DBHF approach and thermodynamic consistency for nuclear matter calculations

Within the framework of Dirac Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) approach, we calculate the energy per nucleon, the pressure, the nucleon self-energy, and the single-nucleon energy in the nuclear matter by adopting two different covariant representations for T-matrix. We mainly investigate the influence of different covariant representations on the satisfiable extent of the Hugenholtz-Van Hove (HVH) theorem in the nuclear medium in the framework of DBHF. By adopting the two different covariant representations of T-matrix, the predicted nucleon self-energy shows a quite different momentum and density dependence. Different covariant representations affect remarkably the satisfiable extent of the HVH theorem. By adopting the complete pseudo-vector representation of the T-matrix, HVH theorem is largely violated, which is in agreement with the result in the non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach and reflects the importance of ground state correlations for single nucleon properties in nuclear medium, whereas by using the pseudoscalar representation, the ground state correlation cannot be shown. It indicates that the complete pseudo-vector presentation is more feasible than the pseudo-scalar one.

DBHF方法和核物质的性质

基于Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock（DBHF）方法的输入量是由NN散射和氘核数据确定的自由NN势，没有可调参数，这样可自洽地求解核物质的性质；同时，它给出的核物质的饱和性质（核物质的饱和能量和饱和密度）明显符合经验值。在论文的第一部分中，我们采用DBHF方法来计算研究了核物质性质的一系列物理量在核介质中的变化行为以及不同的T矩阵协变表示对这种行为的影响，譬如核物质中的自能，单粒子能量，核状态方程以及核物质的热力学自洽性等。同时从DBHF方法中给出的两核子的有效相互作用T矩阵出发，我们可以直接得出介质中核子-核子反应的总截面和微分截面，作为输运理论输入量的介质中的截面，对重离子碰撞中的各物理量有重要影响。论文的第二部分是计算研究同位旋非对称核物质的性质。作为通向研究有限核的一个中间过程，非对称核物质的研究对丰中子核物理以及核天体物理具有重要的意义。我们首先将对称的DBHF方法推广到非对称的情况，然后基于非对称的DBHF方法计算研究非对称核物质的性质，特别是不同定义的非相对论有效质量和Dirac有效质量在非对称核物质中的劈裂效应

Influence of two different representations of the G-matrix to the in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections

We calculate the in-medium nucleon-nucleon scattering cross sections from the G-matrix using the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) approach. And we investigate the influence of the different representations of the G-matrix to the cross sections, the difference of which is mainly from the different effective masses.

Task profiling : A task-Based approach to measuring the integration of ICT in the classroom

The measurement of ICT (information and communication technology) integration is emerging as an area of research interest with such systems as Education Queensland including it in their recently released list of research priorities. Studies to trial differing integration measurement instruments have taken place within Australia in the last few years, particularly Western Australia (Trinidad, Clarkson, & Newhouse, 2004; Trinidad, Newhouse & Clarkson, 2005), Tasmania (Fitzallen 2005) and Queensland (Finger, Proctor, & Watson, 2005). This paper will add to these investigations by describing an alternate and original methodological approach which was trialled in a small-scale pilot study conducted jointly by Queensland Catholic Education Commission (QCEC) and the Centre of Learning Innovation, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in late 2005. The methodology described is based on tasks which, through a process of profiling, can be seen to be artefacts which embody the internal and external factors enabling and constraining ICT integration.
