description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Galactic conformity is the phenomenon whereby galaxy properties exhibit excess correlations across distance than that expected if these properties only depended on halo mass. We perform a comprehensive study of conformity at low redshift using a galaxy group catalogue from the SDSS DR7 spectroscopic sample. We study correlations both between central galaxies and their satellites (1-halo), and between central galaxies in separate haloes (2-halo). We use the quenched fractions and the marked correlation function (MCF), to probe for conformity in three galaxy properties, $(g-r)$ colour, specific star formation rate (sSFR), and morphology. We assess the statistical significance of conformity signals with a suite of mock galaxy catalogues that have no built-in conformity, but contain the same group-finding and mass assignment errors as the real data. In the case of 1-halo conformity, quenched fractions show strong signals at all group masses. However, these signals are equally strong in mock catalogues, indicating that the conformity signal is spurious and likely entirely caused by group-finding systematics, calling into question previous claims of 1-halo conformity detection. The MCF reveals a significant detection of radial segregation within massive groups, but no evidence of conformity. In the case of 2-halo conformity, quenched fractions show no significant evidence of conformity in colour or sSFR once compared with mock catalogues, but a clear signal using morphology. In contrast, the MCF reveals a small, yet highly significant signal for all three properties in low mass groups and scales of $0.8-4\ h^{-1}\textrm{Mpc}$, possibly representing the first robust detection of 2-halo conformity.

title: Gender-STEM stereotypes: a cross-cultural, mixed-methods exploration of women’s STEM pathways between the UK and China
Creators: name: Liu, Jianshu
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: Women’s underrepresentation in higher education and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields remains a persistent global problem. Grounded in social psychological theories related to gender stereotypes, this cross-cultural thesis aims to understand the reasons for British and Chinese women’s underrepresentation. A review of existing empirical research highlights gaps in understanding British and Chinese women’s underrepresentation in STEM disciplines and careers identified gaps into why and how women maintain careers in these fields. Therefore, this study aimed to 1) identify British and Chinese women’s explicit and implicit gender-STEM stereotypes and the factors impacting these stereotypes; 2) explore what factors positively influenced women studying to PhD level in STEM fields; 3) investigate and interpret patterns of how Chinese Eearly career researchers (ECRs) achieve in their STEM fields. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was conducted. The first phase used a quantitative survey and lab-based Implicit Association Test to compare the explicit and implicit gender-STEM stereotypes and attitudes toward STEM fields of British and Chinese women (n = 113). Using a 2 x 2 ANOVA design, Chinese women in the cohort had higher explicit gender-STEM stereotypes than British women, and women studying in STEM fields had lower explicit attitudes on STEM subjects than women not studying in STEM fields. There were no significant main effects or interactions of nationality and STEM study on the implicit measure. However, a planned independent contrast found that Chinese women studying STEM subjects had lower implicit gender-STEM stereotypes than women not studying STEM. The second phase included qualitative focus groups with women from the UK (n= 5) and China (n= 6) studying STEM in the UK, and interviews with Chinese women working successfully in their STEM fields (n = 4) to more deeply understand why women’s persistence in higher level education and careers in STEM. Analyses uncovered factors influencing women’s attrition in STEM fields and possibilities for how women could maintain and achieve at higher level of education and careers in STEM fields. This mixed-method, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary thesis makes a significant contribution through uncovering common barriers to STEM fields, women’s cognitive dissonance regarding gender-STEM stereotypes, and cultural differences suggesting “glass ceilings” effects in the UK and the pressures from the “ground floor” from Chinese family and society. Policy and educational recommendations are provided, including the importance of embedding STEM career knowledges early, policies such as flexible working, successful female role models in STEM, and the role of social media in raising women’s career profiles and widening their networks.

description: Recently, Davids and Typel recommended a "low" value of S_{17}(0) based on fits to published direct and Coulomb dissociation data, in which they excluded the precise result of Junghans et al. We show that their statistical analysis is incorrect, due to a substantial underestimate of the experimental uncertainties, and leads to conclusions that are not supported by a proper analysis.

