Test of the Porter-Thomas distribution with the total cross section autocorrelation function
E. D. Davis
On the basis of experiments conducted in the 1970s and earlier, it is believed that, in a compound nucleus (CN), fluctuations in transition strengths are drawn from a Porter-Thomas…

Fluctuations in the U(n,f) cross section
G. F. Bertsch, David Brown, E. D. Davis
We examine the autocorrelation function of the U(n,f) reaction with a view to quantify the presence of intermediate structure in the cross section. Fluctuations due to comp…

Sewing sound quantum flesh onto classical bones
Edward D. Davis
Semiclassical transformation theory implies an integral representation for stationary-state wave functions in terms of angle-action variables (). It is a particular s…
