A new model describing improved bound-state and statistical properties in the framework of deformed Schrödinger equation for the improved Coshine Yukawa potential in 3D-NR(NCPS) symmetries

In this paper, within the three-dimensional non-relativistic non-commutative phase–space (3D-NR(NCPS)) symmetries, we examined the 3D deformed Schrödinger equation (3D-DSE) using the improved Coshine Yukawa potential (ICYP) model composed from Coshine Yukawa potential (CYP) ([Formula: see text]) and other terms produced from the effect of phase–space deformation ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]). For this study, the 3D-DSE in the 3D-NR(NCPS) symmetry is solved and discussed with standard independent time perturbation theory and the generalized Bopp’s shifts method. For the homogeneous (H2 and N2) and heterogeneous (LiH, ScH, and HCL) diatomic molecules, it is obtained that the improved non-relativistic energy equation and eigenfunction for the ICYP in the presence of deformation phase–space are dependent on the discrete atomic quantum numbers ([Formula: see text],m), the dissociation energy [Formula: see text], the equilibrium bond length the screening parameter [Formula: see text], the deformation phase parameters ([Formula: see text]) and the deformation space parameters ([Formula: see text]). Additionally, the thermal properties of the CYP and ICYP with 3D Schrödinger equation (3D-SE) and 3D-DSE are thoroughly examined in the three-dimensional non-relativistic quantum mechanics (3D-NR(QM)) known in the literature symmetry and 3D-NR(NCPS) symmetries, including the partition function, mean energy, free energy, specific heat, and entropy. Furthermore, we discussed particular cases of thermodynamic characteristics for the ICYP model. In our study, we have shown that all the physical values related to energy and thermodynamic properties within the framework of the 3D(NR)NCPS symmetry are equal to the corresponding values within the framework of 3D-NR(QM) symmetry known in the literature, in addition to minor effects resulting from their interaction with the topological properties of the deformed phase–space. This study has multiple applications in various domains, including atomic and molecular physics.

Investigation of the Cosmic evolution in the presence of non-relativistic neutrinos

The neutrinos of the early universe evolved from a relativistic phase at very early times to a massive particle behavior at later times. First, the kinetic energy of neutrinos is relativistic, and as a result, neutrinos can be described as massless particles. As the Universe expands, the temperature drops and the kinetic energy decreases, and the neutrinos turn into a non-relativistic phase with a non-negligible mass. In this paper, we first put constraints on the total mass of neutrinos. Then we investigate the effect of neutrinos on the CMB power spectrum, P(k), in the case of massless and massive neutrinos using the publicly available Boltzmann code CAMB and we prove that when neutrino coupled to scalar field the CMB power spectrum has a little shift, which means that the power spectrum of CMB is greatly affected by the background energy density and the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of perturbed quintessence on this spectrum and find that the highest peaks of this spectrum are shifted to smaller scales. Also, we estimate the Deceleration–Acceleration(DA) redshift transition (z da) using the coupling canonical scalar field with neutrinos. For Pantheon data we obtain z da = 0.7 ± 0.05 and for CC data z da = 0.68 ± 0.03. In the presence of neutrinos the DA redshift transition is z da = 0.42 ± 0.03 for Pantheon data and z da = 0.49 ± 0.05 for CC data. These results indicate that neutrinos can affect this phase transition. The results obtained in this article show that when the mass of neutrinos increases, the value of the background energy density increases, resulting in a higher power spectrum peak. Also, by examining the effect of coupling neutrinos to dark energy, we find that the transition occurs at lower redshift.

