Quantal description of nucleon exchange in stochastic mean-field approach
Nucleon exchange mechanism is investigated in central collisions of symmetric
heavy-ions in the basis of the stochastic mean-field approach. Quantal
diffusion coefficients for nucleon exchange are calculated by including
non-Markovian effects and shell structure. Variances of fragment mass
distributions are calculated in central collisions of Ca +
Ca, Ca + Ca and Ni + Ni systems
Higher meson resonances in and
The role of higher meson resonances with spin 1 and 2 is investigated
quantitatively in the decay processes of and
. Among the higher resonances, we find that the
tensor meson can give a nontrivial contribution especially to the
decay process. When the contribution is
combined with the processes involving the vector and scalar meson intermediate
states, a good agreement with the recent measurements is achieved for both
decays. The effect of the is found to be sizable at the
intermediate photon energies and may be verified by precise measurements of the
recoil photon spectrum of the decay. The
dependence of the decay widths on various models for the - mixing
in the literature is also investigated.Comment: 16 pages, REVTeX, 6 figures, revised version, to appear in Phys. Rev.
rho(omega)-> pi^0 pi^0 gamma, rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma decays in the local quark Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model
The branching ratios and photon spectra of the rare processes rho(omega)->
pi^0 pi^0 gamma, rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma are calculated in the framework
of the standard local quark Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Three types of
diagrams are considered: the quark box and the pole diagrams with scalar
(sigma,a_0(980)) and vector (rho,omega) mesons. The obtained estimations for
the widths of the processes rho(omega)-> pi^0 pi^0 gamma are in satisfactory
agreement with existing experimental data. Predictions are made for the widths
of the processes rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Scalar sigma meson effects in radiative rho^0-meson decays
We study the radiative and decays and we calculate their branching ratios using a
phenomenological approach by adding to the amplitude calculated within the
framework of chiral perturbation theory and vector meson dominance the
amplitude of -meson intermediate state. Our results for the branching
ratios are in good agreement with the experimental values.Comment: to be published in Phys. Rev.
Collisional Damping of Nuclear Collective Vibrations in a Non-Markovian Transport Approach
A detailed derivation of the collisional widths of collective vibrations is
presented in both quantal and semi-classical frameworks by considering the
linearized limits of the extended TDHF and the BUU model with a non-Markovian
binary collision term. Damping widths of giant dipole and giant quadrupole
excitations are calculated by employing an effective Skyrme force, and the
results are compared with GDR measurements in Lead and Tin nuclei at finite
temperature.Comment: 23 pages, 6 Figure
The decay and the coupling constant g
The experimental branching ratio for the radiative decay

Interference effects in the decay \phi\to \pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma and the coupling constant g_{\phi\sigma\gamma}
We study the radiative decay within the
framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of
-meson, -meson and -meson are considered. We analyze the
interference effects between different contributions and utilizing the
experimental branching ratio for this decay we estimate the coupling constant

Radiative Scalar Meson Decays in the Light-Front Quark Model
We construct a relativistic wavefunction for scalar mesons within the
framework of light-front quark model(LFQM). This scalar wavefunction is used to
perform relativistic calculations of absolute widths for the radiative decay
processes, and
which incorporate the effects of glueball-
mixing. The mixed physical states are assumed to be ,and
for which the flavor-glue content is taken from the mixing
calculations of other works. Since experimental data for these processes are
poor, our results are compared with those of a recent non-relativistic model
calculation. We find that while the relativistic corrections introduced by the
LFQM reduce the magnitudes of the decay widths by 50-70%, the relative
strengths between different decay processes are fairly well preserved. We also
calculate decay widths for the processes and
(0^{++})\to\gamma\gamm involving the light scalars and
to test the simple model of these mesons. Our results of
model for these processes are not quite consistent with well-established data,
further supporting the idea that and are not conventional
states.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
