Measurement of the Cross-Section for the Process Gamma-Gamma to Proton-Antiproton at sqrt(s

a r X i v :h e p -e x /0307066v 125 J u l 20031Measurement of the Cross-Section for the Process γγ→p¯p at √s ee =183GeV and 189GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP.Results are presented for p¯pinvariant masses,W ,in the range 2.15<W <3.95GeV.The cross-section measurements are compared with previous data and with recent analytic calculations based on the quark-diquark model.1.INTRODUCTIONThe exclusive production of proton-antiproton (p¯p )pairs in the collision of two quasi-real pho-tons can be used to test predictions of QCD.At LEP the photons are emitted by the beam elec-trons 1and the p¯p pairs are produced in the pro-cess e +e −→e +e −γγ→e +e −p¯p .The application of QCD to exclusive photon-photon reactions is based on the work of Brod-sky and Lepage [1].Calculations based on this ansatz [2,3]use a specific model of the proton’s three-quark wave function by Chernyak and Zhit-nitsky [4].This calculation yields cross-sections about one order of magnitude smaller than the ex-isting experimental results [5,6,7,8,9,10,11],for p¯p centre-of-mass energies W greater than 2.5GeV.To model non-perturbative effects,the intro-duction of quark-diquark systems has been pro-posed [12].Recent studies [13]have extended the sys-tematic investigation of hard exclusive reac-tions within the quark-diquark model to photon-photon processes [14,15,16,17].The calculations of the integrated cross-section for the process γγ→p¯p in the angular range|cos θ∗|<0.6(where θ∗is the angle between the proton’s momentum and the electron beam di-rection in the p¯p centre-of-mass system)and for W >2.5GeV are in good agreement with ex-s ee =183GeV and 189GeV atLEP.The integrated luminosities for the two en-ergies are 62.8pb −1and 186.2pb −1.2.EVENT SELECTIONThe e +e −→e +e −p¯p events are selected by the following set of cuts:1.The sum of the energies measured in the barrel and endcap sections of the electro-magnetic calorimeter must be less than half the beam energy.2.Exactly two oppositely charged tracks are required with each track having at least 20hits in the central jet chamber to ensure a reliable determination of the specific energy loss d E/d x .The point of closest approach to the interaction point must be less than 1cm in the rφplane and less than 50cm in the z direction.3.For each track the polar angle must be in the range |cos θ|<0.75and the transverse momentum p ⊥must be larger than 0.4GeV.These cuts ensure a high trigger efficiency and good particle identification.24.The invariant mass W of the p¯p final state must be in the range 2.15<W <3.95GeV.The invariant mass is determined from the measured momenta of the two tracks using the proton mass.5.The events are boosted into the rest system of the measured p¯p final state.The scatter-ing angle of the tracks in this system has to satisfy |cos θ∗|<0.6.6.All eventsmustfulfil the trigger conditions described in [11].7.The large background from other exclusive processes,mainly the production of e +e −,µ+µ−,and π+π−pairs,is reduced by par-ticle identification using the specific energy loss d E/d x in the jet chamber and the energy in the electromagnetic calorimeter.The d E/d x probabilities of the tracks must be consistent with the p ands ee =183GeV and 128events at√d W d |cos θ∗|=N ev (W,|cos θ∗|)s ee is obtained from the differentialcross-section d σ(e +e −→e +e −p¯p )/d W using the luminosity function d L γγ/d W [20]:σ(γγ→p¯p )=d σ(e +e −→e +e −p¯p )d W.(2)3 The luminosity function d Lγγ/d W is calculatedby the Galuga program[21].The resulting dif-ferential cross-sections for the processγγ→p¯pin bins of W and|cosθ∗|are then summed over|cosθ∗|to obtain the total cross-section as a func-tion of W for|cosθ∗|<0.6.4.RESULT AND DISCUSSIONThe measured cross-sections[11]as a functionof W are showed in Fig.1.The average Win each bin has been determined by applying theprocedure described in[22].The measured cross-sectionsσ(γγ→p¯p)for2.15<W<3.95GeVand for|cosθ∗|<0.6are compared with theresults obtained by ARGUS[8],CLEO[9]andVENUS[10]in Fig.1a and to the results ob-tained by TASSO[5],JADE[6]and TPC/2γ[7]in Fig.1b.The quark-diquark model predic-tions[13]are also shown.Reasonable agree-ment is found between this measurement andthe results obtained by other experiments forW>2.3GeV.At lower W our measurementsagree with the measurements by JADE[6]andARGUS[8],but lie below the results obtainedby CLEO[9],and VENUS[10].The cross-section measurements reported here extend to-wards higher values of W than previous results.Fig.1c shows the measuredγγ→p¯p cross-sectionas a function of W together with some predic-tions based on the quark-diquark model[12,13].There is good agreement between our results andthe older quark-diquark model predictions[12].The most recent calculations[13]lie above thedata,but within the estimated theoretical uncer-tainties the predictions are in agreement with themeasurement.An important consequence of the pure quarkhard scattering picture is the power law which fol-lows from the dimensional counting rules[23,24].The dimensional counting rules state that an ex-clusive cross-section atfixed angle has an en-ergy dependence connected with the number ofhadronic constituents participating in the processunder investigation.We expect that for asymp-totically large W andfixed|cosθ∗|dσ(γγ→p¯p)4where n =8is the number of elementary fields and t =−W 2/2(1−|cos θ∗|).The introduction of diquarks modifies the power law by decreasing n to n =6.This power law is compared to the data in Fig.1c with σ(γγ→p¯p )∼W −2(n −3)us-ing three values of the exponent n :fixed values n =8,n =6,and the fitted value n =7.5±0.8obtained by taking into account statistical uncer-tainties only.More data covering a wider range of W would be required to determine the expo-nent n more precisely.The measured differential cross-sections d σ(γγ→p¯p )/d |cos θ∗|in different W ranges and for |cos θ∗|<0.6are showed in Fig.2.The differential cross-section in the range 2.15<W <2.55GeV lies below the results re-ported by VENUS [10]and CLEO [9](Fig.2a).Since the CLEO measurements are given for the lower W range 2.0<W <2.5GeV,we rescale their results by a factor 0.635which is the ratio of the two CLEO total cross-section measurements integrated over the W ranges 2.0<W <2.5GeV and 2.15<W <2.55GeV.This leads to a better agreement between the two measurements but the OPAL results are still consistently lower.The shapes of the |cos θ∗|dependence of all mea-surements are consistent apart from the highest |cos θ∗|bin,where the OPAL measurement is sig-nificantly lower than the measurements of the other two experiments.In Fig.2b-c the differential cross-sections d σ(γγ→p¯p )/d |cos θ∗|in the W ranges 2.35<W <2.85GeV and 2.55<W <2.95GeV are compared to the measurements by TASSO,VENUS and CLEO in similar W ranges.The measurements are consistent within the uncer-tainties.The comparison of the differential cross-section as a function of |cos θ∗|for 2.55<W <2.95GeV with the calculation of [13]at W =2.8GeV for different distribution ampli-tudes (DA)is shown in Fig.3a.The shapes of the curves of the pure quark model [2,3]and the quark-diquark model predictions [13]are consis-tent with those of the data.In Fig.3b the differential cross-section d σ(γγ→p¯p )/d |cos θ∗|is shown versus |cos θ∗|for 2.15<W <2.55GeV.The cross-section de-creases at large |cos θ∗|;the shape of the angular distribution is different from that at higher W0246810121416| cos(Θ∗) |d σ(γγ → p p _)/d | c o s (Θ∗) |(n b

the point-like approximation for the proton (4)scaled to fit the data.The other curves show the pure quark model [2],the diquark model of [12]with the Dziembowski distribution amplitudes (DZ-DA),and the diquark model of [13]using standard and asymptotic distribution amplitudes.values.This indicates that for low W the pertur-bative calculations of [2,3]are not valid.Another important consequence of the hard scattering picture is the hadron helicity conserva-tion rule.For each exclusive reaction like γγ→p¯p the sum of the two initial helicities equals the sum of the two final ones [25].According to the simplification used in [12],only scalar diquarks are considered,and the (anti)proton carries the helicity of the single (anti)quark.Neglecting quark masses,quark and antiquark and hence proton and antiproton have to be in opposite he-licity states.If the (anti)proton is considered as a point-like particle,simple QED rules deter-mine the angular dependence of the unpolarized γγ→p¯p differential cross-section [26]:d σ(γγ→p¯p )(1−cos 2θ∗).(4)This expression is compared to the data in two W ranges,2.55<W <2.95GeV (Fig.3a)and 2.15<W <2.55GeV (Fig.3b).The normali-sation in each case is determined by the best fit to the data.In the higher W range,the pre-diction (4)is in agreement with the data within the experimental uncertainties.In the lower W range this simple model does not describe the data.At low W soft processes such as meson exchange are expected to introduce other partial waves,so that the approximations leading to (4)become invalid [27].5.CONCLUSIONSThe cross-section for the process e +e −→e +e −p¯p has been measured in the p¯p centre-of-mass energy range of 2.15<W <3.95GeV using data taken with the OPAL detector at √6measurements lie below the results obtained by CLEO[9],and VENUS[10],but agree with the JADE[6]and ARGUS[8]measurements.The cross-section as a function of W is in agree-ment with the quark-diquark model predictions of[12,13].The power lawfit yields an exponent n= 7.5±0.8where the uncertainty is statistical only. Within this uncertainty,the measurement is not able to distinguish between predictions for the proton to interact as a state of three quasi-free quarks or as a quark-diquark system.These predictions are based on dimensional counting rules[23,24].The shape of the differential cross-section dσ(γγ→p¯p)/d|cosθ∗|agrees with the results of previous experiments in comparable W ranges, apart from the highest|cosθ∗|bin measured in the range2.15<W<2.55GeV.In this low W region contributions from soft processes such as meson exchange are expected to complicate the picture by introducing extra partial waves, and the shape of the measured differential cross-section dσ(γγ→p¯p)/d|cosθ∗|does not agree with the simple model that leads to the helicity conservation rule.In the high W region,2.55< W<2.95GeV,the experimental and theoretical differential cross-sections dσ(γγ→p¯p)/d|cosθ∗| agree,indicating that the data are consistent with the helicity conservation rule.REFERENCES1.G.P.Lepage and S.J.Brodsky,Phys.Rev.D22(1980)2157.2.G.R.Farrar, E.Maina and F.Neri,Nucl.Phys.B259(1985)702.3. lers and J.F.Gunion,Phys.Rev.D34(1986)2657.4.V.L.Chernyak and I.R.Zhitnitsky,Nucl.Phys.B246(1984)52.5.TASSO Collaboration,M.Althoffet al.,Phys.Lett.B130(1983)449.6.JADE Collaboration,W.Bartel et al.,Phys.Lett.B174(1986)350.7.TPC/Two Gamma Collaboration,H.Aiharaet al.,Phys.Rev.D36(1987)3506.8.ARGUS Collaboration,H.Albrecht et al.,Z.Phys.C42(1989)543.9.CLEO Collaboration,M.Artuso et al.,Phys.Rev.D50(1994)5484.10.VENUS Collaboration,H.Hamasaki et al.,Phys.Lett.B407(1997)185.11.OPAL Collaboration,G.Abbiendi et al.,Eur.Phys.J.C28(2003)45.12.M.Anselmino,P.Kroll and B.Pire,Z.Phys.C36(1987)89.13.C.F.Berger,B.Lechner and W.Schweiger,Fizika B8(1999)371.14.M.Anselmino, F.Caruso,P.Kroll andW.Schweiger,Int.J.Mod.Phys.A4(1989) 5213.15.P.Kroll,M.Sch¨u rmann and W.Schweiger,Int.J.Mod.Phys.A6(1991)4107.16.P.Kroll,Th.Pilsner,M.Sch¨u rmann andW.Schweiger,Phys.Lett.B316(1993)546.17.P.Kroll,M.Sch¨u rmann and P.A.M.Guichon,Nucl.Phys.A598(1996)435.18.OPAL Collaboration,K.Ahmet et al.,Nucl.Instr.Meth.A305(1991)275;19.R.Akers et al.,Z.Phys.C65(1995)47.20.F.E.Low,Phys.Rev.120(1960)582.21.G.A.Schuler,m.108(1998)279.fferty,T.R.Wyatt,Nucl.Instr.Meth.A355(1995)541.23.S.J.Brodsky and G.R.Farrar,Phys.Rev.Lett.31(1973)1153.24.V.A.Matveev,R.M.Muradian and A.N.Tavkhelidze,Nuovo Cim.Lett.7(1973)719.25.S.J.Brodsky and G.P.Lepage,Phys.Rev.D24(1981)2848.26.V.M.Budnev,I.F.Ginzburg,G.V.Meledinand V.G.Serbo,Phys.Rep.15(1974)181.27.S.J.Brodsky,F.C.Ern´e,P.H.Damgaard andP.M.Zerwas,Contribution to ECFA Work-shop LEP200,Aachen,Germany,Sep29-Oct 1,1986.。

Binder cumulants of an urn model and Ising model above critical dimension

Binder cumulants of an urn model and Ising model above critical dimension

However,the calculation of the dynamical exponent z gives z=0.50(1)[8]while the mean-field value is2.We do not have convincing arguments which would explain such a small value of z.Presumably,this fact might be related with a structureless nature of our model.Defining p(M,t)as the probability that in a given urn(say A)at the time t there are M particles,the evolution of the model is described by the following master equationp(M,t+1)=N−M+1Np(M+1,t)ω(M+1)+ p(M,t){MN[1−ω(N−M)]}for M=1,2...N−1p(0,t+1)=1Np(N−1,t)ω(1)+p(N,t)[1−ω(N)],(6) whereω(M)=exp[−1<ǫ2>2,x6=<ǫ6> N−18,12and2x 4=14)]4≈2.188440...,x 6=34)]4≈6.565319....(9)The fact that one can restrict the expansion of the free energy to the lowest order term is by no means obvious [3].Such a restriction leads to the correct results but only above critical dimension where the model behaves according to the mean-field scenario with fluctuations playing negligible role.For d <d c additional terms in the expansion are also important and cumulants take different value.Numerical confirmation of the above results requires extensive Monte Carlo simulations,and a satisfactory confirmation was obtained only for x 4[6,10].Omitting detailed field theory analysis,we can extend the BJ approach to the tricritical point.At such a point also the quartic term vanishes which makes the sixth-order term the leading one and the probability distribution gets theform p (x )∼e −x 6.Simple calculations for such a distribution yieldx 4=Γ(56)2)2=2,x 6=Γ(16Γ(13(tricritical point).Arrows indicate the BJ results for the critical and the tricritical point.3456700.0020.0040.0060.0080.01x 6(N )1/NFIG.2.The same as in Fig.1but for the sixth-order cumulant x 6(N ).The BJ results (9)-(10)are indicated by small arrows in Figs.1-2.Even without any extrapolation one can see,especially for critical points,a good agreement with our results.Data in Figs.1-2shows strong finite-size corrections.To have a better estimations of asymptotic values in the limit N →∞we assume finite size corrections of the formx 4,6(N )=x 4,6(∞)+AN −ω.(11)The least-square fitting of our finite-N data to eq.(11)gives x 4,6(∞)which agree with BJ values (9)-(10)within the accuracy better than 0.1%.A better estimation of the correction exponent ωis obtained assuming that x 4,6(∞)are given by the BJ values.The exponent ωequals then the slope of the date in the logarithmic scale as presented in Figs.3-4.Our data shows that for the critical(tricritical)point ω=13).Let us notice that leading finite-size corrections to the Binder cumulant in the d =5Ising model at the critical point are also of the form N −0.5(with N being the linear system size)[7].Moreover,for the tricritical point but d <d c the probability distribution is known to exhibit a three-peak structure [11],which is different than the single-peak formp (x )∼e −x 6.-2-1.5-1-0.500.512 2.533.544.55l o g 10[x 4,6(B J )-x 4,6(N )]log 10(N)FIG.3.Logarithmic plot of x 4(BJ )−x 4(N )(+)and x 6(BJ )−x 6(N )(×)as a function for N for ∆=0.5.Dotted straight lines have slope 0.5.-1.4-1.2-1-0.8-0.6-0.4-0.200.20.422.533.544.55l o g 10[x 4,6(B J )-x 4,6(N )]log 10(N)FIG.4.Logarithmic plot of x 4(BJ )−x 4(N )(+)and x 6(BJ )−x 6(N )(×)as a function fo N for ∆=23.In summary,we calculated fourth-and sixth-order cumulants at the critical and tricritical points in an urn modelwhich undergoes a symmetry breaking transition.Our results confirm that,as predicted by Br´e zin and Zinn-Justin,the critical probability distributions of the rescaled order parameter has the form p (x )∼e −x 4.Similarly,for thetricritical point our results suggest that p (x )∼e −x 6.Although in our opinion convincing,the results are obtained using numerical methods.It would be desirable to have analytical arguments for the generation of such probability distributions.It seems that for the presented urn model this might be easier than for the Ising-type models.Let us notice that for the simplest urn model,which was introduced by Ehrenfest [12],the steady-state probability distribution can be calculated exactly in the continuumlimit of the master equation and the result has the form p (x )∼e −x 2,where x is now proportional to the differenceof occupancy ǫ.In the Ehrenfest model there is no critical point and we expect that a distribution of the type e −x2might characterize our model but offthe critical line(in the symmetric phase).We hope that when suitably extended, an analytic approach to our model might extract critical and tricritical distributions as well.Such an approach is left as a future problem.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThis work was partially supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the project OFES00-0578”COSYC OF SENS”.。

