Abstract We study theoretically the structure of double pionic atoms, in which two negatively charged pions ($\pi^-$) are bound in the atomic orbits. The double pionic atom is considered to be an interesting system from the point of view of the multi-bosonic systems. In addition, it could be possible to deduce valuable information on the isospin $I = 2$$\pi\pi$ interaction and the pion–nucleus strong interaction. In this paper, we take into account the $\pi\pi$ strong and electromagnetic interactions, and evaluate the effects on the binding energies by perturbation theory for the double pionic atoms in heavy nuclei. We investigate several combinations of two pionic states and find that the order of magnitude of the energy shifts due to the $\pi\pi$ interaction is around 10 keV for the strong interaction and around 100 keV for the electromagnetic interaction for the ground states., 15 Mar. 2021, 2021, 3, Scientific journal, 10.1093/ptep/ptab023 - Refereed, Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, Oxford University Press (OUP), An event excess observed in the deeply bound region of the 12C (K−, p) missing-mass spectrum, Yudai Ichikawa; Junko Yamagata-Sekihara; Jung Keun Ahn; Yuya Akazawa; Kanae Aoki; Elena Botta; Hiroyuki Ekawa; Petr Evtoukhovitch; Alessandro Feliciello; Manami Fujita; Toshiyuki Gogami; Shoichi Hasegawa; Tomoyuki Hasegawa; Shuhei Hayakawa; Tomonori Hayakawa; Satoru Hirenzaki; Ryotaro Honda; Kenji Hosomi; Ken’ichi Imai; Wooseung Jung; Shunsuke Kanatsuki; Shin Hyung Kim; Shinji Kinbara; Kazuya Kobayashi; Jaeyong Lee; Simonetta Marcello; Koji Miwa; Taejin Moon; Tomofumi Nagae; Yoshiyuki Nakada; Manami Nakagawa; Takuya Nanamura; Megumi Naruki; Atsushi Sakaguchi; Hiroyuki Sako; Susumu Sato; Yuki Sasaki; Kotaro Shirotori; Hitoshi Sugimura; Toshiyuki Takahashi; Hirokazu Tamura; Kiyoshi Tanida; Zviadi Tsamalaidze; Mifuyu Ukai; Takeshi O Yamamoto,
Abstract We have measured, for the first time, the inclusive missing-mass spectrum of the $^{12}$C$(K^-, p)$ reaction at an incident kaon momentum of 1.8 GeV/$c$ at the J-PARC K1.8 beamline. We observed a prominent quasi-elastic peak ($K^-p \rightarrow K^-p$) in this spectrum. In the quasi-elastic peak region, the effect of secondary interaction is apparently observed as a peak shift, and the peak exhibits a tail in the bound region. We compared the spectrum with a theoretical calculation based on the Green’s function method by assuming different values of the parameters for the $\bar{K}$–nucleus optical potential. We found that the spectrum shape in the binding-energy region $-300 \, \text{MeV} < B_{K} < 40$ MeV is best reproduced with the potential depths $V_0 = -80$ MeV (real part) and $W_0 = -40$ MeV (imaginary part). On the other hand, we observed a significant event excess in the deeply bound region around $B_{K} \sim 100$ MeV, where the major decay channel of $K^- NN \to \pi\Sigma N$ is energetically closed, and the non-mesonic decay modes ($K^- NN \to \Lambda N$ and $\Sigma N$) should mainly contribute. The enhancement is fitted well by a Breit–Wigner function with a kaon-binding energy of 90 MeV and width 100 MeV. A possible interpretation is a deeply bound state of a $Y^{*}$-nucleus system., 15 Dec. 2020, 2020, 12, Scientific journal, 10.1093/ptep/ptaa139 - Refereed, Physical Review C, American Physical Society (APS), Search for the η mesic He3 in the pd→dpπ0 reaction with the WASA-at-COSY facility, P.

The structure and the energy spectrum of the η′ mesonic nuclei are investigated in a relativistic mean field theory. One expects a substantial attraction for the η′ meson in finite nuclei due to the partial restoration of chiral symmetry in the nuclear medium. Such a hadronic scale interaction for the η′ mesonic nuclei may provide modification of the nuclear structure. The relativistic mean field theory is a self-contained model for finite nuclei that provides the saturation property within the model, and is useful for investigating the structure change of the nucleus induced by the η′ meson. Using the local density approximation for the mean fields, we solve the equations of motion for the nucleons and the η′ meson self-consistently, and obtain the nuclear density distribution and the η′ energy spectrum for the η′ mesonic nuclei. We take 12C, 16O, and 40 Ca as target nuclei. We find several bound states of the η′ meson for these nuclei thanks to the attraction for η′ in nuclei. We also find a sufficient change of the nuclear structure especially for the 1s bound state of η′. This implies that the production of the 1s bound state in nuclear reactions may be suppressed., 01 May 2019, 2019, 5, Scientific journal, 10.1093/ptep/ptz031

Uesaka; Y. N. Watanabe; H. Weick; H. Yamakami; K. Yoshida, We observed the atomic 1s and 2p states of π- bound to Sn121 nuclei as distinct peak structures in the missing mass spectra of the Sn122(d,He3) nuclear reaction. A very intense deuteron beam and a spectrometer with a large angular acceptance let us achieve a potential of discovery, which includes the capability of determining the angle-dependent cross sections with high statistics. The 2p state in a Sn nucleus was observed for the first time. The binding energies and widths of the pionic states are determined and found to be consistent with previous experimental results of other Sn isotopes. The spectrum is measured at finite reaction angles for the first time. The formation cross sections at the reaction angles between 0° and 2° are determined. The observed reaction-angle dependence of each state is reproduced by theoretical calculations. However, the quantitative comparison with our high-precision data reveals a significant discrepancy between the measured and calculated formation cross sections of the pionic 1s state., 13 Apr. 2018, 120, 15, Scientific journal, 10.1103/physrevlett.120.152505

Winfield; X. Xu; H. Yamakami; J. Zhao, Excitation-energy spectra of C11 nuclei near the η′-meson production threshold have been measured by missing-mass spectroscopy using the C12(p,d) reaction. A carbon target has been irradiated with a 2.5 GeV proton beam supplied by the synchrotron SIS-18 at GSI to produce η′-meson bound states in C11 nuclei. Deuterons emitted at 0 in the reaction have been momentum analyzed by the fragment separator (FRS), used as a high-resolution spectrometer. No distinct structure due to the formation of η′-mesic states is observed although a high statistical sensitivity is achieved in the experimental spectra. Upper limits on the formation cross sections of η′-mesic states are determined, and thereby a constraint imposed on the η′-nucleus interaction is discussed., 12 Jan. 2018, 97, 1, Scientific journal, 10.1103/physrevc.97.015202

