Graviton Emission and Absorption by Atomic Hydrogen
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graviton absorption cross sections and emission rates for hydrogen are calculated by both semi-classical and field theoretic methods. We point out several mistakes in the literature concerning spontaneous emission of gravitons and related phenomena, some of which are due to a subtle issue concerning gauge invariance of the linearized interaction Hamiltonian. PACS: 03.65.Sq, 04.30.Db, 04.30.Nk, 04.60.-m, 95.30.Cq, 95.30.Sf

متن کاملWhere Does the Disk Turn into the Halo? Cool Hi in the Outer Milky Way Disk
Using HI absorption spectra taken from the recent surveys of λ21-cm line and continuum emission in the Galactic plane, the distribution of cool atomic clouds in the outer disk of the Milky Way is revealed. The warp of the midplane is clearly seen in absorption, as it is in emission, and the cool, neutral medium also shows flaring or increase in scale height with radius similar to that of the wa...
متن کاملCalibration of X-ray absorption in our Galaxy
Prediction of the soft X-ray absorption along lines of sight through our Galaxy is crucial for understanding the spectra of extragalactic sources, but requires a good estimate of the foreground column density of photoelectric absorbing species. Assuming uniform elemental abundances this reduces to having a good estimate of the total hydrogen column density, NHtot = NH I + 2NH2 . The atomic comp...
متن کاملMariner 6, 7, and 9 Ultraviolet Spectrometer Experiment: Analysis of hydrogen Lyman alpha data
Four Lyman a airglow measurements of the limb and disc of Mars, made by ultraviolet spectrometers on Mariner 6 and 7 in 1969 and Mariner 9 in 1971, are analyzed to determine the amount and distribution of atomic hydrogen above 80 km. The variation of atomic hydrogen with altitude is calculated by using time-independent chemical diffusion models from 80 to 250 km, and tin exospheric model is use...
متن کاملAbsorption or emission during a collision : a test case H+ 2
2014 The close coupled theory of scattering in a radiation field may be used to describe absorption or emission processes occurring during a collision. Using a semi-classical description of the collision we study the evolution of the collisional complex. The case of atomic hydrogen perturbed by protons is particularly interesting since the exact solution of the dynamical problem is known for a ...
