A proposal for a quantitative indicator of original research output
Roberto Onofrio
The use of quantitative indicators of scientific productivity seems now quite widespread for assessing researchers and research institutions. There is a general perception, however…
Cooling and thermometry of atomic Fermi gases
Roberto Onofrio
We review the status of cooling techniques aimed at achieving the deepest quantum degeneracy for atomic Fermi gases. We first discuss some physical motivations, providing a quantit…
Simulating sympathetic cooling of atomic mixtures in nonlinear traps
Francisco Jauffred, Roberto Onofrio, Bala Sundaram
We discuss the dynamics of sympathetic cooling of atomic mixtures in realistic, nonlinear trapping potentials using a microscopic effective model developed earlier for harmonic tra…
On the treatment of -changing proton-hydrogen Rydberg atom collisions
D. Vrinceanu, R. Onofrio, H. R. Sadeghpour
Energy-conserving, angular momentum-changing collisions between protons and highly excited Rydberg hydrogen atoms are important for precise understanding of atomic recombination at…
Universal and anomalous behavior in the thermalization of strongly interacting harmonically trapped gas mixtures
Francisco Jauffred, Roberto Onofrio, Bala Sundaram
We report on the dynamics of thermalization by extending a generalization of the Caldeira-Leggett model, developed in the context of cold atomic gases confined in a harmonic trap,…
