Origin of the second coherent peak in the dynamical structure factor of an asymmetric spin-ladder
Appearance of the second coherent peak in the dynamical structure factor of
an asymmetric spin ladder is suggested. The general arguments are confirmed by
the first order (with respect to the asymmetry) calculation for a spin ladder
with singlet-rung ground state. Basing on this result a new interpretation is
proposed for the inelastic neutron scattering data in the spin gap compound
CuHpCl.Comment: 11 page
Low-energy excitations in the magnetized state of the bond-alternating quantum S=1 chain system NTENP
High intensity inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the S=1
quasi-one-dimensional bond-alternating antiferromagnet Ni(C9D24N4)(NO2)ClO4
(NTENP) are performed in magnetic fields of up to 14.8~T. Excitation in the
high field magnetized quantum spin solid (ordered) phase are investigated. In
addition to the previously observed coherent long-lived gap excitation [M.
Hagiwara et al., Phys. Rev. Lett 94, 177202 (2005)], a broad continuum is
detected at lower energies. This observation is consistent with recent
numerical studies, and helps explain the suppression of the lowest-energy gap
mode in the magnetized state of NTENP. Yet another new feature of the
excitation spectrum is found at slightly higher energies, and appears to be
some kind of multi-magnon state.Comment: 5 pages, 4 fugure
Possible methods for the determination of the -parity of the -pentaquark in NN-collisions
We present two possibilities to determine the P-parity of the pentaquark
, in a model independent way, via the measurement of polarization
observables in , or , in
the near threshold region. Besides the measurement of the spin correlation
coefficient, , (in collisions of transversally polarized
nucleons), the coefficient of polarization transfer from the initial
proton to the final hyperon is also unambiguously
related to the parity.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
Resonance Contributions to Photoproduction on Protons Found Using Dispersion Relations and an Isobar Model
The contributions of the resonances , ,
, , , , ,
to are found from the data on cross
sections, beam and target asymmetries using two approaches: fixed-t dispersion
relations and an isobar model. Utilization of the two approaches and comparison
of the results obtained with different parametrizations of the resonance
contributions allowed us to make conclusions about the model-dependence of
these contributions. We conclude that the results for the contributions of the
resonances , , to corresponding
multipole amplitudes are stable. With this the results for and
, combined with their PDG photoexcitation helicity amplitudes,
allowed us to find the branching ratios , which have significantly
better accuracy than the PDG data. The total Breit-Wigner width of the
is model-dependent, we have obtained and using dispersion relations and the isobar model,
respectively. The results for the , ,
, are model dependent, only the signs and orders
of magnitude of their contributions to multipole amplitudes are determined. The
results for the are strongly model-dependent.Comment: 26 pages, 6 figure
Parity-Odd Asymmetries in W-Jet Events at the Tevatron
Parity-odd asymmetries in the decay angular distribution of a W boson
produced with a hard jet in p\bar{p} collisions arise only from QCD
rescattering effects. If observed, these asymmetries will provide a first
demonstration that perturbative QCD calculation is valid for the absorptive
part of scattering amplitudes. We propose a simple observable to measure these
asymmetries and perform realistic Monte Carlo simulations at Tevatron energies.
It is shown that the Tevatron Run-II should provide sufficient statistics to
test the prediction.Comment: 4pages, 2figures, revtex, references and discussions added, version

Low-Energy Constraints on New Physics Revisited
It is possible to place constraints on non-Standard-Model gauge-boson
self-couplings and other new physics by studying their one-loop contributions
to precisely measured observables. We extend previous analyses which constrain
such nonstandard couplings, and we present the results in a compact and
transparent form. Particular attention is given to comparing results for the
light-Higgs scenario, where nonstandard effects are parameterized by an
effective Lagrangian with a linear realization of the electroweak symmetry
breaking sector, and the heavy-Higgs/strongly interacting scenario, described
by the electroweak chiral Lagrangian. The constraints on nonstandard
gauge-boson self-couplings which are obtained from a global analysis of
low-energy data and LEP/SLC measurements on the Z pole are updated and improved
from previous studies. Replaced version: tables and figures of Section VIb
recalculated. There were roundoff problems, especially in Fig. 8. Text
unchanged.Comment: \documentstyle[preprint,aps,floats,psfig]{revtex}, 10 figures,

Description of the resonance as the atom
We discuss the possibility that the recently reported resonance in the spectrum can be described in terms of residual interactions.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figur
A Coulomb Gauge Model of Mesons
A model of mesons which is based on the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge is
presented. The model relies on a novel quasiparticle basis to improve the
reliability of the Fock space expansion. It is also relativistic, yields chiral
pions, and is tightly constrained by QCD (quark masses are the only
parameters). Applications to hidden flavor mesons yield results which are
comparable to phenomenological constituent quark models while revealing the
limitations of such models.Comment: 13 pages, 1 eps figure, 5 table
