Low momentum nucleon-nucleon potential and shell model effective interactions
A low momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential V-low-k is derived from meson
exhange potentials by integrating out the model dependent high momentum modes
of V_NN. The smooth and approximately unique V-low-k is used as input for shell
model calculations instead of the usual Brueckner G matrix. Such an approach
eliminates the nuclear mass dependence of the input interaction one finds in
the G matrix approach, allowing the same input interaction to be used in
different nuclear regions. Shell model calculations of 18O, 134Te and 135I
using the same input V-low-k have been performed. For cut-off momentum Lambda
in the vicinity of 2 fm-1, our calculated low-lying spectra for these nuclei
are in good agreement with experiments, and are weakly dependent on Lambda.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Perturbative Effective Theory in an Oscillator Basis?
The effective interaction/operator problem in nuclear physics is believed to
be highly nonperturbative, requiring extended high-momentum spaces for accurate
solution. We trace this to difficulties that arise at both short and long
distances when the included space is defined in terms of a basis of harmonic
oscillator Slater determinants. We show, in the simplest case of the deuteron,
that both difficulties can be circumvented, yielding highly perturbative
results in the potential even for modest (~6hw) included spaces.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
Glueball matrix elements on anisotropic lattices
We describe a lattice calculation of the matrix elements relevant for
glueball production in radiative decays. The techniques for such a
calculation on anisotropic lattices with an improved action are outlined. We
present preliminary results showing the efficacy of the computational method.Comment: 3 pages (LaTeX), 3 figures (PostScript), Presented at Lattice '9
Chiral three-nucleon interaction and the carbon-14 dating beta decay
We present a shell model calculation for the beta decay of 14-C to the 14-N
ground-state, treating the relevant nuclear states as two 0p-holes in an 16-O
core. Employing the universal low-momentum nucleon-nucleon potential V(low-k)
only, one finds that the Gamow-Teller matrix element is too large to describe
the known (very long) lifetime of 14-C. As a novel approach to the problem, we
invoke the chiral three-nucleon force (3NF) at leading order and derive from it
a density-dependent in-medium NN interaction. Including this effective
in-medium NN interaction, the Gamow-Teller matrix element vanishes for a
nuclear density close to that of saturated nuclear matter. The genuine
short-range part of the three-nucleon interaction plays a particularly
important role in this context, since the medium modifications to the pion
propagator and pion-nucleon vertex (due to the long-range 3NF) tend to cancel
out in the relevant observable. We discuss also uncertainties related to the
off-shell extrapolation of the in-medium NN interaction. Using the off-shell
behavior of V(low-k) as a guide, we find that these uncertainties are rather
small.Comment: 22 pages, 11 figure

Beyond the Shell Model: The Canonical Nuclear Many-Body Problem as an Effective Theory
We describe a strategy for attacking the canonical nuclear structure problem
---bound-state properties of a system of point nucleons interacting via a
two-body potential---which involves an expansion in the number of particles
scattering at high momenta, but is otherwise exact. The required
self-consistent solutions of the Bloch-Horowitz equation for effective
interactions and operators are obtained by an efficient Green's function method
based on the Lanczos algorithm. We carry out this program for the simplest
nuclei, d and He, to contrast a rigorous effective theory with the shell
model, thereby illustrating several of the uncontrolled approximations in the
latter.Comment: Revtex; two columns; four pages; two figures; submitted to Phys. Rev.

Correlations and charge distributions of medium heavy nuclei
The effects of long- and short-range correlations on the charge distributions
of some medium and heavy nuclei are investigated. The long-range correlations
are treated within the Random Phase Approximation framework and the short-range
correlations with a model inspired to the Correlation Basis Function theory.
The two type of correlations produce effects of the same order of magnitude. A
comparison with the empirical charge distribution difference between 206Pb and
205Tl shows the need of including both correlations to obtain a good
description of the data.Comment: 20 pages, Latex, accepted for publication in Jour. Phys.
Modeling the effects of concentration of solid nanoparticles in liquid feedstock injection on high-velocity suspension flame spray process
This paper presents the effects of the concentration of solid nanoparticles in the liquid feedstock injection on the
high-velocity suspension flame spray (HVSFS) process. Four different concentrations of solid nanoparticles in suspension
droplets with various droplet diameters are used to study gas dynamics, vaporization rate, and secondary breakup. Two types of
injections, viz. surface and group, are used. The group-type injection increases the efficiency of droplet disintegration and the
evaporation process and reduces the gas cooling. The initiation of the fragmentation process is difficult for small droplets carrying
a high concentration of nanoparticles. Also, smaller droplets undergo rapid vaporization, leaving clogs of nanoparticles in the
middle of the barrel. For larger droplets, severe fragmentation occurs inside the combustion chamber. For a higher concentration
of nanoparticles, droplets exit the gun without complete evaporation. The results suggest that, in coating applications involving a
higher concentration of nanoparticles, smaller droplet sizes are preferred
Supernova neutrinos in the light of FCNC
We study the effect of including flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) in
the analysis of the neutrino signal of a supernova burst. When we include the
effect of the FCNC which are beyond the standard model (SM) in the study of the
MSW resonant conversion, we obtain dramatic changes in the \Delta
m^2-sin^2(2\theta) probability contours for neutrino detection.Comment: 8 pages in ReVTeX,3 figures. Revised manuscript submitted to Phys.

Theory of superconductor-insulator transition in single Josephson junctions
A non-band theory is developed to describe the superconductor-insulator (SI)
transtition in resistively shunted, single Josephson junctions. The
characteristic is formulated by a Landauer-like formula and evaluated by the
path-integral transfer-matrix method. The result is consistent with the recent
experiments at around 80 . However, the insulator phase shrinks with
decreasing temperature indicating that the single Josephson junction becomes
all superconducting at absolute zero temperature, as long as dissipation is
present.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