Hirenzaki, © 2017, SIF, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany. The η mesic nucleus is considered to be one of the interesting exotic many-body systems and has been studied since the 1980s theoretically and experimentally. Recently, the formation of the η mesic nucleus in the fusion reactions of the light nuclei such as d+ d→ (η+ α) → X has been proposed and the experiments have been performed by WASA-at-COSY. We develop a theoretical model to evaluate the formation rate of the η mesic nucleus in the fusion reactions and show the calculated results. We find that the η bound states could be observed in the reactions in cases with the strong attractive and small absorptive η-nucleus interactions. We compare our results with existing data of the d+ d→ η+ α and the d+ d→ 3He+ N+ π reactions. We find that the analyses by our theoretical model with the existing data can provide new information on the η-nucleus interaction., 01 Oct. 2017, 53, 10, 194, Scientific journal, 10.1140/epja/i2017-12381-7

The Green's function method is considered to be a better theoretical formalism than the effective number approach to evaluate the formation rate of unstable systems. We compare the calculated results by the Green's function method with those by the effective number approach in various cases. We find that the differences between the results obtained by both methods are reasonably small and we can reaffirm that the effective number approach is a good theoretical method for the analyses of the previous experimental data with typical binding-energy errors of Delta B. E. greater than or similar to 20 keV for the deeply bound pionic atoms. On the other hand, we think that theoretical results using the Green's function method will be necessary in the near future to deduce precise information on the pion properties in nuclei from analyses of the pionic atom data with better accuracy than before., Mar. 2015, 2015, 3, (13 pages), Scientific journal, 10.1093/ptep/ptv013

Zenke, In a search for ω mesic states, the production of ω-mesons in coincidence with forward going protons has been studied in photon induced reactions on 12C for incident photon energies of 1250-3100 MeV. The π0γ pairs from decays of bound or quasi-free ω-mesons have been measured with the CBELSA/TAPS detector system in coincidence with protons registered in the MiniTAPS forward array. Structures in the total energy distribution of the π0γ pairs, which would indicate the population and decay of bound ω 11B states, are not observed. The π0γ cross section of 0.3 nb MeV-1 sr-1 observed in the bound state energy regime between -100 and 0 MeV may be accounted for by yield leaking into the bound state regime because of the large in-medium width of the ω-meson. A comparison of the measured total energy distribution with calculations suggests the real part V0 of the ω 11B potential to be small and only weakly attractive with V0(ρ = ρ0) = - 15 ± 35(stat) ± 20(syst) MeV in contrast to some theoretical predictions of attractive potentials with a depth of 100-150 MeV. © 2014 Elsevier B.V., 07 Sep. 2014, 736, 26, 32, Scientific journal, 10.1016/j.physletb.2014.07.004
- Refereed, PROGRESS OF THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS, OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, (d,He-3) reaction on an odd-neutron nuclear target for the formation of deeply bound pionic atoms, Natsumi Ikeno; Junko Yamagata-Sekihara; Hideko Nagahiro; Satoru Hirenzaki, We consider pionic atom spectroscopy by the (d,He-3) reaction on an odd-neutron nuclear target in this article, which has not yet been investigated. In the (d,He-3) reaction on the odd-neutron nuclear target, we can observe pionic states in the even-neutron nucleus with spin-parity 0(+). We expect that these pionic states do not have additional shifts due to the effects of the residual interaction between neutron-hole and pionic states. For the even-neutron nuclear target cases, we may have to take into account the residual interaction effects to deduce the binding energies of the pionic states precisely from the high-precision experimental data, since the final pionic states are pion-particle plus neutron-hole [pi circle times n(-1)] states. Thus, in addition to widening the domain of pionic atom spectroscopy on the nuclear chart, the present study of the (d,He-3) reaction on an odd-neutron target is considered to be important to deduce extremely precise information on the binding energies of the observed pionic states, and to clarify the pion properties and aspects of the symmetries of the strong interaction at finite density. We modify the formula of the even-even nuclear target case to study pionic atom formation spectra on the even-odd nuclear target and show the numerical results of the Sn-117 target case. This experiment will be performed at RIBF/RIKEN in the near future., Jun. 2013, 2013, 6, 1, 15age, Scientific journal, 10.1093/ptep/ptt035
- Refereed, PHYSICAL REVIEW C, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, Formation of eta '(958)-mesic nuclei by the (p,d) reaction, Hideko Nagahiro; Daisuke Jido; Hiroyuki Fujioka; Kenta Itahashi; Satoru Hirenzaki, We calculate theoretically the formation spectra of. n' (958)-nucleus systems in the (p,d) reaction for the investigation of in-medium modification of the. n' mass. We show comprehensive numerical calculations based on a simple form of the. n' optical potential in nuclei with various potential depths. We conclude that one finds evidence of a possible attractive interaction between. n' and the nucleus as a peak structure appearing around the. n' threshold in light nuclei such as C-11, when the attractive potential is stronger than 100 MeV and the absorption width is of order 40 MeV or less. Spectroscopy of the (p, d) reaction is expected to be performed experimentally at existing facilities, such as GSI. We also estimate the contributions from the omega and phi mesons, which have masses close to the. n' meson, concluding that the observation of the peak structure of the. n' -mesic nuclei is not disturbed, although their contributions may not be small., Apr. 2013, 87, 4, 045201 1-8, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.87.045201

- Not Refereed, PHYSICS REPORTS-REVIEW SECTION OF PHYSICS LETTERS, ELSEVIER, Deeply bound pionic states in heavy nuclei, Toshimitsu Yamazaki; Satoru Hirenzaki; Ryugo S. Hayano; Hiroshi Toki, The present paper reviews theoretical and experimental studies of a new type of nuclear spectroscopy for the structure of deeply bound pi(-) states and their formation processes through "pion-transfer" nuclear reactions. The calculated energy levels of deeply bound pionic states in heavy nuclei using the standard pion-nucleus optical potential are found to be narrow discrete states even for the 1s state in Pb-208. These hitherto unexpected results are caused by the repulsive pion-nucleus optical potential which pushes pionic wavefunctions outwards so that the nuclear absorption of the bound pions is weakened. Theoretical studies on pion-transfer reactions were carried out as a methodological guide to produce these deeply bound pionic states experimentally. In particular, various predictions were made on the pion-transfer proton-pickup reactions (n, d) and (d, He-3). Following these theoretical studies successful experiments on high-resolution spectroscopy of (d, He-3) reactions were carried out at GSI. The experimental procedures and results together with their theoretical implications are also reviewed. The most important feature of deeply bound Is states of pi(-) in heavy nuclei is that it provides unique information on the s-wave isovector pi(-) N interaction which is connected to reduction of chiral symmetry breaking in the nuclear medium. Recent experiments on Pb and Sn isotopes have yielded clear evidence for partial restoration of chiral symmetry in the nuclear medium. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