Modeling a Nb3Sn cryounit in GPT at UITF

Nb3Sn is a prospective material for future superconducting radio frequency (SRF) accelerator cavities. Compared to conventional niobium, the material can achieve higher quality factors, higher temperature operation, and potentially higher accelerating gradients (Eacc ≈ 96 MV/m). In this work, we performed modeling of the Upgraded Injector Test Facility (UITF) at Jefferson Lab utilizing newly constructed Nb3Sn cavities. We studied the effects of the buncher cavity and varied the gun voltage from 200-500 keV. We have calibrated and optimized the SRF cavity gradients and phases for the Nb3Sn five-cell cavities’ energy gains with the framework of the General Particle Tracer (GPT). Our calculations show the beam goes cleanly through the unit. There is full energy gain out of the second SRF cavity but not from the first SRF cavity due to non-relativistic phase shifts.

A New Model to Describe Quarkonium Systems under Modified Cornell Potential at Finite Temperature in pNRQCD

In the present work, the three-dimensional modified radial Schrödinger equation is analytically solved. The nonrelativistic interactions under new modified Cornell potential (NMCP, in short) at finite temperature, are extended to the symmetries of nonrelativistic noncommutative space phase (NRNSP, in short), using the generalized Bopp’s shift method in the case of perturbed nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (pNRQCD). W generalize this process by adding multi-variable coupling potentials , and together with the modified Cornell potential model in three-dimensional nonrelativistic quantum mechanics noncommutative phase space (3D-NCSP, in short). The new energy eigenvalues and the corresponding Hamiltonian operator are calculated in 3D-NCSP symmetries instead of solving the modified Schrödinger equation with the Weyl Moyal star product. The present results, in (3D-NCSP), are applied to the charmonium and bottomonium masses at finite temperature. The present approach successfully generalizes the energy eigenvalues at finite temperature in 3D-NCSP symmetries. It is found that the perturbative solutions of the discrete spectrum and quarkonium mass can be expressed by the Gamma function, the discreet atomic quantum numbers of the state and the potential parameters ( ), in addition to noncommutativity parameters ( and ). The total complete degeneracy of new energy levels of NMCP changed to become equals to the value instead the values in ordinary quantum mechanics. Our obtained results are in good agreement with the already existing literature in NCSP.

Beyond Conventional Ferromagnetism and Antiferromagnetism: A Phase with Nonrelativistic Spin and Crystal Rotation Symmetry

The search for novel magnetic quantum phases, phenomena and functional materials has been guided by relativistic magnetic-symmetry groups in coupled spin and real space from the dawn of the field in 1950s to the modern era of topological matter. However, the magnetic groups cannot disentangle non-relativistic phases and effects, such as the recently reported unconventional spin physics in collinear antiferromagnets from the typically weak relativistic spin-orbit coupling phenomena. Here we discover that more general spin symmetries in decoupled spin and crystal space categorize non-relativistic collinear magnetism in three phases: conventional ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, and a third distinct phase combining zero net magnetization with an alternating spin-momentum locking in energy bands, which we dub "altermagnetic". For this third basic magnetic phase, which is omitted by the relativistic magnetic groups, we develop a spin-group theory describing six characteristic types of the altermagnetic spin-momentum locking. We demonstrate an extraordinary spin-splitting mechanism in altermagnetic bands originating from a local electric crystal field, which contrasts with the conventional magnetic or relativistic splitting by global magnetization or inversion asymmetry. Based on first-principles calculations, we identify altermagnetic candidates ranging from insulators and metals to a parent crystal of cuprate superconductor. Our results underpin emerging research of quantum phases and spintronics in high-temperature magnets with light elements, vanishing net magnetization, and strong spin-coherence.

The Impact of deformed space-phase parameters into HAs and HLM systems with the improved Hulthen plus Hellmann potentials model in the presence of temperature-dependent confined Coulomb potential within the framework of DSE

