Coherence and Many-Body Phenomena.

Abstract

For a gas of simple atoms, it was found that a weak pulse arbitrary transverse spatial dependence was prone to longitudinal propagation which was not affected by diffractive spreading. Progress was also made on the possibility of exchanging forbidden nuclear beta decay by exposure to radiofrequency fields. The interactions of charged particle in a laser field was also studied. Other areas of investigation included: 1) Internal conversion in an intense radiation field, 2) many body and solid state physics, 3) the role of laser amplitude fluctuations in nonlinear optical processes, and 4) atomic theory.
