SCIENCE, ART AND EDUCATION – THE NEW PARADIGM

Contemporary world is global, interdependent, rapidly changing generating uncertainties compounded by bankrupting nature, destroying human and social capitals. In addition, some sovereign countries possess weapons of mass destruction. It is obvious that the current world is not sustainable, and reduction of threats cannot be achieved within the current paradigm. A new social, economic and political paradigm is required and that can be achieved not by violence, but by more knowledge. Power has shifted from military force to wealth and now to knowledge. Power shift does not merely transfer power, it transforms it. New paradigm is a continuous change, where scientific research, art and education play a dominant role

Can We Extract Lambda-Lambda Interaction from Two-Particle Momentum Correlation ?

We analyze the invariant mass spectrum of Lambda-Lambda in $^{12}C(K^-,K^+ Lambda Lambda)$ reaction at P(K^+)=1.65 GeV/c by using a combined framework of IntraNuclear Cascade (INC) model and the correlation function technique. The observed enhancement at low-invariant masses can be well reproduced with attractive Lambda-Lambda interactions with the scattering length either in the range a = -6 \sim -4 fm (no bound state) or a = 7 \sim 12 fm (with bound state). We also discuss Lambda-Lambda correlation functions in central relativistic heavy-ion collisions as a possible way to eliminate this discrete ambiguity.Comment: 4 Pages, LaTeX with psfig, embedded 4 ps figures.

Comment on Neutron-Proton Spin-Correlation Parameter A_{ZZ} at 68 Mev

We present two arguments indicating that the large value for the $\epsilon_1$ mixing parameter at 50 MeV, which the Basel group extracted from their recent $A_{zz}$ measurement, may be incorrect. First, there are nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials which predict the $\epsilon_1$ at 50 MeV substantially below the Basel value and reproduce the Basel $A_{zz}$ data accurately. Second, the large value for $\epsilon_1$ at 50 MeV proposed by the Basel group can only be explained by a model for the NN interaction which is very unrealistic (no $\rho$-meson and essentially a point-like $\pi NN$ vertex) and overpredicts the $\epsilon_1$ in the energy range where it is well determined (150--500 MeV) by a factor of two.Comment: 6 pages text (LaTex) and 2 figures (paper, will be faxed upon request), UI-NTH-930

Isospin Impurity of the 4.57-MeV State in ^6Li

The T=1 isospin mixing in the 4.57-MeV (T=0) state in ^6Li is investigated via the α+d→^6Li*→α+d* reaction and found to be less than 1%
