    Relativistic effect of spin and pseudospin symmetries

    Full text link
    Dirac Hamiltonian is scaled in the atomic units =m=1\hbar =m=1, which allows us to take the non-relativistic limit by setting the Compton wavelength 0% \lambda \rightarrow 0 . The evolutions of the spin and pseudospin symmetries towards the non-relativistic limit are investigated by solving the Dirac equation with the parameter λ\lambda. With λ\lambda transformation from the original Compton wavelength to 0, the spin splittings decrease monotonously in all spin doublets, and the pseudospin splittings increase in several pseudospin doublets, no change, or even reduce in several other pseudospin doublets. The various energy splitting behaviors of both the spin and pseudospin doublets with λ\lambda are well explained by the perturbation calculations of Dirac Hamiltonian in the present units. It indicates that the origin of spin symmetry is entirely due to the relativistic effect, while the origin of pseudospin symmetry cannot be uniquely attributed to the relativistic effect.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures, accepted by PR

    We present a classification of the unitarity quadrangles in the four-neutrino mixing scheme. We find that there are totally thirty-six distinct topologies among twelve different unitarity quadrangles. Concise relations are established between the areas of those unitarity quadrangles and the rephasing invariants of CP and TT violation.Comment: RevTex 10 pages. Minor changes made.
