Effects of next-nearest-neighbor hopping on the electronic structure of cuprates
Photoemission spectra of underdoped and lightly-doped
BiPbSrCa{\it R}CuO ( Pr, Er)
(BSCCO) have been measured and compared with those of LaSrCuO
(LSCO). The lower-Hubbard band of the insulating BSCCO, like
CaCuOCl, shows a stronger dispersion than LaCuO from () to (). The flat band at () is found generally deeper in BSCCO. These observations
together with the Fermi-surface shapes and the chemical potential shifts
indicate that the next-nearest-neighbor hopping of the
single-band model is larger in BSCCO than in LSCO and that
rather than the super-exchange influences the pseudogap energy scale.Comment: 5 pages,4 figures, 1 tabl
Differential cross section and analyzing power of the p p -> pp pi0 reaction at a beam energy of 390 MeV
The differential cross section and analyzing power A(y) of the (p) over right arrowp -> pp pi(0) reaction have been measured at RCNP in coplanar geometry at a beam energy of 390 MeV and the dependence on both the pion emission angle and the relative momentum of the final protons has been extracted. The angular variation of A(y) for the large values of the relative momentum studied here shows that this is primarily an effect of the interference of pion s and p waves and this interference can also explain the momentum dependence. Within the framework of a very simple model, these results would suggest that the pion-production operator has a significant long-range component
Contribution of the nucleon-hyperon reaction channels to K production in proton-nucleus collisions
The cross sections for producing K mesons in nucleon-hyperon elementary
processes are estimated assuming one-pion exchange and using the experimentally
known pion-hyperon cross sections. The results are implemented in a transport
model which is applied to calculation of proton-nucleus collisions. In
significant difference to earlier estimates for heavy-ion collisions the
inclusion of the nucleon-hyperon cross section roughly doubles the K
production in near-threshold proton-nucleus collisions
