    Pionic BEC--BCS crossover at finite isospin chemical potential

    Full text link
    We study the character change of the pionic condensation at finite isospin chemical potential \mu_\mathrm{I} by adopting the linear sigma model as a non-local interaction between quarks. At low |\mu_\mathrm{I}| the condensation is purely bosonic, then the Cooper pairing around the Fermi surface grows gradually as |\mu_\mathrm{I}| increases. This q-\bar q pairing is weakly coupled in comparison with the case of the q-q pairing that leads to color superconductivity.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures, typos in eq.(6) and refs.[37] and [41] are corrected, published in Phys.

    Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov Approach for Nuclear Matter with Non-Linear Coupling Terms

    Get PDF
    We investigate the pairing property of nuclear matter with Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov(RHB) approach. Recently, the RHB approach has been widely applied to nuclear matter and finite nuclei. We have extended the RHB approach to be able to include non-linear coupling terms of mesons. In this paper we apply it to nuclear matter and observe the effect of non-linear terms on pairing gaps.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure

    Anti-damping spin transfer torque through epitaxial Nickel oxide

    Get PDF
    We prepare the high quality epitaxial MgO(001)[100]/Pt(001)[100]/NiO(001)[100]/FeNi/SiO2 films to investigate the spin transport in the NiO antiferromagnetic insulator. The ferromagnetic resonance measurements of the FeNi under a spin current injection from the Pt by the spin Hall effect revealed the change of the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth depending on the amount of the spin current injection. The results can be interpreted that there is an angular momentum transfer through the NiO. A high efficient angular momentum transfer we observed in the epitaxial NiO can be attributed to the well-defined orientation of the antiferromagnetic moments and the spin quantization axis of the injected spin current

    Prediction for Γ(Hτ+τ)/Γ(Hμ+μ)\Gamma(H\to \tau^+\tau^-)/ \Gamma(H\to \mu^+\mu^-) from Non-Abelian Flavor Symmetry

    Full text link
    It is shown that the ratio of branching ratios in Higgs boson decay r=Γ(Hτ+τ)/Γ(Hμ+μ)r = \Gamma(H \to \tau^+\tau^-)/\Gamma(H\to \mu^+\mu^-) in a simplified (T×Z2T^{'} \times Z_2) model is (r)T×Z20.001(r)_{T^{'} \times Z_2} \simeq 0.001. This prediction is on a footing with the successful one in (s,d)(s, d) mixing, tan2Θ12=1/3(2)\tan 2 \Theta_{12} = {1/3}(\sqrt{2}). This value for rr differs from that of the minimal standard model by a very large factor (over 250,000) and can provide a smoking gun for (T×Z2T^{'} \times Z_2) flavor symmetry.Comment: Additional explanation.

    Strong Incompatability of Tribimaximal Mixing with Quark-Lepton Complementarity

    Full text link
    Although tribimaximal mixing (TBM) and quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) are both compatible with experimental data within one standard deviation (1σ 1 \sigma), the TBM and QLC assumptions are mutually exclusive by 56σ56 \sigma.Comment: Reference added. Minor edi

    Constraints on Deflation from the Equation of State of Dark Energy

    Get PDF
    In cyclic cosmology based on phantom dark energy the requirement that our universe satisfy a CBE-condition ({\it Comes Back Empty}) imposes a lower bound on the number NcpN_{\rm cp} of causal patches which separate just prior to turnaround. This bound depends on the dark energy equation of state w=p/ρ=1ϕw = p/\rho = -1 - \phi with ϕ>0\phi > 0. More accurate measurement of ϕ\phi will constrain NcpN_{\rm cp}. The critical density ρc\rho_c in the model has a lower bound ρc(109GeV)4\rho_c \ge (10^9 {\rm GeV})^4 or ρc(1018GeV)4\rho_c \ge (10^{18} {\rm GeV})^4 when the smallest bound state has size 101510^{-15}m, or 103510^{-35}m, respectively.Comment: 23 pages, 3 figures, typos fixe

    The electronic specific heat in the pairing pseudogap regime

    Full text link
    When pairing correlations in a quasi two dimensional electron system induce a pseudogap in the single particle density of states, the specific heat must also contain a sizeable pair contribution. The theoretically calculated specific heat for such a system is compared to the experimental results of Loram and his collaborators for underdoped YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} and La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_4 samples. The size and doping dependence of the extracted pseudogap energy scale for both materials is comparable to the values obtained from a variety of other experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 5 eps figure

    Possibility of \Lambda\Lambda pairing and its dependence on background density in relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model

    Full text link
    We calculate a \Lambda\Lambda pairing gap in binary mixed matter of nucleons and \Lambda hyperons within the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model. Lambda hyperons to be paired up are immersed in background nucleons in a normal state. The gap is calculated with a one-boson-exchange interaction obtained from a relativistic Lagrangian. It is found that at background density \rho_{N}=2.5\rho_{0} the \Lambda\Lambda pairing gap is very small, and that denser background makes it rapidly suppressed. This result suggests a mechanism, specific to mixed matter dealt with relativistic models, of its dependence on the nucleon density. An effect of weaker \Lambda\Lambda attraction on the gap is also examined in connection with revised information of the \Lambda\Lambda interaction.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, REVTeX 4; substantially rewritten, emphasis is put on the LL pairing in pure neutron matte

    Meson mass at real and imaginary chemical potentials

    Full text link
    The chemical-potential dependence of pi and sigma meson masses is analyzed at both real and imaginary chemical potentials, μR\mu_\mathrm{R} and μI\mu_\mathrm{I}, by using the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model that possesses both the extended Z3{\mathbb Z}_3 symmetry and the chiral symmetry. In the μI\mu_\mathrm{I} region, the meson masses have the Roberge-Weiss periodicity. Assuming that the meson masses will be measured at finite μI\mu_\mathrm{I} by lattice QCD in future, we simulate how meson masses at finite μR\mu_\mathrm{R} are extracted from those at finite μI\mu_\mathrm{I}, and propose a reliable extraction method.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, typo corrected, some discussions clarified, version accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
