Fermilab E781 plans measurements of γ-Sigma and γ-pion interactions using a 600 GeV beam of Sigmas and pions, and a virtual photon target. Pion polarizabilities and radiative transitions will be measured in this experiment. The former can test a precise prediction of chiral symmetry; the latter for a1(1260)→ πγ is important for understanding the polarizability. The experiment also measures pola...

We evaluate the antikaon and hyperon spectral functions in a self-consistent and covariant many-body approach. The computation is based on coupled-channel dynamics derived from the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. A novel subtraction scheme is developed that avoids kinematical singularities and medium-induced power divergencies all together. Scalar and vector mean fields are used to model nuclear bindi...

Recent developments are summarised concerning low-energy K̄N interactions as they relate to the possible existence of antikaon-nuclear quasibound states. An exploratory study of antikaons bound to finite nuclei is performed, with emphasis on the evolution of such states from light to heavy nuclei (A = 16 208). The energy dependent, driving attractive K̄N interactions are constructed using the s-w...

The charged current antikaon production off nucleons induced by antineutrinos is studied at low and intermediate energies. We extend here our previous calculation on kaon production induced by neutrinos. We have developed a microscopic model that starts from the SU(3) chiral Lagrangians and includes background terms and the resonant mechanisms associated to the lowest lying resonance in the cha...

We study the Λ(1520) resonance in a coupled channel approach involving the πΣ(1385), KΞ(1530), ¯ KN and πΣ channels. Implementing unitarity in coupled channels, we make an analysis of the relative importance of the different mechanisms which contribute to the dynamical structure of this resonance. From experimental information on some partial wave amplitudes and constraints imposed by unitarity...

This paper empirically analyzes a particular type of notes observed in securitization transactions: combination notes. Combination notes are formed by combining parts of two or more tranches of securitization transactions, where one part usually consists of a share of the first loss piece. It is analyzed whether combination notes are purely demand driven, or whether combination notes also appea...

The following were among the many new instruments and services offered through the exposition at the New York meeting High-performance mass spectrometers for organic analysis In direct response to the explosive growth .in the pharmaceutical, biotechnical, and environmental industries, Finnigan MAT has introduced the TSQ 700 triple stage quadrupole and SSQ 700 single stage quadrupole mass spectr...

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has developed three sets of occupational employment projections for 1978 to 1990 based on varying outlooks of the future economy.' Although the assumptions that differentiate these scenarios result in various rates of growth for most jobs, changes in the occupational composition of total employment during these years are similar for all versions and generally corr...
