The masses,one-and two-proton separation energies of proton-rich nuclei with Z = 20-55,are computed using the measured masses of mirror neutron-rich nuclei and the Coulomb displacement energies calculated from the relativistic point-coupling model.The implications for the proton drip lines,candidates for two-proton emitters,as well as the impact on the astrophysical rp-process are discussed.

Relativistic Consistent Angular-Momentum Projected Shell-Model： Relativistic Mean Field

We develop a relativistic nuclear structure model, relativistic consistent angular-momentum projected shell-model (RECAPS), which combines the relativistic mean-field theory with the angular-momentum projection method. In this new model, nuclear ground-state properties are first calculated consistently using relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory. Then angular momentum projection method is used to project out states with good angular momentum from a few important configurations. By diagonalizing the hamiltonian, the energy levels and wave functions are obtained. This model is a new attempt for the understanding of nuclear structure of normal nuclei and for the prediction of nuclear properties of nuclei far from stability. In this paper, we will describe the treatment of the relativistic mean field. A computer code, RECAPS-RMF, is developed. It solves the relativistic mean field with axial-symmetric deformation in the spherical harmonic oscillator basis. Comparisons between our calculations and existing relativistic mean-field calculations are made to test the model. These include the ground-state properties of spherical nuclei 16O and 208Pb, the deformed nucleus 20Ne. Good agreement is obtained.

Meson Cloud Effect on △(1232) Resonance Transition Properties with a Relativistic Quark Model Approach

Based on a relativistic quark model approach, the transition properties of the first nucleon resonance △(1232), and the coupling constants gπNN, g△πN are investigated. Tvo different vays to remove the center of mass motion are considered. The results of the relativistic approaches with and without center ofmass correction are compared with those of nonrelativistic constituent quark model. Moreover, pion meson cloud effect on these calculated observables is explicitly addressed. Better results are obtained by taking the pion meson cloud into account.

Nucleon Spin Content in a Relativistic Quark Potential Model Approach

Based on a relativistic quark model approach with an effective potential , the spin content of the nucleon is investigated. Pseudo-scalar interaction between quarks and Goldstone bosons is employed to calculate the couplings between the Goldstone bosons and the nucleon. Different approaches to deal with the center of mass correction in the relativistic quark potential model approach are discussed.

Electric and Magnetic Form Factors of Proton in Relativistic Constituent QuarkModel

Based on relativistic constituent quark (RCQ) model, the electric and magnetic form factors are analyzed. The ratio of the two form factors for the proton , which is an image of its charge and magnetization distributions, is calculated in the light-front formulism of RCQ model. Recently, this ratio was measured at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) using the polarization technique. The new data presented span the range and are well described by a linear Q2 fit. Also, the ratio reaches a constant value while Q2 becomes larger than 2 (GeV)2. Our calculation results are presented and appear to be consistent with the experimental ones.

Quasi-Radial Modes of Pulsating Neutron Stars: Numerical Results for General-Relativistic Rigidly Rotating Polytropic Models

In this paper we compute general-relativistic polytropic models simulating rigidly rotating, pulsating neutron stars. These relativistic compact objects, with a radius of ~10 km and mass between ~1.4 and 3.2 solar masses, are closely related to pulsars. We emphasize on computing the change in the pulsation eigenfrequencies owing to a rigid rotation, which, in turn, is a decisive issue for studying stability of such objects. In our computations, we keep rotational perturbation terms of up to second order in the angular velocity.

Nucleon Finite Volume Effect and Nuclear Matter Properties in a Relativistic Mean-Field Theory

Effects of excluded volume of nucleons on nuclear matter are studied, and the nuclear properties that follow from different relativistic mean-field model parametrizations are compared. We show that, for all tested parametrizations, the resulting volume energy al and the symmetry energy J are around the acceptable values of 16 MeV and 30 MeV, and the density symmetry L is around 100 MeV. On the other hand, models that consider only linear terms lead to incompressibility Ko much higher than expected. For most parameter sets there exists a critical point （pc, δc）, where the minimum and the maximum of the equation of state are coincident and the incompressibility equals zero. This critical point depends on the excluded volume parameter r. If this parameter is larger than 0.5 fm, there is no critical point and the pure neutron matter is predicted to be bound. The maximum value for neutron star mass is 1.85M⊙, which is in agreement with the mass of the heaviest observed neutron star 4U0900-40 and corresponds to r = 0.72 fm. We also show that the light neutron star mass （1.2M⊙） is obtained for r ≌ 0.9 fro.

