Physical Nucleon Properties from Lattice QCD
We demonstrate that the extremely accurate lattice QCD data for the mass of
the nucleon recently obtained by CP-PACS, combined with modern chiral
extrapolation techniques, leads to a value for the mass of the physical nucleon
which has a systematic error of less than one percent.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Strange nucleon form factors in the perturbative chiral quark model
We apply the perturbative chiral quark model at one loop to calculate the
strange form factors of the nucleon. A detailed numerical analysis of the
strange magnetic moments and radii of the nucleon, and also the momentum
dependence of the form factors is presented.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure
Drop Traffic in Microfluidic Ladder Networks with Fore-Aft Structural Asymmetry
We investigate the dynamics of pairs of drops in microfluidic ladder networks
with slanted bypasses, which break the fore-aft structural symmetry. Our
analytical results indicate that unlike symmetric ladder networks, structural
asymmetry introduced by a single slanted bypass can be used to modulate the
relative drop spacing, enabling them to contract, synchronize, expand, or even
flip at the ladder exit. Our experiments confirm all these behaviors predicted
by theory. Numerical analysis further shows that while ladder networks
containing several identical bypasses are limited to nearly linear
transformation of input delay between drops, mixed combination of bypasses can
cause significant non-linear transformation enabling coding and decoding of
input delays.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Unified approach to photo and electro-production of mesons with arbitrary spins
A new approach to identify the independent amplitudes along with their
partial wave multipole expansions, for photo and electro-production is
suggested,which is generally applicable to mesons with arbitrary spin-parity.
These amplitudes facilitate direct identification of different resonance
contributions.Comment: 11 page
Axial Vector Coupling Constant in Chiral Colour Dielectric Model
The axial vector coupling constants of the decay processes of neutron
and hyperon are calculated in SU(3) chiral colour dielectric model (CCDM).
Using these axial coupling constants of neutron and hyperon, in CCDM we
calculate the integrals of the spin dependent structure functions for proton
and neutron. Our result is similar to the results obtained by MIT bag and
Cloudy bag models.Comment: 9 pages, Latex file, no figure, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Octet magnetic moments and the Coleman-Glashow sum rule violation in the chiral quark model
Baryon octet magnetic moments when calculated within the chiral quark model,
incorporating the orbital angular momentum as well as the quark sea
contribution through the Cheng-Li mechanism, not only show improvement over the
non relativistic quark model results but also gives a non zero value for the
right hand side of Coleman-Glashow sum rule. When effects due to spin-spin
forces between constituent quarks as well as `mass adjustments' due to
confinement are added, it leads to an excellent fit for the case of p,
\Sigma^+, \Xi^o and violation of Coleman-Glashow sum rule, whereas in almost
all the other cases the results are within 5% of the data.Comment: 5 RevTeX pages, accepted for publication in PRD(Rapid Communication
Baryon masses from lattice QCD: Beyond the perturbative chiral regime
Consideration of the analytic properties of pion-induced baryon self-energies leads to new functional forms for the extrapolation of light baryon masses. These functional forms reproduce the leading non-analytic behavior of chiral perturbation theory, the correct non-analytic behavior at the threshold and the appropriate heavy-quark limit. They involve only three unknown parameters, which may be obtained by fitting to lattice data. Recent dynamical fermion results from CP-PACS and UKQCD are extrapolated using these new functional forms. We also use these functions to probe the limit of applicability of chiral perturbation theory to the extrapolation of lattice QCD results.Derek B. Leinweber, Anthony W.

Baryon magnetic moments in the QCD string approach
Magnetic moments of baryons composed of light and strange quarks are computed
for the first time through the only parameter of the model -- string tension
. Resulting theoretical values differ from the experimental ones
typically by about
10%.Comment: LaTeX, 13 pages; misprints are correcte
A Gauge Invariant Unitary Theory for Pion Photoproduction
A covariant, unitary and gauge invariant theory for pion photoproduction on a
single nucleon is presented. To achieve gauge invariance at the operator level
one needs to include both the and thresholds. The final
amplitude can be written in terms of a distorted wave in the final
channel provided one includes additional diagrams to the standard Born term in
which the photon is coupled to the final state pion and nucleon. These
additional diagrams are required in order to satisfy gauge invariance.Comment: 4 pages, LaTeX, 1 figure as a separate uuencoded compressed tar fil
Proportionate vs disproportionate distribution of wealth of two individuals in a tempered Paretian ensemble
We study the distribution P(\omega) of the random variable \omega = x_1/(x_1
+ x_2), where x_1 and x_2 are the wealths of two individuals selected at random
from the same tempered Paretian ensemble characterized by the distribution
\Psi(x) \sim \phi(x)/x^{1 + \alpha}, where \alpha > 0 is the Pareto index and
is the cut-off function. We consider two forms of \phi(x): a bounded
function \phi(x) = 1 for L \leq x \leq H, and zero otherwise, and a smooth
exponential function \phi(x) = \exp(-L/x - x/H). In both cases \Psi(x) has
moments of arbitrary order.
We show that, for \alpha > 1, P(\omega) always has a unimodal form and is
peaked at \omega = 1/2, so that most probably x_1 \approx x_2. For 0 < \alpha <
1 we observe a more complicated behavior which depends on the value of \delta =
L/H. In particular, for \delta < \delta_c - a certain threshold value -
P(\omega) has a three-modal (for a bounded \phi(x)) and a bimodal M-shape (for
an exponential \phi(x)) form which signifies that in such ensembles the wealths
x_1 and x_2 are disproportionately different.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, to appear in Physica
