Quantum Group SU_{q}(2) and Pairing in Nuclei

A scheme for treating the pairing of nucleons in terms of generators of Quantum Group SU_{q}(2) is presented. The possible applications to nucleon pairs in a single orbit, multishell case, pairing vibrations and superconducting nuclei are discussed. The formalism for performing BCS calculations with q-deformed nucleon pairs is constructed and the role played by deformation parameter q analyzed in the context of nucleons in a single orbit and for Sn Isotopes.Comment: 6 Pages, No figures, To be published in Proceedings of International Conference "Geometrical Aspects of Quantum Fields", Londrina PR, April 2000, World Scientifi

Production of antinuclei in pp collisions at \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV with ALICE at the LHC

First results of ALICE on the production of nuclei and antinuclei in pp collisions at \surd s = 7 TeV are presented. These particles are identified using the energy loss (dE/dx) measurements in the Time Projection Chamber. The Inner Tracking System allows a precise determination of the event vertex, by which primary and secondary particles are well separated. The high statistics of over 350 M events give a significant number of light nuclei and antinuclei such as (anti)deuterons, (anti)tritons, (anti)Helium3 and possibly (anti)hypertritons. The study of nuclei and antinuclei will help to understand their production mechanisms. Antinuclei production as a function of particle multiplicity in an event is discussed in this respect. Various particle ratios obtained from these collisions using predictions from a statistical model are also presented.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figures, Proceeding for ICPAQGP Conference 2010, Goa, Indi

Genuine Four Tangle for Four Qubit States

We report a four qubit polynomial invariant that quantifies genuine four-body correlations. The four qubit invariants are obtained from transformation properties of three qubit invariants under a local unitary on the fourth qubit.Comment: 03 pages, This short communication is a contribution to the proceedings of QCMC 2012 held in Vienna, Austria, July 30th to August 3rd 201
