N K Pi molecular state with I=1 and J(Pi)=3/2-

The structure of the molecule-like state of $NK\pi$ with spin-parity $J^{\pi}={3/2}^-$ and isospin I=1 is studied within the chiral SU(3) quark model. First we calculate the $NK$, $N\pi$, and $K\pi$ phase shifts in the framework of the resonating group method (RGM), and a qualitative agreement with the experimental data is obtained. Then we perform a rough estimation for the energy of $(NK\pi)_{J^{\pi}={3/2}^-,I=1}$, and the effect of the mixing to the configuration $(\Delta K)_{J^{\pi}={3/2}^-,I=1}$ is also considered. The calculated energy is very close to the threshold of the $NK\pi$ system. A detailed investigation is worth doing in the further study.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures; accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

Resonating group method study of kaon-nucleon elastic scattering in the chiral SU(3) quark model

The chiral SU(3) quark model is extended to include an antiquark in order to study the kaon-nucleon system. The model input parameters $b_u$, $m_u$, $m_s$ are taken to be the same as in our previous work which focused on the nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-hyperon interactions. The mass of the scalar meson $\sigma$ is chosen to be 675 MeV and the mixing of $\sigma_0$ and $\sigma_8$ is considered. Using this model the kaon-nucleon $S$ and $P$ partial waves phase shifts of isospin I=0 and I=1 have been studied by solving a resonating group method (RGM) equation. The numerical results of $S_{01}$, $S_{11}$, $P_{01}$, $P_{03}$, and $P_{11}$ partial waves are in good agreement with the experimental data while the phase shifts of $P_{13}$ partial wave are a little bit too repulsive when the laboratory momentum of the kaon meson is greater than 500 MeV in this present calculation.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figures.

Electronic structure and superconductivity of BiS2-based compounds LaO1-xFxBiS2

Using the density-functional perturbation theory with structural optimization, we investigate the electronic structure, phonon spectra, and superconductivity of BiS2-based layered compounds LaO1-xFxBiS2. For LaO0.5F0.5BiS2, the calculated electron-phonon coupling constant is equal to lambda = 0.8, and obtained Tc = 9.1 K is very close to its experimental value, indicating that it is a conventional electron-phonon superconductor

Baryon-meson interactions in chiral quark model

Using the resonating group method (RGM), we dynamically study the baryon-meson interactions in chiral quark model. Some interesting results are obtained: (1) The Sigma K state has an attractive interaction, which consequently results in a Sigma K quasibound state. When the channel coupling of Sigma K and Lambda K is considered, a sharp resonance appears between the thresholds of these two channels. (2) The interaction of Delta K state with isospin I=1 is attractive, which can make for a Delta K quasibound state. (3) When the coupling to the Lambda K* channel is considered, the N phi is found to be a quasibound state in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model with several MeV binding energy. (4) The calculated S-, P-, D-, and F-wave KN phase shifts achieve a considerable improvement in not only the signs but also the magnitudes in comparison with other's previous quark model study.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures.

S, P, D, F wave KN phase shifts in the chiral SU(3) quark model

The $S$, $P$, $D$, $F$ wave $KN$ phase shifts have been studied in the chiral SU(3) quark model by solving a resonating group method equation. The numerical results of different partial waves are in agreement with the experimental data except for the cases of $P_{13}$ and $D_{15}$, which are less well described when the laboratory momentum of the kaon meson is greater than 400 MeV.Comment: Prepared for 10th International Symposium on Meson-Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon (MENU 2004), Beijing, China, 29 Aug - 4 Sep 200

Magnetic Moments of JP=3/2+J^P={3/2}^+ Pentaquarks

If the $J^P$ of $\Theta_5^+$ and $\Xi_5^{--}$ pentaquarks is really found to be ${1\over 2}^+$ by future experiments, they will be accompanied by $J^P={3\over 2}^+$ partners in some models. It is reasonable to expect that these $J^P={3\over 2}^+$ states will also be discovered in the near future with the current intensive experimental and theoretical efforts. We estimate $J^P={3/2}^+$ pentaquark magnetic moments using different models.Comment: 13 page
