Free field

the Lagrangietn with a quadratic polynomial term describes non-interacting (free) field that is marked by the subscript 0 at C. Recall that this magnet model (see section 1.7) takes into account the interaction among the nearest spins only. 

The correlation function (Green s function) in the k representation (momentum space) is defined as (see Equations 20, 13, and 25) 

1b get G o(k) through the generating functional (see Equation 23), to the free I.a-grangian density Co should be added an addend with the source 

To derive Go(k) according to Equation 32, this integral needs no calculation, since it will be cancelled with the same integral in Equation 32 s denominator. 

In the case of a free field, the Lagrangian (Equation 27) is a quadratic function of 4 (x), and the probability distribution for the field (Equation 6) is Gaussian all the fields are statistically independent (Patashinski and Pokrovski, 1975).

In this talk, we consider the TFD approach for free fields aiming to extend the Bogoliubov transformation to account also for spatial compactification effects. The main application of our general discussion is the Casimir effect for cartesian confining geometries at finite temperature. 

This keynote paper gives a general discussion of blast waves developed by high explosive detonations, their effects on structures and people, and risk assessment methods. The properties of free-field waves and normally and obliquely reflected waves are reviewed. Diffraction around block shapes and slender obstacles is covered next. Blast and gas pressures from explosions within vented structures are sumnarized. 

Basics of Free-Field Blast Waves. The most severe types of energy releases which can occur in toxic chemical and explosives facilities are explosions of high explosive materials. When such materials are initiated by some stimulus, they may burn, deflagrate or detonate. Detonation is by far the most severe of these three chemical reactions, so it is usually assumed to occur in accident situations, unless one can prove otherwise quite conclusively. 

The ideal side-on parameters almost never represent the actual pressure loading applied to structures or targets following an explosion. So a number of other properties are defined to either more closely approximate real blast loads or to provide upper limits for such loads. (The processes of reflection and diffraction will be discussed later.) Properties of free-field blast waves other than side-on pressure which can be important in structural loading ares... 

Directional Venting. Most vented explosion safety structures are designed with blowout wall panels, entire walls, entire roofs, or even the entire roof and one wall. Other walls and roofs in the structure are designed to withstand a worst-case explosion without catastrophic failure. The explosion-proof parts of the structure provide some close-in blast protection, and hopefully complete protection from fragments and thermal radiation. But blast in the venting directions is not always attenuated compared to free-field blast and can even be enhanced in certain directions. 

As indicated in Equation 3.8 and Section 3.3.2, the duration of the reflected overpressure effect, tc, should not exceed that of the free field positive overpressure,...

When the free field blast wave from an explosion strikes a surface, it is reflected. The effect of this blast wave reflection is that the surface will experience a pressure much more than the incident side-on value. The magnitude of the reflected pressure is usually determined as an amplifying ratio of the incident pressure ... 

In the free field, the blast wave from an explosion travels at or above the acoustic speed for the propagating medium. TM 5-1300 provides plots of shock front velocity vs. scaled distance for high energy TNT explosives. There are no similar plots available for pressure wave propagation. However, for design purposes it can be conservatively assumed that a pressure wave travels at the same velocity as a shock wave. In the low pressure range, and for normal atmospheric conditions, the... 

The side wall load has a rise time equal to the time it takes for the blast wave to travel across the element being considered. The overall duration is equal to this rise lime plus the duration of the free-field side-on overpressure. 

The following loads are computed from free field blast wave parameters. Refer to Chapter 3 for load determination procedure.

So far our discussion is limited to a single fermion in the free field or in the presence of an electromagnetic radiation field. In the following section, we will generalize the discussion to relativistic many-fermion Hamiltonians.
