Determination of J/φ Event Number via J/φ→μ+μ- and J/φ→ e+e- at BESIII

The decays of J/φ→μ⁺μ^- and J/φ→ e⁺e^- are studied by Monte-Carlo simulation, based on the Beijing Spectrometer (BES)Ⅲ offline software system. The methods of determination of the J/φ event number via J/φ→μ⁺μ^- and J/φ→ e⁺e^- are presented, respectively. These methods can be used to determine the J/φevent number for the coming BESⅢ J/φ data sample.     

D+ → η(')l+νl semileptonic decays in light-cone sum rules

We calculate the D → η transition form factor in light-cone sum rules by taking improved current correlators to avoid the pollution from the twist-3 wave function. We get consistent results of the D⁺ → η^(')l⁺ν_l decays with the experimental data. By comparing the difference between the results of the branching ratios of D⁺ → η^(')l⁺ν_l from a two-pole parameterization model and from a BZ parameterization model, we find that the two-pole model and the BZ model are comparably believable. One way is supposed for the determination of the η-η' mixing angle from the dependence of the branching ratios of D⁺ → η^(')l⁺ν_l decays on the η-η' mixing angle.     

Searching for new physics in D0→μ+μ-, e+e-,μ±e干 at BES and/or the super charm-tau factory

In contrast with B⁰-B⁰, B_s-B_s mixing where the standard model (SM) contributions overwhelm that of the new physics beyond standard model (BSM), a measured relatively large D⁰-D⁰ mixing where the SM contribution is negligible, definitely implies the existence of the new physics BSM. It is natural to consider that the rare decays of D meson might be more sensitive to new physics, and the decay mode D⁰→μ⁺μ^- could be an ideal area to search for new physics because it is a flavor changing process. In this work we look for a trace of the new physics BSM in the leptonic decays of D⁰. Concretely we discuss the contributions of unparticle or an extra gauge boson Z' while imposing the constraints set by fitting the D⁰- D⁰ mixing data. We find that the long-distance SM effects for D⁰→l1 still exceed those contributions of the BSM under consideration, but for a double-flavor changing process such as D⁰→μ^±e⁺, the new physics contribution would be significant.     

Event generators for η/η’ rare decays into π~+π~-1~+1~- and e~+e~-μ~+μ~-

Study of the rare and forbidden decays of η/η offers a sensitive probe to test fundamental symmetries of quantum chromodynamics and search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. To study the rare decays of η/η to π + π - e + e - , π + π - μ + μ - and e + e - μ + μ - at the BES detector, we developed several event generators based on the vector meson dominant model with finite-width corrections and the pseudoscalar mesons mixing theory. The various distributions from event generators are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions, which indicates that the event generators work very well after implemention in the BES Monte Carlo simulation package. In the BES physics analysis, the performance of the event generators will be improved in accordance with the distributions of different variables of η/η from data and the improvement on the theoretical calculations.     

Analysis of Bs→φμ+μ- decay within supersymmetry

Motivated by the rst measurement on B(B_s→φμ⁺μ^-) by the CDF Collaboration, we study the supersymmetric e ects in semi-leptonic B_s→φμ⁺μ^- decay. In our evaluations, we analyze the dependences of the dimuon invariant mass spectrum and the forward-backward asymmetry on relevant supersymmetric couplings in the MSSM with and without R-parity. The analyses show that the new experimental upper limits of B(B_s→φμ⁺μ^-)from the LHCb Collaboration could further improve the bounds on sneutrino exchange couplings and (δ_LL^u)₂₃ as well as (δ_LL,RR^u)₂₃ mass insertion couplings. In addition, within the allowed ranges of relevant couplings under the constraints from B(B_s→φμ⁺μ^-), B(B→K^(*)μ⁺μ^-) and (B_s→φμ⁺μ^-), the dimuon forward-backward asymmetry and the di erential dimuon forward-backward asymmetry of B_s→φμ⁺μ^-are highly sensitive to the squark exchange contribution and the (δ_LL^u)₂₃ mass insertion contribution. The results obtained in this work will be very useful in searching for supersymmetric signals at the LHC.     

Radiative decays J/ψ → η(')γ in perturbative QCD

With the recent investigations of the g^*g^*-η^(') transition form factor and η-η^' mixing scheme, we present an updated study of the radiative decays J/ψ → η^(')γ in perturbative QCD. The decays are taken as a test ground for the g^*g^*-η^(') transition form factors and the η-η^' mixing scheme. The form factors are found to be working for glunic η^' production and the mixing angle is constrained to be φ=35.1°±0.8°.     