Identifying the Reionization Redshift from the Cosmic Star Formation Rate

description: We show that the cosmic star formation rate per comoving volume should exhibit a distinct drop around the reionization redshift, when the HII regions in the intergalactic medium around individual ionizing sources first overlapped. The drop results from the increase in the temperature of the intergalactic medium as it was photo-ionized, and the consequent suppression of the formation of low-mass galaxies. We show quantitatively that the detection of this drop, which is marked by a corresponding fall in the number counts of faint galaxies, should become feasible over the coming decade with the Next Generation Space Telescope.

description: A novel approach to quantization is shown to allow for superpositions of the cosmological constant in isotropic and homogeneous mini-superspace models. Generic solutions featuring such superpositions display unitary evolution and resolution of the classical singularity. Physically well-motivated cosmological solutions are constructed. These particular solutions exhibit characteristic features of a cosmic bounce including universal phenomenology that can be rendered insensitive to Planck-scale physics in a natural manner.

description: The aim of this study is to develop the concept, size, and analyse the performance of a proposed standalone solar power-driven system for pumping groundwater at remote communities of the Egyptian oases to be used in irrigation, and pasteurizing a fraction of pumped water for domestic use (domestic hot water as well as cold water). A transient model is built on TRNSYS® for simulating the key variables of the pasteurizer throughout the year with predetermined loads. El-Kharga oasis, located in the Egyptian part of the Sahara Desert, has been considered as a case study. Glazed flat plate collectors and poly-crystalline PV’s has been optimized to a tilt angle of 27 degrees (oriented due South) and a feedwater heat exchanger has been used to warm up the feedwater while cooling half of the pasteurized water. The results provided here are based on a community of 40 single-family houses; each family of 5 persons. A preliminary cost analysis showed that the proposed system is more efficient than a traditional electricity-driven system.

description: It is shown that if a learning system is able to provide some estimate of the reliability of the generalizations it produces, then the rate of learning can be considerably increased. The increase is achieved by a decision-theoretic estimate of the value of trying alternative experimental actions. A further consequence of this kind of learning is that experience becomes concentrated in regions of the control space which are relevant to the task at hand. Such a restriction of experience is essential for continuous multivariate control tasks because the entire state space of such tasks could not possibly be learned in a practical amount of time

description: [transcription] A Nîmes, le 9 novembre 1782.

Je passai hier toute la journée dans mon lit à cause de mes incommodités. Je prends la plume aujourd'hui pour vous répondre.

La Tariffe du presage universel des Provinces de la France par Sébastien Jacquy en 1583 est très difficile à trouver. Je ne l'ai vue que très rarement, mais il y en a une édition in folio de 1619 Nîmes, Vaguenard, réduite et compilée par Claude Combes qui comprend d'abord le département des deniers du roi imposés sur les généralités du royaume de France. Après la tariffe des 22 diocèses de Languedoc, ensuite les vigueries de Nîmes, d'Allez [Alès], Beaucaire, Sommières, Anduze, le Vigan, Sauve, Eymargues [Aimargues] et Marsillargues. Voyez ci-après *.

Le libraire Gaude qui à l'Histoire de Ménard m'a fait la réponse suivante. Je mets dans cette lettre. Il me paraît cher d'autant plus qu'il y a environ deux [ans] qu'un libraire de Paris qui en avait acquis un assez grand nombre en fit le rabais à dix ou douze écus et à 7 lt. 10 s. le 7e volume séparé. Il est vrai que le tout était en feuilles.

* je possède une édition de 1619 de la tariffe que je vous prêterai volontiers en cherchant cependant partout pour en trouver un exempleire à vendre.

Lorsqu'on m'aura répondu d'Aubais au sujet des trois volumes dont l'un contient le Journal de Saint-Louis et que j'en saurai le prix qu'on y a mis, je vous en écrirai.

