A chiral model for bar{q}q and bar{q}bar{q}qq$ mesons
We point out that the spectrum of pseudoscalar and scalar mesons exhibits a
cuasi-degenerate chiral nonet in the energy region around 1.4 GeV whose scalar
component has a slightly inverted spectrum. Based on the empirical linear
rising of the mass of a hadron with the number of constituent quarks which
yields a mass around GeV for tetraquarks, we conjecture that this
cuasi-chiral nonet arises from the mixing of a chiral nonet composed of
tetraquarks with conventional bar{q}q states. We explore this possibility in
the framework of a chiral model assuming a tetraquark chiral nonet around 1.4
GeV with chiral symmetry realized directly. We stress that U_{A}(1)
transformations can distinguish bar{q}q from tetraquark states, although it
cannot distinguish specific dynamics in the later case. We find that the
measured spectrum is consistent with this picture. In general, pseudoscalar
states arise as mainly bar{q}q states but scalar states turn out to be strong
admixtures of bar{q}q and tetraquark states. We work out also the model
predictions for the most relevant couplings and calculate explicitly the strong
decays of the a_{0}(1450) and K_{0}^*(1430) mesons. From the comparison of some
of the predicted couplings with the experimental ones we conclude that
observable for the isovector and isospinor sectors are consistently described
within the model. The proper description of couplings in the isoscalar sectors
would require the introduction of glueball fields which is an important missing
piece in the present model.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure
Mixing among light scalar mesons and L=1 q\bar{q} scalar mesons
Following the re-establishment of the \sigma(600) and the \kappa(900), the
light scalar mesons a_0(980) and f_0(980) together with the \sigma(600) and the
\kappa(900) are considered as the chiral scalar partner of pseudoscalar nonet
in SU(3) chiral symmetry, and the high mass scalar mesons a_0(1450),
K^*_0(1430), f_0(1370) and f_0(1710) turned out to be considered as the L=1
q\bar{q} scalar mesons. We assume that the high mass of the L=1 q\bar{q} scalar
mesons is caused by the mixing with the light scalar mesons. For the structure
of the light scalar mesons, we adopted the qq\bar{q}\bar{q} model in order to
explain the "scalar meson puzzle". The inter-mixing between the light scalar
nonet and the high mass L=1 q\bar{q} nonet and the intra-mixing among each
nonet are analyzed by including the glueball into the high mass scalar nonet.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Effects to Scalar Meson Decays of Strong Mixing between Low and High Mass Scalar Mesons
We analyze the mass spectroscopy of low and high mass scalar mesons and get
the result that the coupling strengths of the mixing between low and high mass
scalar mesons are very strong and the strengths of mixing for scalar
mesons and those of I=0 scalar mesons are almost same. Next, we analyze the
decay widths and decay ratios of these mesons and get the results that the
coupling constants for which represents the coupling of high
mass scalar meson -> two pseudoscalar mesons are almost same as the
coupling for the I=0. On the other hand, the coupling constant for
which represents the low mass scalar meson -> are far
from the coupling constant for I=0. We consider a resolution for this
discrepancy. Coupling constant for glueball -> is smaller than
the coupling . is .Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
Tunneling conductance in normal metal - triplet superconductor junction
We calculate the tunneling conductance spectra of a normal metal / insulator
/ triplet superconductor from the reflection amplitudes using the
Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formula. For the triplet superconductor we
assume one special p-wave order parameter having line nodes and two two
dimensional -wave order parameters with line nodes breaking the
time-reversal symmetry. Also we examine nodeless pairing potentials. The
tunneling peaks are due to the formation of bound states for each surface
orientation at discrete quasiparticles trajectory angles. The tunneling spectra
can be used to distinguish the possible candidate pairing states of the
superconductor SrRuO.Comment: 4 pages with 3 figures, presented at the second Euroconference on

XMM-Newton Observation of IC 310 in the Outer Region of the Perseus Cluster of Galaxies
We present results from an XMM-Newton observation of the head-tail radio
galaxy IC 310 located in the southwest region of the Perseus cluster. The
spectrum is well-fitted by an absorbed power-law model with a photon index of
with no significant absorption excess. The X-ray image shows a
