Unitarity constraint for threshold coherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron
1997
The contribution of the two-step process {gamma}d{r_arrow}pn{r_arrow}{pi}{sup 0}d to the imaginary part of the amplitude for coherent pion production on the deuteron is calculated at threshold exploiting unitarity constraints. The result shows that this absorptive process is not negligible and has to be considered in an extraction of the elementary neutron production amplitude from the {gamma}d{r_arrow}{pi}{sup 0}d cross section at threshold. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
Density as a constraint and the separation of internal excitation energy in TDHF
1985
We present a fast and efficient constrained Hartree-Fock iteration scheme which constraints the complete density distribution to remain constant. The scheme is particularly suited to a coordinate- or momentum-space representation. The technique is applied to separate the collective and the internal energy in a propagating TDHF state. We study the behavior of these two energies in an16O+16O collision.
Interaction strength and shape difference for the h9/2 and h11/2 configurations in163Tm
1991
The strongly shape driving πh9/2[541]l/2− configuration with α=+1/2 exhibits some anomalous, and so far unexplained, features concerning the crossing frequency, ħωc, the aligned angular momentum, ix, and interaction strength, at the alignment of the first pair of i13/2 quasineutrons in several odd-Z rare earth-nuclei. The h9/2[541]1/2− and h11/2[523]7/2− bands have been studied in the stably deformed rare-earth nucleus163Tm to investigate these features. A difference in band crossing frequency of ∼ 80 keV between the two bands is found. Rotational bands built on these two configurations have been found to cross in the spin range I=25/2–29/2 ħ. Theγ-decay pattern between the two bands is est…
High-spin levels in 63 145 Eu82
1996
The level scheme of theN=82 nucleus145Eu has been extended toI=(55/2) andEx=11.2 MeV in an experiment with the Tessa Compton-suppressed Ge detector array using the127I(22Ne,4n) reaction. Most of the complicated and irregular level scheme of145Eu can be interpreted as proton multi-quasiparticle states in comparison to the64146Gd82 core nucleus but also excitations across the neutronN=82 core have been observed.
Scaled factorial moments and split-bin correlation functions. A thermodynamic model comparison
1991
Abstract We compare the scaled factorial moments to the recently proposed split-bin correlation functions, using the thermodynamic model for heavy ion collisions that was recently demonstrated to exhibit power-law growth of the scaled factorial moments as a function of bin size. We find that the split-bin correlation functions are superior for experimental use, as they are intensitive to fictitious correlations due to limited resolving power. In addition, after correction for non-flat single-particle distributions, the split-bin correlation functions provide an unambiguous signal for correlations. As a result, they may provide more powerful evidence for new phenomena like fractal structure …
Electromagnetic mass difference of pions at low temperature
1999
We compute low temperature corrections to the electromagnetic mass difference of pions in the chiral limit. The computation is done in a model independent way in the framework of chiral perturbation theory, using the background field method and the hard thermal loop approximation. We also generalize at low temperature the sum rule of Das et al. We find that the mass difference between the charged and neutral pions decreases at low temperature $T$ with respect to the T=0 value. This is so in spite of the fact that charged particles always get a thermal correction to their masses of order $\sim eT$, where $e$ is the gauge coupling constant. Our result can be understood as a consequence of the…
Antimony-121 Mössbauer spectra of organoantimony derivatives containing Sb-Sb bonds
1994
121-Sb Mossbauer data are reported for a number of organoantimony rings and catena-stibanes. These compounds are representative of RSb(Sb)2 and R2SbSb type of coordination, and spectral parameters are compared and discussed in relation to RSbCl2 and R2SbCl systems. Although the trend in isomer shift is similar, the present compounds show slightly less negative isomer shift values together with a remarkable reduction of the quadrupolar coupling constant. A rationalization of the quadrupolar interaction in the above series of compounds appears feasible by using point charge model calculations whose results, in terms of bonding, indicate a large contribution of p-electron density along Sb-Sb b…
Radiative muon capture and the value of gP in nuclei
1990
Abstract Radiative muon capture by nuclei is analyzed by means of sum rule techniques, providing a total photon yield calculated with RPA precision. The measured yields relative to the ordinary muon capture rate are well reproduced for the nuclei 12C, 16O and 40Ca using a value of the pseudoscalar weak coupling constant gP enhanced by only 25% with respect to its canonical value. Therefore, the large renormalization of gP claimed up to now must be reconsidered.
Infrared renormalization of two-loop integrals and the chiral expansion of the nucleon mass
2007
We describe details of the renormalization of two-loop integrals relevant to the calculation of the nucleon mass in the framework of manifestly Lorentz-invariant chiral perturbation theory using infrared renormalization. It is shown that the renormalization can be performed while preserving all relevant symmetries, in particular chiral symmetry, and that renormalized diagrams respect the standard power counting rules. As an application we calculate the chiral expansion of the nucleon mass to order O(q^6).
Path integral quantization for massive vector bosons
2010
A parity-conserving and Lorentz-invariant effective field theory of self-interacting massive vector fields is considered. For the interaction terms with dimensionless coupling constants the canonical quantization is performed. It is shown that the self-consistency condition of this system with the second-class constraints in combination with the perturbative renormalizability leads to an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with an additional mass term.
