Possible Existence of $^3_\phi$H, $^4_\phi$H, $^4_\phi$He, and $^5_\phi$He Nuclei

Motivated by recent HAL QCD simulations of the $\phi N$ interaction in the $^4S_{3/2}$ channel and its modification in the $^2S_{1/2}$ channel, we develop a first-principles few-body framework that embeds these potentials into configuration-space Faddeev--Yakubovsky equations. We predict bound $^4_\phi\mathrm{H}$, $^4_\phi\mathrm{He}$, and $^5_\phi\mathrm{He}$ nuclei by performing calculations for $\phi$-mesic $\phi NNN$ and $\phi NNNN$ systems. Both spin-dependent and spin-independent $\phi N$ interactions are considered, leading to deeply and moderately bound states, respectively. The deeply bound states originate from the strong attraction in the $^2S_{1/2}$ $\phi N$ channel. Coulomb shifts of the binding energies are evaluated. Our findings provide the binding mechanism and demonstrate the importance of short-range $\phi N$ attraction.

Bound States of $\Omega$ Baryons in Light Nuclei

We investigate bound states of light $\Omega_{3x}$-clusters ($x = s, c$), motivated by the $\Omega_{3s}N$ potential recently developed by the HAL QCD collaboration. To regularize this potential, we remove the deeply attractive core at $r < 0.4~\mathrm{fm}$ and parametrize the long-range component ($r > 0.4~\mathrm{fm}$) using a two-range Gaussian form. This procedure preserves the relevant two-body bound state energy while having a negligible effect on the $\Omega_{3s}NN$ and $\Omega_{3s}\Omega_{3s}N$ systems. An effective $\Omega_{3s}\alpha$ potential is then constructed by fitting a two-range Gaussian function to the long-range component of the folding potential, enabling calculations of the bound state energies of the $\Omega_{3s}\alpha$, $\Omega_{3s}\alpha\alpha$, and $\Omega_{3s}\Omega_{3s}\alpha$ systems. The regularization procedure leads to a substantial reduction in bound state energies compared to those obtained with the original potential. We further extend the analysis to $\Omega_{3c}$-cluster systems by introducing an $\Omega_{3c}N$ interaction, derived by comparing the existing $\Omega_{3s}\Omega_{3s}$ and $\Omega_{3c}\Omega_{3c}$ potentials. Our results suggest that several parametrizations predict bound states in $\Omega_{3c}$-containing clusters. Finally, the $\Omega_{3s}\Omega_{3s}$ interaction is described using a contact-like potential approach, motivated by the effective field theory.

On $\Omega_{3c}NN$ and $\Omega_{3c} \Omega_{3c} N$ systems with HAL QCD potentials

This study employs the Faddeev formalism in configuration space to investigate the $\Omega_{3c}NN$ cluster containing a triply charmed Omega baryon ($\Omega_{3c}$). Using the recently reported HAL QCD $S$-wave $\Omega_{3c}N$ potentials in the $^3S_1$ and $^5S_2$ channels, together with the MT-I--III nucleon--nucleon potential and neglecting the Coulomb force, we find no bound state for the $\Omega_{3c}np$ system. We predict near-threshold resonances in the $J^{\pi}=5/2^{+}$ (maximal total spin) and $J^{\pi}=1/2^{+}$ (minimal total spin) states, with resonance energies of $1.1~\mathrm{MeV}$ below and $0.0~\mathrm{MeV}$ at the three-body breakup threshold, respectively, at Euclidean time $t/a = 16$. A similar analysis of the $\Omega_{3c}\Omega_{3c}N$ system likewise reveals no bound states, though a possible resonance is indicated. The short-distance behavior of the HAL QCD $\Omega_{3c}N$ potential is also discussed.

