Searching for exotic states in the N pi K system
2009
We study the N pi K system in order to investigate the possibility of existence of strangeness +1 resonance(s). The formalism consists of solving the Faddeev equations with the N pi, pi K and KN t-matrices obtained from chiral dynamics. The same formalism, which leads to the finding of several 1/2(+) resonances in the corresponding three-body S = -1 channels in the 1400-2000 MeV energy region, results into only one broad bump around 1700 MeV with isospin 0. The amplitudes in isospin 1 and 2 configuration do not have any resonant structure. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.
Measurement of the t-channel single top-quark production cross section in pp collisions at s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
2012
We report a measurement of the cross section of single top-quark production in the t-channel using 1.04 fb -1 of pp collision data at s=7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Selected e ...
Evidence for s-channel single top quark production in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96 TeV
2013
We present measurements of the cross sections for the two main production modes of single top quarks in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV in the Run II data collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.7 fb(-1). The s-channel cross section is measured to be sigma(p (p) over bar -> tb + X) = 1.10(-0.31)(+0.33) pb with no assumptions on the value of the t-channel cross section. Similarly, the t-channel cross section is measured to be sigma(p (p) over bar -> tqb + X) = 3.07(-0.49)(+0.54) pb. We also measure the s + t combined cross section as sigma(p (p) over bar -> tb + X, tqb + X) = 4.11(-0.55)(+0.60) ph and set…
New determination of double-β-decay properties in48Ca: High-precisionQββ-value measurement and improved nuclear matrix element calculations
2014
We report a direct measurement of the Q-value of the neutrinoless double-beta-decay candidate 48Ca at the TITAN Penning-trap mass spectrometer, with the result that Q = 4267.98(32) keV. We measured the masses of both the mother and daughter nuclides, and in the latter case found a 1 keV deviation from the literature value. In addition to the Q-value, we also present results of a new calculation of the neutrinoless double-beta-decay nuclear matrix element of 48Ca. Using diagrammatic many-body perturbation theory to second order to account for physics outside the valence space, we constructed an effective shell-model double-beta-decay operator, which increased the nuclear matrix element by ab…
Universal features of the nuclear matrix elements governing the mass sector of the 0νββ decay
2005
In this work we report on manifest universal features found in the nuclear matrix elements which govern the mass sector of the neutrinoless double beta decay. The results are based on the analysis of the calculated matrix elements corresponding to the decays of 76Ge, 82Se, 100Mo, and 116Cd. The results suggest a dominance of few low-lying nuclear states of few multipoles in these matrix elements. Dedicated charge-exchange reactions could be used to probe these key states to determine experimentally the value of the nuclear matrix element.
Invarianzgruppen von Bewegungsgleichungen mit Kommutatorring
1967
An attempt to describe particles by hermitian operators obeying commutator relations leads to a ring of sixteen elements to be represented by matrices of infinite rank. Equations of motion containing elements of the ring are shown to be invariant under charge-conjugation, time-reversal and inhomogeneous Lorentz transformations. Analogs to Pauli- and Gursey-transformations can also be defined and may be used to introduce isospin and helicity.
Magnetic Hexadecapole γ Transitions and Neutrino-Nuclear Responses in Medium-Heavy Nuclei
2016
Neutrino-nuclear responses in the form of squares of nuclear matrix elements, NMEs, are crucial for studies of neutrino-induced processes in nuclei. In this work we investigate magnetic hexadecapole (M4) NMEs in medium-heavy nuclei. The experimentally derived NMEs,MEXP(M4), deduced from observed M4γtransition half-lives are compared with the single-quasiparticle (QP) NMEs,MQP(M4), and the microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model (MQPM) NMEsMMQPM(M4). The experimentally derived M4 NMEs are found to be reduced by a coefficientk≈0.29with respect toMQP(M4) and byk≈0.33with respect toMMQPM(M4). The M4 NMEs are reduced a little by the quasiparticle-phonon correlations of the MQPM wave functions but…
Double charge exchange reactions as a probe for neutrinoless double beta decay nuclear matrix elements
2020
Abstract The formalism to describe heavy-ion double charge exchange (DCE) processes in the eikonal and small-momentum transfer approximations introduced in Phys. Rev. C 98, 061601(R) (2018) is briefly discussed. It is also shown that, under the previous approximations, the heavy-ion DCE cross-section can be factorized in terms of a reaction and a nuclear part. A double charge exchange effective potential is explicitly derived in the closure approximation and also for the first time the explicit form of the DCE nuclear matrix elements, that are of the form of double Gamow-Teller and double Fermi. The recent hypothesis of a linear correlation between double Gamow-Teller neutrinoless double be…
Nuclear matrix elements and the neutrinoless double beta decay
2005
Systematics of the nuclear matrix elements related to the neutrinoless double beta ( 0 ν β β ) decay are discussed. The calculation of the related nuclear matrix elements in the framework of the proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) is analyzed. In particular, the extraction of a proper value of the proton-neutron particle-particle interaction parameter in this theory is addressed. The relevance of different multipoles in the multipole decomposition of the 0 ν β β matrix element is also discussed.
