Theoretical study of X-ray absorption of three-dimensional topological insulator
X-ray absorption edge singularity which is usually relevant for metals is
studied for the prototype topological insulator .
The generalized integral equation of Nozi\`eres and Dominicis type for X-ray
edge singularity is derived and solved. The spin texture of surfaces states
causes a component of singularity dependent on the helicity of the spin
texture. It also yields another component for which the singularity from
excitonic processes is absent.Comment: RevTeX 4.1. 4 pages, no figur
Neutron Stars with Bose-Einstein Condensation of Antikaons as MIT Bags
We investigate the properties of an antikaon in medium, regarding itas a MIT
bag. We first construct the MIT bag model for a kaon with and
in order to describe the interaction of-quarks in hyperonic matter in the
framework of the modifiedquark-meson coupling model. The coupling constant
in the density-dependent bag constant is treated
as afree parameter to reproduce the optical potential of a kaon in asymmetric
matter and all other couplings are determined by usingSU(6) symmetry and the
quark counting rule. With various values ofthe kaon potential, we calculate the
effective mass of a kaon inmedium to compare it with that of a point-like kaon.
We thencalculate the population of octet baryons, leptons and and
theequation of state for neutron star matter. The results show thatkaon
condensation in hyperonic matter is sensitive to the -quarkinteraction and
also to the way of treating the kaon. The mass andthe radius of a neutron star
are obtained by solving theTolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation.Comment: 14 figure
Two-pion-exchange parity-violating potential and
We calculate the parity-violating nucleon-nucleon potential in heavy-baryon
chiral perturbation theory up to the next-to-next-to-leading order. The
one-pion exchange comes in the leading order and the next-to-next-to-leading
order consists of two-pion-exchange and the two-nucleon contact terms. In order
to investigate the effect of the higher order contributions, we calculate the
parity-violating asymmetry in at the threshold. The
one-pion dominates the physical observable and the two-pion contribution is
about or less than 10% of the one-pion contribution.Comment: 3 pages, contribution to the workshop PAVI06 held in Milos island,

Parity-violating nucleon-nucleon interaction from different approaches
Two-pion exchange parity-violating nucleon-nucleon interactions from recent
effective field theories and earlier fully covariant approaches are
investigated. The potentials are compared with the idea to obtain better
insight on the role of low-energy constants appearing in the effective field
theory approach and the convergence of this one in terms of a perturbative
series. The results are illustrated by considering the longitudinal asymmetry
of polarized protons scattering off protons, , and the
asymmetry of the photon emission in radiative capture of polarized neutrons by
protons, .Comment: 31 page
Parity-violating asymmetry in with a pionless effective theory
Nuclear parity violation is studied with polarized neutrons in the
photodisintegration of the deuteron at low energies. A pionless effective field
theory with di-baryon fields is used for the investigation. Hadronic weak
interactions are treated by parity-violating di-baryon-nucleon-nucleon
vertices, which have undetermined coupling contants. A parity-violating
asymmetry in the process is calculated for the incident photon energy up to 30
MeV. If experimental data for the parity-violating asymmetry become available
in the future, we will be able to determine the unknown coupling contants in
the parity-violating vertices.Comment: 4 pages. A contribution to APFB2011, August 22-26, 2011, Seoul, Kore
