Approximating Grassmann valued path integrals with radial basis function neural networks

Solving path integrals in quantum field theories often involves the numerical handling of noncommuting Grassmann fields, which is in many cases a highly nontrivial and numerically inefficient task, especially in large systems and at higher dimensions. In this paper a radial basis function type neural network construction is used to approximate fermionic path integrals that include local couplings in their hopping terms. By isolating the interaction terms from the purely fermionic components using a radial basis function expansion, the path integral can be approximated by a few percent accuracy even for very large lattice sizes. The method has been developed and tested using staggered fermions in one, and in two dimensions, through calculating the partition functions, and expectation values.

Fixed-energy inverse scattering with radial basis function neural networks and its application to neutron-alpha interactions

This paper proposes a data-driven method to solve the fixed-energy inverse scattering problem for radially symmetric potentials using radial basis function (RBF) neural networks in an open-loop control system. The method estimates the scattering potentials in the Fourier domain by training an appropriate number of RBF networks, while the control step is carried out in the coordinate space by using the measured phase shifts as control parameters. The system is trained by both finite and singular input potentials and is capable of modeling a great variety of scattering events. The method is applied to neutron-alpha scattering at 10 MeV incident neutron energy, where the underlying central part of the potential is estimated by using the measured l = 0, 1, 2 phase shifts as inputs. The obtained potential is physically sensible, and the recalculated phase shifts are within a few percent relative error.

Production cross sections of tetraquark states in elementary hadronic collisions

Inclusive production cross sections of the possible exotic state X(3872) in proton-proton, pionp-roton and proton-antiproton collisions are calculated using a statistical based model, which is previously used to describe inclusive charmed and bottomed hadron production cross sections in the low energy region. With the extensions made here, the model is capable to include tetraquarks as well, using the diquark picture of tetraquarks. The evaluated cross section ratio of $Ψ(2S)$ and $X(3872)$ at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV agrees well with the measured value.

Charmed and bottomed hadronic cross sections from a statistical model

In this work, we extended our statistical model with charmed and bottomed hadrons, and fit the quark creational probabilities for the heavy quarks, using low energy inclusive charmonium and bottomonium data. With the finalized fit for all the relevant types of quarks (up, down, strange, charm, bottom) at the energy range from a few GeV up to a few tens of GeV's, the model is now considered complete. Some examples are also given for proton-proton, pion-proton, and proton-antiproton collisions with charmonium, bottomonium, and open charm hadrons in the final state.

A statistical model to calculate inclusive hadronic cross sections

Hadronic cross sections are important ingredients in many of the ongoing research methods in high-energy nuclear physics, and it is always important to measure and/or calculate the probabilities of different types of reactions. In heavy-ion transport simulations at a few GeV energies, these hadronic cross sections are essential and so far mostly the exclusive processes are used, however, if one interested in total production rates the inclusive cross sections are also necessary to know. In this paper, we introduce a statistical-based method, which is able to give good estimates to exclusive and inclusive cross sections as well in the energy range of a few GeV. The method and its estimates for not well-known cross sections, will be used in a Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) type off-shell transport code to explain charmonium and bottomonium mass shifts in heavy-ion collisions.

Analytical and numerical modelling of ballistic heat conduction observed in heat pulse experiments

Among the three heat conduction modes, the ballistic propagation is the most difficult to model. In the present paper, we discuss its physical interpretations and showing different alternatives to its modeling. We highlight two of them: a thermo-mechanical model in which the generalized heat equation - the so-called Maxwell-Cattaneo-Vernotte equation - is coupled to thermal expansion. At the same time, the other one uses internal variables. For the first one, we developed a numerical solution and tested on the heat pulse experiment performed by McNelly et al.~on NaF samples. For the second one, we found an analytical solution that emphasizes the role of boundary conditions. This analytical method is used to validate the earlier developed numerical code.

A statistical method to estimate low-energy hadronic cross sections

In this article we propose a model based on the Statistical Bootstrap approach to estimate the cross sections of different hadronic reactions up to a few GeV in c.m.s energy. The method is based on the idea, when two particles collide a so called fireball is formed, which after a short time period decays statistically into a specific final state. To calculate the probabilities we use a phase space description extended with quark combinatorial factors and the possibility of more than one fireball formation. In a few simple cases the probability of a specific final state can be calculated analytically, where we show that the model is able to reproduce the ratios of the considered cross sections. We also show that the model is able to describe proton\,-\,antiproton annihilation at rest. In the latter case we used a numerical method to calculate the more complicated final state probabilities. Additionally, we examined the formation of strange and charmed mesons as well, where we used existing data to fit the relevant model parameters.
