We find the threshold structure of the two- and three-nucleon systems, with the deuteron and 3H/3He as the only bound nuclei, sufficient to predict a pair of four-nucleon states: a deeply bound state which is identified with the helium-4 ground state, and a shallow, unstable state at an energy 0.38(25) MeV above the triton-proton threshold which is consistent with data on the first excited state of helium-4. The analysis employs the framework of Pionless EFT at leading order with a generalized regulator prescription which probes renormalization-group invariance of the two states with respect to higher-order perturbations including asymmetrical disturbances of the short-distance structure of the interaction. In addition to this invariance of the bound-state spectrum and the diagonal triton-proton 1S0 phase shifts in the helium-4 channel with respect to the short-distance structure of the nuclear interaction, our multi-channel calculations with a resonating-group method demonstrate the increasing sensitivity of nuclei to the neutron-proton P-wave interaction. We show that two-nucleon phase shifts, the triton channel, and three-nucleon negative-parity channels are less sensitive with respect to enhanced two-nucleon P-wave attraction than the four-nucleon triton-proton 1S0 phase shifts.
We investigate properties of bound and resonance states in the $_{Lambda}^{9}$Be nucleus. To reveal the nature of these states, we use a three-cluster $2alpha+Lambda$ microscopic model. The model incorporates Gaussian and oscillator basis functions and reduces a three-cluster Schr{o}dinger equation to a two-body like many-channel problem with the two-cluster subsystems ($_{Lambda}^{5}$He and $^8$Be) being in a bound or a pseudo-bound state. Influence of the cluster polarization on the energy and widths of resonance states in $_{Lambda}^{9}$Be and on elastic and inelastic $_{Lambda}^{5}$He+$alpha$ scattering is analyzed.
We present the first Dyson-Schwinger equation calculation of the light hadron spectrum that simultaneously correlates the masses of meson and baryon ground- and excited-states within a single framework. At the core of our analysis is a symmetry-preserving treatment of a vector-vector contact interaction. In comparison with relevant quantities the root-mean-square-relative-error/degree-of freedom is 13%. Notable amongst our results is agreement between the computed baryon masses and the bare masses employed in modern dynamical coupled-channels models of pion-nucleon reactions. Our analysis provides insight into numerous aspects of baryon structure; e.g., relationships between the nucleon and Delta masses and those of the dressed-quark and diquark correlations they contain.
The recoil, vacuum polarization and electron vertex corrections of first and second orders in the fine structure constant $alpha$ and the ratio of electron to muon and electron to alpha-particle masses are calculated in the hyperfine splitting of the $1s^{(e)}_{1/2}2s^{(mu)}_{1/2}$ state of muonic helium atom (mu e ^4_2He) on the basis of a perturbation theory. We obtain total result for the muonically excited state hyperfine splitting $Delta u^{hfs}=4295.66$ MHz which improves previous calculations due to the account of new corrections and more accurate treatment of the electron vertex contribution.
It is proposed to identify a strong electric field - created during relativistic collisions of asymmetric nuclei - via the observation of pseudorapidity and transverse momentum distributions of hadrons with the same mass but opposite charge. The results of detailed calculations within the Parton-Hadron String Dynamics (PHSD) approach for the charge-dependent directed flow $v_1$ are presented for semi-central Cu+Au collision at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV incorporating the inverse Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (iLPM) effect, which accounts for a delay in the electromagnetic interaction with the charged degree of freedom. Including the iLPM effect we achieve a reasonable agreement of the PHSD results for the charge splitting in $v_1(p_T)$ in line with the recent measurements of the STAR Collaboration for Cu+Au collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV while an instant appearance and coupling of electric charges at the hard collision vertex overestimates the splitting by about a factor of 10. We predict that the iLPM effect should practically disappear at energies of $sqrt{s_{NN}} approx$9 GeV, which should lead to a significantly larger charge splitting of $v_1$ at the future FAIR/NICA facilities.
We discuss the predictions of the large scale calculations using the realistic realisation of the phenomenological nuclear mean-field theory. Calculations indicate that certain Zirconium nuclei are tetrahedral-symmetric in their ground-states. After a short overview of the research of the nuclear tetrahedral symmetry in the past we analyse the predictive capacities of the method and focus on the $^{96}$Zr nucleus expected to be tetrahedral in its ground-state.