From Little Bangs to the Big Bang

From Little Bangs to the Big Bang

a r X i v :a s t r o -p h /0504501v 1 22 A p r 2005From Little Bangs to the Big BangJohn EllisTheory Division,Physics Department,CERN,CH-1211Geneva 23,Switzerland E-mail:john.ellis@cern.ch CERN-PH-TH/2005-070astro-ph/0504501Abstract.The ‘Little Bangs’made in particle collider experiments reproduce the conditions in the Big Bang when the age of the Universe was a fraction of a second.It is thought that matter was generated,the structures in the Universe were formed and cold dark matter froze out during this very early epoch when the equation of state of the Universe was dominated by the quark-gluon plasma (QGP).Future Little Bangs may reveal the mechanism of matter generation and the nature of cold dark matter.Knowledge of the QGP will be an essential ingredient in quantitative understanding of the very early Universe..1.The Universe is Expanding The expansion of the Universe was first established by Hubble’s discovery that distant galaxies are receding from us,with redshifts proportional to their relative distances from us.Extrapolating the present expansion backwards,there is good evidence that the Universe was once 3000times smaller and hotter than today,provided by the cosmic microwave background (CMB)radiation.This has a thermal distribution and is very isotropic,and is thought to have been released when electrons combined with ions from the primordial electromagnetic plasma to form atoms.The observed small dipole anisotropy is due to the Earth’s motion relative to this cosmic microwave background,and the very small anisotropies found by the COBE satellite are thought to have led to the formation of structures in the Universe,as discussed later [1].Extrapolating further back in time,there is good evidence that the Universe was once a billion times smaller and hotter than today,provided by the abundances of light elements cooked in the Big Bang [2].The Universe contains about 24%by mass of 4He,and somewhat less Deuterium,3He and 7Li.These could only have been cooked by nuclear reactions in the very early Universe,when it was a billion times smaller and hotter than today.The detailed light-element abundances depend on the amount of matter in the Universe,and comparison between observations and calculations suggests that there is not enough matter to stop the present expansion,or even to explain the amount of matter in the galaxies and their clusters.The calculations of the light-element abundances also depend on the number of particle types,and in particular on the number of different neutrino types.This is now known from particle collider experiments to be three [3],with a corresponding number of charged leptons and quark pairs.2.The Very Early Universe and the Quark-Gluon PlasmaWhen the Universe was very young:t →0,also the scale factor a characterizing its size would have been very small:a →0,and the temperature T would have been very large,withcharacteristic relativistic particle energies E ∼T .In normal adiabatic expansion,T ∼1/a ,and,while the energy density of the Universe was dominated by relativistic matter,t ∼1/T 2.The following are some rough orders of magnitude:when the Universe had an age t ∼1second,the temperature was T ∼10,000,000,000degrees,and characteristic thermal energies were E ∼1MeV,comparable with the mass of theelectron.It is clear that one needs particle physics to describe the earlier history of the Universe [1].The very early Universe was presumably filled with primordial quark-gluon plasma (QGP).When the Universe was a few microseconds old,it is thought to have exited from this QGP phase,with the available quarks and gluons combining to make mesons and baryons.The primordial QGP would have had a very low baryon chemical potential µ.Experiments with RHIC reproduce cosmological conditions more closely than did previous SPS experiments,as seen in Fig.1,and the LHC will provide [4]an even closer approximation to the primordial QGP.I shall not discuss here the prospects for discovering quark matter inside dense astrophysical objects such as neutron stars,which would have a much larger baryon chemical potential.TµTc ~ 170 MeV µ ∼ o 922 MeV Figure 1.The phase diagram of hot and dense QCD for different values of the baryon chemical potential µand temperature T [5],illustrating the physics reaches of SPS,RHIC and the ALICE experiment at the LHC [4].To what extent can information about the early Universe cast light on the quark-hadron phase transition?The latest lattice simulations of QCD with two light flavours u,d and one moderately heavy flavour s suggest that there was no strong first-order transition.Instead,there was probably a cross-over between the quark and hadron phases,see,for example,Fig.2[5],during which the smooth expansion of the Universe is unlikely to have been modified substantially.Specifically,it is not thought that this transition would have induced inhomogeneities large enough to have detectable consequences today.3.Open Cosmological QuestionsThe Standard Model of cosmology leaves many important questions unanswered.Why is the Universe so big and old?Measurements by the WMAP satellite,in particular,indicate that its age is about 14,000,000,000years [6].Why is its geometry nearly Euclidean?Recent data indicate that it is almost flat,close to the borderline for eternal expansion.Where did the matter come from?The cosmological nucleosynthesis scenario indicates that there is approximately one proton in the Universe today for every 1,000,000,000photons,and no detectable amount0.81

potential µ[5].The rise is quite smooth,indication that there is not a strong first-order phase transition,and probably no dramatic consequences in the early Universe.of antimatter.How did cosmological structures form?If they did indeed form from the ripples observed in the CMB,how did these originate?What is the nature of the invisible dark matter thought to fill the Universe?Its presence is thought to have been essential for the amplification of the primordial perturbations in the CMB.It is clear that one needs particle physics to answer these questions,and that their solutions would have operated in a Universe filled with QGP.4.A Strange Recipe for a UniverseAccording to the ‘Concordance Model’suggested by a multitude of astrophysical and cosmological observations,the total density of the Universe is very close to the critical value:ΩT ot =1.02±0.02,as illustrated in Fig.3[6].The theory of cosmological inflation suggests that the density should be indistinguishable from the critical value,and this is supported by measurements of the CMB.On the other hand,the baryon density is small,as inferred not only from Big-Bang nucleosynthesis but also and independently from the CMB:ΩBaryons ∼few%.The CMB information on these two quantities comes from observations of peaks in the fluctuation spectrum in specific partial waves corresponding to certain angular scales:the position of the first peak is sensitive to ΩT ot ,and the relative heights of subsequent peaks are sensitive to ΩBaryons .The fraction Ωm of the critical density provided by all forms of matter is not very well constrained by the CMB data alone,but is quite tightly constrained by combining them with observations of high-redshift supernovae [7]and/or large-scale structures [8],each of which favours ΩMatter ∼0.3,as also seen in Fig.3.As seen in Fig.4,there is good agreement between BBN calculations and astrophysical observations for the Deuterium and 4He abundances [2].The agreement for 7Li is less striking,though not disastrously bad 1.The good agreement between the corresponding 1It seems unlikely that the low abundance of 7Li observed could have been modified significantly by the decaysFigure3.The density of matterΩm and dark energyΩΛinferred from WMAP and other CMB data(WMAPext),and from combining them with supernova and Hubble Space Telescope data[6].determinations ofΩBaryons obtained from CMB and Big-Bang nucleosynthesis calculations in conventional homogeneous cosmology imposes important constraints on inhomogeneous models of nucleosynthesis.In particular,they exclude the possibility thatΩBaryons might constitute a large fraction ofΩT ot.Significant inhomogeneities might have been generated at the quark-hadron phase transition,if it was stronglyfirst-order[10].Although,as already discussed,lattice calculations suggest that this is rather unlikely,heavy-ion collision experiments must be thefinal arbiter on the nature of the quark-hadron phase transition.5.Generating the Matter in the UniverseAs was pointed out by Sakharov[11],there are three essential requirements for generating the matter in the Universe via microphysics.First,one needs a difference between matter and antimatter interactions,as has been observed in the laboratory in the forms of violations of C and CP in the weak interactions.Secondly,one needs interactions that violate the baryon and lepton numbers,which are present as non-perturbative electroweak interactions and in grand unified theories,but have not yet been seen.Finally,one needs a breakdown of thermal equilibrium, which is possible during a cosmological phase transition,for example at the GUT or electroweak scale,or in the decays of heavy particles,such as a heavy singlet neutrinoνR[12].The issueof heavy particles[9]:it would be valuable to refine the astrophysical determinations.Figure4.Primordial light element abundances as predicted by BBN(light)and WMAP(dark shaded regions)[2],for(a)D/H,(b)the4He abundance Y p and(c)7Li/H[2].then is whether we will be able to calculate the resulting matter density in terms of laboratory measurements.Unfortunately,the Standard Model C and CP violation measured in the quark sector seem unsuitable for baryogenesis,and the electroweak phase transition in the Standard Model would have been second order.However,additional CP violation and afirst-order phase transition in an extended electroweak Higgs sector might have been able to generate the matter density[13],and could be testable at the LHC and/or ILC.An alternative is CP violation in the lepton sector,which could be probed in neutrino oscillation experiments,albeit indirectly, or possibly in the charged-lepton sector,which might be related more directly to the matter density[14].In any case,detailed knowledge of the QGP equation of state would be necessary if one were ever to hope to be able to calculate the baryon-to-entropy ratio with an accuracy of a few percent.6.The Formation of Structures in the UniverseThe structures seen in the Universe-clusters,galaxies,stars and eventually ourselves-are all thought to have developed from primordialfluctuations in the CMB.This idea is supported visually by observations of galaxies,which look smooth at the largest scales at high redshifts, but cluster at smaller scales at low redshifts[15].This scenario requires amplification of the smallfluctuations observed in the CMB,which is possible with massive non-relativistic weakly-interacting particles.On the other hand,relativistic light neutrinos would have escaped from smaller structures,and so are disfavoured as amplifiers.Non-relativistic‘cold dark matter’is preferred,as seen in a comparison of the available data on structures in the Universe with the cosmological Concordance Model[8].The hot news in the observational tests of this scenario has been the recent detection of baryonic ripples from the Big Bang[16],as seen in Fig.5.These are caused by sound waves spreading out from irregularities in the CMB,which show up in the correlation function between structures in the(near-)contemporary Universe as features with a characteristic size.In addition to supporting the scenario of structure formation by amplification of CMBfluctuations, these observations provide measurements of the expansion history and equation of state of the Universe.Figure5.The baryonic‘ripple’in the large-scale correlation function of luminous red galaxies observed in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey of galactic redshifts[16].7.Do Neutrinos Matter?Oscillation experiments tell us that neutrinos have very small but non-zero masses[17,18], and so must make up at least some of the dark matter.As already mentioned,since such light neutrinos move relativistically during the epoch of structure formation,they would have escaped from galaxies and not contributed to their formation,whereas they could have contributed to the formation of clusters.Conversely,the success of the cosmological Concordance Model enables one to set a cosmological upper limit on the sum of light neutrino masses,as seen in Fig.6:Σνmν<0.7eV[6],which is considerably more sensitive than direct laboratory searches.In the future,this cosmological sensitivity might attain the range indicated by atmospheric neutrino data[17].However,even if no dark matter effect of non-zero light neutrino masses is observed,this does not mean that neutrinos have no cosmological role,since unstable heavier neutrinos might have generated matter via the Sakharov mechanism[11].8.Particle Dark Matter CandidatesCandidates for the non-relativistic cold dark matter required to amplify CMBfluctuations include the axion[19],TeV-scale weakly-interacting massive particles(WIMPs)produced thermally in the early Universe,such as the lightest supersymmetric partner of a Standard Model particle(probably the lightest neutralinoχ),the gravitino(which is likely mainly to have been produced in the very early Universe,possibly thermally),and superheavy relic particles that might have been produced non-thermally in the very early Universe[20](such as the‘cryptons’predicted in some string models[21]).9.Supersymmetric Dark MatterSupersymmetry is a very powerful symmetry relating fermionic‘matter’particles to bosonic ‘force’particles[22].Historically,the original motivations for supersymmetry were purely theoretical:its intrinsic beauty,its ability to tame infinities in perturbation theory,etc.The first phenomenological motivation for supersymmetry at some accessible energy was that itFigure6.The likelihood function for the total neutrino densityΩνh2derived by WMAP[6]. The upper limit mν<0.23eV applies if there are three degenerate neutrinos.might also help explain the electroweak mass scale,by stabilizing the hierarchy of mass scales in physics[23].It was later realized also that the lightest supersymmetric particle(LSP)would be stable in many models[24].Moreover,it should weigh below about1000GeV,in order to stabilize the mass hierarchy,in which case its relic density would be similar to that required for cold dark matter[25].As described below,considerable effort is now put into direct laboratory searches for supersymmetry,as well as both direct and indirect astrophysical searches.Here I concentrate on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model(MSSM), in which the Standard Model particles acquire superpartners and there are two doublets of Higgs fields.The interactions in the MSSM are completely determined by supersymmetry,but one must postulate a number of soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters,in order to accommodate the mass differences between conventional particles and their superpartners.These parameters include scalar masses m0,gaugino masses m1/2,and trilinear soft couplings A0.It is often assumed that these parameters are universal,so that there is a single m0,a single m1/2,and a single A0parameter at the input GUT scale,a scenario called the constrained MSSM(CMSSM). However,there is no deep theoretical justification for this universality assumption,except in minimal supergravity models.These models also make a prediction for the gravitino mass: m3/2=m0,which is not necessarily the case in the general CMSSM.As already mentioned,the lightest supersymmetric particle is stable in many models,this because of the multiplicative conservation of R parity,which is a combination of spin S,lepton number L and baryon number B:R=(−1)2S−L+3B.It is easy to check that conventional particles have R=+1and sparticles have R=−1.As a result,sparticles are always produced in pairs,heavier sparticles decay into lighter ones,and the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP)is stable.The LSP cannot have strong or electromagnetic interactions,because these would bind it toconventional matter,creating bound states that would be detectable as anomalous heavy nuclei.Among the possible weakly-interacting scandidates for the LSP,one finds the sneutrino ,which has been excluded by a combination of LEP and direct searches for astrophysical dark matter,the lightest neutralino χ,and the gravitino .There are good prospects for detecting the neutralino or gravitino in collider experiments,and neutralino dark matter may also be detectable either directly or indirectly,but gravitino dark matter would be a nightmare for detection.10.Constraints on SupersymmetryImportant constraints on supersymmetry are imposed by the absences of sparticles at LEP and the Tevatron collider,implying that sleptons and charginos should weigh >100GeV [26],and that squarks and gluinos should weigh >250GeV,respectively.Important indirect constraints are imposed by the LEP lower limit on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson,114GeV [27],and the experimental measurement of b →sγdecay [28],which agrees with the Standard Model.The measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon,g µ−2,also has the potential to constrain supersymmetry,but the significance of this constraint is uncertain,in the absence of agreement between the e +e −annihilation and τdecay data used to estimate the Standard Model contribution to g µ−2[29].Finally,one of the strongest constraints on the supersymmetric parameter space is that imposed by the density of dark matter inferred from astrophysical and cosmological observations.If this is composed of the lightest neutralino χ,one has 0.094<Ωχh 2<0.129[6],and it cannot in any case be higher than this.For generic domains of the supersymmetric parameter space,this range constrains m 0with an accuracy of a few per cent as a function of m 1/2,as seen in Fig.7[30].m 0 (G e V )m 1/2 (GeV)m 0 (G e V )m 1/2 (GeV)Figure 7.The (m 1/2,m 0)planes for (a)tan β=10and tan β=50with µ>0and A 0=0,assumingm t =175GeV and m b (m b )Figure8.The factor h eff(T)calculated using different equations of state[31].11.The Relic Density and the Quark-Gluon PlasmaThe accurate calculation of the relic density depends not only on the supersymmetric model parameters,but also on the effective Hubble expansion rate as the relic particles annihilate and freeze out of thermal equilibrium[25]:˙n+3Hn=−<σann v>(n2−n2eq).This is,in turn,sensitive to the effective number of particle species:Y0≃ 4521g eff 13d ln h effm N L V S P (G e V )m LVSP (GeV)Figure 9.Scatter plot of the masses of the lightest visible supersymmetric particle

