Quark-Hadron Duality and Parity Violating Asymmetry of Electroweak Reactions in the Delta Region

A dynamical model of electroweak pion production reactions in the Delta(1232) region has been extended to include the neutral current contributions for examining the local Quark-Hadron Duality in neutrino-induced reactions and for investigating how the axial N-Delta form factor can be determined by the parity violating asymmetry of N(\vec{e},e') reactions. We first show that the recent data of (e,e') structure functions F_1 and F_2, which exhibit the Quark-Hadron Duality, are in good agreement with our predictions. For possible future experimental tests, we then predict that the structure functions F_1, F_2, and F_3 for (ν,e) and (ν,ν') processes also show the similar Quark-Hadron Duality. The spin dependent structure functions g_1 and g_2 of (e,e') have also been calculated from our model. It is found that the local Quark-Hadron Duality is not seen in the calculated g_1 and g_2, while our results for g_1 and some polarization observables associated with the exclusive p(\vec{e},e' pi) and \vec{p}(\vec{e},e' pi) reactions are in reasonably good agreement with the recent data. In the investigation of parity violating asymmetry A of N(\vec{e},e') reactions, it is found that the non-resonant contribution is small at the Delta peak and a measurement of A can be used to distinguish two previously determined axial N-Delta transition form factors. The predicted asymmetry A are also compared with the Parton Model predictions for future experimental investigations of Quark-Hadron Duality.

Fermi surface evolution and Luttinger theorem in Na$_x$CoO$_2$: a systematic photoemission study

We report a systematic angle-resolved photoemission study on Na$_x$CoO$_2$ for a wide range of Na concentrations ($0.3 \leq x \leq 0.72$). In all the metallic samples at different $x$, we observed (i) only a single hole-like Fermi surface centered around $Γ$ and (ii) its area changes with $x$ according to the Luttinger theorem. We also observed a surface state that exhibits a larger Fermi surface area. The $e_g^\prime$ band and the associated small Fermi surface pockets near the $K$ points predicted by band calculations are found to ``sink'' below the Fermi energy in a manner almost independent of the doping and temperature.

Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy of the Antiferromagnetic Superconductor Nd1.87Ce0.13CuO4: Anisotropic Spin-Correlation Gap, Pseudogap, and the Induced Quasiparticle Mass Enhancement

We performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on Nd1.87Ce0.13CuO4, which is located at the boundary of the antiferromagnetic (AF) and the superconducting phase. We observed that the quasiparticle (QP) effective mass around (pi, 0) is strongly enhanced due to the opening of the AF gap. The QP mass and the AF gap are found to be anisotropic, with the largest value near the intersecting point of the Fermi surface and the AF zone boundary. In addition, we observed that the QP peak disappears around the Neel temperature (TN) while the AF pseudogap is gradually filled up at much higher temperatures, possibly due to the short-range AF correlation.

Direct Observation of Non-Monotonic dx2-y2-Wave Superconducting Gap in Electron-Doped High-Tc Superconductor Pr0.89LaCe0.11CuO4

We performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on electron-doped high-Tc superconductor Pr0.89LaCe0.11CuO4 to study the anisotropy of the superconducting gap. The observed momentum dependence is basically consistent with the dx2-y2-wave symmetry, but obviously deviates from the monotonic dx2-y2 gap function. The maximum gap is observed not at the zone boundary, but at the hot spot where the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation strongly couples to the electrons on the Fermi surface. The present experimental results unambiguously indicate the spin-mediated pairing mechanism in electron-doped high-Tc superconductors.

Dynamical Model of Electroweak Pion Production Reaction

The dynamical model of pion electroproduction developed by the authors has been extended to study the pion weak production reaction. The axial vector N-Delta transition form factor G_A^{NΔ} obtained from the analysis of existing neutrino reaction data and the role of dynamical pion cloud on G_A^{NΔ} are discussed.

Leading-order Corrections of a Dynamical Model for Electromagnetic Pion Production Reactions

By applying a unitary transformation method, we have derived the leading-order corrections on the effective Hamiltonian of a dynamical model developed in Phys. Rev. C54, 2660 (1996) for electromagnetic pion production reactions. The resulting energy-independent one-loop corrections on the baryon masses and the gamma N -> Delta vertex interaction are associated with the structure of the nucleon and Delta and have been calculated within a constituent quark model. We find that the one-loop corrections on the magnetic M1 transition of the gamma N -> Delta are very small, while their contributions to the electric E2 and Coulomb C2 transitions are found to be in opposite signs of that due to pion cloud effects associated with the scattering states. Our results further indicate that the determination of the nonspherical L=2 components of the constituent quark wavefunctions of N and Delta from the extracted empirical E2 and C2 form factors requires a rigorous and complete calculation of meson cloud effects. We also find that the one-loop corrections on the non-resonant pion production operator can resolve the difficulty in describing the near threshold gamma p -> pi^0 p reaction. Possible future developments are discussed.

