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.     

Role of hyperfine mixing in b→c semileptonic decays of doubly-heavy baryons

We analyze the effects of hyperfine mixing in b → c semileptonic decays of doubly heavy baryons.We qualitatively confirm the results by W.Roberts and M.Pervin in Int.J.Mod.Phys.A,2009,24： 2401– 2413,finding that mixing has a great impact on those transitions.However,predictions without mixing differ by a factor of 2 and this discrepancy translates to the mixed case where large differences in decay widths are observed between the two calculations.     

Beta decay of nuclide （56）Fe,（56）Co,（56）Ni,（56）Mn,（56）Cr and（56）V due to strong electron screening in stellar interiors

According to a new electron screening theory,we discuss the beta decay rates of nuclide 56Fe,56Co,56Ni,56Mn,56Cr and 56V with and without strong electron screening （SES）.The results show that SES has only a slight effect on the beta decay rates for ρ/μe 108 g/cm3.However the beta decay rates would be influenced greatly for ρ/μe 108 g/cm3.Due to SES,the maximum values of the C-factor （in %） on beta decay rates of 56Fe,56Co,56Ni,56Mn,56Cr and 56V is of the order of 95.03%,35.02%,98.05%,80.33%,98.30% and 98.71% at T9 = 4.0 and 98.83%,98.89%,99.65%,10.32%,4.10% and 40.21% at T9 = 7.0,respectively.     

Pseudoscalar mixing in J/ψ and ψ（2S）decay

Based on the branching fractions of J/ψ（ψ（2S））→ VP from different collaborations, pseudoscalar mixing is extensively discussed with a well established phenomenological model. The mixing angle is determined to be -14° by fitting to the new world average if only quark content is considered. After taking into account the gluonic content in η and η＇ simultaneously, the investigation shows that η favors only consisting of light quarks, while the gluonic content of η＇ is Z2η＇, = 0.30±0.24.     

Hadron molecules

We discuss a possible interpretation of the open charm mesons D＊s0 （2317）,D s1 （2460） and the hidden charm mesons X（3872）,Y（3940） and Y（4140） as hadron molecules.Using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach we review the strong and radiative decays of the D＊ s0 （2317） and D s1 （2460） states.The X（3872） is assumed to consist dominantly of molecular hadronic components with an additional small admixture of a charmonium configuration.Determing the radiative （γJ/ψ and γψ（2s）） and strong （J/ψ2π and J/ψ3π） decay modes we show that the present experimental observation is consistent with the molecular structure assumption of the X（3872）.Finally,we give evidence for molecular interpretations of the Y（3940） and Y（4140） related to the observed strong decay modes J/ψ＋ω or J/ψ＋φ,respectively.     

Search for new physics in the B→K^（＊）l^＋l^- decays at BABAR

Based on a data sample of 384 million BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-Ⅱ asymmetric e ＋ e ￣ storage ring,we measure branching fractions,direct CP,isospin and lepton-flavor asymmetries for the rare decays B → K （＊） l ＋ l￣ in two di-lepton mass bins above and below the J/ψ resonance.For the B → K＊ l ＋ l￣ decay,we also measure the K＊ longitudinal polarization fraction and the di-lepton forwardbackward asymmetry.     

Light meson spectrum and their leptonic decay widths in the frame work of constituent quark models

The phenomenological non-relativistic quark model has been employed to obtain the ground state masses of light vector mesons and their radially excited states and their decay widths.The full hamiltonian used in the investigation has kinetic energy,the confinement potential and the one-gluon-exchange potential.A good agreement is obtained with the experimental masses and their leptonic decay widths.     

Measurement of PV asymmetry in n＋p→d＋γ and γ＋d→n＋p

The measurement of parity-violating （PV） observables in few-nucleon system can shed light on our current understanding of the weak interaction between nucleons.Theoretical models describe the nucleonnucleon weak interaction at low energies use a series of undetermined parameters.Two parity violating measurements have been considered： the capture of polarized slow neutrons on hydrogen （n ＋ p → d ＋ γ） at Los Alamos National Laboratory for first phase and Oka Ridge National Laboratory for second phase and the helicity dependence of the deuteron photodisintegration cross section using circularly polarized photons （γ ＋ d → n ＋ p） at Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics.The goal of both experiments is to constraint the weak meson-nucleon couplings to a precision of 1 ×10^-8 .The introduction of both experiments is presented.     

