Non-uniform phases in a three-flavour 't Hooft extended Nambu-Jona--Lasinio model

The possible existence of non-uniform phases in cold dense quark matter in the light quark sector ($u$, $d$ and $s$) is addressed using the Nambu-Jona--Lasinio Model extended to include flavour-mixing 't Hooft determinant. The effect of changes in the coupling strengths of the model is discussed. It is seen that the inclusion of the strange sector catalyses the appearance of these non-uniform phases extending the domain for their appearance.

The $T-μ$ phase diagram of the NJL model in the presence of explicit symmetry-breaking interactions

It is shown that the strange quark mass undergoes a first order transition in a generalized 3 flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) Lagrangian which includes a complete set of explicit chiral symmetry breaking interactions. This transition occurs in a moderate chemical potential region $μ\sim 400$ MeV, in addition to the usual chiral transition associated with the light quark sector. This favors the formation of stable strange quark matter at chemical potentials which are considerably lower than the ones discussed in the literature. The reason for this behavior is discussed.

The 3 flavor NJL with explicit symmetry breaking interactions: scalar and pseudoscalar spectra and decays

The effective quark interactions that break explicitly the chiral SU(3)_L X SU(3)_R and U_A(1) symmetries by current-quark mass source terms are considered in NLO in $N_c$ counting. They are of the same order as the 't Hooft flavor determinant and the eight quark interactions that extend the LO Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian, and complete the set of non-derivative and spin 0 interactions relevant for the $N_c$ scheme. The bosonized Lagrangian at meson tree level describes accurately the empirical ordering and magnitude of the splitting of states in the low lying pseudoscalar and scalar meson nonets, for which the explicit symmetry breaking terms turn out to be essential. The strong interaction and radiative decays of the scalar mesons are understood in terms of the underlying microscopic multi-quark states, which are probed differently by the strong and the electromagnetic interactions. We also obtain that the anomalous two photon decays of the pseudoscalars are in very good agreement with data.

Measurement of $J/ψ\toγη_{\rm c}$ decay rate and $η_{\rm c}$ parameters at KEDR

Using the inclusive photon spectrum based on a data sample collected at the $J/ψ$ peak with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider, we measured the rate of the radiative decay $J/ψ\toγη_{\rm c}$ as well as $η_{\rm c}$ mass and width. Taking into account an asymmetric photon lineshape we obtained $Γ^0_{γη_{\rm c}}=2.98\pm0.18 \phantom{|}^{+0.15}_{-0.33}$ keV, $M_{η_{\rm c}} = 2983.5 \pm 1.4 \phantom{|}^{+1.6}_{-3.6}$ MeV/$c^2$, $Γ_{η_{\rm c}} = 27.2 \pm 3.1 \phantom{|}^{+5.4}_{-2.6}$ MeV.

Anisotropic 2D Larkin-Imry-Ma state in polar distorted ABM phase of 3He in "nematically ordered" aerogel

We present results of experiments in superfluid phases of 3He confined in aerogel which strands are nearly parallel to one another. High temperature superfluid phases of 3He in this aerogel (ESP1 and ESP2) are chiral phases and have polar distorted ABM order parameter which orbital part forms 2D Larkin-Imry-Ma state. We demonstrate that this state can be anisotropic if the aerogel is squeezed in direction transverse to the strands. Values of this anisotropy in ESP1 and ESP2 phases are different, what leads to different NMR properties.

Effective Lagrangian approach to multi-quark interactions

In this workshop we have presented the results obtained in the three-flavour ($N_f=3$) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model Lagrangian which includes all non-derivative vertices at NLO in the $1/N_c$ expansion of spin zero multi-quark interactions. In particular the role played by the explicit chiral symmetry breaking interactions has been discussed in comparison with previous model Lagrangians.

Measurement of the ratio of the leptonic widths $Γ_{ee}/Γ_{μμ}$ for the $J/ψ$ meson

The ratio of the electron and muon widths of the $J/ψ$ meson has been measured using direct $J/ψ$ decays in the KEDR experiment at the VEPP-4M electron-positron collider. The result $Γ_{ee}(J/ψ)/Γ_{μμ}(J/ψ)=1.0022\pm0.0044\pm0.0048\ (0.65\%)$ is in good agreement with the lepton universality. The experience collected during this analysis will be used for a $J/ψ$ lepton width determination with up to 1% accuracy.

