What can we learn from B→DsKπ, Bd→DsKπ and Bd→DsK decays?

We study the nonresonant three-body decays of B⁺→D^(*)−_sK⁺π⁺ and B_d→D_s^(*)−K⁰π⁺. We find that these decays can provide the information on the time-like form factors of D^(*)_sK. We also explicitly investigate B_d→D_s^(*)−K^*+ decays by discriminating the nonresonant contributions with the unknown D^(*)_s wave functions being fixed by the measured mode of B_d→D_s⁻K⁺.     

On the B→Xs ll decays in general supersymmetric models

We analyze the inclusive semileptonic decays B→X_s l⁺l⁻ in the framework of the supersymmetric standard model with non-universal soft-breaking terms at GUT scale. We show that the general trend of universal and non-universal models is a decreasing of branching ratio (BR) and increasing of energy asymmetry (AS). However, only non-universal models can have chances to get very large enhancements in BR and AS, corresponding to large (negative) SUSY contributions to the b→sγ amplitude.     

Perturbative QCD correction to the B → π transition form factor

We report on the perturbative O(_s) correction to the light-cone QCD sum rule for the B → π transition form factor f⁺. The correction to the product f_Bf⁺ in leading twist approximation is found to be about 30%, that is similar in magnitude to the corresponding O(_s) correction in the two-point sum rule for f_B. The resulting cancellation of large QCD corrections in f⁺ eliminates one important uncertainty in the sum-rule prediction for this form factor.     

Union of chiral and heavy quark symmetries

We describe the chiral symmetric couplings of pions to heavy mesons (B or D), valid in the portion of phase space where the pions have low momentum. In order to include consistently all low energy excitations, the vector mesons (B^* or D^*) must appear explicitly in the effective lagrangian. The result is then invariant under both the chiral and heavy quark symmetries. We include matrix elements relevant for various weak decays.     

Searching for new physics in the rare decay B→Dsφ

The rare decay B⁺→D_s⁺φ can occur only via annihilation type diagram in the standard model. The small branching ratio predicted in the standard model makes this channel sensitive to new physics contributions. We analyze this decay mode, both in the standard model and in several extensions of it. The models considered are minimal supersymmetric model with R-parity violation and two Higgs doublet model. The experimental verification of our findings of large branching ratio and/or nonzero CP asymmetry may signal the presence of new physics.     

B→ηlν decays and the flavor-singlet form factors

We study semileptonic decays B→η^(′)lν, taking into account the flavor-singlet contribution (F^singlet₊) to the B→η^(′) form factors, which arises from the two-gluon emission in a decaying B meson. It has been recently pointed out that, in addition to large weak annihilation effects, the unknown value of F^singlet₊ prevents accurate theoretical estimates in the analysis of B→η′K decays in QCD factorization. We present a certain method to determine F^singlet₊ with a reasonable accuracy, using B→η^(′)lν and B→πlν decays. We also investigate the possible effect of F^singlet₊ on the estimated branching ratios (BRs) for B→η^(′)lν and find that the BR for B→η′lν is particularly sensitive to the effect of F^singlet₊.     

Improved constants for the 7820 Å and 7883 Å bands of CO2

High-dispersion spectra of Venus are used to obtain line positions and band constants for the (105)_I and (105)_II bands of CO₂. An improved method of analysis is used to obtain very accurate results. Assuming B″ = 0.390218 and D″ = 13.3 × 10^-8 for the ground state, we find for 7820: ω₀ = 12774.727 cm^-1 ±0.002, B' = 0.374540 ±0.000006, D' = 10.9 × 10^-8 ±0.4, for 7883: ω₀ = 12672.274 cm^-1 ±0.004, B' = 0.375657 ±0.000014, D' = 17.2 × 10^-8 ±1.7,

The values for ω₀ and B' are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than those given by Herzberg and Herzberg in 1953, and the D' values are new.     

