On quantum spreading of a localized stationary flow of high energy particles

The study addresses the quantum spreading of a localized stationary flow of high energy particles. Results demonstrate that as particle energy increases, the spreading speed of the particle wave packet diminishes rapidly. Concurrently, increasing the energies stabilizes the initially localized packet, preserving its transverse form in a vacuum over extended distances. This allows substantial simplifications when using various approximate methods to calculate the wave function in an external field.

Geometrical optics method in the theory of channeling of high energy particles in crystals

The process of scattering of fast charged particles in thin crystals is considered in the transitional range of thicknesses, between those at which the channeling phenomenon is not developed and those at which it is realized. The possibility is shown of application of the methods of geometrical optics for description of the scattering process. The dependence is studied of the total scattering cross-section of ultrarelativistic positrons on target thickness in this range of crystal thicknesses. In the case of ultrarelativistic particles channeling the possibility is shown of the existence of an effect analogical to the Ramsauer-Townsend effect of conversion into zero of the total scattering cross-section at some values of crystal thickness. The important role is outlined of the Morse-Maslov index that enters into the wave function expression in the geometrical optics method.

Scattering of ultrarelativistic electrons in ultrathin crystals

Quantum theory is proposed of high energy electrons scattering in ultrathin crystals. This theory is based upon a special representation of the scattering amplitude in the form of the integral over the surface surrounding the crystal, and on the spectral method of determination of the wave function. The comparison is performed of quantum and classical differential scattering cross-sections in the transitional range of crystal thicknesses, from those at which the channeling phenomenon is not developed up to those at which it is realized. It is shown that in this thickness range the quantum scattering cross-section, unlike the classical one, contains sharp peaks corresponding to some specific scattering angles, that is connected with the diffraction of the incident plane wave onto the periodically distributed crystal atomic strings. It is shown that the value of the scattering cross-section in the peaks varies periodically with the change of the target thickness. We note that this must lead to a new interference effect in radiation that is connected with the rearrangement of incident wave packet in transitional area of crystal thicknesses.

The self-consistent field model for Fermi systems with account of three-body interactions

On the basis of a microscopic model of self-consistent field, the thermodynamics of the many-particle Fermi system at finite temperatures with account of three-body interactions is built and the quasiparticle equations of motion are obtained. It is shown that the delta-like three-body interaction gives no contribution into the self-consistent field, and the description of three-body forces requires their nonlocality to be taken into account. The spatially uniform system is considered in detail, and on the basis of the developed microscopic approach general formulas are derived for the fermion's effective mass and the system's equation of state with account of contribution from three-body forces. The effective mass and pressure are numerically calculated for the potential of "semi-transparent sphere" type at zero temperature. Expansions of the effective mass and pressure in powers of density are obtained. It is shown that, with account of only pair forces, the interaction of repulsive character reduces the quasiparticle effective mass relative to the mass of a free particle, and the attractive interaction raises the effective mass. The question of thermodynamic stability of the Fermi system is considered and the three-body repulsive interaction is shown to extend the region of stability of the system with the interparticle pair attraction. The quasiparticle energy spectrum is calculated with account of three-body forces.
