Effects of pseudoscalar-baryon channels in the dynamically generated vector-baryon resonances

We study the interaction of vector mesons with the octet of stable baryons in the framework of the local hidden gauge formalism using a coupled-channels unitary approach, including also the pseudoscalar-baryon channels which couple to the same quantum numbers. We examine the scattering amplitudes and their poles, which can be associated to the known J ^P = 1/2⁻, 3/2⁻ baryon resonances, and determine the role of the pseudoscalar-baryon channels, changing the width and eventually the mass of the resonances generated with only the basis of vector-baryon states.     

Magnetic moments of the low lying negative parity Λ resonances

We calculate the magnetic moments of the low lying negative-parity J ^P = 1/2^?, 3/2^? Λ resonances within the framework of chiral constituent quark model. The explicit contribution coming from the valence and sea quarks are being calculated.     

An su (6)w fit to the negative parity baryon decay rates

We present a least squares fit to the experimental data on decays of negative parity baryon resonances into a pseudoscalar meson and either a J^P = 1/2⁺ stable baryon or a J^P = 3/2⁺ decuplet member. We find that the s-waves and d-waves are separately in good agreement with the predictions of SU (6)_w ⊗ O(2)_Lz. Predictions are given regarding several as yet unobserved decay processes, and for those which concern hitherto undetected resonances, their possible detection is discussed.     

Photoproduction of η and η' mesons off nucleons close to threshold

The importance of Born terms and resonance exchange for η and η' photoproduction off both the proton and neutron within U(3) baryon chiral perturbation theory is investigated. Low-lying resonances such as the vector mesons and J ^P = 1/2⁺, 1/2^- baryon resonances are included explicitly and their contributions together with the Born terms are calculated. The coupling constants of the resonances are determined from strong and radiative decays. We obtain reasonable agreement with experimental data near threshold.

A coupled-channels treatment of the positive-parity resonances in4He

The coupled-channels formalism, which has been previously applied successfully to interpret the negative-parity resonances in⁴He, has now been extended to the positiveparity 2?ω resonances in this system. The 1p-1h approach has been modified to include coupling to the 2p-2h configurations, which also belong to 2?ω excitations, by using the effective operator formalism. The effect of the Pauli term in thes-wave channel is examined and is found to be important in reproducing the 0⁺,T=0 resonance energy and width. Resonances with spins up toJ ^π=3⁺ have been studied, and the agreement with available data is satisfactory. In particular, from the good fit to the asymmetry coefficientβ(E), one establishes the presence of a 2⁺,T=0 resonance around 35-MeV excitation in the system.     

���Ѧ� Interaction Leading to N* and ��* Resonances

We have performed a calculation for the three-body ????? system by using the fixed center approximation to Faddeev equations, taking the interaction between ?? and ??, ?? and ??, and ?? and ?? from the chiral unitary approach. We find several peaks in the modulus squared of the three-body scattering amplitude, indicating the existence of resonances, which can be associated to known I?=?1/2, 3/2 and J ^P ?=?1/2⁺, 3/2⁺ and 5/2⁺ baryon states.     

Meson-baryon s-wave resonances with strangeness -3

Starting from a consistent SU(6) extension of the Weinberg-Tomozawa (WT) meson-baryon chiral Lagrangian ( Phys. Rev. D 74, 034025 (2006)), we study the s-wave meson-baryon resonances in the strangeness S = - 3 and negative-parity sectors. Those resonances are generated by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation with the WT interaction used as kernel. The considered mesons are those of the 35-SU(6)-plet, which includes the pseudoscalar (PS) octet of pions and the vector (V) nonet of the rho-meson. For baryons we consider the 56-SU(6)-plet, made of the 1/2⁺ octet of the nucleon and the 3/2⁺ decuplet of the Delta. Quantum numbers I(J ^P) = 0(3/2^-) are suggested for the experimental resonances Ω ^*(2250)^- and Ω ^*(2380)^-. Among other, resonances with I = 1 are found, which minimal quark content is sssˉl', being s the strange quark and l, l' any of the the light up or down quarks. A clear signal for such a pentaquark would be a baryonic resonance with strangeness -3 and electric charge -2 or 0, in proton charge units. We suggest looking for K ^- Ξ ^- resonances with masses around 2100 and 2240MeV in the sector 1(1/2^-), and for π ^± Ω ^- and K ^- Ξ ^*- resonances with masses around 2260MeV in the sector 1(3/2^-).     

