Theoretical Response to the Discovery of Deeply Bound Pionic States in 208Pb(d,3He) reactions

Recently, deeply bound pionic states were found experimentally in (d, $^3$He) reactions on $^{208}$Pb. They found an isolated peak structure in the bound region below the pion production threshold. We study theoretically these excitation functions in (d, $^3$He) reactions on $^{208}$Pb at T$_d$=600 MeV. We found very good agreement with the (d, $^3$He) excitation functions and could identify the underlying structures of the pionic states. We study the energy dependence of the (d, $^3$He) reactions and the change of the excitation functions with the incident energy.Comment: 5 pages, Latex, Figures available on request, Z.Phys.A.accepte

Role of quark-quark correlation in baryon structure and non-leptonic weak transitions of hyperons

We study the role of quark-quark correlation in the baryon structure and, in particular, the hyperon non-leptonic weak decay, which is sensitive to the correlation between quarks in the spin-0 channel. We rigorously solve non-relativistic three-body problem for SU(3) ground state baryons to take into account the quark-pair correlation explicitly. With the suitable attraction in the spin-0 channel, resulting static baryon properties as well as the parity conserving weak decay amplitudes agree with the experimental values. Special emphasis is placed also on the effect of the SU(6) spin-flavor symmetry breaking on the baryon structure. Although the SU(6) breaking effects on the local behavior of the quark wave functions are considerable due to the spin-0 attraction, the calculated magnetic moments are almost the same as the naive SU(6) expectations

Flavor independent systematics of excited baryons and intra-band transition

Transitions among excited nucleons are studied within a non-relativistic quark model with a deformed harmonic oscillator potential. The transition amplitudes are factorized into the $l$-th moment and a geometrical factor. This fact leads to an analogous result to the ``Alaga-rule'' for baryons.Comment: 4 Pages, 2 figures, Talk given at XVI International Conference on Particles and Nuclei (PaNic02), Osaka, Japan, Sep.30 - Oct.4, 200

Spectral sum for the color-Coulomb potential in SU(3) Coulomb gauge lattice Yang-Mills theory

We discuss the essential role of the low-lying eigenmodes of the Faddeev-Popov (FP) ghost operator on the confining color-Coulomb potential using SU(3) quenched lattice simulations in the Coulomb gauge. The color-Coulomb potential is expressed as a spectral sum of the FP ghost operator and has been explored by partially summing the FP eigenmodes. We take into account the Gribov copy effects that have a great impact on the FP eigenvalues and the color-Coulomb potential. We observe that the lowest eigenvalue vanishes in the thermodynamic limit much faster than that in the Landau gauge. The color-Coulomb potential at large distances is governed by the near-zero FP eigenmodes; in particular, the lowest one accounts for a substantial portion of the color-Coulomb string tension comparable to the Wilson string tension.Comment: 14 pages, 14 figure

Effect of the tensor force in the exchange channel on the spin-orbit splitting in 23F in the Hartree-Fock framework

We study the spin-orbit splitting ($ls$-splitting) for the proton d-orbits in 23F in the Hartree-Fock framework with the tensor force in the exchange channel. 23F has one more proton around the neutron-rich nucleus 22O. A recent experiment indicates that the ls-splitting for the proton d-orbits in 23F is reduced from that in 17F. Our calculation shows that the ls-splitting in 23F becomes smaller by about a few MeV due to the tensor force. This effect comes from the interaction between the valence proton and the occupied neutrons in the 0d5/2 orbit through the tensor force and makes the ls-splitting in 23F close to the experimental data
