Narrow Pentaquark States in a Quark Model with Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics
The exotic baryon is studied with microscopic
calculations in a quark model by using a method of antisymmetrized molecular
dynamics(AMD). We predict narrow states, ,
, and , which nearly degenerate in a
low-energy region of the system. We discuss decay widths and
estimate them to be for the , and
MeV for the state.Comment: Talk given at International Workshop on PENTAQUARK04, Spring-8,

Observation of Anomalous Internal Pair Creation in Be: A Possible Signature of a Light, Neutral Boson
Electron-positron angular correlations were measured for the isovector
magnetic dipole 17.6 MeV state (, ) ground state
(, ) and the isoscalar magnetic dipole 18.15 MeV (,
) state ground state transitions in Be. Significant
deviation from the internal pair creation was observed at large angles in the
angular correlation for the isoscalar transition with a confidence level of . This observation might indicate that, in an intermediate step, a
neutral isoscalar particle with a mass of 16.70 (stat)
(sys) MeV and was created.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Further study on 5q configuration states in the chiral SU(3) quark model
The structure of the configuration states with strangeness
is further studied in the chiral SU(3) quark model based on our
previous work. We calculate the energies of fifteen low configurations of the
system, four lowest configurations of with
partition , four of with
partition and seven of
with partition . Some modifications are
made in this further study, i.e., the orbital wave function is extended as an
expansion of 4 different size harmonic oscillator forms; three various forms
(quadratic, linear and error function form) of the color confinement potential
are considered; the states with partition are added, which are unnegligible in the case and were
not considered in our previous paper, further the mixing between configurations
and is
also investigated. The results show that the T=0 state is still always the
lowest one for both and states, and
state is always lower than that of .
All of these modifications can only offer several tens to hundred MeV effect,
and the theoretical value of the lowest state is still about 245 MeV higher
than the experimental mass of . It seems to be difficult to get the
calculated mass close to the observed one with the reasonable parameters in the
framework of the chiral SU(3) quark model when the model space is chosen as a
cluster.Comment: 16 page
Allowed Gamow-Teller Excitations from the Ground State of 14N
Motivated by the proposed experiment , we study the
final states which can be reached via the allowed Gamow-Teller mechanism. Much
emphasis has been given in the past to the fact that the transition matrix
element from the ground state of to the ground state of is very close to zero, despite the fact that all
the quantum numbers are right for an allowed transition. We discuss this
problem, but, in particular, focus on the excitations to final states with
angular momenta and . We note that the summed strength to the
states, calculated with a wide variety of interactions, is
significantly larger than that to the final states.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Rev.
Relativistic bound states in Yukawa model
The bound state solutions of two fermions interacting by a scalar exchange
are obtained in the framework of the explicitly covariant light-front dynamics.
The stability with respect to cutoff of the J= and J=
states is studied. The solutions for J= are found to be stable for
coupling constants below the critical value
and unstable above it. The asymptotic behavior of the
wave functions is found to follow a law. The coefficient
and the critical coupling constant are calculated from an
eigenvalue equation. The binding energies for the J= solutions
diverge logarithmically with the cutoff for any value of the coupling constant.
For a wide range of cutoff, the states with different angular momentum
projections are weakly split.Comment: 22 pages, 13 figures, .tar.gz fil
Parity Mixed Doublets in A = 36 Nuclei
The -circular polarizations () and asymmetries
() of the parity forbidden M1 + E2 -decays: MeV) and MeV)
MeV) are investigated theoretically. We use the recently proposed
Warburton-Becker-Brown shell-model interaction. For the weak forces we discuss
comparatively different weak interaction models based on different assumptions
for evaluating the weak meson-hadron coupling constants. The results determine
a range of values from which we find the most probable values:

Relativistic Chiral Mean Field Model for Finite Nuclei
We present a relativistic chiral mean field (RCMF) model, which is a method
for the proper treatment of pion-exchange interaction in the nuclear many-body
problem. There the dominant term of the pionic correlation is expressed in
two-particle two-hole (2p-2h) states with particle-holes having pionic quantum
number, J^{pi}. The charge-and-parity-projected relativistic mean field
(CPPRMF) model developed so far treats surface properties of pionic correlation
in 2p-2h states with J^{pi} = 0^{-} (spherical ansatz). We extend the CPPRMF
model by taking 2p-2h states with higher spin quantum numbers, J^{pi} = 1^{+},
2^{-}, 3^{+}, ... to describe the full strength of the pionic correlation in
the intermediate range (r > 0.5 fm). We apply the RCMF model to the ^{4}He
nucleus as a pilot calculation for the study of medium and heavy nuclei. We
study the behavior of energy convergence with the pionic quantum number,
J^{pi}, and find convergence around J^{pi}_{max} = 6^{-}. We include further
the effect of the short-range repulsion in terms of the unitary correlation
operator method (UCOM) for the central part of the pion-exchange interaction.
The energy contribution of about 50% of the net two-body interaction comes from
the tensor part and 20% comes from the spin-spin central part of the
pion-exchange interaction.Comment: 22 pages, 12 figure
