Colliding axisymmetric pp-waves
نویسنده
چکیده
An exact solution is found describing the collision of a class of axisymmetric pp-waves. They are impulsive in character and their coordinate singularities become point curvature singularities at the boundaries of the interaction region. The solution is conformally flat. Concrete examples are given, involving an ultrarelativistic black hole against a burst of pure radiation or two colliding beam-like waves.

O ct 2 00 1 On polarization of strange baryons in reactions p + p → p + Λ 0 + K + and p + p → p + Σ 0 + K + near thresholds
Polarization properties of strange baryons produced in pp reactions, p + p → p + Λ0 + K+ and p + p → p + Σ0 + K+, near thresholds of the final states pΛ0K+ and pΣ0K+ are analysed relative to polarizations of colliding protons. The cross sections for pp reactions are calculated within the effective Lagrangian approach accounting for strong pp rescattering in the initial state of colliding proton...
متن کاملEffects of electron spiralling on the anisotropy and polarization of photon emission from an electron beam ion trap
We present a theoretical formalism for calculating the anisotropy and polarization of photon emission due to a spiralling beam of electrons colliding with an ensemble of atoms or ions. For an axisymmetric beam with a given velocity angular distribution, the polarization and angular distribution of the resulting radiation can be characterized by the expansion coefficients of the distribution fun...

متن کاملModeling Non-Axisymmetric Bow Shocks: Solution Method and Exact Analytic Solutions
A new solution method is presented for steady-state, momentum-conserving, non-axisymmetric bow shocks and colliding winds in the thin-shell limit. This is a generalization of previous formulations to include a density gradient in the pre-shock ambient medium, as well as anisotropy in the pre-shock wind. For cases where the wind is unaccelerated, the formalism yields exact, analytic solutions. S...
متن کاملSTRONG DENSITY GRADIENTS ON DENSITY WAVES IN SPIRAL GALAXIES by KIN
The purpose of this study is to determine more accurately the marginal stability condition for axisymmetric waves since it is believed that an unstable axisymmetric wave could affect the amplification of spiral waves. An axisymmetric wave with a gradient term of velocity dispersion ( surface density ) is derived. Analysis of this axisymmetric wave with a gradient term for our own galaxy shows t...