- Not Refereed, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, η '-Nucleus optical potential and possible η ' bound states, H. Nagahiro; S. Hirenzaki; E. Oset; A. Ramos, Starting from a recent model of the η 'N interaction, we evaluate the η '-nucleus optical potential, including the contribution of lowest order in density, tρ/2mη', together with the second-order terms accounting for η ' absorption by two nucleons. We also calculate the formation cross section of the η ' bound states from (π +, p) reactions on nuclei. The η '-nucleus potential suffers from uncertainties tied to the poorly known η 'N interaction, which can be partially constrained by the experimental modulus of the η 'N scattering length and/or the recently measured transparency ratios in η ' nuclear photoproduction. Assuming an attractive interaction and taking the claimed experimental value |a η'N|=0.1 fm, we obtain an η ' optical potential in nuclear matter at saturation density of Vη'=-(8.7+1.8i)MeV, not attractive enough to produce η ' bound states in light nuclei. Larger values of the scattering length give rise to deeper optical potentials, with moderate enough imaginary parts. For a value |aη'N|=0.3fm, which can still be considered to lie within the uncertainties of the experimental constraints, the spectra of light and medium nuclei show clear structures associated to η '-nuclear bound states and to threshold enhancements in the unbound region. © 2012 Elsevier B.V., 13 Mar. 2012, 709, 1-2, 87, 92, Scientific journal, 10.1016/j.physletb.2012.01.061
- Not Refereed, PHYSICAL REVIEW C, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, Nuclear bound state of eta ' (958) and partial restoration of chiral symmetry in the eta ' mass, Daisuke Jido; Hideko Nagahiro; Satoru Hirenzaki, The in-medium mass of the eta' meson is discussed in a context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. The eta' mass is expected to be reduced by an order of 100 MeV at the saturation density. The reduction is a consequence of the suppression of the anomaly effect on the eta' mass induced by partial restoration of chiral symmetry. This strong attraction in eta' nuclear systems does not accompany large absorption of eta' into nuclear matter. This leads to the possibility of so narrow bound states of the eta' meson in nuclei to be seen in hadronic reactions with light nuclear targets., Mar. 2012, 85, 3, 032201, 1-5, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.85.032201

Jido; S. Hirenzaki, We develop a model to evaluate the formation rate of the heavy mesic nuclei in two-nucleon pick-up reactions and apply it to the 6Li target cases for the formation of heavy meson-α bound states, as examples. The existence of the quasideuteron in the target nucleus is assumed in this model. It is found that mesic nuclei formation in recoilless kinematics is possible even for heavier mesons than the nucleon in two-nucleon pick-up reactions. We find the formation rate of the meson-α bound states can be around half of the elementary cross sections at the recoilless kinematics with small distortions. © 2011 American Physical Society., 09 Nov. 2011, 84, 5, 054609, 1-7, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.84.054609

We find that the non-yrast pionic states such as 2s are expected to be seen in the (d,He-3) spectra, which will be helpful to reduce uncertainties of the theoretical calculations in the neutron wave functions in nucleus. The observation of the 2s state with the ground is state is also helpful to reduce the experimental uncertainties associated in the calibration of the absolute excitation energy. We find that the nuclear densities probed by atomic pions are quite stable and almost constant for various atomic states and various nuclei. Effects of the pion wave function renormalization to the formation spectra are also evaluated., Sep. 2011, 126, 3, 483, 509, Scientific journal, 10.1143/PTP.126.483

We consider ((p) over bar, phi), (gamma, p) and (pi(-), n) reactions to produce a phi-meson inside the nucleus and evaluate the effects of its medium modifications to the reaction cross sections. We also estimate the consequences of the uncertainties of the in-medium (K) over bar self-energy to the phi-nucleus interaction. We find that it may be possible to see peak structures in the reaction spectra for the strong attractive potential cases. On the other hand, for strong absorptive interaction cases with relatively weak attraction, it is very difficult to observe clear peaks and we may need to know the spectrum shape in a wide energy region to deduce the properties of phi., Jul. 2010, 124, 1, 147, 162, Scientific journal, 10.1143/PTP.124.147

Ramos, We study the (K-,p) reaction on nuclei with a 1 GeV/c momentum kaon beam, paying special attention to the region of emitted protons having kinetic energy above 600 MeV, which was used to claim a deeply attractive kaon nucleus optical potential. Our model describes the nuclear reaction in the framework of a local density approach and the calculations are performed following two different procedures: one is based on a many-body method using the Lindhard function and the other is based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation method offers flexibility to account for processes other than kaon quasielastic scattering, such as K- absorption by one and two nucleons, producing hyperons, and allows consideration of final-state interactions of the K-, the p, and all other primary and secondary particles on their way out of the nucleus, as well as the weak decay of the produced hyperons into πN. We find a limited sensitivity of the cross section to the strength of the kaon optical potential. We also show a serious drawback in the experimental setup-the requirement for having, together with the energetic proton, at least one charged particle detected in the decay counter surrounding the target-as we find that the shape of the original cross section is appreciably distorted, to the point of invalidating the claims made in the experimental paper on the strength of the kaon nucleus optical. © 2010 The American Physical Society., 24 Feb. 2010, 81, 2, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.81.024609

We show the expected spectra for the formation of the K-pp, K-pn, K-nn, and K - B11 systems that are accessible by the (K-,N) experiments. By considering the conversion part of the Green's function, we show the missing mass spectra of the (K-,N) reactions in coincident with the particle emissions due to K̄ absorption. To calculate the cross sections, we use the so-called Tρ approximation to evaluate the optical potential. As for the amplitude T, we adopt the chiral unitary amplitude of K̄N channel in vacuum for simplicity. The effects of the p-wave optical potential of Σ(1385) channel and the contributions from K̄0 mixing in He3(K-,n) reaction are also evaluated numerically. We also study the behavior of the poles of kaon Green's function in nuclear matter. We conclude that He3(K-,n) and He3(K-,p) reaction spectra in coincident with the πΣ emission may show the structure in the kaon bound region indicating the existence of the unstable kaonic nuclear states.

