Probing the EOS of dense neutron-rich matter with high-energy radioactive beams
Nuclear reactions induced by high energy radioactive beams create a transient
state of nuclear matter with high density and appreciable neutron to proton
asymmetry. This will provide a unique opportunity to explore novel properties
of dense neutron-rich matter and the isospin-dependence of the nuclear equation
of state (EOS). Here we study the ratio as a probe of the EOS of
dense neutron-rich matter.Comment: Talk given at NN2003 to appear in the Proc. in Nucl. Phys. A (2004
A Holographic P-wave Superconductor Model
We study a holographic p-wave superconductor model in a four dimensional
Einstein-Maxwell-complex vector field theory with a negative cosmological
constant. The complex vector field is charged under the Maxwell field. We solve
the full coupled equations of motion of the system and find black hole
solutions with the vector hair. The vector hairy black hole solutions are dual
to a thermal state with the U(1) symmetry as well as the spatial rotational
symmetry breaking spontaneously. Depending on two parameters, the mass and
charge of the vector field, we find a rich phase structure: zeroth order, first
order and second order phase transitions can happen in this model. We also find
"retrograde condensation" in which the hairy black hole solution exists only
for the temperatures above a critical value with the free energy much larger
than the black hole without hair. We construct the phase diagram for this
system in terms of the temperature and charge of the vector field.Comment: v3: 26 pages, 15 figures, references added, extra arguments added, to

Generalized Adaptive Network Coding Aided Successive Relaying Based Noncoherent Cooperation
A generalized adaptive network coding (GANC) scheme is conceived for a multi-user, multi-relay scenario, where the multiple users transmit independent information streams to a common destination with the aid of multiple relays. The proposed GANC scheme is developed from adaptive network coded cooperation (ANCC), which aims for a high flexibility in order to: 1) allow arbitrary channel coding schemes to serve as the cross-layer network coding regime; 2) provide any arbitrary trade-off between the throughput and reliability by adjusting the ratio of the source nodes and the cooperating relay nodes. Furthermore, we incorporate the proposed GANC scheme in a novel successive relaying aided network (SRAN) in order to recover the typical 50% half-duplex relaying-induced throughput loss. However, it is unrealistic to expect that in addition to carrying out all the relaying functions, the relays could additionally estimate the source-to-relay channels. Hence noncoherent detection is employed in order to obviate the power-hungry channel estimation. Finally, we intrinsically amalgamate our GANC scheme with the joint network-channel coding (JNCC) concept into a powerful three-stage concatenated architecture relying on iterative detection, which is specifically designed for the destination node (DN). The proposed scheme is also capable of adapting to rapidly time-varying network topologies, while relying on energy-efficient detection
Quantum phase transition in a three-level atom-molecule system
We adopt a three-level bosonic model to investigate the quantum phase
transition in an ultracold atom-molecule conversion system which includes one
atomic mode and two molecular modes. Through thoroughly exploring the
properties of energy level structure, fidelity, and adiabatical geometric
phase, we confirm that the system exists a second-order phase transition from
an atommolecule mixture phase to a pure molecule phase. We give the explicit
expression of the critical point and obtain two scaling laws to characterize
this transition. In particular we find that both the critical exponents and the
behaviors of ground-state geometric phase change obviously in contrast to a
similar two-level model. Our analytical calculations show that the ground-state
geometric phase jumps from zero to ?pi/3 at the critical point. This
discontinuous behavior has been checked by numerical simulations and it can be
used to identify the phase transition in the system.Comment: 8 pages,8 figure
