Cluster dynamical mean field theory of quantum phases on a honeycomb lattice
We have studied the ground state of the half-filled Hubbard model on a
honeycomb lattice by performing the cluster dynamical mean field theory
calculations with exact diagonalization on the cluster-impurity solver. Through
using elaborate numerical analytic continuation, we identify the existence of a
`spin liquid' from the on-site interaction U=0 to (between and
) with a smooth crossover correspondingly from the charge fluctuation
dominating phase into the charge correlation dominating phase. The
semi-metallic state exits only at U=0. We further find that the magnetic phase
transition at from the `spin liquid' to the N\'{e}el antiferromagnetic
Mott insulating phase is a first-order quantum phase transition. We also show
that the charge fluctuation plays a substantial role on keeping the `spin
liquid' phase against the emergence of a magnetic order.Comment: 5 pages and 8 figure
Study of pesudoscalar transition form factors within light front quark model
We study the transition form factors of the pesudoscalar mesons (
and ) as functions of the momentum transfer within the
light-front quark model. We compare our results with the recent experimental
data by CELLO, CLEO, BaBar and Belle. By considering the possible uncertainties
from the quark masses, we illustrate that our predicted form factors can fit
with all the data, including those at the large regions.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Theory of high energy features in angle-resolved photo-emission spectra of hole-doped cuprates
The recent angle-resolved photoemission measurements performed up to binding
energies of the order of 1eV reveals a very robust feature: the nodal
quasi-particle dispersion breaks up around 0.3-0.4eV and reappears around
0.6-0.8eV. The intensity map in the energy-momentum space shows a waterfall
like feature between these two energy scales. We argue and numerically
demonstrate that these experimental features follow naturally from the strong
correlation effects built in the familiar t-J model, and reflect the connection
between the fermi level and the lower Hubbard band. The results were obtained
by a mean field theory that effectively projects electrons by quantum
interference between two bands of fermions instead of binding slave particles.Comment: 5 pages 2 fig
Quantum Oscillations in Magnetic Field Induced Antiferromagnetic Phase of Underdoped Cuprates : Application to Ortho-II YBa2Cu3O6.5
Magnetic field induced antiferromagnetic phase of the underdoped cuprates is
studied within the t-t'-J model. A magnetic field suppresses the pairing
amplitude, which in turn may induce antiferromagnetism. We apply our theory to
interpret the recently reported quantum oscillations in high magnetic field in
ortho-II YBa2Cu3O6.5 and propose that the total hole density abstracted from
the oscillation period is reduced by 50% due to the antiferromagnetism.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Interlayer couplings and the coexistence of antiferromagnetic and d-wave pairing order in multilayer cuprates
A more extended low density region of coexisting uniform antiferromagnetism
and d-wave superconductivity has been reported in multilayer cuprates, when
compared to single or bilayer cuprates. This coexistence could be due to the
enhanced screening of random potential modulations in inner layers or to the
interlayer Heisenberg and Josephson couplings. A theoretical analysis using a
renormalized mean field theory, favors the former explanation. The potential
for an improved determination of the antiferromagnetic and superconducting
order parameters in an ideal single layer from zero field NMR and infrared
Josephson plasma resonances in multilayer cuprates is discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
Soft Gluon Resummation Effects in Single Slepton Production at Hadron Colliders
We investigate QCD effects in the production of a single slepton at hadron
colliders in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model without R-parity. We
calculate the total cross sections and the transverse momentum distributions at
next-to-leading order in QCD. The NLO corrections enhance the total cross
sections and decrease the dependence of the total cross sections on the
factorization and renormalization scales. For the differential cross sections,
we resum all order soft gluon effects to give reliable predictions for the
transverse momentum distributions. We also compare two approaches to the
non-perturbative parametrization and found that the results are slightly
different at the Tevatron and are in good agreement at the LHC. Our results can
be useful to the simulation of the events and to the future collider
experiments.Comment: 26 pages, 12 figures, RevTeX4; Minor changes; Version to appear in

On the origin of the Fermi arc phenomena in the underdoped cuprates: signature of KT-type superconducting transition
We study the effect of thermal phase fluctuation on the electron spectral
function in a d-wave superconductor with Monte Carlo simulation.
The phase degree of freedom is modeled by a XY-type model with build-in d-wave
character. We find a ridge-like structure emerges abruptly on the underlying
Fermi surface in above the KT-transition temperature of the XY
model. Such a ridge-like structure, which shares the same characters with the
Fermi arc observed in the pseudogap phase of the underdoped cuprates, is found
to be caused by the vortex-like phase fluctuation of the XY model.Comment: 5 page
Gluon Fusion induced Zg and Zgg Productions in the Standard Model at the LHC
We report calculations of the gluon induced Zg and Zgg productions in the
Standard Model at the LHC operating at both 7 TeV and 14 TeV collision energy.
We present total cross sections and differential distributions of the processes
and compare them with the leading and next-to-leading order QCD pp -> Z+1 jet,
Z+2 jets results. Our results show that the gluon induced Zg and Zgg
productions contribute to pp -> Z+1 jet, Z+2 jets at 1% level.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
