Dymamical Casimir emission from polariton condensates The nature of the vacuum is drastically changed in the presence of a polariton condensate leading to increased dynamical Casimir emission One of the tenets of my theory that produces accelerated nuclear decay rates postulates that the rate of virtual particle production is greatly enhanced in the polariton excited vacuum *We study theoretically the dynamical Casimir effect in an exciton-polariton condensate that is suddenly created by an ultrashort laser pulse at normal incidence. As a consequence of the abrupt change of the quantum vacuum, Bogoliubov excitations are generated. The subsequent evolution, governed by polariton interactions and losses, is studied within a linearized truncated Wigner approximation. We focus in particular on the momentum distribution and spatial coherence.* *The limiting behavior at large and small momenta is determined analytically. * *A simple scaling relation for the final condensate depletion as a function of the system parameters is found and the correlation length is shown to depend linearly on the condensate depletion. * Bogoliubov excitations are broken positron/electron virtual pairs that are the basis of Hawking radiation <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation> and many other topics On Sat, Sep 20, 2014 at 7:38 PM, <mix...@bigpond.com> wrote: > In reply to James Bowery's message of Sat, 20 Sep 2014 18:12:38 -0500: > Hi, > [snip] > >Gordon Docherty has posted a theory reconciling hydrinos with cold fusion: > > > >"A Refinement of Ideas: Hydrinos and LENR existing in Perfect Harmony > >< > http://www.e-catworld.com/2014/09/02/hydrinos-and-lenr-existing-in-perfect-harmony-guest-post/ > > > >" > > > >How does his compare to yours, Robin? > > The author appears to have been reading Fran's posts to this forum.
