This paper presents the derivation of Schwinger’s gauge invariant result of Im Leff upto one loop approximation, for particle production in an uniform electric field through the method of complex trajectory WKB approximation (CWKB). The CWKB proposed by one of the author’s [1] looks upon particle production as due to the motion of a particle in complex space-time plane, thereby requiring tunnel...

Dynamic and static stress concentration factors ao, and as generated at a fillet part are observed by photoelastic method, and the comparison between two different factors is carried out. Next, the reflection coefficient A is calculated using the height of incident and reflected waves measured by the strain gauge. As the result, following relationship a= ( I+ A )as is derived experimentally. Th...

Lloyd's mirror configuration has been suggested for determination of the reflection phase, in order to obtain information about the reflecting stratification. For thermal neutrons total reflection occurs at small glancing angles. We show that the phase of the reflection amplitude in total reflection is linear in the glancing angle at small angles, and determine the coefficient of proportionalit...