Folding procedure for $\Omega$-$\alpha$ potential

Using the folding procedure, we investigate the bound state of the $\Omega$+$\alpha$ system based on $\Omega$-$N$ ($^{5}S_{2}$) HAL QCD potential. Previous theoretical analyses have indicated the existence of a deeply bound ground state, which is attributed to the strong $\Omega$-nucleon interaction. By employing well-established parameterizations of nucleon density within the alpha particle, and the central HAL QCD $\Omega$-$N$ potential, we performed numerical calculations for the folding $\Omega$-$\alpha$ potential. Our results show that the $V_{\Omega\alpha}(r)$ potential can be accurately fitted using a Woods-Saxon function, with a phenomenological parameter $R = 1.1A^{1/3} \approx 1.74$ fm ($A=4$) in the asymptotic region where $2 < r < 3$ fm. We provide a thorough description of the corresponding numerical procedure. Our evaluation of the binding energy of the $\Omega$+$\alpha$ system within the cluster model is consistent with both previous and recent reported findings. To further validate the folding procedure, we also calculated the $\Xi$-$\alpha$ folding potential based on a simulation of the ESC08c $Y$-$N$ Nijmegen model. A comprehensive comparison between the $\Xi$-$\alpha$ folding and $\Xi$-$ \alpha$ phenomenological potentials is presented and discussed.

Bound states of $^{9}_{\phi}$Be and $^{6}_{\phi\phi}$He nuclei with $\phi$+$\alpha$+$\alpha$ and $\phi$+$\phi$+$\alpha$ cluster models

We investigate the $^{9}_{\phi}$Be and $^{6}_{\phi\phi}$He $\phi$ mesic nuclei within the framework of the three-body cluster model as the $\phi$+$\alpha$+$\alpha$ and $\phi$+$\phi$+$\alpha$ systems, using the Faddeev formalism in configuration space. The $\phi$-$\alpha$ potential is determined through a folding procedure of the HAL QCD $\phi$-$N$ interaction in the $^4S_{3/2}$ channel with the matter distribution of $^4$He. The phenomenological $\alpha$-$\alpha$ and $\phi$-$\phi$ potentials are taken from the literature. Additionally, we construct a Wood-Saxon (WS) type interaction to simulate the $\phi$-$\alpha$ potential, also taken from the literature, based on an effective Lagrangian approach that includes $K\bar{K}$ meson loops in the $\phi$-meson self-energy. A comparison of binding energies obtained for both types of the $\phi$-$\alpha$ interactions reveals qualitative agreement. %between the obtained approaches. We predict the binding energy for the $^{9}_{\phi}$Be and $^{6}_{\phi\phi}$He $\phi$ mesic nuclei as the mirror $\phi$+$\alpha$+$\alpha$ and $\phi$+$\phi$+$\alpha$ systems in the range of 1-11 MeV and 3-10 MeV, respectively. The range of values of the binding energies relies on the choice of the WS $\phi$-$\alpha$ interaction parameters.

On a possible $^{3}_{\phi}$H hypernucleus with HAL QCD interaction

Within the framework of the Faddeev formalism in configuration space, we investigate bound states in the $\phi NN$ system with total isospin $T=0$ and $T=1$. The recently proposed lattice HAL QCD $\phi N$ potential in the $^{4}S_{3/2}$ channel does not support either $\phi N$ or $\phi NN$ bound states. The HAL QCD $\phi N$ potential in the $^{2}S_{1/2}$ channel suggests the bound states for $\phi N$ and $\phi NN (S=0)$ systems. However, the binding energies are highly sensitive to variations of the enhancement factor $\beta$, and the $\phi NN$ system is extremely strongly bound in the state $S=0$. Considering a spin-averaged potential %$(\frac{1}{3}V_{\phi N}^{1/2}+\frac{2}{3}V_{\phi N}^{3/2})$ for the state $S=1$ yields a bound state for $^3_\phi$H $(S=1)$ hypernucleus with the binding energy (BE) 14.9 MeV when $\beta = 6.9$. The evaluation of the BE for the $S=1$, $T=1$ three-body state results in 5.47 MeV. %Also, We evaluated the BE for the $S=1$, $T=1$ three-body state as 5.47 MeV. Additionally, calculations using our approach confirm the bound states for the $\phi NN$ ($S=2,T=0$ and $S=1, T=1$) system previously predicted with the Yukawa-type potential motivated by the QCD van der Waals attractive force, mediated by multi-gluon exchanges.

