Nuclear spin effect on recombination of H₃⁺ ions with electrons at 77 K

Utilizing different ratios of para to ortho H? in normal and para enriched hydrogen, we varied the population of para-H?? in an H?? dominated plasma at 77 K. Absorption spectroscopy was used to measure the densities of the two lowest rotational states of H??. Monitoring plasma decays at different populations of para-H?? allowed us to determine the rate coefficients for binary recombination of para-H?? and ortho-H?? ions: (p)α(bin)(77 K) = (1.9 ± 0.4) × 10?? cm3 s?1 and (o)α(bin)(77 K) = (0.2 ± 0.2) × 10?? cm3 s?1.

Determination of f(s)/f(d) for 7 TeV pp collisions and measurement of the B0→D-K+ branching fraction

The relative abundance of the three decay modes B(0)→D(-)K(+), B(0)→D(-)π(+), and B(s)(0)→D(s)(-)π(+) produced in 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC is determined from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb(-1). The branching fraction of B(0)→D(-)K(+) is found to be B(B(0)→D(-)K(+)) = (2.01 ± 0.18(stat) ± 0.14(syst)) × 10(-4). The ratio of fragmentation fractions f(s)/f(d) is determined through the relative abundance of B(s)(0)→D(s)(-)π(+) to B(0)→D(-)K(+) and B(0)→D(-)π(+), leading to f(s)/f(d) = 0.253 ± 0.017 ± 0.017 ± 0.020, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and theoretical, respectively.     

Hadronic rapidity spectra in heavy ion collisions at SPS and AGS energies in a quark combination model

The quark combination mechanism of hadron production is applied to nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and the BNL Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS). The rapidity spectra of identified hadrons and their spectrum widths are studied. The data of π^-, K^±, φ, Λ, Λ, Ξ^- and Ξ⁺ at 80 and 40 A GeV, and in particular at 30 and 20 A GeV where the onset of deconfinement is suggested to happen, are consistently described by the quark combination model. However, at AGS 11.6 A GeV below the onset, the π^±, K^± and Λ spectra cannot be simultaneously explained, indicating the disappearance of the intrinsic correlation of their production in the constituent quark level. The collision-energy dependence of the rapidity spectrum widths of the constituent quarks, and the strangeness of the hot and dense quark matter produced in heavy ion collisions, are obtained and discussed.     

Study of Exclusive Hadronic Decays for D0→Ks0π+π- and D0→Ks0K+K- and Their Resonant Structures

We report the results of an experimental study of the exclusive hadronic decays for D0→K0 sπ+π - and K 0 sK +K - and their resonant structures using BES-Ⅰ detector at the BEPC Collider. Using the data sample of 22.3 pb -1 collected at the center-of-mass energy s=4.03 GeV, we measured the branching fraction for D 0→K 0π +π - to be (5.32±0.53±0.40)%, the branching fractions for the decays D 0→ K *-π +, D 0→K 0ρ 0 and D 0→K 0(π +π -) non-resonant to be (6.05±0.32±0.49)%, (1.17±0.17±0.13)% and (1.35±0.22±0.17)%, respectively. We measured the branching fractions Br(D 0→f) to be (1.04±0.24± 0.16)% for f=K 0K +K -, (1.12±0.34±0.15)% for f=K0, and (0.27±0.13±0.03)% for f=K 0(K+K-)non-.     

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction study of phenacite at high pressure

We report the results of a natural phenacite from 0 to 30.9 GPa using in situ angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction and a diamond anvil cell at the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory. Over this pressure range, no phase change or disproportionation has been observed. The isothermal equation of state was determined. The values of V₀, K₀, and K₀′ refined with a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state are V₀=1116.1±1.2 ų, K₀=223±9 GPa, and K₀′=5.5±0.8. Furthermore, we confirm that the linear compressibilities (β) along a and c directions of phenacite are elastically isotropic (β_a=1.50×10^-3 and β_c=1.34×10^-3 GPa^-1). Consequently, it can be concluded that the compressibility of phenacite under high pressures has been accurately constrained.     

Observation of B(s)(0) → J/ψf(2)'(1525) in J/ψK+ K- final states

The decay B(s)(0) → J/ψK+ K- is investigated using 0.16 fb(-1) of data collected with the LHCb detector using 7 TeV pp collisions. Although the J/ψ? channel is well known, final states at higher K+ K- masses have not previously been studied. In the K+ K- mass spectrum we observe a significant signal in the f(2)'(1525) region as well as a nonresonant component. After subtracting the nonresonant component, we find B(B(s)(0) → J/ψf(2)'(1525))/B(B(s)(0) → J/ψ?) = (26.4 ± 2.7 ± 2.4)%.     

Recent results from NA48/2

Recent results on radiative K± decays from the NA48/2 experiment are reported.From the full NA48/2 data set,about a million K±→π±π0γ decays were reconstructed.Based on this sample,the first measurement of the interference between direct photon emission and inner bremsstrahlung in K±→π±π0γ decays was performed.Stringent limits on CP violation in this decay were also set.In addition,a precise measurement of the branching fraction of K±→π±γγ is presented.This measurement was based on a data sample of more than 1000 event candidates.Also the related decay K±→π±e+e-γ has first been observed.Results of the measurement of the decay rate and the decay parameter c are summarized.     

Search for CP violation in D± meson decays to ϕπ±

We search for CP violation in Cabibbo-suppressed charged D meson decays by measuring the difference between the CP-violating asymmetries for the Cabibbo-suppressed decays D(±)→K(+)K(-)π(±) and the Cabibbo-favored decays D(s)(±)→K(+)K(-)π(±) in the K(+)K(-) mass region of the ? resonance. Using 955 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector, we obtain A(CP)(D+→?π+)=(+0.51±0.28±0.05)%. The measurement improves the sensitivity of previous searches by more than a factor of 5. We find no evidence for direct CP violation.

