Attractive Casimir Forces in a Closed Geometry
M. P. Hertzberg, R. L. Jaffe, M. Kardar +1
We study the Casimir force acting on a conducting piston with arbitrary cross section. We find the exact solution for a rectangular cross section and the first three terms in the a…
Color Non-Singlet Spectroscopy
R. Jaffe
Study of the spectrum and structure of color non-singlet combinations of quarks and antiquarks, neutralized by a non-dynamical compensating color source, may provide an interesting…
The Casimir Effect and the Quantum Vacuum
R. L. Jaffe
In discussions of the cosmological constant, the Casimir effect is often invoked as decisive evidence that the zero point energies of quantum fields are "real''. On the contrary, C…
Casimir buoyancy
R. L. Jaffe, A. Scardicchio
We study the Casimir force on a single surface immersed in an inhomogeneous medium. Specifically we study the vacuum fluctuations of a scalar field with a spatially varying squared…
