    A one-dimensional model for ionization induced by scattering with a heavy particle

    The ionization probability for a one-dimensional model atom perturbed by a moving repulsive scatterer is considered. The moving scattering centre is meant to mimic a second quantum particle crossing the region where a much lighter particle is initially bound in the atom. We compute the first three terms (of order t3/2, t2, t5/2 respectively) in the expansion for small times of the ionization probability and we deduce that the first term showing explicit dependence on the velocity of the scatterer is of order t5/2. A possible application of the model for the description of a quantum particle in a cloud chamber is also outlined

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
