    Electrocouplings in Dyson-Schwinger Equations

    Jorge Segovia🇩🇪

    A symmetry preserving framework for the study of continuum Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is obtained from a truncated solution of the QCD equations of motion or QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs). A nonperturbative solution of the DSEs enables the study of, e.g., hadrons as composites of dressed-quarks and dressed-gluons, the phenomena of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB), and therefrom an articulation of any connection between them. It is within this context that we present a unified study of Nucleon, Delta and Roper elastic and transition electromagnetic form factors, and compare predictions made using a framework built upon a Faddeev equation kernel and interaction vertices that possess QCD-like momentum dependence with results obtained using a symmetry-preserving treatment of a vectorvector contact-interaction. The comparison emphasises that experiment is sensitive to the momentum dependence of the running coupling and masses in QCD and highlights that the key to describing hadron properties is a veracious expression of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in the bound-state problem.

    Mode-coupling effects in anisotropic flow in heavy-ion collisions

    Jing Qian (Ohio State and Harbin Institute of Technology)🇨🇳 · Ulrich W. Heinz (Ohio State)🇺🇸 · Jia Liu (Ohio State)🇺🇸

    Higher-order anisotropic flows in heavy-ion collisions are affected by nonlinear mode coupling effects. It has been suggested that the associated nonlinear hydrodynamic response coefficients probe the transport properties and are largely insensitive to the spectrum of initial density fluctuations of the medium created in these collisions. To test this suggestion, we explore nonlinear mode coupling effects in event-by-event viscous fluid dynamics, using two different models for the fluctuating initial density profiles, and compare the nonlinear coupling coefficients between the initial eccentricity vectors before hydrodynamic expansion and the final flow vectors after the expansion. For several mode coupling coefficients we find significant sensitivity to the initial fluctuation spectrum. They all exhibit strong sensitivity to the specific shear viscosity at freeze-out, but only weak dependence on the shear viscosity during hydrodynamic evolution.

    Effect of Pauli principle on the deformed QRPA calculations and its consequence in the -decay calculations of deformed even-even nuclei

    Dong-Liang Fang

    In this work, we take into consideration of Pauli Exclusion Principle(PEP) in the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) calculations for the deformed systems by replacing the traditional Quasi-Boson Approximation(QBA) with the renormalized one. With this new formalism, the parametrization of QRPA calculations has been changed and the collapse of QRPA solutions could be avoid for realistic values. We further find that the necessity of renormalization parameter of particle-particle residual interaction in QRPA calculations is due to the exclusion of PEP. So with the inclusion of PEP, we could easily extend the deformed QRPA calculations to the less explored region where lack of experimental data prevent effective parametrization of for QRPA methods. With this theoretical improvement, we give predictions of weak decay rates for even-even isotopes in the rare earth region and the results are then compared with existing calculations.

    The impact of the off-diagonal cross-shell interaction on C

    Cenxi Yuan

    The shell-model investigation is performed to show the impact on the structure of C contributed by the off-diagonal cross-shell interaction, V, which represents the mixing between the and configurations in the model space. Observed levels of the positive states in C can be nicely described in or a larger model space through the well defined Hamiltonians, YSOX and WBP, with a reduction on the strength of the V interaction in the latter. The observed B(GT) values for C can be generally described by YSOX, while WBP and their modifications on the V interaction fail for some values. Further investigation shows the effect of such interaction on the configuration mixing and occupancy. The present work shows examples on how the off-diagonal cross-shell interaction strongly drives the nuclear structure.

    Efficacy of the SU(3) scheme for ab initio large-scale calculations beyond the lightest nuclei

    T. Dytrych · P. Maris · K. D. Launey · J. P. Draayer · J. P. Vary · D. Langr · E. Saule · M. A. Caprio · U. Catalyurek · M. Sosonkina

    We report on the computational characteristics of ab initio nuclear structure calculations in a symmetry-adapted no-core shell model (SA-NCSM) framework. We examine the computational complexity of the current implementation of the SA-NCSM approach, dubbed LSU3shell, by analyzing ab initio results for 6Li and 12C in large harmonic oscillator model spaces and SU(3)-selected subspaces. We demonstrate LSU3shell's strong-scaling properties achieved with highly-parallel methods for computing the many-body matrix elements. Results compare favorably with complete model space calculations and significant memory savings are achieved in physically important applications. In particular, a well-chosen symmetry-adapted basis affords memory savings in calculations of states with a fixed total angular momentum in large model spaces while exactly preserving translational invariance.

    Holography Inspired Stringy Hadrons

    Jacob Sonnenschein🇮🇱

    Holography inspired stringy hadrons (HISH) is a set of models that describe hadrons: mesons, baryons and glueballs as strings in four dimensional space time. The models are based on a "map" from stringy hadrons of holographic confining backgrounds. In this note we review the "derivation" of the models. We start with a brief reminder of the passage from the AdS5xS5 string theory to certain flavored confining holographic models. We then describe the string configurations in holographic backgrounds that correspond to a Wilson line,a meson,a baryon and a glueball. The key ingredients of the four dimensional picture of hadrons are the "string endpoint mass" and the "baryonic string vertex". We determine the classical trajectories of the HISH. We review the current understanding of the quantization of the hadronic strings. We end with a summary of the comparison of the outcome of the HISH models with the PDG data about mesons and baryons. We extract the values of the tension, masses and intercepts from best fits, write down certain predictions for higher excited hadrons and present attempts to identify glueballs

    Constraints on large- parton distributions from new weak boson production and deep-inelastic scattering data

    A. Accardi🇺🇸 · L. T. Brady🇺🇸 · W. Melnitchouk🇺🇸 · J. F. Owens🇺🇸 · N. Sato🇺🇸

    We present a new set of leading twist parton distribution functions, referred to as "CJ15", which take advantage of developments in the theoretical treatment of nuclear corrections as well as new data. The analysis includes for the first time data on the free neutron structure function from Jefferson Lab, and new high-precision charged lepton and W-boson asymmetry data from Fermilab. These significantly reduce the uncertainty on the d/u ratio at large values of x and provide new insights into the partonic structure of bound nucleons.