Flux creep and flux flow for thallium ceramics in a pulsed magnetic field

The resistive properties of Tl-ceramics with T_c|=0=114 K were investigated in a pulsed magnetic field (B) up to 30 T and in the temperature range of 4.2 K<T<140 K. It was shown that the character of the field dependence of the resistance differs qualitatively in high-and low-temperature regions. At low (T80K) temperatures the dynamic magnetoresistance arising in the sample is analogous to that observed earlier in LaSrCuO [1] and YBaCuO [2] ceramics. This magnetoresistance is defined by the magnetic field variation rate and leads to the appearance of a minimum at the maximum of the magnetic field pulse, i.e. at . In the region of high temperatures (80 K T<T_c) or magnetic fields (at T60K) the sample resistance rises monotonically with B increase, and dynamic resistance is not observed. In this temperature range the existence of a scaling relation is shown (here B^* and T^* meet the condition k=(B^*, T^*)/ _n(T^*)=const) for the ceramics resistance (B,T), which can be represented as . An estimate for the upper critical field B_c2(0)B_o=1030±40 T is obtained.     

Resummations with renormalon effects for the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon (g−2)

The hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon (g−2) value is calculated by considering a known dispersion integral which involves the R_e⁺e⁻(s) ratio. The theoretical part stemming from the region below 1.8 GeV is the largest contribution in our approach, and is calculated by using a contour integral involving the associated Adler function D(Q²). In the resummations, we explicitly take into account the exactly known renormalon singularity of the leading infrared renormalon in the usual and in the modified Borel transform of D(Q²), and map further away from the origin the other renormalon singularities by employing judiciously chosen conformal transformations. The renormalon effect increases the predicted value of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon (g−2), and therefore diminishes the difference between the recently measured and the SM/QCD-predicted value of (g−2). It is also shown that the total QED correction to the hadronic vacuum polarization is very small, about 0.06%.

U-spin symmetry in doubly Cabibbo-suppressed charmed meson decays

We prove a U-spin amplitude triangle relation among doubly Cabibbo-suppressed (DCS) charmed meson decays, D⁰→K⁺π⁻,D⁰→K⁰π⁰ and D⁺_s→K⁰K⁺, congruent to an isospin relation among corresponding Cabibbo-favored (CF) decays. U-spin breaking in relative phases between CF and DCS amplitudes affects time-dependent studies of D⁰– mixing. Comparison of final state phase patterns in DCS and CF amplitude triangles, which can shed some light on these phases, is carried out in a phenomenological framework incorporating resonance contributions.     

Binding energy of an exciton bound to ionized donors in quantum dots

Binding energies for an exciton (X) trapped in the two-dimensional quantum dot by a positive ion located on the z axis at a distance d from the dot plane are calculated by using the method of few-body physics. This configuration is called a barrier (D⁺,X) center. The dependence of the binding energy of the ground state of the barrier (D⁺,X) center on the dot radius for a few values of the distance d between the fixed positive ion on the z axis and the dot plane is obtained. We find that when d<0.2nm the barrier (D⁺,X) center does not form a bound state.     

Non-1/mb power suppressed contributions to inclusive B → Xsll decays

We compute non-perturbative contributions to B → X_sl⁺l⁻ that are not explicitly suppressed by powers of the b-quark mass. They are proportional to and arise from an interference between the free-quark amplitude and high order terms in the matrix element of the four-quark operator s⁻γ^μ(1 − γ₅)cc^−βγ_μ(1 − γ₅)b_β. This correction is found to be small over most of the dalitz plot except near the charm threshold. Unfortunately, the perturbative computation we have performed is invalid near charm threshold and we do not except to see the structure found at lowest order reproduced in the data. We conclude that these non-perturbative contributions do not significantly modify the previous analysis of B → X_sl⁺l⁻.     

