Impurity effects of the Λhyperon in the hypernuclear systems ${}_{{\rm{\Lambda }}}^{25}\mathrm{Mg}$ and ${}_{{\rm{\Lambda }}}^{29}\mathrm{Si}$

Based on the beyond-mean-field Skyrme–Hartree–Fock model, impurity effects of the Λhyperon in the hypernuclear systems ${}_{\,{\rm{\Lambda }}}^{25}$ Mg and ${}_{\,{\rm{\Lambda }}}^{29}$ Si are investigated, respectively. Four cases, in which the Λhyperon occupies the single-particle orbitals ${\rm{\Lambda }}$[000]${\tfrac{1}{2}}^{+}$, ${\rm{\Lambda }}$[110]${\tfrac{1}{2}}^{-}$, ${\rm{\Lambda }}$[101]${\tfrac{3}{2}}^{-}$ and ${\rm{\Lambda }}$[101]${\tfrac{1}{2}}^{-}$, are focused. In each case, the potential energy surface and the energy curves projected on certain angular momenta are employed to show the influence of the Λhyperon on the nuclear core. Beside the shrinkage effect that is induced by the Λhyperon occupying the s_Λ orbital, it is found that the Λhyperon on the p_Λ orbital, ${\rm{\Lambda }}$[110]${\tfrac{1}{2}}^{-}$, drives the nuclear core toward a prolate shape, while the ones on the other two p_Λ orbitals, ${\rm{\Lambda }}$[101]${\tfrac{3}{2}}^{-}$ and ${\rm{\Lambda }}$[101]${\tfrac{1}{2}}^{-}$, drive the nuclear core toward an oblate shape. The energy spectra and the corresponding intra-band E2 transition rates for the rotational bands are given as a prediction for future experiments.     

Covalent hadronic molecules induced by shared light quarks

After examining Feynman diagrams corresponding to the ${\bar{D}}^{(* )}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{c}^{(* )}$, ${\bar{D}}^{(* )}{{\rm{\Lambda }}}_{c}$, ${D}^{(* )}{\bar{K}}^{* }$, and ${D}^{(* )}{\bar{D}}^{(* )}$ hadronic molecular states, we propose a possible binding mechanism induced by shared light quarks. This mechanism is similar to the covalent bond in chemical molecules induced by shared electrons. We use the method of QCD sum rules to calculate its corresponding light-quark-exchange diagrams, and the obtained results indicate a model-independent hypothesis: the light-quark-exchange interaction is attractive when the shared light quarks are totally antisymmetric so they obey the Pauli principle. We build a toy model with four parameters to formulize this picture and estimate binding energies of some possibly-existing covalent hadronic molecules. A unique feature of this picture is that the binding energies of the (I)J^P = (0)1⁺ $D{\bar{B}}^{* }/{D}^{* }\bar{B}$ hadronic molecules are much larger than those of the (I)J^P = (0)1⁺ ${{DD}}^{* }/\bar{B}{\bar{B}}^{* }$ ones, while the (I)J^P = (1/2)1/2⁺ $\bar{D}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{c}/\bar{D}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{b}/B{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{c}/B{{\rm{\Sigma }}}_{b}$ hadronic molecules have similar binding energies.     

Analysis of the excited Ωc states as the $\tfrac{1}{2}$± pentaquark states with QCD sum rules

We construct both the scalar-diquark-scalar-diquark-antiquark type and axialvector-diquark-axialvector-diquark-antiquark type interpolating currents to study the charmed pentaquark states ${susc}\bar{u}$ with ${J}^{P}={\tfrac{1}{2}}^{\pm }$. We employ the QCD sum rules to investigate the masses and pole residues of the charmed pentaquark states by taking into account the vacuum condensates up to dimension 13 in the operator product expansion. Our calculation results indicate that the scalar-diquark-scalar-diquark-antiquark type and axialvector-diquark-axialvector-diquark-antiquark type charmed pentaquark states ${susc}\bar{u}$ with ${J}^{P}={\tfrac{1}{2}}^{-}$ can be possible candidates of the excited Ω_c states observed in the LHCb collaboration.     