[fol. 111 v] Voilà tout ce que l'état ou je me trouve m'a permis de vous écrire succinctement. J'entrerais dans un plus grand détail une autre fois, n'ayant rien tant à coeur que vous être utile et de vous témoigner mon attachement. J'ai l'honneur d'être très sincèrement,

description: The focus of this review is on the study of aberrant metabolism in brain cells in Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the aggregation of the pathological protein α-synuclein, loss of dopaminergic neurons in the compact part of the substantia nigra, leading to a combination of motor and non-motor symptoms. While the hallmark motor symptoms of PD are well-documented, emerging research sheds light on intricate metabolic changes occurring at the cellular level, providing new insights into the pathophysiology of the disease. Studying the role of endogenous small molecules in protein-metabolite intermolecular interactions, conformational rearrangements of protein molecules, especially membrane receptors and transporters in regulating blood-brain barrier permeability, modulation of signaling transduction processes in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, remains pertinent.

description: Incremental learning (IL) has received a lot of attention recently, however, the literature lacks a precise problem definition, proper evaluation settings, and metrics tailored specifically for the IL problem. One of the main objectives of this work is to fill these gaps so as to provide a common ground for better understanding of IL. The main challenge for an IL algorithm is to update the classifier whilst preserving existing knowledge. We observe that, in addition to forgetting, a known issue while preserving knowledge, IL also suffers from a problem we call intransigence, inability of a model to update its knowledge. We introduce two metrics to quantify forgetting and intransigence that allow us to understand, analyse, and gain better insights into the behaviour of IL algorithms. We present RWalk, a generalization of EWC++ (our efficient version of EWC [Kirkpatrick2016EWC]) and Path Integral [Zenke2017Continual] with a theoretically grounded KL-divergence based perspective. We provide a thorough analysis of various IL algorithms on MNIST and CIFAR-100 datasets. In these experiments, RWalk obtains superior results in terms of accuracy, and also provides a better trade-off between forgetting and intransigence.

description: Directed motion up a concentration gradient is crucial for the survival and maintenance of numerous biological systems, such as sperms moving towards an egg during fertilization or ciliates moving towards a food source. In these systems, chirality - manifested as a rotational torque - plays a vital role in facilitating directed motion. While systematic studies of active molecules in activity gradients exist, the effect of chirality remains little studied. In this study, we examine the simplest case of a chiral active particle connected to a passive particle in a spatially varying activity field. We demonstrate that this minimal setup can exhibit rich emergent tactic behaviors, with the chiral torque serving as the tuning parameter. Notably, when the chiral torque is sufficiently large, even a small passive particle enables the system to display the desired accumulation behavior. Our results further show that in the dilute limit, this desired accumulation behavior persists despite the presence of excluded volume effects. Additionally, interconnected chiral active particles exhibit emergent chemotaxis beyond a critical chain length, with trimers and longer chains exhibiting strong accumulation at sufficiently high chiral torques. This study provides valuable insights into the design principles of hybrid bio-molecular devices of the future.

description: This study was designed to assess the harmful impact of Duprost on the testes of experimental animals. The animals were divided into 3 categories: control, acute, and chronic; the last two were further divided into subgroups. All acute subgroups were given a lonely oral dosage of 0.5, 0.12, 0.08, and 0.04 mg/kg for 24 hours. The chronic subgroups were given a daily dosage of 0.12, 0.08, 0.04 mg/kg for 42 days. The sections of treated testes of acute and chronic sets showed pathological alterations mainly in dosages (0.12 mg/kg and 0.08 mg/kg). The higher dosages cause cellular depletion, necrosis and lysis of the testicular interstitium, hyperplasia and increased thickness of the interstitium. Moreover, there was marked hypertrophy, marked tubular dilation and deterioration with severe degeneration and ne-crosis of lining epithelium with a loss of stereocilia in epididymis tissue.

description: We investigate the theoretical uncertainties of $P$-wave charmonium decays into two pions, $χ_{\c J}\rightarrow π^+π^-$, $π^0π^0$. Constraining the pion distribution-amplitude from the recent precise data on $F_{πγ}(Q^2)$, we find an order-of-magnitude discrepancy between data and prediction. The disagreement persists even after inclusion of transverse degrees of freedom and Sudakov suppressions. We propose the colour-octet mechanism as the solution to the puzzle. The colour-octet decay contribution arising from the higher Fock component $|\c \cbar \g >$ of the $χ_{\c J}$ wave function is actually not power suppressed with respect to the usual colour-singlet decay arising from the dominant $|\c \cbar >$ Fock state. An explicit calculation yields an agreement with the data for a very reasonable value for the single extra non-perturbative parameter.

