Abstract

The excited hyperon $Λ(1405)$ is the important building block for kaonic nuclei which are nuclear many-body system with anti-kaons. We have been investigating the $Λ(1405)$ resonance with the coupled-channel Complex Scaling Method (ccCSM) in which the $Λ(1405)$ is treated as a hadron-molecular state of a $\bar{K}N$-$πΣ$ coupled system. We use a $\bar{K}N$(-$πY$) potential based on the chiral SU(3) theory. In this article, we report the double-pole nature of the $Λ(1405)$, which is a characteristic property predicted by many studies with chiral SU(3)-based models. With the help of the complex-range Gaussian basis in ccCSM, we have found successfully another pole besides a pole near the $\bar{K}N$ threshold (called higher pole) which was found in our previous work with the real-range Gaussian basis. The new pole (called lower pole) is found far below $\bar{K}N$ threshold: $(M, -Γ/2)=(1395, -138)$ MeV when $f_π=110$ MeV. In spite of so broad width of the lower-pole state, the state is clearly identified with good separation from continuum states, since the oscillatory behavior of the continuum states is improved owing to the complex-range Gaussian basis. Analyzing the ccCSM wave function of the lower pole, we have revealed explicitly that the lower-pole state is dominated by the $πΣ$ component rather than the $\bar{K}N$ component. We have confirmed that the ccCSM wave function is correctly connected to the asymptotic form of the resonance wave function. We have estimated the meson-baryon mean distance for the lower-pole state as well as for the higher-pole state. In addition, we have investigated the origin of the appearance of the lower pole. The lower pole is confirmed to be generated by the energy dependence attributed to the chiral dynamics, by comparing the result of an energy-independent potential.

Intertwined quantum phase transitions in the even-even $^{90-100}$Sr isotopes

The even-even $^{90-100}$Sr isotopes are identified as a region of intertwined quantum phase transitions (IQPTs). In this scenario, a quantum phase transition involving the crossing of normal and intruder configurations is accompanied by a shape evolution within the intruder configuration. Using the interacting boson model with configuration mixing (IBM-CM), its is shown that the strontium chain exhibits the IQPT scenario, where the intruder configuration evolves from a near-spherical structure in $^{90\text{--}96}$Sr to a deformed one in $^{98,100}$Sr, while the normal and intruder configurations cross between $^{96}$Sr and $^{98}$Sr. As a result, the ground state changes abruptly from a weakly collective normal configuration to a deformed intruder configuration. Evidence for this scenario is provided by a detailed comparison with experimental excitation energies, isotope shifts, and monopole $E0$ transition strengths, together with the configuration and $n_d$ decompositions of the calculated wave functions. The results place the strontium isotopes alongside the neighboring zirconium chain as a realization of IQPTs in the intricate $A\approx100$ region.

Imprints of the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition on net-baryon number fluctuations

We investigate net-baryon number fluctuations in the high-density, low-temperature region of the QCD phase diagram using the parity-doublet model (PDM) under the mean-field approximation. We compute the fluctuation ratios up to sixth order around the nuclear liquid-gas (LG) phase transition, where the high-order ratios are particularly sensitive. To connect the results with heavy-ion experiments, we test several different scenarios of chemical freeze-out. We find that near the LG transition the extracted fluctuations depend strongly on the choice of freeze-out curve. We self-consistently determine four freeze-out points from preliminary results of the STAR Collaboration. Comparing the experimental data with the PDM results along these four points, we find that the model describes the low energy ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}\lesssim$ 4 GeV) data well. This suggests that nucleon interactions and the LG phase transition may contribute significantly to the fluctuations in low energy heavy-ion collisions.

Strangeness Production in Heavy-Ion Collisions: Color Ropes or Hydrodynamic Evolution?

We investigate strangeness production and transverse dynamics in heavy-ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}\approx 2.5-20~\mathrm{GeV}$ using the transport approach SMASH (Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting Hadrons), its extension with rope hadronization, and the SMASH+vHLLE hybrid approach. Results from the Pythia-based heavy-ion model Angantyr, with and without rope hadronization, are included for comparison. We study midrapidity particle yields and average transverse masses as functions of the number of wounded nucleons, as well as their energy dependence. For the $K^+/π^+$ ratio, SMASH+vHLLE overpredicts strangeness production at low energies but describes the higher-energy behavior reasonably well. SMASH+Ropes reproduces the ratio up to $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}\sim 10~\mathrm{GeV}$ but does not capture the turnover at higher energies. In contrast, the transverse-mass observables favor the hybrid approach, while the non-thermal models considered here do not generate sufficient collective transverse expansion. These results show that strangeness enhancement alone does not uniquely distinguish microscopic string interactions from a locally equilibrated medium. Simultaneously constraining strangeness production and transverse dynamics is therefore essential for disentangling thermal and non-thermal mechanisms in heavy-ion collisions.
