Model-independent definition and determination of electromagnetic formfactors and multipole moments
نویسنده
چکیده
A theoretical method for the systematic definition and determination of Cartesian and spherical electromagnetic (onshell) formfactors and multipole moments for particles or composite systems from electromagnetic Breit-frame current distributions is presented. The method presented is free of sign ambiguities and is not based on the underlying analytical substructure of the electromagnetic current distributions. By construction the method contains all higher order momentum derivative terms within the definition of electromagnetic formfactors and multipole moments, which are not taken into account in a lot of existing theoretical calculations.

Supersymmetric Sum Rules for Electromagnetic Multipoles
We derive model independent, non-perturbative supersymmetric sum rules for the magnetic and electric multipole moments of any theory with N = 1 supersymmetry. We find that in any irreducible N = 1 supermultiplet the diagonal matrix elements of the l-multipole moments are completely fixed in terms of their off-diagonal matrix elements and the diagonal (l− 1)-multipole moments. † e-mail: giannak@...
متن کاملStatistics of cosmic microwave background polarization
We present a formalism for analyzing a full-sky temperature and polarization map of the cosmic microwave background. Temperature maps are analyzed by expanding over the set of spherical harmonics to give multipole moments of the two-point correlation function. Polarization, which is described by a second-rank tensor, can be treated analogously by expanding in the appropriate tensor spherical ha...
متن کاملCorrected Multipole Moments of Axisymmetric Electrovacuum Spacetimes
Following the procedure of Hoenselaers and Perjés we present a new corrected and dimensionally consistent set of multipole gravitational and electromagnetic moments for stationary axisymmetric spacetimes. Then, we use them to compute the multipole moments, both gravitational and electromagnetic, of a KerrNewman black hole.
متن کاملA New Guideline for the Allocation of Multipoles in the Multiple Multipole Method for Two Dimensional Scattering from Dielectrics
A new guideline for proper allocation of multipoles in the multiple multipole method (MMP) is proposed. In an ‘a posteriori’ approach, subspace fitting (SSF) is used to find the best location of multipole expansions for the two dimensional dielectric scattering problem. It is shown that the best location of multipole expansions (regarding their global approximating power) coincides with the med...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Current and Multipole Decomposition
In a set of two papers, we propose to study an old-standing problem, namely the electromagnetic interaction for particles of arbitrary spin. Based on the assumption that light-cone helicity at tree level and Q = 0 should be conserved non-trivially by the electromagnetic interaction, we are able to derive all the natural electromagnetic moments for a pointlike particle of any spin. In this first...
