Equivariance in topological gravity
1992
Abstract We present models of topological gravity for a variety of moduli space conditions. In four dimensions, we construct a model for self-dual gravity characterized by the moduli condition R + μν =0, and in two dimensions we treat the case of constant scalar curvature. Details are also given for both flat and Yang-Mills type moduli conditions in arbitrary dimensions. All models are based on the same fundamental multiplet which conveniently affords the construction of a complete hierarchy of observables. This approach is founded on a symmetry algebra which includes a local vector supersymmetry, in addition to a global BRST-like symmetry which is equivariant with respect to Lorentz transf…
A mode coupling analysis of the central peak at order disorder phase transitions
1993
The influence of local and translation invariant memory effects on the critical dynamics of a model undergoing a continous structural phase transition from a disordered (T>Tc) to an ordered distorted phase (T>Tc) is studied by mode coupling theory above the critical temperatureTc. It is shown that besides the existence of critical slowing-down modes there also exists a central peak as a consequence of correlations of the critical modes, increasing with the critical exponent γ when approachingTc. The dependence of the central peak on the wavevector\(\vec q\), temperatureT and on the spatial dimensiond is investigated. Ford=3 a scenario withlocal long time memory correlations is compared with…
A common optical algorithm for the evaluation of specular spin polarized neutron and Mössbauer reflectivities
2001
Using the general approach of Lax for multiple scattering of waves a 2x2 covariant expression for the reflectivity of polarized slow neutrons of a magnetic layer structure of arbitrary complexity is given including polarization effects of the external magnetic field. The present formalism is identical to the earlier published one for the (nuclear) resonant X-ray (Mossbauer) reflectivity and properly takes the effect of the external magnetic field of arbitrary direction on the neutron beam into account. The form of the reflectivity matrix allows for an efficient numerical calculation.
Translationally invariant treatment of pair correlations in nuclei: I. Spin and isospin dependent correlations
1996
We study the extension of our translationally invariant treatment of few-body nuclear systems to heavier nuclei. At the same time we also introduce state-dependent correlation operators. Our techniques are tailored to those nuclei that can be dealt with in $LS$ coupling, which includes all nuclei up to the shell closure at $A=40$. We study mainly $p$-shell nuclei in this paper. A detailed comparison with other microscopic many-body approaches is made, using a variety of schematic nuclear interactions. It is shown that our methodology produces very good energies, and presumably also wave functions, for medium mass nuclei.
Relativistic effects in quasifree deuteron electrodisintegration compared to a covariant model
1994
Deuteron disintegration by electrons is calculated in a covariant model for the quasifree region, where final-state interaction and two-body currents can be negiected, and is compared to a phenomenological approach in which one adds to the nonrelativistic one-body current relativistic contributions of lowest order and the kinematic wave-function boost. It is shown that ap/M-reduction of the relativistic theory contains the expressions of the phenomenological approach. The inclusion of relativistic contributions leads to a less frame-dependent description and the deviation from the covariant theory becomes small at low and medium energy and momentum transfers. Furthermore, the dependence of …
The translationally-invariant coupled cluster method in coordinate space
2000
We study a formulation of the translationally-invariant coupled cluster method in coordinate space. Previous calculations in configuration space showed poor convergence, a problem that the new formulation is expected to remedy. This question is investigated for a system of bosons interacting through the Wigner part of the Afnan-Tang S3 interaction, where previous results exist.
Study of the decayB¯0→D*+ωπ−
2006
We report on a study of the decay B0bar -> D*+ omega pi- with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-factory at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Based on a sample of 232 million BBbar decays, we measure the branching fraction BF(B0bar -> D*+ omega pi-) = (2.88 +/- 0.21(stat.) +/- 0.31(syst.)) \times 10^{-3}. We study the invariant mass spectrum of the omega pi- system in this decay. This spectrum is in good agreement with expectations based on factorization and the measured spectrum in tau- -> omega pi- nu_tau. We also measure the polarization of the D*+ as a function of the omega pi- mass. In the mass region 1.1 to 1.9 GeV we measure the fraction of longitudinal polarization of the D*+ …
Measurement of the total width, the electronic width, and the mass of theΥ(10580)resonance
2005
We present a measurement of the parameters of the Υ(10580) resonance based on a dataset collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B factory. We measure the total width Γtot=(20.7±1.6±2.5) MeV, the electronic partial width Γee=(0.321±0.017±0.029) keV and the mass M=(10579.3±0.4±1.2) MeV/c2.
On the chiral covariant approach to ρρ scattering
2017
We examine in detail a recent work (D.~G\"ulmez, U.-G.~Mei\ss ner and J.~A.~Oller, Eur. Phys. J. C 77:460 (2017)), where improvements to make $\rho\rho$ scattering relativistically covariant are made. The paper has the remarkable conclusion that the $J=2$ state disappears with a potential which is much more attractive than for $J=0$, where a bound state is found. We trace this abnormal conclusion to the fact that an "on-shell" factorization of the potential is done in a region where this potential is singular and develops a large discontinuous and unphysical imaginary part. A method is developed, evaluating the loops with full $\rho$ propagators, and we show that they do not develop singula…
Translationally invariant treatment of pair correlations in nuclei - II. Tensor correlations
1998
We study the extension of our translationally invariant treatment of few-body nuclear systems to include tensor forces and correlations. It is shown that a direct application of our method is not as successful for realistic V6 interactions as our previous results for V4 potentials suggested. We investigate the cause in detail for the case of $^4$He, and show that a combination of our method with that of Jastrow-correlated wave functions seems to be a lot more powerful, thereby suggesting that for mildly to strongly repulsive forces such a hybrid procedure may be an appropriate description.
