$ΔI = 3/2$ kaon weak matrix elements with non-zero total momentum

We present preliminary results for the $ΔI = 3/2$ kaon decay matrix elements using domain wall fermions and the DBW2 gauge action at one coarse lattice spacing corresponding to $a^{-1} = 1.3$ GeV. We employ an extention of the Lellouch and Lüscher formula for non-zero total momentum to extract the infinite volume, center-of-mass system decay amplitudes. We compare the result of $\mathrm{Re}A_2$ with previous results calculated by several methods, and experiment. We also show the I=2 $ππ$ scattering phase shift.

I=2 Pion Scattering Length from Two-Pion Wave Functions

We calculate the two-pion wave function in the ground state of the I=2 $S$-wave system and find the interaction range between two pions, which allows us to examine the validity of the necessary condition for the finite-volume method for the scattering length proposed by Lüscher. We work in the quenched approximation employing a renormalization group improved gauge action for gluons and an improved Wilson action for quarks at $1/a=1.207(12) {\rm GeV}$ on $16^3 \times 80$, $20^3 \times 80$ and $24^3 \times 80$ lattices. We conclude that the necessary condition is satisfied within the statistical errors for the lattice sizes $L\ge 24$ ($3.92 {\rm fm}$) when the quark mass is in the range that corresponds to $m_π^2 = 0.273-0.736 {\rm GeV}^2$. We obtain the scattering length with a smaller statistical error from the wave function than from the two-pion time correlator.

A search for deeply bound kaonic nuclear states

We have measured proton and neutron energy spectra by stopping negative kaons on liquid helium4. Two distinct peak structures were found on both spectra, which were assigned to the formation of new kinds of strange stribaryons. In this paper, we summarize both results.

Strange tribaryons as Kbar-mediated dense nuclear systems

We discuss the implications of recently discovered strange tribaryons in 4He(stopped-K-, p)S0 (3115) and 4He(stopped-K, n) S1 (3140) within the framework of deeply bound kbar states formed on shrunk nuclear cores. S1 (3140) corresponds to T=0 ppnK-, whereas S0 (3115) to T=1 pnnK-, which is an isobaric analog state of pppK-, predicted previously. The observed binding energies can be accounted for by including the relativistic effect and by invoking a medium-enhanced kbar-N interaction by 15%. We propose various experimental methods to further study these and related bound systems.

Indication of a strange tribaryon S^+ from the ^4He(stopped K^-,n) reaction

We measured the neutron time-of-flight spectrum in the ^4He(stopped K^-, n) reaction by stopping negative kaons in a superfluid helium target. A clear enhancement was observed in the neutron spectrum, which indicates the formation of a strange tribaryon of charge +1 with a mass and width of M = 3141 +/- 3 (stat.) +4/-1 (sys.) MeV/c^2 and G < 23 MeV/c^2. This state, denoted as S^+(3140), is about 25 MeV/c^2 higher than the previously observed S^0(3115) T=1.

Two-particle wave function in four dimensional Ising model

An exploratory study of two-particle wave function is carried out with a four dimensional simple model. The wave functions not only for two-particle ground and first excited states but also for an unstable state are calculated from three- and four-point functions using the diagonalization method suggested by Lüscher and Wolff. The scattering phase shift is evaluated from these wave functions.

I=2 Pion Scattering Length from Two-Pion Wave Function

We present a report on a calculation of scattering length for I=2 $S$-wave two-pion system from two-pion wave function. Calculations are made with an RG-improved action for gluons and improved Wilson action for quarks at $a^{-1}=1.207(12) {\rm GeV}$ on $16^3 \times 80$, $20^3 \times 80$ and $24^3 \times 80$ lattices. We investigate the validity of necessary condition for application of Lüscher's formula through the wave function. We find that the condition is satisfied for lattice volumes $L\ge 3.92 {\rm fm}$ for the quark mass range $m_π^2 = 0.273-0.736 {\rm GeV}^2$. We also find that the scattering length can be extracted with a smaller statistical error from the wave function than with a time correlation function used in previous studies.

Precision spectroscopy of pionic 1s states of Sn nuclei and evidence for partial restoration of chiral symmetry in the nuclear medium

Deeply bound 1s states of $π^-$ in $^{115,119,123}$Sn were preferentially observed using the Sn($d$,$^3$He) pion-transfer reaction under the recoil-free condition. The 1s binding energies and widths were precisely determined, and were used to deduce the isovector parameter of the s-wave pion-nucleus potential to be $b_1 =-0.115\pm 0.007 ~m_π^{-1}$. The observed enhancement of $|b_1|$ over the free $πN$ value ($b_1^{\rm free}/b_1 = 0.78 \pm 0.05$) indicates a reduction of the chiral order parameter, $f^{*}_π (ρ)^2/f_π^2 \approx 0.64$, at the normal nuclear density, $ρ= ρ_0$.

