Model-independent analysis of Higgs spin and CP properties in the process \boldsymbol{e}^{+} \boldsymbol{e}^{-} \to\boldsymbol{t}\bar{\boldsymbol{t}} \boldsymbol{\Phi}

In this paper we investigate methods to study the $t\bar{t}$ Higgs coupling. The spin and CP properties of a Higgs boson are analysed in a model-independent way in its associated production with a $t\bar{t}$ pair in high-energy e ⁺ e ^? collisions. We study the prospects of establishing the CP quantum numbers of the Higgs boson in the CP-conserving case as well as those of determining the CP-mixing if CP is violated. We explore in this analysis the combined use of the total cross section and its energy dependence, the polarisation asymmetry of the top quark and the up-down asymmetry of the antitop with respect to the top–electron plane. We find that combining all three observables remarkably reduces the error on the determination of the CP properties of the Higgs Yukawa coupling. Furthermore, the top polarisation asymmetry and the ratio of cross sections at different collider energies are shown to be sensitive to the spin of the particle produced in association with the top-quark pair.     

{\boldsymbol N}\boldsymbol{\bar N} exotics and antiprotonic atoms

The BES Collaboration measurements of J/ψ radiative decays into $ p{\bar p}$ indicate a strong enhancement at $ p {\bar p}$ threshold. In a related experiment a peak in the invariant π ^?+? π ^???η′ mass is observed. It is shown that both structures may be related to a broad $ N{\bar N}$ quasi-bound state in the $^{11}S_{0} $ wave. The existence of this state finds additional support from the antiprotonic atom level widths. It is also explained by a traditional model of $ N \bar{N} $ interactions based on G-parity transformation. The level widths in H, D and He antiprotonic atoms and the radiochemical studies of $ {\bar p}$ capture in nuclei indicate the existence of another near-threshold quasi-bound state in a P wave.

Overview of \boldsymbol{\bar{K} N} and \boldsymbol{\bar{K}}-nucleus dynamics

The main features of coupled-channel ${\bar K}N$ dynamics near threshold and its repercussions in few-body $\bar K$ -nuclear systems are briefly reviewed highlighting the I?=?1/2 ${\bar K}NN$ system. For heavier nuclei, the extension of mean-field calculations to multi- $\bar K$ nuclear quasibound states is discussed focusing on kaon condensation.

Exotic tetraquark states with the $$qq\bar{Q}\bar{Q}$$ configuration

In this work, we study systematically the mass splittings of the \(qq\bar{Q}\bar{Q}\) (\(q=u\), d, s and \(Q=c\), b) tetraquark states with the color-magnetic interaction by considering color mixing effects and estimate roughly their masses. We find that the color mixing effect is relatively important for the \(J^P=0^+\) states and possible stable tetraquarks exist in the \(nn\bar{Q}\bar{Q}\) (\(n=u\), d) and \(ns\bar{Q}\bar{Q}\) systems either with \(J=0\) or with \(J=1\). Possible decay patterns of the tetraquarks are briefly discussed.

X-ray investigation of the interface structure of free standing InAs nanowires grown on GaAs [\bar{1}\bar {1}\bar{1}]_{\mathrm{B}}

The heteroepitaxial growth process of InAs nanowires (NW) on GaAs $[\bar{1}\bar{1}\bar{1}]_{\mathrm{B}}$ substrate was investigated by X-ray grazing-incidence diffraction using synchrotron radiation. For crystal growth we applied the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth mechanism via gold seeds. The general sample structure was extracted from various electron microscopic and X-ray diffraction experiments. We found a closed Ga _x In_1?x As graduated alloy layer at the substrate to NW interface which was formed in the initial stage of VLS growth with a Au–Ga–In liquid alloy. With ongoing growth time a transition from this VLS layer growth to the conventional VLS NW growth was observed. The structural properties of both VLS grown crystal types were examined. Furthermore, we discuss the VLS layer growth process.

Phenomenological \boldsymbol{\bar{K}N} interaction with isospin-breaking effects

New strong coupled-channel $\bar{K}N - \pi \Sigma$ potential, reproducing all existing experimental data and suitable for using in accurate few-body calculations, is constructed. Isospin breaking effects of direct inclusion of the Coulomb interaction and the use of physical masses in calculations are taken into account. The 1s level shift and width of kaonic hydrogen, consistent with the scattering data, was obtained and the corresponding strong K ^??? p scattering length was calculated. One- and two-pole forms of Λ(1405) resonance were considered.     

NNLO corrections to \bar{B}\to X_{u}\ell \bar{\nu}_{\ell} and the determination of |V ub |

We study the impact of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections on partial decay rates in $\bar{B}\to X_{u}\ell \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ decays, at leading-order in the 1/m _b expansion for shape-function kinematics. These corrections are implemented within a modified form of the BLNP framework, which allows for arbitrary variations of the jet scale μ _i ～1.5 GeV. Our analysis includes a detailed comparison between resummed and fixed-order perturbation theory, and between the complete NNLO results and those obtained in the large-β ₀ approximation. For the default choice μ _i =1.5 GeV used in current extractions of |V _ub | within the BLNP framework, the NNLO corrections induce significant downward shifts in the central values of partial decay rates with cuts on the hadronic variable P ₊, the hadronic invariant mass, and the lepton energy. At the same time, perturbative uncertainties are reduced, especially those at the jet scale, which are the dominant ones at next-to-leading order (NLO). For higher values of μ _i and in fixed-order perturbation theory, the shifts between NLO and NNLO are more moderate. We combine our new results with known power-suppressed terms in order to illustrate the implications of our analysis on the determination of |V _ub | from inclusive decays.