Ab initio calculation of the ground and first excited states of the lithium dimer

Based on a high level ab initio calculation which is carried out with the multireference configuration interaction method under the aug-cc-pVXZ (AVXZ) basis sets, X=T, Q, 5, the accurate potential energy curves (PECs) of the ground state ${\rm{X}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{g}^{+}$ and the first excited state ${\rm{A}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{u}^{+}$ of Li₂ are constructed. By fitting the ab initio potential energy points with the Murrell–Sorbie potential function, the analytic potential energy functions (APEFs) are obtained. The molecular bond length at the equilibrium (R_e), the potential well depth (D_e), and the spectroscopic constants (B_e, ω_e, α_e, and ω_eχ_e) for the ${\rm{X}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{g}^{+}$ state and the ${\rm{A}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{u}^{+}$ state are deduced from the APEFs. The vibrational energy levels of the two electronic states are obtained by solving the time-independent Schrödinger equation with the Fourier grid Hamiltonian method. All the spectroscopic constants and the vibrational levels agree well with the experimental results. The Franck–Condon factors (FCFs) corresponding to the transitions from the vibrational level (v′=0) of the ground state to the vibrational levels (v″=0–74) of the first excited state have been calculated. The FCF for the vibronic transition of ${\rm{A}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{u}^{+}$(v″=0) ←${\rm{X}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{g}^{+}$(v′=0) is the strongest. These PECs and corresponding spectroscopic constants provide reliable theoretical references to both the spectroscopic and the molecular dynamic studies of the Li₂ dimer.     

Co-Al-W基高温合金的团簇成分式

Co-Al-W基高温合金具有类似于Ni基高温合金的γ+γ'相组织结构.根据面心立方固溶体的团簇加连接原子结构模型,Ni基高温合金的成分式即最稳定的化学近程序结构单元可以描述为第一近邻配位多面体团簇加上次近邻的三个连接原子.本文应用类似方法,首次给出了Co-Al-W基高温合金的团簇成分式.利用原子半径和团簇共振模型,可计算出Co-Al-W三元合金的团簇成分通式,为[Al-Co_(12)](Co,Al,W)_3,即以Al为中心原子、Co为壳层原子的[Al-Co_(12)]团簇加上三个连接原子.对于多元合金,需要先将元素进行分类:溶剂元素——类Co元素Co (Co, Cr, Fe, Re, Ni,Ir,Ru)和溶质元素——类Al元素Al (Al,W,Mo, Ta,Ti,Nb,V等);进而根据合金元素的配分行为,将类Co元素分为Co~γ(Cr, Fe, Re)和Co~(γ')(Ni, Ir, Ru);根据混合焓,将类Al元素分为Al, W (W, Mo)和Ta (Ta, Ti, Nb, V等).由此,任何多元Co-Al-W基高温合金均可简化为Co-Al伪二元体系或者Co-Al-(W,Ta)伪三元体系,其团簇加连接原子成分式为[Al-Co_(12)](Co_(1.0)Al_(2.0))(或[Al-Co_(12)] Co_(1.0)Al_(0.5)(W,Ta)_(1.5)=Co_(81.250)Al_(9.375)(W,Ta)_(9.375) at.%).其中,γ与γ'相的团簇成分式分别为[Al-Co_(12)](Co_(1.5)Al_(1.5))(或[Al-Co_(12)] Co_(1.5)Al_(0.5)(W,Ta)_(1.0)=Co_(84.375)Al_(9.375)(W,Ta)_(6.250) at.%)和[Al-Co_(12)](Co_(0.5)Al_(2.5))(或[Al-Co_(12)] Co_(0.5)Al_(0.5)(W, Ta)_(2.0)=Co_(78.125)Al_(9.375)(W,Ta)_(12.500)at.%).例如,Co_(82)Al_9W_9合金的团簇成分式为[Al-Co_(12)]Co_(1.1)Al_(0.4)W_(1.4)(～[Al-Co_(12)]Co_(1.0)Al_(0.5)W_(1.5)),其中γ相的团簇成分式为[Al-Co_(12)]Co_(1.6)Al_(0.4)W_(1.0)(～[Al-Co_(12)]Co_(1.5)Al_(0.5)W_(1.0)),γ'相的团簇成分式为[Al-Co_(12)]Co_(0.3)Al_(0.5)W_(2.2)(～[AlCo_(12)]Co_(0.5)Al_(0.5)W_(2.0)).     