In this work, the improved Hulthen plus Hellmann potentials model in the presence of temperature-dependent confined Coulomb potential ´ IHHPTd model is adopted as the quark-antiquark interaction potential for studying the mass spectra of heavy mesons in the three-dimensional nonrelativistic quantum mechanics noncommutative phase space (3DNRQm-NCSP) symmetries. In addition, we found another application for this potential through its description for hydrogen atoms He+, Li+2 and Be+. We solved the deformed Schrödinger equation analytically using the generalized Bopp’s shift method and standard perturbation theory. The new energy eigenvalues E (u,d)hy nc−n and (E hlm n−g, E hlm n−mand E hlm n−l ) for hydrogen atoms and heavy mesons such as charmonium cc and bottomonium cb and corresponding deformed Hamiltonian operators H nc hhp(r, Θ, θ, λ, λ, σ, σ, ²) and H nc hhp(r, Θ, θ, λ, λ, σ, σ, gs) were obtained, respectively. The present results are applied for calculating the new mass of heavy mesons. Four special cases were considered when some of the improved potential parameters were set to zero, resulting into improved Hellmann potential, improved Yukawa potential, improved Coulomb potential, and improved Hulthen potential, in ´ (3DNRQm-NCSP) symmetries. The limiting cases are analyzed for Θ, σ and χ −→ 0 are compared with those of literature.

A dynamical evolution of GRB-afterglows in a new generic model

In this paper, a new model using a general expression of the radiation energy and explaining the dynamics of the afterglows is proposed. It is shown that this model is suitable for the ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic phases as well as the study of radiative and adiabatic fireballs.

Multi-messenger astrophysics with the cosmic neutrino background

The massive neutrinos of the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CνB) are fundamental ingredients of the radiation-dominated early universe and are important non-relativistic probes of the large-scale structure formation in the late universe. The dominant source of anisotropies in the neutrino flux distribution on the sky are highly amplified integrals of metric perturbations encountered during the non-relativistic phase of the CνB. This paper numerically compares the line-of-sight methods for computing CνB anisotropies with the Einstein-Boltzmann hierarchy solutions in linear theory for a range of neutrino masses. Angular power spectra are computed that are relevant to a future polarized tritium target run of the PTOLEMY experiment. Correlations between the CνB sky maps and galactic survey data are derived using line-of-sight techniques and discussed in the context of multi-messenger astrophysics.

A New Approach to the Approximate Analytic Solution of the Three-Dimensional Schrӧdinger Equation for Hydrogenic and Neutral Atoms in the Generalized Hellmann Potential Model

Within the framework of nonrelativistic noncommutative quantum mechanics using the improved approximation scheme to the centrifugal term for any l-states via the generalized Bopp’s shift method and standard perturbation theory, we have obtained the energy eigenvalues of a newly proposed generalized Hellmann potential model (the GHP model) for the hydrogenic atoms and neutral atoms. The potential is a superposition of the attractive Coulomb potential plus Yukawa one, and new central terms appear as a result of the effects of noncommutativity properties of space and phase in the Hellmann potential model. The obtained energy eigen-values appear as a function of the generalized gamma function, the discrete atomic quantum numbers (j, n, l, s and m), infinitesimal parameters (a, b, б) which are induced by the position-position and phase-phase noncommutativity, and, the dimensional parameters (Θ, 0) of the GHP model, in the nonrelativistic noncommutative three-dimensional real space phase (NC: 3D-RSP). Furthermore, we have shown that the corresponding Hamiltonian operator with (NC: 3D-RSP) symmetries is the sum of the Hamiltonian operator of the Hellmann potential model and two operators, the first one is the modified spin-orbit interaction, while the second is the modified Zeeman operator for the hydrogenic and neutral atoms.

Gamow-Teller excitations at finite temperature: Competition between pairing and temperature effects

The relativistic and nonrelativistic finite temperature proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation (FT-PNQRPA) methods are developed to study the interplay of the pairing and temperature effects on the Gamow-Teller excitations in open-shell nuclei, as well as to explore the model dependence of the results by using two rather different frameworks for effective nuclear interactions. The Skyrme-type functional SkM* is employed in the nonrelativistic framework, while the density-dependent meson-exchange interaction DD-ME2 is implemented in the relativistic approach. Both the isoscalar and isovector pairing interactions are taken into account within the FT-PNQRPA. Model calculations show that below the critical temperatures the Gamow-Teller excitations display a sensitivity to both the finite temperature and pairing effects, and this demonstrates the necessity for implementing both in the theoretical framework. The established FT-PNQRPA opens perspectives for the future complete and consistent description of astrophysically relevant weak interaction processes in nuclei at finite temperature such as $\beta$-decays, electron capture, and neutrino-nucleus reactions.

