Backbending phenomena in light nuclei at A~60 mass region

Recent studies of the backbending phenomenon in medium light weight nuclei near A~60 expanded greatly our interest about how the single particle orbits are nonlinearly affected by the collective motion. As a consequence we have applied a modi…ed version of the exponential model with the inclusion of paring correlation to describe the energy spectra of the ground state bands and/or the backbending phenomenon in mass region at A~60. A firm conclusion is obtained concerning the successful validity of the proposed modified model in describing the backbending phenomenon in this region. Comparison with different theoretical descriptions is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure

Possible huge enhancement in the radiative decay of the weal W boson into the charmed DsD_{s} meson

We point out that the rare decay mode $W^{\pm} \rightarrow \gamma + D^{\pm}_{s}$ could be spectacularly enhanced, with a branching ratio around $10^{-6}$ which is three order of magnitude larger than previous predictions. Its observation will determine the W boson mass with great accuracy, providing additional high precision tests of the standard model, as well as reveal eventual deviation from the trilinear non-abelian gauge coupling.Comment: 14, PAR/LPTHE 93 - 0

Quantized Berry Phases for a Local Characterization of Spin Liquids in Frustrated Spin Systems

Recently by using quantized Berry phases, a prescription for a local characterization of gapped topological insulators is given. One requires the ground state is gapped and is invariant under some anti-unitary operation. A spin liquid which is realized as a unique ground state of the Heisenberg spin system with frustrations is a typical target system, since pairwise exchange couplings are always time-reversal invariants even with frustrations. As for a generic Heisenberg model with a finite excitation gap, we locally modify the Hamiltonian by a continuous SU(2) twist only at a specific link and define the Berry connection by the derivative. Then the Berry phase evaluated by the entire many-spin wavefunction is used to define the local topological order parameter at the link. We numerically apply this scheme for several spin liquids and show its physical validity.Comment: 6 pages. submitted for a proceeding of the conference (HFM2006) as an original pape

Experience on the use of MOSTAB-HFW computer code for horizontal-axis wind turbines

Three topics are covered dealing with the frequencies of a rotating beam, the use of the fundamental mode of a uniform cantilever beam, and the analysis of resonance dwell. Immensely high peak loads were generated by the code for resonance dwell indicating further need for including structural damping and for transient analysis capability. The effect of structural damping, newly incorporated in the code, is described

Critical Behaviour near the Mott Metal-Insulator Transition in a Two-band Hubbard Model

The Mott metal-insulator transition in the two-band Hubbard model in infinite dimensions is studied by using the linearized dynamical mean-field theory. The discontinuity in the chemical potential for the change from hole to electron doping is calculated analytically as a function of the on-site Coulomb interaction $U$ at the $d$-orbital and the charge-transfer energy $\Delta$ between the $d$- and $p$-orbitals. Critical behaviour of the quasiparticle weight is also obtained analytically as a function of $U$ and $\Delta$. The analytic results are in good agreement with the numerical results of the exact diagonalization method.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
