[Aspuru-Guzik group list] visitor on Monday

Hi everybody, We'll have a prospective postdoc - Shachar Klaiman from the Technion in Israel - visiting the lab on Monday. He will give a talk at 2pm in the Division Room: The Absolute Position of a Resonance Peak ------------------------------------------------------------- It is common practice in scattering theory to correlate the position of a resonance peak in the cross section to the real part of a complex energy of a pole of the scattering amplitude. In this work, we show that the resonance peak position appears at the absolute value of the pole's complex energy rather than its real part. We further demonstrate that a local theory of resonances can still be used even in the cases previously thought to be impossible. There is plenty of opportunity to talk to him during the day and I hope a lot of you will use it.