Heavy-particle resonance phase shifts: an improved amplitude\u2013phase formula

An improved amplitude–phase formula suitable for non-relativistic heavy-particle resonance phase shifts is derived. The present formula makes use of two amplitude functions instead of one for a central potential; an inner amplitude which is non-oscillatory in the well region of the effective potential, and an outer amplitude function which is non-oscillatory far away from the origin of the effective potential. The low-energy limit is discussed in connection with Levinson’s theorem. Numerical computations at resonance energies and graphical illustrations are presented. Numerical comparisons with an existing single-amplitude formula are made.

Non-Relativistic Phase Shifts for Scattering on Generalized Radial Yukawa Potentials

Non-relativistic phase shifts for a generalized Yukawa potential V(r) = − V0(e−αr/r) − V1(e−2αr/r2) are studied by the amplitude-phase method and by a frequently used analytic method based on a Pekeris-type approximation of power-law potential terms. Small variations of V1 seem to have marginal effects on the effective potential and on exact phase shifts. However, as pointed out in this study, a Pekeris-type approximation in scattering applications often implies serious distortions of both effective potentials and phase shifts. The Pekeris-type based analytic approximation in this study seems to give low-quality scattering results for this model potential at low energies.

Motion of a Nonrelativistic Quantum Particle in Non-commutative Phase Space

The equation governing the motion of a quantum particle is considered in nonrelativistic non-commutative phase space. For this aim, we first study new Poisson brackets in non-commutative phase space and obtain the modified equations of motion. Next, using novel transformations, we solve the equation of motion and report the exact analytical solutions.

Elementary particles, the concept of mass, and emergent spacetime

It is argued that the problem of space quantization should be considered in close connection with the problem of mass quantization. First, the nonlocality of quantum physics suggests that if spacetime emerges from the underlying quantum layer, this emergence should occur simultaneously at all distance and momentum scales, and not just at the Planck scale. Second, the spectrum of elementary particles provides us with a lot of important information, experimentally inaccessible at the Planck scale, that could be crucial in unravelling the mechanism of emergence. Accordingly, we start with a brief review of some fundamental issues appearing both in the spectroscopy of excited baryons and in connection with the concept of quark mass. It is pointed out that experiment suggests the inadequacy of the description of baryonic interior in terms of ordinary spacetime background. Thus, it is argued that one should be able to learn about the emergence of space from the studies of the quark/hadron transition. The problem of mass is then discussed from the point of view of nonrelativistic phase space and its Clifford algebra, which proved promising in the past. Connection with the Harari-Shupe explanation of the pattern of a single Standard Model generation is briefly reviewed and a proposal for the reintroduction of relativistic covariance into the phase-space scheme is presented.

From Clifford Algebra of Nonrelativistic Phase Space to Quarks and Leptons of the Standard Model

We review a recently proposed Clifford-algebra approach to elementary particles. We start with: (1) a philosophical background that motivates a maximally symmetric treatment of position and momentum variables, and: (2) an analysis of the minimal conceptual assumptions needed in quark mass extraction procedures. With these points in mind, a variation on Born’s reciprocity argument provides us with an unorthodox view on the problem of mass. The idea of space quantization suggests then the linearization of the nonrelativistic quadratic form {{mathbf{p}}^2 +{mathbf{x}}^2} with position and momentum satisfying standard commutation relations. This leads to the 64-dimensional Clifford algebra {{Cl}_{6,0}} of nonrelativistic phase space within which one identifies the internal quantum numbers of a single Standard Model generation of elementary particles (i.e. weak isospin, hypercharge, and color). The relevant quantum numbers are naturally linked to the symmetries of macroscopic phase space. It is shown that the obtained phase-space-based description of elementary particles gives a subquark-less explanation of the celebrated Harari–Shupe rishon model. Finally, the concept of additivity is used to form novel suggestions as to how hadrons are constructed out of quarks and how macroscopically motivated invariances may be restored at the hadron level.