dark (red)squares and medium-shaded (green)crosses respect the laboratory constraints,but not those imposed by astrophysics and cosmology.In addition,the (green)crosses represent models which are expected to be visible at the LHC.The very light (yellow)points are those for which direct detection of supersymmetric dark matter might be possible [33].13.Strategies for Detecting Supersymmetric Dark MatterThese include searches for the annihilations of relic particles in the galactic halo:χχ→antiprotons or positrons,annihilations in the galactic centre:χχ→γ+...,annihilations in the core of the Sun or the Earth:χχ→ν+···→µ+···,and scattering on nuclei in the laboratory:χA →chiA .After some initial excitement,recent observations of cosmic-ray antiprotons are consistent with production by primary matter cosmic rays.Moreover,the spectra of annihilation positrons calculated in a number of CMSSM benchmark models [32]seem to fall considerably below the cosmic-ray background [37].Some of the spectra of photons from annihilations in Galactic Centre,as calculated in the same set of CMSSM benchmark scenarios,may rise above the expected cosmic-ray background,albeit with considerable uncertainties due to the unknown enhancement of the cold dark matter density.In particular,the GLAST experiment may have the best chance of detecting energetic annihilation photons [37],as seen in the left panel of Fig.10.Annihilations in the Solar System also offer detection prospects in some of the benchmark scenarios,particularly annihilations inside the Sun,which might be detectable in experiments such as AMANDA,NESTOR,ANTARES and particularly IceCUBE,as seen in the right panel of Fig.10[37].The rates for elastic dark matter scattering cross sections calculated in the CMSSM are typically considerably below the present upper limit imposed by the CDMS II experiment,in both the benchmark scenarios and the global fit to CMSSM parameters based on present data [38].However,if the next generation of direct searches for elastic scattering can reach a sensitivity of 10−10pb,they should be able to detect supersymmetric dark matter in many supersymmetric scenarios.Fig.11compares the cross sections calculated under a relatively optimistic assumption for the relevant hadronic matrix element σπN =64MeV,for choices of CMSSM parameters favoured at the 68%(90%)confidence level in a recent analysis using theFigure 10.Left panel:Spectra of photons from the annihilations of dark matter particles in the core of our galaxy,in different benchmark supersymmetric models [37].Right

is quite accurately determined.Most of the present energy density of the Universe is in the form of dark vacuum energy,with about 25%in the form of dark matter,and only a few %in the form of conventional baryonic matter.Two of the most basic questions raised by this Concordance Model are the nature of the dark matter and the origin of matter.Only experiments at particle colliders are likely to be able to answer these and other fundamental questions about the early Universe.In particular,experiments at the LHC will recreate quark-gluon plasma conditions similar to those when the Universe was less than a microsecond old[4],and will offer the best prospects for discovering whether the dark matter is composed of supersymmetric particles[40,41].LHC experiments will also cast new light on the cosmological matter-antimattter asymmetry[42].Moreover,discovery of the Higgs boson will take us closer to the possibilities for inflation and dark energy.There are many connections between the Big Bang and the little bangs we create with particle colliders.These connections enable us both to learn particle physics from the Universe,and to use particle physics to understand the Universe.References[1]J.R.Ellis,Lectures given at16th Canberra International Physics Summer School on The New Cosmology,Canberra,Australia,3-14Feb2003,arXiv:astro-ph/0305038;K.A.Olive,TASI lectures on

Signature of a Pairing Transition in the Heat Capacity of Finite Nuclei

Signature of a Pairing Transition in the Heat Capacity of Finite Nuclei

a rXiv:n ucl-t h /96v15Sep2Signature of a Pairing Transition in the Heat Capacity of Finite Nuclei S.Liu and Y.Alhassid Center for Theoretical Physics,Sloane Physics Laboratory,Yale University,New Haven,Connecticut 06520,U.S.A.(February 8,2008)Abstract The heat capacity of iron isotopes is calculated within the interacting shell model using the complete (pf +0g 9/2)-shell.We identify a signature of the pairing transition in the heat capacity that is correlated with the suppression of the number of spin-zero neutron pairs as the temperature increases.Our results are obtained by a novel method that significantly reduces the statis-tical errors in the heat capacity calculated by the shell model Monte Carlo approach.The Monte Carlo results are compared with finite-temperature Fermi gas and BCS calculations.Typeset using REVT E XPairing effects infinite nuclei are well known;examples include the energy gap in the spectra of even-even nuclei and an odd-even effect observed in nuclear masses.However,less is known about the thermal signatures of the pairing interaction in nuclei.In a macroscopic conductor,pairing leads to a phase transition from a normal metal to a superconductor below a certain critical temperature,and in the BCS theory[1]the heat capacity is characterized by afinite discontinuity at the transition temperature.As the linear dimension of the system decreases below the pair coherence length,fluctuations in the order parameter become important and lead to a smooth transition.The effects of both staticfluctuations[2,3] and small quantalfluctuations[4]have been explored in studies of small metallic grains.A pronounced peak in the heat capacity is observed for a large number of electrons,but for less than∼100electrons the peak in the heat capacity all but disappears.In the nucleus,the pair coherence length is always much larger than the nuclear radius,and large fluctuations are expected to suppress any singularity in the heat capacity.An interesting question is whether any signature of the pairing transition still exists in the heat capacity of the nucleus despite the largefluctuations.When only static and small-amplitude quantal fluctuations are taken into account,a shallow‘kink’could still be seen in the heat capacity of an even-even nucleus[5].This calculation,however,was limited to a schematic pairing model.Canonical heat capacities were recently extracted from level density measurements in rare-earth nuclei[6]and were found to have an S-shape that is interpreted to represent the suppression of pairing correlations with increasing temperature.The calculation of the heat capacity of thefinite interacting nuclear system beyond the mean-field and static-path approximations is a difficult problem.Correlation effects due to residual interactions can be accounted for in the framework of the interacting nuclear shell model.However,atfinite temperature a large number of excited states contribute to the heat capacity and very large model spaces are necessary to obtain reliable results.The shell model Monte Carlo(SMMC)method[7,8]enables zero-andfinite-temperature calculations in large spaces.In particular,the thermal energy E(T)can be computed versus temperature T and the heat capacity can be obtained by taking a numerical derivative C=dE/dT.However,thefinite statistical errors in E(T)lead to large statistical errors in the heat capacity at low temperatures(even for good-sign interactions).Such large errors occur already around the pairing transition temperature and thus no definite signatures of the pairing transition could be identified.Furthermore,the large errors often lead to spurious structure in the calculated heat capacity.Presumably,a more accurate heat capacity can be obtained by a direct calculation of the variance of the Hamiltonian,but in SMMC such a calculation is impractical since it involves a four-body operator.The variance of the Hamiltonian has been calculated using a different Monte Carlo algorithm[9],but that method is presently limited to a schematic pairing interaction.Here we report a novel method for calculating the heat capacity within SMMC that takes into account correlated errors and leads to much smaller statistical ing this method we are able to identify a signature of the pairing transition in realistic calculations of the heat capacity offinite nuclei.The signature is well correlated with the suppression in the number of spin-zero pairs across the transition temperature.The Monte Carlo approach is based on the Hubbard-Stratonovich(HS)representation of the many-body imaginary-time propagator,e−βH= D[σ]GσUσ,whereβis the in-verse temperature,Gσis a Gaussian weight and Uσis a one-body propagator that de-scribes non-interacting nucleons moving influctuating time-dependent auxiliaryfieldsσ. The canonical thermal expectation value of an observable O can be written as O = D[σ]GσTr(OUσ)/ D[σ]GσTr Uσ,where Tr denotes a canonical trace for N neutrons and Z protons.We can rewriteO = [Tr(OUσ)/Tr Uσ]ΦσWsamples.In particular the thermal energy can be calculated as a thermal average of the Hamilto-nian H .The heat capacity C =−β2∂E/∂βis then calculated by estimating the derivative as a finite differenceC =−β2E (β+δβ)−E (β−δβ)D [σ±]G σ±(β±δβ)Tr U σ±(β±δβ),(3)where the corresponding σfields are denoted by σ±.To have the same number of time slices N t in the discretized version of (3)as in the original HS representation of E (β),we define modified time slices ∆β±by N t ∆β±=β±δβ.We next change integration variables in (3)from σ±to σaccording to σ±=(∆β/∆β±)1/2σ,so that the Gaussian weight is left unchanged G σ±(β±δβ)≡exp −αn12|v α|(σα(τn ))2∆β =G σ(β)(v αare the interaction ‘eigenvalues’,obtained by writing the interaction in a quadratic form αv αˆρ2α/2,where ˆραare one-body densities).Rewriting (3)using the measure D [σ](the Jacobian resulting from the change in integration variables is constant and canceled between the numerator and denominator),we findE (β±δβ)= Tr HU σ±(β±δβ)Tr U σ(β)Φσ W Tr U σ(β)Φσ W ≡H ±among the quantities H±and Z±,which would lead to a smaller error for C.The covariances among H±and Z±as well as their variances can be calculated in the Monte Carlo and used to estimate the correlated error of the heat capacity.We have calculated the heat capacity for the iron isotopes52−62Fe using the complete (pf+0g9/2)-shell and the good-sign interaction of Ref.[10].Fig.1demonstrates the sig-nificant improvement in the statistical Monte Carlo errors.On the left panel of thisfigure we show the heat capacity of54Fe calculated in the conventional method,while the right panel shows the results from the new method.The statistical errors for T∼0.5−1MeV are reduced by almost an order of magnitude.The results obtained in the conventional calculation seem to indicate a shallow peak in the heat capacity around T∼1.25MeV,but the calculation using the improved method shows no such structure.The heat capacities of four iron isotopes55−58Fe,calculated with the new method,are shown in the top panel of Fig. 2.The heat capacities of the two even-mass iron isotopes (56Fe and58Fe)show a different behavior around T∼0.7−0.8MeV as compared with the two odd-mass isotopes(55Fe and57Fe).While the heat capacity of the odd-mass isotopes increases smoothly as a function of temperature,the heat capacity of the even-mass isotopes is enhanced for T∼0.6−1MeV,increasing sharply and then leveling off,displaying a ‘shoulder.’This‘shoulder’is more pronounced for the isotope with more neutrons(58Fe). To correlate this behavior of the heat capacity with a pairing transition,we calculated the number of J=0nucleon pairs in these nuclei.A J=0pair operator is defined as usual by∆†= a,m a>0(−1)j a−m aj a+1/2a†ja m aa†ja−m a,(5)where j a is the spin and m a is the spin projection of a single-particle orbit a.Pair-creation operators of the form(5)can be defined for protons(∆†pp),neutrons(∆†nn),and proton-neutrons(∆†pn).The average number ∆†∆ of J=0pairs(of each type)can be calculated exactly in SMMC as a function of temperature.The bottom panel of Fig.2shows the number of neutron pairs ∆†nn∆nn for55−58Fe.At low temperature the number of neutron pairs for isotopes with an even number of neutrons is significantly larger than that forisotopes with an odd number of neutrons.Furthermore,for the even-mass isotopes we observe a rapid suppression of the number of neutron pairs that correlates with the‘shoulder’observed in the heat capacity.The different qualitative behavior in the number of neutron pairs versus temperature between odd-and even-mass iron isotopes provides a clue to the difference in their heat capacities.A transition from a pair-correlated ground state to a normal state at higher temperatures requires additional energy for breaking of neutron pairs, hence the steeper increase observed in the heat capacity of the even-mass iron isotopes. Once the pairs are broken,less energy is required to increase the temperature,and the heat capacity shows only a moderate increase.It is instructive to compare the SMMC heat capacity with a Fermi gas and BCS calcula-tions.The heat capacity can be calculated from the entropy using the relation C=T∂S/∂T. The entropy S of uncorrelated fermions is given byS(T)=− a[f a ln f a+(1−f a)ln(1−f a)],(6) with f a being thefinite-temperature occupation numbers of the single-particle orbits a.Above the pairing transition-temperature T c,f a are just the Fermi-Dirac occupancies f a= [1+eβ(ǫa−µ)]−1,whereµis the chemical potential determined from the total number of particles andǫa are the single-particle energies.Below T c,it is necessary to take into account the BCS solution which has lower free energy.Since condensed pairs do not contribute to the entropy,the latter is still given by(6)but f a are now the quasi-particle occupancies[1],1f a=(ǫa−µ)2+∆2are the quasi-particle energies,where the gap∆(T)and the chemical potentialµ(T)are determined from thefinite-temperature BCS equations.In practice,we treat protons and neutrons separately.We applied the Fermi gas and BCS approximations to estimate the heat capacities of the iron isotopes.To take into account effects of a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction,we used an axially deformed Woods-Saxon potential to extract the single-particle spectrumǫa[11].A deformation parameterδfor the even iron isotopes can be extracted from experimental B(E2)values.However,since B(E2)values are not available for all of these isotopes,we used an alternate procedure.The excitation energy E x(2+1)of thefirst excited2+state in even-even nuclei can be extracted in SMMC by calculating J2 βat low temperatures and using a two-state model(the0+ground state and thefirst excited2+state)where J2 β≈6/(1+eβE x(2+1)/5)[12].The excitation energy of the2+1state is then used in the empirical formula of Bohr and Mottelson[13]τγ=(5.94±2.43)×1014E−4x(2+1)Z−2A1/3to estimate the meanγ-ray lifetimeτγand the corresponding B(E2).The deformation pa-rameterδis then estimated from B(E2)=[(3/4π)Zer20A2/3δ]2/5.Wefind(using r0=1.27 fm)δ=0.225,0.215,0.244,0.222,0.230,and0.220for the even iron isotopes52Fe–62Fe, respectively.For the odd-mass iron isotopes we adapt the deformations in Ref.[14].The zero-temperature pairing gap∆is extracted from experimental odd-even mass differences and used to determine the pairing strength G(needed for thefinite temperature BCS solu-tion).The top panels of Fig.3show the Fermi-gas heat capacity(dotted-dashed lines)for 59Fe(right)and60Fe(left)in comparison with the SMMC results(symbols).The SMMC heat capacity in the even-mass60Fe is below the Fermi-gas estimate for T<∼0.5MeV, but is enhanced above the Fermi gas heat capacity in the region0.5<∼T<∼0.9MeV. The line shape of the heat capacity is similar to the S-shape found experimentally in the heat capacity of rare-earth nuclei[6].We remark that the saturation of the SMMC heat capacity above∼1.5MeV(and eventually its decrease with T)is an artifact of thefinite model space.The solid line shown for60Fe is the result of the BCS calculation.There are two‘peaks’in the heat capacity corresponding to separate pairing transitions for neutrons (T n c≈0.9MeV)and protons(T p c≈1.2MeV).Thefinite discontinuities in the BCS heat capacity are shown by the dotted lines.The pairing solution describes well the SMMC results for T<∼0.6MeV.However,the BCS peak in the heat capacity is strongly suppressed around the transition temperature.This is expected in thefinite nuclear system because of the strongfluctuations in the vicinity of the pairing transition(not accounted for in themean-field approach).Despite the largefluctuations,a‘shoulder’still remains around the neutron-pairing transition temperature.The bottom panels of Fig.3show the number of spin-zero pairs versus temperature in SMMC.The number of p-p and n-p pairs are similar in the even and odd-mass iron isotopes. However,the number of n-n pairs at low T differs significantly between the two isotopes. The n-n pair number of60Fe decreases rapidly as a function of T,while that of59Fe decreases slowly.The S-shape or shoulder seen in the SMMC heat capacity of60Fe correlates well with the suppression of neutron pairs.Fig.4shows the complete systematics of the heat capacity for the iron isotopes in the mass range A=52−62for both even-mass(left panel)and odd-mass(right panel). At low temperatures the heat capacity approaches zero,as expected.When T is high,the heat capacity for all isotopes converges to approximately the same value.In the intermediate temperature region(T∼0.7MeV),the heat capacity increases with mass due to the increase of the density of states with mass.Pairing leads to an odd-even staggering effect in the mass dependence(see also in Fig.2)where the heat capacity of an odd-mass nucleus is significantly lower than that of the adjacent even-mass nuclei.For example,the heat capacity of57Fe is below that of both56Fe and58Fe.The heat capacities of the even-mass58Fe,60Fe,and62Fe all display a peak around T∼0.7MeV,which becomes more pronounced with an increasing number of neutrons.In conclusion,we have introduced a new method for calculating the heat capacity in which the statistical errors are strongly reduced.A systematic study in several iron isotopes reveals signatures of the pairing transition in the heat capacity offinite nuclei despite the largefluctuations.This work was supported in part by the Department of Energy grants putational cycles were provided by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (using NPACI resources),and by the NERSC high performance computing facility at LBL.REFERENCES[1]J.Bardeen,L.N.Cooper and J.R.Schrieffer,Phys.Rev.108,1175(1957).[2]B.Muhlschlegel,D.J.Scalapino and R.Denton,Phys.Rev.B6,1767(1972).[3]uritzen,P.Arve and G.F.Bertsch,Phys.Rev.Lett.61,2835(1988).[4]uritzen,A.Anselmino,P.F.Bortignon and R.A.Broglia,Ann.Phys.(N.Y.)223,216(1993).[5]R.Rossignoli,N.Canosa and P.Ring,Phys.Rev.Lett.80,1853(1998).[6]A.Schiller,A.Bjerve,M.Guttormsen,M.Hjorth-Jensen,F.Ingebretsen,E.Melby,S.Messelt,J.Rekstad,S.Siem,S.W.Odegard,arXive:nucl-ex/9909011.[7]ng,C.W.Johnson,S.E.Koonin and W.E.Ormand,Phys.Rev.C48,1518(1993).[8]Y.Alhassid,D.J.Dean,S.E.Koonin,ng,and W.E.Ormand,Phys.Rev.Lett.72,613(1994).[9]S.Rombouts S,K.Heyde and N.Jachowicz,Phys.Rev.C58,3295(1998).[10]H.Nakada,Y.Alhassid,Phys.Rev.Lett.79,2939(1997).[11]Y.Alhassid,G.F.Bertsch,S.Liu and H.Nakada,Phys.Rev.Lett.84,4313(2000).[12]H.Nakada,Y.Alhassid,Phys.Lett.B436,231(1998).[13]S.Raman et al.,Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables42,1(1989).[14]P.M¨o ller et al,Atomic Data Nucl.Data Tables59,185(1995),P.M¨o ller,J.R.Nix,and K.-L.Kratz,Atomic Data Nucl.Data Tables66,131(1997);G.Audi et al,Nucl.Phys.A624,1(1997).FIGURES00.51 1.52T (MeV)051015C 00.51 1.52T (MeV)FIG.1.The SMMC heat capacity of 54Fe.The left panel is the result of conventional SMMCcalculations.The right panel is calculated using the improved method (based on the representation (4)where a correlated error can be accounted for).0.40.81.21.6T (MeV)357911<∆+n n∆n n >051015CFIG.2.Top panel:the SMMC heat capacity vs.temperature T for55Fe(open circles),56Fe(solid diamonds),57Fe(open squares),and58Fe(solid triangles).Bottom panel:the number ofJ =0neutron pairs versus temperature for the same nuclei.0.511.5T (MeV)0246810<∆+∆>05101520C60Fe0.51 1.52T (MeV)59FeFIG.3.Top:Heat capacity versus T for 60Fe(left)and59Fe(right).The Monte Carlo resultsare shown by symbols.The dotted-dashed lines are the Fermi gas calculations,and the solid line (left panel only)is the BCS result.The discontinuities (dashed lines)correspond to a neutron (T c ∼0.9MeV)and proton (T c ∼1.2MeV)pairing transition.Above the pairing-transition temperature,the BCS results coincide with the Fermi gas results.Bottom panels:The number of J =0n -n (circles),p -p (squares),and n -p (diamonds)pairs vs.T for60Fe(left)and59Fe(right).0.40.8 1.2 1.6T (MeV)051015C00.40.8 1.2 1.6T (MeV)53Fe 55Fe 57Fe 59Fe 61FeFIG.4.The heat capacity of even-even (left panel)and odd-even (right panel)iron isotopes.。

