Theoretical description of octupole correlations in the Xe 138 – 148 nuclei
The Gogny force is used to study, in the framework of the mean field theory and the collective Hamiltonian method, the octupole correlations present in the [sup 138--148]Xe nuclei. The energy splittings between the ground state and the lowest-lying negative parity state are computed as well as the [ital B]([ital E]1) and [ital B]([ital E]3) transition probabilities. A peculiar behavior of the [ital B]([ital E]1)'s as a function of neutron number is predicted.

E3 transition probabilities in the platinum, mercury, and lead isotopes.
Spectroscopical properties of the platinum, mercury, and lead isotopes are studied within the Hartree-Fock plus BCS framework with the finite range density-dependent Gogny force. These properties are also studied beyond mean-field theory by combining the use of generator-coordinate-method-like wave functions with the angular momentum projection technique as to generate many-body correlated wave functions that are at the same time eigenstates of the angular momentum operator. We apply this formalism to the calculation of reduced transition probabilities {ital B}({ital E}3) from the lowest-lying octupole collective state to the ground state of several isotopes of the platinum, mercury, and lead nuclei whose experimental {ital B}({ital E}3) values present a peculiar behavior. The projected calculations show a large improvement over the unprojected ones when compared with the experimental data. The unprojected calculations are unable to predict any structure in the {ital B}({ital E}3). {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}

Holographic entanglement beyond classical gravity
A bstractThe Rényi entropies and entanglement entropy of 1+1 CFTs with gravity duals can be computed by explicit construction of the bulk spacetimes dual to branched covers of the boundary geometry. At the classical level in the bulk this has recently been shown to reproduce the conjectured Ryu-Takayanagi formula for the holographic entanglement entropy. We study the one-loop bulk corrections to this formula. The functional determinants in the bulk geometries are given by a sum over certain words of generators of the Schottky group of the branched cover. For the case of two disjoint intervals on a line we obtain analytic answers for the one-loop entanglement entropy in an expansion in small cross-ratio. These reproduce and go beyond anticipated universal terms that are not visible classically in the bulk. We also consider the case of a single interval on a circle at finite temperature. At high temperatures we show that the one-loop contributions introduce expected finite size corrections to the entanglement entropy that are not present classically. At low temperatures, the one-loop corrections capture the mixed nature of the density matrix, also not visible classically below the Hawking-Page temperature.

The Pauli exclusion principle at strong coupling: holographic matter and momentum space
A bstractFor free fermions at finite density, the Pauli exclusion principle is responsible for the existence of a Fermi surface and the consequent presence of low energy spectral weight over a finite range of momenta. We investigate the extent to which this effect occurs in strongly interacting quantum matter with a holographic dual. We obtain the low energy current-current spectral weight in two holographic frameworks at finite density: systems exhibiting semi-local quantum criticality (with a low temperature entropy density vanishing like s ∼ Tη ), and a probe D3/D5 system. For the semi-local theory with 0 < η < 2 we find a sharp discontinuity in the transverse spectral weight at a nonzero momentum k⋆. The case η=1 is found to have additional symmetries and is soluble even at nonzero temperature. We show that this case exhibits a robust linear in temperature resistivity in the presence of random charged impurities. For the probe D3/D5 system we find an analytic expression for the low energy spectral weight as a function of momentum. The spectral weight is supported below a specific momentum k⋆ and is exponentially suppressed at higher momenta.

Measurement of K0(mu3) form factors
Abstract This Letter reports on a new high precision measurement of the form factors of the K L → π ± μ ∓ ν μ decay. The data sample of about 2.3 × 10 6 events was recorded in 1999 by the NA48 experiment at CERN. Studying the Dalitz plot density we measured a linear, λ + ′ = ( 20.5 ± 2.2 stat ± 2.4 syst ) × 10 −3 , and a quadratic, λ + ″ = ( 2.6 ± 0.9 stat ± 1.0 syst ) × 10 −3 term in the power expansion of the vector form factor. No evidence was found for a second order term for the scalar form factor; the linear slope was determined to be λ 0 = ( 9.5 ± 1.1 stat ± 0.8 syst ) × 10 −3 . Using a linear fit our results were: λ + = ( 26.7 ± 0.6 stat ± 0.8 syst ) × 10 −3 and λ 0 = ( 11.7 ± 0.7 stat ± 1.0 syst ) × 10 −3 . A pole fit of the form factors yields: m V = ( 905 ± 9 stat ± 17 syst ) MeV / c 2 and m S = ( 1400 ± 46 stat ± 53 syst ) MeV / c 2 .
