Inclusive charged hadron spectra in νA and\bar v A interactions atE_{\begin{array}{*{20}c} {( - )} \\ v \\ \end{array} }< 30GeV

We present inclusive spectra of charged hadrons produced in \(\begin{array}{*{20}c} {( - )} \\ v \\ \end{array}\) -Freon interactions at average beam energies of about 6 GeV. The experiment was done using the bubble chamber SKAT at the 70 GeV Serpukhov accelerator. In the hadronic energy range,W<5 GeV, dominantly isotropic events are found. The transverse momentum of the produced particles shows no strongW ²-dependence. Feynman-scaling may be reached forW ²?10 GeV², where also the?-spectra are described by the predictions of the parton model. All experimental data are reproduced rather well also by a Monte Carlo model based on ordinary phase space.     

Analysis of the vertexes \Xi_{Q}^{*}′QV , \Sigma_{Q}^{*} \Sigma_{Q}^{}V and radiative decays \Xi_{Q}^{*} \rightarrow ′Q \gamma , \Sigma_{Q}^{*} \rightarrow \Sigma_{Q}^{} \gamma

In this article, we study the vertexes $ \Xi_{Q}^{*}$ ′_Q V and $ \Sigma_{Q}^{*}$ $ \Sigma_{Q}^{}$ V with the light-cone QCD sum rules, then assume the vector meson dominance of the intermediate $ \phi$ (1020) , $ \rho$ (770) and $ \omega$ (782) , and calculate the radiative decays $ \Xi_{Q}^{*}$ $ \rightarrow$ ′_Q $ \gamma$ and $ \Sigma_{Q}^{*}$ $ \rightarrow$ $ \Sigma_{Q}^{}$ $ \gamma$ .     

$\mathcal{PT}$-Symmetric Quantum Electrodynamics—$\mathcal{PT}$QED

The construction of PT\mathcal{PT}-symmetric quantum electrodynamics is reviewed. In particular, the massless version of the theory in 1+1 dimensions (the Schwinger model) is solved. Difficulties with unitarity of the S-matrix are discussed.     

Why is \mathcal{CPT} Fundamental?

Lüders and Pauli proved the theorem based on Lagrangian quantum field theory almost half a century ago. Jost gave a more general proof based on “axiomatic” field theory nearly as long ago. The axiomatic point of view has two advantages over the Lagrangian one. First, the axiomatic point of view makes clear why is fundamental—because it is intimately related to Lorentz invariance. Secondly, the axiomatic proof gives a simple way to calculate the transform of any relativistic field without calculating , and separately and then multiplying them. The purpose of this pedagogical paper is to “deaxiomatize” the theorem by explaining it in a few simple steps. We use theorems of distribution theory and of several complex variables without proof to make the exposition elementary.     

Superconductivity in the doped “pseudo-ladder” compound CaCu$_\mathsf{2}$O$_\mathsf{3}$

An effective anisotropic t-J model for the pseudo-ladder compound CaCu₂O₃ is proposed based on recent experimental studies and band structure calculations. Superconducting pairing mediated by the exchange interaction in the model is investigated as a function of doping away from the antiferromagnetic insulating state. It is shown that strong anisotropy in the electronic spectrum suppresses superconducting temperature in comparison with conventional copper-oxide superconductors with square lattices.     

PHENIX J/Ψ measurement at \sqrt {s_{NN} } = 200 GeV

In 2002, PHENIX had the first measurements on J/Ψ → e⁺ e^? and J/Ψ→μ ⁺ μ ^? in AuAu and pp collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN} } = 200$ GeV. The preliminary results are presented and discussed. The ongoing analysis status on year 2003 dAu collision data are presented.

Hadronic η and $ \eta{^\prime}$ decays

The hadronic decays η, ↦3π and ↦ηππ are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are included by deriving s- and p-wave interaction kernels for meson-meson scattering from the chiral effective Lagrangian and iterating them in a Bethe-Salpeter equation. Very good overall agreement with currently available data on decay widths and spectral shapes is achieved.     

η , \eta{^\prime} mixing angle and \eta{^\prime} gluonium content extraction from the KLOE Rφ measurement⋆

In this report the extraction of the η , $ \eta{^\prime}$ mixing angle and of the $ \eta{^\prime}$ gluonium content from the R _φ = Br(φ(1020) → $ \eta{^\prime}$ γ)/Br(φ(1020) → ηγ) is updated. The $ \eta{^\prime}$ gluonium content is estimated by fitting R _φ , together, with other decay branching ratios. The extracted parameters are: Z ² _G = 0.12±0.04 and ?_P = (40.4±0.9)^° .     

Finite Size XXZ Spin Chain with Anisotropy Parameter Δ= \frac{1} {2}

We find an analytic solution of the Bethe–Ansatz equations (BAE) for the special case of a finite XXZ spin chain with free boundary conditions and with a complex surface field which provides for U_q(sl(2)) symmetry of the Hamiltonian. More precisely, we find one nontrivial solution, corresponding to the ground state of the system with anisotropy parameter Δ= $\frac{1}{2}$ corresponding to q³=?1. With a view to establishing an exact representation of the ground state of the finite size XXZ spin chain in terms of elementary functions, we concentrate on the crossing parameter η dependence around η=π/3 for which there is a known solution. The approach taken involves the use of a physical solution Q of Baxter's T-Q equation, corresponding to the ground state, as well as a non-physical solution P of the same equation. The calculation of P and then of the ground state derivative is covered. Possible applications of this derivative to the theory of percolation have yet to be investigated. As far as the finite XXZ spin chain with periodic boundary conditions is concerned, we find a similar solution for an assymetric case which corresponds to the 6-vertex model with a special magnetic field. For this case we find the analytic value of the “magnetic moment” of the system in the corresponding state.     

