Target mass correction on the 3He polarized structure function

The diffusion-effusion model has been used to analyse the release and yields of Fr and Cs isotopes from uranium carbide targets of very different thicknesses (6.3 and 148 g/cm²) bombarded by a 1 GeV proton beam. Release curves of several isotopes of the same element and production efficiency versus decay half-life are well fitted with the same set of parameters. Comparison of efficiencies for neutron-rich and neutron-deficient Cs isotopes enables separation of the contributions from the primary (p + ²³⁸U) and secondary (n + ²³⁸U) reactions to the production of neutron-rich Cs isotopes. A rather simple calculation of the neutron contribution describes these data fairly well. The FLUKA code describes the primary and secondary-reaction contributions to the Cs isotopes production efficiencies for different targets quite well.     

Target mass correction on the 3He polarized structure function

Target mass correction (TMC) is employed to amend the polarized helium structure functions, ³He . The structure function can be obtained via the convolution of the light cone momentum distribution with the polarized structure of the proton and neutron. The calculation of the polarized structure function of the nucleon is based on the constituent quark model. The analytical result for ³He polarized structure function at low values of Q² is not in good agreement with the available experimental data. The reliability of calculations is increased using TMC effect. New comparison confirms a better agreement with the experimental data.     

High-momentum response of liquid 3He

A final-state-effects formalism suitable to analyze the high-momentum response of Fermi liquids is presented and used to study the dynamic structure function of liquid 3He. The theory, developed as a natural extension of the Gersch-Rodriguez formalism, incorporates the Fermi statistics explicitly through a new additive term which depends on the semidiagonal two-body density matrix. The use of a realistic momentum distribution, calculated using the diffusion Monte Carlo method, and the inclusion of this additive correction allows for good agreement with available deep-inelastic neutron scattering data.     

Muon depolarization in liquid3He

We report the first measurements of the positive-muon spin depolarization in liquid³He. The relaxation of the muon and muonium precession has been studied in transverse, longitudinal, and zero magnetic fields in the temperature range 0.5–2.5 K. The results are discussed in terms of two different depolarization mechanisms: recombinational depolarization (i.e. slow muonium formation) and magnetic relaxation due to the³He nuclear magnetic moments.     

Phase transitions in liquid 3He

The phase transitions of liquid 3He are described by truncations of an exact nonperturbative renormalization group equation. The location of the first-order transition lines and the jump in the order parameter are computed quantitatively. At the triple point we find indications of partially universal behavior. We suggest experiments that could help to determine the effective interactions between fermion pairs.     

Thermal conductivity of spin-polarized liquid 3He

We present the first measurements of the thermal conductivity of spin-polarized normal liquid 3He. Using the rapid melting technique to produce nuclear polarizations up to 0.7, and a vibrating wire both as a heater and a thermometer, we show that, unlike the viscosity, the conductivity increases much less than predicted for s-wave scattering. We suggest that this might be due to a small probability for head-on collisions between quasiparticles.     

The superfluidd transition temperature of a Fermi liquid: 3He and 3He4He mixtures

The superfluid transitions temperature is calculated from the microscopic theory of a Fermi liquid in terms of the Landau parameters and one unknown scale factor. Determining the latter from the observed transition in ³He leads to an estimate that the superfluid transition in ³He⁴He mixtures may be presently observable.     

The polarization energy of normal liquid 3He

We present new quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the ground-state energy of liquid ³He using backflow and 3-body wavefunctions and twist-averaged boundary conditions. We estimate the effects of the 3-body potential and compare to experimental measurements of the unpolarized equation of state and the magnetic susceptibility. There is still a large discrepancy with respect to the magnetic susceptibility, requiring either improved nodal surfaces or going beyond the fixed-node method.     

Binding of3He atoms to liquid helium

Summary We calculate the³He−⁴He chemical potential and change in volume in bulk liquid⁴He employing integral equation and Monte Carlo procedures. Detailed numerical results on these quantities and their dependence on bulk density and on the isotopic-mass difference are presented and discussed. This work has been supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft under grant Ri 267 and by the U.S. Department of energy under contract DE-AC 02-76 ER03077 and by the NSF under grant DMR-77-18329.     

On a microscopic theory of liquid 3He

We present a microscopic calculation of the wave number dependent quasiparticle interaction and its variation with pressure in liquid ³He. Calculation of the variation of the Landau parameters F^s₀ and F^a₀ with pressure is also presented. The theory is capable of reproducing qualitatively some of the salient features seen in experiments in liquid ³He.
