Light-front Gauge Propagator Reexamined
Gauge fields are special in the sense that they are invariant under gauge transformations and " ipso facto " they lead to problems when we try quantizing them straightforwardly. To circumvent this problem we need to specify a gauge condition to fix the gauge so that the fields that are connected by gauge invariance are not overcounted in the process of quantization. The usual way we do this in ...
متن کاملRadiation-pressure acceleration of ion beams from nanofoil targets: the leaky light-sail regime.
A new ion radiation-pressure acceleration regime, the "leaky light sail," is proposed which uses sub-skin-depth nanometer foils irradiated by circularly polarized laser pulses. In the regime, the foil is partially transparent, continuously leaking electrons out along with the transmitted laser field. This feature can be exploited by a multispecies nanofoil configuration to stabilize the acceler...

متن کاملOn the Pioneer acceleration as light acceleration
As early as in 1907, Einstein showed that the light speed must be larger at spacetime points with higher gravitational potential. This idea is used here to present a relativistic version of a recent model which explains the acceleration of the Pioneer 10 spaceship as the effect of a universal adiabatic acceleration of light. This phenomenon would have the same observational signature as an acce...
متن کاملSocial health insurance reexamined.
Social health insurance (SHI) is enjoying something of a revival in parts of the developing world. Many countries that have in the past relied largely on tax finance (and out-of-pocket payments) have introduced SHI, or are thinking about doing so. And countries with SHI already in place are making vigorous efforts to extend coverage to the informal sector. Ironically, this revival is occurring ...
