    Large-N Collective Field Theory Applied to Anyons in Magnetic Fields

    Full text link
    We present a large-NN collective field formalism for anyons in external magnetic fields interacting with arbitrary two-body potential. We discuss how the Landau level is reproduced in our framework. We apply it to the soluble model for anyons proposed by Girvin et al., and obtain the dispersion relation of collective modes for arbitrary statistical parameters.Comment: 10 pages(Plain TeX) TMUP-HEL-930

    Are the anti-charmed and bottomed pentaquarks molecular heptaquarks?

    Full text link
    I study the charmed uuddcˉuudd\bar c resonance D*p (3100) very recently discovered by the H1 collaboration at Hera. An anticharmed resonance was already predicted, in a recent publication mostly dedicated to the S=1 resonance Theta+(1540). To confirm these recent predictions, I apply the same standard quark model with a quark-antiquark annihilation constrained by chiral symmetry. I find that repulsion excludes the D*p (3100) as a uuddcˉuudd\bar c s-wave pentaquark. I explore the D*p (3100) as a heptaquark, equivalent to a N-pi-D* linear molecule, with positive parity and total isospin I=0. I find that the N-D repulsion is cancelled by the attraction existing in the N-pi and pi-D channels. In our framework this state is harder to bind than the Theta+ described by a k-pi-N borromean bound-state, a lower binding energy is expected in agreement with the H1 observation. Multiquark molecules N-pi-D, N-pi-B* and N-pi-B are also predicted.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, RevTe

    Interfaces of correlated electron systems: Proposed mechanism for colossal electroresistance

    Full text link
    Mott's metal-insulator transition at an interface due to band bending is studied by the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). We show that the result can be recovered by a simple modification of the conventional Poisson's equation approach used in semi-conductor heterojunctions. A novel mechanism of colossal electroresistance is proposed, which incorporates the hysteretic behavior of the transition in higher dimensions.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, title change

    ΩcγΩc\Omega_c \gamma \rightarrow\Omega_c^\ast transition in lattice QCD

    Get PDF
    We study the electromagnetic ΩcγΩc\Omega_c \gamma \rightarrow\Omega_c^\ast transition in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD, which gives access to the dominant decay mode of Ωc\Omega_c^\ast baryon. The magnetic dipole and the electric quadrupole transition form factors are computed. The magnetic dipole form factor is found to be mainly determined by the strange quark and the electric quadrupole form factor to be negligibly small, in consistency with the quark model. We also evaluate the helicity amplitudes and the decay rate.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure. Added references and discussio

    Anisotropic Lattice QCD Studies of Penta-quark Anti-decuplet

    Full text link
    Anti-decuplet penta-quark baryon is studied with the quenched anisotropic lattice QCD for accurate measurement of the correlator. Both the positive and negative parity states are studied using a non-NK type interpolating field with I=0 and J=1/2. After the chiral extrapolation, the lowest positive parity state is found at m_{Theta} \simeq 2.25 GeV, which is too massive to be identified with the experimentally observed Theta^+(1540). The lowest negative parity state is found at m_{Theta}\simeq 1.75 GeV, which is rather close to the empirical value. To confirm that this state is a compact 5Q resonance, a new method with ``hybrid boundary condition (HBC)'' is proposed. The HBC analysis shows that the observed state in the negative parity channel is an NK scattering state.Comment: A talk given at International Workshop PENTAQUARK04, July 20-23, 2004 at SPring-8, Japan, 8 pages, 7 figures, 2 table

    Spin 3/2 Penta-quarks in anisotropic lattice QCD

    Get PDF
    A high-precision mass measurement for the pentaquark (5Q) Theta^+ in J^P=3/2^{\pm} channel is performed in anisotropic quenched lattice QCD using a large number of gauge configurations as N_{conf}=1000. We employ the standard Wilson gauge action at beta=5.75 and the O(a) improved Wilson (clover) quark action with kappa=0.1210(0.0010)0.1240 on a 12^3 \times 96 lattice with the renormalized anisotropy as a_s/a_t = 4. The Rarita-Schwinger formalism is adopted for the interpolating fields. Several types of the interpolating fields with isospin I=0 are examined such as (a) the NK^*-type, (b) the (color-)twisted NK^*-type, (c) a diquark-type. The chiral extrapolation leads to only massive states, i.e., m_{5Q} \simeq 2.1-2.2 GeV in J^P=3/2^- channel, and m_{5Q} = 2.4-2.6 GeV in J^P=3/2^+ channel. The analysis with the hybrid boundary condition(HBC) is performed to investigate whether these states are compact 5Q resonances or not. No low-lying compact 5Q resonance states are found below 2.1GeV.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, 4 table

    Relation between the separable and one-boson-exchange potential for the covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation

    Full text link
    We investigate the relation between the rank I separable potential for the covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation and the one-boson-exchange potential. After several trials of the parameter choices, it turns out that it is not always possible to reproduce the phase-shifts calculated from a single term of the one-boson-exchange potential especially of the σ\sigma-exchange term, separately by the rank I separable potential. Instead, it is shown that the separable potential is useful to parameterize the total nucleon-nucleon interaction.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, to appear in J.Phys.

    Proposal for exotic-hadron search by fragmentation functions

    Full text link
    It is proposed that fragmentation functions should be used to identify exotic hadrons. As an example, fragmentation functions of the scalar meson f_0(980) are investigated. It is pointed out that the second moments and functional forms of the u- and s-quark fragmentation functions can distinguish the tetraquark structure from qqˉq\bar q. By the global analysis of f_0 (980) production data in electron-positron annihilation, its fragmentation functions and their uncertainties are determined. It is found that the current available data are not sufficient to determine its internal structure, while precise data in future should be able to identify exotic quark configurations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, revtex, To be published in PR

    Quantum description for a chiral condensate disoriented in a certain direction in isospace

    Get PDF
    We derive a quantum state of the disoriented chiral condensate dynamically, considering small quantum fluctuations around a classical chiral condensate disoriented in a certain direction n \vec n in isospace. The obtained nonisosinglet quantum state has the characteristic features; (i) it has the form of the squeezed state, (ii) the state contains not only the component of pion quanta in the direction n \vec n but also the component in the perpendicular direction to n \vec n and (iii) the low momentum pions in the state violate the isospin symmetry. With the quantum state, we calculate the probability of the neutral fraction depending on the time and the pion's momentum, and find that the probability has an unfamiliar form. For the low momentum pions, the parametric resonance mechanism works with the result that the probability of the neutral fraction becomes the well known form approximately and that the charge fluctuation is small.Comment: 19 page
