New magic number for neutron rich Sn isotopes
The variation of E(2+_1) of (134-140)Sn calculated with empirical SMPN
interaction has striking similarity with that of experimental E(2+_1) of
even-even (18-22)O and (42-48)Ca, showing clearly that N=84-88 spectra exhibit
the effect of gradual filling up of \nu(2f_{7/2}) orbital which finally
culminates in a new shell closure at N=90. Realistic two-body interaction CWG
does not show this feature. Spin-tensor decomposition of SMPN and CWG
interactions and variation of their components with valence neutron number
reveals that the origin of the shell closure at 140Sn lies in the three body
effects. Calculations with CWG3, which is obtained by including a simple
three-body monopole term in the CWG interaction, predict decreasing E(2+_1) for
(134-138)Sn and a shell closure at 140Sn.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
High-spin structure and Band Termination in Cd
Excited states of the neutron deficient Cd nucleus have been
investigated via the Ge(Cl, p3n) reaction at beam energy of 135
MeV by use of in-beam spectroscopic methods. Gamma rays depopulating the
excited states were detected using the Gammasphere spectrometer with high-fold
-ray coincidences. A quadrupole -ray coincidence analysis
() has been used to extend the known level scheme. The positive
parity levels have been established up to and
MeV. In addition to the observation of highly-fragmented level scheme belonging
to the positive-parity sequences at E 5 MeV, the termination of a
negative-parity sequence connected by transitions has been established at
and MeV. The experimental results
corresponding to both the positive- and negative-parity sequences have been
theoretically interpreted in the framework of the core particle coupling model.
Evidence is presented for a shape change from collective prolate to
non-collective oblate above the (8011 keV) level and for a
smooth termination of the negative-parity band.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.
Generalized - Model
By parameterizing the t-j model we present a new electron correlation model
with one free parameter for high-temperature superconductivity. This model is
of symmetry. The energy spectrums are shown to be modulated by
the free parameter in the model. The solution and symmetric structures of the
Hilbert space, as well as the Bethe ansatz approach are discussed for special
cases.Comment: 13 page, Latex, to appear in J. Phys.
Hadronic aspects of exotic baryons
In this talk I look into three different topics, addressing first the
possibility that the is a bound state of , exploiting the
results of this study to find out the contribution of two meson and one baryon
components in the baryon antidecuplet and in the third place I present results
on a new resonant exotic baryonic state which appears as dynamically generated
by the Weinberg Tomozawa interaction.Comment: Talk at the International Workshop PENTAQUARK0

High resolution imaging of IgG and IgM molecules by scanning tunneling microscopy in air condition
A scanning tunneling microscope is a powerful tool for obtaining micrographs from conductive and semiconductive materials. The imaging technique has recently been improved for microscopy of nanostructured biomaterials on highly ordered atomic surfaces. We describe, here, high resolution imaging of individual IgM and IgG using a scanning tunneling microscope (Nama-STM) in air condition. The biomolecules were immobilized on the surface of Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG). Obtained micrographs could reveal structural details of immunoglobulins G and M on the atomically flat surfaces. Obtained results confirmed that STM could be more useful than other microscopy techniques for the analysis of single biomolecules. © 2012 Sharif University of Technology.

Towards a microscopic construction of flavour vacua from a space-time foam model
The effect on flavour oscillations of simple expanding background
space-times, motivated by some D-particle foam models, is calculated for a
toy-model of bosons with flavour degrees of freedom. The presence of D-particle
defects in the space-time, which can interact non trivially (via particle
capture) with flavoured particles in a flavour non-preserving way, generates
mixing in the effective field theory of low-energy string excitations.
Moreover, the recoil of the D-particle defect during the capture/scattering
process implies Lorentz violation, which however may be averaged to zero in
isotropic D-particle populations, but implies non-trivial effects in
correlators. Both features imply that the flavoured mixed state sees a
non-trivial flavour (Fock-space) vacuum of a type introduced earlier by Blasone
and Vitiello in a generic context of theories with mixing. We discuss the
orthogonality of the flavour vacua to the usual Fock vacua and the effect on
flavour oscillations in these backgrounds. Furthermore we analyse the equation
of state of the Flavour vacuum, and find that, for slow expansion rates induced
by D particle recoil, it is equivalent to that of a cosmological constant. Some
estimates of these novel non-perturbative contribution to the vacuum energy are
made. The contribution vanishes if the mass difference and the mixing angle of
the flavoured states vanish.Comment: 27 pages RevTex, 2 eps figures incorporate
