Numerous geological observations evidence that inelastic deformation occurs during sills and laccoliths emplacement. However, most models of sill and laccolith emplacement neglect inelastic processes by assuming purely elastic deformation of the host rock. This assumption has never been tested so that the role of inelastic deformation on the growth dynamics of magma intrusions remains poorly un...

The single- and many-particle Coulomb excitation spectra in Bernal bilayer graphene can be modulated by a uniform perpendicular electric field. The field-induced oscillatory parabolic bands possess saddle points and local extrema, which, respectively, lead to logarithmically divergent peaks and discontinuous steps in the bare response functions. Such special structures are associated with the p...

It has been argued that if light Higgs bosons do not exist then the self– interactions of W ’s become strong in the TeV region and can be observed in longitudinal WW scattering. We present a model with many inelastic channels in the WW scattering process, corresponding to the creation of heavy fermion pairs. The presence of these heavy fermions affects the elastic scattering of W ’s by propagat...

Seismic design procedures in current building provisions are based on linear and nonlinear static approaches that use capacity-demand index relationships such as the relationship between the lateral strength and the maximum lateral displacement. Previous research on the development of these relationships is based on linear-elastic ground motion acceleration response spectra, whereas the current...

The oscillatory behaviour observed at large angles in heavy ion elastic and inelastic scattering cross-sections at energies above the Coulomb barrier, is interpreted as an interference effect between rainbow scattering and the contribution coming from the negative branch of the classical deflection function. In heavy ion reactions, at energies near and above the Coulomb barrier, the structure o...

We report elastic and electronically inelastic cross sections for low-energy electron scattering by pentafluoroethane, C2HF5 . Our calculations were performed using the Schwinger multichannel method. For elastic scattering, we calculated integral, differential, and momentum transfer cross sections for energies from 5 to 50 eV. In the inelastic case, we obtained integral and differential cross s...

We discuss laser-dressed dipolar and van der Waals interactions between atoms and polar molecules, so that a cold atomic gas with laser admixed Rydberg levels acts as a designed reservoir for both elastic and inelastic collisional processes. The elastic scattering channel is characterized by large elastic scattering cross sections and repulsive shields to protect from close encounter collisions...

An overview is given of some recent and planned experiments which have or will substantially increase our knowledge of the electromagnetic properties of the few body systems. Specific examples include the proton and neutron elastic form factors, the deuteron elastic form factors, deuteron threshold electro-disintigration and quasi-elastic scattering, deuteron photodisintigration, and finally me...
