Faddeev calculation of a quasi-bound state
We report on the first genuinely three-body
coupled-channel Faddeev calculation in search for quasi-bound states in the
system. The main absorptivity in the subsystem is accounted
for by fitting to data near threshold. Our calculation yields one such
quasi-bound state, with , , bound in the range MeV, with a width of MeV. These results differ
substantially from previous estimates, and are at odds with the signal observed by the FINUDA collaboration.Comment: Minor editorial revision; version accepted for publication in Phys.

STABILITY OF DNA IN PURKINJE CELL NUCLEI OF THE MOUSE : An Autoradiographic Study
Neurons of the mouse were labeled with [3H]thymidine during their prenatal period of proliferation. The 3H activity of the Purkinje cell nuclei was then studied autoradiographically 8, 25, 55, and 90 days after birth. The measured grain number per nucleus decreased by about 14% between the 8th and 25th postnatal days and then remained constant up to 90 days. There was no significant decrease of the 3H activity of the Purkinje cell nuclei after correction of the measured grain number per nucleus for increasing nuclear volume of the growing Purkinje cells and for the influence of [3H]β self-absorption in the material of the sections. Injection of a high dose of [3H]thymidine into young adult mice did not result in 3H labeling of either Purkinje or other neurons in other brain regions. The results agree with the concept of metabolic stability of nuclear DNA. "Metabolic" DNA could not be observed in these experiments
- nucleus relativistic mean field potentials consistent with kaonic atoms
atomic data are used to test several models of the nucleus
interaction. The t() optical potential, due to coupled channel
models incorporating the (1405) dynamics, fails to reproduce these
data. A standard relativistic mean field (RMF) potential, disregarding the
(1405) dynamics at low densities, also fails. The only successful
model is a hybrid of a theoretically motivated RMF approach in the nuclear
interior and a completely phenomenological density dependent potential, which
respects the low density theorem in the nuclear surface region. This best-fit
optical potential is found to be strongly attractive, with a depth of 180
\pm 20 MeV at the nuclear interior, in agreement with previous phenomenological
analyses.Comment: revised, Phys. Rev. C in pres
quasi-bound state and the interaction: coupled-channel Faddeev calculations of the system
Coupled-channel three-body calculations of an ,
quasi-bound state in the system were
performed and the dependence of the resulting three-body energy on the two-body
interaction was investigated. Earlier results of
binding energy MeV and width
MeV are confirmed [N.V. Shevchenko {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 98},
082301 (2007)]. It is shown that a suitably constructed energy-independent
complex potential gives a considerably shallower and narrower
three-body quasi-bound state than the full coupled-channel calculation.
Comparison with other calculations is made.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures, 4 tables; minor corrections, accepted for

Bernoulli potential in type-I and weak type-II supercoductors: II. Surface dipole
The Budd-Vannimenus theorem is modified to apply to superconductors in the
Meissner state. The obtained identity links the surface value of the
electrostatic potential to the density of free energy at the surface which
allows one to evaluate the electrostatic potential observed via the capacitive
pickup without the explicit solution of the charge profile.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur
Correlated pairs from the reaction
Correlated pairs emitted after the absorption of negative kaons
at rest in light nuclei and are
studied. -hyperons and deuterons are found to be preferentially
emitted in opposite directions. The invariant mass spectrum of
shows a bump whose mass is 32516 MeV/c. The bump mass (binding
energy), width and yield are reported. The appearance of a bump is discussed in
the realm of the [] clustering process in nuclei. The experiment was
performed with the FINUDA spectrometer at DANE (LNF).Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Lett.
Discontinuity of capacitance at the onset of surface superconductivity
The effect of the magnetic field on a capacitor with a superconducting
electrode is studied within the Ginzburg-Landau approach. It is shown that the
capacitance has a discontinuity at the onset of the surface superconductivity
which is expressed as a discontinuity in the penetration depth of
the electric field into metals. Estimates show that this discontinuity is
observable with recent bridges for both conventional and high-
superconductors of the type-II
Negative Kaons in Dense Baryonic Matter
Kaon polarization operator in dense baryonic matter of arbitrary isotopic
composition is calculated including s- and p-wave kaon-baryon interactions. The
regular part of the polarization operator is extracted from the realistic
kaon-nucleon interaction based on the chiral and 1/N_c expansion. Contributions
of the Lambda(1116), Sigma(1195), Sigma*(1385) resonances are taken explicitly
into account in the pole and regular terms with inclusion of mean-field
potentials. The baryon-baryon correlations are incorporated and fluctuation
contributions are estimated. Results are applied for K- in neutron star matter.
Within our model a second-order phase transition to the s-wave K- condensate
state occurs at rho_c \gsim 4 \rho_0 once the baryon-baryon correlations are
included. We show that the second-order phase transition to the p-wave
condensate state may occur at densities in
dependence on the parameter choice. We demonstrate that a first-order phase
transition to a proton-enriched (approximately isospin-symmetric) nucleon
matter with a p-wave K- condensate can occur at smaller densities, \rho\lsim 2
\rho_0. The transition is accompanied by the suppression of hyperon
concentrations.Comment: 41 pages, 24 figures, revtex4 styl
Multiplicity dependence of jet-like two-particle correlations in p-Pb collisions at = 5.02 TeV
Two-particle angular correlations between unidentified charged trigger and
associated particles are measured by the ALICE detector in p-Pb collisions at a
nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The transverse-momentum
range 0.7 5.0 GeV/ is examined,
to include correlations induced by jets originating from low
momen\-tum-transfer scatterings (minijets). The correlations expressed as
associated yield per trigger particle are obtained in the pseudorapidity range
. The near-side long-range pseudorapidity correlations observed in
high-multiplicity p-Pb collisions are subtracted from both near-side
short-range and away-side correlations in order to remove the non-jet-like
components. The yields in the jet-like peaks are found to be invariant with
event multiplicity with the exception of events with low multiplicity. This
invariance is consistent with the particles being produced via the incoherent
fragmentation of multiple parton--parton scatterings, while the yield related
to the previously observed ridge structures is not jet-related. The number of
uncorrelated sources of particle production is found to increase linearly with
multiplicity, suggesting no saturation of the number of multi-parton
interactions even in the highest multiplicity p-Pb collisions. Further, the
number scales in the intermediate multiplicity region with the number of binary
nucleon-nucleon collisions estimated with a Glauber Monte-Carlo simulation.Comment: 23 pages, 6 captioned figures, 1 table, authors from page 17,