The charge and mass symmetry breaking in the $KK\bar{K}$ system

In the framework of the Faddeev equations in configuration space, we investigate the $K$(1460) meson as a resonant state of the $KK\bar{K}$ kaonic system. We perform calculations for the particle configurations $K^{0}K^{+}K^{-}$ and $K^{0}K^{+}\overline{{K}^{0}}$ within two models: the $ABC $ model, in which all three particles are distinguishable, and the $AAC$ model when two particles are identical. The models differ in their treatment of the kaon mass difference and the attractive Coulomb force between the $K^{+}K^{-}$ pair. We found that the Coulomb shift adds over 1 MeV to the three-body binding energy. The expected correction to the binding energy due to mass redistribution from $AA$ to $AB$ is found to be negligible, up to a maximum of 6\% of the relative mass correction. At the same time, the symmetry of the wave function is distorted depending on the mass ratio value. We found that the repulsive $KK$ interaction plays essential role in the binding energy of the $KK\bar K$ system and report the mass of 1461.8 or 1464.1 MeV for the neutral $K^{0}$(1460) and 1466.5 or 1468.8 MeV for the charged $K^{+}$(1460) resonances, respectively, depending on the parameter sets for $KK$ and $K\bar{K}$ interactions.

Effective Mass of $\alpha$-Cluster in $^{12}$C Nucleus

Based on the effective-mass concept, we perform the Faddeev calculations for a low-lying spectrum of 3$\alpha$ states in $^{12}$C nucleus. A three-body potential is used to describe the known breaking of the 3$\alpha$-cluster structure in the nucleus. We show that the contribution of the three-body potential to the Hamiltonian can be compensated by increasing/decreasing the $\alpha$-particle free mass. The effective-mass values are adjusted so that to reproduce the experimental data for the $^{12}$C nucleus. The energy dependence of the effective mass and the correlation to a three-body potential are discussed. We show that the coupling between the $0^+$ ($2^+$) levels forms a specific picture of anti-crossing on the energy/effective-mass plane.

Particle configurations in the $NN\bar K$ system

Three-body $AAB$ model for the $NN{\bar K}(s_{NN}=0)$ kaonic cluster is considered based on the configuration space Faddeev equations. Within a single-channel approach, the difference between masses of nucleons and kaons and the charge independence breaking of nucleon-nucleon interaction are taken into consideration. We definite the particle configurations in the system according to the particle masses and pair potentials. There are two sets of the particle configurations, $ ppK^-$, $np \bar{K^0}$ and $nn {\bar K}^0$, $npK^-$, charged and neutral. The three-body calculations are performed by applying $NN$ and $N\bar K$ phenomenological isospin-dependent potentials. The mass and energy spectra related to the particle configurations are presented. We evaluate the mass and energy uncertainties for the $NN\bar K$ model. An analogy to $NNN$ model for the $^3$H and $^3$He nuclei is proposed.

On Binding Energy of Trions in Bulk Materials

We study the negatively $T^{-}$ and positively $T^{+}$ charged trions in bulk materials in the effective mass approximation within the framework of a potential model. The binding energies of trions in various semiconductors are calculated by employing Faddeev equation in configuration space. Results of calculations of the binding energies for $T^{-}$ are consistent with previous computational studies and are in reasonable agreement with experimental measurements, while the $T^{+}$ is unbound for all considered cases. The mechanism of formation of the binding energy of trions is analysed by comparing contributions of a mass-polarization term related to kinetic energy operators and a term related to the Coulomb repulsion of identical particles.

Faddeev calculations for light $\Xi$-hypernuclei

The hypernuclear systems $NN\Xi $ and $\Xi\Xi N$ are considered as an analogue of $nnp$ ($^3$H) nuclear system (with the notation as $AAB$ system). We use the recently proposed modification for the $s$-wave Malfliet-Tjon potential. The modification simulates the Extended-Soft-Core model (ESC08c) for baryon-baryon interactions. The $\Xi N$ spin/isospin triplet $(S, I)=(1, 1)$ potential generates a bound state with the energy $B_2(AB)$=1.56~MeV. Three-body binding energy $B_3$ for the states with maximal total isospin is calculated employing the configuration-space Faddeev equations. Comparison with the results obtained within the integral representation for the equations is presented. The different types of the relation between $B_2$ and $B_3(V_{AA}=0)$ are discussed.

Disappearance of Quantum Chaos in Coupled Chaotic Quantum Dots

Statistical properties of the single electron levels confined in the semiconductor (InAs/GaAs, Si/SiO2) double quantum dots (DQDs) are considered. We demonstrate that in the electronically coupled chaotic quantum dots the chaos with its level repulsion disappears and the nearest neighbor level statistics becomes Poissonian. This result is discussed in the light of the recently predicted "huge conductance peak" by R.S. Whitney at al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 102}, 186802 (2009)) in the mirror symmetric DQDs.
