• Dipolar condensed atomic mixtures and miscibility under rotation

  Lauro Tomio, R. Kishor Kumar, Arnaldo Gammal

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 023 (2020) · published 25 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  By considering symmetric and asymmetric dipolar coupled mixtures (with dysprosium and erbium isotopes), we report a study on relevant anisotropic effects, related to spatial separation and miscibility, due to dipole-dipole interactions (DDIs) in rotating binary dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. The binary mixtures are kept in strong pancake-like traps, with repulsive two-body interactions modeled by an effective two-dimensional (2D) coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The DDI are tuned from repulsive to attractive by varying the dipole polarization angle. A clear spatial separation is verified in the densities for attractive DDIs, being angular for symmetric mixtures and radial for asymmetric ones. Also relevant is the mass-imbalance sensibility observed by the vortex-patterns in symmetric and asymmetric-dipolar mixtures. In an extension of this study, here we show how the rotational properties and spatial separation of these dipolar mixture are affected by a quartic term added to the harmonic trap of one of the components.

• Study of deuteron-proton backward elastic scattering at intermediate energies

  Nadezhda Ladygina

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 053 (2020) · published 27 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  We study deuteron- proton elastic scattering in the deuteron energy range between 500 MeV and 2~GeV at the cms scattering angle $\theta^*\ge 140^\circ$. The reaction is considered in the relativistic multiple scattering expansion framework. The four reaction mechanisms are included into consideration: one-nucleon exchange, single scattering, double scattering, and the term corresponding to the delta excitation in the intermediate state. The model is applied to describe the angular dependence of the differential cross section at the deuteron energies of between 880 and 1300 MeV. Also the energy dependence of the differential cross section and polarisation observables such as tensor analyzing power $T_{20}$ and polarization transfer from the deuteron to proton $\varkappa$ are considered at the scattering angle equal to 180$^\circ$. Contributions of the different reaction mechanisms into the reaction amplitude are demonstrated in comparison with the existing experimental data.

• Virial expansion coefficients in the unitary Fermi gas

  Shimpei Endo

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 049 (2020) · published 27 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  Virial expansion is widely used in cold atoms to analyze high temperature strongly correlated many-body systems. As the n-th order virial expansion coefficient can be accurately obtained by exactly solving up to n-body problems, the virial expansion offers a few-body approach to study strongly correlated many-body problems. In particular, the virial expansion has successfully been applied to unitary Fermi gas. We review recent progress of the virial expansion studies in the unitary Fermi gas, in particular the fourth order virial coefficient.

• Short range nucleon correlations studied with electron and photon probes

  I.J. Douglas MacGregor

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 010 (2020) · published 24 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  This paper reviews experimental research into two- and three-body nucleon-nucleon interactions, carried out by the University of Glasgow Nuclear Physics research group. A key aim of these studies has been to elucidate the role of short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations (SRC). Studies of photon-induced two- and three-nucleon emission reactions from a range of light nuclei, carried out at the 840 MeV Mainz electron microtron MAMI-B, have provided detailed information on the contributing mechanisms. More recent electron scattering studies at the 6.0 GeV Jefferson Laboratory have probed SRC at high values of Q2 and xB and suggested a connection between SRC and the EMC effect.

• An investigation of the appearance of a long range nuclear potential in ultra low energy nuclear synthesis

  Shinsho Oryu, Takashi Watanabe, Yasuhisa Hiratsuka, Masayuki Takeda

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 050 (2020) · published 27 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  A new potential, the $general$ $particle$ $transfer$ $potential$: so called ``GPT'' potential was represented in the previous paper which indicates a Yukawa-type potential for shorter range, but a $1/r^n$-type potential for longer range where $n=2$ includes the Efimov-like potential in the hadron system. In order to confirm the existence of a GPT potential, we investigate the possibility of Cs+2d$\rightarrow$La reaction on the three-ion quasi-molecule CsD$_2$ which is covered by twelve Pd or a CsD$_2$Pd$_{12}$-cluster, where the three-body bound states and wave functions for D-Cs-D molecular and d-Cs-d nuclear systems are calculated. We obtain an approximate E2-transition from the molecular states to the nuclear states. The transition ratio between the short range nuclear potential with the $1/r^2$-type long range potential and without long range potential is $W_{i\rightarrow f}^{E2';L}/W_{i\rightarrow f}^{E2';S}\approx 10^8$. If the reaction Cs+2D$\rightarrow$La is experimentally observed, then the existence of the GPT potential could be confirmed.

  M. Inoue, K. Sekiguchi, K. Miki, A. Watanabe, S. Nakai, S. Shibuya, D. Sakai, Y. Utsuki, H. Umetsu, K. Hatanaka, H. Kanda, H. J. Ong, T. Wakasa, S. Goto, S. Mitsumoto, D. Inomoto, H. Kasahara, T. Ino, H. Sakai, Y. Maeda, K. Nonaka, T. Wakui, M. Itoh

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 004 (2020) · published 24 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  We performed the experiment of p–$^{3}$He scattering at 65 MeV by using polarized proton beams and the newly constructed polarized $^{3}$He target. The proton analyzing power $A_{y}$, the 3He analyzing power $A^{T}_{y}$, and the spin correlation coefficient $C_{yy}$ were measured. In the conference, the experimental data were compared with the rigorous numerical calculations based on various nuclear potentials. Large discrepancies between the experimental data and the calculations were found in the $A^{T}_{y}$ and the $C_{yy}$ at the backward angles.

• Theoretical study of deeply virtual Compton scattering off $^4$He

  Sara Fucini, Sergio Scopetta, Michele Viviani

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 012 (2020) · published 24 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  An interesting breakthrough in understanding the elusive inner content of nuclear systems in terms of partonic degrees of freedom is represented by deeply virtual Compton scattering processes. In such a way, tomographic view of nuclei and bound nucleons in coordinate space could be achieved for the first time. Moreover, nowadays experimental results for such a process considering $^4$He targets recently released at Jefferson Lab are available. In this talk, the recent results of our rigorous Impulse Approximation for DVCS off $^4$He, in terms of state-of-the-art models of the nuclear spectral function and of the parton structure of the bound proton, able to explain present data, has been shown.

• Investigations of the few-nucleon systems within the LENPIC project

  Jacek Golak, Evgeny Epelbaum, Alessandro Grassi, Hiroyuki Kamada, Hermann Krebs, Patrick Reinert, Roman Skibiński, Volodymyr Soloviov, Kacper Topolnicki, Vitalii Urbanevych, Yuriy Volkotrub, Henryk Witała

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 002 (2020) · published 24 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  Results presented in this contribution are obtained within the Low Energy Nuclear Physics International Collaboration (LENPIC). LENPIC aims to develop chiral nucleon-nucleon and many-nucleon interactions complete through at least the fourth order in the chiral expansion. These interactions will be used together with consistently derived current operators to solve the structure and reactions of light and medium-mass nuclei including electroweak processes. In this contribution the current status of the chiral nuclear forces and current operators will be briefly discussed. A special role played by the calculations of nucleon-deuteron scattering will be explained.

• An accurate allowance for initial and final state interactions in the treatment of the alpha-alpha Bremsstrahlung

  Adam M. Arslanaliev, Aleksandr V. Shebeko

  SciPost Phys. Proc. 3, 042 (2020) · published 27 February 2020 | Toggle abstract · pdf

  The alpha-alpha bremsstrahlung is studied using the generalization of the Siegert theorem. The corresponding amplitude is written in the gauge invariant form. Special attention is paid to taking into account the Coulomb interaction. Some correlation function is found and its dependence on the strong interaction is discussed.