Nonuniform phases in a three-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model

It is shown that flavor mixing of the strange and light quarks allows for existence of a much larger baryonic chemical potential window for the formation of a stable dual chiral-wave state as compared to the well known two flavor case. In addition, strangeness catalyzes the occurrence of a new branch of non-homogeneous solutions at moderate densities. This case study is addressed at zero temperature within the SU(3) flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the 't Hooft determinantal flavor mixing interaction. The modulation of the chiral condensates in the light quark sector is taken to be one-dimensional, while strangeness is embedded as a homogeneous condensate in the spontaneously broken phase of chiral symmetry. A finite current quark mass for the strange quark is incorporated, while the up and down current masses are set to zero. In that case the modulation considered provides an exact analytic solution for the system. Despite the simplicity of the \textit{ansatz}, the emerging phase diagram displays a very rich structure.

Effective multi-quark interactions with explicit breaking of chiral symmetry

In a long distance Lagrangian approach to the low lying meson phenomenology we present and discuss the most general spin zero multi-quark interaction vertices of non-derivative type which include a set of effective interactions proportional to the current quark masses, breaking explicitely the chiral SU(3)_L X SU(3)_R and U_A(1) symmetries. These vertices are of the sameorder in Nc counting as the 't Hooft flavor determinant interaction and the 8 quark interactions which extend the original leading in Nc four quark interaction Lagrangian of Nambu and Jona-Lasinio. The Nc assignements match the counting rules based on arguments set by the scale of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. With path integral bosonization techniques which take appropriately into account the quark mass differences we derive the mesonic Lagrangian up to 3-point mesonic vertices. We demonstrate that explicit symmetry breaking effects in interactions are essential to obtain the correct empirical ordering and magnitude of the splitting of certain states such as m_K < m_eta for the pseudoscalars and m{kappa(800)} < m{a0(980)} m{f0(980)} in the scalar sector, and achieve total agreement with the empirical low lying meson mass spectra. With all parameters of the model fixed by the spectra we analyze further a bulk of two body decays at tree level of the bosonic Lagrangian: the strong decays of the scalars sigma->pi pi, f0->pi pi, kappa->pi K, a0(980)->pi eta, as well as the two photon decays of a0, f0 and sigma mesons and the anomalous decays of the pseudoscalars {pi,eta,eta'}-> 2 photons. Our results for the strong decays are within the current expectations and the pseudoscalar radiative decays are in very good agreement with data. The radiative decays of the scalars are smaller than the observed values for the f0 and the sigma, but reasonable for the a0. A detailed discussion accompanies all the results.

Optical properties of a disordered metallic film: local vs. collective phenomena

We apply the dual-varibles approach to the problem of the optical response of an disordered film of metal particles with dipole-dipole interaction. Long range dipole-dipole interaction makes the effect of spatial correlations significant, so that dual-variables technique provides a desirable improvement of the coherent-potential results. It is shown that the effect of nonlocality is more pronounced for a medium-range concentration of the particles. The result is compared with the non-local cluster approach. It is shown that short-range correlations accounted in the cluster method reveal themselves in the spectral properties of the response, whereas long-range phenomena kept in the dual technique are more pronounced in the k-dependence of the Green's function.

Role of current quark mass dependent multi-quark interactions in low lying meson mass spectra

We call attention to a class of current-quark mass dependent multi-quark interaction terms which break explicitly the chiral $SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$ and $U_A(1)$ symmetries. They complete the set of effective quark interactions that contribute at the same order in $N_c$ as the 't Hooft flavor determinant interaction and the eight quark interactions in the phase of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry. The $N_c$ classification scheme matches the counting rules based on arguments set by the scale of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. Together with the leading in $N_c$ four quark Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian and current quark mass matrix, the model is apt to account for the correct empirical ordering and magnitude of the splitting of states in the low lying mass spectra of spin zero mesons. The new terms turn out to be essential for the ordering $m_K < m_η$ in the pseudoscalar sector and $m_{κ_0} < m_{a_0}\sim m_{f0}$ for the scalars.

