Asymptotics of neutron Cooper pair in weakly bound nuclei
Asymptotic form of neutron Cooper pair penetrating to the exterior of nuclear
surface is investigated with the Bogoliubov theory for the superfluid Fermions.
Based on a two-particle Schr\"{o}dinger equation governing the Cooper pair wave
function and systematic studies for both weakly bound and stable nuclei, the
Cooper pair is shown to be spatially correlated even in the asymptotic large
distance limit, and the penetration length of the pair condensate is revealed
to be universally governed by the two-neutron separation energy and
the di-neutron mass
Pair correlation of giant halo nuclei in continuum Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory
The giant halos predicted in neutron-rich Zr isotopes with are
investigated by using the self-consistent continuum Skyrme
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach, in which the asymptotic behavior of continuum
quasiparticle states is properly treated by the Green's function method. We
study in detail the neutron pair correlation involved in the giant halo by
analyzing the asymptotic exponential tail of the neutron pair condensate (pair
density) in addition to that of the neutron particle density. The neutron
quasiparticle spectra associated with these giant halo nuclei are examined. It
is found that the asymptotic exponential tail of the neutron pair condensate is
dominated by non-resonant continuum quasiparticle states corresponding to the
scattering states with low asymptotic kinetic energy. This is in contrast to
the asymptotic tail of the neutron density, whose main contributions arise from
the resonant quasiparticle states corresponding to the weakly-bound
single-particle orbits and resonance orbits in the Hartree-Fock potential
Highly efficient methods for the one-pot synthesis of b-substituted enones
A mild and practically-convenient one-pot procedure for the direct b-substitution of enones has been developed using a conjugate addition–oxidation strategy with a full range of copper-based reagents and N-tert-butylphenylsulfinimidoyl chloride; alkyl- and aryl-substituted enones are delivered in good to excellent yields
Di-neutron correlation and soft dipole excitation in medium mass neutron-rich nuclei near drip-line
The neutron pairing correlation and the soft dipole excitation in medium-mass
nuclei near drip-line are investigated from a viewpoint of the di-neutron
correlation. Numerical analyses by means of the coordinate-space HFB and the
continuum QRPA methods are performed for even-even O, Ca
and Ni. A clear signature of the di-neutron correlation is found in
the HFB ground state; two neutrons are correlated at short relative distances
\lesim 2 fm with large probability . The soft dipole excitation is
influenced strongly by the neutron pairing correlation, and it accompanies a
large transition density for pair motion of neutrons. This behavior originates
from a coherent superposition of two-quasiparticle configurations consisting of continuum states with high orbital angular momenta
reaching an order of . It raises a picture that the soft dipole
excitation under the influence of neutron pairing is characterized by motion of
di-neutron in the nuclear exterior against the remaining subsystem.
Sensitivity to the density dependence of effective pair force is discussed.Comment: 35 pages, 22 figure
Twisted Elliptic Genera of N=2 SCFTs in Two Dimensions
The elliptic genera of two-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories can
be twisted by the action of the integral Heisenberg group if their U(1) charges
are fractional. The basic properties of the resulting twisted elliptic genera
and the associated twisted Witten indices are investigated with due attention
to their behaviors in orbifoldization. Our findings are illustrated by and
applied to several concrete examples. We give a better understanding of the
duality phenomenon observed long before for certain Landau-Ginzburg models. We
revisit and prove an old conjecture of Witten which states that every ADE
Landau-Ginzburg model and the corresponding minimal model share the same
elliptic genus. Mathematically, we establish ADE generalizations of the
quintuple product identity.Comment: 28 pages; v2 refs adde
Computing in String Field Theory Using the Moyal Star Product
Using the Moyal star product, we define open bosonic string field theory
carefully, with a cutoff, for any number of string oscillators and any
oscillator frequencies. Through detailed computations, such as Neumann
coefficients for all string vertices, we show that the Moyal star product is
all that is needed to give a precise definition of string field theory. The
formulation of the theory as well as the computation techniques are
considerably simpler in the Moyal formulation. After identifying a monoid
algebra as a fundamental mathematical structure in string field theory, we use
it as a tool to compute with ease the field configurations for wedge, sliver,
and generalized projectors, as well as all the string interaction vertices for
perturbative as well as monoid-type nonperturbative states. Finally, in the
context of VSFT we analyze the small fluctuations around any D-brane vacuum. We
show quite generally that to obtain nontrivial mass and coupling, as well as a
closed strings, there must be an associativity anomaly. We identify the
detailed source of the anomaly, but leave its study for future work.Comment: 77 pages, LaTeX. v3: corrections of signs or factors (for a list of

Surface-enhanced pair transfer in quadrupole states of neutron-rich Sn isotopes
We investigate the neutron pair transfer modes associated with the low-lying
quadrupole states in neutron-rich Sn isotopes by means of the quasiparticle
random phase approximation based on the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean
field model. The transition strength of the quadrupole pair-addition mode
feeding the state is enhanced in the Sn isotopes with . The
transition density of the pair-addition mode has a large spatial extension in
the exterior of nucleus, reaching far to fm. The quadrupole
pair-addition mode reflects sensitively a possible increase of the effective
pairing interaction strength in the surface and exterior regions of
neutron-rich nuclei.Comment: 14 page