Non-diffractive production of meson resonances

We study the peripheral cross sections of resonances that cannot be produced by π-exchange. In particular, we concentrate on the four meson nonets expected as L = 1 quark states (i.e., the J^P = 0⁺π_N(980); J^P = 1⁺ A₁, B; J^P = 2⁺ A₂). We use SU(3), Regge poles, factorization, exchange degeneracy, pole extrapolation, and the vector-meson-photon analogy. We predict the cross sections in both photoproduction and non-diffractive hadronic reactions. In passing, we discuss the large unnatural-parity (B, K?Q_B) exchange contributions and even the possibility of studying ππ → πω while avoiding the B production background.     

Mixing of the lowest-lying qqq configurations with J~P=1/2~- in different hyperfine interaction models

We investigate mixing of the lowest-lying qqq configurations with J~P=1/2~-caused by the hyperfine interactions between quarks mediated by Goldstone Boson Exchange,One Gluon Exchange,and both Goldstone Boson and One Gluon exchange,respectively.The first orbitally excited nucleon,Σ,ΛandΞstates are considered.Contributions of both the contact term and tensor term are taken into account.Our numerical results show that mixing of the studied configurations in the two employed hyperfine interaction models are very different.Therefore,the present results,which should affect the strong and electromagnetic decays of baryon resonances,may be used to examine the present employed hyperfine interaction models.     

Laser-induced effects for overlapping autoinoizing rydberg states of xenon

The effect of a laser field on the cross section of photoionization of an atom by probe radiation in the region of closely lying autoionizing resonances is studied theoretically. The cross sections in the region of the overlapping autoionizing Rydberg states 5p ⁵(² P _1/2)6d′ J = 1 and 5p ⁵(² P _1/2)8s′ J = 1 resonantly coupled with the discrete state 5p ⁵(² P _3/2)7p[1/2]₁ in the xenon atom are calculated. The behavior of the shape and position of resonances in relation to the frequency and intensity of laser radiation is studied.     

The N*(1710) as a resonance in the ππN system

We study the ππN system by solving the Faddeev equations, for which the input two-body t-matrices are obtained by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the coupled-channel formalism. The potentials for the ππ, πN sub-systems and their coupled channels are obtained from chiral Lagrangians, which have been earlier used to study resonances in these systems successfully. In this work, we find a resonance in the ππN system with a mass of 1704 ? i375/2MeV and with quantum numbers I = 1/2, J ^π = 1/2⁺. We identify this state with the N ^*(1710). This peak is found where the energies of the ππ sub-system fall in the region of the σ-resonance. We do not find evidence for the Roper resonance in our study indicating a more complex structure for this resonance, nor for any state with total isospin I = 3/2 or 5/2.     

Nuclear viscosity and widths of giant resonances

We write down a set of coupled hydrodynamic equations of the Navier-Stokes type which describe the motion of two compressible, viscous nuclear fluids. The solutions of these equations give rise to giant resonances of both isoscalar and isovector type. The viscosity terms in the equations are responsible for the damping of these resonances. Within this framework we obtain expressions for the width of the resonances as a function of the mass number A, and relations between the widths and the excitation energies for various multipolarities (J = 0⁺, 1^?, 2⁺, 3^?, 4⁺), and isospins (T = 0,1). The A dependence of the calculated widths exhibit the experimental trends of the giant dipole and isoscalar quadrupole widths. Also, as a result of the calculation we obtain estimates of the values of viscosity coefficients in nuclei.     

