Primordial black holes as a dark matter candidate J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2021-02-12 Anne M Green; Bradley J Kavanagh
The detection of gravitational waves from mergers of tens of Solar mass black hole binaries has led to a surge in interest in primordial black holes (PBHs) as a dark matter candidate. We aim to provide a (relatively) concise overview of the status of PBHs as a dark matter candidate, circa Summer 2020. First we review the formation of PBHs in the early Universe, focussing mainly on PBHs formed via the

Event shape engineering and multiplicity dependent study of identified particle production in proton + proton collisions at = 13 TeV using PYTHIA8 J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2021-02-02 Arvind Khuntia; Sushanta Tripathy; Ashish Bisht; Raghunath Sahoo
Small system collectivity observed at the LHC energies along with enhancement of strangeness makes high-multiplicity proton + proton (pp) collisions very interesting in order to look for QGP-like features, usually found in heavy-ion collisions. It may be interesting to perform a double differential study of different observables in pp collisions in terms of charged particle multiplicity and event shape

Breaking μ − τ symmetry of tri-bimaximal mixing J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2021-02-02 Kanwaljeet S Channey; Sanjeev Kumar
The TBM neutrino mass matrix is invariant under the TM1, TM2, and μ − τ exchange symmetry. The prediction of vanishing θ 13 by TBM is due to its invariance under μ − τ exchange symmetry. We can construct neutrino mass textures where TBM mass matrix is the main contributing matrix and a μ − τ symmetry breaking term is added as an additional contribution. The overall matrix will be invariant under either

Neutrino(antineutrino)–nucleus interactions in the shallow- and deep-inelastic scattering regions J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2021-01-26 M Sajjad Athar; Jorge G Morfn
In –nucleon/nucleus interactions shallow inelastic scattering (SIS) is technically defined in terms of the four-momentum transfer to the hadronic system as non-resonant meson production with Q 2 ⪅ 1GeV2. This non-resonant meson production intermixes with resonant meson production in a regime of similar effective hadronic mass W of the interaction. As Q 2 grows and surpasses this ≈1GeV2 limit, non-resonant

The ability of the Gogny forces of the D1 family to describe the nucleon-nucleus scattering is studied. To this end, we use an optical model (OM) potential built up using a semi-microscopic nuclear matter (NM) approach. The real and imaginary parts of the OM are provided by the first and second-order terms, respectively, of the Taylor expansion of the mass operator calculated within the Brueckner–Hartree–Fock

Two-delta shell resonance description of α-decay: analytic expression of half-life via energy derivative of phase-shift J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2021-01-26 Basudeb Sahu
The process of α-decay being intrinsically quantum mechanical originates from the resonance state of the α + daughter nucleus two-body system where the scattering phase-shifts vary rapidly in a small energy range of the size of the resonance width in the presence of narrow resonance. We model this physical phenomenon and derive a clear expression for the decay width, Γ, in terms of energy derivative

Pionless effective field theory evaluation of nuclear polarizability in muonic deuterium J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2021-01-26 Samuel B Emmons; Chen Ji; Lucas Platter
We calculate the longitudinal structure function of the deuteron up through next-to-next-to-leading order in the framework of pionless effective field theory. We use these results to compute the two-photon polarizability contribution to Lamb shift in muonic deuterium, which can be utilized to extract the nuclear charge radius of the deuteron. We present analytical expressions order-by-order for the

Dense quark matter is expected to behave as a type-II superconductor at strong coupling. It was previously shown that if the strange quark mass m s is neglected, magnetic domain walls in the so-called 2SC phase are the energetically preferred magnetic defects in a certain parameter region. Computing the flux tube profiles and associated free energies within a Ginzburg–Landau approach, we find a cascade