I. INTRODUCTION
51 53 54
Much of the current understanding of solid state physics is based on a picture of non– interacting electrons. This is clearly true at the elementary level, but in fact extends to many areas of current research, examples being the physics of disordered systems or mesoscopic physics. The most outstanding examples where the non–interacting electron picture fails are provided by electronic phase transitions like superconductivity or magnetism. However, more generally one clearly has to understand why the non–interacting approximation is successful, for example in understanding the physics of metals where one has a rather dense gas (or liquid) of electrons which certainly interact via their mutual Coulomb repulsion. A first answer is provided by Landau’s theory of Fermi liquids [1–3] which, starting from the (reasonable but theoretically unproven) hypothesis of the existence of quasiparticles shows that the properties of an interacting system of fermions are qualitatively similar to that of a non–interacting system. A brief outline of Landau’s theory in its most elementary aspects will be given in the following section, and a re–interpretation as a fixed point of a renormalization group will be discussed in sec.III. A natural question to ask is whether Fermi liquid like behavior is universal in many– electron systems. The by far best studied example showing that this is not the case is the one–dimensional interacting electron gas. Starting with the early work of Mattis and Lieb [4], of Bychkov et al. [5] and of others is has become quite that in one dimension Landau type quasiparticles do not exist. The unusual one–dimensional behavior has now received the name “Luttinger liquid”. This is still a very active area of research, and the rest of these notes is devoted to the discussion of various aspects of the physics of one–dimensional interacting fermions. The initial plan for these lectures was considerably wider in scope. It was in particular considered to include a discussion of the Kondo effect and its non–Fermi–liquid derivatives, as well as possibly current theories of strongly correlated fermions in dimension larger than one. This plan however turned out to be overly ambitious and it was decided to limit the scope to the current subjects, allowing for sufficiently detailed lectures. Beyond this limitation on the scope of the lectures, length restrictions on the lecture notes imposed further cuts. In view of the fact that there is a considerable and easily accessible literature on Fermi liquid theory, it seemed best to remain at a rather elementary level at this point and to retain sufficient space for the discussion of the more unusual one–dimensional case. It is hoped that the references, especially in the next and the last section will allow the interested reader to find sources for further study.

a rXiv:n ucl-t h /95926v115Sep1995IOA.314/95The role of nuclear form factors in Dark Matter calculations T.S.Kosmas and J.D.Vergados Theoretical Physics Section,University of Ioannina,GR 45110,Ioannina,Greece Abstract The momentum transfer dependence of the total cross section for elastic scattering of cold dark matter candidates,i.e.lightest su-permymmetric particle (LSP),with nuclei is examined.We find that even though the energy transfer is small (≤100KeV )the momentum transfer can be quite big for large mass of the LSP and heavy nuclei.The total cross section can in such instances be reduced by a factorof about five.There is ample evidence that about90%of the matter in the universe is non-luminous and non-baryonic of unknown nature[1-3].Furthermore,in order to accommodate large scale structure of the universe one is forced to assume the existence of two kinds of dark matter[3].One kind is composed of particles which were relativistic at the time of the structure formation. This is called Hot Dark Matter(HDM).The other kind is composed of par-ticles which were non-relativistic at the time of stucture formation.These constitute the Cold Dark Matter(CDM)component of the universe.The COBE data[4]by examining the inisotropy on background radiation suggest that the ratio of CDM to HDM is2:1.Since about10%of the matter of the universe is known to be baryonic,we know that we have60%CDM,30% HDM and10%baryonic matter.The most natural candidates for HDM are the neutrinos provided that they have a mass greater than1eV/c2.The situation is less clear in the case of CDM.The most appealing possibility,linked closely with Supersymmetry (SUSY),is the LSP i.e.the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle.In recent years the phenomenological implications of Supersymmetry are being taken very seriously[5-7].Pretty accurate predictions at low energies are now feasible in terms of few input parameters in the context of SUSY models without any commitment to specific gauge groups.More or less such predictions do not appear to depend on arbitrary choices of the relevant parameters or untested assumptions.In such theories derived from Supergravity the LSP is expected to be a neutral fermion with mass in the10−100GeV/c2region travelling with non-relativistic velocities(β≃10−3)i.e.with energies in the KeV region.In the absence of R-parity violation this particle is absolutely stable.But,even in the presence of R-parity violation,it may live long enough to be a CDM candidate.The detection of the LSP,which is going to be denoted byχ1,is extremely difficult,since this particle interacts with matter extremely weakly.One possibility is the detection of high energy neutrinos which are produced by pair annihilation in the sun where this particle is trapped i.e.via the reactionχ1+χ1→ν+¯ν(1)1The above reaction is possible since the LSP is a majorana particle,i.e.its own antiparticle(`a laπ0).Such high energy neutrinos can be detected via neutrino telescopes.The other possibility,to be examined in the present work,is the detection of the energy of the recoiling nucleus in the reactionχ1+(A,Z)→χ1+(A,Z)(2) This energy can be converted into phonon energy and detected by a tem-perature rise in cryostatic detector with sufficiently high Debye temperature [3,8,9].The detector should be large enough to allow a sufficient number of counts but not too large to permit anticoincidence shielding to reduce back-ground.A compromise of about1Kg is achieved.Another possibility is the use of superconducting granules suspended in a magneticfield.The heat produced will destroy the superconductor and one can detect the resulting magnetixflux.Again a target of about1Kg is favored.There are many targets which can be employed.The most popular ones contain the nuclei32He,199F,2311Na,4020Ca,72,7632Ge,7533As,12753I,13454Xe,and 20782P b.It has recently been shown that process(2)can be described by a four fermion interaction[10-16]of the type[17]L eff=−G F2[Jλ¯χ1γλγ5χ1+J¯χ1χ1](3)whereJλ=¯Nγλ[f0V+f1Vτ3+(f0A+f1Aτ3)γ5]N(4) andJ=¯N(f0S+f1Sτ3)N(5)2where we have neglected the uninteresting pseudoscalar and tensor currents. Note that,due to the majorana nature of the LSP,¯χ1γλχ1=0(identically). The vector and axial vector form factors can arise out of Z-exchange and s-quark exchange[10-15](s-quarks are the SUSY partners of quarks with spin zero).They have uncertainties in them(see ref.[15]for three choices in the allowed parameter space of ref.[5]).The transition from the quark to the nucleon level is pretty straightforward in this case.We will see later that,due to the majorana nature of the LSP,the contribution of the vector current,which can lead to a coherent effect of all nucleons,is suppressed[10-15].Thus,the axial current,especially in the case of light and intermediate mass nuclei,cannot be ignored.The scalar form factors arise out of the Higgs exchange or via S-quark exchange when there is mixing between s-quarks˜q L and˜q R[10-12](the partners of the left-handed and right-handed quarks).They have two types of uncertainties in them[18].One,which is the most important,at the quark level due to the uncertainties in the Higgs sector.The other in going from the quark to the nucleon level[16-17].Such couplings are proportional to the quark masses and hence sensitive to the small admixtures of q¯q(q other than u and d)present in the nucleon.Again values of f0S and f1S in the allowed SUSY parameter space can be found in ref.[15].The invariant amplitude in the case of non relativistic LSP takes the form [15]|m|2=E f E i−m21+p i·p

isospin(τ3|p>=|p>) and cordinate of the j-th nucleon and q is the momentum transferred to the nucleus.The differential cross section in the laboratory frame takes the

ABSTRACT We study Big Crunch/Big Bang cosmologies that correspond to exact worldsheet superconformal field theories of type II strings. The string theory spacetime contains a Big Crunch and a Big Bang cosmology, as well as additional “whisker” asymptotic and intermediate regions. Within the context of free string theory, we compute, unambiguously, the scalar fluctuation spectrum in all regions of spacetime. Generically, the Big Crunch fluctuation spectrum is altered while passing through the bounce singularity. The change in the spectrum is characterized by a function ∆, which is momentum and timedependent. We compute ∆ explicitly and demonstrate that it arises from the whisker regions. The whiskers are also shown to lead to “entanglement” entropy in the Big Bang region. Finally, in the Milne orbifold limit of our superconformal vacua, we show that ∆ → 1 and, hence, the fluctuation spectrum is unaltered by the Big Crunch/Big Bang singularity. We comment on, but do not attempt to resolve, subtleties related to gravitational backreaction and light winding modes when interactions are taken into account.

where α represents the polarizability of the particle. Therefore, an inhomogeneous field acting on an ER fluid causes a particle concentration gradient with high concentrations at high field strengths. Next, if the ER fluid is situated partially in a strong external electric field at constant pressure, the density of the ER fluid in the field will increase accordingly due to the interaction between the induced dipole moment inside the particles and the electric field, which in turn yields an increase in the effective dielectric constant. This effect is called electrostriction. In fact, the phenomenon of electrostriction has been extensively studied, e.g. for dipolar fluids [8], near-critical sulfur hexafluoride in miscrogravity [9], ferroelectric liquidcrystalline elastomers [10], an all-organic composite consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene copolymer matrix and copper-phthalocyanine particles [11]. Regarding the ER system, one [12] studied the electrostriction of solid ER composites in an attempt to apply them in sensing shear stresses and strains in active damping of vibrations due to the high sensitivity of ER composites to shear electrostriction. To the best of our knowledge, there is neither theoretical nor experimental research which treats the electrostriction effect of ER fluids. In this paper, based on thermodynamics we shall present a first-principles approach to derive the electrostriction-induced effective nonlinear third-order susceptibility χ of the linear ER fluids. For investigating the electrostriction effect, take the experimental situation as follows: There is a capacitor with volume Vc , in which the electric field and the dielectric displacement are denoted by Ec and Dc , respectively. Both of them should satisfy the usual electrostatic equations, namely ∇ · Dc = 0, ∇ × E c = 0. (2) (3)

