Coherent center domains from local Polyakov loops
We analyze properties of local Polyakov loops using quenched as well as
dynamical SU(3) gauge configurations for a wide range of temperatures. It is
demonstrated that for both, the confined and the deconfined regime, the local
Polyakov loop prefers phase values near the center elements 1, exp(i 2 pi/3),
exp(-i 2 pi/3). We divide the lattice sites into three sectors according to
these phases and show that the sectors give rise to the formation of clusters.
For a suitable definition of these clusters we find that in the quenched case
deconfinement manifests itself as the onset of percolation of the clusters. A
possible continuum limit of the center clusters is discussed
Asymmetry and the Neutron Skin in Heavy Nuclei
In heavy nuclei the spatial distribution of protons and neutrons is
different. At CERN SPS energies production of and differs for
, , and scattering. These two facts lead to an impact
parameter dependence of the to ratio in
collisions. A recent experiment at CERN seems to confirm qualitatively these
predictions. It may open a possibility for determination of neutron density
distribution in nuclei.Comment: 6 pages and 2 figures, a talk by A.Szczurek at the international

A model for orientation effects in electronâtransfer reactions
A method for solving the singleâparticle Schrödinger equation with an oblate spheroidal potential of finite depth is presented. The wave functions are then used to calculate the matrix element T_BA which appears in theories of nonadiabatic electron transfer. The results illustrate the effects of mutual orientation and separation of the two centers on TBA. Trends in these results are discussed in terms of geometrical and nodal structure effects. Analytical expressions related to T_BA for states of spherical wells are presented and used to analyze the nodal structure effects for T_BA for the spheroidal wells
Charge transfer statistics of a molecular quantum dot with strong electron-phonon interaction
We analyze the nonequilibrium transport properties of a quantum dot with a
harmonic degree of freedom (Holstein phonon) coupled to metallic leads, and
derive its full counting statistics (FCS). Using the Lang-Firsov (polaron)
transformation, we construct a diagrammatic scheme to calculate the cumulant
generating function. The electron-phonon interaction is taken into account
exactly, and the employed approximation represents a summation of a diagram
subset with respect to the tunneling amplitude. By comparison to Monte Carlo
data the formalism is shown to capture the basic properties of the strong
coupling regime
Contact interaction in an unitary ultracold Fermi gas
An ultracold Fermi atomic gas at unitarity presents universal properties that
in the diluted limit can be well described by a contact interaction. By
employing a guide function with correct boundary conditions and making simple
modifications to the sampling procedure we are able to handle for the first
time a true contact interaction in a quantum Monte Carlo calculation. The
results are obtained with small variances. Our calculations for the Bertsch and
contact parameters are in excellent agreement with published experiments. The
possibility of using a more faithfully description of ultracold atomic gases
can help uncover features yet unknown of the ultracold atomic gases. In
addition, this work paves the way to perform quantum Monte Carlo calculations
for systems interacting with contact interactions, where in many cases the
description using potentials with finite effective range might not be accurate
Massless and massive one-loop three-point functions in negative dimensional approach
In this article we present the complete massless and massive one-loop
triangle diagram results using the negative dimensional integration method
(NDIM). We consider the following cases: massless internal fields; one massive,
two massive with the same mass m and three equal masses for the virtual
particles. Our results are given in terms of hypergeometric and
hypergeometric-type functions of external momenta (and masses for the massive
cases) where the propagators in the Feynman integrals are raised to arbitrary
exponents and the dimension of the space-time D. Our approach reproduces the
known results as well as other solutions as yet unknown in the literature.
These new solutions occur naturally in the context of NDIM revealing a
promising technique to solve Feynman integrals in quantum field theories
