Cover Story: Traditionally, the configuration space for electron–molecule scattering is divided into two regions. A sphere with a radius rm defines the internal region with strong electron–molecule interaction. The electron continuum wave functions outside the sphere are atomic-like, emerging from a single center. Alternatively, a molecule is represented as a cluster of N non-overlapping spheres. The picture of scattering on such a target is based on the Huygens–Fresnel principle. The interference of the secondary waves from the centers creates a diffraction pattern whose properties depend on the target configuration. A question arises: is it possible to adapt the method of partial waves for the case of a multicenter target keeping the Huygens–Fresnel picture of the scattering process? View this paper

15 December 2022

Considering light-mediated long-range interactions between cold atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT), we present numerical evidence of a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) for sufficiently large number of atoms (>108). This state manifests itself...

We consider the implications of the recent measurement of the W-boson mass MW=80,433.5±9.4MeV/c2 for atomic parity violation experiments. We show that the change in MW shifts the Standard Model prediction for the 133Cs nuclear weak charge to Q...
