Estimation of radiative capture 13B(n,γ0+1)14B reaction rate in the modified potential cluster model

We discuss current attempts to employ the modified potential cluster model to describe the available experimental data on the ¹³B(n,γ₀₊₁)¹⁴B total cross-sections.The estimated results of the M1 and E1 transitions from the n¹³B scattering states to the ground and first excited states of ¹⁴B are presented.The 1^st resonance at E_x=1.275MeV(1⁺) is revealed in both the cross-section and reaction rate.Within the var...     

Franck--Condon factors and r-Centroids for the A 1∑+u-X1∑+g Band System of 107,109Ag2: Comparison of the Observed and Calculated Absorption Band Strengths

Franck-Condon factors and r-centrolds for the, A^1 ∑^＋ u-X^1∑^＋ 9 band system of ^107,109Ag2 are computed using Morse and Rydberg-Klein-Rees potentials for both lower and upper electronic states. The differences between the two sets of results are typically in the third decimal place for transitions involving vibrational levels with ν＇ and ν＂ up to about 15. Somewhat larger deviations appear for higher vibrational levels, but both sets of results follow the same pattern, which is to match well with the relative absorption band strength distribution in our experimental spectrum. The relative absorption band strengths are calculated by assuming that the electronic transition moment has only a weak dependence on the internuclear distance r. Good agreement between our measured and calculated absorption band strength ratios is found, which provides an excellent test of the calculated Franck- Condon factors and relative absorption band strengths. The r-centrold value for the （ν＇ = 0, ν＂ = 0） band is found to be approximately equal to the average value of r＇ and r＇＇e , indicating that the potentials of both states are not significantly aaharmonic around their minimum regions.     

Three-Body Recombination of Cold 3He–3He–T- System

The atom-atom-anion three-body recombination(TBR) and collision induced dissociation(CID) processes of the ³He–³He–T^- system at ultracold temperatures are investigated by solving the Schr¨odinger equation in the adiabatic hyperspherical representation. The variations of the TBR and CID rates with the collision energies in the ultracold temperatures are obtained. It is found that the J^Π= 1^- symmetry dominates the TBR and CID processes in most...     

Isospin-conserving hadronic decay of the Ds1(2460) into Dsπ+π-

The internal structure of the charm-strange mesons D_s0^*(2317) and D_s1(2460) are the subject of intensive studies.Their widths are small because they decay dominantly through isospinbreaking hadronic channels D_s0^*(2317)⁺→D_s⁺π⁰ and D_s1(2460)⁺→D_s^*+π⁰.The D_s1(2460) can also decay into the hadronic final states D_s⁺ππ...     

Weak decays of doubly heavy baryons:Bcc→BD*

The discovery of Ξ_cc⁺⁺has inspired new interest in studying doubly heavy baryons.In this study,the weak decays of a doubly charmed baryon B_ccto a light baryon B and a charm meson D^*(either a pseudoscalar or a vector one)are calculated.Following our previous work,we calculate the short distance contributions under the factorization hypothesis,whereas the long distance contributions are modeled as the final state interactions,which are calculated with the one particle exchange model.We find that the B_cc→BD^*decays'branching ratios are obviously larger,as they receive contributions of more polarization states.Among the decays that we investigate,the following have the largest branching fractions:BR(Ξ_cc⁺⁺→∑⁺D^*+)∈[0.46%,3.33%]estimated with τΞ_cc⁺⁺=256 fs;BR(Ξ_cc⁺→AD^*+)∈[0.38%,2.63%]and BR(Ξ_cc⁺→∑⁰D^*+)∈[0.45%,3.16%]with τΞ_cc⁺⁺=45 fs;and BR(Ω_cc⁺→Ξ⁰D⁺)∈[0.27%,1.03%),BR(Ω_cc⁺→∑⁰D^*+)∈[0.07%,0.44%],and BR(Ω_cc⁺→∑⁰D^*+)∈[0.06%,0.45%] with τ_(Ω_cc)⁺=75 fs.By comparing the decay widths of pure color commensurate channels with those of pure bow-tie ones we find that the bow-tie mechanism plays an important role in charm decays.     

