Study of semileptonic decay of ${\bar{B}}_{s}^{0} \rightarrow \phi {l}^{+}{l}^{-}$ in QCD sum rule

In this work we study the semileptonic decay of ${\bar{B}}_{s}^{0}\to \phi {l}^{+}{l}^{-}$ (l=e, μ, τ) with the QCD sum rule method. We calculate the ${\bar{B}}_{s}^{0}\to \phi $ translation form factors relevant to this semileptonic decay, then the branching ratios of ${\bar{B}}_{s}^{0}\to \phi {l}^{+}{l}^{-}$ (l=e, μ, τ) decays are calculated with the form factors obtained here. Our result for the branching ratio of ${\bar{B}}_{s}^{0}\to \phi {\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ agree very well with the recent experimental data. For the unmeasured decay modes such as ${\bar{B}}_{s}^{0}\to \phi {e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ and ${\bar{B}}_{s}^{0}\to \phi {\tau }^{+}{\tau }^{-}$, we give theoretical predictions.     

Total versus quantum correlations in a two-mode Gaussian state

In Li and Luo(2007 Phys. Rev. A 76 032327), the inequality(1/2)T≥ Q was identified as a fundamental postulate for a consistent theory of quantum versus classical correlations for arbitrary measures of total T and quantum Q correlations in bipartite quantum states. Besides, Hayden et al(2006 Commun. Math. Phys. 265 95) have conjectured that, in some conditions within systems endowed with infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, quantum correlations may dominate not only half of total correlations but total correlations itself. Here, in a two-mode Gaussian state,quantifying T and Q respectively by the quantum mutual information I~G and the entanglement of formation(EoF) ε_F~G, we verify that ε_(F,R)~G,is always less than(1/2) I_R~G when I~G and ε_F~G are defined via the Rényi-2 entropy. While via the von Neumann entropy, ε_(F,V)~G,may even dominate I_V~G itself,which partly consolidates the Hayden conjecture, and partly, provides strong evidence hinting that the origin of this counterintuitive behavior should intrinsically be related to the von Neumann entropy by which the EoF ε_(F,V)~G,is defined, rather than related to the conceptual definition of the EoF ε_F. The obtained results show that—in the special case of mixed two-mode Gaussian states—quantum entanglement can be faithfully quantified by the Gaussian Rényi-2 EoF ε_(F,R)~G,.     

Pion-induced ${K}^{* }$ production with ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* }$ baryon off proton target

In this work, the reaction ${\pi }^{-}p\to {K}^{* }{{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* }$ is investigated with an effective Lagrangian approach. The contributions from the Born terms, including the s, t, and u channel, are considered, and the Regge model and the Feynman model are applied to treat the t -channel contribution. The existing experimental data can be reproduced with the best-fitted χ ² being 2.38 and 1.54 for the Feynman and Regge models, respectively. Moreover, it is found that the contribution from the t channel is dominant in the cross-section. The contribution of the u channel is mainly distributed at backward angles, and the contribution from the s channel is small and negligible. In the Feynman model, the contribution of the t -channel K exchange is much larger than the contribution of the ${K}^{* }$ exchange, while in the Regge model the contribution of the t -channel K exchange is comparable to that of the ${K}^{* }$ exchange. Prediction about the differential cross-section of the ${\pi }^{-}p\to {K}^{* }{{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* }$ reaction is also presented, which is helpful for clarifying the role of the Regge treatment. The current results suggest high-precision experimental measurements which can be performed at J-PARC and COMPASS.     

Robust chaos synchronization based on adaptive fuzzy delayed feedback ${\bf{\mathcal{H}}}_{\bf{\infty}}$ control

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive H_￥\mathcal H_\infty synchronization strategy, called an adaptive fuzzy delayed feedback H_￥\mathcal H_\infty synchronization (AFDFHS) strategy, for chaotic systems with uncertain parameters and external disturbances. Based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii theory, Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model and adaptive delayed feedback H_￥\mathcal H_\infty control scheme, the AFDFHS controller is presented such that the synchronization error system is asymptotically stable with a guaranteed H_￥\mathcal{H}_{\infty } performance. It is shown that the design of the AFDFHS controller with adaptive law can be achieved by solving a linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be easily facilitated by using some standard numerical packages. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed AFDFHS approach.