description: Obesity is recognized as a multifactorial health condition characterized by excess body fat accumulation. Orlistat is a well-known effective anti-obesity therapeutic drug, however, like many other medications on the market, it has certain unpleasant side effects. Medical herbs have recently acquired popularity in the treatment of obesity. The current project's intention was to evaluate the effect of treatment with Artemisia annua extract (AAE) to ameliorate hepato-renal dysfunction in obese rats. 40 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 10). The 1st group (Gp1) served as a negative control, and Gp2 was used as a positive control and given a high-fat diet (HFD) for a period of 12 weeks. For a period of 8 weeks, Gp3 and Gp4 received HFD and daily treatments of orlistat (30 mg/kg) or AAE (150 mg/kg), respectively. Hematological, biochemical, and histopathological parameters were determined. The results demonstrated that obese rats, Gp2, had hepato-renal impairment. Moreover, hepato-renal dysfunctions were exacerbated when orlistat was administered to obese rats of Gp3. In contrast, AAE-treated obese rats, Gp4, have shown alleviated hematological changes and resulted in considerable improvements in hepato-renal function. Taken together, AAE administration demonstrated potential ameliorative effects against hepato-renal dysfunctions in obese rats when compared to treatment with orlistat.

description: To compare healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), costs, and treatment adherence and persistence for patients with bipolar disorder treated with lurasidone or cariprazine. Adult patients with bipolar disorder who initiated lurasidone or cariprazine as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy between 1/1/2016 and 6/30/2019 were identified from the IBM MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental Database. The date of the first claim for lurasidone or cariprazine was defined as the index date. A difference-in-difference (DID) analysis, which mitigated bias by using each cohort as its own control, compared the changes in HCRU and costs from 6-months pre-treatment (baseline) to 6-months post-treatment (follow-up) between the two cohorts. Treatment adherence (medication possession ratio and proportion of days covered) and persistence (time to discontinuation) were assessed during the 6-month post-treatment period. Adjusted analyses were conducted using inverse probability of treatment weighting on HCRU, costs, and time to discontinuation. A total of 16,683 patients treated with lurasidone and 4,128 patients treated with cariprazine were identified. Average age (39-40) and proportion female (68-71%) were similar between cohorts. Both cohorts had reductions in hospitalizations from baseline to follow-up, and the decrease was significantly greater for the lurasidone cohort compared to the cariprazine cohort (change in the proportions of patients with all-cause hospitalizations: -5.3% vs. -2.5%, DID= -2.8%, p < 0.001). The total healthcare costs increased from baseline to follow-up in both cohorts, and the increase was significantly lower for the lurasidone cohort (change in total all-cause healthcare cost per person: $3,413 vs. $4,642, DID=-$1,228, p = 0.022). The lurasidone cohort had significantly lower risk of discontinuing treatment (hazard ratio =0.86, p < 0.001) than the cariprazine cohort. Patients with bipolar disorder treated with lurasidone had greater reductions in hospitalizations from 6-months pre-treatment to 6-months post-treatment and had a lower increase in total costs compared to patients treated with cariprazine.

description: We study the problem of predicting a set or list of options under knapsack constraint. The quality of such lists are evaluated by a submodular reward function that measures both quality and diversity. Similar to DAgger (Ross et al., 2010), by a reduction to online learning, we show how to adapt two sequence prediction models to imitate greedy maximization under knapsack constraint problems: CONSEQOPT (Dey et al., 2012) and SCP (Ross et al., 2013). Experiments on extractive multi-document summarization show that our approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods.

