We discuss the phase coherence properties of a mesoscopic normal ring coupled to an electric environment via Coulomb interactions. This system can be mapped onto the Caldeira-Leggett model with a flux dependent tunneling amplitude. We show that depending on the strength of the coupling between the r

β¦ Synopsis
We show that a scattering matrix can be used to calculate the transmission probability for a pure mesoscopic ring that has a circumference short compared with the phase coherence length that is interrupted by a clean tunnel barrier. The oscillation exhibits a period of (2 \pi) or (\pi), depending on the thickness of the barrier, as a function of the electrostatic phase shift that arises from the electrostatic potential applied to one branch of the ring. These results are independent of the parity of (\mathrm{k}{p} \mathrm{~L}\left(\mathrm{k}{p}\right.) is the Fermi wave number, (L) is half of the path length of the ring.).
