D_s (2317) as a four-quark state in QCD sum rules
We perform a QCD sum rule study of the open-charmed as a
four-quark state. Using the diquark-antidiquark picture for the four-quark
state, we consider four possible interpolating fields for , namely,
scalar-scalar, pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar, vector-vector, and
axial-vector--axial-vector types. We test all four currents by constructing
four separate sum rules. The sum rule with the scalar-scalar current gives a
stable value for the mass which qualitatively agrees with the
experimental value, and the result is not sensitive to the continuum threshold.
The vector-vector sum rule also gives a stable result with small sensitivity to
the continuum threshold and the extracted mass is somewhat lower than the
scalar-scalar current value. On the other hand, the two sum rules in the
pseudoscalar and axial-vector channels are found to yield the mass highly
sensitive to the continuum threshold, which implies that a four-quark state
with the combination of pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar or axial-vector--axial-vector
type would be disfavored. These results would indicate that is a
bound state of scalar-diquark and scalar-antidiquark and/or vector-diquark and
vector-antidiquark.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, REVTeX, 1 fig. added. to appear in Phys. Rev.
Generalized Density Matrix Revisited: Microscopic Approach to Collective Dynamics in Soft Spherical Nuclei
The generalized density matrix (GDM) method is used to calculate
microscopically the parameters of the collective Hamiltonian. Higher order
anharmonicities are obtained consistently with the lowest order results, the
mean field [Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equation] and the harmonic potential
[quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA)]. The method is applied to
soft spherical nuclei, where the anharmonicities are essential for restoring
the stability of the system, as the harmonic potential becomes small or
negative. The approach is tested in three models of increasing complexity: the
Lipkin model, model with factorizable forces, and the quadrupole plus pairing
model.Comment: submitted to Physical Review C on 08 May, 201
Self-consistent calculations of the electric giant dipole resonances in light and heavy mass nuclei
While bulk properties of stable nuclei are successfully reproduced by
mean-field theories employing effective interactions, the dependence of the
centroid energy of the electric giant dipole resonance on the nucleon number A
is not. This problem is cured by considering many-particle correlations beyond
mean-field theory, which we do within the "Quasiparticle Time Blocking
Approximation". The electric giant dipole resonances in O, Ca,
and Pb are calculated using two new Skyrme interactions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Temperature dependence of contact resistance of Au-Ti-Pd2Si-n+-Si ohmic contacts
We investigated temperature dependence of contact resistance of an
Au-Ti-Pd2Si ohmic contact to heavily doped n+-Si. The contact resistance
increases with temperature owing to conduction through the metal shunts. In
this case, the limiting process is diffusion input of electrons to the metal
shunts. The proposed mechanism of contact resistance formation seems to realize
also in the case of wide-gap semiconductors with high concentration of surface
states and dislocation density in the contact
Microscopic description of -photoproduction on light nuclei
A microscopic four-body description of near-threshold coherent
photoproduction of the meson on the (3N)-nuclei is given. The
photoproduction cross-section is calculated using the Finite Rank Approximation
(FRA) of the nuclear Hamiltonian. The results indicate that the final state
interaction of the meson with the residual nucleus plays an important
role in the photoproduction process. Sensitivity of the results to the choice
of the T-matrix is investigated. The importance of obeying the
condition of unitarity is demonstrated.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures; talk given at the International Conference on

Nuclear Schiff moment in nuclei with soft octupole and quadrupole vibrations
Nuclear forces violating parity and time reversal invariance (-odd) produce -odd nuclear moments, for example, the
nuclear Schiff moment. In turn, this moment can induce the electric dipole
moment in the atom. The nuclear Schiff moment is predicted to be enhanced in
nuclei with static quadrupole and octupole deformation. The analogous
suggestion of the enhanced contribution to the Schiff moment from the soft
collective quadrupole and octupole vibrations in spherical nuclei is tested in
this article in the framework of the quasiparticle random phase approximation
with separable quadrupole and octupole forces applied to the odd Ra
and Rn isotopes. We confirm the existence of the enhancement effect
due to the soft modes. However, in the standard approximation the enhancement
is strongly reduced by a small weight of the corresponding "particle + phonon"
component in a complicated wave function of a soft nucleus. The perspectives of
a better description of the structure of heavy soft nuclei are discussed.Comment: 27 pages, 3 figures, minor corrections in references adde
The cranking formula and the spurious behaviour of the mass parameters
We discuss some aspects of the approach of the mass parameters by means of
the simple cranking model. In particular, it is well known that the numerical
application of this formula is often subject to ambiguities or contradictions.
It is found that these problems are induced by the presence of two derivatives
in the formula. To overcome these problems, we state a useful ansatz and we
develop a number of simple arguments which tend to justify the removal of these
terms. As soon as this is done, the formula becomes simpler and easier to
interpret. In this respect, it is shown how the shell effects affect the mass
parameters. A number of numerical tests help us in our conclusions.Comment: version 3 corrigendum of the ansatz of section V, corrigendum of the