Antimatter Regions in the Early Universe and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Antimatter Regions in the Early Universe and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

a r X i v :a s t r o -p h /0006448v 2 20 S e p 2000Antimatter Regions in the Early Universe and Big Bang NucleosynthesisHannu Kurki-Suonio †Helsinki Institute of Physics,P.O.Box 9,FIN-00014University of Helsinki,FinlandElina Sihvola ∗Department of Physics,University of Helsinki,P.O.Box 9,FIN-00014University of Helsinki,Finland(September 20,2000)We have studied big bang nucleosynthesis in the presence of regions of antimatter.Depending on the distance scale of the antimatter region,and thus the epoch of their annihilation,the amount of antimatter in the early universe is constrained by the observed abundances.Small regions,which annihilate after weak freezeout but before nucleosynthesis,lead to a reduction in the 4He yield,because of neutron rge regions,which annihilate after nucleosynthesis,lead to an increased 3He yield.Deuterium production is also affected but not as much.The three most impor-tant production mechanisms of 3He are (1)photodisintegration of 4He by the annihilation radiation,(2)¯p 4He annihilation,and (3)¯n 4He annihilation by “secondary”antineutrons produced in 4n γ≡n B[6]to be placed on the International Space Station will look for antinuclei in cosmic rays,and if none are found, will place a tight upper limit on the antimatter fraction of cosmic ray sources.The AMS precursorflight on the Space Shuttle observed2.86×106helium nuclei but no antihelium[7],giving an upper limitsmall.These included(1)antinucleosynthesis in the an-timatter region,(2)photodisintegration of other isotopes than4He,and(3)the dependence of the electromagnetic cascade spectrum on the initial photon spectrum from annihilation.We have now made the following changes to our computer code to take these effects into account.(1)We have added all antinuclei up to¯A=4and their antinucleosynthesis.Annihilation of these antinuclei pro-duce energetic antimatter fragments which may pene-trate deep into the matter region and annihilate there. Thus annihilation reactions occur also far away from the matter-antimatter boundary.(2)We have added photodisintegration of the lighter nuclei,D,3H,and3He.(3)We treat photodisintegration in more detail,espe-cially at lower temperatures,where use of the standard cascade spectrum is no longer appropriate.Below,all distance scales given in meters will refer to comoving distance at T=1keV.One meter at T= 1keV corresponds to4.24×106m or1.37×10−10pc today.Rehm and Jedamzik[23]give their distance scales at T=100GeV.Our distances are thus larger by a factor 3.0×108.We use¯h=c=k B=1units.The physics of the annihilation of antimatter regions in the early universe is discussed in Sec.II.We describe our numerical implementation in Sec.III and give the results in Sec.IV.We summarize our conclusions in Sec.V.II.ANNIHILATION OF ANTIMATTERDOMAINSA.Mixing of matter and antimatter Consider the evolution of an antimatter region,with radius r A,surrounded by a larger region of matter.We are interested in the period in the early universe when the temperature was between1MeV and1eV(age of the universe between1s and30000years).The uni-verse is radiation dominated during this period.Atfirst matter and antimatter are in the form of nucleons and antinucleons,after nucleosynthesis in the form of ions and anti-ions.Matter and antimatter are mixed by dif-fusion at the boundary and annihilated.Thus there will be a narrow annihilation zone separating the matter and antimatter regions.Before nucleosynthesis the mixing of matter and anti-matter occurs mainly through neutron/antineutron dif-fusion,since neutrons diffuse much faster than protons. If the radius of the antimatter region is less than r≈107 m,all antimatter annihilates before nucleosynthesis.In nucleosynthesis the remaining free neutrons go into4He nuclei.The mixing of matter and antimatter practically stops until the density has decreased enough for ion dif-fusion to become effective at T≈3keV.Thus there are two stages of annihilation,thefirst one before nucleosynthesis,at T>∼70keV,the second well after nucleosynthesis,at T<∼3keV.The physics during the two regimes is quite different.Thefirst regime was discussed in[23].We concentrate on the second regime in the following discussion.Hydrodynamic expansion becomes important at T≈30keV.At that time the annihilation of thermal electron-positron pairs becomes practically complete and the pho-ton mean free path increases rapidly.When the mean free path becomes larger than the distance scale of the baryon inhomogeneity,the baryons stop feeling the pressure of the photons,which had balanced the pressure of baryons and electrons.The pressure gradient then drives thefluid into motion towards the annihilation zone[25,26].This flow is resisted by Thomson drag.Thefluid reaches a terminal velocity[26]v=3dr.(2)Hereεγis the energy density of photons,σT=0.665×10−28m2is the Thomson cross section,P is the pressure of baryons and electrons,and n∗e=n e−−n e+is the net electron density.With P≈(n B+n e)T and|n∗e|≈n B, we get a diffusive equation∂n B2σTεγ∇n B(3)for the baryon density,with an effective baryon diffusion constant due to hydrodynamic expansionD

constant baryon density,η=6×10−10.The distance d is given in comoving units at T =1keV.The solid line is for a case where all baryons are in form of protons,and the dashed line for a 4He mass fraction of 0.25.The dot-dashed line shows the effect of ignoring scattering on nu-clei.The penetration distance for an ion with charge Z and mass number A is obtained approximately by scaling the 3H curve by a factor A/(3Z 2)vertically and by A/3horizontally.For scattering on electrons (dot-dashed line)this scaling rule is exact.Neutrons lose energy through scattering on ions and electrons.Scattering on electrons is not important for T <30keV.The neutron loses a substantial part of its energy in each collision with an ion.The penetration distance is of order of the mean free path λ=1/(σn ).Assuming η=6×10−10,we find for neutron-proton scat-tering λ≈4.7×109m (T/keV)−2for a neutron with a typical 70MeV energy.At T <0.36keV the mean free time of a 70MeV neutron becomes larger than its life-time.The neutron is then likely to decay into a proton before thermalizing.D.PhotodisintegrationThe high-energy photons andelectronsfrom pion de-cay initiate electromagnetic cascades [42–48].The dom-inant thermalization mechanisms for energetic photons and electrons are photon-photon pair production and in-verse Compton scatteringγ+γbb →e ++e −,e +γbb →e ′+γ′,(13)with the background photons γbb .The cascade proceeds rapidly until the photon energies E γare below the thresh-old for pair production,E γǫγ=m 2e ,(14)ǫγis the energy of the background photon.of the large number of background photons,a number of them have energies ≫T ,and the pair production is the dominant energy mechanism for cascade photons down to [45]E max =m 2e80T.(16)this energy the dominating energy loss processes photons are pair production on nuclei and Compton on electrons.Inverse Compton scattering is the dominant energy loss mechanism for electrons.energy is released in the form of photons and with energies well above E max ,the energy is rapidly converted into a cascade photon spectrum,which depends only on the total energy E 0injected,and is well approximated by [45,47]dn γ7−(E c /E max )3.(18)Photon-photon pair production and scattering,and in-verse Compton scattering,are very rapid processes com-pared to interactions on matter,due to the large num-ber of photons.When the photon energies fall below E cthe mean interaction time rises drastically.The thermal-ization continues through Compton scattering and pair production in thefield of a nucleus,in a time scale long compared with that of the cascade.The pair production cross section is[49]σpair=3α9ln2E27)(19)and the Compton cross section is(E≫m e)σC=3E(1m e).(20)Photons with E>19.9MeV disintegrate4He,pro-ducing3He,and also D for E>26.2MeV.Above theenergy E max the cascade proceeds so rapidly that photo-disintegration of nuclei is rare and can be ignored.Thephotodisintegration of4He begins at T=0.6keV,when E max becomes larger than the binding energy of4He.For T=0.45–0.60keV4He photodisintegration produces 3He(or3H)only,below T=0.45keV also D is produced, although with a smaller cross section.The photodisinte-gration of D begins earlier,at T=5.3keV,because of the smaller deuteron binding energy.The3He photodis-integration begins at T=2.2keV,3H at T=1.9keV, and7Li at T=4.7keV.During the second stage of annihilation,the mean free path of a photon at a given temperature is always larger than the distance scale of antimatter regions which an-nihilate at that temperature.We can therefore assume that the photons are uniformly distributed over space.E.Spectrum of annihilation photons and electronsAs the temperature falls the cascade spectrum moves to higher energies and,for T<∼100eV,it begins to over-lap the initial photon spectrum from annihilation.Then the lower part of this initial spectrum is no more con-verted to a cascade spectrum before photodisintegration, and the shape of the initial photon spectrum becomes important.In the pion’s rest frame its direct decay products,pho-tons,muons,and muon neutrinos,have a single-valued energy,determined by conservation of energy and mo-mentum.The muon decays viaµ−→e−+νµ+¯νe.The spectrum of the electron in the muon’s rest frame is[50] dn em3µ 3−4E2mµ(c.m.)(21) in the approximation m e/mµ≈0.For the decay products of a moving pion,integration over directions yields an energy spectrum.The decay (π±→µ±+νµ)of a charged pion with velocity vπand total energy Eπproduces a muon with a uniform spec-trum in the range1mπ 2±vπ (1− mµ2Eπ(1±vπ).For a muon moving with velocity v and energy Eµ,the electron spectrum becomesdn evEµ 5m4µ(1−v)2+32m6µ(1−v)3for12Eµ(1+v),anddn eEµ 3E2E2µ3E3E3µ2Eµ(1−v).The electrons transfer their energy to background pho-tons through inverse Compton scattering.We calculate the scattering rate R for an electron with energy E e pass-ing through a thermal photon background,in the approx-imation E e≫m e≫T.Let Eγbe the energy transferred from the electron to a photon in one ing the Klein-Nishina cross section we get for a monochromatic photon backgrounddRE eσT4 1w)+(25)ǫw−(ǫw θ(0<ǫdEγ∝ǫ24(1t+1 dt, whereα≡E e TIn Fig.2we plot the spectra of electrons and photons from pion decay,for an exponential pion spectrum.We also show photon spectra resulting from inverse Compton decay,for an exponential pion spectrum with the mean energy 329MeV.The dot-dashed line shows the photon spectrum from the decay of a neutral pion.The dashed line shows the electron spectrum from the decay of a charged pion.The electrons transfer their energy to background photons through inverse Compton scattering.The resulting photon spectra at temperatures 1keV,100eV and 10eV are shown by solid lines .F.Spallation of 4He by energetic neutronsThe average energy of a nucleon produced in ¯p 4He an-nihilation is ≈70MeV.This is sufficient to disintegratea 4He nucleus.Protons and ions slow down rapidly com-pared to the interaction time of nuclear reactions.Neu-trons thermalize much more slowly and may cause sig-nificant spallation of 4He.Destruction of even a small fraction of 4He may pro-duce 3He or D in amounts comparable to the total abun-dance of these elements,but destruction of other ele-ments is significant only if a large fraction of the nuclei is destroyed.Thus only n 4He spallation is important.For T <100eV the neutron mean time before spalla-tion becomes larger than the neutron lifetime and spal-lation gradually ceases.G.LithiumWe do not expect any drastic effects on the 7Li yield from antimatter regions.For small scales and large anti-matter fractions the reduction in the 4He and 3He yields cause an even steeper reduction in the 7Li yield,but the 4He yield is a more sensitive constraint.For large scales,annihilation and photodisintegration of 7Li is a small effect,just as for D and 3He,compared to the large 3He production from 4He annihilation and Since the standard BBN (SBBN)6Li yield is much the 7Li yield,6Li production from 7Li annihilation,and photodisintegration could cause a large increase in the 6Li yield.The 3H and 3He from photodisintegration and annihi-have large energies.They may react with 4He to 6Li and 7Li before thermalizing.This nonther-nucleosynthesis may proceed via 3H(3He)+4He →which has a threshold of 4.80MeV (4.03MeV)is therefore not available for thermal nucleosynthe-and it may result in a 6Li yield much larger than in [51].III.NUMERICAL IMPLEMENTATIONA.GeneralWe use a spherically symmetric geometry where a spherical antimatter region is surrounded by a thick shell of matter.We assume equal initial densities n b =n ¯b in both regions,such that the average net baryon density n B corresponds to η =6×10−10.We give our results as a function of two parameters,the radius of the antimatter region r A ,and the antimatter-matter ratio R .These parameters together with the net baryon density determine the initial local baryon density n b and the volume fraction f V covered by antimatter.The volume fraction depends only on the antimatter-matter ratioR =f V n ¯b1−f V.(28)The initial baryon density n b is linked to the volume frac-tion throughn B =(1−f V )n b −f V n b .(29)The radius of our grid is L =r A /f 1/3V .We assume reflec-tive boundary conditions at the outer boundary of the matter shell.This models the situation where antimat-ter regions of radius r A are separated from each other by the distance 2L between their centers.For R ≪1,also f V ≪1and r A ≪L ,so that we have a relatively small antimatter region surrounded by a much larger volume of matter.The annihilation creates a narrow depletion zone around the boundary between the matter and antimat-ter regions.An accurate treatment requires a dense grid spacing in this region.The position of the boundary moves with time.Therefore a fixed non-uniform grid is not adequate.We use a steeply non-uniform grid,which is updated at every time step.The number of grid cellsper unit distance is proportional to the gradient in baryon density.The total number of cells is kept constant.We include nucleosynthesis both in matter and anti-matter.In matter we follow the reactions up to A=7, in antimatter up to¯A=4.Our code includes15iso-topes:n,p,D,3H,3He,4He,6Li,7Li,7Be,¯n,¯p,H, 3He.Heavier matter isotopes are included assinks.B.Annihilation and diffusionBecause of the large uncertainty or lack of data for most of the relevant annihilation reactions we simply useσv =σ0(30) for the¯n n,¯n p,n¯p,and all¯n A,n¯A annihilation cross sections andσv =C(v)σ0(31) for¯p p and all¯p A,p¯A,and¯AA annihilations.HereC(v)=2π|Z1Z2|α/v3T/µ,whereµis the reduced mass of the annihilating pair.We also studied the effect of including an A2/3dependence inσ0.We assume that¯n A and¯p A have the same nuclear yields,and that n¯A and p¯A have the corresponding an-tiyields.The most important¯p A reaction is¯p4He.For its yield we use¯p+4He→0.490n+0.309p+0.130D+0.4373H+0.2103He,(33) where we have taken the D,3H,3He yields from[35],σ(¯p n)/σ(¯p p)=0.42from[38],and we assumed charge exchange has no net effect,to get the n and p yields. The¯n A,¯p A,n¯A,and p¯A yields for other nuclei than A= 4He are not important.We estimated yields for them by assuming that¯p(¯n)annihilation is twice as likely with p than with n in the nucleus[39,38],using the experimental p,D,and3H yields for¯p6Li and¯p7Li[37],and otherwise trying to mimic the¯p4He data.There is no data on annihilation of an antinucleus on a nucleus.For simplicity we assume that the lighter nu-cleus is annihilated completely,and the remnants of the heavier nucleus go into4He nuclei and nucleons,with equal number of protons and neutrons.Especially,anni-hilation of a nucleus on an antinucleus with equal mass number leads to total annihilation.Annihilation,nuclear reactions,and diffusion are solved together for better accuracy.Hydrodynamic ex-pansion,spreading of the annihilation yields,and photo-disintegration are treated as separate steps.We include diffusion of all ions and neutrons.Annihilation reactions are represented by the differen-tial equationdY kConsider the spreading of nuclei produced during one time step,along a linear path.The spherical symmetry allows us to identify paths with same tangential distance r 0from the symmetry center.Let F (E,s,r 0)dr 0denote the cumulative spectrum of nuclei at distance s from the tangent point.The energy spectrum obeys the differen-tial equationF (E,s,r 0)dr 0=F (E −dE4π.Here g (r )is the number of particles created per unit vol-ume at distance r from the center,F 0(E )is their initial spectrum,and solid angle Ω(r 0)=2πn+p total[53,54]n+¯p total [55]n+4He total[56]n+4He →3H +D [57](from inverse reaction),[58]n+4He →3H +p +n [58]n+4He →D +p +2n [58]n+4He →2D +n [58]n+4He →3He +2n [58]n →p τ=886.7sTABLE I.Neutron reactions and references to their cross section data.D.Nonthermal nuclear reactionsWe ignore spallation of nuclei by energetic nucleons for other nuclei than 4He.Our results show that even 4He spallation is a relatively small effect,which confirms that spallation of other nuclei can be safely ignored.We ignore in this work also the production of 6Li by non-thermal 3He(3H)+4He reactions [51],but we are incorporating it for future work [59].E.CMB distortionWe calculate the ratio of injected energy to the CMB energy asW =2keV1dTdT (38)and require W <6×10−5to satisfy the CMB constraint.Here ρCMB is the energy density of the background radi-ation and ¯ρann is the energy density released in annihila-tion reactions in form of photons and electrons,averaged over space.Effectively,we are assuming complete ther-malization above T =2keV (redshift z ≈8.5×106)and no thermalization below it.We count into ¯ρann half of the total annihilation energy.The other half disappears as neutrinos,and has no effect on nucleosynthesis or CMB.F.PhotodisintegrationWe compute the initial spectra of electrons and pho-tons from pion decay following Sec.IIE.We assume an exponential kinetic energy distribution for the pions,with mean total energy equal to 2m p /5.7=329MeV.The electrons transfer their energy to background photons through inverse Compton scattering.We compute the spectrum of the upscattered photons using the Klein-Nishina cross section,assuming a thermal background spectrum and E e ≫m e .We then redistribute the energy of the initial photons (upscattered and from π0decay),whose energies are above E c into the standard cascade spectrum [Eq.(17)].The photons in this resulting spectrum have then an opportunity to photodisintegrate.These photons may pair produce on a nucleus,Compton scatter,or photo-disintegrate nuclei.We allow an unlimited number of Compton scatterings for a single photon,but we remove the photon after the production of an e ±pair or a pho-todisintegration reaction.The created e ±pairs,as well as the background electrons which gain energy in Comp-ton scattering,will produce a second generation of non-thermal photons by inverse Compton scattering.These secondary photons are,however,much less energetic than the primary ones,and we ignore them.The photodisintegration reactions included in our code are listed in Table II.In [24]we used the results of Protheroe,Stanev and Berezinsky (PSB)[46]for photodisintegration.PSB cal-culated the amount of 3He and D produced per 1GeV of energy released in the form of photons and electrons,as a function of redshift.However,their result does not apply for annihilation at low temperatures,when a significant part of the initial photon spectrum from annihilation is below the threshold for photon-photon pair production.In Fig.3we compare the PSB yields with the more de-tailed treatment described above which we are now using.yields(solid lines)with Protheroe et al.[46](dashed lines). We get less3He(D)than the PSB yield for T<100eV (50eV).There are two reasons for this difference. Reaction Ref.3He/H=1.06×10−5.Larger antimatter regions,r A>∼4×107m,have also antineutrons left by the time of nucleosynthesis,and thus antinucleosynthesis,producing mainly4He annihilation will later produce high-energy antinucleons,which penetrate deep into the matter re-gion before annihilating.Thus not all of the annihilation occurs in the annihilation zone(“primary”annihilation), but there is also a significant amount of“secondary”an-nihilation occurring in a large volume surrounding the annihilation zone.The main annihilation reaction during the second stage is¯p4He.It produces3He and a smaller amount of D. Because of their high energy,these annihilation products penetrate some distance away from the annihilation zone. Less than half of them end up in the antimatter region and are annihilated immediately.The rest end up in the matter region,but partly so close to the antimatter region that they are sucked into the annihilation zone and annihilated later(except for the largest scales studied). For r A>∼5×107m,part of the annihilation occurs be-low T=0.6keV where4He photodisintegration produces 3He and D.Thus there are two main contributions to3He and D production:annihilation and photodisintegration.We show these contributions separately in Figs.7and8. Figure7a shows the net production of3He(including 3H)from all annihilation reactions.The most important 3He producing reaction is¯p4He.Another is¯n4He,where the antineutrons come from p4the contribution is negative,since3He photodisintegrationdominates over photoproduction.In Fig.7a,the feature at R>0.1,r A=109–1010m is due to annihilation of the photoproduced3He.For D(see Fig.8)we observe the same effects,with some differences.Annihilation produces about5times more3He than D,but D penetrates farther from the an-nihilation zone and thus survives better.Therefore the D yield from annihilation is less dependent on r A,as most of the D survives already for smaller scales.The ratio of the net annihilation production of3He and D is there-fore less than5,and approaches this number only for the largest scales,wherefinally most of the3He also survives. Photodisintegration of D begins already at T= 5.3keV,so it occurs always when the second annihila-tion stage is reached.Photoproduction of D from4He can only begin at T=0.45keV.Also the D yield from 4He photodisintegration is less than a tenth of the3He yield.Therefore D photoproduction overcomes photodis-integration only for scales r A>∼3×108m.The third significant mechanism for D and3He pro-duction caused by annihilation is spallation of4He by the high-energy neutrons from¯p4He annihilation.Forthe scales r A=107–108m its D and3He yields are about 10%of that by annihilation reactions.For larger scalesits relative importance falls off,as neutrons decay into protons,which are then thermalized,before encounter-ing a4He nucleus.Because of the large uncertainty about the annihilationcross sections in reactions involving other nuclei than just nucleons,we studied the effect of including an A2/3de-pendence in the cross section.This did not have a signifi-cant effect on the primary annihilation in the annihilationzone,but increasing the¯n4He cross section increased the probability of secondary antineutrons annihilating4Heinstead of protons.Thus we got an increased3He yield for distance scales r A∼108–5×109m.Reducing the ¯n4He cross section would have an opposite effect.Comparing our calculated yields to the observed abun-dances and the primordial abundances derived from them[66,67],we obtain upper limits to the amount of antimat-ter in the early universe.We plot the limits fromand CMB on the antimatter-matter ratio R as aof the radius of the antimatter region in Fig.9.For small antimatter regions the limit comes fromderproduction ing Y p=0.22as our limit to the primordial4He mass fraction,we obtainupper limit R<∼0.02–0.04for r A=0.6–20×106 Because this result is obtained from a calculationthe net baryon density η =6×10−10,to the SBBN yield Y p=0.248,a better way toour4He constraint is that we allow a maximum tion of∆Y p=0.028from the SBBN result. assumptions onηand observed Y p could give a acceptable∆Y p and thus a tighter limit on R.But does not work in the other direction,since the4He falls very rapidly with increasing R.Thus the limit R can hardly be relaxed from our stated value bydifferent observational constraints.At larger scales,r A>2×107m,the limit is setoverproduction of3He.There has been much uncertaintyin the estimated primordial3He abundance,because of a large scatter in its observed abundances and uncertaintiesabout its chemical evolution[66,68].Current knowledge suggests a probable primordial abundance of3He/H∼10−5,with three times this value a reasonable upper limit [68].Thus we have used the constraint3He/H<10−4.5.The upper limit to R from3He falls rapidly as the distance scale is increased from2×107m to109m,wherethe limit becomes R<∼2×10−4.For even larger scales the limit is slightly relaxed but stays below3×10−4.Fig.9can be compared to Fig.2of Rehm and Jedamzik [23]or to Fig.2of[24].Our4He yield is slightly largerand the corresponding limit to R weaker than in[23], because our net baryon density, η =6×10−10,is larger than the one used in[23], η =3.43×10−10.Near r A∼108m we now get a tighter limit on R due to a higher3He yield than we gave in[24].This is due to 3He production by secondary annihilation in the matter region,which was ignored in[24].These limits are stronger than those from the CMBspectrum distortion for scales r A≤1011m.We did not calculate the yields for larger scales,but the3He and D yields should become roughly independent of r A,since for these larger scales the primary annihilation products penetrate far enough from the annihilation region to sur-vive,and the spectrum responsible for photodisintegra-tion is the initial annihilation spectrum,so the depen-dence on the annihilation temperature disappears.The CMB limit should then become stronger than the3He constraint near the scale r A∼1012m.V.CONCLUSIONSWe have studied the effect of antimatter regions of a comoving size r A∼10−5–10pc on big bang nucleosyn-thesis.Smaller antimatter regions annihilate before weak ter-matter ratio R as a function of the radius r A of the an-timatter regions.The area above the solid lines is excluded by4He underproduction(Y p<0.22)or3He overproduction (3He/H>10−4.5).The dashed line gives an alternative limit from using3He/D>1as the criterion for3He overproduction. The dot-dashed line is the limit from CMB distortion. freeze-out and are not likely to lead to observable rger regions annihilate close to,or after recombination,and the amount of antimatter in such re-gions is tightly constrained by the CMB and CDG spec-tra.Regions smaller than r A∼2×10−3pc annihilate be-fore nucleosynthesis.The annihilation occurs due to neu-tron and antineutron diffusion and leads to a reduction in the n/p ratio and thus to a reduction in Y p.Requiring Y p≥0.22,we obtain an upper limit R<∼few%for the primordial antimatter-matter ratio for antimatter regions in the size range r A∼(0.1–2)×10−3pc.If the annihilation is not complete by nucleosynthesis, at T∼80keV,it is significantly delayed,since all neu-trons and antineutrons are incorporated into4He and 4。

