We investigate two methods to include the strong nuclear force in hydrogen–antihydrogen scattering calculations. First, we construct a model optical potential with parameters determined by the measured shift and width of the protonium ground state. Although this potential is a very crude model for the strong nuclear force, its parameters may be adjusted to reproduce both bound states and low-energy annihilation cross sections to within the experimental accuracy. It is then shown that this potential may be reduced to a short-distance boundary condition in terms of the proton–antiproton strong-interaction scattering length. Elastic and annihilation cross sections for ground-state hydrogen–antihydrogen scattering are calculated for s- and p-waves, and collision energies up to 1 atomic unit. The two methods are found to agree to within about 1%. The main source of discrepancy is that the scattering-length approach does not account for vacuum polarization, relativistic, and finite-size corrections. We verify that the range of the strong interaction potential does not affect the hydrogen–antihydrogen s-wave scattering properties, and that the strong interaction has negligible influence on p-wave scattering.

Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo

The interaction between Be4+ and hydrogen atom is studied using the three-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo method (CTMC) and the quasiclassical trajectory Monte Carlo method of Kirschbaum and Wilets (QTMC-KW). We present total cross sections for target ionization, target excitation, and charge exchange to the projectile bound states. Calculations are carried out in the projectile energy range between 10 and 1000 keV/au, relevant to the interest of fusion research when the target hydrogen atom is in the ground state. Our results are compared with previous theoretical results. We found that the classical treatment describes reasonably well the cross sections for various final channels. Moreover, we show that the calculations by the QTMC-KW model significantly improve the obtained cross sections.

The online atomic database of NORAD-Atomic-Data, where NORAD stands for Nahar OSU Radiative, is part of the data sources of the two international collaborations of the Opacity Project (OP) and the Iron Project (IP). It contains large sets of parameters for the dominant atomic processes in astrophysical plasmas, such as, (i) photo-excitation, (ii) photoionization, (iii) electron–ion recombination, (iv) electron–impact excitations. The atomic parameters correspond to tables of energy levels, level-specific total photoionization cross-sections, partial photoionization cross-sections of all bound states for leaving the residual ion in the ground state, partial cross-sections of the ground state for leaving the ion in various excited states, total level-specific electron–ion recombination rate coefficients that include both the radiative and dielectronic recombination, total recombination rate coefficients summed from contributions of an infinite number of recombined states, total photo-recombination cross-sections and rates with respect to photoelectron energy, transition probabilities, lifetimes, collision strengths. The database was created after the first two atomic databases, TOPbase under the OP and TIPbase under the IP. Hence the contents of NORAD-Atomic-Data are either new or from repeated calculations using a much larger wave function expansion making the data more complete. The results have been obtained from the R-matrix method using the close-coupling approximation developed under the OP and IP, and from atomic structure calculations using the program SUPERSTRUCTURE. They have been compared with available published results which have been obtained theoretically and experimentally, and are expected to be of high accuracy in general. All computations were carried out using the computational facilities at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) starting in 1990. At present it contains atomic data for 154 atomic species, 98 of which are lighter atomic species with nuclear charge Z ≤ 28 and 56 are heavier ones with Z > 28. New data are added with publications.

We report on the production of a 41 K- 87 Rb dual-species Bose–Einstein condensate with tunable interspecies interaction and we study the mixture in the attractive regime; i.e., for negative values of the interspecies scattering length a 12 . The binary condensate is prepared in the ground state and confined in a pure optical trap. We exploit Feshbach resonances for tuning the value of a 12 . After compensating the gravitational sag between the two species with a magnetic field gradient, we drive the mixture into the attractive regime. We let the system evolve both in free space and in an optical waveguide. In both geometries, for strong attractive interactions, we observe the formation of self-bound states, recognizable as quantum droplets. Our findings prove that robust, long-lived droplet states can be realized in attractive two-species mixtures, despite the two atomic components possibly experiencing different potentials.

The plasma screening effect is found to uncover a Cooper minimum in the photoionization cross sections from the ground state of the Li atom embedded in Debye plasma environment. The variation of the location of this minimum with Debye screening length is discussed and analyzed in terms of the instability of the ground state.

Strength Distributions

Dipole oscillator strength distributions have been constructed and used to evaluate integrated oscillator strengths, and a variety of dipole oscillator strength properties, for ground state SO2, CS2, and OCS. Each distribution has been constructed by using experimental and theoretical photoabsorption cross sections and by subjecting the resulting dipole oscillator strength data to constraints provided by the Thomas–Reiche–Kuhn sum rule and molar refractivity data for the relevant dilute gases. The discussion includes graphical presentations of how various spectral regions of the dipole oscillator strength distributions contribute to the more important dipole properties.

The covariant Faddeev approach which describes baryons as relativistic three-quark bound states and is based on the Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations of QCD is briefly reviewed. All elements, including especially the baryons’ three-body-wave-functions, the quark propagators and the dressed quark-photon vertex, are calculated from a well-established approximation for the quark-gluon interaction. Selected previous results of this approach for the spectrum and elastic electromagnetic form factors of ground-state baryons and resonances are reported. The main focus of this talk is a presentation and discussion of results from a recent investigation of the electromagnetic transition form factors between ground-state octet and decuplet baryons as well as the octet-only Σ0 to Λ transition.

Within the framework of a modified potential cluster model with forbidden states, radiation n12C capture at energies from 10-5 keV to 5 MeV is considered, taking into account a wide resonance at Ex = 8.2 MeV. It is shown that on the basis of potentials that are consistent with the energies of the bound states, it is possible to correctly transfer the available experimental data. Based on the obtained total cross sections, the n12C capture reaction rate was calculated. The results for reaction rate are approximated by simple expressions, which simplifies their use in applied research.
