Analyzing the anomalous dipole moment type couplings of heavy quarks with FCNC interactions at the CLIC
In this study we examine both anomalous magnetic and dipole moment type
couplings of a heavy quark via its single production with subsequent dominant
Standard Model decay modes at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). The signal
and background cross sections are analyzed for heavy quark masses 600 and 700
GeV. We make the analysis to delimitate these couplings as well as to find the
attainable integrated luminosities or 3 observation limit.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
Non-locality in the nucleon-nucleon interaction and nuclear matter saturation
We study the possible relationship between the saturation properties of
nuclear matter and the inclusion of non-locality in the nucleon-nucleon
interaction. To this purpose we compute the saturation curve of nuclear matter
within the Bethe-Brueckner-Goldstone theory using a recently proposed realistic
non-local potential, and compare it with the corresponding curves obtained with
a purely local realistic interaction (Argonne v) and the most recent
version of the one-boson exchange potential (CD Bonn). We find that the
inclusion of non-locality in the two-nucleon bare interaction strongly affects
saturation, but it is unable to provide a consistent description of few-body
nuclear systems and nuclear matter.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures; v2: introduction extended, references added,

Calculation of the Alpha--Particle Ground State within the Hyperspherical Harmonic Basis
The problem of calculating the four--nucleon bound state properties for the
case of realistic two- and three-body nuclear potentials is studied using the
hyperspherical harmonic (HH) approach. A careful analysis of the convergence of
different classes of HH functions has been performed. A restricted basis is
chosen to allow for accurate estimates of the binding energy and other
properties of the 4He ground state. Results for various modern two-nucleon and
two- plus three-nucleon interactions are presented. The 4He asymptotic
normalization constants for separation in 2+2 and 1+3 clusters are also
computed.Comment: 29 pages, 4 figures, 11 tables, revtex
Exact response of the non-relativistic harmonic oscillator
Using Greens function and operator techniques we give a closed expression
for the response of a non-relativistic system interacting through confining,
harmonic forces. The expression for the incoherent part permits rapid
evaluation of coefficients in a 1/q expansion. A comparison is made with
standard approximation methods.Comment: 9p.; INFN-ISS 93/2; WIS-93/50/Jun-P
Chiral quark-soliton model in the Wigner-Seitz approximation
In this paper we study the modification of the properties of the nucleon in
the nucleus within the quark-soliton model. This is a covariant, dynamical
model, which provides a non-linear representation of the spontaneously broken
SU(2)_L X SU(2)_R symmetry of QCD. The effects of the nuclear medium are
accounted for by using the Wigner-Seitz approximation and therefore reducing
the complex many-body problem to a simpler single-particle problem. We find a
minimum in the binding energy at finite density, a change in the isoscalar
nucleon radius and a reduction of the in-medium pion decay constant. The latter
is consistent with a partial restoration of chiral symmetry at finite density,
which is predicted by other models.Comment: 30 pages, 13 figures; uses REVTeX and epsfi
Deuteron Electroweak Disintegration
We study the deuteron electrodisintegration with inclusion of the neutral
currents focusing on the helicity asymmetry of the exclusive cross section in
coplanar geometry. We stress that a measurement of this asymmetry in the quasi
elastic region is of interest for an experimental determination of the weak
form factors of the nucleon, allowing one to obtain the parity violating
electron neutron asymmetry. Numerically, we consider the reaction at low
momentum transfer and discuss the sensitivity of the helicity asymmetry to the
strangeness radius and magnetic moment. The problems coming from the finite
angular acceptance of the spectrometers are also considered.Comment: 30 pages, Latex, 7 eps figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.C e-mail:

Semi-inclusive Deep Inelastic Electron Scattering off the Deuteron and the Neutron to Proton Structure Function Ratio
The production of slow nucleons in semi-inclusive deep inelastic electron
scattering off the deuteron is investigated in the region x \gsim 0.3. It is
shown that within the spectator mechanism the semi-inclusive cross section
exhibits a scaling property even at moderate values of ( few
) accessible at present facilities, like . Such a scaling
property can be used as a model-independent test of the dominance of the
spectator mechanism itself and provides an interesting tool to investigate the
neutron structure function. The possibility of extracting model-independent
information on the neutron to proton structure function ratio from
semi-inclusive experiments is illustrated. The application of the spectator
scaling to semi-inclusive processes off complex nuclei is outlined.Comment: revised version to appear in Phys. Lett. B (1996
Path Integral Variational Methods for Strongly Correlated Systems
We introduce a new approach to highly correlated systems which generalizes
the Fermi Hypernetted Chain and Correlated Basis Function techniques. While the
latter approaches can only be applied to systems for which a nonrelativistic
wave function can be defined, the new approach is based on the variation of a
trial hamiltonian within a path integral framework and thus can also be applied
to relativistic and field theoretical problems. We derive a diagrammatic scheme
for the new approach and show how a particular choice of the trial hamiltonian
corresponds exactly to the use of a Jastrow correlated ansatz for the wave
function in the Fermi Hypernetted Chain approach. We show how our new approach
can be used to find upper bounds to ground state energies in systems which the
FHNC cannot handle, including those described by an energy-dependent effective
hamiltonian. We demonstrate our approach by applying it to a quantum field
theoretical system of interacting pions and nucleons.Comment: 35 RevTeX pages, 7 separated ps figures available on reques
On the analytic solution of the pairing problem: one pair in many levels
We search for approximate, but analytic solutions of the pairing problem for
one pair of nucleons in many levels of a potential well. For the collective
energy a general formula, independent of the details of the single particle
spectrum, is given in both the strong and weak coupling regimes. Next the
displacements of the solutions trapped in between the single particle levels
with respect to the unperturbed energies are explored: their dependence upon a
suitably defined quantum number is found to undergo a transition between two
different regimes.Comment: 30 pages, AMS Latex, 8 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.