The Pionic Effect on the Binding Energy of Relativistic Particle-Hole Excitation in Nuclear Matter

The renormalization of pion-exchange nucleon self-energy in nuclear matter is doneby dispersion relation.The exchange and correlation energies(in the ring approximation)ofpion,σ and ω mesons are derived and used to calculate the binding energy of nuctear matter atzero temperature.We find that the pionic contribution to the binding energy fails to lift the highdensity end of the binding energy curve,that is,the binding energy can not saturate without adensity dependent correction to the σNN and ωNN coupling constants.But the binding energycan saturate in the relativistic Hartree approximation plus the exchange and correlation energiesof л meson.

Relativistic description of second-order correction to nuclear magnetic moments with point-coupling residual interaction

Using the single particle states and the residual interaction derived from the relativistic point-coupling model with the PC-F1 parameter set,the second-order core polarization corrections to nuclear magnetic moments of LS closed shell nuclei ±1 nucleon with A = 15,17,39 and 41 are studied and compared with previous non-relativistic results.It is found that the second-order corrections are significant.With these corrections,the isovector magnetic moments of the concerned nuclei are well reproduced,especially those for A = 17 and A = 41.

Superallowed Fermi transitions in RPA with a relativistic point-coupling energy functional

The self-consistent random phase approximation (RPA) approach with the residual interaction derived from a relativistic pointcoupling energy functional is applied to evaluate the isospin symmetry-breaking corrections δ c for the 0+ → 0+ superallowed Fermi transitions.With these δ c values,together with the available experimental f t values and the improved radiative corrections,the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix is examined.Even with the consideration of uncertainty,the sum of squared top-row elements has been shown to deviate from the unitarity condition by 0.1% for all the employed relativistic energy functionals.

ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED SIGNAL MODEL IN BISTATIC RADAR SYSTEMS

Taking the relativistic effect of high velocity moving target into account, the Doppler shift, polarization deflection, reflection coefficient and phase delay of reflected electric field are analyzed rigorously under the assumptions that incident signal to the target is a plane wave and the target is a perfect conductor plane; and their analytic expressions are obtained. The present results are of practical significance to some extent for the accurate expression of the wideband returned signal of a high velocity moving target in the bistatic radar system and for the understanding of wideband ambiguity functions.

On Damped Wave Diffusion of Oxygen in Pancreatic Islets: Parabolic and Hyperbolic Models

Damped wave diffusion effects during oxygen transport in islets of Langerhans is studied. Simultaneous reaction and diffusion models were developed. The asymptotic limits of first and zeroth order in Michaelis and Menten kinetics was used in the study. Parabolic Fick diffusion and hyperbolic damped wave diffusion were studied separately. Method of relativistic transformation was used in order to obtain the solution for the hyperbolic model. Model solutions was used to obtain mass inertial times. Convective boundary condition was used. Sharma number (mass) may be used in evaluating the importance of the damped wave diffusion process in relation to other processes such as convection, Fick steady diffusion in the given application. Four regimes can be identified in the solution of hyperbolic damped wave diffusion model. These are;1) Zero Transfer Inertial Regime, 0 0≤τ≤τinertia;2) Rising Regime during times greater than inertial regime and less than at the wave front, Xp > τ, 3) at Wave front , τ = Xp;4) Falling Regime in open Interval, of times greater than at the wave front, τ > Xp. Method of superposition of steady state concentration and transient concentration used in both solutions of parabolic and hyperbolic models. Expression for steady state concentration developed. Closed form analytic model solutions developed in asymptotic limits of Michaelis and Menten kinetic at zeroth order and first order. Expression for Penetration Length Derived-Hypoxia Explained. Expression for Inertial Lag Time Derived. Solution was obtained by the method of separation of variables for transient for parabolic model and by the method of relativistic transformation for hyperbolic models. The concentration profile was expressed as a sum of steadty state and transient parts.