Momentum anisotropy of the scattering rate in cuprate superconductors

We examine the momentum and energy dependence of the scattering rate of the high temperature cuprate superconductors using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The scattering rate is of the form a + bw around the Fermi surface for under and optimal doping. The inelastic coefficient "b" is found to be isotropic. The elastic term, "a", however, is found to be highly anisotropic for under and optimally doped samples, with an anisotropy which correlates with that of the pseudogap. This is contrasted with heavily overdoped samples, which show an isotropic scattering rate and an absence of the pseudogap above T_c. We find this to be a generic property for both single and double layer compounds.

PCAC Relation and Pion Production-Absorption in Nuclei

Nuclear PCAC relation is studied in the framework of the effective theory of nuclear interaction, in which the interaction of real pion production-absorption is expressed by many-body operators, and does not include the one-nucleon operator as was assumed in the conventional works, while the effective axial-vector current includes the one-nucleon current in contrast to the former interaction. This problem is investigated under the simple linear $σ$-model. Results are as folows: 1) The theory describes consistently the PCAC relation and the pion production-absorption process. 2) The conventional interpretation of the effective pion source function as the interaction Hamiltonian of pion production-absorption does not hold. 3) The effective pion source function still includes the one-nucleon operator for the pion production-absorption at threshold effectively, which may justify the conventional theory.

Fermi surface topology of Ca_{1.5}Sr_{0.5}RuO_{4} determined by ARPES

We report ARPES results of the Fermi surface of Ca_{1.5}Sr_{0.5}RuO$_{4}, which is at the boundary of magnetic/orbital instability in the phase diagram of the Ca-substituted Sr ruthenates. Three t_{2g} energy bands and the corresponding Fermi surface sheets are observed, which are also present in the Ca-free Sr_{2}RuO$_{4}. We find that while the Fermi surface topology of the alpha, beta (d_{yz, zx}) sheets remains almost the same in these two materials, the gamma (d_{xy}) sheet exhibits a hole-like Fermi surface in Ca_{1.5}Sr_{0.5}RuO_{4} in contrast to being electron-like in Sr_{2}RuO_{4}. Our observation of all three volume conserving Fermi surface sheets clearly demonstrates the absence of orbital-selective Mott transition, which was proposed theoretically to explain the unusual transport and magnetic properties in Ca_{1.5}Sr_{0.5}RuO_{4}.

Models of Meson-Baryon Reactions in the Nucleon Resonance Region

It is shown that most of the models for analyzing meson-baryon reactions in the nucleon resonance region can be derived from a Hamiltonian formulation of the problem. An extension of the coupled-channel approach to include $ππN$ channel is briefly described and some preliminary results for the $N^*(1535)$ excitation are presented.

Neutron beta decay in effective field theory

Radiative corrections to the lifetime and angular correlation coefficients of neutron beta-decay are evaluated in effecitive field theory. We also evaluate the lowest order nucleon recoil corrections, including weak-magnetism. Our results agree with those of the long-range and model-independent part of previous calculations. In an effective theory the model-dependent radiative corrections are replaced by well-defined low-energy constants. The effective field theory allows a systematic evaluation of higher order corrections to our results to the extent that the relevant low-energy constants are known.

The scattering rate is of the form a + b*w. The inelastic coefficient b is found to be isotropic. The elastic term, a, however, is found to be highly anisotropic in the pseudogap phase of optimal doped samples, with an anisotropy which correlates with that of the pseudogap. This can be contrasted with heavily overdoped samples, which show an isotropic scattering rate in the normal state.

Identifying the Background Signal in ARPES of High Temperature Superconductors

One of the interesting features of the photoemission spectra of the high temperature cuprate superconductors is the presence of a large signal (referred to as the "background'') in the unoccupied region of the Brillouin zone. Here we present data indicating that the origin of this signal is extrinsic and is most likely due to strong scattering of the photoelectrons. We also present an analytical method that can be used to subtract the background signal.

ARPES on Na$_{0.6}$CoO$_{2}$: Fermi surface, extended flat dispersion, and unusual band splitting

The electronic structure of single crystals Na$_{0.6}$CoO$_2$, which are closely related to the superconducting Na$_{0.3}$CoO$_2$.$y$H$_2$O ($T_c \sim 5K$), is studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. While the measured Fermi surface is found to be consistent with the prediction of a local density band theory, the energy dispersion is highly renormalized, with an anisotropy along the two principle axes ($Γ$-$K$, $Γ$-$M$). Our ARPES result also indicates that an extended flat band is formed slightly above $E_F$ along $Γ$-$K$. In addition, an unusual band splitting is observed in the vicinity of the Fermi surface along the $Γ$-$M$ direction, which differs from the predicted bilayer splitting.
