Reanalysis of the Z_c(4020), Z_c(4025), Z(4050) and Z(4250) as Tetraquark States with QCD Sum Rules

In this article, we calculate the contributions of the vacuum condensates up to dimension-10 in the operator product expansion, and study the C γμ- Cγνtype scalar, axial-vector and tensor tetraquark states in details with the QCD sum rules. In calculations, we use the formula μ = (M 2X/ Y /Z-(2Mc)2)~(1/2) to determine the energy scales of the QCD spectral densities. The predictions MJ =2=(4.02+0.09-0.09) GeV, MJ =1=(4.02+0.07-0.08) GeV favor assigning the Zc(4020) and Zc(4025) as the JP C= 1+-or 2++diquark-antidiquark type tetraquark states, while the prediction M++J =0=(3.85+0.15-0.09) GeV disfavors assigning the Z(4050) and Z(4250) as the JP C= 0diquark-antidiquark type tetraquark states. Furthermore, we discuss the strong decays of the 0++, 1+-, 2++diquark-antidiquark type tetraquark states in details.     

Revisiting the Twist-3 Distribution Amplitudes of K Meson Within the QCD Background Field Approach

In the present paper, we investigate the kaon twist-3 distribution amplitudes (DAs) φ_p,σ^K within the QCD background field approach. The SU_f(3)-breaking effects are studied in detail under a systematical way, especially the sum rules for the moments of φ_p,σ^K are obtained by keeping all the mass terms in the s-quark propagator consistently. After adding all the uncertainties in quadrature, the first two Gegenbauler moments of φ_p,σ^K are a_K,p¹ (1 GeV) = -0.376_-0.148^+0.103, a_K,p²(1 GeV) = 0.701_-0.491^+0.481, a_K,σ¹ (1 GeV) = -0.160_-0.074^+0.051, and a_K,σ²(1 GeV) = 0.369_-0.149^+0.163, respectively. Their normalization parameters μ_K^p|1 m GeV = 1.188_-0.043^+0.039 GeV and μ_K^σ|1 m GeV = 1.021_-0.055^+0.036 GeV. A detailed discussion on the properties of φ_p,σ^K moments shows that the higher-order s-quark mass terms can indeed provide sizable contributions. Furthermore, based on the newly obtained moments, a model for the kaon twist-3 wavefunction Ψ_p,σ^K(x,k⊥) with a better end-point behavior is constructed, which shall be useful for perturbative QCD calculations. As a byproduct, we make a discussion on the properties of the pion twist-3 DAs.

Next-to-leading order QCD and electroweak corrections to Higgs-strahlung processes at the LHC

In this paper we calculate the total and fiducial cross sections as well as differential distributions for the Higgs-strahlung or VH process pp→VH→lv1/1~-1~++H,(V = W or Z, 1=e, μ) including QCD and electro-weak corrections up to next-to-leading order before and after reweighting photon PDFs of NNPDF2.3 qed, NNPDF3.0 qed,MRST2004 qed, CT14 QEDinc, and LUXqed at the LHC with 13 TeV and Higgs boson mass MH = 125 GeV. The predictions from the various photon PDFs before and after reweighting against each other are in good agreement.The photon PDF uncertainties of the photon-induced cross sections decrease significantly with the reweighting PDFs.

Search for heavy sterile neutrinos in trileptons at the LHC

We present a search strategy for both Dirac and Majorana sterile neutrinos from the purely leptonic decays of W~±→e~±e~±μ~?ν and μ~±μ~± e~?ν at the 14 TeV LHC. The discovery and exclusion limits for sterile neutrinos are shown using both the Cut-and-Count(CC) and Multi-Variate Analysis(MVA) methods. We also discriminate between Dirac and Majorana sterile neutrinos by exploiting a set of kinematic observables which differ between the Dirac and Majorana cases. We find that the MVA method, compared to the more common CC method, can greatly enhance the discovery and discrimination limits. Two benchmark points with sterile neutrino mass m N =20 GeV and 50 GeV are tested. For an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb~(-1), sterile neutrinos can be found with 5σ significance if heavy-to-light neutrino mixings |U_(Ne)|~2~|U_(Nμ)|~2~10~(-6), while Majorana vs. Dirac discrimination can be reached if at least one of the mixings is of order 10~(-5).     

