Coexisting collective structure and Baryon resonances
It is pointed out that the existence of similar collective band structure fostered on the excited J = 1/2 states is a systematic feature of the nonstrange and strange baryon resonances.

title: Unified Description of Pion-Photo-Production and Elastic Pion Scattering on the Deuteron in the Isobar-Doorway Model
abstract: It has been recognized recently1 that the strong dominance of the Δ(1236) isobar in nuclear reactions at medium energies advocates an explicit treatment of this degree of freedom in nuclei (in contrast to its implicit incorporation in an optical model description). Such a model, phrased commonly as isobar doorway or A* model1 has two particularly interesting features, (i) it forms a natural basis for a unified description of different isobar dominated scattering processes; (ii) it offers a more or less direct test of the isobar self energy in nuclei or, equivalently, of the ΔN interaction. An ideal testing ground for such a model seems to be deuteron: with all many-body complications being absent, predictions for scattering reactions on the deuteron should reflect and in this way allow direct investigation of the various ingredients of the model.

title: Meson-nucleus interaction - on the use of intensive meson beams for subnuclear research -
abstract: The use of intensive pion and kaon beams for subnuclear research is discussed. The goals of such investigations are briefly sketched and illustrated for some typical examples of specific flavour transfer reactions. It turns out that the meson beams which will be available at the proposed EHF will open up a new aera of subnuclear research. Such investigation touch upon quite fundamental questions of hadronic physics.

title: Pionic and electromagnetic excitation of A* resonances
abstract: The nuclear excitation spectrum in the Delta (3,3) energy range is studied by comparing elastic pion scattering with coherent neutral pion photoproduction. The corresponding multipole excitation strength distributions are found to be quite different. This emphasises the role of the electromagnetic excitations of nuclei for the investigation of the A* resonances which is complementary to their mesonic excitation. Results are presented for 12C( gamma , pi 0) 12C(GS); they are compared with those of the phenomenological isobar doorway model and of DWIA calculations.

title: Quark excitations of nuclei - A new frontier in nuclear research -
abstract: The investigation of nuclei in the energy domain of the elementary N*-resonances (i.e. for 200 MeV < Eexc < 2 GeV) opens up a new and important domain of nuclear research for essentially two reasons: (i) the quark structure of the nuclear constituent, the nucleon, leads to new nuclear phenomena; their investigation appears to be of fundamental importance for the understanding of complex hadronic systems; (ii) the nucleus can be used as a unique laboratory to test QCD in the nonasymptotic region where perturbative approaches fail. This is of particular interest, e.g. for the confinement problem. — Some specific aspects of subnuclear research are discussed in connection with the analysis of recent experiments and, in particular, in view of a possible strategy for a systematic investigation of nuclear quark excitations.

title: Going beyond the propagators of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory
abstract: We present results for the propagators and the ghost-gluon vertex of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory obtained from Dyson-Schwinger equations. Solving these three quantities simultaneously constitutes a new step in truncating these equations. We also introduce a new model for the three-gluon vertex that is motivated by lattice results. It features a zero crossing which is confirmed a posteriori by a Dyson-Schwinger calculation. Within our setup we can reproduce lattice data very well. We establish that also for the ghost-gluon vertex a difference between decoupling and scaling solutions is present. For the scaling solution we discuss the possibility of modifying the infrared exponents via an angle dependence of the ghost-gluon vertex. However, no such dependence is found in our calculations. Finally, we calculate the Schwinger function for the gluon propagator.

title: Quantum gates and multipartite entanglement resonances realized by motion
abstract: We demonstrate the presence of genuine multipartite entanglement between the modes of quantum fields in non-uniformly moving cavities. The transformations generated by the cavity motion can be considered as multipartite quantum gates. We present two setups for which multi-mode entanglement can be generated for bosons and fermions. As a highlight we show that the bosonic genuine multipartite correlations can be resonantly enhanced. Our results provide fundamental insights into the structure of Bogoliubov transformations and suggest strong links between quantum information, quantum fields in curved spacetimes and gravitational analogs by way of the equivalence principle.

title: Limits on WIMP–nucleon interactions from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search at the Soudan Underground Laboratory
abstract: We present the results of the first two data runs of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search at Soudan Underground Laboratory. These data exclude substantial new parameter space for both spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP–nucleon interactions within the standard halo model.

title: On the analytic structure of scalar glueball operators at the Born level
abstract: We study the analytic structure of the two-point function of the operator F 2 which is expected to describe a scalar glueball. The calculation of the involved integrals is complicated by nonanalytic structures in the integrands, which we take into account properly by identifying cuts generated by angular integrals and deforming the contours for the radial integration accordingly. The obtained locations of the branch points agree with Cutkosky’s cut rules. As input we use different nonperturbative Landau gauge gluon propagators with different analytic properties as obtained from lattice and functional calculations. All of them violate positivity and describe thus gluons absent from the asymptotic physical space. The resulting spectral densities for the glueball candidate show a cut but no poles for lightlike momenta, which can be attributed to the employed Born approximation.

title: On propagators and vertices of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory
abstract: We calculate the three-point functions of pure Landau gauge QCD and investigate their influence on the propagators. As expected, the ghost-gluon vertex leads only to minor modifications, while the three-gluon vertex has a sizeable impact on the mid-momentum regime of the gluon propagator. We describe an effective model of the three-gluon vertex that includes contributions from the neglected two-loop diagrams and thus allows to obtain propagators in good agreement with lattice results. We also determine the three-gluon vertex from these propagators and find good agreement with lattice results as well. In turn, these results allow us to assess the effect of the missing two-loop diagrams in the gluon propagator equation. Finally, we present the first self-consistent calculation that includes all two-and three-point functions.
