N K and Delta K states in the chiral SU(3) quark model
The isospin I=0 and I=1 kaon-nucleon , , , wave phase shifts are
studied in the chiral SU(3) quark model by solving the resonating group method
(RGM) equation. The calculated phase shifts for different partial waves are in
agreement with the experimental data. Furthermore, the structures of the
states with L=0, I=1 and I=2 are investigated. We find that the
interaction between and in the case of L=0, I=1 is attractive,
which is not like the situation of the system, where the -wave
interactions between and for both I=0 and I=1 are repulsive. Our
numerical results also show that when the model parameters are taken to be the
same as in our previous and scattering calculations, the
state with L=0 and I=1 is a weakly bound state with about 2 MeV binding energy,
while the one with I=2 is unbound in the present one-channel calculation.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures. PRC70,064004(2004
A new three-parameter correlation for gamma-ray bursts with a plateau phase in the afterglow
Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) have great advantages for their huge burst energies,
luminosities and high redshifts in probing the Universe. A few interesting
luminosity correlations of GRBs have been used to test cosmology models.
Especially, for a subsample of long GRBs with known redshifts and a plateau
phase in the afterglow, a correlation between the end time of the plateau phase
(in the GRB rest frame) and the corresponding X-ray luminosity has been found.
In this paper, we re-analyze the subsample and found that a significantly
tighter correlation exists when we add a third parameter, i.e. the isotropic
-ray energy release, into the consideration. Additionally, both long
and intermediate duration GRBs are consistent with the same three-parameter
correlation equation. It is argued that the new three-parameter correlation is
consistent with the hypothesis that the subsample of GRBs with a plateau phase
in the afterglow be associated with the birth of rapidly rotating magnetars,
and that the plateau be due to the continuous energy-injection from the
magnetar. It is suggested that the newly born millisecond magnetars associated
with GRBs might provide a good standard candle in the Universe.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 1 table; A&A, in pres

Experimental study of the formation and collapse of an overhang in the lateral spread of smouldering peat fires
Smouldering combustion is the driving phenomenon of wildfires in peatlands, and is responsible for large amounts of carbon emissions and haze episodes world wide. Compared to flaming fires, smouldering is slow, low-temperature, flameless, and most persistent, yet it is poorly understood. Peat, as a typical organic soil, is a porous and charring natural fuel, thus prone to smouldering. The spread of smouldering peat fire is a multidimensional phenomenon, including two main components: in-depth vertical and surface lateral spread. In this study, we investigate the lateral spread of peat fire under various moisture and wind conditions. Visual and infrared cameras as well as a thermocouple array are used to measure the temperature profile and the spread rate. For the first time the overhang, where smouldering spreads fastest beneath the free surface, is observed in the laboratory, which helps understand the interaction between oxygen supply and heat losses. The periodic formation and collapse of overhangs is observed. The overhang thickness is found to increase with moisture and wind speed, while the spread rate decreases with moisture and increases with wind speed. A simple theoretical analysis is proposed and shows that the formation of overhang is caused by the spread rate difference between the top and lower peat layers as well as the competition between oxygen supply and heat losses

Transition Temperature of a Uniform Imperfect Bose Gas
We calculate the transition temperature of a uniform dilute Bose gas with
repulsive interactions, using a known virial expansion of the equation of
state. We find that the transition temperature is higher than that of an ideal
gas, with a fractional increase K_0(na^3)^{1/6}, where n is the density and a
is the S-wave scattering length, and K_0 is a constant given in the paper. This
disagrees with all existing results, analytical or numerical. It agrees exactly
in magnitude with a result due to Toyoda, but has the opposite sign.Comment: Email correspondence to [email protected] ; 2 pages using REVTe
Kaon-nucleon interaction in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model
The chiral SU(3) quark model is extended to include the coupling between the
quark and vector chiral fields. The one-gluon exchange (OGE) which dominantly
governs the short-range quark-quark interaction in the original chiral SU(3)
quark model is now nearly replaced by the vector-meson exchange. Using this
model, the isospin I=0 and I=1 kaon-nucleon S, P, D, F wave phase shifts are
dynamically studied by solving the resonating group method (RGM) equation.
Similar to those given by the original chiral SU(3) quark model, the calculated
results for many partial waves are consistent with the experiment, while there
is no improvement in this new approach for the P_{13} and D_{15} channels, of
which the theoretical phase shifts are too much repulsive and attractive
respectively when the laboratory momentum of the kaon meson is greater than 300
MeV.Comment: 19 pages, 16 figures. Accepted by Phys. Rev.
Agegraphic Chaplygin gas model of dark energy
We establish a connection between the agegraphic models of dark energy and
Chaplygin gas energy density in non-flat universe. We reconstruct the potential
of the agegraphic scalar field as well as the dynamics of the scalar field
according to the evolution of the agegraphic dark energy. We also extend our
study to the interacting agegraphic generalized Chaplygin gas dark energy
model.Comment: 8 page
