Search for contact interactions in the reactionse+e?→l+l? ande+e?→γγ

Contact interactions are searched for using the differential cross sections for the reactionse ⁺ e ^–e ⁺ e ^–,e ⁺ e ^–µ ⁺ µ ^–,e ⁺ e ^{– + –} ande ⁺ e ^– measured at 12 energies around theZ peak and corresponding to about 20 pb^–1 of cumulated luminosity. Four-fermion contact term models assuming various chiralities of lepton currents are fitted to the lepton data and lower limits on the energy scale of such terms are set at 95% c.l. The limits vary in the range 0.9–4.7 TeV, depending on the model and on the lepton flavour. Theee contact terms are searched for assuming various chiralities. Limits on the energy scale between 79 and 130 GeV are extracted from the data. The results are compared and combined with those reported at lower energies.Deceased     

T-Odd correlation in K+ → π0l+νγ decays beyond the standard model

The T-odd correlation in the decays K ⁺ → π ⁰ l ⁺ νγ (l = e, μ) is investigated as a function of the parameters of the effective Lagrangian. It is shown that the T-odd correlation offers a good indicator of new physics in the vector and pseudovector sectors of the model under consideration. In the scalar and pseudoscalar sectors, investigation of the T-odd correlation gives no way to improve the current limits on the parameters of various extensions of the Standard Model. __________ Translated from Yadernaya Fizika, Vol. 67, No. 5, 2004, pp. 1025–1032.

Electromagnetic structure of W± bosons in the e–e+ → W+W– reaction

A model-independent analysis of anomalous gauge coupling constants of W ^± bosons is presented and the corresponding restrictions on them and on the electromagnetic characteristics of W ^± bosons following from the experiments on measuring the e⁺ e^- ? W⁺ W^- ? ( e

K+→π+π0e+e?: a novel short-distance probe

We study the decay K ⁺→π ⁺ π ⁰ e ⁺ e ⁻, currently under analysis by the NA62 Collaboration at CERN. In particular, we provide a detailed analysis of the Dalitz plot for the long-distance, γ ^∗-mediated, contributions (Bremsstrahlung, direct emission and its interference). We also examine a set of asymmetries to isolate genuine short-distance effects. While we show that charge asymmetries are not required to test short distances, they provide the best environment for its detection. This constitutes by itself a strong motivation for NA62 to study K ⁻ decays in the future. We therefore provide a detailed study of different charge asymmetries and the corresponding estimated signals. Whenever possible, we make contact with the related processes K ⁺→π ⁺ π ⁰ γ and K _L →π ⁺ π ⁻ e ⁺ e ⁻ and discuss the advantages of K ⁺→π ⁺ π ⁰ e ⁺ e ⁻ over them.     

π+π+ and π+π? Colliding in Noncommutative Space

By studying the scattering process of scalar particle pion on the noncommutative scalar quantum electrodynamics, the non-commutative amendment of differential scattering cross-section is found, which is dependent of polar-angle and the results are significantly different from that in the commutative scalar quantum electrodynamics, particularly when cosθ∼±1. The non-commutativity of space is expected to be explored at around Λ_NC∼TeV.     

Power corrections in e+e?→π+π?,K+K? and B→Kπ,ππ

CLEO-c measurements of the timelike form factors F _π , F _K at ?s=3.671\sqrt{s}=3.671 GeV provide a direct probe of power corrections (PC’s) at energies near m _B . PC’s in F _π,K and B→Kπ,ππ are separated into perturbative and soft parts. In F _π,K the latter are ≥O(10) larger. A PC fit to the B→Kπ,ππ data also yields a ≥O(10) soft-to-perturbative hierarchy for the QCD penguin PC’s. Hence, both can be attributed to dominance of the soft-overlap between energetic (approximately) back-to-back collinear partons, and consistency of the B→Kπ,ππ fit with the Standard Model appears to be naturally realized. The CP asymmetries S_{Ks p⁰}S_{K_{s} \pi^{0}}, C_{Ks p⁰}C_{K_{s} \pi^{0}} are well determined, providing a clean test for new physics.

Electron-impact excitation of the S°, P°, and D° doublet levels of cobalt atoms

The excitation of transitions from the ² S ^∘, ² P ^∘, and ² D ^∘ levels of the cobalt atom is studied by the method of extended crossing beams. Seventy-six excitation cross sections are measured at an exciting electron energy of 50 eV. Nine optical excitation functions are recorded in the electron energy region of 0–200 eV. Possible channels of excitation of levels under study are discussed.     

