Anomalous large-angle $α$-scattering in a single-folding model with microscopic densities

We investigate anomalous large-angle scattering (ALAS) of $α$-particles from $N=Z$ nuclei within the framework of the single-folding model. Differential cross sections are calculated by folding the $α$-nucleon interaction with nuclear density distributions obtained from both relativistic and non-relativistic mean-field models. The folding procedure employs a Gaussian-form $α$-nucleon interaction, with its energy dependence and range constrained by previous theoretical studies. Our results show that ALAS in $sd$-shell nuclei is reasonably well reproduced using the microscopic densities together with an $α$-nucleon interaction characterized by a unified parameter set, in which only two parameters vary with the mass number.

Hysteresis in the T=0 RFIM: beyond metastable dynamics

We present a numerical study of the zero-temperature response of the Gaussian random-field Ising model (RFIM) to a slowly varying external field, allowing the system to be trapped in microscopic configurations that are not fully metastable. This modification of the standard single-spin-flip dynamics results in an increase of dissipation (hysteresis) somewhat similar to that observed with a finite driving rate. We then study the distribution of avalanches along the hysteresis loop and perform a finite-size scaling analysis that shows good evidence that the critical exponents associated to the disorder-induced phase transition are not modified.
