    Ground-state fidelity of Luttinger liquids: A wave functional approach

    Full text link
    We use a wave functional approach to calculate the fidelity of ground states in the Luttinger liquid universality class of one-dimensional gapless quantum many-body systems. The ground-state wave functionals are discussed using both the Schrodinger (functional differential equation) formulation and a path integral formulation. The fidelity between Luttinger liquids with Luttinger parameters K and K' is found to decay exponentially with system size, and to obey the symmetry F(K,K')=F(1/K,1/K') as a consequence of a duality in the bosonization description of Luttinger liquids.Comment: 13 pages, IOP single-column format. Sec. 3 expanded with discussion of short-distance cut-off. Some typos corrected. Ref. 44 in v2 is now footnote 2 (moved by copy editor). Published versio

    Search for Light Weakly-Interacting-Massive-Particle Dark Matter by Annual Modulation Analysis with a Point-Contact Germanium Detector at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory

    Full text link
    We present results on light weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) searches with annual modulation (AM) analysis on data from a 1-kg mass pp-type point-contact germanium detector of the CDEX-1B experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. Datasets with a total live time of 3.2 yr within a 4.2 yr span are analyzed with analysis threshold of 250 eVee. Limits on WIMP-nucleus (χ{\chi}-NN) spin-independent cross sections as function of WIMP mass (mχm_{\chi}) at 90\% confidence level (C.L.) are derived using the dark matter halo model. Within the context of the standard halo model, the 90\% C.L. allowed regions implied by the DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT AM-based analysis are excluded at >>99.99\% and 98\% C.L., respectively. These results correspond to the best sensitivity at mχm_{\chi}<<6 GeV/c2~{\rm GeV}/c^2 among WIMP AM measurements to date.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Limits on Light Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from the First 102.8 kg ×{\times} day Data of the CDEX-10 Experiment

    Full text link
    We report the first results of a light weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) search from the CDEX-10 experiment with a 10 kg germanium detector array immersed in liquid nitrogen at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory with a physics data size of 102.8 kg day. At an analysis threshold of 160 eVee, improved limits of 8 ×10−42\times 10^{-42} and 3 ×10−36\times 10^{-36} cm2^{2} at a 90\% confidence level on spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections, respectively, at a WIMP mass (mχm_{\chi}) of 5 GeV/c2{c}^2 are achieved. The lower reach of mχm_{\chi} is extended to 2 GeV/c2{c}^2.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Constraints on Spin-Independent Nucleus Scattering with sub-GeV Weakly Interacting Massive Particle Dark Matter from the CDEX-1B Experiment at the China Jin-Ping Laboratory

    Full text link
    We report results on the searches of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with sub-GeV masses (mχm_{\chi}) via WIMP-nucleus spin-independent scattering with Migdal effect incorporated. Analysis on time-integrated (TI) and annual modulation (AM) effects on CDEX-1B data are performed, with 737.1 kg⋅\cdotday exposure and 160 eVee threshold for TI analysis, and 1107.5 kg⋅\cdotday exposure and 250 eVee threshold for AM analysis. The sensitive windows in mχm_{\chi} are expanded by an order of magnitude to lower DM masses with Migdal effect incorporated. New limits on σχNSI\sigma_{\chi N}^{\rm SI} at 90\% confidence level are derived as 2×2\times10−32∼7×^{-32}\sim7\times10−35^{-35} cm2\rm cm^2 for TI analysis at mχ∼m_{\chi}\sim 50−-180 MeV/c2c^2, and 3×3\times10−32∼9×^{-32}\sim9\times10−38^{-38} cm2\rm cm^2 for AM analysis at mχ∼m_{\chi}\sim75 MeV/c2−c^2-3.0 GeV/c2c^2.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Multistage Random Growing Small-World Networks with Power-law degree Distribution

    Full text link
    In this paper, a simply rule that generates scale-free networks with very large clustering coefficient and very small average distance is presented. These networks are called {\bf Multistage Random Growing Networks}(MRGN) as the adding process of a new node to the network is composed of two stages. The analytic results of power-law exponent γ=3\gamma=3 and clustering coefficient C=0.81C=0.81 are obtained, which agree with the simulation results approximately. In addition, the average distance of the networks increases logarithmical with the number of the network vertices is proved analytically. Since many real-life networks are both scale-free and small-world networks, MRGN may perform well in mimicking reality.Comment: 3 figures, 4 page
