Formation spectra of light kaonic nuclei by in-flight () reactions with chiral unitary amplitude
We study theoretically the in-flight () reactions for the formation of
light kaonic nuclear systems to get deeper physical insights on the expected
spectra, and to investigate the experimental feasibility of the reaction at new
facilities like J-PARC. We show the expected spectra for the formation of the
, and -B systems which are accessible by the
() experiments. By considering the conversion part of the Green's
function, we can show the missing mass spectra of the () reactions
coincidence with the particle emissions due to absorption in processes. To calculate the cross sections, we use the so-called
approximation to evaluate the optical potential. As for the amplitude
, we adopt the chiral unitary amplitude of channel in vacuum for
simplicity, and we also check the medium effects by applying the chiral
amplitude at finite density. The effects of the p-wave optical potential of
(1385) channel and the contribution from mixing in
He() reaction are also evaluated numerically. To understand the
meanings of the spectrum shape, we also study the behavior of the poles of kaon
Green's function in nuclear matter. We conclude that He() and
He() reactions coincident with the emission due to
absorption may show the certain structure in the bound region
spectra indicating the existence of the unstable kaonic nuclear bound states.
As for the C() spectra with the emission, we may also
observe the structure in the bound region, however, we need to evaluate the
medium effects carefully for larger nuclei.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figure
Operational Semantics of Process Monitors
CSPe is a specification language for runtime monitors that can directly
express concurrency in a bottom-up manner that composes the system from
simpler, interacting components. It includes constructs to explicitly flag
failures to the monitor, which unlike deadlocks and livelocks in conventional
process algebras, propagate globally and aborts the whole system's execution.
Although CSPe has a trace semantics along with an implementation demonstrating
acceptable performance, it lacks an operational semantics. An operational
semantics is not only more accessible than trace semantics but also
indispensable for ensuring the correctness of the implementation. Furthermore,
a process algebra like CSPe admits multiple denotational semantics appropriate
for different purposes, and an operational semantics is the basis for
justifying such semantics' integrity and relevance. In this paper, we develop
an SOS-style operational semantics for CSPe, which properly accounts for
explicit failures and will serve as a basis for further study of its
properties, its optimization, and its use in runtime verification
Interfacial adsorption phenomena of the three-dimensional three-state Potts model
We study the interfacial adsorption phenomena of the three-state
ferromagnetic Potts model on the simple cubic lattice by the Monte Carlo
method. Finite-size scaling analyses of the net-adsorption yield the evidence
of the phase transition being of first-order and .Comment: 14 page
The high-lying Li levels at excitation energy around 21 MeV
The H+He cluster structure in Li was investigated by the
H(,H He)n kinematically complete experiment at the incident
energy = 67.2 MeV. We have observed two resonances at =
21.30 and 21.90 MeV which are consistent with the He(H, )Li
analysis in the Ajzenberg-Selove compilation. Our data are compared with the
previous experimental data and the RGM and CSRGM calculations.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures. Accepted for publication in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Numerical Latent Heat Observation of the q=5 Potts Model
Site energy of the five-state ferromagnetic Potts model is numerically
calculated at the first-order transition temperature using corner transfer
matrix renormalization group (CTMRG) method. The calculated energy of the
disordered phase is clearly different from that of the ordered phase
. The obtained latent heat is 0.027, which
quantitatively agrees with the exact solution.Comment: 2 pages, Latex(JPSJ style files are included), 2 ps figures,