$\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$ state estimation for Markov jump neural networks with transition probabilities subject to the persistent dwell-time switching rule

We investigate the problem of $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ state estimation for discrete-time Markov jump neural networks. The transition probabilities of the Markov chain are assumed to be piecewise time-varying, and the persistent dwell-time switching rule, as a more general switching rule, is adopted to describe this variation characteristic. Afterwards, based on the classical Lyapunov stability theory, a Lyapunov function is established, in which the information about the Markov jump feature of the system mode and the persistent dwell-time switching of the transition probabilities is considered simultaneously. Furthermore, via using the stochastic analysis method and some advanced matrix transformation techniques, some sufficient conditions are obtained such that the estimation error system is mean-square exponentially stable with an $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ performance level, from which the specific form of the estimator can be obtained. Finally, the rationality and effectiveness of the obtained results are verified by a numerical example.

提出基于混合束模型的相对生物学效应(RBE)加权剂量鲁棒优化方法,用于减少碳离子束射程和摆位偏差对生物剂量分布的影响。建立概率组合鲁棒优化模型,利用二次型目标函数表达式,分别制定针对物理吸收剂量和RBE加权剂量的碳离子束治疗计划,并基于共轭梯度优化算法求解出各自最优的权重解,使得靶区和危及器官(OAR)实际剂量分布在射程和摆位偏差组合情况下尽量满足剂量要求。采用C型靶模型测试鲁棒优化方法的有效性。与基于计划靶区(PTV)的常规优化方法相比,针对物理吸收剂量的鲁棒优化计划临床靶区(CTV)的$ \Delta {D}_{95{\text{%}} } $减少10.00 cGy,OAR的$ \Delta {D}_{5{\text{%}} } $和$ \Delta {D}_{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}} $分别减少21.50和35.97 cGy,计划的鲁棒性得到了很好的提升。针对RBE加权剂量的鲁棒优化计划CTV的$ \Delta {D}_{95{\text{%}} } $降低14.00 cGy(RBE),OAR的$ \Delta {D}_{5{\text{%}} } $和$ \Delta {D}_{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}} $分别减少19.00和26.28 cGy(RBE),说明该方法不仅减少了CTV的生物剂量变化,也减少了OAR的生物剂量热点。该结果证明了基于混合束模型的RBE加权剂量鲁棒优化方法在有效提高碳离子放疗计划鲁棒性的同时使OAR也得到了很好的保护。

本工作研究了双重味重子的理想混合角。理想混合角是将$^{2S+1}(l_\lambda)_J$态转换为具有确定重夸克对称性的态时所对应的旋转角度。在标准的$\rho-\lambda$图像下,求得了$L_\rho=0$情形时重夸克对称性的态$\left(J, j_\ell\right)$和$\left(J, s_{\rm q}+j_\rho\right)= $$ \left(J, \{^4l_\lambda/^2l_\lambda\}\right)$态之间的理想混合角,其中${\boldsymbol{j}}_\ell={\boldsymbol{l}}_\lambda+{\boldsymbol{s}}_{\rm q}$, ${\boldsymbol{s}}_\rho={\boldsymbol{s}}_{\rm Q1}+{\boldsymbol{s}}_{\rm Q2}$和${\boldsymbol{j}}_\rho={\boldsymbol{s}}_\rho+{\boldsymbol{L}}_\rho$。本工作指出当研究双重味重子的衰变性质时,需要采用$(1S1p)1/2^-$和$(1S1p)3/2^-$等理想混合态。     

Searching for isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background in the international pulsar timing array second data release

