More corrections to the sixth-order anomalous magnetic moment of the muon

The contribution to the sixth-order muon anomaly from second-order electron vacuum polarization is determined analytically to orderm _e/m _μ. The result, including the contributions from graphs containing proper and improper fourth-order electron vacuum polarization subgraphs, is $$\begin{gathered} \left( {\frac{\alpha }{\pi }} \right)^3 \left\{ {\frac{2}{9}\log ^2 } \right.\frac{{m_\mu }}{{m_e }} + \left[ {\frac{{31}}{{27}}} \right. + \frac{{\pi ^2 }}{9} - \frac{2}{3}\pi ^2 \log 2 \hfill \\ \left. { + \zeta \left( 3 \right)} \right]\log \frac{{m_\mu }}{{m_e }} + \left[ {\frac{{1075}}{{216}}} \right. - \frac{{25}}{{18}}\pi ^2 + \frac{{5\pi ^2 }}{3}\log 2 \hfill \\ \left. { - 3\zeta \left( 3 \right) + \frac{{11}}{{216}}\pi ^4 - \frac{2}{9}\pi ^2 \log ^2 2 - \frac{1}{9}log^4 2 - \frac{8}{3}a_4 } \right] \hfill \\ + \left[ {\frac{{3199}}{{1080}}\pi ^2 - \frac{{16}}{9}\pi ^2 \log 2 - \frac{{13}}{8}\pi ^3 } \right]\left. {\frac{{m_e }}{{m_\mu }}} \right\} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . To obtain the total sixth-order contribution toa _μ?a _e, one must add the light-by-light contribution to the above expression.     

Three-loop relation of quark\overline {MS} and pole masses

We calculate, exactly, the next-to-leading correction to the relation between the \(\overline {MS} \) quark mass, \(\bar m\) , and the scheme-independent pole mass,M, and obtain $$\begin{gathered} \frac{M}{{\bar m(M)}} \approx 1 + \frac{4}{3}\frac{{\bar \alpha _s (M)}}{\pi } + \left[ {16.11 - 1.04\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{N_F - 1} {(1 - M_i /M)} } \right] \hfill \\ \cdot \left( {\frac{{\bar \alpha _s (M)}}{\pi }} \right)^2 + 0(\bar \alpha _s^3 (M)), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ as an accurate approximation forN _F?1 light quarks of massesM _i <M. Combining this new result with known three-loop results for \(\overline {MS} \) coupling constant and mass renormalization, we relate the pole mass to the \(\overline {MS} \) mass, \(\bar m\) (μ), renormalized at arbitrary μ. The dominant next-to-leading correction comes from the finite part of on-shell two-loop mass renormalization, evaluated using integration by parts and checked by gauge invariance and infrared finiteness. Numerical results are given for charm and bottom \(\overline {MS} \) masses at μ=1 GeV. The next-to-leading corrections are comparable to the leading corrections.     

An analytical expression for the specific capacity of lithium ion cells

The concentration of lithium ions in the cathode of lithium ion cells has been obtained by solving the materials balance equation $$\frac{{\partial c}}{{\partial t}} = \varepsilon ^{1/2} D\frac{{\partial ^2 c}}{{\partial x^2 }} + \frac{{aj_n (1--t_ + )}}{\varepsilon }$$ by Laplace transform. On the assumption that the cell is fully discharged when there are zero lithium ions at the current collector of the cathode, the discharge timet _d is obtained as $$\tau = \frac{{r^2 }}{{\pi ^2 \varepsilon ^{1/2} }}\ln \left[ {\frac{{\pi ^2 }}{{r^2 }}\left( {\frac{{\varepsilon ^{1/2} }}{J} + \frac{{r^2 }}{6}} \right)} \right]$$ which, when substituted into the equationC=It _d /M, whereI is the discharge current andM is the mass of the separator and positive electrode, an analytical expression for the specific capacity of the lithium cell is given as $$C = \frac{{IL_c ^2 }}{{\pi {\rm M}D\varepsilon ^{1/2} }}\ln \left[ {\frac{{\pi ^2 }}{2}\left( {\frac{{FDc_0 \varepsilon ^{3/2} }}{{I(1 - t_ + )L_c }} + \frac{1}{6}} \right)} \right]$$      

