Possible dibaryons in the quark cluster model
In the framework of RGM, the binding energy of one channel
() and are studied in the
chiral SU(3) quark cluster model. It is shown that the binding energies of the
systems are a few tens of MeV. The behavior of the chiral field is also
investigated by comparing the results with those in the SU(2) and the extended
SU(2) chiral quark models. It is found that the symmetry property of the
system makes the contribution of the relative kinetic energy
operator between two clusters attractive. This is very beneficial for forming
the bound dibaryon. Meanwhile the chiral-quark field coupling also plays a very
important role on binding. The S-wave phase shifts and the corresponding
scattering lengths of the systems are also given.Comment: LeTex with 2 ps figure
The Dense Plasma Torus Around the Nucleus of an Active Galaxy NGC 1052
A subparsec-scale dense plasma torus around an active galactic nucleus (AGN)
is unveiled. We report on very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations
at 2.3, 8.4, and 15.4 GHz towards the active galaxy NGC 1052. The convex
spectra of the double-sided jets and the nucleus imply that synchrotron
emission is obscured through free--free absorption (FFA) by the foreground cold
dense plasma. A trichromatic image was produced to illustrate the distribution
of the FFA opacity. We found a central condensation of the plasma which covers
about 0.1 pc and 0.7 pc of the approaching and receding jets, respectively. A
simple explanation for the asymmetric distribution is the existence of a thick
plasma torus perpendicular to the jets. We also found an ambient FFA absorber,
whose density profile can be ascribed to a spherical distribution of the
isothermal King model. The coexistence of torus-like and spherical
distributions of the plasma suggests a transition from radial accretion to
rotational accretion around the nucleus.Comment: 10 pages, to appear in Publ. Astron. Soc. Japan, vol.53, No.2 (2001
H-Dihyperon in Quark Cluster Model
The H dihyperon (DH) is studied in the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark
model. It is shown that except the chiral field, the overall effect of
the other SU(3) chiral fields is destructive in forming a stable DH. The
resultant mass of DH in a three coupled channel calculation is ranged from 2225
to 2234 .Comment: 9 pages, emte
High Resolution VSOP Imaging of a Southern Blazar PKS 1921-293 at 1.6 GHz
We present a high resolution 1.6 GHz VSOP image of the southern blazar PKS
1921-293. The image shows a typical core-jet morphology, consistent with
ground-based VLBI images. However, the addition of data from the space antenna
has greatly improved the angular resolution (especially along the north-south
direction for this source), and thus allowed us to clearly identify the core.
Model fitting reveals an inner jet component ~1.5 mas north of the core. This
jet feature may be moving on a common curved path connecting the jet within a
few parsecs to the 10-parsec-scale jet. The compact core has a brightness
temperature of 2.6*10**12 K (in the rest frame of the quasar), an indication of
relativistic beaming. We analyzed the source in terms of three models,
involving the inverse Compton catastrophe, an inhomogeneous relativistic jet,
and the equipartition of energy between the radiating particles and the
magnetic field. Our analysis of this gamma-ray-quiet blazar shows no preference
to any particular one of these models.Comment: 7 pages including 2 figures and 1 table, PASJLaTeX, accepted for

-valley electron factor in bulk GaAs and AlAs
We study the Land\'e -factor of conduction electrons in the -valley of
bulk GaAs and AlAs by using a three-band model
together with the tight-binding model. We find that the -valley -factor
is highly anisotropic, and can be characterized by two components,
and . is close to the free electron Land\'e factor but
is strongly affected by the remote bands. The contribution from remote
bands on depends on how the remote bands are treated. However, when
the magnetic field is in the Voigt configuration, which is widely used in the
experiments, different models give almost identical -factor.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, To be published in J. App. Phys. 104, 200