description: In this paper, we aim to find a robust network formation strategy that can adaptively evolve the network topology against network dynamics in a distributed manner. We consider a network coding deployed wireless ad hoc network where source nodes are connected to terminal nodes with the help of intermediate nodes. We show that mixing operations in network coding can induce packet anonymity that allows the inter-connections in a network to be decoupled. This enables each intermediate node to consider complex network inter-connections as a node-environment interaction such that the Markov decision process (MDP) can be employed at each intermediate node. The optimal policy that can be obtained by solving the MDP provides each node with optimal amount of changes in transmission range given network dynamics (e.g., the number of nodes in the range and channel condition). Hence, the network can be adaptively and optimally evolved by responding to the network dynamics. The proposed strategy is used to maximize long-term utility, which is achieved by considering both current network conditions and future network dynamics. We define the utility of an action to include network throughput gain and the cost of transmission power. We show that the resulting network of the proposed strategy eventually converges to stationary networks, which maintain the states of the nodes. Moreover, we propose to determine initial transmission ranges and initial network topology that can expedite the convergence of the proposed algorithm. Our simulation results confirm that the proposed strategy builds a network which adaptively changes its topology in the presence of network dynamics. Moreover, the proposed strategy outperforms existing strategies in terms of system goodput and successful connectivity ratio.

description: We compare two temporal properties of classical double radio sources: i) radiative lifetimes of synchrotron-emitting particles and ii) dynamical source ages. We discuss how these can be quite discrepant from one another, rendering use of the traditional spectral ageing method inappropriate: we contend that spectral ages give meaningful estimates of dynamical ages only when these ages are << 10^7 years. In juxtaposing the fleeting radiative lifetimes with source ages which are significantly longer, a refinement of the paradigm for radio source evolution is required. The changing spectra along lobes are explained, not predominantly by synchrotron ageing but, by gentle gradients in a magnetic field mediated by a low-gamma matrix which illuminates an energy-distribution of particles, controlled largely by classical synchrotron loss in the high magnetic field of the hotspot. The energy in the particles is an order of magnitude higher than that inferred from the minimum-energy estimate, implying that the jet-power is of the same order as the accretion luminosity produced by the quasar central engine. This refined paradigm points to a resolution of the findings of Rudnick et al (1994) and Katz-Stone & Rudnick (1994) that both the Jaffe-Perola and Kardashev-Pacholczyk model spectra are invariably poor descriptions of the curved spectral shape of lobe emission, and indeed that for Cygnus A all regions of the lobes are characterised by a `universal spectrum'.

description: The open-charm strong decays of higher charmonium states up to the mass of the $6P$ multiplet are systematically studied in the $^3P_0$ model. The wave functions of the initial charmonium states are calculated in the linear potential (LP) and screened potential (SP) quark model. The decay widths for most of the well-established charmonium states above the open-charm thresholds can be reasonably described. By comparing our quark model calculations with the experimental observations we also discuss the nature of some of the newly observed charmonium-like states. It is found that (i) the $ψ(4415)$ may favor the $ψ(4S)$ or $ψ_1(3D)$ assignment. There may exist two highly overlapping vector charmonium states around 4.4 GeV; (ii) In the LP model the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ $Y(4660)$ resonance and the $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ $X(4500)$ resonance may be assigned as the $ψ(5S)$ and $χ_{c0}(4P)$, respectively; (iii) The newly observed state $X^*(3860)$ can be assigned as the $χ_{c0}(2P)$ state with a narrow width of about $30$ MeV; (iv) It seems to be difficult to accommodate the $X(4140)$ and $X(4274)$ states in the same potential model as excited $χ_{c1}$ states. (v) The $X(3940)$ resonance can be assigned as the $η_c(3S)$ state; (vi) The vector charmonium-like states $Y(4230/4260,4360)$ and scalar $X(4700)$ cannot be described by any conventional charmonium states self-consistently in our model.

description: This work investigates the potential for using Grammatical Evolution (GE) to generate an initial seed for the construction of a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) and cryptographically secure (CS) PRNG. We demonstrate the suitability of GE as an entropy source and show that the initial seeds exhibit an average entropy value of 7.940560934 for 8-bit entropy, which is close to the ideal value of 8. We then construct two random number generators, GE-PRNG and GE-CSPRNG, both of which employ these initial seeds. We use Monte Carlo simulations to establish the efficacy of the GE-PRNG using an experimental setup designed to estimate the value for pi, in which 100,000,000 random numbers were generated by our system. This returned the value of pi of 3.146564000, which is precise up to six decimal digits for the actual value of pi. We propose a new approach called control_flow_incrementor to generate cryptographically secure random numbers. The random numbers generated with CSPRNG meet the prescribed National Institute of Standards and Technology SP800-22 and the Diehard statistical test requirements. We also present a computational performance analysis of GE-CSPRNG demonstrating its potential to be used in industrial applications.

