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
Sigma_c Dbar and Lambda_c Dbar states in a chiral quark model
The S-wave Sigma_c Dbar and Lambda_c Dbar states with isospin I=1/2 and spin
S=1/2 are dynamically investigated within the framework of a chiral constituent
quark model by solving a resonating group method (RGM) equation. The results
show that the interaction between Sigma_c and Dbar is attractive, which
consequently results in a Sigma_c Dbar bound state with the binding energy of
about 5-42 MeV, unlike the case of Lambda_c Dbar state, which has a repulsive
interaction and thus is unbound. The channel coupling effect of Sigma_c Dbar
and Lambda_c Dbar is found to be negligible due to the fact that the gap
between the Sigma_c Dbar and Lambda_c Dbar thresholds is relatively large and
the Sigma_c Dbar and Lambda_c Dbar transition interaction is weak.Comment: 7 pages,2 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Fireball/Blastwave Model and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters
Soft gamma-ray repeaters are at determined distances and their positions are
known accurately. If observed, afterglows from their soft gamma-ray bursts will
provide important clues to the study of the so called "classical gamma-ray
bursts". On applying the popular fireball/blastwave model of classical
gamma-ray bursts to soft gamma-ray repeaters, it is found that their X-ray and
optical afterglows are detectable. Monitoring of the three repeaters is
solicited.Comment: Already published in 1998 in "Chinese Physics Letters", replaced with

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
GRB afterglows: deep Newtonian phase and its application
Gamma-ray burst afterglows have been observed for months or even years in a
few cases. It deserves noting that at such late stages, the remnants should
have entered the deep Newtonian phase, during which the majority of
shock-accelerated electrons will no longer be highly relativistic. To calculate
the afterglows, we must assume that the electrons obey a power-law distribution
according to their kinetic energy, not simply the Lorentz factor.Comment: Poster at the 4th workshop "Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Afterglow Era"

Dressing the electromagnetic nucleon current
A field-theory-based approach to pion photoproduction off the nucleon is used
to derive a microscopically consistent formulation of the fully dressed
electromagnetic nucleon current in an effective Lagrangian formalism. It is
shown how the rigorous implementation of local gauge invariance at all levels
of the reaction dynamics provides equations that lend themselves to practically
manageable truncations of the underlying nonlinearities of the problem. The
requirement of consistency also suggests a novel way of treating the pion
photoproduction problem. Guided by a phenomenological implementation of gauge
invariance for the truncated equations that has proved successful for pion
photoproduction, an expression for the fully dressed nucleon current is given
that satisfies the Ward-Takahashi identity for a fully dressed nucleon
propagator as a matter of course. Possible applications include meson photo-
and electroproduction processes, bremsstrahlung, Compton scattering, and
processes off nucleons.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figure
