D^0-D^0 mixing and other charm decays at Belle

The D^0-D^0 mixing at Belle in different modes with corresponding methods is reported in this paper, there is a clear evidence for non-zero y D^0 mixing parameter, and the measurement of D^0 mixing parameter x is still a challenge. CP violation in the decays is not observed. Branching fractions of other charm decays are presented.     

Binding Energy of D^- and D^0 Centers Confined by Spherical Quantum Dots

We study a negative donor center, a neutral donor in a spherical Gaussian potential quantum dot by using the matrix diagonalization of Hamiltonian within the effective-mass approximation. We calculate the energy E（ D^-） as functions of Gaussian potential size and depth, the same calculations as performed with the parabolic approximation. The dependence of the ground state of the neutral shallow donor and the negatively charged donor on the dot size and the potential depth is investigated.     

B~0-B~0 Mixing in Local Gauged Baryon and Lepton Numbers

Using the effective Hamiltonian method, we analyze the B0-B0 mixing in the extension of the standard model （SM） where baryon number and lepton number are local gauge symmetries. The numerical results indicate the correction from the extra particles to the mass difference ArnB is significant. There is a 60% enhancement compared to the SM prediction for AraB at most, which agrees with the current experimental result.     

Constraints of unparticle physics parameters from K^0-^-K^0 mixing

The neutral kaon meson mixing plays an important role in the test of the Standard Model （SM） and new physics beyond it. Scale invariant unparticle physics induces a flavor changing neutral current （FCNC） transition of m K^0-^-K^0 oscillation at the tree level. In this study, we investigate the scale invariant unparticle physics effects on the m K^0-^-K^0 mixing. Based on the current experimental data, we give constraints of m K0-K0 mixing on the unparticle parameters.     

Image reconstruction from few views by l_0-norm optimization

In the medical computer tomography(CT) field, total variation(TV), which is the ?1-norm of the discrete gradient transform(DGT), is widely used as regularization based on the compressive sensing(CS) theory. To overcome the TV model’s disadvantageous tendency of uniformly penalizing the image gradient and over smoothing the low-contrast structures, an iterative algorithm based on the ?0-norm optimization of the DGT is proposed. In order to rise to the challenges introduced by the ?0-norm DGT, the algorithm uses a pseudo-inverse transform of DGT and adapts an iterative hard thresholding(IHT) algorithm, whose convergence and effective efficiency have been theoretically proven. The simulation demonstrates our conclusions and indicates that the algorithm proposed in this paper can obviously improve the reconstruction quality.     

B→K0^＊（1430）K Decays in Perturbative QCD Approach

In this article, we calculate the branching ratios of B→K0^＊ （1430）K decays by employing the pertur-bative QCD （pQCD） approach at leading order. We perform the evaluations in the two scenarios for the scalar meson spectrum. We find that （i） The leading order pQCD predictions for the branching ratio Br（B^＋→K^＋K0^＊（1430）^0）are in good agreement with the experimental upper limit in both scenarios, while the pQCD predictions for other considered B→K0^＊（1430）K decay modes are also presented and will be tested by the LHC experiments; （ii） The annihilation contributions play an important role in these considered decays, for B^0→K0^＊（1430）^±K^± decays,for example,which are found to be （1-4）×10^-6.     

SUSY QCD Impact on Top-Pair Production Associated with a Z^0-Boson at a Photon-Photon Collider

The top-pair production in association with a Z^0-boson at a photon-photon collider is an important process in probing the coupling between top-quarks and vector boson and discovering the signature of possible new physics. We describe the impact of the complete supersymmetric QCD （SQCD） next-to-leading order （NLO） radiative corrections on this process at a polarized or unpolarized photon collider, and make a comparison between the effects of the SQCD and the standard model （SM） QCD. We investigate the dependence of the lowest-order （LO） and QCD NLO corrected cross sections in both the SM and minimal supersymmetric standard model （MSSM） on colliding energy √s in different polarized photon collision modes. The LO, SM NLO, and SQCD NLO corrected distributions of the invariant mass of tt^--pair and the transverse momenta of final Z^0-boson are presented. Our numerical results show that the pure SQCD effects in γγ →tt^- Z^0 process can be more significant in the ＋＋ polarized photon collision mode than in other collision modes, and the relative SQCD radiative correction in unpolarized photon collision mode varies from 32.09% to -1.89% when √s goes up from 500 GeV to 1.5 TeV.     

Uncertainty and Certainty Relations for Pauli Observables in Terms of Renyi Entropies of Order α∈ （0; 1]

We obtain uncertainty and certainty relations of state-independent form for the three Paufi observables with use of the Renyi entropies of order α∈ （0; 1]. It is shown that these entropic bounds are tight in the sense that they are always reached with certain pure states. A new result is the condition for equality in Renyi-entropy uncertainty relations for the Pauli observables. Upper entropic bounds in the pure-state case are also novel. Combining the presented bounds leads to a band, in which the rescaled average Renyi a-entropy ranges for a pure measured state. A width of this band is compared with the Tsallis formulation derived previously.     

