Charmonium-hadron interactions from QCD

The heavy quark system is an excellent probe to learn about the QCD dynamics at finite density. First, we discuss the properties of the $J/\psi$ and $D$ meson at finite nucleon density. We discuss why their properties should change at finite density and then introduce an exact QCD relation among these hadron properties and the energy momentum tensor of the medium. Second, we discuss attempts to calculate charmonium-hadron total cross section using effective hadronic models and perturbative QCD. We emphasize a recent calculation, where the cross section is derived using QCD factorization theorem. We conclude by discussing some challenges for SIS 200.Comment: 8 pages, Presented at 6th International Conference on Strange Quarks in Matter: 2001: A Flavorspace Odyssey (SQM2001), Frankfurt, Germany, 25-29 Sep 2001, submitted to J.

Charmonium-Nucleon Dissociation Cross Sections in the Quark Model

Charmonium dissociation cross sections due to flavor-exchange charmonium-baryon scattering are computed in the constituent quark model. We present results for inelastic $J/\psi N$ and $\eta_c N$ scattering amplitudes and cross sections into 46 final channels, including final states composed of various combinations of $D$, $D^*$, $\Sigma_c$, and $\Lambda_c$. These results are relevant to experimental searches for the deconfined phase of quark matter, and may be useful in identifying the contribution of initial $c\bar c$ production to the open-charm final states observed at RHIC through the characteristic flavor ratios of certain channels. These results are also of interest to possible charmonium-nucleon bound states.Comment: 10 pages, 5 eps figures, revte

Higher Derivative CP(N) Model and Quantization of the Induced Chern-Simons Term

We consider higher derivative CP(N) model in 2+1 dimensions with the Wess-Zumino-Witten term and the topological current density squared term. We quantize the theory by using the auxiliary gauge field formulation in the path integral method and prove that the extended model remains renormalizable in the large N limit. We find that the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory is dynamically induced in the large N effective action at a nontrivial UV fixed point. The quantization of the Chern-Simons term is also discussed.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, a minor change in abstract, added Comments on the quantization of the Chern-Simons term whose coefficient is also corrected, and some references are added. Some typos are corrected. Added a new paragraph checking the equivalence between (3) and (5), and a related referenc

Energy levels of the soliton--heavy-meson bound states

We investigate the bound states of heavy mesons with finite masses to a classical soliton solution in the Skyrme model. For a given model Lagrangian we solve the equations of motion exactly so that the heavy vector mesons are treated on the same footing as the heavy pseudoscalar mesons. All the energy levels of higher grand spin states as well as the ground state are given over a wide range of the heavy meson masses. We also examine the validity of the approximations used in the literatures. The recoil effect of finite mass soliton is naively estimated.Comment: 24 pages, REVTeX v3.0, 6 figures are available upon request

Deformations of coisotropic submanifolds for fibrewise entire Poisson structures

We show that deformations of a coisotropic submanifold inside a fibrewise entire Poisson manifold are controlled by the $L_\infty$-algebra introduced by Oh-Park (for symplectic manifolds) and Cattaneo-Felder. In the symplectic case, we recover results previously obtained by Oh-Park. Moreover we consider the extended deformation problem and prove its obstructedness

Electronic States in Diffused Quantum Wells

In the present study we calculate the energy values and the spatial distributions of the bound electronic states in some diffused quantum wells. The calculations are performed within the virtual crystal approximation, $sp^3 s^*$ spin dependent empirical tight-binding model and the surface Green function matching method. A good agreement is found between our results and experimental data obtained for AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells with thermally induced changes in the profile at the interfaces. Our calculations show that for diffusion lengths $L_{D}=20\div100$ {\AA} the transition (C3-HH3) is not sensitive to the diffusion length, but the transitions (C1-HH1), (C1-LH1), (C2-HH2) and (C2-LH2) display large "blue shifts" as L_{D} increases. For diffusion lengths $L_{D}=0\div20$ {\AA} the transitions (C1-HH1) and (C1-LH1) are less sensitive to the L_{D} changes than the (C3-HH3) transition. The observed dependence is explained in terms of the bound states spatial distributions.Comment: ReVTeX file, 7pp., no macros, 4 figures available on the reques

Evidence of metallic clustering in annealed Ga1-xMnxAs from atypical scaling behavior of the anomalous Hall coefficient

We report on the anomalous Hall coefficient and longitudinal resistivity scaling relationships on a series of annealed Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers (x~0.055). As-grown samples exhibit scaling parameter n of ~ 1. Near the optimal annealing temperature, we find n ~ 2 to be consistent with recent theories on the intrinsic origins of anomalous Hall Effect in Ga1-xMnxAs. For annealing temperatures far above the optimum, we note n > 3, similar behavior to certain inhomogeneous systems. This observation of atypical behavior agrees well with characteristic features attributable to spherical resonance from metallic inclusions from optical spectroscopy measurements.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