QUANTIFIERS Stanley Peters Dag Westerst˚ahlDRAFTJune10,20022Chapter1 Phenomena34CHAPTER1.PHENOMENAChapter2The Concept of a (Generalized)QuantifierIn this chapter we present our principal semantic tool,the concept of a(gener-alized)quantifier introduced by logicians in the mid-20th century.1But rather than writing down the formal definitions directly,we introduce the concept gradually,following the historical development right from its Aristotelian be-ginnings.This procedure has not only pedagogical merits,we believe.The evolution of notions of quantification is actually quite interesting,both from a historical and a systematic perspective.We hope this will transpire in what follows,even though our perspective in the text is mainly systematic.Indeed, we shall use these glimpses from the history of ideas not merely as a soft way to approach a technical concept,but also as occasions to introduce a number of semantic and methodological issues that will be recurring themes of this book.2.1Early History of Quantifiers2.1.1Aristotelian BeginningsWhen Aristotle invented the very idea of logic some two thousand four hundred years ago,he focused precisely on the analysis of quantification.Operators like and and or were added later(by Stoic philosophers).Aristotle’s syllogisms can be seen as a formal rendering of some important inferential properties,hence of important aspects of the meaning,of the expressions all,some,no,not6CHAPTER2.THE CONCEPT OF A(GENERALIZED)QUANTIFIER all.These provide four prime examples of the kind of quantifiers that this book is about.A syllogism has the form:2Q1ABQ2BC2This is the so-calledfirstfigure—three morefigures are obtained by permuting AB or BC in the premisses.We are simplifying Aristotle’s mode of presenting the syllogisms,but not distorting it.Observe in particular that Aristotle was thefirst to use variables in logic, and thus to introduce the idea of an inference scheme.3Aristotle pointed out the various kinds of‘opposition’holding between these four quan-tifiers(cf.below),but it appears to have been Apuleios of Madaura(2nd century A.D.)who first presented them in the form of a square.The two top quantifiers—or rather the corre-sponding propositions—are called‘universal’and the two bottom ones‘particular’.In the classical square the two bottom quantifiers are actually reversed compared to thefigure here. Then,the leftmost quantifiers(all,some)are‘affirmative’,and the rightmost ones(no,not all)‘negative’.2.1.EARLY HISTORY OF QUANTIFIERS7Here are two typical examples of syllogistic inference schemes:(2.1)all ABno BCsome ACThis too has the stipulated syllogistic form,but it is invalid:one may easily choose A,B,C so as to make the premisses true but the conclusion false.A syllogism is a particular instantiation of a syllogistic scheme:All Greeks are sailorsNo sailors are scaredSome whales havefinsis an invalid one instantiating(2.2).It was perfectly clear to Aristotle(though regrettably not always to his fol-lowers)that the actual truth or falsity of its premisses or conclusion is irrelevant to the(in)validity of a syllogism—except that no valid inference can have true premisses and a false conclusion.In particular,a valid syllogism can have false premisses.For example,in thefirst(valid)syllogism above all three statements involved are false,whereas in the second(invalid)one they are all true.There are256syllogistic schemes.Aristotle characterized which ones of these are valid,not by enumeration but by an axiomatic method where all valid ones were deducible from(the valid ones in)thefirstfigure(in fact from just two syllogisms from thatfigure).Apart from being thefirst example of a deductive system,it was an impressive contribution to the logico-semantic analysis of quantification.However,it must be noted that this analysis does not exhaust the meaning of these quantifiers,4since there are many valid inference schemes involving these words which do not have the form of syllogisms,for example,8CHAPTER2.THE CONCEPT OF A(GENERALIZED)QUANTIFIERJohn knows every professorMary is a professorSome professor is not an assistantThese inferences go beyond syllogistic form in at least the following ways: (i)names of individuals play an essential role;(ii)there are not only names of properties(such as adjectives,nouns,intransitive verbs)as in the syllogisms, but also names of binary relations(such as transitive verbs);(iii)quantification can be iterated(occur in both the sybject and the object of a transitive verb, for example).While none of these features may seem,at least in hindsight,like a formidable challenge,it is certainly much harder than in the syllogistic case to describe the logical structures needed to account for the validity of inferences of these kinds.At the same time,it is rather clear that a logic which cannot handle such inferences will not be able to account for,say,the structure of proofs in elementary geometry(like Euclid’s),or,for that matter,much of everyday reasoning.The failure to realize the limitations of the syllogistic form is part of the explanation why logic led a rather stagnant and unproductive existence after Aristotle,all the way up to the late19th century.Only when the syllogistics is extended to modern predicate logic do we in fact get a full set of inference schemes which,in a particular but precise sense,capture all valid inferences pertaining to the four quantifiers Aristotle studied.Proof-theoretic vs.Model-theoretic Semantics for Quantifiers Approaching meaning via inference patterns is characteristic of a proof-theoretic perspective on semantics.In the case of our four quantifiers,however,it seems that whenever a certain system of such schemes is proposed—such as the syllogisms—we can always ask if these schemes are correct,and if they are exhaustive or complete.Since we understand these questions,and likewise what reasonable answers would be,one may wonder if there isn’t some other more primary sense in which we know the meaning of these expressions.But,however this(thorny)issue in the philosophy of language is resolved,it is clear that in the case of Aristotelian quantifiers there is indeed a different and more direct way in which their meaning can be given.Interestingly,that way is also clearly present,at least in retrospect,in the syllogistics.For,on reflection,it is clear that each of these four quantifier expressions stands for a particular binary relation between properties,or,looking at the matter more extensionally,a binary relation between sets.When A,B,C are2.1.EARLY HISTORY OF QUANTIFIERS9 arbitrary sets,5these relations can be given in standard set theoretic notation as follows:all(A,B)⇐⇒A⊆Bsome(A,B)⇐⇒A∩B=∅no(A,B)⇐⇒A∩B=∅not-all(A,B)⇐⇒A−B=∅.So,for example,(2.3)All Greeks are sailorssimply means that the set of Greeks stands in the inclusion relation to the set of sailors.This observationfits with a model-theoretic perspective on meaning,rather than a proof-theoretic one.In a way it lays the foundation for the whole theory of(generalized)quantifiers that this book is built on,so the model-theoretic approach will be dominant here.Quantifier Expressions and their DenotationsIn this connection,let us note something that has been implicit in the above. Quantifier expressions are syntactic objects,different in different languages.On the present account,some such expressions‘stand for’,or‘denote’,or have as their‘extensions’,particular relations between sets.So,for example,the English no and the Swedish ingen both denote the relation that holds between two sets if and only if they are disjoint.There is nothing language-dependent about these relations.But,of course,to talk about them we need to use language:a meta-language containing some set-theoretic terminology and,in the present book, English.In this meta-language,we sometimes use the handy convention that an English quantifier expression,in italics,names the corresponding relation between sets.Thus,no as defined above is the disjointness relation,and hence the relation denoted by both the Swedish expression ingen and the English expression no.We note that on the present(Aristotelian)analysis each of the main words in a sentence like(2.3)has an extension;it denotes a set-theoretic object.Just as sailor denotes the set of sailors and Greek the set of Greeks,all denotes the inclusion relation.Such a‘name theory’of extension has by no means always been preferred in the history of semantics,not even by those who endorse a model-theoretic perspective.6As we will see presently,it was explicitly rejected10CHAPTER2.THE CONCEPT OF A(GENERALIZED)QUANTIFIER by medieval logicians,and likewise by some of the founders of modern logic,like Bertrand Russell.The reason was,partly,that to these logicians there seemed to be no good candidates for the denotation of this kind of expressions,so they had to be dealt with in another way.However,Aristotle’s account of the four quantifers mentioned so far surely points to one such candidate:(*)Quantifier expressions denote relations between sets.As it turns out,this simple idea resolves the problems encountered by earlier logicians,and it lays the foundation of a coherent and fruitful account of quan-tification.2.1.2Middle AgesMedieval logicians and philosophers devoted much effort to the semantics of quantified statements,essentially restricted to syllogistic form.We shall not recount their efforts here,but merely note that they explicitly made the distinc-tion between words that have an independent meaning,and words that don’t. The former were called categorematic,the latter syncategorematic.Here is an illustrative quote.Categorematic terms have a definite and certain signification,e.g.this name‘man’signifies all men,and this name‘animal’all animals,and this name‘whiteness’all whitenesses.But syncategorematicterms,such as are‘all’,‘no’,‘some’,‘whole’,‘besides’,‘only’,‘in sofar as’and such-like,do not have a definite and certain signification,nor do they signify anything distinct from what is signified by thecategoremata....Hence this syncategoremata‘all’has no definitesignificance,but when attached to‘man’makes it stand or supposefor all men....And the same is to be held proportionately forthe others,...though distinct functions are exercised by distinctsyncatgoremata....(William of Ockham,Summa Logicae,vol.I,around1320;[Boche´n ski1970],p.157–8.)It is reasonable to take having‘a definite and clear signification’here to mean having(at least)a denotation.A quantifier expression like all does not denote anything by itself,Ockham says,but combined with categorematic nouns like man it does denote something,apparently the set of all men.Likewise,(an utterance of)some man could be taken to denote a particular man.So quantifier words do not denote,but quantified noun phrases do.However,these ideas about what they denote become problematic,to say the least,when applied to other cases.Do we say that no man denotes the empty set,and thus has the same denotation as no woman?What does not all cats denote?As we will see,these problems are unsolvable and in fact show that this sort of account is on the wrong tack.72.1.EARLY HISTORY OF QUANTIFIERS11The next quote also begins with attempt to explain,along similar(hence equally problematic)lines,the signification of the Aristotelian quantifier ex-pressions.The universal sign is that by which it is signified that the universalterm to which it is adjoined stands copulatively for its suppositum(per modum copulationis)...The particular sign is that by whichit is signified that a universal term stands disjunctively for all itssupposita....Hence it is requisite and necessary for the truth ofthis:‘some man runs’,that it be true of some(definite)man tosay that he runs,i.e.that one of the singular(propositions)is truewhich is a part of the disjunctive(proposition):‘Socrates(runs)orPlato runs,and so of each’,since it is sufficient for the truth of adisjunctive that one of its parts be true.(Albert of Saxony,LogicaAlbertucii Perutilis Logica,vol.III,Venice,1522;[Boche´n ski1970],p.234.)The latter part of the quote,on the other hand,is a way of stating the truth conditions for quantified sentences,in terms of(long)disjunctions and conjunctions.This brings out the important point that it is perfectly possible to state adequate truth conditions for quantified sentences without assuming that the quantifier expressions themselves have an independent meaning(deno-tation).Indeed,this is how the Tarskian truth definition is usually formulated in current text books infirst-order logic.Medieval logicians,and later Russell (see below)took the position that it is in fact necessary to proceed in this way. Generalized quantifier theory applied to natural languages,on the other hand, claims that it is in fact possible to have quantifier expressions as denoting,and that such an approach(which,as we have seen,can be traced back to Aristo-tle)has definite advantages:it identifies an important syntactic and semantic category,and it conforms better to the Principle of Compositionality,according to which the meaning of a complex expression is determined by the meanings of its parts and the mode of composition.More about this later.Logicality vs.SyncategorematicityWhile being on the subject of medieval logic,we take the opportunity to state another important point.It was common then to define logic as the study of the syncategorematic terms.And atfirst sight,it is indeed tempting to identify the syncategorematic/categorematic distinction with the distinction between logical and non-logical constants.But such an identification should be resisted,at least when one is concerned with more substantial fragments of natural languages. What makes a term merit the attribute‘logical’(or,for that matter‘constant’)is one thing,having to do with particular features of its semantics;precisely what is involved here is a matter of some controversy,and we return to it in Chapter XXX.However,the fact that a word or morpheme does not have independent semantic status is quite another thing,which applies to many other expressions than those traditionally seen as logical.12CHAPTER2.THE CONCEPT OF A(GENERALIZED)QUANTIFIER Syncategorematic terms correspond roughly to what linguists nowadays call grammatical morphemes.English examples might be the progressive verb ending -ing,the word it in sentences such as It is hard to know what he meant, and the infinitive particle to:in To lie to your teacher is bad,the second to(the preposition)might be categorematic,but thefirst syncategorematic.A grammatical morpheme may not belong in a dictionary at all,or if it does there could be a description of its phonological and syntactic features(e.g. valence features:which other words it combines with),but not of its meaning. This does not preclude,as pointed out above,that there might be a systematic account of what larger phrases containing the grammatical morpheme mean. But its meaning as it were arises via a grammatical rule;hence the name.Now,it may be a matter of dispute whether our four quantifier expressions belong to this category.(We claim,of course,that this dispute can be settled.) But whether they do or not,this fact is surely quite distinct from the eventual fact of their logicality.2.2Quantifiers in Beginning Predicate Logic Predicate logic was invented at the end of the19th century.A number of philosophers or mathematicians had similar ideas,partly independently of each other,at about the same time,but the pride of place goes without a doubt to Gottlob Frege.Nevertheless it is interesting to see the shape these new ideas about quantification took with some other authors too,notably Peirce,Peano, and Russell.One totally new concept concerns variable-binding:the idea of variables that could be bound by certain operators,notably the universal and existential quantifiers.This was no small feat—it is not something that can be‘copied’from natural languages,since it is not obvious that this sort of variable-binding occurs there at all—and the idea took some time to crystallize.In a way variable-binding belongs to the syntax of predicate logic,though it is of course crucial to the project to explain the truth conditions of sentences with bound variables(an explanation which took even longer to reach its correct form).In this respect(too),Frege was unique.His explanation,though perfectly correct and precise,did not take the form that wasfifty years later given by Tarski’s truth definition.Instead,he treated—no doubt because of his strong views about compositionality—the quantifier symbols as categorematic,standing for certain second-order objects.This is closely related to the idea of quantifiers as relations between sets that we have traced back to Aristotle,though in Frege’s case combined with a much more expressive formal language than the syllogis-tics and containing the mechanism of variable-binding.Nothing even remotely similar can be found with the other early predicate logicians,so let us begin with them.2.2.QUANTIFIERS IN BEGINNING PREDICATE LOGIC13 2.2.1PeircePeirce in fact designed two systems of predicate logical notation.One was2-dimensional and diagrammatic,employing so-called existential graphs.What the other one looked like is indicated in the following quote:...the whole expression of the proposition consist[s]of two parts,apure Boolean expression referring to an individual and a Quantifyingpart saying what individual this is.Thus,if k means‘he is king’andh,‘he is happy’,the Boolean(¯k+h)means that the individual spoken of is either not a king or is happy.Now,applying the quantification,we may writeAny(¯k+h)to mean that this is true of any individual in the(limited)universe....In order to render this notation as iconical as possible we may useΣfor some,suggesting a sum,andΠfor all,suggesting a product.ThusΣi x i means that x is true of some one of the individuals denotedby i orΣi x i=x i+x j+x k+etc.In the same way,Πi x i means that x is true of all these individuals,orΠi x i=x i x j x k,etc....It is to be remarked thatΣi x i andΠi x i are only similar to asum and a product;they are not strictly of that nature,because theindividuals of the universe may be innumerable.([Peirce1885],in[Boche´n ski1970],p.349.)Thus k,h,x are formulas here.Quantified sentences are divided into a (Boolean)formula and a quantifier symbol,similarly to the modern notation. The quantifier symbols are chosen in a way to indicate their meaning(in terms of conjunction and disjunction),but Peirce does not yet have quite the notation for bound variables.InΣi x i it would seem that i is a variable whose occurrences in the formula x get bound by the quantification,but in x i+x j+x k+...the i,j,k look more like names of individuals.One sees how Peirce has basically the right ideas,but that expressing them formally is still a non-trivial matter.14CHAPTER2.THE CONCEPT OF A(GENERALIZED)QUANTIFIER2.2.2PeanoOne feature of standard predicate logic is that the same variables that occur free in formulas can get bound by quantification.It appears that thefirst to introduce this idea was Peano:If the propositions a,b,contain undetermined beings,such as x,y,...,i.e.if there are relationships among the beings themselves,thena⊃x,y,...b signifies:whatever x,y,...,may be,b is deduced fromthe proposition a.([Peano1889],in[Boche´n ski1970],p.350.)Here we have a consistent use of variable-binding,albeit only for universally quantified conditionals.2.2.3RussellIn his early philosophy Russell subscribed to an almost Meinongian idea about denotation:all expressions of a certain form had to denote something,and it was the logician’s task to say what these denotations were.Here is a quote from 1903:In the case of a class a which has afinite number of terms[members]—say,a1,a2,a3,...a n,we can illustrate these various notions asfollows:(1)All a’s denotes a1and a2and...and a n.(2)Every a denotes a1and denotes a2and...and denotes a n.(3)Any a denotes a1or a2or...or a n,where or has the meaningthat it is irrelevant which we take.(4)An a denotes a1or a2or...or a n,where or has the meaningthat no one in particular must be taken,just as in all a’s wemust not take anyone in particular.(5)Some a denotes a1or denotes a2or...or denotes a n,where itis not irrelevant which is taken,but on the contrary some oneparticular a must be taken.([Russell1903],p.59.)This is an honest attempt to explain the denotation of(what we would now call)certain quantified noun phrases;nevertheless it is clear that the account is full of unresolved problems.8It shows how hard the problem really was,and how confusion as to the meaning of the quantifiers was possible among prominent logicians around1900.2.2.QUANTIFIERS IN BEGINNING PREDICATE LOGIC15Later on,Russell’s explications of the quantifiers became more similar to those of Peano,in terms of propositional functions,and‘real’(free)and‘appar-ent’(bound)variables.It is easy to see that problems like these with specifying the denotation of quantified noun phrases might lead one give up this idea completely,and concentrate on precise statement of truth conditions for quantified sentences in-stead.Indeed,Russell came to deny most emphatically that phrases like every man,a man,the man were‘denoting expressions’,and similarly for definite de-scriptions like the woman,the present king of France.Today’s standard predicate logic essentially takes the same view.Russell’s change of opinion on this issue was not to him a matter of giving up anything;rather he saw it as a deep insight about logical form contra surface form,with far-reaching consequences for logic,epistemology(cf.knowledge by acquaintace vs.knowledge by description),and philosophy of language.Though his arguments were quite forceful,it would seem that later developments in formal semantics,and in particular the theory of(generalized)quantifiers,have seriously undermined them.Roughly,this theory provides a logical form which does treat the offending expressions as denoting,and which thus brings out a closer structural similarity between surface and logical structure.One may debate which logical form is the correct one(to the extent that this question makes sense),but one can no longer claim that no precise logical form which treats quantifier expressions or noun phrases as denoting is available.2.2.4FregeAlready in1879(Begriffsschrift),Frege was clear about the syntax as well as the semantics of quantifiers.But his two-dimensional logical notation did not survive,so below we use a modernized variant.First-level(n-ary)functions take(n)objects as arguments and yield an object as value.Second-level functions takefirst-level functions as arguments, and so on;values are always objects.Frege was thefirst to use the trick—now standard in type theory9—of reducing predicates(concepts)to functions:an n-aryfirst-level predicate is a function from n objects to the truth values The True and The False(or1and0),and similarly for higher-level predicates.For example,from the sentenceJohn is the father of Marywe can obtain the two unaryfirst-level predicatesξis the father of MaryandJohn is the father ofη,16CHAPTER2.THE CONCEPT OF A(GENERALIZED)QUANTIFIERthe binaryfirst-level predicate(2.4)ξis the father ofη,as well as the unary second-level predicateΨ(John,Mary).(HereΨstands for any binaryfirst-level predicate.‘Mixed’predicates,like Ψ(ξ,Mary),were not allowed by Frege.)For example,(2.4)denotes the function which sends a pair of objects to The True if thefirst object is the father of the second,and all other pairs of objects to The False.Equivalently,we can say it denotes the relation‘father of’.Now suppose(2.5)A(ξ)is a syntactic name of a unaryfirst-level predicate.According to Frege,the (object)variableξdoes not belong to the name;it just marks a place,and we could as well writeA(·).The sentence(2.6)∀xA(x)is obtained,according to Frege,by inserting the name(2.5)into the second-level predicate name(2.7)∀xΨ(x).(2.7)is a primitive name denoting the universal quantifier,i.e.,the unary second-level predicate which is true(gives the value The True)for precisely thosefirst level(unary)predicates which are true of every object.(Again the(first-level) variableΨin(2.7)is just a place-holder.)So(2.6)denotes the value of the universal quantifier applied to the predicate(denoted by)(2.5),i.e.,a truth value.The result is that∀xA(x)is true iffA(ξ)is true for any objectξ.Other quantifiers can be given as primitive,or defined in terms of the universal quantifier and propositional operators.For example,¬∀x¬Ψ(x)is the existential quantifier,and∀x(Ψ(x)→Φ(x))is the binary quantifier(second-level predicate)all—one of the four Aristotelian quantifiers.Summarizing,we note2.3.THE EMERGENCE OF(GENERALIZED)QUANTIFIERS IN LOGIC17•Frege’s clear distinction between names(formulas,terms)and their deno-tations;•the distinction between free and bound variables(Frege used different letters whereas nowadays we usually use the same),and that quantifier symbols are variable-binding operators;•quantifier symbols are not syncategorematic but denote well-defined enti-ties,quantifiers,that is,second-order(second-level)relations.2.3The Emergence of(Generalized)Quantifiersin LogicThe notion of truth—as distinct from notions such as validity or provability —was not formally connected to predicate logic until Tarski’s famous truth definition in[Tarski1935].In this definition,quantifier symbols are again syn-categorematic;they do not denote anything.But since one or two quantifiers are enough(depending on whether one of∀and∃is defined in terms of the other) for the mathematical purposes for which the logic was originally intended,such as formalizing set theory or arithmetic,one may just as well have one clause for each quantifier in the truth definition,and this is still standard practice.2.3.1Absolute vs.Relative TruthIn an important respect Tarski’s original truth definition is half-way between Frege’s conception and a modern one.Frege’s notion of truth is absolute:all symbols(except variables and various punctuation symbols)have a given mean-ing,and the universe of quantification isfixed(to the class of all objects).The modern notion,on the other hand,is that of truth in a structure or model.Tarski too,in1935,considers only symbols with afixed interpretation,and although he describes the possibility of relativizing truth to an arbitrary domain,10he does not really arrive at the notion of truth in a structure until his model-theoretic work in the1950’s.11The model-theoretic notion of truth is relative to two things:an interpreta-tion of the non-logical symbols,and a universe of quantification.Let us consider these in turn.Uninterpreted SymbolsWe are by now accustomed to thinking of logical languages as(possibly)con-taining certain uninterpreted or non-logical symbols,which receive a meaning, or rather an extension,by an interpretation.18CHAPTER2.THE CONCEPT OF A(GENERALIZED)QUANTIFIER The point to note in the present context is that this idea applies nicely to the semantics of quantified expressions,if we keep in mind that an interpretation(in this technical sense)assigns extensions to certain words.For it is characteristic of quantifier expressions,at least on afirst analysis(which actually goes a long way),that only the extensions of their‘arguments’are relevant.That is,in con-trast with many other kinds of phrases in natural languages,quantifier phrases are extensional.Furthermore,phrases that provide arguments to quantifiers, like nouns or adjectives or verb phrases,do have sets as denotations,and it is often natural to see these denotations as depending on what the facts are.The extension of dog or blue are certain sets;under different circumstances they would have been other sets.It makes sense,then,to have a model or interpreta-tion assign the appropriate extensions to them.Quantifier phrases,on the other hand,do not appear to depend on the facts in this way,so their interpretation is constant—in a sense which remains to make precise,and which we will come back to.Methodological digression.We are claiming that afirst-order framework allows us to get at the meaning of quantifier expressions,but we are not making the same claim for,say,nouns.Here the claim is only that it provides all the needed denotations—but it may provide many more(e.g.uncountable sets),and it says nothing about how these denotations are constrained.For example,nothing in predicate logic prevents us from interpreting bachelor in such a way that it is disjoint from the interpretation of man.But this is not a problem;it rather illustrates a general feature of all model-ing.12We are modeling a linguistic phenomenon—quantification.The model should contain the relevant features of that phenomenon,but may disregard other features of language.Abstracting away from certain features of the world it allows us,if successful,to get a clearer view of others,by means of system-izations,explanations,even predictions that would otherwise not be available. By way of an analogy,to build a model that allows you tofind out if a certain ship willfloat—before putting it to sea—you need to model certain of its aspects,like density,but not others,like the material of its hull.Provided, of course,that the material doesn’t have effects onfloatability that you didn’t foresee;that it doesn’t is part of the claim that the model is successful.End of digression.Incidentally,the treatment of individual constants in predicate logicfits well with the use of proper names in natural languages.Here the reason is not that the denotation of a name depends on what the world is like,but that languages contain a limited number of names,most of which are used to each denote a large number of individuals.Selecting a denotation for such a name is a way offixing linguistic content for a certain occasion,and it accords with certain aspects of how names are used,though,again,it does not constitute—and is。