Study of the 19F(p, γ)20Ne radiative capture reaction from 0.2–1.2 MeV

The ¹⁹F(p, γ)²⁰Ne radiative capture reaction has been investigated for proton energies of 0.2–1.2 MeV. Excitation functions of γ-rays arising from capture reactions have been measured and the properties of known J^π = J^?J+1 resonances were studied. From the branching ratio and angular distribution measurements, the partial widths for gamma ray and proton emission of the 13.88 MeV level in ²⁰Ne were obtained, and J^π = 2⁺, T = 1 assignments for this resonance at E_P = 1091keV were made. Lower upper limit for the total width Γ = 0.8 keV has been obtained.     

Amino wagging and inversion in hydrazine: K′ = 1 levels in the first excited state of the antisymmetric wagging vibration

The infrared absorption spectrum of NH₂NH₂ vapor has been observed in the region 899–1077 cm^?1, where the antisymmetric wagging band (v_a = 1 ← 0) appears, by the use of a Fourier transform spectrometer with a practical resolution of 0.003 cm^?1. In the region 925.0–925.6 cm^?1, the spectrum was also observed with a tunable diode laser, and a component, β, of the ^pQ₂ cluster has been further resolved. Most of the absorption lines assignable to β-^pP₂(J″), γ-^pP₂(J″), β-^pQ₂(J″), γ-^rQ₀(J″), β-^rR₀(J″), and γ-^rR₀(J″), where J″ = 2 ～ 15, have been identified. From these observed transition frequencies, in combination with the ground state energy levels given by microwave spectroscopy, the energy level structure of the K′ = 1 rotational states was determined. From this, the following molecular parameters for the v_a = 1 state were determined: molecular asymmetry, B′-C″ = 0.00017 cm^?1; a parameter q₅ describing an umbrella motion Coriolis interaction (q₅K) about the a axis, q₅ = ?0.0030 cm^?1; its J(J + 1) variation, q_5j = 0.00014 cm^?1; and a parameter describing an umbrella-motion K-type doubling g₅J(J + 1), g₅ = 0.000021 cm^?1.

Luminescence spectroscopy of rare earth-doped oxychloride lead borate glasses

Ln-doped oxychloride lead borate glasses were studied using luminescence spectroscopy. Rare earth ions were limited to trivalent Pr³⁺, Tm³⁺, Eu³⁺ and Er³⁺. Luminescence spectra were registered, which correspond to ³P₀-³H₄ and ¹D₂-³H₄ transitions of Pr³⁺, ¹G₄-³H₅ and ¹G₄-³F₄ transitions of Tm³⁺, ⁵D₀-⁷F_J (J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions of Eu³⁺ and ⁴S_3/2,²H_11/2-⁴I_15/2 and ⁴I_13/2-⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺. Luminescence decays from the excited states of Ln³⁺ ions were analyzed in detail. The experimental results indicate that relatively high phonon energy of the host gives important contribution to the excited state relaxation of rare earth ions.

Monte Carlo calculations of angular momentum projected many-body matrix elements in the Pairing Plus Quadrupole Model

We extend the recently presented formalism for Monte Carlo calculations of the partition function, for both even and odd particle number systems (Phys. Rev. C 59, 2500 (1999)), to the calculation of many-body matrix elements of the type <ψ| e ^{- βℋ}|ψ> where |ψ> is a many-body state with a definite angular momentum, parity, neutron and proton numbers. For large β such matrix elements are dominated by the lowest eigenstate of the many-body Hamiltonian ℋ, corresponding with a given angular momentum parity and particle number. Emphasis is placed on odd-mass nuclei. Negligible sign fluctuations in the Monte Carlo calculation are found provided the neutron and proton chemical potentials are properly adjusted. The formalism is applied to the J ^π = 0⁺ state in ¹⁶⁶ Er and to the J ^π = 9/2^-, 13/2⁺, 5/2^- states in ¹⁶⁵ Er using the pairing-plus-quadrupole model.
