Quasi-two-body decays in the perturbative QCD approach
We study the quasi-two-body decays by employing
the perturbative QCD approach. The two-meson distribution amplitudes
\Phi_{K\pi}^{\text{P-wave}} are adopted to describe the final state
interactions of the kaon-pion pair in the resonance region. The resonance line
shape for the -wave component in the time-like form factor
is parameterized by the relativistic Breit-Wigner function. For
most considered decay modes, the theoretical predictions for their branching
ratios are consistent with currently available experimental measurements within
errors. We also disscuss some ratios of the branching fractions of the
concerned decay processes. More precise data from LHCb and Belle-II are
expected to test our predictions.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures and 2 tables.To be published in EPJ
Effects of Neutron-Proton Short-Range Correlation on the Equation of State of Dense Neutron-Rich Nucleonic Matter
The strongly isospin-dependent tensor force leads to short-range correlations
(SRC) between neutron-proton (deuteron-like) pairs much stronger than those
between proton-proton and neutron-neutron pairs. As a result of the short-range
correlations, the single-nucleon momentum distribution develops a high-momentum
tail above the Fermi surface. Because of the strongly isospin-dependent
short-range correlations, in neutron-rich matter a higher fraction of protons
will be depleted from its Fermi sea and populate above the Fermi surface
compared to neutrons. This isospin-dependent nucleon momentum distribution may
have effects on: (1) nucleon spectroscopic factors of rare isotopes, (2) the
equation of state especially the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy,
(3) the coexistence of a proton-skin in momentum space and a neutron-skin in
coordinate space (i.e., protons move much faster than neutrons near the surface
of heavy nuclei). In this talk, we discuss these features and their possible
experimental manifestations. As an example, SRC effects on the nuclear symmetry
energy are discussed in detail using a modified Gogny-Hartree-Fock (GHF) energy
density functional (EDF) encapsulating the SRC-induced high momentum tail (HMT)
in the single-nucleon momentum distribution
Electron-nuclear entanglement in the cold lithium gas
We study the ground-state entanglement and thermal entanglement in the
hyperfine interaction of the lithium atom. We give the relationship between the
entanglement and both temperature and external magnetic fields.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
