Radiation transport in diffractive media
We consider radiation transport theory applied to non-dispersive but refractive media. This setting is used to discuss Minkowski’s and Abraham’s electromagnetic momentum, and to derive conservation equations independent of the choice of momentum definition. Using general relativistic kinetic theory, we derive and discuss a radiation gas energy-momentum conservation equation valid in arbitrary c...
متن کاملGluon Radiation in Diffractive Electroproduction
Order αs-corrections to the diffractive structure functions F D L and F D 2 at large Q 2 and small x are evaluated in the semiclassical approach, where the initial proton is treated as a classical colour field. The diffractive final state contains a fast gluon in addition to a quark-antiquark pair. Two of these partons may have large transverse momentum. Our calculations lead to an intuitive pi...
متن کاملTransition Radiation in Quantum Regime as a Diffractive Phenomenon
We demonstrate that the transition photon radiation and pair creation can be interpreted as a diffractive phenomenon in terms of the light-cone wave functions in a way similar to the Good-Walker approach [6] to the diffraction dissociation. Our results agree with those obtained by Baier and Katkov [5] within the quasiclassical operator method, and disagree with the analysis of Garibyan [4]. 1. ...
متن کاملTransition Radiation in the Quantum Regime as a Diffractive Phenomenon
We demonstrate that the transition photon radiation and pair creation can be interpreted as a diffractive phenomenon in terms of the light-cone wave functions in a way similar to the Good-Walker approach [6] to the diffraction dissociation. Our formulas for spectra agree with those obtained by Baier and Katkov [5] within the quasiclassical operator method. However, there is some disagreement wi...
متن کاملNegative radiation pressure on gain medium structures.
We demonstrate negative radiation pressure on gain medium structures, such that light amplification may cause a nanoscale body to be pulled toward a light source. Optically large gain medium structures, such as slabs and spheres, as well as deep subwavelength bodies, may experience this phenomenon. The threshold gain for radiation pressure reversal is obtained analytically for Rayleigh spheres,...
