Decay Properties of Bh and Db Produced in the Cm + Na Reaction
Decay properties of an isotope Bh and its daughter nucleus Db
produced by the Cm(Na, 5\textit{n}) reaction were studied by
using a gas-filled recoil separator coupled with a position-sensitive
semiconductor detector. Bh was clearly identified from the correlation
of the known nuclide, Db. The obtained decay properties of Bh
and Db are consistent with those observed in the 113 chain,
which provided further confirmation of the discovery of 113.Comment: Accepted for publication in J. Phys. Soc. JPN., to be published in

Bethe Ansatz Equations for General Orbifolds of N=4 SYM
We consider the Bethe Ansatz Equations for orbifolds of N =4 SYM w.r.t. an
arbitrary discrete group. Techniques used for the Abelian orbifolds can be
extended to the generic non-Abelian case with minor modifications. We show how
to make a transition between the different notations in the quiver gauge
theory.Comment: LaTeX, 66 pages, 9 eps figures, minor corrections, references adde
Superdeformation in Asymmetric NZ Nucleus Ar
A rotational band with five -ray transitions ranging from 2 to
12 states was identified in Ar. This band is linked through
transitions from the excited 2, 4 and 6 levels to
the low-lying states; this determines the excitation energy and the spin-parity
of the band. The deduced transition quadrupole moment of 1.45 indicates that the band has a superdeformed shape. The nature of the band
is revealed by cranked Hartree--Fock--Bogoliubov calculations and a
multiparticle--multihole configuration is assigned to the band
Superdeformed bands in neutron-rich Sulfur isotopes suggested by cranked Skyrme-Hartree-Fock calculations
On the basis of the cranked Skyrme-Hartree-Fock calculations in the
three-dimensional coordinate-mesh representation, we suggest that, in addition
to the well-known candidate 32S, the neutron-rich nucleus 36S and the drip-line
nuclei,48S and 50S, are also good candidates for finding superdeformed
rotational bands in Sulfur isotopes. Calculated density distributions for the
superdeformed states in 48S and 50S exhibit superdeformed neutron skinsComment: 18 pages including 10 ps figure
The Bethe Ansatz for Z_S Orbifolds of N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory
Worldsheet techniques can be used to argue for the integrability of string
theory on AdS_5xS^5/Z_S, which is dual to the strongly coupled Z_S-orbifold of
N=4 SYM. We analyze the integrability of these field theories in the
perturbative regime and construct the relevant Bethe equations.Comment: 16 page
Perturbative Search for Fixed Lines in Large N Gauge Theories
The logarithmic running of marginal double-trace operators is a general
feature of 4-d field theories containing scalar fields in the adjoint or
bifundamental representation. Such operators provide leading contributions in
the large N limit; therefore, the leading terms in their beta functions must
vanish for a theory to be large N conformal. We calculate the one-loop beta
functions in orbifolds of the N=4 SYM theory by a discrete subgroup Gamma of
the SU(4) R-symmetry, which are dual to string theory on AdS_5 x S^5/Gamma. We
present a general strategy for determining whether there is a fixed line
passing through the origin of the coupling constant space. Then we study in
detail some classes of non-supersymmetric orbifold theories, and emphasize the
importance of decoupling the U(1) factors. Among our examples, which include
orbifolds acting freely on the S^5, we do not find any large N
non-supersymmetric theories with fixed lines passing through the origin.
Connection of these results with closed string tachyon condensation in AdS_5 x
S^5/Gamma is discussed.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figures, latex v2: Clarifications and reference adde
Open Spin Chains in Super Yang-Mills at Higher Loops: Some Potential Problems with Integrability
The super Yang-Mills duals of open strings attached to maximal giant
gravitons are studied in perturbation theory. It is shown that non-BPS baryonic
excitations of the gauge theory can be studied within the paradigm of open
quantum spin chains even beyond the leading order in perturbation theory. The
open spin chain describing the two loop mixing of non-BPS giant gravitons
charged under an su(2) of the so(6) R symmetry group is explicitly constructed.
It is also shown that although the corresponding open spin chain is integrable
at the one loop order, there is a potential breakdown of integrability at two
and higher loops. The study of integrability is performed using coordinate
Bethe ansatz techniques.Comment: 28 pages. References added in revised versio
The general Leigh-Strassler deformation and integrability
The success of the identification of the planar dilatation operator of N=4
SYM with an integrable spin chain Hamiltonian has raised the question if this
also is valid for a deformed theory. Several deformations of SYM have recently
been under investigation in this context. In this work we consider the general
Leigh-Strassler deformation. For the generic case the S-matrix techniques
cannot be used to prove integrability. Instead we use R-matrix techniques to
study integrability. Some new integrable points in the parameter space are
found.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures, reference adde
Adaptive real-time dual-comb spectroscopy
With the advent of laser frequency combs, coherent light sources that offer
equally-spaced sharp lines over a broad spectral bandwidth have become
available. One decade after revolutionizing optical frequency metrology,
frequency combs hold much promise for significant advances in a growing number
of applications including molecular spectroscopy. Despite its intriguing
potential for the measurement of molecular spectra spanning tens of nanometers
within tens of microseconds at Doppler-limited resolution, the development of
dual-comb spectroscopy is hindered by the extremely demanding high-bandwidth
servo-control conditions of the laser combs. Here we overcome this difficulty.
We experimentally demonstrate a straightforward concept of real-time dual-comb
spectroscopy, which only uses free-running mode-locked lasers without any
phase-lock electronics, a posteriori data-processing, or the need for expertise
in frequency metrology. The resulting simplicity and versatility of our new
technique of adaptive dual-comb spectroscopy offer a powerful transdisciplinary
instrument that may spark off new discoveries in molecular sciences.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