Measurement of the photon structure functionF2γ in the reactione+e?→e+e?+hadrons at LEP

We present measurements of the hadronic photon structure functionF ₂ (x), in twoQ ² ranges with mean values of 5.9 GeV² and 14.7 GeV². The data were taken by the OPAL experiment at LEP, with close to theZ ⁰ mass and correspond to an integratede ⁺ e ^– luminosity of 44.8 pb^–1. In the context of a QCD-based model we find the quark transverse momentum cutoff separating the vector meson dominance (VMD) and perturbative QCD regions to be 0.27±0.10 GeV. We confirm that there is a significant pointlike component of the photon when the probe photon hasQ ²>4 GeV². Our measurements extend to lower values ofx than any previous experiment, and no increase ofF ₂ (x) is observed.     

Electromagnetic decays of radially excited mesons π0′, ρ0′, ω0′, and production of π0′ at lepton colliders

Radiative decays π ⁰(π ^0′) → γ + γ, π ^0′ → ρ ⁰(ω) + γ, ρ ^0′(ω′) → π ⁰ + γ, ρ ^0′(ω′) → π ^0′ + γ, and some processes of π ^0′ production at lepton colliders are considered in the framework of the nonlocal SU(2) × SU(2) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. Mixing of the radially excited and the ground meson states is taken into account. Numerical results for the decay and production processes are presented.     

Novel insights into the γγ?→π0 transition form factor

BaBar’s observation of significant deviations of the pion transition form factor (TFF) from the asymptotic expectation with Q ²>9 GeV² has brought about a serious crisis to the fundamental picture established for such a simple q[`(q)]q\bar{q} system by perturbative QCD, i.e. the dominance of collinear factorization at high momentum transfers for the pion TFF. We show that non-factorizable contributions due to open flavors in γγ ^∗→π ⁰ could be an important source that contaminates the pQCD asymptotic limit and causes such deviations with Q ²>9 GeV². Within an effective Lagrangian approach, the non-factorizable amplitudes can be related to intermediate hadron loops, i.e. K ^(∗) and D ^(∗) etc., and their corrections to the π ⁰ and η TFFs can be estimated.     

D?→Dπ and D?→Dγ decays: axial coupling and magnetic moment of D? meson

The axial coupling and the magnetic moment of D ^∗-meson or, more specifically, the couplings g_D^*Dpg_{D^{\ast}D\pi} and g_D^*Dgg_{D^{\ast}D\gamma }, encode the non-perturbative QCD effects describing the decays D ^∗→Dπ and D ^∗→Dγ. We compute these quantities by means of lattice QCD with N _f=2 dynamical quarks, by employing the Wilson (“clover”) action. On our finer lattice (a≈0.065 fm) we obtain g_D^*Dp⁺=20±2g_{D^{\ast}D\pi^{+}}=20\pm2, and g_{D^*0 D⁰g}=2.0±0.6 GeV^-1g_{D^{\ast0} D^{0}\gamma}=2.0\pm 0.6~{\rm GeV}^{-1}. This is the first determination of g_{D^*0 D⁰g}g_{D^{\ast0} D^{0}\gamma} on the lattice. We also provide a short phenomenological discussion and the comparison of our result with experiment and with the results quoted in the literature.     

Bs0 → μ+μ? in LHCb

Due to its sensitivity to New Physics contributions, the branching ratio of the very rare decay B _s ⁰ → μ ⁺ μ ⁻ is one of the most interesting measurements using the first data from the LHC accelerator. The analysis strategy for the study of this channel in the LHCb experiment is presented, as well as a review of the potential of the experiment in such study, using the latest simulations. With four months of nominal data taking, any enhancement from the Standard Model prediction can be excluded.     

Calculation of spectroscopic constants and radiative parameters for A1Σ u+ -X1Σ g+ and B1Πu-X1Σ g+ electronic transitions of sodium dimer

Vibrational, rotational, and centrifugal spectroscopic constants and radiative parameters, i.e., the Einstein coefficients, oscillator strengths, and wave numbers for vibrational transitions in electronic systems of bands A ¹Σ _u ⁺-X ¹Σ _g ⁺ (0 ≤ v′ ≤ 25; 0 ≤ v″ ≤ 44), B ¹Π _u -X ¹Σ _g ⁺ (0 ≤ v′ ≤ 29; 0 ≤ v″ ≤ 47), and the radiative lifetimes for the vibrational levels of excited states of the sodium dimer, are calculated. The calculations are carried out based on semiempirical potential curves constructed in this study. The calculated spectroscopic constants and radiative lifetimes are compared to the experimental values.     