I=2 $ππ$ Scattering Phase Shift with two Flavors of $O(a)$ Improved Dynamical Quarks

We present a lattice QCD calculation of phase shift including the chiral and continuum extrapolations in two-flavor QCD. The calculation is carried out for I=2 S-wave $ππ$ scattering. The phase shift is evaluated for two momentum systems, the center of mass and laboratory systems, by using the finite volume method proposed by Lüscher in the center of mass system and its extension to general systems by Rummukainen and Gottlieb. The measurements are made at three different bare couplings $β= 1.80$, 1.95 and 2.10 using a renormalization group improved gauge and a tadpole improved clover fermion action, and employing a set of configurations generated for hadron spectroscopy in our previous work. The illustrative values we obtain for the phase shift in the continuum limit are $δ$(deg.) $= - 3.50(64)$, $ - 9.5(30)$ and $ - 16.9(64)$ for $\sqrt{s}({\rm GeV})$ $=0.4$, $ 0.6$ and $ 0.8$, which are consistent with experiment.

Systematic study of the decay rates of antiprotonic helium states

A systematic study of the decay rates of antiprotonic helium (\pbhef and \pbhet) at CERN AD (Antiproton Decelerator) has been made by a laser spectroscopic method. The decay rates of some of its short-lived states, namely those for which the Auger rates $γ_{\mathrm{A}}$ are much larger than their radiative decay rates ($γ_{\mathrm{rad}} \sim 1$ $μ$s$^{-1}$), were determined from the time distributions of the antiproton annihilation signals induced by laser beams, and the widths of the atomic resonance lines. The magnitude of the decay rates, especially their relation with the transition multipolarity, is discussed and compared with theoretical calculations.

I=2 Pion Scattering Length from Two-Pion Wave Function

We present a preliminary report on a calculation of scattering length for I=2 $S$-wave two-pion system directly from the two-pion wave function. Results are compared with those calculated from the time dependence of two-pion four-point functions. Calculations are made with an RG-improved action for gluons and improved Wilson action for quarks at $a^{-1}=1.207(12)$ GeV on $20^3 \times 48$ and $24^3 \times 48$ lattices.

Precise laser spectroscopy of the antiprotonic helium atom and CPT test on antiproton mass and charge

We have measured twelve transition frequencies of the antiprotonic helium atom (pbar-He+) with precisions of 0.1--0.2 ppm using a laser spectroscopic method. The agreement between the experiment and theories was so good that we can put a limit on the proton-antiproton mass (or charge) difference. The new limit is expected to be much smaller than the already published value, 60 ppb.

Analysis of unstable particle with the maximum entropy method in O(4) $ϕ^4$ theory on the lattice

We explore applications of the maximum entropy method (MEM) to determine properties of unstable particles using the four-dimensional O(4) $ϕ^4$ theory as a laboratory. The spectral function of the correlation function of the unstable $σ$ particle is calculated with MEM, and shown to yield reliable results for both the mass of $σ$ and the energy of the two-pion state. Calculations are also made for the case in which $σ$ is stable. Distinctive differences in the volume dependence of the $σ$ mass and two-pion energy for the stable and unstable cases are analyzed in terms of perturbation theory.

Study of unstable particle through the spectral function in O(4) $ϕ^4$ theory

We test application of the maximum entropy method to decompose the states contributing to the unstable $σ$ correlation function through the spectral function in the four dimensional O(4) $ϕ^4$ theory. Reliable results are obtained for the $σ$ mass and two-particle $ππ$ state energy using only the $σ$ correlation function. We also find that the property of the $σ$ particle is different between the unstable ($m_σ/m_π>2$) and stable ($m_σ/m_π<2$) cases.

Hyperfine structure of antiprotonic helium revealed by a laser-microwave-laser resonance method

Using a newly developed laser-microwave-laser resonance method, we observed a pair of microwave transitions between hyperfine levels of the $(n,L)=(37,35)$ state of antiprotonic helium. This experiment confirms the quadruplet hyperfine structure due to the interaction of the antiproton orbital angular momentum, the electron spin and the antiproton spin as predicted by Bakalov and Korobov. The measured frequencies of $ν_{\text HF}^+ =12.89596 \pm 0.00034$ GHz and $ν_{\text HF}^- =12.92467 \pm 0.00029$ GHz agree with recent theoretical calculations on a level of $ 6 \times10^{-5}$.

Maximum entropy analysis of hadron spectral functions and excited states in quenched lattice QCD

Employing the maximum entropy method we extract the spectral functions from meson correlators at four lattice spacings in quenched QCD with the Wilson quark action. We confirm that the masses and decay constants, obtained from the position and the area of peaks, agree well with the results from the conventional exponential fit. For the first excited state, we obtain $m_{π_1} = 660(590)$ MeV, $m_{ρ_1} = 1540(570)$ MeV, and $f_{ρ_1} = 0.085(36)$ in the continuum limit.

Spectral function and excited states in lattice QCD with maximum entropy method

We apply the maximum entropy method to extract the spectral functions for pseudoscalar and vector mesons from hadron correlators previously calculated at four different lattice spacings in quenched QCD with the Wilson quark action. We determine masses and decay constants for the ground and excited states of the pseudoscalar and vector channels from position and area of peaks in the spectral functions. We obtain the results, $m_{π_1} = 660(590)$ MeV and $m_{ρ_1} = 1540(570)$ MeV for the masses of the first excited state masses, in the continuum limit of quenched QCD. We also find unphysical states which have infinite mass in the continuum limit, and argue that they are bound states of two doublers of the Wilson quark action. If the interpretation is correct, this is the first time that the state of doublers is identified in lattice QCD numerical simulations.
