Using a two-channel Anderson model, we develop a theory of composite pairing in the 115 family of heavy fermion superconductors that incorporates the effects of f -electron valence fluctuations. Our calculations introduce “symplectic Hubbard operators”: an extension of the slave boson Hubbard operators that preserves both spin rotation and time-reversal symmetry in a large N expansion, permitti...

The triaxial strongly deformed (TSD) bands in 167Lu were populated by the 123Sb(48Ca, 4n) reaction with a beam energy of 203 MeV. Gamma rays, requiring five fold or more in prompt coincidence, were detected with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Of particular interests are TSD bands 1 and 2 which have previously been interpreted as zero phonon and one phonon wobbling bands, respectively. Using the ...

A series of pentacyanoferrate complexes, N a3[F e (C N )5L ] /jH20 , where L = (C H 3) 2N H , (C 2H 5) 2N H , (C 2H 5)3N , (C 3H 7)2N H , (C 4H 9)2N H , (C 4H 9)3N and (C 6H 5)2N H were studied by Mössbauer and infrared spectroscopy. A ll the complexes exhibited two line spectra with A E Q = 0.73—1.92 mms“1 and <5 = —0.04—0.49 m m s '1 (w.r.t. SNP) and can be divided into two groups with well d...

1550-7998=20 We describe the possibility of using the laser interferometer space antenna (LISA) ’s gravitational-wave observations to study, with high precision, the response of a massive central body (e.g. a black hole or a soliton star) to the tidal gravitational pull of an orbiting, compact, small-mass object (a white dwarf, neutron star, or small-mass black hole). Motivated by this LISA app...

We present an exact solution of the anisotropies of cosmic background radiation (CBR) from a local collapse described by a spherical over-dense region embedded in a flat universe, with the emphasis on the relationship between the dipole (∆T/T)d and the quadrupole (∆T/T)q anisotropy. This result has been used to examine the kinematic quadrupole correction (∆T/T)q = (∆T/T) 2 d/2, which is usually...

Measurement of the effect of the eddy current induced in the APS storage ring vacuum chamber by the storage ring sextupole magnet and its compensation using digital feedback with proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) control algorithm are presented. The magnetic field in the vacuum chamber shows strong quadrupole and sextupole components varying with frequency, in addition to significant...

A continuously operated electrostatic trap for polar molecules is demonstrated. The trap has a volume of approximately 0.6 cm3 and holds molecules with a positive Stark shift. With deuterated ammonia from a quadrupole velocity filter, a trap density of approximately 10(8) cm(-3) is achieved with an average lifetime of 130 ms and a motional temperature of approximately 300 mK. The trap offers go...

Low-lying collective excitations in even-even vibrational and transitional nuclei may be described semiclassically as quadrupole running waves on the surface of the nucleus ("tidal waves"), and the observed vibrational-rotational behavior can be thought of as resulting from a rotating condensate of interacting d bosons. These concepts have been investigated by measuring lifetimes of the levels ...
