Direct charged-particle measurements with stable beams
A number of examples for direct measurements in nuclear astrophysics are given in order to address several important issues. First, recent results for the 16O(p,γ)17F reaction are discussed and it is shown how an improvement in reaction rate precision allows for significantly improved astrophysical predictions in connection with massive AGB stars. Second, we discuss improved experimental techni...
متن کاملGround State Energy of Fractionally Charged Quasiparticles
Considering two dimensional (2-D) electron gas as one component plasma (OCP), for the state at the Landau level filling factor 1/3, Laughlin has found a many body wave function with a lower energy than the single particle energy. We plot the ground state energy of this wave function versus different m (angular momentum) by using the modified hypernetted chain technique. Comparing the plot with ...
متن کاملMultiple scattering of fractionally charged quasiparticles.
We employ shot noise measurements to characterize the effective charge of quasiparticles, at filling factor nu=1/3 of the fractional quantum Hall regime, as they scatter from an array of identical weak backscatterers. Upon scattering, quasiparticles are known to bunch, e.g., only three e/3 charges, or "electrons" are found to traverse a rather opaque potential barrier. We find here that the eff...
متن کاملScattering of bunched fractionally charged quasiparticles.
We report the unexpected bunching of Laughlin's quasiparticles, induced by an extremely weak backscattering potential at exceptionally low electron temperatures (T<10 mK), deduced from shot noise measurements. Backscattered charges q=nue, specifically, q=e/3, q=2e/5, and q<3e/7, in the respective filling factors, were measured. For the same settings but at a slightly higher electron temperature...
متن کاملLocalization of fractionally charged quasi-particles.
An outstanding question pertaining to the microscopic properties of the fractional quantum Hall effect is understanding the nature of the particles that participate in the localization but that do not contribute to electronic transport. By using a scanning single electron transistor, we imaged the individual localized states in the fractional quantum Hall regime and determined the charge of the...
