Narrow Pentaquark States in a Quark Model with Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics
The exotic baryon is studied with microscopic
calculations in a quark model by using a method of antisymmetrized molecular
dynamics(AMD). We predict narrow states, ,
, and , which nearly degenerate in a
low-energy region of the system. We discuss decay widths and
estimate them to be for the , and
MeV for the state.Comment: Talk given at International Workshop on PENTAQUARK04, Spring-8,

Two-pion bound state in sigma channel at finite temperature
We study how we can understand the change of the spectral function and the
pole location of the correlation function for sigma at finite temperature,
which were previously obtained in the linear sigma model with a resummation
technique called optimized perturbation theory. There are two relevant poles in
the sigma channel. One pole is the original sigma pole which shows up as a
broad peak at zero temperature and becomes lighter as the temperature
increases. The behavior is understood from the decreasing of the sigma
condensate, which is consistent with the Brown-Rho scaling. The other pole
changes from a virtual state to a bound state of pion-pion as the temperature
increases which causes the enhancement at the pion-pion threshold. The behavior
is understood as the emergence of the pion-pion bound state due to the
enhancement of the pion-pion attraction by the induced emission in medium. The
latter pole, not the former, eventually degenerates with pion above the
critical temperature of the chiral transition. This means that the observable
"sigma" changes from the former to the latter pole, which can be interpreted as
the level crossing of "sigma" and pion-pion at finite temperature.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Recent topics of mesic atoms and mesic nuclei -- mesic nuclei exist ?--
We study -meson production in nuclei to investigate the in-medium
modification of the -meson spectral function at finite density. We
consider (), () and () reactions to produce a
-meson inside the nucleus and evaluate the effects of the medium
modifications to reaction cross sections. The structures of the bound states,
-mesic nuclei, are also studied. For strong absorptive interaction cases,
we need to know the spectrum shape in a wide energy region to deduce the
properties of .Comment: Talk given at EXA08, Vienna, September 2008. To be published in the

Axial vector tetraquark with S=+2
Possibility of an axial vector isoscalar tetraquark with
is discussed. If the pentaquark has the
configuration, the isoscalar
(-meson) state with is expected to
exist in the mass region lower than or close to the mass of .
Within a flux-tube quark model, a possible resonant state of
is suggested to appear around 1.4 GeV with the
width MeV. We propose that the -meson is a
good candidate for the tetraquark search, which would be observed in the
decay channel.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.
eta-Nucleus interactions and in-medium properties of N*(1535) in chiral models
The properties of eta-nucleus interaction and their experimental consequences
are investigated with eta-nucleus optical potentials obtained by postulating
the N*(1535) dominance for eta-N system. The N*(1535) properties in nuclear
medium are evaluated by two kinds of chiral effective models based on distinct
pictures of N*(1535). We find that these two models provide qualitatively
different optical potentials of the eta meson, reflecting the in-medium
properties of N*(1535) in these models. In order to compare these models in
physical observables, we calculate spectra of (d,3He) reactions for the eta
mesic nucleus formation with various kinds of target nuclei. We show that the
(d,3He) spectra obtained in these models are significantly different and are
expected to be distinguishable in experiments.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figure
Single-Particle Spin-Orbit Strengths of the Nucleon and Hyperons by SU6 Quark-Model
The quark-model hyperon-nucleon interaction suggests an important
antisymmetric spin-orbit component. It is generated from a color analogue of
the Fermi-Breit interaction dominating in the one-gluon exchange process
between quarks. We discuss the strength S_B of the single-particle spin-orbit
potential, following the Scheerbaum's prescription. Using the SU6 quark-model
baryon-baryon interaction which was recently developed by the Kyoto-Niigata
group, we calculate NN, Lambda N and Sigma N G-matrices in symmetric nuclear
matter and apply them to estimate the strength S_B. The ratio of S_B to the
nucleon strength S_N =~ -40 MeV*fm^5 is (S_Lambda)/(S_N) =~ 1/5 and
(S_Sigma)/(S_N) =~ 1/2 in the Born approximation. The G-matrix calculation of
the model FSS modifies S_Lambda to (S_Lambda)/(S_N) =~ 1/12. For S_N and
S_Sigma, the effect of the short-range correlation is comparatively weak
against meson-exchange potentials with a short-range repulsive core. The
significant reduction of the Lambda single-particle potential arises from the
combined effect of the antisymmetric LS force, the flavor-symmetry breaking
originating from the strange to up-down quark-mass difference, as well as the
effect of the short-range correlation. The density dependence of S_B is also
examined.Comment: 26 page
Spin-Orbit Force of Instanton-Induced Interaction in Strange and Charmed Systems
Effects of the spin orbit-force on hadronic systems with strangeness or charm
are investigated by a valence quark model with the instanton-induced
interaction. By introducing this interaction, the spin-orbit splittings in the
negative-parity hyperons becomes 0.14 -- 0.37 times smaller. The flavor-octet
baryon mass spectrum and the splittings in the charmed baryons become
consistent with the experiments. Though the splitting is also reduced in the
flavor-singlet baryons, it still gives two third of the experimental value. The
reduction comes from the cancellation between the one-gluon exchange and the
instanton-induced interaction, which is channel-specific. In most of the
two-baryon channels, the symmetric and antisymmetric spin-orbit force of the YN
interaction remains strong after introducing this instanton effect. A few
exceptional channels, however, are found where the cancellation affects
strongly and the spin-orbit force becomes small.Comment: 22 pages & 2 figure
Two cases of variceal haemorrhage during living-donor liver transplantation
Some patients with cirrhosis experience rupture of venous varices before operation, and liver transplantation is a therapy of last resort for these patients. However, we have experienced two cases of intraoperative rupture in whom no abnormalities of the venous varices were seen on endoscopy before operation. One patient with ruptured gastrointestinal varices was treated by direct surgical ligation and the other with ruptured oesophageal gastric varices, spontaneously recovered with a SengstakenâBlakemore tube. These cases suggest that acute variceal haemorrhage should always be considered as a possibility during living-donor liver transplantation in patients with a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Careful observation of the nasogastic tube is important during clamping of the hepatic portal vein
