We present the first results of a study of the radial dependence of the Herschbach effect. The effect displays distinctive short-range behaviour, evidently due to a contact interaction, and also reveals mid- and long-range behaviours. Cosmological implications of the long-range Herschbach effect are explored.

The collisional magnetic reorientation rate constant gR is measured for magnetically trapped atomic dysprosium (Dy), an atom with large magnetic dipole moments. Using buffer gas cooling with cold helium, large numbers (>1011) of Dy are loaded into a magnetic trap and the buffer gas is subsequently removed. The decay of the trapped sample is governed by collisional reorientation of the atomic magnetic moments. We find gR=1.9±0.5×10-11 cm3 s-1 at 390 mK. We also measure the magnetic reorientation rate constant of holmium (Ho), another highly magnetic atom, and find gR=5±2×10-12 cm3 s-1 at 690 mK. The Zeeman relaxation rates of these atoms are greater than expected for the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction, suggesting that another mechanism, such as an anisotropic electrostatic interaction, is responsible. Comparison with estimated elastic collision rates suggests that Dy is a poor candidate for evaporative cooling in a magnetic trap.

... Albert Einstein publicou três trabalhos revolucionários no ano de 1905, um trabalho sobre o Movimento Browniano, outro sobre a Relatividade e um terceiro sobre o Efeito Fotoelétrico, no qual propôs uma hipótese da quantização da radiação eletromagnética pela qual, em certos processos, a luz comporta-se como pacotes concentrados de energia, chamados fótons (KLEPPNER, 2005). ...

... Due to the limited time frame in which a missile is in boost phaseabout three minutes for a solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) -SBIs face a simple, but significant technical challenge: being in the right place at the right time (Barton 2004). Due to this constraint, kinetic hit-to-kill SBIs must be placed in low Earth orbit, since higher altitudes would leave the interceptors too far away to reach a missile while it is still in boost phase. ...

... Understanding the psychological mechanism underpinning the pro-vaccination and anti-vaccination groups' behaviors is essential to explaining their actions. Science is the backbone of modern society's medical and technological achievements; nonetheless, many people have lost faith in science, and a powerful anti-scientific counterculture has formed (Holton, 1993;Lu & Sun, 2022). ...

... Pour mieux faire, il serait souhaitable soit de peupler optiquement le niveau métastable soit d'étudier une transition provenant de l'état fondamental (plus d'atomes). Dans le premier cas, il y a déjà une expérience en cours au MIT où des atomes d'hydrogène confinés dans un piège magnétique sont excités dans l'état 2S via deux photons à 243 nm [34]. Pour mieux contrôler les effets systématiques, il serait utile d'étudier plusieurs transitions du type 2S-nS. ...

... Summing over all trajectories gives a smooth result which diverges at extrema of P f (x i ). The "primitive" semiclassical wave function in momentum space is obtained via the same method as in [62], and is similar to the methods in [69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79]. For each p f at the final time t f , we sum semiclassical terms ...

... This generalization is possible because of the well-known fact that quantum systems mathematically have a classical Hamiltonian structure [7,8]. A recent development in the field of ultracold atoms is to use Feshbach resonances [9] or a stimulated optical Raman transition [10,11] to convert two atoms into a molecule. This kind of atom-molecule systems can be well described by a mean-field theory and can become nonlinear systems when both the atoms and the molecules are bosons and the number of particles in this system is large. ...