Ds1（2536）^＋ decays and the structure of P-wave charmed strange mesons

We calculate the D s 1 （2536） ^＋ decays into D＊K channels,including the decay D s 1 （2536） ＋ → D ＋ π-K ＋ through a virtual D＊0 in a constituent quark model.Widths and S/D amplitudes ratio are in agreement with the recent Belle and BABAR data,being the results sensitive to 1 P 1 and 3 P 1 mixture.     

Hadron program at COMPASS

The fixed target COMPASS experiment at CERN offers the opportunity to search for exotic mesons and glueball candidates in the light quark sector with unprecedented statistics.Preliminary results from the 2008 data taken with an incoming negative hadron beam （190 GeV/c,mainly pions） on a liquid hydrogen target are presented.New detectors dedicated to hadron beam measurements have been added.These give access to rare neutral and kaonic channels.An amplitude analysis which will allow to fit simultaneously diffractively and/or centrally produced resonances will be described and compared with those used in the CERN WA102 and BNL E852 experiments.     

Measurement of J/ψ→ηcγ at KEDR

We present a study of the inclusive photon spectra from 5.9 million J/ψ decays collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e＋e collider. We measure the branching fraction of radiative decay J/ψ→ηcγ, ηc width and mass. Our preliminary results are： M（ηc） = 2979.4± 1.5 ± 1.9 MeV/c^2, Г（ηc） = 27.8±5.1 ±3.3 MeV, B（Jψ→ηcγ） = （2.34±0.15±0.40）%.     

Hunting η-bound nuclei

The η meson can be bound to atomic nuclei.Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions dp → 3 Heη and dd → 4 Heη.For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons were used in order to extract the s-wave strength.For both reactions complex scattering lengths are deduced： a 3 Heη = ± 10.7±0.8 ＋0.1 -0.5 ＋i· 1.5±2.6 ＋1.0-0.9 fm and a 4 Heη = [±（3.1±0.5）＋i·（0±0.5）] fm.In a two-nucleon transfer reaction under quasi-free conditions,p^ 27 Al → ^3 HeX,was investigated.The system X can be the bound 25 Mg  η at rest.When a possible decay of an intermediate N  （1535） is required,a highly significant bump shows up in the missing mass spectrum.The data give for a bound state a binding energy of 13.3±1.6 MeV and a width of σ=4.4±1.3 MeV.     

Study of the process e^＋e^- →π^＋π^-π^0π^0 at energies √s 〈 1 GeV

In an experiment with the Spherical Neutral Detector at VEPP-2M collider the cross section of the process e^＋e^- →π^＋π^-π^0π^0 was measured. At energies √s 〈 920 MeV this cross section was measured for the first time. The energy dependence of the cross section is well discribed by the vector dominance model with contributions from p, p＇, p＂ mesons. The decay probability ρ→π^＋π^-π^0π^0 was found to be Bρ = （1.60±0.74±0.18） × 10^-5. The upper limit for the decay ω→π^＋π^-π^0π^0 was improved by two orders of magnitude compared to the previous measurements and is Bω 〈 2 × 10^-4 at 90% confidence level.     

Calculation of equation of state of QCD at zero temperature and finite chemical potential

In this paper we calculate the equation of state （EOS） of QCD at zero temperature and finite chemical potential by using several models of quark propagators including the Dyson-Schwinger equations （DSEs） model,the hard-dense-loop （HDL） approximation and the quasi-particle model.The results are analyzed and compared with the known results in the literature.     

