Clean prediction of CP-violating processes psi, phi, and Gamma decay to KSKS and KLKL

The ratio of K(S)K(S) (K(L)K(L)) and K(L)K(L) production rates is calculated by considering K(0) - K(0) oscillation in J/psi --> K(0)K(0) decay. The theoretical uncertainty due to strong interaction in J/psi decay is completely canceled in the ratio; therefore, the absolute branching fractions of the CP-violating processes of J/psi --> K(S)K(S) and K(L)K(L) can be cleanly and model-independently determined in the case that J/psi K(S)K(L) decay is precisely measured. In the future tau-charm factory, the expected CP violating process of J/psi --> K(S)K(S) should be reached. It is important to measure J/psi to K(S)K(S) and K(S)K(L) decays simultaneously, so that many systematic errors will be canceled. More precise measurements are suggested to examine the predicted isospin relation in J/psi --> KK decays. All results can be extended to decays of other vector quarkonia, phi, psi(2S), and gamma(1S), etc.     

The role played by hydrogen in the ionic thermocurrents of beryl

Abstract

Ionic thermocurrents (ITC) were measured in pink (morganite) and colourless (goshenite) samples of natural beryl from 77K up to 250K at a constant rate b = 0.1 Ks^?1. The spectra present three distinct bands, at 170K, 200K and 220K. The band at 200K predominates in the untreated crystals. After thermal treatments between 700K and 1300K, the ITC bands at 170K and 220K become prominent, masking the 200K band. The reduction of Fe³⁺ into Fe²⁺ in two distinct positions in the beryl lattice justify this observation. Infrared (IR) spectra show that treatments above 1000K remove water from the channels of the beryls. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of these thermally treated samples enhance the two bands at 170K and 220K.     

强磁场下Pt电阻温度传感器的磁致电阻效应研究

以Pt电阻温度传感器(Pt-111)为研究对象,研究了其在0～16T磁场下、4.2～300K温区内的磁致电阻效应.结果表明:Pt-111在0～16T场强、4.2～77K温区内,磁效应随场强的增加和温度的降低而明显升高,77～300K温区内温度计受磁场的影响较小,其中在16T下,4.2K和300K处的磁效应分别为48.2%和1.07%;在4.2-77K温区,Pt-111由磁阻引起的测量误差场强的升高和温度的降低而明显升高,在16T、4.2K处和16T、77K处的温度测量误差分别为18.3K和1.69K.Pt-111不推荐应用在77K以下的磁场环境.

Stage II recovery of thermal neutron irradiated copper

Recovery stages at 65 K, 125 K and 220 K are discussed. The 220 K stage which seems to shift to lower temperature with increasing dose could be resolved into two substages at ～200 K and 220 K with dose dependent relative heights.     

X射线衍射分析长期钾素盈亏对土壤含钾类矿物的影响

利用1991年—2013年国家紫色土肥力与肥料效益监测站长期定位试验的土壤样品,采用X射线衍射(XRD)光谱分析技术,研究了22年长期钾素投入亏缺和盈余处理中性紫色土壤钾素含量及含钾类矿物的演变特征。XRD图谱分析发现,长期钾素亏缺处理导致土壤云母、钾长石等含钾类原生矿物加速风化,表现为连续施肥22年<连续施肥12年<原始土壤,同时促进了蒙脱石的形成;长期钾素盈余处理土壤云母、钾长石等原生矿物风化程度虽得到有效缓解,但较原始土壤相比仍有明显风化。土壤含钾类粘土矿物的演变与原生矿物变化相似,长期钾素亏缺导致土壤粘粒中伊利石发生了明显崩解,且随着施肥年限的增加,粘粒中伊利石的含量随之减少,长期钾素盈余处理明显缓解了伊利石的风化进程;但是无论是钾素亏缺或盈余处理都出现土壤中伊利石的风化崩解,同时伴随蒙脱石等膨胀型矿物的形成,现有的钾素盈余水平也不能阻止土壤含钾类矿物的风化崩解。另外,长期钾素亏缺导致土壤中速效钾和缓效钾含量逐年降低,22年分别降低62.0%和37.4%;而钾素盈余处理提高了土壤速效钾含量,但缓效钾呈现下降趋势;土壤伊利石的风化程度和土壤缓效钾的演变趋势相吻合。表明中性紫色土壤中伊利石是土壤缓效钾的主要来源,长期钾素亏缺会造成土壤钾素枯竭和含钾类矿物的加速风化崩解,降低土壤供钾能力。

Differential thermal analysis at high pressures— VIII: Phase behaviour of solid cyclopentanone,cyclopentanol, and cyclohexanone up to 3 KBAR

The phase behaviour of solid cyclopentanone, cyclopentanol, and cyclohexanone was investigated from 80 K to the melting temperature and up to 3 Kbar, using a low-temperature high-pressure differential thermal analysis apparatus. The melting temperature of cyclopentanone rises from 221.7 K at atmospheric pressure to 278 K at 2900 bar. No solid solid transition was observed. The melting temperature of cyclohexanone rises from 242.4 K at atmospheric pressure to 312 K at 2840 bar. Its well-known solid solid transition at atmospheric pressure (220.3 K) splits into two different solid solid transitions at elevated pressures. The melting temperature of cyclopentanol rises from 256 K at atmospheric pressure to 328 K at 2600 bar. Cyclopentanol exhibits two well-known solid solid transitions (236.4 K and 202.5 K at 1 atm), but an additional metastable form has been observed in the present work. the transition temperature being 195 K at 1 atm. Volume changes accompanying the phase transitions have been calculated using the Clausius Clapeyron equation.     

