We obtain a bound state for the bbnn configuration with quantum number JR=1^+, I = 0 and for the ccnn (JR=1^+, I=O) configuration, which is not bound but slightly above the D^* D^* threshold (n is u or d quark). Meanwhile, we also conclude that a weakly bound state in bbnn system can also be found without considering the ehiral quark interactions between the two light quarks, yet its binding energy is weaker than that with the chiral quark interactions.展开更多

The baryon spectra are obtained in a unified manner. Our result shows that by employing either the △-mode or the Y-mode confining potential, one can achieve reasonable baryon spectra. The △-mode may be mostly effective for the short- and medium-distances, while the Y-mode may offer more contributions to the spectra for long-distances. Although the binding energies in baryon spectra may deviate by a few to several tens MeV for different modes, it is hard to determine either one to be dominant by simply evaluating the baryon spectra. One may need to invoke the baryon decay process to make further judgement.展开更多

The model parameters are taken to be the values fitted by the energies of the baryon ground states and the kaon-nucleon elastic scattering phase shifts of different partial waves. As a preliminary study the s-channel q(-q) annihilation interactions are not included since they only act in the very short range and are subsequently assumed to be unimportant in the low-energy domain. The numerical results are in qualitative agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

The chiral phase transition is studied at finite temperatures and finite isospin densities. We have studied the μ - T phase diagram for the chiral phase transition and found the transition cannot happen below a certain low temperature because of the BoseEinstein condensation in this system. Above that temperature, the chiral phase transition is studied by the isotherms of pressure versus density. We indicate that the transition, in the chiral limit, is a first-order transition from a low-density phase to a high-density phase like a gas-liquid phase transition.展开更多

The model parameters are taken from our previous work, which gave a satisfactory description of the energies of the baryon ground states, the binding energy of the deuteron, the nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering phase shifts, and the hyperon-nucleon (YN) cross sections. The calculated results show that the Ωω state has an attractive interaction, and in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model such attraction can make for a Ωω quasi-bound state with spin-parity JP = 3/2^- or 5/2^- and the binding energy of about several MeV.展开更多

A new symmetry for an ideal ChP violation system is found and the corresponding selection rules of the electromagnetic transitions are derived. The fingerprints for the ChP violation including the nearly degenerate quartet bands and the selection rules of the electromagnetic transitions are provided. These fingerprints are examined for ChP quartet bands by taking a two-j shell h11/2 and d5/2 with typical energy spacing for A = 130 nuclei.展开更多