Hirenzaki, We study eta-meson properties in the infinite nuclear matter and in atomic nuclei with an emphasis on effects of the eta coupling to N* (1535)-nucleon-hole modes. The N* (1535) resonance, which dominates the low-energy eta-nucleon scattering, can be seen as a chiral partner of the nucleon. The change of the chiral mass gap between the N* and the nucleon in a nuclear medium has an impact on the properties of the eta-nucleus system. If the N*-nucleon mass gap decreases with a density increase (chiral symmetry restoration) the calculations show the existence of the resonance state at the energy about 60 MeV and two bound eta-nucleus states with the binding energies about - 80 MeV. These states can have strong effect on predicted cross sections of the 12C(γ, p)11B reaction with eta-meson production. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

We found that the nuclear density probed by the atomic kaon significantly depends on the kaon orbit. Then, we re-examined the meanings of the observed strengths of one-body and two-body kaon absorption, and investigated the effects to the formation spectra of kaon bound states by in-flight (K-, p) reactions. As a natural consequence, if the atomic kaon probes a smaller nuclear density, the ratio of the two-body absorption at nuclear center is larger than the observed value in kaonic atoms, and the depth of the imaginary potential is deeper even at smaller kaon energies as in kaonic nuclear states because of the large phase space for the two-body processes. This deeper imaginary potential makes the signals of kaonic nucleus formation more unclear in the (K-, p) spectra., 08 Feb. 2007, 31, 2, 255, 262, 10.1140/epja/i2006-10187-4

We conclude that valuable information of meson-nucleus interactions can be extracted from global structure of the missing mass spectra in the (γ, p) reaction. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Yamazaki, We find a remarkable agreement of the excitation energy spectrum of the 208Pb(d,3He) reaction measured at Td=600 MeV near the π- production threshold with its theoretical prediction. Their comparison leads us to assign the distinct narrow peak observed at about 5 MeV below the threshold to the formation of bound pionic states π ⊗ 207Pb of the quasisubstitutional configurations (2p)π-(3p3/2,3p1/2)-1n . A small bump observed on the tail of the peak is assigned to the pionic 1s state. The binding energies (Bnl) and the widths (Γnl) of the pionic orbitals are deduced to be B2p=5.13±0.02 (stat)±0.12 (syst) MeV and Γ2p = 0.43±0.06 (stat) ±0.06 (syst) MeV by decomposing the experimental spectrum into the pionic 1s and 2p components. While B2p and Γ2p are determined with small ambiguity, B2p and Γ2p are strongly correlated with each other, and are affected by the relative 1 s/2p cross section ratio assumed, since the 1s component is observed only as an unresolved bump. Thus, we have to allow large uncertainties 6.6 MeV<;B1s<6.9 MeV and 0.4 MeV<Γ1s <1.2 MeV. The experimental binding energies and widths are compared with theoretically calculated values based on various optical potential parameter sets, and are jointly used to deduce the effective π- mass in the nuclear medium., Aug. 2000, 62, 2, 252021, 2520212, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.62.025202

Ramos, We study kaonic atoms over the periodic table using a kaon self-energy in the nuclear medium derived from the SU(3) chiral unitary model. This model is quite successful in reproducing the scattering amplitude of meson meson and the strangeness S = - 1 meson baryon reactions. In particular the properties of the Δ (1405) resonance are well reproduced. In the nuclear medium the properties of this resonance are appreciably modified, and consequently the kaon nucleon scattering amplitudes, leading to an attractive kaon nucleus self-energy for densities higher than ρ0/25. With this interaction we are able to reproduce shifts and widths of kaonic atoms over the periodic table. We also investigate the region of deeply bound kaonic nuclear states which appear with very large widths in medium and heavy nuclei. Some of the deep atomic states, still unobserved, appear with narrower widths than the separation between levels, which makes them eligible for experimental observation. To this end, we make some estimates of the rates of formation in the (K-,γ) reaction., May 2000, 61, 5, 552051, 552056, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.61.055205

The agreement of the theory with the experiment is fair for the data taken at T-d = 2.3 GeV. The Delta excitation in the projectile is predicted close to the observed energy with the correct width. The theory, however, underpredicts by about 40% the cross sections measured at T-d = 1.6 GeV at angles where the cross section has fallen by about two orders of magnitude.

The agreement of the theory with the experiment is fair for the data taken at Td=2.3 GeV. The Δ excitation in the projectile is predicted close to the observed energy with the correct width. The theory, however, underpredicts by about 40% the cross sections measured at Td = 1.6 GeV at angles where the cross section has fallen by about two orders of magnitude. The analysis done here allows us to extract an approximate strength for the excitation of the Roper [N*(1440)] excitation and a qualitative agreement with the theoretical predictions is also found., Apr. 2000, 61, 4, 446051, 446057, Scientific journal

Münzenberg; S. Hirenzaki; H. Toki; T. Yamazaki, We find a remarkable agreement of the excitation energy spectrum of the [Formula Presented] reaction measured at [Formula Presented] near the [Formula Presented] production threshold with its theoretical prediction. Their comparison leads us to assign the distinct narrow peak observed at about 5 MeV below the threshold to the formation of bound pionic states [Formula Presented] of the quasisubstitutional configurations [Formula Presented] A small bump observed on the tail of the peak is assigned to the pionic [Formula Presented] state. The binding energies [Formula Presented] and the widths [Formula Presented] of the pionic orbitals are deduced to be [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] by decomposing the experimental spectrum into the pionic [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] components. While [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] are determined with small ambiguity, [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] are strongly correlated with each other, and are affected by the relative [Formula Presented] cross section ratio assumed, since the [Formula Presented] component is observed only as an unresolved bump. Thus, we have to allow large uncertainties [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] The experimental binding energies and widths are compared with theoretically calculated values based on various optical potential parameter sets, and are jointly used to deduce the effective [Formula Presented] mass in the nuclear medium. © 2000 The American Physical Society., 2000, 62, 2, 12, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.62.025202

Hirenzaki; E. Oset; H. Toki, We study the ρ0 and φ decays into π+ π- γ, π0π0γ and φ into π0ηγ using a chiral unitary approach to deal with the final state interaction of the MM system. The final state interaction modifies only moderately the large momenta tail of the photon spectrum of the p0→ π+π-γ decay. In the case of φ decay the contribution to π+π-γ and π0π0γ decay proceeds via kaonic loops and gives a distribution of ππ invariant masses in which the f0(980) resonance shows up with a very distinct peak. The spectrum found for φ → π0π0γ decay agrees with the recent experimental results obtained at Novosibirsk. The branching ratio for φ → π0ηγ, dominated by the a0(980), is also in agreement with recent Novosibirsk results.