Analysis of the \frac{1} {2}^ - and \frac{3} {2}^ - heavy and doubly heavy baryon states with QCD sum rules

In this article, we study the $\frac{1} {2}^ -$ and $\frac{3} {2}^ -$ heavy and doubly heavy baryon states $\Sigma _Q \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Xi '_Q \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Omega _Q \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Xi _{QQ} \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Omega _{QQ} \left( {\frac{1} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Sigma _Q^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Xi _Q^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Omega _Q^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ , $\Xi _{QQ}^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ and $\Omega _{QQ}^* \left( {\frac{3} {2}^ - } \right)$ by subtracting the contributions from the corresponding $\frac{1} {2}^ +$ and $\frac{3} {2}^ +$ heavy and doubly heavy baryon states with the QCD sum rules in a systematic way, and make reasonable predictions for their masses.     

Hyperfeinstruktur- und Stark-Effekt-Untersuchungen der Terme 4d5s5p z 2 F 5/2 undz 2 F 7/2 im Yttrium I Spektrum

The hyperfine structure and the Stark effect shift of the 4d5s5p z ² F _5/2 states in the Y I spectrum were investigated by level-crossing technique. Between the Zeeman effect region and the Paschen-Back region of hyperfine structure states some of the levels cross. The resonance radiation of these coherently excited levels show an interference effect of the scattering amplitudes in the crossing region. The level-crossing signals give information about hfs splitting and lifetime of the excited states under investigation. The magnetic hfs splitting factorsA of the 4d5s5p z ² F _{5/2, 7/2} states and their lifetimes were deduced. $$\begin{gathered} |A (z^2 F_{5/2} )| = (23.8 \pm 0.04) MHz \frac{{g_J }}{{0.854}} \hfill \\ |A (z^2 F_{7/2} )| = (84.08 \pm 0.01) MHz \frac{{g_J }}{{1.148}} \hfill \\ \tau (z^2 F_{5/2} ) = (46 \pm 3) 10^{ - 9} s \frac{{0.854}}{{g_J }} \hfill \\ \tau (z^2 F_{7/2} ) = (44 \pm 4) 10^{ - 9} s \frac{{1.148}}{{g_J }}. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ With an electric field parallel to the magnetic field a shift of the level-crossing signals of the 4d5s5p z ² F _{5/2, 7/2} states was observed, and the Stark constants β were deduced. $$\begin{gathered} |\beta (z^2 F_{5/2} )| = (0.0020 \pm 0.0002) MHz/(kV/cm)^2 \hfill \\ |\beta (z^2 F_{7/2} )| = (0.0025 \pm 0.0015) MHz/(kV/cm)^2 . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

In this paper we give an explicit expression for \(\eta ^{X^i }\) in the ‘determining equation’ $$\eta ^T = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{\text{ }}\eta ^{X^i } {\text{ }}\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial u_i }} + \eta \frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial u_{} }} + \xi \frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial x}} + \tau } \frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial t}},$$ where u _i =? ⁱ u/?x ⁱ . By using this expression we derive a set of equations with η, ξ, τ as unknown functions and discuss in detail the cases of heat and KdV equations.     

Determination of hyperfine interactions from partly resolved moessbauer spectra

Moessbauer spectra with different sets of parameters were calculated. A fit with a superposition of Lorentzians to these theoretical spectra showed, that systematic errors must be expected if the hyperfine structure of the spectrum is only partly resolved. Correction factors for some simple cases are given. Experiments to test the calculations were performed with¹³³Cs (81 keV transition),¹⁶⁵Ho (94.7 keV transition) and¹⁷⁸Hf (93 keV transition). In all cases fits using the transmission integral and superpositions of Lorentzians showed the expected trends. We get the following results: $$\begin{gathered} ^{133} Cs:\frac{{g_{ex} }}{{g_{gr} }} = 1.90\left( 4 \right) \hfill \\ ^{165} Ho:\tau \left( {94.7keVlevel} \right) = 32\left( 1 \right)ps \hfill \\ \frac{{g_{ex} }}{{g_{gr} }} = 0.77\left( 3 \right) \hfill \\ ^{178} Hf:|H_{eff} \left( {4K,in iron} \right)| = 633\left( {40} \right)KG \hfill \\ |H_{eff} \left( {77K,in iron} \right)| = 630\left( {41} \right)KG. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$      

