Formation of Heavy Meson Bound States by Two Nucleon Pick-up Reactions
We develop a model to evaluate the formation rate of the heavy mesic nuclei
in the two nucleon pick-up reactions, and apply it to the Li target cases
for the formation of heavy meson- bound states, as examples. The
existence of the quasi-deuteron in the target nucleus is assumed in this model.
It is found that the mesic nuclei formation in the recoilless kinematics is
possible even for heavier mesons than nucleon in the two nucleon pick-up
reactions. We find the formation rate of the meson- bound states can be
around half of the elementary cross sections at the recoilless kinematics with
small distortions.Comment: 1 table, 10 figures, 8 page
Pionic Atom Spectroscopy in the (d,3He) reaction at finite angles
We study the formation of deeply bound pionic atoms in the (d,3He) reactions
theoretically and show the energy spectra of the emitted 3He at finite angles,
which are expected to be observed experimentally. We find that the different
combinations of the pion-bound and neutron-hole states dominate the spectra at
different scattering angles because of the matching condition of the reaction.
We conclude that the observation of the (d,3He) reaction at finite angles will
provide the systematic information of the pionic bound states in each nucleus
and will help to develop the study of the pion properties and the partial
restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclei.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Effects of electronic correlation on X-Ray absorption and dichroic spectra at L edge
We present a new theoretical approach to describe X-Ray absorption and
Magnetic Circular Dichroism spectra in the presence of e-e correlation. Our
approach provides an unified picture to include correlations in both charged
and neutral excitations, namely in direct / inversion photoemission where
electrons are removed/added, and photo absorption where electrons are promoted
from core levels to empty states. We apply this approach to the prototypical
case of L edge of 3 transition metals and we show that the inclusion
of many body effects in the core level excitations is essential to reproduce,
together with satellite structures in core level photoemission, the observed
asymmetric line shapes in X-ray absorption and dichroic spectra.Comment: 3 figures, 5 pages, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Kummiluokkatoiminnan arviointi
Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli kuvata ja arvioida kummiluokkatoimintaa ja sen vaikutuksia sairaanhoitajaopiskelijan/terveydenhoitajaopiskelijan opintoihin sekä työelämään pääsemiseen ja sopeutumiseen.
Tämä opinnäytetyö toteutettiin empiirisenä tutkimuksena. Kummiluokkatoimintaa arvioitiin kyselyn avulla. Kysely tehtiin sähköisenä Webropol-kyselynä. Kysely lähetettiin sähköpostitse 55 hoitoalan opiskelijalle, jotka olivat olleet mukana kummiluokkatoiminnassa. Kyselyyn vastasi yhdeksän opiskelijaa, vastausprosentti oli 16,36 %. Kysely sisälsi sekä avoimia kysymyksiä että monivalintakysymyksiä. Vastausten analysointiin käytettiin sisällönanalyysiä sekä tilastointia.
Kyselyn tulokseksi saatiin, että opiskelijat eivät pääosin olleet tyytyväisiä kummiluokkatoimintaan sellaisena kuin se oli toteutunut. Kummiluokkatapaamisia oli ollut liian vähän, eikä niillä ollut vaikutusta työn saantiin. Kuitenkin se toiminta, mitä opiskelijoille oli tarjottu, oli mieleistä. Muutaman opiskelijan mielestä toiminta oli lisännyt halua työskennellä Varsinais-Suomen sairaanhoitopiirissä ja yhden mielestä se oli tehnyt työnhausta helpompaa. Myös vierailukäynnit ja esitykset olivat olleet kiinnostavia, niitä olisi vain pitänyt olla enemmän.
Tämän opinnäytetyön tuomaa tietoa voidaan käyttää kummiluokkatoiminnan kehittämiseen, jotta hoitoalan opiskelijat saadaan yhä enemmän sitoutumaan ja kiinnostumaan tulevasta ammatistaan. Saadut tulokset antavat myös lisää syitä kummiluokkatoiminnan jatkamiselle. Jatkotutkimuksina voisi selvittää, miten kummiluokkatoiminta vaikuttaa Turun Yliopistolliseen sairaalaan ja VSSHP:in, eli hyötyykö toiminnasta opiskelijoiden lisäksi myös organisaatio.The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the godparent activities and its effects on nursing studies, as well as to work to reach and adjust.
This thesis has been implemented by empirical research. Godparent activity was assessed using an inquiry. The inquiry was conducted by Webropol survey. The inquiry was sent by e-mail of 55 nursing students, who had been involved in godparent activities. Nine students responded to the inquiry, the response rate was 16.36%. The inquiry contained both open questions and multiple choice questions. Content analysis and statistics were used for the analysis of the responses.
The inquiry led to the result that students are not generally been satisfied with the godparent activities as it had been. Godparent meetings were only few, nor did they have the effect of employment. However, it is low, what activities were offered to students was worthwhile. A few view, the activities had added desire to work in Hospital District of Southwest Finland, and one thought it was done work search easier. Also, visits and information lectures were interesting; they would only have been more.
This thesis can be used to develop the godparent activities, to get nursing students to increasingly commit to and interested in their future profession. The information obtained will also provide more reasons to continuation of godparent activities.
Possible further studies could figure out how godparent activities affect the Turku University Hospital and in Hospital District of Southwest Finland, to benefit for the students, but also the organization
Multiplet ligand-field theory using Wannier orbitals
We demonstrate how ab initio cluster calculations including the full Coulomb
vertex can be done in the basis of the localized, generalized Wannier orbitals
which describe the low-energy density functional (LDA) band structure of the
infinite crystal, e.g. the transition metal 3d and oxygen 2p orbitals. The
spatial extend of our 3d Wannier orbitals (orthonormalized Nth order muffin-tin
orbitals) is close to that found for atomic Hartree-Fock orbitals. We define
Ligand orbitals as those linear combinations of the O 2p Wannier orbitals which
couple to the 3d orbitals for the chosen cluster. The use of ligand orbitals
allows for a minimal Hilbert space in multiplet ligand-field theory
calculations, thus reducing the computational costs substantially. The result
is a fast and simple ab initio theory, which can provide useful information
about local properties of correlated insulators. We compare results for NiO,
MnO and SrTiO3 with x-ray absorption, inelastic x-ray scattering, and
photoemission experiments. The multiplet ligand field theory parameters found
by our ab initio method agree within ~10% to known experimental values
Constraining the optical potential in the search for eta-mesic 4He
A consistent description of the
^{4}\hspace{-0.03cm}\mbox{He} \eta and
(He) cross sections was recently proposed
with a broad range of real () and imaginary (W0), -He optical
potential parameters leading to a good agreement with the d d -> 4He eta data.
Here we compare the predictions of the model below the production
threshold, with the WASA-at-COSY excitation functions for the dd -> 3He N pi
reactions to put stronger constraints on (V0, W0). The allowed parameter space
(with |V_0| < \sim 60 MeV and |W_0| < \sim 7 MeV estimated at 90% CL ) excludes
most optical model predictions of eta-4He nuclei except for some loosely bound
narrow states