Diffusion of W on A W(211) plane

The diffusion of W on a (211) plane of a W field emitter has been re-examined by means of the fluctuation autocorrelation method. Diffusion along channels yielded E = 16.8 ± 0.5 kcal, D₀ = (3 ± 1) × 10⁻⁵ cm² s⁻¹. For diffusion across channels E =6.6 kcal, D₀ = 4 × 10⁻⁹cm² s⁻¹ at T < 752 K, and E = 24 kcal, D₀ = 5 × 10⁻⁴ cm² s⁻¹ at T > 752 K. The results for diffusion along channels yield E and D₀ values intermediate between recent results by Wang and Ehrlich [Surf. Sci. 206 (1988) 451] using field ion microscopy (E = 19 kcal, D₀ = 7.7 × 10⁻³ cm² s⁻¹) and Tringides and Gomer [J. Chem. Phys. 84 (1986) 4049], using the same method as the present work but a larger slit (E = 13.3 kcal, D₀ = 7 × 10⁻⁷ cm² s⁻¹). The results for cross channel diffus good agreement with those of Tringides and Gomer below 752 K, where these authors stopped. The new high temperature results suggest that the channel wall exchange mechanism postulated by Tringides and Gomer for cross channel diffusion at low T gives way to diffusion by climbing over the channel walls with higher E but also higher D₀ above 752 K. Possible reasons for the discrepancies between these three sets of results and the absence of cross channel diffusion in the work of Wang and Ehrlich are briefly discussed.     

NLL corrections for B-meson radiative exclusive decays

We calculate the next-to-leading corrections to the branching ratio of exclusive B→K^*γ decay. The renormalization scale dependence is reduced compared to the leading logarithmic result but there remains a dependence on a cutoff parameter of the hadronic model. The calculated corrections increase the predicted branching ratio by about 10%, but it remains in agreement with the experimental value.     

Gluon condensate from superconvergent QCD sum rule

Sum rules for the nonperturbative piece of correlators (specifically, the vector current correlator) are discussed. The sum rule subtracting the perturbative part is of the superconvergent type. Thus it is dominated by the bound states and the low-energy production cross section. It leads to a determination of the gluon condensate _sG². We find _sG²0.048±0.030 GeV⁴.

N=2 6-dimensional supersymmetric E6 breaking

We study the N=2 supersymmetric E₆ models on the 6-dimensional space–time where the supersymmetry and gauge symmetry can be broken by the discrete symmetry. On the space–time M⁴×S¹/(Z₂×Z₂′)×S¹/(Z₂×Z₂′), for the zero modes, we obtain the 4-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric models with gauge groups SU(3)×SU(2)×SU(2)×U(1)², SU(4)×SU(2)×SU(2)×U(1), and SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)³ with one extra pair of Higgs doublets from the vector multiplet. In addition, considering that the extra space manifold is the annulus A² and disc D², we list all the constraints on constructing the 4-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)³ models for the zero modes, and give the simplest model with Z₉ symmetry. We also comment on the extra gauge symmetry breaking and its generalization.     

Investigation on the Cs 6S1/2 to 7D electric quadrupole transition via monochromatic two-photon process at 767 nm

We experimentally demonstrate the cesium electric quadrupole transition from the 6S_1/2 ground state to the 7D_3/2,5/2 excited state through a virtual level by using a single laser at 767 nm. The excited state energy level population is characterized by varying the laser power, the temperature of the vapor, and the polarization combinations of the laser beams. The optimized experimental parameters are obtained for a high resolution transition interval identification. The magnetic dipole coupling constant A and electric quadrupole coupling constant B for the 7D_3/2,5/2 states are precisely determined by using the hyperfine levels intervals. The results, A = 7.39 (0.06) MHz, B = −0.19 (0.18) MHz for the 7D_3/2 state, and A = −1.79 (0.05) MHz, B =1.05 (0.29) MHz for the 7D_5/2 state, are in good agreement with the previous reported results. This work is beneficial for the determination of atomic structure information and parity non-conservation, which paves the way for the field of precision measurements and atomic physics.
