Distribution of the color fields around static quarks: Flux tube profiles.
We report detailed calculations of the profiles of energy and action densities in the quark-antiquark string in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We conclude that at a {ital q}-{ital q}{vert_bar} separation {ital R}{approx_equal}1.0 fm we are beginning to see the asymptotic flux tube. By employing the Michael sum rules we further conclude that the peak energy density approaches a constant in {ital R}. {copyright} {ital 1995 The American Physical Society.}

London relation and fluxoid quantization for monopole currents in U(1) lattice gauge theory.
We explore the mechanism of quark confinement in four-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theory by measuring the color-magnetic current distribution from Dirac magnetic monopoles in the presence of a static quark-antiquark pair. Our results give the first direct evidence that the quarks induce a solenoidal current distribution that screens the color-electric flux of the quarks in an electric analogue of the Meissner effect in a superconductor. We show that the vacuum state of U(1) lattice gauge theory obeys both a dual version of the London equation and an electric fluxoid quantization condition.

High precision study of the space distribution of the colour flux in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory
Abstract The work of the Cracow-LSU collaboration on the space structure of the colour fields around the static charges is reported. We find that the large cancellations between the electric and magnetic energy densities lead to a narrow tube.

Measurement of the penetration depth and coherence length in U(1) and SU(2) dual Abrikosov vortices
Abstract We calculate the electric field and the curl of the magnetic monopole current for U(1) and for SU(2) in the maximal Abelian gauge in the mid-plane between a quark antiquark pair. The results can be understood as a dual Abrikosov vortex in the Ginzburg-Landau theory.

Mechanism for glueball production.
A production mechanism is suggested to test the production of a glueball resonance in the process ..pi../sup -/p..-->..phiphin. Our results indicate that the g/sub T/ resonance in this process corresponds to a quarkonium (ss-bar ) state, because the theoretically expected absolute rate of peripheral glueball production is larger than that experimentally observed.

Systematics of preequilibrium contributions in (n,p) reactions at 14 MeV.
The existing up to data global data on angle integrated energy spectra (AIES) and energy integrated angular distributions (EIAD) of protons from ([ital n],[ital p]) reactions at 14 MeV nominal neutron energy have been analyzed to develop systematics in relative preequilibrium contributions (RPC). The experimental estimates of RPC were obtained either from asymmetric components of the extrapolated EIAD or from the analysis of AIES, by comparison with equilibrium contributions obtained from the Hauser-Feshbach model. The experimentally obtained RPC have been compared with those expected from recent Feschbach-Kerman-Koonin theory as extended by Kalbach [ital et] [ital al]. as well as with theoretical predictions by Brown and Muirhead. The mass number systematics of RPC manifest shell and even-odd effects. The fraction of the precompound nucleus decays obtained from RPC, using the Blann-Griffin model, is constant and small for [ital A][ge]72, and increases to about 1 for small [ital A]'s. The analysis with the Kalbach model yields the dependence of the level density parameters [ital a][sub 1] and [ital a][sub 2] on [ital A]; also values of [ital a][sub 1] and [ital a][sub 2] manifest prominent structures near closed shell nuclei. The values of [ital a][sub 1] for compound nucleus are systematically highermore » than [ital a][sub 2], for the residual nuclei by an amount much larger than expected by usual [ital A] dependence, indicating excitation energy dependence of the single particle level density [ital g]. The excitation energy dependence of [ital g] when explored in the light of Rosenzweig's positive power law, with parameters [ital n] and [ital k], reveals that for most cases 1.2[le][ital n][le]1.5, with no systematic dependence of [ital n] on [ital A], compared to reported theoretical values of [ital n][congruent]1.6 by Rosenzweig, and 0.8[le][ital k][le]3.8 with a trend of slow increase of [ital k] with [ital A].« less

Birkhoff's theorem for electromagnetic fields in a new scalar-tensor theory.
A result having formal similarity to Birkhoff's theorem in general relativity is proved in the presence of electromagnetic fields in a new scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Schmidt et al. for the special case when the scalar field is massless and independent of time.

Coulomb excitation studies in antimony isotopes.
Various low-lying energy levels up to 1.145 MeV in {sup 121,123}Sb have been Coulomb excited using 3.0--4.0 MeV proton-beam energies. The reduced transition probabilities of the excited levels have been newly deduced from the measured yields of the deexcitation gamma rays. The values of mixing ratios for a few transitions and the removal of ambiguities in the spin values of some levels have been presented from the angular distribution analysis.
