Doublet bands in Cs in the triaxial rotor model coupled with two quasiparticles
The positive parity doublet bands based on the configuration in Cs have been investigated in the two
quasi-particles coupled with a triaxial rotor model. The energy spectra ,
energy staggering parameter , and
values, intraband ratios,
ratios, and orientation of the
angular momentum for the rotor as well as the valence proton and neutron are
calculated. After including the pairing correlation, good agreement has been
obtained between the calculated results and the data available, which supports
the interpretation of this positive parity doublet bands as chiral bands.Comment: Phys.Rev.C (accepted
Monotonicity results and bounds for the inverse hyperbolic sine
In this note, we present monotonicity results of a function involving to the
inverse hyperbolic sine. From these, we derive some inequalities for bounding
the inverse hyperbolic sine.Comment: 3 page
Chiral geometry of higher excited bands in triaxial nuclei with particle-hole configuration
The lowest six rotational bands have been studied in the particle-rotor model
with the particle-hole configuration
and different triaxiality parameter . Both constant and spin-dependent
variable moments of inertial (CMI and VMI) are introduced. The energy spectra,
electromagnetic transition probabilities, angular momentum components and
-distribution have been examined. It is shown that, besides the band 1 and
band 2, the predicted band 3 and band 4 in the calculations of both CMI and VMI
for atomic nuclei with could be interpreted as chiral doublet
bands.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Candidate MKiD nucleus 106Rh in triaxial relativistic mean-field approach with time-odd fields
The configuration-fixed constrained triaxial relativistic mean-field approach
is extended by including time-odd fields and applied to study the candidate
multiple chiral doublets (MKiD) nucleus 106Rh. The energy contribution from
time-odd fields and microscopical evaluation of center-of-mass correction as
well as the modification of triaxial deformation parameters beta, gamma due to
the time-odd fields are investigated. The contributions of the time-odd fields
to the total energy are 0.1-0.3 MeV and they modify slightly the gamma values.
However, the previously predicted multiple chiral doublets still exist.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication as a Brief Report in

Concise sharpening and generalizations of Shafer's inequality for the arc sine function
In this paper, by a concise and elementary approach, we sharpen and
generalize Shafer's inequality for the arc sine function, and some known
results are extended and generalized.Comment: 5 page
Chiral bands for quasi-proton and quasi-neutron coupling with a triaxial rotor
A particle rotor model (PRM) with a quasi-proton and a quasi-neutron coupled
with a triaxial rotor is developed and applied to study chiral doublet bands
with configurations of a proton and a quasi-neutron. With
pairing treated by the BCS approximation, the present quasi-particle PRM is
aimed at simulating one proton and many neutron holes coupled with a triaxial
rotor. After a detailed analysis of the angular momentum orientations, energy
separation between the partner bands, and behavior of electromagnetic
transitions, for the first time we find aplanar rotation or equivalently chiral
geometry beyond the usual one proton and one neutron hole coupled with a
triaxial rotor.Comment: 25 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review
Experimental demonstration of phase-remapping attack in a practical quantum key distribution system
Unconditional security proofs of various quantum key distribution (QKD)
protocols are built on idealized assumptions. One key assumption is: the sender
(Alice) can prepare the required quantum states without errors. However, such
an assumption may be violated in a practical QKD system. In this paper, we
experimentally demonstrate a technically feasible "intercept-and-resend" attack
that exploits such a security loophole in a commercial "plug & play" QKD
system. The resulting quantum bit error rate is 19.7%, which is below the
proven secure bound of 20.0% for the BB84 protocol. The attack we utilize is
the phase-remapping attack (C.-H. F. Fung, et al., Phys. Rev. A, 75, 32314,
2007) proposed by our group.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figure