Kume, We have examined a possibility of determining the pion-nucleus potential parameters from the quadrupole hyperfine structure of the deeply bound pionic atoms in deformed nuclei. It is shown that the potential parameter sets, which lead to the similar level shifts and widths for spherical nuclei, predict fairly different hyperfine structure in deformed nuclei. However, the individual hyperfine levels overlap due to the large widths of deeply bound pionic levels and the detailed level structure is masked somewhat. The sensitivity of the pionic X-ray transition spectrum to the different potential parameter sets is also studied and could be used to distinguish the potential parameter sets experimentally. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V., 22 Feb. 1999, 646, 4, 467, 478, Scientific journal, 10.1016/S0375-9474(98)00632-0

Hirenzaki; E. Oset; P. Fernández De Córdoba, Recent experiments at Saturne at 4 GeV showed that the (α, α′) reaction on the proton shows two distinctive peaks, which were associated to Δ projectile excitation and Roper target excitation. A subsequent theoretical analysis has shown that this picture is qualitatively correct but there are important interference effects between the two mechanisms. Futhermore, at this energy the ratio of strengths for the Roper and Δ peak is about 1/4. In the present paper we argue that by going to the 10-15 GeV region the interference effects become negligible, the signal for the Roper excitation is increased by more than an order of magnitude and the ratio of cross sections at the peaks for Roper and Δ excitation becomes of the order of unity, thus making this range of energies very appropiate for studies of isoscalar Roper excitation., 20 Jun. 1996, 378, 1-4, 29, 34, Scientific journal, 10.1016/0370-2693(96)00369-3

The theoretical investigation shows that the Roper excitation in the proton target mediated by an isoscalar exchange is the dominant mechanism in the process. We determine an effective isoscalar interaction by means of which the experimental cross section is well reproduced.

The vacuum energy has already been obtained to the order of one-loop in many people. Here we calculate the vacuum energy in D dimensions to two-loop order. With an intention to reach higher loops, an approximation method is proposed, which is especially effective in higher dimensions. By this method, we can treat the higher-loop contributions of YM interactions as easily as we treat one-loop effect. As a check, we show reproduction of the two-loop contribution (D-dependence of the coefficient as well as the functional form) when the coupling constant is small. This approximation method is useful not only for the Kaluza-Klein theories but also for the finite temperature-density system (as a quark-gluon plasma). © 1992 Springer-Verlag., Mar. 1992, 53, 1, 91, 96, Scientific journal, 10.1007/BF01483877

The amount of condensation is also estimated in the case of the Dirac Lagrangian with the four-fermion interaction. The physical implications of the above analyses are discussed., 1992, 9, 10, 2277, 2286, Scientific journal, 10.1088/0264-9381/9/10/011

Yamazaki, We have studied theoretically the proton pick-up (d,3He) reactions leading to deeply bound pionic atoms. The forward scattering cross sections for an incident energy Td=600 MeV have been calculated using the effective number approach for the Pb208 target nucleus. It was found that the pionic 2p state has the maximum cross section among all calculated states. We conclude that (d,3He) reactions produce pionic atoms in a detectable manner. © 1991 The American Physical Society., 1991, 44, 6, 2472, 2479, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.44.2472
- Not Refereed, Nuclear Physics, Section A, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Pion-transfer (n, d) and (d, 3He) reactions leading to deeply bound pionic atoms, H. Toki; S. Hirenzaki; T. Yamazaki, Theoretical studies are given on the (n, d) and (d, 3He) reactions leading to deeply bound pionic atoms in heavy nuclei of configuration [(nl)π·jn-1]J. The cross sections for various pionic and neutron-hole configurations in the case of a 208Pb target are calculated at incident energies 300-1000 MeV/u by using the effective number approach and the eikonal approximation for distortion. The effective number with a pion in the 1s or 2p state and a neutron hole in the i 13 2 orbit peaks around the same incident energy (Tn = 600 MeV) as the elementary cross section n+n→d+π-, where the momentum transfer matches the angular-momentum transfer of L = 5-7. The DWIA cross section for (n,d) producing a pion in the 1s or 2p orbit at Tn = 600 MeV is found to be around 42 or 75 μb/sr, respectively. At Tn = 350 MeV, where the momentum transfer is small, quasi-substitutional states of configurations [(2p)π(3p 1 2)n-1]L = 0 and [(2p)π(3p 3 2)n-1]L = 0 are preferentially populated with (n, d) cross sections of 95 and 190 μb/sr, respectively. The (d, 3He) cross sections are estimated to be an order of magnitude smaller than the (n, d) cross sections. Thus, the (n, d) and (d, 3He) reactions are found to be suited for the production of deeply bound pionic atoms. © 1991., 1991, 530, 3-4, 679, 697, Scientific journal, 10.1016/0375-9474(91)90774-Z

Yen, A search for deeply bound - states in heavy nuclei was undertaken using the pion-transfer Pb208(n,p) reaction at the TRIUMF CHARGEX facility. Monoenergetic 418-MeV neutrons from the Li7(p,n) reaction were used to induce (n,p) reactions on a segmented Pb208 target. The spectrum between 100- and 180-MeV excitation energy was measured with an energy resolution of 1.15 MeV (FWHM). In the region of 120140 MeV, where the deeply bound pionic states were expected, the observed spectrum exhibited a smooth continuumlike behavior with a cross section of 0.8 mb/sr MeV. This resulted in an upper limit of 0.35 mb/sr for the production cross section of - bound states in Pb208. This cross section is substantially smaller than the estimate based on the plane-wave impulse approximation, showing the importance of the effect of distortion. The distortion effect is calculated and discussed. © 1991 The American Physical Society., 1991, 43, 3, 1099, 1105, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevC.43.1099

Yamazaki, A theoretical study is done to see how the properties of deeply bound pionic atoms depend on the neutron skin. With increased neutron skin, the strong isovector part of the pion-nucleus optical potential helps developing a repulsive bump at the nuclear surface which pushes the pionic wave function further out and decreases the binding energy. With further increase of the neutron skin, the repulsive potential in the central part is reduced and an inner component of the wave function develops in the nuclear interior, and ultimately a pion bounds state of large width is formed in the deeper interior for Rn-Rp≥ 0.35 fm. © 1990., 25 Oct. 1990, 249, 3-4, 391, 395, Scientific journal, 10.1016/0370-2693(90)91004-U