Branching fractions and CP asymmetries in B0-->K+ K- K0 S and B+-->K+ K0 S K0 S

We measure the branching fractions and CP asymmetries in the decays B0-->K(+)K(-)K(0)(S) and B+-->K(+)K(0)(S)K(0)(S) using a sample of approximately 122x10(6) BB pairs collected by the BABAR detector. From a time-dependent analysis of the K(+)K(-)K(0)(S) sample that excludes phiK(0)(S), the values of the CP-violation parameters are S=-0.56+/-0.25+/-0.04 and C=-0.10+/-0.19+/-0.10, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We confirm that the final state is nearly purely CP even and extract the standard model parameter sin(2beta=0.57+/-0.26+/-0.04(+0.17)(-0) where the last error is due to uncertainty on the CP content. We present the first measurement of the CP-violating charge asymmetry A(CP)(B+-->K(+)K(0)(S)K(0)(S))=-0.04+/-0.11+/-0.02. The branching fractions are B(B0-->K+K-K0)=(23.8+/-2.0+/-1.6)x10(-6) and B(B+-->K(+)K(0)(S)K(0)(S))=(10.7+/-1.2+/-1.0)x10(-6).     

Study of Exclusive Hadronic Decays for D0→Ks0π+π- and D0→Ks0K+K- and Their Resonant Structures

We report the results of an experimental study of the exclusive hadronic decays for D0→K0 sπ+π - and K 0 sK +K - and their resonant structures using BES-Ⅰ detector at the BEPC Collider. Using the data sample of 22.3 pb -1 collected at the center-of-mass energy s=4.03 GeV, we measured the branching fraction for D 0→K 0π +π - to be (5.32±0.53±0.40)%, the branching fractions for the decays D 0→ K *-π +, D 0→K 0ρ 0 and D 0→K 0(π +π -) non-resonant to be (6.05±0.32±0.49)%, (1.17±0.17±0.13)% and (1.35±0.22±0.17)%, respectively. We measured the branching fractions Br(D 0→f) to be (1.04±0.24± 0.16)% for f=K 0K +K -, (1.12±0.34±0.15)% for f=K0, and (0.27±0.13±0.03)% for f=K 0(K+K-)non-.     

Positron annihilation in the quenched and electron-irradiated NiSb intermetallic compound

Samples of the near equiatomic NiSb compound were irradiated by 3 MeV electrons at 20 K or quenched from 1103 K and 1333 K and subsequently annealed isochronally. The behaviour of defects created by quench or irradiation were studied by the positron annihilation technique. Only one recovery stage was found around 425 K for quenched specimens, but two distinct stages (100 K and 425 K) were observed after irradiation. The 425 K stage is ascribed to the migration of Ni vacancies giving dislocation loops. The recombination of mobile interstitials with vacancies after irradiation is assumed to occur between 100 K and 250 K. Doppler broadening and lifetime variations of positrons as a function of the measuring temperature in these irradiation samples are discussed.     

Observation of B+ --> K0K+ and B0 --> K0K0

We report observations of the b --> d penguin-dominated decays B+ --> K0K+ and B0 --> K0K0 in 316 fb(-1) of e+ e- collision data collected with the BABAR detector. We measure the branching fractions B(B+ --> K0K+) = (1.61+/-0.44+/-0.09) x 10(-6) and B(B0 --> K0K0 = (1.08+/-0.28+/-0.11) x 10(-6) and the CP-violating charge asymmetry A(CP)(K0K+) = 0.10+/-0.26+/-0.03. Using a vertexing technique previously employed in several analyses of all-neutral final states containing kaons, we report the first measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in B0 --> K(S)0K(S)0, obtaining S = -1.28(-0.73-0.16)(+0.80+0.11) and C = -0.40+/-0.41+/-0.06. We also report improved measurements of the branching fraction B(B+ --> K0 pi+) = (23.9+/-1.1+/-1.0) x 10(-6) and CP-violating charge asymmetry A(CP)(K0 pi+) = -0.029+/-0.039+/-0.010.     

