Partial wave analysis inK-matrix formalism
1995
A description is given of the K-matrix formalism. The formalism, which is normally applied to two-body scattering processes, is generalized to production of two-body channels with finalstate interactions. A multi-channel treatment of production of resonances has been worked out in the P-vector approach of Aitchison. An alternative approach, derived from the P-vector, gives the production amplitude as a product of the T-matrix for a two-body system and a vector Q specifying its production. This formulation, called Q-vector approach here, has also been worked out. Examples of practical importance are given.
Faddeev fixed-center approximation to theNK̄Ksystem and the signature of aN*(1920)(1/2+) state
2011
We perform a calculation for the three body $N \bar{K} K$ scattering amplitude by using the fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations, taking the interaction between $N$ and $\bar{K}$, $N$ and $K$, and $\bar{K}$ and $K$ from the chiral unitary approach. The resonant structures show up in the modulus squared of the three body scattering amplitude and suggest that a $N\bar{K}K$ hadron state can be formed. Our results are in agreement with others obtained in previous theoretical works, which claim a new $N^*$ resonance around 1920 MeV with spin-parity $J^P=1/2^+$. The existence of these previous works allows us to test the accuracy of the fixed center approximation in the present pro…
The CC3 model : An iterative coupled cluster approach including connected triples
1997
An alternative derivation of many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) has been given, where a coupled cluster parametrization is used for the wave function and the method of undetermined Lagrange multipliers is applied to set up a variational coupled cluster energy expression. In this variational formulation, the nth-order amplitudes determine the energy to order 2n+1 and the nth-order multipliers determine the energy to order 2n+2. We have developed an iterative approximate coupled cluster singles, doubles, and triples model CC3, where the triples amplitudes are correct through second order and the singles amplitudes are treated without approximations due to the unique role of singles as appro…
Couplings in coupled channels versus wave functions in the case of resonances: Application to the twoΛ(1405)states
2011
In this paper we develop a formalism to evaluate wave functions in momentum and coordinate space for the resonant states dynamically generated in a unitary coupled channel approach. The on-shell approach for the scattering matrix, commonly used, is also obtained in quantum mechanics with a separable potential, which allows one to write wave functions in a trivial way. We develop useful relationships among the couplings of the dynamically generated resonances to the different channels and the wave functions at the origin. The formalism provides an intuitive picture of the resonances in the coupled channel approach, as bound states of one bound channel, which decays into open ones. It also pr…
Three-body hadronic molecules
2010
In this talk, I discuss our recent studies of three-hadron systems and the resonances found therein. The studies consist of solving Faddeev equations with the input two body interactions obtained from the chiral Lagrangians. The systems which we study are either made of two mesons and a baryon or of three mesons. The motivation for these studies comes from the data on many baryon resonances, especially the ones with Jπ = 1/2+, which show a large branching ratio to the two meson-one baryon decay channels. In addition to this, several new studies at BES, BELLE, BABAR etc., claim the existence of new meson resonances which seem to couple strongly to three-meson systems, where mostly two out of…

Systematic study of neutrinoless double beta decay to excited 0+ states
2003
Abstract A systematic study of neutrinoless double beta (0 νββ ) decay to excited 0 + states, described as monopole-vibrational states or as composed of two collective quadrupole-phonon states, has been performed. Both double β − and double β + /EC decays have been analyzed within the framework of the multiple commutator model (MCM) by using a realistic nuclear many-body Hamiltonian and realistic mean-field single-particle bases. It is found that the associated 0 νββ -decay transitions are suppressed relative to the decay to the final ground state both by the available phase space and especially by the smallness of the involved transition matrix elements. For completeness, also the double β…
Test of phi renormalization in nuclei through phi photoproduction
2000
We propose an experimental procedure to find out the medium modifications of the $\phi$ meson. The reaction is inclusive $\phi$ photoproduction in nuclei, looking for $K^+ K^-$ pairs from the $\phi$ decay with total momentum smaller than 100-150 $MeV/c$, which are made possible at energies of present laboratories from center of mass $\phi$ backward production and the help of Fermi motion. We have conducted a many body calculation of the mass distribution of the $\phi$ adapted to the experimental set up of a recent JLAB experiment where the backwards $\phi$ photoproduction has been measured. Using recent results for the in medium properties of the $\phi$, we find that the width of the invari…
Numerical treatment of the long-range Coulomb potential with Berggren bases
2010
The Schrodinger equation incorporating the long-range Coulomb potential takes the form of a Fredholm equation whose kernel is singular on its diagonal when represented by a basis bearing a continuum of states, such as in a Fourier-Bessel transform. Several methods have been devised to tackle this difficulty, from simply removing the infinite-range of the Coulomb potential with a screening or cut function to using discretizing schemes which take advantage of the integrable character of Coulomb kernel singularities. However, they have never been tested in the context of Berggren bases, which allow many-body nuclear wave functions to be expanded, with halo or resonant properties within a shell…
Many-body approach to low-energy pion-nucleus scattering
1993
Abstract We have extrapolated for low-energy pions ( T π = 0–50 MeV) the results for the pion-nucleus optical potential previously developed for pionic atoms. The evaluation is done using microscopic many-body techniques which allow us to separate the different contributions to the imaginary part of the potential and relate them to the different reaction channels: quasielastic and absorption. Elastic differential, reaction, absorption and quasielastic cross sections are evaluated for different nuclei and energies and contrasted with experiments. The agreement with data for the different channels, energies and nuclei is rather good with some isolated discrepancies.
