Off-Mass-Shell N Scattering and
We adapt the off-shell N amplitude of the Tucson-Melbourne three-body
force to the half-off-shell amplitude of the pion rescattering contribution to
near threshold. This {\em pion} rescattering contribution,
together with the impulse term, provides a good description of the data when
the half-off-shell amplitude is linked to the phenomenological invariant
amplitudes obtained from meson factory N scattering data.Comment: 3 pages, contributed to STORRI99, Bloomington, Indiana, September

Momentum and Coordinate Space Three-nucleon Potentials
In this paper we give explicit formulae in momentum and coordinate space for
the three-nucleon potentials due to and meson exchange, derived
from off-mass-shell meson-nucleon scattering amplitudes which are constrained
by the symmetries of QCD and by the experimental data. Those potentials have
already been applied to nuclear matter calculations. Here we display additional
terms which appear to be the most important for nuclear structure. The
potentials are decomposed in a way that separates the contributions of
different physical mechanisms involved in the meson-nucleon amplitudes. The
same type of decomposition is presented for the TM force: the
, the chiral symmetry breaking and the nucleon pair terms are isolated.Comment: LATEX, 33 pages, 3 figures (available as postscript files upon

Triton calculations with and exchange three-nucleon forces
The Faddeev equations are solved in momentum space for the trinucleon bound
state with the new Tucson-Melbourne and exchange three-nucleon
potentials. The three-nucleon potentials are combined with a variety of
realistic two-nucleon potentials. The dependence of the triton binding energy
on the cut-off parameter in the three-nucleon potentials is studied
and found to be reduced compared to the case with pure exchange. The
exchange parts of the three-nucleon potential yield an overall repulsive
effect. When the recommended parameters are employed, the calculated triton
binding energy turns out to be very close to its experimental value.
Expectation values of various components of the three-nucleon potential are
given to illustrate their significance for binding.Comment: 17 pages Revtex 3.0, 4 figures. Accepted for publication in Phys.

Phenomenological Aspects of Isospin Violation in the Nuclear Force
Phenomenological Lagrangians and dimensional power counting are used to
assess isospin violation in the nucleon-nucleon force. The coupling
constants (including the Goldberger-Treiman discrepancy), charge-symmetry
breaking, and meson-mixing models are examined. A one-loop analysis of the
isospin-violating coupling constants is performed using chiral
perturbation theory. Meson-mixing models and the He - H mass difference
are also discussed in the context of naturalness.Comment: 10 pages, latex, 1 figure -- To appear in Physics Letters B --

Performance analysis of an orbital angular momentum multiplexed amplify-and-forward radio relay chain with inter-modal crosstalk
The end-to-end spectral efficiency and bit error rate (BER) of an amplify-and-forward (AF) radio relay chain employing orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing is presented. The inherent divergence of a beam carrying OAM is overcome by means of a lens. Modelled and measured inter-modal crosstalk levels are incorporated into the analysis. The results show that an end-to-end spectral efficiency of up to 8 bits sâ1 Hzâ1 is achievable using four OAM modes to multiplex four parallel data streams over 20 hops, provided that the detrimental effects of inter-modal crosstalk are mitigated. The spectral efficiency is expected to scale further by using more OAM modes. The BER profile along the relay chain is analysed for each of the four OAM modes
Modelling the Off-Shell Dependence of Mixing with Quark Loops
It is shown that including form factors for the quark-pseudoscalar meson
couplings of the Georgi-Manohar chiral quark model allows one to obtain the
leading off-shell dependence of mixing (as predicted by chiral
perturbation theory) from the effect of quark loops on the meson propagators.
Implications for mixing and for the effects on meson mixing
contributions to few body charge symmetry breaking observables are also
discussed.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, (2 figures, not included), LA-UR-92-291
Off-shell Behavior of the Mixing Amplitude
We extend a recent calculation of the momentum dependence of the
mixing amplitude to the pseudoscalar sector. The
mixing amplitude is calculated in a hadronic model where the mixing is driven
by the neutron-proton mass difference. Closed-form analytic expressions are
presented in terms of a few nucleon-meson parameters. The observed momentum
dependence of the mixing amplitude is strong enough as to question earlier
calculations of charge-symmetry-breaking observables based on the on-shell
assumption. The momentum dependence of the amplitude is,
however, practically identical to the one recently predicted for
mixing. Hence, in this model, the ratio of pseudoscalar to vector mixing
amplitudes is, to a good approximation, a constant solely determined from
nucleon-meson coupling constants. Furthermore, by selecting these parameters in
accordance with charge-symmetry-conserving data and SU(3)-flavor symmetry, we
reproduce the momentum dependence of the mixing amplitude
predicted from chiral perturbation theory. Alternatively, one can use
chiral-perturbation-theory results to set stringent limits on the value of the
coupling constant.Comment: 13 pages, Latex with Revtex, 3 postscript figures (not included)