Application of Kβ/Kα in selecting calibration standards for X-ray fluorescence analysis

A method for improving the accuracy in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis with pressed pellets was established through matching the calibration standards by the Kβ/Kα ratios. The Kβ/Kα ratios of four major elements (Al, Si, Ca, and Fe) were measured in 14 certified reference materials (CRMs) for geochemistry. The deviation of the biggest Kβ/Kα values relative to the smallest ones for the same element was from 1.52% (Si) to 20.98% (Al) when pressed pellets were used. The relative deviation of Kβ/Kα values for Ca was as high as 3.56% even for two soil CRMs (GBW07404 and GBW07408). X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the Ca elements in the two CRMs were in distinct phases, thereby leading to the different Kβ/Kα values. The Fundamental Parameter Method (FPM) results of two calibration strategies were compared. When one of the 14 CRMs was selected as unknown sample whereas the other 13 CRMs were used for calibration to determine Al₂O₃, SiO₂, CaO, and Fe₂O₃, the relative errors were 10.80%, 8.77%, 8.33%, and 10.91%, respectively. Another strategy, where only one CRM was used for calibration of samples with large errors, was adopted by matching Kβ/Kα values. The results of calibrating using CRM with similar Kβ/Kα values were more accurate than those with different Kβ/Kα values.     

浅调制下双二波混频：I.内部空间电场

互不相干的两对相干光束同进作用于一块光折变晶体，在小调制的情况下（即晶体对光强的反应是线性的）依然会了明显的空间频率为两个基频的组合的内部宽间电场分量，本文从基本的Ｋｕｋｈｔａｒｅｖ方程组出发，把电场和电子数密度直接分解为组合频率的傅里叶分量，以解析解的形式给出了空间频率分别为Ｋ１－Ｋ２，Ｋ１＋Ｋ２，２Ｋ１和２Ｋ２的电场分量，数值解表明在一定条件下这些高频和组合分量很大且不可忽视。     

Change in adsorption bond length with coverage for KAl(111)

The local bond geometry of K adsorbed on Al(111) at low temperature has been studied by photoelectron diffraction (PED) as a function of K coverage. It is found that K atoms occupy on-top sites in the coverage range 0.05-0.4 monolayer and that the KAl bond length increases by 0.17 Å over this coverage range. The reliability of this result is supported by PED studies of the (√3 × √3)R30° structures formed by adsorption of one-third monolayer Na and K at 300 K, and K at 150 K, which give results in quantitative agreement with previous structure determinations by SEXAFS and LEED.     

Luminescence spectra of doped and undoped lead tungstate crystals

TL spectra of undoped lead tungstate crystals exhibit glow peaks at 30 v K and 85 v K centred at 440 v nm, plus a peak at 50 v K at 530 v nm in an annealed sample. Annealing adds a 170 v K peak. Trivalent dopants of La 3+ and Y 3+ reduce the green luminescence, and Nb 5+ introduces a peak near 100 v K centred at 530 v nm; Sb introduces features between 40 v K and 90 v K and 150 and 180 v K. The luminescence emissions around 50 v K may be attributed to complex intrinsic defect centres, including (WO 4 ) m 3 . Of the four dopants studied in the present research, Sb +5 has the highest luminescence intensity. CL spectra show interesting anomalies near 170 v K which are linked to a phase change of water/ice nanoparticles trapped at dislocations.     

Suppressed decays of D(s)(+) mesons to two pseudoscalar mesons

Using data collected near the D{s}{*+}D{s}{-} peak production energy E_{cm}=4170 MeV by the CLEO-c detector, we study the decays of D{s}{+} mesons to two pseudoscalar mesons. We report on searches for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed D{s}{+} decay modes K{+}eta, K{+}eta', pi{+}K{S}{0}, K{+}pi{0}, and the isospin-forbidden decay mode D{s}{+}-->pi{+}pi{0}. We normalize with respect to the Cabibbo-favored D{s}{+} modes pi{+}eta, pi{+}eta', and K{+}K{S}{0}, and obtain ratios of branching fractions: B(D{s}{+}-->K{+}eta)/B(D{s}{+}-->pi{+}eta)=(8.9+/-1.5+/-0.4)%, B(D{s}{+}-->K{+}eta')/B(D{s}{+}-->pi{+}eta')=(4.2+/-1.3+/-0.3)%, B(D{s}{+}-->pi{+}K{S}{0})/B(D{s}{+}-->K{+}K{S}{0})=(8.2+/-0.9+/-0.2)%, B(D{s}{+}-->K{+}pi{0})/B(D{s}{+}-->K{+}K{S}{0})=(5.5+/-1.3+/-0.7)%, and B(D{s}{+}-->pi{+}pi{0})/B(D{s}{+}-->K{+}K{S}{0})<4.1% at 90% C.L., where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.     

Proposed search for a(0)(0)(980)-f(0)(980) mixing in polarization phenomena

The K+ and K0 meson mass difference induces the mixing of the a(0)(0)(980) and f(0)(980) resonances, the amplitude of which, between the K+K- and K0(-)K(0) thresholds, is large in magnitude, of the order of m(K)m(2)(K0)sqrt[-m(2)(K+)] approximately sqrt[alpha] m(2)(K), and possesses the phase sharply varying by about 90 degrees. We suggest performing the polarized target experiments on the reaction pi(-)p-->etapi(0)n at high energy in which the fact of the existence of a(0)(0)(980)-f(0)(980) mixing can be unambiguously and very easily established through the presence of a strong jump in the azimuthal asymmetry of the etapi(0) S wave production cross section near the K(-)K thresholds. The presented estimates of the polarization effect to be expected in experiment are to a great extent model independent.
