Determination of the resonant parameters of excited vector strangenia with e+e-→ηφ data

We determine the resonant parameters of the vector states φ(1680) and φ(2170) by performing a combined fit to the e⁺e^-→ηφ cross sections from the threshold to 2.85 GeV measured by the BaBar,Belle,BESⅢ,and CMD-3 experiments.The mass(1678_-3⁺⁵±7) MeV/c² and width(156±5±9) MeV are obtained for φ(1680),and the mass(2169±5±6)MeV/c² and width(96_-14⁺¹⁷±9)MeV are obtained for φ(2170).The statistical significance ofφ(2...     

Lepton Flavor Violating Decays τ → μM in the 331 Model

Considering the experimental constraints on the free parameters of the 331 model with a leptonic sector consistent of five triplets, we investigate the lepton flavor violation(LFV) tau decays τ→μM with M = P and V,where P and V denote a pseudoscalar meson(π, η or η′) and a vector meson(ρ0, ω or φ), respectively. We find that the contributions of the 331 model to the LFV decays τ→μM mainly come from the new neutral gauge boson Z′. The 331 model considered in this paper can not make the values of the branching ratio Br(τ→μM) approach the corresponding experimental upper limits.     

Molecular Nature of X(3872) in B0→ K0X (3872) and B+→ K+X (3872) Decays

We investigate the decays of B⁰→ K⁰X(3872) and B⁺→ K⁺X(3872) based on the picture where the X(3872) resonance is strongly coupled to the ■+ c.c. channel. In addition to the decay mechanism where the X(3872) resonance is formed from the ■ pair hadronization with the short-distance interaction, we have also considered the ■ rescattering diagrams in the long-distance scale, where D and ■ are formed from c and ■ separately. Because of the difference of the...     

Direct CP violation in B(s)→J/ψP(V)

In the framework of factorization, we study direct CP violation in the decays of B_(s)→J/ψP(V) (P(V) refer to the pseudoscalar (vector) meson). The CP violation depends strongly on Cabibbo-Kobayashi- Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and the effective parameter, N_c. The recent experimental data for the branching ratios of B_(s)→J/ψP(V) are accurate enough and we can give a strong constraint on the range of N_c. We nd that the CP violating asymmetry is consistent with the available experiment values for the b→d transition, and a little smaller than the b→s transition. We also predict the CP violation of other decay channels for B_(s)→J/ψP(V). We expect our results can give valuable guidance for experiments.     

Study of parity violation in Λc+→φp and Λc+→ωp decays

CP violation in baryonic decays has not been significantly observed.With large data events accumulated a te⁺e^- colliders or the Large Hadron Collider,charmed baryon decays would provide a promising laboratory to test CP symmetry.In this study,we formulate Λ_c⁺→φp and Λ_c⁺→ωp decays for the measurement of their asymmetry parameters in weak decays at the BESIII or LHCb experiments.The polarization transfer is analyzed in the two proce...     

Cross sections for inelastic K+φ scattering

In the first Born approximation,we study the reactions Kφ→πK,ρK,πK^*,and ρK^* with quark-antiquark annihilation and creation.Transition amplitudes are derived with the development in the spherical harmonics of the relative-motion wave functions of two initial mesons and two final mesons so that parity is conserved and the total angular momentum of the final mesons equals that of the initial mesons.Unpolarized cross sections are calculated from the transition amplitudes that a...     

Pure annihilation type decays B0→Ds- （K2*）+ and Bs →a2 in the perturbative QCD approach

We calculate the branching ratios of pure annihilation type decays B 0 →D_s^- （K₂^*）⁺ and Bs → a₂ using the perturbative QCD approach based on k T factorization. The branching ratios are predicted to be （60.6 +17.3+4.3+3.2 16.5 10.4 2.1 ）× 10^-6 for B⁰ →D_s^- （K₂^*）⁺ , （1.1 +0.4+0.1+0.1-0.4-0.2-0.1 ）×10-6 for Bs → ⁰a₂⁰ and （2.3 +0.8+0.2+0.1-0.8-0.4-0.1 ）×10-6 for Bs→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 to search for a signal of new physics.     

