Study of the neutron-rich nuclei with $N$ = 21, $^{35}$Si and $^{33}$Mg, by beta decay of $^{35}$Al and $^{33}$Na
2000
Abstract The first information on the level structure of the N =21 nuclei, 35 Si and 33 Mg, has been obtained by the beta decay study of 35 Al and 33 Na, produced by fragmentation of an UC target with 1.4 GeV protons at CERN/ISOLDE. The experimental technique involved β – γ , β – γ – γ , and β –n– γ coincidences, neutron spectra being obtained by time of flight measurements. Gamma detection was made either using large Ge counters or small BaF 2 scintillators (for lifetime measurements). In the case of the 35 Al decay, ( T 1/2 =41.6(2.2) ms), a simple structure has been found for the level scheme of 35 Si ( Z =14, N =21) which has been interpreted with the level sequence : 7/2 − , 3/2 − and …
New approach for numerical solution of configuration-space Faddeev equations
1996
A new computational scheme for solving the bound state configuration-space Faddeev equations is applied. The scheme is based on the spline-approximation and the adiabatic limit of Faddeev equations. An ordering of variables being in agreement with the limit was chosen. As a result the matrix of the eigenvalue problem has a sparse block structure. Calculations of the bound states of µpp, µdd, µtt mesic molecules and ¯pdd, ¯ptt antiprotonic ones, were performed. To check the method, calculations of the binding energies for such systems as the positronium ion Ps−,3H and3He were carried out. The results are compared with the best results of other authors.
States Of Rho D*(D)Over-Bar* With J=3 Within The Fixed Center Approximation To The Faddeev Equations
2015
We study the interaction of ρ, D * and $$\bar D^*$$ with spins aligned using the fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations. We select a cluster of $$D^* \bar D^*$$ , which is found to be bound in I = 0 and can be associated to the X(3915), and let the ρ meson orbit around the D * and $$\bar D^*$$ . In this case we find an I = 1 state with mass around 4340 MeV and narrow width of about 50 MeV. We also investigate the case with a cluster of ρD * and let the $$\bar D^*$$ orbit around the system of the two states. The ρD * cluster is also found to bind and leads to the D 2 * state. The addition of the extra $$\bar D^*$$ produces further binding and we find, with admitted uncertainties…
Relativistic approach to positronium levels in a strong magnetic field
2001
We have investigated the bound states of an electron and positron in superstrong magnetic fields typical for neutron stars. The complete relativistic problem of positronium in a strong magnetic field has not been succesfully solved up to now. In particular, we have studied the positronium when it moves relativistically across the magnetic field. A number of problems which deal with the pulsar magnetosphere, as well as the evolution of protoneutron stars, could be considered as a field for application.
Intruder features in the island of inversion: The case of33Mg
2001
The Na-33 beta decay was studied online using mass separation techniques and a first description of the level structure of the neutron-rich isotope Mg-33, with N=21, has been obtained. The experiment involved the measurement of beta-gamma, beta-gamma-gamma, and beta -n-gamma coincidences as well as neutron spectra by time-of-flight technique. The first low energy level scheme for the daughter nucleus Mg-33 is given with five bound states. Spin and parity assignments are proposed according to beta feedings and gamma -ray multipolarities, beta -strength distribution is evaluated, taking into account 1n- and 2n-emission channels and it is compared with the calculated GT strength distribution. …
Search for weakly decaying Λn‾ and ΛΛ exotic bound states in central Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV
2016
We present results of a search for two hypothetical strange dibaryon states, i.e. the H-dibaryon and the possible (Lambda n) over bar bound state. The search is performed with the ALICE detector in central (0-10%) Pb-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 2.76 TeV, by invariant mass analysis in the decay modes (Lambda n) over bar (d) over bar pi(+) and H-dibaryon -> Lambda p pi(-). No evidence for these bound states is observed. Upper limits are determined at 99% confidence level for a wide range of lifetimes and for the full range of branching ratios. The results are compared to thermal, coalescence and hybrid UrQMD model expectations, which describe correctly the production of other loosely bound s…
Wave functions of composite hadron states and relationship to couplings of scattering amplitudes for general partial waves
2012
In this paper we present the connection between scattering amplitudes in momentum space and wave functions in coordinate space, generalizing previous work done for $s$-waves to any partial wave. The relationship to the wave function of the residues of the scattering amplitudes at the pole of bound states or resonances is investigated in detail. A sum rule obtained for the couplings provides a generalization to coupled channels, any partial wave and bound or resonance states, of Weinberg's compositeness condition, which was only valid for weakly bound states in one channel and $s$-wave. An example, requiring only experimental data, is shown for the $\ensuremath{\rho}$ meson indicating that i…
Direct neutron capture for magic-shell nuclei.
1995
In neutron capture for magic--shell nuclei the direct reaction mechanism can be important and may even dominate. As an example we investigated the reaction $^{48}$Ca(n,$\gamma)^{49}$Ca for projectile energies below 250\,keV in a direct capture model using the folding procedure for optical and bound state potentials. The obtained theoretical cross sections are in agreement with the experimental data showing the dominance of the direct reaction mechanism in this case. The above method was also used to calculate the cross section for $^{50}$Ca(n,$\gamma)^{51}$Ca.
Z c (3900): What has been really seen?
2016
The $Z^\pm_c(3900)/Z^\pm_c(3885)$ resonant structure has been experimentally observed in the $Y(4260) \to J/\psi \pi\pi$ and $Y(4260) \to \bar{D}^\ast D \pi$ decays. This structure is intriguing since it is a prominent candidate of an exotic hadron. Yet, its nature is unclear so far. In this work, we simultaneously describe the $\bar{D}^\ast D$ and $J/\psi \pi$ invariant mass distributions in which the $Z_c$ peak is seen using amplitudes with exact unitarity. Two different scenarios are statistically acceptable, where the origin of the $Z_c$ state is different. They correspond to using energy dependent or independent $\bar D^* D$ $S$-wave interaction. In the first one, the $Z_c$ peak is due…
Molecular picture for the X0(2866) as a D⁎K¯⁎ J = 0+ state and related 1+,2+ states
2020
Abstract We recall the predictions made ten years ago about a bound state of J P = 0 + in I = 0 of the D ⁎ K ¯ ⁎ system, which is manifestly exotic, and we associate it to the X 0 ( 2866 ) state reported in the recent LHCb experiment. Fine tuning the parameters to reproduce exactly the mass and width of the X 0 ( 2866 ) state, we report two more states stemming from the same interaction, one with 1 + and the other with 2 + . For reasons of parity, the 1 + state cannot be observed in D K ¯ decay, and we suggest to observe it in the D ⁎ K ¯ spectrum. On the other hand, the 2 + state can be observed in D K ¯ decay but the present experiment has too small statistics in the region of its mass to…
