    Full text link
    The process e+eπ0ρe^+e^- \to \pi^0\rho is described in the framework of the expanded NJL model in the energy region from 0.9 GeV to 1.5 GeV. The contribution of intermediate state with vector mesons ω(782),ϕ(1020)\omega(782), \,\,\phi(1020), and ω(1420)\omega'(1420), where ω\omega' is the first radial excitation of ω\omega - meson was taken into account. Results obtained are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, 1 tabl

    Synchronization in the BCS Pairing Dynamics as a Critical Phenomenon

    Full text link
    Fermi gas with time-dependent pairing interaction hosts several different dynamical states. Coupling between the collective BCS pairing mode and individual Cooper pair states can make the latter either synchronize or dephase. We describe transition from phase-locked undamped oscillations to Landau-damped dephased oscillations in the collisionless, dissipationless regime as a function of coupling strength. In the dephased regime, we find a second transition at which the long-time asymptotic pairing amplitude vanishes. Using a combination of numerical and analytical methods we establish a continuous (type II) character of both transitions

    rho(omega)-> pi^0 pi^0 gamma, rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma decays in the local quark Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model

    Full text link
    The branching ratios and photon spectra of the rare processes rho(omega)-> pi^0 pi^0 gamma, rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma are calculated in the framework of the standard local quark Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Three types of diagrams are considered: the quark box and the pole diagrams with scalar (sigma,a_0(980)) and vector (rho,omega) mesons. The obtained estimations for the widths of the processes rho(omega)-> pi^0 pi^0 gamma are in satisfactory agreement with existing experimental data. Predictions are made for the widths of the processes rho(omega) -> eta pi^0 gamma.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

    Two-photon decays of vector mesons and dilepton decays of scalar mesons in dense matter

    Full text link
    Two-photon decays of vector mesons and dilepton decays of scalar mesons which are forbidden in vacuum and can occur in dense baryonic matter due to the explicit violation of Lorentz symmetry are described within a quark model of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type. The temperature and chemical potential dependence of these processes is investigated. It is found that their contribution to the production of photons and leptons in heavy-ion collisions is enhanced near the conditions corresponding to the restoration of chiral symmetry. Moreover, in the case of the a_0 meson and especially the \rho-meson, a resonant behaviour (an additional amplification) is observed due to the degeneration of \rho and a_0 masses when a hot hadron matter is approaching a chirally symmetric phase.Comment: 20 figures, IOP styl

    Relativistic particle dynamics in D=2+1

    Full text link
    We propose a SUSY variant of the action for a massless spinning particles via the inclusion of twistor variables. The action is constructed to be invariant under SUSY transformations and τ\tau-reparametrizations even when an interaction field is including. The constraint analysis is achieved and the equations of motion are derived. The commutation relations obtained for the commuting spinor variables λ\lambda show that the particle states have fractional statistics and spin. At once we introduce a possible massive term for the non-interacting model.Comment: 11 page

    Particle Spectra and Mass Composition in the Ultra-High Energy Region in the Framework of the Galactic Origin of Cosmic Rays

    Full text link
    The possibility for a self-consistent description of all the basic features of the observed cosmic ray spectra and primary composition variations in the energy range of 1015÷102010^{15}\div 10^{20} eV within the Galactic origin scenario is examined. We assume the existence of Galactic sources that accelerate particles up to 31018Z\sim 3\cdot 10^{18}Z eV and take into account a highly inhomogeneous (fractal-like) distribution of matter and magnetic fields in the Galaxy that leads to extremely large free paths of particles ("L\'{e}vy flights"), along with an overwhelming contribution to the cosmic ray fluxes observed above 1018\sim 10^{18} eV from particles reaching the Solar System without scattering. Our scenario was refined on the basis of recent experimental results on primary mass composition. Model predictions, which could be verified with the improved high-precision measurements in the nearest future are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, 19th International Symposium on Very High Energy Cosmic Ray Interactions (22-27 August 2016).

    Anomalous transport in normal-superconducting and ferromagnetic-superconducting nanostructures

    Full text link
    We have calculated the temperature dependence of the conductance variation (δS(T)\delta S(T)) of mesoscopic superconductor normal metal(S/N) structures, in the diffusive regime, analysing both weak and strong proximity effects. We show that in the case of a weak proximity effect there are two peaks in the dependence of δS(T)\delta S(T) on temperature. One of them (known from previous studies) corresponds to a temperature T1T_1 of order of the Thouless energy (ϵTh\epsilon_{Th}), and another, newly predicted maximum, occurs at a temperature T2T_2 where the energy gap in the superconductor Δ(T2)\Delta(T_2) is of order ϵTh\epsilon_{Th}. In the limit Lϕ<LL_{\phi}<L the temperature T1T_1 is determined by D/Lϕ2D \hbar /L^2_{\phi} (LϕL_{\phi} is the phase breaking length), and not ϵTh\epsilon_{Th}. We have also calculated the voltage dependence δS(V) \delta S(V) for a S/F structure (F is a ferromagnet) and predict non-monotonic behaviour at voltages of order the Zeeman splitting.Comment: 6 figures.