We search for isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) in the International Pulsar Timing Array second data release. By modeling the SGWB as a power-law, we find very strong Bayesian evidence for a common-spectrum process, and further this process has scalar transverse (ST) correlations allowed in general metric theory of gravity as the Bayes factor in favor of the ST-correlated process versus the spatially uncorrelated common-spectrum process is 30 ± 2. The median and the 90% equal-tail amplitudes of ST mode are ${{ \mathcal A }}_{\mathrm{ST}}={1.29}_{-0.44}^{+0.51}\times {10}^{-15}$, or equivalently the energy density parameter per logarithm frequency is ${{\rm{\Omega }}}_{\mathrm{GW}}^{\mathrm{ST}}={2.31}_{-1.30}^{+2.19}\times {10}^{-9}$, at frequency of 1 year⁻¹. However, we do not find any statistically significant evidence for the tensor transverse (TT) mode and then place the 95% upper limits as ${{ \mathcal A }}_{\mathrm{TT}}\lt 3.95\times {10}^{-15}$, or equivalently ${{\rm{\Omega }}}_{\mathrm{GW}}^{\mathrm{TT}}\lt 2.16\times {10}^{-9}$, at frequency of 1 year⁻¹.     

Study of nucleon-nucleon and alphanucleon elastic scattering by the Manning-Rosen potential

Although often used in molecular dynamics, in this work the Manning–Rosen potential is parameterized to compute the scattering phase shifts for the nucleon–nucleon and the alpha-nucleon systems by exploiting the standard phase function method. We obtain excellent agreement in phase shifts with the more sophisticated calculations up to partial waves ${\ell }=2.$     

An Infinite Genus Mapping Class Group and Stable Cohomology

We exhibit a finitely generated group whose rational homology is isomorphic to the rational stable homology of the mapping class group. It is defined as a mapping class group associated to a surface of infinite genus, and contains all the pure mapping class groups of compact surfaces of genus g with n boundary components, for any g ≥ 0 and n > 0. We construct a representation of into the restricted symplectic group of the real Hilbert space generated by the homology classes of non-separating circles on , which generalizes the classical symplectic representation of the mapping class groups. Moreover, we show that the first universal Chern class in is the pull-back of the Pressley-Segal class on the restricted linear group via the inclusion . L. F. was partially supported by the ANR Repsurf:ANR-06-BLAN-0311.     

On the Product of Real Spectral Triples

The product of two real spectral triples and , the first of which is necessarily even, was defined by A.Connes as given by and, in the even-even case, by . Generically it is assumed that the real structure obeys the relations , , , where the -sign table depends on the dimension n modulo 8 of the spectral triple. If both spectral triples obey Connes' >-sign table, it is seen that their product, defined in the straightforward way above, does not necessarily obey this -sign table. In this Letter, we propose an alternative definition of the product real structure such that the -sign table is also satisfied by the product.     

Fast proton conduction path in {\text{Ni}} - {\text{BaCe}}_{{0.8}} {\text{Y}}_{{0.2}} {\text{O}}_{{2.9 - \delta }} membrane

The effect of metal-to-oxide grain boundary layer in $ {\text{Ni}} - {\text{BaCe}}_{{0.8}} {\text{Y}}_{{0.2}} {\text{O}}_{{3 - \delta }} $ (BCY) cermet membrane on hydrogen permeation was studied by applying the different size of oxide grain on Ni-BCY membranes. Two types of cermet membranes having different grain size of oxide were prepared by using different starting particle size of oxide powder. The hydrogen flux of coarse-oxide-grain membrane showed higher flux than that of small-oxide-grain membrane. It was understood that the negative potential at metal-to-oxide grain boundary, reference to the bulk oxide ( $ \phi _{0} < \phi _{\infty } = 0 $ ), was developed, and the accumulation of the effectively positively charged protons may occur at the grain boundary layer (space charge layer), which may result in providing highly conductive proton path by shifting the charge neutrality condition from $ {\left[ {OH^{ \bullet }_{O} } \right]} = {\left[ {Y^{/}_{{Ce}} } \right]} $ to $ {\left[ {OH^{ \bullet }_{O} } \right]} = n $ .     