Improved analysis of the rare decay processes of Λ_b

It is noted that in the new Particle Data Group(PDG) version the rare decays of the Λ_b baryon have been revised with more accuracy. The new results show that most of the existing theoretical results on the process Λ_b→Λ_γ Lgbare larger than those of experiments. With the improved higher-order light-cone distribution amplitudes of the Λ baryon, we reanalyze the process in the framework of light-cone quantum chromodynamics sum rules and the branching ratio is estimated to be Br (Λ_b→Λ_γ)=(7.38_(-0.39)~(+0.40))×10~(16), which is consistent with the new experimental result. Furthermore, another process Λ_b→Λl~+l~- is also analyzed in the same frame. The final branching ratio is calculated to be Br (Λ_b→Λl~+l~-)=1.20×10~(-6), which is in good accordance with the data from the PDG and other theoretical predictions.

Searching for isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background in the international pulsar timing array second data release

We search for isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) in the International Pulsar Timing Array second data release. By modeling the SGWB as a power-law, we find very strong Bayesian evidence for a common-spectrum process, and further this process has scalar transverse (ST) correlations allowed in general metric theory of gravity as the Bayes factor in favor of the ST-correlated process versus the spatially uncorrelated common-spectrum process is 30 ± 2. The median and the 90% equal-tail amplitudes of ST mode are ${{ \mathcal A }}_{\mathrm{ST}}={1.29}_{-0.44}^{+0.51}\times {10}^{-15}$, or equivalently the energy density parameter per logarithm frequency is ${{\rm{\Omega }}}_{\mathrm{GW}}^{\mathrm{ST}}={2.31}_{-1.30}^{+2.19}\times {10}^{-9}$, at frequency of 1 year⁻¹. However, we do not find any statistically significant evidence for the tensor transverse (TT) mode and then place the 95% upper limits as ${{ \mathcal A }}_{\mathrm{TT}}\lt 3.95\times {10}^{-15}$, or equivalently ${{\rm{\Omega }}}_{\mathrm{GW}}^{\mathrm{TT}}\lt 2.16\times {10}^{-9}$, at frequency of 1 year⁻¹.     

Ab initio calculations of the ionization spectrum of SO2

The ionization spectrum of sulfur dioxide has been successfully studied by using the symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration-interaction （SAC-CI） general-R and SD-R methods and the basis set correlation-consistent polarized valence triple-zeta （cc-pVTZ）. The SAC-CI general-R method reproduces the experimental spectrum well for both the main peaks and the satellite peaks of ionization spectrum of SO2. The sequence of ionic states corresponding to main peaks of SO2 has been re-determined according to the SAC-CI conclusions and it is reordered as X^2A1, A^2B2, B2A2, C^2B1,D^2A1, E^2B2 and F^2A1. Besides, the equilibrium structures and adiabatic ionization potentials （AIPs） of ionic states of main peaks of SO2 are calculated by using the SAC-CI SD-R method.     

Muonic Anti-hydrogen {(\bar{\rm H}_{\mu}}) Formation in Low-energy Three-body Reactions

A few-body type computation is performed for a three-charge-particle collision with participation of a slow antiproton ${\bar{\rm{p}}}$ and a muonic muonium atom (true muonium), i.e. a bound state of two muons ${(\mu^{+}\mu^{-})}$ in its ground state. The total cross section of the following reaction ${\bar{\rm p}+(\mu^{+}\mu^{-}) \rightarrow \bar{\rm{H}}_{\mu} + \mu^{-}}$ , where muonic anti-hydrogen ${\bar{\rm{H}}_{\mu}=(\bar{\rm p}\mu^{+})}$ is a bound state of an antiproton and positive muon, is computed in the framework of a set of coupled two-component Faddeev-Hahn-type equation. A better known negative muon transfer low energy three-body reaction: ${{\rm t}^{+} + ({\rm d}^{+}\mu^{-})\rightarrow ({\rm t}^{+}\mu^{-}) + {\rm d}^{+}}$ is also computed as a test system. Here, t⁺ is triton and d⁺ is deuterium.     

