Demonstration of a solid deuterium source of ultra-cold neutrons

A. Saunders, J. M. Anaya, T. J. Bowles +26

Ultra-cold neutrons (UCN), neutrons with energies low enough to be confined by the Fermi potential in material bottles, are playing an increasing role in measurements of fundamenta…

The Effect of Bound Dineutrons upon BBN

James P. Kneller, Gail C. McLaughlin

We have examined the effects of a bound dineutron, n2, upon big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) as a function of its binding energy B_n2. We find a weakly bound dineutron has little imp…

Investigating the parity of the exotic Theta^+ baryon from the kaon photoproduction

Byung Geel Yu, Tae Keun Choi, Chueng-Ryong Ji

Based on the hadronic model with the gauge prescription suggested by Ohta and Haberzettl, we investigate the possibility of determining the parity state of the baryon using p…

Linking the Quark Meson Model with QCD at High Temperature

Jens Braun, Kai Schwenzer, Hans-Jürgen Pirner

We model the transition of a system of quarks and gluons at high energies to a system of quarks and mesons at low energies in a consistent renormalization group approach. Flow equa…

Prospects for Detecting a Neutrino Magnetic Moment with a Tritium Source and Beta-beams

G. C. McLaughlin, C. Volpe

We compare the prospects for detecting a neutrino magnetic moment by the measurement of neutrinos from a tritium source, reactors and low-energy beta-beams. In all cases the neutri…

Goldberger-Treiman constraint criteria for hyperon coupling constants

Ignacio J. General, Stephen R. Cotanch

The generalized Goldberger-Treiman relation is combined with the Dashen-Weinstein sum rule to provide a constraint equation between the g(KSigmaN) and g(KLambdaN) coupling constant…

Chiral Symmetry and Hyperfine Quark-Antiquark Splittings

Felipe J. Llanes-Estrada, Stephen R. Cotanch, Adam P. Szczepaniak +1

We briefly review theoretical calculations for the pseudoscalar-vector meson hyperfine splitting with no open flavor and also report a many body field theoretical effort to assess…

A High-Resolution Study of Nonthermal Radio and X-Ray Emission from SNR G347.3-0.5

J. S. Lazendic, P. O. Slane, B. M. Gaensler +3

G347.3-0.5 is one of three shell-type supernova remnants in the Galaxy whose X-ray spectrum is dominated by nonthermal emission. This puts G347.3-0.5 in the small, but growing clas…

Loops and Power Counting in the High Density Effective Field Theory

Thomas Schaefer

We introduce the high density effective theory of QCD. We discuss, in particular, the problem of developing a consistent power counting scheme.

The Effect of Magnetic Field Tilt and Divergence on the Mass Flux and Flow Speed in a Line-Driven Stellar Wind

Stan Owocki, Asif ud-Doula

We carry out an extended analytic study of how the tilt and faster-than-radial expansion from a magnetic field affect the mass flux and flow speed of a line-driven stellar wind. A…

Measurement of Electron Backscattering in the Energy Range of Neutron -Decay

J. W. Martin, J. Yuan, S. A. Hoedl +6

We report on the first detailed measurements of electron backscattering from low Z targets at energies up to 124 keV. Both energy and angular distributions of the backscattered ele…

On the Contribution of Gamma Ray Bursts to the Galactic Inventory of Some Intermediate Mass Nuclei

Jason Pruet, Rebecca Surman, Gail C. McLaughlin

Light curves from a growing number of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) indicate that GRBs copiously produce radioactive Ni moving outward at fractions of the speed of light. We calculate nu…

Instantons and Scalar Multiquark States: From Small to Large N_c

Thomas Schaefer

We study scalar quark-anti-quark and two-quark-two-anti-quark correlation functions in the instanton liquid model. We show that the instanton liquid supports a light scalar-isoscal…
