We revisit the standard treatment due to Xu et al. of
suppression due to gluonic bombardment in an equilibrating quark-gluon plasma. Effects arising from gluon fugacity, relative g-
flux, and
meson formation time are explicitly incorporated in the formulation of the gluon number density, velocity-weighted cross section, and the survival probability. Our new formulae are applied to a numerical study of the pattern of
suppression in the central rapidity region at RHIC/LHC energies. The temperature and transverse momentum dependence of our graphs have noticeable differences from those of Xu et al.Received: 27 February 2004, Revised: 3 June 2004, Published online: 6 August 2004 相似文献

The process of exclusive heavy vector meson photoproduction,
, is studied in the framework of QCD factorization. The mass of the produced meson,
or
, provides a hard scale for the process. We demonstrate that, in the heavy quark limit and at the one-loop order in perturbation theory, the amplitude factorizes in a convolution of a perturbatively calculable hard-scattering amplitude with the generalized parton densities and the non-relativistic QCD matrix element
. We evaluate the hard-scattering amplitude at one-loop order and compare the data with theoretical predictions using an available model for generalized parton distributions.Received: 22 January 2004, Published online: 23 March 2004 相似文献

We present a new measurement of
production in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon, from the data sample collected in year 2000 by the NA50 Collaboration,
under improved experimental conditions with respect to previous years. With the target system placed in vacuum, the setup
was better adapted to study, in particular, the most peripheral nuclear collisions with unprecedented accuracy. The analysis
of this data sample shows that the
cross-sections ratio measured in the most peripheral Pb-Pb interactions is in good agreement with the nuclear absorption
pattern extrapolated from the studies of proton-nucleus collisions. Furthermore, this new measurement confirms our previous
observation that the
cross-sections ratio departs from the normal nuclear absorption pattern for semi-central Pb-Pb collisions and that this ratio
persistently decreases up to the most central collisions.

The measured cross sections are compared to theoretical predictions within the non-relativistic QCD framework including colour-singlet and colour-octet contributions, as well as to predictions based on the kT-factorisation approach. Calculations of the colour-singlet process generally agree with the data, whereas inclusion of colour-octet terms spoils this agreement.Received: 18 May 2005, Revised: 24 June 2005, Published online: 27 July 2005 相似文献

We investigate the effect of Fermi motion on the direct fragmentation of the
and
states employing a light-cone wave function. Consistent with such a wave function we set up the kinematics of a heavy quark
fragmenting into quarkonia such that the Fermi motion of the constituents splits into a longitudinal as well as a transverse
direction and thus calculate the fragmentation functions for these states. In the framework of our investigation, we estimate
that the fragmentation probabilities of
and
may increase at least up to 14 percent when including this degree of freedom.

We discuss the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the decay
in an extension of the standard model with both a two Higgs doublet and additional fourth-generation quarks. We show that, although the standard model with a two Higgs doublet and the standard model with fourth-generation quarks alone are not likely to largely change the effective
from the decay
, the model with both an additional Higgs doublet and fourth-generation quarks can easily account for the possible large negative value of
without conflicting with other experimental constraints. In this model, additional large CP violating effects may arise from the flavor-changing Yukawa interactions between neutral Higgs bosons and the heavy fourth-generation down type quark, which can modify the QCD penguin contributions. With the constraints obtained from
processes such as
and
, this model can lead to an effective
as large as - 0.4 in the CP asymmetry of

We compute the one-loop

New data on the
suppression both in proton-nucleus and in lead-lead interactions have been presented recently by the NA50 collaboration. We show that these data, together with the final ones on sulfur-uranium interactions, can be described in the framework of the comovers interaction model with a unique set of three parameters: the nuclear absorption cross-section, the comovers interaction cross-section and a single (rescaled) absolute normalization. Expectations for
suppression at RHIC are also discussed.Received: 3 April 2003, Published online: 11 July 2003 相似文献