Oxygen Absorption in Cooling Flows
Creators: name: Buote, David A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The inhomogeneous cooling flow scenario predicts the existence of large quantities of gas in massive elliptical galaxies, groups, and clusters that have cooled and dropped out of the flow. Using spatially resolved, deprojected X-ray spectra from the ROSAT PSPC we have detected strong absorption over energies ~0.4-0.8 keV intrinsic to the central ~1 arcmin of the galaxy, NGC 1399, the group, NGC 5044, and the cluster, A1795. These systems have amongst the largest nearby cooling flows in their respective classes and low Galactic columns. Since no excess absorption is indicated for energies below ~0.4 keV the most reasonable model for the absorber is warm, collisionally ionized gas with T=10^{5-6} K where ionized states of oxygen provide most of the absorption. Attributing the absorption only to ionized gas reconciles the large columns of cold H and He inferred from Einstein and ASCA with the lack of such columns inferred from ROSAT, and also is consistent with the negligible atomic and molecular H inferred from HI, and CO observations of cooling flows. The prediction of warm ionized gas as the product of mass drop-out in these and other cooling flows can be verified by Chandra, XMM, and ASTRO-E.

description: Haemophilus influenzae is one of the most common causative agents of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Gene recombinations and high polymorphism make it difficult to diagnose the pathogen even by methods of molecular genetics. The development of DNA microarrays for H. influenzae detection in clinical samples of patients with CAP is promising. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possibility of detection of H. influenzae in clinical samples of patients with CAP using DNA microarray. Oligonucleotide probes were selected using disprose program and sequences from NCBI Nucleotide. Probes capable of cross-linking with H. haemolyticus and H. parainfluenzae DNA were removed in order to exclude nonspecific interaction. Probes were tested as part of DNA microarray design using samples of nucleic acid from tracheal aspirates of children with CAP. H. influenzae detection frequency in clinical samples was determined using sputum samples, tracheal aspirates and pharyngeal swabs of children and adults with CAP. The prevalence of the hybridization signal of the specific probes over 3 standard deviations of the hybridization signal of the negative control probes was interpreted as positive. The results were validated by PCR. 22 probes for H. influenzae detection with DNA microarray were selected. The hybridization signal of probes exceeded the threshold while testing samples containing H. influenzae DNA and did not exceed the threshold value while testing negative samples. H. influenzae detection frequency among patients with CAP was assessed. The results can be used for development of diagnostic tools for establishing the etiological factor of CAP.

Landau Effective Interaction between Quasiparticles in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

description: Landau's description of the excitations in a macroscopic system in terms of quasiparticles stands out as one of the highlights in quantum physics. It provides an accurate description of otherwise prohibitively complex many-body systems, and has led to the development of several key technologies. In this paper, we investigate theoretically the Landau effective interaction between quasiparticles, so-called Bose polarons, formed by impurity particles immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). In the limit of weak interactions between the impurities and the BEC, we derive rigorous results for the effective interaction. They show that it can be strong even for weak impurity-boson interaction, if the transferred momentum/energy between the quasiparticles is resonant with a sound mode in the BEC. We then develop a diagrammatic scheme to calculate the effective interaction for arbitrary coupling strengths, which recovers the correct weak coupling results. Using this, we show that the Landau effective interaction in general is significantly stronger than that between quasiparticles in a Fermi gas, mainly because a BEC is more compressible than a Fermi gas. The interaction is particularly large near the unitarity limit of the impurity-boson scattering, or when the quasiparticle momentum is close to the threshold for momentum relaxation in the BEC. Finally, we show how the Landau effective interaction leads to a sizeable shift of the quasiparticle energy with increasing impurity concentration, which should be detectable with present day experimental techniques.