Recent results on particle production from silicon emulsion interactions at 14.6A GeV

A comparative study of results obtained from the interactions of 14.6A GeV ²⁸Si in nuclear emulsion is presented. In this work the experimental data serve as one of the decisive signature of quark–gluon plasma formation. The data for 200 and 400 proton-emulsion interactions are used to investigate the assumption which consider interaction of ²⁸Si-Em at 14.6A GeV is such that for a proton with total energy corresponding to that for effective number of interacting nucleons (12.6×14.6=175) or as a proton having the total energy of ²⁸Si (i.e., 28×14.6=409 GeV). It is also shown that the relativistic quantum molecular dynamics model nicely predicts the multiplicities and correlations of shower and grey particles in the interactions of ²⁸Si with emulsion nuclei at 14.6A GeV.     

Charged Higgs Pair Production in a General Two Higgs Doublet Model at e^＋e^- and μ^＋μ^- Linear Colliders

In this paper, charged Higgs pair production through l^＋l^- → H^＋ H^-, where l = e or μ, is studied within the framework of a general Two Higgs Doublet Model （2HDM）. The analysis is relevant to a future e^＋e^- or μ^＋ μ^- collider operating at center of mass energy of √s = 500 GeV. Two different scenarios of small and large a values are studied. Here a is the parameter, which diagonMizes the neutral CP-even Higgs boson mass matrix. Within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model （MSSM）, cross section of this process is almost the same at e＋ e- and #＋#- colliders. It is shown that at e^＋e^- eolliders within a general 2HDM, cross section is not sensitive to the mass of neutral Higgs bosons, however, it can acquire large values up to several picobarn at μ^＋μ^- colliders with the presence of heavy neutral Higgs bosons. A scan over Higgs boson mass parameter space is performed to analyze the effect of large masses of neutral Higgs bosons involved in the s-channel propagator and thus in the total cross section of this process.     

Flavor- and CP-violating physics from new supersymmetric thresholds

Treating the minimal supersymmetric standard model as an effective theory, we study the implications of having dimension-five operators in the superpotential for flavor- and CP-violating processes, exploiting the linear decoupling of observable effects with respect to the new threshold scale c. We show that the assumption of weak-scale supersymmetry, when combined with the stringent limits on electric dipole moments and lepton-flavor-violating processes, provides sensitivity to Lambda as high as 10(7)-10(9) GeV (and up to 10(17) GeV through the theta term), while the next generation of experiments could directly probe the high-energy scales suggested by neutrino physics.     

Masses of Heavy Fermions and Higgs Boson in Four-Generation Fermion Condensate Scheme

The renormalization group analyses based on low-energy effective Lagrangian indicate that a model of electroweak symmetry breaking of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio(NJL)-type by full four-generation quark-lepton condensates could accommodate itself to the topquark mass ~ 174 GeV for the acceptable momentum cutoff Λ ~ 10⁶ ~ 5 × 10³ GeV. The fourth generation of quarks will have masses in the region 228 ~ 366 GeV. The corresponding lep tons will have masses in the region 110 ~ 246 GeV and can be heavier than the top quark only if Λ ≤ 2.5 × 10⁴ GeV. The mass of the Higgs boson is predicted to be in the region 287 ~ 481 GeV which could provide an important experimental test of thf model.     

The Rare DecayK+ →π+vv and Effects of Charged Technipions

In this paper we calculate the contributions to the FCNC rare decay from the charged technipion P^± and P₈^± in the frarnervork of technicolor theory. We find that: (a) P^± can provide a positive but relatively small contribution to the process; (b) the contribution is large and positive for relatively light P₈^± and becomes negative for m_p8 ≥ 531 GeV; (c) the enhancement to the ratio BR() can be as large as a factor of 30 for m_p1 = 50 GeV and m_p8 = 100 GeV; (d) the lower mass bound on m_p8 is m_p8 > 220,190 GeV for m_p1 = 50,200 GeV, respectively     