Comparative study of nuclear masses in the relativistic mean-field model

With experimental masses updated from AME11,the predictive power of relativistic mean-field(RMF) mass model is carefully examined and compared with HFB-17,FRDM,WS*,and DZ28 mass models.In the relativistic mean-field model,the calculation with the PC-PK1 has improved significantly in describing masses compared to the TMA,especially for the neutron-deficient nuclei.The corresponding rms deviation with respect to the known masses falls to 1.4 MeV.Furthermore,it is found that the RMF mass model better describes the nuclei with large deformations.The rms deviation for nuclei with the absolute value of quadrupole deformation parameter greater than 0.25 falls to 0.93,crossing the 1 MeV accuracy threshold for the PC-PK1,which may indicate the new model is more suitable for those largely-deformed nuclei.In addition,the necessity of new high-precision experimental data to evaluate and develop the nuclear mass models is emphasized as well.

Mass predictions of the relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov model with radial basis function approach

The radial basis function(RBF) approach is a powerful tool to improve nuclear mass predictions. By combining the RBF approach with the latest relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov(RCHB) model, the local systematic deviations between the RCHB mass predictions and the experimental data are eliminated, and the root-meansquare(rms) mass deviation is significantly reduced from 7.923 MeV to 0.386 MeV. However, systematic deviations between the RBF improved mass predictions and the experimental data remain for nuclei with four different odd-even parities, i.e.(even Z, even N),(even Z, odd N),(odd Z, even N), and(odd Z, odd N). They can be reduced by separately training RBF for the four groups of nuclei, and the resulting rms deviation decreases to 0.229 MeV. It is found that the RBF approach can describe the deformation effects neglected in the present RCHB mass calculations, and also improves the description of the shell effect and the pairing effect.

A Global Weizsacker mass model with relativistic mean field shell correction

A relativistic Weizsacker mass model is proposed based on the single-particle levels and ground state deformations obtained in axial deformed relativistic mean field theory.The density functional of relativistic mean field theory is chosen as DD-LZ1,which can partially remove spurious shell closures.Compared with the fourth Weizsacker-Skyrme mass model,the proposed model provides shell correction energies that exhibit wide spreading,and the root-mean-square mass deviation is 1.353 MeV.Further improvement is in progress.

Heavy quarkonia spectra and their decays in a relativistic quark model

Using the phenomenological relativistic harmonic model （RHM） for quarks, we have obtained the masses of S wave charmonium and bottomonium states. The full Hamiltonian used in the investigation has Lorentz scalar plus vector confinement potential, along with the confined one gluon exchange potential （COGEP）. A good agreement with the experimental masses for the ground and the radially excited states is obtained both for the triplet and singlet S wave mesons. The decay properties of the ground state charmonium and bottomonium are investigated.

Nucleon momentum distribution of 56Fe from the axially deformed relativistic mean-field model with nucleon-nucleon correlations

Nucleon momentum distribution(NMD), particularly its high-momentum components, is essential for understanding the nucleonnucleon(NN) correlations in nuclei. Herein, we develop the studies of NMD of 56Fe from the axially deformed relativistic mean-field(RMF) model. Moreover, we introduce the effects of NN correlation into the RMF model from phenomenological models basing on deuteron and nuclear matter. For the region k < kF, the effects of deformation on the NMD of the RMF model are investigated using the total and single-particle NMDs. For the region k > kF, the high-momentum components of the RMF model are modified by the effects of NN correlation, which agree with the experimental data. Comparing the NMD of relativistic and non-relativistic mean-field models, the relativistic effects on nuclear structures in momentum space are analyzed. Finally, by analogizing the tensor correlations in deuteron and Jastrow-type correlations in nuclear matter, the behaviors and contributions of NN correlations in 56Fe are further analyzed, which helps clarify the effects of the tensor force on the NMD of heavy nuclei.

Model investigation on the mechanism of QGP formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions

On the basis of the nontopological soliton bag model, it is proposed that the quark decon-finement may be indicated by the unstability and disappearance of solition solutions at finite-temperature and finite-density. The thermal effects on the vacuum structure of strongly interacting matter are investigated, and the soliton field equation of the model is solved directly in the whole range of temperature via a numerical method. The phase structure of the system and the features of deconfining phase transition are analysed in detail. In addition, the collective excitations in the vacuum caused by thermal effects are investigated by making use of an order parameter which is given to describe the vacuum condensation at finite temperature. A physical mechanism and an intuitive picture are presented for the formation of QGP from both deconfined hardon matter and the vacuum excitation in relativistic heavy ion collisions.