1. The particulate nature of matter• Describe the states of matter and explain their interconversion in terms of the kinetic particle theoryIn solid particles only vibrate about fixed positions, regular structure.In liquid particles have some freedom and can move around each other, collide often.In gas particles move freely and at random in all the space available, collide less often than in liquid.The heat energy causes particles vibrate faster as they gain energy and push their neighboring particles further away from themselves, the forces of attraction weakens. The regular pattern of the structure breaks down and the particles can now move around each other, the solid has melted.If the liquid is heated the particles will move around even faster as their average energy increases, some particles at the surface of the liquid have enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction between themselves and other particles in the liquid and they escape to form a gas.When a gas is cooled the average energy of the particles decreases and the particles move closer together, the forces of attraction between the particles now become significant and cause the gas to condense into a liquid.• Describe dependence of rate of diffusion on molecular mass (treated qualitatively)Heavier particles move more slowly than lighter ones at a given temperature. • Describe and explain diffusionThe spreading out of a gas is called diffusion.The collisions are taking place between particles in a liquid or a gas and that there is sufficient space between the particles of one substance for the particles of the other substance for the particles of the other substance to move into. •Describe evidence for the movement of particles in gases and liquids (a treatment of Brownian motion is not required)Bromine fumes (brown red), nickel (II) sulphate (green)2.

