直生强子产率的普适质量关系

利用“隧道效应”给出的QCD真空激发产生夸克的几率,结合夸克随机组合成强子的简单图像,不需要任何附加假定得到各种高能反应直生介子、重子相对产率都满足同样的普适质量关系〈n〉=aexp(–bm),这个质量关系与反应质心能量和具体反应过程无关.与最近分析实验发现的经验公式形式上完全一样,这意味着强子质量是描述粒子多重数最基本的物理量.     

ARGO-YBJ detector simulation using GEANT4

‘G4argo＇, a GEANT4-based simulation package for the ARGO-YBJ detector, is described in this paper. C4argo incorporates in the simulation the true RPC time resolution and another 0.5 ns time uncertainty which is introduced from the offline calibration of TDC. In addition, the correct RPC geometry and the true materials for the ARGO-YBJ experimental hall are implemented. As a result, G4argo simulation shows a very good agreement with real data.     

超高能γ–强子族的能量集中现象

通过对甘巴拉山铁乳胶室观测到的族事例以及COSMOS程序和CORSI-KA程序产生的模拟族事例进行分析、对比,对超高能γ强子族的能量集中现象的产生特征进行了细致的研究.初步的结论是:超高能γ强子族的能量集中现象是族中含有的高能中心簇射集团的外在表现,这种现象在实验上发生的频度为(20.5±3.1)%,集团的平均横向扩展约为0.37cm.与传统的以唯象多团模型为基础的COSMOS程序相比,基于SIBYLL模型的CORSIKA程序的模拟结果较为接近实验的分析结果.

Estimation of the proton energy spectrum in knee region by analog read-out of ARGO-YBJ experiment

Based on the six months data set of ARGO-YBJ experiment with analog read-out and its Monte Carlo simulation, we study the difference between different primaries induced showers by using the space-time information of the charged particles in Extensive Air Showers. With five parameters which can efficiently pick out primary proton induced showers as inputs of an artificial neural network, the proton spectrum from 100 TeV to 10 PeV can be obtained.     

A possible signature of new physics at BES-Ⅲ

The recent observations of the purely leptonic decay Ds＋→μ＋νμ and τ＋ντ at CLEO-c and B factory may allow a possible contribution from a charged Higgs boson. One such measurement of the decay constant fD. differs from the most precise unquenched lattice QCD calculation by a level of 4 σ. Meanwhile, the measured ratio, BR（Ds＋→μ＋νμ）/BR（D＋→μ＋νμ）, is larger than the standard model prediction at a 2.0σ level. We discuss that the precise measurement of the ratio BR（Ds＋→μ＋νμ）/BR（D＋→μ＋νμ） at BES-Ⅲ will shed light on the presence of new intermediate particles by comparing the data with the theoretical predictions, especially, the predictions of high precise unquenched lattice QCD calculations.     

Track reconstruction in the BESⅢ muon counter

The reconstruction algorithm for BESⅢ Muon Counter, MucRecAlg, is developed with the objectoriented language C＋＋ in BESⅢ offine software environment. MucRecAlg consists of the following functions：to find track seeds either from extrapolation of tracks in the main drift chamber or from the fired strips in muon counter, to select fired strips associated to the candidate tracks, to fit the candidate tracks with a linear or quadratic function and to calculate other parameters of the tracks for muon identification. Monte Carlo samples are generated to check the performance of the reconstruction package, such as reconstruction effciency, muon remaining rate and pion rejection rate, etc. The preliminary results show that the pion rejection rate is around 3%—4% while the muon remaining rate is better than 90% in 0.4—1.6 GeV/c momentum region, which meets the requirement as shown in the design report.     

Decay vertex reconstruction and 3-dimensional lifetime determination at BESⅢ

This paper focuses mainly on the vertex reconstruction of resonance particles with a relatively long lifetime such as Ks^0, A, as well as on lifetime measurements using a 3-dimensional fit. The kinematic constraints between the production and decay vertices and the decay vertex fitting algorithm based on the least squares method are both presented. Reconstruction efficiencies including experimental resolutions are discussed. The results and systematic errors are calculated based on a Monte Carlo simulation.