A measurement ofB meson production and lifetime usingDl? events inZ0 decays

A study ofB meson decays intoDl X final states is presented. In these events, neutral and chargedD mesons originate predominantly fromB ⁺ andB ⁰ decays, respectively. The dilution of this correlation due toD ^** production has been taken into account. From 263 700 hadronicZ ⁰ decays collected in 1991 with the DELPHI detector at the LEP collider, 92D ⁰K ^-+, 35D ⁺K ^-++ and 61D ^*0D ⁰⁺ followed byD ⁰K ^-+ orD ⁰K ^-++-, are found with an associated lepton of the same charge as the kaon. From theD ⁰ l ^- andD ^*+ l ^-, the probabilityf _d that ab quark hadronizes into aB ^– (or ) meson is found to be 0.44 ±0.08±0.09, corresponding to a total (B _s+ _b ) hadronization fraction of 0.12 _–0.12 ^+0.24 . By reconstructing the energy of eachB meson, theb quark fragmentation is directly measured for the first time. The mean value of theB meson energy fraction is:

Hamiltonian Structures on Coadjoint Orbits of Semidirect Product G = Diff+(S1) ? < C∞(S1, ?)

We consider the semidirect product of diffeomorphisms of the circle D=Diff₊(S ¹) and C (S ¹, ) functions, classify its coadjoint orbits and treat dynamical systems, related to corresponding Lie algebra centrally extended by the Kac-Moody, Virasoro and semidirect product cocycles with arbitrary coefficients. The three-Hamiltonian (in the case of the generalized DWW-type models) and bi-Hamiltonian (for KdV-type models) structures are found and used in the proof of their complete integrability.     

Scalar mesons in the decays η′ → 3π0 and η′ → π0π+π?

The decays η → 3π ⁰ and η → π ⁰ π ⁺ π ⁻ are considered within the isobar model. It is shown that, in order to explain the branching ratio and the shape of the Dalitz plot for the decay η′ → 3π ⁰, it is sufficient to take into account the contributions of the σ and a ₀ mesons. The inclusion of the σ meson is necessary for reproducing the shape of the distribution over the Dalitz plot. The branching ratio for the decay η′ → π ⁰ π ⁺ π ⁻ is obtained. The predictions for the distributions over the Dalitz plot for this decay are presented. These predictions depend strongly on model parameters.     

ω(→ π+π?π0) meson photoproduction on proton

The cross-section for the π ⁺ π ⁻ π ⁰ invariant mass distribution in the γp reaction in the GeV region is calculated. This reaction is assumed to proceed through the formation of the ω-meson in the intermediate state, because the production cross-section for this meson in the γp reaction in the GeV region is significant and it has a large branching ratio (88.8%) in the π ⁺ π ⁻ π ⁰ channel. The cross-sections for this reaction are calculated using the energy-dependent reaction amplitude, f _γp→ωp(0), extracted from the latest ω-meson photoproduction data. We use established procedure to calculate other factors, like width and propagator of the ω-meson, so that our calculation can provide reliable cross-section. The calculated results reproduce the measured π ⁺ π ⁻ π ⁰ invariant mass distribution spectra in the γp reaction.     

Associated production of light gravitinos in e+e? and e?γ collisions

Light gravitino productions in association with a neutralino (selectron) in e ⁺ e ⁻ (e ⁻ γ) collisions are restudied in a scenario that the lightest supersymmetric particle is a gravitino and the produced neutralino (selectron) promptly decays into a photon (electron) and a gravitino. We explicitly give the helicity amplitudes for the production processes by using the effective goldstino interaction Lagrangian, and present the cross sections with different collision energies and mass spectra. We also examine selection efficiencies by kinematical cuts and beam polarizations for the signal and background processes, and show that the energy and angular distributions of the photon (electron) can explore the mass of the t-channel exchange particle as well as the mass of the decaying particle at a future e ⁺ e ⁻ (e ⁻ γ) collider.