point-like emission at IC 310 without any signs of a structure correlated with
the radio halo tail. The temperature of the intracluster medium surrounding IC
310 declines as a function of distance from the cluster center, from keV in the northeast corner of the field of view to about 3 keV in the
southwest region. Although we do not find any sharp edges in the surface
brightness profile, a brightness excess over a smooth model by about
20% is seen. The temperature also rises by about 10% in the same region. This
indicates that the IC 310 region is a subcluster probably infalling into the
Perseus cluster, and the gas in front of IC 310 towards the Perseus cluster is
likely to be compressed by the large-scale motion, which supports the view that
the IC 310 system is undergoing a merger.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figures (including color), accepted for publication in

Gauged linear sigma model and pion-pion scattering
A simple gauged linear sigma model with several parameters to take the
symmetry breaking and the mass differences between the vector meson and the
axial vector meson into account is considered here as a possibly useful
template for the role of a light scalar in QCD as well as for (at a different
scale) an effective Higgs sector for some recently proposed walking technicolor
models. An analytic procedure is first developed for relating the Lagrangian
parameters to four well established (in the QCD application) experimental
inputs. One simple equation distinguishes three different cases:1. QCD with
axial vector particle heavier than vector particle, 2. possible technicolor
model with vector particle heavier than the axial vector one, 3. the unphysical
QCD case where both the KSRF and Weinberg relations hold. The model is applied
to the s-wave pion-pion scattering in QCD. Both the near threshold region and
(with an assumed unitarization) theglobal region up to about 800 MeV are
considered. It is noted that there is a little tension between the choice of
bare sigma mass parameter for describing these two regions. If a reasonable
globa fit is made, there is some loss of precision in the near threshold
region.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figure
Universality and Critical Behavior at the Critical-End-Point on Itinerant-Metamagnet UCoAl
We performed nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) measurements on
itinerant-electron metamagnet UCoAl in order to investigate the critical
behavior of the magnetism near a metamagnetic (MM) critical endpoint (CEP). We
derived c-axis magnetization and its fluctuation from the
measurements of Knight shift and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate
as a function of the c-axis external field () and temperature (). We
developed contour plots of and on the - phase diagram,
and observed the strong divergence of at the CEP. The critical exponents
of and near the CEP are estimated, and found to be close to the
universal properties of a three-dimensional (3-D) Ising model. We indicate that
the critical phenomena at the itinerant-electron MM CEP in UCoAl have a common
feature as a gas-liquid transition.Comment: 8 Pages, 14 figure
Spin Susceptibility in the Superconducting state of Ferromagnetic Superconductor UCoGe
In order to determine the superconducting paring state in the ferromagnetic
superconductor UCoGe, ^{59}Co NMR Knight shift, which is directly related to
the microscopic spin susceptibility, was measured in the superconducting state
under magnetic fields perpendicular to spontaneous magnetization axis:
^{59}K^{a, b}. ^{59}K^{a, b} shows to be constant, but does not decrease below
a superconducting transition. These behaviors as well as the invariance of the
internal field at the Co site in the superconducting state exclude the
spin-singlet pairing, and can be interpreted with the equal-spin pairing state
with a large exchange field along the c axis, which was studied by Mineev
[Phys. Rev. B 81, 180504 (2010)].Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to be appear in PR
Metal-nonmetal transition in LixCoO2 thin film and thermopower enhancement at high Li concentration
We investigate the transport properties of LixCoO2 thin films whose
resistivities are nearly an order of magnitude lower than those of the bulk
polycrystals. A metal-nonmetal transition occurs at ~0.8 in a biphasic domain,
and the Seebeck coefficient (S) is drastically increased at ~140 K (= T*) with
increasing the Li concentration to show a peak of magnitude ~120 \muV/K in the
S-T curve of x = 0.87. We show that T* corresponds to a crossover temperature
in the conduction, most likely reflecting the correlation-induced temperature
dependence in the low-energy excitations
