Non-Hermitian perturbations to the Fritzsch textures of lepton and quark mass matrices

We show that non-Hermitian and nearest-neighbor-interacting perturbations to the Fritzsch textures of lepton and quark mass matrices can make both of them fit current experimental data very well. In particular, we obtain θ₂₃?45°${\theta }_{23}?45\text{°}$ for the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and predict θ₁₃?3°${\theta }_{13}?3\text{°}$ to 6° for the smallest neutrino mixing angle when the perturbations in the lepton sector are at the 20% level. The same level of perturbations is required in the quark sector, where the Jarlskog invariant of CP violation is about 3.7×¹⁰⁻⁵$3.7\times {10}^{-5}$. In comparison, the strength of leptonic CP violation is possible to reach about 1.5×¹⁰⁻²$1.5\times {10}^{-2}$ in neutrino oscillations.     

Double beta decays and neutrino nuclear responses

Neutrino-less double beta decays (0νββ), which violate the lepton number conservation law by ΔL=2, are unique and realistic probes for studying the Majorana nature of neutrinos, the ν mass spectrum and the absolute mass scale, the lepton sector CP and others beyond the standard electro-weak theory. Neutrino nuclear responses (nuclear matrix elements M^0ν) are crucial to extract neutrino properties of the particle physics interests from experimental 0νββ rates. Subjects discussed include 0νββ processes and Majorana neutrinos, the present and future 0νββ experiments, and neutrino nuclear responses (M^0ν) and charge exchange reactions.     

Mass Measurements of 114–124,130Xe with the ISOLTRAP Penning Trap Spectrometer

The masses of the xenon isotopes with 114≤A≤123 were directly measured for the first time. The experiments were carried out at the ISOLTRAP triple trap spectrometer at the on-line mass separator ISOLDE/CERN. A mass resolving power of the Penning trap spectrometer of m/Δm≈500 000 was chosen and an accuracy of δm≈12keV for all investigated Xe isotopes was achieved. An atomic mass evaluation was performed and the results of this adjustment are compared with theoretical predictions. The new results for the xenon isotopes and their effects on neighboring nuclides are discussed within the two-neutron separation energy picture. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Electromagnetic Masses Anomaly of K*(892) in the Massive Yang-Mills Theory

Electromagnetic mass difference between neutral K^* and charged K^* has been calculated in the U(3)_L×U(3)_R chiral field theory of mesons. It has been revealed that the on-Abelian gauge structure of the massive Yang-Mills Lagrangian obeyed by K^* plus VMD (vector meson dominance) causes the EM-mass of neutral one larger than charged one. Experiment supports this anomaly effect.     

硒试剂光度法测定钢铁及加硒碘盐中的微量硒

以3,3'－二氨基联苯胺（硒试剂）作显色剂,加足量乙二胺四乙酸二钠（EDTA）掩蔽铁等金属离子,在pH为2－3的甲酸介质中显色,在pH为6－7时,用甲苯萃取硒（Ⅳ）－硒试剂络合物。当溶液中的硒（Ⅳ）含量大于20μg/10mL时,不用萃取硒（Ⅳ）-硒试剂络合物,直接测定。该方法用于钢铁及加硒碘盐中微理硒的测定,结果满意。     

Search for new isotopes of element 112 by irradiation of 238U with 48Ca

The reaction ⁴⁸Ca+²³⁸U was investigated at the recoil separator VASSILISSA at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, JINR Dubna, in attempts to synthesize new isotopes of element 112. The experiments were performed at two beam energies resulting in excitation energies of the compound nucleus of 33 and 39 MeV. The collected beam dose was 3.5 × 10¹⁸ and 2.2 × 10¹⁸, respectively. Two spontaneous fission events were observed at the lower beam energy, which tentatively were assigned to the new neutron rich isotope ²⁸³112 produced in the reaction ²³⁸U(⁴⁸Ca,3n)²⁸³112. The measured cross-section is (5.0^+6.3 _−3.2) pb and the half–life is (81⁺¹⁴⁷ ₋₃₂) s. No event was observed at the higher beam energy resulting in the upper cross–section limit of 7.3 pb.

No Tetra-proton cluster in 20Mg

Despite a recent suggestion of Chulkov, et al., we find no evidence for a tetra-proton cluster in ²⁰Mg. The binding energy and radius are easily understood without such a cluster. Received: 14 May 1999

High-precision masses of 29-33Mg and the N = 20 shell “closure”

High-precision mass measurements have been performed on the exotic magnesium isotopes ^29-33Mg using the MISTRAL radiofrequency spectrometer, especially suited for very short-lived nuclides. This method, combined with the powerful tool of resonant laser ionization at ISOLDE, has provided a significant reduction of uncertainty for the masses of the most exotic Mg isotopes: a relative error of 7×10^-7 was achieved for the weakly produced ³³Mg that has a half-life of only 90ms. Moreover, the mass of ³³Mg is found to change by over 250keV. Verifying and minimizing binding energy uncertainties in this region of the nuclear chart is important for understanding the lack of binding energy that is normally associated with magic numbers.
