Dynamical meson-baryon resonances with chiral Lagrangians
The s-wave meson-baryon interaction is studied using the lowest-order chiral
Lagrangian in a unitary coupled-channels Bethe-Salpeter equation. In the
strangeness sector the low-energy dynamics leads to the
dynamical generation of the as a state, along with
a good description of the scattering observables. At higher energies,
the is also found to be generated dynamically as a
quasibound state for the first time. For strangeness S=0, it is the
resonance that emerges from the coupled-channels equations,
leading to a satisfactory description of meson-baryon scattering observables in
the energy region around the . We speculate on the possible
dynamical generation of resonances within the chiral sector as
or quasibound states.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Talk given at NSTAR2001, Workshop on the Physics

Radiative decays of dynamically generated charmed baryons
In this work we study the radiative decay of dynamically generated
J^P=\oh^- charm baryons into the ground state J^P=\oh^+ baryons. Since
different theoretical interpretations of these baryonic resonances, and in
particular of the , give different predictions, a precise
experimental measurement of these decays would be an important step for
understanding their nature.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figur
Non-localities and Fermi motion corrections in atoms
We evaluate the p-wave amplitudes from the chiral Lagrangians and from
there construct the p-wave part of the nucleus optical potential plus a
small s-wave part induced from the elementary p-wave amplitude and the nuclear
Fermi motion. Simultaneously, the momentum and energy dependence of the s-wave
optical potential, previously developed, are taken into account and shown to
generate a small p-wave correction to the optical potential. All the
corrections considered are small compared to the leading s-wave potential, and
lead to changes in the shifts and widths which are smaller than the
experimental errors.
A thorough study of the threshold region and low densities is conducted,
revealing mathematical problems for which a physical solution is given.Comment: revised version, 28 pages, Latex, 8 postscript figures. Submitted to

Radiative production of the Lambda(1405) resonance in K collisions on protons and nuclei
We have carried a theoretical study of the K^- p\to M B \gamma reaction with
M B = K^-p, \bar{K}^0 n, \pi^- \Sigma^+, \pi^+ \Sigma^-, \pi^0 \Sigma^0, \pi^0
\Lambda, for K^- lab. momenta between 200 and 500 MeV/c, using a chiral unitary
approach for the strong K^-p interaction with its coupled channels. The
\Lambda(1405) resonance, which is generated dynamically in this approach, shows
up clearly in the d\sigma/dM_I spectrum, providing new tests for chiral
symmetry and the unitary approach, as well as information regarding the nature
of the resonance. The photon detection alone, summing all channels, is shown to
reproduce quite accurately the strength and shape of the \Lambda(1405)
resonance. Analogous reactions in nuclei can provide much information on the
properties of this resonance in a nuclear medium.Comment: 11 pages, 3 postscripts figure
The Minimum Description Length Principle and Model Selection in Spectropolarimetry
It is shown that the two-part Minimum Description Length Principle can be
used to discriminate among different models that can explain a given observed
dataset. The description length is chosen to be the sum of the lengths of the
message needed to encode the model plus the message needed to encode the data
when the model is applied to the dataset. It is verified that the proposed
principle can efficiently distinguish the model that correctly fits the
observations while avoiding over-fitting. The capabilities of this criterion
are shown in two simple problems for the analysis of observed
spectropolarimetric signals. The first is the de-noising of observations with
the aid of the PCA technique. The second is the selection of the optimal number
of parameters in LTE inversions. We propose this criterion as a quantitative
approach for distinguising the most plausible model among a set of proposed
models. This quantity is very easy to implement as an additional output on the
existing inversion codes.Comment: Accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journa
Intrinsic structure of two-phonon states in the interacting boson model
A general study of excitations up to two-phonon states is carried out using
the intrinsic-state formalism of the Interacting Boson Model (IBM). Spectra and
transitions for the different dynamical symmetries are analyzed and the
correspondence with states in the laboratory frame is established. The
influence of multi-phonon states is discussed. The approach is useful in
problems where the complexity of the IBM spectrum renders the analysis in the
laboratory frame difficult.Comment: 22 pages, TeX (ReVTeX). 7 eps figures. Submitted to Nucl. Phys.
Dynamically generated open charmed baryons beyond the zero range approximation
The interaction of the low lying pseudo-scalar mesons with the ground state
baryons in the charm sector is studied within a coupled channel approach using
a t-channel vector-exchange driving force. The amplitudes describing the
scattering of the pseudo-scalar mesons off the ground-state baryons are
obtained by solving the Lippmann--Schwinger equation. We analyze in detail the
effects of going beyond the approximation. Our model predicts the
dynamical generation of several open charmed baryon resonances in different
isospin and strangeness channels, some of which can be clearly identified with
recently observed states.Comment: 7 figures, 8 table