Attosecond time delay in the photoionization of endohedral atomsA@C60: A probe of confinement resonances

The effects of confinement resonances on photoelectron group delay (Wigner time delay) following ionization of an atom encapsulated inside a C$_{60}$ cage have been studied theoretically using both relativistic and non-relativistic random phase approximations. The results indicate clearly the resonant character of the confinement oscillations in time delay of the $4d$ shell of Xe@C$_{60}$ and present a most direct manifestation of Wigner time delay. These oscillations were missed in a previous theoretical investigation of Ar@C$_{60}$ [PRL 111, 203003 (2013)]

Quasielastic contribution to antineutrino-nucleus scattering

We report on a calculation of cross sections for charged-current quasielastic antineutrino scattering off ${}^{12}$C in the energy range of interest for the MiniBooNE experiment. We adopt the impulse approximation (IA) and use the nonrelativistic continuum random phase approximation (CRPA) to model the nuclear dynamics. An effective nucleon-nucleon interaction of the Skyrme type is used. We compare our results with the recent MiniBooNE antineutrino cross-section data and confront them with alternate calculations. The CRPA predictions reproduce the gross features of the shape of the measured double-differential cross sections. The CRPA cross sections are typically larger than those of other reported IA calculations but tend to underestimate the magnitude of the MiniBooNE data. We observe that an enhancement of the nucleon axial mass in CRPA calculations is an effective way of improving on the description of the shape and magnitude of the double-differential cross sections. The rescaling of ${M}_{A}$ is illustrated to affect the shape of the double-differential cross sections differently than multinucleon effects beyond the IA.

Application of the J-matrix method to multichannel scattering

In this contribution we describe the multichannel extension to the nonrelativistic J-matrix method, and present differential cross sections for scattering of slow electrons from Argon atoms. Nonrelativistic phase shifts, then the S-matrix and the cross sections have been calculated using newly developed Fortran code, JMATRIX-MULTI. We applied the model Hartree-Fock potential as the scattering potential, which was truncated in the oscillatory basis functions.

Time delay in valence-shell photoionization of noble-gas atoms

We use the non-relativistic random phase approximation with exchange to perform calculations of valence shell photoionization of Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe from their respective thresholds to photon energy of 200 eV. The energy derivative of the complex phase of the photoionization matrix elements is converted to the photoelectron group delay that can be measured in attosecond streaking or two-photon transitions interference experiments. Comparison with reported time delay measurements in Ne and Ar at a few selected photon energies is made. Systematic mapping of time delay across a wide range of photon energies in several atomic targets allows to highlight important aspects of fundamental atomic physics that can be probed by attosecond time delay measurements.

From Bargmann’s Superselection Rule to Quantum Newtonian Spacetime

Bargmann's superselection rule, which forbids the existence of superpositions of states with different mass and, therefore, implies the impossibility of describing unstable particles in non-relativistic quantum mechanics, arises as a consequence of demanding Galilean covariance of Schr\"odinger's equation. However, the usual Galilean transformations inadequately describe the symmetries of non-relativistic quantum mechanics since they fail to take into account relativistic time contraction effects which can produce non-relativistic phases in the wavefunction. In this paper we describe the incompatibility between Bargmann's rule and Lorentz transformations in the low-velocities limit, we analyze its classical origin and we show that the Extended Galilei group characterizes better the symmetries of the theory. Furthermore, we claim that a proper description of non-relativistic quantum mechanics requires a modification of the notion of spacetime in the corresponding limit, which is noticeable only for quantum particles.