t\bar{t}H\to t\bar{t}\tau^{+}\tau^{-} —toward the measurement of the top-Yukawa coupling

One of the main goals of the ATLAS experiment is to measure various Higgs boson couplings as accurately as possible. Such a measurement is mandatory for a full understanding of the Higgs sector. One of the most challenging measurements of the Higgs boson properties is the determination of the Yukawa coupling to the top quark. To complement the $t\bar {t}H\rightarrow t\bar {t}\ensuremath {\mathit {b}\bar {\mathit {b}}}$ channel, which is the most significant in the low Higgs mass region (m _H ～120 GeV), we introduce a feasibility study of the $t\bar {t}H$ channel with the Higgs decaying to a pair of τ leptons. The signal events were reconstructed using the full and the fast simulation of the ATLAS detector. It is shown that both the distributions and the number of expected events after the same cuts agree, and that we can use the fast simulation to complete the analysis. We obtain a significance of 1.6σ for the low luminosity condition (30 fb^?1) and m _H =120 GeV, and 2.0σ for the high luminosity condition (300 fb^?1) and m _H =120 GeV. The observability of Higgs boson in this channel is demonstrated to be very marginal, even in the absence of taking into account $t\bar {t}+\mathrm{jets}$ .     

Dirac multimode ket-bra operators’ \mathfrak{Q}-ordered and \mathfrak{P}-ordered integration theory and general squeezing operator

We develop quantum mechanical Dirac ket-bra operator’s integration theory in $\mathfrak{Q}$ -ordering or $\mathfrak{P}$ -ordering to multimode case, where $\mathfrak{Q}$ -ordering means all Qs are to the left of all Ps and $\mathfrak{P}$ -ordering means all Ps are to the left of all Qs. As their applications, we derive $\mathfrak{Q}$ -ordered and $\mathfrak{P}$ -ordered expansion formulas of multimode exponential operator $e^{ - iP_l \Lambda _{lk} Q_k } $ . Application of the new formula in finding new general squeezing operators is demonstrated. The general exponential operator for coordinate representation transformation $\left| {\left. {\left( {_{q_2 }^{q_1 } } \right)} \right\rangle \to } \right|\left. {\left( {_{CD}^{AB} } \right)\left( {_{q_2 }^{q_1 } } \right)} \right\rangle $ is also derived. In this way, much more correpondence relations between classical coordinate transformations and their quantum mechanical images can be revealed.     

Contribution of a heavy singlet quark to the mass differences \Delta m_{K^o } , \Delta m_{B_d } , and \Delta m_{B_s } and to the CP-violation parameter ɛ K

It is shown that, within the Standard Model extended by including a singlet quark heavy enough to prevent its direct detection at LHC, the mass differences $ \Delta m_{B_d } $ and $ \Delta m_{B_s } $ and the parameter of CP violation in K-meson oscillations, ? _K , acquire universal corrections of about 5 to 10%. Implicit experimental constraints on the mass of this new quark are discussed.     

Inclusion relations for the spaces L(ℝ), \mathcal{H}\mathcal{K} (ℝ) ∩ \mathcal{B}\mathcal{V} (ℝ), and L 2(ℝ)

The inclusion relations for the spaces $ \mathcal{H}\mathcal{K} $ (I), L(I), $ \mathcal{H}\mathcal{K} $ (I) ∩ $ \mathcal{B}\mathcal{V} $ (I), and L ²(I) are found. On unbounded intervals, functions in $ \mathcal{H}\mathcal{K} $ (I) ∩ $ \mathcal{B}\mathcal{V} $ (I) need not be Lebesgue integrable.     

\mathcal{A} -invariance: An Axiomatic Approach to Quantum Relativity

The sort of approach claimed by the title of this article is realizable, at least, within the framework of ADG where we do not assume any “spacetime” supplying the dynamics we employ. The latter classical type of argument can naturally be included herewith along with its concomitant impediments that are emanated therefrom and are essentially “absorbed”, technically speaking, by the proposed mechanism. So our approach, being “manifoldless” (thence, no smoothness, in the standard sense) does not contain any such issue, as before, according to the very definitions, being thus “singularities”-free. As a consequence, the equations that one would be able to formulate within the present set-up will be, by the very essence of the matter, already the quantized ones. Dedicated to Professor Rafael D. Sorkin on the occasion of his 60th birthday with much friendship and recognition of his creative pursuit in theoretical physics.     

One-loop gg\to b\bar{b} effects in the main irreducible background to exclusive H\to b\bar{b} production at the LHC

We calculate the amplitude of $gg\to b\bar{b}$ production for the colour singlet, J _z =0, di-gluon state at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{\mathrm{S}}^{2})$ order. We consider the cancellation and a realistic cut-off, of the infrared divergent terms. We show that the one-loop radiative QCD contributions effectively reduce the Born level result for the central exclusive $b\bar{b}$ cross section at the LHC. This process is essentially the only irreducible QCD background to the exclusive $H\to b\bar{b}$ signal.     

Vibrational states of the Pt(111)–$$ \left( {\sqrt {3} \times \sqrt {3} } \right) $$ R30°–K surface structure

Vibrational spectrum of the ordered Pt(111)–( ?3 ×?3 ) \left( {\sqrt {3} \times \sqrt {3} } \right) R30°–K surface superstructure formed on the platinum surface with adsorption of 1/3 ML potassium is calculated with the use of the interatomic interaction potentials obtained in the strong bond approximation. Relaxation of the surface, dispersion of the surface phonons, local density of vibrational states, and polarization of phonon modes of adatoms and atoms of the substrate are discussed in the work. The theoretical results obtained agree well with the available experimental data.