We investigate the change of the neutron-skin thickness from parent to daughter nuclei involved in the cluster decay process. The neutron-skin thickness is obtained using self-consistent Hartree–Fock–Bogolyubov calculations based on Skyrme-SLy4 effective nucleon–nucleon interaction. The experimental data of the cluster decay modes observed to date indicate that the shell effect then the released energy

Hadronic interactions are crucial for the dynamical description of heavy-ion reactions at low collision energies and in the late dilute stages at high collision energies. In particular, the properties and decay channels of resonances are an essential ingredient of hadronic transport approaches. The HADES collaboration measured particle production in collisions of pions with carbon and tungsten nuclei

We examine mode entanglement and correlation of two fermionic particles analytically and numerically. We study the one- and two-mode entropies and a global characteristic, the one-body entanglement entropy considering angular momentum coupled state with a single configuration. We show that with rearrangement of the single-particle orbitals the Slater decomposition can be obtained which can also be

The effective field theory motivated relativistic mean-field (E-RMF) formalism is employed to study the equation of state (EoS) for the infinite symmetric nuclear matter (SNM) at finite temperature using the recently developed forces FSUGarnet, IOPB-I, G3, and the well known NL3 force parameter. The EoS is then used to estimate the critical temperature T c, pressure P c and density ρ c of the SNM for

In this paper, we give an account of the peripheral-tube model, which has been developed to give an intuitive and dynamical description of the so-called ridge effect in two-particle correlations in high-energy nuclear collisions. Starting from a realistic event-by-event fluctuating hydrodynamical model calculation, we first show the emergence of ridge + shoulders in the so-called two-particle long-range

Strong two- and three-body decays of the new excited hyperon Ω*(2012) are discussed in the hadronic molecular approach. The Ω*(2012) state is considered to contain the mixed and Ωη hadronic components.

Multiplicity and pseudorapidity (η) density (dN ch/dη) distributions of charged hadrons provide key information towards understanding the particle production mechanisms and initial conditions of high-energy heavy-ion collisions. However, detector constraints limit the η-range across which charged particle measurements can be carried out. Extrapolating the measured distributions to large η-range by

We determine the discovery potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at 13 TeV center-of-mass energy for a heavy scalar resonance in the dilepton channel. In particular, we consider the singlet-like heavy mass eigenstate of a mixed two Higgs doublet and scalar singlet model in the U(1) B−L extension of the standard model. We find that, despite the small coupling of the singlet scalar with the doublets

There is convincing observational evidence for an increasing cosmic-ray positron-to-electron ratio at energies larger than ∼10 GeV, at odds with expectations from secondary positron production. The most recent AMS-02 data exhibit an interesting spectral feature consisting of a bump at an energy around 300 GeV followed by a drop around ∼800 GeV. A possible explanation for the most recent data is that

Uncertainty quantification has become increasingly more prominent in nuclear physics over the past several years. In few-body reaction theory, there are four main sources that contribute to the uncertainties in the calculated observables: the effective potentials, approximations made to the few-body problem, structure functions, and degrees of freedom left out of the model space. In this work, we illustrate

The need to enforce fermionic antisymmetry in the nuclear many-body problem commonly requires use of single-particle coordinates, defined relative to some fixed origin. To obtain physical operators which nonetheless act on the nuclear many-body system in a Galilean-invariant fashion, thereby avoiding spurious center-of-mass contributions to observables, it is necessary to express these operators with

The present lifetime results suggest a moderate quadrupole deformation (β 2 ≈ 0.2) for the negative

Scalar spectrum in a graviton soft wall model J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2020-11-03 Matteo Rinaldi; Vicente Vento
In this study we present a unified phenomenological analysis of the scalar glueball and scalar meson spectra within an AdS/QCD framework in the bottom up approach. For this purpose we generalize the recently developed graviton soft-wall (GSW) model, which has shown an excellent agreement with the lattice QCD glueball spectrum, to a description of glueballs and mesons with a unique energy scale. In

