Tests of the Porter-Thomas Distribution for Reduced Partial Neutron Widths
H. -L. Harney, H. A. Weidenmüller
Given N data points drawn from a chi-square distribution, we use Bayesian inference to determine most likely values and N-dependent confidence intervals for the width sigma and the…
Transport equations for driven many-body systems
Hans A. Weidenmüller
Transport equations for autonomous driven Fermionic quantum systems are derived with the help of statistical assumptions and of the Markov approximation. The statistical assumption…
Laser-nucleus interactions in the sudden regime
Sergei Kobzak, Hans A. Weidenmüller, Adriana Pálffy
The interaction between medium-weight nuclei and a strong zeptosecond laser pulse of MeV photons is investigated theoretically. Multiple absorption of photons competes with nuclear…
Rate for Laser-Induced Nuclear Dipole Absorption
Adriana Pálffy, Paul-Gerhard Reinhard, Hans A. Weidenmüller
Using the Brink-Axel hypothesis we derive the rate for nuclear dipole excitation by a laser pulse carrying photons with average energy MeV. As e…
Random-matrix approach to the statistical compound nuclear reaction at low energies using the Monte-Carlo technique
T. Kawano, P. Talou, H. A. Weidenmüller
Using a random-matrix approach and Monte-Carlo simulations, we generate scattering matrices and cross sections for compound-nucleus reactions. In the absence of direct reactions we…
Effective Field Theory of Emergent Symmetry Breaking in Deformed Atomic Nuclei
T. Papenbrock, H. A. Weidenmüller
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in non-relativistic quantum systems has previously been addressed in the framework of effective field theory. Low-lying excitations are constructed fr…
