Evidence for the flavor singlet axial anomaly related effects in phi meson electromagnetic production at large momentum transfers
2001
The gluonic contributions to the conventional PCAC formulas due to flavor singlet axial anomaly have been instrumental in explaining the mass of the $\eta^{\prime}$ and providing a plausible explanation for solving the spin crisis. We show that they also play an important role in the description of photo- and electroproduction of vector mesons at low energy and high momentum transfers. We calculate the contributions of this type to $\phi$ meson electromagnetic production in a model, which contains also a soft pomeron, and find agreement with recent CLAS data.
Renormalization of the weak hadronic current in the nuclear medium
2000
The renormalization of the weak charge-changing hadronic current as a function of the reaction energy release is studied at the nucleonic level. We have calculated the average quenching factors for each type of current (vector, axial vector and induced pseudoscalar). The obtained quenching in the axial vector part is, at zero momentum transfer, 19% for the sd shell and 23% in the fp shell. We have extended the calculations also to heavier systems such as $^{56}$Ni and $^{100}$Sn, where we obtain stronger quenchings, 44% and 59%, respectively. Gamow--Teller type transitions are discussed, along with the higher order matrix elements. The quenching factors are constant up to roughly 60 MeV mom…
Status of a hybrid three-neutrino interpretation of neutrino data
2001
We reanalyze the non-standard interaction (NSI) solutions to the solar neutrino problem in the light of the latest solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrino data. We show that such solutions, although preferred by the solar data and consistent with the oscillation description of the atmospheric neutrino data, are ruled out by the first results of the KamLAND reactor experiment, at more than 3_sigma.
Clues for the existence of twoK1(1270)resonances
2007
The axial-vector meson ${K}_{1}(1270)$ was studied within the chiral unitary approach, where it was shown that it has a two-pole structure. We reanalyze the high-statistics WA3 experiment ${K}^{\ensuremath{-}}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}p$ at 63 GeV, which established the existence of both ${K}_{1}(1270)$ and ${K}_{1}(1400)$, and we show that it clearly favors our two-pole interpretation. We also reanalyze the traditional $K$-matrix interpretation of the WA3 data and find that the good fit of the data obtained there comes from large cancellations of terms of unclear physical interpretation.
A modified born term model for π± Δ electroproduction
1974
An electric Born type model is used to describeπ±Δ electroproduction at high energies. The electric pion form factor is taken from VDM; the contact term form factor and theΔ form factor are set equal to the proton form factor (or equal to zero) which is left as an arbitrary parameter, and is determined by a fit of the model to the recentπ+δ0 andπ−Δ++ electroproduction data.
Charm-quark mass from weighted finite energy QCD sum rules
2010
The running charm-quark mass in the scheme is determined from weighted finite energy QCD sum rules involving the vector current correlator. Only the short distance expansion of this correlator is used, together with integration kernels (weights) involving positive powers of s, the squared energy. The optimal kernels are found to be a simple pinched kernel and polynomials of the Legendre type. The former kernel reduces potential duality violations near the real axis in the complex s plane, and the latter allows us to extend the analysis to energy regions beyond the end point of the data. These kernels, together with the high energy expansion of the correlator, weigh the experimental and theo…
Pentaquark from QCD sum rules: consequences of the diquark approach
2006
In this work we investigate the consequences of the Jaffe and Wilczek diquark model in the framework of QCD sum rules. An analysis of the Theta^+(1540) as (ud)^2\bar{s} state shows that the mass of the pentaquark is compatible with the experimentally measured value. The mass difference between the Theta^+ and the pentaquark with the quantum numbers of the nucleon amounts to 70 MeV and is consistent with the interpretation of the N(1440) as a pentaquark.
SN 1987A and the status of oscillations solutions to the solar neutrino problem
2002
We study neutrino oscillations and the level-crossing probability ${P}_{\mathrm{LSZ}}$ in power-law potential profiles $A(r)\ensuremath{\propto}{r}^{n}.$ We give local and global adiabaticity conditions valid for all mixing angles $\ensuremath{\vartheta}$ and discuss different representations for ${P}_{\mathrm{LSZ}}.$ For the ${1/r}^{3}$ profile typical of supernova envelopes we compare our analytical to numerical results and to earlier approximations used in the literature. We then perform a combined likelihood analysis of the observed SN 1987A neutrino signal and of the latest solar neutrino data, including the recent SNO CC measurement. We find that, unless all relevant supernova paramet…
Violation of Siegert's theorem in the electro-excitation of the (1−, T = 0)-level at 7.117 MeV in 16O
1989
Abstract Cross sections are measured for the electro-excitation of the first 1−-level in 16O at extremely small momentum transfer. The model-independent interpretation with a Fourier-Bessel expansion of the transition charge density reveals an incompatibility with the life-time measurement at the photon point, i.e. a violation of Siegert's theorem.
Linear Nuclei: A Density Functional Interpretation
1997
We show that linear shape isomers of small even-even nuclei exist with nearly any internucleon interactions. The shapes of the linear isomers look like chains of alpha-particles, but single-particle spectrum reveals that alpha-particle interpretation is not needed. Indeed, the same shapes are obtained even with noninteracting particles in a rectangular cavity. Linear shape isomers are shown to exist also in metal clusters.
