The Ay Problem for p-3He Elastic Scattering
We present evidence that numerically accurate quantum calculations employing
modern internucleon forces do not reproduce the proton analyzing power, A_y,
for p-3He elastic scattering at low energies. These calculations underpredict
new measured analyzing powers by approximately 30% at E_{c.m.} = 1.20 MeV and
by 40% at E_{c.m.} = 1.69 MeV, an effect analogous to a well-known problem in
p-d and n-d scattering. The calculations are performed using the complex Kohn
variational principle and the (correlated) Hyperspherical Harmonics technique
with full treatment of the Coulomb force. The inclusion of the three-nucleon
interaction does not improve the agreement with the experimental data.Comment: Latex file, 4 pages, 2 figures, to be published on Phys. Rev. Let
A small parameter approach for few-body problems
A procedure to solve few-body problems is developed which is based on an
expansion over a small parameter. The parameter is the ratio of potential
energy to kinetic energy for states having not small hyperspherical quantum
numbers, K>K_0. Dynamic equations are reduced perturbatively to equations in
the finite-dimension subspace with K\le K_0. Contributions from states with
K>K_0 are taken into account in a closed form, i.e. without an expansion over
basis functions. Estimates on efficiency of the approach are presented.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figur
Variational Calculation on A=3 and 4 Nuclei with Non-Local Potentials
The application of the hyperspherical harmonic approach to the case of
non-local two-body potentials is described. Given the properties of the
hyperspherical harmonic functions, there are no difficulties in considering the
approach in both coordinate and momentum space. The binding energies and other
ground state properties of A=3 and 4 nuclei are calculated using the CD Bonn
2000 and N3LO two-body potentials. The results are shown to be in excellent
agreement with corresponding ones obtained by other accurate techniques.Comment: 12 pages, 6 tables, RevTex
Proton-He elastic scattering at low energies
We present new accurate measurements of the differential cross section
and the proton analyzing power for proton-He
elastic scattering at various energies. A supersonic gas jet target has been
employed to obtain these low energy cross section measurements. The
distributions have been measured at = 0.99, 1.59,
2.24, 3.11, and 4.02 MeV. Full angular distributions of have been
measured at = 1.60, 2.25, 3.13, and 4.05 MeV. This set of
high-precision data is compared to four-body variational calculations employing
realistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (3N) interactions. For the
unpolarized cross section the agreement between the theoretical calculation and
data is good when a potential is used. The comparison between the
calculated and measured proton analyzing powers reveals discrepancies of
approximately 50% at the maximum of each distribution. This is analogous to the
existing `` Puzzle'' known for the past 20 years in nucleon-deuteron
elastic scattering.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures, to be published in Physical Review C, corrected

Neutron-3H and Proton-3He Zero Energy Scattering
The Kohn variational principle and the (correlated) Hyperspherical Harmonics
technique are applied to study the n-3H and p-3He scattering at zero energy.
Predictions for the singlet and triplet scattering lengths are obtained for
non-relativistic nuclear Hamiltonians including two- and three-body potentials.
The calculated n-3H total cross section agrees well with the measured value,
while some small discrepancy is found for the coherent scattering length. For
the p-3He channel, the calculated scattering lengths are in reasonable
agreement with the values extrapolated from the measurements made above 1 MeV.Comment: 13 pages, REVTEX, 1 figur
proton-deuteron elastic scattering above the deuteron breakup
The complex Kohn variational principle and the (correlated) hyperspherical
harmonics method are applied to study the proton-deuteron elastic scattering at
energies above the deuteron breakup threshold. Results for the elastic cross
section and various elastic polarization observables have been obtained by
fully taking into account the long-range effect of the Coulomb interaction and
using a realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction model. Detailed comparison
between the theoretical predictions and the accurate and abundant
proton-deuteron experimental data can now be performed.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
Parity-Violating Electron-Deuteron Scattering
The longitudinal asymmetry due to exchange is calculated in
quasi-elastic electron-deuteron scattering at momentum transfers GeV relevant for the SAMPLE experiment. The deuteron and
scattering-state wave functions are obtained from solutions of a Schr\"odinger
equation with the Argonne potential. Electromagnetic and weak neutral
one- and two-nucleon currents are included in the calculation. The two-nucleon
currents of pion range are shown to be identical to those derived in Chiral
Perturbation Theory. The results indicate that two-body contributions to the
asymmetry are small ( 0.2%) around the quasi-elastic peak, but become
relatively more significant ( 3%) in the high-energy wing of the
quasi-elastic peak.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figure
Total 4He Photoabsorption Cross Section Revisited: Correlated HH versus Effective Interaction HH
Two conceptually different hyperspherical harmonics expansions are used for
the calculation of the total 4He photoabsorption cross section. Besides the
well known method of CHH the recently introduced effective interaction approach
for the hyperspherical formalism is applied. Semi-realistic NN potentials are
employed and final state interaction is fully taken into account via the
Lorentz integral transform method. The results show that the effective
interaction leads to a very good convergence, while the correlation method
exhibits a less rapid convergence in the giant dipole resonance region. The
rather strong discrepancy with the experimental photodisintegration cross
sections is confirmed by the present calculations.Comment: LaTeX, 7 pages, 3 ps figure
Longitudinal and Transverse Quasi-Elastic Response Functions of Light Nuclei
The He and He longitudinal and transverse response functions are
determined from an analysis of the world data on quasi-elastic inclusive
electron scattering. The corresponding Euclidean response functions are derived
and compared to those calculated with Green's function Monte Carlo methods,
using realistic interactions and currents. Large contributions associated with
two-body currents are found, particularly in the He transverse response, in
agreement with data. The contributions of two-body charge and current operators
in the He, He, and Li response functions are also studied via
sum-rule techniques. A semi-quantitative explanation for the observed
systematics in the excess of transverse quasi-elastic strength, as function of
mass number and momentum transfer, is provided. Finally, a number of model
studies with simplified interactions, currents, and wave functions is carried
out to elucidate the role played, in the full calculation, by tensor
interactions and correlations.Comment: 40 pages, 11 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Aspisoma lineatum (Gyllenhal) (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) Firefly: Description of the Immatures, Biological, and Ecological Aspects
(Gyllenhal) is a common firefly in the Southeastern region of Brazil. Adults and larvae were collected in the municipality of Campinas, state of So Paulo, Brazil, and the immature stages were described and reared in the laboratory. Four generations were reproduced in the laboratory, and a method for its rearing was established. The life cycle usually lasts 6 months, but under optimal laboratory conditions, it lasted from 2 to 4 months. Larvae were fed with and snails since the beginning of the larval stage. This species was found to be easily adapted to environments under anthropic influence, such as urban areas and farms.Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP-BIOTA) [06/5119-0, Proc.07/56202-0]Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESPBIOTA)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientfico e Tecnologico (CNPq)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient fico e Tecnologico (CNPq
