Coherent storage of photoexcited triplet states using 29Si nuclear spins in silicon
Pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of the photoexcited,
metastable triplet state of the oxygen-vacancy center in silicon reveals that
the lifetime of the ms = \pm1 sub-levels differ significantly from that of the
ms =0 state. We exploit this significant difference in decay rates to the
ground singlet state to achieve nearly ~100% electron spin polarization within
the triplet. We further demonstrate the transfer of a coherent state of the
triplet electron spin to, and from, a hyperfine-coupled, nearest-neighbor 29Si
nuclear spin. We measure the coherence time of the 29 Si nuclear spin employed
in this operation and find it to be unaffected by the presence of the triplet
electron spin and equal to the bulk value measured by nuclear magnetic
resonance.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Precision spectroscopy of pionic 1s states of Sn nuclei and evidence for partial restoration of chiral symmetry in the nuclear medium
Deeply bound 1s states of in Sn were preferentially
observed using the Sn(,He) pion-transfer reaction under the recoil-free
condition. The 1s binding energies and widths were precisely determined, and
were used to deduce the isovector parameter of the s-wave pion-nucleus
potential to be . The observed enhancement
of over the free value ()
indicates a reduction of the chiral order parameter, , at the normal nuclear density, .Comment: 4 pages including 3 postscript figures, RevTeX 4 with multirow.sty,

Pionic Atom Spectroscopy in the (d,3He) reaction at finite angles
We study the formation of deeply bound pionic atoms in the (d,3He) reactions
theoretically and show the energy spectra of the emitted 3He at finite angles,
which are expected to be observed experimentally. We find that the different
combinations of the pion-bound and neutron-hole states dominate the spectra at
different scattering angles because of the matching condition of the reaction.
We conclude that the observation of the (d,3He) reaction at finite angles will
provide the systematic information of the pionic bound states in each nucleus
and will help to develop the study of the pion properties and the partial
restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclei.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
correlations from the stopped reaction on He
We have investigated correlations of coincident pairs from the
stopped reaction on He, and clearly observed and
branches of the two-nucleon absorption process in the
invariant mass spectra. In addition, non-mesonic reaction channels, which
indicate possible exotic signals for the formation of strange multibaryon
states, have been identified.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letter
