We have identified a likely radio counterpart to the low-mass X-ray binary MXB 1730−335 (the Rapid Burster). The counterpart has shown 8.4 GHz radio on/off behavior correlated with the X-ray on/off behavior as observed by the RXTE/ASM during six VLA observations. The probability of an unrelated, randomly varying background source duplicating this behavior is 1–3% depending on the correlation ti...

Given the sensitivity of current ground-based Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. Hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. While with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...

Brooding over bosons, wave packets and Bose Einstein correlations, we present a generic quantum mechanical system that contains arbitrary number of bosons characterized by wavepackets and that can undergo a Bose-Einstein condensation either by cooling, or increasing the number density of bosons, or by increasing the overlap of the multi-boson wave-packet states, achieved by changing the size of...

The study of the statistical properties of quantum systems has a long history with important recent developments. In high energy physics quantum statistical correlations are studied in order to infer the space-time dimensions of the intermediate state formed in elementary particle reactions. In high energy heavy ion collisions hundreds of bosons are created. The correct theoretical description ...

Symmetry, dimensionality, and disorder play a pivotal role in critical phenomena. The atomic imaging capabilities of the scanning tunneling microscope were used to directly visualize the interaction between charge density oscillations and lattice defects in a two-dimensional charge density wave (CDW) system. Point defects act as nucleation centers of the CDW, which, as the temperature is lowere...

The wave turbulence theory predicts that a conservative system of nonlinear waves can exhibit process condensation, which originates in the singularity Rayleigh-Jeans equilibrium distribution classical waves. Considering light propagation multimode fiber, we show condensation is driven by an energy flow toward higher-order modes, and bi-directional redistribution wave-action (or power) to funda...

submerged breakwaters are one of the shore protective structures. any discontinuity in these breakwaters causes changes on current parameters including speed and water surface profile. in this paper, discontinuous submerged breakwaters were modelled to investigate the changes in the wave and flow pattern.to investigate the phenomenon, three models including a shore with constant slope, a shore ...