Antiproton-proton annihilation at rest intoπ + π − η ′ andπ + π − η from atomicS andP states

We have measured the branching ratios for \(\bar pp\) annihilation at rest intoπ ⁺ π ^? η andπ ⁺ π ^? η′ in hydrogen gas in two data samples that have different fractions ofS-wave andP-wave initial states. The branching ratios are derived from a comparison with the topological branching ratio for \(\bar pp\) annihilations into four charged pions of (49±4)% and the branching ratio intoπ ⁺ π ^? π ⁺ π ^? π ⁰ of (18.7±1.6)%. We find a significant reduction of the branching ratios fromP-states for \(\bar pp \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta \) andπ ⁺ π ^? η′ in comparison toS-state annihilation. $$\begin{gathered} BR(S - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ) = (13.7 \pm 1.46) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ) = (3.35 \pm 0.84) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(S - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ') = (3.46 \pm 0.67) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ') = (0.61 \pm 0.33) \cdot 10^{ - 3} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ In a partial wave analysis of theπ ⁺ π ^? η Dalitz plot we find the following contributions: Phase space, \(a_2^ + (1320)\pi ^ \mp \) ,ηρ⁰ andf ₂(1270)η: $$\begin{gathered} BR(S - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta PS) = (6.31 \pm 1.22) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta PS) = (0.47 \pm 0.26) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^1 S_0 \to a_2^ \pm (1320)\pi ^ \mp ) = (2.59 \pm 0.73) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^3 S_1 \to a_2^ \pm (1320)\pi ^ \mp ) = (1.31 \pm 0.48) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to a_2^ \pm (1320)\pi ^ \mp ) = (1.31 \pm 0.69) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^3 S_1 \to \rho \eta ) = (3.29 \pm 0.90) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^1 P_1 \to \rho \eta ) = (0.94 \pm 0.53) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^1 S_0 \to f_2 (1270)\eta ) = (0.083 \pm 0.086) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to f_2 (1270)\eta ) = (0.64 \pm 0.26) \cdot 10^{ - 3} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ We find a 2 σ effect for the reaction \(\bar pp \to a_0^ \pm (980)\pi ^ \mp \) , \(a_0^ \pm \to \eta \pi ^ \pm \) , with a branching ratio of (0.13±0.07)·10^?3. For η' production we give a branching ratio of \(\bar pp \to \rho \eta '\) of (1.81±0.44)·10^?3 from³ S ₁. We estmate a contribution of about 0.3·10^?3 for ρη' fromP-states. The ratio of ρη and ρη' rpoduction is used to test the validity of the quark line rule. In theπ ⁺ π ^? π ⁺ π ^? γ final state we do not observe the reaction \(\bar pp \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \omega \) , ω→π ⁺ π ^? λ and derive an upper limit of 3·10^?3 for decay modeω→π ⁺ π ^? λ.     

Light quark masses in quantum chromodynamics and chiral symmetry breaking

We derive model independent lower bounds for the sums of effective quark masses \(\bar m_u + \bar m_d \) and \(\bar m_u + \bar m_s \) . The bounds follow from the combination of the spectral representation properties of the hadronic axial currents two-point functions and their behavior in the deep euclidean region (known from a perturbative QCD calculation to two loops and the leading non-perturbative contribution). The bounds incorporate PCAC in the Nambu-Goldstone version. If we define the invariant masses \(\hat m\) by $$\bar m_i = \hat m_i \left( {{{\frac{1}{2}\log Q^2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\frac{1}{2}\log Q^2 } {\Lambda ^2 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\Lambda ^2 }}} \right)^{{{\gamma _1 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\gamma _1 } {\beta _1 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\beta _1 }}} $$ and <F ²> is the vacuum expectation value of $$F^2 = \Sigma _a F_{(a)}^{\mu v} F_{\mu v(a)} $$ , we find, e.g., $$\hat m_u + \hat m_d \geqq \sqrt {\frac{{2\pi }}{3} \cdot \frac{{8f_\pi m_\pi ^2 }}{{3\left\langle {\alpha _s F^2 } \right\rangle ^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} }}} $$ ; with the value <α _u F ²?0.04GeV⁴, recently suggested by various analysis, this gives $$\hat m_u + \hat m_d \geqq 35MeV$$ . The corresponding bounds on \(\bar m_u + \bar m_s \) are obtained replacingm _π ² f _π bym _K ² f _K . The PCAC relation can be inverted, and we get upper bounds on the spontaneous masses, \(\hat \mu \) : $$\hat \mu \leqq 170MeV$$ where \(\hat \mu \) is defined by $$\left\langle {\bar \psi \psi } \right\rangle \left( {Q^2 } \right) = \left( {{{\frac{1}{2}\log Q^2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\frac{1}{2}\log Q^2 } {\Lambda ^2 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\Lambda ^2 }}} \right)^d \hat \mu ^3 ,d = {{12} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{12} {\left( {33 - 2n_f } \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {33 - 2n_f } \right)}}$$ .     

