Quark-Antiquark Condensates In Strong Magnetic Fields, Alec Schramm, Berndt Muller, Stefan Schramm

Alec J Schramm

We discuss the effect of large external magnetic fields on the QCD vacuum structure. We show that the deformed vacuum leads to substantial changes in the hadronic spectrum.


W Boson Condensation In P-P Collisions?, Alec Schramm, Stefan Schramm, Berndt Muller Feb 1992

W Boson Condensation In P-P Collisions?, Alec Schramm, Stefan Schramm, Berndt Muller

Alec J Schramm

We address the question of whether W+/- boson condensation can occur in high-energy collisions.

Spectra of energetic protons and deuterons emitted following negative muon capture from rest in 3He have been measured for the first time. Significant capture strength is observed at high energy transfers (mμ- Ev >60 MeV) for the two-body and three-body breakup channels, indicative of the importance of nucleon-nucleon correlations and meson exchange currents in the capture process. A simple plane wave impulse approximation calculation reproduces the proton spectrum reasonably well, but underpredicts the deuteron rate at the highest energies by a large factor.
