Recently developed numerical simulation technique can simulate the coupled seismic and electromagnetic signals for a double couple point source or a finite fault planar source. Besides the source effect, the simulation results showed that both medium structure and medium property could affect the coupled seismic and electromagnetic signals. The waveform of coupled signals for a layered structur...

In this paper, we study several variations of the number field sieve to compute discrete logarithms in finite fields of the form Fpn , with p a medium to large prime. We show that when n is not too large, this yields a Lpn(1/3) algorithm with efficiency similar to that of the regular number field sieve over prime fields. This approach complements the recent results of Joux and Lercier on the fu...

The Runge–Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) method for solving hyperbolic conservation laws is a high order finite element method, which utilizes the useful features from high resolution finite volume schemes, such as the exact or approximate Riemann solvers, TVD Runge–Kutta time discretizations, and limiters. In this paper, we investigate using the RKDG finite element method for compressible...

We consider a model for the interrogation of a planar Debye medium by a non-harmonic microwave pulse from an antenna source in free space, and we compute the reflected solution using finite elements in the spatial variables and finite differences in the time variable. Perfectly Matched Layers (PMLs) and an absorbing boundary condition are used to damp waves interacting with artificial boundarie...

New experimental data on medium to heavy single Λ hypernuclei revealed a much larger spin-orbit splitting than observed in older measurements of light hypernuclei. Taking into account particle threshold effects and the density-dependence of inmedium coupling constants the apparent suppression of spin-orbit strength in light hypernuclei as well as the spin-orbit structure observed in medium to h...

A three-dimensional (3-D) finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) algorithm is developed to study the transformation of an electromagnetic wave by a dynamic (time-varying) inhomogeneous magnetized plasma medium. The current density vector is positioned at the center of the Yee cube to accommodate the anisotropy of the plasma medium due to the presence of a static magnetic field. An appropriate time...

In nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC, partons produced at high transverse momentum can undergo multiple scattering within the collision region prior to fragmenting into hadrons. We have studied the resulting medium-modified fragmentation function based on a calculation of the BDMPS-Z medium-induced gluon radiation for a dense, expanding medium of small finite extension. Here we explain...

The refractive index of a dielectric medium comprising both passive and inverted components in its permittivity was determined using two methods: (i) in the time domain, a finite–difference algorithm to compute the frequency–domain reflectance from reflection data for a pulsed plane wave that is normally incident on a dielectric half–space, and (ii) in the frequency domain, the deflection of an...

A fast, hybrid numerical–asymptotic algorithm for the calculation of the dynamical field evolution that is due to an arbitrary input pulse in any linear dispersive, attenuative medium is presented. The algorithm combines the numerical efficiency of the fast-Fourier-transform algorithm over a finite frequency domain that encompasses all the medium resonances with the accuracy and analytical effi...

Correlation effects in nuclear matter at finite temperatures are studied for subnuclear densities (ρ < ρ0) and medium excitation energy, where a nonrelativistic potential approach is possible. A quantum statistical approach is given, where clusters are treated under the influence of a clustered medium treated within a mean field approximation. Spectral functions, in-medium cross sections, and r...
