Nonequilibrium Steady State of Photoexcited Correlated Electrons in the Presence of Dissipation

We present a framework to determine nonequilibrium steady states in strongly correlated electron systems in the presence of dissipation. This is demonstrated for a correlated electron (Falicov-Kimball) model attached to a heat bath and irradiated by an intense pump light, for which an exact solution is obtained with the Floquet method combined with the nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory. On top of a Drude-like peak indicative of photometallization as observed in recent pump-probe experiments, new nonequilibrium phenomena are predicted to emerge, where the optical conductivity exhibits dip and kink structures around the frequency of the pump light, a midgap absorption arising from photoinduced Floquet subbands, and a negative attenuation (gain) due to a population inversion.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, published versio

Operator product expansion and the short distance behavior of 3-flavor baryon potentials

The short distance behavior of baryon-baryon potentials defined through Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave functions is investigated using the operator product expansion. In a previous analysis of the nucleon-nucleon case, corresponding to the SU(3) channels $27_s$ and $\overline{10}_a$, we argued that the potentials have a repulsive core. A new feature occurs for the case of baryons made up of three flavors: manifestly asymptotically attractive potentials appear in the singlet and octet channels. Attraction in the singlet channel was first indicated by quark model considerations, and recently been found in numerical lattice simulations. The latter have however not yet revealed asymptotic attraction in the octet channels; we give a speculative explanation for this apparent discrepancy.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure

Nutrient reserve difference between young and adult Short-tailed Shearwaters, Puffinus tenuirostris, before and after trans-equatorial migration

The Short-tailed Shearwater, Puffinus tenuirostris, is a trans-equatorial migrant, breeding in Tasmania and other parts of southeastern Australia during the Austral summer and migrating to the northern North Pacific for the Boreal summer. Juveniles, in particular, suffer considerable mortality during the migration. Body composition of juveniles and adults in terms of body mass, lipid content, pectoral muscle mass and bone marrow content, before and after migration was investigated. Juveniles varied greatly in body composition pre- and post-migration and took longer to recover their nutritional status than adults. Adults sustained a better body composition, showing a moderate decrease in body fat upon arrival in the north and recovering their body mass and lipid supply during their stay. The lipid content of beachcast bird carcasses (mean, 4 g) was the minimum necessary for cell membranes and was not metabolisable for energy. Pectoral muscle protein remained high among birds under hyper-nutritional conditions, and decreased gradually at first as lipids decreased, and then rapidly at late malnutritional stages when most lipids had been utilised for energy. Although adults sustained their nutritional status, the amount of lipids in adults leaving the Tasmanian colony was insufficient to accomplish the long-distance migration, so post-breeding adults probably first visited Antarctic waters to accumulate fat reserves before commencing their northward migration

Lambda(1405) as a Resonance in the Baryon-Meson Scattering Coupled to the q^3 State in a Quark Model

In order to describe Lambda(1405) as a resonance in the baryon-meson scattering, we have investigated q^3-q qbar scattering system with the flavor-singlet q^3 (0s)^2(0p) state (the Lambda^1 pole). The scattering is treated by the quark cluster model (QCM). The Lambda^1 pole is treated as a bound state embedded in the continuum. We found that the peak appears below the N Kbar threshold in the spin one half, isospin 0 channel even if the mass of the Lambda^1 pole is above the threshold. This peak disappears when the coupling to the Lambda^1 pole is switched off. To use the observed hadron mass in the kinetic part of QCM is also found to be important to reproduce a peak just below the N Kbar threshold.Comment: 16 pages and 7 figure

Photoinduced insulator-metal transition in correlated electrons -- a Floquet analysis with the dynamical mean-field theory

In order to investigate photoinduced insulator-metal transitions observed in correlated electron systems, we propose a new theoretical method, where we combine a Floquet-matrix method for AC-driven systems with the dynamical mean-field theory. The method can treat nonequilibrium steady states exactly beyond the linear-response regime. We have applied the method to the Falicov-Kimball model coupled to AC electric fields, and numerically obtained the spectral function, the nonequilibrium distribution function and the current-voltage characteristic. The results show that intense AC fields indeed drive Mott-like insulating states into photoinduced metallic states in a nonlinear way.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Proceedings of LT2

Spin 3/2 Penta-quarks in anisotropic lattice QCD

A high-precision mass measurement for the pentaquark (5Q) Theta^+ in J^P=3/2^{\pm} channel is performed in anisotropic quenched lattice QCD using a large number of gauge configurations as N_{conf}=1000. We employ the standard Wilson gauge action at beta=5.75 and the O(a) improved Wilson (clover) quark action with kappa=0.1210(0.0010)0.1240 on a 12^3 \times 96 lattice with the renormalized anisotropy as a_s/a_t = 4. The Rarita-Schwinger formalism is adopted for the interpolating fields. Several types of the interpolating fields with isospin I=0 are examined such as (a) the NK^*-type, (b) the (color-)twisted NK^*-type, (c) a diquark-type. The chiral extrapolation leads to only massive states, i.e., m_{5Q} \simeq 2.1-2.2 GeV in J^P=3/2^- channel, and m_{5Q} = 2.4-2.6 GeV in J^P=3/2^+ channel. The analysis with the hybrid boundary condition(HBC) is performed to investigate whether these states are compact 5Q resonances or not. No low-lying compact 5Q resonance states are found below 2.1GeV.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, 4 table

Relation between the separable and one-boson-exchange potential for the covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation

We investigate the relation between the rank I separable potential for the covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation and the one-boson-exchange potential. After several trials of the parameter choices, it turns out that it is not always possible to reproduce the phase-shifts calculated from a single term of the one-boson-exchange potential especially of the $\sigma$-exchange term, separately by the rank I separable potential. Instead, it is shown that the separable potential is useful to parameterize the total nucleon-nucleon interaction.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, to appear in J.Phys.