Tau lepton decays with open strangeness in the final state are measured with the OPAL detector at LEP to determine the strange hadronic spectral function of the
lepton. The decays
,
and
with final states consisting of neutral and charged kaons and pions have been studied. The invariant mass distributions of
of these final states have been experimentally determined. Monte Carlo simulations have been used for the remaining
and for the strange final states including
mesons. The reconstructed strange final states, corrected for resolution effects and detection efficiencies, yield the strange spectral function of the
lepton. The moments of the spectral function and the ratio of strange to non-strange moments, which are important input parameters for theoretical analyses, are determined. Furthermore, the branching fractions
and

We discuss aspects of open and hidden charm production in deuterium-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. We describe calculations of the total
cross section and the charm quark transverse momentum distributions. We next explain how shadowing and moderate nuclear absorption can explain the PHENIX

In the SUSY SO(10) GUT context, we study the exclusive processes
. Using the Wilson coefficients of the relevant operators including the new operators
which are induced by neutral Higgs boson (NHB) penguins, we evaluate some possible observables associated with these processes like the invariant mass spectrum (IMS), lepton pair forward-backward asymmetry (FBA), lepton polarization asymmetries etc. In this model the contributions from Wilson coefficients
, among new contributions, are dominant. Our results show that the NHB effects are sensitive to the FBA,

In the framework of QCD factorization, we study
decays. In order to more reliably determine the phenomenological parameters X
H and X
A arising from end-point divergences in the hard spectator scattering and weak annihilation contributions, we use the global analysis for twelve
and VP decay modes, such as
,
,
,
, et cetera, but excluding the modes whose (dominant) internal quark-level process is
. Based on the global analysis, we critically investigate possible magnitudes of X
H,A and find that both large and small X
H,A terms are allowed by the global fit. In the case of the large X
H,A effects, the standard model (SM) prediction of the branching ratios (BRs) for
is large and well consistent with the experimental results. In contrast, in the case of the small X
H,A effects, the SM prediction for these BRs is smaller than the experimental data. Motivated by the recent Belle measurement of

H,A case. Specifically, we present two new physics scenarios: R-parity violating SUSY and R-parity conserving SUSY.Received: 28 April 2004, Revised: 12 July 2004, Published online: 7 September 2004 相似文献

This admixture will give a significant contribution to the decays.Received: 29 August 2003, Revised: 17 January 2004, Published online: 19 March 2004Corresponding author: Y.D. Yang 相似文献

Due to its light mass, of order
, the strange quark can play a special role in chiral symmetry breaking (
SB): differences in the pattern of
SB in the limits Nf = 2 (
, ms physical) and Nf = 3 (
) may arise due to vacuum fluctuations of
pairs, related to the violation of the Zweig rule in the scalar sector and encoded in particular in the O(p4) low-energy constants L4 and L6. In case of large fluctuations, we show that the customary treatment of SU(3) x SU(3) chiral expansions generates instabilities upsetting their convergence. We develop a systematic program to cure these instabilities by resumming non-perturbatively vacuum fluctuations of
pairs, in order to extract information about
SB from experimental observations even in the presence of large fluctuations. We advocate a Bayesian framework for treating the uncertainties due to the higher orders. As an application, we present a three-flavor analysis of the low-energy
scattering and show that the recent experimental data imply a lower bound on the quark mass ratio
at 95% confidence level. We outline how additional information may be incorporated to further constrain the pattern of
SB in the Nf = 3 chiral limit.Received: 2 December 2003, Published online: 3 March 2004J. Stern: stern@ipno.in2p3.fr 相似文献

The CP asymmetries of the decay
, which originates from
flavor-changing neutral-current processes, and its CP-averaged branching ratio BR
offer interesting avenues to explore flavor physics. We show that we may characterize this channel, within the standard model, in a theoretically clean manner through a surface in observable space. In order to extract the relevant information from BR
, further information is required, which is provided by the
system and the SU(3) flavor symmetry, where we include the leading factorizable SU(3)-breaking corrections and discuss how experimental insights into non-factorizable effects can be obtained. We point out that the standard model implies a lower bound for BR
, which is very close to its current experimental upper bound, thereby suggesting that this decay should soon be observed. Moreover, we explore the implications for color suppression in the
system, and convert the data for these modes in a peculiar standard-model pattern for the CP-violating
observables.Received: 3 August 2004, Published online: 15 November 2004 相似文献