The coordination generalized particle model—An evolutionaryapproach to multi-sensor fusionXiang Fenga,*,Francis u a ,Dianxun ShuaibaDepartment of Computer Science,The University of Hong Kong,Hong KongbDepartment of Computer Science and Engineering,East China University of Science and Technology,Shanghai 200237,PR ChinaReceived 9November 2006;received in revised form 6January 2007;accepted 6January 2007Available online 14January 2007AbstractThe rising popularity of multi-source,multi-sensor networks supporting real-life applications calls for an efficient and intelligent approach to information fusion.Traditional optimization techniques often fail to meet the demands.The evolutionary approach pro-vides a valuable alternative due to its inherent parallel nature and its ability to deal with difficult problems.We present a new evolution-ary approach based on the coordination generalized particle model (C-GPM)which is founded on the laws of physics.C-GPM treats sensors in the network as distributed intelligent agents with various degrees of autonomy.Existing approaches based on intelligent agents cannot completely answer the question of how their agents could coordinate their decisions in a complex environment.The proposed C-GPM approach can model the autonomy of as well as the social coordinations and interactive behaviors among sensors in a decen-tralized paradigm.Although the other existing evolutionary algorithms have their respective advantages,they may not be able to capture the entire dynamics inherent in the problem,especially those that are high-dimensional,highly nonlinear,and random.The C-GPM approach can overcome such limitations.We develop the C-GPM approach as a physics-based evolutionary approach that can describe such complex behaviors and dynamics of multiple sensors.Ó2007Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.Keywords:Multi-sensor fusion;Sensor behavior;Sensor coordination;Evolutionary algorithm;Dynamic sensor resource allocation problem;Coordi-nation generalized particle model (C-GPM)1.IntroductionSensor fusion is a method of integrating signals from multiple sources into a single signal or piece of informa-tion.These sources are sensors or devices that allow for perception or measurement of the changing environment.The method uses ‘‘sensor fusion’’or ‘‘data fusion’’algo-rithms which can be classified into different groups,includ-ing (1)fusion based on probabilistic models,(2)fusion based on least-squares techniques,and (3)intelligent fusion.This paper presents an evolutionary approach to intelligent information fusion.Many applications in multi-sensor information fusion can be stated as optimization problems.Among the many different optimization techniques,evolutionary algorithms (EA)are a heuristic-based global search and optimization methods that have found their way into almost every area of real world optimization problems.EA provide a valu-able alternative to traditional methods because of their inherent parallelism and their ability to deal with difficult problems that feature non-homogeneous,noisy,incom-plete and/or obscured information,constrained resources,and massive processing of large amounts of data.Tradi-tional methods based on correlation,mutual information,local optimization,and sequential processing may perform poorly.EA are inspired by the principles of natural evolu-tion and genetics.Popular EA include genetic algorithm (GA)[1],simulated annealing algorithm (SA)[2],ant1566-2535/$-see front matter Ó2007Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.inffus.2007.01.001*Corresponding author.Tel.:+852********;fax:+852********.E-mail address:xfeng@cs.hku.hk (X.Feng)./locate/inffusAvailable online at Information Fusion 9(2008)450–464colony optimization(ACO)[3],particle swarm optimiza-tion(PSO)[4],etc.,which have all been featured in either Nature or Science.In this paper,we propose the C-GPM approach as a new branch of EA,which is based on the laws of physics. Just like other EA drawing from observations of physical processes that occur in nature,the C-GPM approach is inspired by physical models of particle dynamics.Although the other existing EA have their respective advantages,they may not be able to capture the entire dynamics inherent in the problem,especially those that are high-dimensional, highly nonlinear,and random.The C-GPM approach can overcome such limitations.We develop the C-GPM approach as a physics-based evolutionary approach that can describe the complex behaviors and dynamics arising from interactions among multiple sensors.Our C-GPM algorithm,just like the other popular EA mentioned above,belongs to the class of meta-heuristics in artificial intelligence,which are approximate algorithms for obtaining good enough solutions to hard combinatorial optimization problems in a reasonable amount of compu-tation time.Similar to the other EA,the C-GPM algorithm is inher-ently parallel and can perform well in providing approxi-mating solutions to all types of problems.EA applied to the modeling of biological evolution are generally limited to explorations of micro-evolutionary processes.Some computer simulations,such as Tierra and Avida,however, attempt to model macro-evolutionary dynamics.C-GPM algorithm is an exploration of micro-evolutionary processes.In the physical world,mutual attraction between parti-cles causes motion.The reaction of a particle to thefield of potential would change the particle’s coordinates and energies.The change in the state of the particle is a result of the influence of the potential.In C-GPM,each particle is described by some differential dynamic equations,and the results of their calculations govern the movement(to a new state in thefield)of the particle.Specifically,each particle computes the combined effect of its own autono-mous self-driving force,thefield potential and the interac-tion potential.If the particles cannot eventually reach an equilibrium,they will proceed to execute a goal-satisfaction process.In summary,the relative differences between our C-GPM algorithm and other popular EA can be seen in Table1.The common features of these different approaches are listed as follows:•They draw from observations of physical processes that occur in nature.•They belong to the class of meta-heuristics,which are approximate algorithms used to obtain good enough solutions to hard combinatorial optimization problems in a reasonable amount of computation time.•They have inherent parallelism and the ability to deal with difficult problems.•They consistently perform well infinding approximating solutions to all types of problems.•They are mainly used in thefields of artificial intelligence.In this paper,we study some theoretical foundations of the C-GPM approach including the convergence of C-GPM.The structure of the paper is as follows.In Section 2,we discuss and formalize the problem model for the typ-ical multi-sensor system.In Section3,we present the evo-lutionary C-GPM approach to intelligent multi-sensor information fusion.In Section4,we describe an experiment to verify the claimed properties of the approach.We draw conclusion in Section5.2.Dynamic sensor resource allocationIn a sensor-based application with command and con-trol,a major prerequisite to the success of the command and control process is the effective use of the scarce and costly sensing resources.These resources represent an important source of information on which the command and control process bases most of its reasoning.Whenever there are insufficient resources to perform all the desired tasks,the sensor management must allocate the available sensors to those tasks that could maximize the effectiveness of the sensing process.Table1The C-GPM algorithm vs.other popular EAC-GPM GA SA ACO PSOInspired by Physical models of particledynamics NaturalevolutionThermodynamics Behaviors ofreal antsBiological

using feedback strategies.Con-sider the problem of n sensors,A ¼f A 1;...;A n g ,and m objects,T ¼f T 1;...;T m g .In order to obtain useful infor-mation about the state of each object,appropriate sensors should be assigned to various objects at the time intervals t 2f 0;1;...;T À1g .The collection of sensors applied to object k during interval t is represented by a vector X k ðt Þ¼f x 1k

physical meanings of the coordination generalized particle model (C-GPM)for sensor fusion in multi-sensor systems which involve social coordi-nations among the sensors.C-GPM treats every entry ofthe allocation-related matrix S ik as a particle,s ik ,in a force field.The problem solving process is hence transformed into one dealing with the kinematics and dynamics of par-ticles in the force field.The s ik ’s form the matrix S ik .For convenience,we let s ik represent both an entry of the matrix as well as its corresponding particle in the force field.Particle and force-field are two concepts of physics.Par-ticles in our C-GPM move not only under outside forces,but also under internal force;hence in this sense,they are somewhat different from particles in physics.As shown in Fig.1,the vertical coordinate of a particle s ik in force field F represents the utility obtained by sensor A i from being used on object T k .A particle experiences several kinds of forces simultaneously,which include the gravitational force of the force field,the pulling or pushing forces due to social coordinations among the sensors,and the particle’s own autonomous driving force.The forces on a particle are handled only along the vertical direction.Thus a particle will be driven by the resultant force of all the forces that act on it upwards or downwards along the vertical direction.The larger the upward/downward resul-tant force on a particle,the faster the upward/downward motion of the particle.When the resultant force on a par-ticle is equal to zero,the particle will stop moving,being in an equilibrium state.The upward gravitational force of the force field con-tributes an upward component of a particle’s motion,which represents the tendency that the particle pursues the collective benefit of the whole multi-sensor system.The other upward or downward components of the parti-cle’s motion,which are related to the social coordinations among the sensors,depend on the strengths and kinds of these coordinations.The pulling or pushing forces among particles make particles move to satisfy resource restric-tions,as well as reflect the social coordinations and behav-iors among the sensors.A particle’s own autonomous driving force is directly proportional to the degree the par-ticle tries to maximize its own profit (utility).This autono-mous driving force of a particle actually sets the C-GPM approach apart from the classical physical model.All the generalized particles simultaneously move in the force field,and once they have all reached their respective equilibrium positions,we have a feasible solution to the optimization problem in question.Table 2The matrix S ðt ÞSensors Objects T 1...T k...T mA 1r 11;c 11;x 11;f 11...r 1k ;c 1k ;x 1k ;f 1k ...r 1m

forces of all directions to exist.These forces can be decomposed into their horizontal and vertical components.In this present work,only the vertical component may affect a particle’s motion.In a forthcoming paper,we will introduce the mul-tiple objectives problem where we will handle particles’movements along multiple dimensions.3.2.Mathematical model of C-GPMWe define in this subsection the mathematical model of C-GPM for the sensor allocation problem that involves n sensors and m objects.Let u ik ðt Þbe the distance from the current position of particle s ik to the bottom boundary of force field F at time t ,and let J ðt Þbe the utility sum of all particles,which we define as follows:u ik ðt Þ¼a ½1Àexp ðÀc ik ðt Þr ik ðt Þx ik ðt ÞÞJ ðt Þ¼Xn i ¼1X m k ¼1u ik ðt Þð3Þwhere 0<a <1.1Àe Àx is chosen as the definition of u ik be-cause 1Àe Àx is a monotone increasing function and be-tween 0and 1(Fig.2).At time t ,the potential energy functions,P ðt Þ,which is caused by the upward gravitational force of force field F ,is defined byP ðt Þ¼ 2ln X n i ¼1X m k ¼1exp ½Àu 2ik ðt Þ=2 2 À 2ln mnð4Þwhere 0< <1.The smaller P ðt Þis,the better.With Eq.(4),we attempt to construct a potential energy function,P ðt Þ,such that the decrease of its value would imply the in-crease of the minimal utility of all the sensors.We prove it in Proposition 3.This way we can optimize the multi-sen-sor fusion problem in the sense that we consider not only the aggregate utility,but also the individual personal utili-ties,especially the minimum one.In addition, represents the strength of upward gravitational force of the force field.The bigger is,the better.If we did not get a sufficiently satisfactory result by C-GPM,we can let smaller.The gravitational force of the force field causes the par-ticles to move to increase the corresponding sensors’mini-mal personal utility,and hence to realize max–min fair allocation and increase the whole utility of the multi-sensor system.Following the literature [5–8],we divide typical social coordinations between sensor A i and sensor A j into 12pos-sible types,as in Table 3.A ijk :To avoid the harmful consequence possibly caused by A j ,A i wants to change its own current intention.B ijk :To exploit the beneficial consequence possibly caused by A j ,A i wants to change its own current intention.C ijk :To benefit A j ,A i wants to change its own current intention regardless of self-benefit.D ijk :A i tries to allure A j to modify A j ’s cur-rent intention so that A i could avoid the harmful conse-quence possibly caused by A j .E ijk :A i tries to entice A j to modify A j ’s current intention so that A i could exploit the beneficial consequence possibly caused by A j .F ijk :A i tries to tempt A j to modify A j ’s current intention so that A i might benefit from this,while A j ’s interests might be infringed.G ijk :To compete with each other,neither A i nor A j will modify their own intention,but both A i and A j might enhance their intention strengths with respect to the K th goal (or object).H ijk :Neither A i nor A j will modify their own current intention,but both A i and A j might decrease their intention strengths with respect to the K th goal.I ijk :Due to disregard of the other side,neither A i nor A j will modify their own current intention.J ijk :To harm the other side,both A i and A j try to modify their own current intentions.K ijk :Both A i and A j try to modify their own current intentions so that they could implement the intention of the other side.L ijk :Both A i and A j try to modify their current intentions so that they can do some-thing else.Of the 12types of social coordination,types A ,B ,C ,D ,E and F and F are via unilateral communication,and types G,H,I,J,K and L by bilateral communication.Based on which sensor(s)will modify their current intention,the 12types can be conveniently grouped into the four categories.For A ijk ;B ijk ;C ijk ,it is A i ;for D ijk ;E

coordi-nations among the sensors,with f ik coming from Eqs.(5) and(6).Thefirst term of QðtÞcorresponds to a penalty function with respect to the constraint on the utilization of resources.Therefore,the sensors’resource utilization can be explicitly included as optimization objectives in the multi-sensor fusion problem.The second term of QðtÞis chosen as shown because we want o Qikto be a monotone decreasing sigmoid function,as shown in Fig.3.Àf½1þexpðÀf ik u ikÞ À1À0:5g is such a function.Thereforewe let o Qo u ik equal toÀf½1þexpðÀf ik u ikÞ À1À0:5g.Then o Qo u

component of particle motion that is related to social coordinations among the sensors,•the pulling or pushing forces among the particles in order to satisfy resource restrictions,and•the particle’s own autonomous driving force.The four kinds of forces can all contribute to the parti-cles’upward movements.What is more,these forces pro-duce hybrid potential energy of the forcefield.The general
