In arXiv:hep-ph/0312175v3 25 May 2004 doing this, we adopt the idea recently introduced by Shuryak and Zahed for charmed cc¯ , light-quarkqq ¯ mesons π, σ, ρ, A1 and gluons that at Tzb, the quark-anti-quark scattering length goes through at which conformal invariance is restored, thereby ∞ transforming the matter into a near perfect fluid behaving hydrodynamically, as found at RHIC. We show that the binding of these states is accomplished by the combination of (i) the color Coulomb interaction, (ii) the relativistic effects, and (iii) the interaction induced by the instanton-anti-instanton molecules.

INTRODUCTION In this series of lectures I will discuss the present status of ojr understanding of the physics of hadronic (nuclear or neutron) matter under extreme conditions, in particular at high densities. This is a problem which challenges three disci• plines of physics : nuclear physics, astrophysics and particle physics. It is ge• nerally believed that we now have a correct and perhaps ultimate theory of the strong interactions, namely quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The constituents of this theery are quarks and gluons, so highly dense matters should be describable in terms of these constituents alone. This is a question that addresses directly to the phenomenon of quark confinement, one of the least understood aspects in par• ticle physics. For nuclear physics, the possibility of a phase change between nuclear matter and quark matter introduces entirely new degrees of freedom in the description of nuclei and will bring perhaps a deeper understanding of nuclear dynamics. In astrophysics, the properties of neutron stars will.be properly under• stood only when the equation of state of "neutron" matter at densities exceeding that of nuclear matter can be realiably calculated.

In this approach, single baryon, baryonic matter and medium-modified hadron properties are treated on the same footing. Intrinsic density dependence (IDD) reflecting the change of vacuum by compressed baryonic matter figures naturally in the approach. In this article, we review the recent progress on accessing dense nuclear matter by putting baryons treated as solitons, namely, skyrmions, on crystal lattice with accents on the implications in compact stars.

Start/completion date: ??? thanks to Sara Lutterbie for making this slide New faculty Stan Metchev, observational astronomer, just joined us as Assistant Professor. He was a Spitzer Postdoc at UCLA. Stan’s research focuses on understanding the physical properties and dynamical evolution of extrasolar planetary systems and brown dwarfs - objects with intermediate characteristics between those of stars and gas giant planets. Stan uses the high-contrast imaging capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes equipped with adaptive optics systems to resolve protoplanetary disks around young stars. Resolved images of such circumstellar disks allow us to study the formation and architectures of extrasolar planetary systems. Stan uses sensitive optical to infrared spectroscopy to characterize the atmospheres of brown dwarfs at all ages.

Riska and Brown computed, using a realistic hard-core wave function for the deuteron, the two one-pion-exchange diagrams initially suggested in 1947 by Villars [2] plus the ω and ∆ resonance diagrams. That the dominant contributions to electroweak exchange currents could be gotten from current-algebra low-energy theorems was suggested by Chemtob and Rho [3] who gave a systematic rule for organizing the leading exchange- current diagrams effective at low energy and momentum.

  • Dense Stellar Matter with Strange Quark Matter Driven by Kaon Condensation

In this work, we explore the implication on hadron physics of a dense compact object that has three “phases”: nuclear matter at the outer layer, kaon condensed nuclear matter in the middle, and strange quark matter at the core. Using a drastically simplified but not unreasonable model, we develop the scenario where the different phases are smoothly connected with the kaon condensed matter playing a role of a “doorway” to a quark core, the equation of state of which with parameters restricted within the range allowed by nature could be made compatible with the mass vs radius constraint given by the 1.97-solar-mass object PSR J1614-2230 recently observed.

  • Baryons and Vector Dominance in Holographic Dual
    1 Baryons and Vector Dominance in Holographic Dual QCD Mannque Rho Institut de Physique Th´eorique, Direction des Sciences de la Mati`ere, CEA-Saclay, F-91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France The infinite tower of vector mesons encoded in holographic dual QCD bring drastic changes to the soliton structure of the nucleon. The nucleon is given by a point-like instanton in 5D surrounded by a vector meson cloud with the vector dominance restored by the infinite tower. I discuss the possible relevance of this structure in hot and dense hadronic matter. §1. The Objective I would like to discuss in this talk a particular aspect of baryon structure that arises from holographic dual QCD (hQCD for short) that has an important ramifica- tion on some current issues of nuclear/hadronic physics. My talk will be largely mo- tivated by the series of work1), 2) I have done recently with my string theory/particle physics colleagues in Korea. This work addressed broadly two different issues. As nicely exposed in the recent talks by my colleagues,3), 4) to string theorists, it is al- ready quite surprising that the notion of gravity/gauge duality can access certain properties of the baryons at such an accuracy, say, 10% level. Here string theory ∼ purports to first ascertain how well it postdicts the baryon properties well described by QCD proper or rather by its effective field theories and then to address problems that go beyond the standard model, e.g., baryon decay,5) just to cite one. What I am interested in here is quite different in nature.

We present the argument that the \cusp" structure in the symmetry energy at n1=2 >∼ 2n0 predicted by a topology change in dense matter could obstruct the validity of the lore. The topology change, encoding the emergence of QCD degrees of freedom in terms of hidden local and scale symmetries, predicts an EoS that is soft below and stiff above n >∼ n1=2, involving no low-order phase transitions, and yields the macrophysical properties of neutron stars overall consistent with the astrophysical observations including the maximum mass 2:0 <∼ M=M <∼ 2:2 as well as the GW data.

The delta resonance dominates nuclear reaction* induced by intermediate energy pious, nucleons, and electromagnetic probes. It is also the most important non-nucleonic degree of freedom needed to resolve many fundamental problems encountered in the study of iov-enurgy nuclear phenomena. Clearly, a new phase of nuclear physics has emerged and conventional thinking must be extended to account for this new dimension of nuclear dynamics. The most challenging problem we are facing is how a unified theory can be developed to describe A-nucleus dynamics at all energies.

  • Heavy Quark Symmetry and the Skyrme Model
    SNUTP-94/13 (Revised) Heavy Quark Symmetry and the Skyrme Model Yongseok Oh Department of Physics, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan 10764, R.O.C. Byung-Yoon Park Department of Physics, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 305–764, Korea Dong-Pil Min Center for Theoretical Physics and Department of Physics, Seoul National University, Seoul 151–742, Korea Abstract We present a consistent way of describing heavy baryons containing a heavy quark as bound states of an SU(2) soliton and heavy mesons. The resulting mass formula reveals the heavy quark symmetry explicitly. By extending the model to the orbitally excited states, we establish the generic structure of the heavy baryon spectrum. As anticipated from the heavy quark spin symmetry, the c-factor denoting the hyperfine splitting constant vanishes and the baryons with the same angular momentum of light degrees of freedom form degenerate doublets. This approach is also applied to the pentaquark exotic baryons, where the conventional c-factor plays no more a role of the 1 hyperfine constant. After diagonalizing the Hamiltonian of order Nc− , we arXiv:hep-ph/9407214v1 4 Jul 1994 get the degenerate doublets, which implies the vanishing of genuine hyperfine splitting.