Proton-antiproton annihilation into a \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{{\Lambda}}_{c}^{-} pair

The process p $ \bar{{p}}$ $ \rightarrow$ $ \Lambda_{c}^{+}$ $ \bar{{\Lambda}}_{c}^{-}$ is investigated within the handbag approach. It is shown to lowest order of perturbative QCD that, under the assumption of restricted parton virtualities and transverse momenta, the dominant dynamical mechanism, characterized by the partonic subprocess u $ \bar{{u}}$ $ \rightarrow$ c $ \bar{{c}}$ , factorizes in the sense that only the subprocess contains highly virtual partons, namely a gluon, while the hadronic matrix elements embody only soft scales and can be parameterized in terms of helicity flip and non-flip generalized parton distributions. Modelling the latter functions by overlaps of light-cone wave functions for the involved baryons we are able to predict cross-sections and spin correlation parameters for the process of interest.

Nuclear magnetic resonance of oriented²⁰⁷Po has been observed in Fe and Ni, of²⁰⁵Po in Fe. The resonance frequencies for zero external field are $$\begin{gathered} v_L (^{207} Po\underline {Fe} ) = 575.08(20)MHz \hfill \\ v_L (^{207} Po\underline {Ni} ) = 160.1(8)MHz \hfill \\ v_L (^{205} Po\underline {Fe} ) = 551.7(8)MHz. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ From the dependence of the resonance frequency on external magnetic field theg-factor of²⁰⁷Po was derived as $$g(^{207} Po) = + 0.31(22).$$ Using this value the magnetic hyperfine fields of Po in Fe and Ni were obtained as $$\begin{gathered} B_{hf} (Po\underline {Fe} ) = + 238(16)T \hfill \\ B_{hf} (Po\underline {Ni} ) = 66.3(4.6)T. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ Theg-factor of²⁰⁵Po follows as $$g(^{205} Po) = + 0.304(22).$$ From the temperature dependence of the anisotropies ofγ-lines in the decay of^205,207Po the multipole mixing of several transitions was derived. The electric interaction frequenciesv _Q=eQV_zz/h in the hosts Zn and Be were measured as $$\begin{gathered} v_Q (^{207} Po\underline {Zn} ) = + 42(3)MHz \hfill \\ v_Q (^{207} Po\underline {Be} ) = - 70(20)MHz \hfill \\ v_Q (^{205} Po\underline {Be} ) = - 42(17)MHz. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$

Study of the mechanisms of pre-equilibrium nuclear reactions in the microscopic approach

The mechanisms of pre-equilibrium nuclear reactions are investigated within the Statistical Multistep Direct Process (SMDP) + Statistical Multistep Compound Process (SMCP) formalism. It has been shown that from an analysis of linear part in such dependences as $$\ln \left[ {{{\frac{{d^2 \sigma }}{{d\varepsilon _b d\Omega _b }}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\frac{{d^2 \sigma }}{{d\varepsilon _b d\Omega _b }}} {\varepsilon _b^{1/2} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\varepsilon _b^{1/2} }}} \right]upon\varepsilon _b $$ and $$\ln \left[ {{{\frac{{d\sigma ^{SMDP \to SMCP} }}{{d\varepsilon _b }}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\frac{{d\sigma ^{SMDP \to SMCP} }}{{d\varepsilon _b }}} {\frac{{d\sigma ^{SMDP} }}{{d\varepsilon _b }}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\frac{{d\sigma ^{SMDP} }}{{d\varepsilon _b }}}}} \right]upon{{U_B } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{U_B } {\left( {E_a - B_b } \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {E_a - B_b } \right)}}$$ one can extract information about the type of mechanism (SMDP, SMCP, SMDP→SMCP) and the number of stages of the multistep emission of secondary particles. In the above approach, we have discussed the experimental data for a broad class of reactions in various entrance and exit channels.