Analysis of the tetraquark and hexaquark molecular states with the QCD sum rules

In this article, we construct the color-singlet-color-singlet type currents and the color-singlet-colorsinglet-color-singlet type currents to study the scalar D*■*, D*D* tetraquark molecular states and the vector D*D*■*, D*D*D* hexaquark molecular states with the QCD sum rules in details. In calculations, we choose the pertinent energy scales of the QCD spectral densities with the energy scale formula ■for the tetraquark and hexaquark molecular states respectively in a consistent way. We obtain stable QCD sum rules for the scalar D*■*, D*D*tetraquark molecular states and the vector D*D*■* hexaquark molecular state, but cannot obtain stable QCD sum rules for the vector D*D*D* hexaquark molecular state. The connected(nonfactorizable)Feynman diagrams at the tree level(or the lowest order) and their induced diagrams via substituting the quark lines make positive contributions for the scalar D*D* tetraquark molecular state, but make negative or destructive contributions for the vector D*D*D* hexaquark molecular state. It is of no use or meaningless to distinguish the factorizable and nonfactorizable properties of the Feynman diagrams in the color space in the operator product expansion so as to interpret them in terms of the hadronic observables, we can only obtain information about the short-distance and long-distance contributions.     

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.     

Diffusion of proton in alumina-rich nonstoichiometric magnesium aluminate spinel

The phenomenon of the diffusion of proton and deuteron in a single crystal of magnesium aluminate spinel was studied by infrared absorption. The chemical diffusion coefficient of proton was determined by the relaxation time of the absorption intensity upon the substitution of deuteron with proton. The temperature dependence of the chemical diffusion coefficient of proton for was expressed as . The chemical diffusion coefficient of proton was found to be independent of the composition of spinel and of the atmosphere.

Pion-induced ${K}^{* }$ production with ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* }$ baryon off proton target

In this work, the reaction ${\pi }^{-}p\to {K}^{* }{{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* }$ is investigated with an effective Lagrangian approach. The contributions from the Born terms, including the s, t, and u channel, are considered, and the Regge model and the Feynman model are applied to treat the t -channel contribution. The existing experimental data can be reproduced with the best-fitted χ ² being 2.38 and 1.54 for the Feynman and Regge models, respectively. Moreover, it is found that the contribution from the t channel is dominant in the cross-section. The contribution of the u channel is mainly distributed at backward angles, and the contribution from the s channel is small and negligible. In the Feynman model, the contribution of the t -channel K exchange is much larger than the contribution of the ${K}^{* }$ exchange, while in the Regge model the contribution of the t -channel K exchange is comparable to that of the ${K}^{* }$ exchange. Prediction about the differential cross-section of the ${\pi }^{-}p\to {K}^{* }{{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* }$ reaction is also presented, which is helpful for clarifying the role of the Regge treatment. The current results suggest high-precision experimental measurements which can be performed at J-PARC and COMPASS.     

Structure of continuous matrix product operator for transverse field Ising model: An analytic and numerical study

We study the structure of the continuous matrix product operator (cMPO)^[1] for the transverse field Ising model (TFIM). We prove TFIM's cMPO is solvable and has the form $T=\rm{e}^{-\frac{1}{2}\hat{H}_{\rm F}}$. $\hat{H}_{\rm F}$ is a non-local free fermionic Hamiltonian on a ring with circumference $\beta$, whose ground state is gapped and non-degenerate even at the critical point. The full spectrum of $\hat{H}_{\rm F}$ is determined analytically. At the critical point, our results verify the state-operator-correspondence^[2] in the conformal field theory (CFT). We also design a numerical algorithm based on Bloch state ansatz to calculate the low-lying excited states of general (Hermitian) cMPO. Our numerical calculations coincide with the analytic results of TFIM. In the end, we give a short discussion about the entanglement entropy of cMPO's ground state.     