改进的PNJL模型下QCD的相图

Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio（PNJL）模型是研究强相互作用物质性质的使用最为广泛的有效模型之一。在PNJL模型的基础上考虑了手征凝聚和Polyakov圈之间的纠缠作用,并且引入了化学势修正的Polyakov有效势,由此得到了化学势依赖的entangled PNJL（μEPNJL）模型。在平均场框架下的计算结果表明:相较于原始的PNJL模型,由μEPNJL模型计算得到的临界点（CEP）朝着温度更高、化学势更小处移动,并且手征对称性恢复相变和退禁闭相变在较大的化学势范围内都重合得很好。通过与STAR合作组在相对论重离子对撞机（RHIC）上进行的净质子数分布的测量结果相比,可以发现,通过适当的参数调节,由μEPNJL模型计算得到的CEP更加靠近实验预言的CEP可能存在的区域。Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model is one of the most popular effective quark models to investigate the properties of strongly interacting matter. Based on the PNJL model, we consider the entanglement interactions between the chiral condensate and Polyakov-loop, as well as the chemical potential modification of Polyakov-loop potential simultaneously, which is named μEPNJL model. Compared with the original PNJL model, the calculations in the mean field approximation show that the critical end point (CEP) given in the μEPNJL model moves towards higher temperature and smaller chemical potential in the T-μ phase diagram. Besides, the chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement phase transition coincide well in a wide range of chemical potential. Comparing our calculations with the measurement of the moments of net-proton multiplicity distributions at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) by STAR Collaboration, we find that the CEP given by μEPNJL model can be closer to the range predicted by the experiment through appropriate parameter adjustment.     

The ideal resolution of a liquid xenon calorimeter

The energy and angular resolution of a liquid xenon calorimeter for gamma rays in the GeV region is studied by a Monte-Carlo simulation. For a size of (70 cm)³, the energy resolution becomes as good as 0.2 % (r.m.s) at 10 GeV. The angular resolution is order of 1° (median angle) at several GeV without using the pair converter separated from the main body of the calorimeter. An effective SΩ of 1 m²sr is attainable. These factors meet the conditions required for observation of line gamma rays emerging from the annihilation of a sort of hypothetical dark matter.     

Polarizations of J/psi and psi(2S) mesons produced in pp collisions at square root s = 1.96 TeV

We have measured the polarizations of J/psi and psi(2S) mesons as functions of their transverse momentum p(T) when they are produced promptly in the rapidity range |y| < 0.6 with p(T) > or =5 GeV/c. The analysis is performed using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of about 800 pb(-1) collected by the CDF II detector. For both vector mesons, we find that the polarizations become increasingly longitudinal as p(T) increases from 5 to 30 GeV/c. These results are compared to the predictions of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics and other contemporary models. The effective polarizations of J/psi and psi(2S) mesons from B-hadron decays are also reported.     

125 GeV Higgs,type III seesaw and gauge–Higgs unification

Recently, both the ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed an excess of events that could be the first evidence for a 125 GeV Higgs boson. This is a few GeV below the (absolute) vacuum stability bound on the Higgs mass in the Standard Model (SM), assuming a Planck mass ultraviolet (UV) cutoff. In this Letter, we study some implications of a 125 GeV Higgs boson for new physics in terms of the vacuum stability bound. We first consider the seesaw extension of the SM and find that in type III seesaw, the vacuum stability bound on the Higgs mass can be as low as 125 GeV for the seesaw scale around a TeV. Next we discuss some alternative new physics models which provide an effective ultraviolet cutoff lower than the Planck mass. An effective cutoff Λ?10¹¹ GeV$\Lambda ?{10}^{11}\text{GeV}$ leads to a vacuum stability bound on the Higgs mass of 125 GeV. In a gauge–Higgs unification scenario with five-dimensional flat spacetime, the so-called gauge–Higgs condition can yield a Higgs mass of 125 GeV, with the compactification scale of the extra-dimension being identified as the cutoff scale Λ?10¹¹ GeV$\Lambda ?{10}^{11}\text{GeV}$. Identifying the compactification scale with the unification scale of the SM SU(2) gauge coupling and the top quark Yukawa coupling yields a Higgs mass of 121±2 GeV$121\pm 2\text{GeV}$.     

