Toward the Application of Three-Dimensional Approach to Few-body Atomic Bound States

The first step toward the application of an effective non partial wave (PW) numerical approach to few-body atomic bound states has been taken. The two-body transition amplitude which appears in the kernel of three-dimensional Faddeev-Yakubovsky integral equations is calculated as function of two-body Jacobi momentum vectors, i.e. as a function of the magnitude of initial and final momentum vectors and the angle between them. For numerical calculation the realistic interatomic interactions HFDHE2, HFD-B, LM2M2 and TTY are used. The angular and momentum dependence of the fully off-shell transition amplitude is studied at negative energies. It has been numerically shown that, similar to the nuclear case, the transition amplitude exhibits a characteristic angular behavior in the vicinity of 4He dimer pole.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, 4 tables.

Critical numbers of attractive Bose-condensed atoms in asymmetric traps

The recent Bose-Einstein condensation of ultracold atoms with attractive interactions led us to consider the novel possibility to probe the stability of its ground state in arbitrary three-dimensional harmonic traps. We performed a quantitative analysis of the critical number of atoms through a full numerical solution of the mean field Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Characteristic limits are obtained for reductions from three to two and one dimensions, in perfect cylindrical symmetries as well as in deformed ones.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures. To appear in Phys.

3D calculation of Tucson-Melbourne 3NF effect in triton binding energy

As an application of the new realistic three-dimensional (3D) formalism reported recently for three-nucleon (3N) bound states, an attempt is made to study the effect of three-nucleon forces (3NFs) in triton binding energy in a non partial wave (PW) approach. The spin-isospin dependent 3N Faddeev integral equations with the inclusion of 3NFs, which are formulated as function of vector Jacobi momenta, specifically the magnitudes of the momenta and the angle between them, are solved with Bonn-B and Tucson-Melbourne NN and 3N forces in operator forms which can be incorporated in our 3D formalism. The comparison with numerical results in both, novel 3D and standard PW schemes, shows that non PW calculations avoid the very involved angular momentum algebra occurring for the permutations and transformations and it is more efficient and less cumbersome for considering the 3NF.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, 1 table

Comment on "Efimov States and their Fano Resonances in a Neutron-Rich Nucleus"

By introducing a mass asymmetry in a non-Borromean three-body system, without changing the energy relations, the virtual state pole cannot move from the negative real axis of the complex energy plane (with nonzero width) and become a resonance, because the analytical structure of the unitarity cuts remains the same.Comment: To be published in PR

Nucleon-nucleon scattering within a multiple subtractive renormalization approach

A methodology to renormalize the nucleon-nucleon interaction, using a recursive multiple subtraction approach to construct the kernel of the scattering equation, is presented. We solve the subtracted scattering equation with the next-leading-order (NLO) and next-to-next-leading-order (NNLO) interactions. The results are presented for all partial waves up to $j=2$, fitted to low-energy experimental data. In our renormalizaton group invariant method, when introducing the NLO and NNLO interactions, the subtraction energy emerges as a renormalization scale and the momentum associated with it comes to be about the QCD scale ($\Lambda_{QCD}$), irrespectively to the partial wave.Comment: Final versio

Path Dependence of the Quark Nonlocal Condensate within the Instanton Model

Within the instanton liquid model, we study the dependence of the gauge invariant two--point quark correlator on the path used to perform the color parallel transport between two points in the Euclidean space.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

Liquid-Gas phase transition in Bose-Einstein Condensates

We study the effects of a repulsive three-body interaction on a system of trapped ultra-cold atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensed state. The corresponding $s-$wave non-linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation is solved numerically and also by a variational approach. A first-order liquid-gas phase transition is observed for the condensed state up to a critical strength of the effective three-body force.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
