decays
Effective chiral theory of mesons is applied to study the four decay modes of
. Theoretical values of the branching ratios are in
agreement with the data. The theory predicts that the resonance plays a
dominant role in these decays. There is no new parameter in this study.Comment: 12 pages and one figur
Sea-quark effects in the pion charge form factor
It is shown that the data on the pion charge form factor admit the
possibility for a substantial sea-quark components in the pion wave function.
If the charge form factor is calculated with instant form kinematics in a
constituent quark model that is extended to include explicit
components in the pion wave function, that component will give the dominant
contribution to the calculated charge form factor at large values of
momentum transfer. The present experimental values can be described well
with component admixtures of up to 50%. The sensitivity of the
calculated charge form factor to whether one of the quarks or one of
the antiquarks is taken to be in the P-state is small.Comment: 14 page
Isospin relaxation time in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies
Using an isospin-dependent transport model, we have studied the isospin and
momentum relaxation times in the heavy residues formed in heavy-ion collisions
at intermediate energies. It is found that only at incident energies below the
Fermi energy, chemical or thermal equilibrium can be reached before dynamical
instability is developed in the heavy residues. Also, the isospin relaxation
time is shorter (longer) than that for momentum at beam energies lower (higher)
than the Fermi energy.Comment: 8 pages Latex + 2 ps Figs.; Phys. Rev. C in pres
Universal statistics of wave functions in chaotic and disordered systems
We study a new statistics of wave functions in several chaotic and disordered
systems: the random matrix model, band random matrix model, the Lipkin model,
chaotic quantum billiard and the 1D tight-binding model. Both numerical and
analytical results show that the distribution function of a generalized Riccati
variable, defined as the ratio of components of eigenfunctions on basis states
coupled by perturbation, is universal, and has the form of Lorentzian
distribution.Comment: 6 Europhys pages, 2 Ps figures, new version to appear in Europhys.

Particle Spectrum of the Supersymmetric Standard Model from the Massless Excitations of a Four Dimensional Superstring
A superstring action is quantised with Neveu Schwarz(NS) and Ramond(R)
boundary conditions. The zero mass states of the NS sector are classified as
the vector gluons, W-mesons, -mesons and scalars containing Higgs. The
fifteen zero mass fermions are obtained from the Ramond sector. A space time
supersymmetric Hamiltonian of the Standard Model is presented without any
conventional SUSY particles
Covariant gaussian approximation in Ginzburg - Landau model
Condensed matter systems undergoing second order transition away from the
critical fluctuation region are usually described sufficiently well by the mean
field approximation. The critical fluctuation region, determined by the
Ginzburg criterion, , is narrow even
in high superconductors and has universal features well captured by the
renormalization group method. However recent experiments on magnetization,
conductivity and Nernst effect suggest that fluctuations effects are large in a
wider region both above and below . In particular some "pseudogap"
phenomena and strong renormalization of the mean field critical temperature
can be interpreted as strong fluctuations effects that are
nonperturbative (cannot be accounted for by "gaussian fluctuations"). The
physics in a broader region therefore requires more accurate approach. Self
consistent methods are generally "non - conserving" in the sense that the Ward
identities are not obeyed. This is especially detrimental in the symmetry
broken phase where, for example, Goldstone bosons become massive. Covariant
gaussian approximation remedies these problems. The Green's functions obey all
the Ward identities and describe the fluctuations much better. The results for
the order parameter correlator and magnetic penetration depth of the Ginzburg -
Landau model of superconductivity are compared with both Monte Carlo
simulations and experiments in high cuprates.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figure