Event generators for η/η' decays at BESⅢ

The light unflavoured meson η/η' decays are valuable for testing non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics and exploring new physics beyond the Standard Model. This paper describes a series of event generators, including η/η'→γl~+l~-, η/η'→γπ~+π~-, η'→ωe~+e~-, η→π~+π~-π~0, η/η'→π~0π~0π~0, η'→ηππ andη'→π~+π~-π~+π~-/π~+π~-π~0π~0, which have been developed for investigating η/ηdecay dynamics. For most of these generators, their usability has been validated in BESIII analyses for determining the detection efficiency, and background studies. The consistency between data and Monte Carlo shows that these generators work well in the BESⅢ simulation, and will also be useful for ongoing BESⅢ analyses and other experiments for studying η/η' physics.     

关于（e+e-）,（μ+μ-）原子在库仑场的裂解

本文应用了复合粒子场论的微扰展开理论和自旋为（1/2-1/2）的库仑相互作用原子的Bethe-Salpeter协变波函数的近似解,计算了（e⁺e^-）（μ⁺μ^-）原子的高速飞行下裂解截面及能谱。结果表明（e⁺e^-）原子的裂解截面比前人的计算约小20％。此外,计算还表明（e⁺e^-）及（μ⁺μ^-）原子的单态和三重态裂解截面对任意主量子数n,和极端相对论近似下将精确相等,而前人的计算中只是n=2时才有这一结果,而对n=1时,两者相差约有25％。看来很可能是计算中的错误所致。     

Evidence for e+e-→γχc1,2 at center-of-mass energies from 4.009 to 4.360 GeV

Using data samples collected at center-of-mass energies of √s=4.009, 4.230, 4.260, and 4.360 GeV with the BES0 detector operating at the BEPC/ collider, we perform a search for the process e⁺e^-→γχ_c,j (J =0, 1, 2) and find evidence for e⁺e^-→γχ_c1 and e⁺e^-→γχ_c2 with statistical significances of 3.0σ and 3.4σ, respectively. The Born cross sections σ^B(e⁺e^-→γχ_c,j), as well as their upper limits at the 90% con dence level (C.L.) are determined at each center-of-mass energy.     

Off-Shell Effect of Quarks in Bs→γe+e-

We evaluate the rare decays B_s→γe⁺e^- in the standard model, considering the off-shell effect of quarks in B_s meson as well as some contributions neglected in previous works. It is found that the quarks off-shell are large. With the predicted branching ratios at order of 10^-8, it is expected that the radiative dileptonic decays will be detected in the LHC-b experiments.     

First evidence of ψ(2S)→Ω-Ω+

The decay ψ(2S)→Ω^-Ω⁺ is analyzed using 14×10⁶ ψ(2S) events recorded by the Beijing Spectrometer Ⅱ (BESⅡ) at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC). Based upon events with no missing charged tracks and a satisfactory four-constraint kinematic t, we determine the upper limit for the branching fraction of ψ(2S)→Ω^-Ω⁺ to be 1.5×10⁴ at a 90% confidence level. By including events with one missing charged track, we are able to report the first evidence of an Ω⁺ signal with a statistical signi cance of 3.1|σ. The branching fraction of ψ(2S)Ω⁺ is determined to be (4.80±1.56(stat)±1.30(sys))10⁵.     

A simulation study on the measurement of D0-D0 mixing parameter y at BESⅢ

We established a method on measuring the D⁰-D⁰ mixing parameter y for BESⅢ experiment at the BEPCⅡ e⁺e^－ collider. In this method, the doubly tagged π(3770) →D⁰-D⁰ events, with one D decays to CP-eigenstates and the other D decays semileptonically, are used to reconstruct the signals. Since this analysis requires good e/π separation, a likelihood approach, which combines the dE/dx, time of flight and the electromagnetic shower detectors information, is used for particle identification. We estimate the sensitivity of the measurement of y to be 0.007 based on a 20fb^-1 fully simulated MC sample.     

Measurement of J/ψ decays into ΛΛ π+π-

Based on 58 million J/ψ events collected by the BESⅡ detector at the BEPC, J/ψ→ΛΛ π⁺π^- is observed for the first time. The branching fraction is measured to be Br(J/ψ→ΛΛ π⁺π^-)=(4.30±0.13±0.99)×10^-3, excluding the decays to intermediate states, namely J/ψ→Ξ^-Ξ⁺, J/ψ→Σ(1385)^-Σ(1385)⁺, and J/ψ→Σ(1385)⁺Σ(1385)^-. The branching fractions for these intermediate resonance channels are measured to be:Br(J/ψ→Ξ^-Ξ⁺)=（0.90±0.03±0.18）×10^-3, Br(J/ψ→Σ(1385)^-Σ(1385)⁺)=(1.23±0.07±0.30)×10^-3,and Br(J/ψ→Σ(1385)⁺Σ(1385)^-)=(1.50±0.08±0.38)×10^-3, respectively. The angular distribution is of the form dN/d(cosθ)α(1+αcos²θ) with α=(0.35±0.29±0.06) for J/ψ→Ξ^-Ξ⁺, α=(-0.54±0.22±0.10) for J/ψ→Σ(1385)^-Σ(1385)⁺, and α=(-0.35±0.29±0.06) for J/ψ→Σ(1385)⁺Σ(1385)^-.     

