Kaon Productions Off Nucleons And The Structure of Baryon Resonances

The recent Investigations in the chiral quark model show that kaon productions of nucleon play an important role in understanding the structure of baryons. The evidences of a third $S_{11}$ resonance in the second resonance region and two narrow states around 2 GeV suggest a set of the molecular type baryons with hidden strangeness. Confirming these states requires further theoretical and experimental studies of the strangeness production.Comment: 4 Pages in Latex form.

An Unified Approach To Pseudo Scalar Meson Photoproductions Off Nucleons In The Quark Model

An unified approach to the pseudo scalar meson ($\pi, \eta$, and $K$) photoproduction off nucleons are presented. It begins with the low energy QCD Lagrangian, and the resonances in the s- and u- channels are treated in the framework of the quark model The duality hypothesis is imposed to limit the number of the t-channel exchanges. The CGLN amplitudes for each reaction are evaluated, which include both proton and neutron targets. The important role by the S-wave resonances in the second resonance region is discussed, it is particularly important for the $K, \eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ photoproductions.Comment: 31 pages in Latex fil

Probing Quantum Confinement and Electronic Structure at Polar Oxide Interfaces

Polar discontinuities occurring at interfaces between two different materials constitute both a challenge and an opportunity in the study and application of a variety of devices. In order to cure the large electric field occurring in such structures, a reconfiguration of the charge landscape sets in at the interface via chemical modifications, adsorbates or charge transfer. In the latter case, one may expect a local electronic doping of one material: one sparkling example is the two-dimensional electron liquid (2DEL) appearing in SrTiO$_3$ once covered by a polar LaAlO$_3$ layer. Here we show that tuning the formal polarisation of a (La,Al)$_{1-x}$(Sr,Ti)$_x$O$_3$ (LASTO:$x$) overlayer through chemical composition modifies the quantum confinement of the 2DEL in SrTiO$_3$ and its electronic band structure. The analysis of the behaviour in magnetic field of superconducting field-effect devices reveals, in agreement with $ab\ initio$ calculations and self-consistent Poisson-Schr\"odinger modelling, that quantum confinement and energy splitting between electronic bands of different symmetries strongly depend on interface charge densities. These results not only strongly support the polar discontinuity mechanisms with a full charge transfer to explain the origin of the 2DEL at the celebrated LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface, but also demonstrate an effective tool for tailoring the electronic structure at oxide interfaces.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, 1 ancillary file (Supporting Information

The Kaon-Photoproduction Of Nucleons In The Quark Model

In this paper, we develop a general framework to study the meson-photoproductions of nucleons in the chiral quark model. The S and U channel resonance contributions are expressed in terms of the Chew-Goldberger-Low-Nambu (CGLN) amplitudes. The kaon-photoproduction processes, $\gamma p\to K^+ \Lambda$, $\gamma p\to K^+ \Sigma^0$, and $\gamma p\to K^0\Sigma^+$, are calculated. The initial results show that the quark model provides a much improved description of the reaction mechanism for the kaon-photoproductions of the nucleon with less parameters than the traditional phenomenological approaches.Comment: 25 pages, 9 postscript figures can be obtained from the author

Sigma Signal for Hybrid Baryon Decay

We develop an ansatze of the sigma enhancement of the I=0, L=0 $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering amplitude as arising from a low-energy glueball pole. Using this picture we estimate the $\pi^0\pi^0$ to $\pi^0$ branching ratio for the decays of the Roper resonance, which we previously found to be a hybrid in our QCD sum rule calculation. We find that the sigma decay might be a good signal for gluonic components of hadrons.Comment: Latex fil