Partial wave analysis of ψ＇ →γχc0→γpK-Λ used for searching for baryon resonance

Abundant ψ＇ events have been collected at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider-Ⅱ （BEPCⅡ） that could undoubtedly provide us with a great opportunity to study the more attractive charmonium decays. As has been noticed before, in the process of J/ψ＇ decaying to the baryonic final states, pK-Λ, the evident Λ＊ and N＊ bands have been observed. Similarly, by using the product of χcJ from ψ＇ radiative decay, we may confirm this or find some extra new resonances. χc0＇s data samples will be more than χc1,2, taking into account the larger branching ratio of ψ＇ →γχc0. Here, we provide explicit partial wave analysis formulae for the very interesting channel ψ＇ →γχc0 →γpK-Λ.     

NLO Corrections of HTC∏^0 and ∏＋∏- Pair Production at ILC in TC2 Model

As well known, if the Higgs boson were not observed at LHC, the technicolor model would be the most favorable candidate responsible for the symmetry breaking. To overcome some defects in the previous model, some extended versions have been proposed. In the TC2 model typical signature is existence of heavy HTC and technipion ∏. A direct proof of validity of the model is to produce them at accelerator. Thus we study the production rates of e＋e^- → HTC∏^0 and e＋e^- → ∏＋∏- at ILC in the topcolor-assisted technicolor （TC2） model. In fact, there is a flood of models belonging to new physics, which can result in products with characteristics similar to HTC ＋ ∏ of the TC2 model. Therefore to distinguish this model from others one may need to investigate some details by calculating the cross section to NLO. We indeed find that the NLO corrections are significant, namely the ratio δ ≡（ σNLO - σLO）/σLO in e＋e- →HTC∏^0 exceeds 100% within a plausible parameter space.     

Searching for Flavor-Changing Neutral-Current Signals via e＋e-（γγ） →tcht0 in Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor Model

In the context of the top-color-assisted technicolor （TC2） model, the flavor-changing neutral-current （FCNC） interaction induced by the top-higgs （hOt） are predicted at tree level. We study the relevant processes of e＋e-（γγ）→tcht0 at the International Linear Collider （ILC）. It is found that these rare processes production rates can be enhanced significantly in the TC2 model. Especially for the process γγ→tcht0, the total cross section will reach a few fb in the reasonable parameter space. We also calculate the distributions of transverse momenta, pseudo-rapid and invariant mass of the top-higgs. In view of the main decay modes of top-higgs for mho 〈 2mr, we find that there will be several hundreds FCNC events produced at the ILC with annually integral luminosity of 500 fb-1. Due to the clean background, such FCNC signals can possibly be detected at the ILC.     

Transport properties and anomalous fatigue effect of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures

The transport properties and fatigue effect of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures are described. By examining the I-V curves, an anomalous fatigue effect was found and its influences on resistive states were studied. I-V curves combined with C-f spectra were used to directly analyze the transport properties and fatigue effect. Compared to the first I-V cycle state, this structure shows more than one order increase of resistance after 100 cycles of ＂I-V curve training＂. The redistribution of oxygen vacancies in the depletion layer of Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3 is believed to be responsible for the different resistance mechanisms and tenfold magnitude drop in resistance. The resistive switching is understood to be caused by electric field-induced carrier trapping and detrapping, which changes the depletion layer thickness at the Ag/Bi0.9La0.lFeO3 interface.     

The nonlinear optical properties of a magneto-exciton in a strained Ga0.2In0.sAs/GaAs quantum dot

The magnetic field-dependent heavy hole excitonic states in a strained Gao.2Ino.sAs/GaAs quantum dot are investi- gated by taking into account the anisotropy, non-parabolicity of the conduction band, and the geometrical confinement. The strained quantum dot is considered as a parabolic dot of InAs embedded in a GaAs barrier material. The dependence of the effective excitonic g-factor as a function of dot radius and the magnetic field strength is numerically measured. The interband optical transition energy as a function of geometrical confinement is computed in the presence of a mag- netic field. The magnetic field-dependent oscillator strength of interband transition under the geometrical confinement is studied. The exchange enhancements as a function of dot radius are observed for various magnetic field strengths in a strained Gao.2Ino.sAs/GaAs quantum dot. Heavy hole excitonic absorption spectra, the changes in refractive index, and the third-order susceptibility of third-order harmonic generation are investigated in the Gao.2Ino.8As/GaAs quantum dot. The result shows that the effect of magnetic field strength is more strongly dependent on the nonlinear optical property in a low-dimensional semiconductor system.     

