Scissors modes: The first overtone
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scissors modes were predicted in the framework of the two-rotor model. This model has an intrinsic harmonic spectrum, so that the level above the scissors mode, the first overtone, has excitation energy twice that of the scissors mode. Because the latter is of the order of 3 MeV in the rare-earth region, the energy of the overtone is below threshold for nucleon emission, and its width should remain small enough for the overtone to be observable. We find that B(E2) ↑overtone= 1 64 θ2 0 B(E2) ↑scissors, where θ0 is the zero-point oscillation amplitude, which in the rare-earth region is of order 10−1.

Analysis of overtone flexural modes operation in quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy.
A detailed investigation of a set of custom quartz tuning forks (QTFs), operating in the fundamental and first overtone flexural modes is reported. Support losses are the dominant energy dissipation processes when the QTFs vibrate at the first overtone mode. These losses can be decreased by increasing the ratio between the prong length and its thickness. The QTFs were implemented in a quartz en...

On the pulsation mode identification of short-period Galactic Cepheids
We present new theoretical Period-Radius (PR) relations for first overtone Galactic Cepheids. Current predictions are based on several sequences of nonlinear, convective pulsation models at solar chemical composition (Y=0.28, Z=0.02) and stellar masses ranging from 3.0 to 5.5 M . The comparison between predicted and empirical radii of four short-period Galactic Cepheids suggests that QZ Nor and...
متن کاملSecond OH overtone excitation and statistical dissociation dynamics of peroxynitrous acid.
The second OH overtone transition of the trans-perp conformer of peroxynitrous acid (tp-HOONO) is identified using infrared action spectroscopy. HOONO is produced by the recombination of photolytically generated OH and NO(2) radicals, and then cooled in a pulsed supersonic expansion. The second overtone transition is assigned to tp-HOONO based on its vibrational frequency (10 195.3 cm(-1)) and ...
متن کاملKink and fluting modes of stratified coronal magnetic loops with elliptical cross-sections
Aims. We study kink and fluting oscillations of a straight magnetic tube with an elliptic cross-section and density varying along the tube. Methods. The governing equations for kink and fluting modes in the thin tube approximation are derived. We found that there are two kink modes, polarised along the semimajor and semiminor axes of the elliptic cross-section. We have shown that the ratio of f...
