    Relation Between a Three Parameter Formula for Isotope Shifts and Staggering Parameters

    Full text link
    It is noted that the staggering parameters used to describe even-odd effects for isotope shifts can in some cases exhibit very rapidly varying behavior as a function of neutron number. On the other hand a three parameter formula (3P) with fixed coefficients can explain the same behaviour

    Generating functions for canonical systems of fermions

    Full text link
    The method proposed by Pratt to derive recursion relations for systems of degenerate fermions [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 4255 (2000), arXiv:nucl-th/9905055] relies on diagrammatic techniques. This efficient formalism assumes no explicit two-body interactions, makes possible the inclusion of conservation laws and requires low computational time. In this brief report, we show that such recursion relations can be obtained from generating functions, without any restriction as concerns the number of conservation laws (e.g. total energy or angular momentum).Comment: submitted to Physical Review

    Number of Spin II States of Identical Particles

    Full text link
    In this paper we study the enumeration of number (denoted as DI{D_I}) of spin II states for fermions in a single-jj shell and bosons with spin ll. We show that DID_I can be enumerated by the reduction from SU(n+1)(n+1) to SO(3). New regularities of DID_I are discerned.Comment: 3 pages, no figures. to be publishe

    Composite Fermions and quantum Hall systems: Role of the Coulomb pseudopotential

    Full text link
    The mean field composite Fermion (CF) picture successfully predicts angular momenta of multiplets forming the lowest energy band in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems. This success cannot be attributed to a cancellation between Coulomb and Chern-Simons interactions beyond the mean field, because these interactions have totally different energy scales. Rather, it results from the behavior of the Coulomb pseudopotential V(L) (pair energy as a function of pair angular momentum) in the lowest Landau level (LL). The class of short range repulsive pseudopotentials is defined that lead to short range Laughlin like correlations in many body systems and to which the CF model can be applied. These Laughlin correlations are described quantitatively using the formalism of fractional parentage. The discussion is illustrated with an analysis of the energy spectra obtained in numerical diagonalization of up to eleven electrons in the lowest and excited LL's. The qualitative difference in the behavior of V(L) is shown to sometimes invalidate the mean field CF picture when applied to higher LL's. For example, the nu=7/3 state is not a Laughlin nu=1/3 state in the first excited LL. The analysis of the involved pseudopotentials also explains the success or failure of the CF picture when applied to other systems of charged Fermions with Coulomb repulsion, such as the Laughlin quasiparticles in the FQH hierarchy or charged excitons in an electron-hole plasma.Comment: 27 pages, 23 figures, revised version (significant changes in text and figures), submitted to Phil.

    Degeneracies when only T=1 two-body interactions are present

    Full text link
    In the nuclear f_7/2 shell, the nucleon-nucleon interaction can be represented by the eight values E(J)=, J=0,1,...,7, where for even J the isospin is 1, and for odd J it is 0. If we set the T=0 (odd J) two-body matrix elements to 0 (or to a constant), we find several degeneracies which we attempt to explain in this work. We also give more detailed expressions than previously for the energies of the states in question. New methods are used to explain degeneracies that are found in {45}Ti (I=25/2- and 27/2-), {46}V (I=12^+_1 and 13^+_1, as well as I=13^+_2 and 15+), and {47}V (I=29/2- and 31/2-).Comment: 21 pages; RevTeX4. We have filled in some holes, mainly including more equations for the 44Ti Sectio

    JJ-pairing interaction, number of states, and nine-jj sum rules of four identical particles

    Full text link
    In this paper we study JJ-pairing Hamiltonian and find that the sum of eigenvalues of spin II states equals sum of norm matrix elements within the pair basis for four identical particles such as four fermions in a single-jj shell or four bosons with spin ll. We relate number of states to sum rules of nine-jj coefficients. We obtained sum rules for nine-jj coefficients and and summing over (1) even JJ and KK, (2) even JJ and odd KK, (3) odd JJ and odd KK, and (4) both even and odd J,KJ,K, where jj is a half integer and ll is an integer.Comment: 6 pages, no figure, updated version, to be published.

    Low-lying isovector monopole resonances

    Full text link
    The mass difference between the even-even isobaric nuclei having the valence nucleons on the same degenerate level is attributed to a Josephson-type interaction between pairs of protons and pairs of neutrons. This interaction can be understood as an isospin symmetry-breaking mean field for a four-particle interaction separable in the two particles-two holes channel. The strength of this mean field is estimated within an o(5) algebraic model, by using the experimental value of the inertial parameter for the collective isorotation induced by the breaking of the isospin symmetry. In superfluid nuclei, the presumed interaction between the proton and neutron condensates leads to coupled oscillations of the BCS gauge angles, which should appear in the excitation spectrum as low-lying isovector monopole resonances.Comment: 16 pages/LaTex + 1 PostScript figure; related to cond-mat/9904242, math-ph/000500

    Cluster sum rules for three-body systems with angular-momentum dependent interactions

    Full text link
    We derive general expressions for non-energy weighted and energy-weighted cluster sum rules for systems of three charged particles. The interferences between pairs of particles are found to play a substantial role. The energy-weighted sum rule is usually determined by the kinetic energy operator, but we demonstrate that it has similar additional contributions from the angular momentum and parity dependence of two- and three-body potentials frequently used in three-body calculations. The importance of the different contributions is illustrated with the dipole excitations in 6^6He. The results are compared with the available experimental data.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 2 table

    Spin-driven spatial symmetry breaking of spinor condensates in a double-well

    Full text link
    The properties of an F=1 spinor Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a double-well potential are discussed using both a mean-field two-mode approach and a simplified two-site Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. We focus in the region of phase space in which spin effects lead to a symmetry breaking of the system, favoring the spatial localization of the condensate in one well. To model this transition we derive, using perturbation theory, an effective Hamiltonian that describes N/2 spin singlets confined in a double-well potential.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
