    Nucleon resonances in the constituent quark model with chiral symmetry

    Get PDF
    The mass spectra of nucleon resonances with spin 1/2, 3/2, and 5/2 are systematically studied in the constituent quark model with meson-quark coupling, which is inspired by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry of QCD. The meson-quark coupling gives rise not only to the one-meson-exchange potential between quarks but also to the self-energy of baryon resonances due to the existence of meson-baryon decay channels. The two contributions are consistently taken into account in the calculation. The gross properties of the nucleon resonance spectra are reproduced fairly well although the predicted mass of N(1440) is too high.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, Late

    Energy Centroids of Spin II States by Random Two-body Interactions

    Full text link
    In this paper we study the behavior of energy centroids (denoted as EIˉ\bar{E_I}) of spin II states in the presence of random two-body interactions, for systems ranging from very simple systems (e.g. single-jj shell for very small jj) to very complicated systems (e.g., many-jj shells with different parities and with isospin degree of freedom). Regularities of EIˉ\bar{E_I}'s discussed in terms of the so-called geometric chaoticity (or quasi-randomness of two-body coefficients of fractional parentage) in earlier works are found to hold even for very simple systems in which one cannot assume the geometric chaoticity. It is shown that the inclusion of isospin and parity does not "break" the regularities of EIˉ\bar{E_I}'s.Comment: four figures. to appear in Physical Review

    Exchange Currents for Hypernuclear Magnetic Moments

    Full text link
    The meson(K and π\pi) exchange currents for the hypernuclear magnetic moments are calculated using the effective Lagrangian method. The seagull diagram, the mesonic diagram and the Σ0\Sigma^0-excitation diagram are considered. The Λ\Lambda-N exchange magnetic moments for the Λ5He{}^5_{\Lambda}He, Λ6He{}^6_{\Lambda}He and Λ6Li{}^6_{\Lambda}Li are calculated employing the harmonic oscillator shell model. It is found that the two-body correction is about -9% of the single particle value for Λ5He{}^5_{\Lambda}He. The π\pi exchange current, induced only in the Σ0\Sigma^0-excitation diagram, is found to give dominant contribution for the isovector magnetic moments of hypernuclei with A=6.Comment: 11pp, LaTeX, 7 EPS figures, uses epsf.st

    Educational and training opportunities as incentives for military service

    Get PDF
    The incentive value of the Navy Campus for Achievement (NCFA) for recruiting was evaluated using unobtrusive measures. Recruiter demand for a recruiting aid (brochure) solely featuring NCFA was compared against the demand for the most popular enlisted and officer aids. A Time magazine and TV Guide ad featuring NCFA was compared against other ads in Time and TV Guide over a 3-year period by the rate of return of coupons accompanying the ads. The material featuring NCFA compared as well or better (magazine ads) than the other material featuring general themes. The importance of educational and training opportunities, the seasonality and limitations of advertising in recruiting, and the methodology used in the evaluation are discussed and recommendations are made.

    Ferroelectric polarization flop in a frustrated magnet MnWO4_4 induced by magnetic fields

    Full text link
    The relationship between magnetic order and ferroelectric properties has been investigated for MnWO4_4 with long-wavelength magnetic structure. Spontaneous electric polarization is observed in an elliptical spiral spin phase. The magnetic-field dependence of electric polarization indicates that the noncollinear spin configuration plays a key role for the appearance of ferroelectric phase. An electric polarization flop from the b direction to the a direction has been observed when a magnetic field above 10T is applied along the b axis. This result demonstrates that an electric polarization flop can be induced by a magnetic field in a simple system without rare-earth f-moments.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure

    Electric Control of Spin Helicity in a Magnetic Ferroelectric

    Full text link
    Magnetic ferroelectrics or multiferroics, which are currently extensively explored, may provide a good arena to realize a novel magnetoelectric function. Here we demonstrate the genuine electric control of the spiral magnetic structure in one of such magnetic ferroelectrics, TbMnO3. A spin-polarized neutron scattering experiment clearly shows that the spin helicity, clockwise or counter-clockwise, is controlled by the direction of spontaneous polarization and hence by the polarity of the small cooling electric field.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Effect of the bound nucleon form factors on charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering

    Full text link
    We study the effect of bound nucleon form factors on charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering. The bound nucleon form factors of the vector and axial-vector currents are calculated in the quark-meson coupling model. We compute the inclusive 12^{12}C(νμ,μ−\nu_\mu,\mu^-)XX cross sections using a relativistic Fermi gas model with the calculated bound nucleon form factors. The effect of the bound nucleon form factors for this reaction is a reduction of ∼\sim8% for the total cross section, relative to that calculated with the free nucleon form factors.Comment: Latex, 11 pages, 3 figures, version to appear in Phys.
