Measuring Vibration Excitation Radius & Alpha Parametar

In summary: No, the \alpha's are decomposition coefficients for the spherical harmonics Y. They are only complex when you use the complex conjugate of the spherical harmonics Y.

When we have vibration excitation then the radius of nucleus is define like:
[tex]R=R_0[1+\sum^{\infty}_{\lambda=0}\sum^{\lambda}_{\mu=-\lambda}\alpha_{\lambda\mu}Y^{\lambda}_{\mu}(\theta,\phi)][/tex]

where [tex]\alpha_{\lambda,\mu}=\alpha_{\lambda,-\mu}[/tex] and [tex]\alpha_{\lambda,\mu}=\alpha_{\lambda,\mu}(t)[/tex]

How you measure this [tex]\alpha[/tex] parametar?

[tex]Y^{\mu}_{\lambda}=\frac{(-1)^{\mu+\lambda}}{2^{\lambda}\lambda!}\sqrt{\frac{2\lambda+1}{4\pi}\frac{(\lambda-\mu)!}{(\lambda+\mu)!}}e^{i\mu\varphi}(sin\Theta)^{\frac{\mu}{2}}\frac{d^{\mu+\lambda}}{d(cos\Theta)^{\mu+\lambda}}sin^{2\lambda}(\Theta)[/tex]

And more:
Kinetic energy of system is define like:

[tex]T=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{\lambda,\mu}B_{\lambda}|\frac{d \alpha_{\lambda,\mu}}{d t}|^2[/tex]

Rayleight use [tex]\rho=\frac{3M}{4R^3_0\pi}[/tex], and get [tex]B_{\lambda}=\frac{3MR^2_0}{4\pi\lambda}[/tex]. How?

Thanks for answers

Which book, what have you tried? ..

Well this is from book "Osnovi nuklearne fizike" - Lazar Marinkov. I tried Burcham and some book of Gamov. From the Marinkov's book I think that this is given in reference P. Ring and P. Schuck, The Nuclear Many-Body Problem (Springer-Verlag, New York, Heidelberg, Berlin, 1980) but I don't have this book.

The first equation is just a decomposition of a generic function defined on a sphere in terms of spherical harmonics Y. Like a Fourier transform, but on a sphere. [tex]\alpha[/tex]'s are decomposition coefficients.

Y's, though scary looking, are normalized so that the integral of [tex]|Y|^2[/tex] over the entire sphere is something simple (there are a few different definitions, one common definition is that [tex]\int |Y|^2 d\Omega = 1[/tex]. I can't tell right away which one is used by your book.) If you assume that only one of [tex]\alpha[/tex]'s is nonzero and make certain assumptions about the nuclear matter, perhaps that non-excited nucleus is a homogeneous sphere of density [tex]\rho[/tex], deformed according to the formula above, and make assumptions about velocity distribution, and you compute kinetic energy by integrating over the entire volume, you'll get an equation that expresses B in terms of [tex]\rho[/tex].

Thanks for answering.
In that series is [tex]\alpha[/tex] perhaps complex functions in general?
 

Related to Measuring Vibration Excitation Radius & Alpha Parametar

1. What is a vibration excitation radius?

A vibration excitation radius is a measure of the distance from the center of a vibrating object at which the vibration is strongest. It is typically expressed in terms of the amplitude of the vibration at that distance, and is used to characterize the strength of a vibrating system.

2. How is vibration excitation radius measured?

Vibration excitation radius can be measured using various methods such as laser vibrometry, accelerometers, and strain gauges. These instruments measure the amplitude of the vibration at different distances from the center of the vibrating object, and the data is used to calculate the excitation radius.

3. What factors affect the vibration excitation radius?

The vibration excitation radius can be influenced by several factors such as the stiffness and damping of the vibrating object, the frequency of the vibration, and the mode of vibration. The type of material and the shape of the object can also affect the excitation radius.

4. What is the alpha parameter in measuring vibration excitation radius?

The alpha parameter is a dimensionless quantity used in the calculation of vibration excitation radius. It takes into account the mode shape of the vibrating object and is used to normalize the amplitude of vibration at different distances from the center. This allows for a more accurate and consistent measurement of the excitation radius.

5. Why is measuring vibration excitation radius important?

Measuring vibration excitation radius is important for understanding the dynamics of a vibrating system. It can provide valuable information about the strength and behavior of the system, which is crucial in designing and optimizing structures and machines to avoid unwanted vibrations and potential failures.
