Weak Decays Of The H-Dibaryon, Jf Donoghue, E Golowich, Br Holstein Nov 1986

Weak Decays Of The H-Dibaryon, Jf Donoghue, E Golowich, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

We calculate decay rates and branching fractions for the postulated S=-2 H dibaryon, both for the expected ΔS=1 channels (nΛ,nΣ0,pΣ-) and for the possible ΔS=2 mode (nn). For ΔS=1 decays we find the S waves are dominated by ΔI=(3/2) transitions due to the Pauli principle, which forces the six-quark final state to be in a SU(3) 27-plet. If observed, this would be the first breakdown of the ΔI=1/2 rule. The lifetime is long, of order 10-8 sec, which should be considered in planning experiments. In the ΔS=2 case, we add a consideration of dispersive effects to our previous calculation of …

Gravitational Coupling At Finite Temperature, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein, Rw Robinett Aug 1986

Gravitational Coupling At Finite Temperature, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein, Rw Robinett

Barry R Holstein

We discuss a thermodynamic identity which helps explain why ≠ at finite temperature. In addition we complete the discussion of the gravitational force by including the gravitational variation of the temperature. Gradients in the temperature induce extra forces not accounted for by the usual coupling to the energy-momentum tensor.

G. N. Lewis' Atom And Quantum Monte Carlo Studies Of Liquids, Randall W. Hall, Peter G. Wolynes May 1986

G. N. Lewis' Atom And Quantum Monte Carlo Studies Of Liquids, Randall W. Hall, Peter G. Wolynes

Randall W. Hall

Liquids that involve changes in electronic structure are difficult to simulate using pairwise additive forces. In this paper we use a semiempirical model of the internal structure of atoms in order to simulate simultaneously electronic and nuclear dynamics of fluids. The proposed excitonic phase of mercury is critically examined with these models.

Chiral Symmetry, Nonleptonic Hyperon Decay, And The Feinberg-Kabir-Weinberg Theorem, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein Apr 1986

Chiral Symmetry, Nonleptonic Hyperon Decay, And The Feinberg-Kabir-Weinberg Theorem, Jf Donoghue, Br Holstein

Barry R Holstein

We demonstrate that additional (kaon-pole) diagrams must be appended to the traditional commutator-plus-baryon-pole approach to nonleptonic hyperon decay. The modified analysis satisfied the constraints of the Feinberg-Kabir-Weinberg theorem. The new terms are not numerically significant in the case of the usual current-current Hamiltonian, in the continuum limit, but can be important for work using lattice techniques or for other Hamiltonians.