A Heisenberg Double Addition to the Logarithmic Kazhdan–Lusztig Duality

For a Hopf algebra B, we endow the Heisenberg double \({\mathcal{H}(B^*)}\) with the structure of a module algebra over the Drinfeld double \({\mathcal{D}(B)}\). Based on this property, we propose that \({\mathcal{H}(B^*)}\) is to be the counterpart of the algebra of fields on the quantum-group side of the Kazhdan–Lusztig duality between logarithmic conformal field theories and quantum groups. As an example, we work out the case where B is the Taft Hopf algebra related to the \({\overline{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)}\) quantum group that is Kazhdan–Lusztig-dual to (p,1) logarithmic conformal models. The corresponding pair \({(\mathcal{D}(B),\mathcal{H}(B^*))}\) is “truncated” to \({(\overline{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell2,\overline{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2))}\), where \({\overline{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)}\) is a \({\overline{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)}\) module algebra that turns out to have the form \({\overline{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)=\mathbb{C}_{\mathfrak{q}}[z,\partial]\otimes\mathbb{C}[\lambda]/(\lambda^{2p}-1)}\), where \({\mathbb{C}_{\mathfrak{q}}[z,\partial]}\) is the \({\overline{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)}\)-module algebra with the relations z ^p  = 0, ? ^p  = 0, and \({\partial z = \mathfrak{q}-\mathfrak{q}^{-1} + \mathfrak{q}^{-2} z\partial}\).

On (n,p) cross sections for 14 MeV neutrons

Using older compilations and recent data the (n, p) cross sections for neutron energies between 14 and 15 MeV have been collected and revised critically. The experimental data can be represented phenomenologically by the formula $$\log _{10} ({{\sigma _{np} } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\sigma _{np} } {mb}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {mb}}) = 0.2 + 0.4A^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} - 4.6{{(N - Z)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{(N - Z)} {A^{{2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {A^{{2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} }}$$ . The compound part of the (n, p) reactions is described by a statistical model; the direct reactions are taken into account semiempirically.     

Long-Time Asymptotics of Solutions to the Cauchy Problem for the Defocusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Finite-Density Initial Data. II. Dark Solitons on Continua

For Lax-pair isospectral deformations whose associated spectrum, for given initial data, consists of the disjoint union of a finitely denumerable discrete spectrum (solitons) and a continuous spectrum (continuum), the matrix Riemann–Hilbert problem approach is used to derive the leading-order asymptotics as of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation ( NLSE), , with finite-density initial data

Charge-dependent correlations in heavy-ion collisions from stochastic hydrodynamics

Charge-dependent correlations from both background and charge separation contribute to experimental observables in heavy-ion collisions. In this paper, we use stochastic hydrodynamics to study background charge asymmetry due to fluctuations. Using the rapidity-dependent correlation and a simple ansatz for particle distributions, we find a fluctuation-induced correlation to provide a type of background F -correlation. Experimental data for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{\mathrm{NN}}}=200\,\mathrm{GeV}$ are compared. We also make predictions for F -correlations in isobar collisions. Combining this with our previous chiral magnetic effect results, we obtain δ -correlations for collisions in the three types of system. Computations from our model show an almost identical background with less than 2% difference for isobars, but roughly 10% difference for their charge separations. In combination with our earlier works, we provide a consistent method of calculating both the chiral magnetic effect and the charged background in the context of stochastic hydrodynamics.     

Feynman Graphs,Rooted Trees,and Ringel-Hall Algebras

We construct symmetric monoidal categories of rooted forests and Feynman graphs. These categories closely resemble finitary abelian categories, and in particular, the notion of Ringel-Hall algebra applies. The Ringel-Hall Hopf algebras of , are dual to the corresponding Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebras on rooted trees and Feynman diagrams. We thus obtain an interpretation of the Connes-Kreimer Lie algebras on rooted trees and Feynman graphs as Ringel-Hall Lie algebras.