Light Quark Masses in Multi-Quark Interactions

We suggest and discuss in detail a multi-quark three flavor Lagrangian of the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio type, which includes a set of effective interactions proportional to the current quark masses. It is shown that within the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking regime, the masses of the pseudo Goldstone bosons and their chiral partners, members of the low lying scalar nonet, are in perfect agreement with current phenomenological expectations. The role of the new interactions is analyzed.

Observables in the 3 Flavor PNJL Model and their Relation to Eight Quark Interactions

Several relevant thermodynamic observables obtained within the (2+1) flavor and spin zero NJL and PNJL models with inclusion of the 't Hooft determinant and $8q$ interactions are compared with lattice-QCD (lQCD) results. In the case that a small ratio $R=\frac{μ_B}{T_c}\sim 3$ at the critical end point (CEP) associated with the hadron gas to quark-gluon plasma transition is considered, combined with fits to the lQCD data of the trace anomaly[1], subtracted light quark condensate[1] and continuum extrapolated data of the light quark chiral condensate[2], a reasonable description for the PNJL model is obtained with a strength $g_1\sim 5...6 \times 10^3$ GeV$^{-8}$ of the $8q$ interactions. The dependence on the further model parameters is discussed.

Measurement of ψ(3770) parameters

We report the final results of a study of the ψ(3770) meson using a data sample collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M electron-positron collider. The data analysis takes into account the interference between the resonant and nonresonant $D\bar{D}$ production, where the latter is related to the nonresonant part of the energy-dependent form factor $F_D$. The vector dominance approach and several empirical parameterizations have been tried for the nonresonant $F_D^{\NR}(s)$. Our results for the mass and total width of ψ(3770) are M = 3779.2 ^{+1.8}_{-1.7} ^{+0.5}_{-0.7} ^{+0.3}_{-0.3} MeV, Γ=24.9 ^{+4.6}_{-4.0} ^{+0.5}_{-0.6} ^{+0.2}_{-0.9} MeV, where the first, second and third uncertainties are statistical, systematic and model, respectively. For the electron partial width two possible solutions have been found: (1) Γ_{ee} = 154 ^{+79}_{-58} ^{+17}_{-9} ^{+13}_{-25} eV, (2) Γ_{ee} = 414 ^{+72}_{-80} ^{+24}_{-26} ^{+90}_{-10} eV. Our statistics are insufficient to prefer one solution to another. The solution (2) mitigates the problem of non-$D\bar{D}$ decays but is disfavored by potential models. It is shown that taking into account the resonance--continuum interference in the near-threshold region affects resonance parameters, thus the results presented can not be directly compared with the corresponding PDG values obtained ignoring this effect.

Phase diagram of superfluid 3He in "nematically ordered" aerogel

Results of experiments with liquid 3He immersed in a new type of aerogel are described. This aerogel consists of Al2O3 strands which are nearly parallel to each other, so we call it as a "nematically ordered" aerogel. At all used pressures a superfluid transition was observed and a superfluid phase diagram was measured. Possible structures of the observed superfluid phases are discussed.

Measurement of main parameters of the ψ(2S) resonance

A high-precision determination of the main parameters of the ψ(2S) resonance has been performed with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e^{+}e^{-} collider in three scans of the ψ(2S) -- ψ(3770) energy range. Fitting the energy dependence of the multihadron cross section in the vicinity of the ψ(2S) we obtained the mass value M = 3686.114 +- 0.007 +- 0.011 ^{+0.002}_{-0.012} MeV and the product of the electron partial width by the branching fraction into hadrons Γ_{ee}*B_{h} = 2.233 +- 0.015 +- 0.037 +- 0.020 keV. The third error quoted is an estimate of the model dependence of the result due to assumptions on the interference effects in the cross section of the single-photon e^{+}e^{-} annihilation to hadrons explicitly considered in this work. Implicitly, the same assumptions were employed to obtain the charmonium leptonic width and the absolute branching fractions in many experiments. Using the result presented and the world average values of the electron and hadron branching fractions, one obtains the electron partial width and the total width of the ψ(2S): Γ_{ee} =2.282 +- 0.015 +- 0.038 +- 0.021 keV, Γ= 296 +- 2 +- 8 +- 3 keV. These results are consistent with and more than two times more precise than any of the previous experiments.
