Experimental Sensitivities on Searching for Rare and Forbidden Decays of Charm Mesons at BES-III

We discuss the Monte Carlo studies of searching for the rare and forbidden pure-leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of D^+,0 and D⁺_s mesons, based on a full Monte Carlo simulation for the BES-III detector, with the BES-III Offline Software System. The experimental sensitivities of searching for 36 rare and forbidden charm meson decays are estimated.     

Radial profile of bottom quarks in jets in high-energy nuclear collisions

Angular correlations between a heavy quark(HQ) and its tagged jet are potentially new tools to gain insight into the in-medium partonic interactions in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.In this work,we present the first theoretical study on the radial profiles of B mesons in jets in Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC).The initial production of a bottom quark tagged jet in p+p is computed by SHERPA,which matches the next-toleading order matrix elements with contributions of parton showers,whereas the massive quark traversing the quarkgluon plasma is described by a Monte Carlo model,SHELL,which can simultaneously simulate light and heavy flavor in-medium energy loss within the framework of Langevin evolution.In p+p collisions,we find that at lower p_T~Q the radial profiles of heavy flavors in jets are sensitive to the heavy quark mass.In 0-10% Pb+Pb collisions at S_(NN)~(1/2)=5.02 TeV,we observe an inverse modification pattern of the B meson radial profiles in jets at 4 p_T~Q 20 GeV compared to those of D mesons:the jet quenching effects narrow the jet radial profiles of B mesons in jets while broadening those of D mesons in jets.We find that in A+A collisions,the contribution dissipated from the higher p_T~Q 20 GeV region naturally has a narrower initial distribution and consequently leads to a narrower modification pattern of the radial profile;however the diffusion nature of the heavy flavor in-medium interactions will give rise to a broader modification pattern of the radial profile.These two effects consequently compete and offset with each other,and the b quarks in jets benefit more from the former and suffer less diffusion effect compared to that of c quarks in jets.These findings can be tested in the future experimental measurements at the LHC to gain better understanding of the mass effect of jet quenching.     

Photon and light meson production in hadronic Z^0decays

The inclusive production rates and differential cross-sections of photons and mesons with a final state containing photons have been measured with the OPAL detector at LEP. The light mesons covered by the measurements are the , , , , and a. The particle multiplicities per hadronic Zdecay, extrapolated to the full energy range, are: where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. In general, the results are in agreement with the predictions of the JETSET and HERWIG Monte Carlo models. Received: 9 April 1998 / Published online: 12 August 1998     

Meson polarized distribution function and mass dependence of the nucleon parton densities

The polarized distribution functions of mesons,including pion,kaon and eta,using the proton structure function,are calculated.We are looking for a relationship between the polarized distribution of mesons and the polarized structure of nucleons.We show that the meson polarized parton distributions leads to zero total spin for the concerned mesons,considering the orbital angular momentum of quarks and gluons inside the meson.Two separate Monte Carlo algorithms are applied to compute the polarized parton distributions of the kaon.Via the mass dependence of quark distributions,the distribution function of the eta meson is obtained.A new method by which the polarized sea quark distributions of protons are evolved separately-which cannot be performed easily using the standard solution of DGLAP equations-is introduced.The mass dependence of these distributions is obtained,using the renormalization group equation which makes their evolutions more precise.Comparison between the evolved distributions and the available experimental data validates the suggested solutions for separated evolutions.     

Determination of /Vub/ from measurements of the inclusive charmless semileptonic partial rates of B mesons using full reconstruction tags

We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element /Vub/, based on 253 fb(-1) of data collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+ e- asymmetric collider. Events are tagged by fully reconstructing one of the B mesons, produced in pairs from Gamma(4S). The signal for b --> u semileptonic decay is distinguished from the b --> c background using the hadronic mass Mx, the leptonic invariant mass squared q2 and the variable P+ [triple bond] Ex - /px/. The results are obtained for events with p(l)* > or = 1 GeV/c, in three kinematic regions (1) Mx < 1.7 GeV/c2, (2) Mx < 1.7 GeV/c2 combined with q2 > 8 GeV2/c2, and by (3) P+ < 0.66 GeV/c. The matrix element /Vub/ is found to be (4.09 +/- 0.19 +/- 0.20(+0.14) -0.15 +/- 0.18) x 10(-3), where the errors are statistical, systematic including Monte Carlo modeling, theoretical, and from shape function parameter determination, respectively.     

Anisotropic emission of charged mesons and structure characteristic of emission source in heavy ion collisions at 1-2A GeV

Angular distributions of pious and kaons produced in heavy ion collisions at the low-energy end of high energies （1-2 A GeV） have been investigated by using a multisource ideal gas model. The model covers the expansions and movements of the emission sources, and it is related to the collective flows. By using the analytic expression and the Monte Carlo method, the azimuthal and polar angle distributions of mesons are calculated by the model and compared with the experimental data of the KaoS Collaboration.     