Recent BES results on hadron spectroscopy

Light hadron spectroscopy is a powerful tool in hadronic physics.Several recent BES results on hadron spectroscopy are reported in this proceeding,including the confirmation of the enhancement in pp invariant mass in radiative J/ψ decays,the observation of a charged κ ± decaying to K ± π 0 and the measurement of exclusive decays of the χ c0 and χ c2 to π ^0 π^ 0 and ηη.     

Determining the strange and antistrange quark distributions of the nucleon

The difference between the strange and antistrange quark distributions,δs（x） = s（x） ˉs（x）,and the combination of light quark sea and strange quark sea,Δ（x） =ˉ d（x） ＋ uˉ（x） s（x） ˉs（x）,are originated from non-perturbative processes and can be calculated using non-perturbative models of the nucleon.We report calculations of δs（x） and Δ（x） using the meson cloud model.Combining our calculations of Δ（x） with relatively well known light antiquark distributions obtained from global analysis of available experimental data,we estimate the total strange sea distributions of the nucleon.     

B（E2） value of even-even ^108-112Pd isotopes by interacting boson model-1

This work studies the systematic reduced transition probabilities B（E2）↓, intrinsic quadrupole moments and deformation parameters of Pd isotopes with even neutrons from N =62 to 66. The downward reduced transition probabilities B（E2）↓from gamma transition 8^＋to 6^＋, 6^＋ to 4^＋, 4^＋ to 2^＋ and 2^＋ to 0＋states of even-even108 112Pd isotopes were calculated by the Interacting Boson Model（IBM-1） and compared with the available previous experimental results. The ratio of the excitation energies of the first 4＋and the first 2＋excited states, R4/2, is also studied for the classification of symmetry of these nuclei. Furthermore we have studied systematically the transition rate R = B（E2： L＋ →（L 2）＋）/B（E2 ： 2＋ →0＋） of some of the low-lying quadrupole collective states in comparison with the available experimental data. The associated quadrupole moments and deformation parameters have been calculated. The results of this calculation are in good agreement with the corresponding available experimental data. The108 112Pd isotopes show the O（6） symmetry.     

Binding energy effects in the decay properties of charmonia

The di-gamma and di-gluon decay widths of P-wave cc mesons are computed in nonrelativistic phenomenological quark-antiquark potential of the type V （r） =-4 3 α s r＋ Ar ν with different choices of ν using spectroscopic parameters.The numerically obtained radial solutions are employed to obtain the di-gamma and di-gluon decay widths.The computed decay widths are consistent with other model predictions as well as with the known experimental values in the range of potential index 0.7 ≤ ν ≤ 1.1.     

Dynamics of strong and radiative decays of D_s-mesons in the hadrogenesis conjecture

The positive parity scalar D ＊ s0 （2317） and axial-vector D ＊ s1 （2460） charmed strange mesons are generated by coupled-channel dynamics through the s-wave scattering of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar and vector D（D s ）-meson ground states.The specific masses of these states are obtained as a consequence of the attraction arising from the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction in the chiral Lagrangian.Chiral corrections to order Q 2 χ are calculated and found to be small.The D ＊ s0 （2317） and D ＊ s1 （2460） mesons decay either strongly into the isospin-violating π 0 D s and π 0 D ？ s channels or electromagnetically.We show that the π 0-η and （K^ 0 D ^＋-K^ ＋ D^ 0 ） mixings act constructively to generate strong widths of the order of 140 keV and emphasize the sensitivity of this value to the KD component of the states.The one-loop contribution to the radiative decay amplitudes of scalar and axial-vector states is calculated using the electromagnetic Lagrangian to chiral order Q 2 χ .We show the importance of taking into account processes involving light vector mesons explicitly in the dynamics of electromagnetic decays.The radiative width are sensitive to both η D s and KD components,hence providing information complementary to the strong widths on the positive parity D s-meson structure.     

Status of the lattice and τ decay determinations of αs

The two highest precision determinations of α s （M 2 Z ）,that based on the analysis of short-distancesensitive lattice observables,and that based on an analysis of hadronic τ decay data,have,until very recently,given results which are not in good agreement.I review new versions of these analyses which bring the two determinations into excellent agreement,and discuss prospects for additional future improvements.
