Revised Born-Oppenheimer approach and a multielectron reprojection method for inelastic collisions
The quantum reprojection method within the standard adiabatic
Born-Oppenheimer approach is derived for multielectron collision systems. The
method takes nonvanishing asymptotic nonadiabatic couplings into account and
distinguishes asymptotic currents in molecular state and in atomic state
channels, leading to physically consistent and reliable results. The method is
demonstrated for the example of low-energy inelastic Li+Na collisions, for
which the conventional application of the standard adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer
approach fails and leads to paradoxes such as infinite inelastic cross
sections
Angular asymmetries as a probe for anomalous contributions to HZZ vertex at the LHC
In this article, the prospects for studying the tensor structure of the HZZ
vertex with the LHC experiments are presented. The structure of tensor
couplings in Higgs di-boson decays is investigated by measuring the asymmetries
and by studing the shapes of the final state angular distributions. The
expected background contributions, detector resolution, and trigger and
selection efficiencies are taken into account. The potential of the LHC
experiments to discover sizeable non-Standard Model contributions to the HZZ
vertex with and is demonstrated.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures; added 3 references for section 1; added 3

Perturbation of a lattice spectral band by a nearby resonance
A soluble model of weakly coupled "molecular" and "nuclear" Hamiltonians is
studied in order to exhibit explicitly the mechanism leading to the enhancement
of fusion probability in case of a narrow near-threshold nuclear resonance. We,
further, consider molecular cells of this type being arranged in lattice
structures. It is shown that if the real part of the narrow nuclear resonance
lies within the molecular band generated by the intercellular interaction, an
enhancement, proportional to the inverse width of the nuclear resonance, is to
be expected.Comment: RevTeX, 2 figures within the file. In May 2000 the title changed and

Electroweak supersymmetric effects on high energy unpolarized and polarized single top production at LHC
We consider various processes of single top production at LHC in the
theoretical framework of the MSSM and examine the role of the supersymmetric
electroweak one-loop corrections in a special moderately light SUSY scenario,
in an initial parton-pair c.m. high energy range where a logarithmic asymptotic
expansion of Sudakov type can be used. We show that the electroweak virtual
effects are systematically large, definitely beyond the relative ten percent
size, particularly for a final pair where a special enhancement is
present. We show then in a qualitative way the kind of precision tests of the
model that would be obtainable from accurate measurements of the energy
distributions of the various cross sections and of the top polarization
asymmetries.Comment: 30 pages, 9 figure
Potential energy and dipole moment surfaces of H3- molecule
A new potential energy surface for the electronic ground state of the
simplest triatomic anion H3- is determined for a large number of geometries.
Its accuracy is improved at short and large distances compared to previous
studies. The permanent dipole moment surface of the state is also computed for
the first time. Nine vibrational levels of H3- and fourteen levels of D3- are
obtained, bound by at most ~70 cm^{-1} and ~ 126 cm^{-1} respectively. These
results should guide the spectroscopic search of the H3- ion in cold gases
(below 100K) of molecular hydrogen in the presence of H3- ions
Quenching of pairing gap at finite temperature in 184W
We extract pairing gap in W at finite temperature for the first time
from the experimental level densities of W, W, and W
using "thermal" odd-even mass difference. We found the quenching of pairing gap
near the critical temperature MeV in the BCS calculations. It is
shown that the monopole pairing model with a deformed Woods-Saxon potential
explains the reduction of the pairing correlation using the partition function
with the number parity projection in the static path approximation plus
random-phase approximation.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in PR
Thermodynamics of pairing in mesoscopic systems
Using numerical and analytical methods implemented for different models we
conduct a systematic study of thermodynamic properties of pairing correlation
in mesoscopic nuclear systems. Various quantities are calculated and analyzed
using the exact solution of pairing. An in-depth comparison of canonical, grand
canonical, and microcanonical ensemble is conducted. The nature of the pairing
phase transition in a small system is of a particular interest. We discuss the
onset of discontinuity in the thermodynamic variables, fluctuations, and
evolution of zeros of the canonical and grand canonical partition functions in
the complex plane. The behavior of the Invariant Correlational Entropy is also
studied in the transitional region of interest. The change in the character of
the phase transition due to the presence of magnetic field is discussed along
with studies of superconducting thermodynamics.Comment: 19 pages, 24 figure
Four-quark spectroscopy within the hyperspherical formalism
We present a generalization of the hyperspherical harmonic formalism to study
systems made of quarks and antiquarks of the same flavor. This generalization
is based on the symmetrization of the body wave function with respect to
the symmetric group using the Barnea and Novoselsky algorithm. The formalism is
applied to study four-quark systems by means of a constituent quark model
successful in the description of the two- and three-quark systems. The results
are compared to those obtained by means of variational approaches. Our analysis
shows that four-quark systems with exotic and non-exotic
quantum numbers may be bound independently of the mass of the quark.
and states become attractive only for larger mass of the quarks.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure
The supermultiplet of boundary conditions in supergravity
Boundary conditions in supergravity on a manifold with boundary relate the
bulk gravitino to the boundary supercurrent, and the normal derivative of the
bulk metric to the boundary energy-momentum tensor. In the 3D N=1 setting, we
show that these boundary conditions can be stated in a manifestly
supersymmetric form. We identify the Extrinsic Curvature Tensor Multiplet, and
show that boundary conditions set it equal to (a conjugate of) the boundary
supercurrent multiplet. Extension of our results to higher-dimensional models
(including the Randall-Sundrum and Horava-Witten scenarios) is discussed.Comment: 22 pages. JHEP format; references added; published versio
Signals from R-parity violating top quark decays at LHC
We evaluate the potential of the CERN LHC collider to observe rare decays of
the top quark in channels involving R-parity violating (RPV) interactions. We
stress the importance of calculating top quark production and decay
simultaneously as a true 2->4 process.
The process of tt-bar pair production followed by RPV decay of one of the top
quarks is analyzed with fast detector simulation. We show that intermediate
supersymmetric particles can be observed as resonances even if they are heavier
than the top quark due to the significant off-shell top-quark mass effects. The
approach where the top quark is produced on-mass-shell and then decays into 2-
or 3-body final state would in general lead to incorrect kinematical
distributions and rates. The rates of the 2 -> 4 process with top quark
production and RPV 3-body decay depend on the total width of the heavy
intermediate sfermion which could,therefore, be measured indirectly.
We find that the LHC collider offers a unique potential to study rare top
quark decays in the framework of supersymmetry with broken R-parity for
branching fractions of RPV top decays as low as 10^{-6}Comment: 23 pages, 22 figure