Mini-review of rare charmonium decays at BESⅢ

Recently, the LHCb experiment announced 3.5σ evidence for direct CP violation in D⁰ decay by looking at the difference between A_CP(D⁰→K⁺K^-) and A_CP(D⁰→π⁺π^-). This is the rst evidence of CP violation in a charm system, which may indicate new physics beyond the Standard Model. Motivated by this measurement, we review rare processes in charmonium decay, especially, the weak decay, C or P violated decay, and lepton avor violated decays. In case the new physics appears in charm sector, these rare decays of charmonium states will provide an opportunity to search for signi cant contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. With huge J/ψ and ψ(2S) samples in BES0 experiment, the rare decays may be feasible.

The study of B→K()l+l- decays in family non-universal Z' models

In a combined investigation of B→K^(*)l⁺l^- decays, constraints on the related couplings in family non-universal Z' models are derived. We find that within the allowed parameter space, the recently observed forward-backward asymmetry in the B→K^(*)l⁺l^- decay can be explained by flipping the signs of the Wilson coefficients C₉^eff and C₁₀. With the obtained constraints, we also calculate the branching ratio of the B_s→μ⁺μ^- decay. The upper bound of our prediction is nearly an order of magnitude smaller than the upper bound given by the CDF Collaboration recently.     

Pure annihilation type decays B0→Ds- K2+ and Bs→Da2 in perturbative QCD approach

We calculate the branching ratios of pure annihilation type decays B⁰→D_s^- K₂^*+ and B_s→Da₂ using the perturbative QCD approach based on k_T factorization. The branching ratios are predicted to be (60.6_{-16.5-10.4-2.1}^{+17.3+4.3+3.2} )× 10^-6 for B⁰→D_s^- K₂^*+, (1.1_-0.4-0.2-0.1^+0.4+0.1+0.1)×10^-6 for B_s→D⁰a₂⁰ and (2.3_-0.8-0.4-0.1^+0.8+0.2+0.1)×10^-6 for B_s→D^-a₂⁺. They are large enough to be measured in the ongoing experiment. Due to the shortage of contributions from penguin operators, there are no direct CP asymmetries for these decays in the Standard Model. We also derive simple relations among these decay channels to reduce theoretical uncertainties for the experiments to test the accuracy of theory and search of new physics signal.     

Semileptonic decays Bc→(ηc,J/Ψ)lv in the perturbative QCD approach

In this paper we study the semileptonic decays of B_c^-→(η_c,J/Ψ)l^-v_l. We first evaluate the B_c→(η_c,J/Ψ) transition form factors F₀(q²), F₊(q²), V(q²) and A_0,1,2(q²) by employing the pQCD factorization approach, and then we calculate the branching ratios for all considered semileptonic decays. Based on the numerical results and the phenomenological analysis, we find that: (a) the pQCD predictions for the values of the B_c→η_c and B_c→J/Ψ transition form factors agree well with those obtained by using other methods; (b) the pQCD predictions for the branching ratios of the considered decays are Br(B_c^-→η_c e^-v_e(μ^-v_μ)=(4.41_-1.09^+1.22)×10^-3, Br(B_c^-→η_cτ^-v_τ) =(1.37_-0.34^+0.37)×10^-3, Br(B_c^-→J/Ψ e^-v_e(μ^-v_μ)) =(10.03_-1.18^+1.33)×10^-3, and Br(B_c^-→J/Ψτ^-v_τ) =(2.92_-0.34^+0.40)×10^-3; and (c) we also define and calculate two ratios of the branching ratios R_ηc and R_J/Ψ, which will be tested by LHCb and the forthcoming Super-B experiments.     

A note on Ξc(3055)+ and Ξc(3123)+

The Babar Collaboration announced two new excited charmed baryons Ξ_c(3055)⁺ and Ξ_c(3123)⁺. We study their strong decays assuming they are D-wave states. Some assignments are excluded by comparing our numerical results with the experimental values of the total widths of Ξ_c(3055)⁺ and Ξ_c(3123)⁺. We also suggest some possible decay modes, which will be helpful to     

O(α_sv~2) correction to J/ψ plus η_c production in e~+e~- annihilation at √s=10.6 GeV

Based on the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach, O(α_sv2) corrections to J/ψ plus η_c production in m e⁺e^- annihilation at √s=10.6 ≥v are calculated in this work. The numerical results show that the correction at α_sv2 order is only about a few percent of the total theoretical result. This indicates that the perturbative expansions become convergent and that a higher order correction will be smaller. The uncertainties from the long-distance matrix elements, renormalization scale and the measurement in the experiment are also discussed. Our result is in agreement with the previous result by Jia.
