Nucleon form factors and moments of parton distributions in twisted mass lattice QCD
We present results on the electroweak form factors and on the lower moments
of parton distributions of the nucleon, within lattice QCD using two dynamical
flavors of degenerate twisted mass fermions. Results are obtained on lattices
with three different values of the lattice spacings, namely a=0.089 fm, a=0.070
fm and a=0.056 fm, allowing the investigation of cut-off effects. The volume
dependence is examined by comparing results on two lattices of spatial length
L=2.1 fm and L=2.8 fm. The simulations span pion masses in the range of 260-470
MeV. Our results are renormalized non-perturbatively and the values are given
in the MS-scheme at a scale mu=2 GeV.Comment: Talk presented in the XXIst International Europhysics Conference on

In-medium Properties of as a KN structure in Relativistic Mean Field Theory
The properties of nuclear matter are discussed with the relativistic
mean-field theory (RMF).Then, we use two models in studying the in-medium
properties of : one is the point-like in the usual RMF and
the other is a KN structure for the pentaquark. It is found that the
in-medium properties of are dramatically modified by its internal
structure. The effective mass of in medium is, at normal nuclear
density, about 1030 MeV in the point-like model, while it is about 1120 MeV in
the model of KN pentaquark. The nuclear potential depth of in
the KN model is approximately -37.5 MeV, much shallower than -90 MeV in
the usual point-like RMF model.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Unitary and analytic model of nucleon EM structure, the puzzle with JLab proton polarization data and new insight into proton charge distribution
The Unitary and analytic model of nucleon electromagnetic structure,
describing all existing nucleon form factor data, is briefly reviewed. Then in
the framework of this model the problem of inconsistency of older proton
electric form factor data in space-like region (obtained from process by the Rosenbluth technique) with recent Jefferson Lab data on
the ratio (measured in precise polarization
experiment) is suggested
to be solved in favour of the latter data which, however, unlike older data
cause an existence of the form factor zero, i.e. a difraction minimum in
around GeV. The new behaviour of
with the zero gives modified proton charge distribution with enlarged value of
the mean square charge radius.Comment: 9 pages, 11 eps figures. Talk presented at the workshop on Lepton

DVCS amplitude with kinematical twist-3 terms
We compute the amplitude of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) using
the calculus of QCD string operators in coordinate representation. To restore
the electromagnetic gauge invariance
(transversality) of the twist-2 amplitude we include the operators of twist-3
which appear as total derivatives of twist-2 operators. Our results are
equivalent to a Wandzura-Wilczek approximation for twist-3 skewed parton
distributions. We find that this approximation gives a finite result for the
amplitude of a longitudinally polarized virtual photon, while the amplitude for
transverse polarization is divergent, i.e., factorization breaks down in this
term. However, the divergent part has zero projection onto the polarization
vector of the final real photon.Comment: 8 pages, Latex; discussion of singularities correcte
Hadron Masses in Medium and Neutron Star Properties
We investigate the properties of the neutron star with relativistic mean
field models. We incorporate in the quantum hadrodynamics and in the
quark-meson coupling models a possible reduction of meson masses in nuclear
matter. The equation of state for neutron star matter is obtained and is
employed in Oppenheimer-Volkov equation to extract the maximum mass of the
stable neutron star. We find that the equation of state, the composition and
the properties of the neutron stars are sensitive to the values of the meson
masses in medium.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures and 2 tables. To be published in EPJ
Droplet formation in cold asymmetric nuclear matter in the quark-meson-coupling model
The quark-meson-coupling model is used to study droplet formation from the
liquid-gas phase transition in cold asymmetric nuclear matter. The critical
density and proton fraction for the phase transition are determined in the mean
field approximation. Droplet properties are calculated in the Thomas-Fermi
approximation. The electromagnetic field is explicitly included and its effects
on droplet properties are studied. The results are compared with the ones
obtained with the NL1 parametrization of the non-linear Walecka model.Comment: 21 pages, RevTeX including 8 figures in .eps file
Quark mean field model with density dependent couplings for finite nuclei
The quark mean field model, which describes the nucleon using the constituent
quark model, is applied to investigate the properties of finite nuclei. The
couplings of the scalar and vector mesons with quarks are made density
dependent through direct coupling to the scalar field so as to reproduce the
relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock results of nuclear matter. The present
model provides satisfactory results on the properties of spherical nuclei, and
predicts an increasing size of the nucleon as well as a reduction of the
nucleon mass in the nuclear environmentComment: 8 pages, REVTeX, 8 ps figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Chiral symmetry and quantum hadro-dynamics
Using the linear sigma model, we study the evolutions of the quark condensate
and of the nucleon mass in the nuclear medium. Our formulation of the model
allows the inclusion of both pion and scalar-isoscalar degrees of freedom. It
guarantees that the low energy theorems and the constrains of chiral
perturbation theory are respected. We show how this formalism incorporates
quantum hadro-dynamics improved by the pion loops effects.Comment: 24 pages, 2 figure
The extended, relativistic hyperon star model
In this paper an equation of state of neutron star matter which includes
strange baryons in the framework of Zimanyi and Moszkowski (ZM) model has been
obtained. We concentrate on the effects of the isospin dependence of the
equation of state constructing for the appropriate choices of parameters the
hyperons star model. Numerous neutron star models show that the appearance of
hyperons is connected with the increasing density in neutron star interiors.
Various studies have indicated that the inclusion of delta meson mainly affects
the symmetry energy and through this the chemical composition of a neutron
star. As the effective nucleon mass contributes to hadron chemical potentials
it alters the chemical composition of the star. In the result the obtained
model of the star not only excludes large population of hadrons but also does
not reduce significantly lepton contents in the star interior.Comment: 22 pages, revtex4, 13 figure