Monte Carlo investigation of the phase transition in the 2D Potts model with open boundary conditions

Finite size effects on the phase transition in the 2D Potts model with open boundary conditions are studied with Wang-Landau Monte Carlo simulations. We show the lattice size dependent cross-over from first order to continuous phase transition and discuss it in terms of surface induced disorder and size dependence of the latent heat.     

Experimental sensitivity on searching for CP violation at BES-III

The CP violation in the D system is predicted to be an unobserved level in the Standard Model. In this paper, we describe the method of searching for CP violation decay processes with the coherently produced D00 mesons from the ψ(3770) decay. The CP violation decay processes can be searched for at the BES-III experiment. The experimental sensitivity for searching for the CP violation can reach about a 10-4 level with a ψ(3770) data sample of about 20 fb-1.     

Simulation Study on the Splitting Effect of Transverse Mass Spectra in p+p Collisions at √S=200GeV Using PYTHIA

In proton-proton (p+p) collisions at √S=200GeV, it is found that the previously observed universal shape of transverse mass spectra of hadron production seems to break down into two species of baryons and mesons at higher transverse mass region. In order to understand the underlying physics mechanism, a Monte Carlo study is done using the PYTHIA event generator. The simulation results demonstrate that this difference exists not only within string fragmentation scheme but also within independent fragmentation scheme, and comes primarily from gluon jets within string fragmentation scheme at RHIC energy. The new introduced physics mechanisms in PYTHIA version6.3 indicate that the complicated string junction may contribute to this splitting effect between mesons and baryons.     

Strangeness production in the Dual Parton model

Production of strange mesons and baryons is studied in a Monte Carlo Dual Parton model for hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions with standard strangeness suppression in the chain fragmentation and enhanced strangeness (up to a SU(3) symmetric sea) at the sea chain ends. Additionally, production from the sea has been introduced into the chain formation process with the same probability as for the q→qq branching within the chain fragmentation. Rapidity distributions and multiplicity ratios are in reasonable agreement with recent experimental data.     

Monte Carlo Simulation of Optical Properties of Wake Bubbles

Based on Mie scattering theory and the theory of multiple light scattering, the light scattering properties of air bubbles in a wake are analysed by Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that backscattering is enhanced obviously due to the existence of bubbles, especially with the increase of bubble density, and that it is feasible to use the Monte Carlo method to study the properties of light scattering by air bubbles.

Heavy flavour hadron spectroscopy: An overview

A comprehensive overview and some of the theoretical attempts towards understanding heavy flavour hadron spectroscopy are presented. Apart from the conventional quark structure (quark, antiquarks structure for the mesons and three-quarks structure of baryons) of hadrons, multiquark hadrons the hadron molecular states etc., also will be reviewed. Various issues and challenges in understanding the physics and dynamics of the quarks at the hadronic dimensions are highlighted. Looking into the present and future experimental prospects at different heavy flavour laboratories like BES-III, CLEO-c, BaBar, Belle, LHC etc., the scope for theoretical extensions of the present knowledge of heavy flavour physics would be very demanding. In this context, many relevant contributions from the forthcoming PANDA Facility are expected. Scopes and outlook of the hadron physics at the heavy flavour sector in view of the future experimental facilities are highlighted.     

Differences between fixed time step and kinetic Monte Carlo methods for biased diffusion

We consider biased diffusion in a one-dimensional lattice and compare results obtained with fixed time step and kinetic Monte Carlo methods. Spurious dispersion and particle position correlation appear with the fixed time step Monte Carlo approach. The mentioned correlation increases with time. We demonstrate that the correct results, that correspond to a time step that tends to zero, are obtained using the kinetic Monte Carlo method. The conclusions also apply to biased diffusion in two or more dimensions and to random deposition.     

The radiative return at small angles: virtual corrections

Virtual corrections for electron-positron annihilation into one real and one off-shell photon of invariant mass are evaluated. Special attention is paid to those configurations where the real photon is collinear with the beam direction. This calculation is an important ingredient of a Monte Carlo program, which simulates events with tagged photons from initial-state radiation, including NLO corrections.

Inclusive meson production in peripheral collisions of ultrarelativistic heavy ions

There exist several proposals to use Weizsäcker-Williams photons generated by ultrarelativistic heavy ions to produce exotic particles in γγ fusion reactions. To estimate the background conditions for such reactions we analyze various mechanisms of meson production in very peripheral collisions of ultrarelativistic heavy ions at RHIC and LHC energies. Besides the γγ fusion they include also electromagnetic γA interactions and strong nucleon-nucleon interactions in grazing AA collisions. All these processes are characterised by low multiplicities of produced particles. The γA an d AA events are simulated by corresponding Monte Carlo codes, RELDIS and FRITIOF. In each of these processes a certain fraction of pions is produced close to the mid-rapidity regionthat gives a background for the γγ events. The possibility of selecting the mesons produced in the γγ fusion events via different p _t cut procedures is demonstrated.
