Fermi Surface Reconstruction without Breakdown of Kondo Screening at Quantum Critical Point
Motivated by recent Hall-effect experiment in YbRhSi, we study ground
state properties of a Kondo lattice model in a two-dimensional square lattice
using variational Monte Carlo method. We show that there are two types of phase
transition, antiferromagnetic transition and topological one (Fermi surface
reconstruction). In a wide region of parameters, these two transitions occur
simultaneously without the breakdown of Kondo screening, accompanied by a
discontinuous change of the Hall coefficient. This result is consistent with
the experiment and gives a novel theoretical picture for the quantum critical
point in heavy fermion systems.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letter
Description of Four-Body Breakup Reaction with the Method of Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channels
We present a method for smoothing discrete breakup -matrix elements
calculated by the method of continuum-discretized coupled-channels (CDCC). This
smoothing method makes it possible to apply CDCC to four-body breakup
reactions. The reliability of the smoothing method is confirmed for two cases,
Ni(, ) at 80 MeV and the transition of He. We apply
CDCC with the smoothing method to He breakup reaction at 22.5 MeV.
Multi-step breakup processes are found to be important.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, published in Progress of Theoretical Physic
Ultra high energy events in ECHOS series and primary energy spectrum
The compilation of ultra high energy jets suggests at present the existence of a bump in primary energy spectrum (with the standard concept of high energy collisions). The pseudo-rapidity distribution exhibits some typical anomalies, more than the (P sub t) behavior, which are (may be) the fingerprints of quark gluon plasma transition. The next results of Emulsion Chamber on Supersonic (ECHOS) will be in both cases determinant to confirm those tendancies, as well as an important effort of the cosmic ray community to develop in that sense a flying emulsion chamber experiment
Coulomb breakup effects on the elastic cross section of He+Bi scattering near Coulomb barrier energies
We accurately analyze the He+Bi scattering at 19 and 22.5 MeV
near the Coulomb barrier energy, using the continuum-discretized
coupled-channels method (CDCC) based on the ++He+Bi four-body
model.
The three-body breakup continuum of He is discretized by diagonalizing
the internal Hamiltonian of He in a space spanned by the Gaussian basis
functions.
The calculated elastic and total reaction cross sections are in good
agreement with the experimental data, while the CDCC calculation based on the
di-neutron model of He, i.e., the +He+Bi three-body
model, does not reproduce the data.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, uses REVTeX 4, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Continuum-discretized coupled-channels method for four-body breakup reactions
Development of the method of CDCC (Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channels)
from the level of three-body CDCC to that of four-body CDCC is reviewed.
Introduction of the pseudo-state method based on the Gaussian expansion method
for discretizing the continuum states of two-body and three-body projectiles
plays an essential role in the development. Furthermore, introduction of the
complex-range Gaussian basis functions is important to improve the CDCC for
nuclear breakup so as to accomplish that for Coulomb and nuclear breakup. A
successful application of the four-body CDCC to He+C scattering at
18 and 229.8 MeV is reported.Comment: Latex file of revtex4 class, 14 pages, 10 figures. A talk given at
