The three-photon vertex

Owing to weak interactions, the three-photon vertex is non-zero. From gauge invariance and symmetry requirements, it is shown that the C=-1P=-1 vertex amplitudes are at least of order q7 in the limit of soft photon momentum q and that if any two photons are placed on mass shell the form factors vanish identically. To lowest order in q the effective current is in fact given by jrho =b epsilon kappa lambda mu nu ( delta 2(Fkappa lambda delta rho Fmu nu )- delta rho (Fkappa lambda delta 2Fmu nu )). b is estimated in certain models of weak interactions.

Description, Performance, and Wavelengths of Iodine Stabilized Lasers

A description is given of lasers stabilized to components of the (129)I(2) spectrum in the region of the 633-nm laser lines for (3)He-(20)Ne and (3)He-(22)Ne. Relationships between operational characteristics such as power output, peak size, and peak width are shown, along with their relationships to some of the controllable parameters such as excitation level, iodine absorption, and iodine pressure. We found an iodine pressure broadening of about 13 MHz/Torr with a 2.6-MHz zero-pressure intercept. The frequency shift associated with iodine pressure is roughly 2 x 10(-9) nu/Torr to the red. Power broadening and power shifts are small, about a 10% increase in width and about 2 x 10(-11) nu variation in frequency for a fivefold to sixfold increase in power. These lasers exhibit a frequency stability for 10-sec sampling time of about 2 x 10(-12) nu and a resetability of about 1 x 10(-10) nu. The absolute vacuum wavelength for one iodine component has been measured against the (86)Kr standard-(3)He-(20)Ne:(129)I(2), kappa lambda = 632 991.2670 +/- 0.0009 pm. The wavelengths of several other iodine components have been determined by measuring the frequency difference between them and the (129)I(2), kappa component. Among these are (3)He-(20)Ne:(129)I(2), i lambda = 632 990.0742 +/- 0.0009 pm: and (3)He-(20)Ne:(127)I(2), i lambda = 632 991.3954 +/-0.0009 pm. These results were obtained using the Rowley-Hamon model for asymmetry in the krypton line and assume that the defined value for the standard is axssociated with the center of gravity of the line profile. The indicated uncertainties are statistical. No allowance has been included for imperfect realization of the krypton standard or for uncertainty in the asymmetry model.

The Asklepian Myths Revalued

The Asklepian myths are often used currently in the initiation rites of USA Greek-letter medical fraternities. These brotherhoods in the healing arts have chapters at medical schools, and their members are pledged to support the ancient ethical standards of the Hippocratic oath. Medical fraternity rituals sometimes include appearances of Asklepios as the son of the wounding and healing Apollo, born at the death of his mother Koronis. These groups derive from the Kappa Lambda Society of Aesculapius, organized by Samuel Brown (1769-1830) in 1819 at Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky. The purpose of its founding was to improve standards of medical education and practice, which had slumped badly during the rapid frontier growth of the United States, even in the midst of its Jeffersonian-inspired Greek revival. When Kappa Lambda succumbed to political intrigue in 1835, its program became, in 1846, the basis for founding the American Medical Association. While modern
