Abstract

We study the mixing of excited states of a Hydrogen atom in a cavity with de-excited states plus a confined photon as a model for the coupling of quark-antiquark and quark-antiquark-gluon hybrid states in QCD. For an interesting range of parameters, the results are analytic. We find a case for which wavefunctions (and hence decay patterns) may be at odds with mass with respect to identification of a state as hybrid or not.

Structure of the $^8$B and $^8$Li nuclei and the astrophysical $S_{17}(0)$-factor of the $^7$Be($p,γ$)$^8$B direct capture process within a three-body model

The structure of the ground $(2^+)$ and excited $(1^+)$ bound states of the $^8$B and $^8$Li nuclei is studied within the framework of the $α+^3$He($^3$H)+$p(n)$ three-body potential cluster model based on the hyperspherical Lagrange-mesh method. The two-body realistic potentials have been applied from the literature. Convergent theoretical estimates for the three-body binding energy and matter radius have been obtained with the maximal hypermomentum $K_{max}=22$ and 28 for the ground and excited $1^+$ states, respectively. The ANC value of the virtual transition of the $^8$B nucleus is estimated self-consistently by matching the overlap integral of the $^8$B three-body and the $^7$Be two-body wave functions with it's asymptotics. The obtained values are $0.211$~fm$^{-1/2}$ and $0.739$~fm$^{-1/2}$ in the spin 1 and spin 2 channels, respectively. For the ANC values of the $^8$Li nucleus the estimates $0.220$~fm$^{-1/2}$ and $0.774$~fm$^{-1/2}$ are extracted. The ratio $C^2(^8 {\rm B})/C^2(^8 {\rm Li})=0.912$ implies a breaking of the mirror symmetry of the strong nuclear forces of order 27\% due to the Coulomb interaction and the dynamical three-body effects. For the $S_{17}(0)$ -factor an estimate $22.492\pm0.014$ eV b was obtained based on the asymptotic theory developed by D. Baye [Phys. Rev. C {\bf 62},065803 (2000)]. The spin 2 channel contributes with $S^{(2)}_{17}(0)=20.838 \pm 0.014$ eV b, while the spin 1 channel yields $S^{(1)}_{17}(0)=1.654 \pm 0.003$ eV b. These results for $S_{17}(0)$ are in a good agreement with the estimate $20.8\pm0.7{\rm(th)}\pm1.4{\rm(exp)}$ eV b of the SF II, but larger than the recommended value $20.5\pm0.70$ eV b of the SF III. At the same time, our estimate is very close to the value 22.4 eV b used in the most successful Solar Model BAR2M [W.~Yang and Z.~Tian, AJ {\bf 970} (2024), 38].

Ab Initio Emergence and Collapse of Nuclear Collectivity near N = Z = 40

We present an \textit{ab initio} description of the emergence and collapse of enhanced quadrupole collectivity in nuclei near $N=Z=40$ using multi-shell valence-space Hamiltonians derived from chiral two- and three-nucleon forces with the in-medium similarity renormalization group. Projected generator-coordinate calculations with consistently evolved $E2$ operators capture the strong collectivity in $^{80}$Zr and its decrease toward $^{86}$Mo and $^{88}$Ru without empirical effective charges. While the $N,Z=40$ effective single-particle energy gaps remain open, the $1g_{9/2}$--$2d_{5/2}$ spacing is smallest near $^{76}$Sr and $^{80}$Zr, with its variation governed mainly by the proton-neutron monopole contribution. The associated occupancies are consistent with quadrupole correlations involving pseudo-SU(3) $pf$ holes and quasi-SU(3) particles. Excluding the occupation of the proton and neutron $2d_{5/2}$ from the variational space strongly suppresses the deformation and $B(E2;2_1^+\rightarrow0_1^+)$ in $^{80}$Zr. These results mark a steady step toward \textit{ab initio} computations of heavy open-shell nuclei.

The chiral filter

Thermal neutron capture on a proton, $np\to dγ$, is measured to a fraction of a percent; the impulse approximation misses nine percent of it. This article follows that gap through five decades of an idea of Mannque Rho's, the chiral filter. Chiral symmetry fixes the pion-exchange current that fills the gap, and power counting explains why nothing else competes. The missing nine percent becomes a prediction, correct within errors. On the unprotected side, one constant fixed by tritium beta decay predicted solar $pp$ fusion and the {\it hep} process; $g_A^*$ remains open.
