It has recently been pointed out that a new class of subleading shape functions involving B-meson matrix elements of non-local four-quark operators contributes at order
to
decay distributions in the endpoint region. The corresponding functions
and
are estimated using the vacuum-insertion approximation. A numerical analysis of various
decay spectra suggests that these power corrections are very small, below present theoretical uncertainties due to other
subleading shape-function contributions.

We discuss the angular distribution of the lepton pair in the Drell-Yan process,
. This process gives information on the spin-density matrix
of the annihilating quark-antiquark pair in
. There is strong experimental evidence that even for unpolarised initial hadrons
is non-trivial, and therefore the quark-antiquark system is polarised. We discuss the possibilities of a general
- which could be entangled - and a factorising
. We argue that instantons may lead to a non-trivial
of the type indicated by experiments.Received: 6 December 2004, Published online: 9 February 2005 相似文献

The production of
, D0, D + , Ds + and
charm hadrons and their antiparticles in e p scattering at HERA was measured with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of
. The measurement has been performed in the photoproduction regime with the exchanged-photon virtuality
and for photon-proton centre-of-mass energies in the range
. The charm hadrons were reconstructed in the range of transverse momentum
and pseudorapidity
. The production cross sections were used to determine the ratio of neutral and charged D-meson production rates,
, the strangeness-suppression factor,
, and the fraction of charged D mesons produced in a vector state,
. The measured
and
values agree with those obtained in deep inelastic scattering and in e + e- annihilations. The measured
value is smaller than, but consistent with, the previous measurements. The fractions of c quarks hadronising as a particular charm hadron,
, were derived in the given kinematic range. The measured open-charm fragmentation fractions are consistent with previous
results, although the measured
is smaller and
is larger than those obtained in e + e- annihilations. These results generally support the hypothesis that fragmentation proceeds independently of the hard sub-process.

In this paper, preliminary results are presented on high
inclusive neutral pion measurements in d-Au collisions at
GeV in the pseudo-rapidity range
. Photons from the decay
are detected in the Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter of the STAR experiment at RHIC. The analysis of this first BEMC hadron
measurement is described in detail. The results are compared to earlier RHIC findings. Furthermore, the obtained
invariant differential cross sections show good agreement with next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculations.

A study of Z-boson pair production in e + e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 190 GeV and 209 GeV is reported. Final states containing only leptons, (
and
), quark and lepton pairs, (
,
) and only hadrons (
) are considered. In all states with at least one Z boson decaying hadronically, lifetime, lepton and event-shape tags are used to separate
pairs from
final states. Limits on anomalous ZZ
and ZZZ couplings are derived from the measured cross sections and from event kinematics using an optimal observable method. Limits on low scale gravity with large extra dimensions are derived from the cross sections and their dependence on polar angle.Received: 14 July 2003, Published online: 18 December 2003 相似文献

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,

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
have been measured.Received: 18 February 2004, Revised: 30 April 2004, Published online: 15 June 2004 相似文献

The ZEUS inclusive differential cross-section data from HERA, for charged and neutral current processes taken with e + and e- beams, together with differential cross-section data on inclusive jet production in e + p scattering and dijet production in
scattering, have been used in a new NLO QCD analysis to extract the parton distribution functions of the proton. The input of jet-production data constrains the gluon and allows an accurate extraction of

We provide standard model expectations for the rare radiative decays
,
and
, and the electroweak penguin decays
and
at the next-to-leading order (NLO), extending our previous results to
transitions. We consider branching fractions, isospin asymmetries and direct CP asymmetries. For the electroweak penguin decays, the lepton-invariant mass spectrum and forward-backward asymmetry is also included. Radiative and electroweak penguin transitions in
are mainly interesting in the search for new flavor-changing neutral current interactions, but in addition the
decays provide constraints on the CKM parameters
. The potential impact of these constraints is discussed.Received: 16 January 2005, Published online: 16 March 2005

Processes of the form pp → anything → XiXj →
+
+ notE are studied via a technique that may be viewed as an adaptation of time-honoured Dalitz plot analyses. Xi and Xj are new heavy states (with i, j =1, . . .,n), which may be identical or distinct; and
and
are necessarily distinct standard model (SM) fermion pairs whose invariant masses can be measured. A Dalitz-like plot of
said invariant masses,
versus
, exhibits a topology connected to the masses and specific decay chains of Xi and Xj. Aside from relatively minor details, observed patterns consist of a collection of box and wedge shapes. This collection
is model-dependent: comparison of the observed pattern to the possibilities for a specific model yields information on which
new particle pair combinations are actually being produced, information beyond that extractable from conventional one-dimensional
invariant mass distributions. The technique is illustrated via application to the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM)
process pp →
→ e+e- + μ+μ- notE. Here the heavy states are neutralinos
(i = 2,3,4) - note that
is excluded - which are produced in gluino/squark (
/
) cascade decay chains. Even with fairly modest expectations for the LHC performance during the first few years, this method
still provides substantial insight into the neutralino mass spectrum and couplings if gluino/squark masses are relatively
low (≃ 400 GeV).

A search for lepton-flavor-violating interactions
and
has been performed with the ZEUS detector using the entire HERA I data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity
of
. The data were taken at center-of-mass energies,
, of 300 and
. No evidence of lepton-flavor violation was found, and constraints were derived on leptoquarks (LQs) that could mediate such
interactions. For LQ masses below
, limits were set on
, where
is the coupling of the LQ to an electron and a first-generation quark q1, and
is the branching ratio of the LQ to the final-state lepton
(μ or
) and a quark q. For LQ masses much larger than
, limits were set on the four-fermion interaction term
for LQs that couple to an electron and a quark
and to a lepton
and a quark
, where
and
are quark generation indices. Some of the limits are also applicable to lepton-flavor-violating processes mediated by squarks
in R-Parity-violating supersymmetric models. In some cases, especially when a higher-generation quark is involved and for the
process
, the ZEUS limits are the most stringent to date.

We present a lattice QCD determination of the chiral quark condensate based on a new method. We extract the quark condensate from the operator product expansion of the quark propagator at short euclidean distances, where it represents the leading contribution in the chiral limit.

Upper limits on the cross-section of the pair-production process
, assuming 100
branching fraction to hadrons, are derived from a new search for the
hadrons final state, independently of the hadronic flavour of the decay products. This study, combined with previously published searches for the neutral Higgs bosons h0 and A0, is used to constrain the Type II Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM(II)) with no CP violation in the Higgs sector and no additional non-Standard Model particles besides the five Higgs bosons. The analysis combines LEP1 and LEP2 data collected with the OPAL detector up to the highest available centre-of-mass energies. The searches are sensitive to the
and
decay modes of the Higgs bosons. A benchmark scan of the 2HDM(II) parameter space is performed. Large regions of the 2HDM(II) parameter space explored are excluded at the 95% CL in the (
and

Di-jet production is studied in collisions of quasi-real photons at e + e- centre-of-mass energies
from 189 to 209 GeV at LEP. The data were collected with the OPAL detector. Jets are reconstructed using an inclusive
-clustering algorithm for all cross-section measurements presented. A cone jet algorithm is used in addition to study the different structure of the jets resulting from either of the algorithms. The inclusive di-jet cross-section is measured as a function of the mean transverse energy
of the two leading jets, and as a function of the estimated fraction of the photon momentum carried by the parton entering the hard sub-process,