Analysis of the excited Ωc states as the 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 suscu with J^p=1/2^±.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 suscu with J^p=1/2^- can be possible candidates of the excited states observed in the LHCb collaboration.     

CP asymmetry from the resonance effect of the B meson decay process with π and K final states

We present the novel V→K⁺K^-(V=φ,ρ,ω) resonance,which generates a strong phase associated with vector meson resonances,leading to significant CP asymmetry in the interference region.The φ→K⁺K^-,ρ→K⁺K^-,and ω→K⁺K^-resonances arise from the mixing of the vector mesons φ,ρ,and ω.We calculate the CP asymmetry from the decay mode of B→ KKπ(K).Meanwhile,the localized CP asymmetries are presented and a detailed analysis...     

Magnetic and quadrupole moments of the Zc(4020)+,Zc(4050)+,and Zc(4600)+ states in the diquark-antidiquark picture

The magnetic and quadrupole moments of the Z_c(4020)⁺,Z_c(4050)⁺,and Z_c(4600)⁺ states are calculated within the QCD light-cone sum rules.The compact diquark-antidiquark interpolating currents and the distribution amplitudes of the on-shell photon are used to extract the magnetic and quadrupole moments of these states.The magnetic moments are acquired as μ_Zc=0.50_-0.22^+0.22μ_N,μ     

Multiple Auger Decay Following Xe+(4p3−1/2)Ionization

The Auger decay for the many-electron Xe+(4p3^?1/2)state is studied in detail,using multistep approaches.It is found that the single Auger decay channels are primarily Coster–Kronig processes,which is in accord with other theoretical and experimental results.The double and triple Auger decays result primarily from cascade processes,i.e.,the sequential two-step and three-step Auger decay,and as such,the contributions from direct processes can be neglected.Level-to-level rates for single,double,and triple decays are obtained,based on which comprehensive Auger electron spectra and ion yields are obtained.Our decay paths and Auger electron spectra are in agreement with the experimental analysis[Hikosaka et al.,Phys.Rev.A 76(2007)032708],and our ion yield ratios(Xe²⁺:Xe³⁺:Xe⁴⁺=4.6:87.0:8.4)are also in line with their values(5.0:86.0:9.0).However,with respect to the ion yield ratios,a discrepancy still remains among the experimental and theoretical results.Taking into account the complexity of Xe’s electronic structure,further,more detailed experiments are still required.     

OPTICAL-OPTICAL DOUBLE-RESONANCE EXCITATION SPECTRA OF THE (6d)1Πg, (7d)1Πg HIGH-LYING RYDBERG STATES IN Na2

Two ¹Π_g states of Na₂ for v≤13 have been observed by using optical-optical double resonance (OODR) fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The intermediate levels in B¹Π_u state are identified by the numerical calculations with the molec-ular constants for B¹Π_u←X¹Σ_g⁺ transitions and confirmed by the complemen-tary A¹Σ_g⁺←X¹Σ_g⁺ polarization spectra. Absolute vibrational numberings of the (6d)¹Π_g and (7d)¹Π_g states are determined by comparing the experimental OODR excitation intensities with the simulated Franck-Condon factors. The Dnnham coef-ficients and the Rydberg-Klein-Rees (RKR) potential energy curves of the (6d)¹Π_g, (7d)¹Π_g states are reported.     

High-K multi-particle bands and pairing reduction in 254No

The multi-particle states and rotational properties of the two-particle bands in 254No are investigated by the cranked shell model with pairing correlations treated by the particle number conserving method.The rotational bands on top of the two-particle K^π=3^+,8^− and 10^+ states and the pairing reduction are studied theoretically in 254No for the first time.The experimental excitation energies and moments of inertia of the multi-particle states are reproduced well by the calculations.Better agreement with the data is achieved by including the high-order deformation ε6,which leads to enlarged Z=100 and N=152 deformed shell gaps.An increase of J¹ in these two-particle bands compared with the ground state band is attributed to the pairing reduction due to the Pauli blocking effect.     