高位K2(1Λg) 与基态原子的碰撞转移

在K原子密度约为0.5～5×1016cm-3的样品池中,脉冲激光710 nm线双光子激发K2基态到高位1Λg态,研究了K2(1Λg)+ K(4S)碰撞转移过程.K原子密度由测量KD2线蓝翼对白光的吸收得到.测量不同K密度下1Λg态发射的时间分辨荧光强度,它是一条指数衰减曲线,由此得到1Λg态的有效寿命,从描绘出的有效寿命倒数与K原子密度关系直线的斜率得到1Λg态总的碰撞猝灭截面为(2.1±0.2)×10-14cm2,从截距得到的辐射寿命为(22±2)ns.测量了K的6S →4P3/2和4D→4P3/2在不同K密度下的时间积分荧光强度,得到了K2(1Λg)+K→K2(11∑ +g)+K(6S,4D)碰撞转移截面为(1.5±0.3)×10-15cm2(对转移到6S)和(8.5±3.0)×10-15cm2(对转移到4D).     

Muonium emission into vacuum from mesoporous thin films at cryogenic temperatures

We report on muonium (Mu) emission into vacuum following μ(+) implantation in mesoporous thin SiO(2) films. We obtain a yield of Mu into vacuum of (38±4)% at 250 K and (20±4)% at 100 K for 5 keV μ(+) implantation energy. From the implantation energy dependence of the Mu vacuum yield we determine the Mu diffusion constants in these films: D(Mu)(250 K)=(1.6±0.1)×10(-4) cm(2)/s and D(Mu)(100 K)=(4.2±0.5)×10(-5) cm(2)/s. Describing the diffusion process as quantum mechanical tunneling from pore to pore, we reproduce the measured temperature dependence ～T(3/2) of the diffusion constant. We extract a potential barrier of (-0.3±0.1) eV which is consistent with our computed Mu work function in SiO(2) of [-0.3,-0.9] eV. The high Mu vacuum yield, even at low temperatures, represents an important step toward next generation Mu spectroscopy experiments.     

Measurement of Production Cross Section of Ds+Ds－ in e+e－ Annihilation at the Center-of-Mass Energy of s=4.03GeV

Measurement of the production cross section of the D+s D- s in e+e- annihilation at the Center-of-Mass Energy of s=4.03 GeV is reported in the paper. The cross section for the D+s D- s production has been measured using a data sample of 22.3 pb^－1 collected with BES detector at BEPC e+e- collider. The D+ s measons are reconstructed in the π+,K*0 K+ and K0K+ decay modes. A total number of 94±13 singly tagged D+ s events is obtained from the three modes. This yelds the cross section value σ prod D+s D－ s=(451±63±118)pb for D+ s D－ s production. Based on the numbers of singly tagged D+ s events for each of the three decay modes,the decay branching fractions for D+ s→K *0 K+ and K0K+ have been determined to be (3.02±0.94±0.91)% and (3.28±1.22±0.94)%,respectively.     

Peak effect and oxygen ordering in YBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystals

We have investigated the second magnetization peak in pure YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ single crystals with various oxygen contents (6.91<7−δ<6.97) and degrees of oxygen vacancy ordering, as achieved by low (1 bar) and high (100 bar) oxygen pressure annealing. Although the position of the peak changes drastically with oxygen stoichiometry, no dependence on the distribution of oxygen vacancies has been found for temperatures below 70 K. For T>70 K, however, ordering effects become important as demonstrated by the disappearance of the peak for the high pressure annealed samples. These results suggest that while at low temperatures, pinning of the vortex system by clusters or a more homogeneous distribution of oxygen vacancies is similar, at elevated T, the former are much stronger pinning sites leading to larger hysteresis and the presence of the peak.     

Observation of X(3872)→J/ψγ and search for X(3872)→ψ'γ in B decays

We report a study of B→(J/ψγ)K and B→(ψ'γ)K decay modes using 772×10? B ?B events collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e(+)e(-) collider. We observe X(3872)→J/ψγ and report the first evidence for χ(c2)→J/ψγ in B→(X_{c ?cγ)K decays, while in a search for X(3872)→ψ'γ no significant signal is found. We measure the branching fractions, B(B(±)→X(3872)K(±))B(X(3872)→J/ψγ)=(1.78(-0.44)(+0.48)±0.12)×10(-6), B(B(±)→χ(c2)K(±))=(1.11(-0.34)(+0.36)±0.09)×10(-5), B(B(±)→X(3872)K(±))B(X(3872)→ψ'γ)<3.45×10?

We report measurements of direct CP-violating asymmetries in charmless decays of neutral bottom hadrons to pairs of charged hadrons with the upgraded Collider Detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using a data sample corresponding to 1 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity, we obtain the first measurements of direct CP violation in bottom strange mesons, A(CP)(B(s)(0)→K(-)π(+))=+0.39±0.15(stat)±0.08(syst), and bottom baryons, A(CP)(Λ(b)(0)→pπ(-))=+0.03±0.17(stat)±0.05(syst) and A(CP)(Λ(b)(0)→pK(-))=+0.37±0.17(stat)±0.03(syst). In addition, we measure CP violation in B(0)→K(+)π(-) decays with 3.5σ significance, A(CP)(B(0)→K(+)π(-))=-0.086±0.023(stat)±0.009(syst), in agreement with the current world average. Measurements of branching fractions of B(s)(0)→K(+)K(-) and B(0)→π(+)π(-) decays are also updated.
