Spectrum of b-baryons: color hyperfine interaction vs. experiment

I discuss several recent highly accurate theoretical predictions for masses of baryons containing the b quark,especially Ωb （ssb） very recently reported by CDF.I also point out an approximate effective supersymmetry between heavy quark baryons and mesons and provide predictions for the magnetic moments of Λc and Λb .Proper treatment of the color-magnetic hyperfine interaction in QCD is crucial for obtaining these results.     

Strange quark dynamics on hot dense matter under the extreme condition

Production and properties of φ-meson under the extreme hot dense matter which is formed in Au ＋ Au collisions at RHIC energy have been briefly reviewed.The issues are focused on transverse momentum （p T ） spectra of φ,elliptic flow of φ,nuclear modification factor of φ,the ratio of Ω（p T ）/φ（p T ） versus p T,the ratio of Ω（p T /3）/φ（p T /2） versus p T /n q,spin alignment of φ and the enhancement of φ etc.These observables give the significant information of the strange quark dynamics in hot dense matter under the extreme condition.     

Mixing of scalar meson and baryon-baryon interaction

At quark level,we study the effect of ideal mixing of singlet σ 0 and octet σ 8 scalar mesons on baryon-baryon interaction in the chiral SU（3） quark model.We solve the resonating group method equation for scattering process and bound state.The results show that the binding energy of deuteron and nucleonnucleon and hyperon-nucleon scattering data can be reasonably described for ideal mixing.Taking the same parameters we used in the scattering calculation,we further investigate the possible dibaryons and find the binding energy of （ΩΩ） ST =00 and （Ξ ＊Ω） ST =0 1 2 can be reduced a lot for ideal mixing.     

Analyticity of the sine family with L p -maximal regularity for second order Cauchy problems

If the second order problem u（t） ＋ Bu（t） ＋ Au（t） = f（t）, u（0） =u（0） = 0 has L^p-maximal regularity, 1 〈 p 〈 ∞, the analyticity of the corresponding propagator of the sine type is shown by obtaining the estimates of ‖λ（λ^2 ＋ λB ＋ A）^-1‖ and ‖B（λ^2 ＋ λB ＋ A）^-1‖ for λ∈ C with Reλ 〉 ω, where the constant ω≥ 0.     

Towards an understanding of heavy baryon spectroscopy

The recent observation at CDF and D0 of Σ _b , Σ _b ^* and Ξ _b baryons opens the door to the advent of new states in the bottom baryon sector. The states measured provide sufficient constraints to fix the parameters of phenomenological models. One may therefore consistently predict the full bottom baryon spectra. For this purpose we have solved exactly the three-quark problem by means of the Faddeev method in momentum space. We consider our guidance may help experimentalists in the search for new bottom baryons and their findings will help in constraining further the phenomenological models. We identify particular states whose masses may allow to discriminate between the dynamics for the light quark pairs predicted by different phenomenological models. Within the same framework we also present results for charmed, doubly charmed, and doubly bottom baryons. Our results provide a restricted possible assignment of quantum numbers to recently reported charmed-baryon states. Some of them are perfectly described by D-wave excitations with J ^P = 5/2⁺, as the Λ _c (2880), Λ _c (3055), and Λ _c (3123). Communicated by V. Vento     

Phase Transitions in Neutron Stars Within Modified Quark-Meson Coupling Model

K^- condensation and quark deconfinement phase transitions in neutron stars are investigated. We use the modified quark-meson coupling model for hadronic phase and the MIT bag model for quark phase. With the equation of state （EOS） solved self-consistently, we discuss the properties of neutron stars. We find that the EOS of pure hadron matter with condensed K- phase should be ruled out by the redshift for star EX00748-676, while EOS containing unpaired quark matter phase with B1/4 being about 180 MeV could be consistent with both this observation and the best measured mass of star PSR 1913 ＋ 16. But if the recent inferred massive star among Terzan 5 with M 〉 1.68M is confirmed, all the present EOSes with condensed phase and deconfined phase would be ruled out.

Behind the success of modified coupled-cluster methods: addition by subtraction

ABSTRACT

Modified coupled-cluster (CC) methods such as linearized coupled-cluster doubles (LinCCD), approximate coupled pair (ACP D14), 2CC (from nCC family), parameterized CCSD (pCCSD) and distinguishable cluster (DCSD) can have their advantages over general CC methods. Though these methods include connected clusters of single and double excitations at most, distinguishable cluster, parameterized CC and approximate coupled pair methods, in particular, have been shown to produce quantitatively correct results in benchmark studies. To put these methods on a stronger foothold, it is essential to understand the rationale for their success: mimicking the effect of connected triple excitations. We exploit the relation between CC and many body perturbation theory (MBPT) in general, and between CCSD and MBPT(4)/MP4 in particular, to take a step towards bringing clarity to this persisting conundrum. Our aim here is to look for numerical signs of ‘addition by subtraction’ or ‘inclusion by deletion’ effect that is likely behind the success of these modified CCD or CCSD methods. We achieve this by revisiting well-studied examples of single and multiple bond dissociation and comparing the performance of these modified CCSD methods with higher-level CC methods. Though our results are qualitative in nature, we hope this would lead to more rigorous analysis in future studies.
