Statistical Properties of Fermionic Molecular Dynamics
Statistical properties of Fermionic Molecular Dynamics are studied. It is
shown that, although the centroids of the single--particle wave--packets follow
classical trajectories in the case of a harmonic oscillator potential, the
equilibrium properties of the system are the quantum mechanical ones. A system
of weakly interacting fermions as well as of distinguishable particles is found
to be ergodic and the time--averaged occupation probabilities approach the
quantum canonical ones of Fermi--Dirac and Boltzmann statistics, respectively.Comment: 16 pages, several postscript figures, uses 'epsfig.sty'. More

Tables of Hyperonic Matter Equation of State for Core-Collapse Supernovae
We present sets of equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter including
hyperons using an SU_f(3) extended relativistic mean field (RMF) model with a
wide coverage of density, temperature, and charge fraction for numerical
simulations of core collapse supernovae. Coupling constants of Sigma and Xi
hyperons with the sigma meson are determined to fit the hyperon potential
depths in nuclear matter, U_Sigma(rho_0) ~ +30 MeV and U_Xi(rho_0) ~ -15 MeV,
which are suggested from recent analyses of hyperon production reactions. At
low densities, the EOS of uniform matter is connected with the EOS by Shen et
al., in which formation of finite nuclei is included in the Thomas-Fermi
approximation. In the present EOS, the maximum mass of neutron stars decreases
from 2.17 M_sun (Ne mu) to 1.63 M_sun (NYe mu) when hyperons are included. In a
spherical, adiabatic collapse of a 15 star by the hydrodynamics
without neutrino transfer, hyperon effects are found to be small, since the
temperature and density do not reach the region of hyperon mixture, where the
hyperon fraction is above 1 % (T > 40 MeV or rho_B > 0.4 fm^{-3}).Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures (Fig.3 and related comments on pion potential are

Multi-phases in gauge theories on non-simply connected spaces
It is pointed out that phase structures of gauge theories compactified on
non-simply connected spaces are not trivial. As a demonstration, an SU(2) gauge
model on is studied and is shown to possess three phases:
Hosotani, Higgs and coexisting phases. The critical radius and the order of the
phase transitions are explicitly determined. A general discussion about phase
structures for small and large scales of compactified spaces is given. The
appearance of phase transitions suggests a GUT scenario in which the gauge
hierarchy problem is replaced by a dynamical problem of how to stabilize a
radius of a compactified space in close vicinity to a critical radius.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
Design of a Broadband Amplifier for High Speed Applications
This paper provides comprehensive insight into the design approach followed for an amplifier dedicated to high speed base band signals. To demonstrate the methodology, an amplifier consisting of nine PHEMT cascode cells within a distributed amplifier topology was designed. The resulting frequency response is 40 GHz at the 3-dB point, and the output voltage for a 43 Gbps eye diagram is 7.3 Vpp at the chip terminal
Three-Dimensional Simulations of Standing Accretion Shock Instability in Core-Collapse Supernovae
We have studied non-axisymmetric standing accretion shock instability, or
SASI, by 3D hydrodynamical simulations. This is an extention of our previous
study on axisymmetric SASI. We have prepared a spherically symmetric and steady
accretion flow through a standing shock wave onto a proto-neutron star, taking
into account a realistic equation of state and neutrino heating and cooling.
This unperturbed model is supposed to represent approximately the typical
post-bounce phase of core-collapse supernovae. We then have added a small
perturbation (~1%) to the radial velocity and computed the ensuing evolutions.
Not only axisymmetric but non-axisymmetric perturbations have been also
imposed. We have applied mode analysis to the non-spherical deformation of the
shock surface, using the spherical harmonics. We have found that (1) the growth
rates of SASI are degenerate with respect to the azimuthal index m of the
spherical harmonics Y_l^m, just as expected for a spherically symmetric
background, (2) nonlinear mode couplings produce only m=0 modes for the
axisymmetric perturbations, whereas m=!0 modes are also generated in the
non-axisymmetric cases according to the selection rule for the quadratic
couplings, (3) the nonlinear saturation level of each mode is lower in general
for 3D than for 2D because a larger number of modes are contributing to
turbulence in 3D, (4) low l modes are dominant in the nonlinear phase, (5) the
equi-partition is nearly established among different m modes in the nonlinear
phase, (6) the spectra with respect to l obey power laws with a slope slightly
steeper for 3D, and (7) although these features are common to the models with
and without a shock revival at the end of simulation, the dominance of low l
modes is more remarkable in the models with a shock revival.Comment: 37 pages, 16 figures, and 1 table, submitted to Ap
Studying Diquark Structure of Heavy Baryons in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
We propose the enhancement of yield in heavy ion collisions at
RHIC and LHC as a novel signal for the existence of diquarks in the strongly
coupled quark-gluon plasma produced in these collisions as well as in the
. Assuming that stable bound diquarks can exist in the quark-gluon
plasma, we argue that the yield of would be increased by two-body
collisions between diquarks and quarks, in addition to normal
three-body collisions among , and quarks. A quantitative study of
this effect based on the coalescence model shows that including the
contribution of diquarks to production indeed leads to a
substantial enhancement of the ratio in heavy ion collisions.Comment: Prepared for Chiral Symmetry in Hadron and Nuclear Physics

Sigma meson in QCD sum rules using a two quark current with derivatives
We study the meson in QCD sum rules using a two quark interpolating
field with derivatives. In the constituent quark model, the meson is
composed of a quark and an antiquark in the relative p-wave state and is thus
expected to have a larger overlap with an interpolating field that measures the
derivative of the relative quark wave-function. While the sum rule with a
current without derivatives gives a pole mass of around 1 GeV, the present sum
rule with a derivative current gives a mass of around 550 MeV and a width of
400 MeV, that could be identified with the meson.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