The semi-constrained NMSSM in light of muon g-2,LHC,and dark matter constraints

The semi-constrained NMSSM(scNMSSM) extends the MSSM by a singlet field, and requires unification of the soft SUSY breaking terms in the squark and slepton sectors, while it allows that in the Higgs sector to be different. We try to interpret the muon g-2 in the sc NMSSM, under the constraints of 125 Ge V Higgs data, B physics,searches for low and high mass resonances, searches for SUSY particles at the LHC, dark matter relic density by WMAP/Planck, and direct searches for dark matter by LUX, XENON1T, and PandaX-II. We find that under the above constraints, the sc NMSSM can still(i) satisfy muon g-2 at 1σ level, with a light muon sneutrino and light chargino;(ii) predict a highly-singlet-dominated 95 GeV Higgs, with a diphoton rate as hinted at by CMS data,because of a light higgsino-like chargino and moderate λ;(iii) get low fine tuning from the GUT scale with smallμeff, M_0, M_(1/2), and A_0, with a lighter stop mass which can be as low as about 500 GeV, which can be further checked in future studies with search results from the 13 TeV LHC;(iv) have the lightest neutralino be singlino-dominated or higgsino-dominated, while the bino and wino are heavier because of high gluino bounds at the LHC and universal gaugino conditions at the GUT scale;(v) satisfy all the above constraints, although it is not easy for the lightest neutralino, as the only dark matter candidate, to get enough relic density. Several ways to increase relic density are discussed.     

Four pion final states with tagged photons at electron positron colliders

A Monte Carlo generator has been constructed to simulate the reaction , where the photon is assumed to be observed in the detector. Only initial state radiation is considered. Additional collinear photon radiation has been incorporated with the technique of structure functions. Predictions are presented for CMS energies of 1 GeV, 3 GeV and 10 GeV, corresponding to the energies of DANE, BEBC and of B-meson factories. The event rates are sufficiently high to allow for a precise measurement of in the region of Q between approximately 1 GeV and 2.5 GeV. For the construction of the program we employ isospin relations between the amplitudes governing decays into four pions and electron positron annihilation into four pions. Estimates of the kinematic breaking of these isospin relations as a consequence of the – mass difference are given.

Searching for the Higgs at SLC and lep

We compute the cross section for the process e⁺e⁻ →Hff as a function of Higgs boson mass and of center-of-mass energies of M_z and beyond. We conclude that searches for a Higgs of mass less than 50 GeV are far more effective when carried out near the Z boson resonance that at any higher energy. However, a new window of Higgs boson masses extending from 50–107 GeV can be explored if and when e⁺e⁻ collisions can be studied with high luminosity at collision energies of 200 GeV. Collider energies at intermediate energies can play no useful role in the search for the Higgs.     

Search for anomalous production of acoplanar di-lepton events in {\rm e^+e^-} collisions at \sqrt{s} = 183 and 189 GeV

A selection of di-lepton events with significant missing transverse momentum has been performed using a total data sample of 237.4 pb at centre-of-mass energies of approximately 183 GeV and 189 GeV. The observed numbers of events – 78 at 183 GeV and 301 at 189 GeV – are consistent with the numbers expected from Standard Model processes, which arise predominantly from production with both W bosons decaying leptonically. This topology is also an experimental signature for the pair production of new particles that decay to a charged lepton accompanied by one or more invisible particles. Discrimination techniques are described that optimise the sensitivity to particular new physics channels. No evidence for new phenomena is apparent. Upper limits on the production cross-section times branching ratio squared for sleptons and for leptonically decaying charginos and charged Higgs are presented in a manner intended to minimise the number of model assumptions. Assuming a 100% branching ratio for the decay , where is the lightest neutralino, we exclude at 95% CL: right-handed smuons with masses below 82.3 GeV for GeV and right-handed staus with masses below 81.0 GeV for GeV. Right-handed selectrons are excluded at 95% CL for masses below 87.1 GeV for GeV, within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model assuming GeV and . Charged Higgs bosons, H, are excluded at 95% CL for masses below 82.8 GeV, assuming a 100% branching ratio for the decay . Received: 6 September 1999 / Published online: 6 April 2000
