Hadronic η and $ \eta{^\prime}$ decays

The hadronic decays η, ↦3π and ↦ηππ are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are included by deriving s- and p-wave interaction kernels for meson-meson scattering from the chiral effective Lagrangian and iterating them in a Bethe-Salpeter equation. Very good overall agreement with currently available data on decay widths and spectral shapes is achieved.     

$J^{P}$ Assignments of $\Lambda_c^{+}$ Baryons

The ＂good＂ diquark is employed to study A＋ baryons within a mass loaded flux tube model. The study indicates that all A＋ baryons candidates in the 2008 review by the Particle Data Group （PDG） are well described in the mass loaded flux model. The quantum numbers JP of these A＋ candidates are assigned. If Ac（2765）＋ is an orbitally excited A＋, it is likely the JP=3/2＋one. If ∧c（2765）＋ is an orbitally excited ∑c, there ought to be another JP=3/2＋∧c＋with mass ≈2770 MeV. In the model, there exists no JP=1/2＋∧c＋（≈2700）predicted in existing literature. Ac （2940）＋ is very possible the orbitally excited baryon with     

Role of the Λ(1600) in the ${K}^{-}p \rightarrow {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction

Role of the Λ(1600) is studied in the ${K}^{-}p\to {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction by using the effective Lagrangian approach near the threshold. We perform a calculation for the total and differential cross sections by considering the contributions from the Λ(1600) and Λ(1670) intermediate resonances decaying into ${\pi }^{0}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* 0}(1385)$ with ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* 0}(1385)$ decaying into ${\pi }^{0}{\rm{\Lambda }}$. Additionally, the non-resonance process from u-channel nucleon pole is also taken into account. With our model parameters, the current experimental data on the total cross sections of the ${K}^{-}p\to {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction can be well reproduced. It is shown that we really need the contribution from the Λ(1600) with spin-parity ${J}^{P}=1/{2}^{+}$, and that these measurements can be used to determine some of the properties of the Λ(1600) resonance. Furthermore, we also plot the π⁰Λ invariant mass distributions which could be tested by the future experimental measurements.     

Synthesis of ^197Os

An isotope at a particular region in the chart of nuclides can be produced with a certain type ot nuclear reactions and experimental approaches. The (n, 2p) reaction is one of useful techniques for producing heavy neutron-rich nuclei in region not accessible from fission. In the present experiment, ^197Os was produced by using ^198Pt(n, 2p)^197Os reaction.     

Photoproduction of the $\Theta^+$ and its vector and axial-vector structure

We present recent investigations on the vector and axial-vector transitions of the baryon antidecuplet within the framework of the self-consistent SU（3） chiral quark-soliton model, taking into account the 1/No rotational and linear mscorrections. The main contribution to the electric-like transition form factor comes from the wave-function corrections. This is a consequence of the generalized Ademollo-Gatto theorem. It is also found that in general the leading-order contributions are almost canceled by the rotational 1/No corrections. The results are summarized as follows： the vector and tensor K＇NO coupling constants, gK＊N= 0.74--0.87 and fk＊N =0.53--1.16, respectively, and F→KN = 0.71 MeV, based on the result of the KN coupling constant gKne =0.83. We also show the differential cross sections and beam asymmetries, based on the present results. We also discuss the connection of present results with the original work by Diakonov, Petrov, and Polyakov.     

Properties of the Alpha Decay Chain Nuclei of ^310 126, ^292 120 and ^298 114

The properties of the a decay nuclei of^310 126, ^292 120 and ^298 114 are investigated in the deformed relativistic meanfield model. The nuclear properties are investigated with the TMA and NL-Z2 parameter sets, and compared with Moller‘s result [At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 59 (1995) 185]. The results show that the a decay energy increases systematically with the increasing proton number. Meanwhile, the a decay energy has a minimum value at the point of shell closure. It is also found that among the three nuclei, ^292 120 is more possible to be the next doubly magic nucleus.     

Asymptotic Normalization Coefficient of ^27P → ^26Si ＋ p and Radius of ^27P Halo

The asymptotic normalization coefficient of the virtual decay ^27P → ^26Si ＋ p is extracted to be 1840 ± 240 fm^-1 from the peripheral ^26Mg（d,p）^27Mg reaction using charge symmetry of mirror pair, for the first time. It is then used to derive the rms radius of the valence proton in the ground state of ^27P. We obtain the rms radius （γ^2〉^1/2 = 4.57 ± 0.36 fm, significantly larger than the matter radius of ^27P. The probability of the valence proton outside the matter radius of ^27P is found to be 73%. The present work supports the conclusion that the ^27p ground state has a proton halo structure.     

Reduced Shell Model Calculations of ^111Sb and ^112Sb

The low-lying states of the mid-heavy odd-even ^111Sb and odd-odd ^112Sb isotopes are calculated for the first time within the shell model framework. The shell model calculations have been carried out within the reduced model space including the single particle orbits ld5/2,097/2, ld3/2, 2Sl/2. We obtain the energy spectra for the ^111Sb and ^112Sb isotopes in the reduced model space by using CD-Bonn two-body effective nucleon-nucleon interaction. The energy spectra are compared to the experimental results to give some discussion about the low-lying states of ^111Sb and ^112Sb.     

A complete $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{\mathrm{S}}^{2})$ calculation of the signal–background interference for the Higgs diphoton decay channel

We analyze a noncommutative model of BTZ spacetime based on deformation of the standard symplectic structure of phase space, i.e., a modification of the standard commutation relations among coordinates and momenta in phase space. We find a BTZ-like solution that is nonperturbative in the non-trivial noncommutative structure. It is shown that the use of deformed commutation relations in the modified non-canonical phase space eliminates the horizons of the standard metric.     

Enhancement of β^＋-Decay Rate of ^22Na in Metal Pd at Low Temperature

Temperature dependence of nuclear decays in metallic environments is a controversial issue. We measured the temperature dependence of the β^＋-decay half-life of ^22Na implanted into the metal host of palladium. It is found that the β^＋-decay half-life of ^22Na in the metal Pd cooled to T = 15 K is shorter by 0.46（14）% than that at room temperature. The result is consistent in sign with, but dearly smaller than, the estimated one by the Debye model.
