Radial excitations of Q-balls, and their D-term
We study the structure of the energy-momentum tensor of radial excitations of
Q-balls in scalar field theories with U(1) symmetry. The obtained numerical
results for the excitations allow us to study in detail
patterns how the solutions behave with N. We show that although the fields and
energy-momentum tensor densities exhibit a remarkable degree of complexity, the
properties of the solutions scale with N with great regularity. This is to best
of our knowledge the first study of the D-term d1 for excited states, and we
demonstrate that it is negative --- in agreement with results from literature
on the d1 of ground state particles.Comment: 11 pages, 12 figure
The RS CVn Binary HD 155555: A Comparative Study of the Atmospheres for the Two Component Stars
We present GHRS/HST observations of the RS CVn binary system HD 155555. Several key UV emission lines (Fe XXI, Si IV, O V, C IV) have been analyzed to provide information about the heating rate throughout the atmosphere from the chromosphere to the corona. We show that both the G and K components reveal features of a chromosphere, transition region and corona. The emission measure distribution as a function of temperature for both components is derived and compared with the RS Cvn system, HR 1099, and the Sun. The transition region and coronal lines of both stars show nonthermal broadenings of approx. 20-30 km/s. Possible physical implications for coronal heating mechanisms are discussed
A Selection Rule for Multiquark Decays
By assuming SU(6)_cs symmetry for pentaquark decays one finds a selection
rule, which strongly reduces the number of states able to decay into a baryon
and a meson final state and allows an intriguing identification for the Theta^+
particle recently discovered with the prediction of a narrow width.Comment: 10 pages, no figure
Nucleon Spin in QCD: Old Crisis and New Resolution
We discuss the shortfalls of existing resolutions of the long-standing gauge
invariance problem of the canonical decomposition of the nucleon spin to the
spin and angular momentum of quarks and gluons. We provide two logically
flawless expressions of nucleon spin which have different physical meanings,
using the gauge independent Abelian decomposition. The first one is based on
the assumption that all gluons (binding and valence gluons) contribute to the
nucleon spin, but the second one is based on the assumption that only the
binding gluons (and the quarks) contribute to it. We propose the second
expression to be the physically correct one
Diffractive vector meson electroproduction at small Bjorken within GPD approach
We study light vector meson electroproduction at small within the
generalized parton distributions (GPDs) model. The modified perturbative
approach is used, where the quark transverse degrees of freedom in the vector
meson wave function and hard subprocess are considered. Our results on the
cross section and spin observables are in good agreement with experimentComment: 6 pages, 5 figures, presented at Symmetries and Spin meeting, Prague,

A study of the nuclear medium influence on transverse momentum of hadrons produced in deep inelastic neutrino scattering
The influence of nuclear effects on the transverse momentum
distributions of neutrinoproduced hadrons is investigated using the data
obtained with SKAT propane-freon bubble chamber irradiated in the neutrino beam
(with = 3-30 GeV) at Serpukhov accelerator. Dependences of of hadrons (more pronounced for the
positively charged ones) produced in the target fragmentation region at low
invariant mass of the hadronic system (2 4 GeV) or at low energies
transferred to the current quark (2 GeV). At higher or ,
no influence of nuclear effects on is observed. Measurement results
are compared with predictions of a simple model, incorporating secondary
intranuclear interactions of hadrons (with a formation length extracted from
the Lund fragmentation model), which qualitatively reproduces the main features
of the data.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figure