- Not Refereed, Nuclear Physics, Section A, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Structure and formation of deeply-bound pionic atoms, H. Toki; S. Hirenzaki; T. Yamazaki; R. S. Hayano, We have calculated spectra of deeply-bound pionic atoms using the standard pion-nucleus optical potential. The widths of the deeply-bound states are found to be narrow and are considered as quasi-stable states even for the 1s state in 208Pb. These unexpected results are caused by the repulsive pion-nucleus optical potential which pushes the pionic wave functions outwards so that the pion absorption by the nucleus is weakened. These deeply-bound π states have hybrid character, somewhere between pionic nuclei and pionic atoms constituting a pion halo around the nucleus. This result remains relatively unchanged by the use of different optical potentials, as far as they reproduce shallow pionic atoms. We propose to produce these deeply-bound pionic atoms, hitherto untouched region, by using the "pion transfer" (n, p) reaction, where π is transferred to the target nucleus. We have calculated the cross sections for the formation of various deeply bound states via the (n, p) reaction within the framework of a plane-wave approximation. The calculated cross section increases rapidly with the nuclear charge and indicates that the detection of unexplored deeply bound pionic atoms is feasible. We comment also on the use of complex projectiles for the 'pion-transfer' reactions such as (d, 2He). © 1989., 02 Oct. 1989, 501, 4, 653, 671, Scientific journal, 10.1016/0375-9474(89)90154-1

- Refereed, Vacuum energy for Yang-Mills fields in $R^d\times S^1$: One-loop, two-loop, and beyond, Kiyoshi Shiraishi; Satoru Hirenzaki, The vacuum energy is calculated for Yang-Mills (YM) system defined in $D$ dimensional space-time of $S^1\times R^d$ ($D=d+1$), where the possibility of the YM fields to acquire the vacuum expectation values on $S^1$ is taken into account. The vacuum energy has already been obtained to the order of one-loop in many people. Here we calculate the vacuum energy in $D$ dimensions to two-loop order. With an intention to reach higher loops, an approximation method is proposed, which is especially effective in higher dimensions. By this method, we can treat the higher-loop contributions of YM interactions as easily as we treat one-loop effect. As a check, we show reproduction of the two-loop contribution ($D$-dependence of the coefficient as well as the functional form) when the coupling constant is small. This approximation method is useful not only for the Kaluza-Klein theories but also for the finite temperature-density system (as a quark-gluon plasma)., 02 Mar. 2018, True, False, 10.1007/BF01483877

O. Yamamoto, We have measured an inclusive missing-mass spectrum of the C-12(K-, p) reaction over wide energy region at the kaon incident momentum of 1.8 GeV/c at J-PARC K1.8 beam line. This measurement was carried out as a by-product of a pilot run of J-PARC E05 experiment, which searched for the Xi-hypernuclei via C-12(K-, K+) reaction. We have compared the observed missing-mass spectrum with a DWIA calculation to study the (K) over bar -nucleus interaction. In this comparison, we have changed the depth of both real and imaginary parts of the optical potential between the (K) over bar and nucleus. It is found that the observed spectrum is best reproduced by the calculation of the potential depth of V-0 similar to -80 MeV (real part) and W-0 similar to -40 MeV (imaginary part). On the other hand, we have observed a definitive excess around the deeply bound region B-K greater than or similar to 100 MeV. The excess cannot be explained by the any optical potential and quasi-free background reaction. It is well fitted with a Breit-Wigner function with a binding energy of 90 MeV and a width of 100 MeV, which can be interpreted as a deeply bound Lambda(1405) nucleus., 2019, 2130, 10.1063/1.5118414

Hirenzaki, Effective nuclear densities probed by anti-kaon-nucleus systems is studied theoretically both for bound and low energy scattering states. As for the bound states, we investigate kaonic atoms. We find that the effective density depends on the atomic states significantly and we have the possibility to obtain the anti-kaon properties at various nuclear densities by observing the several kaonic atom states. We also find the energy dependence of the probed density by scattering states. We find that the study of the effective nuclear density will help to find the proper systems to investigate the meson properties at various nuclear densities. © 2013 Elsevier B.V., Sep. 2013, 914, 344, 348, 10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2013.01.085

We emphasize that the U-A (1) anomaly effects cause the eta'-eta mass difference necessarily through the chiral symmetry breaking. As a consequence, the eta' mass is expected to be reduced by order of 100 MeV in nuclear matter where about 30% reduction of chiral symmetry takes place. The strong attraction relating to the eta' mass generation eventually implies that there should be also a strong attractive interaction in the scalar channel of the eta'-N two-body system. We find that the attraction can be strong enough to form a bound state. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved., Sep. 2013, 914, 354, 359, 10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2012.12.097

At different scattering angles, we find that the different subcomponents dominate the formation spectra because of the matching condition of the reaction. We also find that the pionic 1s state which is free from the residual interaction effects appears clearly in 117Sn(d, 3He) spectra. We conclude that the observation of the (d,3He) reaction for these new cases will provide more systematic and accurate information on the pionic bound states, and it will help to develop the study of the pion properties and the partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclei. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Wien., Aug. 2013, 54, 7-10, 1573, 1576, 10.1007/s00601-012-0556-2

In nuclear medium, the η′ meson mass may be reduced due to partial restoration of chiral symmetry.

