Strange mesons and kaon-to-pion transition form factors from holography
We present a calculation of the transition form factors using
the AdS/QCD correspondence. We also solidify and extend our ability to
calculate quantities in the flavor-broken versions of AdS/QCD. The
normalization of the form factors is a crucial ingredient for extracting
from data, and the results obtained here agree well with results
from chiral perturbation theory and lattice gauge theory. The slopes and
curvature of the form factors agree well with the data, and with what results
are available from other methods of calculation.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
A pure S-wave covariant model for the nucleon
Using the manifestly covariant spectator theory, and modeling the nucleon as
a system of three constituent quarks with their own electromagnetic structure,
we show that all four nucleon electromagnetic form factors can be very well
described by a manifestly covariant nucleon wave function with zero orbital
angular momentum. Since the concept of wave function depends on the formalism,
the conclusions of light-cone theory requiring nonzero angular momentum
components are not inconsistent with our results. We also show that our model
gives a qualitatively correct description of deep inelastic scattering,
unifying the phenomenology at high and low momentum transfer. Finally we review
two different definitions of nuclear shape and show that the nucleon is
spherical in this model, regardless of how shape is defined.Comment: 20 pages and 10 figures; greatly expanded version with new fits and

Weak phase separation and the pseudogap in the electron-doped cuprates
We study the quantum transition from an antiferromagnet to a superconductor
in a model for electron- and hole-doped cuprates by means of a variational
cluster perturbation theory approach. In both cases, our results suggest a
tendency towards phase separation between a mixed
antiferromagnetic-superconducting phase at low doping and a pure
superconducting phase at larger doping. However, in the electron-doped case the
energy scale for phase separation is an order of magnitude smaller than for
hole doping. We argue that this can explain the different pseudogap and
superconducting transition scales in hole- and electron-doped materials.Comment: Final version, accepted for publication in Europhysics Letter
Quark cluster signatures in deuteron electromagnetic interactions
A suggestion is made for distinguishing 2N and 6q short range correlations
within the deuteron. The suggestion depends upon observing high momentum
backward nucleons emerging from inelastic electromagnetic scattering from a
deuteron target. A simple model is worked out to see the size of effects that
may be expected.Comment: 18 pages (3 figures available as hard copy), WM-94-10
