We consider a two-parameter (c¯,c̃) family of quantum integrable isotropic Hamiltonians for a chain of alternating spins of spin s=1/2 and s=1. We determine the thermodynamics for low-temperature T and small external magnetic field H, with T≪H. In the antiferromagnetic (c¯>0,c̃>0) case, the model has two gapless excitations. In particular, for c¯=c̃, the model is conformally invariant and has central charge cvir=2. When one of these parameters is zero, the Bethe ansatz equations admit an infinite number of solutions with lowest energy.

Energy spectra of both protons and deuterons emitted following the capture of negative muons by 3He nuclei have been measured for energies above 15 MeV. A limited number of proton-neutron pairs emitted in coincidence were also observed. A simple plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) model calculation yields fair agreement with the measured proton energy spectra, but underpredicts the measured rate of deuteron production above our energy threshold by a large factor. A more sophisticated PWIA calculation for the two-body breakup channel, based on a realistic three-body wave function for the initial state, is closer to the deuteron data at …