Probing new physics in B → J/ψπ~0 decay

We calculate the branching ratio of B → J/ψπ0 with a mixed formalism that combines the QCDimproved factorization and the perturbative QCD approaches.The result is consistent with experimental data.The quite small penguin contribution in B → J/ψπ0 decay can be calculated with this method.We suggest two methods to extract the weak phase β.One is through the dependence of the mixing induced CP asymmetry SJ/ψπ0 on the weak phase β,the other is from the relation of the total asymmetry ACP with the weak phase β.Our results show that the deviation ΔSJ/ψπ0 of the mixing induced CP asymmetry from sin（-2β） is of O（10-3） and has much less uncertainty.The above O（10-3） deviation can provide a good reference for identifying new physics.     

Further insights into the “ρπ puzzle”

Based on a systematic investigation of J/ψ(ψ) → VP,where V and P stand for light vector and pseudoscalar mesons,we identify the role played by the electromagnetic(EM) transitions and intermediate meson loop transitions,which are essential ingredients for understanding the J/ψ and ψ couplings to VP.We show that on the one hand,the EM transitions have relatively larger interferences in ψ→ρπ and K*K+c.c.as explicitly shown by vector meson dominance(VMD).On the other hand,the strong decay of ψ receives relatively larger destructive interferences from the intermediate meson loop transitions.By identifying these mechanisms in an overall study of J/ψ(ψ)→VP,we provide a coherent understanding of the so-called "ρπ puzzle".     

Effects of vector leptoquarks onΛb→Λ,lv^-l decay

Experimental data on R(D⁺).R(K⁺),and R(J/ψ),provided by different collaborations,show sizable deviations from the standard model predictions.To describe these anomalies,many new physics scenarios have been proposed.One of them is the leptoquark model,which introduces the simultaneous coupling of vector and scalar leptoquarks to quarks and leptons.To look for similar possible anomalies in the baryonic sector,we investigate the effects of a vector leptoquark U3(3,3,2/3)on various physical quantities related to the tree-levelΛb→Λclv^-l decays(l=u,t),which proceed via b→c l v^-l transiti ons at the quark level.We calculate the differential branching ratio,forward-backward asymmetry,and longitudinal polarizations of leptons and Ac baryons at theμandτlepton channels in the leptoquark model and compare their behavior to the predictions of the SM in terms of q^2.In the calculations,we use the form factors calculated in full QCD as the main input and account for all errors coming from the form factors and model parameters.We observe that at theτchanneL the Ra fit solution to data related to the leptoquark model sweeps some regions out of the SM band;nevertheless,the fit has a considerable intersection with the SM predictions.The Rr type solution gives roughly the same results as the SM on DBR(q^2)-q^2.At theμchannel.the leptoquark model gives results that are consistent with the SM predictions and existing experimental data on the behavior of DBR(q^2)with respect to q^2.Concerning the q^2 behavior of the AFB(q^2),the two types of fits forτand the predictions at the“channel in the leptoquark model give exactly the same results as the SM.We also investigate the behavior of the parameter R(q^2)with respect to q^2 and the value of R(Λc)in both the vector leptoquark and SM models.Both fit solutions lead to results that deviate considerably from the SM predictions for R(q^2)-q^2 and R(Ac).Future experimental data on R(q^2)-q^2 and RC made available by measurements of theΛb→Λcτv^-τchannel,will be particularly helpful.Any experimental deviations from the SM predictions in this channel would emphasize the im porta nee of tree-level hadronic weak tran sitions as good probes of new physics effects beyond the SM.     

Anomalous tqγ Couplings and Radiative B Meson Decays

Motivated by the recent ATLAS results in terms of the branching ratios Br(t→qγ),we consider the effects of the anomalous tqγ couplings on the radiative B meson decays ■→X_Dγ and B→V_γ with V being light vector mesons ρ,ω,φ and K^*.Comparing with the corresponding experimental measured data,we obtain the constraints on anomalous tqγ couplings.     

