Elastic pbar-d scattering and total pbar-d cross sections reexamined

Abstract

We update our recent analysis of pbar-d scattering, performed within the Glauber theory including the single- and double pbar-N scattering mechanisms. Specifically, now we consider also Nbar-N amplitudes from a new partial-wave analysis of pbar-p scattering data. Predictions for differential cross sections and the spin observables A_y^d, A_y^pbar, A_xx, A_yy are presented for antiproton beam energies between 50 and 300 MeV. Total polarized cross sections are calculated utilizing the optical theorem. The efficiency of the polarization buildup for antiprotons in a storage ring is investigated.

Qcombo: A Python Package for Automated Commutator Calculations of Quantum Many-Body Operators

qcombo is a Python package for the symbolic evaluation of commutators between general quantum many-body operators expressed in normal-ordered form using the generalized Wick theorem. The package provides an automated and systematic framework for generating the corresponding algebraic expressions, significantly reducing the risk of human error in lengthy and complex analytical derivations. It is designed to assist the development and implementation of modern many-body methods in nuclear physics, quantum chemistry, and related fields. The functionality and workflow of the package are demonstrated through an application to the in-medium similarity renormalization group (IMSRG) method, which has been widely used for nuclear ab initio calculations. As a representative example, qcombo is employed to automatically generate the complete set of multi-reference IMSRG flow equations with operators truncated at the normal-ordered three-body level.

Intruder-driven mirror energy differences between $^{29}$Cl and $^{29}$Mg studied with antisymmetrized molecular dynamics

To clarify the mirror energy differences (MEDs) of the proton-unbound nucleus $^{29}$Cl and their microscopic origins, we investigate the low-lying states of the $^{29}$Cl-$^{29}$Mg mirror pair using antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The calculation reasonably reproduces the normal and intruder states of $^{29}$Mg, while suggesting alternative spin-parity assignments for $^{29}$Cl. The $1/2^+$ and $3/2^+$ states are predicted to form a nearly degenerate ground-state doublet with a small MED because of their similar intrinsic structures. In contrast, the $3/2^-$ and $7/2^-$ intruder states exhibit large negative MEDs and are assigned to the observed resonances at approximately 500~keV and 1.1~MeV, respectively. Their large MEDs originate from the reduced Coulomb energies associated with the stronger deformation and spatially extended proton distributions in the intruder configurations.

Advancing Nuclear Physics with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming powerful tools in scientific research across various disciplines. In this review, we summarize recent progress in AI-assisted studies of nuclear structure and reaction observables, heavy-ion collisions and dense nuclear matter properties, many-body wave functions, experimental facilities and data analysis. This review focus on new progress since the last review in 2023, and machine learning in nuclear physics is evolving from purely data inferences to physics informed learning. Future directions on the integration of physical knowledge with modern learning architectures, large foundation models and other emerging methods are also reviewed. These developments suggest that AI is enabling and advancing new approaches towards most challenging nuclear physics problems.
