2010

We clarify the relationship between the conclusions of the previous Comment of A. Helfer and that of our Brief Report.

Thermal history and structure of rotating protoneutron stars with relativistic equation of state

1999

We study the properties of general relativistic, slowly rotating, protoneutron stars. We explore the structure of rotating protoneutron stars with a wide range of the entropy per baryon, the lepton fraction and the baryonic mass in order to study the evolutionary history of protoneutron stars during the cooling epoch. We adopt the relativistic equation of state for dense matter derived within the relativistic mean field theory, which is based on the microscopic nuclear many-body framework, and checked by the experimental data of many nuclei. We provide broad information on the effect of rotation, temperature and lepton trapping of protoneutron stars with various baryonic masses. The evoluti…

Baryon Properties with Three-Quark Forces

1987

The Constituent Quark Model (CQM) is very useful for the description of many baryon properties, leading to a fair agreement with the experimental data, especially in the case of the baryon spectrum 1) and of the electromagnetic processes involving baryons2,3). The model is based on a non relativistic QCD-inspired dynamics, which includes a confinement potential and a spin-dependent short-range part, the so called hyperfine interaction4,1). The confinement potential contains as its major part a harmonic oscillator (h.o.) interaction, which has however a too degenerate spectrum with respect to the experimental one and leads to an unreasonable damping of the form factors even at moderate momen…

Towards a novel energy density functional for beyond-mean-field calculations with pairing and deformation

2018

We take an additional step towards the optimization of the novel finite-range pseudopotential at constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov level and implement an optimization procedure within an axial code using harmonic oscillator basis. We perform the optimization using three different numbers of the harmonic oscillator shells. We apply the new parameterizations in the O-Kr part of the nuclear chart and isotopic chain of Sn, and we compare the results with experimental values and those given by a parameterization obtained using a spherical code.

Mott insulator: Tenth-order perturbation theory extended to infinite order using a quantum Monte Carlo scheme

2005

We present a method based on the combination of analytical and numerical techniques within the framework of the dynamical mean-field theory. Building upon numerically exact results obtained in an improved quantum Monte Carlo scheme, tenth-order strong-coupling perturbation theory for the Hubbard model on the Bethe lattice is extrapolated to infinite order. We obtain continuous estimates of energy $E$ and double occupancy $D$ with unprecedented precision $\mathcal{O}({10}^{\ensuremath{-}5})$ for the Mott insulator above its stability edge ${U}_{c1}\ensuremath{\approx}4.78$ as well as critical exponents. The relevance for recent experiments on Cr-doped ${\mathrm{V}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ is po…

Analytical and numerical analysis of the atom–field dynamics in non-stationary cavity QED

2011

We study analytically and numerically the dynamics of the quantum non-stationary system composed of a two-level atom interacting with a single mode cavity field whose frequency is rapidly modulated in time (with a small amplitude). We identify modulation laws resulting in qualitatively different dynamical regimes and we present analytical solutions in some simple cases. In particular, we analyse minutely the influence of the field–atom coupling on the photon generation from vacuum via the dynamical Casimir effect.

η−η′(−glue) Mixing from the Chiral Lagrangian

2010

The η − η ′ mixing from the chiral Lagrangian is reviewed. It is shown how the Feldman-Kroll-Stech ansazt can be derived from the chiral Lagrangian. The inclusion of the glueball is also discussed.

Improved description of the pion-nucleon scattering phenomenology in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory

2014

We highlight some of the recent advances in the application of chiral effective field theory (chiral EFT) with baryons to the $\pi N$ scattering process. We recall some problems that cast doubt on the applicability of chiral EFT to $\pi N$ and show how the relativistic formalism, once the $\Delta(1232)$-resonance is included as an explicit degree of freedom, solves these issues. Finally it is shown how this approach can be used to extract the $\sigma$-terms from phenomenological information.

Nucleon Pairing and Seniority

2007

Until now we have been dealing with particle and hole aspects of nuclear structure. In this second part of the book we go farther away from a closed major shell. Still near the beginning or end of a major shell we encounter vibrational, spherical open-shell nuclei that cannot be described in terms of a few particles or holes. Farther towards the middle of the shell the spherical shape will give way to permanent deformation signalled by rotational bands analogous to those of diatomic molecules. Microscopic description of such nuclei requires a deformed mean field as the starting point. Deformed nuclei will not be considered in any detail in this book.

Classical Field Theory of Gravitation

2012

The classical field theories developed in the preceding chapters all have in common that they are formulated on a flat spacetime, i.e. on a four-manifold which is a Euclidean space and which locally is decomposable into a direct product M 4 = ℝR3 ℝR of a physical space ℝR3 x of motions, and a time axis ℝRt. The first factor is the threedimensional space as it is perceived by an observer at rest while the time axis displays the (coordinate) time that he/she measures on his/her clocks. This spacetime is endowed with the Poincare group as the invariance group of physical laws and inherits the corresponding specific causality structure.
