Neutrino Induced 4He Break-up Reaction -- Application of the Maximum Entropy Method in Calculating Nuclear Strength Function
The maximum entropy method is examined as a new tool for solving the
ill-posed inversion problem involved in the Lorentz integral transformation
(LIT) method. As an example, we apply the method to the spin-dipole strength
function of 4He. We show that the method can be successfully used for inversion
of LIT, provided the LIT function is available with a sufficient accuracy.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. Poster presented by TM at the International

Theoretical study of the electronic states of hollandite vanadate K 2V8O16
Electronic states of hollandite vanadate K2V8O 16, a one-dimensional zigzag-chain system of t2g orbitals in a mixed valent state, are considered. We calculate the Madelung energies to determine the most stable charge-ordering pattern that is consistent with the observed superlattice structure. We then develop the strong-coupling perturbation theory to derive the effective spin-orbit Hamiltonian, starting from the triply-degenerate t2g orbitals in the VO6 octahedral structure. An exact-diagonalization technique is used on small clusters of this Hamiltonian to determine the orbital-ordering pattern and spin structures in the ground state. We thereby discuss the electronic and magnetic properties of K2 V8O16. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan/18028008Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan/18043006Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan/185400338Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan/19014004JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientist
A Comparative Study of the Parker Instability under Three Models of the Galactic Gravity
To examine how non-uniform nature of the Galactic gravity might affect length
and time scales of the Parker instability, we took three models of gravity,
uniform, linear and realistic ones. To make comparisons of the three gravity
models on a common basis, we first fixed the ratio of magnetic pressure to gas
pressure at = 0.25, that of cosmic-ray pressure at = 0.4, and
the rms velocity of interstellar clouds at = 6.4 km s, and then
adjusted parameters of the gravity models in such a way that the resulting
density scale heights for the three models may all have the same value of 160
pc. Performing linear stability analyses onto equilibrium states under the
three models with the typical ISM conditions, we calculate the maximum growth
rate and corresponding length scale for each of the gravity models. Under the
uniform gravity the Parker instability has the growth time of 1.2
years and the length scale of 1.6 kpc for symmetric mode. Under the realistic
gravity it grows in 1.8 years for both symmetric and
antisymmetric modes, and develops density condensations at intervals of 400 pc
for the symmetric mode and 200 pc for the antisymmetric one. A simple change of
the gravity model has thus reduced the growth time by almost an order of
magnitude and its length scale by factors of four to eight. These results
suggest that an onset of the Parker instability in the ISM may not necessarily
be confined to the regions of high and .Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ, using aaspp4.sty, 18 text pages with

Global density-dependent -nucleon interaction for -nucleus elastic scattering
We provide a global density-dependent He-nucleon (DD-)
interaction to construct the -nucleus optical model potential (OMP) in
a wide range of incident energies. The global parametrization for the
DD- interaction is obtained based on the proton-He OMP which
reproduces the elastic scattering cross-section data very well in the incident
energies of 12.04--500 MeV per nucleon. We derive the -nucleus
potential by a folding procedure with the point-nucleon density obtained by a
microscopic mean-field model using the present DD- interaction. The
density dependence of the DD- interaction is fixed phenomenologically
to reproduce the -nucleus elastic scattering cross-section data by the
O, Ca, Ni, Zr, and Pb targets at
10--342.5 MeV. We also show the total reaction cross sections, which are
helpful in fixing one free parameter, the renormalization factor for the
imaginary part of the -nucleus potential. Lastly, we show some
examples, which clearly demonstrate the validity and power of the present
DD- approach.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figure
Enlarged deformation region in neutron-rich Zr isotopes by the second intruder orbit
Nuclear deformations and density profiles of neutron-rich even-even Zr
isotopes are investigated using the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method.
Large quadrupole and hexadecapole deformations are predicted along with large
enhancement of the total reaction cross sections at the neutron number
-74. Strong nuclear deformation starting at is induced by the
occupation of the intruder orbit with the asymptotic quantum number
= [550]1/2 originating from the spherical
orbit. The deformation region is further enlarged from to 74 owing to
the occupation of the next intruder orbit with [530]1/2 originating from the
spherical orbit. This characteristic nuclear deformation is
crucially reflected in the systematic behavior of the nuclear radii and the
density profiles near the nuclear surface.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. C (Letter
