Test of the Conserved Vector Current Hypothesis by beta-ray Angular Distribution Measurement in the Mass-8 System
The beta-ray angular correlations for the spin alignments of 8Li and 8B have
been observed in order to test the conserved vector current (CVC) hypothesis.
The alignment correlation terms were combined with the known beta-alpha-angular
correlation terms to determine all the matrix elements contributing to the
correlation terms. The weak magnetism term, 7.5\pm0.2, deduced from the
beta-ray correlation terms was consistent with the CVC prediction 7.3\pm0.2,
deduced from the analog-gamma-decay measurement based on the CVC hypothesis.
However, there was no consistent CVC prediction for the second-forbidden term
associated with the weak vector current. The experimental value for the
second-forbidden term was 1.0 \pm 0.3, while the CVC prediction was 0.1 \pm 0.4
or 2.1 \pm 0.5.Comment: 31 pages, 12 figures, Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

Ground-state electric quadrupole moment of 31Al
Ground-state electric quadrupole moment of 31Al (I =5/2+, T_1/2 = 644(25) ms)
has been measured by means of the beta-NMR spectroscopy using a spin-polarized
31Al beam produced in the projectile fragmentation reaction. The obtained Q
moment, |Q_exp(31Al)| = 112(32)emb, are in agreement with conventional shell
model calculations within the sd valence space. Previous result on the magnetic
moment also supports the validity of the sd model in this isotope, and thus it
is concluded that 31Al is located outside of the island of inversion.Comment: 5 page
The tensor structure on the representation category of the triplet algebra
We study the braided monoidal structure that the fusion product induces on
the abelian category -mod, the category of representations of
the triplet -algebra . The -algebras are a
family of vertex operator algebras that form the simplest known examples of
symmetry algebras of logarithmic conformal field theories. We formalise the
methods for computing fusion products, developed by Nahm, Gaberdiel and Kausch,
that are widely used in the physics literature and illustrate a systematic
approach to calculating fusion products in non-semi-simple representation
categories. We apply these methods to the braided monoidal structure of
-mod, previously constructed by Huang, Lepowsky and Zhang, to
prove that this braided monoidal structure is rigid. The rigidity of
-mod allows us to prove explicit formulae for the fusion product
on the set of all simple and all projective -modules, which were
first conjectured by Fuchs, Hwang, Semikhatov and Tipunin; and Gaberdiel and
Runkel.Comment: 58 pages; edit: added references and revisions according to referee

Quadrupole Moments of Neutron-Deficient Na
The electric-quadrupole coupling constant of the ground states of the proton
drip line nucleus Na( = 2, = 447.9 ms) and the
neutron-deficient nucleus Na( = 3/2, = 22.49 s)
in a hexagonal ZnO single crystal were precisely measured to be kHz and 939 14 kHz, respectively, using the multi-frequency
-ray detecting nuclear magnetic resonance technique under presence of an
electric-quadrupole interaction. A electric-quadrupole coupling constant of
Na in the ZnO crystal was also measured to be
kHz. The electric-quadrupole moments were extracted as Na) = 10.3
0.8 fm and Na) = 14.0 1.1 fm, using
the electric-coupling constant of Na and the known quadrupole moment of
this nucleus as references. The present results are well explained by
shell-model calculations in the full -shell model space.Comment: Accepted for publication in Physics Letters