First extraction of the proton mass radius and scattering length |αρ0p|from ρ0 photoproduction

As it involves the lightest physical states excited from the vacuum by the vector quark current,near-threshold ρ⁰ photoproduction is considered a possible way to research the proton radius and the absolute value of the scattering lengths of the ρ⁰-proton interaction.In this study,under the assumption of a scalar form factor of dipole form,the value of the proton mass radius is calculated as(0.85±0.06) fm by fitting the differential cross section of the γp→ρ⁰p rea...

Study of the η’→Ve~+e~- decay with hidden local symmetry model

Within the hidden local symmetry framework, the Dalitz decay η→Ve+e-is studied with the vector meson dominance model. It is found that the partial width Γ(η→ωe+e-)≈40 e V and branching ratio B(η→ωe+e-)≈2×10-4, and Γ(η→ρe+e-)≈10Γ(η→ωe+e-) and B(η→ρe+e-)≈10B(η→ωe+e-). The maximum position of the dilepton distribution is m e+e-≈1.33 Me V. These decays are measurable with the advent of high statistic ηexperiments.

Probing the CP violating Hγγ coupling using interferometry

The diphoton invariant mass distribution from the interference between gg→H→γγ and gg→γγ is almost antisymmetric around the Higgs mass MH.We propose a new observable Aint,the ratio of the sign-reversed integral around MH(e.g.■)and the cross-section of the Higgs signal,to quantify this effect.We study Aint both in the Standard Model(SM)and new physics with various CP violating Hγγ couplings.Aint in SM could reach a value of 10%,while for CP violating Hyy coupling Aint could range from 10% to-10%,which could probably be detected in the HL-LHC experiments.Aint with both CP violating Hγγ and Hgg couplings is also studied,and its range of values is found to be slightly larger.     

Supersymmetric contributions to B_s → K~-π~＋ decay

Recently,the CDF Collaboration has measured the branching fraction and time-integrated direct CP asymmetry of Bs → K-π＋ decay.The branching ratio is lower than the previous predictions based on QCD factorization.The experimental results favor a large CP asymmetry in Bs → K-π＋ decay while the standard model prediction is very small.We compute the supersymmetry contributions to Bs → K-π＋ decay using the mass insertion method,and find that the LR and RL mass insertions could suppress this branching ratio and increase this direct CP asymmetry well in line with the experimental data.     

Revisiting the Kπ puzzle in the pQCD factorization approach

In this paper,we calculated the branching ratios and direct CP violation of the four B→Kπ decays with the inclusion of all currently known next-to-leading order(NLO) contributions by employing the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach.We found that(a) Besides the 10%enhancement from the NLO vertex corrections,the quark-loops and magnetic penguins,the NLO contributions to the form factors can provide an additional~15%enhancement to the branching ratios,and lead to a very good agreement with the data;(b) The NLO pQCD predictions are A_(CP)~(dir)(B~0→K~+π~0)=(-6.5±3.1)%and A_(CP)~(dir)(B~+→K~+π~0)=(2.2±2.0)%,become well consistent with the data due to the inclusion of the NLO contributions.     

Further insights into the ＂ρπ puzzle＂

Based on a systematic investigation of J/ψ（ψ＇）→VP, where V and P stand for light vector and pseudoscalar mesons, we identify the role played by the electromagnetic （EM） transitions and intermediate meson loop transitions, which are essential ingredients for understanding the J/ψ and ψ＇ couplings to VP. We show that on the one hand, the EM transitions have relatively larger interferences in ψ＇→ρπ and K^＊^-K ＋c.c. as explicitly shown by vector meson dominance （VMD）. On the other hand, the strong decay of ψ＇ receives relatively larger destructive interferences from the intermediate meson loop transitions. By identifying these mechanisms in an overall study of J/ψ（ψ＇） → VP, we provide a coherent understanding of the so-called ＂ρπ puzzle＂.
