    I Frank Condon factors in molecules

    Hello! I am reading about laser cooling, and I see people talking about the Frank Condon factors. It seems to be just a vibrational overlap integral, but I found different definitions in terms of whether is just the integral or its square (the difference is huge, so it should matter). What is...

    Express ##x^3+y^3## in terms of ##m## and ##n##

    Let me start by showing the problem as it appeared in the text. Attempt : ##{\color{red}{\large *}}## The key thing is to do the problem in a "good way", whereby I can express ##x^3+y^3=f\{(x+y), (x-y)\}## purely, with no cross terms - and that is not what I am able to do. Below I reproduce...

    How Does Integration by Factors Relate to the Product Rule and FTC?

    I tried to prove this but I fall into a loop when I try to apply integration by factors, that is I prove that the integral is equal to itself. Any helpfull tips?

    Hi there, bored physicist here. I wondered about factorization so I made some plots and a model fit to satiate my curiosity, but it only made me more curious. Now I just want the answers! I didn't know which prefix to use. "Hobbyist" seemed more appropriate but we don't have that so I went with...

    Forbidden beta decay form factors

    My idea was to consider first the structure of the matrix element and to see if there are any possible constraints that we could use for parametrization. If I am not mistaken, we are dealing with the hadronic decay governed by QCD which conserves parity. Since we have a derivative operator...

    First Order Diffy Q Problem with Bernoulli/Integrating Factors

    I seem to be getting an unsolvable integral here (integral calculator says it's an Ei function, which I've never seen). My thought was to use Bernoulli to make it linear and then integrating factors. Is that wrong? The basic idea is below: P(x) 1, Q(x) = 1/2(1-1/x), n=-1, so use v=y^1-...

    Automotive Design Factors for ICE Peak HP versus RPM?