An expansion of Hartree-Fock and correlation energies,relativistic corrections and the dipole matrix element in the powers of of 1/Z

Feynman diagrammatic technique was used for the calculation of Hartree-Fock and correlation energies, relativistic corrections, dipole matrix element. The whole energy of atomic system was defined as a polen-electron Green function. Breit operator was used for the calculation of relativistic corrections. The Feynman diagrammatic technique was developed for 〈H_B>. Analytical expressions for the contributions from diagrams were received. The calculations were carried out for the terms of such configurations as 1s² 2sⁿ¹ 2pⁿ² (2 ≧n₁≧ 0, 6≧ n₂ ≧ 0). Numerical results are presented for the energies of the terms in the form $$E = E_0 Z^2 + \Delta {\rm E}_2 + \frac{1}{Z}\Delta {\rm E}_3 + \frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(E_0^r + \Delta {\rm E}_1^r Z^3 )$$ and for fine structure of the terms in the form $$\begin{gathered} \left\langle {1s^2 2s^{n_1 } 2p^{n_2 } LSJ|H_B |1s^2 2s^{n_1 \prime } 2p^{n_2 \prime } L\prime S\prime J} \right\rangle = \hfill \\ = ( - 1)^{\alpha + S\prime + J} \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {L S J} \\ {S\prime L\prime 1} \\ \end{array} } \right\}\frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(Z - A)^3 [E^{(0)} (Z - B) + \varepsilon _{co} ] + \hfill \\ + ( - 1)^{L + S\prime + J} \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {L S J} \\ {S\prime L\prime 2} \\ \end{array} } \right\}\frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{4}(Z - A)^3 \varepsilon _{cc} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Dipole matrix elements are necessary for calculations of oscillator strengths and transition probabilities. For dipole matrix elements two members of expansion by 1/Z have been obtained. Numerical results were presented in the form P(a,a′) = a/Z(1+τ/Z).     

Alternative technique for Standard Model estimation of the rare kaon decay branchings \left. {BR(K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu )} \right|_{SM}

We estimate $BR(K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu )$ in the context of the Standard Model by fitting for λ _t≡V _tdV _ts ^* of the “kaon unitarity triangle” relation. To find the vertex of this triangle, we fit data from |? _K|, the CP-violating parameter describing K mixing, and a _ψ,K , the CP-violating asymmetry in B _d ⁰ → J/ψK ⁰ decays, and obtain the values $\left. {BR(K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu )} \right|_{SM} = (7.07 \pm 1.03) \times 10^{ - 11} $ and $\left. {BR(K_L^0 \to \pi ^0 \nu \bar \nu )} \right|_{SM} = (2.60 \pm 0.52) \times 10^{ - 11} $ . Our estimate is independent of the CKM matrix element V _cb and of the ratio of B-mixing frequencies ${{\Delta m_{B_s } } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Delta m_{B_s } } {\Delta m_{B_d } }}} \right. \kern-0em} {\Delta m_{B_d } }}$ . We also use the constraint estimation of λ _t with additional data from $\Delta m_{B_d } $ and |V _ub|. This combined analysis slightly increases the precision of the rate estimation of $K^ + \to \pi ^ + \nu \bar \nu $ and $K_L^0 \to \pi ^0 \nu \bar \nu $ (by ?10 and ?20%, respectively). The measured value of $BR(K^ + \to \pi ^ + \nu \bar \nu )$ can be compared both to this estimate and to predictions made from ${{\Delta m_{B_s } } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Delta m_{B_s } } {\Delta m_{B_d } }}} \right. \kern-0em} {\Delta m_{B_d } }}$ .
