Neutron–proton effective mass splitting in neutron-rich matter at normal density from analyzing nucleon–nucleus scattering data within an isospin dependent optical model
Abstract The neutron–proton effective mass splitting in asymmetric nucleonic matter of isospin asymmetry δ and normal density is found to be m n − p ⁎ ≡ ( m n ⁎ − m p ⁎ ) / m = ( 0.41 ± 0.15 ) δ from analyzing globally 1088 sets of reaction and angular differential cross sections of proton elastic scattering on 130 targets with beam energies from 0.783 MeV to 200 MeV, and 1161 sets of data of neutron elastic scattering on 104 targets with beam energies from 0.05 MeV to 200 MeV within an isospin dependent non-relativistic optical potential model. It sets a useful reference for testing model predictions on the momentum dependence of the nucleon isovector potential necessary for understanding novel structures and reactions of rare isotopes.

Isospin dependent global neutronnucleus optical model potential
Abstract In this paper, we construct a new phenomenological isospin dependent global neutron–nucleus optical model potential. Based on the existing experimental data of elastic scattering angular distributions for neutron as projectile, we obtain a set of the isospin dependent global neutron–nucleus optical model potential parameters, which can basically reproduce the experimental data for target nuclei from 24 Mg to 242 Pu with the energy region up to 200 MeV.

STATIC QUARK POTENTIAL AND THE RENORMALIZED ANISOTROPY ON TADPOLE IMPROVED ANISOTROPIC LATTICES
Static quark potential is studied using a tadpole improved gauge lattice action. The scale is set using the potential for a wide range of bare parameters. The renormalized anisotropy of the lattice is also measured.

Exclusive radiative B-meson decays within the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model
A bstractIn the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model, the alignment of Yukawa matrices in flavour space guarantees the absence of tree-level flavour-changing neutral currents, while allowing at the same time for new sources of CP violation, implying potentially large effects in many low-energy processes. In this work we study the constraints from exclusive radiative B → V γ decays, where V denotes a light vector meson. The current experimental data on the CP-averaged branching ratios and the direct CP and isospin asymmetries are analyzed. It is found that, while the branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries do not constrain the parameter space much further compared to the inclusive B → Xs,d γ decays, complementary constraints can be obtained from the isospin asymmetries Δ(K*γ) and Δ(ργ). In addition, correlations between the various observables in exclusive B → V γ and inclusive B → Xs,d γ decays are investigated in detail, and predictions are made for several so far unmeasured observables.

NNLO vertex corrections to non-leptonic B decays: Tree amplitudes
Abstract The colour-suppressed tree amplitude in non-leptonic B decays is particularly sensitive to perturbative and non-perturbative corrections. We calculate the two-loop (NNLO) vertex corrections to the colour-suppressed and colour-allowed tree amplitudes in QCD factorization. Our results are given completely analytically, including the full dependence on the charm quark mass. We then update theoretical predictions for a range of interesting observables derived from ππ, πρ and ρρ final states that do not depend (significantly) on penguin contributions, and hence are now available with NNLO accuracy. We observe good agreement with experimental data within experimental and theoretical errors, except for observables involving the π 0 π 0 branching fraction.

Finslerian MOND vs . observations of Bullet Cluster 1 E 0657-558
It is known that theory of MOND with spherical symmetry cannot account for the convergence κ-map of Bullet Cluster 1E0657-558. In this paper, we try to set up a Finslerian MOND, a generalization of MOND in Finsler spacetime. We use Ric = 0 to obtain the gravitational vacuum field equation in a four-dimensional Finsler spacetime. To leading order in the post-Newtonian approximation, we obtain the explicit form of the Finslerian line element. It is simply the Schwarzschild’s metric except for the Finslerian rescaling coefficient f(v) of the radial coordinate r, i.e. R = f(v(r))r. By setting f(v(r)) = (1 − √ a0r/GM) , we obtain the famous MOND in a Finslerian framework. Taking a dipole and a quadrupole term into consideration, we give the convergence κ in gravitational lensing astrophysics in our model. Numerical analysis shows that our prediction is to a certain extent in agreement with the observations of Bullet Cluster 1E0657-558. With the theoretical temperature T taking the observed value 14.8 keV, the mass density profile of the main cluster obtained in our model is the same order as that given by the best-fit King β-model.

$p$-wave chiral superfluidity from an $s$-wave interacting atomic Fermi gas

Vincent Liu Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, USA 2 Condensed Matter Theory Center, University of Maryland, Co llege Park, MD 20742, USA Joint Quantum Institute, University of Maryland, College P ark, MD 20742, USA International Center for Quantum Materials, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China Collaborative Innovation Center of Quantum Matter, Beijin g, China (Dated: February 26, 2014) Abstract Chiralp-wave superfluids are fascinating topological quantum stat e of matter that have been found in the liquid 3He-A phase and arguably in the electronic Sr 2RuO4 superconductor. They are shown fundamentally related to the fractional 5/2 quantum Hall state which supports fractional exotic excita tions. A common understanding is that such states require spin-triplet pai ring of fermions due top-wave interaction. Here we report by controlled theoretical approximation that a cent er-of-mass Wannier p-wave chiral superfluid state can arise from spin-singlet pairing for an s-wave interacting atomic Fermi gas in an optical lattice. De spite a conceptually different origin, it shows topological prop erties similar to the conventional chiral p-wave state. These include a non-zero Chern number and the appeara nc of chiral fermionic zero modes bounded to domain walls. Several signature quantities are calculat ed for the cold atom experimental condition.