The envelope of IRC+10216 reflecting the galactic light: UBV surface brightness photometry and interpretation
We present and analyse new optical images of the dust envelope surrounding
the high mass-loss carbon star IRC+10216. This envelope is seen due to external
illumination by galactic light. Intensity profiles and colors of the nebula
were obtained in the UBV bandpasses. The data are compared with the results of
a radiative transfer model calculating multiple scattering of interstellar
field photons by dust grains with a single radius. The data show that the
observed radial shape of the nebula, especially its half maximum radius, does
not depend on wavelength (within experimental errors), suggesting that grains
scatter in the grey regime, etc, etc (this abstract has been shortened)Comment: accepted by A
Constraints on the SU(3) Electroweak Model
We consider a recent proposal by Dimopoulos and Kaplan to embed the
electroweak SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y into a larger group SU(3)_W X SU(2) X U(1) at a
scale above a TeV. This idea is motivated by the prediction for the weak mixing
angle sin^2 theta_W = 1/4, which naturally appears in these models so long as
the gauge couplings of the high energy SU(2) and U(1) groups are moderately
large. The extended gauge dynamics results in new effective operators that
contribute to four-fermion interactions and Z pole observables. We calculate
the corrections to these electroweak precision observables and carry out a
global fit of the new physics to the data. For SU(2) and U(1) gauge couplings
larger than 1, we find that the 95% C.L. lower bound on the matching (heavy
gauge boson mass) scale is 11 TeV. We comment on the fine-tuning of the high
energy gauge couplings needed to allow matching scales above our bounds. The
remnants of SU(3)_W breaking include multi-TeV SU(2)_L doublets with electric
charge (+-2,+-1). The lightest charged gauge boson is stable, leading to
cosmological difficulties.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, 4 figures embedded, uses JHEP.cl
Boundary and Bulk Phase Transitions in the Two Dimensional Q > 4 State Potts Model
The surface and bulk properties of the two-dimensional Q > 4 state Potts
model in the vicinity of the first order bulk transition point have been
studied by exact calculations and by density matrix renormalization group
techniques. For the surface transition the complete analytical solution of the
problem is presented in the limit, including the critical and
tricritical exponents, magnetization profiles and scaling functions. According
to the accurate numerical results the universality class of the surface
transition is independent of the value of Q > 4. For the bulk transition we
have numerically calculated the latent heat and the magnetization discontinuity
and we have shown that the correlation lengths in the ordered and in the
disordered phases are identical at the transition point.Comment: 11 pages, RevTeX, 6 PostScript figures included. Manuscript

ESO Imaging Survey. The Stellar Catalogue in the Chandra Deep Field South
(abridged) Stellar catalogues in five passbands (UBVRI) over an area of
approximately 0.3 deg^2, comprising about 1200 objects, and in seven passbands
(UBVRIJK) over approximately 0.1 deg^2, comprising about 400 objects, in the
direction of the Chandra Deep Field South are presented.
The 90% completeness level of the number counts is reached at approximately U
= 23.8, B = 24.0, V = 23.5, R = 23.0, I = 21.0, J = 20.5, K = 19.0.
A scheme is presented to select point sources from these catalogues, by
combining the SExtractor parameter CLASS_STAR from all available passbands.
Probable QSOs and unresolved galaxies are identified by using the previously
developed \chi^2-technique (Hatziminaoglou et al 2002), that fits the overall
spectral energy distributions to template spectra and determines the best
fitting template.
The observed number counts, colour-magnitude diagrams, colour-colour diagrams
and colour distributions are presented and, to judge the quality of the data,
compared to simulations based on the predictions of a Galactic Model convolved
with the estimated completeness functions and the error model used to describe
the photometric errors of the data.
The resulting stellar catalogues and the objects identified as likely QSOs
and unresolved galaxies with coordinates, observed magnitudes with errors and
assigned spectral types by the -technique are presented and are
publicly available.Comment: Paper as it will appear in print. Complete figures and tables can be

Universal Short-Time Dynamics in the Kosterlitz-Thouless Phase
We study the short-time dynamics of systems that develop ``quasi long-range
order'' after a quench to the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase. With the working
hypothesis that the ``universal short-time behavior'', previously found in
Ising-like systems, also occurs in the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase, we explore
the scaling behavior of thermodynamic variables during the relaxational process
following the quench. As a concrete example, we investigate the two-dimensional
-state clock model by Monte Carlo simulation. The exponents governing the
magnetization, the second moment, and the autocorrelation function are
calculated. From them, by means of scaling relations, estimates for the
equilibrium exponents and are derived. In particular, our estimates
for the temperature-dependent anomalous dimension that governs the
static correlation function are consistent with existing analytical and
numerical results and, thus, confirm our working hypothesis.Comment: 16 pages, 9 postscript figures, REVTEX 3.0, submitted to Phys. Rev.
