    The State Equation of the Yang-Mills field Dark Energy Models

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the possibility of building Yang-Mills(YM) field dark energy models with equation of state (EoS) crossing -1, and find that it can not be realized by the single YM field models, no matter what kind of lagrangian or initial condition. But the states of −1<ω<0-1<\omega<0 and ω<−1\omega<-1 all can be naturally got in this kind of models. The former is like a quintessence field, and the latter is like a phantom field. This makes that one can build a model with two YM fields, in which one with the initial state of −1<ω<0-1<\omega<0, and the other with ω<−1\omega<-1. We give an example model of this kind, and find that its EoS is larger than -1 in the past and less than -1 at the present time. We also find that this change must be from ω>−1\omega>-1 to <−1<-1, and it will go to the critical state of ω=−1\omega=-1 with the expansion of the Universe, which character is same with the single YM field models, and the Big Rip is naturally avoided.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures. minor typos correcte

    Natural Phantom Dark Energy, Wiggling Hubble Parameter H(z)H(z) and Direct H(z)H(z) Data

    Full text link
    Recent direct H(z)H(z) data indicate that the parameter H(z)H(z) may wiggle with respect to zz. On the other hand the luminosity distance data of supernovae flatten the wiggles of H(z)H(z) because of integration effect. It is expected that the fitting results can be very different in a model permitting a wiggling H(z)H(z) because the data of supernovae is highly degenerated to such a model. As an example the natural phantom dark energy is investigated in this paper. The dynamical property of this model is studied. The model is fitted by the direct H(z)H(z) data set and the SNLS data set, respectively. And the results are quite different, as expected. The quantum stability of this model is also shortly discussed. We find it is a viable model if we treat it as an effective theory truncated by an upperbound.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures, discussions on the stability added, conclusions not change

    Attractor Solution in Coupled Yang-Mills Field Dark Energy Models

    Full text link
    We investigate the attractor solution in the coupled Yang-Mills field dark energy models with the general interaction term, and obtain the constraint equations for the interaction if the attractor solution exists. The research also shows that, if the attractor solution exists, the equation-of-state of the dark energy must evolve from wy>0w_y>0 to wy≤−1w_y\le-1, which is slightly suggested by the observation. At the same time, the total equation-of-state in the attractor solution is wtot=−1w_{tot}=-1, the universe is a de Sitter expansion, and the cosmic big rip is naturally avoided. These features are all independent of the interacting forms.Comment: 6 pages, no figure. version for publication. IJMPD accepte

    Reconstructing quintom from WMAP 5-year observations: Generalized ghost condensate

    Full text link
    In the 5-year WMAP data analysis, a new parametrization form for dark energy equation-of-state was used, and it has been shown that the equation-of-state, w(z)w(z), crosses the cosmological-constant boundary w=−1w=-1. Based on this observation, in this paper, we investigate the reconstruction of quintom dark energy model. As a single-real-scalar-field model of dark energy, the generalized ghost condensate model provides us with a successful mechanism for realizing the quintom-like behavior. Therefore, we reconstruct this scalar-field quintom dark energy model from the WMAP 5-year observational results. As a comparison, we also discuss the quintom reconstruction based on other specific dark energy ansatzs, such as the CPL parametrization and the holographic dark energy scenarios.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figure

    Entropy-Corrected Holographic Dark Energy

    Full text link
    The holographic dark energy (HDE) is now an interesting candidate of dark energy, which has been studied extensively in the literature. In the derivation of HDE, the black hole entropy plays an important role. In fact, the entropy-area relation can be modified due to loop quantum gravity or other reasons. With the modified entropy-area relation, we propose the so-called ``entropy-corrected holographic dark energy'' (ECHDE) in the present work. We consider many aspects of ECHDE and find some interesting results. In addition, we briefly consider the so-called ``entropy-corrected agegraphic dark energy'' (ECADE).Comment: 11 pages, 2 tables, revtex4; v2: references adde

    Parallel momentum distribution of the 28^{28}Si fragments from 29^{29}P

    Full text link
    Distribution of the parallel momentum of 28^{28}Si fragments from the breakup of 30.7 MeV/nucleon 29^{29}P has been measured on C targets. The distribution has the FWHM with the value of 110.5 ±\pm 23.5 MeV/c which is consistent quantitatively with Galuber model calculation assuming by a valence proton in 29^{29}P. The density distribution is also predicted by Skyrme-Hartree-Fock calculation. Results show that there might exist the proton-skin structure in 29^{29}P.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    Get PDF
    The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE), one of the four scientific space science missions within the framework of the Strategic Pioneer Program on Space Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is a general purpose high energy cosmic-ray and gamma-ray observatory, which was successfully launched on December 17th, 2015 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The DAMPE scientific objectives include the study of galactic cosmic rays up to ∼10\sim 10 TeV and hundreds of TeV for electrons/gammas and nuclei respectively, and the search for dark matter signatures in their spectra. In this paper we illustrate the layout of the DAMPE instrument, and discuss the results of beam tests and calibrations performed on ground. Finally we present the expected performance in space and give an overview of the mission key scientific goals.Comment: 45 pages, including 29 figures and 6 tables. Published in Astropart. Phy

    Systematic studies of binding energy dependence of neutron - proton momentum correlation function

    Full text link
    Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) results of the neutron-proton correlation function have been systematically investigated for a series nuclear reactions with light projectiles with help of Isospin-Dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. The relationship between the binding energy per nucleon of the projectiles and the strength of the neutron-proton HBT at small relative momentum has been obtained. Results show that neutron-proton HBT results are sensitive to the binding energy per nucleon.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures; accepted by Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physic

    Measurement of the chi_{c2} Polarization in psi(2S) to gamma chi_{c2}

    Full text link
    The polarization of the chi_{c2} produced in psi(2S) decays into gamma chi_{c2} is measured using a sample of 14*10^6 psi(2S) events collected by BESII at the BEPC. A fit to the chi_{c2} production and decay angular distributions in psi(2S) to gamma chi_{c2}, chi_{c2} to pi pi and KK yields values x=A_1/A_0=2.08+/-0.44 and y=A_2/A_0=3.03 +/-0.66, with a correlation rho=0.92 between them, where A_{0,1,2} are the chi_{c2} helicity amplitudes. The measurement agrees with a pure E1 transition, and M2 and E3 contributions do not differ significantly from zero.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl

    Direct detection of a break in the teraelectronvolt cosmic-ray spectrum of electrons and positrons

    Full text link
    High energy cosmic ray electrons plus positrons (CREs), which lose energy quickly during their propagation, provide an ideal probe of Galactic high-energy processes and may enable the observation of phenomena such as dark-matter particle annihilation or decay. The CRE spectrum has been directly measured up to ∼2\sim 2 TeV in previous balloon- or space-borne experiments, and indirectly up to ∼5\sim 5 TeV by ground-based Cherenkov γ\gamma-ray telescope arrays. Evidence for a spectral break in the TeV energy range has been provided by indirect measurements of H.E.S.S., although the results were qualified by sizeable systematic uncertainties. Here we report a direct measurement of CREs in the energy range 25 GeV−4.6 TeV25~{\rm GeV}-4.6~{\rm TeV} by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) with unprecedentedly high energy resolution and low background. The majority of the spectrum can be properly fitted by a smoothly broken power-law model rather than a single power-law model. The direct detection of a spectral break at E∼0.9E \sim0.9 TeV confirms the evidence found by H.E.S.S., clarifies the behavior of the CRE spectrum at energies above 1 TeV and sheds light on the physical origin of the sub-TeV CREs.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, Nature in press, doi:10.1038/nature2447