SF_6分子最高占据轨道对称性的判断

量化计算是理论研究分子的重要手段,对于具有高对称群的分子,采用子群计算是常用的方法.分子的电子态或分子轨道等的对称性在子群的表示中会出现重迭,从而不能从子群的结果直接给出电子态或分子轨道对称性的归属.本文以如何判断SF6基态1 A_(1g)的电子组态中最高占据轨道的对称性为例来解决这个问题.针对某些文献中的SF6基态1 A1g的电子组态中,最高占据轨道对称性是T_(1g)却写成T_(2g)的问题,采用Molpro量化计算软件,对SF6基态的平衡结构,进行了HF/6-311G*计算,得到了能量三重简并的最高占据轨道的函数表达式,进而运用O_h群的对称操作作用在三个轨道函数上,得到各操作的矩阵表示,于是得到特征标,最后确定了最高占据轨道为T_(1g)对称性.     

Search for stable hadronizing squarks and gluinosin e + e- collisions up to \sqrt{s} = 209 GeV

Searches for stable, hadronizing scalar quarks and gluinos are performed using the data collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP. Gluon splitting into a gluino or a squark pair is searched for at centre-of-mass energies around the Z resonance, in the e ⁺ e^- and processes. Stable squark pair production, and stop pair production with subsequent decays into a stable gluino, , are also directly searched for at centre-of-mass energies from 183 to 209 GeV. Altogether, stable hadronizing stop (sbottom) quarks are excluded up to masses of 95 (92) , and stable hadronizing gluinos are excluded up to 26.9 , at 95% confidence level. In the framework of R-parity-conserving supersymmetric models in which the gluino and the stop quark are the two lightest supersymmetric particles, a 95% C.L. lower limit of 80 is set on the stop quark mass.Received: 23 May 2003, Published online: 24 October 2003     

Structure of Be Hyper Isotopes

The low-lying level structure of ${^{10}_\Lambda{\rm Be}}$ and ${^{12}_\Lambda{\rm Be}}$ has been studied by using the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics for hypernuclei (HyperAMD). In these hypernuclei, it is interesting to reveal the changes of excitation spectra by adding Λ hyperon, because the ground and low-lying states with different deformation coexist in ⁹Be and ¹¹Be. Based on the HyperAMD calculation, it is found that the first excited state 1/2⁺ of ⁹Be is shifted up by about 700 keV in ${^{10}_\Lambda{\rm Be}}$ . In ${^{12}_\Lambda{\rm Be}}$ , the parity-inverted ground state of ¹¹Be is reverted by adding Λ hyperon. In this article, we discuss the reason for these structure changes related to the coexistence of ground and low-lying states with different deformation.

Di-jet production in photon-photon collisionsat $\sqrt{s_{\protect\bf\mathrm{ee}}}$ from 189 to 209 GeV

Di-jet production is studied in collisions of quasi-real photons at e ⁺ e^- centre-of-mass energies from 189 to 209 GeV at LEP. The data were collected with the OPAL detector. Jets are reconstructed using an inclusive -clustering algorithm for all cross-section measurements presented. A cone jet algorithm is used in addition to study the different structure of the jets resulting from either of the algorithms. The inclusive di-jet cross-section is measured as a function of the mean transverse energy of the two leading jets, and as a function of the estimated fraction of the photon momentum carried by the parton entering the hard sub-process, , for different regions of . Angular distributions in di-jet events are measured and used to demonstrate the dominance of quark and gluon initiated processes in different regions of phase space. Furthermore the inclusive di-jet cross-section as a function of and is presented, where is the jet pseudo-rapidity. Different regions of the - -space are explored to study and control the influence of an underlying event. The results are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations and to the predictions of the leading order Monte Carlo generator PYTHIA.Received: 20 December 2002, Published online: 17 October 2003