High accuracy calculation of the hydrogen negative ion in strong magnetic fields

Using a full configuration-interaction method with Hylleraas-Gaussian basis function, this paper investigates the 1¹0⁺, 1¹(–1)⁺ and 1¹(–2)⁺ states of the hydrogen negative ion in strong magnetic fields. The total energies, electron detachment energies and derivatives of the total energy with respect to the magnetic field are presented as functions of magnetic field over a wide range of field strengths. Compared with the available theoretical data, the accuracy for the energies is enhanced significantly. The field regimes 3 < γ < 4 and 0.02 < γ < 0.05, in which the 1¹(–1)⁺ and 1¹(–2)⁺ states start to become bound, respectively, are also determined based on the calculated electron detachment energies.

Exotic ΩΩ dibaryon states in a molecular picture

We investigate the exotic ΩΩ dibaryon states with J^P=0⁺and 2⁺in a molecular picture.We construct a tensorΩΩmolecular interpolating current and calculate the two-point correlation function within the method of QCD sum rules.Our calculations indicate that the masses of the scalar and tensor dibaryon states are mΩΩ,0⁺=(3.33±0.51)GeV and mΩΩ,2⁺=(3.15±0.33)GieV,respectively,which are below the 2mΩthreshold.Within error,these results do not negate the existence of loosely bound molecularΩΩdibaryon states.These exotic strangeness S=-6 and doubly-chargedΩΩdibaryons,if they exist,may be identified in heavy-ion collision processes in the fu-ture.     

Time-dependent theoretical approach to the influence of laser fields on the resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization of SH radical

This paper reports that the (2+1) resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization spectra of SH radical in external fields are simulated using the split-operator scheme of time-dependent wave-packet method. Two ionic states, i.e.~a¹Δ and b¹∑⁺, are involved in the simulation. It gives the simulated photoelectron spectra, the population in each electronic state, as well as the projection of the wave-packet in each electronic state on different vibrational states. These results show that the so-called four-state model can represent the experimental results well.     

Reconciliation of Theoretical Lifetimes of the 5s5p3P2o Metastable State for 88Sr with Measurement: The Role of the Blackbody-Radiation-Induced Decay

The present lifetime τ = 830_-240⁺⁶⁰⁰s,measured using the magneto-optical trap as a photon amplifier to detect the weak decay events, is approximately60% larger than the previous experimental value τ = 520_-140⁺³¹⁰s. By considering the electron correlation effec...     

Doubly heavy tetraquarks in an extended chromomagnetic model

Using an extended chromomagnetic model,we perform a systematic study of the masses of doubly heavy tetraquarks.We find that the ground states of the doubly heavy tetraquarks are dominated by the color-triplet ■configuration,which is opposite to that of fully heavy tetraquarks.The combined results suggest that the color-triplet configuration becomes more important when the mass difference between the quarks and antiquarks increases.We find three stable states that lie below the thresholds of two pseudoscalar mesons.They are the I^P=01⁺nnbb tetraquark,I^P=1⁺nncb tetraquark,and J^P=1⁺nsbb tetraquark.     

ASYMMETRY PARAMETERS AND DIFFERENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS FOR PHOTOIONIZATION-EXCITATION OF HELIUM

Asymmetry parameter β₂ for photoionization of helium leaving the He⁺ ion in the n=2 level and differential cross sections(DCSs) in the n=2,3,4 levels with photon emission angle θ=90⁰ are provided at photon energies 69-76.8 eV employing the R-matrix method with a 20-term target representation, in which five polarization orbitals \bar{6}l are included. The asymmetry parameter β₂ and the DCS, in the n=2 level in the region of 69-73 eV, are in good agreement with available experimental and theoretical results. Above the n=3 threshold, we present new theoretical results along with measurements. No theoretical and experimental results can be used to compare with the present calculations of the DCSs for photoionization into the He⁺ ion in the n=3,4 levels.