Effects of ultra-strong magnetic field on electron capture rates of 55C0 and 56Ni in the magnetar surrounding

The electron capture rates of 55Co and 56Ni in the ultra-strong magnetic field at four typical temperature- density points have been calculated using the nuclear shell model and Landan energy levels quantized approximate correction. The results show that the electron capture rates of 55Co and 56Ni are increased greatly in the ultra-strong magnetic field, and even exceed two orders of magnitude in the range from 4.414×10^13G to 2.207×10^27 G. The change rate of electron abundance, ye, of 55Co and 56Ni under the condition of B=4.414×10^15G in the magnetar surrounding has been calculated and discussed, the proportions of ye of 55Co and 56Ni in the total Ye have been reduced by 50 percent in all more than the condition without a magnetic field.     

Analysis of directCP violation in B^- \to D^0 D_s^-, D^0 D^- decays

We show that the semi-leptonic decay can be used as a source of information for two-pion distribution amplitudes. The connection between these amplitudes and the B-meson decay width is achieved by the light cone sum rule method. We show the relevant distribution amplitudes and give the formula for the decay width. Received: 11 April 2001 / Published online: 19 July 2001     

How learn the branching ratio X(3872) \to D*^0 \bar D^0 + c.c.

Enfant terrible of charmonium spectroscopy, the resonance X(3872), generated a stream of interpretations and ushered in a new exotic XYZ spectroscopy. In the meantime, many (if not all) characteristics of X(3872) are rather ambiguous. We construct spectra of decays of the resonance X(3872) with good analytical and unitary properties which allows to define the branching ratio of the \(X(3872) \to D*^0 \bar D^0 + c.c.\) decay studying only one more decay, for example, the X(3872) → π⁺π^? J/ψ(1S) decay. We next define the range of values of the coupling constant of the X(3872) resonance with the \(X(3872) \to D*^0 \bar D^0 + c.c.\) system. Finally, we show that our spectra are effective means of selection of models for the resonance X(3872).     

Experimental study of the time-dependent rate of K → πππ

The time-dependence of the decay rate of initially pure K⁰ into the final state (π⁺π⁻π⁰) has been studied in search for the decay k_S⁰→π⁺π⁻π⁰. No evidence is found in a sample of 384 observed events. The ratio of the CP -violating K_S⁰ amplitude and the K_L⁰ amplitude is η₊₋₀ = (0.13_−0.20^+0.17) + i(0.17_−0.26^+0.27); the ratio of the CP-conserving K_S⁰ amplitude and the K_L⁰ amplitude is < 0.4. The energy dependence of the K⁰→π⁺π⁻π⁰ matrix element is found to be a₊₋₀ = −0.31 ± 0.03.     

Observation of a new DsJ meson in B+-->D0D0K+ decays

We report the observation of a new DsJ meson produced in B+-->D0DsJ-->D0D0K+. This state has a mass of M=2708+/-9(-10)(+11) MeV/c2, a width Gamma=108+/-23(-31)(+36) MeV/c2 and a 1- spin-parity. The statistical significance of this observation is 8.4 sigma. The results are based on an analysis of 449 x 10(6) BB events collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.     

Search for narrow NNπ resonances in exclusive pp→ppππ measurements

Narrow structures in the range of a few MeV have been searched for in ppπ⁺ and ppπ⁻ invariant mass spectra (M_ppπ⁺ and M_ppπ⁻) obtained from exclusive measurements of the pp→ppπ⁺π⁻ reaction at T_p=725,750 and 775 MeV using the PROMICE/WASA detector at CELSIUS. The selected reaction is particularly well suited for the search for dibaryon resonances decoupled from NN and/or NΔ. In the mass range 2020 MeV/c²<m_dibaryon<2085 MeV/c² no narrow structures could be identified on the 3σ level of statistical significance neither in M_ppπ⁻ nor in M_ppπ⁺ giving an upper limit (95% C.L.) for dibaryon production in this reaction of σ<20 nb.     

Measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in the decay B0-->K+K-K0

We analyze the decay B0-->K+K-K0 using 383 x 10(6) BB events collected by the BABAR detector at SLAC to extract CP violation parameter values over the Dalitz plot. Combining all K+K-K0 events, we find ACP=-0.015+/-0.077+/-0.053 and beta eff = 0.352+/-0.076+/-0.026 rad, corresponding to a CP violation significance of 4.8 sigma. A second solution near pi/2-beta eff is disfavored with a significance of 4.5 sigma. We also report ACP and beta eff separately for decays to phi(1020)K0, f0(980)K0, and K+K-K0 with mK+K- > 1.1 GeV/c2.