The h-PRiME collaboration (Japan-Germany-Austria) searches for h0(958) meson-nucleus bound states. The mass of the h0 meson is much greater than the values if it were a pure Goldstone boson associated with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry. The extra mass is to be attributed to non-perturbative gluon dynamics and the QCD axial anomaly. The h0 in media will be influenced through chiral restoration and the axial U(1) dynamics, causing accordingly a sizable mass reduction and a strong binding to the nucleus, on which an observation of such states will provide valued information. The data taking (S437 experiment) using inclusive missing mass spectroscopy of (p;d) reaction off carbon target will take place in summer 2014 at the FRS spectrometer at GSI., 2013

We study theoretically the formation of the deeply bound pionic atoms in various cases to deduce the pion properties in nuclei precisely from the observables. We show the angular dependence of the pionic atom formation spectra of the 122Sn(d,3He) reactions in the forward angles. At each scattering angle, a different combination of the pion-bound and neutron-hole states dominates the spectrum because of the kinematical condition. We conclude that we can obtain information on the deeply bound pionic 2p state in addition to the 1s and 2s states by observing the spectra in finite angles. We also consider the neutron-odd nucleus as a target nucleus of the formation reaction, because it has an advantage that the pionic atom is formed in the even-even nucleus, of which the ground state has no neutron-hole states. In the 117Sn(d;3He) reaction, we find that we can see clearly the peak structure of the pionic 1s state formation with the ground state of the even-even nucleus 116Sn. The pionic atom in the even-even nucleus will not have additional shifts induced by the effects of the residual interaction between pion-bound and neutron-hole states. The observation of these pionic states is preferable for extracting the accurate information on the pion properties from data., 2013, 127, 5, 1568, 1570, 10.12693/APhysPolA.127.1568

As a consequence, it is expected that the η′ mass is reduced by order of 100 MeV in nuclear matter where partial restoration of chiral symmetry takes place. The discussion given here is based on Ref.

Oset, We perform a theoretical study of the spectrum of protons with kinetic energies of around 600 MeV, emitted following the interaction of 1 GeV/c kaons with nuclei. A recent experimental analysis of this (K-, p) reaction on 12C, based on the dominant quasielastic process, has suggested a deeply attractive kaon nucleus potential. Our Monte Carlo simulation considers, in addition, the one-and two-nucleon K- absorption processes producing hyperons that decay into πN pairs. We find that this kaon in-flight reaction is not well suited to determine the kaon optical potential due, essentially, to the limited sensitivity of the cross section to its strength, and also to unavoidable uncertainties from the coincidence requirement applied in the experiment. A shallow kaon nucleus optical potential obtained in chiral models is perfectly compatible with the observed spectrum. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

In our Monte Carlo simulation of this reaction we include not only the quasi-elastic K-p scattering, as in [1], but also K- absorption by one and two nucleons followed by the decay of the hyperon in πN, which can also produce strength in the region of interest. The final state interactions in terms of multiple scattering of the K-, p and all other primary particles on their way out of the nucleus is also considered.

The experiment looks for fast protons, but in coincidence with at least one charged particle in a decay counters sandwiching the target.

- Nonlinear Phenomena in Complex Systems, The (K-, p) reaction on 12C at KEK, V. K. Magas; J. Yamagata-Sekihara; S. Hirenzaki; E. Oset; A. Ramos, We study the (K-, p) reaction on 12C with a kaon beam of 1 GeV momentum, paying a special attention to the region of emitted protons having kinetic energy above 600 MeV, which was used to claim a deep kaon nucleus optical potential [1]. The experiment looks for fast protons emitted from the absorption of in flight kaons by nuclei, but in coincidence with at least one charged particle in the decay counters sandwiching the target. The analysis of the data is done in [1] assuming that the coincidence requirement does not change the shape of the final spectra. However our detailed calculations show that this assumption does not hold, and, thus, the final conclusion of this experiment is doubtful. We perform Monte Carlo simulation of this reaction. The advantage of our method with respect to Green's function method used in [1] is that it allows to account not only for quasi-elastic K-p scattering, but also for the other processes which contribute to the proton spectra. We investigated the effect of the multi-scatterings and of the K- absorptions by one and two nucleons (K-N → πY and K -NN → YN) followed by the decay of the hyperon in πN. We show that all these mechanisms allow us to explain reasonably well the observed spectrum with "standard" shallow kaon nucleus optical potential, obtained in chiral models., 2009, 12, 4, 414, 418

In particular, we study the Quasi-Elastic (QE) process, where RPA correlations and Final State Interactions (FSI) are shown to play a crucial role. We have also investigated the ν induced coherent pion production. We find a strong reduction of the cross section due to the distortion of the pion wave function and the modification of the production mechanisms in the nucleus. The sensitivity of the results to the axial NΔ coupling C5A(0) has been also investigated. © 2008 World Scientific Publishing Company., 30 Sep. 2008, 23, 27-30, 2321, 2324, 10.1142/s0217732308029290

We evaluate the N*(1535) properties in the nuclear medium using two kinds of chiral models, and find that these two models provide qualitatively different eta-nucleus optical potentials reflecting the quite distinct properties of N*(1535) in these chiral models. Especially, in the chiral doublet model, we can expect to have the level crossing between eta and N*(1535)-hole which is expected to provide the characteristic features for the optical potential and the formation spectra. We find also that the difference of these models can be seen in the formation cross sections of the eta mesic nuclei with (pi(+),p) reaction expected to be performed at J-PARC project., Sep. 2008, 23, 27-30, 2512, 2515, 10.1142/S0217732308029691

Mosel, We have investigated the neutrino induced coherent pion production reaction at the energies of interest for recent experiments like K2K and MiniBooNE. The model includes pion, nucleon and the δ( 1232) resonance. Medium effects in the production mechanism and the distortion of the pion wave function are taken into account. We find a strong reduction of the cross section due to these effects and also substantial modifications in the energy distributions of the final pion. The sensitivity of the results on the axial N-δ coupling CA5 (0) and the coherent fraction in neutral-current π0 production are discussed. © 2007 American Institute of Physics., 2007, 967, 201, 204, 10.1063/1.2834478

A (1) anomaly at finite density, Hideko Nagahiro; Makoto Takizawa; Satoru Hirenzaki, We discuss the possibility of producing the bound states of the η′(958) meson in nuclei theoretically using the the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. We calculate the formation cross section of the η′ bound states with the Green function method for the (γ,p) reaction and discuss the experimental feasibility at photon facilities such as SPring-8. We conclude that we can expect to observe resonance peaks in (γ,p) spectra for the formation of η′ bound states and we can deduce new information on η′ properties at finite density. These observations are believed to be essential to know the possible mass shift of η′ and deduce new information on the effective restoration of the chiral UA(1) anomaly at finite density. © 2006 American Institute of Physics., 2006, 842, 228, 230, 10.1063/1.2220233 - Not Refereed, Nuclear Physics A, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, In-medium properties of N*(1535) in chiral models and η-nucleus interaction, H.

