QCD Phase Transition at Finite Temperature in the Dual Ginzburg-Landau Theory
We study the pure-gauge QCD phase transition at finite temperatures in the
dual Ginzburg-Landau theory, an effective theory of QCD based on the dual Higgs
mechanism. We formulate the effective potential at various temperatures by
introducing the quadratic source term, which is a new useful method to obtain
the effective potential in the negative-curvature region. Thermal effects
reduce the QCD-monopole condensate and bring a first-order deconfinement phase
transition. We find a large reduction of the self-interaction among
QCD-monopoles and the glueball masses near the critical temperature by
considering the temperature dependence of the self-interaction. We also
calculate the string tension at finite temperatures.Comment: 13 pages, uses PHYZZX ( 5 figures - available on request from

Method of preventing oxidation of graphite fireproof material
A method of preventing oxidation of graphite fireproof material is given. A blend of 1 to 33 weight parts alumina and 3 to 19 parts of K2O + Na2O in 100 parts of SiO2 is pulverized followed by addition of 5 to 160 parts of silicon carbide powder in 100 parts of the mixture. This is thoroughly blended and coated on the surface of graphite fireproof material
Massive Complex Scalar Field in a Kerr-Sen Black Hole Background: Exact Solution of Wave Equation and Hawking Radiation
The separated radial part of a massive complex scalar wave equation in the
Kerr-Sen geometry is shown to satisfy the generalized spheroidal wave equation
which is, in fact, a confluent Heun equation up to a multiplier. The Hawking
evaporation of scalar particles in the Kerr-Sen black hole background is
investigated by the Damour-Ruffini-Sannan's method. It is shown that quantum
thermal effect of the Kerr-Sen black hole has the same characteras that of the
Kerr-Newman black hole.Comment: Revtex, 5 pages, no figure, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Absorption cross section in de Sitter space
We study the wave equation for a minimally coupled massive scalar in
three-dimensional de Sitter space. We compute the absorption cross section to
investigate its cosmological horizon in the southern diamond. Although the
absorption cross section is not defined exactly, we can be determined it from
the fact that the low-energy -wave absorption cross section for a
massless scalar is given by the area of the cosmological horizon. On the other
hand, the low-temperature limit of -mode absorption cross section is
useful for extracting information surrounding the cosmological horizon. Finally
we mention a computation of the absorption cross section on the CFT-side using
the dS/CFT correspondence.Comment: 13 pages, version to appear in MPL
Ab initio approach to s-shell hypernuclei 3H_Lambda, 4H_Lambda, 4He_Lambda and 5He_Lambda with a Lambda N-Sigma N interaction
Variational calculations for s-shell hypernuclei are performed by explicitly
including degrees of freedom. Four sets of YN interactions (SC97d(S),
SC97e(S), SC97f(S) and SC89(S)) are used. The bound-state solution of
He is obtained and a large energy expectation value of the tensor
transition part is found. The internal energy of the
He subsystem is strongly affected by the presence of a particle
with the strong tensor transition potential.Comment: Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 142504 (2002
Dynamics and neutrino signal of black hole formation in non-rotating failed supernovae. II. progenitor dependence
We study the progenitor dependence of the black hole formation and its
associated neutrino signals from the gravitational collapse of non-rotating
massive stars, following the preceding study on the single progenitor model in
Sumiyoshi et al. (2007). We aim to clarify whether the dynamical evolution
toward the black hole formation occurs in the same manner for different
progenitors and to examine whether the characteristic of neutrino bursts is
general having the short duration and the rapidly increasing average energies.
We perform the numerical simulations by general relativistic neutrino-radiation
hydrodynamics to follow the dynamical evolution from the collapse of
pre-supernova models of 40Msun and 50Msun toward the black hole formation via
contracting proto-neutron stars. For the three progenitor models studied in
this paper, we found that the black hole formation occurs in ~0.4-1.5 s after
core bounce through the increase of proto-neutron star mass together with the
short and energetic neutrino burst. We found that density profile of progenitor
is important to determine the accretion rate onto the proto-neutron star and,
therefore, the duration of neutrino burst. We compare the neutrino bursts of
black hole forming events from different progenitors and discuss whether we can
probe clearly the progenitor and/or the dense matter.Comment: 30 pages, 11 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
