Signals for strange quark contributions to the neutrino (antineutrino) scattering in quasi-elastic region
Strange quark contributions to the neutrino (antineutrino) scattering are
investigated on the elastic neutrino-nucleon scattering and the
neutrino-nucleus scattering for 12C target in the quasi-elastic region on the
incident energy of 500 MeV, within the framework of a relativistic single
particle model. For the neutrino-nucleus scattering, the effects of final state
interaction for the knocked-out nucleon are included by a relativistic optical
potential. In the cross sections we found some cancellations of the strange
quark contributions between the knocked-out protons and neutrons. Consequently,
the asymmetries between the incident neutrino and antineutrino which is the
ratio of neutral current to charged current, and the difference between the
asymmetries are shown to be able to yield more feasible quantities for the
strangeness effects. In order to explicitly display importance of the
cancellations, results of the exclusive reaction 16O(\nu, \nu' p) are
additionally presented for detecting the strangeness effects.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures, submitted to Phys. Lett.
Order from disorder in lattice QCD at high density
We investigate the properties of the ground state of strong coupling lattice
QCD at finite density. Our starting point is the effective Hamiltonian for
color singlet objects, which looks at lowest order as an antiferromagnet, and
describes meson physics with a fixed baryon number background. We concentrate
on uniform baryon number backgrounds (with the same baryon number on all
sites), for which the ground state was extracted in an earlier work, and
calculate the dispersion relations of the excitations. Two types of Goldstone
boson emerge. The first, antiferromagnetic spin waves, obey a linear dispersion
relation. The others, ferromagnetic magnons, have energies that are quadratic
in their momentum. These energies emerge only when fluctuations around the
large-N_c ground state are taken into account, along the lines of ``order from
disorder'' in frustrated magnetic systems. Unlike other spectrum calculations
in order from disorder, we employ the Euclidean path integral. For comparison,
we also present a Hamiltonian calculation using a generalized
Holstein-Primakoff transformation. The latter can only be constructed for a
subset of the cases we consider.Comment: 24 pages, 6 figures, 1 tabl

Exchange Current Corrections to Neutrino--Nucleus Scattering
Relativistic exchange current corrections to neutrino--nucleus cross sections
are presented assuming non--vanishing strange quark form factors for the
constituent nucleons. For charged current processes the exchange current
corrections can lower the impulse approximation results by 10\% while these
corrections are found to be sensitive to both the nuclear density and the
strange quark axial form factor of the nucleon for neutral current processes.
Implications on the LSND experiment to determine this form factor are
discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, revtex 3.0, full postscript version of the file

A web of stakeholders and strategies: A case of broadband diffusion in South Korea
When a new technology is launched, its diffusion becomes an issue of importance. There are various stakeholders that influence diffusion. The question that remains to be determined is their identification and roles. This paper outlines how the strategies pursued by a government acting as the key stakeholder affected the diffusion of a new technology. The analysis is based on a theoretical framework derived from innovation diffusion and stakeholder theories. The empirical evidence comes from a study of broadband development in South Korea. A web of stakeholders and strategies is drawn in order to identify the major stakeholders involved and highlight their relations. The case of South Korea offers implications for other countries that are pursuing broadband diffusion strategies
The Decuplet Revisited in PT
The paper deals with two issues. First, we explore the quantitiative
importance of higher multiplets for properties of the decuplet in
chiral perturbation theory. In particular, it is found that the lowest order
one--loop contributions from the Roper octet to the decuplet masses and
magnetic moments are substantial. The relevance of these results to the chiral
expansion in general is discussed. The exact values of the magnetic moments
depend upon delicate cancellations involving ill--determined coupling
constants. Second, we present new relations between the magnetic moments of the
decuplet that are independent of all couplings. They are exact at the
order of the chiral expansion used in this paper.Comment: 7 pages of double column revtex, no figure
The nature of the Lambda(1405)
We present here some results supporting the nature of the
resonance as dynamically generated from the meson baryon interaction in coupled
channels and resulting from the superposition of two close-by poles. We find
support for this picture in the reaction,
which shows a different shape than the one obtained from the reaction. We also call the attention to the with in the region, which shows a narrow
peak in the calculations around 1420 MeV. We also report on recent calculations
of the radiative decay of the two states and on reactions to
obtain information on these decay modes. Finally, we present results for the
reaction recently measured at ANKE/COSY and compare
them with theoretical results.Comment: Talk given at the NSTAR2007 Workshop, Bonn September 200
Electrode Polarization Effects in Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy
In the present work, we provide broadband dielectric spectra showing strong
electrode polarization effects for various materials, belonging to very
different material classes. This includes both ionic and electronic conductors
as, e.g., salt solutions, ionic liquids, human blood, and
colossal-dielectric-constant materials. These data are intended to provide a
broad data base enabling a critical test of the validity of phenomenological
and microscopic models for electrode polarization. In the present work, the
results are analyzed using a simple phenomenological equivalent-circuit
description, involving a distributed parallel RC circuit element for the
modeling of the weakly conducting regions close to the electrodes. Excellent
fits of the experimental data are achieved in this way, demonstrating the
universal applicability of this approach. In the investigated ionically
conducting materials, we find the universal appearance of a second dispersion
region due to electrode polarization, which is only revealed if measuring down
to sufficiently low frequencies. This indicates the presence of a second
charge-transport process in ionic conductors with blocking electrodes.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, experimental data are provided in electronic form

Inclusive Neutrino Scattering in C-12: Implications for nu_mu to nu_e Oscillations
We study inclusive nu_e and nu_mu cross sections in C-12 in a theory that
takes into account significant nuclear renormalization of strengths. Our
calculation is in excellent agreement with the measured inclusive muon capture
rate and the flux-averaged nu_e cross section, but overestimates the
flux-averaged nu_mu inclusive cross section. These reactions are of crucial
relevance to the issue of possible nu_mu to nu_e oscillations.We also calculate
the flux-averaged cross sections in C-13 and Al-27, which are found to be
consistent with the available experimental result.Comment: 11 pages, Latex. Submitted to Phys. Rev.
