gravitational lensing by the inhomogeneous mass distribution. We derive the amplitude and phase fluctuations, and calculate these variances in the limit of a weak gravitational field of density perturbation. If the scale of the perturbation is smaller than the Fresnel scal...
متن کاملMeasurement of phase fluctuations for transmitted waves in random media
[1] Transmission fluctuations of log-amplitude and phase can be used to construct coherence functions to infer the statistical characteristics of crustal and mantle small-scale heterogeneities. Recent numerical simulations of wave propagation in random media have revealed an apparent discrepancy between simulations and theory for phase coherence functions. In this paper, we show that the report...
متن کاملApparent Attenuation of Shear Waves Propagating through a Randomly Stratified Anisotropic Medium
Waves propagating through heterogeneous media experience scattering that can convert a coherent pulse into small incoherent fluctuations. This may appear as attenuation for the transmitted front pulse. The classic O’Doherty-Anstey theory describes such a transformation for scalar waves in finely layered media. Recent observations for seismic waves in the earth suggest that this theory can expla...
متن کاملMultiple foci in the range dependence of the intensity fluctuations of a plane wave propagating in a random medium.
The differential equation for the fourth-order statistical moment of the field of a plane wave propagating in a two dimensional random medium is solved numerically. Results are presented for the scintillation index when the index-of-refraction correlation function of the medium is Gaussian and gamma (ratio of diffraction length to scattering length) is 50. It is pointed out that the solution ha...
متن کاملBroadening of Transverse Momentum of Partons Propagating through a Medium
Broadening of the transverse momentum of a parton propagating through a medium is treated using the color dipole formalism, which has the advantage of being a well developed phenomenology in deep-inelastic scattering and soft processes. Within this approach, nuclear broadening should be treated as color filtering, i.e. absorption of large-size dipoles leading to diminishing (enlarged) transvers...