Electron- versus neutrino-nucleus scattering J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2020-11-03 J E Amaro; M B Barbaro; J A Caballero; R Gonzlez-Jimnez; G D Megias; I Ruiz Simo
We illustrate the connection between electron and neutrino scattering off nuclei and show how the former process can be used to constrain the description of the latter. After reviewing some of the nuclear models commonly used to study lepton-nucleus reactions, we describe in detail the SuSAv2 model and show how its predictions compare with the available electron- and neutrino-scattering data over the

Nonadiabatic quasiparticle description of rotation-particle coupling in triaxial odd–odd nuclei J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2020-10-31 Pooja Siwach, P Arumugam, S Modi, L S Ferreira and E Maglione
A large wealth of data and a variety of models led to significant progress in understanding the spectra of deformed nuclei. However, a robust theoretical approach, which is less reliant on adjustable parameters is still elusive. Due to the scarcity of data, this drawback gets more pronounced while studying the exotic nuclei. With the motive to overcome this difficulty, we have developed the nonadiabatic

Revisiting Majorana neutrino textures in the light of dark LMA J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2020-10-31 Happy Borgohain and Debasish Borah
We study the possibility of texture zeros in Majorana light neutrino mass matrix in the light of dark large mixing angle (DLMA) solution to solar neutrino problem where solar mixing angle (sin 2 θ 12 ≃ 0.7) lies in the second octant instead of first octant in standard large mixing angle (LMA) scenario (sin 2 θ 12 ≃ 0.3). In three neutrino scenario, we find that LMA and DLMA solutions lead to different

Revisiting the rare H → q i q j decays in the standard model J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2020-10-31 J I Aranda, G González-Estrada, J Montaño, F Ramírez-Zavaleta and E S Tututi
We revisit the rare decays of the Higgs boson to two different quarks in the standard model (SM), which arise at the one-loop level. We perform Taylor series expansions to the complete form factors of the decay amplitudes, according to their different mass hierarchies, this allow us to take full advantage of the Glashow–Iliopoulos–Maiani (GIM) mechanism to eliminate spurious contributions and retain

A new neutron lifetime experiment with cold neutron beam decay in superfluid helium-4 J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2020-10-29 Wanchun Wei
The puzzle remains in the large discrepancy between neutron lifetime measured by the two distinct experimental approaches—counts of beta decays in a neutron beam and storage of ultracold neutrons in a potential trap, namely, the beam method versus the bottle method. In this paper, we propose a new experiment to measure the neutron lifetime in a cold neutron (CN) beam with a sensitivity goal of 0.1%

There has been much recent interest in nuclear fission, due in part to a new appreciation of its relevance to astrophysics, stability of superheavy elements, and fundamental theory of neutrino interactions. At the same time, there have been important developments on a conceptual and computational level for the theory. The promising new theoretical avenues were the subject of a workshop held at the

Probing the sensitivity to leptonic δ CP in presence of invisible decay of ν 3 using atmospheric neutrinos J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2020-10-14 Lakshmi S Mohan
One of the main neutrino oscillation parameters whose value has not been determined very precisely is the leptonic δ CP phase. Since neutrinos have a tiny but finite mass they can undergo decay both visibly and invisibly. The effect of invisible decay of the third mass eigen state ν 3 on the sensitivity to δ CP is analysed here using atmospheric neutrino and anti-neutrino events. Effects of detector

Mixed phase transition from hypernuclear matter to deconfined quark matter fulfilling mass-radius constraints of neutron stars J. Phys. G Nucl. Partic. Phys. (IF 2.415) Pub Date : 2020-10-14 M Shahrbaf, D Blaschke and S Khanmohamadi
A recent solution of the hyperon puzzle by a first order phase transition to color superconducting quark matter is revisited in order to replace the Maxwell construction by an interpolation method which describes a mixed phase. To do this, we apply for the first time the finite-range polynomial interpolation method for constructing a transition between hadronic and quark matter phases to the situation