The order parameter of the symmetry breaking is the' chiral condensate, whose magnitude is predicted to decrease linearly as the nuclear density is increased. ' The reduction of quark condensate was quantitatively studied from recent precise measurement of deeply bound pionic Is states " on three tin (Sn) isotopes. We made use of the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation which connects the magnitude of quark-codensate to a pion decay constant, and then used the Tomozawa-Wemberg relation which relates the pion decay constant to an isovector strength of the pion-nucleus potential. The potential strength was determined by fitting the measured pionic Is-state binding energies. The result shows that the quark-condensate strength is reduced by about 35% at normal nuclear density, compared with the "vacuum" value obtained from pionic hydrogen X-ray measurements This is the first quantitative deduction of the quark condensate modification at finite nuclear density, and is an important step towards understanding the origin of hadron masses., 2005, 60, 1, 12, 19, 10.11316/butsuri1946.60.12

The N*(1535) properties in the nuclear medium are evaluated by two kinds of chiral effective models based on distinct pictures of N*(1535). We find that these two models provide qualitatively different optical potentials of the η meson, reflecting the different in-medium properties of N*(1535) expected in these two models. In order to compare these models in physical observables, we calculate spectra of (d,3He) reactions for the η mesic nucleus formation with various kinds of target nuclei. We show that the (d, 3He) spectra obtained in these models are significantly different and are expected to be distinguishable in experiments., 2004, 153, 153, 340, 343, 10.1143/PTPS.153.340

The observed spectrum agreed quite well with the theoretical prediction where the formation cross section was calculated for the deeply bound picnic states. These states are accommodated in proximity to the nuclear surface as halo states in a potential provided by the attractive Coulomb and the repulsive core. The binding energies and the widths were precisely determined, and the values were used to deduce the unknown s-wave part of the Ti-nueleus interaction and to translate it to the effective pion mass in nuclear matter., 2002, 619, 749, 752

On the other hand we show the results of the analysis of the (alpha,alpha') reaction on a proton target exciting the Roper resonance with an isoscalar source. This novel excitation channel of the Roper is found to play a major role in the NN --> NN pi pi reaction close to threshold., 1997, 4, 233, 242

We calculate the uncertainties of determining the value of sigmaπN with the accurate data of the deeply bound pionic atoms expected to be obtained at the RI Beam Factory (RIBF), RIKEN. We find that the energy gap of the 1s and 2p pionic states, (Bπ(1s) - Bπ(2p)), and the width of the 1s state for the lighter Sn isotope are expected to be important observables to precisely determine the σπN value by taking into account the expected errors of the experiments., Sep. 2022, 142, 3, 342, 346, 10.12693/APhysPolA.142.342

In this project, we made collaborations for researches on deeply bound pionic atoms at RIKEN, eta and eta(958) mesic nucleus at COSY and GSI in Germany, and kaonic nucleus at JPARC, and we obtained new information on properties of each meson. Based on the new information, we are trying to deepen our understandings of the strong interaction symmetry., kaken

The pattern of the symmetry breaking and its restoration are considered to be understood by the relations between various phenomena and properties of various mesons. This kind of study is unique and complementary to that of the high energy heavy ion collisions. The main results of this project are the developments of the theoretical studies of (i) the structure and formation of eta(958) meson-nucleus bound states based on eta(958) properties at finite density, (ii) the high precision spectroscopy of the deeply bound pionic atoms, and (iii) the properties of vector mesons at finite density and observables., url;kaken

We have obtained the new information on strong interaction effects at finite density, structure of bound states, and formation cross sections for the systems of pionic atoms, Kaonic nuclei,η-,η(958)-, andφ-mesic nuclei systematically. We have also studied the possibility to apply the two nucleon transfer reactions to the formation of the heavy meson and nucleus systems., url;url;kaken

We focused our efforts on collaborations with experimental physicists carrying out experiments at SPring-8 and J-PARC etc., and also on to educate and encourage young students and post-doc researchers in these fields. We have achieved major development in the areas of exotic hadron spectroscopy including pentaquarks, possible K nucleus states, dense QCD and its phase structure, gamma spectroscopy of hypernuclei and generalized nuclear force, lattice QCD computation of baryon-baryon interactions, structure of double hypernuclei., url;kaken
- Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2004, 2006, 16540254, Principal investigator, Partial Restoration of Chiral Symmetry in Nuclear Medium and Mesic Atoms, HIRENZAKI Satoru, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nara Women's University, 3500000, 3500000, We have investigated the partial restoration of Chiral Symmtery in Nuclear Medium by considering the structure and formation of various mesic atoms and mesic nuclei like pionic atoms, kaonic atoms, kaonic nuclei, eta mesic nuclei, and eta(958) mesic nuclei. We have considered several microscopic theories to study the meson properties in nuclear medium to evaluate the binding energies and decay widths of mesic states in nuclei. We have also considered seriously the experimental feasibilities to observe these staes in realistic conditions which can be performed in the present facilities like Spring8, J-PARC, and RIBF. Ours main results are followings, (i) Structure and Formation of kaonic atoms are studied theoretically using the chiral unitary optical potential and the Green function method in addition to the effective number approach. We have concluded that the naive interpretation of the observed (K, N) spectrum as the indications of the kaonic nuclear states is very dangerous and must be chenked seriously. (ii) Eta and Eta (958) mesic nuclei is studied using the effective chiral NJL laglangian. We calculated the mass shift of the eta and eta(958) in nucleus and predicted the binding energies and widths of these states. One of the most interesting point of these staes is that the very heavy eta (958) mass is believed to be closely related to the U(1) quantum anomaly. We can expect to have the first experimental results of the medium effects on the quantumu anomaly. The theoretical predictions of the formation rate of these states are performed., kaken
- Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2002, 2003, 14540268, Principal investigator, In-medium Meson properties and Nuclear Exotres., HIRENZAKI Satoru, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nara Women's University, 3500000, 3500000, The properties of eta-nucleus interaction and their experimental consequences are investigated with eta-nucleus optical potentials obtained by postulating the N^*(1535) dominance for eta-N system. The N^*(1535) properties in nuclear medium are evaluated by two kinds of chiral effective models based on distinct pictures of N^*(1535). We find that these two models provide qualitatively different optical potentials of the eta meson, reflecting the in-medium properties of N^*(1535) in these models. In order to compare these models in physical observables, we calculate spectra of (d,3He) reactions for the eta mesic nucleus formation with various kinds of target nuclei. We show that the (d,3He) spectra obtained in these models are significantly different and are expected to be distinguishable in experiments. We also explore the possibility to observe an enhanced 2pi correlation in the scalar iso-scalar (sigma) channel in nuclei by (d,t) and (d,^3He) reactions to obtain new information on the partial restoration of chiral symmetry in the nuclear medium. The sensitivity of the reaction spectra on the change of the chiral condensate in the nuclear medium is examined.
