    Effective field theory of the deuteron with dibaryon field

    Full text link
    Pionless effective field theory with dibaryon fields is reexamined for observables involving the deuteron. The electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron and the total cross sections of radiative neutron capture on the proton, npdγnp \to d\gamma, are calculated. The low energy constants of vector(photon)-dibaryon-dibaryon vertices in the effective lagrangian are fixed primarily by the one-body vector(photon)-nucleon-nucleon interactions. This scheme for fixing the values of the low energy constants satisfactorily reproduces the results of the effective range theory. We also show that, by including higher order corrections, one can obtain results that are close to those of Argonne v18 potential model.Comment: 25 pages and 11 figures; 16 references added, Figure 6 and 7 replotted, text revised a lot.

    Macrozoneamentos ecológico-econômicos foram instituídos pelo governo federal e têm como finalidade identificar potencialidades e limitações de recursos naturais e da sociedade com base em um diagnóstico socioambiental e com o propósito de apoiar a formulação e execução de políticas de desenvolvimento regional . Indicadores socioeconômicos são instrumentos importantes em todas as fases do processo de formulação, implementação, monitoramento e avaliação das políticas públicas, e são elementos indispensáveis para a elaboração de macrozoneamentos ecológico-econômicos . O objetivo deste trabalho foi espacializar indicadores socioeconômicos que serão utilizados como subsídio para a elaboração do Macrozoneamento Ecológico-Econômico do Estado do Maranhão. Foram adotados, como unidade de referência territorial, os 217 municípios que compõem o estado e, como fonte de dados, a Produção Agrícola Municipal (PAM) do IBGE e o Censo Demográfico do IBGE. Foram selecionados os principais indicadores socioeconômicos, como saneamento básico, energia, água potável, saúde, educação, entre outros. O procedimento metodológico utilizado foi: definição e levantamento dos indicadores; criação e formatação das tabelas com auxílio do programa Excel; e, por fim, a utilização do software ArcGIS (ESRI), que, por meio das planilhas criadas, dos geocódigos municipais e dos shapefile disponibilizados pelo IBGE, possibilitou espacializar os dados e, assim, gerar os mapas temáticos. A espacialização dos indicadores pode contribuir para a formulação de políticas públicas em diferentes níveis de governo e, assim, para que sejam tomadas decisões mais adequadas

    Quenching of the Deuteron in Flight

    Get PDF
    We investigate the Lorentz contraction of a deuteron in flight. Our starting point is the Blankenbecler-Sugar projection of the Bethe-Salpeter equation to a 3-dimensional quasi potential equation, wqhich we apply for the deuteron bound in an harmonic oscillator potential (for an analytical result) and by the Bonn NN potential for a more realistic estimate. We find substantial quenching with increasing external momenta and a significant modification of the high momentum spectrum of the deuteron.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

    Dinâmica da cobertura do solo brasileiro: projeto trees 3

    Este trabalho trata da validação das classificações realizadas para o território brasileiro nos anos de 1990 e 2000 pelo projeto Global Monitoring (TREES-3), uma parceria entre a Organização das Nações Unidas para Agricultura e Alimentação (FAO) e o Joint Research Centre (JRC). O objetivo foi estimar a dinâmica da cobertura vegetal nas áreas de interesse no período de 1990 a 2000. Um total de 708 amostras de imagens Landsat com 400 km2 de área cada passou pelos processos de segmentação e classificação supervisionada. A validação foi feita visualmente com o auxílio do Google Earth e teve como resultado 16% de mudança da cobertura vegetal florestal para outro tipo de cobertura (other land cover) nas áreas já validadas, que são Amazônia, Cerrado e Maranhão. No Pampa houve um aumento de 2% de cobertura florestal, devido à crescente prática de plantio de florestas homogêneas, que consiste na plantação de pinus e eucalipto para exploração madeireira

    Chiral effective theory predictions for deuteron form factor ratios at low Q^2

    Get PDF
    We use chiral effective theory to predict the deuteron form factor ratio G_C/G_Q as well as ratios of deuteron to nucleon form factors. These ratios are calculated to next-to-next-to-leading order. At this order the chiral expansion for the NN isoscalar charge operator (including consistently calculated 1/M corrections) is a parameter-free prediction of the effective theory. Use of this operator in conjunction with NLO and NNLO chiral effective theory wave functions produces results that are consistent with extant experimental data for Q^2 < 0.35 GeV^2. These wave functions predict a deuteron quadrupole moment G_Q(Q^2=0)=0.278-0.282 fm^2-with the variation arising from short-distance contributions to this quantity. The variation is of the same size as the discrepancy between the theoretical result and the experimental value. This motivates the renormalization of G_Q via a two-nucleon operator that couples to quadrupole photons. After that renormalization we obtain a robust prediction for the shape of G_C/G_Q at Q^2 < 0.3 GeV^2. This allows us to make precise, model-independent predictions for the values of this ratio that will be measured at the lower end of the kinematic range explored at BLAST. We also present results for the ratio G_C/G_M.Comment: 31 pages, 7 figure

    Radiative corrections to polarization observables in elastic electron-deuteron scattering in leptonic variables

    Full text link
    The model--independent QED radiative corrections to polarization observables in elastic scattering of unpolarized and longitudinally--polarized electron beam by the deuteron target have been calculated in leptonic variables. The experimental setup when the deuteron target is arbitrarily polarized is considered and the procedure for applying derived results to the vector or tensor polarization of the recoil deuteron is discussed. The basis of the calculations consists of the account for all essential Feynman diagrams which results in the form of the Drell-Yan representation for the cross-section and use of the covariant parametrization of the deuteron polarization state. The numerical estimates of the radiative corrections are given for the case when event selection allows the undetected particles (photons and electron-positron pairs) and the restriction on the lost invariant mass is used.Comment: 43 pages,3 figures.

    Light-cone QCD predictions for elastic ed-scattering in the intermediate energy region

    Get PDF
    The contributions of helicity-flip matrix elements to the deuteron form factors are discussed in the light-cone frame. Normalized A(Q2)A(Q^2), B(Q2)B(Q^2), GQ(Q2)G_Q(Q^2) and T20T_{20} are obtained in a simple QCD-inspired model. We find that G++G_{+-}^+ plays an important role in GQ(Q2)G_Q(Q^2). Our numerical results are consistent with the data in the intermediate energy region.Comment: 9 pages, REVTeX file, 5 figure

    Electron-deuteron scattering in the equal-time formalism: beyond the impulse approximation

    Full text link
    Using a three-dimensional formalism that includes relativistic kinematics, the effects of negative-energy states, approximate boosts of the two-body system, and current conservation, we calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the deuteron up to Q^2 of 4 GeV^2. This is done using a dynamical boost for two-body systems with spin. We first compute form factors in impulse approxmation, but then also add an isoscalar meson-exchange current of pion range that involves the gamma-pi contact operator associated with pseudovector pi-N coupling. We also consider effects of the rho-pi-gamma meson-exchange current. The experimentally measured quantities A, B, and t20 are calculated over the kinematic range probed in recent Jefferson Laboratory experiments. The rho-pi-gamma meson-exchange current provides significant strength in A at large Q^2 and the gamma-pi contact-term exchange current shifts t20, providing good agreement with the JLab data. Relativistic effects and the gamma-pi meson-exchange current do not provide an explanation of the B observable, but the rho-pi-gamma current could help to provide agreement if a nonstandard value is used for the tensor rho-N coupling that enters this contribution.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures. (v2) Added references on rho-pi-gamma current as well as comparison to recent Novosibirsk data on T20. Implemented \includegraphics in place of \BoxedEPSF.
